GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Georgia Tech junior pitcher Zac Ryan is one of 70 players named to the initial 2016 Stopper of the Year Award Watch List, released Monday by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The award is given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball.
Ryan, a third-team Preseason All-America selection by Louisville Slugger, enjoyed a breakout season as a sophomore, finishing the 2015 campaign with a 9-1 record and seven saves in a team-best 28 relief appearances. The righty posted a 3.59 ERA in 47.2 innings with 40 strikeouts against just 15 walks. Ryan, who was among the top relievers in the ACC, was the only relief pitcher in the conference to finish with seven or more saves and eight or more wins.
His nine wins were tied for second among all pitchers and his seven saves were sixth in the ACC. Additionally, his nine wins were the most in a season by a Jacket since Buck Farmer's nine in 2013.
Tech returns 20 letterwinners from 2015 and welcomes a talented class of freshmen that was ranked as high as No. 4 nationally. Georgia Tech, ranked No. 21 in the Collegiate Newspaper Preseason Top 25, opens its 2016 season on Friday against Purdue at Russ Chandler Stadium. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m. on WREK 91.1 FM.
The ACC led the way with 10 players on this year's watch list, while the Big Ten and Pac-12 each had eight honorees.
Nominations for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award were made by baseball sports information/media relations contacts. The 2016 Stopper of the Year Watch List will be updated with a midseason release on Wednesday, April 27, including the national saves leaders. At the conclusion of the regular season, the Division I national saves leader and four other relief pitching standouts will be selected as finalists and released Wednesday, June 8, prior to start of NCAA Super Regional competition.
The NCBWA's All-America Committee will select the winner, with this year's recipient to be announced at the 2016 College World Series.

Written for Credi Pty Ltd by Nicholas Perman
Being a part of generation Y has its challenges. One of the many challenges currently facing 20 something's is buying a house. For students like myself, there are really only two options available. Live with your parents or start renting.
Today's property market is both challenging and rewarding for those who are able to enter the market. For people like myself, a 22-year-old university student, the possibility of self-funding a deposit for a home is virtually impossible. So the question stands, how do I fund my future? It seems a daunting task, with lending from the bank seeming like a never-ending trap of interest rates.
Luckily, I've found a solution. The #BankOfMumAndDad or BOMAD. Although this may seem like a cop-out to some, I've found this is my only way to get my foot in the door and set myself up for the future. With many speculating that real estate prices will drop in the next year, I have devised a plan to help secure my future in the real estate market.
Using #Credi, my parents and I are going to organise a payment plan, where I will pay them back over a due period. By using Credi I can formalise and manage this agreement with my parents or BOMAD. I will also be able to take advantage of the low property prices expected in the next year, without falling into a heap of debt with a bank.
Once I finish Uni at the end of 2017, I am hoping to gain full-time employment, which will help me gain the finances needed to pay my parents back for the initial loan over time. In a time where my generation is struggling to get out of the rent trap, #Credi is a life raft, allowing those who are fortunate enough to get a loan from the bank of Mum and Dad to get their foot in the door of Perth's profitable property market.
In a time where my generation is struggling to get out of the rent trap, #Credi is a life raft, allowing those who are fortunate enough to get a loan from BOMAD to get their foot in the door and access the property market.
Credi's ability to let you pay back the loan over anytime, of any amount and including any conditions is attractive. They're also in the process of creating a document that can document the agreement as a gift, which some parents like to do. The platform also helps you take steps to become financially minded, by helping you manage your money and loan agreements without affecting your credit rating. It's almost practice for later on in life when we might need to go to a bank for a larger loan.

