Adani's proposed plan to conserve the endangered black-throated finch has been rejected by the Queensland government, Australia.
Adani's plan to manage an endangered finch was rejected last week by the Queensland government, Australia, stalling progress on the Carmichael mine. The mine would cover much of the best remaining habitat for the endangered black-throated finch.
The Queensland government required Adani to commit to gathering more accurate finch population data, limit the cattle grazing in the finch conservation area and determine food availability throughout the year, before they could approve the plan.
The federal government has been reported as "already approving" the finch plan. But legally, the Queensland government must determine whether the plan complies with the conditions of the environmental authority and under the bilateral framework, the federal government must give due regard to this assessment.
What's wrong with Adani's plan?
Last Friday Queensland's Department of Environment and Science decided not to approve Adani's black-throated finch management plan because it does not fulfil certain basic requirements. The decision is based on a detailed report from an independent expert panel. The black-throated finch is on the verge of extinction, one of 238 threatened Australian birds.
The rejection is one of two outstanding environmental approvals required before Adani can commence work on the mine. The second is the plan to manage groundwater-dependent ecosystems, which the Queensland government has yet to come to a decision on.
The greatest threat to the black-throated finch is habitat loss, it has disappeared from over 80 per cent of its original range. Strong protection and careful management, of its remaining habitat is crucial.
The finch, once found across north-eastern Australia, is now largely found on Moray Downs and surrounding properties, north-west of Clermont in central Queensland. A core part of the habitat is within the 28,000 hectare footprint of the Carmichael mine, where there are far more black finches than elsewhere due to the intact woodlands and a history of minimal livestock grazing.
It is expected the mines will disturb 50,977 hectare of black-throated finch habitat and that 34,156 hectare will be completely cleared. A total of 87 square kilometres of habitat will be destroyed through the creation of open pits and a further 61 square kilometres may be degraded beyond repair due to the influence of underground mining on groundwater.
After habitat loss, the second greatest threat to the finch is cattle grazing, which destroys the grass seeds they need to survive. Yet Adani's management plan for the black-throated finch involved grazing cattle on areas that are supposed to be devoted to conservation of the finch. Providing a species management plan that effectively conserves finch habitat is a core condition of Adani's mining licence.
State vs federal priorities
The Queensland government's rejection of the plan brings into stark focus some of the problems with the existing environmental assessment framework in Australia. The environmental authority for the mining licence was approved by the Federal government. The environmental management plan for the finch did not, however, address core impact concerns.
And yet this is the very reason that the plan was required from the outset. The inadequacies of the plan only became apparent because of the oversight of the Queensland government. The federal government has not been proactive despite's its mandate under our National environment act – the Environmental Protection Biodiversity Conservation act. In fact, a recent analysis found the federal government has approved hundreds of projects to clear black-throated finch habitat over the last 18 years.
There are clearly differences in priorities regarding the environment between a federal Liberal and a state Labour government. However, environmental assessment can only be effective if is not undermined by political agendas and is grounded in scientific rigour and scrutiny.
A one-stop shop
At the federal level, any project likely to have a "significant impact" on a matter protected by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act must be referred to the federal environment minister.
If the minister decides the project impacts a matter of national environmental significance, he or she will then determine how to assess that project at the national level. Legislated options include: an environmental impact statement, a public environment report and public inquiry.
The federal government has entered into bilateral agreements with all state and territory governments. As a result, rather than the state and federal governments conducting separate assessment, the aim is to promote a single, focused environmental evaluation.
The Queensland government has entered into a bilateral assessment agreement with the Commonwealth government for Adani's coal project, which effectively allows it to make an environmental assessment that the Commonwealth Minister will then take account of when deciding whether to grant approval.
This means that both the Queensland and the federal government are involved in the approval and assessment process environmental authorities and conditions, one of those being the management plan for the black-throated finch. In order to optimise outcomes they need to work together collaboratively.
What next?
The rejection means that Adani will now need to submit a new or revised plan that addresses the Queensland government's concerns. In particular, Adani will need to limit cattle grazing in the conservation area and gather more information regarding the availability of seed throughout the year.
This may take time but is critical, because in its current form, the plan does not meet the legal requirements for the Environmental Authority, which means that it cannot be approved at the state level.
Without state approval the Adani coal mine cannot proceed. The Queensland government has rigorously assessed Adani's management plan by commissioning a report by an independent expert panel and then acting on the advice of this report.
This robust approach is crucial to the whole framework of environmental assessment. Genuine commitment to protecting endangered species and managing vital groundwater resources is vital if we want to reverse Australia's dire trajectory of environmental decline.

text: Competition in China's fast-growing online insurance industry is intensifying, as Tencent recently secured a new license to sell insurance products on its popular messaging apps WeChat and QQ. The China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) said Wednesday it granted an operating license to Wemin Insurance Agency, a new insurer in which Tencent owns a 57.8% controlling stake. Other shareholders of Weimin include Taiwan-based Fubon Property & Casualty Insurance and a Chinese private equity fund. According to Caixin, technology companies are flocking to the internet insurance industry in China in recent years. They are riding on a fintech wave, as well as the country's opening of its financial services sector once dominated by state companies. The hype remains unabated, as shown by the massive oversubscription in the initial public offering of ZhongAn Online Property & Casualty Insurance, China's first online-only insurer, in Hong Kong two weeks ago. In China, about 65% of new insurance policies were sold through the internet last year.

Bless the hearts of children and parents everywhere.
We had back-to-school night on Monday. Or in our case, first time IN the school night. Or in Bryan's case, nerd out remembering where all of his classes used to be and what is "new" since he's been gone.
I'm still shocked that when the teacher introduced herself to Maximus, he looked her in the eyes and told her his name. In the sweetest, kind of quiet, and definitely shaky voice. If I hadn't been holding the heaviest 3-year-old, I would have melted into a puddle. It was the sweetest thing and helped reassure me that he's going to be fine.
And I suppose I'll be fine, too. Other than the random panic about how he's going to figure out lunch or remembering how shy I was, I'm doing ok with it. He has a lot of friends going to his school and a few in his classroom, so he's not alone.
Plus, HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO HIS TEACHER. Without any prompting from us. That was one of those proud parent moments that I won't forget. That's also why I let my kids answer questions for themselves when adults ask questions. It teaches them good life skills!
We spent about 20 minutes talking about tomorrow. All the super cool stuff that he's going to do, who's taking him where, and how it's ok that he's not great at math…yet. Yup, that happened. "But mommy, I'm not great at math. Is math when you, like, add numbers together? Like 10 plus 10?" So Bryan asks him what the answer is and he laughs while he tells us it's 20. Ok. So maybe you're kind of ok at math? He did ask me once if I could just stay for his first day. I told him I already had my first day of Kindergarten so I couldn't. And the teacher will spend tomorrow telling him all the things they'll do every day. (He's only there with 1/3 of his class tomorrow and everyone on Friday.)
He picked out his first day clothes…typical Leger boy apparel…and will be sporting a new highlighter yellow dry-fit shirt and black mesh shorts. I don't blame his comfort level goals. Luckily he still favors jeans over any other sport pant so I'll keep holding on to hope of a nicer dress code this fall. 😉
I know Maximus is going to love school. He's always enjoyed preschool and cares so much about details and why things work. It's going to be an exciting year for him!
Bless all the teachers, but especially those who help care for our littlest learners as they adjust to new environments and routines.

