MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say two men have been killed and three others injured in a shooting near the campus of Alabama State University.

The PokerStars Player's Championships is back from August 20th-24th in sunny Barcelona. Winning your seat at this prestigious event has never been easier or cheaper with the Mega Path Step program.
The journey looks like this:
Step 1 – Win a Stars Coin or Chest Reward Spin & Go and get a Step 2 ticket.
Step 2 – A $2 buy-in 27-player three-handed turbo Shootout with a top prize of entry into Step 3.
Step 3 – A $50 turbo deep MTT that runs on Sundays and offers a guaranteed 15 tickets to Step 4.
Step 4 – A $1,000 regular MTT qualifier to win your Platinum Pass to the PSPC.
Here are some strategic tips to help you battle your way through each step of the process.
Step 1 – Spin & Go
You can get yourself on the road to glory either by finding one of these tickets in a rewards chest or by purchasing one with your Stars Coins. Once you've got one though, how should you approach a Spin & Go?
Spin & Gos are all about small button raises, wide blind defence, and shallow-stacked post-flop play.
For players who are used to playing deeper than the starting 25BB stack of the Spin & Go, it's crucial to adjust your ranges when it comes to hands strong enough to stack off with.
For example, top pair in a single raised pot becomes an extremely strong hand, with which it is often mandatory to raise a continuation bet and get your stack in.
The blinds ramp up very quickly in these events so make sure that you stay alive by opening a wide range.
Since stacks are short, players will be open-raising smaller, which boosts your pot odds in the big blind.
Defending the big blind wide and learning how to deal with continuation bets is a vital skill to master. The successful Spin & Go player must be comfortable calling some dubious looking hands pre-flop when in the big blind.
Step 2 – $2 Hyper Turbo 3x Shootout
The structure of these events is fast and frantic. There is absolutely no time to hang around as beating 26 other players is the only way to progress to Step 3.
In the early stages, stealing blinds to survive is key as each player only begins with 10 big blinds. Shove a wide range on the button and small blind and be prepared to call off aggressively against players who are aware of the urgency to invest.
An early double up is key to success so do not be afraid to take risks.
Against passive opponents, it might also be possible to develop a limping range. The benefit of this is striking a compromise between making a very large risky shove and having to min-raise and then fold, which is very undesirable.
To score your ticket to Step 3, you are going to need to amass a lot of chips early on so do not be afraid to gamble. Playing a survival strategy in these events is a surefire way to bust empty-handed.
When stacks start to get a bit deeper due to the first 10-15 players being eliminated you might have room for a little more post-flop action and could consider developing a min-raising strategy pre-flop provided that the effective stack is more than 14-15 big blinds.
Step 3 – $50 Turbo Deep Satellite
This is an event with far more play.
Your knowledge of deep-stacked play is going to come in handy. Players who are well-versed in cash games will prosper here as the 100BB+ play there is very good preparation for this stage of the journey.
Early on, look to get involved with some strong implied odds hands such as 22-66 and good suited connectors. The chance to win big pots for a cheap investment before the blinds have shot up is well worth pursuing.
Position also goes up in importance with stacks being deeper. Be sure to play a wider range from late position and be prepared to call more three-bets than normal in position with hands that play well with deeper stacks. So that's suited broadways, suited aces, and connectors.
An example of a hand that goes down in value when stacks get deeper would be AQo.
This hand can normally defend vs. three-bets if the three-bettor is not too tight, but when stacks get deeper, you might want to swap this sort of holding out for something with a bit more nut making potential.
Winning is not a concept that makes sense in a satellite – instead, surviving is the key.
It is true that you need to accumulate enough chips to last the distance, but once you approach the last 15 players where the Step 4 tickets reside, it's time to enter super-tight mode as long as you have enough chips to outlast the others.
If you're short-stacked, however, then you'll need to take risks in order to stay healthy.
With a massive stack on the bubble, it is correct to fold AA pre-flop, for example, when 3-betting or 4-betting risks a huge proportion of your chips. With a short stack, it might be correct to shove 99 in the very same spot.
The ability to outlast is everything in a satellite so do not jeopardise your huge stack for the sake of accumulating extra chips that you do not need.
Step 4 – $1,000 Qualifier to the PSPC
This event has a regular structure and stack-size that most players will be familiar with.
There will be a lot of nerves in this tournament as players have come so far and so much is now at stake. This is something you can use to your advantage.
In events with scared fields, it becomes more correct to steal and three-bet lighter pre-flop, in order to accumulate chips and to run bigger bluffs than normal.
These plays might feel dicey given your own anxiety about busting, but you will need to beat a large field size to get a ticket. You simply must be the aggressive one, no matter how risky that might feel.
Like Step 3, this tournament is also a satellite and there may be multiple tickets up for grabs depending on field size. One seat is awarded per $30,000 in the prize pool.
Again, the goal here is to assess your ability to make it into the top places.
Nearing the bubble, again the goal is to take necessary risks with a short stack.
With the medium stack, you should only take the most favourable risks and look to build your stack by stealing from those who cannot afford to defend their blinds with frequent cheap stealing.
With the big stack, you should stay out of harm's way but use frequent aggression to bully the medium stacks who have far more to lose by playing a sizeable pot.
Being the big stack does not entail going into your shell but rather, using your leverage to increase your chips in a slow and steady way instead of taking major risks against those who can hurt you.
The successful qualifiers will no doubt be versatile players, capable of adjusting their game to suit the ever-changing situation of the Mega Path.
Good luck on your quest!

