The help is accessible online by Net address. The customer services representatives’ existence to answer the user’s specific query is unfortunately not met. The system does not allow SMTP, which is a short message peer-to-peer relay. The previously answered questions are displayed and conveniently can be downloaded for reference.
Customer Services People
Usually, the customer services help is not frequently inquired. The country-wise representatives are not located in person at the front end desk. However, when the need arises to contact the query and any further facilitation, the direct dial to the United States of America pops out on landline numbers. However, time zone differences and heavy-to-pocket call rates at the international level hinder the on-hand capacity.
The users can proactively choose to draft two emails at once on the credit of the composing feature. On any browser, it may be a draft email. However, the composing element comes with a shortcoming that is still there and not overcome by Net address. The message sent by utilizing this composting facility is sent a plain transcript devoid of any formatting. Thus, the purpose of sending the effective email is not served.
Anti-spam with advanced technology is claimed by the service provider service to protect the inbox from incoming spam messages. The general review of the user is quite contrary to the self-claimed feature based on their individual experiences. The system is not functioning appropriately; spam messages are frequently received in the junk box.
The user interface is interestingly user-friendly. The interface is clear, concise, consistent, thorough, responsive, efficient, easy to learn and use. The menu and buttons are placed at a place which the eye is catching to explore at ease.
There are many ways in which Net address is better than other services providers. The foremost drawback of any technology-related services providers is to modernize the system and bring the novel and user-friendly tools after some research and development is recommended in the contemporary world. The net address is far behind here in introducing and updating the established system.

The ACLU is suing the U.S. Department of Customs and Border Protection's Los Angeles office for information about how LAX border patrol agents enforced President Donald Trump’s executive orders on immigration.
The ACLU’s lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, aims to get CBP to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by the organization in early February. ACLU border litigation attorney Mitra Ebadolahi told KPCC that, since then, the ACLU hasn't received a response in a timely fashion as required by law.
“This issue is of the utmost sensitivity and it is very time sensitive,” she said. “The longer we wait, the less helpful the information is for the public in assessing the ways in which Customs and Border Protection is exercising its authority.”
This suit is one of 13 FOIA lawsuits filed by ACLU affiliates across the country, according to a statement issued by the organization. The Southern California suit seeks records on CBP’s implementation of executive orders at LAX and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
“When Trump imposed his first Muslim ban, Customs and Border Patrol agents at LAX not only detained travelers for hours without proper access to food or places to sleep, they also withheld crucial information from family members and legal representatives,” ACLU attorney Devon Porter said in a statement. “CBP is a government agency. The public has a right to know why they implemented President Trump’s orders in a way that created such havoc.”
In January, Trump signed an executive order temporarily barring citizens and refugees from seven mostly Muslim countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — from entering the U.S. CBP's detention of travelers at LAX and airports around the country led to several days of protests.
At the time, attorneys for detained travelers told KPCC that LAX border agents asked detainees to sign forms giving up their legal residency status.
The CBP declined to comment, telling KPCC that the organization does not comment on pending litigation.

The second case of infection with coronavirus, whose source is not identified, recorded in San Jose, County of Santa Clara, California. It raises concerns about the spread of infection in the community.
Public health officials have confirmed that California was the second was a case of “inexplicable” in the early stages when the person has an infection without obvious signs of how the virus was transmitted. About it reports USA TODAY.
The data obtained can say that the coronavirus may have to circulate locally in California, handed down from person to person.
Nation's second case of 'unexplained' coronavirus emerges in California https://t.co/aGhh7KUDPh
— USA TODAY (@USATODAY) February 29, 2020
Officials in San Jose said that the patient is an elderly woman with a chronic condition, which has no travel history or any known contact with a traveler or an infected person. This happened two days after government officials said that the woman in Solano County contracted the disease after an unknown contact.
“This new case indicates that there is evidence of transmission from the community, but the extent is not yet clear, said Dr. Sara Cody, health officer and Director of the health Department of the County of Santa Clara. – This event indicates us that it is time to change our response to the new coronavirus”.
While existing prevention measures such as the establishment of contacts with the infected patients worked, Cody said that institutions “need to add the other tools of public health”.
“What we know now, is the fact that the virus is here, is present at some level, but we still don’t know to what extent”, – said Cody.
New infection in the County of Santa Clara opens another worrisome Chapter on the effects of coronavirus on concerns about health in the U.S. and other countries.
The last case concerning women aged 60 years, says the escalation of a worldwide outbreak in the US, because it means that the virus could spread beyond preventive measures such as quarantine. However, state health officials say the risk of widespread transmission remains low.
Employee of public health Solano County Dr. Bela Matias said officials have identified dozens of people who had close contact with an infected woman. According to Mathias, they are placed in quarantine in their homes, and some of them have had symptoms are in isolation.
In addition to the women from the counties of Santa Clara, and Solano, still recorded 60 people in the US with COVID-19 either travelled abroad or had close contact with others.
Earlier cases in the United States included 14 people, who returned from the epidemic foci in China, or their spouses; 3 people were evacuated from the Central Chinese city of Wuhan; and 42 American passengers from the cruise ship Diamond Princess.
The global tally of cases this virus on Friday was 84 128 people. The number of deaths is 2867, most of them in China.
Hundreds of Americans that could be exposed to the virus in Asia, was isolated at military bases in California, including air force base Travis in Solano County.
The complaint of the informant, released on Thursday, argued that Federal health officials were sent to the quarantine zone at the bases without proper training or protective gear, and then they were allowed to wander around on the bases and beyond.
The virus can live for days on surfaces (CDC)
Meanwhile, official representatives of the US Centers for control and prevention of diseases on Friday at a press conference in California, spoke about the coronavirus, including how long it may remain on the surface.
The official CDC at a press conference said that the virus can live for many days on the surface, but there is good news – the virus is easily killed with cleaning products. Moreover, officials do not believe that people usually become infected by touching contaminated surfaces for a long time.
The virus can cause fever, cough, wheezing and pneumonia. The health officials believe it spreads mostly from droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, like the flu spreading.
This news encourages residents of local communities living near the last of the infections, take extra precautions.
“I’m definitely going to wear a mask and gloves at work because I work with people”, – said Vacavil, an employee of the bowling alley in California Denise Arriaga.
The woman said she didn’t care if it will be criticized for extra precautions.
“In the end, it’s my life”, she said.
As reported by the New York Times, the world health organization (who) said the virus found at least 56 countries at the moment is “very high” global risk. But the White house has accused the media in that they spread fear to make painful President Trump.