By Erin Roach
BALTIMORE (BP) — Southern Baptists are advancing, not retreating, as they rally to give more through the Cooperative Program to fuel the Great Commission task, Executive Committee President Frank Page told messengers to the SBC annual meeting in Baltimore June 10.
"We thank God that two years ago the Cooperative Program stopped its declination at 5.41 percent and last year rose for the first time in two decades to 5.50 percent," Page said.
The Cooperative Program is Southern Baptists' way of combining resources to finance ministry worldwide.
"I like to say to pastors young and old, 'If you know a better way, let me know. I'll support it. I'll drop the Cooperative Program if you can show me something else that long-term is effective and engages every church concurrently and consistently in an Acts 1:8 strategy. Show it to me, and I'll support it. I'll drop Cooperative Program,'" Page said. "But I haven't found it yet."
Page showed a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of a vulture stalking a Sudanese girl as she struggled to find sustenance at an aid station in 1994. When critics asked the photographer if he helped save the girl, he disclosed that he did not. Page said the photo has gripped him since he first saw it.
"Friends, I say to you today that I don't really think we've done much better for that little girl. Have we done any better with our world? Have we helped the girl spiritually? Have we helped countless millions to die without hearing the Good News of our Lord Jesus?" Page asked.
Southern Baptists must reach the girl and those like her who are perishing without Christ, he said. The church has received a calling from Jesus in the Great Commission, and believers share the love of Jesus that is demonstrated as a powerful force throughout Scripture.
Page commended state convention partners that have joined national entities in streamlining their operations to devote more resources to reaching the nations for Christ. Ten years ago, state convention employees numbered 1,750. Now the figure is 1,350, he said.
"But you see, regardless of what happens at the national level or even the state level, what really matters is whether or not local churches understand what the Cooperative Program is and reengage in those ministries," Page said.
A diverse group of pastors appeared in a video called "Count Me In," expressing their support for the Cooperative Program as a key component in the missions task.
"We have a God who can make all this happen," Page said. "… I say this to you because I ask you to join me in begging God like never before. Would you join me and pray for God to 'show up' like never before? I'm asking that across this convention we join in prayer like we've never prayed before."
Cooperative Program in action
Earlier in the day, in the first part of the Executive Committee's report to messengers, Page welcomed to the stage Brian and Hannah Crane, who this year planted Progression Church on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The Cranes were influenced heavily by the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at LSU, which is supported by the Cooperative Program.
"It was through the BCM that I taught my first Bible study, that I preached my first sermon, that I led my first ministry event and the first time I ever led any ministry team," Brian Crane said. "… The BCM taught me one thing, and they taught it well: They taught me how to make disciples."
Because of Southern Baptist collegiate ministry, Crane said he recognizes that Jesus did not call him to be a passive participant in the church but to be a missionary.
"Through the BCM I learned how to effectively share the Gospel with lost people and see them put their faith in Christ," Crane said, adding that as a church planter, he daily uses the skills he learned through the BCM.
"Your giving through the Cooperative Program has fueled my call to ministry," Crane said.
Jacob Watts, an LSU student and member of Progression Church, joined the Cranes on stage to testify that because of Southern Baptists' giving through the Cooperative Program, as a sophomore in college he helped start a church.
"Southern Baptist family, your investment is changing the lives of thousands upon thousands of college students every day just like me," Watts said.
As another example of the Cooperative Program in action, Page introduced Terry and Vicki Lassiter, International Mission Board affinity group leaders based in Peru, to tell about God's ongoing and special work in the Americas.
The Lassiters thanked Southern Baptists for their gifts, which have made a "tremendous impact" on their entire lives.
The cooperative giving of Southern Baptists contributed to the training of the youth pastors that led them to follow Christ and pursue vocational ministry, the couple reported. It also instilled in them a deep love for the Bible through state Bible drills, summer associational camps, Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors. The couple also shared how they attended Baptist universities and a Southern Baptist seminary that trained them for service on the mission field.
Because of Southern Baptists' giving through the Cooperative Program, the Lassiters had transportation such as dugout canoes and prop planes to travel to unreached and unengaged people groups in remote jungles. Thirty-seven people groups in the Americas have learned of Jesus as a result of Cooperative Program giving, they said.
Page also recognized Matt Rogers, pastor of The Church at Cherrydale in Greenville, S.C., who through the Cooperative Program has been involved in church planting and church revitalization.
"Church planting and church revitalization, particularly in the Southeast, was not on my radar when my wife and I moved to Southeastern Seminary in 2005," Rogers said.
But he was discipled, prepared and encouraged to plant a church, and in the summer of 2009, with a team of seven people, he set out to plant a church in South Carolina, "where the church was increasingly losing ground in seemingly fertile soil."
"The lackluster religious climate of the Southeast needed the energy that comes from new churches and revitalized existing churches that can multiply disciples and leaders and plant new churches," Rogers said.
Increasingly Rogers felt a responsibility to "reboot the church planting conversation where for too long, fear and skepticism and mutual distrust had caused those who should partner together to grow further apart."
Recently the young church Rogers led, meeting in an elementary school, merged with an existing congregation to form a new church, "to forge a new paradigm for Kingdom partnership that would eclipse generations of church divisions and splits."
The two churches voted to become The Church at Cherrydale. "We hope that this rewrites the scorecard in the Southeast to show that churches can work together," Rogers said.
"We have seen the lost saved, the weak in the faith matured and a disciple-making culture come alive. And you have played a significant role in that journey. Your giving through the Cooperative Program has been a primary conduit of God's grace for us."