Nicole Dennis-Benn
Summer Salons: The Good Immigrant
Tuesday, June 18
6 p.m.
Grand Park, performance lawn
200 North Grand Ave.
Los Angeles
(between Grand Ave. and Hill Streets)
Author Nicole Dennis-Benn got the kind of media attention and interest with her 2016 novel "Here Comes the Sun," most first-time authors can only dream of — she won a Lambda Literary Award, was a finalist for several other literary prizes, got reviewed in the New York Times (which named it one of its "notable books of the year") and other high-profile outlets.
Her sophomore effort "Patsy" was released last week and is already generating buzz with more media love from the Times, Oprah's magazine, NPR and more. "Patsy" is the story of the title character, an undocumented Jamaican queer immigrant in New York and the daughter she left behind, Tru. Going back and forth between Brooklyn and Jamaica, Dennis-Benn, herself Jamaican and a lesbian, covers her characters' lives over a decade.
The 37-year-old writer will be Scripps Presents/PEN's "Summer Salons: The Good Immigrant" event with authors Jade Chang and Dani Fernandez on Tuesday, June 18 to discuss the new anthology "The Good Immigrant: 26 Writers Reflect on America." Details at pen.org/events.
Dennis-Benn spoke to the Blade by phone on May 31. Her comments have been slightly edited for length.
WASHINGTON BLADE: Your first book got the kind of industry attention most authors only dream of. How did you manage that?
NICOLE DENNIS-BENN: When I started my debut novel, I had no idea all the work that went into getting a book out there to readers. I used to think it just appears on the bookshelf. I wasn't one of those readers in college and grad school looking at the New York Times or the Washington Post for the next book I wanted to read. So I was really shocked as a first-time writer. My agent, she worked really hard at putting my book in the eyes of publishers and also really doubled down when it came out. She said, "This is a debut novel, we have to have a big splash," so she and her team worked extra hard and I was really happy that they loved it enough to want to really invest in it. But there's really a machine behind all that publicity.
BLADE: Did you have to fight to get "Patsy" published or was it much easier after the first book was successful?
DENNIS-BENN: It was easy after that, for sure. I had some anxiety writing as a woman of color and my story is about a Jamaican woman wth a queer identity as well as an immigrant … but it's a relief to know there's a place for my books. I can't say the same for many other writers who are women of color or LGBT writers, but at the same time I'm happy that they're being published somewhere.
BLADE: How has your publisher Liveright been to work with? Any wrangling over final edit?
DENNIS-BENN: It was a good relationship and that's definitely something I was relieved about. I didn't have to fight them on anything. I used patois, a Jamaican dialect, in the dialogue and I was really happy that the editor and also the copy editors were able to work with me on maintaining that. I think it was really a good match.
BLADE: Is there some autobiography woven into the fiction?
DENNIS-BENN: I would say it's like 80 percent fiction and 20 percent autobiographical. Patsy comes to America and wants more for herself but then realizes there are issues here just like anywhere else. Unlike myself, Patsy is not educated or documented, so she immediately meets that wall, no pun intended. She actually gets trapped and she's not able to move upward financially. She has no social security at all, so of course, taking Patsy on that journey, took a lot more imagination and also talking to folks, like my father for example, who came here undocumented and has worked his way through the system before marrying an American citizen and getting his papers.
BLADE: What is your working process like? How does one begin to tackle a work of this scope?
DENNIS-BENN: I started really with writing scenes. Patsy's voice came to me first and I wrote more following that voice. I would think about it on my morning ride to Staten Island where I was teaching at the College of Staten Island and it was like I was somehow dictating in the sense that I was imagining this woman riding the subway and she's on her early morning trip to her first nanny job and really thinking about who that woman is, why did she come to this country, what did she leave behind. … That's when I started outlining and this is actually the first novel where somehow everything I wrote was against that outline.
BLADE: How did you know instinctively that was right?
DENNIS-BENN: I didn't know it was right at all. I slept on it awhile. A lot of it came from being raised as a woman in Jamaica, it's a society that tells you we ought to all want motherhood, that that's the ultimate satisfaction. Well, so what about this woman who doesn't really want that but has no choice? It took a lot of self reflection.
BLADE: How long did it take? I assume you balanced it with your teaching duties?
DENNIS-BENN: Right, exactly. Those rides on the ferry were in 2012 so really like seven years.
BLADE: How long did "Here Comes the Sun" take to write?
DENNIS-BENN: It was faster. I started it in 2010 and got my agent in 2014, so more like four years. It was quicker than "Patsy."
BLADE: How disciplined did you have to be? Were there days your wife wanted to go to the mall or everybody else was on holiday but you forced yourself to write?