Theresa Caputo wasn’t comfortable – at all – with husband and son (the Larrys) decision to try skydiving in the Long Island Medium Season 3 episode of “The Flying Larrys.” In her familiar Long Island tone, Theresa quipped, “People’s feet are made to stay on the street.”
Long Island Medium
She lost that battle and the boys headed to Skydive Long Island, Theresa in tow, along with their life insurance policy “up to speed.” While Theresa believes “no mother wants their child to go skydiving,” she did try to ensure their ultimate safety. As they readied for their jump, Theresa was over the top checking tether lines, drilling the instructor on details and making Larry Sr. and Jr. both nervous and annoyed. But that’s what makes following the Caputo clan enjoyable.
Later, at a private home reading at their home, a woman named Jessica drove in from Delaware seeking closure on the passing of her young daughter. Theresa, unaware of the young mother’s intentions, immediately asked Jessica if she had a daughter who passed when she was young.
“Do you still have the nightgown she died in? Do you have a locket of her hair? Did you bury her with her blanket? Did you know that something was wrong when she was born, but she looked fine? She was telling me her lungs weren’t fully developed and her heart just stopped,” Theresa explained.
Jessica confirmed that her daughter, Payton Elizabeth, had died when she was just 24 days old, and her death was somewhat of a medical mystery.
“Tell my mom I’m not cold,” Theresa told Jessica, not realizing what that meant. Jessica explained that the morning Payton died she didn’t know how to get her warm. Jessica blamed herself for not waking up earlier and possibly being able to help save her. Theresa confirmed there was nothing she could have done to prevent this and then added the unbelievable. “She also talks about a boat,” Theresa said, and that the boat was named after Payton as a way of “daddy honoring me.” Theresa told Jessica that her daughter didn’t want Jessica to be mad at her husband for buying the boat and that this was just his way of grieving. “Your daughter gave you what you needed to hear.” [Grab your Kleenex here.]
An amusing and emotional trip to Grill 454 in Commack, New York, followed, where Theresa was called in to address unusual spirit activity. Theresa was introduced to the restaurant’s manager Cyrus from Zimbabwe and owner Lenny Passarelli. As Theresa walked through the restaurant using sage and asking for any negative energy to be dismissed, Cyrus shook his head in disagreement.
“Going through the restaurant using sage with a feather — that’s a bunch of bull,” he said. “My main concern is customers seeing this malarkey going on and they will just walk out.”
But as we know, when it comes to Theresa, skeptics usually get called out and on this particular day it was about Cyrus. Theresa asked a group of employees at the restaurant if someone was hit by a car. Cyrus explained that 14 years ago a very dear friend of his was killed in a car accident and when he moved to the U.S. he left that “road and the place where her life was lost” behind him. “Did you speak to her family?” Theresa asked him. “Just yesterday,” Cyrus confirmed (something he hadn’t done in over 10 years). Theresa told Cyrus that this was spirit as they know who she will be in contact with. She told him she didn’t suffer and validated the spirit connection by calling attention to a book with a message in it that was given to Cyrus by the parents of his deceased friend. It was enough information to make Cyrus believe that maybe mediums aren’t a bunch of malarkey.
In Season 3 episode “My Keys Now,” Theresa and Larry had second thoughts about Victoria driving after she was in two car accidents in a week span. “Who has two car accidents in one week? I think everywhere she looks is a blind spot,” Theresa said, taking Victoria’s keys from her. “I feel like I’m just protecting society now. Until she proves that she is going to drive a little safer, no keys.”
This resulted in a comedic — although a bit more staged — segment where the entire Caputo family attended a six-hour Defensive Driving Class. Larry Sr. truly was the teacher’s pet during class time and Victoria (who reminds me more and more of Meadow Soprano provided the snarky commentary). Theresa struggled with dealing multiple spirits, explaining when 10 or 15 people are in a room that “equals like 100 or 150 spirits,” and the loudest one typically prevails. During a classroom break, Theresa announced herself as a medium and asked the group who lost a sister or best friend. A young girl named Brittany who lost her best friend, also named Brittany, stepped forward. Theresa validated the spirit connection by acknowledging that Brittany carried a picture of her best friend in her bag. “I feel like someone was in an accident and walked away from it, she shows me a car completely mangled and you walked away from that,” Theresa said. Brittany explained she was in a different accident where the car was totaled but she was unscratched. “This is her way of acknowledging that she protected and saved you.” I’m sure that shot her concentration for the remaining portion of class.
Later in the episode, Theresa had a private reading with a woman named Renee, who lost her dear friend Andrew. Theresa asked: “Who is the young person who passed and you sang at their funeral? … Did you write a song about him? … Do some people think he took his life?” Theresa told Renee that Andrew’s passing wasn’t intentional, Theresa said he was giving signs as if he needed to veer off the road or fell asleep while driving. “He actually just leaned over and kissed you and said he’s sorry for leaving you…. Did you just get the chills? That was him.” Theresa said Andrew was at peace learning lessons on the other side.
Then it was on to another group reading where typically one spirit stands out more than the others, this time a message needed to be delivered to Andrea, a 25-year-old who lost her mother. Theresa immediately approached Andrea with a message from her departed mother who died at age 42. Apparently, Andrea’s mother was up to speed on her current relationship with her boyfriend, as well as, Andrea’s struggles on determining if she should move in with him or not. Theresa told Andrea about this and that her mother supported the decision and would be with her the day “she says I do.” Theresa said her mother was still upset that her daughter had to grow up without her, and thanked Andrea’s stepmom Tina (also present) for “always loving and respecting my daughter. …You will make sure she has the most amazing wedding.” Yikes, Tina better deliver on that one! As for Andrea, it was a life-changing event.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a bombshell announcement about the Megxit which has since left the royal family with a void in its ranks. While the family could still be coming to terms with the announcement and its implications, some of the members need to step up and take the roles Harry and Meghan assumed.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie might take up the roles, although not everyone feels that the two should step up, disregarding if they are willing to take the positions.
According to Robert Lacey, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are likely to be the ones to take the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s roles. The royal family will bring them forward if the two are willing. Two must come in if a similar number steps away, and Lacey, who is Netflix series ‘The Crown’s Consultant and a biographer, feels the sisters will step forward in this case.
Princess Eugenie is the younger of the sisters and is married to Jack Brooksbank.
Princess Beatrice celebrated her 31st birthday last year, and her sister took to Instagram to wish her big sister a happy birthday. They have both been keeping low key since their father stepped down from the royal duties, due to his sex trafficking scandal.
Virginia Roberts alleged that the Prince Andrew had coerced Jeffrey Epstein with sexual demands, although he denied the allegations. Princess Beatrice had been one of her dad’s greatest supporters. Prince Andrew released a statement saying that his former association with Epstein had become a disruption to his work.
While the two sisters remain potential candidates for the roles, speculations still hold they may not take the duties together. Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack, could as well be the perfect pair. Since their wedding in 2018, they have always kept their profile low, and have never had any royal responsibilities. However, the princess commits to ensuring the monarchy remains in a positive light.
She joins her grandmother every Christmas, and also appears at the Buckingham Palace for celebrations regularly.
Other possible contenders could be Princess Beatrice and her expected husband, Eduardo Mapelli. The two are to tie the knots this year, in a ceremony that will remain low key. Princess Beatrice has never held royal responsibilities but is a possible replacement for Meghan Markle.
In a survey to research what fans thought about the princesses taking up the duties, the majority were against the idea. Twenty-six percent against 30, thought Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie should step up to be senior royals.

