Roche back in the Vuelta a Espana lead after six years
Irishman says hoping to defend jersey for 'longer than last time'
Six years after he took the Vuelta a España lead for a day, Nicolas Roche (Team Sunweb) is wearing la Roja, again after "giving it a shot", as he put it, by getting in the winning break of the day, and ending up by hitting the GC bullseye.
The Irishman made it into an elite escape group on an exceptionally aggressive ascent of a second-category Puig Llorença late on stage 2, then place second on the line just behind winner Nairo Quintana (Movistar).
That performance was enough to put Roche in a Grand Tour lead six years after moving into the top spot of the Vuelta at the southern Spanish summit of Peñas Blancas on stage 8 of the 2013 edition.
Previously fifth in this year's overall standings thanks to Sunweb's excellent team time trial on Saturday, where his squad placed fourth, Roche described himself as "speechless" when he was told that he had ousted Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) from the race lead.
The Irishman needed only five seconds on Lopez but came away with 33 instead. Roche said he had fought his best to make it into the winning break, and then, as he put it, "I decided to give it a shot and see what would happen."
"It was definitely a crazy, aggressive final," Roche, who now leads Quintana by a slender two seconds, said afterwards. "At the start this morning, some riders thought we might get a reduced bunch sprint, but it was very intense and the pace in those kilometres before the climb was very high."
"I paced myself on the climb because I wasn't feeling very comfortable, but I knew there might be a chance to anticipate and I got into the break."
Roche said his main role was to work for teammate Wilco Kelderman but also to keep an eye on the late moves. "Some friends texted me saying that you never know what happens, to keep that in mind, but I wasn't that optimistic. I never really thought about the lead till the finish, but then I thought I might have a chance."
"It was a long time, though, before they [the organisers] confirmed that I was in the leader's jersey ahead of Nairo, when they did I was so happy I was speechless."
Long-term, there is currently no indication that Kelderman will now be dislodged from his GC leader's role in Sunweb. Kelderman finished in the group of 13 chasers at 37 seconds and is currently lying seventh, 38 seconds back, meaning he is definitely still in the running.
But in what is his 22nd Grand Tour, it'd be fair to say Roche has always shone the brightest in the Vuelta a España and this year is clearly no exception.
In 2017 he was part of BMC's winning team in the opening TTT, he has twice won stages here, in 2013 when he finished fifth overall and again in 2015. Even as far back as 2008, when with Credit Agricole as a second-year pro, Roche was narrowly defeated in a two-up sprint against Imanol Erviti (Movistar).
As for how wearing this jersey compares with his experience in 2013, Roche said he had had opposite aims back then, given he won a stage early on - the second day, a summit finish in Galicia - but missed out on the leader's jersey, only taking it six days later. This time, when he wanted the stage win, he got the lead instead.
As for how long he might be able to keep it, Roche said, "we'll see what happens with Nairo in the bonus sprints, how he's looking at things. But I'd certainly want to keep it longer than last time!"

The stage is set for a pivotal NFC West matchup as the San Francisco 49ers will travel to the desert to take on the first-place Arizona Cardinals — who are the lone remaining unbeaten team in the league heading into Week 5.
If recent matchups are any indication, this game should go down to the wire, as each of the last four meetings between these teams has been one-score games in the final minute of regulation. I'm going to give a few statistics/sets of numbers that set the stage for this game.
44 Pressures
This is the number of pressures registered this season by the pass-rushing trio of Chandler Jones, JJ Watt, and Markus Golden. With rookie Trey Lance slated to start his first NFL game on Sunday, the 49ers' first priority must be finding a way to keep him upright and limit the number of times he is forced to make throws with pressure in his face. Expect a lot of play calls designed to get Lance out of the pocket and on the move to combat this.
463 yards
This is the number of combined receiving yards between George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, Mohamed Sanu, and Brandon Aiyuk. Each player ranks 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th respectively among the 49ers leaders in receiving yards this year.
Deebo Samuel has 490 yards on his own. However, the 49ers' offense needs to have a secondary playmaker step up and compliment the dominant start Samuel has put together thus far.
This is Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's passer rating (which is perfect) on throws deep to the right 20+ yards downfield. Murray is playing at an MVP level this season, and it is unrealistic to expect the 49ers defense to outright shut him down, but there has to be a focus on limiting big plays deep down the right side of the field where Murray has found a tremendous amount of success so far.
Murray has been excellent on all throws beyond 20 yards this season as he's 14-22. The Niners must keep everything in front of them to win on Sunday.
5.4 yards per carry
This is the number of yards the Cardinals defense has ceded on rushing attempts so far this season, which is the second-worst in the league. After an abysmal start to the season for the 49ers ground game, they rebounded well last week against Seattle and will look to continue to build on that success against Arizona's 31st ranked run defense. Regardless of who starts at quarterback for the 49ers, if they aren't able to exploit this mismatch and run the football effectively, their chances of winning this game become very slim.
4.75 points
That is the average margin of victory in the last four meetings between these teams (this number excludes a fluke touchdown by the 49ers defense on a last-ditch lateral play by Arizona in 2019 when they trailed by 4 points). Since Kliff Kingsbury took over as head coach prior to the 2019 season, the Cardinals have played the 49ers as tough as any team, despite their 1-3 record in that span.