DENNIS-BENN: I did it when the mood struck. I was teaching as an adjunct so it was only like two days a week. So on the other days, I stayed home and worked on my books. My wife would be getting rady for work and she leaves around 9 a.m. so that's when my writing day started and I'd write til about 4. But I didn't adhere to that every single day, every week. Sometimes ideas would come or not come. Some days the characters would just not speak, so I'd take a little time to do normal things. I feel like living life a little bit, I absorb a lot. So I take myself to the museum, I meet up with friends and somehow gather a lot of energy by stepping away from the work.
BLADE: How long have you been teaching at Princeton?
DENNIS-BENN: A year. I started fall, 2018.
BLADE: What do you teach?
DENNIS-BENN: Creative writing, fiction.
BLADE: Is Joyce Carol Oates still there?
DENNIS-BENN: YEs, but I've not met her. I only teach there one day a week. I want to, but I haven't had the chance.
BLADE: Are you familiar with her work?
DENNIS-BENN: Oh yes, definitely. There are so many people at Princeton working whose work I admire like Jhumpa Lahiri, she's also there, Tracy K. Smith and Yiyun Li. I had to work on myself not to be star struck in the department.
BLADE: How many copies did you sell of "Here Comes the Sun"?
DENNIS-BENN: Um, I'm not sure. I know it did well. I'm actually only going by what my publishers have been telling me or my agent.
BLADE: But what's considered successful for a debut hardcover novel?
DENNIS-BENN: I have no idea.
BLADE: Aren't you curious?
DENNIS-BENN: I'm curious, yeah, but I don't know. That's a good question. I think for me … as a creative person, success is actually touching readers, so when I get a note through social media or somebody tells me they saw themselves on the page, that really is success for me.
BLADE: To what degree does being a lesbian inform your work any more or less, say, than being from Jamaica, being an immigrant or other aspects that inform your work?
DENNIS-BENN: I would say the same. I feel like an outsider in many ways — my sexuality, as a black woman, as a woman, as an immigrant, a working-class Jamaican, I felt like an outsider growing up all those things. But it gives you a vision where you can look down into that world and sketch it. Having been an outsider in Jamaica and America gives me the ability to write from those perspectives.
BLADE: How long have you been in the U.S.?
DENNIS-BENN: Twenty years now, since '99. I came here for college when I was 17.
BLADE: What was your path to citizenship like?
DENNIS-BENN: My father came here undocumented, he married an American citizen and by doing that, he was able to get his naturalization. Then he was able to file for me and my siblings and we were able to come here on a green card. … I see myself as a lucky one, going to Cornell then on to graduate school. That's a luxury for many people. Many people like my father came here driving taxis to support themselves and send money back home.
BLADE: Have you encountered any racism or homophobia from publishing industry gatekeepers?
DENNIS-BENN: Again, that's a question I would need to ask my agent. She was more on the forefront of all of this. If there was, she probably absorbed it and didn't relate it to me word for word. I had people say, "Oh, we're unable to represent this book," but no real solid reason. …. I have sometimes felt like my novels are puzzle pieces that don't fit but that's how I learned to embrace them.
BLADE: Was it difficult to find an agent?
DENNIS-BENN: I got a lot of rejection letters in grad school. My first agent was not on board with the dialect and we parted ways. I just knew there was no way I could have to Jamaicans speaking to each other in standard English, it just didn't sound authentic. I knew if it was published like that, I wouldn't be happy with the product. So I went back to the drawing board and I was really crushed but I took a year to revise my first book and started sending query letters. Three agents responded and one happened to be my current agent. She said she respected me as a writer and was behind what I was doing in my work. That was a huge relief to hear that.
BLADE: What are your dreams as an author? Do you plan to keep releasing novels?
DENNIS-BENN: Yes, definitely. You can get away with so much more with fiction. I get stressed out fact checking an essay for the New York Times, so I can't imagine a 300-page memoir. I see myself continuing with fiction.
BLADE: Your piece about pregnancy in the Times was very candid. Were you wary of sharing so many personal details?
DENNIS-BENN: I never had any desire to be pregnant and it was something I always grappled with. Why do I feel this way? It was a similar feeling I had as a teenager coming out as a lesbian. Why do I feel this way? It's not normal. But it turns out it's absolutely normal and something a lot of women feel. I thought, "Wow, this is something in society we do not talk about as women." We don't have this maternal yearning, we must be bad people. That's how "Patsy" was born.
BLADE: It seems you're trying to do more than merely entertain your readers. What are your goals as a novelist?
DENNIS-BENN: I write for myself first. I write the kind of books I want to read. I never saw anybody, except Edwidge Danticat, write about immigrants and that desire to migrate somewhere for financial reasons. I was thinking about Patsy, this voluptuous nanny on the Upper West Side pushing babies around Central Park. Who is she? Mother, immigrant, religious — all those things that even myself as an author, I would have been pre-judging her but when you open a book or dissect Patsy, you see a completely different story. Here's a woman who if she could afford it, would be at MIT studying programming. These are the things I wanted to put on the page.