Reprogramming power: Audrey Tang is bringing hacker culture to the state
Taiwan's reforms show what happens when techies get their hands on government
Ask Audrey Tang for an interview and she'll respond with a link to a document called the radical transparency protocol. To speak to her, you must be willing for the whole conversation to be transcribed and posted publicly online. Sure enough, when we begin our conversation, she hits record on her dictaphone as I do on mine.
Researching Tang — Taiwan's digital minister — makes for many such unfamiliar encounters. Putting questions to g0v (pronounced "gov zero"), the community of tech radicals of which Tang is an active participant "(not a member, g0v doesn't have "membership")", is done through an open online document: every g0v participant can respond to the questions. Reading through the replies is more akin to eavesdropping on a conversation than holding an interview. You provide the essay question, they discuss.
But Tang's unconventional biography prepares you for nothing less. Tall and dressed head-to-toe in black, when we meet at London's Grange Rochester Hotel it takes two attempts for the waiter to bring the drink she ordered, an improvised : cocoa with added ice cubes. She's the world's only transgender minister, a hacker, a protester, a "conservative anarchist" and a junior high school dropout. Since she first took on a government role in 2016, Tang has worked to bring radical reforms to Taiwan's government — both the policies it enacts, and the way it makes them.
Tang and g0v's work shows what happens when people who grew up on the internet get their hands on the building blocks of government. Public servants beyond Taiwan should watch closely: what they decide to build could be a sign of things to come.
From protester to policymaker
Tang's entry to government in 2016 came after two tumultuous years in Taiwan, beginning with March 2014's "Sunflower Movement" demonstrations. Activists occupied Taiwan's legislature for 23 days in protest at the lack of public oversight for a controversial new trade deal with mainland China.
Tang took part in the protests, even helping to set up the occupation's WiFi connection, but it was the period following which propelled her and g0v to government.
Later that year, then-digital minister Jaclyn Tsai decided to attend a g0v hackathon. These had been taking place since December 2012. The group meets to "fork'" government — to radically redesign and rebuild an existing government process or service — and from this create new tools to show citizens how the state operates.
The emphasis is on delivery: building a viable service quickly, and improving it over time. The first hack, budget.g0v.tw, made in 2012, shows Taiwan's budget spending for the public with clear, interactive data visualisations. Everything g0v makes is open source, and can be picked up and used by anyone.
"Basically we experiment [with] what works," wrote a g0v participant going by the username "ael" during Apolitical's group interview with the collective. "Trial and error. No formal structure and designing process."
Impressed by what she saw, Tsai invited g0v to participate directly with government. The immediate product of this was vTaiwan, a digital citizen participation platform designed to boost consensus rather than fuel disputes.
Citizens post comments online on what they want from new policies, but rather than respond to existing comments, they can only up or downvote them. This helps to stymie conflict and promote constructive participation.
At the next election in 2016, the incumbent government was voted out of office. The liberal Democratic Progressive Party, and with it Taiwan's first female president, Tsai Ing-wen, was voted in. Tang, who had worked closely with Jaclyn Tsai on the development of vTaiwan, was invited by the new government to become a minister without portfolio.
It's clear actually entering government was always part of Tang's vision of what g0v could be. She showed me some coloured shapes on her tablet; a screenshot of join.gov.tw/acts, the latest budget visualisations site, now officially adopted by the authorities.
"Just by choosing this domain name [g0v.tw], basically it says we're a standby solution for the government," she said. "What we were offering, basically, is a demo theme, a theme for a demonstration for viable attendees. Because we relinquished copyright, naturally, the government just merged things right back in."
The post-2014 years have been fertile ground for g0v's ideas. "That's when we started working for real," Tang said. The 2016 election result, which saw opponents of the occupation voted out and reformers voted in, sent a "clear signal that anyone who is not for crowdsourcing and open government [will] lose the election."
Political preparations
Similarly radical is Tang's approach to her job. She describes herself as a "conservative anarchist", there to tear down the barriers between people and government, but also to advance reform through give-and-take consensus, rather than conflict. For now, government still has a role to play, but it has to be completely responsive to society.
"I don't give command nor take command, but I just act as a very reliable channel to contextualize policymaking, so that the civic society can know exactly what's going on," she said. It's almost as if she has reimagined the role of a minister as that of a chatroom moderator.
In practice, this channel runs through the Public Digital Innovation Space (PDIS), Taiwan's innovation lab, and the Participation Officers' Network it facilitates. Both set up under Tang's watch, public servants from across Taiwan's departments meet each other and the public to hash out solutions to public service challenges. Tang also holds weekly office hours where citizens or public servants can come to meet her and share their opinions.
"Civil society is held at an equal place as the government," she said. The spaces Tang and g0v have created for Taiwanese society to interact with government don't reinforce government's power, but are designed to make sure that power is used to achieve what people really want, not what government thinks they want.
"I don't give command nor take command"
And being truly open means bridging the gap between those with technical skills and those without them. It's a knotty problem that all public servants working in digital have to contend with. Though moving services online is meant to make them more efficient and user-friendly, many, in particular older people, find the shift difficult to adjust to.
For Tang this makes empathy essential: her experience as a trans woman is useful here, she says. "Having gone through two puberties, I'm more able to empathise with people, I guess," she said. "There's a whole notion of intersectionality, like having a organisational advantage or even privilege in one hand, but having a really vulnerable lifting experience, on the other hand, and using the former to help people in the latter."
She cites Taiwan's new school curriculum as good practice. Since 2014 its has reduced its emphasis on exams and the hard technical skills which are prioritised in many Asian countries' school systems, and opened access to arts subjects. In addition, Taiwan uses digital opportunity centres in provincial areas, to help people in rural places develop tech skills.
Everything must be see-through. Transparency is a tenet which reformists in governments worldwide subscribe to; it's the guiding principle of the Open Government Partnership and the reason so many developers publish their code online and open source. It's g0v and Tang's core principle. In a world where information is power, transparency helps prevent the monopolisation of information. This applies to g0v itself.
"If we look at g0vernance of g0v, since g0v has many "centers", they theoretically check and balance each other," wrote "chihao", a g0v participant. "This mechanism is very tolerant, dependent on the individual judgement of what is right and wrong — to me, to argue that g0v should "limit its own power" is weird because it is not a single entity."
Has the experience of government moderated this radicalism? For the g0v participants I spoke to, the answer is no.
"It is interesting that some think g0v now has Audrey as 'the bridge' to government" wrote ael. "Audrey personally doesn't push any policy agenda at all, not even open data. Her attitude is: if you want to change any policy, talk to the department in charge, not to her — I don't think whether Audrey is in the office would change how g0v works, but [it] can change the government['s] attitudes towards digital policies and digital bureaucracy to be more open."
Participation in government hasn't required pragmatism or a change in direction for Tang, she says, but more of the same. It's because, even when coding, g0v was always doing politics.
"If you look at the first few requests for comments in the Internet Society [a tech community organisation set up in the 1990s to promote open standards for the internet], it's all politics," she said. "They were very clear that what they're doing is [a] new kind of policymaking — we're very cognisant of the inherent political nature of code, and have been doing so for the past 20 years or so."
"Having gone through two puberties, I'm more able to empathize with people, I guess"
More and more, code dictates what public servants are able to do. It processes and distributes welfare and benefit payments, and, with AI, it can help to make decisions. For Tang, it's "physical law", and the coder/policymaker needs to pay close attention to the way they use language: that goes for programming language as much as everyday words.
Because of this, Tang argues that policymakers should consider themselves poets. Where it's a poet's job to attempt to express the truth of experience through writing, the policymaker should use language or code to enact the public will, as they see it, and attempt to turn a mass of ideas and wishes into reality.
"The poetic part of it is where the radical trust and transparency really comes in." said Tang. Public servants should be completely open, to show they're acting in good faith. Here, withholding information, building black boxes, failing to be open about the way government's digital systems are made or how they operate, is dishonest. And a policymaker who doesn't work transparently or who withholds information is just a bad poet.
Participants, not members
Things have changed quickly in Taiwan, so, as my last question, I asked g0v if they've experienced any setbacks along the way over the last few years.
The answer, in the main is no, though "pm5" worries that "the public's seemingly unchanged fixation towards 'au' [Tang's username] and the tendencies to interpret g0v through a single person's words" detracts from the wider work of the group.
chihao agrees. "Seriously people. g0v is not a person. g0v is not an organization with a CEO. There are so much more in g0v than au."
The final comment comes from Audrey, or au, herself.

