all against conference opposition -- with a dominating performance, scoring three goals in the opening 34 minutes to ease to victory.
Mark Chung gave the Quakes the lead after just two minutes, a neat one-two on the left leading to a perfect low cross from Brad Davis, and Chung swooped in to turn it home from close range.
Kelly Gray - the San Jose native in his Earthquakes debut after being acquired from the Chicago Fire - then doubled the lead when he finished off a big one-two with Ronald Cerritos, racing forward from his right back position to collect the return pass and clipping it home from inside the area (13).
Left back Wade Barrett then made it 3-0 with a similar goal, racing forward to collect the return ball on yet another long-distance give-and-go, acrobatically getting onto the end a Cerritos early cross hooked into the area (34).
Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear made one change to the team that played to a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center the previous Sunday. Kelly Gray made his Quakes debut, coming in at right back for Chris Aloisi.
Here's Kinnear's team (4-3-1-2): Pat Onstad - Kelly Gray, Danny Califf, Eddie Robinson, Wade Barrett - Mark Chung, Ricardo Clark, Brad Davis - Dwayne De Rosario - Ronald Cerritos (Brian Ching 82), Alejandro Moreno (Julian Nash 87)
"It was a dream start for us tonight. The guys came out with an aggressive approach and we created a number of great opportunities," Kinnear said. "We wanted to attack wide and I think that all three goals came from wing play, so I am pleased about that. Overall, I am just happy for the guy because we haven't scored a ton of goals."
TEAM NEWSBrian Ching made his first appearance since May 14, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute to a standing ovation. He suffered a right hamstring strain on that day in a scoreless draw with FC Dallas.
The day after his return to league action, he played 54 minutes in a reserve match against the Real reserves and said he ready to return to the first team. "It's 100 percent,'' he said. Before going with the injury, Ching led the Quakes with four goals.
Wide midfielder Brian Mullan should also be available this weekend, as he rejoined the team in training Monday. Mullan had been sidelined by a fractured left ankle.
Gray was living a dream in his return to San Jose. After undergoing some of the usual welcome hassles - securing tickets for family and friends and greeting well-wishers from his hometown - he hit the back of the net for the second San Jose goal.
"It has kind of been a dream come true. I wasn't happy there in Chicago, and I just couldn't have come to a better place. The guys have been so nice and welcoming, and it has been perfect, a dream come true," he said. " ... I came in here just trying to have a good performance in my debut. It just happened that Ronald [Cerritos] played me an unbelievable ball, and I was able to get a good touch and have a good shot. It continues the dream that I am in right now."
Both fullbacks - Gray and Wade Barrett scored remarkable goals, continuing give-and-goes that ranged over nearly half the field. "It was a great team performance. We looked really comfortable going forward and we were solid defensively. We need to keep playing like that and I think that we can expect good things this season." Said RSL coach John Ellinger: "When two outside backs score goals against you, you're not having a good game defensively," said Ellinger.
LOS ANGELES GALAXY
The Los Angeles Galaxy saw their road struggles continue on Wednesday night, conceding a second-half equalizer to Real Salt Lake - who had gone nearly 10 hours, an MLS record, without scoring a goal - in a 1-1 draw at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Galaxy are still in second place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 14 matches, six behind FC Dallas but still six ahead of third-place San Jose.
On the FieldTurf surface in Utah, the Galaxy sent out a relatively young lineup, and took just 17 minutes to open their account. Peter Vagenas played a long ball out of the back for Naldo da Conceicao to make a long run onto, and he powered his shot through the legs of RSL 'keeper D.J. Countess for his first MLS goal.
But after passing D.C. United record goalless mark of 536 minutes late in the first half, Real finally found the back of the net. Andy Williams collected the ball and found rookie Jamie Watson to his left, and the young striker hit home for his first professional goal (56). It was Real's first goal in 557 minutes.
"Both teams were a little desperate out there," said Galaxy forward Landon Donovan.
Galaxy boss Steve Sampson made two changes to the team that lost 1-0 to FC Dallas the previous weekend at the Cotton Bowl. Tyrone Marshall was suspended and Cobi Jones held out of the starting lineup, as Mubarike Chisoni was given his first MLS start in midfield with Michael Umaña moving to central defense, and Naldo da Conceicao also coming back into the team.
Here's Sampson's team (4-3-1-2): Kevin Hartman - Ugo Ihemelu, Pablo Chinchilla, Michael Umana, Todd Dunivant - Mubarike Chisoni (Paulo Nagamura 51), Peter Vagenas, Herculez Gomez (Cobi Jones 54) - Landon Donovan - Ednaldo da Conceicao, Jovan Kirovski
TEAM NEWSAfter scoring 18 goals in their first 10 games, the goals have started to dry up for the Galaxy, now with just two goals in their last four games. "I think it has a lot to do with our service," Sampson said. "I think we need to be a lot more precise. We're not putting the ball where it belongs. That was the case again tonight."
Because of the artificial surface and playing games in short order, Sampson kept veteran Cobi Jones out of the starting lineup. But he was very influential in the final half-hour. "Clearly, in the 35 minutes he played, he got in behind the defense three or four times," said Sampson. "All we needed was a little more timing."
The Galaxy continued to struggle away from Carson. They defeated Chivas USA earlier this year in what was considered a road match, in the match of the two Home Depot Center inhabitants. Not including that match, the last away victory for the Galaxy was a 1-0 victory at Soldier Field against the Chicago Fire on June 27, 2004.
Over that 13-game stretch, the Galaxy have lost eight games and scored just six goals on their travels. Steve Sampson has not won a game outside of southern California while in charge of the Galaxy, and since the start of 2003 (when the Home Depot Center opened), the Galaxy have won just three games (drawing 12) in 36 games outside of Carson.
"Maybe when we come out here we relax too much and maybe that's something we need to change," said Vagenas. "We know at home that if we don't get three points, we're getting booed off the field and that's a lot of pressure to play Saturdays at home. Everyone thinks it's easier to play at home, it's actually more difficult because of the pressures there at the Home Depot Center. We come on the road and maybe take a deep breath. Maybe I need to fly in 30,000 Los Angelenos to these other stadiums so we have that pressure."
Still, a draw is perhaps a step in the right direction. After getting shutout by the Rapids and FC Dallas, the Galaxy were able to get a point. Vagenas gives credit to the coaching staff who called their players out, questioning their effort. "Our coaching staff really got in our face for the first time all year," he said. "They challenged us, and we take that personally."
Next up is a trip to San Jose - the former home of Landon Donovan. Last weekend, when the Spartan Stadium public-address announced the upcoming match, the crowd booed. "For them to boo would be a disappointment (personally)," Donovan said. "But it's just people caring about their team, which is a good thing. Ten years ago, no one would have cared, but now they do. You'd like everyone to be nice, but I am realistic. I just hope there is some level of respect by people for what I did for the team."

