PHILADELPHIA - The top receiver in the NFL is from Detroit Lakes, Minn.
No, let's try that again.
One of the best players in the NFL is from Detroit Lakes, Minn.
Stop and think about that for a moment.
Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings, the former Laker of whom we speak, deserves that respect. No longer is he the local guy who got a $500 scholarship to NCAA Division II Minnesota State Mankato. He is more than that.
This didn't happen overnight and this might be a declaration already made in other circles. But if you watched the Vikings beat the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, you saw a player who did it all. For real.
He caught passes. He recovered an onside kick to seal the game. He fair caught a punt. He probably cooked the post game meal and flew the plane back to Minneapolis.
OK, the last one's a joke. But Thielen did set a modern-day NFL record. For real.
As of this writing, the kid from Detroit Lakes is statistically the leading receiver in the NFL. His seven catches for 116 yards in Minnesota's 23-21 victory gives him 47 receptions for 598 yards, an average of 12.7 yards per catch.
Adam Thielen has better numbers than Odell Beckham Jr., Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Davante Adams and ... well ... everybody.
"Honestly, there are so many factors that lead into that. We've been in some blowout games where you're getting easy catches and things like that. It doesn't really mean a whole lot," Thielen said. "This win means the most and I got a lot of work to do because even if you have good stats, it doesn't mean you're playing well."
Humility and deflection have always been strengths of the fifth-year receiver-how Minnesotan of him-but there's no need for it. Thielen and Stefon Diggs are one of the most potent receiver combinations in the league and, with a quarterback who is capable of getting them the ball, they are thriving.
Did you see the throw Cousins made to Thielen in the third quarter that went for 68 yards? Just before getting smashed by Philadelphia's Fletcher Cox, Cousins unloaded a deep ball from Minnesota's end zone down the right sideline to Thielen, who had juked cornerback Jalen Mills with a stop-and-go move. Thielen caught ball in stride and zig-zagged to the Eagles 27.
"I mean, shoot, you look at one of the first plays of the game when he's getting hit and he just throws it out there and let's me run to it and make a play," Thielen said. "All day, he continues to sit back there and trust us to get open. A lot of times he probably he can't even see us."
The kid from Detroit Lakes also made NFL history Sunday. He became the first player in the Super Bowl era, that's since 1969, to record more than 100 yards receiving in each of his team's first five games of a season.
Jerry Rice didn't do it. Randy Moss didn't do it. Terrell Owens didn't do it.
Adam Thielen did.
It is reflexive for those who cheer for the Vikings, and those who cover them, to see the receiver in the context of being a Minnesota high school product who was overlooked by all the big schools so he ended up playing at Minnesota State Mankato for a small scholarship.
That was the story for Thielen his first three years in the NFL. Last season, he was the player with the great backstory who could also play a little bit.
It's time to put the backstory to bed completely. Thielen is a legitimate star in the NFL and it's time he's treated that way.
He's moved the narrative from being a player from Detroit Lakes who happens to be in the NFL to being a player who is a star in the NFL and happens to be from Detroit Lakes.

The Bible - We believe the 66 books of the Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is without error as originally given by God, fully reliable in fact and doctrine.
God - There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Almighty Creator, Savior, and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to His sovereign will for His own glory.
Jesus Christ - We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was indeed fully God and fully human in His life on earth. We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary death upon the cross as payment for our sin, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is fully God, sent from heaven to glorify Christ. He convicts sinners, imparts spiritual life, and gives a true understanding of the Word of God. He indwells, sanctifies, and empowers all believers for worship, service, and ministry. Though we fully believe in the power of God to perform miracles, we also recognize that some of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit were given for a specific purpose (as a sign) in the early days of the establishment of the Church, and are no longer normally operative today (gift of tongues, prophecy, healing as in a "faith healer"). We do believe God can and still does heal at times when it is specifically His will to do so.
Salvation - We believe that man was originally created sinless. Tempted by Satan, Adam fell and thereby brought the whole human race under the condemnation of God. All are sinners and need to be saved from the penalty of sin (eternal damnation). God, in His sovereign purpose, has graciously chosen from among fallen mankind a people unto salvation. The gift of salvation is offered to all men and is received by grace alone through faith alone apart from human works or merit. Individuals are saved only through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit that leads to repentance of sin and faith in the complete work of Christ dying on the cross and being raised again. Our right standing before God is through grace alone, not on our works or merit.
Future - We believe in the personal and bodily return of Jesus Christ to consummate our salvation and to establish His glorious kingdom. He will raise the dead and judge the world in perfect righteousness--with eternal blessings of heaven for those who have been saved and judgment of eternal punishment in hell for those who remain condemned.
The Church - The true church is made up of those who have been saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ. The church exists to display God's glory in the true worship of God, the equipping of the saints, and the evangelization of the world.
Baptism and the Lord's Supper - The Word of God commands the Church to observe these two "ordinances". We practice believer's baptism by immersion. Baptism is not a means of our salvation. It is a visible demonstration of an inner reality, our identification with Christ. The Lord's Supper (the bread and the cup) is a memorial to remember Christ's death for us.
"Although these standards have been acknowledged to be of lesser importance than the inspired words of the scriptures, they cannot be neglected without resulting in serious impairment of the life of the church" (Preamble, Faith and Order). To read our full Articles of Faith please click here.

