Over the years, a lot has been said by both the hockey media and fans alike when it comes to Vancouver Canucks’ goaltender Roberto Luongo not being a big-game goaltender.
Sure, Luongo came up huge for Team Canada last year in the Olympics when his team beat Team USA in overtime to win the Gold Medal. but as always, the fans and media questioned where it was during the most important time of the season, the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Fast forward a year later and Luongo has himself and the Canucks waiting to play in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 1994 when the Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs to advance to the Finals against the New York Rangers (you all know what happened there). This time, however, it is the Canucks who are the No.1 seed and the Canucks who are favored to win the Cup this season.
Luongo has been a big part of the Canucks’ progress this postseason. Sure, he’s allowed some soft goals but even Hall of Famer Patrick Roy did in his best day in the playoffs.
This postseason, Luongo has done his part to get the Canucks to the next level. Luongo is 8-5 with a 2.25 goals against average, a .917 save percentage and 3 shutouts. While the numbers may not look staggering, his play thus far cannot be overlooked.
Luongo has shown that he can bounce back from difficult starts or goals allowed and has also showed to be a bit more tougher, mentally. That mental toughness is going to be needed for the next round in a big way if Luongo wants to carry his club into the finals and be the first Canucks’ goaltender to do so since Kirk McLean.
The time is now for Luongo to show just how good he can be and prove to fans and media alike that he is worth every penny.
Is he destined for greatness? Only time will tell.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Monetate, the leading provider of testing and targeting, email optimization and personalization solutions, announced the launch of its latest global Ecommerce Quarterly report (EQ2 2014). The latest EQ uncovers the most dramatic changes in mobile commerce to date, with mobile traffic skyrocketing 120 percent over the past year, overtaking traffic from tablets. By comparison, tablet traffic grew by 35 percent and desktop traffic remained flat.
Download a free copy of the Monetate Ecommerce Quarterly (EQ2 2014)
While mobile traffic has increased, revenue driven by mobile transactions remains low. Monetate’s EQ2 shows that while mobile devices are now responsible for 16 percent of all ecommerce traffic, they continue to drive less than four percent of revenue. Moreover, a mobile customer’s visit to an ecommerce website has a 50 percent higher bounce rate, a 30 percent lower add-to-cart rate, and is 10 percent more likely to abandon cart.
However, there are indicators that revenue from mobile devices is on the rise. Once mobile customers are ‘ready to buy,’ they do it far faster than tablet or desktop customers (page views to purchase – mobile: 21.3; tablet: 35.4; desktop: 34.5). Mobile customers who navigate directly to ecommerce sites were more than twice as likely to complete a purchase than customers arriving from a search engine, and they were nearly three times more likely to convert than those who came through an advertising channel.
“Mobile commerce traffic is increasing dramatically as consumers become more comfortable shopping via mobile. It’s getting easier too, with increased screen sizes and mobile payment systems,” said Lucinda Duncalfe, CEO, Monetate. “But the low conversion rates imply that brands need to create more relevant, personalized mobile experiences to take advantage of the opportunity. Leaders will drive new revenue by delivering the right, personalized, experience for mobile consumers.”
In addition to ecommerce data, the EQ2 offers ‘takeaway’ advice for marketers and insight from thought leaders in the industry, including technology entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and Jay Henderson, Strategy Director, IBM ExperienceOne.
“It’s safe to say that 2014 is the breakout year for mobile – at least from an ecommerce standpoint – but to really capture the tremendous opportunity, companies will need to rethink their mobile strategies, starting with assessing the customer and the customer’s context,” said Jay Henderson, Strategy Director, IBM ExperienceOne, and contributor to Monetate’s EQ2 2014. “It’s a fairly complex process that involves reworking sites, using data to improve navigation and deepen connections, and personalizing the mobile presence.”
The EQ2 also captured data on the social mobile commerce landscape, finding that while social drives just .12 percent conversion with an average bounce rate of 61 percent, social mobile customers have the highest average order value ($106.12) of any mobile customer segment. Still, social mobile commerce lags far behind other channels.
The EQ analyzes a random sample of over 7 billion online shopping experiences using “same store” data across each calendar quarter. Averages throughout the EQ are calculated across the entire sample. Key performance indicators, such as average order value and conversion rate, will vary by industry/market type. These averages are published only to support the analysis in each release of the EQ, and are not intended to be benchmarks for any ecommerce business.