Toxic E-Cigarette Products Cause Deadly Respiratory Illness Outbreak and 1 Death in Illinois
As of September 5, 2019, health officials reported to The Washington Post that five people have now died of a lung illness linked to vaping with another 450 possible cases in 33 states and one territory known. E-cigarettes, which officials define as battery-operated devices that heat a liquid and deliver an aerosol product, are most commonly used to inhale nicotine but can also be used to deliver (vape) THC, CBD and certain types of oils.
According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report released on Friday, September 6, most of the patients treated thus far:

The Internet has made the bride a more educated consumer. Prior to meeting with you she has already armed herself with questions she is told to ask, has done research on your competition, and is likely to be influenced by articles she has read on wedding websites, blogs and in wedding magazines.
Unfortunately much of the information that she reads is inaccurate and skewed. Truly the best authorities on the wedding industry are wedding professionals. They have hands-on experience with the services they provide, as well as understand the real needs that brides have on the day of their wedding (rather than what brides think their needs are going to be).
Individuals that know little about weddings author many articles that are written about the wedding industry. Often the content is comprised of things they read through research and articles that are already published that they re-word or copy.
For example, for many years in national magazines, it was said that invitations should be mailed 4-6 weeks before the wedding. That information is wrong and harmful to the planning process. Guests plan things in advance and may have vacations or scheduling conflicts. The real time that is practical is 6-10 weeks. This allows brides to factor in guests that are out-of–state or country and gives guests a better chance of being able to attend the wedding. The wrongful information regarding only giving 4-6 weeks notice may have lead to the use of "Save The Date" cards that only surfaced in the last 10-15 years.
It is very important to know what you are up against and what information the bride is being fed. To best serve your wedding business, it is important for you to read what brides are reading so you can be prepared to correct the wrong information that can hurt the chances of you making a sale.
As mentioned in a previous blog entry, you can stage your own educational campaign by correcting misinformation through the use of blogging and social media. You can also become known and respected in the industry if you share all misinformation with your industry peers and even your competitors. Wrongful planning information hurts the industry and all wedding professionals should be ready and armed to correct it. If a bride goes to a competitor of yours and they are told by the competitor the same thing you told them regarding the information they read about being wrong, that validates the point you are trying to get across, increases your credibility and can lead to you making a sale, all simply by doing the right thing for your prospect.

Improving to the EX edition will take a heated entrance seating, leather-based covers, strength tailgate, an 8-inch touchscreen alternative, much more energetic basic safety systems, and so on. The SX will ride on larger rims and may include unique styling, Harman Kardon sound system, and so on. The best SXL model will receive interest with the Nappa leather seats, heated up first two series, cooled front seating, heated up the steering wheel, and so forth.
The new Sorento is a classy and attractive crossover SUV, and Kia made some alterations on model's design for the 2019 edition. The refreshed Sorento sports tweaked tiger nose grille combined with the new bumpers and redesigned headlights. The 2020 Kia Sorento will continue with the very same design as the most original and rejuvenated edition. Kia will only offer you new shade choices and tire designs. The model will provide you with 17-, 18- and 19-in. Wheel options and the full-LED front lights will be accessible as a choice or standard in upper levels.
2020 Kia Sorento Hybrid Engine
Kia made alterations in the revocation and directing program and also ditched the turbo-4 engine selection for the 2019 model year. The increased six-pace auto and a new 8-pace auto gearbox also showed up with the latest middle-up-date. The 2020 Kia Sorento will remain with the unchanged technicians. The base 2.4-litre non-turbo several-tube engine comes in combination with the 6-speed auto transmission. The engine provides 185 hp and torque 178 pound-ft. Much better performance will deliver models with the 3.3-litre V-6 engine below the hood. This engine does with the 8-pace automatic gearbox. It offers 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque. The model will tow approximately 5000 lbs. The gas economy with the base engine is going to be 25 mpg mixed or 23 miles per gallon combined with the all-time push. Much more energy with the V-6 will definitely cost several mpg, and the all-wheel-drive V-6 will come back 21 miles per gallon mixed.
Release Date and Price
The Kia Sorento 2020 will go available for sale in the newest quarter of 2019. The price will range from mid-20,000 to mid-40, 000.

Special Guest Thom Bresh
Thom Bresh Bio
A veteran of the stage since age 3 in Hollywood, Thom Bresh was raised in the middle of guitar royalty. His father, Merle Travis, was the most influential American guitarist of the 20th Century. The relentless, powerful groove of the Breshman's Travis-picking guitar style together with a deep, witty and gritty singing voice makes him a force to be reckoned with. His quick comedic timing and sharp ear has made him an incredible impressionist. He was a regular on the Merv Griffin Show and Dinah, had two HBO Specials and hosted his own TV show. From age 3 to age 17, he worked as an actor and stuntman at Corriganville Movie Ranch in Southern California, and has worked as a videographer for his friends Jerry Reed, Hank Thompson, Lyle Lovett, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, and Tanya Tucker. He has performed alongside performers ranging from Bob Hope to Chet Atkins to Gordon Lightfoot. On every performance Bresh pays tribute to his father. When he lays into his father's thumbpickin' classics, he and his custom-made two-sided Langejans guitar, which he calls "my band." will leave the Travis style pickers hungry and the rest of us breathless. Combined with that natural wit, whether he is leaning against a wall telling you how his day went or shaking the walls of a concert hall with that famous hard driving thumb, first and foremost, you will be entertained.
Muriel Anderson Bio
Anderson is notably admired by guitarists across the globe, including Chet Atkins and Les Paul, and has performed with many guitar luminaries. Her obvious joy of music and her facility across folk, classical, bluegrass and international music is revered by guitarists worldwide. An engaging performer, Muriel's unique approach to the instrument virtually transforms the guitar into a lyrical choir, then a marching band, then a Japanese koto, then a Bluegrass band, one minute launching into a Beatles' tune and the next, a Spanish classic. Muriel is host of the renowned Muriel Anderson's ALL STAR GUITAR NIGHT® and founder of the MUSIC FOR LIFE ALLIANCE charity.

