COVID-19 Cases Spike In SW Ohio, And Among Young Adults
By Alison Holm • Jun 25, 2020
Credit Ohio Department of Health
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine says the number of cases of COVID-19 in Ohio, which had been trending upward in the past week, took a sharp jump up in the past 24 hours, with 892 additional cases.
Even more worrisome the governor says, is that 60% of that increase is among younger people, age 20-49.
A large part of the increase is coming from the greater Cincinnati area; Hamilton and surrounding counties. Dr. Richard Lofgren, president and CEO of UC Health says there has been been a dramatic increase in the number of cases among the 20-29 age group there. Looking at the data, Lofgren says in April and May, the rate of cases among people in that age range was about 10%. In early June, it began to decline....
"... this is what we might expect to see if we start to increase the testing, because we would test more and more people that might not have symptoms. And therefore we'd expect that the percentage of people with a positive test would go down. And then you can see in the later part of June that it's actually gone back up. And actually, at this point in time, we're seeing about 14% of the tests in the age group come back positive for COVID."
Lofgren says research shows younger people tend to have fewer complications from COVID-19, and often have fewer symptoms. Which means they are more likely to be unwitting spreaders of the virus.
"We're concerned about the younger individuals in our community, particualrly those who might be infected and have no symptoms, who in turn might infect older individuals, or individuals who are at more risk for developing COVID."
Lofgren says it's too early to determine what might be causing the spike in that age group, but he repeated the governor's advice that wearing a mask, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining physical distance is still the best way to control the spread of the virus. Dewine says the state is paying very close attention to rates of infection in various counties.
"Where we're seeing problem areas, we're gonna work with local officials, and in conjunction with them make decisions on what else needs to be done."
Dewine has not required wearing masks in Ohio, but he is not ruling out the possiblity of mandatory masks in hotspots. State health officials say the large increase in positive cases doesn't seem to be connected to any one large even, but are more likely the result of multiple smaller gatherings. As of Thursday afternoon the Ohio Department of Health reported 47,651 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in Ohio, and 2,772 deaths.
Younger Adults Are Increasingly Testing Positive For The Coronavirus
By editor • Jun 19, 2020
As much of the country presses forward with reopening, a growing number of cities and states are finding that the coronavirus outbreak now has a foothold in a younger slice of the population, with people in their 20s and 30s accounting for a larger share of new coronavirus infections.
Officials See Spike In COVID-19 Cases In SW Ohio
By Ohio Public Radio • Jun 18, 2020
Governor Mike DeWine says the state as a whole has seen a steady decrease in cases of COVID-19.
Unlike Trump, DeWine Says COVID-19 Testing Crucial As Businesses Reopen
While President Trump has suggested slowing down COVID-19 testing, Ohio Governor DeWine says increased testing is one way of slowing the increase of COVID-19 cases as the economy begins to reopen.
Trump Administration Moving To Close Federally Funded COVID Testing Sites
By Vanessa Romo • Jun 25, 2020
The Trump administration is defending plans to close 13 federally run coronavirus testing sites in five states at the end of the month.
The testing sites are located in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey and Texas. They are the last of 41 federally operated testing sites.
Federal officials say the sites have been closing or transferring to state or local control because it's more efficient to run testing that way. In other instances they argue there are readily available testing sites nearby.
'None Of Us Have Ever Been Told To Slow Down On Testing,' Fauci Testifies To House
By Laurel Wamsley • Jun 23, 2020
At a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health and other federal officials said that no one had told them — including President Trump — to slow down testing for the coronavirus. The statements came after Trump has repeatedly said that more testing would lead to more infections being revealed.

Granicus govDelivery communication platform enables Lancashire Police to optimise recruitment for the force
Versatile communication tool provided by Granicus keeps potential applicants up to date and informed on job opportunities and application progress
November 2020: Granicus, a market-leading provider of digital solutions to the public sector, has announced that Lancashire Police has gone live with its govDelivery platform to support employee recruitment efforts.
The police force is using advanced features of govDelivery, a cloud-based, integrated communications platform designed by Granicus, to create job alerts that notify interested applicants of a range of available roles and target them via email with valuable, action-oriented information about working at the organisation. This technology will support all recruitment drives at Lancashire Police, which has been given the opportunity to employ hundreds of police officers along with other police staff roles, as part of the nationwide national police uplift programme.
The force aims to attract new talent using innovative techniques, including utilising the relationships neighbourhood officers have by sharing recruitment postcards featuring QR codes. When officers are speaking to someone in the community who they think would make a great addition to the force they can share the code, which takes the user to a hidden govDelivery sign-up page on the recruitment website. This page encourages the prospective candidate to input their details and access the email campaign about careers with Lancashire Police.
The govDelivery platform gives the force the opportunity to fully manage all of its communications from one place. Used by marketing and HR, it was chosen due to its ability to capture data that enables effective targeting of applicants with relevant information. This new capability represents an advance for Lancashire Police, as it was unable to offer tailored sign-up job alerts for potential applicants in the past.
The platform also keeps recent applicants engaged, as the process from filling in the application form to becoming a police officer can take up to 12 months. Through the platform, Lancashire Police can target these individuals with relevant information at each step of the way on their journey to joining the force.
Ian Roberts, Managing Director for Granicus UK, comments on the partnership with Lancashire Police: "We're really impressed with the creative ways Lancashire Police plans to use govDelivery; we feel it really highlights the versatility of the platform, and the range of bottleneck issues it can address at any type of organisation. The key with this implementation was the speed of it. Lancashire Police was up and running in under five months, even with the pandemic. The platform is easy to use and very intuitive and thanks to this it has already become integral to the recruitment process in a very short space of time."
Hayley Wallis, Recruitment Marketing Lead at Lancashire Police, adds:
"We saw the Granicus platform as a great opportunity to fully manage all of our communications, but we also chose it because it allows for strong use of visuals as well. The platform allows us to create engaging content, including striking visuals and video, which really brings a job advert to life. We've already had really great interaction rates – in fact we've had just over 7000 people sign up for job alerts since implementing Granicus."
Lancashire Police began implementing govDelivery in March of this year and it was complete and in full use by the force by August. It also plans to explore how widely the platform can support other areas of the organisation including internal communications across the 5000 strong workforce.
About Granicus

Nearly 300 public sector organisations and nearly 20 million citizen subscribers power an unmatched Subscriber Network that turns missions into quantifiable results.

