University of Galati hosted the biggest discussion in the past 30 years of sturgeon conservation in the Danube Basin and the Black Sea
120 delegates of the scientific community, fisheries, water and environmental administrations, and representatives of civil society from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Canada and the European Commission came together to attend the International Conference "Conservation of Danube Sturgeons – a challenge or a burden" in Galati (Romania) last week. This is the biggest discussion in the past 30 years of sturgeon conservation and its challenges in the region of the Danube Basin and the Black Sea.
Among the main objectives of the conference was to elaborate key messages to decision makers in all relevant institutions and the respective stakeholders as a basis for shaping future actions and the way forward to save sturgeons from extinction. These link to the "Galati Declaration" on Sturgeon Conservation in the Danube Basin and the Black Sea, which was unanimously adopted by all conference participants in attempt to require follow-up sturgeon conservation activities across countries and sectors on all relevant levels.
To ensure the success of recovery initiatives on sturgeons stocks, concerted actions of all parties at the Black Sea are also required, such as:
Determination of stock assessment methods;
Improving & enhancing breeding grounds;
Preserving their natural habitats;
Restocking programmes along the coastal sea zones.
An immediate need is to prolong a long-term fishing ban and to strengthen enforcement in the Danube and the Black Sea region. Special deliberation was held upon protection from further losses of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, such as poaching and by-catch. Some of the "LIFE for Danube Sturgeons" experts, who were present in Galati, took the opportunity to underline that fishing bans and conservation efforts have to be maintained on a long-term basis due to the late maturity of sturgeons and the resulting long life cycles.
Galati Declaration can be found under Project Materials on this website as well as on the official website of the conference: www.sturgeon.ugal.ro

I'm June Gronseth, born in 1966, female. Living in Norway, above the arctic circle, in Lofoten. Nature is spectacular in this archipelago, and for me, who is in love with nature, it's my pleasure to capture the lights of the seasons from dark polar days in winter to bright sunshine nights in summer. My first exhibition was in 2012, and by end of 2015 more than 50 different exhibitions, rounded 436 accepted works with 166 titles in PSA exhibitions.
June received her PPSA in 2015.


Over the course of the years, researchers have searched for answers to the question of what guides decision making in the field of child welfare. A 1995 study of child protective services caseworker decision making conducted in Texas found that "no clear pattern regarding the decision to provide services or to remove the child from the home emerged." Admission or denial on the part of the alleged perpetrator, the capacity of the caregiver as represented by the absence of parenting skills, unrealistic expectations of the child, as well as the refusal to accept parental responsibility were among some of the placement factors the researchers identified (Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, 1995).
An early study by Bernice Boehm examined the criteria used by caseworkers in making the decision to place a child out of the home or to provide at-home services. It was found that workers had a "tendency to use a model family as a frame of reference, and to evaluate problem behaviour by the extent of deviation from ideal parenting." It was ultimately concluded that "the decision for placement is based largely on an evaluation of maternal care" (Boehm, 1962; Stein, Gambrill, & Wiltse, 1978, p. 9).
Phillips et al. (1971) examined intake decisions for 309 children in three state agencies located in two eastern cities. No single item or combination of factors pointed strongly to a placement decision. In contrast to the findings of Boehm (1962), they noted that in two-parent families "the traits of the father were the single most important cluster of variables" in placement decisions, and that neither the "mother's functioning nor her relationship to the child were important considerations in reaching a decision."
Edmund Mech (1970) reported a study that sought to delineate factors involving whether a child should be maintained in custody or returned to the parent. Differential factors related to either decision could not be identified. Mech concluded that no framework for decision making existed, and the development of one was vital.
Other studies have identified decisions as based on a very stereotypical basis, largely unrelated to individual case need, and a lack of flexibility in intake policies and decision-making processes (McGowan, 1983). Studies have found that a high percentage of the information gathered by caseworkers during the intake interview was not related to the objective of reaching a placement decision (Stein & Rzepnicki, 1983); that there was a "lack of uniformity in the data gathered" by the caseworkers in one study, with either much data that appeared superfluous, or omissions in the data which appeared to be vital to decision making (Golan, 1969); and that predictions about a child's probable future varied substantially from one caseworker to another (Briar, 1963).
Decision-making deficits are to be found at all levels. Deborah Shapiro (1972) reported that caseworkers with more experience were more likely than those with lesser experience to discharge children from foster placement during the first year in care. Trudy Festinger (1996) sought to identify those factors which would serve to predict reentry into foster care. While the results were inconclusive, six variables relating to the decision were identified: parenting skills, social support, unmet service needs, caregiver problems, organizational participation, and caseworker experience. The results showed the two factors which were the strongest predictors of reentry were "limited parenting skills, such as assessed problems in communicating with their children, understanding child development, and handling discipline" and "a limited level of support from family, friends and neighbors." In results similar to those of Shapiro, Festinger identified the length of experience in the field of child welfare as having some bearing on the decision. These findings are particularly distressing in view of the historically high level of turnover in the field of child welfare.
It is hard to imagine how the results of the stochastic model could be more distressful, in terms of what it suggests for the outcome of children considered for removal. If the level of reliability were to slip much further than .25, all children, except in the most extreme cases, would have an equal likelihood of being placed in foster homes, meaning that the decision-making process would be roughly equivalent to a lottery!
A recent study in Washington state sponsored by the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect is particularly illuminating. A sample of 200 randomly selected child protective services referrals were identified and the workers who investigated those cases were interviewed about their decision-making processes. Major themes influencing child protective services caseworker decisions included issues associated with resources, individual and organizational factors, role ambiguity, and the willingness and ability of caretakers to recognize and participate in services. Significantly, findings of abuse in these cases were not necessarily related to whether or not maltreatment had actually occurred (English et al., 1998).
But if the vague statutes, increases in reporting, defensive social work, cultural incompetence, and poor decision making in the field aren't enough to ensure that a large number of children will be unnecessarily removed from their homes, one other factor is certain to do it. The Children's Defense Fund undertook a comprehensive review of the child welfare system. Project coordinator Jane Knitzer explained the studies findings to a Congressional committee, identifying as a major finding that "there is an antifamily bias that pervades the policies and practices of the child welfare system. The system works against families, not for them." The children in care are subject to continuing neglect at the hands of public officials, she explained, adding that the federal role exacerbates both the antifamily bias and the public neglect of children. This antifamily bias is "reflected at all points in the placement process," she said, and as a result: "Children are inappropriately removed from their families" (Committee on Ways and Means, 1979).
Despite federal and state laws and policies requiring the state to provide services to preserve families, in many cases the state fails to provide families the services they need in order to remain together. While cash or rental assistance might avert the need of costly foster care placement, generally the state claims it has no money in its budget for such payments. Families in need of intensive Family Preservation Services may be placed on a long waiting list and separated before help arrives. Families needing substance abuse treatment are usually referred to agencies with extensive waiting lists that cannot provide timely assistance. Overburdened case workers cannot give families the support and help they need to get into treatment programs. In too many situations, only foster care is offered as a solution. Unaware of any other options, parents often feel they have no choice but to sign a placement agreement.
According to the study, parents often report signing placement agreements under the threat that court action against them will be taken if they do not sign. In some instances, parents have been told that failure to sign means they will never see their children again. Many parents who have signed such agreements had language or other barriers making it difficult or impossible for them to read and understand the agreement they were signing. One of the more insidious aspects of these agreements is that parents, often unknowingly, waive their right to representation by counsel by signing. "Until such time as New Jersey adopts a system that utilizes placement agreements on a short-term basis in only truly voluntary situations, the State must address the need for representation in these cases," the report concludes.

