- Navier-Stokes Equation, Reynolds Number, Cell Aspect Ratio
Research about hydrodynamic thrust bearing has been developed, the most concern is case about texture with several configuration. Numerical approaches using Reynolds equations and CFD simulation based on Navier-Stokes equations are a common method that used to analyze bearing performance. It is necessary to analyze the effect of thrust bearing geometry by using Reynolds and Navier-Stokes equation. Single-textured thrust bearing with several geometry by certain Reynolds number and cell aspect ratio was analyzed by CFD, and compared with the Reynolds equation. So that the thrust bearing with cell aspect ratio and Reynolds number configuration could be analyzed by both methods, we must configure velocity and geometry correctly.

The mum of an 11-year-old girl who fell through ice and became trapped in frozen waters has spoken out about the ordeal.
Teeanna Kennerdale was trapped along with her cousin after they tried to recreate a popular TikTok video at Clifton Woods on Saturday afternoon, February 13, when temperatures were freezing.
Teeanna went into the water after trying to help her cousin who had fallen through the ice and ended up being waist deep herself. She was stuck there for 38 minutes during the terrifying incident before being rescued.
Her mum Charlotte Kennerdale says her daughter was left "numb" and "screaming" in the water before the emergency services were able to reach her.
Ms Kennerdale, 29, from Clifton, told Nottinghamshire Live: "My auntie was fighting for her life over the weekend so she went for a walk with her cousin and their friend.
"They went around there to a public footpath just around the corner from our house, it's an area where a lot of people go for a walk.
"They saw the ice and how many other kids have done a TikTok video where they're on the ice, but they didn't get their phones out to do the TikTok.
"But they went on to the ice and my little cousin fell through, and my daughter then went on to the ice and tried to pull her out, before falling in herself.
"They then managed to grab on to a tree, with my daughter stuck in the ice for 38 minutes. There wasn't any passersby like the police said, we were the first on the scene.
"My daughter was up to the waist in ice water. She rang me and I was ten minutes away from home, so I rang my mum who was two minutes away and she arrived with my step dad.
"I then arrived and tried to get into the ice myself to help her because she was screaming, she couldn't feel her bottom half because it was all numb.
"But the ice was very thick and wasn't breaking.
"My daughter had to be brought out of the water on a raft, and she was wrapped up in blankets by the emergency services and we were kept in the back of the ambulance for an hour and a half."
Teeanna has been left badly shaken by the incident and with bruises all over her lower body - although it could have been a lot worse.
The incident was just a few hundred metres away from the area where 12-year-old Owen Jenkins tragically died after being dragged under by a strong current while trying to rescue two friends who had got into difficulty in the water at Beeston Weir in July 2017.
"She's in so much pain and I'm going to ring the doctor," Charlotte continued.
"She's got bruising from her toes up to her knees because she was in the water for so long.
"Her legs are so bad and she keeps crying, they're so swollen and I'm going to ring the doctors because she could have frostbite."
Police captured the incident with drone footage showing fire, police and ambulance crews all working at the scene.
Walkers in the Clifton Woods area told Nottinghamshire Live the area is often flooded - with the standing water turning into ice on colder days.
Dennis Hall, who walks in the area most days and lives in Clifton, said: "I heard about what happened.
"I did see a lady last week a bit too close to the water and I had to warn her that she could easily end up in the river if she slipped.
"It's very easily done, things like this.
"When I was a kid we used to come here all the time and you didn't have smartphones either and there were a few people who got into trouble.
"It could have been a lot worse and I'm glad they were able to rescue them."
Meanwhile, Hayley Wallace, 39, of Clifton, said: "We live locally and we come here quite often.
"We've never had any problems. It's pretty clear where the water is and where the path is. I'm glad both of them were OK."
One dog walker, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I think a lot of the problems are just kids messing around.
"I'm not exactly sure what happened on this occasion, but it's a really nice area and things like this happening are still really rare."
The mum of Owen Jenkins, who died in July 2017, said after the latest incident in the area: "When it comes to ice, children don't seem to see the danger. They just think it is a bit of fun.
"A lot of the ice looks thick but it isn't. Where the water is shallow it can be thick but when it gets deeper it is thin and that's where the difficulty lies and you can become stranded.
"There is no point even trying it because we don't have thick ice like in some countries. It is best to stay away - it is not worth the risk."

Angola Awards Offshore Oil Blocks to Total, ConocoPhillips
LONDON (Dow Jones Newswires), Jan. 24, 2011
Angola Monday granted rights in offshore blocks to western oil companies, reviving a licensing effort bogged down for over two years as prices rise close to a $100 a barrel.
In a surprise decision, Africa's second largest oil producer awarded blocks to French major Total and U.S. independent company ConocoPhillips, the companies said, among other winners.
Though it's offshore has yielded prolific oil discoveries in recent years, Angola suspended a tender for some deepwater blocks late 2008 amid crumbling oil prices.
A rebound in crude futures, along with technologies easing exploration in riskier geologies, have provided new appetite for the area.
Companies have, in particular, expressed interest for Angola's presalt--a layer of salt accumulated millions of years ago under the sea--that mirrors giant finds offshore Brazil.
A Total spokesman said, "We received an award of three offshore blocks, including two were we should be the operator."
ConocoPhillips said in a statement it has been awarded concessions to explore in two ultra-deep water blocks.
It's unclear if the awards were part of the tender that stalled in 2008 or a new round that was never made public. A spokesman for Angolan concessionary Sonangol couldn't be reached.