Conventional measuring methods require up to eight hours for determining the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric specific heat of a given material, and it takes three different, expensive instruments to do so. Now, though, the THB-10 (Transient Hot Bridge), a new device engineered by Pausch Messtechnik GmbH in Haan near Düsseldorf in cooperation with Germany’s national metrology institute PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), does the job much more quickly and cost-effectively. Now in serial production, the unit does all three measurements at once, and the results are usually available within a minute. Hence, the THB-10 makes it possible to perform serial measurements on slightly altered materials very quickly and at comparatively little expense and to reliably compare the findings – no matter whether the material in question is a solid, a powder, a gel, a paste or a liquid.
Advanced sensor ensures high measuring accuracy
The THB-10 comprises a printed-circuit foil sensor, a constant-current power pack and evaluation/user software. The prime component is its advanced, patented sensor consisting of a Wheatstone bridge on a special conductor path embedded in a temperature-stable foil. The bridge circuit ensures high measuring accuracy. For solid specimens of stone, glass or the like, the foil sensor is inserted and clamped in place between two specimens. For loose material of any kind, including sediment, the sensor is first mounted on a frame and then inserted into the material. For fluids, the foil can be shaped to form a cylinder and then filled with a sample of the fluid. The foil sensor has a measuring range of –40° C to 180° C.
Once the sample has been fitted with a foil sensor for mensuration, a defined electric current (selected to match the material in question) is applied. Then, special algorithms are used to calculate the material’s thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, as well as its volumetric specific heat (by derivation) on the basis of the resistors’ heat evolution, the amount of heat emitted to the specimen and the elapse length of time.
Easy preparation and operation for in-process measurements
The THB-10 requires minimal preparation and is quick and easy to use. User guidance is menu-driven in individual steps. As soon as the instrument is not being used correctly, a warning signal is emitted, and a message shows what went wrong. Laborious, time-consuming, error-prone reference and calibration measurements are now a thing of the past. The software control function automatically optimizes the measuring process, reduces the time expenditure and minimizes the level of uncertainty. Any remaining degree of uncertainty is unconfusingly documented. The readings are displayed with the optimal, required measuring current intensity and duration.
With all these advantages, the THB-10 is very well suited to the typical production environment and for use in small and medium-size companies. The price, too, is geared to the target group. The THB-10 has an introductory price of € 28 000. Comparable plate-base instruments that take several hours for a single measurement cost nearly twice as much.
For thermal conductivity, the instrument‘s measuring range extends from 0.02 to 100 W/mK. Depending on the particular sensor and material, its uncertainty level peaks at 3%*, and its reproducibility beats 0.5%. The thermal-diffusivity measuring range is 0.05 to 10 mm²/s,
with 6%* uncertainty and reproducibility to within 1.5%. The volumetric specific heat is calculated from the results of the thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurements.
The THB-10 is fitted with USB interfaces, an Ethernet connection and an RS232 serial interface and can connect to an IEEE-488 general purpose interface bus.

Stesimbrotos of Thasos
This article does not cite any sources. (May 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Stesimbrotos of Thasos (Ancient Greek: Στησίμβροτος; c. 470 BC – c. 420 BC), doubtless raised at Thasos, was a sophist, a rhapsode and logographer, a writer on history, and an opponent of Pericles and reputed author of a political pamphlet On Themistocles, Thucydides, and Pericles. Plutarch used writings by Stesimbrotos in his Life of Pericles, asserting that the coolness between Pericles and his son Xanthippos was due to Pericles seducing his daughter-in-law. Walter Burkert has suggested Stesimbrotos as the author of the Derveni papyrus (Burkert 1987:44, 58 n.6).

The NYPD is looking into a series of attacks on Jews in Brooklyn. At least one attack was caught on surveillance tape.
Some of the assaults may be part of a disturbing game, CBS 2’s John Slattery reported on Tuesday. Police have yet to connect all the incidents, but released surveillance video that shows one group attacking a Jewish man. The video shows from a few different angles the victim, a man in a hooded jacket, getting punched. One man who didn’t want to be identified told Slattery his 12-year-old son was attacked in the same way.
“It’s clearly anti-Semitism,” the man said. The 64-year-old said his son, who was dressed in traditional Jewish clothing, was attacked last Wednesday afternoon on President Street.
The child went to the ground as he heard the group of five to six teens yell out.
“A hysterical, happy shout, ‘We got him,’” the man said.
Video also shows a 19-year-old Jewish man being sucker-punched.
“He was actually holding an expensive camera. And they punched him and nothing was stolen,” Rabbi Yaacov Behrman said.
Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind said the attacks are not muggings. It’s not about money. He said the victims are being attacked because they are Jews.
Behrman said he believes the assaults are part of a disturbing game by some African-American teens.
“And they’re playing a game: ‘knockout.’ ‘Knock out the Jew,’ maybe. And they’re going around the neighborhood punching Jews,” Behrman said.