Take the Routine Out of the Fitness Routine
Of all the challenges that fitness club owners have, the one that is often the most troublesome is the steady exodus of gym members over time. While January's membership stats may look pretty darn impressive, by July the membership list has often dwindled down to a pitifully small number.
When gym goers decide to drop their memberships, they may give reasons such as:
- I can no longer afford the fee.
- I just don't have time to get to the gym anymore.
- I just don't feel like I'm getting good results.
All of those things may, indeed, be reasons people leave your gym. However, the hard truth is that often the real reason people leave a fitness center is something much worse ... boredom.
The Business of Blah
Think about your average new gym member. He or she comes regularly, perhaps even several times a week. At first, the newbie tries out a number of machines and tries to figure out the equipment. He or she may experiment with coming at different times, taking a few classes, and maybe even having a session or two with a personal trainer.
However, if you observe your new members over time, you will see that they fall into a routine. They end up working out on the same machines, taking the same classes over and over, and usually just ignoring the personal trainer option after a while.
In other words, they get stuck in a rut, which leads to ... boredom.
Sadly, the same malaise may be affecting your trainers, your support staff, and even you as the fitness center owner. What can you do to shake things up and get everyone back on track and motivated to move?
Here are some suggestions to jumpstart everyone's enthusiasm and help retain your members:
1) Energize your trainers.
ClubIndustry.com's "Increase Your Health Club's Revenue by Energizing Your Personal Trainers" observes: "Trainers know about body mechanics, fitness and how to improve human physical performance, but most of them do not know how to run a business and sell."
That means that it is your responsibility to show your trainers how to market their services to your gym members more effectively. Some possible ways to accomplish this include goal-setting with each trainer about sales objectives and how to meet them, and setting up a friendly competition among trainers for the most sales monthly or quarterly.
2) Offer a variety of classes.
The article "10 Gym Advertising Promotions to Sell More Gym Memberships" offers this advice:
"Offering a variety of classes is the easiest way how to improve your gym business. Giving clients more options, you'll increase the chances that your members will stay engaged and continue to pay your monthly membership fees. Increasing gym revenue is about getting the most gym members possible. If you aren't offering a class for every type of client, you're losing business."
Be creative in your choice of class offerings. By looking at the demographics of your members, you can figure out which classes will have most appeal. Do you have a large number of seniors on your roll? Try offering water aerobics, senior Zumba, and yoga. Are there many young mothers among your members? Offering Mommy and Me classes might be a big draw.
3) Consider mini-trainer sessions.
Arranging small group fitness training so that each personal trainer can interact with more members personally serves several purposes. First, it gets members involved in something a bit different from their normal routine. Second, it helps personal trainers interact with a wider variety of members, giving the trainers more opportunities to set up one-on-one training sessions. Third, it increases camaraderie among gym members, which is a sure way to promote increased member retention over the long run.
4) Provide equipment that prompts engagement.
Use the growing trend of fitness wearables and mobile apps to keep your members engaged both inside and outside the gym. For instance, AccuroFit's club solutions include a mobile app which integrates seamlessly with the AccuroFit equipment in your gym. What could be better for member retention than having an app that reminds your members of your gym right on their smartphones all the time? The AccuroFit mobile app keeps members engaged and enthusiastic about your gym, and gives the boot to boredom.
The Bottom Line
Your greatest enemy as a fitness club owner is boredom. Keep your trainers engaged and enthused by regular goal-setting and progress checks. Keep your members engaged and enthused by offering a variety of exciting classes and mini-trainer sessions. Keep everyone excited by choosing the right equipment and offering the AccuroFit mobile app.
Are you ready to take the routine out of the fitness routines you offer? Request a demo of the AccuroFit system and rev up your retention strategies today!

[Book] A City Is Not a Computer
A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences
by Shannon Mattern
Princeton University Press
August 2021, 200 pages
- Excerpt (published in Fast Company, 10 August 2021)
- Book review (Adam Rogers, Wired Magazine, 10 August 2021)
- Recent articles by the author in Places Journal
Computational models of urbanism—smart cities that use data-driven planning and algorithmic administration—promise to deliver new urban efficiencies and conveniences. Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. A City Is Not a Computer reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models.
Shannon Mattern begins by examining the ethical and ontological implications of urban technologies and computational models, discussing how they shape and in many cases profoundly limit our engagement with cities. She looks at the methods and underlying assumptions of data-driven urbanism, and demonstrates how the "city-as-computer" metaphor, which undergirds much of today's urban policy and design, reduces place-based knowledge to information processing. Mattern then imagines how we might sustain institutions and infrastructures that constitute more diverse, open, inclusive urban forms. She shows how the public library functions as a steward of urban intelligence, and describes the scales of upkeep needed to sustain a city's many moving parts, from spinning hard drives to bridge repairs.
Incorporating insights from urban studies, data science, and media and information studies, A City Is Not a Computer offers a visionary new approach to urban planning and design.
Shannon Mattern is professor of anthropology at the New School for Social Research. Her books include Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media and The New Downtown Library: Designing with Communities. She lives in New York City.

Cycling in the Canary Islands
International cycle races have encouraged many people to take up cycling for recreation and exercise, but the wet and cold weather of the UK and much of Northern Europe mean that outdoor cycling is a soggy experience. However, professional cyclists have been training in the Canary Islands for many years, because the roads are safe and also offer challenges for those wanting the experience of steep climbs and wind resistance on coastal roads.
The other advantage for cyclists coming to the Canary Islands is that they are a short flying distance from most of Europe, and offer mild temperatures and hardly any rain for most of the year. The roads of the Canary Islands are often used by cycling professionals, as well as tourists, who want to escape from the tourist centres to discover what these islands can offer. Professional cyclists are likely to bring their own bikes on cycling training holidays, but what about tourists who want to cycle on holiday?
Organised cycling holidays are available with English speaking guides, quality bikes, planned cycle holiday routes and arrival to departure service with accommodation, or rent your bike locally and follow the suggested cycle trips.