If you're curious about how long this process takes, here's a timeline of our story thus far:
In 2012, we began to pursue a domestic adoption through our home state of South Carolina. We completed our education, but our home study got interrupted when we had a baby!
In the summer of 2013, we resumed the home study process and were approved by DSS in August.
About a year after we finished our home study, our social worker came to give us our annual interview/update, and told us that we would probably be waiting to be matched for a very, very long time. She suggests we seek a private or an international adoption.
After praying, talking with agencies, and talking to each other, we decide that we want to pursue an international adoption. Our purpose in adoption was not solely to grow our family, but to provide a home for a child who had none. We knew that babies in private adoptions generally are not what we think of as "orphans", but many children overseas are. After lots of prayer and discussion, we decide to move pursue an adoption from China.
We applied to an agency, and after spending lots of time going over their paperwork, we decided that it was not a good fit. We searched and prayed to find another agency that we felt had our family's best interests at heart. In October, we applied and were accepted into the Lifeline Children's Services China Program, and in November, we started the home study process over again.
We first laid eyes on a picture of our boy on December 15th, and asked for his file to be sent to us. We received his file on 12/17/14 and asked to place his file "on hold" with our agency that same night. We had his file reviewed by doctors, talked with our families, and prayed like crazy. With the Christmas holidays and vacations for us and our social worker, I can't remember the exact date that we said "yes" to moving forward and towards our boy, but sometime during the last part of december, we let our agency know, and we started on paperwork that would get as pre-approval from China.