People should use electric blankets to reduce their energy bills a Conservative peer has said.
Baroness Rawlings, a former Government whip, said electric blankets, that can be used to preheat the bed or keep people warm as they sleep, offer a “simple, practical” way to reduce the cost of energy bills.
The advice comes as the government has announced complex reforms to green levies in a bid to bring down household bills by up to £50 a year.
The Big Six energy firms have confirmed that they will pass on the savings to customers pledging that prices will not increase prices until the end of 2014.
However Lady Rawlings argued the Government should consider electric blankets as a “simple” and “green” alternative to the complex negotiations with energy companies.
In the House of Lords, Lady Rawlings, 74, asked energy minister Baroness Verma: "Have the Government considered as a simple, practical measure encouraging people to use electric blankets?
"They are the answer to many of the Government's aims. They are very green as they use little electricity, and they reduce the need for so much heating in the home.
"They also make the home very energy efficient - ie, costing less - which is what the Government seems to have as an aim."
In October David Cameron suggested that people should follow similar practical advice and wear a jumper in their homes to keep warm and keep bills down.
Asked about whether people should "wrap up warm" and wear jumpers, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "Clearly, he is not going to prescribe the actions that individuals should take but if people are giving that advice that is something that people may wish to consider.”
Lady Verma, who was repeating Ed Davey, the Energy Secretary’s, statement on house hold bills to peers, said: "As with all measures what we need to do is ensure that people are kept warm and kept safe but also that they are not paying over the odds for energy."
She added: "So I think there are measures in the statement, measures we are already doing, that will help consumers reduce their bills."
A Downing Street source said No 10 had nothing to add to Lady Verma's response.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said due to Government’s changes the typical household would see "£50 coming off their energy bills" adding, "we're already seeing energy companies delivering on what we wanted them to do".
He added: ‘This help for people with energy bills is being achieved while we maintain and extend support for the fuel poor, while we continue to back green energy and by boosting energy efficiency.’
Labour has promised to freeze energy bills for 20 months if it wins the 2015 general election, complaining that ministers have not done enough to protect consumers.
Caroline Flint, Labour’s shadow energy minister said: ‘Whatever the Secretary of State says today, if we genuinely want to get people’s bills down, nothing less than a price freeze and action to stop the energy companies overcharging will do.

High chance of above-average rainfall for southeast Queensland until February
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 21, 2012
THE chances of southeast Queensland and eastern NSW receiving above median rainfall from next month to February are 60 per cent to 75 per cent.
National Climate Centre climatologist Andrew Watkins said the forecast for potentially wetter than average conditions was because it was the wettest time of year for the southeast and an expectation that moisture would be dragged across the continent by warmer Indian Ocean temperatures.
``It will be wetter than the last forecast period but even though it will be above median odds, it will be nothing like (La Nina years) 2010-11,'' Dr Watkins said.
Chances of a drought-bearing El Nino occurring had reduced over the past two months and the Pacific ocean had cooled to neutral levels.
It will be the first neutral summer since 2005-06.
Sea surface temperatures in the Indian ocean off the West Australian coast were the equal second warmest on record for October.
A warm Indian Ocean is associated with increased summer rainfall over eastern parts of the continent and large parts of WA.
It and a powerful La Nina were the major factors in floods last year and in 2010.

Increasingly, children are developing digestive problems that were once reserved for adults. Digestive problems such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and even inflammatory bowel diseases can result from a multitude of factors, but the underlying cause is often inappropriate eating habits.
This is the something that children can benefit from too. We know that behaviors are formed during childhood so it is very important to help children establish healthy heart habits while they are young. Our heart is a muscle that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; It deserves a little special attention.
You know you're a new parent when discussions about spit up, reflux, and the contents of baby's diaper become common dinnertime fodder! If you're a new mom or dad, worrying about your baby's digestive problems and health is more common than you think.
Often, summer break is when the children’s healthy eating plans take a vacation. So, as summer comes to an end and the school year nears, take time to refocus your efforts as a family to ensure your children’s nutrition and physical activity habits are ready for the year ahead.

What is Head Lice (Pediculosis Capitis)?
Head lice (pediculosis capitis) are a very common, itchy, highly contagious condition that often occurs in nurseries, day care centers, and schools. It is caused by infestation with the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis.
What is the life cycle of the head louse?
Who’s at risk?
What are the signs and symptoms?
Moving lice or non-moving nits may be seen on the scalp and hair. Each louse is approximately 1–2 mm long and is white-gray in color. The white nits are smaller (0.5 mm), are firmly attached to the hair shaft, and are usually located very close to the scalp. Small red bumps may be seen on the scalp, neck, and shoulders. Occasionally, the lymph nodes behind the ears or in the neck may be swollen. Head lice infestations are quite itchy.How can you take care?

