One More Dash Review - "A Finger Tapping, Eye Popping, Mind Drug"
SMG Studio has a history of creating incredibly addictive games, but can lightning strike twice for the Australian developer as it rolls out a sequel to mega hit One More Line?
I will unashamedly admit that I easily sunk dozens of hours into the SMG Studios' previous two games, OTTD and One More Line. Both games still occupy a special place on my iPad home screen and get regular use.
One More Dash is the latest finger-taping, eye-popping, mind drug from SMG Studio, which seeks to capitalise on the popularity of its predecessor, One More Line. As a direct sequel, One More Dash doesn't reinvent the wheel in terms of gameplay - not that said wheel was awfully complex to begin with. However, the indie developer has taken many of the best features from One More Line and refined it like a well crafted beer to create a worthy sequel that bubbles with same addictive deliciousness required to justify the name "One More."
Similar to its predecessor, One More Dash adopts a simple single touch mechanic. This time around the objective is to tap the screen at just the right moment to make your little ball jump from one safe node to the next. Of course it's never as easy as it sounds with rotating barriers blocking your way. If you don't time your jump perfectly, you'll either be flung off into the ether or impale yourself on colourful spikes. It's a simple idea, but implemented well and it quickly becomes supremely addictive.

After playing for a few hours, I would say that it is slightly easier to achieve a competitive score in One More Dash than in One More Line. After about 30 minutes of game time I had racked up 180 deaths and a high score of 203 (which was the best in the world at that time might I add!) But I did come to appreciate the subtle strategy that is required to do well. Upon hitting a new node, you only have two to three seconds to react before time runs out and your little ball explodes. However, you may not be able to safely navigate to the next node in that time. If that's the case, the only way to survive is to time your jump so that you bounce off a rotating barrier back into the node from which you started. That will restart the countdown timer. Trust me, it's simpler than it sounds and becomes easier with practice.
One thing that I really enjoyed about One More Line was its audio. It had an electronic/robotic feel to it, which suited the gameplay perfectly. Although the audio is still excellent in One More Dash, it doesn't quite have the same hook. It isn't quite as catchy and didn't motivate me as much to go for "one more dash." If you're interested in checking out the One More Dash soundtrack, just head on over to Jared at Batteries Soundcloud.

A rather neat feature of One More Dash is that challenges have now been included, like collecting a certain number of orbs in one run or lasting for a certain amount of time. Completing challenges awards orbs that can be spent on cosmetic items that change the colour scheme of the game. It's just a small thing, but it keeps the game feeling fresh and interesting, and for those of us who are compulsive achievement hunters, something to work towards.
SMG Studio knows how to craft a game that digs its claws into you and refuses to let go. Although One More Dash isn't drastically different from One More Line, it does enough to feel fresh and still manages to retain that compulsive feeling that will have you screaming "just one more dash!"

Soundboxes containing artificial neurons will be placed around the UK.
We´ve all got little music projects that we want to get off the ground, but The Fragmented Orchestra is surely more ambitious than most. Devised by sound artist Jane Grant, physicist John Matthias and composer Nick Ryan, this has won the PRS Foundation´s New Music Award 2008, and as such will be subsidised by a £50,000 grant.
A composition that´s designed to mirror the function of the human brain, The Fragmented Orchestra will be powered by 24 'soundboxes´ that are set to be positioned at various locations around the UK. These will include a football stadium, a cathedral, a school playground and a field.
Each soundbox will contain an artificial neuron that´s modelled on those that fire the human brain´s cortex. These will be attached to resonant surfaces, while tiny microphones will capture the sounds, both human and 'natural´.
Now, this is where it gets really complicated: as the neurons are stimulated, they´ll select audio fragments to stream between them via an invisible network. All of the sounds will then be streamed to FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) in Liverpool, where visitors will be able to hear the sounds and experience the way that they interact.
The 'music´ will also be audible at each of the 24 soundbox sites and online.
You can find out more at the PRS Foundation website; presumably, a dedicated Fragmented Orchestra page will be set up soon. In the meantime, you can watch a video that explains what the project is all about. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,962 |
RECAMFT has partnered with the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County to raise funds for the Wildfire Mental Health Collaboration, of which RECAMFT is a part. These funds will be used to provide mental health services to fire survivors who are without resources, and need access to mental health services.
The first step in our collaboration has been the creation of a website - MySonomaStrong.com. This site offers a first step for someone thinking about mental health services, and wondering if their symptoms might be related to the wildfire trauma. The site is available in English and Spanish.
The second step has been training a large community of mental health providers in Skills for Psychological Recovery. Once trained, these people will be able to go into the community and speak at public events, educating people about the symptoms of an ongoing traumatic reaction, and ways to cope.
NAMI has created a Warmline for people to call or online chat, through support of the Healthcare Foundation. They have an extensive listing of therapists willing to provide mental health services to fire survivors.
We encourage our members, and community citizens who are able, to consider making a one-time, or on-going donation to Healthcare Foundation, ear-marked for the Wildfire Mental Health Collaborative. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,963 |
Q: Prepared statement parameter not being set in DataNucleus I'm trying to insert an Employee object into the database using DataNucleus 2.1.1, but the foreign-key Position parameter is not being set before the "insert" prepared statement is executed. What am I doing that prevents the parameter from being set? Am I leaving something out? Reading works fine.

1. The Fed now says that economic activity has continued to expand a moderate pace whereas the previous statement said that economic growth slowed late last year.
2. The Fed added completely new verbiage for "consumer and business sentiment." Neither "consumer" nor "sentiment" were present in the previous statement. This could be a nod to the post-election animal spirits that some analysts credit for improved sentiment surveys. It's net-hawkish, but not much more than an observation of recent data.
3. The Fed now says "Inflation increased, but is still below the objective." Previously, they said Inflation has continued to run below the objective–a fact that reflected declines in energy prices. This is also net-hawkish, but again, not much more than an objective observation.
4. The Fed dropped some verbiage that said "inflation is expected to remain low in the near term" and replaced it with the expectation that "inflation will rise to 2 percent over the medium term." Here too, net-hawkish, but no surprise.
5. The Fed dropped the verbiage about "transitory effects of declines in energy and import prices." Net-hawkish, no surprise.
6. The Fed added a new line about the economic outlook appearing roughly balanced. They also dropped verbiage that listed "risks to the outlook" in the factors they were watching. That said, they're still watching everything they were watching before (inflation and global economic developments). In fact, this change was more about shifting the focus to say they're watching "inflation indicators" specifically as opposed to saying they're watching financial and economic developments and assessing their implications on labor markets and inflation. The new version reads much better. The old version was sort of silly in retrospect.
7. The Fed got more specific in the 3rd paragraph, dropping the vague "given the economic outlook" and replacing it with "In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation." Not sure this matters, but it could be their way of refocusing on their true mandates (which are just labor markets and inflation).
Notably, NOTHING about the last 2 paragraphs changed. That's where they talk about future policy. Those are the most critical paragraphs as they will give us the first indication (some day) of a change in the Fed's reinvestment plans or rate hike trajectory. This also means they kept the "only gradual" rate hike pace verbiage, and didn't even hint at changing reinvestment's in any way. This is the one, major "net-dovish" piece of the statement that balances out all of the slightly more hawkish/upbeat changes that preceded it. Case in point, bonds haven't moved much since the statement came out.

What Do K-12 Schools Really Need?
What if US public schools were given a huge chunk of money that they could spend on pretty much whatever they wanted? What would they do? We are in the process of finding out. As Marguerite Roza and Katherine Silberstein discuss "A year ago, school districts got a windfall of pandemic aid. How's that going?" (Brookings Institution, March 31, 2022). They begin: "T]his month marks one year since Congress approved the largest-ever one-time investment in public education: ESSER III, as it's known, averaged $2,400 per student. This latest round of money left the federal treasury at warp speed, with $80 billion out the door in less than two weeks. From there, the aid went to state education agencies, where it sat. And sat. And nearly all of it still sits today."
A bit of background is probably useful here. ESSER stands for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund. The National Council on State Legislatures explains:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed on March 27, 2020, provided $13.5 billion to the ESSER Fund. The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA), passed on Dec. 27, 2020, provided $54.3 billion in supplemental ESSER funding, known as the ESSER II fund. The American Rescue Plan Act, passed on March 11, 2021, provided $122.7 billion in supplemental ESSER funding, known as the ESSER III fund.
There is a federal webpage that tracks not whether states have received the money (they have) or whether plans have been made to spend the money, but whether the money has actually been spent. There is a use-it-or-lose-it date of September 2024 for these funds, and Roza and Silberstein point out that at the current pace, the funds will not actually be spent. Of the funds that have been spent, how was the money used?
The law gives districts wide latitude and few restrictions, and thus choices are all over the map. One district awards sizable staff bonuses, another remodels a building, and another hires an army of counselors, nurses, and social workers. Some are launching tutoring efforts, while others are investing in professional development or refreshing their curriculum and technology. Atlanta added 30 minutes to the school day and Boston is running summer recovery courses for teens. Some are doing a bit of everything.
In many regions, the flurry of spending has triggered a corresponding flurry of hiring. Districts are competing for a limited labor pool, and using signing bonuses, retention pay, and other strategies to expand labor rolls to a new and higher level than ever before.
In contrast, some big, urban districts, including those in Minneapolis, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, are using funds to backfill budget gaps (some caused by pre-pandemic overspending or enrollment losses). Instead of launching new programs and hiring new staff, the funds are paying the salaries of staff who've been in these districts for years.
In the end, there simply is no "typical" spending profile.
It is perhaps worth noting that these ESSER funds are clearly not effective at providing a quick stimulus for the economy–they would have to be spent to do that. But K-12 schools do face an enormous challenge. The pandemic has left behind an enormous and nationwide pattern of "learning loss"–that is, students who have aged a couple of calendar years but have not gained the learning that would otherwise have been expected. Roza and Silberstein are blunt about the prospects that the ESSER funding will address the learning loss problem:
All told, this means we're counting on leaders in thousands of districts to figure this out on the fly—and fast. And they're expected to do so with no established data systems that could point the way. Some district investments will put student learning back on track and others won't. Only in a few years will we have any indication of which districts did what and whether it worked. In that sense, the American Rescue Plan's strategy might be best described as: fund and pray.
What should be done with the money? American K-12 school districts are wildly heterogenous, both across and within states, so it's not easy to stay. Evidence from before the pandemic suggests that a combination of summer school and intense tutoring can help.
The Aspen Economic Strategy group recently published a book with eight essays appearing on Rebuilding the Post-Pandemic Economy (November 2021). Nora Gordon and Sarah Reber contribute an essay on "Addressing Inequities in the US K-12 Education System." They provide an overview of the US K-12 education system, and offer a reminder that many students and schools were already facing substantial issues before the pandemic. I was struck by this figure showing cross-state differences in K-12 education. In particular, the middle column shows revenue per student across US states, while the final columns shows the differences in how states depend on local, state, and federal revenue.
They also point out:
Discussions of school funding equity—and considerable legal action—focus on inequality of funding across school districts within the same state. While people often assume districts serving disadvantaged students spend less per pupil than wealthier districts within a state, per-pupil spending and the child poverty rate are nearly always uncorrelated or positively correlated, with higher-poverty districts spending more on average. Typically, disadvantaged districts receive more state and federal funding, offsetting differences in funding from local sources.
They discuss evidence on a variety of possible K-12 school reforms, with an emphasis on the importance of the basics: high quality teachers and principals focused on a core curriculum. I was struck by this comment:
Quick fixes are few and far between, but improvements to school infrastructure stand out as low-hanging fruit. … Research shows that spending on capital improvements or to build new schools improves test scores and other outcomes (Jackson and Mackevicius 2021). Though the CDC notes there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, 37% of schools that test for lead reported elevated lead levels; fewer than half of districts even tested (GAO 2018b). Evidence that poor indoor air quality and exposure to lead and other toxins impedes learning and can have long-term effects is now conclusive (Aizer et al. 2018; Stafford 2015). Approximately one-third of schools require HVAC updates (GAO 2020). Studies also show that heat impacts learning adversely, especially when schools do not have air-conditioning (Park et al. 2020; Park, Behrer, and Goodman 2021). Schools serving low-income students and students of color are more likely to lack air conditioning conditional on other factors, and Park et al. (2020) estimate that heat accounts for 1 to 13% of U.S. racial achievement gaps. Installing air conditioning could plausibly help shrink achievement gaps.
America's K-12 schools have an opportunity to show what they can do with a substantial infusion of public funds. The schools also face ongoing risks to their reputation and public support if they do not rise to the moment.