Canadian band Broken Social Scene plays Manchester show one day after attack
Officials are examining Abedi's trips to Libya as they piece together his allegiances and try to foil any new potential threats.
Armed police officers stand outside a residential property near to where a man was arrested in the Chorlton area of Manchester, Britain May 23, 2017.
The suicide bomber who attacked a concert at the arena was likely to have been working with other terrorists but was only known to the security services "up to a point", the British home secretary said earlier on Wednesday.
Hundreds of armed military personnel meanwhile fanned out to take up guard duties at the British parliament and Buckingham Palace - a highly unusual sight on the streets of Britain since the end of the Northern Ireland conflict in the 1990s. The traditional ceremony is a major tourist attraction in London.
Rudd was asked by the BBC about the fact that information about Abedi, including his name, had come out of the United States before it was cleared by British authorities.
Armed police patrol a street near the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday.
Interior minister Amber Rudd said Salman Abedi had likely not acted alone, and troops were being deployed to key sites across Britain to help prevent further attacks after the official threat level was raised to "critical".
Police have raided at least three addresses linked to Abedi and carried out a controlled explosion at one of the locations yesterday. The youngest victim was 8-year-old Saffie Roussos.
He said Salman was planning to head from Saudi Arabia to Libya to spend the holy month of Ramadan with family. "This is not us".
The father also confirmed to AP that his other son, Ismail, had been arrested.
Ramadan Abedi fled Tripoli in 1993 after Moammar Kadafi's security authorities issued an arrest warrant, and he eventually sought political asylum in Britain.
Now, he is the administrative manager of the Central Security force in Tripoli.
The BBC reported that security services thought the bomb was too sophisticated for Abedi to have built by himself.
British security forces worked Wednesday to wrap up a family based terrorist ring, as the father and brother of the British-born suicide bomber were arrested in the father's native Libya.
We also know now from the French interior minister that he went to Syria and has links with Islamic State.
Grande was greeted by her boyfriend, Mac Miller, according to Us Weekly, as she arrived home from the U.K. "Mac ran up to give her a hug and kiss right after her plane landed", an Us Weekly source said.
A total of 64 people are being treated in hospital, including 20 in critical care, medical officials said.
She also complained about USA officials leaking sensitive information about Abedi to the press, saying that could hinder Britain's security services and police.
"I think it's very clear that it's a network that we are dealing with", Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said on Wednesday afternoon.
As you surely know, 22 people were killed on Monday after a bomb was detonated after the Side To Side singer's concert at the Manchester Arena.
The Diocese of Salford announced that Bishop Arnold would say a special Mass for the victims May 23 at 12:30 p.m.at St. Mary's Church, which is the Catholic Mother Church of Greater Manchester. He is believed to have travelled by train from London before the attack, USA officials said. Jane Connors, who in charge of securing the capital.
It also published a diagram showing most of the fatalities occurred in a circle around the bomber, which it said indicated a powerful, high-velocity charge.

I bought it from GNC and went with Advance because I am going to Europe and plan to do some sight seeing.

