No. 13 Houston was coming off of its first loss and the Cougars were close to making it two in a row with Tulsa driving in a tie game late in the fourth quarter on Saturday night.
It was then that Houston's defense responded with two huge plays to give the Cougars a 38-31 victory .
The game was tied at 31-31 when Emeke Egbule returned a fumble 24 yards for a touchdown with 1:21 remaining. Garrett Davis knocked the ball out of the hands of quarterback Dane Evans. Egbule scooped it up and dashed into the end zone for the score.
"I just knew I had to do something with it to keep us in the game," Egbule said.
Tulsa (4-2, 1-1 American) had a chance to tie it, but Jesse Brubaker was stopped just short of the goal line after a reception on the last play of the game to seal Houston's victory. The play was reviewed and upheld.
"He was really close ... I don't think you can get any closer than what it was," Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery said.
It was a close call for the Cougars (6-1, 3-1) a week after Navy beat them 46-40 after a 5-0 start.
"We got the taste out of our mouth," Houston coach Tom Herman said.
Tulsa never led, but had twice rallied from 14-point deficits to tie the game. The second time came whenJames Flanders scored on a 3-yard run with 3:31 left.
"This is one of those games that's tough to swallow," Montgomery said. "It really didn't feel like we lost the football game, it felt like we just ran out of time."
The Golden Hurricane forced a punt after that, but the fumble by Evans came two plays later.
Houston's Dillon Birden ran for 82 yards and three touchdowns playing in place of starter Duke Catalon, who missed his third straight game with a concussion.
Herman thought this game was another good reminder for his players that they can't take any team lightly.
"You're going to get their best shot. You've earned that," he said. "Everybody on your schedule is going to play you with their `A' game. We've got to understand that and understand that even when we're up 17-3 we can't take our foot off the gas."
TULSA: The Golden Hurricane ran out of late-game magic after overcoming a 31-point deficit, which was the largest in school history, to beat Fresno State 48-41 in double overtime two weeks ago before getting a 43-40 win over SMU in overtime last week.
HOUSTON: The Cougars need to start playing more like the team that beat Oklahoma instead of the mistake-prone team that lost to Navy last week and struggled this week to get into the conference title game.
HOUSTON: The Cougars could move up a couple of spots after No. 8 Wisconsin, No. 9 Tennessee and 12th-ranked Mississippi all lost on Saturday. However, some poll voters might penalize Houston for struggling against an unranked team.
ED'S EFFORT: Freshman defensive tackle Ed Oliver had another big game for the Cougars, piling up a season-high 12 tackles after finishing with 11 last week. He also batted down two passes to give him five for the season, had two tackles for losses and a quarterback hit.
TULSA: The Golden Hurricane host Tulane next Saturday.
HOUSTON: The Cougars visit SMU next Saturday.


OSWEGO – Debra Mullenax, director of the Oswego County Real Property Tax Service, reminds property owners that they have until Dec. 31 to apply for the School Tax Relief (STAR) property tax exemption.
“Homeowners can apply for free and those who need assistance may call or stop in our office for help,” said Mullenax.
The Real Property Tax Office will be open until 7 p.m. Nov. 25 and 26, to assist taxpayers in enrolling in the STAR program.
The office is located on the second floor of the County Office Building at 46 E. Bridge St., Oswego.
Visitors may also stop by anytime during regular office hours, weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., or call the office at 349-8315, for assistance.
“STAR exemptions are funded by New York State to help reduce the taxpayer’s school taxes on their primary residence,” said County Legislator Terry Wilbur, District 21, Hannibal, chairman of the Legislature’s Government, Courts and Consumer Affairs Committee.
As of mid-November, only 67 percent of Oswego County homeowners who were receiving the BASIC STAR exemption had registered with the Department of Taxation.
“To be eligible for the STAR program, the property must be the primary residence of the homeowner,” said Legislator Wilbur. “Despite that requirement, a Tax Department study last year found that thousands of owners of multiple properties were receiving multiple STAR exemptions. In order to eliminate duplication and fraud in the STAR Program, homeowners who are already receiving the basic STAR exemption are required to register with the New York State Tax Department this year. If you do not re-register your STAR exemption with the Department of Taxation, you will lose your exemption. The taxation department will send the assessor a list of those not registered and they will be removed.”
There are two types of STAR exemptions: Basic STAR for homeowners with incomes under $500,000 and Enhanced STAR for senior citizens with incomes in 2012 under $81,900.
A new homeowner who has never registered for the STAR program or who has moved to a new primary residence, needs to file a new STAR exemption form with their assessor.
The deadline to file for a new STAR exemption is March 1, 2014.
Seniors who receive the Enhanced STAR will still apply to their assessor.
Mullenax said that property owners should be wary of solicitations from firms who charge a fee to apply for the school tax exemption.
Governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced that some homeowners have received letters offering to enroll them in the STAR Program for a substantial fee, equivalent to the full amount of the taxpayer’s first year savings, which averages $700 statewide.
“New Yorkers should not be fooled: registration to the STAR program is free, convenient, and provides taxpayers with hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars in property tax relief each year,” Governor Cuomo said. “I encourage any homeowner not receiving a STAR exemption to apply on their own and avoid disingenuous schemes that seek to charge you for the tax relief that is rightfully yours.”
Homeowners may register online at www.tax.ny.gov, or register by phone by calling 518-457-2036.
Additional information and a link to the tax department website may be found on the Oswego County website at www.oswegocounty.com
The Legislature’s Government, Courts and Consumer Affairs Committee oversees the Real Property Tax Office.
In addition to Legislator Wilbur, members include legislators Jay Martino, vice chairman, District 6, Hastings; Shane Broadwell, District 17, Oswego; David Holst, District 4, Amboy; Jacob Mulcahey, District 15, Oswego; James Oldenburg, District 14, Oswego; and Milferd Potter, District 2, Orwell.
For more information, call the Real Property Tax Office weekdays at 349-8315.