The Top 50 Albums of 2016
Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl? Chaos erupts, set ablaze by fractures of noise and samples, warped beyond recognition. Flashes of coherency blind before you can make it out. A melody? A rhythm? Too normal – cut it short, distort it, manifest it in mayhem. Is there closure, a light at the end? No, but there are fireworks – a symbol of independence, the cannon of freedom, closing a frenzy of anti-liberation. Is it a glimmer of hope or a jaded dream of a realized impossibility? Arca sings, the first time in his career, of how aimlessly he walks. – Zach W.
Since their inception, Nails have had an unparalleled grip on the throats of the metal world. Nothing even comes close to their raw, dominating sound. It's a harsh fury that soundtracks the the gap between a violent life and a violent death. But for the first time, a target had formed, a victim of their anarchy. It isn't specific, just "you". A distinction between the ingroup and the outgroup. But through this divergence, a greater intensity forms through conceptual awareness. When pummeling blastbeats collide with dirty, chugging riffs, it's clear this aggression is meant for someone. It's a disgusting, visceral turn for Nails. But the payoff is enthralling; snarling phrases are spit in the face of the world. The 8 minute finale features a sense of doom and discord as the guitars wildly raze away. They have always followed their own path, now with others encroaching on their territory, Nails have provided a brutal response to those they deem unworthy: You Will Never Be One of Us. – T. Pennington
Kanye West's seventh full-length was the most stressful album rollout in recent memory. Seemingly birthed from stumbling blocks, The Life of Pablo was constructed out of empty promises, half-intended singles, and the public viewing of a musical demagogue slipping further and further away from sanity. Promised to be the Album of the Life, The Life of Pablo is resoundingly splintered; a haphazard train wreck of sounds and influences, of surface-level indulgence and emotional sincerity, of Godly benevolence and smiting hostility. But it works. In the narrative of Kanye West, a cataclysmic near-failure is, in retrospect, the best and most natural next step. – Zach W.
Wake up. Rather, hop out of bed, skip down the stairs in your zip-up flannel pajamas, and eat a big plate of waffles, bacon, and buttery scrambled eggs. Today's a big day, and that's wonderful. Truthfully, everything is wonderful. On Bonito Generation, the mundane is amazing – the amazing, spectacular. Anything can be transformed into a gleaming ball of color when gorgeously crafted by Kero Kero Bonito. Trying to figure out a song on the radio is transmogrified into a day's event. The overwhelming feeling of living in a big city doesn't exist, not when you take life in your own hands (things turn out alright). It all smears against your ears in a frenzy of vibrancy, like a kindergarten finger-painting. Everyone's trying to be smart with their music, always having the forward-thinking, ironic sentiments, but singer Sarah Midori Perry explains, "Sometimes if I think too hard/I forget that I'm a superstar". – Zach W.
There is nothing to say about this album. There are only facts. There are eight songs, recorded sometime between 2013 and 2016 with a portion of them being performed live. There is no art to represent the collection of songs. Many of the songs feature Terrace Martin producing dark, introspective jazz motifs that appear more than once. Many of the songs are unrelated, featuring only cosmetic similarities. Features include Jay Rock and CeeLo Green. There is very little here that should make it good. They're leftovers. They're b-sides. But for some reason, Kendrick Lamar turned it into a collection of exceptional songs that don't need a message or a narrative. These songs would function as filler for To Pimp A Butterfly, but here they exist without the need to piece together a bigger picture. There is no story about a kid growing up in a devilish environment. There is no story about maintaining identity in a system built to destroy it. There only exists these songs, high in quality, that cement Kendrick Lamar's talent as an artist. – T. Pennington
Fore is immediately gone. It was never really here. As far as I can tell, it exists only as one play-through on YouTube and Houndstooth's SoundCloud. 18+'s Bandcamp makes no mention of it, and their iTunes page only has one release – Collect. There's no physical release, no way to permanently hold onto the record, at least legally. For a group that's already so shrouded in mystery, this tape seemed destined to be unheard. But this undiscoverable nature took away any inclination to prove anything. 18+ was granted what so few artists are given: complete freedom to explore without a future expectation from an audience of fans and critics. In this way, Fore is post-music, a sort of freeform collage of piecemeal pop that purges the duo's inner-desires outwardly. By barely releasing what can only be described as their most experimental, blissful collection of tracks, they've at once preserved their underground presence while sharing it with those who were bound to find it anyways. Fore, in essence, confounds in ways its creators might not have even intended. – Zach W.
In Danny Brown's universe, the force that exerted the most pressure on his life has always been himself. The pressure to succeed critically, chisel a legacy beyond fame, and be remembered, is essential to him. He compared Old to Radiohead's Kid A, and with his fourth album, he titled it after the first song of Joy Division's final album Closer. These are brash comparisons, and it's finally taken a tole on his psyche and his work. Atrocity Exhibition is a splintered mind, bursting at the seams with maniacal flows and bizarre beat choices. The opening track tumbles into his demented ego, beginning a scorched path to success or Hell. Blaring post-punk influences oddly illuminate the tracklist, each feeling like a fraction that makes up Danny's persona. They're oddball, funny, paranoid, serious, irrational. No longer can Danny Brown make an album neatly separated at the halves; every song features a twisted grin in the face of a grim and horrifying reality. Even if self imposed, the pressure on this album is strong enough to craft a raving genius. – T. Pennington
Honor, while conceptually rooted in how society defines it, seems to be a staple of humanity. No matter where you look, it seems to be ubiquitous, no matter the time period or geography. Looking back, it's obvious that Ka has prided himself on his strict adherence to this philosophy. His philosophical austerity projects a worldview of being respected for his prowess when rhyming. But I would never have called Ka's music beautiful. It's gritty, hardened, almost silent. Honor Killed the Samurai is different. Paralleling his work as a simple man to that of a traditional samurai, Ka finds beauty, not nihilism, in fulfilling this role. Simple guitar melodies, chimes, and strings, appear and disappear. Ka's world was always deadly, but for the first time Ka seems to accept this, and channel this into a zen elegance. – T. Pennington
Ever since the conscious uncoupling of musical partners Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland, their directions have been strikingly different. Dean Blunt went into hazy narcissism. Inga Copeland has revised her persona into a cultural tourist. Gazing into the odd and often humorous output that is the urban sprawl of Europe, Live in Paris imbues an augmented reality to the complexities and experiences found in her travels. The clocktowers ring ad infinitum, walking through the street is like a game of monopoly. Except the all too real threat of imprisonment is pervasive. Synthetic devices strut and openly mock the tyrannical society. It's exuberant in its display of wonky electronica, self aware in the danger it's in, but able to relax in a much more stable fashion. – T. Pennington
Brood Ma – our maniacal maestro of militaristic glitch-beats. The unseen orchestrator of the game we're cast into. One of political aim? Of survival? Of pure digitalization? Irrelevant. What matters is the forecast of what's to come. No breaks. All adrenaline in DAZE, flying by in spazzed out shots of sweat-induced nausea and fear, the readying. Breathe it out, but the droning drones on. No breaks. A percussive rattle of imminent death; of looming destruction. What's real? Sacrifice yourself – for what? Is the moral high ground a greater substitute for life or is it more of the same? A part of the DAZE of it all. No time. End it. – Zach W.