The United States of America
The USA is the only little smaller than Europe = 9, 5 million km2. It is the 3rd largest state in the world – only Russia and Cabada have larer areas and more people live only in China and India. It lies in the North America, with Canada to the north, Mexico to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Part of the USA is Alaska which borders on the northwestern Canada and Hawaii, which lies in the Pacific.
The USA can be divided into 6 regions: the Northeast, Central Basin, Southcast, Great Plains, Mountains and deserts, Coast Valleys.
- In the Northeast, there is the biggest city in the USA – New York. It has more than 18 million inhabitans. This city is the financial and culutral cenre of the USA. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the hope and freedoom, not only for immigrants to the USA coming to this seaport at the mouth (ústí) of the Hudson and East Rivers.
- Boston, to the north, is another great port and financial, business and industrial centre. It is an old city (founded in 1630) and the heart of the New England States. It is also known for the Boston Tea Party (not only before the War of Independence, American colonist did not want to pay taxes and British soldiers were sent to Boston; in 1773 a group of Americans, dressed as Indians, threw British tea into the Boston Harbor.)
- Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities, it used to be the first US capital. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written there. Benjamin Franklin, statesman and scientist, lived in Philadelphia.
- Baltimore is another business and industrial centre and important seaport.
- From Boston to Washington D. C. it is only 719 km but more than 20% of the population live along this coast. Washington in the District of Columbia, is the capital city of the USA. It was named after George Washington, the first US president. The District of Columbia was named after Christopher Columbus, the discover of America. This districct is not part of any state.
- The most important rivers in the Northeast are the Hudson and St. Lawrence River, whoch consists the Great Lakes on the border with Canada with the Atlantic Ocean. The biggest of the Great Lakes is Lake Superior, others are Lake Michigan, Huron, Eirie and Ontario.
- The Niagara River connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, it forms the world – famous Niagara Falls.
- The Northeast is a very important industrial area of rge US. Detroit is the centre of US car industry (Ford, Chrysler, General Motors).
- Chicago lies on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is an important transport center, it has busiest airport of the USA (O’Hare). The 1st seyscraper was built there (1882). The highest building in the worl id here – the Sears Tower. Chicago is known for its steel (= ocel) and iron (= železo) industries and alsi for its grain elevators (= silo).
- In the Central Basin, there is The Corn Belt, where corn is produced on fertile fields. Further north is cooler.
- Springfield, in the centre of Illinois, is where Abtaham Lincoln came as a young man to practise law, enter politics and finally be elected the 16th president.
Tasso di cambio dollaro americano (USD) - Stati Uniti d’America
- Back across the Appalachian Mountains there is Southeast. Richmond in the state of Virginia was the capital of the South during the Civil War. Frm Virginia to Texas cotton was grown. There used to be big plantations where slaves worked. After the Civil War the area was the poorest part of the US. In the south there is Florida, where subtropical fruits and vegetables grow all the year round. There is Cape Canaveral where spaceships are launched (vypouštěny), the JFK Space center and Miami teach, a popular holiday area.
- To the west, on te Mississippi Rive is a bir river – and seaport: New Orleans. It was founded by the French and the French influence can still be seen in the French Quarter. New Orleans is also the cradle of jazz, it was born about a century ago among the Black musicians of the town. Mark Twain, on of the greatest US authors, worked as a pilot on the Mississippi River. His best books are based on his own experience along the Mississippi – The adventures of Tom Sawyer a nd The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn.Mississippi, which flows from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, is the 3rd longest river in the world.
- Houston, in the south Texas is an important oil centre and te NASA centre. The centre of the Southwest is Dallas. It is known for its oil industry and cotton market. President JFK was assassinated (spáchat antentát) there in 1963.
- The Great Plains is quite different from the Corn Belt. Summers are very hot, winters ate very cold, the wind blows from the Canadian norder to Texas. There isn’t enough rain. It rains very little and in dey years the farmers can be ruined. In the past, omly the Red Indians knew how to live there. The captured wild horses and hunted the buffalo (bizon) that gone them food and clothing. Later the Indians, cownoys and the farmers were fighting there, it was the time of The Old Wild West. Even now there are few towns on the plains. Most are small, only Denver, in the west , near the Rocky Mountains, is a large industrial city.
- Like the Great Plains, the Mounstains and Deserts did not attract people to live there. But when gold, silver, copper (Cu) and tine (Sn) was fonnd in the mountains, people went there. After the mines were closed, only deserted ghost towns were left there.
- The river Rio Grande flows to the south from this region and forms a natural boundary between Mexico and the US.
- The Rocky Mountains are the long bakcbone of the Continent, they are in Utah and Colorado. Other mountain ranges are e.g. the coasr Range, Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada with the highest part of the continental USA Mt. Whitney. There are many beautiful places especially in national parks, auch as Yosemite Giant Valley National Parr in Sierra Nevada or Death Valley in California.
- Las Vegas in Nevada is famous for roddeo festivals and casino gambling. Not far from there, but in Arizona, there is another famous place: The Granf Vanyon of the Colorado River.
- There is one large city in the middle of this region: Salt Lake City near a large salty lake.
- Yeloowstone National Park in the Rocky Mountains is the largest and the oldest nature reserve in the US. There are 3000 geysers and hor springs.
- If we return to the south, we can find on the map Los Angeles, the world’s largest city. It was founded by the Spanish. Thois city is known for Hollywood, the centre of the film industry. L.A. university is called California Technology Institute. Walt Disney opened 40 years ago Disneyland here.
- The 6th region is called the Coast Valleys. There is rich fertile soil, a lot of water and mild climate. There are 3 coast states: Californina, Oregon and Washingtown, they face toward the Pacific Ocean. San Francisco is a very old city, it was founded by the Spanish and it became a big city during the California Gold Rush ( zlatá horečka). It is known for the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the city’s mayn quarters with a large Chinese Community is called China – town. SF is famous for its Berkley University. There are often earthquakes.
- Seattle, the capital of the state of Washington, is the gate to Laaska, the 49th state. You must drive through Canada or také a boat or plane to get to Alaska. It is the largest of America’s 50 states, but the number of inhabitants is very low. The capital is Juneau, other cities are e.g. Fairbanks, Anckorage etc. There are high mounatains. The biggest river in Alaska is Yukon. Because Alaska is so far north, in winter re long, summer short, it has the Arctic climate. Alaska us rch in raw materials. Near the Klondyke River in canada, just across the Alaska border, gold was discovered in 1896. Jack London became very popular when he described the gold rush.
The 50th State of Hawai is a chain of 8 major islands over 3000 km out in Pacific. The largest island is called Oaku, It is visited by millions of tourists every year.