KFC to send chicken sandwich to edge of space on balloon
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - KFC plans to make a space pioneer out of a chicken sandwich next week when it sends it to the edge of the atmosphere with the help of a high-altitude balloon.
The promotional stunt for the Zinger sandwich comes two months after the fast food chain unveiled Rob Lowe playing Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders in a space suit as part of an ad campaign. The ads promised to send the breaded chicken sandwich into space.
KFC is partnering with balloon maker World View on the project. The chain says the launch window opens June 21 for what it says is the longest controlled stratospheric balloon flight with a commercial payload in history. The sandwich will return to earth and bring back telemetry data.

- Eliminates menopause/period symptoms Review by Sitara
This is a fantastic product. I find it regulates/eliminates irregular bleeding and drawn out periods which I think are part of (pre-) menopause at age 50. It also gets rid of edema/bloating associated with my periods. It took a while to 'start working' (about 3 months of use, whereby I only take 2/day for a fortnight right in the middle of my 28-day cycle). I got onto it after reading 'Passage to Power' by Leslie Kenton who writes about this amazing herb, and explains the best ways to use it. It also seems to work positively on energy levels and skin.

Sheikh Shafiq Huda from the Islamic Humanitarian Service in Kitchener, Ont. gave a horrific speech at the “Al Quds Day” hate rally in Toronto — an annual rally sponsored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. He called for the “eradication” of any Israelis and Zionists in the world, he said he looked forward to the destruction of the American and British empires, and made other shocking comments, in plain English, on the steps of the provincial legislature at Queen’s Park.
It was a shocking display of anti-Semitism. But even more unbelievable: Sheikh Huda’s hate group actually received a summer jobs grant from Justin Trudeau’s Liberals — the same summer jobs grant denied to more than 1,500 Christian-oriented organizations, from food banks to summer camps.
Sign our petition now to demand that this hate preacher return his money. We’ll deliver the petition to Sheikh Huda himself, as well as the Trudeau Liberal who gave it to him, Labour Minister Patty Hajdu.

The World Bank's private-sector investment arm - International Finance Corporation (IFC) has invested $ 15 million in the Bangalore based Ed-tech startup Byju's. This investment will enable Byju's to further their plans and expand to international markets. In July that Byju's was close to raising between USD25 million and USD50 million for international expansion and had named IFC as one of four potential investors. IFC had also made a disclosure on its website at the time that it planned to invest USD15 million in Byju's.
The latest development marks the closing of this transaction. The round comes three months after the company raised USD50 million in a round co-led by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic foundation of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan and Sequoia Capital. Byju Raveendran, founder and chief executive of Byju's, said the fundraise was more of a strategic one to partner with IFC, which has a strong focus on the education sector globally.
Raveendran said that the fresh capital will mainly go into our ongoing product development activities for new markets. In addition, we will also spend significantly on branding and to add channel partners to reach out to more small cities in India as almost 70% of our users come from outside the top 10 cities.
In March, Byju's had raised $75 million (about Rs 500 crore) from Sequoia and Sofina. Byju's, incorporated as Think & Learn Pvt. Ltd, is India's largest K-12 learning app and offers programmes for students in classes 4 to 12 and competitive exams such as JEE, NEET, CAT, IAS, GRE and GMAT. It provides students personalised instruction, feedback and assessment using pedagogical methods, data science and machine learning.
The company claims that its app has been downloaded 7 million times and reached 330,000 annual subscribers across India. Byju's is building a new tech-enabled educational product targeting school students in English-speaking countries such as the US, the UK and commonwealth countries such as Australia and South Africa. Byju's claims to be profitable in the domestic market.

If you snapped up one of the more than 200,000 Raspberry Pi 3's available at launch, you might be wondering just what you can do with a $35 computer.
Here are 10 projects to get you going with the Pi 3 - some that make the most of the board's more capable hardware, some that are classic uses for the Pi and others that are just plain fun.
1. Build a classic games emulator
The Pi has always been home to a large number of arcade and console emulators and with the Pi 3's leap in power, the machine can now serve up the finest games of the late 90s.
It's not just console, arcade games such as N.A.R.C and SmashTV are apparently running at 100 percent performance on the Pi 3, as are venerable LucasArts PC hits X-Wing and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
Numerous emulators are available for the Pi but you can get started with something like the RetroPie - the Raspberry Pi version of the multi-system emulator RetroArch - for emulating Playstation 1, N64, Atari and classic PC titles and Reicast for emulating the Sega Dreamcast.

The first death in mainstream MMA stateside?
Thursday, June 11 4:02 pm PT: Five Ounces of Pain has learned that Strikeforceâ??s Aug. 15 womenâ??s title bout between Gina Carano and Cristiane â??Cyborgâ?? Santos will go a full five rounds.
Ever better: Strikeforce has confirmed to Sherdog/ESPN that rounds will be a full five minutes in duration. About time. There appears to be evidence females have a 10-15 percent lower oxygen consumption rate than men do, which could conceivably limit the kind of interval and muscular endurance performance that MMA demands, but is it really by so much that they needed competition duration reduced by nearly half?
Hopefully, subsequent womenâ??s bouts will follow suit. If any division is in need of curtailed rounds for the safety of participants, itâ??s the sloppy super-heavyweights. A blended cheeseburger is not a proper post-workout recovery drink.