I identify with this song because it reminds me of my own circumstances, and that this world is not my home.
In 1987 I left my home town of Christchurch, to move to Wellington for better work opportunities.
When I arrived, I felt a bit like a fish out of water: the weather was worse, the pace of life was much faster, and the people were not as friendly.
Inside I knew I had to make a go of it, but there was always that niggle to throw in the towel and go back home.
But Christchurch changed. The people I used to mix with, well most had moved on with their lives as well. More so now that the 2010/11 earthquakes have levelled the CBD, and changed the entire landscape – when I visit, I can't get my bearings anymore because the iconic landmarks I used to find my way around, have gone.
Everything had changed.
Borrowing from the song, I was lost between two shores – Wellington is fine, but it ain't home, Christchurch is home, but it ain't mine no more.
But then I remember that, as a Christian, regardless of where I live, none of this world is my home.
Going back to the past is pointless, because it can never be as I remember it.
And moving on to potentially something better is just as pointless, because I'll just start pining for what I have now.
So, I just wait.
I wait for Christ to return.
I wait to see Him burst through the clouds, or knit together my separated bones from my rotten carcass in the grave – to carry me away to the place he has prepared for me in advance.
A place where I will be content for all eternity: a place I can truly call "home".
Until then, I will never be completely satisfied with this world.
…and that's OK by me.
Lyrics (courtesy lyricsfreak.com):
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Poetry Ireland has just announced details of Poetry Town, a new all-island initiative, which will see more than a hundred free poetry-related activities take place in 20 towns across the island of Ireland between 10 and 18 September 2021.
As part of the initiative, Poetry Ireland, together with its local authority partners, will appoint a Poet Laureate for each participating town. The chosen Poet Laureates, who will either be from the respective local area or have strong connections with it, will be commissioned to write a poem honouring and reflecting their Poetry Town and its people. The Poet Laureates for each town will be announced next month.
Each poem will be revealed and presented to the people of the participating towns at a series of flagship online events, one of which will be hosted in each town, which will feature contributions from local poets, artists and musicians.
There will also be a wide variety of additional activities in the Poetry Towns. These will include a series of poetry events involving local poets; poetry workshops; public poetry displays, including 'Poetry Underfoot'; and a range of physical activities called 'Poems that Move You', which will vary from town to town. Local businesses, including cafés and chemists, will also be participating in the activities to celebrate their towns by distributing 'pocket poems' to customers. The full programme for each town will be made available on the Poetry Town website during the last week of August.
Poetry Town activities will take place in the following 20 towns:
Poetry Town is an initiative of Poetry Ireland in partnership with Local Authority Arts Offices. It is made possible with funding from the Arts Council of Ireland's Open Call funding, and is also supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
For further information, visit the Poetry Town website: https://www.poetryireland.ie

Okay, you need to explain this. What kind of power pole. I've never seen anything like it. Maybe it's a South Dakota thing? Maybe it's full of little dwarves who are running treadmills to create electricity for your city?ReplyDeleteReplies
We now have many windmills producing electricity, and these poles carry power lines moving that electricity to where it is needed.Delete
That looks incredibly strong. I've never seen one like that either!ReplyDelete
I love this angle. It makes you wonder how dangerous it was to construct.ReplyDelete
Beautiful image the building You chose well for the theme.ReplyDelete
Your blog is very nice,Thanks for sharing good blog.

A Filipina student scientist, Maria Isabel Layson, discovered that Aratiles plant can prevent type 2 Diabetes.
Recently, Layson competed at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held in Phoenix, Arizona from May 12 to 17. Report stated that "the Filipina student scientist is a student of the Iloilo National High School, listed her exceptional research on the antidiabetic properties of aratiles (scientific name Muntingia calabura Linn or the Jamaican cherry in English) as an entry to the competition".
Moreover, Layson mentioned that "Aratiles trees grow in her own backyard at home. This plant is common in various countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, and the Philippines. Her motivation is drawn from her family background that mostly suffer from Diabetes".
More specifically, in carrying out her research, the Filipina student scientist found out aratiles fruit is a source of anti-oxidants. "A practical application can be directed towards the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus through the prevention of postprandial hyperglycemia".
International prizes were bagged by Krithik Ramesh of Colorado, while Allison Jia of California and Rachel Seevers of Kentucky received the two Intel Foundation Young Scientist Awards; Shriya Reddy of Michigan took home the Craig R. Barrett Award for Innovation.
Layson imparted to the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation that "You don't join research competitions just because you want to win… You must have a goal: After this completion, I want to help this kind of population."

When it comes to network security, it's important to know how hackers hack. Armed with just a Raspberry Pi, you can track down unwanted intruders and take them down with OpenCanary, a free and open-source alternative to Thinkst Canary devices.
Thinkst Canary devices are designed to scan your network, servers and active directory files for vulnerabilities. They can run pretty high, costing around $2500 for a single device (and you have to buy two to get that deal). OpenCanary is an open-source solution that gives you all the features you need to protect your network—and it runs on the Raspberry Pi.
This project was shared by a channel on YouTube known as Another Maker. In their video, they started with a fresh installation of Ubuntu on the Pi. The OpenCanary application is easy to install. You just need to run a few terminal commands to install the software.
The best part about the setup is the notification system. You can program OpenCanary to send you email alerts the moment it detects potential threats. You can use this information to determine what IP address was used and where the potential breach took place.
If you want to recreate this project yourself, it's very easy to get started Another Maker shared details on how to install and configure OpenCanary on GitHub. You can also follow Another Maker on YouTube for more useful and fun Raspberry Pi projects.