Natural Cycles is an app that women can use to monitor their menstruation cycles. By measuring temperatures and monitoring your cycle, it can tell you the times of the month you are most fertile – i.e. the days to avoid having sex (or use extra precautions) if you don't want to get pregnant.
It's been certified as a valid form of contraception in the EU, but it's been hit with a wave of complaints, blaming it for 37 unwanted pregnancies that resulted in abortion.
It's unfortunate – but no form of contraception is 100% effective, even when used exactly as intended. Leaving an app to decide when you're at your most fertile, however – well, it's surprising the success rate is as high as it is, really. It relies on you inputting the data correctly and regularly (what if you forgot to record your temperature one day?) as well as making assumptions about your menstrual cycle. Hell, when I don't even know what's going on with my own body most of the time, I can't expect an algorithm to know it.
A spokesperson for Natural Cycles stated that the method is 93% effective – which is pretty high, considering that the pill is only 91% effective according to the NHS website – and so as more users sign up to the service, it's only logical that more unwanted pregnancies from its userbase will occur. It's a matter of statistics.
What the Natural Cycles app offers is pretty much what people had to rely on before contraception was a thing: the knowledge of your own body and cycle. But of course, we need apps and technology to tell us everything these days. [The Verge]

I was away in Cambodia for six splendid days, with two extra days added to this day count for the time that was spent suspended between time zones up in the skies amongst the clouds, where I normally play at being "pretend god" for a while! With partner, a son, and a friend in tow the four of us stepped into this amazing cultural treat where hours melted away as we were transported back into the glories of the past, via the architectural feats of temple carvings that weave stories of Hindu and Buddhist mythology that leave you gasping in sheer amazement at the skill and technique and sophistication of their visual language. It in someways made the entire modernist period look like a poor second cousin!
As we climbed steep stone steps of temples and literally soaked in the sun that lives in the clearest of blue skies, we were surrounded by the sounds of hundreds of cicadas insects that filled the quiet spaces that surrounds these monuments with a magical music that sounds truly like a John Cage symphony! With lisping Cambodian children who hawk their trinkets with the charm of practised sentences that know how to tug at your heart strings, and women selling mysteries from their kitchens wrapped in banana leaves, you know for sure that the enchantress of adventures has cast her spell completely to entice you to be in love with everything.
.......And then you stand in the rooms of S-21 and hear the silent screams as you revisit the horrors of the Pol Pot regime and know that history isn't always the dream that was promised as the future. With agonising deliberation hundreds of photographs document the chilling tales of the demonistic delight of brutality that is in evidence till today in the maimed bodies and tortured minds that make up the living memories of this tragic past.
As I opened the book I had taken to read, "Evening the Whole Day" by Preeta Samarasan, I was confronted by the opening page that had this remarkably apt quote from Waterland by Graham Swift that reads:
History begins only at the point where things go wrong; history is born only with trouble, with perplexity, with regret. So that hard on the heels of the word Why comes the sly and wistful word If. If it had not been for....If only.....Were it not......Those useless Ifs of history. And, constantly impeding, deflecting, distracting the backward searchings of the question why, exists this other form of retrogression: If only we could have it back. A New Beginning. If only we could return.....