UPDATE: Kelsang Tsultrim was released in 2015.
Kelsang Tsultrim , a Tibetan monk, recorded a number of videos at great risk about the situation in Tibet after the 2008 protests, and his fears for the survival of Tibetan religion and culture. These videos earned him a four year prison sentence, handed down by Kanlho Intermediate People's Court on 30 December 2011.
Kelsang Tsultrim traces back the repression of Tibetans to two seminal events: the 1951 signing under duress of the 17-Point Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet, and the 1964-1977 imprisonment by the Chinese of the 10th Panchen Lama. He refers to the marginalization of the Tibetan language, saying that sometimes ordinary Tibetans who go to government offices are reprimanded and called 'animals' for not being able to speak Chinese, and saying that there is strong racial discrimination against the Tibetan people.
He refers to the case of Tapey, a monk from Kirti monastery in Ngaba, eastern Tibet (Chinese: Sichuan) who self-immolated in February 2009 after a prayer ceremony was banned at his monastery, and the case of a monk who died by jumping into the river after a period of detention. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,968 |

A Nationals concept that ISN'T Red, White, and Blue? What kind of world are we living in?
It's a great concept idea nonetheless.
On 2/8/2019 at 8:27 AM, coco1997 said:
Great work! This is a really nice combination of vintage (the Grays/late '70s style White Sox scripts and numbers) and modern (the very '90s black/blue/metallic gold color scheme) elements.
My only gripe is that the script on the black alt is very muddled looking, but if the rule is that white and metallic gold never touch, I'm not sure there's a way around it.
As always, looking forward to whatever's next!
EDIT: How about putting the "DC" monogram on the front of the black alt?
Thanks! I really wanted to keep the Pirates' status as a black-based team for the move. I figured the vintage-modern blend would work really well here.
I've got a revised color balance later in the post, which solves the muddling. Also, that DC insignia works well on the black jersey. Thanks for the idea!

I would spend the rest of the afternoon giving this likes if I could. This is exactly what the Brewers need to look like! Any chance we could also see it in the current navy for the sake of comparison? (then I promise to stop bothering you )
Re: Pirates as Nationals
I really want to like the gold scripts and numbers more than I do. But I really only like them on the blue alt. I get what you're trying to accomplish here, but I don't think it works well enough to avoid just doing a straight up version of the Nationals in the old Caps/Wizards colors. Especially when I imagine Pittsburgh would have been able to cut a Cleveland deal over this.
Thanks! I really enjoyed putting it together. I've got a few color schemes for you:
Edit (11/8/2019): I updated the Owgust design per @Gothamite's recommendation.
Navy/Yellow-Gold:
Navy/Metallic Gold:
"Shamrock Series" (a Project 32 favorite)
Athletic Gold "Shamrock/Lambeau Series" design:
I think you're right about my color balance for the Nationals. I opted for the 1990s-style color scheme, if only because I didn't want to add a navy team. The metallic gold doesn't make for all that great of a primary color, especially when the Pirates have rarely been a gold-first team. So, I've redistributed the colors to be black/gold/slate, which looks far less muddy.
Thanks for the suggestion! It really cleaned things up.
With concern for a "Cleveland Deal" (which is something I oppose, due to record transfers) or a "Winnipeg Jets Deal" (a much better idea), I'm sure a new Pittsburgh club would have adopted the Pirates' name, colors, and font. However, I'm not sure a Pittsburgh expansion would be on a post-1970s expansion scope. The market shrank considerably follow the '60s due to various economic circumstances (I remember @the admiral claiming that the diaspora partially explains the nation-wide Steelers fandom). The diaspora gets frequent mentions in period articles about the Pirates' fading fortunes in the post-1979 & pre-Bonds era.

It's a world where navy/red doesn't jive all that well with the modern image of the Pirates (or the next team on the docket).

Would be interested in a whole set based around the grays. Seems kinda cool. I really like what you did. Big 2000s Washington sports vibes! Really love that font. My favorite thing here!
Edit: Do you have the font name btw?

I think you've hit a pretty important "sweet spot" here. Not many concepts look like the same team that played in both the 1982 World Series and the 2018 NLCS. I think all these need is a powder blue road option; and maybe a full-color alt jersey and gold-front alt hat.
Re: Nationals Updates
Looking way better here! I would maybe experiment with slate numbers. I also think that DC logo is way too good to not use on a cap. Maybe do it in gold on the road cap (since there's barely any white on the uniform). And probably a slate bill/squatchee on the home cap. I think you'd end up with a quintessentially 90s look that still holds up now, like the Mariners or the original Marlins.
EDIT: I think I'd like to see how a gold DC looks on the logo too, if at all possible.
Thanks! I got those vibes as well. The font is UA Tiffany, an old Conrad font.

Thanks! I'll knock up those updates in my next post. The way you're describing the updates for the Nats, it kind of reminds me of the Germanic Brewers' later iteration (which I like).
Anyway, onto the next team!
WASHINGTON NATIONALS (former Baltimore Orioles) - Founding a cartoon
We are all familiar (or will soon be) with Peter Angelos' many attempts to prevent a team from moving to Washington, D.C.'s RFK Stadium. He saw DC as Orioles territory (part of the reason why he held off on a "Baltimore" script for the road uniforms for so long), which both antagonized many attempts to place a team in the market and resulted in the MASN disaster. Angelos was not alone in seeing DC as Orioles country. In fact, one of his predecessors wanted to take it a bit further.
Edward Bennett Williams, a minority owner of the Washington Football Team, bought the Orioles in 1979. It was heavily rumored that he wanted to move the team to DC for the 1981 season. However, the team wound up renewing their lease at Memorial Stadium, despite the DC Armory Board offering them a 1-year, $12,500 per month lease. The Orioles would rather be Washington's team by proxy (with the possibility of playing 13 games at RFK each year), rather than playing in the city proper.1
However, what if the O's had pulled a Spanos and committed to a full-time move?
I opted to use the Nationals name again since the Rangers still owned the "Senators" trademark. Since I didn't want to add another navy/red team to the AL East, the team would use the Presidential Seal colors in a co-dominant fashion. Copper appears as an accent color.
The most obvious part of this translation is to do as I did for my St. Louis Browns alternate take, turning Wally Bird into a Founding Father. Using a few references and some much-appreciated help from @Htown1141, I made the adaptation. He's in a roundel for the primary and on his own for the secondary. The "W" on his tricorn hat and the tertiary is the 1955-60 Washington Senators' cap logo. EDIT: I forgot to add the flesh Pantone, original image here.
The uniforms feature slightly-adjusted versions of the modern Nationals' scripts, with 1960s-early '90s Orioles-style hard edges on the letters. Double outlines and three-layer striping takes full advantage of the color scheme, with the sock stripes adapt the 1960s Orioles' pattern. The caps have a slate blue bill, while the primary is on the sleeves.
The alternates include both slate and black jerseys. The slate jersey has a white front-panel cap, while the black jersey uses the road script.
The second set of alts pairs the white front-panel cap with the home uniform, while also offering a pinstriped throwback. This one places the Founding Father on the sleeve while placing the "W" on the cap. I re-used the script from my Washington Padres concept, while placing the block W on the cap.
The jacket highlights the co-dominance of each color. EDIT: This design now features a Swingin' Founder!
While the Orioles pulling a Spanos would have been an awful idea, they could have adapted their identity well enough. C+C is appreciated, as always!
Up next, I've got some updates to Defunct Saga and Project 32 concepts!

Really like the Orioles style of the Washington Nationals especially with the presidential seal colors. The cartoon founding father reminds me of the Washington Senators 'pitching senator' logo though.
This is brilliant! The re-purposed King Louis logo, the color balance, the sock stripes...everything is great. The white front paneled cap option is the best look, in my opinion.

This is so awesome that you can do these great uniforms concepts. You should try and do designs the actual uniforms for comparison purposes. But I am so impressed and like what I see.

Kind of a weird logo, but still, just like the St. Louis one, I love it!

I've got a few updates ready to go!
For @NicDB, I've got some Brewers alternates and the Nats tweak.
I rather like how these turned out, especially the alternate cap.
I'm not totally sure about the slate numbers, but I do like the "DC" on the cap.
Now, it's time to update the Oriole-ized St. Louis Browns, with a tweaked version of Swingin' Louie! I've tweaked his hair, nose, eyebrows, and eye outlines to look a bit more complete. Thanks for the consult, @Htown1141!
It now looks a bit more polished now.
All the updates look great!
As for updating some previous concepts, I'd still like to see a full green/gold/red set for the Los Angeles A's.
Just now, coco1997 said:
Thanks! The LA A's will receive their update in due time, but I also feel like giving them an additional re-do. I'm not happy with how they turned out.
I've also got a Project 32 update of the Baltimore Orioles!
While compiling all of the Orioles-based designs, I began to have issues with my original Orioles concept (the link describes the thought process behind it). I really didn't like how my attempt to clean up the 1956-72 road script turned out, as I didn't go far enough to clean it up to the standard of the home design. I've revised it to use the "B" from my Oriole-ized Browns concept, while also cleaning up the letterforms and matching the home script a bit more.
Both the Wally Bird cap logo and the Swingin' Bird have been adjusted to feature the new "B." Here is the updated cap logo comparison, along with one for the Swingin' Bird design.
I adjusted the primary logo to use a larger Swingin' Bird, for ease of embroidery. The team wordmark now bears the city name, rendered in Futura Bold.
The uniform designs are relatively unchanged, save for some striping resizing and replacing the cursive B cap with the new rendering.
Now that I've got the Orioles up to my modern standard, let's get to comparisons! These include the Orioles, St. Louis Browns, Oriole-ized Browns, re-established Brewers, and AL Nationals.
I'd say that I've got a handle on how to design the O's and their many derivatives.
Up next, we head to Virginia for some Fury-ous designs!
Would love to see a realistic bird update for the O's in my opinion it's their best look. The cartoon bird is largely overrated

The Pirates x Nationals combination isn't my favorite personally, but you definitely did all you could while maintaining the color balance you desired, which I understand.
The Orioles x Nationals does better at balancing out the colors without being muddy, mostly because you have more to work with and can afford to bring in more blue. I especially love the home uniforms, the sock design, as well as the George Washington logo and updated King Louie.
Great job as always!

The Boston Braves were renamed the Boston Bees from 1936 to 1941 and The Philadelphia Phillies were briefly known as the Philadelphia Blue Jays in the 1940's. And before the Cleveland Indians were the Cleveland Spiders. Would love to see your version of these.