New York (FORTUNE Magazine) � In late 1995, six months after Toyota decided to move forward with its revolutionary hybrid, the Prius, and two years before the car was supposed to go into production in Japan, the engineers working on the project had a problem. A big problem.
The first prototypes wouldn't start. "On the computer the hybrid power system worked very well," says Satoshi Ogiso, the team's chief power train engineer. "But simulation is different from seeing if the actual part can work." It took Ogiso and his team more than a month to fix the software and electrical problems that kept the Prius stationary. Then, when they finally got it started, the car motored only a few hundred yards down the test track before coming to a stop.
It's hard to imagine Toyota (Research), with its aura of invincibility, running into such trouble. But the story of how it brought the Prius to market -- a tale of technological potholes, impossible demands, and multiple miscalculations -- reveals how a great company can overcome huge obstacles to make the improbable seem inevitable. The gas-electric auto represents only a tiny fraction of the nine million cars and trucks the Japanese company will produce this year. But it is the first vehicle to provide a serious alternative to the internal combustion engine since the Stanley Steamer ran out of steam in 1924. It has become an automotive landmark: a car for the future, designed for a world of scarce oil and surplus greenhouse gases.

The possible effects of the study on the parental answers to the questionnaire should be minimal in the Malmo sample, as compared with the Lund sample (Blennow et al 1977) because the Malmo sample was not studied extensively in any other way, and the temperament study was not presented to the parent specifically as an evaluation of the possibly negative effects of VE on children’s characteristics.

Thermo Scientific Introduces New System for Effortless Ultra High Pressure LC-MS Proteomics Analysis at ASMS 2011
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., has announced the launch of a new split-free, nano-flow UHPLC system. The Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC 1000 is the newest addition to the EASY-nLC family of nano-LC products.
The EASY-nLC 1000 is unique in its ability to facilitate dedicated separation of biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, at ultra-high pressures.
The instrument is extremely easy to use and can seamlessly integrate with the complete range of Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry (MS) systems for instant, trouble-free operation.
The new instrument will be displayed for the first time in the Thermo Scientific hospitality suite at the Hyatt Regency in Centennial Ballroom D during the 59th Annual ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, from June 5-9 in Denver.
The Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC 1000 uses shorter gradients on 50 μm UHPLC columns with 1.9 μm beads, delivering superior separation capability with razor-sharp peaks.
As a result of its advanced design, the EASY-nLC 1000 facilitates as much as 30 percent more peptide and protein identifications by providing higher pressure ratings, along with independent and simultaneous variations of bead size and column length.
Increasing the number of identifications is a significant achievement for proteomic research and discovery purposes. The EASY-nLC 1000 operates on the Thermo Scientific Xcalibur software platform, easily connecting and interfacing with the full suite of Thermo Scientific LC-MS systems.
The higher operating pressure range of the EASY-nLC 1000 significantly shortens analytical cycles and is designed to increase productivity by accelerating sample loading and column re-equilibrations.
Additionally, the split-free, nano-flow capability of the new system provides excellent retention-time reproducibility (below 0.4 percent RSD), even for very complex samples. The simple integrated configuration is both easy-to-use and robust.
“We believe the EASY-nLC 1000 will be a market-leading instrument because it offers UHPLC performance that is dedicated to proteomics scientists,” said Andrew Altman, vice president and general manager of liquid chromatography, Thermo Fisher Scientific.
“This capability is complemented by exceptional ease of use, rapid operation and better separations in a highly robust instrument. The EASY-nLC 1000 will revolutionize the way LC-MS analyses are performed.”