4-14-14 Fishing Report
Water Conditions: New Melones Lake is currently holding
1,022,239 acre-feet of water. The lake level dropped two feet this week and is currently at 945 ft. above sea level and 140 ft. from full. The water is slightly stained with some areas forming mud lines. There is also a little bit of debris on the surface. The average water temperature is 58-64 degrees and rising daily. The boat launch ramps on the Glory Hole side have been moved back out to the end of the point which makes for a very short walk.
Trout: Slow. The trout has slowed down quite a bit and very few fish are being caught. The lake level is dropping and the water temperature is warming. This will push the trout from the shallows back out to deeper/cooler water. Try to find areas with clearer water that are protected from the wind and have deep water access. Also, if you are fishing an area with slightly stained to murky water, try using bright colored baits and lures. Bank fishing has been tough with most of the trout moving away from the shoreline. If you do choose to fish for trout from the shore, try fishing near Glory Hole Point and near the 49-bridge because the main river channel and cooler water is close. For bait try nightcrawlers, or chartreuse or rainbow garlic scented Power Bait. Trolling anglers have been catching a few fish while trolling over deep water on the main lake. To target these fish try using downriggers or leadcore line, 30-60' deep over 150-200' of water. The fish are relating to the old river channel and deep water. They will be in cooler water areas during the hotter summer months. Brighter colored baits have been working best. Orange, chartreuse and firetiger will work for browns and rainbows. When fishing the main lake and deep water it is a good idea to have a couple lines out that are targeting brown trout. There have been many really nice browns caught and released in the last few weeks. Try rolling shad or trolling large jointed plugs or swim baits. A good area for browns is out in front of the dam/spillway area or between the bridges. It is also a good idea to add plenty of scent and remember to reapply throughout the day.
Glory Hole Sports Big Fish of the Week Contest goes to 8-year old Carson Wiere of Vallecito. He landed a beautiful 1-pound rainbow on a red and white crappie jig. He also caught a big crappie as well.
Jim Medina caught and release this German Brown in deep water off of the rock piles on the Westside of the lake, opposite Tuttle Town Ramp. He caught it on a gold Kastmaster with a nightcrawler trailer. It weighed 7-pounds, 9-ounces and was 27" long. He also caught a 2-pound, 6-ounce brown that measures 20". No photo of it , but was able to catch it and release it.
We do encourage catch and release for the brown trout as The Department of Fish and Game will no longer be planting them. Carefully measure, weigh and photograph trophy fish and send us pictures and information.
Kokanee: Fair. The fish are starting to bite and we have had reports of a few limits being caught. Most anglers targeting the kokanee are finding a few here and there, along with a few rainbow trout. Some of the kokanee seem to be a decent size for this time of the year, and they have months left to grow. Pink is always a great color for dodgers and baits, with orange and green producing fish as well. It is a good idea to troll various sizes, colors, baits and blade combinations. The fish will favor certain rigs, and it can be a process of elimination to find what appeals to them throughout the day. Be sure to tip your baits with dyed and scented corn. Also apply scent to you blades and lures, and continue to reapply multiple times on each outing.
Bass: Good. Some bass have moved into shallow water to spawn, some are staging to spawn, and some have already spawned. The water temperature has warmed a bit each week and the fish have become very active. It is a good idea to fish for them with reaction baits such as spinner baits, crank baits, and jerk baits. If they don't respond to faster moving baits try slowing down a bit and fishing soft plastic baits. A great way to target fish at many different depths is with a Carolina Rig. This rig consist of a sliding sinker, bead, swivel, 24-48" leader and then a worm hook. Soft plastic baits that have many appendages such as Brush Hogs and lizards work well on this rig.
Dan Marzi of Douglas Flat caught and released a giant 10-pound bass. He hooked this lunker in shallow water first thing in the morning on a Big O jerk bait.
Please practice catch and release during the spring months. The fish are full of eggs in preparation for the spawn. Take photos and carefully release the fish back into to the lake to maintain a healthy fish population for generations to come.
Catfish: Fair. The big cats should be up and eager to feed in preparation for the spawn. The water temperature is getting warmer each day which will encourage the cats to move shallow. Try using frozen shad or a ball of crawlers to target these fish. Catfish are drawn to bait by scent so it is a good idea to add additional scent to your bait.
Crappie: Fair. The crappie bite is getting better each week and we are hearing of more being caught each day. We expect a fairly good bite this spring due to the lower water levels and the amount of standing timber. Try fishing with mini jigs and grubs under a slip-float. Also, a great way to catch them is with live minnows. The crappie that are being caught are chunky 1-2 pound slabs.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese: 10/10
You guys this pumpkin cream cheese is perfect! I am a humongous bagel fan and there is nothing I love more than a pumpkin bagel with this pumpkin cream cheese in the fall time. This cream cheese is on the thicker side, while not being too dense. It has the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor (not too overwhelming), and hints of brown sugar and cinnamon as well. I cannot WAIT to share the amazing fall recipes I have in the works especially the ones using this pumpkin cream cheese. I’ve seen that some are incredibly watery and thin this season, but thankfully the one I chose was not! I stocked up on extra tubs to freeze to have throughout the next season! I noticed that this year’s containers were either perfect, or realllly runny. Anyone else have this issue? Each container is $1.99.
Have you tried this cream cheese yet? What did you think? (I am not affiliated with Trader Joe’s)