Add pixplzkthnx to PsytrancePlz to be adding some pix now kthnx. Consult the image selection process for help, or just google up some pix.
Plz remove this notice once there are plenty of pix.
Psytrance is a form of music enjoyed by autistic white people with dreadlocks. Much like leprosy, enthusiasts ruin everything they touch, but are thankfully easy to spot. Sounds like shit, even on drugs.
Way back... long, long, long ago.. God said, "Let there be Psytrance" and when Simon Posford saw the light, he stood up, pulled down his pants and released a large epic crap on his brand new shiny Roland TB-303 and thus was Goa PsyTrance born. And it was good. Sometimes. Well, Occasionally.
Psytrance was created by white hippies who visted, and then subsequently decided to take over, Goa India in an effort to obtain lulz. The virus carrying Wookies enjoyed lots of psychedelics - especially LSD (before the great lsd bust of 2000) and talking to "Aliens" (who turned out to be pedophiles) then created an entire sub-culture of an annoyingly similar-to-shit form of techno music.
Over time "Goa Trance" evolved into 39812934158 sub-genres including, but not limited to: Psytrance, Prog trance, minimal, trauma, France, neuro, Suomi, Aussie, Forest,Unicorn, scary, evil, morning, shit, fluffy, banging, The Hammer, Israeli, Cult of Gil and most pathetically, something called 'Psydub.' Most of it is unoriginal and spawns a lot of lulz; however, when high on drugs, people seem to dance to it. And if the drugs are not cut with shit may even reach the ultimate zen of a Unicorn Orgy.
One day after the auditory almost rape became too much, a group of people went on a small acid trip and joined forces and created a cult named Chickenhed as a way to counter the banality of the "scene" (although they quickly became everything which they had originally joined together to oppose). Around the same time, some terrorists got together and started a forum to talk about all things relevant to fat 13-year-old boys.
The most popular songs and artists all involve drug use and/or aliens.
- The Infinity Project
- Infected Mushroom
- Astral Projection
- Hallucinogen
- Space Tribe
- Pleiadians
- 1200mics
- Shpongle
- KoxBox
The best name is of course Logic Bomb, for it is most representative of their listening base.
There are also collaborations between Paris Hilton and Infected Mushroom as well as projects involving Shpongle and the formerly-of-Phish cocaine addict Trey Anastasio. Neither project is worth finding on MySpace.
The new album out by Younger Brother would have been better if Robert Smith of The Cure sang on it. The vocalist they got sucks and ruined the entire album.
Regional Differences
As with television, Psytrance from different regions paint 16 year old girls differently. In the Northwest region of the USA (specifically Oregon), they burn babies in fires called XLR8R's. In Sweden, they get mad erections while listening to the same faggotry drum beat over and over. In Israel, they commit jihad on anyone who talks shizzle about that dickhead Erez. There are a lot of likenessesses between the regions though. Each region thinks theirs has the most superior form of acid dance music. Unfortunately, there has been no kind of Rocky Balboa championship boxing contest to determine a real winner. Like your mom, this winner-takes-all contest to decide who reigns GODLY is simply frontin' on my dick!
Future Ramifications
In a century from now, long after the world ends on 2012 from a camp fire holocaust, PsyTrance will be remembered as music those kids-who-listen-to-too-much-Pacman-sounds-while-thinking-DMT-will-bring-them-enlightenment jammed out to all night long. Too bad some never got the memo.
Psytrance Archetypes
Like many scenes, there are archetypes that sub-divide a sub-divided group even more. It is important, however, that these groups are labeled so we can judge people at parties without talking to them and in many cases even seeing, hearing, or smelling them. Thankfully, the good folks and contributors at TranceAmericana(defunct) have done this for us already. These accurate descriptions of Psytrance party attendees include, not only the artist, dj/drug dealer, and vj, but more important archetypes such as the cokehead, drug nerd, psysnob, naked guy, jaded promoter, russian israelis, DJ groupies, fake indians, and many many more.