Bench pressing is the go-to exercise for the majority of bodybuilders and many other athletes. And wrist pain can be the most problematic issue to deal with.
Not only will it limit the types of bench press exercises you can do, but when it gets painful enough, it can reduce your confidence every time you grip the bar.
Fortunately, there are a few common mistakes that lead to bench press wrist pain that require just a few corrections to your hands.
But first, let me explain some basics.
Quick Summary
- Wrist pain from benching is attributed to the position of the bar on your hands, incorrect use of fingers, angle of the wrists, and the weight loaded.
- The symptoms of wrist injuries are thump-side wrist pain, pinky-side wrist pain, pain towards the palm, or pain at the back of the wrist.
- You should avoid training when you feel pain from benching at any given time to avoid further damage.
- Stretching and strength exercises are one of the ways of improving your wrist strength.
Anatomy Of The Wrist
Thanks to some help from my physiotherapist, I have some basic details you should know about your wrists.
The first thing to note is that the wrist joint is made up of several smaller bones, which is why a fracture can become quite a serious problem.
The eight bones actually make up three main joints that all contribute to unique movement directions to allow your hands to make very precise actions.
Along with the complex combination of bones, there are multiple ligaments and discs that keep all of the bones in place and separated.
And just to make things even more complex, there are three different nerves that pass along the wrists to control different hand movements [1].
It kind of puts things into perspective as I watch my fingers type out this article
Your wrists are able to perform some pretty complex movements that include flexion, extension, and adduction.
That's what allows you to move your hand up and down at the joint, as well as slightly from side to side.
And because these joints can move in all directions, there's a higher risk of pain from the incorrect use of your hands during exercise.
Now let's look at some different indications of wrist pain.
Symptoms Of Wrist Injuries
My physiotherapist has given me some basic information on how he diagnoses clients who complain of wrist issues from bench pressing.
Don't worry; I'll leave all the technical, medical terms out and just explain what to look for.
1. Thumb-Side Wrist Pain
You might notice the pain on either the palm or the knuckle side, and it can range from a local throbbing to shooting nerve pain.
The cause of this can vary from stress fractures to arthritis in the joint at the base of the thumb [2]. Apparently, arthritis is more common than I thought, and if you feel like the pain gradually increases the more you grip a bar, then this might be something to have properly diagnosed.
2. Pinky-Side Wrist Pain
Similar to the above thumb description, you might feel pain on the palm or knuckle side.
Again, it could be down to stress fractures, but those are less common unless you've had a fall or other sudden injury.
What's more likely is some form of long-term strain, which is common with people who work with their hands or bench press a lot.
3. Pain Towards The Palm
Carpal tunnel syndrome is possibly the most common type of pain in the wrists [3]. It can be a throbbing pain or numbness that extends from the wrists into the hands and is mainly caused by one of the nerves becoming compressed.
"Anything that causes the body (specifically, the tendons and/or tenosynovium) to swell or retain water—and therefore, causes the carpal tunnel to narrow—can be linked to carpal tunnel syndrome."
- Gabrielle Kassel, Wellness Writer
Often, the discomfort can get worse when your wrists are resting.
4. Pain At The Back Of The Wrist
This type of pain in your wrists is most often down to long-term damage to the bones.
One way this can happen in normal life is if your daily work routine involves constantly lifting heavy and awkwardly shaped objects.
It's also more common in powerlifters than just doing a standard bench press exercise, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
If you regularly feel such pain, then make sure you read the following section to take a close look at how you grip the bar.
Main Reasons For Feeling Pain While Bench Pressing
My strength coach on the college rowing team spent a lot of time with me to work on lifting techniques before he allowed me to start piling on the weights. It's why I've rarely suffered from bench press wrist pain, and here's how you can achieve the same.
1. Position Of The Bar On Your Hands
When you set yourself up for a barbell bench press, the first thing you should focus on is your actual hand grip.
If you hold the bar too high towards the top of your palm, then you can end up in a starting position that causes too much wrist extension.
And when the bar is too far towards the base of your palm (sometimes called the bulldog grip), then a lot of the weight transfers towards the thumb, with both situations causing a lot of wrist pain.
Make sure the bar is below the midsection of your palm and that the wrists are only slightly extended.
2. Incorrect Use Of Fingers
I've seen this a few times with amateurs who complain of discomfort in their wrists, usually around the thumbs.
Somehow, they decide that it's a good idea to grip the bar without wrapping the thumbs around the front.
Some call it the thumbless grip; I just call it crazy.
The thumb plays an important role in securing the bar and making sure it doesn't roll off the hands.
And beyond being a safety issue, this approach doesn't fully lock your wrists, meaning that the weight isn't fully transferred to the chest muscles you're trying to target in the first place.
Basically, avoid the thumbless grip.
3. Angle Of The Wrists
This is another common mistake. People often extend their wrists too far before they even get the bar off the rack.
Some wrist extension is necessary, and the angle of the wrists will change slightly throughout the movement.
But by starting in the wrong position, you're setting yourself up for a lot of problems.
One way to overcome this is to use tight wrist wraps that hold the wrist joints in an optimum position.
4. Open Grip Position
Another common cause of wrist discomfort during a bench press is your grip width. If you place your hands too far apart, then you reduce the range of motion and the directions your wrists move.
The result of a wide grip width is added strain and a reduced transfer of weight to the pecs [4].
"Placing your hands excessively wide to mimic elite powerlifters sets you up for wrist pain. These lifters use wrist wraps to help support their joints and have trained over time to bear this position. A wide grip puts your wrists outside of your elbows, which increases the pressure on them."
- Andrea Boldt, Writer at SportsRec.com
When you're setting yourself up for bench pressing, get your grip width to slightly wider than shoulder-width.
5. Weight Load
We all watch that lifter at the gym who can bench hundreds of pounds.
But what I always tell my clients is that those guys didn't get there by training beyond their capabilities.
Instead, they pick a weight that allows them to maintain perfect technique.
So, if you've noticed a sudden increase in wrist pain, take a step back and lower the weight.
Improve your technique and slow down the movements, and you could quickly realize that this was the cause of the discomfort.
You can also try these bench press alternative exercises.
Should You Bend Your Wrists For Bench Press?
No, you shouldn't bend your wrists for bench press. However, you will still need to allow for a little extension.
Let me explain.
When people ask me about bending their wrists, they usually show me their wrists fully extended.
And that's not a safe technique.
Throughout the movement, you may notice your wrists slightly extending, and that's fine. But don't allow this to go too far.
The best way to avoid this as an amateur or a heavy powerlifter is to put on some wrist wraps while bench pressing.
Wrist wraps work great to avoid over-extension, and they promote a much better technique.