Q: HDMI display just stopped working I am using Ubuntu (Kodibuntu actually, which is a flavor of Trusty) and I connected my display via HDMI. This has been working for years but today the display just stopped working.
I can see the boot screen, navigate through the boot menu, etc, but when the system enter grub or Ubuntu boot, the screen just goes black and says there is nothing connected to it. I can connect to that pc via SSH normally.
I don't even know how to start debugging this. Anyone has any idea?
Edit
Got somewhere (it now displays a scaled image) with the following
gtf 1920 1080 25
xrandr -d :0 --newmode "1920x1080_25.00" 64.88 1920 1952 2144 2368 1080 1081 1084 1096 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr -d :0 --addmode HDMI1 "1920x1080_25.00"
xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI1 --mode "1920x1080_25.00"
But I need to do this every time I boot. How can I do something similar automatically?
A: This can be a hardware problem, so if you have a dedicated graphics card with the driver installed, make sure the display is connected to it.
Also make sure that there isn't an issue with the Display (try connect it to another computer and see the results or try another HDMI cable).

Miguel Ángel Gómez Leyva (* 5. September 1957 in Mexiko-Stadt) ist ein mexikanischer Fußballtrainer und ehemaliger -spieler auf der Position eines Stürmers.
Laufbahn
Spieler
Gómez spielte zunächst für den Puebla FC und wechselte 1983 zum CF Oaxtepec, für den er in der Saison 1983/84 insgesamt 9 Tore erzielte. Als die Erstliga-Lizenz des Vereins 1984 mit einem Großteil der Spieler auf die Ángeles de Puebla übertragen worden war, spielte Gómez für diesen Verein, für den er in der Saison 1984/85 insgesamt 19 Tore erzielte und somit den zweiten Platz der Torschützenliste hinter dem achtfachen Torschützenkönig der mexikanischen Liga, Evanivaldo Castro vom Club León, belegte.
Für die Saison 1987/88 wechselte er zum Hauptstadtverein CD Cruz Azul (es war die einzige Spielzeit, in der Gómez in seiner Geburtsstadt spielte) und anschließend zum Tampico-Madero FC, dessen Lizenz nach der Saison 1980/90 auf den Querétaro Fútbol Club übertragen wurde, bei dem Gómez seine aktive Laufbahn 1993 beendete und anschließend in den Trainerstab übernommen wurde.
Trainer
Im Torneo Invierno 1999 war Gómez Assistenztrainer von Javier Aguirre, als der CF Pachuca die mexikanische Fußballmeisterschaft gewann. In der Saison 2003/04 übte Gómez bei den Jaguares de Acapulco erstmals das Amt eines Cheftrainers aus. Zehn Jahre später betreute Gómez die in der drittklassigen Segunda División spielende Mannschaft der Linces de Tlaxcala, mit der er die Hinrundenmeisterschaft der Liga de Ascenso in der Apertura 2013 gewann.
2015 arbeitete er als Assistent von Sergio Almaguer im Trainerstab der mexikanischen U-20-Nationalmannschaft und ist aktuell als Assistenztrainer der U-20-Mannschaft des Querétaro Fútbol Club tätig.

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Ursinus College wrestling team sent its seniors off in style with a pair of commanding victories on Saturday, the squad's final tune-up for regionals.
Patrick Ammirati, Anthony Cutrufello, Zachary Goranson, and Patrick Rowe all picked wins in contested bouts on Senior Day for the Bears, who easily dispatched Williamson (45-6) and Penn State Mont Alto (56-0) to cap the dual-meet season with a 9-3 record. That trio was honored alongside Zachary Dellicompagni, Jarret DiGiantomasso, Edward Howlette, William McGinley, and Zebulin Pfeiffer in a pre-match ceremony.
After a pair of forfeits in the opening match against Williamson, two of eight on the day, freshman Kyle Seibert opened the proceedings by pinning Jeremy Gannon with 13 seconds remaining in the second period at 141 pounds.
Goranson picked up a 16-0 technical fall in less than two minutes at 165, and rookie Gary Nagle took down Avery Frank in just 2:18 at 174.
Cutrufello added another fall to his team-leading tally by dropping Nick Venuti in the waning seconds of the second period at 184.
Freshman Kyle Schaffer recorded an 11-1 major decision over Michael O'Brien at 197.
Wickramaratna was able to compete against Mont Alto and took advantage, pinning Dan Bertram midway through the second period of their 125-pound bout.
Ammirati followed with a 10-7 decision over Mason Blank at 133, and Seibert notched a 23-7 technical fall defeat of Bryce Palamar at 141.
Rowe pinned Mitchell Krcelic early in the second period at 149 before Howlette received a forfeit at 157.
Goranson made it a 2-0 day with a quick pin of Joe Mays at 165. The final four weight classes were all forfeits by Mont Alto. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,978 |
Speaking at M-A, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni challenges college admission myths
by Kate Flanagan on April 14, 2015
Frank Bruni, New York Times columnist and bestselling author, spoke at Menlo-Atherton High School last week, sharing his thoughts on the college admission process and the conversation surrounding it. His newest book, Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be, highlights the importance of picking a school based on the characteristics of the school itself, not it's "brand name" or it's selectivity. Selectiveness and exclusiveness, Bruni maintained, do not denote quality.
During the talk, Bruni and Alice Kleeman, M-A's college counselor, answered a variety of questions regarding college admissions. Audience members were encouraged to write down questions for Kleeman and Bruni to answer.
Among other topics discussed, Bruni and Kleeman agreed that in order to change the seemingly flawed college admission process, the conversation surrounding it must change. Bruni suggested making the conversation broader and more truthful, as well as emphasizing that there are many paths to success. To challenge the pre-existing notion that only certain schools provide the foundation for success, he posed the question: Was it the school itself or a person's privileged upbringing that brought them success?
This issue of correlation and causation, as Bruni called it, also translates into the media's status conscience style of profiling successful celebrities and politicians. Bruni cited a number of instances in which the media attributed one's success to their highly selective college. However, as Bruni put it, "Ivies [Ivy Leagues] do not explain it all."
Instead of choosing a college based on how a much it's name will impress people, Bruni advised prospective students to base their decision on which school will introduce them to new people, challenge pre-existing presumptions and broaden their horizons. In addition, Bruni suggested that parents urge their children to excel and strive for excellence, but not for the soul purpose of impressing colleges.
In his book, he stresses that there is "no prescription for success or contentment." Rather, one's drive, passion and social nimbleness will pave the way to success more than any Ivy League college. Bruni concluded by saying that certain characteristics that contribute to success, such as the ability to turn on a dime, are not learned at a college with a 10% acceptance rate.
As part of the M-A Parent Education Series, Frank Bruni's talk was overwhelmingly successful and was one of the most sought after events in M-A's history.

Vickers Vildebeest
a build story by Carmel John Attard
The year 1935 was a year to be remembered for activities taking place at Hal-Far airfield in Malta as far as aircraft movements and activities are concerned. By February that year the activity generated at Hal Far by aircraft carriers of the Mediterranean Fleet came to a head when HMS Courageous, Furious and Eagle were all at the Grand Harbour at Valletta all at the same time. These created an unacceptable number of movements to and from the airfield.
The Rear Admiral in command of the carriers, the Rt.Hon. Sir Alexander Ramsey visited Hal Far on 5th February and was apparently able to sort things out, relieving the load on Hal Far's pressed ground crew.
The Jubilee of His Majesty Kind George V was celebrated in Malta by a review held at Marsa race course on 6th May 1935, and the Hal Far based units: 447 Flight with Fairey IIIF, 812 Squadron with Blackburn Baffin and 825 Squadron also with Fairey IIIF and Station Flight, took part. 812 Squadron excelled by carrying out illuminated night-flying, while two Avro Tutors, presumably belonging to Station Flight, performed illuminated aerobatics.
In June 1935 night time theme was continued when Hal Far aircraft took part in night exercises for the benefit of the Army searchlight operators. This activity may have taken place just at the right time. In the Autumn of that year Italy's dictator Benito Mussolini renewed Italian attempts to conquer Abysinnia (Ethiopia) and Great Britain sent two RAF squadrons to Malta as a precautionary measure. These were 74 Squadron equipped with Hawker Demons, while 22 Squadron with Wildebeest which arrived on 10th October.
22Squadron left its UK base at Donibristle in Scotland on 3rd October1935. After passage from Glasgow on board SS Cameronia the Squadron personnel, under the command of Squadron Leader R.J.M. de St.Leger, arrived in Grand Harbour on 10th October and travelled to Hal Far.
By 22nd October the Squadron Wildebeest aircraft had been erected and tested, and the squadron was able to begin a programme of offensive training. Simulated attacks on destroyers in the Malta area formed the main part of the task, which continued, interspersed with period of work with 74 Squadron's Hawker Demons, until the following July. On 20th July 1936 the order was received for the Wildebeest, apart from K4608, which has been destroyed in a fatal crash on 5th June, to be dismantled for the return to UK. By 25th July the aircraft had been moved to Kalafrana and before long the personnel followed, finally embarking on HMS Somersetshire on 21st August for a homeward voyage, and so ending the 11 month long connection of the Wildebeest with Hal Far airfield.
The Wildebeest was the replacement for the Hawker Horsley for Coastal Command work in the role of Torpedo bomber. First flown in April 1928 with a Jupiter VI engine. Long trials were carried out at Martelsham RAF Station. A float version was also underwent trials at Felixstowe. Cooling problems with various engines delayed trials.
Vickers built a second prototype as a private venture powered by Armstrong-Siddeley Panther II radial engine and the problem of engine cooling persisted. Installation of a Bristol Pegasus radial engine solved the cooling problem and this motor became the standard power plant for production Mk1, 2, and 3.
A float version powered by a Hispano Suiza 12-cylinder in line engine was built at the request of the Spanish Air Force. The type was eventually built under licence in Spain, 25 aircraft being built.
There were four versions of the Wildebeest. Mk1, 2 and 4 carried a crew of 2 while Mk3 carried a crew of 3. 181 Wildebeest were built while New Zealand purchased 50 Mk3s and 8 Mk4s. Another version evolved from the Wildebeest was known as Vincent. This was equipped with a belly tank for longer range and had a message pick-up hook for Army co-operation duties and also provision for carriage of personnel crew gear.
Vincents were to replace Wapitis and Fairey IIIFs in ground attack duties. A third seat position was brought into use giving the Vincent a more versatile role. 191 airframes were built or were converted from Wildebeest. New Zealand received 21 Vincents.
The kit was forwarded to me by Bill Arnold of Florida after he came to know that the Type had a good connection with pre-war aviation in Malta. Released by Contrail some 30 years ago the kit consisted of 17 vac-form parts in soft white plastic and 7 white metal parts. Three different sizes of Contrail struts also come with the kit. Any of the Mk1 to Mk4 versions could be built and there are decal markings for a MkII in Aluminium dope finish and a Vincent Mk1 in Dark green, dark earth and sky camouflage scheme. A radial cowling is also included to allow a Mk4 to be modelled and a 3 blade prop is also given for this version.
Kit pack contained accurate 1/72-scale plans. This proved very useful throughout the constructon and rigging detail work. The vac parts are cut, sanded and checked for accuracy before detail is added to the interior. Fuselage side port holes are cut and shaped followed by detailing the inside compartments, that of the pilot and the rear gun operator. Good reference material is imperative for accurate detailing the kit both for the inside and outside.
The fuselage halves are first detailed, cutting port windows and adding the inside compartments particularly that of the pilot and rear gunner.. Detail such as the gun mounting, step ladder, aerials on wings, aiming site in front of the cockpit, all had to be scratch built, some made from stretch sprue, others from metal wire. The detailed Pegasus engine mount, which comes in white metal, required careful trimming and cleaning and then I added other surface detail to the kit. Supply pipes and drains to wing tanks were made out of metal wire. Control lines added to elevators while rigging was added after careful study of the position of each rig line. Bomb racks added under the wings. These were left without bombs attached as it was decided that the aircraft should be armed with a torpedo.
A suitable torpedo was picked from the spares box and an array of wire attachment was built to hold the torpedo in place. The pylon wire attachment was built in such a way so that the torpedo was held in place, tilted at an angle to the floor level.
Colour and markings
The Wildebeest Mk II was completed as K4176 attached to No 36 squadron that was based at Seletar, Singapore 1936. Forward fuselage was airbrushed silver-grey dull aluminium. All other surfaces completed in silver dope. A red stripe was painted on wheel spats. Kit decals were used and in spite of their age they remained as good as new.
wartime service in Malaysia
At Seletar, anti-submarine patrols were flown and a large number of torpedoes stored at Kuantan were flown back to base where the aircraft were widely dispersed. A few were damaged in air raids during January of 1942 but on the 9th the two squadrons were released for night operations, twelve from No 36 attacking Ipoh airfield. Supply drops to isolated army units were also carried out. The 25 remaining Wildebeests also carried attacks on Kuala Lumpur with sorties by No 36 while No 100 also with Wildebeests sent 11 to Quantan without loss. On 24th January, 11 Wildebeests and three Albacores destroyed the railway bridge at Labis.
On 26th January, a Japanese convoy consisting of cruisers, destroyers and transports were attacked 20 miles NE of Endau as it prepared to land troops on the eastern coast of Malaya. Twelve Wildebeests were sent off in daylight in company with nine RAAF Hudsons and an escort of Hurricanes and Buffalos. Five from 100 were lost and later nine Wildebeests, three Albacores and twelve fighters were intercepted by Japanese fighters on a second strike. Five of No 36's Wildebeests and all three Albacores being lost, which included K4176 represented by this model. Some damage to the ships was reported but the troops had already landed and nearly half of Singapore's strike force had been lost.
On 31st January, the remaining Wildebeests were loaded with torpedos and left for Kemajoran in Java. Fifteen Wildebeests and two Albacores made the flight and on arrival they were grouped into No 36 Squadron, No 100 disbanding. By 6th March only two remained and these were given permission to fly to Sumatra where both were to be ditched and the crews would attempt to find transport to Ceylon. Unfortunately one crew was immediately captures while three of the four occupants on the second aircraft were killed during ditching.
It was the end of Wildebeests operations in South-East Asia. This had been a case of obsolete aircraft caught up in a war for which it had never been designed.
I have a fascination to these British between wars types, and such a variety all seemed to have been deployed to Hal Far airfield at one time or other. In fact I am looking forward to make a start on a Blackburn fleet reconnaissance biplane and a Bison of Fleet Air Arm that were once frequent visitors here during the pre-war peaceful period.