Competition Race Report
Laughil Blake headed the Irish Derby entries after missing the English Greyhound Derby. Farloe Blitz joined him at the top of the ante-post betting after his English Derby campaign. Only one British connection travelled to Ireland to take part. Laughil Blake was taken out coughing before the first round and was retired to stud. When the action started Ballymac Matt went fastest during both the first and second rounds (29.43 & 29.47); Farloe Blitz impressed but Slippery Fred, Laughil Duke and Riverside Pat were all eliminated.  The night before the tricky third round a greyhound called Tyrur Van Gaal broke the track record, stopping the clock at 29.10; van Gaal had failed to make it past the first round.

Ballymac Matt recorded a third successive fastest round win in round three, setting a time of 29.44.  Peregrine Falcon remained the only other greyhound unbeaten recording 29.50 and Samiya looked good with a 29.46 success. Big names Farloe Blitz, Paradise Maverick and Sidarian Vega all squeezed through to the quarter-finals after third-place finishes in their respective heats, but Oaks champion Ballydoyle Honey failed to progress.

The quarter-finals saw Farloe Blitz bounce back to his best and easily winning the first heat; Rural Hawaii & Samiya made it no further. Heat two was won by Ballymac Matt, but his win time was bettered by other heat winners for the first time in the competition. The final two heats went to Gaytime Hawk and Peregrine Falcon; the former recorded 29.34 and the latter remained unbeaten. Paradise Maverick and Sidarian Vega both disappointed and made it no further.

As the semifinals got underway, it was the four quarter-final heat winners that were the favourites to claim a place in the final on 13 September. Gaytime Hawk picked up the weaker heat from Farloe Rumble and Kirby Memorial Stakes champion Cable Bay. The much stronger second heat resulted in Farloe Blitz from trap 2 defeating Ballymac Matt from 1 with Peregrine Falcon claiming third from Save the Don.

In the final Farloe Blitz was hot favourite after drawing the red jacket, but on paper the final looked very competitive. As the traps opened Farloe Blitz controlled the race as he maintained a nice lead from the start, but Ballymac Matt was prominent and pulled back Farloe Blitz on the run-in despite losing ground at the third bend. Ballymac Matt deserved the win, and Farloe Rumble finished strongly to take third place. Ballymac Matt later won the 2015 Irish Greyhound of the Year.

Vladyslav Povoroznyuk 1 , Nataliia Dzerovych 1 , Roksolana Povoroznyuk 1 , Anna Musiienko 1 & Didier Hans 2
1D.F. Chebotarev Institute of gerontology NAMS Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine; 2Center of Bone diseases, Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, Ukraine.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the trabecular bone score (TBS), bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in women of various ages.
Materials and methods: 494 women aged 41–89 years (mean age, 63.6±0.4 years; mean height, 1.61±0.003 m; and mean weight, 74.0±0.6 kg) were examined. The patients were divided into the following age-dependent groups: 40–49 years (n=35), 50–59 years (n=130), 60–69 years (n=177), 70–79 years (n=128), and 80–88 years (n=24). BMD of total body, PA lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured by the DXA method (Prodigy, GEHC Lunar, Madison, WI, USA) and PA spine TBS were assessed by the TBS iNsight Software package installed on our DXA machine (Med-Imaps, Pessac, France).
Results: We observed a significant decrease of TBS (L1–L4) as a function of age (40–49 years, 1.321±0.021; 50–59 years, 1.245±0.012; 60–69 years, 1.189±0.011; 70–79 years, 1.166±0.001; and 80–88 years, 1.114±0.033; F=14.28; P<0.001). We also found the lumbar spine BMD (40–49 years, 1.156±0.038 g/cm2; 50–59 years, 1.068±0.018 g/cm2; 60–69 years, 1.022±0.016 g/cm2; 70–79 years, 1.003±0.001 g/cm2; and 80–89 years, 1.007±0.037 g/cm2; F=5.11; P=0.0005) and proximal femur BMD (40–49 years, 1.012±0.037 g/cm2; 50–59 years, 0.940±0.013 g/cm2; 60–69 years, 0.923±0.011 g/cm2; 70–79 years, 0.843±0.012 g/cm2; and 80–89 years, 0.741±0.020 g/cm2; F=20.09; P<0.001) decrease with age.
Significant correlation was observed between TBS and BMD of lumbar spine (TBS=0.93+0.26×BMD (L1–L4); r=0.37; t=8.61; P<0.001), proximal femur (TBS=0.97+0.27×BMD (L1–L4); r=0.29; t=6.61; P<0.001) and lean (TBS=1.34−0.000003×lean mass (g); r=−0.11; t=−2.47; P=0.01) and fat (TBS=1.25−0.000003×fat mass (g); r=−0.100; t=−2.200; P=0.03) masses.
Conclusion: TBS and BMD of the examined women significantly decreased with ageing. We have also found a significant correlation of TBS and BMD of lumbar spine and proximal femur, lean and fat masses.

