Yesterday, NBC Sports NFL analyst Chris Simms unveiled his quarterback prospect rankings for 2021:
My 2021 Draft QB Rankings. Taping the podcast soon with full breakdown/explanation. pic.twitter.com/dkzlcKeZEJ
— Chris Simms (@CSimmsQB) March 3, 2021
Simms has been relentlessly attacked and ridiculed on Twitter for his rankings, which notably include BYU’s Zach Wilson at No. 1 over Clemson phenom Trevor Lawrence and former Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond ranked ahead of Ohio State’s Justin Fields and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance.
Though Mond might be an underrated prospect, not many will agree that he should be ranked ahead of Fields and Lance. But credit to Simms for thinking for himself. Simms presumably has plenty of security at NBC and doesn’t need to do this for attention—he’s just saying what he feels and doesn’t fall victim to groupthink.
The good news is some are defending Simms, pointing out that he had Patrick Mahomes higher than just about anyone in 2017, and he had Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen ranked as his top quarterbacks in 2018 and was also high on Justin Herbert last year.
But overall, to be blunt, most are pretty much calling Simms an idiot. Why is that?
Part of the issue might be that people are insecure when someone’s rankings stray too far from the consensus because many of these people haven’t actually watched all these quarterbacks play (Simms has obviously watched film on them). Thus, many casual fans feel attacked that their consensus might be off, and they then attack a guy like Simms for daring to think for himself.
It’s not fair, but it’s the way it goes on negative social media platforms that make it easy to criticize from behind a keyboard.
Different opinions are part of what makes discussing sports fun, at least when it stays cordial and on a level of understanding. It’s one thing to have a dialogue regarding Simms’s opinion, but it’s another thing to just blatantly call him an idiot (especially if you are just basing your own opinions off groupthink and didn’t watch the prospects like he did).
And over the course of the next few years, we’ll see how things play out. The success of players also partly comes down to the situations they land in (like Mahomes getting to play for Andy Reid on an excellent offense). “Can’t-miss” prospects can become misses, and diamonds in the rough are found every year. Anyone that says they know for certain what’ll happen is lying.
So disagree with Simms? Sure. But it’s probably unwise to badger someone with dumbed-down criticism just because you think they’re 100% “wrong” on something as unpredictable as the NFL draft.
Good article but Simms didn’t really have those past quarterbacks that high. He just says a bunch of stuff and rotates his rankings around and people are pointing out the time he happened to say Jackson was 2. He ended with Jackson 4th QB.
He’s not most accurate as many are saying is my point.
Major L to you. Bigger to Sims
Simms dare suggests Wilson should play the same position as Patrick Mahomes?

Houston-based HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. says fourth-quarter catastrophe losses will likely be between $30 million and $35 million, and the company’s chief executive warned of substantial rate increases in the future.
The $30 million-plus figure is after reinsurance and reinstatement premium, and is pretax. The company says the losses relate to Superstorm Sandy and primarily impact the company’s property-insurance business.
HCC adds that the ultimate loss from Sandy may differ materially from its current estimate because of “uncertainties involved at this early stage, the complexities of the nature of the event and the ongoing collection of information.”
In a statement, John N. Molbeck Jr., HCC’s CEO says that Sandy “will result in a re-evaluation of exposure in the northeast, and we anticipate this re-evaluation will result in meaningful price increases.”

Construction has begun on a new Tasting Room for Sokol Blosser Winery in the Willamette Valley wine region. Designed by Brad Cloepfil, founding principal of Allied Works Architecture, the new building will provide a range of spaces for sampling Sokol Bosser’s wines and viewing their Yamhill...
Audience members sat on the floor and stood in the aisles in the packed third-floor conference room where the BAR holds its hearings. Numerous neighborhood associations and preservationists had come to weigh in on the design, but the size of the crowd was also partly due to College of Charleston professor David Payne, who brought his historic preservation and community planning class to observe the melee. — charlestoncitypaper.com
“We were hired to do the most important piece of contemporary architecture — or architecture of our time — that we can do in this city,” Cloepfil says.
The design for the 30,000-square-foot center at the northeast corner of George and Meeting streets includes three rectangular masses, not unlike grand three-story single houses in their approximate size. — postandcourier.com
The school announced Friday that it has selected Allied Works Architecture of Portland and e.e. fava architects, etc. of Charleston to design a new three-story building at George and Meeting streets.
Richard Goodstein, dean of Clemson's College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities, said the firms were chosen "because of their deep experience in urban design, their commitment to sustainability and their demonstrated sensitivity to place and context." — postandcourier.com
The majority of architecture culture just puts out books. I mean, if we were to participate in that consumer culture of architecture publications, we would have put a book out six or seven years ago.
But I wanted to wait until we had buildings. We feature one competition in the book and the rest of it is about real projects. That means a lot to me as an architect. — oregonlive.com
Two years after holding an international architectural competition that saw world-renowned designers face off in a public presentation, the National Music Centre revealed the extraordinary final design by Allied Works Architecture, the winner of the competition. — canadianarchitect.com

LUBBOCK, Texas – Florida State’s Mike McGee was named a semifinalist for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award as announced by the College Baseball Foundation on Tuesday, June 8. McGee is one of 10 student-athletes still competing for the inaugural award.
The Olerud Award, which recognizes a player who makes an impact both on the mound and at the plate, will be presented in Lubbock, Texas, on July 2 as part of the College Baseball Awards Show.
“We are proud to honor the legacy that John Olerud established at Washington State as both a first baseman and a pitcher,” said Randy Norman, Olerud Award committee co-chair. “All the young men on this list have compiled impressive statistics at the plate, in the field and on the mound.”
McGee has the lowest earned run average of those student-athletes on the watch list with an ERA of 0.38 in 24.0 innings of work this year.
The junior from Port St. Lucie, Fla., has once again been an outstanding two-way player for the Seminoles in 2010. McGee has played in every game for Florida State this year making 57 starts in left field while hitting .335 with 76 hits, 14 doubles, 14 home runs and 67 RBI. He currently leads the team in home runs and RBI, while ranking second in hits.
On the mound, McGee has stepped in nicely as the Seminole closer posting a 4-0 record with 11 saves and a 0.38 ERA. The right hander has registered 24.0 innings in 17 appearances allowing just two runs, one earned, while posting 28 strikeouts. McGee has given up only eight hits and is holding opponents to a .103 average. In his first and only start of the season back on March 8 at Jacksonville, McGee no-hit the Dolphins over 6.0 innings. McGee’s 11 saves are tied for the fifth most in a single-season at Florida State.
The College Baseball Awards Show will take place on July 2 in Lubbock, Texas, as part of a nearly weeklong schedule of festivities sponsored by the College Baseball Foundation. The events also include the induction ceremony for the National College Baseball Hall of Fame.