Carmel, I love your work and features! I don't know what is in the water at Malta but I'd like a big drink of it. Have you considered building a Skua?
cjattard
Thanks Rowan and JPTRR. You are welcome JPTRR to drink as much as you would like. Matter of fact we are in short supply of rain water but several Reverse Osmosis plants fitted here converts Mediterranean sea water into drinking water. As for the Skua I have made 2 already. All the best...Carmel
Joel_W
Carmel, Your work, and it's presentation continually amaze me. I'm more then impressed with anyone that can transform bits and pieces from those vacuum sheets into a perfectly built aircraft. And yet you kicked it up a few notches, and built a bi-plane and rigged it!! You weathering adds that little something to make your models that much more realistic. And then to think that all of this is in 1/72 scale. I haven't a clue as to how you managed it all. Then you treat us with your most realistic photo presentations. I'm assuming your using Photoshop to combine more then one image. The blurred prop is a small but very important element. I also noticed that all your lighting is from above and one directional, which duplicated the sun with it's resulting shadows perfectly. Of course the spectacular water scenery and clouds just helps to create the perfect display pictures. Joel

Gary Neville Delays Joining Up With England
England assistant coach Gary Neville has delayed joining up with Roy Hodgson's squad for this month's friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands so he can focus on putting things right with his beleaguered Valencia team.
Neville's struggling side suffered a third consecutive league defeat on Sunday in a 2-0 home loss to Celta Vigo and supporters at the Mestalla chanted "Neville go now" in unison for the first time since he took charge in December.
"I have just spoken to Roy Hodgson and am going to stay back in Valencia. I feel it's the right thing to do," Neville told a news conference after the match.
Last week the 41-year-old ex-England full back reiterated his plans to be with the England players at the start of the international break to prepare for the Germany game in Berlin on Saturday and the visit of the Dutch three days later.
But after a chastening defeat by Celta, which leaves Valencia 14th in La Liga and just six points above the relegation zone, Neville said he would not now be joining the England squad until next Thursday.
"Obviously it's not an ideal situation, in respect to the fact that before I cam here I was the assistant coach for the national team of England, with 60 million people, but I understand the two or three million people in Valencia need my attention this week," Neville added.
"The last thing I want is for people here to say Gary Neville lacks commitment, because it's not something that's ever been said about me in my life.
READ Manchester United Will Only Improve Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Wes Brown
"Obviously I have a dual role, at this moment in time. I've been England coach for three and a half years and I've loved doing that. These are friendly matches, very important matches for England, but I also have three very important days here coaching the players.
"I said last week I've come to love this club and this city, and I want to give my all to the club, they deserve nothing less."
The defeat by Celta came three days after Valencia were eliminated from the Europa League in the round of 16 by fellow Spanish side Athletic Bilbao on away goals, despite beating the Basques 2-1 at the Mestalla.
Neville has won just three league games since succeeding Nuno Espirito Santo as Valencia coach, drawing five and losing eight, and his side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey at the semifinal stage, losing 8-1 to holders Barcelona on aggregate.

How the Global Inequality Gap Has Changed In 200 Years
What makes a person healthy, wealthy, and wise? The UN's Human Development Index (HDI) measures this by one's life expectancy, average income, and years of education.
However, the value of each metric varies greatly depending on where you live. Today's data visualization from Max Roser at Our World in Data summarizes five basic dimensions of development across countries—and how our average standards of living have evolved since 1800.
Health: Mortality Rates and Life Expectancy
Child mortality rates and life expectancy at birth are telltale signs of a country's overall standard of living, as they indicate a population's ability to access healthcare services.
Iceland stood at the top of these ranks in 2017, with only a 0.21% mortality rate for children under five years old. On the other end of the spectrum, Somalia had the highest child mortality rate of 12.7%—over three times the current global average.
While there's a stark contrast between the best and worst performing countries, it's clear that even Somalia has made significant strides since 1800. At that time, the global average child mortality rate was a whopping 43%.
Lower child mortality is also tied to higher life expectancy. In 1800, the average life expectancy was that of today's millennial—only 29 years old:
Today, the global average has shot up to 72.2 years, with areas like Japan exceeding this benchmark by more than a decade.
Education: Mean and Expected Years of Schooling
Education levels are measured in two distinct ways:
Mean years: the average number of years a person aged 25+ receives in their lifetime
Expected years: the total years a 2-year old child is likely to spend in school
In the 1800s, the mean and expected years of education were both less than a year—only 78 days to be precise. Low attendance rates occurred because children were expected to work during harvests, or contracted long-term illnesses that kept them at home.
Since then, education levels have drastically improved:
Mean Years of Schooling
Expected Years of schooling
Global Average
Highest Germany 🇩🇪: 14.1 years Australia 🇦🇺: 22.9 years
Lowest Burkina Faso 🇧🇫: 1.5 years South Sudan 🇸🇸: 4.9 years
Research shows that investing in education can greatly narrow the inequality gap. Just one additional year of school can:
Raise a person's income by up to 10%
Raise average annual GDP growth by 0.37%
Reduce the probability of motherhood by 7.3%
Reduce the likelihood of child marriage by >5 percentage points
Education has a strong correlation with individual wealth, which cascades into national wealth. Not surprisingly, average income has ballooned significantly in two centuries as well.
Wealth: Average GDP Per Capita
Global inequality levels are the most stark when it comes to GDP per capita. While the U.S. stands at $54,225 per person in 2017, resource-rich Qatar brings in more than double this amount—an immense $116,936 per person.
The global average GDP per capita is $15,469, but inequality heavily skews the bottom end of these values. In the Central African Republic, GDP per capita is only $661 today—similar to the average income two hundred years ago.
A Virtuous Cycle
These measures of development clearly feed into one another. Rising life expectancies are an indication of a society's growing access to healthcare options. Compounded with more years of education, especially for women, this has had a ripple effect on declining fertility rates, contributing to higher per capita incomes.
People largely agree on what goes into human well-being: life, health, sustenance, prosperity, peace, freedom, safety, knowledge, leisure, happiness… If they have improved over time, that, I submit, is progress.
As technology accelerates the pace of change across these indicators, will the global inequality gap narrow more, or expand even wider?