Put ketchup on everything...again.
When was the last time YOU were excited about ketchup? We were thinking the same thing this past October as we sat around a basket of cajun tater tots. There was just something wholly unsatisfying about the ketchup we were mindlessly dunking those precious potato nuggets into. That conventional ketchup seemed flavorless compared to the incredible spices we had just enjoyed on a recent trip to China, and the consistency left something to be desired...to say the very least. But when it got down to it, we just weren’t even totally sure what we were dipping into. So we decided to make our own ketchup, with real organic ingredients and fun flavor combinations, and Red Duck Ketchup was born.
Hi, We’re Red Duck Ketchup.
Hailing from Eugene, Oregon, we’re four MBA students at the University of Oregon. When we came up with this idea to make flavored organic ketchup, we had no idea where it would take us. We discovered that ketchup is something we all love, but we’re bored with what’s out there. That’s about to change!
After testing over 20 recipes, we landed on three flavors:
Classic- Our classic flavor is a twist on traditional ketchup that marries a hint of sweet balsamic vinegar with a trace of smoky spices. We drew our inspiration for this recipe from the delectable heirloom tomato salads we enjoy every summer - delicious balsamic reductions, tomatoes, and the smoke of the grill in the background. It’s perfect on French fries, burgers, hot dogs, and meat loaf. But with this one, the sky is the limit.
Curry- You’ve never had ketchup like this before. Though Karen is the only person on our team who’s been to India, we’re all big curry fans and we’re even bigger fans of this curry ketchup. With this flavor, you’ll notice a peppery spice that’s calmed by the warm flavors that Indian food so masterfully blends. Put it on fish, stir-fry, roasted vegetables, or even mix it with plain rice. Trust us, it’s that good!
Spicy- This puppy has a kick. We take our proprietary Latin-infused spice blend (we call it the Latino Charmer) and combine it with a few other secret ingredients to complement some of the incredible Mexican flavors that Kurt grew up with near the border in San Diego. This is our most popular flavor, and we know you’ll soon be clamoring for another jar. We love to put our spicy flavor on sweet potato fries, fried chicken, veggie burgers, and even drizzled on top of cheese pizza. But we bet you have some great ideas too.
Our ketchup is different. This is why.
Flavor - We have three awesome flavors that are sure to please even the most discerning palate.
Consistency - Our ketchup isn’t something you just dab on; you pile it on! The consistency of our ketchup adds an incredible layer of texture to everything you put it on.
Organic ingredients - We didn't even want to work with stuff like high fructose corn syrup or stabilizers, so we just put in ingredients that are sourced as locally as possible and taste real.
Rest assured that all of our products are also:
- contain no high fructose corn syrup; and
- contain no artificial flavors or colors.
This is how we do it.
We currently handcraft every single jar of ketchup. It’s the Karen, Kurt, Shannon and Jess Show - we endure ketchup splatter burns and lovingly combine our proprietary spice blends for your enjoyment. We’re currently working out of a local commercial kitchen where we can only manufacture ten-gallon batches at a time. While that may sound like a lot, ten gallons barely even covers our webbed footprint here in Eugene. So we want to make the leap to a larger production facility that will increase our production batches to 50-75 gallons! That way, we can get our ketchup to the countless fans across the country banging down our doors for more. The sooner we get into a bigger facility, the sooner we get onto your plate.
We need your help!
With $20,000, we would be able to make that big jump from our local commercial kitchen to the Sweet Creek production facility down the road. Sweet Creek is a family-owned production facility that specializes in helping food businesses scale up their recipes while retaining the integrity of the flavor. Your contributions will mostly go towards the ingredients, bottles, lids, and packaging – it takes a lot of stuff to make three 50 gallon batches. The rest will go towards the apparel in the rewards section and shipping costs. Prepare yourself for some addictive ketchup, sweet swag, and lots of love!
Red Duck truly appreciates your time and contributions. Thanks!

Risks and challenges
There is a potential risk that the recipe will not scale up properly to 50 gallons. We've been mitigating this risk already by scaling up from 1 gallon batches and taking notes on the differences in flavor. We've gone from 1 gallon batches, to 5 gallon batches, to 10 gallon batches. Now it's time for the big move to 50 gallons, and we're confident nothing too funny will go on.
Scheduling time with the Sweet Creek facility could potentially take longer than expected. If this is the case, the project could get delayed for a few weeks or a month. Anything longer than that, and we'll find ourselves a new production facility.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

It looks like Mahindra has finally started the marketing campaign for the highly anticipated XUV700. The YouTube page of the XUV700 which hadn’t seen any activity as of late uploaded a short teaser that shows the “auto-booster headlamps” of the SUV. The video shows that the XUV700 would automatically turn on an extra set of lights if it’s dark and the speedometer crosses 80 km/h.
We don’t have the exact details about the ‘extra lights’ but this could be similar to the high beam assist seen in my luxury cars wherein the high beams are turn on and off automatically according to the conditions. This feature could work in conjunction with the heavily rumoured ADAS features which the SUV could offer.
The video also confirms in the end that the SUV will debut in 2021 itself. There are also rumours of the production to start by next month. There have been numerous XUV700 mules which are spotted all around the country and going by the recent spy pictures, the SUV looks closer to production spec. The Mahindra XUV700 will get 7 seats and AWD too will be offered as optional.
In terms of features, it could offer a large touchscreen infotainment system, fully digital instrument cluster, connected car technology, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, panoramic sunroof, electrically adjustable seats, ventilated seats, flush door handles and dual-zone climate control to name a few. Powertrain options for the SUV include engines derived from the Thar such as the 2.0-litre turbo petrol unit and 2.2-litre diesel unit. Except both the engines to come in the automatic and manual transmission guise and higher state of tune which could be around 170-190hp. The XUV700 is said to be a successor of the ageing XUV500 but Mahindra hasn’t commented whether the XUV700 will replace it or compete in a segment higher.
The hype around the XUV700 has been immense and everyone is eager to know more and more about the upcoming SUV from Mahindra. We expect them to release more teasers as time goes and we’ll surely be updating on it!