Chasing after the Best Activity Camera Film
As the prominence of convenient cameras expands, the adaptability of these gadgets is becoming figured it out. In their beginning phases, these cameras were just connected with outrageous games like surfing, skiing, and skydiving. Customers are currently starting to comprehend that this innovation is able to do a lot more. One of the later patterns is to utilize activity cameras for outside amusement like hunting or fishing. These gadgets are great for such exercises in light of their sturdy, waterproof lodging. One of the issues that the cameras face is the measure of daylight openness they manage while recording outside. As the sun rests at high early afternoon, the camera is at more serious danger for taking on bright beams. Polarization channels are explicitly intended to chop down the measure of glare and cloudiness that one may manage while utilizing the activity cameras outside.
Research has additionally shown how the quality in film can be improved while hunting in, or near, different waterways. Wetlands, trades, and lakes all have the ability to reflect daylight. This repulsive glare can upset the video quality, so the expansion of a polarization channel helps with lessening this disturbance. Considering to be the activity cam hanh trinh xiaomi lodging gives insurance from water, this gadget is beginning to be utilized in more innovative ways. One viewpoint that is mind boggling to watch is the perspective on a canine on the chase. Once more, when these creatures are charging through swamps there is a generous measure of light that reflects from the water’s surface and there is space to refine this issue with the utilization of a polarization channel.
Probably the best thing about the outside is the stunning excellence that nature furnishes us with. Any open air fan can see the value in the landscape that they can be drenched in while doing their beloved movement. Regardless of whether it is fishing, climbing, or hunting there is in every case a lot of normal significance to observe. Polarization channels are intended to catch the dynamic shadings that nature brings to the table. These focal point augmentations diminish shading immersion that is found while shooting permitting the clear tones to be at their maximum capacity. Grand landscape ought to be seen in its normal structure without the concerns of having your picture becoming misshaped because of daylight.
Research shows that in a larger part of hunting cuts, the sound quality is exceptionally poor. Wind is a typical battle that a tracker might confront while shooting with a compact camera. Activity camera receivers are an extraordinary item for chopping down abundance wind commotion that numerous trackers are managing. Additionally, this item is great for intensifying the force of rounds being terminated. The enhancement of rifle discharge is diminished to part of what it seems like in reality.

Orbital Maneuvers with Minimum Consumption for a Spacecraft Orbiting the Earth
Antonio Fernando Bertachini de Almeida Prado, Leonardo Barbosa Torres dos Santos
The present research performs numerical studies to search for the best maneuvers, from the point of view of minimum fuel consumption, to modify the orbit of a spacecraft around the Earth. For those maneuvers, low thrust propulsion is used and optimal and sub-optimal maneuvers are considered. In this way, a continuous low thrust is applied to the spacecraft with a fixed magnitude and the control is based on choosing the direction of the propulsion and the instants of turning it on and off. Optimal control gives the best parameters, while sub-optimal control restricted the control to follow a pre-described function. The present research will compare those results.
keywords: Astrodynamics, Orbital maneuvers, optimal control, suboptimal control.