Originally published at www.latimes.com:
El Salvador's presidential election too close to call
In the runoff, conservative candidate Norman Quijano trails leftist Vice President Salvador Sanchez Ceren by less than 0.2 percentage points.
By Richard Fausset
March 9, 2014, 10:22 p.m.
MEXICO CITY — El Salvador's presidential runoff was so close Sunday night that election officials declined to name a winner until a final count Monday.
Adding to the confusion of the evening, left- and right-wing parties each declared victory, while conservative candidate Norman Quijano, who was trailing by just a few thousand votes, alleged in a blistering speech that the count was fraudulent.
With nearly 3 million votes tallied — more than 99% of the total — Quijano, of the right-wing Arena party, was trailing Vice President Salvador Sanchez Ceren, who was a leftist guerrilla during the country's civil war, by 4,403 votes, according to the country's Supreme Electoral Tribunal. Quijano had 49.93% of the votes, while Sanchez had 50.07%.
In the early evening, the head of the electoral tribunal, Eugenio Chicas, said the vote was so close that a winner would not be declared until Monday, according to local news reports.
Shortly thereafter, Quijano, a former mayor of San Salvador, the nation's capital, went before hundreds of supporters there and denounced the tribunal's decision to delay the count. Quijano argued that his party had won and that the tribunal had been "bought and corrupted" by the leftist party, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, or FMLN. The Salvadoran armed forces, he said, "were watching out for this fraud."
Such fiery rhetoric is likely to raise alarm in a country that was engulfed in a civil war from 1979 to 1992, when the FMLN was an armed guerrilla group. As the tight election shows, the country remains deeply divided over the best way to lift a large chunk of the population from enduring poverty and to solve increasingly dire problems of gang violence and transnational drug shipments.
Medardo Gonzalez, a congressman from the FMLN, said Sunday that the vote showed that "the Salvadoran people decided to give the majority of the vote to Salvador Sanchez Ceren," according to the newspaper El Diario de Hoy.
Sanchez Ceren won the first electoral round with 49% of the vote in a three-way race; he was forced into a runoff because he did not receive more than 50%.

Here's a quiz about possible news headlines:
'Pigs fly.'
'August snowstorm hits the American South.'
'Contraband include items marked 'Bag Full of Drugs'.'
'Donald Trump admits he's not qualified to be president.'
Guess which one of these is real.
I almost know what you're thinking: it's the pigs, right?
Law enforcement officials have one of the toughest jobs in the world – especially in the U.S. and especially in Florida. (Florida has become legendary for its plethora of criminal oddities.) But a routine traffic stop on February 1 turned into an unexpected bonanza, when a police dog alerted his handler to the possible presence of drugs in the car. A quick search yielded – hold your breath – 2 small bags marked…'Bag Full of Drugs'.
If I had read this online, I would have checked the source more than a few times. But it's for real. Inside the bags, police found 75 grams (2.6 ounces) of methamphetamine, more than a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of the date-rape drug GHB, 3.6 grams (0.12 ounces) of fentanyl, plus ecstasy, cocaine and assorted paraphernalia.
The Drug Enforcement Agency could only have dreamed of this good fortune with "El Chapo" Guzman!
And I wish I was making this up because it would prove just how twisted The Chief's mentality can be on the day before the Saturday after Valentine's Day! As if you, dear readers, need anymore proof!
The moral of the story? Hell if I know! That's why I'm telling this story to you people!