The Problem of an Aging Global Population, Shown by Country
An Investing Megatrend: How Demographics and Social Changes are Shaping the Future
Mapped: The World's Top 10 Cities in 2035
Visualizing Global Attitudes Towards Retirement
The data behind the world's rapidly aging population, and what it could mean for the economy and future generations of retirees.
Katie Jones
The Implications of an Aging Population
The world is experiencing a seismic demographic shift—and no country is immune to the consequences.
While increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates are considered major achievements in modern science and healthcare, they will have a significant impact on future generations.
Today's graphic relies on OECD data to demonstrate how the old-age to working-age ratio will change by 2060, highlighting some of the world's fastest aging countries.
The Demographic Debacle
By 2050, there will be 10 billion people on earth, compared to 7.7 billion today—and many of them will be living longer. As a result, the number of elderly people per 100 working-age people will nearly triple—from 20 in 1980, to 58 in 2060.
Populations are getting older in all OECD countries, yet there are clear differences in the pace of aging. For instance, Japan holds the title for having the oldest population, with ⅓ of its citizens already over the age of 65. By 2030, the country's workforce is expected to fall by 8 million—leading to a major potential labor shortage.
In another example, while South Korea currently boasts a younger than average population, it will age rapidly and end up with the highest old-to-young ratio among developed countries.
A Declining Workforce
Globally, the working-age population will see a 10% decrease by 2060. It will fall the most drastically by 35% or more in Greece, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. On the other end of the scale, it will increase by more than 20% in Australia, Mexico, and Israel.
Israel's notably higher increase of 67% is due to the country's high fertility rate, which is comparable to "baby boom" numbers seen in the U.S. following the second World War.
As countries prepare for the coming decades, workforce shortages are just one of the impacts of aging populations already being felt.
Managing the Risks
There are many other social and economic risks that we can come to expect as the global population continues to age:
The Squeezed Middle: With more people claiming pension benefits but less people paying income taxes, the shrinking workforce may be forced to pay higher taxes.
Rising Healthcare Costs: Longer lives do not necessarily mean healthier lives, with those over 65 more likely to have at least one chronic disease and require expensive, long-term care.
Economic Slowdown: Changing workforces may lead capital to flow away from rapidly aging countries to younger countries, shifting the global distribution of economic power.
The strain on pension systems is perhaps the most evident sign of a drastically aging population. Although the average retirement age is gradually increasing in many countries, people are saving insufficiently for their increased life span—resulting in an estimated $400 trillion deficit by 2050.
Pensions Under Pressure
A pension is promised, but not necessarily guaranteed. Any changes made to existing government programs can alter the lives of future retirees entirely—but effective pension reforms that lessen the growing deficit are required urgently.
Towards a Better System
Certain countries are making great strides towards more sustainable pension systems, and the Global Pension Index suggests initiatives that governments can take into consideration, such as:
Continuing to increase the age of retirement
Increasing the level of savings—both inside and outside pension funds
Increasing the coverage of private pensions across the labor force, including self-employed and contract employees, to provide improved integration between various pillars
Preserving retirement funds by limiting the access to benefits before the retirement age
Increasing the trust and confidence of all stakeholders by improving transparency of pension plans
Although 59% of employees are expecting to continue earning well into their retirement years, providing people with better incentives and options to make working at an older age easier could be crucial for ensuring continued economic growth.
As 2020 marks the beginning of the Decade of Healthy Ageing, the world is undoubtedly entering a pivotal period.
Countries all over the world face tremendous pressure to effectively manage their aging populations, but preparing for this demographic shift early will contribute to the economic advancement of countries, and allow populations—both young and old—to live long and prosper.
The world's two most populous countries have some economic similarities, but China and India are also diverging in one key area: demographics.
Jeff Desjardins
How the Demographics of China and India are Diverging
Within popular discourse, especially in the West, the profiles of China and India have become inextricably linked.
Aside from their massive populations and geographical proximity in Asia, the two nations also have deep cultural histories and traditions, growing amounts of influence on the world stage, and burgeoning middle classes.
China and India combine to be home to one-third of the world's megacities, and they even had identical real GDP growth rates of 6.1% in 2019, based on early estimates by the IMF.
Diverging Demographics
But aside from the obvious differences in their political regimes, the two populous nations have also diverged in another way: demographics.
As seen in today's animation, which comes from AnimateData and leverages data from the United Nations, the two countries are expected to have very different demographic compositions over time as their populations age.
The easiest way to see this is through a macro lens:
Populations of China and India (1950-2100)
🇮🇳 India 0.38 billion 1.37 billion 1.64 billion 1.45 billion
🇨🇳 China 0.55 billion 1.43 billion 1.40 billion 1.06 billion
Although the countries have roughly the same populations today — by 2050, India will add roughly 270 million more citizens, and China's total will actually decrease by 30 million people.
Let's look at the demographic profiles of these countries to break things down further. We'll do this by charting populations of age groups (0-14 years, 15-24 years, 25-64 years, and 65+ years).
China: Aftermath of the One-Child Policy
China's one-child policy was implemented in 1979 — and although it became no longer effective starting in 2016, there's no doubt that the long-term demographic impacts of this drastic measure will be felt for generations:
The first thing you'll notice in the above chart is that China's main working age population cohort (25-64 years) has essentially already peaked in size.
Further, you'll notice that the populations of children (0-14 years) and young adults (15-24 years) have both been on the decline for decades.
A reduction in births is something that happens naturally in a demographic transition. As an economy becomes more developed, it's common for fertility rates to decrease — but in China's case, it has happened prematurely through policy. As a result, the country's age distribution doesn't really fit a typical profile.
India: A Workforce Peaking in 2050
Meanwhile, projections have India reaching a peak workforce age population near the year 2050:
By the year 2050, it's estimated that India's workforce age population will be comparable in size to that of China's today — over 800 million people strong.
However, given that this is at least 30 years in the future, it raises all kinds of questions around the economic relevance of a "working age" population in a landscape potentially dominated by technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation.
Different Paths
While it's clear that the world's two most populous countries have some key similarities, they are both on very different demographic paths at the moment.
China's population has plateaued, and will eventually decline over the remainder of the 21st century. There is plenty of room to grow economically, but the weight of an aging population will create additional social and economic pressures. By 2050, it's estimated that over one-third of the country will be 60 years or older.
On the other hand, India is following a more traditional demographic path, as long as it is uninterrupted by drastic policy decisions. The country will likely top out at 1.6-1.7 billion people, before it begins to experience the typical demographic transition already experienced by more developed economies in North America, Europe, and Japan.
And by the time the Indian workforce age group hits 800+ million people, it will be interesting to see how things interplay with the world's inevitable technological shift to automation and a changing role for labor. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 1,983 |

Within the ICT/Media faculty our vision is enable all students to have the opportunity to study and achieve in the exciting and life changing qualification of Computing. Furthermore, we want to empower students to be safe online so that they are aware of the dangers, know how to avoid them and what to do if a problem does arise. Creating productive members of society where their computing ability enables, rather than limits, them to fulfil their potential in this electronic age.
We are currently changing the curriculum where year 11 (2017-18) will be our final cohort taking the OCR ICT Cambridge nationals qualification, from then on all students will be taking the OCR Computer Science qualification (1-9).
At Key Stage 3, students are introduced to the core hardware components. They learn how data is represented and are taught how to program using Python, which is an industry standard textual programming language. Students also learn how to stay safe online. Students are assessed every half term and all learning at Key Stage 3 is carefully planned to enable students to progress onto the OCR Computer Science qualification.
At Key Stage 4, all students "Begin" their journey on the Computer Science OCR 1-9 Specification, which also qualifies students for the EBacc. Students will build on the knowledge learned at KS3. Covering "Computer systems" in year 9 then moving onto "Computational thinking, algorithms and programming" in year 10. Students will complete the controlled assessment in year 11.
Students also have the ability to choose at Key Stage 4 Media Studies, either a two year (Year 9/10 AQA 8572) or a one year qualification (Year 11 AQA 4812) in GCSE Media Studies. Furthermore students can choose to study Creative Media (L2 BTEC) in their 9/10 option.
At Key Stage 5, students can choose between two highly subscribed subjects of Computer Science A-level (OCR H046 AS-Exam/ OCR H446 A2 Qualification) and Creative Media (National Diploma) L3 BTEC. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,985 |
Lost Boy is a 2017 dark fantasy novel by Christina Henry inspired by the work of J.M. Barrie.
Set in the world of Neverland, Lost Boy is about Jamie, one of Peter Pan's Lost Boys, who begins to grow increasingly disenchanted with Peter as he slowly grows up.
Summary
Jamie is a young boy who lives on the magical fantasy island of Neverland brought to the island by Peter Pan to be one of his playmates. Jamie is Peter's longest serving companion and feels they have a special bond.
Jamie acts as a surrogate parent to the boys and is especially protective of newcomer Charlie as he is much younger than the others. Peter grows jealous of Charlie and Jamie begins to suspect that Peter might indirectly allow Charlie to die through neglect.
While planning a trip to battle pirates, the boys are attacked by a Many-Eyed, one of the giant poisonous spiders on the island. Jamie manages to kill the spider much to Peter's displeasure, who accidentally reveals that he has a treaty with the beasts allowing them to kill whichever boys they want while leaving Peter alone.
Jamie later discovers that Nip, one of the older boys, has tried to kill Charlie on Peter's instructions though Peter has plausible deniability as his instructions were ambiguous. Though Charlie survives the attack Peter suggests that Nip and Jamie participate in Battle, a gladiator hand-to-hand combat where the boys try to kill each other with only one boy surviving.
During Battle Jamie realizes that Nip disclosed their location to pirates. He manages to murder Nip but the pirates attack, killing and wounding several of the other boys. One of the boys, Sal, is stabbed. When Jamie tends to his wounds he realizes Sal is actually a girl called Sally. The news infuriates Peter, who throws a tantrum and disappears.
Jamie helps Sally recover and the two begin to have romantic feelings for one another. The group become disenchanted with Peter and Jamie, along with Sal, plot to go back to the other world, where they originally came from. Before they can leave Jamie goes to visit the tree that acts as a portal between worlds and discovers it has been hacked down. He additionally finds Charlie and Peter gone and realizes Peter intends to kill Charlie by leaving him among the Many-Eyed.
Jamie goes to the field where the Many-Eyed live and burns them out. He and Sal manage to save Charlie who reveals to them that Peter is now able to fly thanks to a tamed fairy he calls Tink.
Returning to their home to find the rest of the boys Jamie discovers one of them murdered by Peter while the other, Nod, survives an attack. Nod and Jamie go to reunite with Sal and Charlie on the beach where they plan to escape by boat and arrive in time to save Charlie from Peter. Sal however is dead from a crocodile attack orchestrated by Peter.
Discovering that the boat they were planning to use has been destroyed by Peter, Jamie accepts Peter's offer to perform one last Battle against him. Jamie overpowers Peter but does not succeed in killing him as Peter reveals that the island keeps him immortal. He curses Jamie to live on the island as an adult before cutting off his hand.
Jamie, Nod and Charlie go to live with the pirates where Jamie replaces his hand with a hook and becomes their captain. The pirates are befuddled they can never leave the island though they do not realize it is thanks to Jamie and his curse. Watching Peter take boys back and forth over the years Jamie continues to nourish his hatred of Peter.
Reception
Lost Boy received positive reviews with Tom Shippey of The Wall Street Journal calling it a "riveting story".

MENTOR was brought in to help a United Nations organization in its drive to develop job-related skills and improve employment prospects of young impoverished Iraqis.
This was to be achieved by running training programs in an established academy, on subjects such as management, mechanics, information technology, and English language fluency. The goal was to help the local youth acquire necessary job-oriented skills in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance of heavy machinery.
MENTOR also conducted 'Train the Trainer' programs in order to strengthen the local training capacity to deliver ongoing up-to-date training courses, relevant to the requirements of modern local enterprises. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,987 |
Plans have been revealed for a £48m treatment centre based at Salford Royal Hospital to care for some of the region's sickest patients.
The hospital is the principal receiving site for the Greater Manchester Major Trauma Service (GMMTS) and has been designated as the high acuity site (high risk surgery) for the north west sector of Greater Manchester.
The GMMTS is a partnership between Salford Royal and the key receiving site at Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI).
Rather than be taken to the nearest hospital, the majority of patients suffering these often devastating injuries are now taken to Salford Royal, ensuring they have rapid access to specialist treatment and state of the art imaging.
A helipad will be installed as part of the plans for the new building at Salford, which is scheduled to be completed in 2020.
The centre will include a resuscitation area, five emergency theatres, additional critical care beds and diagnostic imaging – all of which are also vital following Salford Royal's designation as the High Acuity site for the NW sector of GM.
In July 2017, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Chief Executive of NHS England Simon Stevens announced that Salford Royal would receive £48m from the Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) fund to make improvements to the emergency care facilities for major trauma and high risk surgery.
The plans are still in the initial stages and the full business case will need to be approved by NHS England before building work can begin. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,988 |
Austerity-driven base rate funding levels for school and college students aged 16-18 will remain at £4,000 for each student in 2019-20 for a seventh consecutive year, according to the Education and Skills Funding Agency, reports TES. A highly frustrated Sixth Form Colleges Association said the government's continuing funding freeze was inexplicable: students aged 18 were funded less than younger students, costs had mushroomed over the past five years, schools and colleges were being pressed by the government to do more and, meanwhile, student needs had grown in complexity.
The past four years have seen a 34% drop in graduate recruitment in the manufacturing sector while its take-up of apprentices has shot up 6% to 72% over the same period, reports TES. The figures from a survey of 160 companies carried out by EEF, the manufacturers' association, show a move towards companies training up their own skilled workers to fill continuing gaps in technical skills. The EEF said the higher education sector needed to be aware of the growing numbers of young people veering towards vocational qualifications such as degree apprenticeships.
A merger has taken place between the two charities Jisc (the IT advice agency serving the UK's FE and HE sectors) and Eduserv (digital transformation in the public sector). From January 1, both organisations will work as one reaching out beyond the UK to provide "unparalleled technological support to more than 20 million users in seven international markets including the US, Australia and Scandinavia". The new not-for-profit organisation aims to ensure the latest digital advances are shared between education and public sectors in the UK and to export its digital expertise in education and research across the world. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 1,989 |