10 Stories of Hope From 2016
As we start a new year, let's look back on stories that gave us hope over the past 365 days. From hurricane assistance to tiny hearts, we look back on 2016 with hope for 2017.
Hide-and-Seek Heart Attack: As a healthy mom of four, 42-year-old dietician Alicia Fogarty didn't expect that a pain in her arm and jaw was a heart attack. After visiting Carolinas HealthCare System Pineville, she learned that she had suffered a rare type of heart attack known as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD, that many don't survive. Fogarty had surgery to open the blockage and repair the artery and is now taking medications to prevent the condition from returning. She is back to living life to the fullest with her children and clients and is committed to raising awareness of SCAD.
#ThisIsSober: We launched a campaign to put sobriety in the spotlight to help shatter the stigma around addiction and inspire people to change their lives. Six former addicts shared their stories to start a conversation about sobriety and the positive impact it had on them. Watch their stories.
After Two Types of Cancer, She's Diagnosing Others: At 5 years old, Isabella Hanvey was diagnosed with cancer. She was cancer-free from age 8 until 22 and then she was diagnosed with a different form of cancer. Her right leg had to be amputated, but this didn't stop Hanvey from becoming a medical laboratory scientist so that she could help diagnose patients. This past August she graduated with the rest of her Medical Laboratory Science program classmates and now works at Levine Cancer Institute-SouthPark.
From Thailand to Nursing School to MD and the Air Force: When Paveena Posang, MD, left her homeland of Thailand, she promised her aunt that she would become a nurse. Posang not only became a nurse, but she also went on to become a doctor. As an immigrant to the US, Posang then wanted to do something for the country that allowed her to flourish so she joined the US Air Force and served for four years. She now cares for patients in Mooresville as a Primary Care and Urgent Care physician.
Boy Scout Bringing Beauty, Hope to Honor Aunt: When Macklin Rett, 14, heard that his aunt was diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome, he immediately wanted to do something in her honor. As a Boy Scout, Rett was planning his Eagle Scout project and met with leaders at Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast to find a way to pay tribute to other patients battling cancer. He worked on a space outside the infusion area at Levine Cancer Institute-Concord to convert a fountain into a healing garden for patients and visitors.
LCI Wedding: Becky Yonker had been receiving care at Levine Cancer Institute since July 2013 when she was diagnosed with a stage-four brain tumor. In October 2016, what was supposed to be a routine visit turned out to be her surprise wedding, planned by her care team. While Yonker and fiancé, Jarrod Bradly, were legally married in April 2016, they hadn't had a chance to plan a formal ceremony and didn't think it would happen due to medical issues. When Yonker was given the invitation to her wedding, she knew it was a dream come true.
Two Children, Two Moms, Two Hearts, Two Weeks Apart: Two mothers whose sons came to Levine Children's Hospital two weeks apart formed a rare bond as both boys were put on the Berlin heart, a mechanical device to help maintain blood flow and keep organs working. Each boy needed a heart transplant and as the mothers spent months waiting for donors, they were able to lean on each other for support during the difficult time. After four months, the first boy received a transplant and two weeks later, the second boy received a transplant. One mother described it as, "a bond that you couldn't make up if you tried, you couldn't time it more perfectly if your tried."
NFL Coach Gets New Lease on Life: Former NFL head coach, Sam Wyche, was days from dying if he did not receive a heart transplant. The problem was that there was no heart available. Six hours after being told that he would head home to be in hospice's care, Wyche's doctor came back to inform Wyche that there was a heart and he was going to have a transplant in the early hours of the next morning. After the successful transplant, Wyche has found a new purpose promoting organ donation.
MED-1: After Hurricane Matthew wreaked havoc on the Carolinas in October, Carolinas MED-1 mobile hospital team departed from Charlotte and traveled to Lumberton, NC, to staff a 25-bed shelter. While providing support and supplies to manage minor to severe emergency medical conditions, there was even a birth on MED-1.
Hospice Honors Purple Heart Veteran: Richard Roza kept his Purple Heart and other awards in a grocery bag in his home, often too humble to bring up his incredible service in the US Army Air Corps. It wasn't until he opened up to his hospice nurse that she learned about his sacrifices. She was able to provide not only physical but emotional support to Roza in his final months. She was able to be a listening ear as Roza shared stories and pictures from his time serving while she cared for the lingering remnants of a wartime wound.

Alleged Clinton mistress: Hillary had several abortions, kept Chelsea for political reasons — Video
In an interview with the American Mirror, Sally Miller, a woman who claims she was a mistress to former President Bill Clinton, said that Hillary Clinton, the current Democratic Party front-runner, has had several abortions and only kept Chelsea after her husband convinced her she would be good for their political image.
"She had several abortions before she had Chelsea, and it was only because Bill convinced her that if they were ever to move up in politics, they had to have a child, because that's what the political analysts had said," Miller said. "They've got to see her [Hillary] as a human."
"I think in society, they always say, 'if you were a mother, you can't be half bad,' you know," she added. "There has to be some love or gentleness or compassion within you if you've birthed a child, but that's not true."
Video of her comments can be seen below:
The Daily Caller added:
This isn't Miller's first attack against Clinton.
In February, she claimed the former secretary of state was a lesbian.