More than 56 groups have taken to the airwaves this summer telling Wisconsin citizens how to vote, and now it's down to the wire. The first recall election is Tuesday, where six Republicans senators will have their positions challenged.
The recall elections are a result of a movement of state citizens upset with what many have called Governor Scott Walker's radical efforts to limit the rights of workers in the state and the recently signed GOP budget, which included severe cuts to public education and safety-net programs. Citizens have pushed to have the Republican senators who voted for these measures removed from office. Two Democratic senators will also face recall on August 16th. The Democrats will have to win at least three Republican seats next week to take back control of the State Senate.
Spending in five of the nine recall elections has already broken records for what has previously been spent in a state senate race. Some 42 "political action committees" (PACS) and 14 "issue" ad groups have contributed to the election. PACS are required to disclose their campaign spending to the Government Accountability Board, while "issue" ad groups use tactics like avoiding the word "vote" in their ads to evade disclosure, even though the ads are run during the days and weeks before an election and often portray candidates in a negative way. The majority of the PACS who are players in the recall election are groups in support of Democrats, while the majority of "issue" ad groups are in support of Republicans.
Groups fighting to swing the state senate to the Wisconsin Democrats have spent significant amounts in these elections, in order to protect the rights of workers in the state and put a check on the policies of Walker. Many see the state as a battleground in a national fight to protect the middle class from suffering all the consequences of the nation's economic collapse.
"We Are Wisconsin" Leads in PAC Spending
The biggest single spender among PACS is We Are Wisconsin, a coalition of unions, which has spent over $9 million so far. Phil Neuenfeldt, president of the State AFL-CIO, is the committee's treasurer.
Kelly Steele of We Are Wisconsin, in an interview with CMD, said his group's decision to maintain transparency by registering as a PAC has disadvantaged them in some ways because their spending has been compared with undisclosed spending that is very difficult to track. A full total of the undisclosed spending by right-wing groups in the race may never be known.
One of the themes in the We Are Wisconsin ads is the idea that Wisconsin Republican legislators have "changed," attributing this transformation to Walker's extremism. A series of ads describe incumbent Republicans with phrases like "Alberta Darling used to be independent but now she is one of Scott Walker's closest allies" and "Sheila Harsdorf is just not on our side, not anymore."
"Progressive Change Campaign Committee" Uses Personal Narrative To Sway Voters
Progressives have also frequently cited the nearly $800 million cuts to public education included in Walker's bill. Many of the ads are montages of children on jungle gyms, or in public school classrooms. Some focus on telling Wisconsin voters what the cuts mean for their future and their children's future, like a 60-second ad by Progressive Change Campaign Committee PAC (PCCC), and Democracy for America, a new Wisconsin PAC formed by the Vermont-based national organization founded by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean.
The PCCC Recall Committee and PCCC Recall Fund IE combined have spent nearly $148,000 on the states recalls.
The ad is narrated by a Poy Sippi, Wisconsin resident. He criticizes incumbent Republican Senator Luther Olsen's vote for the enormous cuts to education pushed through by Walker, saying the consequence could be that the public elementary school his two children attend closes in the future. The man says Sen. Olsen "has consistently put big-money interests ahead of the middle class."
The group also sticks with the personal narrative strategy in a new ad featuring Eric Christiansen of Whitefish Bay and his family. Christiansen says that he has voted Republican in the past, including for incumbent Republican Senator Alberta Darling, but the tipping point for him to crossover to the Democrats was the cuts to education.
"EMILY's List" and "Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin" Take Different Approaches
Another key point the Democrats want Wisconsin voters to remember at the polls is that the Republican senators up for recall voted for $200 million in tax breaks for the super rich and corporations, while raising taxes on middle class families. One group highlighting the cozy relationships between the Republican candidates and corporations is EMILY's List, a national PAC devoted to campaigning for pro-choice Democratic women. Wisconsin WOMEN VOTE!, the state's independent expenditure arm of the national organization, has spent nearly $265,000 on the elections so far. The group has steered clear of a woman's right to choose in its recall advertising, focusing instead on the impact of the GOP's budget cuts on Wisconsin families.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, the advocacy arm of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, the state's largest reproductive health care provider, makes women's health the focus of its ads.
This ad targets Sen. Darling for voting to eliminate Planned Parenthood in the state -- ultimately closing down health centers and cutting access to life saving birth control, health exams and cancer screenings for Wisconsin women and their families, particularly those who have the least income.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin and the Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin Political Fund together have spent nearly $146,000.
"Greater Wisconsin Committee" Targets Polluters in "Issue" Ad
The Greater Wisconsin Committee PAC and Greater Wisconsin Political Independent Expenditure Fund together have spent some $1.72 million so far on the Wisconsin recalls. Their "issue" ad group, The Greater Wisconsin Committee, is not required to disclose its spending. Most of the funding reportedly comes from labor-related groups and other "Democratic ideological groups," according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. The group sponsored mailings in mid-July targeting incumbent Republican senators Robert Cowles and Dan Kapanke.
In their new ad, the group targets Sen. Olsen for voting against tightening regulations on water pollutants like cyanide and mercury.
State in "Uncharted Territory" with Campaign Spending
This unprecedented spending both for and against candidates facing recall is expected to hike as the candidates and special interest groups pull into the final stretch before Tuesday's election and the August 16th recall election for two Democratic senators that follows.
"We are off in the stratosphere," said Mike McCabe, executive director of Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonpartisan watchdog group that monitors campaign financing, told Reuters. "This is totally uncharted territory for us."

An Insight into Face Recognition for Events
Technology is a fast-developing field with a few inventions bordering on mind-blowing. The influence of technology is all around us, from the most basic daily tasks to trade and commerce, technology has transformed every possible aspect of life.
As for the events industry, it is no stranger to this technological development. Event technology has seen a major leap over the years with event tech tools being optimized and transformed with time. What began with basic tools for tasks such as data filing and registrations has now evolved into AI speakers, VR tools, holograms and more.
One such technology that has transformed event execution is the facial recognition system.
By definition, face recognition technology is,
“Facial recognition is a bio-metric software application capable of uniquely identifying or verifying a person by comparing and analyzing patterns based on the person’s facial contours. “
What began as an exclusive tech, meant mainly for security, made its way into the mainstream with Social Media platforms such as Facebook using face recognition to help people tag their pictures. The most recent example of the tech going mainstream is the iPhoneX. Users can unlock their phone using face recognition.
Coming back to the topic at hand, in this article, we shall be discussing the role of face recognition technology at events. There are a lot of ways in which planners can leverage the technology while planning multiple aspects of the event.
Here are a few ways in which face recognition can be handy during the event:
Face recognition can speed up the process of check-ins apart from making it more secure and precise. With events that have a huge number of attendees, such a tool can definitely help planners cut check-in time by a significant amount.
Face recognition software that integrates with event management software has already been introduced in the market and is experimented with by event professionals.
There have been many case studies recently where the process of check-in has been simplified and sped up using the face recognition technology. However, the tool is yet to enter the mainstream check-in app market.
This technology initially was developed indeed for this same purpose. If recent events are any proof, event planners have accepted event security as a major concern while planning.
Planners take every possible measure to ensure that their event runs smoothly with the venue being safe and secure for the attendees. Hence, what better way to strengthen security than facial recognition?
Face recognition at events is a good way to ensure event security. Pre-stored attendee data can help event security professionals detect any unusual activity, recognize tress-passers and take necessary security measures before any contingencies occur.
3. Audience Engagement
One of the facial recognition tools that helps event planners engage their audience is a software that allows them to map the mood of said audience. Event Profs can figure out what content they put out engages their audience, what their likes and dislikes really are.
Apart from this, the software can also be used for audience polling, knowing their genuine opinion on the poll questions.
A creative way to make the event more fun and engaging using facial recognition could be to set up photo booths that utilize the tech and create fun event pictures for your attendees. The tech has endless possibilities in terms of engaging your attendees. It’s best to brainstorm and utilize the tech to its best potential.