He avoided bans despite several instances of questionable behavior.
There are few Twitch personalities in the platforms history that have the influence to break 200,000 active subscribers, and a vast majority dont even attempt the feat.
Ninja set an astounding record in 2018 during Fortnites meteoric rise by peaking at more than 269,000, and it wasnt until three years later that anyone else eclipsed the 200,000 mark again. While Ludwig set a new record in 2021, it took an event unlike any before it to do so. Ludwigs 31-day subathon was organized as a calculated attempt at breaking Ninjas record, and just two years later, another streamer has imitated that very same feat with his own flair.
After a 30-day subathon of his own that concluded on March 2, Kai Cenat became the first person in Twitchs history to reach 300,000 subscribers. But unlike the people before him to reach 200,000, his efforts have come with numerous incidents that could have derailed the record-breaking performance.
Along with having multiple banned content creators on his stream, which is against the platforms guidelines, Cenat admitted he was given a warning for watching content from a banned streamer, iShowSpeed, and earlier this week, he appeared to be hiding sexually suggestive activity in plain sight. Over the course of the past three weeks, Cenat has continually toed Twitchs community guidelines as he racked up subscribers at a rate that few could even dream of accomplishing, and at times, Cenat has even crossed the line, blatantly breaking the platforms rules.
Yet he easily made it to the end of his subathon without facing any punishment from the platform, and its exactly what anyone watching would have expected. Despite numerous instances of questionable judgment that may have resulted in a ban at any other time, all evidence points to Twitch giving Kai Cenat preferential treatment while he went for history.
But the ugly truth is that all of this is less about Twitch understanding the historical significance of the moment. Its significantly more likely that this is about Twitch execs seeing dollar signs as thousands and thousands of people paid the platform for a 30-day subscription to Cenats channel.
Twitch did not respond to a request for comment regarding Cenats potentially guideline-breaking actions during his subathon.
After the end of February, Stream Hatchet, which collects data and statistics in the streaming industry, noted that Cenat set a record for the most hours watched on the platform in a calendar month with 43 million hours watched, averaging more than 66,000 viewers over more than 700 straight of airtime. The feat is unheard of. Even during Ludwigs subathon, he averaged around 42,000 viewers.
Related: Ludwig sends Twitch strong message after Kai Cenat breaks all-time subs
Cenats month was truly remarkable, and it makes him one of the most accomplished creators in the history of the platform. But dont get it twisted: Twitch held off on disciplining the creator during his subathon, when the platform had just as much to gain as he did through subscription revenue and publicity.
Kai Cenat isnt a stranger to toeing and even crossing the line on Twitch. According to StreamerBans, he has been banned four times on the platform, most recently days before his subathon. His most recent suspension was allegedly for smoking marijuana during a broadcast when he was in a state where it is illegal.
Over the course of his subathon, he committed a handful of questionable actions that could be seen as deserving of a ban.
As his subathon started, his first potentially ban-worthy offense that gained the attention of fans seemed like an innocent mistake on the surface. His friend brought a woman onto his stream by having her join a Discord call. As he started to speak to her, it came to his attention that she was banned on Twitch.
Having a banned streamer on your channel is against Twitchs rules and is a punishable offense. But the platform tends to have some leniency when creators dont know theyre assisting in a ban evasion and do what they can to remove the banned streamer from their content once they realize. For Twitch, it seems as though knowingly assisting in a ban evasion is an important element to getting suspended.
Though Cenat removed her from the stream quickly and went on to say that evading bans on Twitch is wrong, as soon as he was done apologizing for having the banned creator on his channel, he paused before saying free DEO. The phrase was a reference to BruceDropEmOff, who was banned on the platform earlier this year for ban evasion.
Uttering the phrase and following that with laughter strongly suggested Cenat was not in favor of Bruce being suspended from the platform despite the fact that he was banned for doing the exact thing Cenat was previously saying was wrong. The quick 180 indicates he may not have believed everything he was saying about the ethics of ban evasion.
Later on, Cenat showed further disregard for the platforms ban evasion rules when he appeared to call iShowSpeed, who streams on YouTube because he was banned on Twitch. Speed was apparently going through a breakup, and Cenat wanted to reach out to offer emotional support.
To try to cover up what looked like a clear ban evasion attempt, Cenat told viewers he wasnt actually calling iShowSpeed. Instead, he claimed that he was calling his friend John, who happened to also be going through a breakup at the exact same time and sounded like Speed.
Tripling down on the ban evasions, the 21-year-old received just a warning from Twitch for watching and reacting to a Speed clip. While Cenat was frustrated by the warning and seemed unaware that reacting to clips of banned streamers was against the rules, the ignorance is inexcusable considering Mizkif was suspended on Twitch last month for exactly that.
When added up, these events strongly suggest Cenat acted with reckless negligence, and thats assuming were giving him the benefit of the doubt. There comes a point at which claiming ignorance isnt valid, and given Twitchs recent track record for banning people like Mizkif for similar actions, these instances alone could have, under normal circumstances, resulted in a ban.
Perhaps Cenats most flagrant disregard for the rules was most recently, when he appeared to be touched inappropriately behind a bar by a woman who was standing next to him. While Cenat has vehemently denied that she was performing a sexual act on him, the video itself certainly suggests otherwise.
This isnt to say any of the young, budding Twitch stars’ offenses are so overtly despicable that he himself lacks any sense of character. Most of these situations would solicit a minor slap on the wrist, 24 hours to a week of vacation from the platform. Cenats career on Twitch shouldnt be jeopardy, but as an edgy 21-year-old streamer, he shouldnt be immune to punishment for transgressions that many other streamers have been disciplined for simply because hes doing a subathon.
Cenats subathon peaked at 306,621 active subscribers, according to TwitchTracker. With the base subscription costing $4.99, that figure represents more than $1.5 million in total revenue to be split between Cenat and the platform. That, paired with advertising money, as well as the free marketing and publicity the platform gains from the event, seems to suggest that Twitch would be highly incentivized to ensure Cenats subathon makes it all the way uninterrupted.
As a Partnered streamer, Cenat will likely earn more than half of that total revenue figure, especially when you factor in the more than 40,000 Prime Gaming subscriptions he received. But the massive lump sum of cash the platform gained from helping Cenat across the finish line cant be ignored.
Amazon acquired Twitch in an all-cash deal in the fall of 2014, and since then, some creators have become increasingly frustrated with changes in the platforms business practices, including reduced subscription revenue splits that were announced last year. As part of a publicly traded company, the subsidiary may have started to feel the building pressures to be profitable, as made evident by numerous changes to the way the platform displays and incentives advertisements, among other things.
In the past year, numerous Partnered creators have claimed the platform has forced them into contracts that require them to have a higher ad density, and some have even said Twitch staff came to the negotiation table with a significantly less friendly demeanor.
Ahead of his contract renewal, political commentator HasanAbi admitted he wasnt sure what to do about running ads because he was being forced to increase how many he ran. Meanwhile, variety streamer MoonMoon went as far as to say Twitch staff involved in his contract negotiations were lizard snake people.
The seeming relaxation of rules for Cenat during his subathon goes hand-in-hand with these other business changes even if it doesnt necessarily appear so on the surface. Remember, Twitch banned Cenat just days before this record-breaking feat, and if he watched Speed clips any other month of the year, theres a reasonable chance hed be banned for it.
Twitch seemingly giving Cenat a longer leash the past 30 days could have been because the platform was aware of how historic the moment was, but it seems more likely that the moment for them was a business opportunity, not a heartwarming representation of community growth.
As the platform has increasingly shown over the past few years and seems to have solidified by allowing Kai Cenat to get away with banworthy moments in his subathon, Twitch is beginning to look more concerned with its bottom line than cultivating a website built on its original core valuesbut let’s hope we’re wrong.