"It promises many great things": Our original review of Pearl Jam's legendary debut Ten
Seattle icons Pearl Jam released their debut album on August 27, 1991. Here's what Kerrang! thought of Ten at the time…
30 years since his tragic passing, we remember the life and legacy of Mother Love Bone frontman Andrew Wood
It's early spring 1990, and Seattle's Paramount Theater is packed-to-the-rafters, a fact that would have put a huge smile on the face of the man whose name is on the marquee outside. But that man – L'Andrew The Love Child, AKA Andrew Wood – is dead. This is his memorial, and the nascent rock scene percolating in America's Pacific Northwest will never be the same again.
"The funeral was very surreal," remembered Wood's best friend and flatmate Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, years later to the makers of Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story. "I was happy for him, because it was packed, and they were showing films of him performing. He was a fuckin' rock star the day he was born – it didn't matter if he'd never sold a single record. He was the only rock star I ever met."
Wood was born in 1966, the youngest of a troubled family whose internal ructions he tried to soothe from childhood, with his larger-than-life personality and love for entertaining. As a kid, Wood was equally besotted with Elton John and KISS; later, he'd later adopt an onstage persona that was all glittery top-hats, whiteface make-up and silk and satin costumes. He was 14 when he formed his first band, Malfunkshun, with older brother Kevin – the pair stayed home Easter Sunday 1980 when the rest of their family decamped to his grandmother's, and by the time their folks had returned, they'd cooked up their first demo-tape.
READ THIS: 11 songs bands have written about other artists
By the mid-'80s, Malfunkshun were fusing punk and metal with precocious suavity, unafraid to drop ludicrous guitar solos among the punk riffage. Wood, meanwhile, gave all his wild frontman ambitions flight, equal parts Marc Bolan, Freddie Mercury, Prince and Gene Simmons. He renamed himself L'Andrew The Love Child, inspired by an episode of the original '60s Star Trek TV series; brother Kevin would become Kevin Stein, while drummer Regan Hagar became Thundarr.
Malfunkshun soon found themselves a part of the vibrant local music scene operating within Seattle's network of underground clubs, the group's progress momentarily scuppered when Wood's burgeoning smack habit sent him to rehab in 1985 (he confessed in therapy that his second girlfriend had introduced him to "STDs and shooting drugs"). Upon his return, Malfunkshun appeared on Deep Six, a compilation album that also featured friends like Soundgarden, Melvins and Green River. But Wood's larger-than-life stage presence set Malfunkshun apart from their contemporaries; he craved playing stadiums, quipping that he'd "even support Warrant" to make that dream come true, and performed as if the shabby back-rooms that were Malfunkshun's stomping grounds were, in fact, Madison Square Garden. "I saw them in Olympia, and I fell asleep in my chair," Nirvana frontman and notorious narcoleptic Kurt Cobain remembered. "Andrew sang to me all night, and danced around me, and made fun of me. I felt like a heel when I woke up."

However, Deep Six would prove Malfunkshun's sole release in the band's lifetime; the group quietly imploded as Wood's attentions turned to his new group, Mother Love Bone. Formed in 1987, in the wake of Green River's split – future Mudhoney singer Mark Arm had begun to find his band-mates' ambitiousness "laughable" – Mother Love Bone paired Wood with guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament. Their "Love Rock" perhaps owed more to glam-rock and Guns N'Roses than the sludgy local grunge scene, but it was the perfect vehicle for Wood's voluminous starpower, and in 1989 their Shine EP became the very first major-label release by a 'grunge' act.
Shine won favourable reviews in the press, especially for its closing track, an epic, piano-driven piece Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns that wore Wood's love for Elton John on its sleeve, but took the rock ballad paradigm to dark, transcendent places – a portrait of a relationship ruined by drugs that found its own beauty in the broken pieces. Inspired by the EP's success, Mother Love Bone cut their debut album, Apple, and Wood returned to rehab, in anticipation of its success. But, having gotten clean and losing his resistance to the drug, he fell off the wagon one night and mistakenly overdosed on heroin days before the album was due for release, falling into a deep coma from which he'd never recover.
READ THIS: Why Temple Of The Dog's only album matters more now than ever before
The tragedy shattered Seattle's music scene, which came together to mourn its lost star, later inspiring filmmaker Cameron Crowe's Seattle-set movie Singles. Heartbroken, Cornell went on to pen a couple of Soundgarden's finest songs – Mind Riot and Outshined – in Wood's honour, while a couple of further Wood-influenced songs, Say Hello 2 Heaven and Reach Down, kickstarted his Temple Of The Dog side-project, which united Gossard and Ament with guitarist Mike McCready and singer Eddie Vedder. That quartet, of course, went on to form Pearl Jam, who made their debut at Seattle's Off-Ramp Café almost six months to the day after Wood's death.
Pearl Jam went on to enjoy success beyond even Andrew Wood's wildest dreams, and later worked Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns into their setlist. After performing the song at Madison Square Garden in 2003, frontman Eddie Vedder looked out across the grandiose venue and said, "I think Jeff and Stone will back me up on this – Andy would have loved it here."
Seattle icons Pearl Jam released their debut album on August 27, 1991. Here's what Kerrang! thought of Ten at the time…
From Pixies and Jane's Addiction to Entombed and Slayer, we rank the greatest rock and metal albums released in 1990
Featuring Melvins, Love Battery, Mother Love, Skin Yard, The U-Men, Seaweed, Truly and more – these are the 10 grunge records that everyone needs in their life.

Impaired endogenous thrombolysis in acute coronary syndrome patients predicts cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction.
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2010 May 11;55(19):2107-15
Authors: Saraf S, Christopoulos C, Salha IB, Stott DJ, Gorog DA
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to assess endogenous thrombolytic activity in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and relate this to their likelihood of future adverse cardiovascular events. BACKGROUND: Spontaneous lysis of platelet-rich thrombi is an important defense mechanism against lasting occlusion. Despite convincing evidence for the role of endogenous fibrinolysis in ACS, the prognostic value of plasma fibrinolytic markers in assessing risk is limited. We employed a novel global test which, in addition to platelet reactivity, allows assessment of endogenous thrombolytic activity to identify ACS patients who remain at risk of cardiovascular events. METHODS: We used the global thrombosis test (GTT) to assess thrombotic and thrombolytic status in 300 ACS patients receiving dual-antiplatelet therapy. The test assesses the time required to form an occlusive thrombus, the occlusion time (OT), and the time to lyse this, the lysis time (LT). The end point of the study at 12 months' follow-up was the composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke. RESULTS: The OT and LT were both prolonged in ACS patients compared with normal volunteers (p < 0.001). LT > or =3,000 s occurred in 23% of ACS patients versus none of the normal subjects and was a significant and independent predictor of cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction in a multivariate model adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors. LT > or =3,000 s was the optimal cutoff value for predicting 12-month major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.52, 95% confidence interval: 1.34 to 4.71, p = 0.004) and cardiovascular death (HR: 4.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.13 to 15.62, p = 0.033). HR increased further as LT increased. No association was found between OT and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of endogenous thrombolytic status based on the lysis of platelet-rich thrombi from native blood using the point-of-care GTT can identify ACS patients at risk of future cardiac events.