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — What happens when Walmart opens up permanent veterinary clinics in its stores? That's the potentially game-changing question facing the U.S. pet market industry, according to market research firm Packaged Facts in the report Veterinary Services and Pet Product Retailing.
"The market for veterinary services has gotten a bit more competitive in recent months, with news that Walmart would open up permanent veterinary clinics in a handful of stores in 2018," comments David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts.
This move is part of the strategy of PetIQ, a manufacturer and distributor of pet medications that is trying to reposition its business as a veterinary services powerhouse. Less than six months after filing for its IPO, PetIQ acquired VIP Petcare in January 2018. Two months later, PetIQ announced that it would open 20 permanent clinics in Walmart stores in 2018, with 1,000 clinics planned in PetIQ's retail partners by 2023. This is in addition to the 2,000 retail locations in which VIP Petcare had 72,000 pop-up clinics in 2017. In fact, PetIQ cited data from Packaged Facts as one validation for entering this attractive market.


TOTALLY AGREE!!! This entire "situation" defies logic, preplanning, and good airmanship. What a waste of these fine young men's lives who were living a dream until some nut-cake of a pilot wannabe lost his ability to plan ahead!!!!!!!!!
I too was stationed at Kadena in 1968 ... only I was a BUF pilot. Our launches would come to a halt when it was time for a BB to launch. We all just sat there with our jaws dropped open. They would leave the hanger, blast off, and be at FL (who knows what) in a minute or two. All I could say is WOW!!!! Talk about BB envy, I've had it a long time.


On the walls of your 'living African' can not miss masks carved in ebony. Beside reserves space for tools or also from tribes. Another essential element to achieve this look are tribal textiles that mimic the skins of animals, of the Savannah and the African plain: leopards, zebras, giraffes … They will look more ethnic than pillows or rugs or curtains. The skins of these animals, real or not, are also an option to consider as carpet or simply to decorate the wall.
The colors to match that must prevail as African decor are all the range of browns. From the darker wood to the sand. But they should not miss small details in bright colors like red, orange or tile. Plant materials are also characteristic of African style, whether bamboo or wicker picture frames or baskets practices.