ROSEVILLE (WWJ) – Macomb County business owners attended a town hall meeting, Friday, hoping to keep the M1 Abrams tank production program alive.
Reporting from the event hosted by RCO Engineering, WWJ’s Pat Sweeting said representatives from one business after another stepped forward to explain how a proposed four-year government shutdown of the program would, in some cases, wipe out a large portion of their revenue.
Dan Olsen, who owns Bay Electronics in Roseville, said his business would be devastated if General Dynamics lost this program.
“Half of my employees are on the Abrams program. And, if it shut down, I would lose all my employees… So, it’s very important that it keeps running,” he said, adding that the Abrams tank program accounts for 40 percent of his business.
Olsen said Bay Electronics has been working on the Abrams tank since the early days of the program.
U.S. Congressman Sander Levin said legislation that would keep the Abrams tank program in operation at General Dynamics will come up for discussion within the next few weeks.
Levin said it’s important for U.S. lawmakers, going into that discussion, to know exactly what’s at stake should they okay a proposal to mothball the program.
For example, he said it could be costly to restart it.
“Absolutely, and the people who came here, the suppliers, made it clear: you cannot just stop and the restart without losing a lot,” Levin said.
Levin said Michigan would then face the loss of skilled personnel, who would be forced to look for jobs out-of-state.

"Within minutes of the demand there would be a tweet about low ratings

worse than he had ever done, blame the media for maligning him and the

Not a word more was spoken as they gathered the currants. Adam's heart was too full to speak, and he thought Hetty knew all that was in it. She was not indifferent to his presence after all; she had blushed when she saw him, and then there was that touch of sadness about her which must surely mean love, since it was the opposite of her usual manner, which had often impressed him as indifference. And he could glance at her continually as she bent over the fruit, while the level evening sunbeams stole through the thick apple-tree boughs, and rested on her round cheek and neck as if they too were in love with her. It was to Adam the time that a man can least forget in after-life, the time when he believes that the first woman he has ever loved betrays by a slight something--a word, a tone, a glance, the quivering of a lip or an eyelid--that she is at least beginning to love him in return. The sign is so slight, it is scarcely perceptible to the ear or eye--he could describe it to no one--it is a mere feather-touch, yet it seems to have changed his whole being, to have merged an uneasy yearning into a delicious unconsciousness of everything but the present moment. So much of our early gladness vanishes utterly from our memory: we can never recall the joy with which we laid our heads on our mother's bosom or rode on our father's back in childhood. Doubtless that joy is wrought up into our nature, as the sunlight of long-past mornings is wrought up in the soft mellowness of the apricot, but it is gone for ever from our imagination, and we can only BELIEVE in the joy of childhood. But the first glad moment in our first love is a vision which returns to us to the last, and brings with it a thrill of feeling intense and special as the recurrent sensation of a sweet odour breathed in a far-off hour of happiness. It is a memory that gives a more exquisite touch to tenderness, that feeds the madness of jealousy and adds the last keenness to the agony of despair.寡妇村完整版手机在线播放

The plump, well-fed little baby, on seeing her mother, as she always did, held out her fat little hands, and with a smile on her toothless mouth, began, like a fish with a float, bobbing her fingers up and down the starched folds of her embroidered skirt, making them rustle. It was impossible not to smile, not to kiss the baby, impossible not to hold out a finger for her to clutch, crowing and prancing all over; impossible not to offer her a lip which she sucked into her little mouth by way of a kiss. And all this Anna did, and took her in her arms and made her dance, and kissed her fresh little cheek and bare little elbows; but at the sight of this child it was plainer than ever to her that the feeling she had for her could not be called love in comparison with what she felt for Seryozha. Everything in this baby was charming, but for some reason all this did not go deep to her heart. On her first child, though the child of an unloved father, had been concentrated all the love that had never found satisfaction.