The Butler-Freeport Community Trail provides access to 40+ geocaches which range from tiny film canister size to small match holder size to large 50 cal ammo box size.
Our trail council and BACON, a local geocaching group sponsor introductiory geocaching events throughout the year along our trail.
In May 2000, the United States government officially removed "selective availability" from the Global Positioning System satellites. This meant that civilian GPS units now possessed greater accuracy than previously permitted. Within days a GPS enthusiast hid a container in the backcountry of Oregon, posted the coordinates on the internet and told others to "go find it!". The phenomenon of Geocaching sprang from that one simple posting! As it has grown in the years since, it still is a simple process: find the cache, optionally take and leave something, and sign the logbook. Always bring your own pen or pencil! The cache may have one or not.
Getting started is easy. If you have a handheld GPS and Internet access, you're halfway there! Log on to GEOCACHING.COM and enter the zip code, location name or gps coordinates of the location where you would like to go geocaching. Location names to use along our trail are: Butler, Vogleyville, Herman,Great Belt, Marwood, Cabot, Sarver, Monroe and Laneville. Our website's maps page has a trailhead chart which shows the gps coordinates of our trailheads. Also geocaching.com also contains bookmark lists of caches along our trail. Enter the longitude and latitude of the geocache you want to search for into your GPS. You will probably also want to print out a copy of the geocache sheet.
Pay close attention to any suggested parking areas – this may save you lots of bushwacking – and in some cases there may be only one way into the cache. Also review log entries to see if the cache has been found recently or if several searchers couldnt find it it may have been muggled. Some terms or acronyms you may see on the cache sheet: muggle – a non-geocaching person; TFTC Thanks for the cache; TNLN Took nothing, left nothing; SL So long. Go get it! Search in the area your GPS leads you. Usually GPS accuracy will be limited to a thirty-foot area. Keep this in mind as you search. Keep in mind in the summer when the trees are in full folliage, your gps may give less accurate readings – you could be up to 80 feet off. When you find the cache, take something from the container and leave something you've brought with you. Sign the logbook and then return the container to its hiding spot for the next finder.
After receiving the coordinates and other information from the website, another Geocacher uses a hand-held GPS to look for the cache. The GPS receives signals from the Global Positioning System satellites to give the user their current longitude and latitude. However, the Geocacher has no idea of the altitude of the cache location or the terrain or what kind of structure the cache container might be hidden in. This is part of the challenge of finding the cache!
An inexpensive hand-held GPS can receive signals from the 26 Global Positioning System satellites in orbit over 12,000 miles away! A Geocacher carefully chooses a location and fills a container with items to trade and a logbook. He then registers his new cache on GEOCACHING.COM to share it with the rest of the world.
As Geocaching has grown, several variations of the game have evolved. Some are: Containers are typically watertight and often are transparent, so that the contents are clearly visible to anyone who might stumble across it accidentally. The finder takes something from the container as a memento of their visit, leaves something for the next player, signs the logbook and returns the container to its hiding place. Later, they will log their visit on GEOCACHING.COM so that others can read about their adventure.
Geocaching is a great activity for young and old alike. Whole families form geocaching teams and spend time searching together! Hand-held GPS units start at about $100.
Pencil size canisters often only several inches long containing a tiny rolled up logsheet. Bring your own pen or pencil to write on it. Tweezers may be useful to get the log sheet out of the container.
Small caches often hidden in 35mm film canisters, usually with just a log-sheet. Very often these are hidden in urban settings with the challenge being finding them without being noticed.
A cache in which the finder must follow a set of instructions and go to several locations before finally finding the cache container. This is a great way to offer a guided tour of an area.
A meeting where several Geocachers get together for a day of fun. These are usually held in state parks or other public areas.
A puzzle must be solved in order to find the location of the cache container. The posibilities are only limited by the imagination and cunning of the hider.