How do I prepare for my first hypnosis session?
How To Prepare For a Hypnosis Session
- Wear comfortable clothing. …
- Eat a meal an hour or two before the session. …
- Write down dreams in your dream journal. …
- Write out the reasons you want to come to therapy at this time. …
- Write down what your goals are. …
- Tell a friend you are going. …
- Read a good article that sheds some light on what hypnosis is and isn’t.
What should I do before hypnosis?
Take care of your needs and comfort.
Wear sweats or other comfortable clothes, and take off your shoes. Make sure you aren’t hungry or thirsty, and use the bathroom before the hypnosis session begins. Remove all sources of distraction, including your ring tone.
Does hypnosis work on everyone?
Although hypnosis is indeed an interesting phenomenon, you need to relax and enjoy the process in order for it to work as it should! In reality, nearly everyone can be hypnotized – although some people may take longer than others to achieve the deep hypnotic trance characteristic of hypnosis.
How long does it take for hypnosis to work?
Most people start experiencing the full effect of hypnosis 10 minutes into the hypnotherapy session. In cases of a gastric band or smoking cessation hypnotherapy, the sessions can be as long as two hours.
Can you fall asleep during hypnosis?
ANSWER: If you fall asleep during hypnosis, the subconscious mind does indeed become less receptive to suggestions for change. Therefore, you WOULD lose some of the potential benefits of the session. HOWEVER, you may not actually be falling asleep!
What should I expect from my first hypnosis session?
Most people will just feel like they’re sitting there with their eyes closed in a chair. They might feel some heaviness; they might feel some relaxation; they might experience something very similar to a meditative state if they’ve had that sort of experience before.
How does being hypnotized feel?
The way people typically describe the feeling of being hypnotized, during hypnotherapy, is to be in a calm, physically, and mentally relaxed state, in which they are able to focus deeply on what they are thinking about.
Why is hypnosis bad?
A serious science. For some people, hypnosis is associated with loss of control or stage tricks. But doctors like Spiegel know it to be a serious science, revealing the brain’s ability to heal medical and psychiatric conditions.
What is the success rate of hypnosis?
Can you really be hypnotized?
Not everyone can be hypnotized, but two thirds of adults can, and people who are easily hypnotized tend to be more trusting of others, more intuitive and more likely to get so caught up in a good movie or play that they forget they’re watching one, Spiegel explains.
How does hypnosis work on the brain?
During hypnosis, the scientists found, a region of the brain called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex became less active. Studies have found that that region helps people stay vigilant about their external environment.
Does hypnosis therapy really work?
While hypnosis can be effective in helping people cope with pain, stress and anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy is considered the first line treatment for these conditions. Hypnosis may also be used as part of a comprehensive program for quitting smoking or losing weight. Hypnosis isn’t right for everyone, though.
Can hypnosis wear off?
A Certainly. Many of the effects of hypnosis wear off rapidly. Typical posthypnotic suggestions do not tend to persist over long periods, but hypnosis can permanently distort memory if the hypnotized subject comes to believe that he has remembered something that had not actually occurred.
How does hypnosis actually work?
How does hypnosis work? During hypnosis, a trained hypnotist or hypnotherapist induces a state of intense concentration or focused attention. … Hypnotherapy may place the seeds of different thoughts in your mind during the trance-like state, and soon, those changes take root and prosper.17 мая 2018 г.

It’s clear that inviting emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological support into your life is essential. It’s kind of common sense that we all need support from others. But science backs this up too. As humans, we are relational creatures that need the support of community in order to feel balanced and healthy.
Yet, there is a belief that I have observed over and over again in my clients--myself included, at times--where we think that when it comes to our own self-care, we are on our own.
Usually a high degree of fear and shame drives this belief. Many people are embarrassed by the fact that they need or want help. Asking for and receiving help from others in our society is often seen as a sign of weakness. And we are trained that if we get help, we are giving our power away to another person in a position of authority.
Asking for support from others has nothing to do with handing over your own sense of authority.
I believe it’s just the opposite. When we rely on others—both professionally and personally—we discover a new strength. This strength comes from allowing yourself to be vulnerable and willing to be transparent in a way you never have before. This takes courage, strength, and flexibility. Hardly the traits of a disempowered person.
By taking charge of your growth in this way, you become more adept at knowing which reflections, comments, and ideas resonate with you. When you are able to stay connected to yourself while receiving someone else’s help you can also let go of anything that just doesn't make sense or support your growth.
In this way, you become your own authority, even though you are working with a professional in a position of authority who can help you.
Having professionals on your team of support is critical since they not only offer the expertise from years of training, but they bring the experience of practicing their healing art every day to the table. Their skills, perspectives, and depth of experience is irreplaceable.
Recognizing the value of their support and then asking for it is a huge step on the healing journey. It’s actually very empowering.
When the timing is right and you feel inspired to get help, you become the creative force in charge of your journey of health and growth.
Going to a healthcare professional means that you are hiring them to support you directly as your consultant. Only you know who and what brings you alive.
As your self-care abilities grow stronger, you will begin to trust the professional support in your life more and more. You will know how to ask for feedback and treatments that will be helpful to you. You will recognize that you are in charge and ultimately know best.
Having discernment and self-respect about who you are and where you are on your health journey is important as you share your vulnerabilities with those that you invite onto your team.
Choose people for your team—whether professionals, peers, or family—who have the capacity to hold all of you. This includes your darkness and your light.
They should embrace your complexity, nuance, ups and downs, while also practicing love, gentleness, compassion, and challenge.