Avry's Sports Show
Wake Up Call With Avry's Sports Show
Yo, yo, yo, What's up? What's up? What's up? Wake up call with every sports show is back on a Monday morning.
You doing hope you're all doing fine.
Hope you all enjoy the big return of NFL football with Week One action on Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening.
A lot to get into on that in a and what is by far the most unique, bizarre football season of all time for a National Football League.
A season in which you had near every game in a close stadium in what you've had players openly and proudly talking and displaying their support for black lives pre game during the game. Postgame.
A season where legends are in new cities after spending 15 plus years elsewhere were team.
They're known for guys like Brady, Tom Brady, now Tampa Bay, Philip Rivers, now in Indianapolis.
If you If someone went to a coma in 20 in early 2019 and woke up on Sunday morning, they would have no what they you would have to spend literally eight hour explain to them.
Notice what not just what happened in the world, but eight hours.
Explain to them what's happening in football right now, because in a year so much has changed.
So dang much.
It's just wow.
Oh, my goodness, I hope you hope you enjoyed hope. You have fun watching.
I know I'm restaurants and bars were restaurants and bars in different cities were some somewhere open somewhere close but thing sports bars across North America.
The vibe felt muted because, of course, we're in a pandemic.
It's not same old, same old.
The idea of gathering a large group holler and cheer without fear.
It's gone for May.
For many that is gone.
So there was definitely a sense off.
Oh, it's muted, but we can't be how we used Thio.
I mean, I want I want to watch the one o'clock games being mountain time, the games at one o'clock where I am in Alberta.
So I went down to watch one o'clock games and watch the Packers have in Minnesota, and it really, really felt quiet.
You noticed the lack of people there.
You noticed there was some cheering, but it didn't feel like how it felt in years gone by.
I didn't feel like I was in 2018 2019 or 2017.
There's a lot more subdued.
Of course, facing was the biggest thing you saw in bars on not just in Canada, but all across the world where you were watching football.
So that was interesting.
I was really interesting to see, and we're getting some of the games as well.
E mentioned the Packers took down in Minnesota in a very convincing in A Given, which, Yeah, they put up 43 points on the Vikings, but they could have put up a lot Mawr in that first half in that second half.
Aaron Rodgers and want the Atoms.
That combination was on fire on Sunday afternoon, a big win on the road for the Packers and, once again, Aaron Rodgers showing, Yes, he's 36 but he still has a lot of football left in tank to liver in the NFC North.
I loved it.
I had a great time watching that in the New England and Miami New England 21 11 win as Cam Newton, the first week one block starting quarterback in Patriots history had a day, and I think I don't know about you, but to me, Cam looked pretty dog gone healthy.
I will if you don't like myself can look pretty healthy.
He looked good in that Patriots offense, which has been totally remodeled.
It has been totally revamped, a lot more running way more running for a quarterback than you ever saw in a Tom Brady style offense that Bill Belichick had.
Things were totally tailored to a mobile quarterback like Cam.
He had a rushing touchdown, that ball game, and again.
He said he looked healthy, you know, you know, before the season is done, these dudes come out here just like he will dress for a press conference like Patriot Pat.
You know he's gonna do it.
You know his boy's gonna do.
It s e funny to see the Cam Newton, England, area wardrobe because you know he's gonna go off.
You can't stop him, no matter what.
Marquees in numbers. Carolina.
No matter if it's the two or 200 touchdowns for Cam Newton and silly.
Michelle had another rushing touchdown in that ballgame, as can went 15 for 1955 yards passing.
The ball's kicked on the ground a lot more, but still doesn't matter.
New England still got the W in Miami.
That's a team that.
Wow, Brian Fitzpatrick.
He struggled.
He struggled mightily in that game.
Fits magic.
Looked like fits.
I don't know what I don't know what suffocates you wanna add on the end of fits.
But it wasn't magic, No theory.
Noah's Fitzpatrick in that loss when 24 30 191 yards passing and three interceptions.
That Miami offense looked all out of sorts.
And now you're seeing is only one week.
And, yeah, the original plan for the Dolphins was to lead to a took a viola sit and learn.
But if Miami can't win, if Miami looking down the barrel off.
Oh, and three or four.
But I think the two of time happens way sooner than then.
What the Dolphins would have wanted because all the man you want to have another year of struggle and pain and suffering in Florida.
I don't see him wanting that happening and gonna go to his lover.
192 is in the chat.
I don't think on South Florida dolphins have not been a good team for quite some time in the A F C East.
They have struggled to sustain competitive seasons back to back for a long time.
Lou.
The Dolphins seasons like they have not been a real friend FC in a very long time.
It's a brick wall of I know that.
Of course they did beat on the page a couple of years ago, but still, it's a matter of getting it done now in 2020 and we're still waiting for Dolphins to step up.
Once again, we really are.
Lots of Dolphins made.
The playoffs was 2016 when they went 10 and six, losing the wild card game at Pittsburgh, But they haven't had a while winning season since 2016.
They haven't won more than seven games since then, it's been a bunch has been six and 10 79 5 and 11 and that 10 win season that may be put together in 2016.
That was their 1st 10 win season since 2000 and eight, so they have had to 10 win seasons since 2000 and 2008.
That's bad.
That's horrific.
It's been a string.
Yeah, the string of 79 79 6 and 10 79 88886 and 10 10 66 and 10 79 5 and 11 a little sprinkling off excellence surrounded by mediocrity.
That is just bad, like they and the and the Dolphins having won the A F C East since 2000 and eight.
That was the year which Brady went down after the first game of the year.
We toward the C. L.
So Dolphins haven't Dolphins, Never one division against a healthy Tom Brady they never did the best ever did when he was healthy was finishing in second behind New England most of the time.
So if you're old school Dolphins fan, if you go back to the days off Dan Marino, Bob Greasy Oh, heck, even if you're a fan When it was Chad Pennington at quarterback, you had some hope.
You had some hope back then, if you're a Dolphins fan, but it's tough right now, so we'll see if we'll see what Bryan Flores does.
And we'll see how long it takes before he does pull the trigger on putting on bringing in Mr to a ton of Viola into the lineup under center.
We'll see, because I don't think you'll be very long.
I don't think you'll be long before the fans in the stadium will be.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The fans on TV and on Social Media will be screaming for two.
Uh, and eventually it's gonna happen, Not change.
Will definitely becoming very soon at risk.
NFL, Of course, we gotta address the fact that this was the first game, the first game for the new Look Washington football team.
Oh, I still find I still do find interesting that off all the names that they do a trademark.
And trust me, Washington had ton names, trademarks that you couldn't get one settled and done before the drama like Washington is known for a very long time.
The day was going to come where there is going to be a name and brand change.
Why have you not been working on that the entire time? So that when you say okay, we got to get our name change? Here's what I've done.
It's still don't have that settled yet.
So here you are.
You got Washington football team and they got a big come from behind win or Philadelphia to go.
Wanna know Dwayne Haskins? Hey, great ball game.
That was a team which I think people thought that the Eagles and just walk into Washington and J. W.
But that was not the case as Washington ballot back hard.
They got to Carson wins, who threw 200 exceptions.
And we Haskins Magic game.
Well, you know, didn't do any I in t s when 17 for 31 have touched on past himself.
He did enough to make sure they got the W in this ballgame and Terry McCloughan Terry McLaren had a great game receiving Stephen Sam's Logan Thomas.
Dontrelle Inman.
This is a game in which in which Hoskin got the ball around to his guys, put the ball in the hands with backs and the defense stepped up.
Once again, the defense are done.
But one day I got to mention with Washington football team is that I find it so odd how on NFL dot com other sites where you know you do have the the team name written down.
First, it's the city.
The city name and then bowled is usually where it would be the franchise name where the franchise nickname Why are we bolding football team for Washington? We know that's not, we know.
It's a placeholder name.
Why are we putting it in graphics or score lines, as if that's a little credit allotment, That's not.
I did say that if there was support that the name would be will remain Washington football team if people like that and it is not fun, introduced enough support for that.
But right now, as it stands, that's a placeholder name, and no one's going to just call them football team.
It's immediate thing that I find very weird being someone who's in the media.
I would just say Just call them Washington It's weird.
Just call them on a website football team because no one just call them football team.
Let's call them Washington.
If you're going to say who a team is facing and it wants to the full name of Washington football team, that makes sense.
But it s l dot com.
It looks weird seeing your jumping from the scoreline, where you have Eagles football team.
That's just the Washington.
So that's my little diatribe on that.
It's just really weird, Awkward.
You call him that.
But a 27 to 17 win at FedEx Field and you know what I like to? It happens a lot.
He's someone, I think, who can have a bright future as a starting quarterback.
And also to Alex Alex Smith well on the sidelines as the back up quarterback.
For all the struggles, Alex Smith has gone through all these surgeries, complications the infections in his right leg to see him back on a sideline, in uniforms and on an active roster for NFL football team.
You know what? Even if Alex Smith doesn't play again and he's just there to mentor Dwayne Haskins, you know what The fact that you still got this far is still a testament to his perseverance.
To not let they found image of him in the NFL beyond a field, writing in pain with a severely broken leg.
So keep all the respect in the world for coming back after that.
And Emily, Texas, he always joined us.
J I 678 here.
Like Laci core, 44 people are filing in watching this of your good morning afternoon.
Whatever it is, whatever time of day it is for you around the world here on SportsCastr life.
So I love doing this stuff.
I love coming down, chopping up with you every Monday every Friday morning as we go through the sports, Roby it football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, golf, whatever you want.
We continue down the NFL, talk as the look.
You want to get to the Las Vegas Raiders? Yeah, I still have to get used to sing the Las Vegas Raiders just knowing how how opposed the NFL Waas to anything. Vegas.
Just eight or nine years ago, the NFL wouldn't even let anyone in Vegas on advertising say, Super Bowl.
You could look it up there so opposed to any Vegas they wouldn't let using Super Bowl.
Then it fell.
Wouldn't let you say that if you were marketing anything in Nevada, it was it was revolting.
But now you have a franchise.
They're funny how there is a big about face to that city.
There is no more.
Ooh, evil Nevada.
Evil Vegas.
That's gone.
That is long gone.
The whole Oh, no, we can't go toe Vegas.
There might be game fixing.
Oh, no, We can't go in Nevada, but no yet.
Yeah, Vegas.
They gotta have the Raiders.
Now that brand new Allegiant Stadium, they're gonna at the end of the year, the Pro Bowl is gonna be in Vegas in 2022.
The draft is going to be in Vegas.
Everything NFL is not gonna be Nevada.
And in a few years, the Super Bowl is going to be in Vegas and Whoa, that's gonna be a time.
The Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Oh, my gosh.
Every Tom, **** and Harry in the world is going to try and find a way to get there.
Whatever that game happens at Allegiant, You know what? Your mama know? That your granny knows it.
That's gonna be a time.
But back to the action, Las Vegas gets a big road win against Carolina Panthers, 34 30 again in game, which I was truly a back and forth game back and forth.
Affair in which Jared Car at a great game.
22 for 30 22 to 39 yards passing.
Josh Jacobs.
Josh Jacobs had a ballgame.
25 carries, 93 yards on the ground and three touchdowns.
You know, out of the backfield, he is breaking out of that Vegas backfield.
He is going to be a true game breaking for that franchise and just not market alone, you know He's gonna be a star in that city and Teddy Bridgewater.
I feel good for him.
Take Bridgewater.
Someone who you know we don't Story.
Had his own traumatic knee injury backed up in New England.
Played a heck of a time when Drew Brees got hurt with a hand injury feeling for Drew Brees.
Had a great time with the interim started for New England, now getting his chance again to start in Carolina.
And even though he lost 24 34 270 yards, Carolina has a great young quarterback.
Still, he's still young.
He is still younger quarterback.
He is still someone who can find a way to win in Carolina.
And you still Christian McCaffrey in that Lina, 23 carries himself 96 yards rushing, two touchdowns.
It was a bottle of the backs in North North Carolina on Sunday.
If you have Panthers fan, I know it sucks to lose camp.
But again, you still got McCaffrey.
You got Bridgewater in that backfield.
You have Robby Anderson would 115 yards receiving on just six catches and a touchdown.
You know, Robby Anderson was feeling himself at White House for the Panthers last night.
The Carolina that NFC South It That was one where a young team like a Carolina can find a way, I think, to make some real noise against New Orleans against Atlanta against Tampa.
Three teams where I'm still like the door still wide open because it's still old. Man Drew.
It's still old man Brady, and Atlanta is a very shaky A lot of the team people are saying they're gonna be due to.
So Carolina Door right there is open for Carolina to make a charge at the vision if not for the division title, at least a wild card spot in expanded postseason.
You remember this year the playoffs are extending out to seven teams per conference at only one team now gets a bye Onley one now.
So if you're if you're no longer used to be, if you're a number one or number two seed in each conference, you gonna buy mm those either done.
Now if you are.
If you ain't number one, you gotta play wild card weekend.
Only one thing that by now our number one seeds and FC and the NFC making that number one had so much more meaning.
Now that is the importance off finishing the topic.
Conference means that much more because you are the only team in your conference getting to sit back and wait, so I'll be fun.
And then, of course, we gotta talk about we gotta bring it up When I met you gotta discuss it right now.
The battle that people want to see.
The game of the week on Fox, New Orleans and Tampa Brees versus Brady in his debut in red and pewter.
Well, right and run Brown, but or running right along.
They should be wearing Creamsicle orange.
People who know me the pack.
The Buccaneers should go back to buck up Bruce, but anyways, a gripe.
For a different time, a episode of We Could call anyway.
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers were in New Orleans.
And now the game in which you saw the names you saw the jokes Brady and Company looked average against the Saints.
Brady had a multi reception game.
Um, the accuracy was not there in that first game and again, given this brand new team first game, because there was no preseason use of things.
Everybody's bringing cold when it comes to game action.
New Orleans got a 34 23 win.
So you got a guy who was 43 coming into a brand new team and he's cold.
No, that's not gonna be a good look for you.
It's not gonna be a fun debut.
As Tom Brady learned the hard way in that game against the New Orleans Saints in the oldest could be matchup in NFL history.
I didn't think anything.
Anyone who ever passed the old matchup off far.
First test of ready back in 07 when you had a 38 year old bread five against a 44.
You're being tested Verdy when his green made Carolina, but we found a way to top it.
We found a way to get older than the infamous far test of Rudy Bowl.
We have Tom Brady in that game, 23 for 36 203 239 yards passing, but also with two interceptions.
Last year in in last year in New England, he had zero multi interception games, but against the Saints in Game one, he had to I m t s in week one as Drew Brees with 18 for 30 for two touchdowns in a very convincing New Orleans win.
And then, of course, also Rob Gronkowski.
He also made his debut after a one year retirement.
40 Buccaneers.
He had two catches, 47 yards total and no touchdowns.
He's targeted three times, and other guys who made a debut with the Buccaneers was Shawn McCoy.
Onda, alert for Nets were also in the ballgame.
Learned for Nets on.
Lee had five carries for five yards, and so McCoy one reception for two yards.
So the new guys in town, We're pretty quiet in that ballgame, but again, everybody's freaking cold.
Things are gonna change when teams get more reps when teams get used to each other in actual live game action.
So things will change definitely in Week two and we're out of here.
We'll talk to you on Friday morning about more topics, not just NFL.
We'll get into more stuff on Friday morning.
Anyways, I'm Avery and I am out of here.
Enjoy the week, Work hard, but not too hard.