"Beginning with the Australian Grand Prix in March(2018), every race will air live on the ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The package will include every practice and qualifying session and involve more than 125 hours of F1 programming across the first season."
I hope they keep Hobbs and Mattchet as the announcers.
I would love it if Steve matchett was no longer able to speak.
His insight is usually wrong as he is saying it and he always over reacts.
I like Will Buxton. The others are very "meh" to me. If ESPN hired Bob Varsha, Will Buxton, and Mark Webber I think it would be fantastic to watch.
One thing to note- Liberty is F1, Comcast is NBC.
So this split was almost inevitable.
Will I still have to learn how to record those events on the other side of the planet?
If you don't understand a DVR, how do you understand F1 tech?
You guys need to figure out how to steal Canadian TSN. They broadcast all the SKY Sports coverage It is leaps and bounds above the NBC coverage, and I'd bet it will be better than ESPN, too. Martin Brundle alone is worth the price of admission.
If you read the press release, it sounds like ESPN might just play the world feed, including the announcers. I'd be just fine with that!
I strongly dislike ESPN. Their strategy seems to be to make anything into "reality" TV. I get enough of that during the olympics. I don't need a faked touching story about some competitor that you want to highlight. Show me the sport let me see them unfiltered. I long for the days when the commentators on Speedvision would often just be silent for good long stretches. At least is feels like good long stretches compared to the constatalk method employed by everyone else today.
Do people really want to hear someone talking about what you are already watching? I could see if they let us know about stuff off camera but damn.
I guess I will have to see if I even get ESPN2. I usually try to make sure I am not paying for ESPN channels.
"Daniel Ricciardo says he hasn't discussed extending his Red Bull contract beyond next year as senior team figure Helmut Marko said he will be on the market for 2019."
I find the wording interesting. On the market with Red Bull wishing to re sign him, or on the market, kicking his lunch pail down the street?
If you don't understand a DVR, how do you understand F1 Cuz bro it speaks to me .....a dvr what?? BWaHahahaa!!!!!
So it was recently announced that Alfa Romeo is returning to F1!
Well, so they claim. The brand is being attached to the Ferrari Jr team, Sauber. And they are running Jr drivers, too. With Ferrari engines.
I don't really see this any different than Nissan/Infinity vs. Renault. Badge engineering.
If it mattered, it's been over 30 years since Alfa was in F1, and they hadn't done really well for over 60 years.
But I don't think it does matter.
It is ironic that Alfa Romeo is returning via Ferrari, when Ferrari (the team) was born from Alfa Romeo.
Would like more of Max V dive bombing Lewis......oh and is there a glimmer of hope with HAAS???
Ugh, NO. Cannot stand Hobbs on commentary. I respect what he's done as a racer, but I would prefer he had stayed just a racer. There's a reason I usually waited until after the race, then watched either Channel 4 or Sky coverage.
But they're done. I read elsewhere that ESPN will be using the world feed, so it'll be Brit announcers. Hopefully without a commercial every 3 laps. This is potentially very good news for F1 in the US.
You know what's really impressive? They've already released the schedule! I never could figure out what channel NBC was going to broadcast on, and here ESPN has it figured out already. Maybe I'll actually watch some live races next year.
They should just buy the rights to Sky sport sound feed. Martin Brundle and David Croft in the booth with Ted Kravitz in the pit lane. I love that and can't stand the US broadcast in comparison.
I notice that although Ferrari have got Charles LeClerc into Alfa / Sauber Giovinazzi is just the reserve driver with Marcus Ericsson has kept his seat due to his strong ties with the Longbow who own the team.
Berk. I don't have cable and ABC won't come in on my HD antenna.
Oh well... I think I was able to watch one race this year - Mexico, IIRC the one when Hamilton clinched the title.
I second the Sky feed. I really like everything about their coverage, except that TSN in Canada cuts for commercials through the race, and since Sky doesn't know we missed that ninety seconds, no replays.
No, what I suspect we're going to see is that we'll get the World Feed announcers, they'll insert even MORE commercials (gotta pay for those licensing fees somehow, and they presumably outbid NBC), and now we won't even have announcers being aware of the fact that the commercial break happened. So we'll hop back mid-sentence, with no review of anything that happened during the break. Why is Hamilton now behind Vettel? You'll have to go check the news report afterwards.
I like Matchett, Varsha was pretty good, and while Hobbs is prone to "senior moments" mid-broadcast these days, he's still better than that scenario above.
None of the facilities are set up for a 30 car grid. Not enough garages, etc.


After doing a lot of purchases at the beginning of this season, Arsenal are now plans to sell the players who had failed to meet expectations. As quoted by the Daily Mail, one of the players who plan on the list of selling Arsenal in January next year is Sebastien Squillaci. Arsenal will take off Squillaci a price of about 3 million pounds or a loan.
You see, the arrival of Per Mertesacker earlier this season to make himself displaced, let alone the German players also performed well in line behind the Gunners. In addition to the back of the French defender, Wenger is also not satisfied with the performance of striker, Marouane Chamakh.
Carroll is arguably Arsenal failed purchase. Throughout last season, players from Morocco is only scored 11 goals from 44 appearances in all competitions.
Previously, goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has also been moved out of Emirates Stadium, and was at West Ham on loan. Arsenal's asking price of around 300 thousand pounds for the 34-year-old goalie was.
Rumors are growing too mengatakna their attackers came from Russia, Andrey Arshavin is being monitored by Schalcke, let alone a few days a new Arshavin plainly criticize Wenger. Arshavin will also open the possibility of lifting the foot from North London.

A Beginner's Guide to Getting Hooked on K-Dramas
Emma Chiaratti 09/06/2020
Unless you have been living under a rock, you would know the ever-growing popularity of the latest phenomenon brought by globalization: Korean media. Korean Pop music – commonly known as K-pop – has now become almost mainstream, dominating our iTunes and Spotify charts, and being basically, well, literally everywhere. As they got increasingly invested into the new musical wave, most K-pop fans slowly begun to discover more Korean media – such as movies like the Oscar-winning masterpiece Parasite, so much so that East Asian content has now become an important asset in popular culture.
The latest trend discovered by the general public are Korean Dramas, i.e. K-dramas. If you've never seen a K-drama before, let me just say: sorry guys, you're missing out on a lot.
K-dramas are all incredibly different from one another.
K-dramas are all incredibly different from one another, they have intricated and tangled diverse storylines, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat during every single episode. However, they all have the same main ingredient: romance, or better, the complete and utter belief in it. In all K-dramas, the characters believe in love and its power until the very end, no matter if the finale is tooth-rotting lovey-dovey, or absolutely heart-breaking. For every hopeless romantic like myself, this is one of the most appealing traits of K-dramas – that despite all life's ups and downs, amor omnia vincit, i.e. love conquers all.
So, here we have compiled a shortlist of K-dramas you must binge-watch this summer. You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, but most of all, you are for sure gonna get hooked.
Hotel del Luna (2019)
Hotel del Luna is probably one of the most complicated dramas out there, with its deeply intricated plot, but in a nutshell, it goes like this: Jang Man-wol (Lee Ji-eun, aka IU) is the owner of Hotel del Luna, an invisible hotel in Seoul that caters only to ghosts while they prepare for the transit to the afterlife. She has owned the establishment for about 1300 years, as she's being forced to run it by the deities in order to pay for the sins she committed during her lifetime. Because of a pact made by his father, Koo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-goo) begins working at the hotel as the general manager. However, he soon reveals himself to be far more important to Man-wol than she ever expected. This drama is exceptionally beautiful and will keep you hooked until the very last episode, but I must warn you: be prepared to shed a few (or many!) tears.
Sky Castle (2018-2019)
Just to give you an idea of how addictive Sky Castle truly is – it is the highest-rated show in Korean cable television history, having won over 22% of Koreans who would tune in every week to see the latest episode. The drama tells the story of four women and their obsession to keep the status quo of their families as members of the elite wealthy society of South Korea, and get their children into prestigious universities. Under a veil of satire, the series tackles many topics we're all familiar with, such as the difficulty of college entrance exams, parental pressure, and tricky family situations. And of course, a good dose of romance!
If you're looking for a wholesome drama with love triangles, a hint of angst, and a good dose of comic-relief, this one is for you!
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (2016-2017)
College girl Kim Bok-joo (Lee Sung-kyung) is trying to pursue her dream of becoming a professional weightlifter when she runs into childhood acquaintance and now star swimmer Jung Joon-hyung (Nam Joo-hyuck). They become friends and (surprise surprise) eventually develop feelings for each other. If you're looking for a wholesome drama with love triangles, a hint of angst, and a good dose of comic relief, this one is for you!
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)
From the 21st century, Go Ha-jin (Lee Ji-eun, aka IU) is magically transported during an eclipse back to the Goryeo era, during the reign of Taejo in the year 941. There, she wakes up as her doppelgänger, Hae Soo, cousin of the wife of the 8th prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha-neul), and is forced to live under her identity. With her angelic looks and pure grace, she captures the hearts of all the princes, yet she only has eyes for the dark and brooding 4th prince Wang So (Lee Joon-gi). As the drama develops, Hae Soo finds herself in the midst of the rivalry among the princes, as they fight for the place on the throne and the one in her heart. If you love romance, plot-twists, and historical digging, this show will surely steal and warm your heart, as well as break it into a thousand pieces. Just a tip – keep the tissues ready.
Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin) (2016-2017)
Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) was a mighty general from the Goryeo dynasty who, in the moment of his death, is cursed to live forever as a goblin. The only way he could ever really die is if he manages to find a human bride and she removes the invisible sword lodged into his chest. Luckily for him, he meets Ji Eun-tak (Kim Go-eun), a young girl who can see ghosts, who might just be the one he has been looking for to end his immortality. Despite their rocky start, the two eventually get closer and develop feelings for one another. Goblin is one of the most famous K-dramas out there, and it certainly earned its fame: with the way it intertwines mystery, mysticality and romance, who could resist its charms?
Strong Girl Bong-soon (2017)
Do Bong-soon (Park Bo-young) seems like a regular 20-something-year-old, but she has a secret: like all the women in her family, she was born with superhuman strength. Her dream is to one day become a videogame designer, but she has had no luck in finding a job so far. When she runs into gaming company CEO Ahn Min-hyuk (Park Hyung-sik), he hires her as his bodyguard after accidentally witnessing her powers. Throughout the show, the two develop feelings for each other, and Bong-Soon will find herself caught in a love triangle with the handsome CEO and with her long-time crush In Kook-doo (Ji Soo), while simultaneously trying to chase after a serial kidnapper. Magic, love, and a bit of thrill… what more could you wish for?