By Kenneth Katz, co-founder and principal, Baker-Katz
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the commercial real estate landscape, and retail has been no exception.
Over the past two years, Americans have flocked to rural and suburban communities on the outskirts of major cities, seeking lower living costs and a better quality of life. An uptick in demand for residential real estate followed, and hot on its heels came increased demand for new retail and restaurant spaces to serve growing populations.
Done right, retail construction can meet the emerging needs that migration trends expose, bringing new life and vitality to communities. Intelligent, efficient development practices can bring major retailers to consumers who would have previously traveled further afield, costing the city revenue. However, not every site or project is workable. Developers need to identify the right location — and the right moment.
In January 2021, Houston-based Baker Katz broke ground on Brenham Crossing, a 50-acre, 250,000-square-foot shopping center in Brenham, Texas. Nestled midway between Houston and Austin, with a population of close to 75,000, Brenham and the surrounding area quickly attracted new residents as more Americans sought temperate climates and a more accessible housing market.
In 2021, Texas topped U-Haul’s growth index with the most significant net gain of one-way U-Haul trucks over the year, narrowly beating other Sun Belt states like Florida, South Carolina and Arizona. Like many of its small city peers, Brenham found itself with an influx of residents and an increasing need for new retail offerings.
With a historic downtown area and a charming, small-town atmosphere, Brenham’s center is the city’s beating heart. When we approached the project, the need for new retail opportunities to meet the needs of the growing population was evident. So too was the need to preserve the idyllic downtown area.
Thanks to a well-positioned site, we have significantly increased the square footage of retailers in the city while preserving Brenham’s small-town feel. As a result, we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from residents.
As developers, the most important decisions we make come long before breaking ground. Choosing the right partners is critical, as is maintaining healthy and collaborative relationships — both with the city, county and onsite.
From Arch-Con Corp., our general contractor, to our partners at LA Architects LLC and civil engineer Kimley-Horn, our team maintained a high degree of coordination from start to finish. Having witnessed the increase in demand for retail space, the City of Brenham and Washington County understood the positive impact this development would have, and their collaborative partnership also helped us move the project forward smoothly.
Construction of Brenham Crossing took place as we navigated the second year of COVID-19-induced materials shortages and social restrictions across the country. Flexibility is vital in any construction project, particularly against this backdrop, as is staying on track. While we were fortunate to initiate the project and lock in pricing on materials before steep increases impacted the market, we still faced supply chain issues and onsite worker shortages.
As in any retail project, there were firm deadlines that had to be met to comply with lease agreements. Setting the retailers up for success was the No. 1 priority. The need to keep promises to retailers and deliver to the local community was the driving force behind every decision.
In fact, the thoughtfulness given to the design of the project, from layout to building materials, was of utmost importance to deliver something more than a retail center — a destination the community could truly be proud of.
By clearly stating goals and staying nimble in the face of setbacks, the project was delivered on schedule despite COVID-induced challenges. In February, Hobby Lobby, Burkes Outlet and Aspen Dental became the first of Brenham Crossing’s tenants to open their doors. Retailers like Marshalls, Five Below and PetSmart will follow in the coming weeks.
Retail construction projects inevitably face challenges, and the pandemic has only exacerbated this. Success comes down to several factors: forming a strong team, building solid local relationships, honoring commitments and demonstrating flexibility and creativity.
However, the rewards are high. In Brenham, a small community that lacked adequate retail space, the impact of a center of this size and scale will be felt for decades to come.
As migration trends continue to change the distribution of our population, more and more Americans are making their homes in communities like Brenham. While Texas leads the nation in population growth, the movement to rural markets is mirrored across the country and shows no sign of slowing down.
As small towns across America experience influxes of people, resources and opportunities, retail and restaurants stand to benefit. Quality retail projects can provide a needed boost to a local economy, enhancing the communities in which we live and work.
By recognizing the need for new retail space, developers can help communities grow — and help businesses rise to the occasion by offering convenience to residents while preserving the elements that make a community unique. By paying attention to trends and working closely with partners, the projects we deliver can be impactful, market-boosting and beneficial to consumers and retailers alike.
Houston-based Baker Katz is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm focused on ground-up development and value-add investments.

It’s the year of chatbots! After Microsoft announced Microsoft Bot Framework at BUILD and Facebook announced Bots for Messenger, Google is turning Google Now into a chatbot with Google Assistant.
Currently part of its Allo app, Google Assistant interacts with users via an ongoing stream of text and images. Unlike Cortana, Google Assistant suggests topics for users to interact with suggests follow-up topics to continue the conversation. It also keeps a running tally of the conversation, allowing a user to scroll back and continue it from an earlier point in the conversation. Expectedly, Google Assistant will replace Google Now for Android.
According to Harry Shum, the Executive Vice President at Microsoft in charge of the new AI and Research Group, Cortana was originally designed to quickly interact with the user, then get out of the way. However, in an interview with PCWorld, Shum said he hasn’t ruled out adding a Cortana chatbot to its roster of digital assistants. Microsoft would still want Cortana to have some form of personality, like Siri but unlike Google Now/Google Assistant. Shum also acknowledged that chatbots, with their back-and-forth exchanges, could significantly boost engagement.
Interestingly, when the Microsoft Bot Framework was announced, Satya Nadella unveiled his ‘Conversations as a Platform’ strategy and Derrick Connell, Corporate Vice President, Bing, envisioned Cortana as an arbiter negotiating between the users and third-party bots.
Microsoft’s first attempt at an ‘assistant’ was long way back with the much mocked, yet somewhat useful at the time, Clippy. Then there was the failed Microsoft Bob. Now, Cortana of course is more modern as well as intelligent and context aware.
Last year, Microsoft unveiled an AI-powered Twitter chatbot, Tay. The experimental project had to be retired in just a day after it was trolled to parrot abusive and derogatory tweets.
The company though found success in XiaoIce (pronounced ‘Shao ice’). Unveiled in September 2014 just about the time Cortana appeared, XiaoIce was positioned as a friend that users could add onto Weibo and other Chinese social networking sites. The strength of XiaoIce is that it is far more emotional and human-like. To make sure she is natural and sound more human-like, the team at Bing indexed over seven million conversations with Xiaolce.
Microsoft later brought XiaoIce to the Japanese market and Shum has shared that the company was thinking about something for the US market.
Recently, Microsoft placed the Cortana and Bing product teams inside the same organization as Microsoft Research. The new Microsoft AI and Research Group, led by Shum, has over 5,000 computer scientists and engineers, and would be looking at architecturing the next generation of digital assistants.
What are your thoughts on chatbots and digital assistants and which paradigm do you prefer between question and answer or a conversation? Tell us in the comments!