How Do You Strengthen Your Wrists For Bench Press?
You can strengthen your wrists for bench press by doing forearm curls and stretching your joints.
One thing I have found with a few clients is that their pain comes down to disproportionate muscle mass in different areas.
Your chest and shoulders might be strong enough to level up the weight plates, but if your wrists and forearms haven't caught up, then no change to grip width or technique will solve your bench press issues.
Strengthening Exercises
One of the best ways I have found to improve wrist strength is to do forearm curls.
Sit down on a bench with your forearm resting on your thigh. While holding a dumbbell with your palms facing up, curl your wrist up and down to build up more strength in your lower arms and wrists.
Then switch the technique to having your palms facing down.
Improving your range of motion is another great way to build up more strength in your wrist.
There are several ways to stretch the joint, and the simplest way is to stretch out one arm straight in front of you and the palm facing down.
With the other hand, pull the fingertips towards you and extend your joint. Then switch to the position of the palm facing up to flex the joint.
Should You Work Out With Wrist Pain?
No, you shouldn't work out with wrist pain, or at least try to avoid any exercise that puts a lot of strain on the wrists. You should also consider using wrist wraps to avoid pain in the area.
Should You Try the Bulldog Grip for Wrist Pain?
Yes, you should try the bulldog grip for wrist pain. But I'd suggest trying the bulldog grip for a few sets with a light load so that you get used to the difference in balance across your palms.
Do Wrist Straps and Grips Help With Wrist Pain?
Yes, wrist straps and grips help with wrist pain, especially if the pain is due to a wrong angle on the joint.
That's why many powerlifters rely on wrist wraps to ensure they keep an ideal angle.
Should You Switch to Dumbbells if Your Wrists Hurt?
Yes, you should switch to dumbbells if your wrists hurt, but I'd suggest fixing your technique and using wrist wraps first.
The dumbbell bench press will give you an entirely different range of motion, which might not target the same muscles.
What's Causing Your Wrist Pain When Benching?
Bench pressing is a lot more about proper technique than most people realize.
The above guide should help you identify some common mistakes, but you should make sure you ask a friend or fitness coach to check your form.
Don't just head for crazy ideas like a thumbless grip or other suggestions you hear in a locker room.
Get it right, and then practice on a light bar; you'll be surprised how quickly you can solve your wrist issues.