|Born||November 8, 1879|
|Died||April 20, 1981(aged 101)|
Mabel Trunnelle (November 8, 1879 – April 20, 1981) was an American actress who appeared in 194 films between 1908 and 1923.
Photoplay magazine argued that she was the merry-serious girl whose expressive eyes and face mirror emotions more effectively than a hundred voices. She was educated upon the stage for the five years she had spent in films, mostly before Edison cameras. Miss Trunnelle was a modest, cheerful, winsome young American wife whose husband was Herbert Prior.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Bureau flip-flops, issues Mangkhut sea warning

/ Staff writer, with CNA
The Central Weather Bureau yesterday issued a sea warning for Typhoon Mangkhut, reversing its previous forecast that there was little chance of a sea warning because the storm had turned further south than expected.
The typhoon, moving west-northwest at a speed of 25kph, was 840km southeast of the Hengchun Peninsula, the bureau said in its typhoon update issued at 11:30am yesterday.
Typhoon Mangkhut is packing sustained winds of 209kph, with gusts of up to 263kph, the bureau said.
The storm is likely to pass closest to Taiwan today and, with its 300km radius, poses an ongoing threat to marine activities off southeastern Taiwan, with strong winds and high waves, the bureau said.
It added that the storm’s periphery is expected to bring heavy rain to southern and southeastern areas of Taiwan.

We’re two episodes into The Bachelor take two with Brad Womack and we’re already sick of hearing about his past issues. That didn’t stop us from tuning in to see the girls move into their glamorous new digs while Train serenaded Womack and Jackie during a one-on-one date!
And then there were 20. Okay, that’s a lot of girls left on The Bachelor for Brad Womack 2.0 to choose from and we’re a long way from calling the finale. The show’s second episode of what promises to be a painstakingly long season, featured the lovely ladies checking out their new digs and our changed bachelor beginning his elimination process with one-on-one dates. Womack did have a little help from the band Train — no you didn’t hear wrong. Just read on, it will all make sense soon enough.
The Bachelor: How the dates went down
So, here’s how Brad Womack broke down the women’s dates this week. Two lucky women got one-on-one dates with the hunky Womack while 15 others competed in the dreaded group date that consisted of a PSA for the American Red Cross. The other three, well, they got zilch.
Ashley H. was chosen to take a trip down a path to start her one-on-one date with Brad. The path led to a mysteriously dark area that eventually transformed into a whimsical carnival with the switch of a light — thank goodness, it was beginning to look a little creepy. As the two ran around like kids, Ashley opened up about her daddy issues and Womack opened up about his own problems. Cue the romantic kiss atop the ferris wheel. Wow, who saw that coming?
The first one-on-one date was interesting, but not really entertaining. We hoped for some excitement in the group date with Chantal, Madison, Melissa, Kimberly, Marissa, Raichel, Britt, Meghan, Emily, Stacey, Alli, Shawntel, Michelle and Lisa — and we got it. It started with Michelle’s distain over sharing her 30th birthday, and Brad, with the other women. The girls were greeted with a fantastic date — PSAs for the American Red Cross. They were tasked to remind America to donate blood and partake in January’s National Blood Donor Month.
It was supposed to be a feel-good date but jealousy erupted when Brad laid sweet kisses on a few ladies and some felt left out. Michelle flipped out over Brad’s racy scene with a few girls but she still pulled a group date rose out of her hat and taunted the others with it. If you were wondering what happened to Sarah P., Ashley S. and Lindsay, it’s easy, they weren’t invited to any of the dates.
Jackie got the coolest one-on-one date by far because of one word — Train! Brad and Jackie headed to the Hollywood Bowl for a private dinner where Jackie revealed her cautious dating record and our reformed bachelor couldn’t fault her as he was there at one point.
Out of nowhere, the lights changed and Train serenaded the couple as they danced to some beats and showed off their fun side. They slowed it down with a little Marry Me, while sharing an intimate kiss. They are by far my favorite couple at this point! There’s no question, she got a rose.
The Bachelor: The rose ceremony
After some drama boiled over between Melissa and Raichel at the cocktail party, Brad tried to play the hero for both but it just looked awkward.
Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez showed up on to assess the new season and find out who’s on the up-and-up. Ali and Roberto grilled each of the girls and chose Emily as their pick to receive a rose before the ceremony begins.
Someone always has to go home, but in this case it wasn’t just one person, it was three. Keltie, Michelle and Raichel came up short.

Woodside Animal Clinic
In 1960 Dr. Henry Raskin converted what had been a Royal Oak real estate office into what is now the Woodside Animal Clinic, at 27452 Woodward Avenue. Dr. Raskin practiced at Woodside for 10 years but when he moved his home to Holly, Michigan in 1970 he sold the clinic to Dr. John Simon who, up until then, had been an employed veterinarian at another nearby Detroit veterinary clinic.
Dr. Simon became Woodside’s new owner on February 10, 1970 and practiced strictly conventional medicine for 12 years. He then became intrigued with acupuncture and after 150 hours of study with the International Veterinary Association became the first certified veterinary acupuncturist in the metropolitan Detroit area.
Dr. Simon’s interest in alternative medicine expanded and he next became certified in spinal adjustment by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association. He continues to take seminars in both conventional and alternative medicine so that he will have more options available to help treat sick animals.
Some of the other modalities practiced by Dr. Simon include nutritional and herbal medicine, glandular therapy, Homotoxicology, pulsed magnetic therapy, systemic enzyme therapy, antioxidant therapy, neurotransmitter therapy, bio resonance therapy, bio oxidative therapy and Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (aka VOM).
Both Dr. Simon and Dr. Raskin were unique as they were amongst the first veterinarians in the nation that treated pet birds Dr. Simon’s interest in non-traditional pets now includes ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, iguanas, and turtles. Except for the addition of a third exam room the clinic’s exterior continues to look as it did in 1970. The clinic’s exterior western décor, complete with barn wood and two hitching posts will never be outdated. Its unique look seems to be very much appreciated by its clientele.
The practice has been featured in the Detroit New, Royal Oak Tribune, Oakland Press, and the Macomb Daily. Dr. Simon is the creator of the Pet Care Fair, the Vet Care Fair, and Michigan Veterinary Medical Association’s public relations program “People, Pets, and Vets”. Dr. Simon is a past president of the Oakland County veterinary Medical Association and has received veterinary association awards for his community service programs and for his programs enhancing the image of veterinary medicine.