It’s funny how just something so small as a single thermostat can make for such a giant problem, then but that’s the way it was in our office for the longest time, our corporation owned an aged building as well as the two of us all worked on a single floor.
It was a pretty giant space as well as there were more than 60 of us working mainly in cubicles.
Of course, that aged building came with aged commercial Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C as well as just a single thermostat. It shouldn’t be too giant a surprise that a single thermostat setting isn’t going to please 60 some strange people. But most of us did our best to deal with this situation individually! For instance, there were plenty of us that brought in our own space gas heating systems during the winter, and the commercial Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C just never warmed up that space truly well, and during the summer, there were small fans on just about every deskâ€¦ Still, there were folks in our office who would literally get physical when it came to the thermostat setting. It was appreciate 2 strange camps warring against each other when it came to the thermostat setting, then honestly, it was crazy that it had gotten to that point. Finally, management upgraded the aged commercial Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C with the latest in Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment. But it was the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C technology upgrade that actually made the difference. Once the two of us got zone controlled Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C in the office, it signaled the end of any more thermostat confrontations. And I for a single was actually gleeful to have that sort of drama out of our work afternoon.

The lack of weekend bus service on two key routes serving the city’s poorest neighborhoods forces many residents to walk miles for medical care, medication and affordable groceries, said Third Ward Councilman Joseph L. Jerge at Monday’s City Council meeting. “Some of these people have only the transportation provided by buses to get where they need to go.”
Jerge was joined by all council members in asking the NFTA to add weekend service for routes 42 and 36. Route 42 operates between Route 5 and Odell Street and Ridge Road with stops at the Southgate Plaza. Route 36 operates between downtown Buffalo and Hamburg via South Park Avenue with a stop at McKinley Mall.
“We’re down to very limited bus service,” said Annette Iafallo, 2nd Ward councilwoman. “We have a lot of people in the 2nd Ward who have no cars. They depend on bus service to go to work and shop. No matter what they have to do, they walk.”

Until now, commercial hop (Humulus lupulus L.) production has not occurred in the northeast (NE) region of the United States for 150 years. A combination of the spread of hop downy mildew, the expansion of production in western states, and prohibition laws from the 1920’s contributed to the decline of the 19th century NE hop industry. Today, the Pacific Northwest states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho remain the dominant hop production sites of the U.S. However, hop production in non-traditional regions is growing and now accounts for over 2% of the total U.S. hop acreage. Nationally, there has been recent and unprecedented growth in the craft beer sector which has dramatically increased demand for local hop production.
This project looks to assess the impact of manure applications on soil health and hop yields and attempts to quantify the impact of organic amendments on soil health and hop essential oil and resin profiles. This trial used manure amendments in plots to compare manure application rate impact on soil health and microbial activity within plots. Many farmers in Vermont, and other dairy production regions, have access to manure as a soil amendment and nutrient source. Farmers have claimed that applying manure has aided in reducing disease pressure and improving soil quality, making this a potentially valuable resource that would be beneficial to some farmers.

Technology is unavoidable. Our smartphones, our wearable devices, our smart homes, our work. I cannot imagine an environment without technology unless I purposefully place myself in nature and disconnected from all devices. There are many benefits of the zillions of applications. I want to tell you all about some of the top software applications I leverage to help improve my productivity, and in turn, my quality of life.
Pretty much everyone uses Slack nowadays. I use it for real-time communication with my coworkers near and far. I also use it for random thoughts or plans I have that I cannot take action on right away. Slack is everything- it’s product management, it’s team building and strategy, it’s a diary for future goals. It’s a cute cat gif someone sends me. I cannot imagine working without Slack. Not to mention, Slack is a networking and learning opportunity. I have joined various Slack communities about coding, marketing, education, the list goes on. I can connect with people across the world in real time and share ideas!
Asana has such a gratifying user experience. I look forward to mapping out mundane tasks. The unicorn that dashes across the screen when a task is completed makes it all worth it. Asana is great for creating timelines, deliverables, and also keeping an entire team on track. It’s useful for personal todo’s, development roadmaps and sprint, design roadmaps, the list goes on. I still use it in addition to my planner I handwrite my notes in.
3. Google Drive
I still use Microsoft Word when creating a document (for example this article), since Google Docs adds unwanted web formatting to articles. However, I use Google Drive for everything. Computers nowadays are built to self-destruct. If I saved everything on my hard drive, I’d be hopeless. Thank goodness for Google Drive. (Pro tip: Google Drive integrates with Slack).
Calendly is an excellent tool that syncs with calendar systems to allow people to access your calendar in real time and to book calls with you when you are available. Calendly is crucial for managing my phone calls and making sure I never overbook myself.
5. Apple/Google Calendar
So I use Calendly in conjunction with my Apple/Google calendars. I sync my calendars across all devices and alternate universes via Apple and Google calendar. Thankfully, the Google and Apple calendars still get along and speak to one another! Although I do frequently find specific issues do not sync across Google/Apple. This could be user error. But then again, Apple and Google are always battling 🤓
There’s a lot of research that says multitasking is impossible. I try to avoid multitasking, but one thing I must do is have on music while I work. Not just any old radio station. I listen to blissful sonics of ambient and experimental music via brilliantly curated playlists on Mixcloud. I listen to specific DJ’s sets from the Lot Radio that are accessible after the live session on Mixcloud. Shoutout to Kroba, Sensoria, and FaltyDL.
Technically, I use this while I’m not working. However, Audible greatly empowers my productivity at work. It’s honestly depressing how long it’s been since I held a book in my hands and read it from cover to cover. I never read books anymore. Maybe I’m a workaholic, or maybe I just like streaming shows and movies too much. Regardless, via my Audible subscription, I am constantly reading (listening to) inspiring books that teach me how to improve my performance, my attention, my mindfulness, etc. Some of my recent favorites are *Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance* by Angela Duckworth, *Mind Hacking: How to Change Your Mind for Good in 21 Days* by Sir John Hargrave, and *Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Techniques for Retraining Your Brain* by Jason M. Satterfield, from The Great Courses (reading/listening to this is like attending a class). Audible keeps me sharp!
Everyone loves YouTube. One way I use it to improve my productivity is via Yoga With Adriene videos. Adriene is such a fun and talented teacher. She’s the kind of person everyone wants for a best friend. Or at least she seems that way via her free online classes that she provides. Her classes help me feel my best so I can do my best!
We use intercom as the front-facing chat portal on our website. Intercom is great! It allows prospects and customers alike to contact me and my team in real time. A lot of people dislike talking on the phone nowadays. Intercom streamlines communication. You can also send gifs, which is a guaranteed way to brighten someone’s day.
I once heard somebody say “Trello is a place where ideas go to die” and LOL’d because my usage of Trello has been very off-and-on throughout the years. Notwithstanding, it’s usage has proven to stand the test of time. I use Trello to catalog ideas or long-term goals. Thanks to Trello, I won’t ever forget an idea I had that might not be applicable for another 2 years. Trello is a place I plant seeds that may not route for another year or two. I have them ready to go for when I am able to work on them and provide them the love and attention they deserve.