Each year a BCPE preparatory class is offered at the Applied Ergonomics Conference. The small size of the review class makes it possible to target the class to the audience's needs by answering specific questions and practicing human factors problem solving scenarios. Attendees of past prep classes have included individuals with educational backgrounds in occupational and physical therapy, safety, and human factors engineering. The diverse backgrounds of attendees demonstrate that the profession remains one in which some individuals enter via higher education in human factors, while others enter from other professions. The FPE and BCPE acknowledge the board members of the Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) for choosing to offer the class despite its small number of attendees, recognizing that this is the only preparation class offered. The AEC board members feel that it is important to encourage professionalism through the credentialing process, as do the board members of the Foundation for Professional Ergonomics. Please check the web for the latest AEC dates and location.

He gave me a printout I requested, and let me be on my way quickly with just the right amount of salesmanship. Haven't purchased, but I would expect the same level of professionalism in completing a sale.

The Easy Way In
Parshas Korach
Posted on June 8, 2010 (5770) By Rabbi Naftali Reich | Series: Legacy | Level: Beginner
How do you put down an insurrection? Sometimes, all it takes is calling their bluff. Moses had to face just such an insurrection in the Desert. Korach and his followers challenged the royal authority of Moses as the divinely ordained leader of the Jewish people and the right of Aaron to serve as the High Priest.
"All the people are holy," Korach and his followers declared. "Why do you place yourselves above them?" Surely, they contended, Hashem would want the power and the privilege spread about more equitably.
How did Moses respond? By challenging them to a test. On the morrow, Korach and each of his followers were to take a pan of incense and approach the Mishkan to perform the daily burning of the incense ritual. If Hashem accepted their offering, they would be vindicated. But if their claims were unjustified, they could expect to die. Sure enough, when the rebels brought the incense the next day, they were incinerated.
Why did Moses choose this particular ritual as a test of divine favor? The Midrash explains that the burning of the incense is the most exalted and important part of the divine service, and therefore, it is also the most devastating if its integrity is violated.
The commentators also discern another dimension in the choice of the burning of the incense as the test of divine favor. The rebels wanted to usurp the hereditary priesthood of Aaron because they felt they were equally qualified. And what were their qualifications? That they considered themselves as knowledgeable as Aaron about the intricacies of the temple service.
Therefore, Moses directed their attention to the burning of the incense. Although the production of the incense was an intricate and arcane process, the actual burning of the incense was very simple and straightforward, far simpler than the service of the animal sacrifices or the meal offerings. Clearly, Aaron's qualifications for this service were not any specialized knowledge or training. Rather, it was his many years of selfless dedication to Hashem, his transcendent spirit and his all-embracing love for the people that earned him the privilege of wearing the priestly vestments.
The service itself may have been easy, but getting to the required level of worthiness was not. It required a lifetime of effort. Unfortunately, the rebels had to learn the hard way that there is no easy way in.
A famous sage was traveling by wagon from town to town. In each place he stopped, crowds greeted him with great honor. Some people asked for his blessing, while others asked for his advice. The sage responded to each person kindly and quickly.
"I want to ask a favor," said the wagon driver once they were back on the road. "Never in all my life have I received honors such as you receive in each town we visit. Before the next town, could you change clothing and places with me? The people will think I am the sage, and they'll shower me with honors. I will give them blessings, and I will give them advice. For once in my life, I would like to experience that feeling."
"As you wish," said the sage.
They changed clothing and places, and sure enough, the people in the next town greeted the disguised wagon driver with adulation.
One man pushed through the crowd. "I need your advice desperately," he said to the sage, and he went on to describe his problem.
The wagon driver tried to think of an answer, but every solution only seemed to create more problems.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"This is really a very simple question," he said. "In fact, it is so simple even my wagon driver knows the answer. Why don't you ask him?"
In our own lives, we are often ready to criticize those in positions of leadership and authority, whether it be the rabbi, the school principal or anyone else in a similar position. From a distance, what they do may seem easy and uncomplicated, and we, of course, see with perfect clarity where they could use improvement. But appearances are deceiving. They spent many years preparing for those positions, and we are not qualified to second-guess everything they do. Better that we should turn that powerful lamp of scrutiny on ourselves and become the very best that we can possibly be. Text Copyright © 2010 by Rabbi Naftali Reich and Torah.org.