When Judy has by these means set him up again in his chair, with a white face and a frosty nose (but still clawing), she stretches out her weazen forefinger and gives Mr. George one poke in the back. The trooper raising his head, she makes another poke at her esteemed grandfather, and having thus brought them together, stares rigidly at the fire.台湾一剪梅22集在线播放

Pretty Eat-In Kitchen
Clean-lined cabinets and finishes play off feminine accents.
Sarah's original plans for this kitchen didn't include wallpaper — until she came across this pattern. "I loved the large scale and that it was a contemporary floral," she says. "And the silver is such a subtle metallic touch, it was just pure luck that it happened to work with my scheme."

Infants, Toddlers, Children & Teenagers are not all created equal.
Sometimes it can be harder than imagined to feed your child at any age!
That's where Kim comes in...
Kim has extensive experience feeding the most difficult children from newborns to 18 years old for a number of different reasons including:
Nutrition needs change throughout the life cycle. Hormonal fluctuations, chronic health issues, and injuries can have life altering effects. If the diet is left untreated, they can lead to poor intake, malnutrition, and a lower quality of life.
Kim can support clients (and their family's) implement diet modification, supplementation, and lifestyle changes with practical yet effective action plans for the following health issues:

Spider Eating Preacher
Eddie C. Campbell
Eddie C. Campbell developed his blues style at an early age on Chicago’s West side, playing venues like the 1125 Club with Muddy Waters, and the Alex Club with Magic Sam. He directed Jimmy Reed’s band for period of time and worked with Willie Dixon’s Chicago Blues All-Stars, Luther Allison, Koko Taylor, Willie James Lyons, Big Monroe, drummer Willie Buckner, Otis Rush, Mighty Joe Young, Little Walter, and harp player Pee Wee Madison. By the late 50's, Eddie C. Campbell's band was backing up Percy Mayfield, Lowell Fulson, Tyrone Davis, and Little Johnny Taylor.
His new CD Spider Eating Preacher on Delmark Records is a follow-up to his previous 2009 release, Tear This World Up. Eddie’s superb guitar style echoing with reverb can be heard throughout the entire album. He has a strong family backing with his wife and bass player Barbara Mayson, his son David Campbell on violin, and his godson Lurrie Bell on guitar, vocals, and harmonica. Rounding out this all-star band are Robert Pasenko on drums, Lurrie Bell’s keyboardist Darryl Coutts, Vuyani Wakaba on bass, Alexander Meija on guitar, Marques Carroll on trumpet, Chris Neal playing tenor sax, and Aaron Getsug on baritone sax.
At the age of 72, Campbell is still creating new music as 12 out of the 15 cuts on the new CD are original tunes. The only cuts that are not original are Ricky Allen’s “Cut You A-loose,” “Skintight,” a funky remake originally done by the Ohio Players, and the Jimmy Lee Robinson slow blues tune “All of My Life.” The song “Soup Bone (Reheated)” is a remake one of Campbell’s early 45s. He opens the CD with the up-tempo “I Do” and the title track “Spider Eating Preacher” backed by a first class horn section from Guy King’s Little Big Band. Chicago blues number “Call My Mama” sounds like a tune that could be belted out by Howlin’ Wolf himself, much like he did on “Smokestack Lightning.” Campbell’s vocals match those of the Wolf on this one. He doubles on harmonica on this tune as well as “My Friend (For Jim O’Neal).” “I Don’t Understand This Woman” has that strong Jimmy Reed influence with strong piano solos by Darryl Coutts. Coutts is brought to center stage once again with rich organ solos on the instrumental “Starlight” blended with Eddie’s echoing reverb on guitar. The funky instrumental “Brownout” showcases the unequaled horn section along with those familiar guitar riffs from Campbell, the master himself. The CD is completed with the two sensational blues tunes “Boomerang” and “Been Gone A Long Time.” He finishes this collection with the acoustic/harmonica number “Playing Around These Blues” with Lurrie Bell, discussing the evolution of their blues family.
The influence from the many legends Eddie C. Campbell has worked with over his long and rewarding blues career can be heard on this fabulous collection of tunes. It is one of his best yet! You simply can’t miss this CD.

Neuronal activation induces rapid transcription of immediate early genes (IEGs) and longer-term chromatin remodeling around secondary response genes (SRGs). Here, we use high-resolution chromosome-conformation-capture carbon-copy sequencing (5C-seq) to elucidate the extent to which long-range chromatin loops are altered during short- and long-term changes in neural activity. We find that more than 10% of loops surrounding select IEGs, SRGs, and synaptic genes are induced de novo during cortical neuron activation. IEGs Fos and Arc connect to activity-dependent enhancers via singular short-range loops that form within 20 min after stimulation, prior to peak messenger RNA levels. By contrast, the SRG Bdnf engages in both pre-existing and activity-inducible loops that form within 1–6 h. We also show that common single-nucleotide variants that are associated with autism and schizophrenia are colocalized with distinct classes of activity-dependent, looped enhancers. Our data link architectural complexity to transcriptional kinetics and reveal the rapid timescale by which higher-order chromatin architecture reconfigures during neuronal stimulation.

a, Diagram of 5C processing pipeline used to call significant constitutive and dynamic loops (bottom right) starting from 5C interaction frequency counts for all pairs of 4 kb genomic bins within queried regions across 4 replicates (from two litter/culture batches) of each condition (top left). First the local domain background signal is quantified using a donut expected model (Rao + 2014) and removed from the interaction frequency signal. Probabilistic modeling converts these expected-normalized interaction frequencies to an ‘interaction score’ (bottom left). For a bin-bin pair to be classified as looping, its interaction score must fall above a given ‘significance threshold’. For a looping bin-bin pair to be classified as ‘Bic-only’ the minimum interaction score of the Bic replicates must exceed the maximum interaction score of the four TTX replicates by a given ‘difference threshold’ (Supplementary Methods). Looping pixels not classified as Bic- or TTX-only are classified as constitutive (top right). Bin-bin pairs of the same class are then grouped into clusters if they are directly adjacent; clusters below a selected size threshold are removed from looping classification (bottom right). See Methods for more details. b, Scatterplot of the background-normalized contact frequency (‘Observed/Expected’) counts of looping-classified pixels in TTX and Bic conditions.