In response to Britain’s decision to expel more than 23 Russian diplomats over a yet to be confirmed Russian novichok nerve agent attack on two former spies, who became double agents for the United Kingdom, Moscow will soon expel British diplomats.
The retaliatory measures are taken after UK Prime Minister Theresa May declared 23 Russian diplomats as persona non grata, calling them undeclared intelligence officers.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia would deliver its response to the British counterparts prior to an official announcement in the media.
He noted Moscow prefers not to publicly speak of some “doubts or suspicious” before they are discussed through respective channels. “This is, in my view, is being polite, this is how gentlemen behave,” the minister said according to Russia Today.
Although no official confirmation was given on the provenance of the nerve agent by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), May’s decision has triggered a diplomatic confrontation between the UK and Russia.
The use of a nerve agent against Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia cannot be denied. However, as Russia stated, it was ready for “cooperation in the investigation of the case.” Russian experts should’ve been allowed to test the substance according to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), a move that would’ve alleviate the situation.
UK’s Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said London would submit a sample of the nerve agent to the OPCW.
What is novichok?
The alleged nerve agent, called novichok, was developed and produced in Russia.
The novichok agents work by massively over-stimulating muscles and glands, one chemical weapons expert told the Guardian that the agents do not degrade fast in the environment and have “an additional toxicity”. “That extra toxicity is not well understood, so I understand why people were asked to wash their clothes, even if it was present only in traces,” he said. Treatment for novichok exposure would be the same as for other nerve agents, namely with atropine, diazepam and potentially drugs called oximes.
Who is Sergei Skripal?
Sergei Skripal worked with Russia’s military intelligence — commonly called GRU — and retired in 1999. He then worked with the Foreign Ministry until 2003. He confessed he was recruited by the British Security Service in 1995, and provided information on GRU agents in Europe in exchange of money. Arrested in 2004 in Moscow, Skripal was sentenced to 13 years in prison but was released and pardoned in 2012 in a U.S.-Russia spy swap.
Both Sergei and Yulia remains critically ill in the hospital.

Hello Rubbernecker fans! Today is my day to provide you some Rubbernecker inspiration on the blog. I love how this turned out and it was so quick and easy!
I stamped Wild Garden Frame on a piece of patterned paper. The pattern was fairly subtle so it wouldn't overpower the silhouette stamp. I used the Freehand Border Phrase Set for the sentiment and used a die to give it some oomph so it would stand out against the stamp.
If you love Rubbernecker Stamps, you should come play in the challenge. You could win some cash to spend in the shop. We have some fun themes happening and you don't have to use a Rubbernecker Stamps product to play along. If you have some, we would love to see them though.

NBC comedy behemoth The Office is limping toward its ninth season. Having lost about three million viewers last season after the departure of Steve Carrell, things aren't looking to great for the new year. Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) is planning on packing up his bags and heading to the spinoff series The Farm, while stars John Krasinski and Ed Helms will be appearing in less episodes to film movies. B.J. Novak will be appearing in less episodes as well. But as it turns out, we'll be seeing a little more of Mindy Kaling than we expected.
The actress, who plays chatterbox customer sales representative Kelly Kapoor, is headed to FOX to start her own series: The Mindy Project, which is slated to premiere this fall (we've seen the pilot episode, and it packs quite a few laughs). For those of us who thought this would mean an unceremonious departure for Ms. Kapoor, though, at least we were proven wrong. Kaling will be back for The Office's ninth season for at least two episodes, Vulture is reporting.
Of course, Vulture also brings up a good point: will those two episodes serve as a send-off for Kelly, or will they just relegate her to the background, to be a non-presence in The Office until the show's (almost impending, it feels like) series finale?
We'll keep you posted on any Office/Mindy Project news that develops.
The Office season 9 is slated to begin on NBC September 20, while The Mindy Project will air its pilot episode September 25 on FOX.