No Tears
Last month actor Cory Monteith died of a drug overdose in a hotel room in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was 31. Monteith, a star of the popular musical TV series "Glee," apparently had struggled with drug addiction for some time. I had never heard of him until his death; due mainly to the fact I've never watched "Glee." Something about cheery high school kids breaking out into song in the midst of their teenage angst is just too saccharine for me. But, while I didn't know Monteith even existed until after he died, I've heard of his sad dilemma too many times. His circumstances are all too common: celebrity – drug addiction – rehab – dead in a hotel room. Think Janis Joplin; think Whitney Houston. Drug addiction and celebrity-hood are almost symbiotic. It's truly heartbreaking when someone becomes hooked on drugs or alcohol to the point that it rules and ultimately destroys their lives. But, despite the tragedy, I simply can't bring myself to cry for them. I have the same reaction to someone who smokes for 40 years and comes down with lung cancer, or who fucks almost everybody they meet and contracts HIV. Yes, it's sad, but what did you think would happen?
I also find hypocrisy in the mix. Trayvon Martin, for example, only had a trace of THC in his system when he was killed by an overzealous neighborhood watchman last year, but he was branded a thug. Monteith had been in and out of drug treatment for most of his young life, but he's considered troubled. The glaze of celebrity seems to upgrade one's station in life, and thuggish behavior transmutes into personal issues.
Drug addiction costs the U.S. roughly $160 billion annually; second only to alcohol abuse, which costs us about $185 billion every year. Those are just hard dollar figures related to various tangible things like hospitalizations and property damage. There's no way to put a price on the emotional toll substance abuse takes on people. There's no real means to assess the heartbreak parents feel as they look at their dead child in a coffin, or the fear residents of a neighborhood racked by drug violence experience every night.
I don't feel too sorry for people like Monteith because they pretty much bring the damage upon themselves. They're essentially responsible for the incessant carnage along the U.S. – México border. Since 2006, when then-Mexican president Felipe Calderón launched a massive crackdown on drug trafficking, some 40,000 people have been killed. Thousands more have disappeared. And, not all of them are tied to the drug cartels. Not every victim is a drug mule, or a hit man for a powerful drug lord. Many of them are innocent people caught in the crossfire of spontaneously brutal narcotics battles. Others victims are people who dared to refuse to bow to the cartels' extortion tactics. The U.S. has supplied the funding, which only makes sense, since the problem lies here. Mexican officials like to point out that, for every Mexican who uses illegal drugs, there are up 10 Americans who do. The other half of the problem, of course, is the gross incompetence and glaring corruption of the Mexican political system, as well as the governing bodies of other Latin American countries. But, if people didn't have an insatiable appetite for narcotics, the border region wouldn't be in the vise grip of bloodshed.
Drug laws in the United States have always had a racial component. The first – anti-opium laws passed in the 1870s – were aimed at Chinese immigrants. The first cocaine laws, passed in the early 1900s, were designed to prevent Black men from raping White women, even though White women at the time were much more likely to use cocaine. It's hard to imagine now, but cocaine was once perfectly legal. It was a common substance in many cold medicines. And – in case you didn't know – it was the principal element in Coca Cola. Contemporary narcotics laws – most stemming from Richard Nixon's self-proclaimed "War on Drugs" – have put more people in jail in the past four decades than at any time in U.S. history.
But, think how Cory Monteith obtained his drugs. He had to go out and get it; he had to know where to get it. Or, he had to pay someone to go out and get it. Or, know someone who could bring it to him. The stuff didn't just magically appear in his hands. No one accidentally dropped it into his luggage – a ruse some celebrities have tried before.
I can't relate to the anguish of drug addiction, but I understand alcoholism. I had known for a long time I had a problem. But, it all came into focus for me back in the mid-1990s, when a young man named Byron* arrived to work in the same bank as I did. Not much taller than me, Byron was affable and intelligent; his wire-rimmed glasses making him look especially distinguished. And, he walked with a pronounced limp – one result of a catastrophic drunk driving wreck a few years earlier. He was returning home from his job as a waiter, around 1:00 one weekday, a college student trying to balance school and work; when he noticed the car ahead of him suddenly veer off to the right. Then, he saw a pair of headlights bearing down on him. That's the last thing he recalled before waking up in the hospital some two weeks later. In a strange twist to the usual drunk-driving tragedies, he had survived, and the intoxicated driver had died. But, Byron wasn't much better. His body was damaged as badly as his sense of security. He spent months in recovery, which included a partial hip replacement and a prosthetic lower leg. But, aside from being alive, he found something good amidst the tragedy: that's how he met his wife; she was a nurse in the hospital.
Hearing his story made me reflect on one weekend night in 1988. I attended a party at a coworker's place where I consumed plenty of wine and even smoked some marijuana. I have to concede marijuana never did anything to me, except dry out my throat. But, as I headed home, I spotted a set of headlights far off in the distance. They were coming right at me. I managed to steer right and return to the proper side of the road. But, that fleeting second scared me enough to stay sober – for a while. I can't remember the number of times I've driven intoxicated. Occasionally, I was smart enough to lie down on the front seat of my vehicle for a while; other times, I pulled off the road; on some nights, I was fortunate to have a friend drive. I ruined entire weekends because I let Friday happy hours get out of control. A few times I had to take a day off work because I'd imbibed too much on a week night. I recall one Friday several years ago where a long happy hour inexplicably metamorphosed into suicidal mania. I arrived home suddenly feeling lethargic and viciously depressed. I don't know what came over me or why, but I managed to calm myself down after a while. I haven't had any such events in years. I've long since learned to control myself. Some people never get that proverbial grip on themselves. And, the outcomes are filled with sadness.
America's drug policy obviously hasn't worked out as well as its designers intended. We saw what happened with alcohol prohibition early in the last century. People still consumed it, and its banishment led to a long series of crime waves. Once prohibition was repealed, alcohol was regulated and taxed. That didn't exactly solve the problem of alcoholism. But, anti-drunk driving campaigns that began in the 1980s raised awareness of that particular crisis, and people take alcoholism much more seriously now. Personally, I think the U.S. at least could legalize marijuana. But, legalization of any narcotic is a much more complex matter.
If we could somehow track that one last drug hit Cory Monteith consumed, I doubt if he'd turn out to be the only casualty. God only knows how many people died just so he could get a fix. Yes, it's tragic. It's never a good thing when someone that young dies, much less under those circumstances. But, my heart doesn't ache too much for them. I just can't bring myself to shed too many tears.