Istanbul woke up to a picturesque but paralyzed city covered with a white blanket this morning as heavy snow and cold gripped particullarly the European side of the Metropolis
Istanbul woke up to a picturesque but paralyzed city covered with a white blanket this morning as heavy snow and cold weather gripped particullarly the European side of the Metropolis.
Istanbul / NationalTurk – Traffic was congested in many key points of the city in the morning rush hours as troubles were frequently exacerbated by sporadic accidents. So far no casualties have been reported in these accident but material damage is expected to be very high.
One person reportedly died after slipping and falling to the ground in Fatih district. Many are reported to be hospitalized with broken limbs or bruises.
Snow height more than half a meter in many suburbs of Istanbul
In higher sections and in western and northern parts of the city, snow height reached half a meter. Working class districts such as Bağcılar, Esenler and Sultangazi were especially affected, while main highways such as O-2 and O-3 were also hit, despite the efforts of municipality workers.
The metrobuses, big busses with a fancier name – Istanbul municipality’s brilliant solution to traffic jams – which many Istanbulites trusted to reach their jobs, were also paralyzed, as services between Küçükçekmece and more central Topkapı were halted. Tens of thousand stuck in traffic. Buses were also unable to move in many crucial districts. Tens of thousands of citizens tried to reach their workplaces on foot.
In many locations, the situation was made worse due to citizens who failed to chain their tires or did not use snow tyres.
Flights from Istanbul Atatürk Airport cancelled
As of this morning, nearly 180 domestic and international flights from the Istanbul Atatürk Airport were canceled. Many passengers whose flights were canceled starting from yesterday evening had to spend the night at the airport.
Due to strong northeast winds in the Marmara Sea, many seabus and fast ferry services were also halted. These include ferries from the Yenikapı port and Bandırma, a city on the opposite side of Marmara Sea.
Istanbul weather will be slightly better in the coming days as forecasters have said the severe cold, which has seen officials in Turkey report Istanbul’s lowest temperature for 30 years, will continue to spread west, with extreme low temperatures expected to drop to minus double figures, with a risk of snow blizzards. Weather in Istanbul is at the moment snow shovers and -1 .


There’s a new traffic light in Fayetteville but it's causing some confusion for drivers and Scull Creek Trail users.
The light is at the intersection of North Street and the trail, between Gregg and Leverett Avenues.
If a pedestrian wants to take the trail across North Street, they are required to stop, press a button and wait for their light to turn green, while the street light turns red for drivers.
Despite signs explaining how to use the signal, some pedestrians say they are confused because the drivers are stopping on green and they aren’t sure if they should stop or cross.
Officers were stationed at the signal on Scull Creek Trail Wednesday as the new signal went into operation.
"There has been a little confusion, not so much for the motorist but more for the pedestrians, joggers and bikers that are crossing the road way,” said Cpl. Thomas Reed with the Fayetteville Police Department. “They are more confused than the motorists. The motorists know, it's a red light, ‘I gotta stop,’ and the joggers don't know, ‘Hey, I have to stop and actually press the button.’ The light will not cycle until you press that button."
The light was added after complaints from drivers and trail users and several accidents at the intersection. Police and city officials say it will just take time for people to understand the new rules.


The text message came through with the letters, “dvsn.” Did my friend just pocket dial me? No, it was a duo he thought I should check out.
Kempire Daily receives a lot of music submissions and suggestions all the time. We don’t usually get a chance to listen to everything, but somehow we downloaded their debut album, Sept. 5th. We have been hooked ever since. Just as mysterious as that first text message about them was, the duo has created the same illusive image around them. It forced people to focus on the music and not who they are. Go figure! In today’s music market, most new artists are image first and music later. Not dvsn.
The newly signed OVO Sound artists are from Canada and consist of music producer, Nineteen85 (“Hotline Bling, “0 to 100”) and singer, Daniel Daley. Their rise began this time last year when they released two tracks, “The Line” and “With Me.” The later track was played on Apple’s Beats 1 and catapulted the guys to new found fame.
It should be no surprise that the guys signed to OVO Sound because Nineteen85 has produced several tracks for Drake, most recently “Hotline Bling.” But if you expect their sound to sound anything like Drake then you would be completely wrong. Dvsn is almost a throwback when 90s R&B music was great and popular. A time when it was important for the singer to really understand and emote the lyrics he was singing.
Dvsn achieves success on this front because their album, Sept. 5th, is not only cohesive, but every track is impeccable from production to vocals. Is their music groundbreaking? No. But not every #Artist2Watch has to be incredibly innovative. I believe the goal is to be great at what you do and dvsn is great at creating and singing R&B music.
Dvsn is the dark horse to watch in the music industry right now because it is almost as if they came out of no where. We clearly realize that their journey hasn’t been an overnight journey. But dvsn, like Miguel has done, has gotten us excited again R&B music. Dvsn’s success is a clear sign that R&B music isn’t dead and the love for it either.
Dvsn’s Sept. 5th project is one of the best (if not the best) albums of 2016. If you want an album that you can listen to from beginning till end then this is the project for you. We’re excited to see what this new duo has in store.
You can catch dvsn live in Houston, Texas on Sept. 5th for a special One Night Only concert. The guys are also on Drake’s Summer Sixteen Tour.