Advance voting numbers for Tuesday’s general election have picked up some this week, but they’re still slow, leaving Douglas County election officials pessimistic about voter turnout.
At the end of Wednesday, 257 people had cast advance ballots in person at the courthouse, and 290 voters had returned advance ballots by mail, according to the Douglas County Clerk’s Office.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday for the city and school board elections in Lawrence and other Douglas County communities.

Mapping of Health Promotion and Education Programs Addressing Public Health Dangers of Illicit Online Pharmacies
Methods: This is a descriptive analysis. Organizations actively participating in raising awareness to the potential dangers of illicit online pharmacies were first identified using a set of engagement criteria. We then conducted a content analysis of these organizations’ websites for health promotion programs, educational components, public service announcements, and social media utilization. Specifically, we reviewed the volume and popularity of Facebook and Twitter of these organizations.
Results: Thirteen organizations across the spectrum of stakeholders were identified as actively engaged in the public health issue of illicit online pharmacies. Of these organizations, 69.2% (n=9) had at least one type of health promotion outreach activity targeting consumers. While the vast majority of these organizations were active on Facebook or Twitter, few had dedicated content regarding online pharmacies (Facebook: 45.5%; Twitter: 58.3%). Overall, none of the organizations identified showed a high level of effectiveness in educating the public on this issue.
Conclusions: There appears to be inadequate health promotion and education regarding the potential public health and patient safety dangers associated with illicit online pharmacies. More robust collaborative efforts are needed to protect the consumer.
Learning Areas:Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs
Public health or related education
Identify stakeholders engaged in health communication and education regarding the public health threat of illicit online pharmacies Assess the different types of health communication and promotion strategies utilized by these stakeholders and evaluate their effectiveness Formulate strategies including coalition building and cooperation in social media health education promotion to better inform consumers and the public of the dangers of illicit online pharmacies

The Food Stamp Challenge is called a challenge for a reason. At points we both struggled to get through the week. But the challenges were different than we expected them to be. Before we went grocery shopping, we expected to eat a lot of junk food to fill us up and that we'd barely have enough food to get us through the week. After all, Mario Batali reported he was "(expletive removed) starving" when he did the Food Stamp Challenge. With A LOT of planning, we were actually able to have three healthy and relatively filling meals each day. We opted for healthier ingredients like whole grains, small amounts of fruit and vegetables, and lean meat; and therefore did not have much money left over for snacks. Although we both missed snacks, we felt better knowing our meals were healthy.
|Oatmeal with banana and cinnamon every morning|
|Nights 4 and 5: Rigatoni with sauteed spinach and broccoli|
After the repetition, the second hardest part was our inability to join our friends in social outings - mainly eating out. We turned down invitations and ate meals before joining friends on the weekend. Although we'd like to report to you that we did a perfect job this week, the truth is that we both were taken out to lunch or dinner two times during the week. While neither of us spent any money at these meals, we weren't only eating the food from our home.
|Amanda's Baked Ziti was delicious, but by day 3 we didn't even want to look at it anymore|
Ultimately, our objective was to deepen our understanding and raise awareness of the hunger problems in the District. We don't feel this was compromised. Although we cannot pretend to truly understand the real challenge of relying on food stamps, this exercise reminded us how thankful we are that we don't worry where our next meal is coming from. As a way of demonstrating our thanks for what we have, we are both donating a week of groceries to Charlie's Place, an anti-hunger, anti-homelessness organization that provides food, hygiene, and job-searching assistance in DC. If you have the ability, please consider making a donation to Charlie's Place, Capital Area Food Bank, Bread for the City, or any other organization that provides meals to those in need. Thanks for sticking with us through the week-long challenge!

Activists, athletes, actors, and preachers with in some cases-fiery presentation skills are just a couple of of the people today who’ve communicated the concept of civil legal rights to the masses.

And one of the important players of the civil legal rights movement of the ‘60s was at times silenced due to the fact he was Black and gay.
Becoming incendiary was purely natural for some of these speakers, when some others toed the line between making change and staying away from offending much more-conservative elements of the movement.
Some of the speeches are from 50+ decades in the previous, but many are from historic occasions in 2020, ranging from Black Lives Matter marches to the 2020 March on Washington, featuring highly effective orators ranging from one of “The Squad” to MLK’s granddaughter.
Reform of the felony justice program is a subject resolved in these speeches, throughout lots of a long time.
The listing features speeches by activists ranging from gurus with doctorates to a quality-college college student.

BAHAWALPUR: The death toll of the Ahmadpur Sharqia tragedy rose to 176 as nine more injured persons succumbed to their wounds.
According to details, among the two who succumbed to their wounds included the driver of the oil tanker. The name of the driver was Gul Muhammad.
This takes the death toll from the tragedy to 164 with dozens still hospitalized and in critical condition. Relatives of the injured pray for their recovery at Multan’s Nishtar Hospital’s Burn Unit.
Thousands of people on Tuesday attended the funeral of 125 people killed in an oil tanker explosion at Ahmedpur Sharqia town of Bahawalpur.