He's, believe it or not, actually one of my favorite guys, and I've ended up trading him twice. I appreciate what he's done. He was one year away from being an unrestricted free agent, and I felt with this opportunity, that it was a chance that we were able to get somebody for him in Nick Bonino and Adam Clendening.

A DAY after the Centre pulled up the Punjab government for diluting the COVID-19 lockdown by opening bookshops and AC/cooler outlets, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday sought permission from the Centre to open the liquor vends in the state at a time when it was suffering major financial loss. Amarinder has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking a go-ahead, with the condition of social distancing, as the state’s revenue had sharply dipped amid the COVID-19 crisis and a curfew that would continue till May 3. The issue was raised by a few Cabinet ministers at the Cabinet sub-committee meet on finances chaired by the CM through video-conferencing. Ministers are learnt to have discussed that while liquor was being sold in black clandestinely by several liquor retailers, the government was suffering losses on account of excise collection.
“We told the CM that we should open the vends. We should ensure social distancing. Those people who are addicted to liquor have somehow managed to purchase it. Do you think they had stocks that could last a month? Then why should the government suffer financial loss? We can always follow social distancing. Queues should be marked outside the vends and buyers should be made to follow rules,” a minister told The Indian Express. Punjab has suffered losses to the tune of Rs 5,000 crore during the lockdown period. Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal has said that during the current fiscal year, Punjab’s deficit would be to the tune of Rs 22,000 crore. Every month, the state’s estimates of excise duty turn out to be over Rs 550 crore on sale of liquor. But due to the lockdown, the vends have been shut. “Our distilleries are functioning. There is labour inside. They are manufacturing sanitisers. The sanitisers are being supplied through transport. Then why can’t liquor be supplied too?” asked a minister. The CM, in his letter to Shah, has sought for sale of liquor to be allowed in a phased manner to mop up VAT and excise revenue. “The Ministry of Home, GoI, should allow the state to take a conscious decision to allow the sale of liquor in certain areas in a phased manner with strict social distancing and other measures to prevent COVID-19,” he said.
Capt seeks Rs 7,400-cr from Centre Pointing to an alarming resource gap between the state’s anticipated receipt and committed expenditure, the CM on Tuesday also sought interim compensation to the tune of Rs 3,000 crore for the month of April on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his letter to Shah, he also asked for expediting the release of the state’s GST arrears of Rs 4400 crore for the last four months, to help the state overcome its resource constraint.
Best of Express Premium
Amarinder said the Centre should compensate Punjab for its loss of revenue due to COVID-19. While the Rs 3,000 crore for April was an estimate, he said “detailed assessment of loss and requirement of funds for relief and rehabilitation will be submitted in due course”.
However, he stressed, “The Government of India should provide interim assistance so that the fight against COVID-19 is not allowed to weaken in any way.” Punjab, Amarinder said, was facing a huge strain on state exchequer on account of the required health and relief measures that are being continuously scaled up, “with hardly any revenue receipts accruing to the state during these days due to near complete shutdown of trade, business and industry”. The state government had made a provision of revenue receipts of Rs 3360 crore for April in the State Budget 2020-21. These included: GST- Rs 1322 crore; VAT on petroleum products – Rs 465 crore; state excise revenue – Rs 521 crore, motor vehicle tax – Rs 198 crore; electricity duty – Rs 243 crore, stamp duty – Rs 219 crore, and non-tax revenue – Rs 392 crore.
However, Amarinder observed that these receipts are expected to decline sharply as most economic activities in the state remain closed on account of the lockdown. The receipts on account of SGST, IGST, VAT, excise, stamp duty and motor vehicle taxes are almost negligible and the reduced electricity consumption has resulted in a drop of 60 per cent of the expected revenue from electricity duty during April 2020, he said. In addition, said the chief minister, the GST compensation of approximately Rs 4,400 crore for the last four months — from December, 2019 to March, 2020 — was also pending for disbursement by the Union government. On the other hand, he pointed out that the committed expenditure of the state i.e., debt servicing, pensions, salaries, relief measures for COVID-19, health care and infrastructure etc., is budgeted at Rs 7,301 crore for the month of April 2020, resulting in a huge resource gap between the anticipated receipts and committed expenditure. This, he said, would help the state immensely in its efforts to scale up the relief and healthcare measures and meet some, if not all, of its committed liabilities and other day-to-day expenses. The chief minister assured the home minister of the state’s full and continued support in the efforts of the Centre to overcome the present crisis.
Seeks 3-month special financial package
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amarinder suggested a three-pronged strategy to bail out the states from the COVID-19 crisis, including a 3-month special financial package and extension to the 15th Finance Commission till October 2021 for submission of its final report.
He the PM to ask the 15th Finance Commission to review its interim report for 2020-21 in the context of the much lower revenue share for the states compared with what was expected from the earlier projections which assumed 7 per cent growth of GDP. Noting that a zero growth scenario in GDP for India was not unlikely, he said that some analysts were projecting even negative growth. Given the likelihood of very low growth, which was expected to cause the revenue shortfall to last for the whole year, the CM requested Modi to direct the 15th Finance Commission to defer the submission of its full report to October, 2021, when they will be better able to make a realistic assessment of the likely growth of the economy over the next five years.
“Nothing would be worse than getting committed to a five year revenue sharing projection based on unrealistically high growth projections,” he warned, suggesting that the Finance Commission could make another interim report for 2021-22. “With the states continuing to shoulder their committed liabilities and facing new demands on relief, health infrastructure expenditure etc, it is only fair and just that the 15 Finance Commission should be requested to recommend a Special Covid-19 Revenue Grant for the year 2020-21,” Amarinder further said. In his letter, the Chief Minister sought an immediate 3-month special financial assistance package to enables states to handle the additional health related expenditure and basic relief expenditure, and suggested that the package should give the states maximum flexibility to design, implement and execute it in a manner that is customised to local problems and needs. The immediate 3-month package may be adjusted against the Special Covid-19 Revenue Grant, as proposed, he said.
State allows staff from private hospitals to be deputed in govt hospitals Punjab Chief Secretary Karan Avtar Singh on Tuesday directed the departments of health and family welfare and medical education and research to depute staff of any public and private authority or body in government hospitals and medical colleges.