Diabetes Prevention Program teaches healthy lifestyle changes
IHS Updates
by Dean M. Seyler, Director, Portland Area Indian Health Service
Yvonne Iverson, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, has a family history of diabetes and was diagnosed in 2000 with gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy, usually disappears upon delivery, and increases the mother's risk of developing diabetes later in life. Concerned that she was at risk for developing diabetes, Yvonne recently enrolled in the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) Diabetes Prevention Program at Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center.
Yvonne says that the SDPI Diabetes Prevention Program has helped her reach her goals. The program encouraged her to make healthier choices, stay on track, and try new foods. Some of the healthy changes that she has implemented in her lifestyle include exercising on a regular basis and making dietary changes, such as reducing sugary beverages.
Yvonne Iverson, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, participated in the Diabetes Prevention Program at Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center.
"I learned that pop and other sugary drinks are wasted calories, and have very little nutritional value for your body," Iverson said. She credits exercise and drinking water with helping her to maintain a healthy weight.
Nearly six months after completing the 16 week program, Yvonne remains actively involved with the program and continues to see her lifestyle coach. Yvonne's biggest success since joining the program has been reducing her LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) by 50 points. She has done this by watching what she eats and being more physically active.
Yvonne, who also works at the health center as a budget analyst, encourages others in the community to work with their health care team to reduce their risk for diabetes.
Diabetes is preventable. Studies have shown Exit Disclaimer: You Are Leaving www.ihs.gov that people at high risk for diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of the disease by losing 5 to 7 percent of their weight.
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent diabetes:
Be physically active for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week.
Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Ask about food assistance programs in your community to help you get nutritious foods for your family.
Talk to your health care team about programs in your community that you can work with to reach your health goals.
Dean M. Seyler, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, joined IHS in 1995. The Portland Area IHS serves more than 100,000 American Indians/Alaska Natives, primarily members of the 43 federally recognized Tribes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

Александр Павлович Волков (, с. Малые Соли, Некрасовский район, Ярославская обл — , г. Санкт-Петербург) — Герой Советского Союза, командир взвода автоматчиков 26-й гвардейской танковой бригады (2-й гвардейский танковый корпус, 11-я гвардейская армия, 3-й Белорусский фронт), гвардии лейтенант.

Биография

Родился 17 июля 1922 года в селе Малые Соли, ныне Некрасовского района Ярославской области, в семье крестьянина. Русский. Окончив семь классов, стал работать в колхозе, затем на ткацкой фабрике в городе Иваново.

В 1941 году был призван в Красную Армию. Участник Великой Отечественной войны. Особо отличился в боях за освобождение Белоруссии летом 1944 года.

26 июня 1944 года взвод автоматчиков лейтенанта Волкова во взаимодействии с танковым взводом овладел разъездом Погост (Оршанский район, Витебская область). В ходе боя было уничтожено 55 гитлеровцев и среди них три офицера и комендант станции, захвачено 2 эшелона с боеприпасами и продовольствием и эшелон с гражданским населением, угоняемым в Германию. Автоматчики вооружили освобождённых советских граждан и в течение 8 часов удерживали разъезд до подхода основных сил, отбив за это время шесть яростных атак.

На другой день, 27 июня, в ходе наступления у села Круглое (ныне город в Могилёвской области) автоматчики, действуя десантом на танках, перерезали шоссейную дорогу, по которой двигалась колонна немецких машин с военными грузами. В этой схватке погиб командир роты, и командование принял на себя Волков. Он умело организовал наступление на гитлеровцев и ротой уничтожил более 130 солдат и офицеров, захватив триста машин и 400 пленных. В этом бою Волков лично уничтожил несколько гитлеровцев.