Artist Bio
Jagara are three sisters from London, named after a female warrior character from the anime world. Last summer they played over 15 festivals around the UK, as well as London Calling in Amsterdam to huge acclaim, showcasing their talents as multi-instrumentalists and expert harmonisers. Cat on synths and electronic drum samples, Jane on guitars and lead vocals and Ruth switching between different instruments to create a dramatic, bold and electric live set which varies from stripped back 80s synth electronica (think New Order), guitar-led punk pop (Blondie) to R&B/funk moments (as in future single 'Twice' and the audacious 'Last Dance') and even euphoric Grimes-inspired dance builds and drops. 2016 has been the year that JAGARA have truly found themselves, their debut single 'Let Me Go', written by the sisters and co-producer Charlie Hugall (Florence and the Machine, Crystal Fighters) is a triumphant introduction to their new direction and an exciting taste of what's to come, as they continue to refine their vision and work towards their debut album.

Secret agents get a bad rap most of the time. The nature of their business requires them to engage in all manner of morally questionable conduct. From the good old fashioned lies they have to tell even their loved ones to the random women they have to bed to maintain their cover as an international playboy to the nonstop murders they must commit in order to bring down whatever colorful evil mastermind is threatening American hegemony that week, it's easy to lump them in with other terrible people such as bankers, politicians and soccer fans.
So when one of them demonstrates the humanity of a Ghandi or Dali Lama we should salute them. So I tip my cap to you Agent 3S3 for confirming that the woman you were assigned to screw information out of was not underage!
But don't let 3S3's concern for international statutory rape law make you believe for one second that this is some sort of goody two shoes spy who spends his time carding his conquests and ordering Shirley Temples. When presented with incontrovertible evidence that a woman is old enough to show her who the real man with the golden gun is, 3S3 isn't going to let an ongoing investigation into an international terror organization get in the way of some prime 1960s tail.
The woman whose house he ducked into to hide from his pursuers during one particularly heated battle? Banged her as soon as they left! And then got dressed in her husband's clothes and took her husband's speedboat! The name's Schlong. James Schlong.
Agent 3S3 (his name is Walter Ross so obviously I'll be referring to him as Agent 3S3) gets the most important assignment of his career! An assignment so urgent even the Soviets provided a little info because this isn't one of these Cold War East vs. West deals. If only it were that simple!
No, this is one of our own gone bad! The best spy we ever had, Mr. A. has opened up his own shop called… The Organization! And he and his crew do spy-for-hire gigs or are trying to get rich or take over the world. (I never figured out what they were up to – they spent the whole movie completely flummoxed by a horny guy named Walter.)
The Organization did start off strong by killing a girl for some microfilm, but really tailed off the rest of the way, using its vast powers and resources to launch increasingly moronic schemes to eliminate Agent 3S3 before he could find Mr. A. There was the time they tried killing 3S3 by running his embarrassingly beat up VW Bug off a snow covered road, but 3S3 bailed out in the nick of time. Then there was the painfully convoluted plan to use Mr. A.'s daughter Jasmine to kill both him and her which resulted not only in the deaths of a number of Organization members, but also the movie's funniest moment.
While staking out Jasmine's house waiting for 3S3 to show up for his date, one of the bad guys whines about 3S3 being late before he finally arrives in a cab. Yeah, he's late because he doesn't have a car anymore thanks to you! This is Bond on a budget. He has exactly one lame gadget – an ugly broach with a tracking device that he can track using a large pair of sunglasses. There sure as hell aren't any extra Aston Martins in the 3S3 garage.
Agent 3S3: Passport to Hell is one of many Eurospy films made in the early to mid 1960s following the success of the first few Bond movies and it does a decent job of presenting a stripped down version of those films. There are locations that at least appear exotic to American audiences (Austria and Beirut), but the villains are forgettably bland and the action generally involves guys chasing and fighting each other. 3S3 also has a local intelligence officer he teams up with and there's even a big henchman who is obviously an uninspired nod to Oddjob.
The story doesn't attempt much beyond 3S3's pursuit of Mr. A. though there is a nice twist near the end of the film that would have been more effective if it hadn't been needlessly telegraphed by a character earlier. This twist does at least explain why the death of Jasmine was ordered which seemed completely absurd at the time.
George Ardisson is fine as your proxy Bond, bringing his high energy brand of judo to various brawls he gets mixed up throughout the film. While I can't say the I was ever moved enough by his acting or character to actually root for him, he at least didn't do anything to make me dislike him. No one else (including the sexy good woman and the sexy evil woman) does anything memorable. Still it was a time when competent knock offs of popular movies were needed to fill drive-ins and TV slots around the world and so it isn't too surprising that Sergio Sollima's well-paced effort found itself with a sequel in next year's Agent 3S3: Massacre in the Sun which smartly dialed up the goofy spy insanity a bit.