Турнир столетия Футбольной лиги (; официальное спонсорское название — Mercantile Credit Football Festival) — английский товарищеский футбольный турнир, который прошёл в сезоне 1987/88 в рамках празднования 100-летнего юбилея с момента образования Футбольной лиги. Финальная часть турнира прошла 16 и 17 апреля 1988 года. Победу в нём одержал «Ноттингем Форест».
Мероприятие не смогло собрать полные стадионы: в первый день средняя посещаемость матчей составила 41,5 тысячу зрителей, а финал на «Уэмбли» собрал только 17 тысяч. Низкая посещаемость была связана, в том числе, с отсутствием ведущих лондонских клубов («Арсенала», «Тоттенхэм Хотспур», «Вест Хэм Юнайтед» и «Челси»).
Победу в турнире одержал «Ноттингем Форест», обыгравший в финале «Шеффилд Уэнсдей» в серии пенальти несмотря на отсутствие на матче главного тренера «Форест» Брайана Клафа. Главной сенсацией турнира стал клуб Четвёртого дивизиона «Транмир Роверс», который годом ранее с трудом избежал выбывания из Футбольной лиги, а на турнире дошёл до полуфинала, победив по пути клубы высшего дивизиона «Уимблдон» и «Ньюкасл Юнайтед» и уступив лишь клубу «Ноттингем Форест» по пенальти.
Предыстория
Столетний юбилей основания Футбольной лиги был отмечен целым рядом событий, прошедших с середины 1987 года по 1988 год. 8 августа 1987 года на «Уэмбли» прошёл матча между сборной Футбольной лиги и сборной мира (капитаном первой был Брайан Робсон, капитаном второй — Диего Марадона); матч завершился победой сборной Футбольной лиги со счётом 3:0 благодаря голу Нормана Уайтсайда и «дублю» Брайана Робсона. 25 ноября 1987 года чемпион Англии «Эвертон» сыграл с чемпионом ФРГ «Баварией» (на тот момент все английские клубы были дисквалифицированы из еврокубков после эйзельской трагедии); матч завершился победой «ирисок» со счётом 3:1. В августе — октябре 1988 года прошёл Трофей столетия Футбольной лиги, в котором сыграли 8 английских клубов; в финале «Арсенал» обыграл «Манчестер Юнайтед» со счётом 2:1. В целом праздничные мероприятия, спонсором которых стала компания Mercantile Credit, подверглись критике как слишком затянутые и скучные.
Турнир
Турнир столетия Футбольной лиги изначально задумывался как турнир для всех 92 клубов, входящих в Футбольную лигу, чтобы каждая из команд имела возможность сыграть на легендарном «Уэмбли». Однако в итоге в турнир были приглашены только 16 команд, выбранных на основании очков, которые они набрали в матчах чемпионата (из всёх четырёх дивизионов) за определённый промежуток времени.
Участники
В турнире приняло участие 16 клубов:
Суббота, 16 апреля 1988
В первый день прошло два раунда: раунд открытия и четвертьфиналы. Каждый матч на этой стадии длился по 40 минут. Из-за столь короткой продолжительности 7 из 12 матчей этого этапа завершились вничью (5 из них — без забитых мячей), после чего прошли серии послематчевых пенальти.
Команды, выигравшие в серии послематчевых пенальти, отмечены символом .

Stu's Pickle Juice Elixir is a force of nature — 100% pure, strength-boosting, endurance enhancing, cramp fighting elixir. Do a shot after a workout to fight cramps, or mix it with our water to aid hydration throughout.
Stu's know top athletes treat their bodies like temples.
That's why Stu's Elixir is a pure, safe, paleo-friendly alternative that keeps your body performing at 110%.
When this handcrafted pickle elixir contains four simple ingredients, why reach for a sports drink with harsh chemicals, piles of sugar, and neon colors? Until now pickle juice has been a secret well kept by trainers and coaches.
Whether mixed into your water bottle or shot back during acute cramping, Pickle juice is the ultimate solution to staying hydrated. Many high-intensity gyms, endurance athletes, and people pushing their bodies to new limits have chosen Stu's Pickle Juice Elixir.
We use after a workout to fight cramps or mix with our water to aid hydration throughout.

Even though John Fogerty has penned some of the most beloved songs in rock history, he still marvels, more than five decades into his career, that he didn't become a one-hit-wonder.
Most listeners, on the other hand, marvel at just how many tunes he placed on our cultural soundtrack; between 1968 and 1972, the Fogerty-led Creedence Clearwater Revival notched 15 top-20 hits, and he's had solo scores since.
The very fact that "Bad Moon Rising," "Born On The Bayou," "Fortunate Son" and "Proud Mary," among others, are familiar to so many means pairing with other talents to re-record them was a gamble that could have backfired as badly as trying to re-create Woodstock. Fortunately, Fogerty knew the risks and sought to rise above mere sing-along gimmickry, inviting his partners to share ideas for their tracks. Wrote A Song for Everyone, the result, is, at times, revelatory.
Fogerty and the Foo Fighters hit the ground running on "Fortunate Son," making the anti-war tirade loud and fast and angry, with guitar interplay that rocks even harder than the original. And with the hindsight of decades in which nothing's changed, the song's lyrics now carry an even sharper sting.
On "Almost Saturday Night," Fogerty and Keith Urban meld their similarly timbred voices in a jubilant arrangement full of banjo and mandolin – two instruments Fogerty likely wouldn't have dreamed of using when he originally recorded it in 1975. But there's also a little too much backing-vocal sugar; it's been sprinkled on "Born On The Bayou," "Train Of Fools" and "Proud Mary," too. That's one of the few flaws in an otherwise very strong collection; Fogerty didn't just re-energize these songs, he transformed many of them into something completely new.
"Bad Moon Rising," for example, shifts into a back-porch/honky-tonk charmer with blues harp, fiddle and organ. Fogerty and the Zac Brown Band must have had a blast firing off tremolo guitar solos; they also drop in a cool a cappella raveup and soul shouts that make it feel like a real Saturday-night party. "Long As I Can See The Light," with My Morning Jacket, sounds like the Sunday morning after, both melancholy and celebratory. A soulful, bluesy gospel-rocker, it's full of emotion – and even clearer meaning.
In fact, many of these songs sound clearer; Fogerty's diction certainly has improved with time, though his southern-fried accent (marinated almost entirely in California) is still intact. It's quite noticeable on "Lodi," a song full of tasty chicken-pickin' – courtesy of Shane and Tyler Fogerty, as well as their father, whose playing deserves more recognition than it typically gets.
He really revs up that six-string engine on "Hot Rod Heart" with Brad Paisley. The two conduct a James Burton-inspired axe duel which Fogerty has likened to a wild-west shootout (he claims Paisley won, but it's clearly a draw), and top those luscious licks with sweet harmonies to create a tune country radio should jump all over.
Speaking of country, Fogerty and Miranda Lambert harmonize well on the title track – then Tom Morello zips in for a cascading solo, teasing high notes from his guitar neck in an arrangement that also features well-placed keyboards and mandolin.
"Who'll Stop the Rain," with Bob Seger, and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," with Alan Jackson, don't change radically, and the new "Train Of Fools" doesn't feel particularly memorable. But another new tune, "Mystic Highway," picks up intensity after an a cappella break that elevates it substantially, as if it's two different songs.
Kid Rock wanted to elevate "Born On The Bayou," a tune he was born to grind out in all his good ol' boy glory. And he would have; there's enough grit in his vocals and the stellar guitar attack to sand an alligator's hide to nubs. But that backing-vocal punctuation steals some of Kid's swamp-creature sleaze. Everyone's fingers and toes stayed intact, but the song lost some bite.
One could almost say the same for "Proud Mary," with Jennifer Hudson, Allen Toussaint and the Rebirth Brass Band. It morphs from the Creedence version to the Tina Turner tour de force, but a different approach altogether might have been interesting. Still, there's no denying Hudson's chops. The better closer, however, would have been "Someday Never Comes," with Dawes. It's an affecting version, impeccably arranged, that stuns with soulful beauty.
If there's anything these songs show us, it's that composers should feel free to approach their work as Monet approached his water lilies, revisiting them constantly and painting them differently each time. Call it the Let It Be … Naked effect. Apparently, it's never too late for a re-do. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,000 |
After the success La Scala's ballet company during their dates in Tokyo – 10,000 people saw the 5 performances of Romeo and Juliet – they now return to Milan with four performances of Swan Lake from 14 to 18 October. This is a continuation of the performances in July, dedicated to Rudolf Nureyev in the 20th year after his death, presenting his very personal version of the ballet.
Nicoletta Manni and Carlo Di Lanno are two new names who will play the main roles, together with Christian Fagetti in the danced role of Rothbart, for the first two performances.
Nicoletta Manni, 22-years-old, came up through La Scala's ballet school, but immediately left Italy to dance abroad after her graduation. She entered the Milanese company last spring. Carlo Di Lanno, a 20-year-old Neapolitan, also spent time abroad after the La Scala school, now making his début as Siegfried.
This isn't the first time company director Makhar Vaziev has put his money on fresh, home-grown talent. Many eyebrows were raised when he announced that Claudio Coviello, who had gone from soloist to principal in a matter of months, was to partner ballet superstar Natalia Osipova during the July performances. It was a gamble that paid off.
Now they're back. On 17 and 18 October they will return to dance together in Swan Lake. They also danced together in Tokyo as the departure of principals Petra Conti and Eris Nezha (who are dancing this season at Boston Ballet) had left some casting headaches. Certainly Osipova's surprise return will see a lot of people happy, but as the performances are 'tutto esaurito' there are no tickets to be had. Day seats will be available (see La Scala site for instructions).
In November, the Russian phenomenon will be back in Milan to make her highly anticipated début in L'histoire de Manon. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,001 |

Anything else confuses the issue. Globalisation describes a world environment in which there is relatively free and frequent movement of goods, capital, people, information and ideas internationally.

Q: How to change button color depending on array element in ReactJS Say I have two arrays like this:
state = {
firstArr: ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'],
secondArr: ['one', 'three', 'four']
}
and I'm having a list of buttons like below:
{firstArray.map((item, index) => (
<label className="btn btn-secondary" key={index}>
<input type="checkbox" onChange={this.handleAddItem} value={item} /> {item}
</label>
))}
How do I apply a different background color only to the buttons listed in the second array?
A: You need to have a conditional class like this, based on whether the current item is part of secondArr or not.
{firstArray.map((item, index) => (
<label
className={`btn btn-secondary ${secondArr.includes(item) ? 'different-bg-class' : ''}`}
key={index}
>

1 October 2020: Bourbon Pecan Squares

Bourbon Pecan Squares
Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. While it's often depicted as an ending—as the quickening of summer fades and winter's long nap looms—for me, it feels more like a beginning, a time of hope and fresh starts. And this year, we need that sense of hope, of new beginnings more than ever before.
But aside from that, one of the things I love best about the season is that it's such a perfect time for cooking. The warmth of the kitchen not only becomes bearable, but welcome, and the raw materials we have to work with is at its most varied and best. Everything has fattened itself up for the dormant cold season ahead—and I don't mean just animals like us. Even the fruits and vegetables of fall have a density and richness that spring and summer produce often lacks.
This is also the time of year that I bake more. And though I have one of the most notoriously underdeveloped sweet tooths in America, come fall that baking gets richer and sweeter. Probably it's because so many favorites—apples, cranberries, pears, pecans, persimmons, sweet potatoes, and walnuts—are at their prime all at the same time.
Moreover, when those things are paired with such autumnal flavors as cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, bourbon, sherry, molasses, brown sugar, and caramel, it's nothing short of magic.
Of all those things, however, nothing speaks to me of the season quite as evocatively as pecans. Probably that's because, when I was growing up, every pastorium we called home had an enormous pecan tree shading one corner of the back yard. Unhappily, those trees are nothing more than a memory now, but as luck would have it, my lovely friend Edna Williamson and her family have a grove of pecans down in Jesup.
Among those trees are a few that produce a short, fat little pecan called Elliot that Edna always generously shares with me. No larger when shelled than one's thumbnail, the Elliot pecan's flavor is as big as it is small, and I confess a lot of them go straight from the shell to my mouth. But I do try to hold back some for roasting in butter and for adding to such heady fall treats as these rich, buttery bar cookies.
A cross between two Southern favorites—lemon squares and pecan tassies, these bars' mellow combination of bourbon, brown sugar, and pecans whispers of changing leaves, that golden light that bathes late autumn afternoons, crisp air, and the pungent aroma of the season's first fire.
Makes about 2 dozen
2 cups whole shelled pecan halves
10 ounces (about 2 cups) Southern soft wheat or all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons extra-fine white cornmeal
10 ounces (1¼ cups or 2½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (tightly packed) light brown sugar
2 tablespoons bourbon
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375° F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the center of the oven until they're beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Let them cool and roughly chop them. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° F.
2. Sift together 10 ounces of flour, the cornmeal, ½ cup sugar, and small pinch salt. Add 8 ounces (1 cup, or 2 sticks) of butter and work it into the flour until smooth. You may do the first part of this step in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Put in the flour, meal, sugar, and salt and pulse several times to sift. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Turn it out into a mixing bowl and finish blending by hand. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Press the dough into a 9-by-13-inch pan in a uniform layer over the bottom and about ½-inch up the sides. Lightly prick it with a fork and bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, or until it's beginning to color, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter, let it cool slightly, and beat it together with the eggs, remaining ¾ cup of sugar, the brown sugar, and a small pinch of salt. Stir in the bourbon and toasted pecans. Sift in the remaining tablespoon of flour and stir until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust, smoothing it with a spatula. Bake until golden and set, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack and cut into 24 squares.