30 июня взвод Волкова по подожжённому гитлеровцами мосту успел переправиться на правый берег реки Березина. Закрепившись на плацдарме, автоматчики сдерживали натиск превосходящих сил противника до поздней ночи, пока не подошли основные силы. С захватом плацдарма были созданы благоприятные условия для дальнейшего наступления на Минском и Вильнюсском направлениях.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 24 марта 1945 года за образцовое выполнение заданий командования и проявленные мужество и героизм в боях с немецко-фашистскими захватчиками гвардии лейтенанту Волкову Александру Павловичу присвоено звание Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина и медали «Золотая Звезда» (№ 5941).

Отважный офицер с боями дошёл до Победы. В 1945 году вступил в ВКП(б). После войны продолжил службу в армии. В 1966 году подполковник Волков уволен в запас. Жил и работал в Ленинграде. Умер 23 февраля 1979 года.

Награждён орденами Ленина, Красной Звезды, медалями.

The XOR function defines exclusive OR. The XOR function in Excel provides a different result for different states. When there are two statements and one of them is TRUE, XOR gives a TRUE. Again if both are TRUE, the outcome will be FALSE. If none of the statements is TRUE, XOR will be FALSE. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the XOR function in Excel.
This value is required. This value can be an expression, constant, or reference. This could be either FALSE or TRUE.
This value is optional. It can be a same expression, constant, or reference like Logical1.
Exclusive OR is used in programming. People use this in coding.
The main purpose of the XOR function is to apply exclusive OR. This formula returns only TRUE or FALSE.
The XOR function is based on the OR function. The value comes in TRUE or FALSE in different logic. For example, suppose there are two statements. The XOR will return TRUE if one of the logic is TRUE. But if both of them are TRUE, the result will not be the same.
The following data set contains some logical values. They are in column A and B.
We need to select cell C2.
Assign the formula =XOR (A2, B2) to cell C2.
Drag the formula from cells C2 to C6 using the fill handle in the bottom right to copy the formula to the entire column.
This will show the result of the exclusive OR in column C.
The outcomes of exclusive OR will be either TRUE or FALSE. There will be no other outcome.
This function does not consider blank references.
The values which are imputed in the function has to be logical. Otherwise, the outcome will show #VALUE!
XOR will only work in Excel 2013 and later versions.
When the TRUE logical has an odd number, XOR will return TRUE. Otherwise, it will will be FALSE.
Struggling with understanding the why and finding an example of an application for XOR in Excel with 3 or more conditions and why an odd number = true and an even number = false. There are plenty of explanations with two conditions and I get that but what I can't seem to find is anyone to say WHY it is true for an odd number and why false for an even when there are more than 2 conditions... HELP!!


WASHINGTON—Canada and the U.S. are still unable to resolve their NAFTA differences.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland was expected to leave Washington late on Thursday without an agreement. There was no set plan for additional meetings.
Leaving a three-hour meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Freeland said they had discussed "some tough issues." That language was a departure from her usual upbeat, if unspecific, post-meeting assessments.
The two governments have been sparring over the Chapter 19 system for resolving NAFTA disputes, which the U.S. wants to eliminate and Canada insists on keeping, and Canada's protectionism of its dairy industry, which the U.S. wants to loosen.
Another issue appeared to be the question of automotive tariffs. Canada has been seeking some sort of protection against the possibility that President Donald Trump would impose tariffs on Canadian-made cars and auto parts even after the two countries reached a deal on an updated North American Free Trade Agreement.
Trump has threatened to impose the auto tariffs only if a deal is not reached, but at present nothing stops him from changing his mind.
The U.S. has hinted that it might leave Canada behind on NAFTA as early as the end of the month, when Trump could theoretically submit to Congress the official text of a trade agreement with Mexico alone.
But it is far from clear whether Congress would either give final approval to such a deal or even declare that it is legal under U.S. trade law for Trump to proceed without Canada. And multiple supposed deadlines set by U.S. negotiators have been missed with no apparent consequences.
Freeland shrugged off a question about whether the two countries can meet the latest deadline, saying again that Canada is looking only to make a good deal.
Freeland will be in Montreal on Friday for a meeting of female foreign ministers, and she is expected to attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting next week. She said she is in regular touch with Lighthizer when they are not meeting in person.

Fifteen countries in West Africa have agreed to adopt a single currency next year called the eco. Experts are divided on the impact it would have on the region's economy, especially in the eight member states which use CFA franc - which is backed by France.
in Business, Economy, Featured, Government, Nation, People
Negotiations for the joint currency have been in the works for 30 years.
The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), the region's political and economic union, said the rollout will be gradual with countries meeting the laid-out criteria joining first.
Why does West Africa want a single currency?
Eight countries already use the CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro, and is guaranteed by France. The other seven have their own currencies, none of them freely convertible.
Proponents of the eco say the single currency will facilitate trade, lower transaction costs and facilitate payments amongst Ecowas' 385 million people.
However, critics worry that Nigeria, the region's biggest economy, will dominate monetary policy and stall the projected benefits.
Photo : BBC
For economists Ferdinand Backoup and Daniel Ndoye, a single currency would prove a valuable instrument in the international monetary system:
"West African countries – like most other developing countries – are not immune to monetary shocks caused by policies implemented in the rest of the world," the pair wrote in a briefing note for the African Development Bank.
A single currency can offer a chance, they say, to put up a "collective and effective front" against these disruptions.
About the ECO
To be launched 2020
Will be used by 15 Ecowas members
The exchange rate will be flexible
The monetary union will have a specific inflation rate as one of its central goals
Will it really happen next year?
It looks extremely unlikely that all 15 countries will meet this target.
The single currency was first planned to be introduced in 2003 but the launch has been postponed several times; in 2005, 2010 and 2014.
It is possible, although ambitious, that some countries will meet the current criteria for the 2020 deadline – the primary four being:
A budget deficit of not more than 3%
An average annual inflation rate of less than 10%
Central Bank financing of budget deficits should be no more than 10% of the previous year's tax revenue
Gross external reserves worth at least three months of imports must be available
These criteria, along with two other secondary ones, are due to be assessed by Ecowas by the end of 2019.
One of the problems is inconsistency: countries could, for example, meet the criteria next year, and then fall behind the following year.
In 2016, only one country, Liberia, met all the six conditions, and no single criterion was met by all the countries.
Economist Martial Belinga, author of Liberate Africa From Monetary Slavery, says 2020 is a symbolic goal.
"It's more about the process," he said. "Having a deadline pushes states to reach the criteria."
Mr Belinga says Ecowas might want to consider revising the entrance criteria, as long as they remain credible.
Ecowas has said adoption would be gradual though, so the countries that do meet the criteria can join, and the others can follow later.
Will it work?
If the goal is to boost trade, some analysts are sceptical that a single currency is key.
"We struggle in Nigeria alone to get produce from the north to Lagos, and to other southern parts where it can be consumed," said Sanyade Okoli, head of Alpha African Advisory.
"If goods can't move freely, how can we even talk about a single currency? she asked. "We need to address poor infrastructure, bureaucracy – the lower-hanging fruits first".
For Mr Belinga, the real impediment to trade in the region is not the lack of a single currency but that countries don't have much to trade.
"West African countries must transform their economies, with diversification and added value industries," he says.
"That's the real solution to face external shocks and volatility."
Currently, most countries rely on commodities whose prices are regulated on international markets.
For the economist, the single currency isn't "an end in itself".
What about sovereignty?
Although talk of a political federation has not dominated the latest discussions, critics point at pitfalls of running a joint currency without a political union.
Economists Ferdinand Bakoup and Daniel Ndoye say the commitment of regional leaders should allay such fears.
"The creation of a presidential task force to monitor the single currency creation process, headed by the heads of state of Ghana, Nigeria and Ivory Coast and the Committee of Central Bank governors, is a glaring illustration," they said.
"What now remains is to transform this commitment by accelerating the implementation of reforms to help achieve this objective".
But despite their will to move forward, many also fear losing part of their sovereignty.
"As Africa's largest economy and most populous country, we cannot afford to rush into such agreements without full and proper consultation with all stakeholders," said Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
The next Ecowas meeting in December is likely to whip up some of these concerns.
Won't it just be dominated by Nigeria?
Nigeria, whose oil-dependent economy accounts for two-thirds of the region's GDP, would dominate a future monetary union. Some economists have compared Nigeria to Germany's weight in the eurozone although Nigeria would be far more dominant in the eco.
For Ms Okoli, that could be problematic.
"We should have an honest conversation about how we feel about that," she says. "Germany had a measure of restraint coming out of World War II, but we don't have that in Nigeria," she said.
It is, however, less of problem and more of an opportunity, Mr Belinga argues.
"There's always a leader in a union and I think we should hope Nigeria will play that role positively. When you look at what they've done for their economy, I see that as a positive signal of good leadership".
"At the same time," he says, "Nigeria must see that this is an opportunity for them to access a massive market".
What about countries that use CFA franc?
Although some describe the CFA franc as a colonial relic, some analysts say that what's been driving growth in francophone countries like Ivory Coast has been high investment because of low interest rates which come from a stable currency guaranteed by France.
The Francophone countries might be hesitant to joining a union with countries that have much higher levels of inflation and interest rates.
But the appeal to cut colonial links and embrace the eco as an African project is strong.
"Even if it creates instability, that's normal," says Mr Belinga, "countries must disconnect from the franc", he adds.