Camp Taylor may get a new home
Camp wants to take old Honor Farm site
A camp for children living with heart disease may soon have a permanent home in Stanislaus County.
Camp Taylor puts smiles on many children's faces.
"[There are] lots of incredible opportunities for children that wouldn't otherwise get to go to summer camp," Camp Taylor founder Kimberlie Gamino said. "It’s about educating them about their heart disease and introducing them to other children with zipper scars down [the] chest so they don't feel alone."
Gamino and her husband founded the camp 12 years ago. Their son Taylor was born with half a heart.
"He was 8 years old and couldn't keep up with classmates and wanted to wear high shirts to cover his scars," Gamino said.
Since then, Camp Taylor has grown.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is a big supporter, as he endured the painful loss of his two brothers to heart disease.
Children, teens and families have been enjoying all the camp has to offer -- and now, officials want to find a permanent home. They hope to buy the old Honor Farm in Stanislaus County, which closed in 2010 after a fire.
Gamino said camp officials want to have a place like the farm where they could have a pool, horseback riding and family-fun activities for children like her son.
"Our mission is to make a difference while they are with us, because we don't know how much time we have," Gamino said.


One notable revision is the cast itself. Sammi decided not to join her old roomies, but Pauly D brought along a replacement: a doll he fixed with a voice box full of Sammi quotes. Not sure how long the doll is going to last, as Snooki and Deena tried to “drown” it in the pool.
Snooki and JWoww each have two kids, Pauly D has one, and Ronnie is about to join them in parenthood. He broke the news to Pauly D before the trip. Ronnie says he’s going to try to be good, i.e. not cheat on his soon-to-be baby mama, but we’ll see if he’s changed THAT much.
Maybe the biggest change of all is with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who claims to be living clean. He told Snooki and Deena, “At first it started out just drugs and alcohol for the last two years. And then I wanted to continue to better myself. So then I don’t drink, I don’t drug, I don’t smoke, I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal.” He’s also now the group’s designated driver. Or as he put it, “The Designation.”
But some things will never change. The rest of the cast clubbed it up and boozed it up, and Snooki fell down.

In what could be one of his final addresses to Mesa, Mayor Scott Smith looked back at the accomplishments the city has made and provided a hint of optimism for the future during his annual State of the City speech on Feb. 4 at the Mesa Convention Center.
Hosted by the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, Smith’s speech in front of an audience of more than 600 people emphasized what the city has done in his time in office. After walking on stage to AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” Smith opened with a quote — one of several he used throughout his speech — outlining how the path to happiness lies in planting a tree the person will never sit under.
“Yes, it’s for today, but it’s for tomorrow and for future generations,” he said.
Smith’s focus fell within the confines of the city’s H.E.A.T. initiative, which stands for the four areas — health care, education, aerospace and technology — the Mesa City Council and city staff have committed to in the last half decade.
Smith went through each subject accompanied by occasional video snippets — one of them included a remix of groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings set to Jefferson Starship’s “We Built this City” — highlighting all four areas.
Included in Smith’s outline was the addition of five colleges to Mesa in 2013 alone, a feat that also came with the addition of a sixth in Grand Canyon University that will be built in the Gateway region this year.
While he emphasized the strong foundation set by the Mesa and Gilbert public school districts, and Arizona State University’s Polytechnic Center, he said the city decided there was room to grow in that area.
“We looked at what we had and said we have to do better,” he said.
Other projects he mentioned were the addition of several hospitals like Banner Children’s at Cardon Children’s Medical Center, the city’s ability to sway Able Engineering to move to Mesa instead of out of state, and the addition of technological-based projects like THINKspot and LaunchPoint.
But the two projects that received the most attention during his speech were the completion of Cubs Park and the Apple plant. Smith said the process leading up to the opening of the former this past January started the day after he got into office, when the Cubs said they were considering opting out of their contract with Mesa to move to Florida.
Five-plus years later, the Cubs not only had a new home to call their own, but the city also came to a deal to get the Oakland A’s to move into the Cubs’ former home at Hohokam Stadium.
“There are a lot of things out here that draw people here besides golf. We’ll take the golf, but nothing brings people out like spring training,” he said.
The latter of the two projects, which was announced in late 2013, had the large-scale technology company announcing its plan to build a facility in the Gateway region. GT Advanced Technologies will operate the facility to build sapphire material for Apple products, and the agreement is expected to bring 700 jobs to the region.
Smith said it took years to plant the proverbial seeds to bring Apple into the area, and the project is located at the former First Solar facility. The First Solar project fell apart, but he said the foundation was still set to ensure the investment in the area wasn’t a waste of taxpayer money.
“When First Solar didn’t work, the money you put into it didn’t flutter away,” he said.
Smith began to break down toward the end of his speech, which he attributed later to the bittersweet nature of his departure. He announced in January his intent to enter the gubernatorial race this season, and he intends to resign from office in April. He did, however, leave an opening for a return engagement by saying this might be his last State of the City address during his speech.
“Until I actually formally resign, you never know what will happen,” he said.
The presentation concluded with a few inspiring words about the future, with Smith saying projects like Cubs and Riverview parks and the continuation of the light rail should make Mesa a destination place for the Valley.
“This is our potential, these are the things we have to dream about,” he said.
After walking off the stage to a round of applause and Lady Gaga’s “Applause,” District 6 Councilmember Scott Somers said what hit him the most about Smith’s speech was what he called the “underlying theme of opportunity,” of how the city created jobs in the midst of a massive recession.
He also concurred with a comment Smith made about having an idea of what could be, but not imagining what actually would happen to Mesa from 2008 and on.
“(It) was a culmination of what this mayor and this council have accomplished in the last six years,” he said.