Over 100 Billionaires Are Descending on Davos Next Week
Richest 119 attendees have $500 billion of combined net worth.
(Bloomberg) -- As the gulf between the rich and everyone else continues to grow, at least 119 billionaires are converging on Switzerland next week to join bankers, politicians and other grandees for their annual pilgrimage to the Alps.
The elite group, worth about $500 billion, includes regulars like Bridgewater Associates LP founder Ray Dalio, Blackstone Group Inc. Chairman Steve Schwarzman and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon. They appear on a guest list of more than 2,000 names, representing roughly 100 countries, for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos.
The event retains its enduring status as the premier networking hub for the world's wealthiest -- with its attendant flock of private jets and $43 hot dogs -- even as it faces increasing criticism for its exclusivity.
"I've been going since 1979," said India's Rahul Bajaj, who will be making his 40th appearance at the event. "It's grown a great deal since then but I continue to get a lot out of the meetings, the sessions, the surroundings."
It's no surprise he feels at home. He should be joined in Davos by at least 18 other Indian billionaires with a combined net worth of about $100 billion and business interests that include technology companies, steel mills and motorbike makers. Six are members of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world's 500 richest people.
For some, the gilded guest list seems at odds with the event's focus on creating fairer economies and remaking the world of work. This year's theme is "Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World," and panels include "Balancing Domestic and Global Inequality" and "Breaking Legal Barriers to Equality." Last year, a panelist caused a sensation when he slammed attendees for ignoring tax avoidance by the rich.
"I hear people talking the language of participation, justice, equality and transparency but almost no one raises the real issue of tax avoidance," Rutger Bregman, a Dutch historian, said at a talk on inequality.
Such attention hasn't dampened the meeting's widespread allure among the super-rich. Billionaires slated to attend hail from at least 36 countries with shipping tycoons from Greece set to mingle with Thai industrialists and Peruvian retailers.
India's contingent of 10-figure attendees is second only to the U.S., which has 33 heading to Davos, according to a Bloomberg analysis of a participant list. Russian tycoons are the third-best represented.
"The World Economic Forum in Davos is the only place of its kind where you can simultaneously meet heads of state, captains of global business and public opinion leaders," Russian mining magnate Alisher Usmanov, an occasional attendee, said in an email. "It is noteworthy that the forum has remained like this for half a century. This is a unique melting pot of ideas and opportunities."
Outside of the official participant list, there are always plenty of unofficial attendees and a long tradition of globetrotters jetting in under the radar. A longstanding quip at the ski resort is that the most important meetings are the ones you don't know about.
This year's guest list dwarfs the single page that contained the names of 25 people from 12 countries for the forum's gathering in 1976. By 2010, billionaire participants alone accounted for four times that number.
Despite, or because of, this expansion, the meeting has become less appealing for some. With wealth inequality now an explosive political issue -- the richest 0.1% of Americans control more wealth than at any time since 1929 -- attending the gathering can sometimes even blemish your reputation. Last year, Starbucks Corp.'s Howard Schultz was twice interrupted by hecklers at a Manhattan event a day after saying in a TV interview that he was seriously considering a run for the White House.
One of the antagonists told Schultz to "go back to Davos."

Reality TV chef Marcel Vigneron credited the Streamliner Diner for sparking his interest in cooking.
Here's a bit from an interview LA Weekly did with him:
"What happened was that I was going to high school, and my parents were like [in old folks accent], You need to go out and get a job and start making some money. So I was like, Okay. And I started working at a little diner, it was called Streamliner Diner on Bainbridge as a dishwasher. And realized that dishwashing was kind of like grunt work and it wasn't really for me. And I saw these prep cooks working with like vegetables and stuff and I was like, Oooh, that looks like a glamour job."
Vigneron was on season two of Top Chef, a reality TV competition show that airs on the cable network Bravo.
He's now a chef at Bar210, "a posh lounge" near the Beverly Hills Hillton, according to the Weekly.

This is an inherited syndrome of malformations recently reported in a small number of families.
The skull is mildly shortened from front to back. The midface is flat and the mandible (lower jaw) is often prominent. The eyes are widely-spaced and often appear 'bulging' or prominent. The eyebrows are unusually bushy and the upper eyelids may have a notch. Glaucoma and cataracts as well as some deformation of the corneas (windshield of the eye) have been reported in a few individuals. The openings between the lids slant downward.
The teeth may be small, abnormally formed, and are often lost early. Imaging may reveal cysts around the roots of the teeth and the enamel is not formed normally. Partial fusion of parts of the vertebrae is sometimes noted. Some intellectual disability is a common feature which is more evident in older individuals. Hearing loss is common. There may be some mild clefting of the palate. The sternum is sometimes unusually prominent but in other patients appears depressed.
The urethral opening is abnormally placed in most males. Undescended testes have been reported as well.
A change in the DNA (mutation) of both members of a specific pair of genes is the cause of this disorder. Most parents are related to each other and no parent-to-child transmission has been reported. The most likely pattern of transmission is considered to be autosomal recessive. The carrier parents with one mutated gene are clinically normal but the offspring of two such parents each have a 25% risk of having this condition.
The nondiagnostic nature of most signs makes it unlikely that this disorder is immediately recognizable at birth. A team of pediatricians, dentists, radiologists, and medical geneticists are likely to collaboratively make the diagnosis.
Little is known regarding the natural history of this condition. No treatment is available for the general condition but the eyelids and the oral clefts may be surgically repaired. Special education and assistive hearing devices could be helpful.
Nothing is known regarding longevity.

Flaccid paralysis is a condition that occurs when the facial muscles weaken due to injury or damage to the facial nerve or muscles. Those affected by this condition lose all movement in the face, making flaccid paralysis a very difficult situation to live with. Common symptoms of flaccid paralysis are:
- reduced muscle tone (from the inability to move and strengthen the facial muscles)
- inability to contract the muscles
- inability to close the eye or lift the corner of the mouth
- inability to generate eyebrow elevation
- inability to smile
- speech impairment
- difficulty eating or drinking
Flaccid paralysis can be caused by a number of circumstances, including congenital facial nerve disorders, trauma, Bell's palsy, stroke, autoimmune disease, and surgical causes. Depending on the cause of a specific onset of flaccid paralysis, some patients are able to make a full recovery.
Dr. Teresa O at New York Facial Paralysis is a world-renowned doctor who has spent the better part of her career treating patients with highly specialized conditions. As a facial plastic surgeon who has been trained in facial nerve paralysis and reanimation, Dr. O offers cutting edge treatments to patients with facial nerve paralysis. Dr. O will evaluate the entire face, and the diagnosis of flaccid paralysis will be based on the symptoms and underlying causes of the condition. Once an accurate diagnosis is achieved, Dr. O and the entire New York Facial Paralysis staff will treat the patient as an individual case. There is no "one-sized approach" when it comes to treating those who suffer from flaccid paralysis.
Treatment for flaccid paralysis can be medical, surgical, or a combination of both. Physical therapy is also essential in any case of flaccid paralysis to help patients regain movement and function of their facial attributes. Depending on the patient's history, Dr. Teresa O may prescribe other medical treatments.