Demographics and Statistics
Faith Communities Today
Background to the Faith Communities Today Survey
In the spring of 2000, more than forty faith groups participated in the first Faith Communities Today (FACT) survey. This was the largest survey of congregations ever conducted, and was the most inclusive, denominationally sanctioned program of interfaith cooperation in United States' history. The participating faith groups developed a core questionnaire of more than 200 questions covering six areas of church life. 500 of our Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations (almost 50%) responded.
An interactive workbook provided the first opportunity for individuals and congregations from differing faith groups to compare their actual practices with those of differing faith traditions.
The Cooperative Congregational Studies Project (CCSP) was formed in 2003 to continue the cooperative approach to interfaith research into congregational life modeled by the 2000 FACT survey. In the spring of 2005, 16 of our congregations were randomly selected to be included in a national interfaith survey conducted by CCSP. For more information and analysis on church growth, from this interfaith survey in the United States, see the article by David A. Roozen, Director of the Cooperative Congregational Studies Project and Professor of Religion and Society at Hartford Seminary. Also see Facts on Growth by C. Kirk Hadaway, Director of Research at the Episcopal Church Center in New York.
In October of 2005, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) contracted with Calvin College to use the 2005 FACT questionnaire (PDF, 9 pages) to conduct a survey of all UUA congregations. The 2005 FACT survey was distributed electronically to all UU congregations for which we had valid email addresses and by regular mail for others. The FACT-2005 survey information (PDF, 36 pages) has been combined with data from the UUA Directory and responses to the FACT-2000 survey. To the extent that the FACT 2000 and 2005 survey questions were duplicated, we have longitudinal data regarding actual congregational practices. The UUA directory data allow us to make comparisons based on congregation size and growth/decline patterns.

Google is launching a new version of Chrome this week that lets users mute reminder ads and entire sites that auto-play videos, according to reports in The Verge and VentureBeat.
Users can silence ads in third-party apps and sites that use Google Ads, and once the website is muted, it won't automatically play sound on videos — and, by extension, video advertisements — until unmuted. Google plans to expand the feature to Gmail, YouTube and Google Search in the coming months.
Reminder ads can be muted in the Ad Settings dashboard by scrolling to the "Your Reminder Ads" section and clicking the X next to advertisers. Google ads can be muted for at least 90 days. To mute entire sites, users can right click on the tab and click "Mute Tab" to silence the site permanently. The feature replaces the previous mute feature that was temporary.
The new mute functions highlight Google's emphasis on improving the user experience in a broader strategy of putting more power in consumers' hands, while punishing advertisers that use annoying ad formats. Pop-up ads, auto-play video and flashing animated content were some of the ad formats that users rated as highly unacceptable in a Coalition for Better Ads survey released last spring when the company first announced the test of the feature.
Publishers and marketers may worry that Google could unfairly block their content, as some already view the company as having far too much clout over the digital advertising space. Though it may seem like a counterproductive move for Google, which still generates most of its revenue from advertising, the news signals that it and other digital platforms are putting a higher premium on improving the user experience in order to combat the factors that led to the rise in popularity of ad blockers in the first place.
The growing adoption of ad blocking software continues to have a considerable impact on all digital media players, but especially publishers, which receive no revenue for ads that are never seen. Ad blocking technology increased 16% in 2016 and was projected to cost U.S. publishers more than $15.8 billion in revenue in 2017, an OnAudience.com report found. Consumers cite obtrusiveness, disruption, annoyance and security concerns as reasons for adopting the blocking tools. It's important to note that the majority of research shows that consumers don't mind seeing ads altogether — they just don't want to be annoyed by them or have their online sessions disrupted by pop-ups and auto-play sounds.
Google has offered the "mute this ad" tool since 2012 to block irrelevant or offensive ads from popping up on users' screens. The latest updates will now let users mute ads across all devices where they're logged into their Google accounts. The new ability to mute reminder ads lets users silence ads they may have once been interested in, but no longer are.