Neural Factor Graph Models for Cross-lingual Morphological Tagging
(Malaviya, Gormley, and Neubig, 2018) at ACL (to appear)
Good morphological taggers (the software that sees
hablaste and recognizes that it's in the preterite tense, second-person singular) are important because they're used to improve later tasks. Today's paper presents a state-of-the-art neural tagger based on neural nets and conditional random fields. I'd previously looked at combining neural nets and graphical models, and I think this is a better example.
Morphological tagging involves taking a sequence of words and marking the properties of those words. It's similar to part-of-speech tagging, except that the tags aren't atomic, like
NOUN or
ADJ. Instead, they're sets of individual features, like
{POS: Adj, Gender: Masc, Number: Sing}. If your schema defines \(\mid \mathcal{S} \mid\) features, each word could be tagged with one of \(2^{\mid \mathcal{S} \mid}\) bundles. Malaviya et al. make a simplifying assumption: words will never have two tags from one category. For instance,
Gender can only be one of
Neu, or
<Not relevant>, not some combination.
The authors work with the Universal Dependencies treebank, a collection of running text that's annotated with morphological bundles. Because UD is compiled by different annotators, the categories applied to the same word can be different from language to language. This inconsistency has weakened previous taggers, which assume that the space of bundles will match between the languages. The probability of the tag sequence given the sentence is:
Malaviya et al. break from past work by individually predicting each feature in the bundle—instead of the entire bundle as a unit. Instead of regarding tagging as a multi-class problem, they treat it as multi-label classification. If each label were independent, we could get the conditional likelihood as:
That's not to say that they predict features independently. Instead, they model relationships between features in a bundle, along with sequential relationships, using a conditional random field. This is a globally normalized model which can define arbitrary dependencies, scored according to a chosen potential function \(\psi\).
Z is the normalizing constant for this sentence, ensuring that the probability distribution is valid. Each alpha is an individual factor, one of the colored boxes in the figure. The factor touches some circles representing variables, which we call \(\mathbf{y}_\alpha\).
In this case, the green potentials are calculated using an LSTM.
- Create word vectors. Run a character-level bi-LSTM over each word. This gives a forward sequence and backward sequence of hidden states. Take the last states of each sequence and concatenate them to get the word embedding. We do this to include subword information in the word embeddings.
- Process the sentence. Now, we use a word-level bi-LSTM. It takes the word embeddings as input and produces two sequences of hidden states, just like step 1. This time, we concatenate the two vectors for each word, making our word representations aware of their context.
- Use a language-specific linear layer \(\mathbf{g}(\mathbf{x}, t \mid \ell) = \mathbf{W}\ell\mathbf{e}_t + \mathbf{b}\ell\) to transform each word vector into a score vector. There's one entry for each of the \(M\) categories.
- Take a linear combination of the scores, then exponentiate it—which ensures that the result is positive. This is your potential value. (Potentials must be positive.)
The red pairwise potentials and grey transition potentials are also exponentiated linear combinations, though there's no nonlinearity involved. An innovation for these is that they share general linguistic knowledge: Learned weights \(\lambda\) are a sum \(\lambda_{\rm general} +\lambda_{\rm language}\).
To actually perform inference with this loopy-graph model, they resort to loopy belief propagation, a message-passing algorithm. Variables (circles) and factors (squares) take turns computing messages and propagating them to their neighbors, in an arbitrary order. After the messages converge (the error is below some threshold), you can compute the final values at each position as a function of the messages. Those values are, more or less, probabilities which can be used or inference.
At test time, they decode using minimum Bayes risk, maximizing the probabilities for each tag. Their loss is Hamming loss (lose a point for every true/false you have to flip).
Little tricks to make it work:
- The final task is to improve tagging by exploiting a high-resource language (HRL). Unfortunately, both their model and the baseline overfit the HRL, so they upsample the low-resource text by a factor of 10.
- Comparing Adam and SGD as optimizers.
They actually wind up smoking the baseline by Cotterell and Heigold. The idea that the individual features should be related is unsurprising. What's cool about this paper is how they made it work.

Hi there Readers,
Are you procrastinating? Or are you at work? Then here's something amusing and distracting for you: my next article for Forces Of Geek on the Top 5 Strangest Ways To Die is up! Here's an excerpt:
The only way to leave a lasting impression on humanity is either by having a successful life or being notable in death – the Wicked Witch Of The East's only claim to fame was having a house dropped on her, after all. But, people die in real life in equally strange and unexpected ways. Coconuts that fall from trees kill around 150 people every year, around 20 people die from falling out of bed in Britain annually, and from 2003 – 2007, 108 people in the United States died because of cows. While death is inevitable, clearly we should all be worrying more about how exactly we're going to pass on. Although there are plenty of dumb ways to die, here is our list of some of the weirder ways in which people have kicked the bucket:
5. Death By Flying Turtle
Any plumber trying to rescue a princess in a castle will tell you that turtles are deceptively dangerous.
Greek dramatist, Aeschylus would have pointedly agreed. A prediction that he would die from a blow from heaven came true in the most unlikely form. Aeschylus was taking a leisurely walk, when a turtle crashed onto his head, killing him. A hungry eagle had mistook Aeschylus's bald head for a rock and with deadly aim, dropped the turtle onto his head to break it open (the turtle, not the head).
We will never know who was the most surprised – Aeschylus, the turtle or the eagle.
You can read the rest of the article here and leave me a comment if you've heard of stranger instances of death. Morbidity ftw!