Seen and heard yesterday at MCI Center:
JOB SECURITY As Georgetown fans and alumni become more frustrated with the direction the program is taking, reliable sources said coach Craig Esherick will sign a contract extension later this week.
IS THERE A PRO IN THE HOUSE? Marty Blake, the NBA’s director of scouting services, thinks so. Blake, who sat courtside, has many interesting things to say about Georgetown forward Mike Sweetney and center Wesley Wilson.
Blake really didn’t want to talk about the 6-foot-8, 260-pound Sweetney because he is a junior, but Blake offered a few observations about his future. “The Playboy All-American team is the best one that I think anyone ever picks, and [Sweetney has] been on it twice,” Blake said. “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that he can play.”
According to Blake, the 6-11 Wilson, who has disappeared at times this season, will be invited to the Portsmouth Invitational a select college tournament for future prospective NBA players.
“He doesn’t get many touches, but he’s going to be invited to play in postseason tournaments,” Blake said. “First of all, you can’t find centers. You get a center once every 22 years. I send a little mirror out and it’s not a joke if you see a guy 7 feet and he’s breathing, I want him to play. You cannot find centers.”
HELP IS ON THE WAY While the Hoyas’ backcourt is getting exposed in conference play, the good news is that a real guard is signed, sealed and soon to be delivered. Incoming recruit Matt Causey, a 5-11 backcourt star from Liburn, Ga., was named MVP of the 10th annual Red Cross-Rotary Roundball Classic. Causey scored 22 points with four assists and three steals in the championship game while leading Berkmar High School to a 76-53 win over Norcross. The championship was Berkmar’s third straight.
HECKLE OF THE DAY This is A-list material. Late in the first half as St. John’s guard Marcus Hatten was about to shoot a free throw, a courtside heckler yelled, “Hey, Marcus, give me back my hubcaps!”

The African National Congress (ANC) is under attack and can only be saved by its branches, former eThekwini Mayor Zandile Gumede has said.
Gumede was addressing her supporters outside the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Thursday, 10 September 2020, where the corruption case against her was postponed to 10 December.
“We are at war and it’s not a war against Zandile but the war is attacking the African National Congress,” she said.
“That’s why I’m saying the ANC members in Durban and other regions if they stand up, stand up against cases such as these ones, they will save the ANC.”
Zandile Gumede faces fierce corruption charges
Gumede and 16 others, including suspended city manager Sipho Nzuza face corruption charges involving a R430 million waste collection tender dating back to 2017. She was arrested in 2019 and subsequently granted R50 000 bail.
The former mayor and her supporters claim the charges are politically motivated and that she is under siege because she is a woman.
Gumede also lashed out the media for reporting that she had failed to get the matter struck off the court roll.
“To you media people who have already started reporting that I have failed to get the case struck off the roll, not all of them, hear me out very well, there are those who have already reported that Mama Zandile got her case off the court roll. That was early for them to start laughing. All the lawyers, including mine and those of Mondli (Mthembu, a co-accused) are in agreement that the matter is struck off the roll,” she said.
“May God keep us, may we survive from Covid-19 until the truth comes out so that even the next generation knows that if you work for the people’s party (the ANC) with honesty, capitalists will persecute you”
Mantashe: ‘Attacks on Ramaphosa must stop’
Gumede’s remarks come as ANC NEC member Gwede Mantashe has warned against attacks on the party’s president Cyril Ramaphosa, particularly in the form of open letters. Mantashe is likely to be referring to scathing letter Ramaphosa’s predecessor Jacob Zuma penned.
Mantashe spoke during a virtual lecture hosted by the ANC arah Baartman Region in the Eastern Cape. The theme of the engagement was organisational renewal.
“There is a counter-revolution that is seeking to destroy the pillars of the ANC and that needs to stop,” he said.

Beiser joins with Citizens Utility Board to host clinic
ALTON — State Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, will be pairing with the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) on Friday to host a Utility Bill Clinic at the East Alton Library from 10 a.m. until noon.
“When I walk door to door in the area asking residents about concerns that they may have, I often hear about the cost of electricity and other utilities continuing to rise,” said Beiser. “It also seems that when we receive our utility bills there are often unexplained charges, or charges that do not make sense. This free Utility Bill Clinic is a great opportunity to have your utility bills analyzed and explained by a panel of experts.”
To have your bills analyzed, just bring in your most recent utility and phone bills. Members of the Citizens Utility Board will go through your bills with you line-by-line to explain any charges that do not make sense, and show you where you could be saving money.
“I encourage anyone that pays utility bills to attend the Utility Bill Clinic. The clinic is free, and the panel of experts will help to explain any charges that do not make sense, and give suggestions on ways to help you save money,” added Beiser.
The Citizens Utility Board is a nonprofit consumer group that was created by the state legislature to fight for the rights of utility consumers. Space to attend the clinic is limited, so a RSVP is required.
If you have any questions, or to reserve a spot at the Utility Bill Clinic, please contact Beiser’s constituent services office at 618-465-5900 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

ALBANY – A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for the region Thursday as snow, sleet and freezing rain are expected throughout the day, the National Weather Service said.
Slippery road conditions are expected and could impact Thursday morning’s commute and in some areas into the evening commute, the service said.
Total snow accumulations through southern Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Albany and Rensselaer counties are expected to total up to two inches and ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch, the service said.
The advisory begins at 11 p.m. Wednesday night and is to continue through 4 p.m. Thursday.
Fulton and Montgomery counties and northern Saratoga Counties are expected to see snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch, the service said.
The Fulton and Montgomery county and northern Saratoga County advisory is to begin at 1 a.m. Thursday and run through 10 p.m. Thursday, the service said.
Another storm was expected for Friday, the service said Wednesday morning, but details remained unclear due to Thursday’s storm.


When typing/editing text, how do I delete the word at which the text cursor currently is?
I mean a "system-wide" solution that works in most programs (and is maybe offered by the OS), rather than hotkeys that are specific to certain text editors.
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It only takes a minute to sign up.Sign up to join this community
Ctrl+Backspace deletes the current word up until the text cursor.
Ctrl+Del deletes the end of the current word from the text cursor onward, as well as all spaces and tabs directly after the word.
Therefore, if you hold Ctrl and press (simultaneously or in any order) Del and Backspace, you'll delete the current word.
This works for example on Windows in Notepad and Google Chrome.
You have an answer for Windows, but for other readers, it's worth noting that the same solution applies to Mac, with some key substitutions.
⌥ Option + ⌫ Delete deletes the current word up until the text cursor.
⌥ + ⌦ Delete (or for the shorter keyboards ⌥+fn+Delete) deletes the end of the current word from the text cursor onward (this does not delete spaces, or other characters directly after the word).
The other answers are fairly good, but they miss an important problem: in some applications (try renaming a file in windows explorer), Ctrl+Backspace actually inserts a weird box character instead.
There are a few workarounds:
You can use Ctrl+← to go back to the beginning of the word, and then use Ctrl+Delete.
You can also select the text using Ctrl+Shift+←/→ after placing your cursor at the start of the word using Ctrl+←, and then delete it using Backspace or Delete. This method also has the advantage of making it extremely clear what exactly you are deleting.
I believe both of these apply to mac as well, though you might not run into the issue there in the first place.