Social Democratic Party (PSD) candidate in the presidential elections Viorica Dancila has stated in Targu-Jiu on Friday, that head of state Klaus Iohannis "is a dictator president, who wants to lead from the stand of the Presidential Administration," but Romanians want a president to respond to their problems and questions.
"What we see these days should worry us all. We see a dictator president, a president who wants to lead from the stand of the Presidential Administration, we see a president who actually is Romania's Prime Minister, we see a president who wants 'my Parliament', a president who wants 'my Commissioner' and I ask myself: then, we, the other Romanians, where do we stand? Where are you? Where do you stand in the president's decisions? Are his decisions good for us, good for this country? (...) We see a president who went like Mr. Headmaster holding the pupil by hand to tell them what to do, to vouch for these measures against people, we see a president who breached and continues to breach the Constitution," Viorica Dancila stated.
Former Prime Minister Dancila said that she didn't understand why Klaus Iohannis participated in the investiture in office of the Interior Minister, in the context in which presidential elections take place on Sunday, but also attended the office takeover ceremony of the Justice Minister.
"I understood President Iohannis's participation in the investiture of the National Defence Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister, but I wonder, just like many Romanians in this country, what was Romania's President doing at the investiture of the Interior Minister, when he is a candidate and we have presidential elections on Sunday? What was candidate Iohannis doing at the inauguration of the Justice Minister, when, on 12th, he has a trial for the six houses? He wanted to show that he invested him 'Be careful, I brought you here, you should answer to my orders.' But we don't want this, we want for the president to answer all Romanians' questions, to their problems, the challenges which emerge for this country," the PSD candidate running for president stated.
Viorica Dancila attended on Friday in Targu-Jiu a meeting with PSD members and leaders of Oltenia counties, as well as with MPs in the area. Among those who accompanied Dancila were also former Ministers Petre Daea and Eugen Teodorovici.

You haven’t really tasted a strawberry's full flavor until you’ve tried locally grown varieties, which are a world away from the underripe fruit picked for shipping. Now there’s a new option on the local front, so New Yorkers won’t have to wait until late May. Bowery Farming, which, despite its name, grows greens in a giant indoor facility in Kearny, N.J., has just introduced Bowery Strawberries, two varieties packed together in 4-ounce containers.
They’re free of pesticides, ripe, and only available for a limited time. The berries labeled Garden are juicy and pretty, with decent flavor but not much aroma. The type called Wild looks about the same as the Garden ones, but they are winners with a lovely perfume and a bright, tart sweetness.

The song narrates the story of how people migrate from rural areas to urban to seek greener pastures. The least they knew is the struggles that lie beneath the high towers and buildings that inspired their dreams.
Ohohuo Asem also tells how ambitious Agyekum was. In fact, he wanted to be a musician, but when the time came for Hammer to help him, there were rumours about his personality that dispirited the music mogul to look the other way. That he was disrespectful and others.
Hammer released has released the video in 2021, exactly a decade ago in loving memory of Agyekum. He never lived to see the video.
Pouring his heart on the project, Hammer said, “10yrs ago in 2011 a very important issue was captured in a song written and performed by Agyekum and Sarkodie(The plight of a traveller/stranger). I produced and recorded this song in the last days leading to the shut down of the famous hush hush studios.”
In 2019, Hafiz shot the video for the song, the same year Agyekum kicked the bucket after a short illness. However, Hammer didn’t release the video because of respect for the family. The deceased left three beautiful kids. Upon releasing the video, the producer has decided that the proceeds will be given to the kids.
“2 months after the shoot in 2019 Agyekum the artist fell ill and died. I made a decision to shelf the video out of respect for the bereaved family. YouTube proceeds will be given to his 3 beautiful kids in perpetuity.”
Hammer is pleading with the general public to “help support this cause with as many views as possible.” Kindly like and share this article after watching the video below, the least you can do for the family.

Instant Pot Chicken Curry – Inspired by Indian Recipes
Instant Pot Chicken Curry is a recipe that is full of flavor. And that makes sense. Indian food as a whole is full of intense flavors, and they are found in every curry chicken recipe we’ve ever tried.
You can find chicken curry ingredients like curry seasoning, coconut milk, coconut cream, and cumin at many specialty stores. I often order these online. Coconut cream is often difficult to find in a grocery store.
The selection of curry seasoning powder is impressive.
Coconut Chicken Curry is my personal favorite chicken curry recipe.
Coconut Chicken Curry
Chicken curry is a common food in South Asia, and is widely served in India.
The combination of Chicken and rice is ideal. It’s especially appealing to counteract the heat and spice of some more intense curry powders.
India has different types of curry that are specific to the regions they come from. You’ll find all sorts of chicken curry recipes depending on where you venture to in India.
Some of the curry recipes in India include Chicken Kurma, Chicken Gravy, Chicken Kulambu, and Indian Butter Chicken. Murgh Makhani, Chettinad Chicken Curry, Chicken Cafreal, and Chicken Garam Masala are served in various regions of India. And there is also Kerala Chicken Curry, Nadan Kozhi Curry, Dhania Murg Makhni, and Spicy Malvani Chicken Curry. The list of curry recipes is huge.
Since the type of curry varies by region, you’ll have a wide range of flavors available if you tour around India. Exploring the food of India, in India, would be quite the trip!
I’ve tried using curry in a few recipes. This low calorie Healthy Egg White Scramble recipe is one example.
This Asian Rice Bowl recipe doesn’t have curry in it. Adding a little bit of curry powder to it would make this delicious dish sensational.