Dabbs was born into slavery, probably late in the 1840s, on the Charlotte County plantation of John Garnett. George Dabbs and Frankie Dabbs were his parents, but nothing else is known about his childhood, nor is it certain when or under what circumstances he became free. In Charlotte County on December 29, 1869, Dabbs married Sarah Ann Brown. Before her death on an unrecorded date after December 17, 1884, they had at least two sons.
In the census taken in August 1870 Dabbs was described as a twenty-one-year-old farm laborer who could neither read nor write. It is unclear how he first became involved in post–politics, but in October 1875 Radical Republicans in Charlotte County selected him as the party’s candidate for the House of Delegates in what the Charlotte Gazette described as a “somewhat excited and stormy discussion.” In the election the following month he received 1,283 votes while the incumbent and a third candidate tallied 630 and 261 ballots, respectively. As a member of the assembly that met in two sessions from December 1875 through March 1876 and then from December 1876 until April 1877, Dabbs served on the Committee on Labor and the Poor. He spoke little, but in January 1877 he introduced a bill to amend a sheep protection law in Charlotte, Clarke, and Frederick counties. Later that month, the resolution was dismissed.
At a meeting in October 1877 the county’s Radical Republicans, by one vote, rejected Dabbs in favor of another candidate to seek the House of Delegates seat. He continued to speak at county meetings, however, and to support party candidates. Dabbs aligned himself with the Readjuster faction of the Republican Party, which supported a partial repudiation of the state’s antebellum public debt. In November 1882 he dictated a letter to U.S. senatoraffirming his loyalty and service to the Readjusters, while requesting an appointment as a railway postal clerk for a young man in Charlotte County.
Dabbs canvassed Charlotte County in the weeks leading up to the November 1883 election. He stumped in nearly every precinct for the Readjuster candidate for the House of Delegates. Dabbs dictated another letter to Mahone in October informing him that the canvass was going well and predicting that party turnout at the polls would be substantial. Dabbs emphasized that he would continue his work until the election but informed Mahone that the candidate did not have the resources to pay him. He explained that his family required his support and they would suffer while he canvassed unless he could be paid from the campaign fund.
A civic leader in the black community, Dabbs served on the committee of arrangements in April 1896 for a gathering of African Americans discussing issues of citizenship as well as mental, moral, religious, and financial advancement. On March 30, 1898, he married twenty-one-year-old Sarah Catherine Howell in Charlotte County. No children are recorded from the marriage. Although he received little, if any, formal education, Dabbs may have learned to read and write by 1900, as reported by the census enumerator. By 1910 he and his wife had moved to Baltimore, where he worked as a brickyard laborer. Isaac Dabbs died on an unknown date after the census enumeration of his ward on April 27, 1910.

Theover the wall has shut down parts of the government for 18 days, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal employees without pay. Combined, they are losing $1.4 billion per week.
CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz spoke to one EPA employee in Kansas who left work last Monday not sure how her family will get by. Speaking as a private citizen and local union president, Sarah Waterston said money for her family will run out February 1. She is one of more than 13,000 EPA workers wondering how to pay their bills.
"It's my job, it's my livelihood. It's how I put food on the table for my children," Waterston said. "To have to go to your landlord and say 'I don't how I'm going to pay you.' I've never had to do that."
The former Marine now works as an office manager for the EPA in Kansas. The mother of two is the primary breadwinner for her family and received her last paycheck at the end of December.
"We're trying to cut the grocery bill just down to the necessities, I mean we don't live extravagantly so it's hard to cut out any bills," Waterston said.
She said her kids "absolutely" sense that something is going on.
"They want to know why there aren't certain foods in the house, they want to know why we can't go out to eat," she said.
In an effort to help furloughed federal workers, the office of personnel management provided sample letters that can be sent to creditors for employees struggling to pay their bills. According to the real estate website Zillow, unpaid federal workers will owe $438 million this month in mortgage and rent payments.
Asked if she thinks it's worth keeping the government shutdown to get funding for the wall, Waterston said: "I don't know that it's worth the livelihoods of people. I don't know that anything would be worth that."
The shutdown is affecting agencies across the U.S., but the three hit the hardest are Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Agriculture. Some EPA workers in Kansas said they fear projects that are put on hold too long could begin to endanger the public's health.