So I really want the present to succeed, and I'm feeling antsy about seeing the quick nationwide scores within the hour. Gladly, I am starting to discover him enticing too and it's upsetting me. Final season I really didn't like him but he is just been killing me this season. The Parks and Recreation Workplace is open from eight am – 8 pm Monday via Friday and on Saturdays from 8 am – 4 pm for in-particular person registrations or you could register on-line at your convenience. I used to hate Andy when he was Ann's boyfriend but he is been hilarious this season because the shoe shine guy. After your recommendations, after liking (not loving) the primary few S1 episodes, I am thinking of catching myself up this season.
Everybody I do know was ready to present it up after the first season however they're all loving it now. Parks and Recreation is an American comedic sitcom that premiered on NBC on April ninth, 2009. The title is misleading although because women within the Parks and Recreation department are handled like one of the guys, equal. I have never commented here however I can't resist saying how a lot I really like the theme music that begins Parks and likewise the Office one. And by the time eight:30 attracts close to, I'm busied with finding a download of the episode so that I can begin on my notes for the following morning's weblog-evaluate.
The primary railroad to the Rockaways within the 1860s went through Jamaica, then all the way down to Valley Stream before going onto the department that hooked West and down the center of the peninsula to Rockaway Park. And recreation areas are open to all Town residents and different members of the general public admitted thereto in accordance with, and subject to, applicable state and federal legal guidelines, and ordinances, and rules promulgated by the Director of Parks and Recreation and the Selectmen. I'm watching the fearsome five in the meanwhile (Workplace, 30 Rock, Trendy Family, Group, and now Parks and Rec), and I can not consider that I was once apprehensive that so many hour-long exhibits I like would not be airing in the fall.
He was recurring throughout season 6 and began being billed as a member the common cast in the fourth episode of season 7. I discovered myself half-watching episodes of Parks and Rec, while scouring for hyperlinks on the Web for Neighborhood. The mission of the Tukwila Parks and Recreationis to boost the standard of life for residents, companies and visitors via a top quality system of public spaces, programs and events that enhance and promote alternatives for health and health, private development, leisure, community connection, civic engagement, and environmental stewardship.
Priorities embody promoting advocacy for parks, recreation and leisure providers and supporting staff in group outreach and marketing initiatives. Last season was a bore, but they've already grown and improved so much this season to the purpose where it is actually outshining The Office, one thing I by no means thought attainable (although I do assume that The Office, fantastic marriage ceremony episode aside, is a neater present to beat lately). Simply the funniest episode of the season, and in terms of development, as impressive to observe as The Office was in its second season.

So here recently I've been watching more TV than I normally do (none) and like everyone else who watches TV, I'm barraged by a bunch of stupid ads.
But the one that really gets me lately is this gem.
What's not to like, you ask?
I mean sure, antibiotic-free chicken, fed no animal by-products, raised in a certified humane facility. That's all great, especially coming as a selling-point from a big fast-food chain.
But what really gets my goat is this bit.
"They might not know that they're called 'tenders' because they come from the tenderloin of the breast. It's not a strip or a finger, it's a true tenderloin, hand-trimmed and cooked to order."
Are we as a culture so distanced from our food that our food purveyors can expect us not to understand that "Tenderloin of the breast" is a complete contradiction in terms?
Now I realize that many folks haven't grown up around a farm, or in a family of hunters. But the vast majority of us can understand English, and have at least a minimal grasp of anatomy.
Tenderloin. – hmm, and where is the loin exactly? Oh yeah, down there.
Breast. – from what I can recall, those are mostly on the upper half of things.
So to reiterate what english already did for us, there is no such thing as the "tenderloin of the breast" they're on opposite sides of the animal!
Oh boy.

Wednesday one of the Tall Ships rolled into Cleveland for the upcoming festivals. I didn't get to see it live but did catch it on the news. I have seen them in the past though and they are so beautiful! I saw this image on Bird's Cards blog and fell in love with it. You can find it under her free images/boys category.
I have been playing more and more with digi images but I have to be honest I still love rubber more :)
I also was in a swap for a handmade bookmark so I played around with making a tear away one from a card. Couple of changes I will make next time it to have the bookmark and card both going the same way LOL! Also put the bookmark image facing out so when you first open the card it is showing, or perhaps decorate BOTH sides of the bookmark!
Here is a close up of the bookmark part.
The light house image is unknown it is a wood block set but there are no markings on any of the sets :( Sentiment is from Hero Arts (good things msg. C2826) I used Palette inks and Copic markers to color the images and then Memento Ink for the sentiment.
Papers are DCWV, Hollo's and Neenah from Paper Temptress which was used for printing the image on.