I've had some problems with Visual Studio getting confused about what has and has not been built, and I found a post recommending removing the bin and obj directories for all projects in the solution.
My first instinct was into git bash and a quick find
find . \(-name "bin" -or -name "obj"\) -exec rm -r {} \;
Then I wondered what the PowerShell equivalent of that would be
This page ( https://sachabarbs.wordpress.com/2014/10/24/powershell-to-clean-visual-studio-binobj-folders/ ) provided me with
gci -inc bin,obj -rec | rm -rec -force
But that's a little dangerous removing files named bin and obj too so here is a safer version that only considers directories
Get-ChildItem -inc bin,obj -Directory -Recurse | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

China Has Agreed To Reduce Tariffs On US Car Imports - Trump
US President, Donald Trump, has said that Beijing will "reduce and remove" the 40% tariffs it places on US cars imported into China.
US President, Donald Trump
China has not commented on President Trump's announcement, which he made on Twitter without providing details.
The move, if confirmed, would be welcomed by a car industry unsettled by the escalating US-China trade war.
President Trump and Xi Jinping have now agreed to a temporary truce in the bitter dispute.
Over dinner at the G20 summit, they agreed to not increase tariffs for 90 days to allow for talks.
Failure to strike a deal would have seen tariffs on $200bn worth of Chinese goods rise from 10% to 25% at the start of next year, and would have opened the way for tariffs on additional Chinese goods.
China has agreed to reduce and remove tariffs on cars coming into China from the U.S. Currently the tariff is 40%.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2018
Asian markets rallied after news of the trade war truce. In China, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index jumped 2.6% and the Shanghai Composite index rallied 2.9%. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1%.
The trade war has seen the US and China hit each other with escalating tariffs in an attempt to make their domestically made goods more competitive.
The US says its tariff policy is a response to China's "unfair" trade practices and accuses it of intellectual property theft.
Since July, the US has hit China with tariffs on $250bn (£195.9bn) worth of goods. China has retaliated with duties on some $110bn of US goods over the same period.

What on earth is that thing called Beer Yoga? We know that there are many labels for styles of Yoga already! You've heard the names and maybe you practice one of them or more: Acro Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Hot Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Power Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Restorative Yoga, SUP Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga.
If you explore the yoga "ecosystem" you will find more. The list seems endless! Every now and then someone announces a style of exercise or stretching and attaches the word "yoga" next to it. But… Beer Yoga? I mean, that is hilarious. That "thing" seems to be practiced as a combination of exercise (really?) and entertainment in many and different countries!
Who created that?
Well, it seems to have its origins in the depths of (you expected "history", right) a festival. Yes, it was in the Burning Man festival where a course like that started. However, some saw an "opportunity" there. Allegedly some German (rings a bell on beer, right?) yoga instructors transformed that into a fitness craze.
Reports fly in from many countries and continents into Beer Yoga sessions. Australia, USA, Europe you name it, they do it, although in some states in USA beer is offered after the class and not during the session.
Has the world gone mad or simply bored?
How do they practice Beer Yoga?
It seems they do it all. They have beer salutations (from "Sun Salutations"), asanas, balancing poses where people are balancing beer bottles on their heads. Yet, what happens when you lose balance after sipping a few.
So, apparently you need to love beer maybe even more than yoga?
Maybe doing Beer Yoga your get to higher levels of consciousness or you just "get high"? Drinking a few beers while doing the dynamic breathing (called ujjayi breathing) may cause the "consumption" of increased amounts of oxygen along with the alcohol beer has.
You may start seeing some visions or -you know- colors? I am thinking of it and laughing out loud as I type these lines!
What happens if you drink so much, you got to go to the loo? Is it permitted? What about burping?
Maybe you should not do the 'happy baby' (Ananda Balasana) and drink beer, as it will lead to gas problems.
I wonder how they open the bottle? Perhaps with a scorpion pose (Vrschikasana)? Totally weird.
Seems people are getting bored and want to try different things. That is an interesting information, maybe for yoga trainers, so to incorporate variations in their daily routine.
Is Beer Yoga "good"? Is it "bad"? Well, according to scriptures around yoga "that way" seems not to be correct, but bottom line, who really knows how people will find their path along the way? Perhaps it can act as a way to break they dual mind (or a bottle).
Perhaps after a Beer Yoga session they might start exploring what Yoga is all about!
Have fun!