After a big NFC matchup on Thursday night last week, the team with the best record in the AFC plays early in week seven as the Kansas City Chiefs take the field on short rest. This week's game is a divisional contest, pitting the Chiefs against Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders.
Following an impressive 2016 season, the Raiders have tailed off so far this year and are tied at the bottom of the AFC West, scoring fewer than 20 points in each of the last four games — all losses. Carr has missed some time with an injury, while Marshawn Lynch has hardly been the savior on the field that Raiders fans were hoping for. In fact, Lynch is averaging just 43 rushing yards per game and is under four yards per carry, a far cry from the numbers he put up in his heyday in Seattle.
Meanwhile, the Raiders' receiving corps has disappointed, with Amari Cooper in particular failing to live up to the hype. He has caught fewer than 50% of his targets so far in 2017, and is averaging just 8.1 yards per reception.
Can Oakland break out of its offensive slump against a strong Chiefs defense? Tune in tonight to find out.

Our Planning Process
Taking a Step Toward Peace of Mind
Peace Of Mind Is Here
We know that beginning your estate plan is a big step.
Our process is designed to ensure your confidence in the planning process each step of the way, and our planning process is the perfect combination of efficiency and warmth.
Every decision is carefully reviewed with you and yet the entire process stretches out only eight weeks. You can feel confident knowing that within two months of meeting with us, your family could be totally planned for, protected and not at risk of being stuck in court or conflict if something happens to you.
Your Initial Meeting: The Family Wealth Planning Session
Our planning process begins with your Family Wealth Planning Session.
This is your opportunity to get educated, informed, and fully empowered to make the right decisions for the people you love. And together we have the opportunity to meet each other and ensure that working together is a good fit.
During your Family Wealth Planning Session, we will walk you through exactly what your loved ones would have to do and where your assets would go if something happened to you today.
You will then be able to determine if there was anything about what would happen today that you would not like and you will get clear on what you would want to happen instead.
Family Law
Collaborative Divorce
Estate Planning
If We Are A Good Fit…
Assuming there is a good fit between you and us, we will help you to choose the planning level and fee that is right for your family.
We have three different planning levels to accommodate your needs and YOU get to decide which planning level best protects you and your family.
Once you choose your planning level, we will then help you design a plan that will give you the peace of mind of knowing your family will be taken care of in the event the unthinkable happens.
Once your plan has been designed to your satisfaction, you will return to our office about a month later to sign your newly prepared estate plan. At this point, your family and your assets will be totally protected in the case of your death or incapacity.
In Most Law Firms, The Relationship Ends There
We see the signing of your estate plan as the beginning of our relationship with your family. This is where our law firm is very different.
After you sign your estate plan, we don't simply send you on your way and wish you luck for the future.
Instead, we create an electronic record of all of your legal documents so you can easily access them anytime you need to in the future and then schedule our next meeting with you.
At this final meeting, one of the most important meetings of our process, we help you:
- Ensure your assets are owned in the right way (you can have the best set of legal documents, but if your assets are not owned in the right way, it has all been a waste).
- Make sure everyone you have named to take care of you, your children, and the money you are leaving behind knows just what to do if and when something happens.
- Capture and plan for your intangible and most valuable assets: your values, insights, stories, and experiences that neither you nor your loved ones would ever want to lose.
Then, We Still Aren't Done!
We meet with you at least every three years to review your plan and make sure it stays up to date.
We do this because we know, and we have seen it many times in our industry, that if regular reviews of your estate plan are not happening, then your set of documents is very unlikely to work when your family needs them.
And if you choose to join our Family Wealth VIP Client Membership Program, we will meet together annually for a comprehensive plan review and update.

Even though their uniforms have a cool jet logo that resembles an F/A-18 made here in St. Louis (technically, the Canadian Forces flies CF-18s), make no mistake, the Blues are playing the Atlanta Thrashers today.
Oh sure, the game is in Manitoba in the largest city with the coldest temperature in North America. And they'll call them the Jets, but these are the Thrashers that were perennial disappointments making the playoffs just once in team history, that one season they traded for Keith Tkachuk. That's why it's easy to say that the Jets are not a terribly good team despite leading the Southeastern Division (the only thing Winnipeg is Southeast of is Alaska and the Yukon Territories).
Because the rest of the division is a bunch of screw-ups, the Jets' 67 points are good enough for first place. Their record of 30-26-7 illustrates that they're a mediocre team. They've allowed more goals than they've scored this year. Take away four shootout wins and they've won as many games as they've lost in regulation.
Don't know the starting goaltender for St. Louis. The way Halak played Thursday in Nashville, I'd say he gets the nod, but you never know. I think Chris Mason is still with the Jets. Oh sure, they sold their season tickets and single game tickets in a matter of minutes and those crazy Canadians (not to be fused with the Canadiens) love their hockey, but the way the league has allowed the Phoenix situation to flounder and how quickly the sale of the Thrashers to Winnipeg investors was made, I don't approve of how it went down. Period. So good for Winnipeg. I hope your team doesn't make the playoffs. To be fair, I only want one team in the playoffs, so don't feel special, Peggers.
This is your game day thread. Comment like every joke will remind us how much we don't want to live in Winnipeg.