A Marin Superior Court judge Wednesday rejected a last-minute bid by opponents of Measure R to keep it off the Nov. 4 ballot or require changes in the text and its supporting arguments.
The 11th-hour challenge was filed by Greenbrae lawyer Nancy McCarthy, a former Marin Healthcare District board member, on behalf of Linda Remy, also a former district board member, who has worked as a health policy analyst for the University of California at San Francisco. Neither McCarthy nor Remy could be reached for comment on the judge’s decision.
Judge Mark Talamantes gave McCarthy about 30 to 40 minutes to present her argument in court on Wednesday morning. The judge also heard counter-arguments presented by attorneys representing members of the Marin Healthcare District board and individuals accused in the suit of making untrue statements in support of Measure R.
Remy’s suit alleges that several of the statements in the ballot measure’s text, including some claims made by supporters of the measure, are erroneous.
Among the individuals that Remy identifies in the suit as having supplied false information in support of the measure are Supervisor Steve Kinsey, Supervisor Katie Rice, Marin County Superintendent of Schools Mary Jane Burke and Marin Community Foundation President Thomas Peters.
Measure R asks voters in the Marin Healthcare District to approve leasing the publicly owned Marin General Hospital for 30 years to a private, nonprofit organization that was created to oversee the hospital’s day-to-day operations. The district’s publicly elected board of directors ceded day-to-day control of the hospital to the nonprofit Marin General Hospital Corp. on the advice of consultants who recommended the district needed to insulate the hospital from political wrangling and win the trust of local physicians.
Talamantes rejected Remy’s petition both on procedural and substantive grounds. The judge said Remy missed the deadline for challenging the language of Measure R. California law requires that such challenges be made within 10 days of the time when the text is made available for public examination.
Talamantes noted that the writ of mandate that Remy was seeking could be granted only if there was proof that material in the measure was false or misleading. The judge wrote, “The petitioner has not come close to demonstrating that, based on clear and convincing evidence, the challenging statements are somehow false and misleading.”
Among the assertions McCarthy made during her oral argument Wednesday is that the new lease would permit the Marin Healthcare District board and the Marin General Hospital Corp. to transfer or assign the entire lease and operation and control of Marin General Hospital to a third party without approval of district voters.
Remy’s suit also asserts that the ballot measure has “low-balled” the valuation of the hospital assets by failing to include the $394 million in bonds that district taxpayers approved in November 2013 for construction of new hospital buildings.
Attorney Douglas Straus, who represented Supervisor Rice and two members of the Marin Healthcare District board, wrote in his response to Remy’s suit that Remy “is improperly using the courts as a political tool in her campaign against Measure R.” Straus also wrote that there is no requirement “that the District attempt to assign value to bonds that do not exist. Indeed, it would be impossible to do so.”
If the judge had granted Remy’s request for changes in the measure it could have created problems for Marin County Registrar of Voters Lynda Roberts, because Wednesday was the deadline for submitting Marin’s ballot materials for the November election to the printers.
Roberts said Wednesday, “Getting us a decision today will keep us on track.”
Reacting to the decision, Dr. Larry Bedard, chairman of the Marin Healthcare District’s board of directors, said, “As expected, the court threw out the frivolous lawsuit filed by the opponents of Measure R. Measure R guarantees that the hospital will continue to operate as a nonprofit, community-owned hospital with local control. Measure R enjoys overwhelming community support and we look forward to Election Day this November.”


The much-anticipated “Hard Knocks In Season with the Miami Dolphins” premiere is just around the corner, scheduled for Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on MAX. The documentary started filming after the Dolphins played in Germany during Week 9.
A surprising highlight from the trailer was the revelation of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s new hairstyle, which he unveiled during the team’s bye week—the amusing moment captured Tua showing off his fresh look to assistant coach Darrell Bevell, coincidentally timed as wide receiver Robbie Chosen approached the quarterback room.
The series, which has won 18 Emmys, will show everything, capturing the Dolphins’ story with Coach Mike McDaniel in his second year at the helm. The show will take us behind the scenes of the Dolphins’ thrilling offense, showcasing Tua Tagovailoa, star wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and running back Raheem Mostert. The talented defense, anchored by players like Christian Wilkins, Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Xavien Howard, Jalen Ramsey, and Jevon Holland, is also expected to be a focal point.
With new episodes scheduled to debut every Tuesday through January 9, just two days after the end of the 2023 regular season, “Hard Knocks In Season” is poised to capture the Dolphins’ journey. The camera crews started documenting the team in real-time ahead of their November 19 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Dolphins’ selection for this edition of “Hard Knocks” follows last year’s Arizona Cardinals’ in-season feature and the New York Jets’ training camp treatment in August. The Dolphins have a history with “Hard Knocks.” They were featured in 2012, bringing us memorable moments like Vontae Davis’ trade, Chad Johnson’s release, and the quarterback battle between David Garrard, Matt Moore, and rookie Ryan Tannehill.

3. Olive oil / Coconut Oil
Olive oil is a mainstay in Mediterranean cuisine. Years of studies have showed that people who live in the Mediterranean region (consuming olive oil in their daily meals) were healthier, with very small risks for developing cardiovascular disease. Men in the Mediterranean region are also well known for fathering lots of children, even up into very old age.
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats that help boost T production and long-term consumption can provide long-lasting virility. One study found that within two weeks of using olive oil as the main dietary fat source, T levels increased by as much as 17% on average.
Olive oil performs all these wonderful T-boosting effects in several ways. It has anti-inflammatory effects and promotes greater cellular receptiveness for testosterone. This oil is also excellent as an antioxidant agent, protecting cells from free radical damage. Make sure to add 1-2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to your daily salad.
Coconut oil is another healthy oil you should be getting more of. It mostly contains saturated fats, but don’t worry – there are numerous studies that show how saturated fats from coconut oil does not contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. The saturated fats are in fact effective in boosting T levels in the body and improving overall health.
Other benefits from coconut oil include increased metabolic rate (weight loss), raising levels of thyroid hormones, and enhancing cognitive performance.