The 2016-17 season will always be remembered as a historic one for North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks made their first NCAA Tournament in program history, but were significantly overmatched by a talented Arizona team, and fell to the Wildcats, 100-82.
North Dakota did come out of the gates strong, and even held a lead early in the first half. They hung around with Arizona through much of the half by keeping the deficit between eight and 12 points, but a late run by the Wildcats found the Fighting Hawks trailing 53-37 at the break.
In many cases, a team of North Dakota’s caliber would fail to close the gap on a team that has so many weapons like Arizona does. However, that wasn’t the case. The Fighting Hawks fought their way back, chipping away at the Arizona lead little by little. A Geno Crandall layup cut it single digits with just under 14 minutes to play. Just a minute later, North Dakota cut it to seven, and the Hawks had a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, Arizona extinguished that hope by holding North Dakota scoreless for nearly five minutes. They didn’t score again until it was 80-62, and by that point it was all but over. The Fighting Hawks fought until the end, but succumbed to the double-digit loss in the end.
In their tournament debut, North Dakota was led in scoring by Quinton Hooker, who poured in 25 points on the Wildcat defense. Drick Bernstine chipped in with 20 points of his own, while Geno Crandall and Corey Baldwin each had 12 in the losing effort.
Brian Jones and Co. will look to build upon this tournament birth next year in what will be their final year in the Big Sky before leaving for the Summit League. This year’s team finishes with a 22-10 record, which is the best in program history by a significant amount.

The word "heroin" is never actually said by any of the characters in the film.
Does he give you pills?
Sara Goldfarb: Of course he gives me pills. He's a doctor!
Harry Goldfarb: What kind of pills?
Sara Goldfarb: Uh, uh, a blue one, a purple one, an orange one...
Harry Goldfarb: I mean, like, what's in 'em.
(at around 15 mins, at around 23 mins) At two different times during the movie (when Marion, Harry and Tyrone are discussing the possibility of getting heroin from Brody, and when Harry is sitting around waiting for Tyrone to come back with Brody's heroin), records are supposedly playing, but the tone arms are in the 'up' position and the stylus is sitting above the record.
The opening credits each disappear as if being melted like heroin.

Looking to maintain their perfect run at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon take on Cape Verde at the Paul Biya Stadium on Monday.
Cameroon have already qualified for the last 16, while Cape Verde seek to join the host nation in the knockout stages with a positive result in Olembe.
Cameroon made it two wins from as many games following a 4-1 comeback victory over Ethiopia on Thursday.
Antonio Conceicao’s men found themselves behind in the early stages courtesy of Dawa Hotessa’s fourth-minute opener before two goals apiece from Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar turned the game on its head.
Since a 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast back in September, the Indomitable Lions have won six matches in a row by a combined score of 15-3.
An opportunity to keep the juggernaut rolling awaits against an opposing side who claimed a 3-1 victory in the most recent meeting between the teams.
Having successfully navigated the group stages already, the Central Africans can afford to approach Monday’s contest with a lot of pressure off their backs.
Meanwhile, off the back of an opening-day victory over Ethiopia, Cape Verde were beaten 1-0 by Burkina Faso in their second group fixture on Thursday.
The game was decided in the 39th minute when Hassane Bande scored to condemn Pedro Brito’s men to defeat.
That was their first defeat in six outings for the Blue Sharks since suffering a 2-1 loss at the hands of Nigeria in the World Cup qualifiers.
Currently sitting third in Group A, the Blue Sharks head into the final matchday with their destiny still in their own hands as they look to progress into the next phase of the tournament.
Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar Dias Vozinha returned to the starting eleven last time out after sitting out his side’s curtain-raiser, and the 35-year-old is expected to retain his place in goal.
There could be a change up front, as Julio Tavares looked to be in some discomfort against Burkina Faso, although he did manage to finish the match.
Cameroon’s Vincent Aboubakar followed up his brace on the opening weekend with another double against Ethiopia and currently tops the scoring charts.
Aboubakar’s strike partner Toko Ekambi also got in on the act in the aforementioned game, where he notched up his sixth and seventh international strikes. It awaits if the pair will be rested for the knockout phase.