How to Make Easy Chicken Curry in Less than 30 Minutes
Instant Pot chicken curry is really easy to make. I prefer it to making curry on the stove top. Pressure cooking is my favorite way to make curry, because it is easy to just put all the ingredients in the pot.
With this recipe, you start by sauteing ginger and cumin. Then, the onions are added in along with vegetable oil or olive oil. These ingredients are cooked just for just 2-3 minutes to pull out the intense flavors.
After that,add chicken, and stir in curry powder and salt and pepper to the pot. Cook the chicken halfway, stirring as it sautes.
Finally, add coconut milk and optional tomato sauce. Lock the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
Set the cook time for 10 minutes and enjoy the aroma of chicken curry cooking. Following a quick release, dinner is ready.
A few recipe notes:
Add about 15 minutes to the cooking time to factor in the time to come to pressure and the quick pressure release time.
You can use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
Is Curry Chicken Spicy
Chicken curry can be spicy. In this recipe, we add in tomato sauce to lighten the heat of the curry. However, tomato sauce is optional. If you want to experience the chicken curry recipe at its full spicy flavor, leave the tomato sauce out.
We also serve chicken curry with white rice. This is another way to tame the heat of curry.
Is it Chicken Curry or Curry Chicken
It’s chicken curry.
Chicken is the type of meat that is being used in the recipe, but curry is the dish. Therefore, it is call ‘chicken curry’.
An analogy would be white rice. Rice is the type of dish. So, you can have Balsamic rice, brown rice, fried rice, and so on.
With curry, there can be many varieties of curry recipes. Some examples include: sweet potato curry, beef curry, and even pork curry.
What to Serve with Chicken Curry
My favorite way to serve chicken curry is with white rice. It’s a simple side dish, and so good. It really helps to take the bite out of the spiciness of the curry.
When rice is served with curry, you can have as much as you like with each bite of curry.
Naan is another great side to serve with curry. It’s a leavened, baked flatbread that is common in Asia and the Caribbean.
Greens and chutney are also widely popular to serve with chicken curry.
Can You Freeze Chicken Curry
Yes. You can freeze chicken curry, following a couple simple steps.
First, refrigerate your leftovers quickly. Do not let them sit out to cool all the way down.
Second, when the leftover chicken curry has cooled enough in the fridge, it can be transferred to the freezer. Make sure to use good freezer safe containers.
Chicken curry and rice can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to use it within that time-frame for best results.

Surgical management of lower-grade glioma in the spotlight of the 2016 WHO classification system
According to the 2016 WHO classification lower-grade gliomas consist of three groups: IDH-mutated and 1p/19q co-deleted, IDH-mutated and IDH-wildtype tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical therapy for lower-grade gliomas with a particular focus on the molecular subgroups.
This is a bi-centric retrospective analysis including 299 patients, who underwent treatment for lower-grade glioma between 1990 and 2016. All tumors were re-classified according to the 2016 WHO classification. Data concerning baseline and tumor characteristics, overall survival, different treatment modalities and functional outcome were analyzed.
A total of 112 (37.5%) patients with IDH-mutation and 1p/19q co-deletetion, 86 (28.8%) patients with IDH-mutation and 101 (33.8%) patients with IDH-wildtype tumors were identified. The median overall survival (mOS) differed significantly between the groups (p < 0.001). Surgical resection was performed in 226 patients and showed significantly improved mOS compared to the biopsy group (p = 0.001). Gross total resection (GTR) was associated with better survival (p = 0.007) in the whole cohort as well as in the IDH-mutated and IDH-wildtype groups compared to partial resection or biopsy. IDH-wildtype patients presented a significant survival benefit after combined radio-chemotherapy compared to radio- or chemotherapy alone (p = 0.02). Good clinical status (NANO) was associated with longer OS (p = 0.001).
The impact of surgical treatment on the outcome of lower-grade gliomas depends to a great extent on the molecular subtype of the tumors. Patients with more aggressive tumors (IDH-wildtype) seem to profit from more intensive treatment like GTR, multiple resections and combined radio-/chemotherapy.

Like many spring break volunteer groups, the West Virginia University School of Medicine students have made community service a tradition. Their school requires students to serve 100 hours in the community as part of their emphasis on service to the state, and for the last several years, first-year medical students have been taking a trip to New Orleans to give their time building homes with NOAHH as a way to enjoy their break and fulfill their service requirements–and to gain some valuable perspective after a long year of studying.
“We’re surrounded by medicine all the time,” said Ali Mintus, who organized the trip. “It’s easy to lose sight that there’s more to a person than just their medicine, sot his is an opportunity to experience people in all walks of life and to remember the human side of medicine.”
Ali volunteered many times with Habitat affiliates during her years as an undergrad, and her experiences helped build excitement for the coming trip. In previous builds, she worked alongside future homeowners, which made an impact on her.
“When you talk with the homeowners, and they tell you all they’ve been through and the difficulties, the triumphs and tribulations of their lives, to see where they are now and to see the hope they have when they’re building their own home and getting ready to be homeowners, it’s something that’s exciting.”
About 60 students–or two-thirds of the class–volunteered for the trip. Over the course of their four days on site, they will collectively complete 2,016 hours of service, and each student will complete a third of their individual requirements. During that time, the medical students will leave a significant impact on the homes on America Street.
“For most students, that’s not a big deal at all, but this is a great way to do it with friends and do it while you’re having fun with other people,” said Ali. “Seeing how far we can get on the house. This is the biggest group of students I’ve worked with on a build. Even just over the course of a half a day, we’ve made a lot of progress. I can’t wait to see from the beginning to the end the final product of where we end up at the end of the week.”
For most of the students, Ali included, this trip marks their first time in New Orleans. While their days are spent giving back, they are still taking time to see the city as well.
“I love jazz music, and I love music, so to be able to walk around the streets and hear music everywhere, it’s exciting for me,” she said. “I’m looking forward to getting to experience all the culture that I can. Most of us haven’t been here before so we’re all exploring it together and trying to take in the most of it we can.”
Also during their trip, the students joined NOAHH at our ReStore, where they helped organize materials for the sales floor. Though this was not quite the same as building a house, their service still held great value to the affiliate, as the ReStore is a crucial part of the Habitat program.
“To me, service is putting yourself out there to help someone else even in small ways,” Ali said. “I think that small ways are the best ways. Mother Theresa said to do small things with great love, and that’s something I try to do every day.”