Q: How to create indexes from two django apps in Haystack? My haystack search in working on one django app. But how to implement same on two different apps.
what i have tried.Created different search_index.py in both apps.
App1
import datetime
from haystack import indexes
from app1.models import App1

 class app1Index(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
    text = indexes.EdgeNgramField(document=True, use_template=True)
    app1_text = indexes.CharField(model_attr='app1_text',null=True)
    tags = indexes.CharField(model_attr='tags')

    def get_model(self):
        return App1

App2
import datetime
from haystack import indexes
from app2.models import App2

class app2Index(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
    text = indexes.EdgeNgramField(document=True, use_template=True)
    app2_title = indexes.CharField(model_attr='app2_title',null=True)

    def get_model(self):
        return App2

This is search.html
        {% for result in page.object_list %}

                {{ result.object.wish_text }}
                {{ result.object.title }}

I have data template for both apps in correct place.
App1
    {{ object.app1_text }}
App2
    {{ object.app2_title }}
If i dont use App2 search_index then for App1 it is working fine.
Also rebuild_index and update_index work for both apps .
Question : How Can i make it work for both apps ?

A: Well also i do not fully understand the problem you want to point at
So as far as i understood, building the index does work, which means app(1|2)Index do find the proper template.
It might be an url issue of app2. For further investigation the template might be of interest

A: I deleted everything everything and added again.
1 search_indexes.py in first app
1 search_indexes.py in second app
and a search.html template that fetch the results for both.

and Bingo this time worked perfect. So what was the issue . :) me too dont know may be some typo error.
If somebody need explaination on answer please drop a comment here :)

I am able to search on multiple apps now.
Any other solution is welcomed .
Accepted for future reference.

Being "free-from" or without harmful ingredients or practices.
Offering transparency in supply chain.
These factors clearly illustrate that the world today is filled with ingredient list readers—and not just in the United States. In fact, clean label has grown on an international scale, led by countries like Australia, Africa and the Middle East.
According to survey firm Nielsen, when polled, 80 percent of residents in the Asia-Pacific region said they were concerned about the long-term impacts of artificial ingredients on their health, and 77 percent said they wanted to be aware of every ingredient in their food. Artificial ingredients have declined globally overall, and product launches touting "no artificial ingredients" have a seen a 223 percent spike, according to market research firm Innova Market Insights.
What has set off this worldwide demand? There isn't one single event that can be given credit, but instead several different ones. Examples include the 2008 melamine contamination scare in China (where several infant formulas were found to be tainted with the plastic resin), or the selling of horse meat as other meat proteins in Europe in 2013.
As greater numbers of consumers move toward cleaner labels, retailers and brands are stepping in to make sure they can deliver the cleaned up goods. For example, many major brands in the industry have already made the shift to natural colors and flavors. Natural Bliss coffee creamer was launched in 2011 by Nestlé and contains just five ingredients: milk, cream, cane sugar, salt and natural flavor. Between 2014 and 2015, the product experienced a sales growth of more than 50 percent, according to research firm Packaged Facts. What's more, the firm has predicted a further 15 percent growth in sales of all refrigerated coffee creamers marketed as "clean label" by 2020.
Though some brands have encountered success, the road has not been so easy for others who have pursued the clean label path. According to an article by The New York Times, candy maker Mars spent massive amounts of time and money developing a natural blue color for their blue M&Ms, eventually discovering a variety of spirulina algae that would provide the needed hue. Consumers were grateful, but it was a taxing endeavor, even for a company of that size.
In addition to national brands, many major retailers are also offering clean label private brands. In 2016, a leading American supermarket with more than 350 stores throughout the U.S. rolled out their line of 400 products, promising to exclude more than 200 synthetic ingredients, including high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors. A second major American retailer has responded similarly to customer demand by introducing a private label line that features products with simple ingredient lists at an affordable price.
All signs point to the conclusion that "clean" is not a short-lived industry proposition or a passing fad, but instead, a way for consumers to express their desire for transparency and for healthful products.