New Delhi, December 05, 2014: Showing remarkable commitment towards ending the AIDS epidemic, the Mayor of East Delhi, Meenakshi Suryavanshi, underwent voluntary testing for HIV in a testing camp in her constituency. The testing was done using rapid whole blood finger prick test kits in a HIV counselling and testing camp at Bhajanpura, Ramlila Ground, Delhi (East). The Mayor extended her support to the cause and encouraged people from her constituency, especially young people and women, to receive counselling and testing for HIV.
The free HIV testing camp was organized by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) India Cares, one of the largest global AIDS organizations providing medical care to people living with HIV. The objective of the camp is to spread awareness around voluntary HIV testing, implementation of HIV/AIDS counseling and referral services to vulnerable populations in Delhi and the National Capital region. The event was a part of AHF’s Global 20×20 campaign to engage in a multi-state community testing programme across India.
Earlier, on World AIDS Day, 1 December 2014, the East Delhi Mayor joined city leaders in Paris, France, to sign the Paris Declaration to end the AIDS epidemic in their cities. In her remarks at the event, the East Delhi Mayor had expressed recognition of the need to strengthen a range of HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services, especially for women and children.
With the declaration, city leaders have committed to taking fast-track action towards achieving UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets: 90% of people living with HIV knowing their HIV status; 90% of people who know their HIV-positive status on antiretroviral treatment; and 90% of people on treatment with suppressed viral loads.
On World AIDS Day, UNAIDS also released a report on HIV in cities. The Cities Report outlines the important role urban areas will play in ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. The report includes a profile of 12 cities.
The UNAIDS Cities Report also features testimonies from community activists, health workers and public officials who have been at the forefront of the AIDS response in the world’s cities, including a profile of the Governor of Bangkok, Thailand.
Before the departure of the mayor to Paris, the UNAIDS Country Office organised an interaction for the Mayor of East Delhi with Social Activists working for the rights of people living with HIV.
The UNAIDS Country Director, Mr Oussama Tawil called upon the Mayor of Mumbai City, Ms Snehal Ambekar at Municipality Headquarters on 28 Nov 2014. The Leader of the House, Corporations, and others were present during the meeting. UNAIDS made a commitment to cooperate with Municipal Corporation of Mumbai to work on AIDS.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads and inspires the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. UNAIDS unites the efforts of 11 UN organizations—UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank—and works closely with global and national partners to maximize results for the AIDS response.

Is memory at the crux of popular culture? If it is right that, as Frederic Jameson (Antinomies of Postmodernism), Giorgio Agamben (Profanations) and countless others have suggested, recent culture is defined by a continuous present, by an inability to make new memories, it is also right that popular culture makes this failure its programme.
The topos of memory provides popular television, music, and film with a self-enclosed circuit of self-mythologisation, an easy access to powerful feelings of some ineffable horizon, deathly but safe, dazzled by time. Nowhere is the closed circuit of myth-making more obvious than in the Broadway musical, where broad spans of time and event are contained by a more-or-less successful schematic of action which pivots on the presentation, toying with, and finally re-interjection of the big number. This song encompasses the heart of the show at the level of symbolic economy, expresses the fall and rise of the love story necessary to most musicals of the Golden Age in three or four weighted minutes. Films that introduce actors alongside grabs from the action of the film at the credits, like those that tack a blooper reel at the end, toy with this same tension of automatic work-memory.
The inherent tragedy of the impossibility of making memories butting up against this desperate play for memory can produce great, sublime work. Is this not what hauntology, hypnagogic pop, and all the rest are about? The fuzzed, dissolving phantasmagoria of Broadcast, like their neon poetry lyrics, is a glorious musical staging of this tragedy. As Broadcast’s masterpiece, Tender Buttons, looks back through a never-eighties to the pathos-filled psychedelia of the United States of America and of post-Pet Sounds Brian Wilson, so Wilson looked back to a childhood then fragmenting in fading rainbow colours. Each artist looks with the eyes of others, searching for some truth, some stable ground of the Real.
I was put in mind of these things when watching an episode of the US Office. In the episode, Jim and Pam, two of the leads, finally get married. In doing so, their friends and family perform the famous JK Wedding Entrance Dance that received massive exposure on YouTube last year. The Dance involves various members of the congregation coming down the aisle in a tightly choreographed sequence set to Chris Brown’s ‘Forever’. The original clip, though sweet enough, had left me with a slightly unpleasant feeling, vaguely thinking about the desperate desire for validation and public exposure that characterises so much contemporary media, even when the participants are innocent contributors. Yet in the joyous retelling on the Office, the impossibility of use (in Agamben’s phrase, a phrase that gestures at the simulated aspect of so much discourse), becomes the source of a gorgeous nostalgia impossible to resist. Set implicitly to memories of Jim and Pam’s touching romance, and explicitly to memories of events untold, out of sequence, temporally fractured and therefore emotionally rich, where we see the two going off for their actual wedding, in secret, in order to counter what they knew would be the crassness of their friend’s celebrations, the re-ritualised dance pulls directly on the core of popular memoradelia. The music, a slice of mediocre autotuned electro-pop, becomes here a soaring modern torch song, glistened by the pall of lost time. The Wedding Episode is effective in its comedy and its form, but it is the strange geometries of memory and nostalgia called up by the staging of the JK Dance that set it apart as an apotheosis of its kind.
Popular culture is in a dreamcycle of self-lament, circling itself in beautiful, failing shadows of permanence. ‘High’ forms, classical models of art, of course mythologise no less the uncanny nature of time and memory, but the peculiarly synchronic memory formation of certain examples of popular culture seem singularly charged.