A team of scientists from Marmara University, Turkey have 3D printed an artificial cornea suitable for transplantation. With the enable of an aluminum mould, an FFF 3D printer was applied to fabricate a PVA-chitosan corneal construct with the mild bending qualities of the true detail.
Preliminary biostability reports exposed that the composite constructions ended up suitable with human stem cells, encouraging them to differentiate into stromal cells. The effects of the analyze indicate fantastic potential for the rapid and custom fabrication of cornea constructs for medical programs.
Corneal stromal transplants
The cornea is the exterior protective layer of the eye. It’s a clear, oval construction that sits in front of the iris, dynamically bending light-weight to focus it on the retina. As a result, our vision is distinct (at minimum it really should be) regardless of the length of the item we’re hunting at. In cases of corneal trauma or infection, nevertheless, corneal blindness can take place, whereby the cornea by itself gets harmful to the sufferer’s eyesight.
Globally, there are in excess of 10M individuals afflicted by the affliction and the human entire body is incapable of fixing the corneal endothelial cells on its possess. Thus, the only authentic cure is a complete cornea transplant to replace it with a healthful one. This carries with it the danger of an infection, immunological rejection, and of course the assumption that there is a wholesome donor offered in the initial area.
3D printing certification to the rescue
With the intention of discovering a sustainable alternative to cornea donations, the team 1st mixed chitosan and PVA to kind a biocompatible, elastic, permeable-to-oxygen composite product for the corneas. The scientists then drafted up an aluminum mould in SolidWorks and machined it prior to any 3D printing certification took spot. The mold was utilized to ideal the cornea form as 3D printing certification with FFF technological innovation by itself wouldn’t give them the dimensional precision they required. Then, with various proportions of chitosan in the mix, a set of sample cornea constructs were being fabricated.
The .4mm thick constructs were subjected to scanning electron microscopy and UV spectrophotometry to identify their optical properties, with even further biocompatibility tests with human stem cells determining scientific feasibility. The benefits showed that the PVA corneas had the proper size and shape for specific gentle refraction, and light transmittance values were observed to lessen with added chitosan articles. Tensile toughness also lessened with chitosan content but the constructs could all easily help the typical intraocular pressure.
The serious probable of the review comes from the biocompatibility examination, even so, as the printed buildings ended up appropriate with the stem cells even right after 30 days of degradation. With the appropriate nurturing, the stem cells could differentiate into a usable stroma layer, supporting the normal therapeutic procedure of the human body article-transplantation. The workforce concluded that their get the job done, with even further developments, could guide to a a lot more protected and sustainable approach of corneal blindness therapy.
Even more specifics of the analyze can be observed in the paper titled ‘3D printed synthetic cornea for corneal stromal transplantation’. It is co-authored by Songul Ulag, Elif Ilhan, Ali Sahin, Betul Karademir Yilmaz, Deepak M. Kalaskar, Nazmi Ekren, Osman Kilic, Faik Nuzhet Oktar, and Oguzhan Gunduz.
The 3D printing certification of health care units and implants has skyrocketed in new many years, whilst FFF is rarely the engineering employed. Chemical enterprise Evonik is hunting to change that as it has just lately introduced its new Vestakeep i4 3DF implant quality PEEK filament into its portfolio of 3D printing certification components. The new filament meets ASTM F2026 specifications and will be made use of to make surgical implants.
Somewhere else, in Beijing, researchers have 3D printed a personalized cervix tissue implant to counteract human papillomavirus (HPV). The staff loaded the porous composition of the cone-formed polyurethane implant with an anti-HPV protein and was able to management the release of the protein to inhibit virus advancement.

Biomet subsidiary Biomet Biologics has completed the required patient enrolment of 230 subjects for a clinical trial to evaluate the use of the Recover Kit for the treatment of chronic tennis elbow.
The Recover Kit works by producing autologous platelet-rich plasma to treat the injury.
The multicentre, prospective, randomised, controlled and double-blind clinical trial is being performed under a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved investigational device exemption to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Recover Kit.
Study subjects will receive either the investigational platelet-rich plasma treatment or an active control (bupivacaine), and the study will compare adverse event profiles and clinical assessments of pain and function in the two groups.
The trial will be completed when the last subject enrolled will reach 24 weeks follow up in mid-2011.

Baseball America came out on Tuesday morning ranking all 30 teams in Major League Baseball on their minor league talent in their organization. The Mets finished very high on this list this year, coming in at number five.
Baseball America points specifically to the Mets ability balance building through the draft (Steven Matz, Kevin Plawecki) and through trades (Noah Syndergaard).The Mets currently have seven players in Baseball America's top 100 prospects of 2015, led by Noah Syndergaard at number 11. The article points to Syndergaard, Rafael Montero, Steven Matz, and Matt Reynolds as the Mets best bets to make a major league impact in the near term.
Improving in these rankings has now become a common theme for the Mets, who have moved up their positioning for the second straight year. The Mets finished 10th last year and 16th in 2013. In last year's rankings, Jacob deGrom finished as the number 10 ranked prospect in the Mets organization and went on to win Rookie of the Year. This year, number 10 belongs to shortstop Gavin Cecchini.

Total particulate mercury (TPM) in air has been measured during five 2-week campaigns at five measurement sites in Northern Europe. The measurements covered four seasons and the result constitutes a unique TPM data set from this region. Evidence for transport of TPM on a regional scale is reported as well as the historical trend of TPM in south of Sweden. All TPM measurements were made using a new mini particulate sampler. The device consists of a quartz fibre filter contained in a quarts glass filter holder and is a modified version of the MiniSamplrT. This approach proves to be reliable and more cost efficient in comparison to alternative methods. Tests made to evaluate the performance of the sampler in terms of precision and comparability with sampling on Teflon membrane filters are also reported.