The Story of the House
In the heart of Rosebank is the historic home of the inventor, Antonio Meucci and the legendary hero, Giuseppe Garibaldi. The simple country residence was built circa 1840 in the Gothic revival style. In 1850, Meucci and his wife Ester learned of its availability and soon after began renting it. Shortly thereafter, Garibaldi arrived in New York seeking refuge. Meucci offered him the hospitality of his home and together they worked in his candle factory. Later, in 1854, Garibaldi returned to Italy leading military forces that would provide for the unification of Italy and would win him worldwide fame.
When Garibaldi died in 1882, a committee formed to commemorate the hero's stay on these shores. In 1884, Meucci was on hand when a plaque was placed over the front door of the house. After Meucci's death, the house was turned over to the Italian Community to be preserved as a memorial to Garibaldi.
In 1907, on the centennial of the hero's birth, the house was moved to its present location, and here a pantheon was erected over it. In 1919, the Garibaldi Society turned the house over to the Order Sons of Italy in America. The Order has restored and maintained the house ever since. With the assistance of the cultural department of the Italian Embassy, artifacts were collected from around the world. In May of 1956, the house was opened to the public and rededicated as The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum. Today, the museum is a National Landmark owned and operated by the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America.
La Storia della Casa
Nel cuore di Rosenbank si trova la casa dell'inventore Antonio Meucci e dell'eroe nazionale Giuseppe Garibaldi. La semplice casa di campagna fu costruita all'incirca nel 1840, in stile neo-gotico...
La Storia della Casa.
Garibaldi è stato uno dei più grandi eroi italiani di tutti i tempi e sicuramente il più famoso soldato del Risorgimento. Condusse molte delle campagne militari che portarono alla formazione dell'unità d'Italia nel 1861. E' chiamato l'eroe dei Due Mondi, in onore delle spedizioni militari compiute in Sud America e in Europa...
Giuseppe Garibaldi: Patriota italiano e combattente del Risorgimento (4 Luglio 1807 – 2 Giugno 1882)
Antonio Meucci fu un prolifico inventore e scienziato italiano, conosciuto soprattutto per l'invenzione, nel 1857, di un apparecchio di trasmissione della voce. Molti pensano che l'invenzione del telefono dovrebbe essere attribuita a lui...
Antonio Meucci: Inventore (13 Aprile 1808 – 18 Ottobre 1889)

Here at The Vineyard, we specifically chose our Main Road address simply because of the immediate proximity to local services. Our residents very rarely use their cars, and in fact have labelled The Vineyard the "5-minute Village". Everything....and we mean everything is just 5 minutes walk away. The best part is that in 10 years time, everything will still only be just 5-minutes away. Ditch the car, and get out and be active today! Enjoy the freedom that comes with being in the heart of the McLaren Vale township.

Use of Electron Spin as an Alternate to Chiral Reagent
The concept of chirality, also known as handedness, is constantly debated among chemists. From the spiralling of plant stems and snail shells to the double helix of DNA and the twists and turns of the proteins it encodes, all forms of life exhibit handedness. Organic chemists who aim to create agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals, which interact with living organisms, may find that chirality is crucial to activity and efficacy. This is true whether the chemist is trying to eliminate a specific species of crop pest with an insecticide or treat a specific disease.
Conventional chemical wisdom holds that chiral reagents, chiral catalysts, or at least chiral auxiliaries are necessary for reactions that produce a single chiral form when two are feasible. However, research into magnetism, polarised light, and other physical phenomena has been undertaken to manage enantiomeric excess without the use of custom-tailored designer reagents. In the 1990s, allegations surfaced that magnetism alone could act as a chiral agent, however they were rapidly disproven [1]. Although magnetism alone has little effect, there is some evidence that it can be utilised in concert with incident polarised light to nudge a reaction towards one enantiomer rather than the other. This effect is called magnetochiral anisotropy.
A Chiral Propagation
The idea of manipulating a reaction's chirality has been flipped on its head thanks to the work of David H. Waldeck (University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA), Yossi Paltiel (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel), Ron Naaman (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel), and others. They investigated the possibility of using electron spin as a chiral "reagent" to control a chemical process. The inherent angular momentum of an electron, or its "spin," is a quantum phenomena. Up, down, left, right, or whichever direction you want. Given that it has a value of 1/2, it is analogous to a Moebius strip, where it takes two full rotations, or circuits, either clockwise or counterclockwise, to return to the initial position.
The group proposes that an electron injection can be performed at a magnetised electrode. In this region, they can be adsorbed onto a moving molecule with a specific spin orientation. The team claims that such spin-polarized electrons can serve as a chiral bias for enantioselective reactions and so substitute a traditional enantiopure chemical reagent. With three independent proof-of-principle studies, the researchers have established the viability of this theory.
There is no way for the electron spin to interact with chirality. Naaman says, "When the electron is in motion, however, its linear momentum and spin define helicity. The electron can be thought of as a bullet that can rotate either to the right (positive helicity) or to the left (negative helicity) as it travels. It's also possible for a chiral molecule's handedness to be affected by the spin's helicity, he says.
Methods of Choosing
The group first shows that a spin-polarized monolayer film of achiral carboxyl-terminated alkanethiols can form an enantioselective association with a chiral molecule, in this case (S)- or (R)-1-amino-2-propanol (right) (pictured left). Enantiospecific electrochemical reduction or oxidation reactions, such as those involving chiral ferrocene derivatives or camphorsulfonic acid, are driven by the chiral bias created by the electron helicity in the second and third experiments.
The group emphasises that the polarised spin crossing the interface between the substrate and the molecule, rather than an enantiospecific interaction of the molecule with the ferromagnetic electrode, is responsible for the chiral bias in the system. In all three examples, the team finds, "the sense (left-handed versus right-handed) of the enantioselectivity is defined by the direction of the electron spin polarisation." Their research, they say, proves a new mechanism for achieving enantioselective reactions without the use of chiral reagents or catalysts.