In the Fall 2017 issue of the Pan Am Clipper
, a company official wrote the following about the newly-acquired GE locomotives:
Pan Am Clipper wrote:With between 35–40 EMD locomotives and 36 GE locomotives in service we have decided to hold each locomotive type in partially- captive service. The GE’s will typically run on the Pan Am Southern (Rotterdam Jct., NY to Ayer, MA) and be serviced out of the East Deerfield Engine House. The EMD’s will run predominantly on Pan Am Railways (Ayer, MA to Mattawamkeag, ME) and be serviced out of the Waterville Engine House.
By holding our GE and EMD fleets captive between Pan Am Southern and Pan Am Railways, it gives us the opportunity to capitalize on cost-savings efficiencies and adds simplicity between the two divisions. This allows PAR/PAS to reduce parts inventory to one type of locomotive, equipment, and tooling required for periodic maintenance, and increases the technical skill level to our crafts by segregating the two different locomotive types.
Pan Am Southern has a stronger model for the newer GE fleet with higher tonnage being interchanged daily with CSX and NS. We regularly interchange multiple trains that have up to 10,000 tons from Rotterdam Jct. NY and Worcester to Ayer, MA.
My questions are as follows:
1. How long did the captive/segregated operating procedure last? When did it end?
2. Why did it end? (I'm sure we all have our suspicions/theories, but if anyone knows the actual or official reason, that's what I'd like to know about)
3. How far east do the Dash 8-40Cs go? (I recently saw video of a couple Dash 8-40Bs at Northern Maine Junction.)
4. Where are the Dash 8-40Bs prohibited? Where are the Dash 8-40Cs prohibited?

Mutational analysis of substrate interactions and oxygen reduction of the multicopper oxidase Fet3p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Stoj, Christopher Stephen
MetadataShow full item record
Metal ions such as iron, copper, and zinc are essential cofactors in many biochemical processes throughout nature. The critical requirement for metals in biology have been know for many years and is typified by the red pigment of human blood as a result of oxygen binding to the iron containing protein hemoglobin. Currently, altered metal ion regulation is considered a causative agent of many disease states, including those of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Investigations of cellular metal ion regulation are central to developing a significant understanding of roles metals play in various pathologies. The baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as the model system to study eukaryotic iron and copper metallobiochemistry. In general, yeast protein components for the uptake and storage of iron and copper are quite similar to those found in various higher eukaryotes including human cells. One example of this homology is the yeast high-affinity iron uptake system composed of the multicopper ferroxidase Fet3p and the ferric permease Ftr1p. The research contained in this thesis describes the structural and functional features of Fet3p as they relate to its role in iron and copper homeostasis at the yeast plasma membrane. Chapter Two describes the identification of two previously uncharacterized iron binding ligands, D283 and D409, and examines their roles in substrate interactions, electron transfer processes, and Fe(III) trafficking to Ftr1p. Specifically, mutation of D283 or D409 to alanine resulted in ~4-fold decreases in Fe(II) affinity. Also, D409 acts as a viable electron transfer pathway by acting as a wire to guide electrons from Fe(II) to the T1 Cu site. During in vivo 59 Fe uptake assays both D283 and D409 mutants were sensitive to citrate concentration indicative of their involvement in ferric trafficking to Ftr1p. Chapter Three details a novel role for Fet3p in copper detoxification at the yeast plasma membrane. Yeast deficient in active Fet3p at the cell surface is sensitive to exogenous copper exposure. We have demonstrated that Fet3p and human ceruloplasmin exhibit high activity and high affinity for Cu(I) in addition to Fe(II). Mutation of Fet3p residue M345 to alanine results in ~2-fold increase in K M for Cu(I) and significantly reduced the rate of electron transfer from this substrate. Also, yeast expressing M345A exhibits an intermediary sensitivity to copper exposure. These results are striking evidence that Fet3p, as well as human ceruloplasmin are metallo-oxidases in that they can oxidize, at least, both iron and copper. Finally, Chapter Four focuses on the role of a conserved aspartate residue, D94, during enzyme turnover. D94 has been shown to act as an acid catalyst of oxygen reduction at the trinuclear cluster of an intermediate along the turnover cycle. Here we show that it also aids in the proton assisted rate determining step under turnover conditions.

Irrritable bowel syndrome is a common medical disorder for which diet intervention can be a helpful therapy. Mast cells can be stimulated by AGEs and play a role in IBS. We've treated mice with lactose or fructosaccharides, with or without co-administration of pyridoxamine, and examined the colonic mucus barrier. We have discovered that an elevated intake of lactose and fructosaccharides causes a dysregulation of the colonic mucus barrier, increasing mucus discharge in the empty colon, while decreasing consistency and decreasing average thickness of the fecal pellet. Changes were correlated with increased mast cell counts, indicating a role in the crosstalk between these and goblet cells. According to this review, excess intake of fermentable carbohydrates can lead to colonic mucus barrier dysregulation in mice, which can be exacerbated by increased mucosal cell counts and increased mucosal mast cell counts.