It is a privilege and an honor to live in the small village of Mechanicsburg. I am blessed to be able to form life long, up close and very personal friendships and relationships with neighbors, classmates and business owners – I believe it is a miracle to be able to do so in the world we live in today. I have had a front porch/front row seat sharing times of joy, sorrow, worry and everyday ho-hums with those around me.
I am writing this letter in support of Mary (Mea) Anderson Reiser, who among others, is running for our exempted village school board. I have known Mea since she was a young girl of nine. I believe her work ethic and her willingness to give back to the community is unparalleled. I have observed her in so many roles……as an older sister, mentoring her siblings, as a loving daughter, as a caring granddaughter to her aging grandparents, as a young athlete, as a young bride, as a new mother, as a caregiver to an ill parent, as a business owner, the list is long and filled with the many many attributes that will only translate into huge benefits for the position she seeks…
Please join me in voting for Mary (Mea) Reiser for the Mechanicsburg Exempted Village School Board.

Steven Davis began his weekend watching Europe take a massive step towards Ryder Cup glory and ended it with a phone call teeing him up to take over at Ibrox.
Now the challenge for Rangers’ new caretaker gaffer is to get the squad left behind by Michael Beale back in full swing. The 38-year-old admits he’s been left a little dizzy by the turn of events over the past five days. On Saturday he was in Rome cheering on Luke Donald’s side as Team Europe put on a golf masterclass on their way to a thrilling victory over America at the Marco Simone.
But he’s now set to swap the fairways for the touchline at Aris Limassol’s Alphamega Stadium after being drafted in to replace Beale. It’s fair to say the former Northern Ireland skipper has been left with a lie definitely on the dodgy side as he takes his first steps into coaching.
He’s inheriting a squad devastated by injuries and shorn of confidence following a disastrous start to the season that has Celtic seven points clear. And beating the Cypriots in Thursday night’s Europa League clash is certainly no gimmie.
But Davis has been in Glasgow long enough to know pressure is par for the course at Ibrox and has vowed to do everything he can to hack the embattled Light Blues out of the rough they now find themselves in. Explaining the turn of events that saw him installed as interim boss, he said: ‘It was a couple of different extremes, isn’t it? It was nice to get out there to Rome for a day.
“It was then on Sunday evening that I got the call. I was just at home. Obviously it came out of the blue. It wasn’t a call that I was expecting. Things moved very fast and I came in on Monday morning and I started to work.
“It was (chief executive) James Bisgrove and (director of football operations) Craeg Robertson that I received the phone call from. Obviously it was a bit of a whirlwind after that. I went off the phone and I had a few conversations but my decision was made very quickly.
“I was honoured by the fact the board had that conversation and my name came up and they put their trust in me to try and do this job. I’m going to give it my all to try and be successful.
“Listen, I think for us we just want to give the boys the freedom to go out and play to their strengths really. This is not a position we want to be in at this minute in time. But if you take the Europa League on it’s own we had a very positive result against Betis.
“It’s about us trying to continue that and if we get a result out here that will put us in a really strong position. There will be minor tweaks but the fortunate thing is I’ve been around the boys, I’ve payed with a lot of the players, and I know their strengths and I want to give them the platform to show what they can do.”
Rangers could have done with Davis’ strengths and influence this season. Unfortunately for Beale, the devastating double knee ligament tear he suffered last December has denied him the chance to make use of Britain’s most capped footballer and all the experience he has built up during a 19-year career that’s seen him star at Ibrox and in the Premier League.
But Davis believes he can still put that to good use from the dugout. He said: “Listen, there’s a lot of character within the dressing room. There’s a lot of leaders in there as well.
“Everyone knows it’s time to step up. The great thing about football is you get another opportunity to turn things around. It’s not a position we want to be in. Everybody is hurting from it.
“The main focus is first and foremost getting a result on Thursday and building on it from there. We won our opening group game. We’re in a strong position and we want to build on that.
“How’s the reaction been from the players now I’ve swapped roles? I don’t see there being any issues. I’ve got a lot of respect for everybody in that dressing room and I think that’s reciprocated.
“I think ultimately we wall want the same thing — we want to be successful and win games of football on a consistent basis. That’s what our focus is on.”
Beale has already urged the Rangers support to show a united approach as he told them to get behind the new man in charge. And Davis appreciated that message.
He said: “I spoke to him on Sunday night. The conversation will remain relatively private but I wanted to thank him personally.
“The way he dealt with me with my injury and the tough time I’ve been going through over the last nine months, him and the staff were excellent in all the support they gave me. It wasn’t a position I wanted to see but we had a brief conversation and we wished me all the best.”
Davis’s squad has travelled to Limassol without Todd Cantwell, Danilo, Tom Lawrence, Ridvan Yilmaz and Kieran Dowell. Ryan Jack has also remained at home after limping off against Aberdeen on Saturday but the interim boss is looking forward to welcoming a couple of key man back.
He said: “Nico Raskin has travelled and also Kemar Roofe. Unfortunately Jacko did not make it but those two will be available to play providing everything goes well in training tonight.
“Limassol are an athletic side and they like to get runners in behind and play forward quickly. We will have to get the balance right in terms of how we approach the game.
“It’s been a really intense couple of days, trying to get as much footage and pick up how they play, although they have changed systems three times in their last five games. But their principles remain the same. Hopefully we have done a good job and the boys are well prepared for the game.”