The president's message of Western resolve in the face of Soviet communism is applicable to today's threat from China.
In 2021 the United States is emerging from four traumas: a pandemic; a recession associated with the pandemic; social divisions laid bare by George Floyd's killing and the protests and violence that followed; and vitriolic partisanship surrounding a presidential election in which leaders of both political parties, including the defeated candidate for reelection, disparaged democratic processes and government institutions to score political points. Recovering from those traumas and restoring confidence will require introspection, but American leaders would be mistaken to neglect foreign affairs. The pandemic catalyzed rather than arrested geostrategic competitions, especially the free world's competition with an increasingly aggressive Chinese Communist Party. While analogies between the 21st-century competition with the CCP and the 20th-century competition with the Soviet Union are imperfect, America's experience during the Cold War demonstrated that prevailing in competitions abroad requires confidence in democratic principles and institutions at home.
President Ronald Reagan's speech in June 1987, delivered in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, is immortalized because of the exhortation, "Mr. Gobachev, tear down this wall." Those words and that speech are often credited with accelerating the collapse of the Soviet Union and the West's triumph over communist totalitarianism because they invoked confidence that freedom would triumph over tyranny. The Berlin Wall is an apt, albeit inexact, analogy for the Great Firewall of China, the combination of laws and technologies designed to isolate the realm of the Chinese Communist Party from outside influences. One was meant to keep people in, and the other is designed to stifle freedom and prevent unsupervised personal interactions that might spark opposition to authoritarian regimes. To understand how to compete effectively with today's most powerful authoritarian regime, leaders across the free world might reflect on how Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate clarified the nature of the competition with the Soviet Union, drew a strong contrast between democracy and autocracy, provided a positive vision for the future, and spoke directly to the people on the other side of the wall.
President Reagan's speech made clear what was at stake, not only for those living under communist oppression, but for all peoples. "As long as this gate is closed, as long as this scar of a wall is permitted to stand, it is not the German question alone that remains open, but the question of freedom for all mankind." Today, as the CCP perfects its technologically enabled police state, much of the world turns a blind eye to egregious violations of human rights. That is because China co-opts countries, international corporations, and elites through false promises of impending liberalization, insincere pledges to work on global issues such as climate change, and the lure of short-term profits associated with access to Chinese consumers, investments, and loans. The CCP portrays its crimes, such as the taking of hostages and political prisoners or the forcing of millions into reeducation and labor camps, as normal practice. Co-option incentivizes elites, corporations, and countries to go along with the charade while rendering them vulnerable to coercion. The Party uses its coercive power to force acquiescence or support for efforts to extinguish human freedom internally, extend its influence internationally, and reshape the global order in a way that favors China and its authoritarian, mercantilist model. Within international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations Human Rights Council, the CCP uses co-option and coercion to turn those organizations against their purpose and provide cover for the CCP's most egregious acts. As Reagan pointed out in Berlin, the policies and actions of an aggressive authoritarian power present a challenge not only for the United States, but for all humanity.
The Berlin speech is remembered because it exposed, with a direct challenge, the nature of the free world's competition with the Soviet Union: "There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Today, leaders across the free world have an opportunity to clarify, with a similar exhortation to Chairman Xi Jinping, what is at stake in the competition with the CCP: Tear down the Great Firewall and the many walls behind which the CCP interns its political prisoners, forced laborers, and oppressed minorities.
Reagan used the physical wall to illuminate the stark contrast between two systems, leaving little room for moral equivalence. He described the wall and the border complex that comprised the Iron Curtain as an "instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state" and observed that the "news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world." He made that barrier and the oppression it represented important to all people. "Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar." Sadly, after Berliners tore down the wall in November 1989, man-made barriers that divide free and oppressed peoples persisted, such as the fences, minefields, and guard towers that run along the 38th parallel and separate South Korea's thriving democracy from the Kim family's destitute dictatorship.
But it is the 180-kilometer-long strait that connects the East China Sea and the South China Sea that marks the most consequential political obstacle between peoples who share a common culture — much as the Berlin Wall did during the Cold War. Taiwanese appear as today's West Berliners because Taiwan's successful democracy exposes the CCP's lie that the Chinese people are culturally predisposed toward not wanting a say in how they are governed. Reagan expressed respect for Berliners in 1987, noting "the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation." Leaders across the free world today might show respect for the Taiwanese and all Chinese people by acknowledging that China's recent history — from the Republican Revolution of 1911 to the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989 to the Hong Kong protests of 2020 — reveals the CCP's Leninist system as unnatural and sustainable only through oppression. Like West Berlin during the Cold War, Taiwan's vibrancy and openness can provide hope to those who, from Xinjiang to Hong Kong to Tibet to Beijing, might otherwise despair. The Taiwanese people need, as West Berliners did during the Cold War, the support of the free world to counter the CCP's aggression and deter conflict at a dangerous flashpoint that could lead to a devastating war.
Reagan delivered a confident, positive message. It has been largely forgotten that many in the West extolled the relative strengths of Soviet communism up to the moment that the system collapsed. Reagan, however, saw the competitive advantages of America and the free world. He declared that "there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is the victor." Across the world's democracies, in today's season of self-doubt brought on by the aforementioned traumas, Reagan's speech provides a reminder that self-respect is foundational to the competition with the CCP. The free world has a competitive advantage in unalienable rights: freedom of expression, of assembly, and of the press; freedom of religion and freedom from persecution based on religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation; the freedom to prosper in our free-market economic system; rule of law and the protections it affords to life and liberty; and democratic governance that recognizes that government serves the people rather than the other way around. While the free world's democratic governments and free-market economic systems are imperfect and require constant nurturing, those who extol the relative strengths of China's system and argue that the best that democracies can do is to manage their relative decline may one day find themselves as surprised as Soviet advocates and apologists were in 1989.
Some today argue that leaders should forgo criticism of the CCP's egregious human-rights violations lest CCP leaders feel insulted and withdraw from collective action in areas such as climate change. But Reagan's clear description of what was at stake in the competition between democracy and autocracy did not foreclose on cooperation with the Soviet Union. Even as he challenged Mr. Gorbachev to tear down the wall, he also called for "not merely limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, for the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth." Six months later, at the Washington Summit, Reagan and Gorbachev signed the unprecedented Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which eliminated a whole class of nuclear weapons. Confidence and transparent competition might provide the best path toward cooperation on issues of mutual interest.
Reagan also spoke directly to the people of Eastern Europe: "To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people. To those listening in East Berlin, a special word: Although I cannot be with you, I address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. For I join you, as I join your fellow countrymen in the West, in this firm, this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur ein Berlin. [There is only one Berlin.]" Rioting erupted in East Berlin as police began arresting young people who were listening to the speech. Reagan emphasized the importance of positive personal interactions across that artificial barrier, stating that "there is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds, and we would be honored to sponsor summer youth exchanges, cultural events, and other programs for young Berliners from the East. Our French and British friends, I'm certain, will do the same. And it's my hope that an authority can be found in East Berlin to sponsor visits from young people of the Western sectors." Just as Reagan advocated for the free movement of young people across a physical barrier, the United States and other free and open societies today should work to surmount the Great Firewall and reach the Chinese people.
Although some might consider expanded immigration from a rival authoritarian state risky, the United States and other free and open societies should issue more visas as part of an effort to maximize positive interactions with Chinese people and entities disconnected from CCP efforts to stifle freedom, conduct espionage, or export China's authoritarian mercantilist model. Sadly, the CCP is reducing the space and opportunities for those interactions. As the CCP intensifies the oppression of its own people, the United States and other democracies should grant asylum or parole to those who are subject to the CCP's brutality. Following the Tiananmen Square massacre, President George H. W. Bush issued an executive order that granted Chinese students in the United States the right to stay and work. In the following decade, more than three quarters of the students stayed after graduation. Many became U.S. citizens and went on to make tremendous contributions to American society.
Even if leaders across the free world adopt the essential elements of President Ronald Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate, clarify the nature of the competition with the CCP, highlight the stark contrast between democracy and authoritarianism, communicate a positive vision of democratic governance and the rule of law, and speak directly to the Chinese people, Xi Jinping and Party leaders are likely to tighten their exclusive grip on power and promote their authoritarian, mercantilist model. That is because Xi and the CCP princelings of his generation are driven by fear and ambition: fear of the chaos that could follow their loss of control, and the ambition to achieve "national rejuvenation." The COVID-19 pandemic convinced Party leaders that they have a fleeting window of strategic opportunity to strengthen their rule and revise the international order in their favor — before the economy sours; before the population grows old; before other nations realize that the Party is pursuing national rejuvenation at their expense. Moreover, CCP leaders learned one fundamental lesson from the collapse of the Soviet Union's communist empire just two years after Reagan's speech: Never compromise or grant the Chinese people a say in how the Party governs. CCP leaders blame Mikhail Gorbachev, who visited Beijing amid the Tiananmen Square protests to celebrate the 40th anniversary of relations between the Soviet Union and Communist China, for losing faith in the primacy of the Soviet-party elites. In his speech Reagan welcomed Gorbachev's policies of "change and openness," expressing his belief "that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace." But Xi and his cohort see Gorbachev's effort to make the Communist Party of the Soviet Union a "party of the whole people" as misguided and the principal cause of the Soviet Union's demise. For Xi and the CCP, freedom is a source of existential angst.
Perhaps the greatest lesson of Reagan's remarks on East–West relations is the importance of moral clarity and unambiguous language. Peter Robinson, then a 30-year-old speechwriter who is now a fellow at the Hoover Institution, drafted the speech. He and his colleague Anthony Dolan advocated strong language generally and especially for the four words that constituted that historic and prophetic challenge: "Tear down this wall." To prepare for the speech, Robinson visited Berlin, where West Berlin government officials encouraged mild rhetoric. Some stated that Berliners had gotten used to the wall. Chancellor Helmut Kohl wrote a memo in which he observed that a large number of Germans believed that progress in the relationship with the Soviet Union was possible only if the United States avoided direct condemnation. Secretary of State George Schultz and national-security adviser Colin Powell believed that strong rhetoric would undermine Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika efforts and set back the fragile relationship Reagan was building with Gorbachev. State Department officials and National Security Council staff submitted seven drafts of the speech, all of which excluded the four words. But Tom Griscom, Reagan's director of communications, had given President Reagan the draft speech before it went out for staffing. Griscom also persuaded the new White House chief of staff, Howard Baker, not to intervene or try to block the speech. Ultimately, Reagan retained the tone of the speech and those four momentous words.
The Berlin speech and other Reagan speeches that addressed the Cold War competition with the Soviet Union, such as the Westminster Address of June 1982 and the "Evil Empire" speech given at the annual convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Fla., in March 1983, explained what was at stake, for the United States and humanity, in the competition with the Soviet Union. In the latter speech, he lamented the "historical reluctance to see totalitarian powers for what they are." That reluctance abides, as some argue that, in the competition with the Chinese Communist Party, the United States faces a binary choice between accommodation and a disastrous war. Others prioritize profits over principles as they surrender to the Party's coercive power. Some rationalize their silence over heinous human-rights abuses with tortured arguments of moral equivalence. President Ronald Reagan's Berlin speech demonstrated that direct language is itself an essential element of effective competition. The speech retains its importance because it demonstrates the need for an unambiguous understanding of the nature of today's competition with the CCP, reveals how that understanding can help restore confidence in and gratitude for democratic governance, and encourages a renewed international commitment to the unalienable rights to which all peoples are entitled.