Do you ever feel like a number, not a person?
In order to provide services to you, the healthcare system is likely to link your Social Security Number to several other numbers. Identifying you is, of course, important to your well-being.
Treating you as a number and not a person, however, is a different matter.
A conflict is brewing in the era of healthcare reform. Reformers often focus on creating system-wide efficiencies in an attempt to reduce cost. As a result, there is a balancing act between what is best for the most number of people, and what is best for each individual.
To remain an individual in the era of population health, you must proactively do all that you can to make sure your care is patient-centered.
At worldmeter.info I am told there are 7.4 billion people in the world. The website also says there are 323.1 million Americans. These are huge populations.
Providing and paying for healthcare for 323.1 million people is a huge challenge for the United States. It is the central point of the healthcare reforms we’ve experienced since Congress passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010.
One of the relative new buzzwords informing ACA healthcare reformers is “population health.” A definition of population health acceptable to most reformers is hard to find. One definition is “the health outcome of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.” The hard part for reformers is knowing who fits into what group or groups, and how it will affect your ability to receive and pay for healthcare services.
Public policymakers apply the population health concept to healthcare budgets, practice guidelines for physicians, medical research, bedside care, clinical services, and just about anything else related to healthcare.
The federal government has invested billions of dollars pursuing effective and useful electronic health records (EHRs), and to build a massive repository of healthcare data at the national level. This healthcare data, it is thought, can be used to guide doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals concerning the care they provide to patients.
Population health data records do not include the names of individuals, only numbers that are able to be grouped together and analyzed for many different purposes. The data can be reduced to mathematical formulae that guide healthcare professionals, payers, and government planners in the distribution of healthcare.
A potential conflict exists, however, between population health data and individual needs.
This is where you come in.
Regardless of population health trends, each of us wants to be more than a number. Our reality is that we want to stay healthy, and when we are suffering, or our life is threatened, we want to be treated in a welcoming healthcare system as an individual human being. We want the data of our individual life to take precedence over population health data that might conflict with it.
The implications of being a name, not a number, are great. The most obvious implication is self-preservation and individual quality of life. The great news is that in the United States we retain the freedom to manage our own lives.
Making sure we are more than a number in the healthcare data set starts with taking care of ourselves. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), for instance, asserts that as much as 70 percent of healthcare spending is related to preventable conditions, chief among which is obesity. Just as important, is learning how the healthcare system works so you can partner with medical professionals when you need help.
Knowledge of how our healthcare system delivers individual care to you is a life-changer.
The best way to guard against becoming just a number in a population health system starts with choosing to take ownership of your healthcare. Trig’s mission is to serve as a central resource to help you access healthcare, to become an informed healthcare consumer rather than a number in a system.

Air passenger traffic in Portugal maintained its growth trend in August, but below the pre-epidemic period. During the strong month of the Portuguese holiday, there was a movement of 3.9 million passengers and 16,100 tons of cargo and mail at national airports.
According to a report released by the National Statistics Institute (INE) this Tuesday, movements represent an increase of 76.3% (passenger) and 55.3% (freight) compared to August 2020. However, compared to August 2019, the number of passengers in motion has decreased by 39.9% and the movement of goods and mail has decreased by 5.2%.
For the full year, between January and August 2021, there was a 9.2% decrease in the number of passengers handled at national airports compared to the same period of the previous year. The reduction is 70.1% compared to the same period in 2019. Between January and August 2021, with a significantly lower number of passengers by the United Kingdom and Germany, France was the primary origin and destination for aircraft.
In August 2021, 17.4 thousand aircraft landed at national airports on commercial flights, 3.9 million passengers (boarding, landing and direct transport) and 16.1 thousand tons of cargo and mail movement (39.9%, 76.3% and 55.3 compared to August 2020 respectively).
“This month, the number of landing planes and passengers has been very high since the beginning of the Govt-19 epidemic crisis. Compared to August 2019, the number of landing planes varied by -39.9%. , -55.8% and -10.3% in the same order compared to the same month in July 2021) “, the INE report adds.

INDENT1832 Private Sydney Bayliss Houghton, born Liverpool, volunteered for active service August, 1914. He was killed in action North-West of Hill 60, Belgium 5 May 1915 when he volunteered with a friend to deliver a despatch; after completing the service he was mortally wounded when a shell burst nearby (see page 124 of the Regimental History for details of the Bn. in this day's action)
1643 Corporal William Porteous, born 1889, Edinburgh, enlisted in the King's Liverpool Regiment and served in France and Belgium from February 1915. He was killed in action at Guillemont 7 August 1916 and was buried in Peronne Road Cemetery, Maricourt, France. (The George Herriot's School Roll of Honour and the Watsonian War Record refer).
Second Lieutenant Harold Edgar St. George formerly Von Heyder educated at Harrow, joined the Inns of Court O.T.C., April 1915, and was commissioned in the 10th Suffolks in July; transferred to the King's Liverpool Regiment and went to France May 1916. His Company, in support of the South Lancs, attacked the enemy lines before Guillemont 13 August 1916 and he was last seen on the parapet of the third enemy trench covering a German with his revolver. His men saw him fall before they retired - his body was not found after the position was successfully taken two days later.