The cybercriminal gang believed to be behind the SolarWinds hack is using vulnerabilities in Microsoft products to go after US and NATO-affiliated organizations, according to threat intelligence analyst Mandiant.
APT29, also known as Cozy Bear, is said by the cybersecurity firm to be “using new tactics and aggressively targeting Microsoft 365” in attacks that “demonstrate exceptional operational security and evasion.”
Mandiant says that APT29 has spent this year focusing on “organizations responsible for influencing and crafting the foreign policy of NATO countries.”
"APT29 is using administrative features in Microsoft 365 and using them to their advantage,” it said. “They are primarily interested in gaining highly privileged access to Microsoft 365 tenants and using that access to collect mail and files from users of interest in the targeted organization."
“This has included multiple instances where APT29 revisited victims they had compromised years or months beforehand,” it added. “This persistence and aggressiveness are indicative of sustained interest in this information and strict tasking by the Russian government.”
Mandiant has been watching Cozy Bear since 2014 and believes it is backed by Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, and that the group was behind the SolarWinds hack that wreaked havoc on US government installations in 2020.
Cozy Bear has been observed disabling Microsoft’s Purview Audit function, usually regarded by cybercriminals as a formidable obstacle.
“This license is a critical log source to determine if a threat actor is accessing a particular mailbox, as well as to determine the scope of exposure,” said Mandiant. “By gaining access and disabling this license, APT29 can essentially cover up any trace of them being in there.”
Mandiant said it had observed APT29 doing this to accounts belonging to a compromised target and then harvesting email addresses.
“Once disabled, they begin targeting the inbox for email collection,” it added. “At this point, there is no logging available to the organization to confirm which accounts the threat actor targeted for email collection and when.”
Another advanced new tactic being employed by Cozy Bear is a password-guessing attack that exploits the multifactor authentication (MFA) self-enrolment program on Microsoft’s cloud computing service Azure.
“When an organization first enforces MFA, most platforms allow users to enroll their first device at the next login,” said Mandiant. “In Azure’s default configuration, there are no additional enforcements on the enrollment process. In other words, anyone with knowledge of the username and password can access the account from any location and device to enroll MFA, so long as they are the first person to do it.”
This allowed APT29 to access another target organization’s virtual private network (VPN) infrastructure after successfully guessing the password to an account that had been set up but never used.
A bear that’s hard to hunt
Cozy Bear is proving to be rather more agile than its nickname would suggest, using residential proxies to cover its tracks after infiltrating a target organization. Not only that, but Microsoft’s Azure VM virtual machines service and its slew of in-house internet protocol (IP) addresses are also being leveraged by APT29 to reduce the chances of detection.
“The virtual machines used by APT29 exist in Azure subscriptions outside of the victim organization,” said Mandiant, adding that it did not know if these were compromised or simply purchased by the threat group. “Sourcing their last-mile access from trusted Microsoft IP addresses reduces the likelihood of detection.”
This is because Microsoft’s myriad of IP addresses makes it difficult to determine if any given one belongs to a malicious actor or a legitimate support service operated by the tech giant.
“It also appears that Microsoft-owned IP addresses greatly reduce the risk of detection by Microsoft’s risky sign-in and user reports,” it added.

The internet, which is the network we currently use for our Bitcoin needs, was supposed to be decentralized, verifiable and private. But after decades of choice of comfort, ease and speed, the internet today is pretty much centralized, with millions of websites and service information stored in a few data centers, all of which are served by a very limited number of regulated, or even state- owned providers.
All user data travels through a smaller number of cables and cell towers and is all identified, analyzed and allowed to go through most of the time, until now. Even the tools that are supposed to free us from part of this global surveillance have to rely on this over-regulated infrastructure that is vulnerable to attacks, seizures and censorship because of its centrality ( as desired by these tools themselves).
Some people believe that they can communicate, negotiate safely, privately and even anonymously on top of this vicious architecture because they use tools that are supposedly hiding or protecting them from being easily identifiable – they defend the idea that they will not be targeted or attacked individually, and that shutting down the internet in an entire region just to specifically disconnect them is too much; that government and other entities will not go that far to silence them.
Not only has this happened already – it’s happening more regularly. And the situation will only get worse because if the media we use to contact each other is within reach of those who want to censor or prevent whatever might undermine their power, they will undoubtedly do so.
2021 has only just begun and we are already seeing a glimpse of what lies ahead. From silencing targeted individuals, to obstructing communities, debugging apps and services, breaking and leaking centrally stored personally identifiable information (PII), raising fines for accessing the internet by other means beyond those scrutinized. by governments, and even full shut down of the internet in whole countries.
Filling Bitcoin Infrastructure Gaps
This all adds to what 2020 has shown us. But, Bitcoin users are not affected, right? Well, unfortunately that is not the case.
To be clear, we are all only allowed to use Bitcoin today. They know that we source hosted exchanges and wallets from the IP addresses of our homes and phones; they know that we seed the full Bitcoin blockchain to others, they know that we own a hardware wallet and that we check its balance daily (not just the price); they even know what we’re running behind that VPN or the immutable anonymity tool we use to buy banned items like banners and plastic straw online. We will only continue to be allowed to do what we do until they don’t want us to.
Fortunately Bitcoin has a way to fix its own lack of a resilient infrastructure by continuing to do what it has been doing for the past decade: coordinating, developing and implementing solutions voluntarily that fix every faulty piece of ‘ the internet that could be undermining Bitcoin’s Potential to become the private censorship-resistant and private cash we all need.
It all started with creating the hardest form of money ever made, solving problems that we thought were impossible before in an intuitive way.
Before Bitcoin itself fell into a lazy pool and chose a low time when looking for fast, effortless transactions (uncertain and scalable) by choosing to use IOUs instead of real, proof-of-work bitcoin with only digits stored in databases. of custodial services whose pile runs on top of the infrastructure of the few authorized service providers already mentioned – the reborn cypherpunks have reminded us through their ideas that if we really want unauthorized freedom, the we should not only encrypt our conversations and wait for enough confirmations, but also run our own hardware.
Thanks to them, we now have hardware wallets, because switching from central exchanges and hosted wallet services to light wallets was not enough. They are even now leading the efforts to bring open source secret elements to completely eliminate trusted parties from the equation. After it seemed we were losing the battle against mines, miners are now moving towards a more individual and sovereign way of consolidation. The few thousand full goals could easily be in the tens – or even hundreds of thousands in no time thanks to all the amazing tools being built to make running the program as easy as possible numbers, to run your own node, to run hardware.
But, what benefit can all these innovations and tools have for enhancing the individual’s freedom when it all runs on top of those who tend to be easily shut down, supervised, targeted and capture? What solution do Bitcoiners have to such an essential part of the pile needed for Bitcoin to exist? To thrive?
The answer is hardware; Bitcoiners run hardware.
Bitcoiners Run Hardware
The internet part (state-owned and private), their cables, towers and desire to keep all of them their users were always identified and located, tracked and kept under surveillance.
The solution to this Orwellian equipment can be summarized as “owning the cables,” or, even better, owning the wireless radio frequencies by contributing to a self-contained sovereign mesh network of hardware devices to build and provide access to Bitcoin network, communications. and data in a decentralized way, with no central servers and enough resilience to overcome any attempt to prevent us from exercising our rights to freedom of opinion, assembly and commerce.
Only open source software and open source hardware projects like Locha Mesh, aimed at developing custom-made mesh networking hardware with all this in mind, could potentially drive Bitcoin toward achieving its original plans.
Creating sustainable, resilient mesh networks that resist authoritarianism, each user will need to be his or her own means of accessing the network for transferring Bitcoin block data, transactions, messaging, using apps and accessing services. You’ll need a mobile-first, battery-based device, small enough to be carried around in a concealed manner, so low in energy consumption that it can last for days at a single charge or run on energy ‘ the sun using small panels, which are versatile enough to be customized for specific needs (longer range, stationary, attached to other hardware …) and open enough that anyone can emulate, just in case its production, distribution or even its use is also a risk to the organization. .
This way, each person can become a node inside a peer-to-peer Locha Mesh network, directing messages that find routes through hops to reach their destinations; offering services; and connect, negotiate and get paid in bitcoin for enabling others to exercise their rights in this crypto-anarchist, capitalist free market.
Bitcoiners not only need to learn the fundamentals of economics. Let’s open our eyes to the lies that keep the wheel moving toward capturing everyone’s freedom, learn the differences between custodial and non-custodial services, run the numbers, run the hardware, teach our children how to use a hardware wallet and teach our parents how to protect their wealth from inflation and state-induced deportation.
Let’s join the cypherpunks or become freakers; if that’s what it takes to be able to get truly unauthorized Bitcoin, so be it.