Deepika Mawar is awarded as “Best Poem Writer, Best Dancer or Best Teacher” by Magic Book of RecordMarch 18, 2021
DR. ARPITA CHATTERJEE awarded as “Best Innovative Researcher Award” by Magic Book of Record.March 19, 2021
Title of “India’s Best Classical and Folk Dancer” awarded to Miss Piuli Pati by Magic Book of Record on 12th March 2021.
Piuli Pati is best classical and folk dancer. She achieved so many awards in dances competition and folk dances.
I am Piuli Pati, a girl from a remote village named Baramohanpur, P.O. - Khakurda , in the district of Paschim Medinipur. Now I am a student of M.A 1st year and my subject is Bengali. But along with this, I am engaged as a dance teacher in Belda English Medium School. Since my childhood, my one and only dream was to find myself as a successful artist in dancing. She is my mother Nila Pati who has significant contribution in making my dream real. Without her sincere support I could not even start my journey with dancing. She too had the same dream for herself, but unfortunately, she hardly got any support from any family member. So, it is her true desire to provide me full support in keeping up my zeal in dancing and after all establishing me as a successful dancer. I did not get any support from my father, even my uncle and aunt disliked my dream. Only my mother constantly supports me and takes me forward facing so many obstacles even if when she is ill too. I started an institution named ‘Nataraj Nritya Prosikshan Kendra’ for teaching dance to the small children when I was reading in higher secondary level in 2011. The minimum amount of money I received as fees was spent for my own learning of dancing with some renowned Gurus. I believe one can become a good teacher of dancing if one tries to teach others her own learning. Very recently the name of my institution has been changed into ‘Nupur Dance Academy’ after my mother’s name. Even at present I learn dancing with Guru Kohinoor Sen Borat and Guru Sujoy Thakur for creative dance. I learn Bharatnatyam with Sri Sourav Chaterjee and Kathak with Smt. Suprabha Mohanty. But my first teacher of dancing was my mother and later I was taught dancing by Madhuri madam and Mr. Sandip Patra.
When I stood first in an All India Dance Competition securing 85% marks, I decided to move forward with Folk dance and Creative Dance and establish myself as a successful folk dancer. I have also a determination to make a creative dance of my own mingling folk dance, classical dance and creative dance and represent it even in different parts of the world. Being a girl of Medinipur, I have a dream that I would work on the traditional folk dance of Paschim Medinipur and present it to all so that I can illuminate the name of Medinipur, my own district and my state, West Bengal. This is also my dream to teach dancing by taking minimum amount to those who are underprivileged and could not get good opportunities like me, after I establish myself as a successful dancer. Thus I want to go forward with my dreams.

Murphy Introduces Legislation to Crack Down on Foreign Espionage in Colleges and Universities
Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, July 29, 2020, Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) introduced the Intelligence on Nefarious Foreign Leaders Using Education Networks for Corrupt Enrichment (INFLUENCE) Act. The legislation aims to limit the theft of intellectual property by foreign nationals at colleges and universities.
The Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property estimates foreign actors steal $300 billion in American intellectual property (IP) annually, which is equal to all U.S. exports to Asia. The Intellectual Property Commission estimates China is responsible for 70 percent of that theft – or $210 billion annually.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies compiled a list of 137 publicly reported cases of Chinese espionage seeking to acquire information from military, government, civilian and academic institutions. Some examples of these instance are listed below:
- In January 2020, the Chairman of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University was charged with aiding the People’s Republic of China.
- In August 2019, a Chinese academic who was a visiting professor at the University of Texas was arrested and charged with fraud for allegedly stealing technology from a California-based company and passing it to China.
- In June 2019, a Chinese scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles was convicted of shipping banned missile technology to his homeland.
- In January 2019, a Chinese student at Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology was charged with helping to recruit spies for his country's version of the CIA.
Existing law requires any gift or contract from a foreign source given to institutions of higher learning valued at $250,000 or more to be reported to the Department of Education. If passed, the INFLUENCE Act would lower that threshold to $50,000. The bill would also require schools to report to the Department of Education on the nature of any contracts with foreign nationals on sensitive projects. In addition, the measure would establish interagency coordination on the enforcement of any violations exposing U.S. national security projects, and the Secretary of Education would report on best practices moving forward regarding these types of breaches and how best to protect sensitive information. Enforcement mechanisms of the bill include civil action, revoking Title IV funding, and fines.
Murphy released the following statement:
“A quick google search will yield several examples of Chinese academics and students stealing IP from the U.S. Especially in light of recent Chinese efforts to steal a potential COVID-19 vaccine from the United States and the escalation of Chinese spying, the $250,000 figure has become too high a threshold for reporting gifts and contracts. Americans should have a better idea of how foreign countries are exercising influence and establishing a presence on American campuses,” said Murphy.
“Higher-education institutions have become a breeding ground for the Chinese spying campaign. Many of these so-called Chinese ‘students’ and ‘academics’ are more like operatives of espionage rather than peers and educators who contribute to our academic culture. Some have been clearly documented as members of the People’s Liberation Army.
“The Chinese government often pays much higher tuition rates than U.S. students making them an attractive source of income for colleges and universities. Their guaranteed income now is even more attractive given the challenges of the COVID crisis to academic budgets. That said we need our institutions of Higher Education to understand that Chinese Communist Party presence on their campuses is a clear risk to intellectual property theft. We need them to be part of the solution.
“I’m proud to introduce this legislation to hold not only Chinese spies accountable, but also colleges and universities who sometimes enable their activities. I hope my colleagues will support this important measure to protect American IP and sensitive information,” concluded Murphy.