Huixtocihuatl is the elder sister of the Tlaloque. She was banished by her brothers to the salt beds after she offended and angered them. At the salt beds sh discovered salt - how it existed, how it was formed, how were made the salt jars; and also grains of salt. During the month of Tecuilhuitontli, a women dressed as Huixtocihuatl was sacrificed in her honor. [1]

Kick-Off St. Patrick's Day Fun in Tybee This Weekend!
While St. Patrick's Day isn't until Sunday, March 17, Tybee Island likes to start things early and has a day planned for you to get your green on! The Island will "go green" with the 11th Annual Tybee Island Irish Heritage Celebration Parade, which will be held Saturday, March 9. This is a free, family-friendly event that is open to the public and parade goers are encouraged to come out dressed in green!
The fun starts at 3:00 pm at City Hall and proceeds down Butler Avenue to Tybrisa Street. You're in for a treat this year as the Tybee Irish Heritage Celebration Parade gets bigger and better each year. Some of what you have to look forward to are Irish families marching, along with bands, bagpipers and festive floats that will instill Irish pride in all of us. There will also be golf carts and bicycles decked out in their "green".
If you happen to be staying here at the 17th Street Inn, you will be happy to know that you are only 42 seconds away from the parade route! It's not too late to book your stay with us but the suites are going fast!
The Irish Heritage Celebration Parade isn't the only St. Patrick's Day fun happening this weekend. Just 20 minutes from Tybee Island in popular Savannah:
- The annual Greening of the Forsyth Park Fountain is on Friday, March 8 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.
- Tara Feis is on Saturday, March 9. This festival will include live performances, food, art activities, crafts and games hosted with Irish ceremony, tradition and hospitality.

In this digital age, user-generated content (UGC) like positive reviews and social media images can be an absolute godsend for hospitality marketers.
No matter if you're just opening your venue or you're a hospitality veteran, marketing can be incredibly labour intensive. You have enough to worry about already and user-generated content can be a great solution.
Here we discuss why user-generated content is so effective and how to make the best possible use of it for your hospitality venue.
The Benefits of User-Generated Content
Which option is more likely to get you to dine at a restaurant:
- The restaurant's social media account saying how great their food and beverage is; or
- an influencer you follow on Instagram raving about their experience?
Chances are it's the latter. Most of us inherently trust individuals more than a brand we've never heard of before. In fact, studies have shown that up to 92% trust user-generated content more than traditional advertising.
Not only is user generated content more trustworthy, studies have proven that it's more memorable, lingering longer in the mind of potential diners. And oftentimes it's absolutely free!
User reviews are an incredibly potent form of user-generated content too, which can significantly make or break your restaurant's reputation. The Guardian reports that an extra half a star caused a restaurant's 7pm bookings to spike from 30% to 49%. That's quite an increase.
How to Maximise User Content for Your Hospitality Venue
Generate as much user content as possible
A good first step to an effective user-generated content strategy is to ask your customer base to share their experiences. For example, when customers go to pay the bill, hand them a business card asking for a review or social share. Providing an incentive will aid this immensely.

Host a competition
Social media competitions can really aid your social media strategy. They are particularly effective for getting a social profile up-and-running because they can accelerate your number of followers.
Try to make your competition image-based, so that you get the added benefit of entrants providing you with a huge library to use on your social media channels in future.
Track hashtags
Another crucial step is to continuously monitor relevant hashtags. If you own a Spanish restaurant called El Toro, you'll want to check the exact hashtag (#ElToro) as well as things like #spanishfood , #Spanishfoodmelbourne #tapasmelbourne etc.
Also consider creating a unique hashtag around your restaurant. #ElToro will be full of random pictures of bulls and other shops and venues with the same name so do some research and find a hashtag that no one else is using, such as #ElToroMelb or #ElToroTapas.
Engage with customers
Having your venue out there on social media and third party review sites is fantastic. But we recommend leveraging these user reviews, image and video assets to your advantage even more.
Do this by reaching out to users who have written nice things about you or taken lovely pictures. Tell them how much you appreciate the mention and ask if it's ok to put their quote on your site or re-share their image sometime. Not only will this give you plenty of user-generated content but it'll make the user feel special.
Go the extra mile
Picture: TINT
If you really want to own the social media landscape, embrace it into the very landscape of your restaurant. One way to do this is to invest in a 'Wall of Fame' type screen that cycles through feeds of the latest user-generated content – tweets, tagged Instagram images and the like – for your customers to read and get involved in.
Another way to go the extra mile in your hospitality venue is to invest in a modern, intuitive POS system. Check out our offerings now or head back to our blog for more hospitality-related articles.

Why Include Card Bases?
I often hear that people purchase "paper shares" and then don't use them because they don't have the coordinating colors OR they just don't know what to do with them. Never fear, I am here to help you with both of these issues!!! You will not only have enough coordinating card bases for every piece of paper, but I love to share tons of quick and easy card ideas that use the paper as the "focus."
Don't Fall Into This Trap
One thing I find people REALLY struggle with is they think that the different Designer Series Papers MUST be combined with the stamp sets shown together in the catalog. I totally disagree, and honestly, most often use the papers NOT with the coordinating stamp set. I like to use the paper as the focal point, and simply add a greeting.
As always, if you have any questions–make sure to ask. This paper share is different, so if you are not quite sure what you all get, make sure to watch the video or ask away!!! I promise, you will love this new concept in paper shares!!!

So, it is recommended that whenever you are looking for cheap flights, search for them in the incognito mode also known as "private browsing". There you will be able to find the cheap flights to reach your destination easily.
2) Check Out Offers of Different Airlines Before Booking:
Don't be in hurry to book your tickets, check the fares of different airlines and find out which flights are offering tickets at the lowest cost and then book accordingly.