The late Mr. S. D. Mugweh Sr: Sunrise 11/11/1932 - Sunset 12/19/2021

And looking back I must confess
I've little cause to feel elate.
I've played the mummer more or less;
I fumbled fortune, flouted fate.
I've vastly dreamed and little done;
I've idly watched my brothers strive:
Oh, I have loitered in the sun
By primrose paths to Thirty-five!
And those who matched me in the race,
Well, some are out and trampled down;
The others jog with sober pace;
Yet one wins delicate renown.
O midnight feast and famished dawn!
O gay, hard life, with hope alive!
O golden youth, forever gone,
How sweet you seem at Thirty-five!
Each of our lives is just a book
As absolute as Holy Writ;
We humbly read, and may not look
Ahead, nor change one word of it.
And here are joys and here are pains;
And here we fail and here we thrive;
O wondrous volume! what remains
When we reach chapter Thirty-five?
The very best, I dare to hope,
Ere Fate writes Finis to the tome;
A wiser head, a wider scope,
And for the gipsy heart, a home;
A songful home, with loved ones near,
With joy, with sunshine all alive:
Watch me grow younger every year --
Old Age! thy name is Thirty-five!

The Vineyard Wind project is getting delayed — again
"Commercial operation in 2022 is no longer expected."
The planned offshore wind farm south of Martha's Vineyard has hit yet another setback.
After receiving notice that federal officials won't decide on a key permit until more than 16 months later than expected, Vineyard Wind CEO Lars Pedersen says the project — originally slated to be operational next year — isn't expected to produce power until sometime beyond 2022.
"We have received updated information from the Department of Interior that indicates the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Vineyard Wind I project will be published later than what was previously anticipated," Pederson said in a statement Tuesday.
"While we need to analyze what a longer permitting timeline will mean for beginning construction, commercial operation in 2022 is no longer expected,' he said. "We look forward to the clarity that will come with a final EIS so that Vineyard Wind can deliver this project to Massachusetts and kick off the new US offshore energy industry."
The Department of Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management was originally scheduled to issue an environmental impact statement for the $2.8 billion project last August, but abruptly announced it would delay the decision in order to do "a more robust" analysis of the project. According to reports at the time, the delay was due to disagreements within President Donald Trump's administration over whether the project did enough to mitigate its effects on the local fishing industry.
The BOEM published an updated permitting timeline Tuesday, which set a Dec. 18, 2020 deadline for Vineyard Wind's environmental impact statement.
Vineyard Wind had hoped to begin construction last year on the 84-turbine project, which would be the first major offshore wind farm in the United States. Planned roughly 15 miles off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, the project has been in the works since 2011 and is a crucial part of the state's long-term clean energy goals.
The previous delay was met with criticism from elected officials in Massachusetts, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who criticized the Trump administration for slow-walking the project.
Last week, a majority of the Massachusetts congressional delegation questioned whether the Trump administration has been "employing a double standard for environmental analysis that favors the fossil fuel industry." Rep. Bill Keating, who represents the Cape and Islands, blasted the decision Tuesday, attributing the new delay to political pressure from higher-ups in the Trump administration.
"It's clear to me that these are political decisions and not guided by wanting to mitigate environmental impacts," Keating told the Vineyard Gazette in an interview Tuesday. "This is infuriating because of the contradictions. It doesn't even pass the red face test."
However, Gov. Charlie Baker's administration took a less oppositional stance, attributing the pattern of delays to the expansion of the wind energy sector that has taken place since Vineyard Wind project was originally conceived.
"I think the federal government is just trying to make their environmental review consistent with the scale of offshore wind that is now developing off our coast and making sure it's being done in a responsible way that addresses all users of the ocean resource," Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Katie Theoharides told reporters Tuesday, according to the State House News Service.

My Photos from the Eclipse
I drove up to Wyoming last month to photograph the eclipse. It was my first totality. Very cool.
Don't Miss the Solar Eclipse! (Unless You Are Ill, or Trapped in a Dungeon)
C'mon. This is the first time in almost a century that a total eclipse will traverse the fruited plains from coast to coast.
Solar Eclipses Still Inspire Science

Extending his series of experimental works for solo double bass, NYC-based Nat Baldwin's 3rd "AUTONOMIA" release merges new music with noise in concentrated approaches through positioning the bass in unusual orientations to access the strings from below; using multiple bows, one prepared and one in agressive motion; and exploring the high harmonic range of the instrument.