(NEXSTAR) – With the highly transmissible omicron variant spreading across the globe, people who test positive for COVID-19 may be wondering which mutation of the virus they have.
The delta variant has been dominant ever since it was discovered in December of 2020, accounting for more than 99% of new COVID cases in the U.S. as of November, according to Yale Medicine, and causing a devastating spike in hospitalizations and deaths.

Scientists are now closely monitoring the spread of omicron, however, to determine its potential for causing severe illness and evading the protection of vaccines. As of Friday, the World Health Organization said there had been no documented deaths from omicron since it was identified in November by South African researchers.
So if you have COVID-19 and are wondering whether it’s omicron or delta, do tests show which variant you have? They do, but you won’t have access to them, unfortunately.
Results from a PCR or antigen test go on to labs at local health departments or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for genome sequencing. The process can take up to several weeks and helps public health officials track the spread and mutation of the coronavirus.
While you may not be able to get the lab test results, Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California San Francisco, said that early data show a distinct difference in the reported symptoms from omicron compared to delta.
“I think what was interesting is what people didn’t have,” Dr. Chin-Hong said of recent cases documented in South Africa. “They didn’t have loss of taste and smell, they didn’t have as much shortness of breath or serious cough … that’s what we know so far.”
He added that fever also hasn’t been talked about very much when it comes to omicron cases.
European health officials released a study earlier this month showing that half of the first 70 omicron patients studied had no symptoms at all, with the other half experiencing “very mild” symptoms, Chin-Hong said.
The reported symptoms are largely flu-or cold-like with headaches, muscle aches or fatigue.
So far, he adds, cases in the U.S. have also come with mild symptoms.
Chin-Hong cautioned that it’s still early days, however, and the variant may not have the same impact in the U.S. as it does in South Africa, where the population is younger and has fewer co-morbidities.
When it comes to recovering from either omicron or delta, he added, getting vaccinated is still the most effective way to prevent hospitalization and serious illness or death.

Trap Bar Deadlift
We love trap bar deadlift because it is an efficient and effective way to load a highly functional movement. Relative to the squat, deadlifting is a hip hinge versus a sitting movement. This is a similar movement pattern we use for bilateral jumping. We hinge down to load our hamstrings and glutes, stabilize our abdominal wall, and contract our hamstrings and glutes to pull our hips forward. Those are the same key muscle groups we utilize when when jump, the biggest difference is how we translate the upward force into our upper extremity. In a jump, you carry the force generated from your lower extremity into the air by throwing your arms up. In a deadlift, our upper body is focused on lifting the bar straight off the ground.
Setup for Trap Bar Deadlift
We agree with Joe Arko - deadlifting is our favorite exercise. It utilizes your glutes, hamstrings, abdominals, and upper extremity while developing functional strength for sport and daily life. In this video, Joe explains why deadlifts are a great exercise and how to setup for a deadlift using a hexagonal bar.
Basic Movement Requirements for Trap Bar Deadlift
Picking weight off the ground, like during a trap bar deadlift, seems fairly intuitive; however, it's important to position yourself and execute the movement well in order to utilize the correct muscle groups and prevent injury. Mike Boyle is a long-time mentor to AFA trainers and is considered the godfather of modern strength and conditioning. In this video, he explains how to program proper deadlifting movement patterns without having to do a real deadlift. In addition, he provides a few movement tests that can identify movement deficiencies. This is important because loading weight onto a deficiency can seriously increase the risk of injury and leads to poorer on-field performance. On the bright side, once a deficiency is identified, proper developmental movements can be prescribed.
Advanced Powerlifting Techniques (Crossover from Straight Bar Deadlift)
Lastly, here is a more advanced explainer video demonstrated by Dr. Layne Norton. He might be a bit more focused on beefing up than we would like our athletes and trainees to be, but he does provide a thorough explanation of sumo style deadlifting technique. We recommend this style for more hamstring focus because the bar bath should restrict your movement in such a way that encourages more deciplined lower extremity execution.