Q: how does incorrect Docker postGIS command RUN succesfully? I was just having a look at this postgreSQL image here, the image is postGIS enabled. See the dockerfile that builds the image , it looks as follows:
FROM postgres:9.4
MAINTAINER Mike Dillon <mike@appropriate.io>
ENV POSTGIS_MAJOR 2.1
ENV POSTGIS_VERSION 2.1.7+dfsg-3~94.git954a8d0.pgdg80+1
RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ postgresql-$PG_MAJOR-postgis-$POSTGIS_MAJOR=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ postgis=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN mkdir -p /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d COPY ./initdb-postgis.sh /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/postgis.sh

Notice the environment variable for postGIS:
ENV POSTGIS_VERSION 2.1.7+dfsg-3~94.git954a8d0.pgdg80+1

Also have a look at the RUN command, like follows:
RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ postgresql-$PG_MAJOR-postgis-$POSTGIS_MAJOR=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ postgis=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

So basically the postGIS image is being constructed using the below command:
postgis=$POSTGIS_VERSION

Now, if you go to docker hub and type in the search bar "postgis" , you will get no official repository.
Secondly, from the command line if i execute the following command:
sudo docker pull postgis

I get a message that a repository does not exists.
if the repository does not exists, how does the postgreSQl(which is postGIS enabled) image successfully build ?? I.E. how is the below script correct ?
FROM postgres:9.4
MAINTAINER Mike Dillon <mike@appropriate.io>
ENV POSTGIS_MAJOR 2.1
ENV POSTGIS_VERSION 2.1.7+dfsg-3~94.git954a8d0.pgdg80+1
RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ postgresql-$PG_MAJOR-postgis-$POSTGIS_MAJOR=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ postgis=$POSTGIS_VERSION \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN mkdir -p /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d COPY ./initdb-postgis.sh /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/postgis.sh

Thank you.

And Then There Were Four, Again
It seems like just a few months ago, the National Labor Relations Board reached its full complement of five members and yet we're currently back to only 4 appointees (2 republican & 2 democrats). It actually was only three months ago (September 25, 2017) when the US Senate confirmed the fifth and final Trump appointee…
Democrats Protesting NLRB Rulings
Speaking of the NLRB and the recent rulings by which the (then 5-member) Board officially overturned a number of egregious Obama-era decisions (joint employer, employment manuals, and others), ranking democrat members of the Senate and House Workforce Committees are alleging one member was "compromised". Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Representative Bobby Scott (D-VA) sent a…
But They're Good With Tip Pooling Extension
As aghast as the aforementioned Representative Bobby Scott claimed to be over the reversal of the joint employer and other rulings by the NLRB, it appears he was much pleased with Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta and his extension of the public comment period on a potential tip pooling rule change. You will recall that…
Senate Confirms 3 To DOL
While DOL considers comments submitted about a potential change in the tip pooling rule, the department welcomed three new executive level employees to their shop as the full Senate gave formal confirmation to three Trump appointees to the DOL. Last week, the Senate confirmed the nominations of Kate S. O'Scannlain, from Maryland, to be Solicitor…
Tax Reform Losers?
As we hear more and more punditry on who wins with the new Tax Reform law the President signed last week (80% of American taxpayers will see a tax reduction!) and who loses, it seemed to take a bit of a comical twist last week with the complaints of a number of institutions of higher…
New Jersey Tax Change
And for the record, the new federal tax reform law, which doubles the exemption from the federal estate tax for the next 8 years, after which the higher threshold sunsets.