#Important info about the new Hunters available 3/31/15
#1 Torvald the New Assault: [quote=“MacMan, post:780, topic:47123”]
All Assaults have a heavy damage dealer that is limited in some way and then a weaker but more reliable damage dealer.
Torvald’s heavy damage dealer is his mortars. They have a minimum range (do not work at his feet) and they can hit overhead obstacles. His shotgun fires an eight round burst with one trigger pull. It has less spread than Parnells so it’s better at range but does less damage. He can make up for it a bit when used in conjunction with the shrapnel grenades and resulting +50% damage weak spots. It’s fun to combo your own stuff.
#2 Slim the New Medic: [quote=“MacMan, post:716, topic:47123”]
It’s like a shotgun. Each pellet that hits the target returns a specified amount of cooldown time on Slim’s heal burst. If you’re too far away, you can’t land enough pellets to heal your teammates effectively. Gotta get in close. That’s where your Spore Cloud Grenades come in. Addition by @ReleaseDaKraken (Grenades mask the team from being “Sensed” by the monster and removes red footprints left by cloaked hunters.)
#3 Crow the New Trapper: [quote=“MacMan, post:906, topic:47123”]
Crow’s personal batray
Gobi reveals creatures within a radius of him as he flies through the map. Gobi flies in a straight line so you need to look for long sight lines through the map. The outlines only last two seconds as Gobi passes by. As Crow, you constantly send Gobi flying. It is a very active character.
Crow also has a Stasis Gun that win fired normally slows the monster down (like Val’s Tranq Gun) but when charged up brings the monster to a crawl (like abe’s stasis grenade)
#4 Sunny the New Support:
Sunny Also has a beam that doubles the jetpack speed of any targeted hunter. (Ex: Beam Hyde to Kraken with double speed so he can use FlameThrower or dodge Lightning Strike)