Ex-Im vote holds peril for No. 2 House Republican McCarthy
By Scott Wong and Kevin Cirilli - 07/07/15 06:00 AM EDT
A possible House vote this month on whether to renew the Export-Import Bank carries big risks for Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
The California Republican has spent the past year positioning himself as an ardent foe of the bank, which finances overseas investments for U.S. companies.
In doing so, McCarthy has aligned himself ahead of a possible Speakership race next year with a growing faction of GOP conservatives who blast the bank as a blatant example of corporate welfare.
Killing off the bank would give McCarthy, the No. 2 House leader, something to bolster his conservative bona fides. The Ex-Im charter expired at the end of June, and its opponents have its headstone in their sights.
The problem is that Speaker John Boehner John Andrew BoehnerCan the GOP break its addiction to show biz? House conservatives plot to oust Liz Cheney Ex-Speaker Boehner after Capitol violence: 'The GOP must awaken' MORE (R-Ohio) has signaled he'll allow a vote on renewing the bank's charter later this month.
If McCarthy agrees to schedule it — and Ex-Im is resurrected by Democrats and pro-business Republicans — it could anger conservatives who already are distrustful of the genial Californian.
"There would be absolute frustration because it will be part of a bigger pattern that keeps recurring over and over: The American people are waiting to see the Republican Party lead on matters important to them and not Wall Street," said Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.), a Tea Party darling who upset then-Majority Leader Eric Cantor Eric Ivan CantorCan the GOP break its addiction to show biz? Leaving on a high note: Outgoing NRCC head looks to build on 2020 Overnight Defense: US sanctions NATO ally Turkey over Russian defense system | Veterans groups, top Democrats call for Wilkie's resignation | Gingrich, other Trump loyalists named to Pentagon board MORE in a GOP primary last year, clearing the way for McCarthy's rise.
"It expired," Brat added in an interview Monday, "So why in the world would you reauthorize something that would slap conservatives upside the head?"
Democrats and Chamber of Commerce-backed Republicans are banding together in a bid to resuscitate the bank, and they have an ally in Boehner John Andrew BoehnerCan the GOP break its addiction to show biz? House conservatives plot to oust Liz Cheney Ex-Speaker Boehner after Capitol violence: 'The GOP must awaken' MORE. He prefers a plan to "wind down" Ex-Im, and has warned about the "thousands of jobs" that might be lost if Congress does nothing.
The Senate this month is expected to approve a critical bipartisan highway and infrastructure bill that would include an extension of the Ex-Im charter. Because federal highway funding is set to expire at the end of the month, the measure is considered a must-pass bill.
The Speaker has promised House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) that he'd be able to offer amendments to strip the Ex-Im provision out. But it appears a combination of Democrats and pro-bank Republicans probably have the votes to defeat Hensarling's amendment.
That means the best way for opponents to kill the bank is to prevent the vote from ever happening.
It's no secret the controversial Ex-Im issue has McCarthy "constantly looking over his shoulder," said one senior House Republican aide.
McCarthy is the favorite to succeed Boehner when he decides to step down as Speaker. But leaders of the conservative House Freedom Caucus may try to make the race competitive, and Hensarling is seen as a possible challenger.
"The fight over Ex-Im is no longer just about policy, it's part of a larger battle between the current power structure and Hensarling," the GOP aide said. "There is already talk that a vote on a Hensarling measure to strip away reauthorization of the bank is a test vote for his future leadership run."
A former GOP aide said it makes sense for McCarthy, who once backed the bank, to oppose it so that he and Hensarling have the same position.
"McCarthy's change of tune certainly makes a lot of sense considering one of his most talked-about challengers for Speaker is chairman Hensarling. Walking lockstep with him on Ex-Im keeps Hensarling from having a wedge issue to tout against him in the future," the former aide said.
McCarthy was traveling on Monday and unavailable for comment. But when asked about whether the leader would bring up a Senate highway bill with an Ex-Im provision, an aide replied: "Leader McCarthy has two priorities: to make sure must-pass bills pass and to continue the fight against Ex-Im."
Publicly, McCarthy has talked tough about letting the bank expire. Providing such loans are a job for the private sector, not federal taxpayers, he said. McCarthy has even pointed to Ex-Im as a rare issue on which he and Boehner "disagree."
But GOP sources familiar with the Ex-Im debate insist there's not much daylight between the two top Republican leaders, and that's raised alarm bells for conservatives like Brat. McCarthy has been present for most of the Ex-Im discussions between Boehner and Hensarling, including several sit-down meetings, the sources said.
And both leaders have warned the chairman that his committee's failure to produce an Ex-Im bill has put the House at risk of being "jammed" by the Senate.
Cantor, McCarthy's predecessor, had been close to Wall Street and a staunch proponent of the Ex-Im Bank. In fact, Cantor had teamed up with Democratic House Whip Steny Hoyer of
Maryland to prevent the bank's charter from lapsing in 2012.
After Cantor's primary upset a year ago allowed McCarthy to rise to the No. 2 spot, McCarthy took to the Sunday news shows to announce his opposition to the bank, just days after his election as majority leader.
McCarthy had voted for Cantor's reauthorization bill in 2012, but aides said he did so because it included reform provisions that would start to wind down the bank.
As the GOP whip, the party's chief vote-counter, McCarthy had a good sense of where rank-and-file Republicans stood on policy issues, including Ex-Im.
McCarthy "astutely diagnosed" some of the past mistakes that Cantor had made, said Dan Holler of Heritage Action, a conservative group that has been whipping up opposition to Ex-Im. "He understood the conference dynamics on the terrible bills Cantor put on the floor."
But if Congress breathes new life into the bank, it will make his rhetoric seem "hollow and meaningless," Holler continued.
Hensarling has been adamant that the Ex-Im fight is just the first battle in a larger policy war. He said that the party's "focus needs to be on tomorrow's economy and on reforms that will give every American greater opportunities to succeed."
"Fundamental tax reform, tort reform and regulatory reform will do more to grow our economy and help small-business entrepreneurs than corporate welfare ever could — that must be our agenda," Hensarling said.