What is Caries Treatment?
A dental cavity, termed caries, is the erosion of the outer layers of the tooth caused by acid produced after carbohydrates have been digested by the regularly healthy bacteria found inside the canine mouth. If the cavity is caught early, the affected area can be cleaned out and filled to maintain the use of the tooth. However, if the cavity has eroded down to the root of the tooth, the affected tooth may require extraction or a root canal. Caries treatments that do not require extraction or alteration of the dental arcade are commonly handled by a member of the technical staff. However, true cavity/caries treatments for canines are reserved for veterinary dentists, specialists, or an in-clinic veterinarian.
Caries Treatment Procedure in Dogs
Prior to the treatment of cavities or caries, the veterinarian will request blood work including a CBC (complete blood cell count) and biochemistry profile to ensure the canine's organs (specifically the kidneys) are working properly. He or she will also review the canine's medical history for current medications and current illnesses that may interfere with the anesthetic needed for the procedure. On the day of the dental cleaning and repair, you will be asked to withhold food and water from your dog. Anesthesia often causes nausea and a full stomach may result in vomiting.
A cavity can be noted with unusual eating habits, but is commonly found during a routine dental cleaning. Therefore, the veterinarian may fix the caries on the day it was detected with no pre-visit necessary. X-rays of the dog's mouth are often required prior to treatment to know how severely the cavity has affected the tooth.
Cavity Repair – No extraction
- Intramuscular/intravenous pre-anesthetic sedative or mask gas anesthesia (less common)
- Pre-operative pain medication and antibiotic (common)
- Monitor report of vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, capillary refill time)
- Placement of an esophageal tube
- Administration of oxygen
- Administration of gas anesthetic
- Monitor report of vital signs
- Placement of patient on dental table (warm blankets maintain bodily temperature during the procedure)
- Teeth will be cleaned
- Antiseptic oral cavity solution
- Supragingival calculus removal using an ultrasonic scaler
- Periodontal probing and charting
- Subgingival cleaning using a curettage dental tool
- Irrigation
- The cavity will be removed using a sonic drill
- A restorative material will be placed in the drill out area (amalgam, resin-based, gloss ionomer, or a combination of materials)
- A fluoride overcoat treatment may be placed over the teeth to strengthen the teeth and prevent future cavities.
Cavity Repair – Extraction
In addition to the steps above, with the exception of a filler element, a dog will undergo the following in an extraction procedure:
- Extraction of the affected tooth using extraction forceps and/or a dental elevator.
- The dental socket may require stitches (canine teeth)
- The area is packed with gauze to promote a blood clot to form
Efficacy of Caries Treatment in Dogs
Caries treatment for dogs is highly effective in attaining the overall goal, which is halting the erosion of the tooth surface. Corrective treatment of caries in dogs, drilling and filling the eroded area, will likely need a second treatment in the future. Whereas the removal of the tooth eliminates the problem completely, but is only required in severely staged caries.
Caries Treatment Recovery in Dogs
After the cavity has been corrected, the patient will be taken off of gas anesthetic and oxygen. The canine will be placed in a bedded kennel to wake up comfortably once the anesthetic has worn off. The patient will be allowed to return home approximately an hour following surgery.
If the tooth was extracted, take-home medications likely include pain drugs and a broad spectrum antibiotic to prevent infection. The duration these medications are to be given lies dependent on the veterinarian's judgment. For extraction treatment, a soft food diet or water/milk additive to the kibble will be required for the next couple days. You will also be asked to rinse the dog's mouth out with an antiseptic solution to keep the dental socket clean.
Cost of Caries Treatment in Dogs
The cost of canine cavity treatment greatly depends on where you have the dog treated, pre-treatment requirements, the cost of anesthesia and your dog's specific needs. An average, a dental cleaning can cost between $50-$300 and dental filling or extraction could cost anywhere from $200-$700 or more.