Sample The Album:
Descriptions, Reviews, &c.
"Nat Baldwin's AUTONOMIA III: Endnotes extends his series of experimental works for solo double bass, marking his third and final release of 2020. Its precursors include AUTONOMIA I: Body Without Organs (Shinkoyo) and AUTONOMIA II: Recombinations (Traced Objects). Endnotes embraces perhaps an even more extreme form of reductionism than the previous works. Like its predecessors, however, even when engaging the highly concentrated approaches associated with noise and new music, the expressivity and energy generated through the spirit of free improvisation remains a powerful presence.
The album opens with "polarities", featuring the bass lying flat on its back, a strategy that provided the closing tracks on the previous two albums. The metal peg at the bottom of the bass, used to adjust its height, acts as the primary sonic source by removing it to attack the two wires and its surroundings below the body, as well as the strings below the bridge, creating a polyphony of overlapping textures.
Bringing the bass back to its upright stance, the next track, "hydra", emphasizes repetition and velocity through aggressive circular bowing techniques aided by an additional bow jammed between the strings and fingerboard. The position of the prepared bow stays the same for the title track "endnotes", but the right hand shifts to microscopic spiccato bursts and hushed percussive gestures.
The album closes with "currents", celebrating the high harmonic range of the double bass with a patient arch of expanding dynamics and density, its peak providing the proper climax to an explosive body of work produced by Baldwin over the past year."-TripTicksTapes

Sure, I was there. I mothered them, together perusing the overflowing school supply bins at the store, hushed their fears with soothing words and lunch dates here and there. I was there to buoy them up and write those initials of their talents on their fingertips when they needed it and help with their homework. But I certainly took for granted all that they navigated on their own.
Lucy had the whole schedule memorized in a matter of a half and hour and could lead us around with a hop in her step and a confident smile.
Oh how comforting that was!
We went back the next day so that Lucy could show Claire around, and Claire could give her any extra junior high tips. Lucy didn't even look at her schedule. She knew she went from hallway G to A to F and back and she was just as confident as could be.
Sorry but we have to look at that smile a little closer too:
br />
We were overjoyed as she spilled out all the grand details all the way home.
And got this greeting when we arrived:

Hi Guys,
My name is Keith and I am a Sergeant in the British Army. I own a small game studio called AppChogie Games. I have been developing games for PC/MAC and mobile for 20 years.
I have recently came across C2 and absolutely love it. I have decided to build a game called Undead Fred that I first started on iOS but never finished due to deployment to Afghanistan. I have all the assets so it seemed a good place to go start, I have been using C2 for two days now and already I have the game about 20% completed. (I will post a video etc soon)
I have decided to set up Undead Fred for touch, keyboard and XBOX 360 controller. All work perfect with regards to keyboard and touch, but when I try to map the XBOX controller X button to a animation change it dosent work. I have mapped analogue left / right and A button using the "simulate platform" feature and they work perfect.
Any ideas? I have been looking in the manual, forum and internet. The code seems logical but it does not work. At best I have made the X button start the 1st frame of the attack animation.
Lastly I have tried the XBOX controller test site that another user created and it all works perfect.
Thanks for any help
I still cant find away of getting the other buttons (X, Y, B) mapped correctly apart from the "Simulated" L/R and A.
I have played other people's games on the Arcade that have it working?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thank you
I have updated to the new beta build this morning.
So after alot of trial and error trying different ways to trick the buttons, I made a diagnostic live event sheet for the XBOX 360 wired controller. This enabled me to see if in fact the gamepad buttons were accepting the button presses even tho nothing is happening on screen.
The short answer is YES they are working, so that in mind I tried the normal code again.
Gamepad: Gamepad 0 Button X is down: Fred : Set Animation to "FredStrike" (Play from begining)
With this method the gamepad reacts on the X button however only plays the 1st frame of animation again?
Has anyone got a working file that could help me with this. I have emailed the C2 devs and hope this is an error as it is driving me mad!
Just a shot in the dark here, but maybe if instead of using 'X button is down', could you use 'On X button pressed'?
dpyellow thanks for the reply. I have tried that mate with no luck.
Try this. If it doesn't work for you then it's an issue with your controller. If it does then clone it to work with your sprites.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this for me, however your example is the way I originally coded it.
Your example does work with my gamepad, but for some reason not in my game?
It is due to the restriction of triggers on the free edition. With keyboard, touch and joypad I am using too many. If I disable some other it works.
The fix is for me to purchase a licence! lol
Thanks for all the help.
Most likely some of your settings in construct 2 are incorrect. Can you post a capx?
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Burvey please message me your email and ill send you the file via dropbox. I don't really want everyone having it.
Sounds like you figured out the issue. :)
Does that sound like something that the free edition could limit? I read that it only allows 100 events.
I really don't know. It's possible.

The Bungalow
$ 840.00
This product is currently sold out.
Immersed in collector Brad Feuerhelm's vernacular photo collection, artist Anouk Kruithof moved into a bungalow where she developed a niche relationship with the photos and transformed the image archive. She visualizes scenarios in which images, through the imaginary space of our conception, and parallel to digitization, leap across the tooth of time. The personal image relations, all but magically approached and released, offer new perspectives, to relate us, one-to-one with the image, to the present post-digital image economy in which our image memory moves. Furthermore, the technical angles give insight into the way we can process our image memory.