I stood on the rubble in Nairobi, Kenya trying to take it all in. Just a few months earlier a
two-story school had been standing in this exact spot. Now there was nothing left but rocks and
piles of debris. Eight children had lost their lives and many more were injured.
Like many African villages, the roads are made of dirt and on rainy days mud flows thick through
the streets washing trash and human waste with it. It had been especially rainy and early one morning the school collapsed. The schools in these villages, or “slums,” are not government supported schools, rather, they are run by the local village and even with nominal school fees many families cannot afford it. The children who had attended this school were actually achieving quite well. They were scoring equally or better in testing than children in the government schools. But being a school in a slum, it was not built to hold up against the elements…and it collapsed.
I had never seen this kind of poverty in the U.S. Yes, poverty exists all over the world, but abject poverty to the degree that exists in some countries is unfathomable to people who live in the developed world. In villages like this one, families struggle to meet basic needs and children are left to have sex in order to obtain money for necessities like food and feminine supplies. A child compelled to exchange sexual activity to meet basic needs is a form of sex trafficking.
Many people still envision kidnapping when they think of sex trafficking. However, the truth is that kidnapping is quite uncommon. Cultural, economic, and other factors play a role in shaping the manifestation of human trafficking causing the sex trafficking of children to look different depending on geographic areas. Young people in developing countries are forced to exchange sex to meet basic needs, Thai families sell their daughters to traffickers in order to support the rest of the family, and in Nepal and India, young people desperate for employment are trafficked when they leave home for what they believe to be a legitimate job offer.
It might seem surprising, but in the U.S. many juvenile victims of sex trafficking repeatedly run away from home or other living arrangements and return the life of exploitation. Traffickers use social media to offer young people “love,” affection, a sense of belonging, drugs, etc. There is no need to kidnap a child or teen when it is much easier to manipulate them into willingly leaving home to be with you and to a 14-year-old child, the trafficker’s offer is tempting. In 2018 data from Charlotte, NC, 75% of victims of human trafficking under the age of eighteen had a history of running away. Even after being found and returned home, these youth frequently return to their trafficker because the manipulation by the trafficker is so powerful it results in what is called a trauma bond. Some children run away escaping abuse or as a response to previous trauma. Child sexual abuse has been shown to be the strongest predictor of future sexual exploitation (Bagley & Young,1987; Basson et al., 2012; Landers et al., 2017; Reid et al., 2017).
The U.S. passed Federal legislation defining and prohibiting human trafficking twenty-two years ago and much had changed since then. But two things remain constant: 1) The stereotype persists that child are kidnapped for sex trafficking and 2) sex traffickers and sex buyers don’t have to kidnap children when they are skilled in exploiting the vulnerabilities of young people.
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Let’s take some time to educate ourselves about what human trafficking really is and how we all have a part to play in combatting it. You can host a training for a local group, volunteer with an anti-trafficking nonprofit, send feminine supplies to organizations working in developing countries, etc. The list is long and children and youth around the world need our support.

Physical rehabilitation is the main treatment for motor disorders. Yet we are far from understanding the essential principles of rehabilitation training in adults, and know even less about children. Our long-term goals are to identify critical features of the motor learning process, understand how they change during development, and discover how to optimize them for rehabilitating children and adults with hemiparesis. Here we focus on optimizing motor learning during split-belt treadmill training, a technique that shows strong promise for producing dramatic improvements in walking patterns. We have shown that deficit exaggeration during split-belt training can correct walking deficits in children and adults with hemiparesis. Specifically, exaggerating the problem by making one leg walk faster than the other drives the nervous system to adapt, and this improves walking patterns when the person returns to normal conditions. We believe that split-belt deficit exaggeration could become an important clinical approach. However, there are two critical motor learning features requiring further study to guide clinical application. First, we need to optimize generalization from split-belt walking to walking under natural conditions. Split-belt adaptation generalizes only partially to natural over-ground walking. This is a common problem with any device or robot based training strategy, where training conditions do not match real-world contexts. Thus, we will study how manipulating the sensory context with virtual reality and changing attention to the movement influence generalization. Second, we need to optimize retention of adapted walking patterns, in order to produce long-term improvements in natural walking. In previous experiments, adaptation faded within 10 20 minutes. In the proposed experiments, we will study how attention and training schedule can be used to extend retention. In all three aims, we will assess effects of age (3-adult) and presence of hemiparesis from cerebral damage. Overall, we believe our results will show how deficit exaggeration during split-belt treadmill training could be used to produce long-term improvements in natural walking.
Walking disturbances are some of the most common problems for people with brain damage. In this grant, we will work to understand how split-belt treadmill training can help people learn to improve their walking patterns.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The 2002 Portland Sea Dogs finished 63-67 and didn’t bring a whole lot of talent to Hadlock Field.
But there was the kid at first base.
Adrian Gonzalez began his only season in Portland as a 19-year-old, a prospect with outrageous potential.
Now he’s back in New England, 28 years old and ready to use his gifted swing to lead the Boston Red Sox.
“He’s going to wear out the Green Monster,” Matt Raleigh said, referring to Fenway Park’s left-field wall.
Raleigh was the hitting coach for Portland in 2002, the last year the Florida Marlins were affiliated with the Sea Dogs. It was his first coaching assignment and in walked the young Gonzalez, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2000 and the recipient of a $3 million signing bonus.
“One of the best hitters you could possibly have,” Raleigh said. “He has such an easy, effortless swing. He has the ability to go the other way.
“Back then he wasn’t a big guy, but he could create a lot of power with his swing.”
Gonzalez got off to a slow start, but still batted .266 with 17 home runs and 96 RBI.
Gonzalez remembers Portland.
“It was cold,” said Gonzalez, a San Diego native. “It was tough because of the weather.
“Then it started getting hot and I started getting good. But then I got hit and it backed me up again.”
For a five-week stretch in June and early July, Gonzalez was batting .309, but then was hit on the wrist by a pitch.
He played through the pain, missing only two games, but probably should have sat. Gonzalez needed surgery on the wrist after the season.
“It set me back quite a bit,” Gonzalez said. “It took me a good year and a half to two years to get back to 100 percent.”
Still, Gonzalez had quite a year, even with the wrist injury.
“Adrian was pretty impressive,” said Anthony Iapoce, 37, a Sea Dogs teammate of Gonzalez’ and now the minor league hitting instructor for the Toronto Blue Jays.
“He was ahead of the game mentally, always figuring out what the pitcher was trying to do.
“He was very patient for his age. He also played a heck of a first base. He was always talking about the game. He had baseball maturity and baseball savvy.”
And he liked to work.
When Gonzalez was first drafted and signed out of high school, he was assigned to the rookie Gulf Coast League team in Florida. His manager was Kevin Boles, the newly named Sea Dogs manager.
In 2000, Boles got a tip that Gonzalez was sneaking out at night — to take extra batting practice.
“He was going to batting cages and putting quarters in the machine,” Boles said. “He said, ‘I’m used to taking this many swings.’ That’s the kind of work ethic and makeup this kid had from Day One.”
Boles put a stop to the night-time batting practice, wanting to keep the prized prospect from wearing down.
“I still have my reports on him from back then,” Boles said. “I put down ‘franchise-type first baseman. Offensive force. Multiple Gold Glove winner.’
“And the swing? It was beautiful.”
But the Marlins didn’t wait for Gonzalez to develop. He was traded in July 2003 to the Rangers in a deal that brought closer Ugueth Urbina to Florida, helping the Marlins win the World Series.
But Texas already had a first baseman named Mark Teixeira. Eventually, before the 2006 season, the Rangers traded Gonzalez to San Diego.
In the past five seasons with the Padres, he batted .288 with 161 home runs and 501 RBI.
Now he brings his act to Boston. Portland fans and teammates can recall his last time in New England.
“I just remember him driving the ball to left-center at will,” Iapoce said. “And he loved to drive in runs.”