Portugal Futurista (in italiano Portogallo Futurista) è stata una rivista letteraria portoghese, della quale fu pubblicato un unico numero nel 1917.

Storia
Nel clima culturale e giovanile della prima generazione modernista portoghese, che due anni prima aveva partorito la rivista Orpheu (1915), nacque, sui tavoli dei caffè letterari di Lisbona come il Martinho da Arcada, un'altra pubblicazione periodica destinata a trasformare e influenzare profondamente la letteratura portoghese a partire dal XX secolo.

Si tratta di Portugal Futurista, della quale uscì un solo numero, nel 1917.

La rivista, ideata dal pittore Guilherme de Santa-Rita (noto come Santa-Rita Pintor), ambiva a collocare il Portogallo sulla mappa delle grandi espressioni futuriste europee e internazionali, sull'onda del movimento futurista fondato in Italia da Marinetti nel 1909. Proprio uno dei manifesti futuristi di Marinetti (Il Teatro di Varietà, 1913), tradotto in portoghese col titolo Music-Hall, fu ripubblicato su Portugal Futurista, quale tributo e sengo di appartenenza all'avanguardia futurista.

Assieme alla rivista O Heraldo, pubblicata a Faro, Portugal Futurista è la pubblicazione periodica più rappresentativa del Futurismo, e una delle più importanti del Modernismo, in Portogallo.

Autori
Il più prolifico fra i protagonisti di Portugal Futurista fu Almada Negreiros, che pubblicò sulla rivista ben cinque contributi, tra cui A Engomadeira e Ultimatum futurista ás gerações portuguezas do Seculo XX.

Fernando Pessoa partecipò con alcune poesie ortonime e con Ultimatum dell'eteronimo Álvaro de Campos.

Altri autori e artisti che presero parte alla rivista furono il compositore Ruy Coelho, il filosofo Raul Leal, lo scrittore José Rebelo de Bettencourt - con un saggio sul pittore Santa-Rita Pintor, principale ideatore dell'iniziativa, ma che non figura tra gli autori - e l'artista José Pacheko.

Direttore e fondatore della rivista fu l'artista Carlos Felipe Porfírio, mentre l'editore fu S. Ferreira.

Portugal Futurista ospitò anche brani e traduzioni di altri autori autori stranieri, oltre al menzionato Marinetti, tra i quali, per esempio, Guillaime Apollinaire e Valentine de Saint-Point.

HII guys!! Today's video is featuring one of my really good friends, lifestyle youtuber, Sam Ozkural! Sam does not only have an incredible youtube channel, but she's such a good human. She really inspires me, and I wanted to talk to her about a bunch of different diet tips, lifestyle how-to's, boyfriend advice, etc.
Welcome my MAMA, Denise Austin, to my channel! In this video we talk about how to encourage your loved ones to get fit, our family fit tips, and how a mother daughter workout could help your bond.


'I actually say I write books about adults or about young people. I think it's an important distinction. But in the young people's books I've never tried to use simpler language, simpler stories or simpler themes. I've written the book I would normally write, but with a young person at the centre of it.


AUTHOR OF "WHEN SANTIAGO FELL," "OFF FOR HAWAII,"
"YOU MUST BE MORE CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE," SAID COMMODORE DEWEY. "WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANY MEN JUST NOW."
"A Sailor Boy with Dewey," while a complete story in itself, forms the second volume of a line of works issued under the general title of the "Flag of Freedom Series."
In writing this tale of adventure I had in mind to acquaint our boys with something of the strange sights and scenes which come to light daily in Uncle Sam's new possessions in the far East, or far West, as you will. The Philippines are but little understood by the average reader, and if I have served to make the picture of them a little clearer my object will have been accomplished.
Some may argue that the adventures introduced in the volume are overdrawn, but I can assure all that the incidents are underdrawn rather than otherwise. Many savage and barbarous natives still inhabit the Philippines, and to bring these people to genuine civilization will take many years of patient labor and encouragement. In the past Spain had accomplished something, but not much; what our own nation will do remains still to be seen. Let us hope for the best.
Again thanking my young friends for the kindness with which they have perused my stories in the past, I place this book in their hands with my best wishes for their future welfare.

These records include images of the 1855 New York census for New York City's 17th Ward. While the amount of available information varies, you may be able to learn the following about your ancestor:
Relation to head of household
Race or color
The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYG&B) digitized the county originals of the 1855 New York State census enumeration for New York City's 17th Ward in Manhattan. These records have not been microfilmed or digitized elsewhere. The 1855 census records every name within enumerated households and provides the relationship to the head of household. Individual street addresses were not recorded, but each dwelling was assigned a unique number in order of visitation. A team of NYG&B volunteers transcribed all four books of the enumeration's population pages, indexing the names of more than 60,000 individuals. However, researchers are advised that several pages in book one were damaged and only partially legible. Other census pages listing marriages and industries and businesses were not indexed. In this browsable version of the census, you can filter your results by book and page number. A searchable version of these records is located in the Useful Links & Resources section. There you can search by several fields, including name, birth year, and occupation.
Located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Ward 17 was a densely populated area that attracted vast numbers of immigrants of diverse ethnic backgrounds, but especially German and Irish. The street boundaries of the ward (using 2015 street names) were, roughly: On the north by East 14th Street, on the east by Avenue B and part of Clinton Street; on the south by Rivington Street; and on the west by Bowery and a small part of Fourth Avenue.

This article provides a street index to the federal census of Ward 17 made 15 years after the state census. Because the 1855 census did not record street addresses, knowing what street names fell within Ward 17 might prove helpful to researchers.