3) Check out the period in which the price is cut down:
There are times when there are huge discounts on ticket fares such as when the festive season is going on, the rates become low so, what you can do is, you can plan according to the months. Let us assume you are planning a trip to Goa with your friends, so what you can do is you can choose the best month to visit Goa, such as during New Year. There are many airlines who cut down their fares because of festivals. So, you can plan a trip at that time at low rates.
4) Connecting Flights Will Be Worth It:
Let us assume that you are traveling to Toronto, Canada from Mumbai, then instead of booking two different flights, what you can do is, book a connecting flight of the same airline. The fare may be little bit different but it will definitely save some amount of money of yours.
5) Choose low cost destination for vacation:
If you are just going on a vacation, then you can initially choose a place that is cheaper in price, because of this, the price of flights also will be low. Later you can go on various destinations if your dream is to explore the world with your loved ones or alone.
6) Buy Bulk Flight Tickets:

You can easily check out various websites that provides cheap rates offers on international flights.
Steps to Book Flight Ticket:
Though you know the steps of booking a flight ticket, I will still mention the basic procedure to do so, just in case you are a new traveller, and booking the ticket for the first time, so you don't make any mistake otherwise once payment is done your money will be wasted. So, follow the steps in order to book the ticket for your destination:
- Visit any website and register yourself from where you can book flight tickets such as Yatra, MakeMyTrip, SkyScanner and more according to your choice.
- Enter your origin, destination, number of passengers, and date of journey.

- Click on "Book" button and proceed with the payment process.
Things You Need to Take Care of While Entering at The Airport:
- Don't forget to carry identity proof with you.
- Don't overload your luggage.
- Don't carry tools such as knifes, cutters, safety pins or so.

We all get one life and there are millions of places in this world that all of us want to explore, so it is my personal recommendation that if you are new at your job, then put all your efforts, save your money, do a proper research of the place where you want to go, and see how you can invest less money and do more adventure, and fix an approximate budget in your mind and plan accordingly.
We always want someone to come with us but travelling alone to new places is also a lot of fun, you get to spend some time with yourself and there is nothing bad in it. Sometimes we need to take a break from all the work and our busy routine. So, start saving and travel!

Gennaro is a Research Scientist with the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute. He carries out his research in the Space Science and Astrobiology Division (Planetary Systems Branch, SST) at the NASA Ames Research Center (NASA-ARC). Before joining the SETI Institute, he held appointments at NASA-ARC, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and at the University of Exeter (UK).
Gennaro is an astrophysicist and planetary scientist whose scientific activity mainly focuses on accretion and protoplanetary disks, and on the formation and evolution of planets. He is also interested in stellar astrophysics. He works on disk-planet tidal interactions, orbital evolution of young planets, core-nucleated accretion of giant planets, satellite formation around giant planets, observational signature of planets in disks, and computational radiation hydrodynamics. He also studies the evolution of planetesimals (the planetary building blocks) in gaseous disks. Generally speaking, his research aims at predicting whether planets can form and what type of planets can form, given a set of initial conditions in a protoplanetary disk. These predictions not only can help us understand the origins of our Solar System but they can also inform us on the occurrence of habitable planets in extrasolar planetary systems.