On 17th March, Sealy UK officially opened its new spring plant, in Aspatria, Cumbria.
Months in the making, the "world-class" facility enables the bedmaker to create a spring unit that is totally unique to Sealy.
Having been under new ownership for just over 18 months, Sealy UK drew on resources from its global owners, Sealy Australia and Sealy US, to develop the new facility. Sealy says the site in Aspatria is undergoing numerous changes to improve manufacturing efficiencies and support the Cumbrian workforce, tying in with a significant brand relaunch and new website.
Sealy celebrated the opening by inviting local dignitaries to the site: Mark Jenkinson (Workington’s Member of Parliament); Andrew Seekings (chief executive of Allerdale Borough Council); and Mike Johnson (leader of Allerdale Borough Council).
GM David Trimble says: “We used to have spring machines- now we have a spring plant.
"The event was a real ‘pinch-me’ moment for us. Thinking back to 2020 and the fact the site was facing closure, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come. The facility is truly world-class, and it’s something we can all feel extremely proud of at Sealy UK.
"Most importantly, it gives us conviction in our product, our people and our brand. It allows us to be different and better, delivering a product offer that is totally unique to Sealy Posturepedic. We hope this investment really instils confidence in the Sealy UK team, our suppliers, retail partners and the UK mattress industry.”
Sealy UK will showcase the new Sealy Posturepedic range at the January Furniture Show next month.

Sharper was arrested and booked Friday and released on $200,000 bail just before midnight, according to the LAPD. He faces a Feb. 14 court appearance.
LAPD said it is investigating Sharper in connection with two sexual assaults that occurred in October and earlier this month in the West Los Angeles area.
Sharper, 38, played 14 seasons in the NFL (1997-2010), mostly with Green Bay. He also played with Minnesota and New Orleans and retired after the 2010 season.
Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and a second with the Saints after the 2009 season.
He has been working as an analyst for the NFL Network.
"Darren has been suspended without pay until further notice, effective immediately," said Alex Riethmiller, spokesman for NFL Network, in an email Saturday.

England’s decision to wear nameless shirts during the second half of their international friendly against Belgium at Wembley Stadium has sparked widespread attention and commendation. This innovative initiative, aimed at raising awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, signifies a poignant gesture from the national team. As the players step onto the pitch after halftime, the names traditionally emblazoned on the back of their shirts will vanish, symbolizing the profound impact of dementia on individuals’ memories and identities.
The collaboration between the Football Association (FA) and the Alzheimer’s Society underscores the significance of using the platform of sports to address pressing societal issues. By leveraging the visibility and influence of football, England seeks to amplify the conversation surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and encourage proactive measures for early diagnosis and support.
Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder, not only affects individuals but also profoundly impacts their families and communities. The gradual loss of memory and cognitive function can strip away cherished moments and connections, underscoring the urgency of raising awareness and fostering understanding. Through initiatives like this, England aims to catalyze empathy and action, prompting fans to extend their support beyond the football pitch to those affected by dementia.
Kate Lee, CEO of the Alzheimer’s Society, articulated the broader goals of the partnership succinctly. Beyond merely raising funds for research, the initiative seeks to empower individuals to recognize the signs of Alzheimer’s disease and take proactive steps towards diagnosis and support. By urging fans to prioritize the well-being of their loved ones, the campaign embodies a message of compassion and solidarity.zzzz
The symbolic act of removing names from the players’ shirts serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges faced by those living with dementia. Just as the identities of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease can become obscured by the progression of the condition, the absence of names on the jerseys poignantly illustrates the gradual erosion of memory and selfhood. It is a reminder that behind every diagnosis lies a person deserving of understanding, dignity, and support.
Moreover, England’s initiative transcends the boundaries of sport, transcending the realm of competition to embrace a broader social responsibility. By using their platform to shine a spotlight on Alzheimer’s disease, the national team exemplifies the potential of athletes and sporting organizations to drive positive change and inspire collective action. In doing so, they challenge conventional notions of sports’ role in society, demonstrating its capacity to foster empathy, awareness, and social progress.
The decision to implement this awareness-raising campaign during a high-profile international fixture underscores the significance of the message being conveyed. As millions of viewers tune in to watch the match, England seizes a unique opportunity to engage a global audience in a conversation about dementia and the importance of early intervention. By harnessing the collective passion and attention surrounding football, the initiative amplifies its impact and resonates with audiences far beyond the confines of the stadium.
In essence, England’s adoption of nameless shirts represents a poignant fusion of sport and social advocacy, uniting athletes, fans, and communities in a shared commitment to address Alzheimer’s disease. It is a testament to the transformative power of sports as a catalyst for change, transcending the boundaries of the game to confront pressing societal challenges. As the players take to the field adorned in their symbolically blank jerseys, they carry with them a message of empathy, hope, and solidarity, reminding us all of the profound difference we can make when we stand together in support of those in need.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – After being independent last season, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits will once again be apart of a player development affiliation for the 2019-20 season.
“This a landmark day for our franchise. A year ago, we set out on a goal to find a regional NHL partner to build a relationship with who is committed to development at the AHL and the ECHL level,” said Swamp Rabbits President and CEO Steve Donner. “In partnering with the Hurricanes, we have found that partner for player development with a huge added bonus of marketing synergy in the Carolinas.”
One season ago, the Swamp Rabbits and ECHL rookie head coach Kevin Kerr were a team without an affiliation home after the New York Rangers moved from Greenville to Maine. The end result was Greenville finishing the 2018-19 season tied with Allen for the worst record in the league. Kerr looks to turn those fortunes around in 2019-20.
“This partnership with the Hurricanes is a great opportunity for both organizations to grow together. We’re looking forward to building on the Hurricanes’ success. Last year was a rebuilding year for our organization. This affiliation with Carolina is the perfect next step and a key piece towards becoming a top team in the South Division, and the ECHL.”
Earlier this spring, the Hurricanes and Florida Everblades ended their two-plus decade relationship, buoyed in large part because of Peter Karmanos’ ownership of both clubs. On May 24, the Everblades announced a new affiliation with the Nashville Predators, setting the stage for the new partnership to be announced.
With the new affiliation, the Swamp Rabbits will be paired with the defending Calder Cup Champion Charlotte Checkers and the surging Carolina Hurricanes.
“We are excited to begin a new ECHL partnership with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits,” said Carolina Hurricanes President and General Manager Don Waddell. “The affiliation makes competitive and geographic sense for us, and we look forward to working with Greenville to develop our prospects.”