Raw. That word can freak a lot of people out due to the overwhelmingly healthy energy around the movement. But theres one woman on a mission to change that perspective and show people that living a vibrant life doesn't need to be complicated, tasteless or expensive – meet Marijke.
Marijke is a raw food enthusiast who has lived the past 15 years of her life embracing the healing power of nature in its simplest form. But it hasn't been all roses and butterflies – after Marijke was involved in a car crash which left her immobilised during her recovery, she developed breast cancer as a result of the overwhelming stress of the accident.
Cancer is a shocking diagnosis, especially for someone who has embraced an organic, whole-foods approach to eating. When the very illness you have been aiming to prevent with your healthy choices comes knocking on your door, it's time to ask some hard questions about the relationship between illness and lifestyle. Marijke is a huge advocate that stress is the leading contributor to illness and that we should use an organic whole-foods approach to eating to support a balanced, stress free life. Eating organic does not make you super-human (but it does make you super-compassionate).
Eighteen months after her diagnosis, Marijke is living cancer free and embracing all that her illness has taught her. After a major surgery to remove the cancer, she credits her speedy recovery to her decision to reject the conventional medicine prescribed to her and focus on healing herself with whole foods and whole hearted intentions. And of course – eliminating stress from her life.
With such a colourful and complex path, she has chosen to pass on the wealth of health to those that want to open up to the exciting world of raw. She invites people into her humble workshop to learn to make simple, beautiful and delicious natural creations in their own homes and open up to the vitality present in whole foods.
With a rich past of studying Alternative Medicine and Naturopathy, Marijke draws wisdom from her books and from her close circle of friends in the health industry that have educated and inspired her all of her life. She encourages individuals to eat according to their Doshas – an Ayurvedic concept that outlines three energies that circulate the body. The proportions present in an individual is believed to determine temperament, dietary needs and physical activity. One can harness the balance of the three energies by eating in accordance to the balance of their Doshas.
Marijke aims to take the daunting element out of raw that so frequently prevents people from jumping in. When I asked her for one piece of advice for those wanting to embrace a healthier lifestyle, she suggested incorporating just one raw meal a day. The easiest way? A morning smoothie! Marijke encourages experimenting with quantities to find a winning combination that suits your tastebuds.
You'll find no fruit in her recipes and for good reason – there is so much acidic sugar already present in our foods that we certainly don't need to go adding it to delicious recipes that are beautiful and tasteful on their own. Once your tastebuds attune to the strong flavours present in fresh organic foods, you won't miss your sugary side kick at all!
Marijke's motto is "Don't be a social lepper! Go out, eat & enjoy life but get back on the bandwagon tomorrow" – life certainly is for living. Marijke encourages the 80/20 rule. Eat raw 80% of the time and don't beat yourself up about the 20%, the stress will do you more harm than the food. With a healthy mind you will have a healthy life and your choices will naturally reflect upon this.
All of her creations are INCREDIBLE (trust me, I can vouch for them) and you're unlikely to discover her unique flavour combinations anywhere else. With the rise of the raw dessert now a common finding at contemporary cafes, Marijke's unique ensembles are a fresh of breath air from common, dense raw food treats with flavours that seem to all blend into one.
Jump over and check out Honestly Raw on Facebook. You can call Marijke on 0413 726 000 to book in to a raw cooking class and have your culinary repertoire explode. Soon you'll be killing-it with kale chips and kombucha flying out of your kitchen. And you shall glow. Marijke also loves to do raw food catering for small events and weddings – so get in touch if you'd love to have the healthiest, most vibrant event in town!
At The Divine Company, we believe in the power of true beauty, connection, health & wellness. We believe that when you have these experiences you will have a life that you love. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,006 |
Owls often die after consuming rodents poisoned with rodenticide.
Animal Alliance of Canada is joining the call to ban rodenticide use in B.C. to protect wildlife, domestic animals, and the rodents that suffer terrible deaths from the poisons used to control them. After some recent local successes, we are now pushing for a B.C. wide ban on rodenticide.
Some of the organizations we are teaming up with are Defend Them All, Owl Watch B.C., Social Environment Alliance, and Friends of Kings Community Nature Space and more. Defend Them All has developed an excellent fact sheet on rodenticides you can view here.
Animals are generally excluded from our political discourse and suffer greatly for this absence of representation. Recently, however, the municipality of Saanich on Vancouver Island in B.C. voted to ban the use of rodenticide. Animal Alliance's Jordan Reichert addressed council and sent a letter in support of this ban. This follows from other B.C. municipalities doing the same in North Vancouver, and currently considering it Richmond.
This movement continues to spread as the municipality of North Vancouver just passed a ban and Victoria has brought a motion forward. Animal Alliance has made a submission in support of a ban.
Rats are highly intelligent sentient animals that form strong social bonds and express a diversity of emotions including happiness, depression, playfulness, curiosity, fear, and shyness. Mice are also very expressive, show empathy to other mice, and communicate through vocal and facial expressions.
Anti-coagulant rodenticide poisons not only kill their primary targets of rats and mice, but can also affect non-target species including owls, cats, humans, and other species.
However, it is important to remember that while the problem is most often framed as one of rodents and public health, the source of conflict with rodents in our communities is human behaviour. It is essential that we take responsibility as individuals and through government to educate the public on best practices and methods to mitigate conflict with urban and non-urban wildlife. As with most social problems, the use of violence or lethal measures rarely has a lasting positive affect on the issue at hand.
Some examples of key areas of community-led behaviour modification to discourage the presence of rodents are: ensuring proper waste management and practicing increased cleanliness in food-areas, sealing and closing of entrance points for rodents into houses and garages, use repellents, and discourage the keeping of backyard chickens or feeding of wildlife.
We strongly encourage municipalities to go beyond simple bans on rodenticide and ensure that funding for education and engagement exists in the area of wildlife co-habitation to create a more informed and compassionate understanding of our fellow animals who co-exist in our communities.
You can support our work on this issue by donating to help us pressure the government to take action for animals across the province.
You can sign the petition from Rodenticide Free B.C. here!
You can email your Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and tell them you support a ban on rodenticide poisions to protect animals in B.C. and you want them to as well. You can find your local MLA here.
If you live in a community where rodenticide has not been banned and would like, you can talk to your city councillors about the issue and ask them to support it. Need help? Contact us and we can do it together.
Thank you for your compassion and support of this important campaign to protect wildlife. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 2,007 |

It seems to us that there's more passion and disagreement over the subject of which barbecue joints reign supreme in the Carolinas than in any other barbecue-rich region of the country. Most everyone agrees on the identity of the major players in, say, Texas Hill Country and Memphis, but opinions range widely in the Tar Heel State. Which makes every media look at North Carolina Q more than a review of the usual suspects. Check out this story covering ten choice BBQ spots in North Carolina and see if you agree.
This is a solid list — incomplete, but solid. The comments that follow about Parker's in Wilson not being included are absolutely valid. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,011 |
Madhubani painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani (the literal meaning of which is forests of honey) and other areas of Mithila. The painting was traditionally done on freshly plastered mud wall of huts, but now it is also done on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas .
As Madhubani painting has remained confined to a region and the skills have been passed from mother to daughter on through centuries, the content and the style have largely remained the same. Many painters these days have developed their style and painting on different themes and are trying to contemporise this art.
Madhubani paintings also use two dimensional imagery, and the colors used are derived from plants. nowadays many painters use artificial colors like poster, acrylic and oil colors as their medium.
Madhubani paintings mostly depict nature and Hindu religious motifs, and the themes generally revolve around Hindu deities like Krishna, Ram, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, Vishnu and Saraswati. Natural objects like the sun, the moon, are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court and social events like weddings. Generally no space is left empty; the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and even geometric designs.
Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings so Ganesha is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies.He is the patron of arts and sciences, and the god of intellect and wisdom.
This painting is made on paper with acrylic paint. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,012 |

This is really just a "hm" post, combined with a request for information. One of the things that's never totally be clear to me is how the substantial number of Chicago neighborhoods with large amounts of vacant land—land that was at some point built up, but had its structures demolished and not replaced—got that way. It's a weird thing to be shrouded in mystery, since it's something that becomes a defining, and stigmatizing, visual feature of the neighborhood for both local residents and outsiders.
I also wonder because it's not completely obvious to me why some neighborhoods are riddled with empty lots while others are physically intact. For example, here's a section of Garfield Park near Kostner and Adams that's mostly intact:
And here's an area of North Lawndale near Central Park and 16th that's much more pockmarked with vacant lots:
Both of these are very high-poverty tracts—50 percent or higher—which is relevant because the usual explanation of this issue is a sort of generic "decline" and abandonment story. They've also both in community areas that have experienced extreme population loss: 72 percent in the case of North Lawndale, and 62 percent in Garfield Park.
Another common explanation is that "they never recovered from the riots," but I am broadly skeptical of riot-based explanations for things. In general, they seem to be a questionable and exculpatory-to-white-people explanatory tool, and usually more of an effect than a cause in the real world. (For example: While many stories of Detroit's white flight begin with the 1967 riots, in fact the city had already lost 25 percent of its white population between 1950 and 1960.)
Anyway, the other night I went on Historic Aerials to see if I could see anything about the timeline of abandonment. Forgive the watermarks, but here are two high-vacancy areas—the first in Englewood, along 63rd just west of the Dan Ryan—the dates are highlighted on the left side of each image.
And here's a patch of North Lawndale.
As you can see, the vast majority of empty land in both cases appears between 1972 and 1988, with relatively few additions since then. That suggests to me that there's something going on here beyond a generic sort of "decline," either demographic or economic. Otherwise, we'd expect that vacant land would continue to increase substantially in the 90s and 2000s, as both of these areas continued to lose population and income.
So what was it? On Twitter there were a few suggestions, but maybe the most interesting was arson (the urban renewal explanation certainly holds for some places where large blocks were cleared, but generally can't explain the sort of pockmarking I'm talking about here):
Also, idk if this happened in Chicago, but in NYC there were these FHA arson scams
— Market Urbanism (@MarketUrbanism) January 10, 2017
Yup. Urban Renewal. And opportunistic arson.
— Pete Saunders (@petesaunders3) January 10, 2017
The New York situation is written up here, via Stephen Smith. Googling around also reveals this Congressional report from 1979, whose introduction says:
A later section says:
And more on the financial motivations for committing arson:
The reasons here that involve subsequent reinvestment—modernization, gentrification—don't seem plausible, given the trajectory of these neighborhoods at the time. But many of the others do. Blockbusting and stop loss seem particularly relevant given the rapid racial and economic transitions happening in the 1970s.
Not only is there a national report, it turns out that Illinois commissioned a report just a few years before the Congressional one came out. Here are numbers from Chicago:
Notably, those totals at the top are probably understating things, as later the report includes "suspicious" and other fires:
And here is a map, though it includes many neighborhoods—Chatham, South Shore—that don't have an especially bad vacant land problem:

The EU "would be willing to renegotiate" a Brexit deal, says Tory leadership hopeful Jeremy Hunt, adding "they want to solve the problem".The EU has previously said the withdrawal agreement reached with the UK cannot be reopened. Unlike the race frontrunner, Boris Johnson, Mr Hunt did not commit to leaving the EU on 31 October. Meanwhile, fellow leadership contender Rory Stewart insisted "there is no new negotiation with Europe". He said the EU had made it clear they would not revisit the withdrawal agreement. Instead he proposed setting up a citizens' jury to break the Brexit impasse.
Explaining his plan, he said a group of people representing the country's demographics would be given three weeks to make recommendations which Parliament would then be able to approve or reject.Dominic Raab - also running to replace Theresa May and become the next prime minister - said the Conservative Party "will be toast unless we are out by October".The six remaining candidates, apart from Boris Johnson, will appear in a TV debate on Channel 4 later.

Mr Hunt told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show the EU were open to solutions surrounding the Northern Ireland backstop."They say if they were approached by a British prime minister who had ideas on how to solve the Northern Ireland backstop, they would be willing to renegotiate the package." He also said it would be wrong to commit to leaving the EU by 31 October, but added "if there was no prospect of a deal," he would be prepared to leave the EU without a deal. The foreign secretary said he had "profound issues" with Theresa May's approach to getting a deal through Parliament."I did not think we should be trying to persuade Parliament to accept the backstop," he said. By saying he would leave the EU on 31 October, Mr Hunt said Boris Johnson was "effectively committing the country to no-deal or an election".

TAMIU One of Six U.S. Minority-Serving Institutions Selected for BranchED's National Teacher Preparation Transformation Center
Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) is one of six educator preparation programs at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) across the U.S. selected to participate in the Branch Alliance for Educator Diversity's (BranchED) National Teacher Preparation Transformation Center, providing an immersion process aimed at producing highly effective and diverse teachers.
BranchED's president and CEO Dr. Cassandra Herring, said TAMIU's selection enables its participation in the Transformation Center, a three-year innovative experience and program.
"Through participation in the Transformation Center these colleges and universities join a unique community of practice where each institution's faculty and their respective school district partners can access enhanced resources and professional development, network with others, share data and learn from each other to move forward with sustainability and innovation. The larger goals of BranchED's Transformation Center include both diversifying the teaching profession and intentionally addressing critical issues of educational equity for all students," Dr. Herring explained.
"No other entity in the country takes the approach to diversifying the nation's educator workforce the way BranchED does. Our approach is 'grassroots' in that we work directly with the MSI educator preparation providers to draft and implement an individualized plan for systemic and sustainable improvement with the goal of ensuring program graduates are competent and confident in their ability to teach all students – particularly students of color and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds," Herring added.
TAMIU president Dr. Pablo Arenaz said the University's national selection underscores the quality of its educator preparation program and its dedication to continued excellence and transformation.
"Our teaching, research and service as a Hispanic Serving Institution has a robust 50+ plus year legacy. Our College of Education prepares the majority of educators within a 150-mile radius of Laredo. We're very proud of our students, our graduates and our programs and the measurable contributions they make in classrooms everywhere. Our selection as a BranchED National Teacher Preparation Transformation Center member provides a dynamic opportunity to grow our teaching mission and our passion, and we are eager to do so," said Dr. Arenaz.
TAMIU College of Education dean Dr. James O'Meara said the University has already established measures for the success of its transformation.
"We will measure the success of our transformation against the following four outcomes: the quality of integrated student support provided to our candidates; the volume of expanded and enriched learning time beyond the traditional curriculum; the frequency of family and community engagement, and the impact of collaborative leadership and practices," Dr. O'Meara said.
Joining TAMIU in BranchED's Cohort 2 are Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, AL, Mount St. Mary's University in Los Angeles, CA, University of La Verne in La Verne, CA., Virginia State University in Petersburg, VA, and West Texas A&M University in Canyon. The pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade school district partners for these respective institutions also participate in the Transformation Center.
BranchED's Transformation Center is rooted in the organization's work to redefine what constitutes quality educator preparation through commitment to a collective vision that combines "quality" and "diversity" in reflection of the changing demographics in the U.S. The organization launched its first cohort for its National Teacher Preparation Transformation Center in 2018.
Major support for this cohort in BranchED's Transformation Center comes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation at the recommendation of Alice L. Walton. Program support also comes from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, the Bezalel Fund, a donor-advised fund established by Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, and others.
Based in Austin, Branch Alliance for Educator Diversity is the first and only non-profit organization in the nation dedicated to strengthening and growing educator preparation at MSIs, with broader goals of both diversifying the teaching profession and intentionally addressing critical issues of educational equity for all students. BranchED is expanding its reach into K-12 by supporting principal coaching and development. For more information, visit www.educatordiversity.org.

Earlier this month, Tara Mac Lean Sweeney, a prominent Alaskan leader and acclaimed businesswoman with the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, was sworn in as the Department's Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. Sweeney was nominated by President Donald J. Trump in October 2017.
Sweeney, a member of the Native Village of Barrow and the Iñupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, is the first Alaska Native and only the second woman in history to hold the position.
Sweeney's position will oversee the Department of the Interior's "responsibilities to enhance the quality of life, promote economic opportunity, and provide quality educational opportunities for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives, while protecting and improving their trust assets."
"Tara is a results-driven team leader and coalition builder who has an impressive combination of business acumen and service to her community," Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke said in a release. "Her lifelong active engagement in Native American policy development and her outreach, advocacy, and organization skills are the combination we need to carry out the President's reform initiative for Indian Country. She will be a great asset to the Department."
Sweeney grew up in rural Alaska and has spent a lifetime actively engaged in state and national policy arenas focused on advocating for responsible Indian energy policy, rural broadband connectivity, Arctic growth and Native American self-determination. She has served her Arctic Slope Regional Corporation and its subsidiaries in a variety of capacities for nearly two decades. The $2.6 billion corporation is the largest locally-owned and operated business in Alaska, with about 13,000 Iñupiat Eskimo members and 12,000 employees worldwide. In her role as the Executive Vice President of External Affairs, she was responsible for all facets of government affairs and corporate communications. Her primary responsibilities include strategic policy and position development, implementation and execution; engagement with federal and state executive and legislative branches on improving policies affecting Indian energy, taxation, resource development, government contracting, broadband development and access to capital; as well as all facets of corporate communication as official company spokesperson, including stakeholder engagement and coalition building.
Sweeney also has served in leadership positions on numerous business and nonprofit boards at both the state and national level, including chair of the Arctic Economic Council from 2015 to 2017; co-chair of the Alaska Federation of Natives (2013); Coast Guard Foundation Board of Trustees; the University of Alaska Foundation Board of Trustees; FCC Advisory Committee on Diversity for Communications in a Digital Age; Analytical Services, Inc.; Kohanic Broadcast Corporation (parent to the first Native American-owned, publicly supported FM radio station); Cherokee Nation New Market Tax Credit Advisory Board (CNB Economic Development Company, LLC, beneficiary); Breast Cancer Focus, Inc.; and Arctic Power.
Among her honors, Sweeney -- a lifetime member of the National Congress of American Indians -- was crowned Miss NCAI in 1993 and traveled the country as an ambassador for the organization. In 2003, Governor Frank Murkowski recognized Sweeney's passion for rural Alaska, appointing her to his cabinet as Special Assistant for Rural Affairs and Education. In 2008 she was honored as a "Top Forty Under 40″ business leader by the Alaska Journal of Commerce. In 2014 & 2017 her team won two Emmy® Awards from the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, for its IAM IÑUPIAQ commercial campaign 2014 and its 2017 long-format documentary titled, "True North, the Story of ASRC". She also served as co-chair for Senator Dan Sullivan's (R-AK) successful Senate campaign. In 2017 she was inducted into the Anchorage ATHENA Society, a program of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce that encourages the potential of women as valued members and leaders of the business community.
Born to Dr. Bryan Mac Lean and the Late Representative Eileen Panigeo Mac Lean, Sweeney is the granddaughter of the Late May Ahmaogak Panigeo and the Late Henry Panigeo of Barrow. She is the great granddaughter of the Late Bert and Nellie Panigeo and Isabel and Dr. Roy Ahmaogak. She was raised, attended schools and lived most of her life in rural Alaska in villages from Noorvik to Wainwright, Barrow, Bethel, and Unalakleet. She graduated from Barrow High School in 1991. A 1998 graduate of Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations with a Bachelor of Science Degree, Sweeney is married to Kevin, and together they have two children, Caitlin and Ahmaogak.
Through its Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Interior provides services (directly or through contracts, grants or compacts) to 1.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. There are 573 federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Native corporations in the United States. The BIE provides education services to about 42,000 Indian students. The Indian trust, co-managed by BIA and the Office of the Special Trustee, consists of 55 million surface acres and 57 million acres of subsurface mineral estate. More than 11 million acres belong to individual Indians and nearly 44 million acres are held in trust for Indian tribes. On these lands, the Department manages more than 122,817 revenue-producing leases. In conjunction with the Department of the Treasury, Interior also manages about $4.9 billion in Indian trust funds. In Fiscal Year 2016, $1.2 billion was received into and disbursed from tribal and individual Indian beneficiaries' accounts. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 2,017 |
¡Bye bye, Hong Kong! es una historieta publicada en 1997 del dibujante de cómics español Francisco Ibáñez perteneciente a la serie Mortadelo y Filemón.
Trayectoria editorial
Firmada en 1996 y publicada en 1997 en el n.º 70 de Magos del Humor y más tarde en el n.º 140 de la Colección Olé.
Sinopsis
Hong Kong ha sido colonia Británica desde 1898 ya que fue cedida por China durante 99 años, por lo que ahora, en 1997, los británicos tienen que devolverla. La T.I.A. descubre que un agente de una potencia extranjera planea sabotear las negociaciones, provocando un conflicto entre el Reino Unido y China que significaría la Tercera Guerra Mundial. La CIA, Scotland Yard, la Guardia Civil y demás organizaciones lo buscan, y la T.I.A. también enviará a dos agentes para intentar capturar al agente enemigo: Mortadelo y Filemón.
Comentarios
Tras el éxito del anterior cameo en El pinchazo telefónico, Francisco Ibáñez vuelve a cruzar a Príncipe Carlos de Inglaterra con Mortadelo. También los otros jefes de las grandes potencias salen en ¡Bye bye, Hong Kong! y también se las tienen con Mortadelo y Filemón: la reina de Inglaterra, Kohl, Clinton... y Aznar.
Hay además una parodia de uno de los chinos más famosos de la cultura popular: Fu Manchú. Mortadelo y Filemón se enfrentan con el personaje de Sax Rohmer, que aquí está acompañado por su sobrino Fu Lano.