Today, "open marriages" are becoming more and more common. In the past week, there have been dozens of news stories, think pieces, and celebrity columns about monogamy and open marriages. Not every marriage works out, and the same is no less true for open marriages.
In a standard, closed marriage, parties can get divorces based on adultery – or sex/relationships outside the marriage. But what about open marriages, where relationships outside the marriage are expected? Is adultery still grounds for a divorce? The experienced Philadelphia family lawyers at Sadek and Cooper explain Pennsylvania's rules on the subject:
Fault Divorce in "Open Marriages"
When a spouse wants a divorce, they have two options in Pennsylvania: a "fault" or "no-fault" divorce. The term "fault" does not necessarily mean that a fault divorce is focused on blame and bad actions, but it does have some elements of blame. Basically, in a fault divorce, one party sues the other for divorce because of something the other party did.
In Pennsylvania, there are six grounds for fault divorce under 23 Pa.C.S. § 3301:
- Desertion,
- Adultery,
- Cruel and barbarous treatment,
- Bigamy,
- Imprisonment, and
- Indignities.
In these divorces, the "plaintiff" sues for divorce based on one of these grounds. The other spouse, who challenges the divorce, is called the "defendant."
"Adultery" is on this list, but not actually defined in the PA code. Instead, the common definition gives us enough to work with. Adultery is generally defined as voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not their spouse.
In an open marriage, the spouses usually agree that they will be able to have romantic relationships and sexual intercourse with people other than their spouses. There is nothing illegal about this in Pennsylvania, as consenting adults can privately agree to many terms of their marriage.
Even in an open marriage, the spouses may still technically meet the definition of "adultery" in their extra-marital relations. If the parties are okay with this, then it will not lead to any problems. Problems often arise, though, when one of the spouses changes their mind.
The definition of "adultery" and its position as legal grounds for divorce can complicate open marriages. If one spouse changes their mind on the open marriage agreement, they may want to sue for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Alternatively, if one party sues for divorce, they may turn to adultery as the legal grounds. Technically, as the divorce code is written, adultery could actually be used as the legal grounds for a divorce, even in an open marriage.
"Open Marriage" as a Defense to Divorce
Even though the plaintiff may sue for divorce based on adultery grounds, the courts are unlikely to accept these grounds in an open marriage. Many things in the law have built-in "defenses" that help protect defendants from unfair outcomes. Adultery divorces have built-in defenses, listed under 23 Pa.C.S. § 3307.
The first set of defenses, referenced in § 3307(a), are old, common law defenses to divorce. These have been around for centuries and come from English law before being brought to the U.S. These defenses are as follows (as they relate to adultery):
- Condonation: The plaintiff forgave the defendant for prior acts of adultery.
- Connivance: The plaintiff secretly allowed the adultery or turned a blind eye.
- Collusion: The plaintiff helped set-up or participated in the adultery.
- Recrimination: The defendant accuses the plaintiff of also performing adulterous acts.
- Provocation: The plaintiff provoked the defendant into adultery.
Though some of these situations may seem ridiculous, remember that they are very old defenses and might not reflect modern values. At the same time, they can still be effective grounds to stop a divorce.
- 3307(b) also lists four specific defenses that work against adultery claims:
- The plaintiff also committed adultery;
- The plaintiff continued to have sexual relations with the defendant after knowing about the defendant's adultery;
- The defendant allowed the plaintiff to act as a prostitute, or acted as the plaintiff's pimp; or
- The plaintiff introduced the defendant into the "lewd company" involved in the adultery.
Some of these overlap with the common law defenses, especially collusion and recrimination.
The most obvious ways that these act as defenses to adultery claims in an open marriage are with condonation and recrimination. In a truly open marriage, it is likely that one spouse allows the other to have extra-marital relations, which would satisfy the defense of condonation. Similarly, if both spouses have extra-marital relations, the recrimination defense would work.
Pennsylvania Open Marriage Divorce Attorney
Fault divorces often involve revealing private facts that may be embarrassing. Luckily, Pennsylvania also allows no-fault divorces for couples who both agree to a divorce.
Whether you are seeking or defending against a divorce, or agree on a no fault divorce, you may need a divorce attorney.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare said it would analyze how the government helped Korean healthcare services enter the global market in the past 10 years and prepare for another decade. The ministry also vowed to support local hospitals to attract international patients actively.
|Kim Hye-seon, director general of the Global Healthcare Bureau at the Ministry of Health and Welfare
Kim Hye-seon, director general of the ministry's Global Healthcare Bureau, told reporters about the government's plan.
"This year marks the 10th year since Korea began sending hospitals overseas. Now is the time to set the direction for the next 10 years," Kim said. "Many are worrying that China will catch up with Korea in the next five years or Korea's healthcare service might stop growing soon. We will set a long-term plan for the next five or 10 years."
The current administration puts a significant emphasis on "New Northern Policy" and "New Southern Policy," where Korea will enhance cooperation not only with Russia, Mongolia, or Central Asia but Southeast Asia, Kim noted. "They have good infrastructure for Korean hospitals to enter or to invite patients back to Korea. By studying them, we will make opportunities for pharmaceuticals, medical device makers, and hospital systems to enter the market together in a package."
She went on to say that exports of healthcare services and attraction of foreign patients would help boost the Korean economy. "The healthcare sector creates more jobs than other industries," she added.
Kim noted that although her bureau receives much support from many other ministries, the ministry's working partner, Korea Health Industry Development Institute, seemed to lack experts.
"In KHIDI, the international medical division is in charge of overseas healthcare service. It is important to create a favorable condition for KHIDI experts so that they can work in the long term," she said.
Kim emphasized that the government would continue to support Korean hospitals' overseas expansion or attraction of foreign patients.
"We should be partners working together to help hospitals enter the global market and bring in international patients. We will work on basic materials for the next two to three years to support them," she said.

PIJAC Joins the AMR Challenge to Combat Antibiotic Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the world's progress in healthcare, food production, and even life expectancy, and it affects both humans and animals. The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC) recently joined the AMR Challenge, an initiative being led by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to address antibiotic resistance around the globe. The AMR Challenge calls on governments, private industry and civil society to commit to taking actionable steps that further our progress in combating antibiotic resistance.
PIJAC and the broader pet care community are working to develop and establish Recommendations for Judicious Use of Antimicrobials in Companion Animal Care. This document will address antimicrobial use and connected subjects in an effort to codify best management practices that will encourage responsible stewardship while protecting human and animal health and well-being. In addition to these recommendations, PIJAC and our allies will produce educational materials and provide outreach and education to the pet care community and the general public. They will seek to partner with related programs and organizations to maximize the effectiveness of our outreach efforts.
PIJAC has sought input from leading voices in the pet care community, spoken with breeders and animal handlers, as well as animal health experts, regarding disease prevention strategies, vaccination protocols, hygiene practices and routine health monitoring. They have convened town hall meetings at Global Pet Expo and SuperZoo this year to increase awareness and stakeholder engagement as well as solicit input from retailers, manufacturers and distributors on their own stewardship practices.
As PIJAC works to develop these industry-wide best management practices, we want to hear from you. Please reach out to Savonne Caughey firstname.lastname@example.com or Mike Bober firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss ways in which you can get involved in this important effort.
To learn more about the dangers associated with AMR and to make a formal commitment to join the AMR challenge, please visit the CDC's website.
Mike Bober is president and CEO of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC). PIJAC members include retailers, companion animal suppliers, manufacturers, wholesale distributors, manufacturers' representatives, pet hobbyists and other trade organizations.