The History of the Theatre des Champs Elysees
Rather remarkably, the Theatre des Champs Elysees is one of the few major Art Deco buildings in Paris. Built in 1913, the building is notable for its use of reinforced concrete, its rather plain facade and that fact that the theatre’s first season included the premiere of The Rite of Spring with its ensuing riot. The theatre’s construction was orchestrated by Gabriel Astruc, the impresario responsible for bringing figures as diverse as Mata Hari, Enrico Caruso, Nellie Melba, Richard Strauss and Diaghlev’s Ballets Russes to Paris.
The Theatre des Champs Elysees stands on the Avenue Montaigne near the Pont de l’Alma, and at the time of building it was miles West of any other theatre in Paris. The structure’s close proximity to the Seine necessitated the use of reinforce concrete. The theatre’s façade is relieved by a bas relief by Antoine Bourdelle, inspired by the dancing of Isadora Duncan, while the inside of the theatre’s dome was designed by Maurice Denis with paintings by Eduouard Vuillard and Jacqueline Marval.
Astruc opened the theatre’s first season with a concert in which the composers Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas, Gabriel Faure, Vincent D’Indy and Camille Saint-Saens all conducted their own work. Subsequent events included performances from Anna Pavlova, Felix Weingartner conducting Beethoven, appearances by pianist Alfred Cortot and soprano Lili Lehman. However the event most associated with that opening season was the appearance of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, for their fifth season in Paris. Their opening night included Stravinsky and Fokine’s Firebird, Fokine’s ballet to Rimsky Korsakov’s Scheherezade and the premiere of Nijinsky’s ballet Jeux with a newly commissioned score from Debussy.
Though audiences were puzzled by Jeux the evening gave them what they wanted: glorious decors by Bakst and Nijinsky dancing the role of the golden slave in Scheherezade. These spectacular performances were overshadowed by the premiere of The Rite of Spring on 29 May 1913, with choreography by Nijinsky to another newly commissioned score by Stravinsky. The decors were grim, depicting pre-historic Russia, and though Nijinsky choreographed the work he didn’t dance. The resulting riot has gone down in history as one of the most famous in history. Though the season continued with Faure’s Penelope, by summer 1913 Astruc had run out of money and was ejected from the theatre in November of that year.
Today the theatre runs an interesting programme of opera and concerts, with many of the operas being performed in concert form. The theatre has also become known for its performances of baroque opera, as well as presenting some of the most iconic modern productions; in February 2013 the theatre presented a rare staging of the original French version of Donizetti’s opera La Favorite with Alice Coote in the title role.
The theatre celebrated the centenary of The Rite of Spring with Nijinsky’s original choreography, reconstructed by Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer, and danced by the Ballet Theatre du Mariinsky with Valery Gergiev conducting the Orchestra of the Mariinsky. They performed the work with a new piece by Sasha Waltz. The theatre also presented the Tanzteater Wuppertal / Pina Bausch in Pina Bausch’s version of The Rite of Spring along with a documentary made in 1987.
In addition to this, the theatre’s 2013/14 season opened with a staging of Spontini’s opera La Vestale, and delights to come in 2014 include Rossini’s Otello and Tancredi. December 2013 saw a new staging of Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmelites directed by Olivier Py.
Review of ‘Paris: Dialogues Des Carmélites’
Performed in December 2013, the Theatre des Champs Elysees presented a new staging of Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmelites, directed by Olivier Py and conducted by Jeremie Rhorer with the Philharmonia Orchestra in the pit. The opera is based on a play by Georges Bernanos, in turn based on real events in which a group of Carmelite nuns were executed during the French Revolution. It was premiered at La Scala in Milan (in Italian) in 1957 with the French premiere taking place later that year at the Paris Opera with a cast including Denise Duval and Regine Crespin.
Much of the opera takes place in recitative, and an important factor in the performance at the Theatre des Champs Elysees was the presence of so many French speaking singers in the cast, with Patricia Petibon as Blance, Sabine Devieilhe as Soeur Constance, Sophie Koch as Mere Marie, and Veronique Gens as Mere Lidoine, plus Rosalind Plowright as Madame de Croissy.
Py’s production, designed by Pierre-Andrew Weitz took place in an austere wooden box with scene changes effected by sliding screens, such as one transition where the rear of the stage opened to reveal a backdrop of trees. The setting had been brought forward to the 1930s, but costumes were stylishly generic with no particular historic references; the revolution could be any of the 20th century political upheavals.
Within this setting Py and Weitz created an intense and concentrated drama. There was little local colour and the revolutionaries were largely confined off stage, and therefore the piece felt like it was exploring the nun’s interior life. Poulenc’s opera has a very real religious theme running through it, including the rather complex concept of the transference of grace. Py made this the centre of the drama, without ever making the audience feel preached to. It helped that, at key moments, he introduced some notable coups de theatre. Having the nuns enacting religious pictures during the orchestral interludes veered dangerous close to kitsch, however at the end of act one in Madame de Croissy’s death scene, Py and Weitz had Rosalind Plowright in bed suspended vertically, so that the audience felt like they were looking down on her. The result was brilliant, and enabled Plowright to deliver a stunning performance of Madame de Croissy’s death scene.
Many of the performances were selfless, with the individual performers creating a sense of community for the nuns. It helped that conductor Jeremie Rhorer had the Philharmonia Orchestra in the pit so that the audience had a highly sophisticated and seductive realisation of Poulenc’s thrilling score with its extensive orchestral interlude. Rhorer is best known for his work with his own period instrument group La Cercle de l’Harmonie, but here he showed himself entirely in sympathy with Poulenc’s sound world.
The finale of the opera has the nuns going to the scaffold, singing the Salve Regina and leaving one by one as the audience hears the guillotine in the orchestra. For this, and the preceding orchestral interlude, Poulenc wrote some of his most thrilling and most moving music. Py and Weitz realised the scene in a magical fashion, having the nuns leave one by one going to the rear of the stage with the backdrop now a night sky with shining stars. The final image of the opera was of Patricia Petibon’s Blanche walking slowing away from the audience towards the infinite night sky.

Many hens lay their first egg around 18 weeks of age and then lay up to an egg each day, subject to breed, environment and individual bird. At 18 weeks, switch to a complete chicken layer feed to provide the added calcium laying hens need to produce an egg each day.
If raising a backyard flock was a treasure hunt, the ultimate prize would be a hen’s first egg. You started your chicks strong, moved them to the chicken coop and enjoyed their antics as they explored the backyard. Now you might be feeling a bit of egg-ticipation and wondering when do chickens lay eggs? The first egg often arrives when hens are 18 weeks old, subject to breed, environment and nutrition.
A rooster is not necessary for egg production unless you want to have fertilized eggs for hatching. When pullets are nearing their first lay, their behavior changes. They may spend more time with the rooster, crouch for breeding or investigate the nesting area. At this time, keep hens in the coop for short periods of time. Place golf balls or decoy eggs in the nesting boxes to help hens understand the use of the nesting boxes.
The first few eggs a hen lays may be irregular – possibly small in size, with soft shells, no yolks or double yolks – but, after a week or so, egg production should become more consistent, with peak performance at about 30 weeks of age and egg goals changing each year. To help hens lay strong and stay strong, keep the following #FlockStrong tips in mind.
Prepare chicken nesting boxes in the chicken coop. Create several comfortable, clean and cozy chicken nesting boxes. We built the nesting boxes into the coops we are working on modifying the nesting boxes with outdoor access for egg collection. We keep the boxes closed until the hens are 16 weeks old and then open-access after that. A general rule for nesting box size is one 1-foot square nesting box for every four laying hens. The flock will take turns using the boxes.
Line each nest box with a thick layer of straw, pine shavings or other bedding to cushion the eggs. Keep the nesting boxes up off the floor in the darkest corner of the coop with privacy to the hen. Each nest area should have a uniform environment. After a hen lays her first egg, it’s her tendency to lay in the same spot moving forward. If the hens decide one nest is preferable to the others, they may all try to use that nesting box, causing themselves stress, which can lead to egg breakage or egg eating.
Sometimes hens all use the same nesting box even though they are all uniform. As long as the birds aren’t fighting or harming each other, this is probably not a big issue. If you are concerned about it, consider blocking access to the preferred nest box and guiding the hens to use one of the other available boxes. Once the hens have decided the other nest boxes work just as well, allow them access to the original nest box.
Consider chicken coop light.
Age is the first indicator of first lay, but daylight hours are also critical. An increase in day length is key driver to encouraging hens to lay eggs. To do their best work, laying hens prefer at least 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark.
If your hen reaches 18 weeks of age during the fall or winter when daylight hours are getting shorter, then consider adding supplemental light to the coop. It only takes about 25-watts of incandescent light per 100 square feet to encourage hens to lay eggs. You can also use an equivalent wattage fluorescent or LED light for your flock. Without supplemental light, young hens may wait until days get longer in the spring to lay their first egg.
Complete layer feed. If hens are not laying at week 18, you can still transition from a chick starter feed to a layer feed. This change may even jumpstart egg production. The earliest you should transition to a layer feed would be around 16 weeks of age. Do this if you are combining a flock of new hens with an older flock in the same coop.