Dog Caries Treatment Considerations
The risk of caries treatment is mainly in the use of anesthesia. Talk to your veterinarian about anesthesia usage and your dog. The veterinarian will calculate the anesthetic dosage and pre-sedative medication to meet your dog's specific needs. Very young and older dogs will require specialized anesthetic treatment, as high dosage of anesthetic can be fatal. The benefits of a caries or cavity treatment is the saving of an affected tooth and/or preventing bacteria from reaching the blood supply inside each tooth. A condition called septicemia can occur if a cavity eats down to the inner root of the teeth and the live bacteria enter the bloodstream. Septicemia can make a canine very ill and is potentially life-threatening.
Caries Treatment Prevention in Dogs
Caries/cavities can be prevented through proper at-home dental care and routine dental cleanings. Ask your veterinarian about proper cleaning technique for your dog's teeth to prevent plaque buildup and tartar that leads to cavities. Your dog's diet can promote cavities, as dogs feed a soft food or raw diet have had a higher cavity report rate than those fed a kibble diet.

Star Topology
A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub or concentrator.
Data on a star network passes through the hub or concentrator before continuing to its destination. The hub or concentrator manages and controls all functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. This configuration is common with twisted pair cable; however, it can also be used with coaxial cable or fiber optic cable.
Advantages of a Star Topology
Easy to install and wire.
No disruptions to the network then connecting or removing devices.
Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.
Disadvantages of a Star Topology
Requires more cable length than a linear topology.
If the hub or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled.
More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the concentrators.

Manchester City couldn't have asked for a better start to the English Premier League season, but they face a difficult road ahead without their captain for the next month.
Centerback Vincent Kompany has been ruled out for at least four weeks due to a groin injury suffered in the second half of Monday's 4-0 rout against Newcastle. The Belgian was forced off the field in the 71st minute, and faces a lengthy spell away from the pitch.
"I prefer the doctor has the final word on this but I think he will be out for at least one month," Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini told the club's website. "Today or tomorrow we will know exactly how long Vincent will be out for."
The injury also surely will keep Kompany out of the Belgium National Team's upcoming World Cup qualifier at Scotland on September 6. Belgium are the only nation in UEFA World Cup 2014 qualifying that have assured at least second place in their group.
Here are some more stories to get your Friday started:
With Brazilian midfielder Willian just moments away from signing for Tottenham, London rivals Chelsea have stunned the footballing world with a late £30 million bid, putting the move to Spurs in disarray.
The Anzhi Makhachkala player, who is being sold by the club as a way for them to reduce payroll, had already arrived in London and completed a medical with the Tottenham doctors before Chelsea came involved. On Friday, during Jose Mourinho's press conference at Stamford Bridge, the manager hinted that Willian had agreed to join Chelsea, and the transfer could be completed in a matter of days.
The news is a huge blow to Tottenham, who were so close to sealing another talented midfield signing to add to their ever burgeoning squad. Last season, Willian split his time between Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine and Anzhi, making a total of 35 appearances in all competitions. In a Champions League match last year, Willian scored two goals in a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Taking a page out of Pele's book, Real Madrid legend Raul played one half with his former and current team on Thursday night, returning to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the first time as a player since he left the club in 2010.
In a friendly match between Real Madrid and Raul's current side Al-Sadd from Qatar, the hosts won, 5-0, with Raul scoring a goal on his return. The former Spanish international was handed his former No. 7 jersey from Cristiano Ronaldo for the match, and Raul was given a standing ovation following the match from the Madridista fans.
Raul had to wipe away tears as he was given a commemorative plaque, and posed for pictures next to the dozens of trophies he won during his time at Real Madrid.
After just one season in London, Lukas Podolski is rumored to be on his way back to Germany.
According to reports in Germany, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to offload the German international, with FC Schalke 04 interested in bringing Podolski to the club on loan. The 28-year-old forward, who started 25 Premier League matches last season, has opened the season for the Gunners on the fringes, with two appearances off the bench, both of them with just minutes remaining in the Aston Villa and Fenerbahce matches.
The reports in Germany state that Podolski is looking for a place where he can be a first team regular, so he can ensure a place in the Germany squad at next summer's World Cup, assuming they qualify.
Former France international Nicolas Anelka walked out of training on Thusday due to a personal bereavement, and is contemplating retirement. (REPORT)
Although it hasn't been officially announced by the FMF, Valencia CF announced on their website that winger Andres Guardado has been called up by El Tri to face Honduras and the United States. (REPORT)
Barcelona midfielder Ibrahim Afellay is set for yet another long-term spell on the sidelines, as he's had surgery on the troublesome right thigh and has been ruled out for four months. (REPORT)
Animal rights organization PETA has written to UEFA President Michel Platini to urge him to stop the slaughter of animals in stadiums, after Kazakhstan side Shakhter Karagandy sacrificed a sheep before their 2-0 victory against Celtic in a UEFA Champions League match. (REPORT)
The Hungarian Football Federation has fined club Ferencvaros just €2,700 for raising a banner of a Nazi war criminal during a match against rivals MTK, who historically were supported by a Jewish minority. (REPORT)
What do you think of this news? How much of an impact does Kompany's injury have on Man City? Surprised that Chelsea was able to bid late for Willian? Happy to see Raul receive the send-off he never had?

Potential Problem Reading VCC on NodeMCU
AffordableTech last edited by
Hi All,
On a NodeMCU Ver1, I was having problems with analogRead(A0) returning 65535 no matter what voltage I applied to the ADC pin?
In researching the cause, I discovered that having MY_DEBUG and/or MY_SPECIAL_DEBUG defined causes the ADC_MODE to be configured by MySensors to read the CPU VCC and thus AnalogRead(A0) returns 65535 as a 'reminder' that the ADC port is not available, Fair enough....
However, in my reading I noted that for the ESP8266 to read VCC correctly, the ADC pin must remain unconnected (floating). Here is where I see a potential MySensors problem, all the latest NodeMCU Ver 1 boards that I have been receiving have a resistor divider, making the ADC input range 0 to 3.3 Volts, therefore the MySensors VCC reading will not be reliable on these boards and there is no config setting etc that can resolve this.
I've made this post to draw attention to this as I've not seen it addressed anywhere before (despite a full day's researching the issue (see references below).
Perhaps one of the ArduinoESP8266 core developers can shed more light on this.