THE long-awaited comeback by Wrexham striker Lee McEvilly lasted just 20 minutes yesterday afternoon when he limped out of a reserve team game against Carlisle United's second string.
THE long-awaited comeback by Wrexham striker Lee McEvilly lasted just 20 minutes yesterday afternoon when he limped out of a reserve team game against Carlisle United's second string.
McEvilly, sidelined since mid-December because of a broken bone in his foot, soon found himself in the wars at Buckley Town's Globe Way ground, although he scored the Dragons' opening goal in a 5-2 defeat.
But shortly after heading an equaliser, the 24-year-old target-man went down under a heavy challenge that left him nursing a deep gash in his knee and a bruised left foot - not the one that sustained the break.
Before going to hospital for a check-up to determine whether stitches were necessary, McEvilly said: "It's very disappointing because I've been itching to get back, but these things happen.
"One of their lads did me after the ball had gone, catching my knee and then stamping on my foot. It's annoying because I was beginning to enjoy myself, even though I'm not generally keen on playing reserve team football."
The new injury means McEvilly is almost certain to be unavailable for Sunday's Racecourse derby against Chester City, but he insisted it was not a major setback.
"I'm not convinced I even need stitches but, in any event, it's only going to be two or three days before I'm back in training," he added.
"I've been working really hard in the last week or so to try and build up my fitness.
"I need to play games now, but it was not worth risking anything else this afternoon and there's a few days to go before we start thinking about Chester.
"It was always going to be an outside chance that I'd be involved on Sunday because I haven't played for three months and now it looks as though I'll have to be patient for a little bit longer."
McEvilly's strike partner Jon Walters scored Wrexham's other goal yesterday, continuing his comeback from a fractured cheekbone, and after two appearances off the bench in the last week, should be involved again on Sunday.
The only major concern for Racecourse boss Denis Smith following Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Cheltenham Town centred on defender Dennis Lawrence, who was forced off during the first half with an ankle injury.
The extent of the problem will be assessed this morning, but physio Mel Pejic is optimistic about the Trinidad international's prospects.
"You can never tell with Dennis," he said.. "One day he looks pretty bad and the next he seems to make a speedy recovery. We will have to let it settle down and see how he is feeling over the next day or two."
Wrexham have issued a reminder that Sunday's noon kick-off is an all-ticket match to everyone other than season ticket-holders.
The club ticket office is open during normal hours until Friday and will also be open on Saturday between 10am and 1pm.
* FORMER Wrexham striker Jake Edwards yesterday signed for Chester on loan, while ex-Kidderminster wing-back Scott Stamps is also set to join.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City is home to one of the largest library systems in the nation, and soon all of its buildings will soon undergo major makeovers.
Starting Thursday night, you can share your ideas on how to fix them at a series of public meetings.
Each Mid-Continent Public Library branch will host a public meeting sometime over the next two months, giving the community an opportunity to share their thoughts on future renovations along with programs and hours.
Back in November, voters passed Prop L – a one-percent property tax increase that will give MCPL about ten million dollars more every year. The plan right now is to use that extra money to build six new or replacement libraries, renovate 28 other buildings, expand hours at every branch, expand the digital and physical book collections, and add more programming.
Instead of just doing what they think would be best, MCPL officials want to talk to library patrons to see what they want, what they think is needed to improve their library experience.
"Right now we see a lot of people coming in and using the library as a space, a place to connect, it's really a big center for people to come together and share ideas so we are learning what that looks like, we are always evolving, and we are very interested in finding out what the community has to say about that," Liberty branch manager Katie Gregory said.
There will be a total of 29 meetings over the next two months, with the first ones are Thursday at 7 p.m. The Buckner, Excelsior Springs, Grain Valley, Smithville and Woodneath Library center will all host meetings inside their buildings. You must register in advance – go to mymcpl.org to learn more.

Local infielder Jason Willow returning to HarbourCats
By Chris June 13, 2019 02:47pm

VICTORIA, B.C. — There will be a return engagement for Jason Willow with the Victoria HarbourCats.
The local infielder, 20, is coming off a successful sophomore season at UC-Santa Barbara, where he hit .267 with one home run and 20 RBIs for the Gauchos in 43 games played, also stealing five bases. Willow, 6-2/180, was a 24th round draft choice of the Baltimore Orioles in 2017.
Willow had a short stint with the HarbourCats in 2018 before suffering a finger injury that knocked him out for the season.
"We're very glad to have Jason back, he's a local player who is definitely capable of having an impact at the West Coast League level, which brings together some of the top NCAA players on the continent," said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner/GM of the HarbourCats. "Jason can play just about anywhere on the field, and he'll be a major addition to the options Todd Haney will have when he makes his lineups. Jason wanted to come back here and develop in our program, in our pro-like atmosphere at Wilson's Group Stadium at RAP.
"With where Jason's career is heading, this may likely be the last time people here will get to see him play in Victoria, so it gives yet another reason to come to the park."
A graduate of the Victoria Mariners and the BC Premier Baseball League, prior to UCSB, Willow was a standout on the Canadian Junior National team, where he was arguably the best player on the team that participated in the 2017 U18 World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario, hitting safely all nine of the team's games and leading Canada to a fourth place finish.
Willow is eligible to rejoin the HarbourCats on Monday, June 17, which will be Claire Eccles Jersey Retirement Night with Baseball B.C. Tickets are on sale for that game at https://www.ticketrocket.co/event/details/108669/victoria-harbourcats-vs-bend-elks or by calling the office at 778-265-0327.

Recent Unsettling Events by Andrea Stolowitz
" Stolowitz has masterfully brought the frantic climate of a campus in crisis onto the stage. RECENT UNSETTLING EVENTS tells an intensely timely story where every side comes forward with the best intentions. The ultimate destiny of the characters remains open for debate: Has political correctness run completely amok? Or is it time that our thought system is burned down and rebuilt? And what kind of collateral damage do we accept in the process? Taut structure and economical storytelling creates moments of great tension, fear, and ultimately hope. This play is a personification of a conversation that needs to be had. "
Fade to White by Scott Sickles
" Sickles' writing is like visiting a mysterious foreign country- Every texture and nuance is fascinating and all the more intriguing. In this story of two people trapped in a folly of youth that will forever define them, the atmosphere is both nostalgic and ominous, braided with the themes of regret and absolution. It also paints a picture of a time when a pupil with special needs was looked on in a manner that now feels so tragic. Kuddos for creating two great roles for senior actors. Such a real moment, I could listen to this pair reminisce for hours. "
110 STORIES by Sarah Tuft
" I had just wondered whether or not there was a play the truly captured 9/11, and then stumbled across "110 stories." Written in first person accounts, and sharing the structures of Moises Kaufman and Anna Devere Smith, Sarah Tuft has refined the horror of September 11th into a piece of verbatim theater and living artwork. She skillfully sidesteps melodrama and manipulation and lets the raw power of the story speak for itself. The stories range from the horror of Garret Fisher, to the heartfelt Karen Slade, to Elizabeth Gilbert's near perfect coda. This is a stirring and powerful tribute. "