Car Covers – What's In It For You
You may have looked at your car recently and wondered where on earth you'd taken it that has made it look so weather-beaten. The truth is, there is no reason for you to tour the world for you car to look like this. It happens from being parked outside your house uncovered. Yes, Uncovered. When a vehicle of any kind is left parked outdoors, it gets attacked by nature itself. If it isn't the dust, tree sap, and bird dropping that all find refuge over the exterior, staining and ruining it, then it's the weather. Most weather conditions are not healthy for your parked vehicle. The sun's glare, together with ultra violet rays, damage both the exterior and interior of the car. The paint work and finish of the car will be bleached before long, giving the bmw car cover a very washed out look. The driving cabin will get overheated, making it unbelievably stuffy for you to drive. Aside from all that, the internal system of the car get damage when left in the heat. Rain has high levels of acidity which causes it to eat away at the paint work. This gives the vehicle a patchy, ugly look. This is in addition to the many watermarks left all over the exterior. Snow has the same effect, only worse as it cause the vehicle to freeze over, tampering with the brakes whilst doing so.
As the wind blows about, it manages to drag along with it all sorts of rubble from the street. This includes sticks and stones, which, when they fly past the car, end up knocking it and scratching and or denting it. These little nicks and dings can happen even in the calmest of weather conditions. If someone brushes past the car and his keys are dangling from his belt, they knock and scratch the car too. So you see that there are all sorts of day to day circumstances that will end up wrecking your car before you know it. Whereas if you would cover your car, you will provide it, and yourself, with all the protection it needs. There are various types of covers available, so no matter where you live, you will find the cover that will suit your climate best.

Where and How to Buy a Car Cover
Finding Covers for your vehicles isn't very hard, there are auto part stores, retail stores like WalMart and also the Internet. In most auto part stores like Auto Zone they carrier a line of covers, but they are limited to the shelving they have available, so you will not have a large selection to choose from. There will only be a few of the most common car covers, truck covers, motorcycle covers and maybe van, station wagon and so on. You will be able to order the cover you need from the counter and that will take some time to get there. You might have to pay the shipping for the cover. There are retail stores that sell vehicle covers but once again they are limited to space and choice. In most retail stores you will find a limited selection of covers and you won't be able to order the cover you need. In both the auto parts and retail store you will find high pricing on these covers. When you buy a cover from the auto parts store they won't be as helpful in answering your questions as to sizing and which cover would work best in your area. The only information you will find is whats on the box of the cover they are selling. This makes it a crap shoot and you may have to deal with returns and just excepting the cover as is. Most of the counter help will not have a good knowledge of the covers they are selling, so you won't be able to get much information from them.
Another thing to note, retail stores won't be very helpful as to sizing and choice of cover for your area. If you try to ask a floor person about the covers they will only to able to tell you where they are. You will only be able to get information off the box the cover is in and that is very limited. Most of the covers sold in both the parts and retail stores have either websites or phone numbers on there merchandise so you can call to find out more about their covers, but if you are there in the store that won't be much help at that moment. So, there you are stuck with a decision as to what to do, take a chance and choose one that may or may not work for your vehicle. Then there is the Internet, the one and only place you can find everything you need to know about vehicle covers of all kinds.

If for some reason you don't see what you are looking for just type a question in the search box and hit enter, this will direct you to more information on the subject about you are looking for.

Sports Schedules
The middle school sports program is structured so that all students may participate if they choose. The emphasis of the program is on participation, citizenship, skill & development and sportsmanship. Unlike a high school sports program, there are no official league standings or champions, and no letter awards given. The sports program is currently divided into four seasons. Each season is divided into two parts. The first part of the season includes training, conditioning and intramurals while the second is for the interschool competition. A "traveling team" will be selected for the interschool competition.