Seattle Joins Soda Tax Brigade
From the Pacific Northwest, effective January 1, 2018, Seattle becomes the latest city to impose a new tax on so-called sugary drinks as the city will begin charging a new 1.75 cents per ounce tax on the distribution of sodas and other sweetened beverages. Technically, the tax will be imposed on beverage distributors, but they…
Notwithstanding higher labor costs (minimum wage hikes and paid sick leave mandates) along with new taxes being imposed by several states and local governments, consumer confidence remains solid and the economy continues to grow at healthier rates than it has for years – and we think that bodes quite well for business interests into the…
Tax Reform Reality
It may have been a few months coming, but the republican controlled Congress has finally given President Trump a significant legislative victory with this week's passage of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, sending the legislation to the White House just in time for Christmas. The pundits on both sides have had plenty to say…
A Bang, Not A Whimper
The term of National Labor Relations Board Chairman Philip Miscimarra ended at midnight last Saturday in a blaze of glory as the new NLRB republican majority overturned several egregious Obama-era decisions, the last of which was the 2011 Specialty Healthcare ruling.

Will We Ever Find out What Caused This Gut-Wrenching 145 MPH Crash at Road America?
Robert Dubler has been a staple driver on the long-running One Lap of America tour, competing in each of the past 12 years. I first met him when I did the One Lap race back in 2005 and he immediately struck me as one of the most charismatic character on the tour: the Clint Eastwood of Switzerland and The Wizard of Oz monikers equally apply. Dubler is also one of the best drivers I have ever met: he was driving a Pontiac Grand Am P.O.S. rental back in 2005 and he was usually running in the top half of a field where well set up cars with 300-400 HP were considered just average.
Needless to say, I was shell-shocked to hear that Dubler had a horrific 145 MPH crash and rolled the car over the fence at Road America during the 2012 One Lap event. How could that be? I've seen him drive and I know what he is capable of. Then I found this intense and absolutely horrifying in-car video of his crash.
What would possess a superbly experienced driver like Dubler to turn his CTS-V wagon deliberately off track at 145 MPH? Look where his car is pointing right before the crash:
NOTE: The owner has removed the video from YouTube.
This happened in Turn 8 at Road America during the last road course event on the 2012 One Lap calendar. The CTS-V wagon had been flawless up until that point. You know Dubler must have had no brakes to turn the car in such a suicidal way. Dubler attempted to brake for the turn and the brake pedal went to the floor without returning. Sensing he had no brakes, in a split-second decision Dubler cut infield of the turn to scrub some speed off and avoid hitting the outer wall head on. It's like cutting your own arm off to give yourself a chance to survive. Pause the video at 0:23 and you will see that the car is intentionally aimed to get as close to the inside wall as possible, just missing the event photographer in white shirt on the left.
When the car came in contact with the inside curbing, the right front suspension (wheel, brakes, hub, part of upright) ripped from the chassis and tucked under the car, causing it to pitch up and into the gravel trap. The car then rotated 180 degrees, hit the wall, and flipped 4-5 times over the wall (the in-car cam broke free on the second roll). The CTS-V landed wheels down and amazingly, Robert walked right out of the car without a visible scratch. The car had no roll cage. That Robert survived the crash is a testament to the CTS-V's structural rigidity (even though the doors did open during the crash.)

Coincidentally, the exact same thing happened to another CTS-V (this one a sedan), which rolled over the fence at Road America's Turn 12 during the 2010 One Lap event. That car crashed on the recon lap and it was assumed at the time that the crash was related to poor bedding of the pads to the rotors. It may be too much of a similarity with Dubler's CTS-V to chalk it up to coincidence. It is quite possible that there was a mechanical/electrical brake system failure due to a specific combination of variables (speed, pitch, yaw, etc.) Brock Yates Jr. was recently quoted as describing the condition as "ice mode" in the ABS system. In essence, due to the car's aggressive slip angles, the computer falsely calculates conditions specific to driving on ice and only allows a small percentage of the brakes to be applied, so the tires wouldn't lock up.
The CTS-V wagon's right front suspension was ripped out in the crash
This "ice mode" mystery should be easy to resolve with the data logged in by GM's in-car black box, better known as OnStar. After two very similar and well documented crashes, shouldn't someone be looking at the speed, pitch, yaw, and ABS data logged in the final seconds leading up to the rollover? Robert Dubler was very lucky to survive this insanely scary crash. He would be relieved to know what caused it.