(STN- MUQDISHO):_ Years after Judicial Watch exposed the Obama administration’s special behind-the-scenes tours for Somali Muslims at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, millions of dollars in cash are being smuggled weekly from the facility to the Middle East. Some of the money is being funneled to a region of Somalia that is controlled by the Al Shabaab terrorist group, according to a disturbing months-long investigation conducted by a national media outlet. “These cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP,” the probe found. “The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.” The investigation is based on public records and nearly a dozen government sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.
A national expert on the illicit cash transfers helped track where the money is going once it leaves Minneapolis stuffed in suitcases. His name is Glen Kerns, a former Seattle police detective who spent 15 years on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) joint terrorist task force. Kerns discovered that some of the cash is being funneled to a part of Somalia dominated by Al Shabab, an Al Qaeda affiliate that has taken over many rural southern and central areas of the African nation. Kerns says some of the individuals sending large amounts of cash abroad receive taxpayer-funded government assistance in the United States. Sources interviewed for the story say it’s “welfare fraud,” mostly involving government-subsidized daycare. A separate investigation conducted by the same media outlet five years ago, uncovered huge daycare fraud in Minnesota that exposed how businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help poor families with childcare expenses.
In one recent federal case the feds raided a south Minneapolis daycare center operated by a woman named Fozia Ali, who billed the government for more than a million dollars in bogus childcare services. An FBI agent confirmed that Ali was collecting a significant amount of money for a much larger number of children than were actually attending the center and that some of the funds went overseas. Investigators subsequently discovered in records that Ali took a two-month trip from Minnesota to Dubai and Kenya, where she sometimes stayed at fancy hotels that cost $800 a night. “She used an app on her phone to bill the state of Minnesota for childcare services while she was out of the country,” the news story reveals. The fraud is so widespread, according to Department of Human Services officials, that people buy shares in daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. In the Somali community it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money, sources told reporters.
Years ago, Minnesota officials began cracking down on daycare fraud and tracking the money. “The state would pay a daycare’s bill and within hours of the money showing up in the business’s bank account, funds were being wired to the United Arab Emirates,” the investigative report states. “Those wire transfers stopped after a few centers were busted.” Apparently, that’s when the fraudsters started using suitcases to transport the cash out of the airport. In 2015, investigators documented $14 million in carry on cash out of MSP. By 2016, it had mushroomed to $84 million. Last year it grew to an eye-popping $100 million. The FBI joint terrorism task force expert quoted in the piece, says the money is “absolutely” funding terrorism. The fact that a chunk of it is coming from defrauded American taxpayers only makes it worse.
The money-laundering hub is also enraging, considering its history. Back in 2016 Judicial Watch uncovered records involving a secret Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that offered Somali Muslims “community engagement tours,” including security briefings in secured areas at three major U.S. airports. Los Angeles and Columbus, Ohio were the other two. In Minneapolis the tours came about after Somali Muslims complained to Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson about feeling harassed and profiled. The special security tours at MSP were not offered to any other group and included roundtable meetings with local Somali leaders to obtain feedback for “modifications to practices that would allow for operations to be more culturally sensitive.” On at least two occasions federal authorities granted the unprecedented excursions of the facility’s sterile and secure areas, according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) records obtained by Judicial Watch. The DHS agency that conducted the expeditions, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), provided the Muslim participants with “an in-depth, on-site tour and discussion of CBP’s airport, including both inbound and outbound passenger processing,” the TSA files state.

WASHINGTON — The family of Bijan Ghaisar renewed their call for justice at a vigil Sunday on the two year anniversary of his death.
Ghaiser was shot multiple times by two U.S. Park Police officers on November 17, 2017, after a traffic stop, police said.
"You have murdered Bijan," his sister, Negeen Ghaisar said at the vigil, speaking directly to the federal government. "You have repeatedly killed our family."
Police said he had gotten into a fender-bender on the George Washington Parkway, in which he was the victim. Reports said he drove away and was then pursued by park police and Fairfax County Police.
They reportedly stopped him twice, and the second time he tried to drive away, police shot him.
The Department of Justice said he died 10 days later in the INOVA hospital.
"There is a big hole in my heart for the rest of my days," his father, James Ghaisar, said.
Bijan was reportedly unarmed, but in Officer Lucas Vinyard's response to a lawsuit, he said "his injuries were the result of his own intentional, illegal, and/or otherwise wrongful conduct."
On Thursday, the Department of Justice announced that it would not pursue charges against officers Lucas Vinyard and Alejandro Amaya.
"I found out on Twitter, and my dad found out in the elevator when he picked up the phone to a reporter to ask his opinion about it," Negeen said.
“In my optimistic mind, and in respect for the law and how the justice should work, this was a slap on my face," his father said.
The DOJ said there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers willfully violated a federal criminal civil rights statute, and it's unable to disprove the officers' claims of self-defense.
Officer Amaya's attorney declined to comment when asked Thursday.
“They don’t owe us anything apparently," Bijan's sister said. "But, that’s just one step of this. Virginia can charge them with murder. The park police can fire them. There can be other disciplinary action, and we will fight until the end of time for reform to make sure that this does not occur for other people and other families.”
D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and Virginia Congressman Don Beyer have partnered on legislation to require federal police officers to wear body cameras.
The Ghaisar family also has a pending wrongful death lawsuit against the two officers, who have claimed self-defense.
"We need some kind of closure, and how can you kill someone and just walk?" Bijan's father said.
Multiple senators have expressed outrage at the speed of the investigation and the transparency. Some told WUSA 9 Friday that they plan to demand a formal briefing on Capitol Hill from investigators within the next 30 days.

Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund
KICK OFF: Saturday 20th Oct 2018 | 15:30 CET
BUNDESLIGA WK8 | Mercedes-Benz Arena
The hosts are at the foot with high-flying visitors leading the charts. Stuttgart has no chance against Dortmund
Stuttgart have won just once this season (versus 10-man Bremen), and there’s a little to suggest they can pick the second win against the league leaders. They have only kept one clean sheet against newly promoted Dusseldorf, conceding in all the other six games so far. Can they stop Dortmund in this one? Unlikely!
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to extend their lead at the top by brushing aside the visitors in style. Paco Alcacer is expected to spearhead their attack and continue his magnificent goal-scoring form. Forwards Marco Reus, Phillip, Pulisic, and Sancho have all made positive starts this season. Englishman Sancho, in particular, has taken Bundesliga by storm with his six assists in just seven games.
Goals are a certainty for Dortmund, though they haven’t kept a clean sheet in 71% of their games. The visitors will be too strong for Stuttgart on this occasion and backing another high-scoring Dortmund win looks a sure bet.
Key Match Facts
- This fixture has produced over 2.5 goals in each of the last five encounters.
- Three or more goals have been scored in Dortmund’s last four games.
Result Prediction: Borussia Dortmund win
Score Prediction: Over 2.5 match goals