About this product
- DescriptionDavid Zieroth's Albrecht Durer And Me, an autobiographical travelogue spanning the author's journeys through central Europe, explores the transformative effect of dislocation. Inspired by and responding to art and music, history and war, architecture and place, this collection unearths kwledge that can only be realised by leaving home. Throughout the book, the observant eye of a visitor witnesses the layering of history and the contemporary, and contemplates the juxtaposition of the practical aspects of travelling ( ise ) with emotional and spiritual evolution ( Nude self-portrait ). Responding to greats such as W H Auden, James Joyce and Albrecht Durer, the speaker expresses how viewing foreign artwork or hearing unfamiliar music can spark a new awareness, t only of international culture, but of the expression of life and the human condition. The poems temper the high with the low, reflecting the many dualities of wanderlust. Stately homes are contrasted with war-scarred architecture, and sleepless nights, crowded trains and missed connections offset literature and symphony. Berlin Album reflects on the stains the past has left on modern-day Germany: church bells at 6:00 p.m. / from spires on Borsigstrasse / pass an iron sound through rippled windows / so my body vibrates, and remembers / bullet holes in stone walls along the Spree. on first hearing Mahler's Fifth echoes that musical composition to mirror and evoke life's song and weeds grew while I was away describes the shock of returning home with the expectation of stasis only to find that things have changed. Attentive, humble and expertly crafted, Albrecht Durer And Me is a travel diary rife with evocative image, sensory detail and eloquent reflection, narrated with an honest, mature voice.

England’s 6-0 victory in Bulgaria this evening in European Championship qualifying was marred by racism from the home fans directed towards Three Lions players including Raheem Sterling and Tyrone Mings.
As we are sadly aware, this is not the first time our players have been subjected to this level of abuse and there is no place for this kind of behaviour in society, let alone in football.
We will be asking @UEFA to investigate as a matter of urgency.
— The FA (@FA) October 14, 2019
Boos and monkey noises could audibly be heard, while some supporters held up banners saying ‘no respect’ in a clear attempt to mock UEFA’s ‘respect’ campaign designed to stop racism in football.

Some fans also were shown on television doing Nazi salutes.

England boss Gareth Southgate and his assistants followed the UEFA protocol to the letter and conducted themselves perfectly. England players including Jordan Henderson also attempted to liaise with the officials, and did so in a calm and collected manner.
The game was halted a couple of times in the first half, first for a tannoy message to supporters to tell them to stop and then again when the racism continued. Sadly, it was not a massive surprise and England’s players had prepared for such an event.
Over the years, the ridiculously lenient punishments dished out for racism have contributed to incidents like these becoming commonplace, even in 2019.
Football simply has to take a stronger stance on racism and England should be applauded for standing up to the abuse. Now, the gauntlet is firmly placed at the feet of UEFA for them – at last – to make a much stronger line on the issue.
Something, quite simply, has to change, and quickly.


This little girl has certainly captured the mood of Beyonce’s new single ‘Sorry.’ Kaylah McDaniels was recorded while dancing to the hit song earlier this week and garnered the attention of many social media users.
The youngster exhibited incredible attitude as she acted out the lyrics to the hit. Kaylah did such a great job of portraying the song’s theme that Zendaya retweeted the video footage along with the caption, “Moooooooood.”
While many complimented the little one on her ability to capture the moment of a song such as ‘Sorry,’ a few have expressed concern over Kaylah being allowed to listen to Beyonce’s new album. ‘Sorry’ can be characterized as a break-up song and features language that is not necessarily conducive to a toddler. In fact, the bridge of the tune has Bey singing,
“Middle fingers up, put them hands high
Wave it in his face, tell him, boy, bye
Tell him, boy, bye, middle fingers up
I ain’t thinking ’bout you”
Regardless of the opinions and concerns of some, Kaylah looks adorable while grooving to the song. Check her out!
