Reading U21s 4-3 Newcastle United U21sReading's U21s made it 11 goals in two games as they hit four past Newcastle United to return to winning ways in the U21s Premier League.
Having beaten Crawley 7-2 in a behind-closed-doors friendly last week, two goals from Jack Stacey and one each from Pierce Sweeney and Dominic Samuel saw the Royals win 4-3.
Newcastle went in front on five minutes when Tom Heardman dispossessed Reading goalkeeper Jonathan Henly to divert the ball into an empty net.
A brilliant, sweeping team move from the hosts, which started with an elegant switch of the play by Aaron Kuhl, concluded with Jack Stacey curling home a brilliant equaliser to make it 1-1.
And just after the 15-minute mark centre-back Sweeney nodded home Ryan Edwards' out-swinging corner to turn the game around and make it 2-1 to Martin Kuhl's men.
A strong run down the left by the Mapgies' Harris Vuckic ended with his scuffed strike looping off the foot of Sweeney and nestling in the corner on 33 minutes.
It was 2-2 at the break but Stacey's second of the game restored Reading's lead. Tariqe Fosu embarked on a mazy run down the right with possession eventually dropping to Stacey, who hammered home at the near post.
The lead did not last, however, as Newcastle's Adam Armstrong volleyed in from close range, via the underside of the crossbar, following a good burst forward from Alex Gilliead.
But the Royals were not to be denied and with the contest looking likely to end as a draw, Sami Fridjonsson won possession well in midfield eight minutes from time.
He released the ball to Fosu, who played a one-two with Stacey to get himself a sight of goal. Newcastle stopper Freddie Woodman kept his low effort out but Samuel was well positioned to chest the loose ball down, step inside and ram home a late
Reading: Henly, Long, Griffin, Hyam, Sweeney, Stacey, Kuhl, Fridjonsson, Edwards, Samuel, Fosu.
Newcastle: Woodman, Barlaser, Williams, Streete (Bigirimana 46), Good, Laidler, Gilliead, Smith, Vuckic, Armstrong, Heardman.

to get back to life post-christmas.
i feel so tired.
and almost like a big let down. i don't know, it's hard to explain.
but let's back up a bit.
christmas was awesome. beyond awesome.
i loved every minute of it.
we had a white christmas. IN ALABAMA.
unheard of.
and of course my parents and uncle jay were here with us too.
gifts everywhere, cookies and big breakfasts and ham and my mom's macaroni and cheese, grandfather's eggnog, miracle on 34th street, happy, happy, happy.
the kiddos haven't seen that much snow in their lifetime.
they had never built a snowman before.
they didn't know whether to stay inside and play with their new stuff or stay outside in the falling snow.
so they ran in and out and in and out and in. josh changed clothes about five times.
ben didn't really care at all. he was content to play by the tree and watch toy story.
the whole day felt pretty freakin awesome if i say so myself.
i have a few pictures but not much because i was so busy being in the moment.
so here's just a few of the day. (most taken by my dad!)
(i couldn't resist posting those last couple of josh and john. too funny)
now, back to the funkedy funk funk...
i'm sure i'll get over it.
after i'm finished organizing everything in our house. whenever that is.

Make hard-cooked eggs; meanwhile, combine crabmeat with a spoonful each of Dijon mustard and mayonnaise or yogurt, lemon juice, diced red bell pepper, paprika, and cumin; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Run eggs under cold water, shell and halve them, and mash the yolks into the crab mixture; stuff the whites. Sprinkle the top with chopped parsley (or caviar for that matter). 5. Tomato, Goat Cheese, and Basil Strata You can assemble this the night before and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
Finely chop one cup of fresh basil and stir in one-half cup of mayonnaise. When the squid is cool, cut into rings and toss with the radish mixture; serve on salad greens with a dollop of the mayonnaise on top. 20. Summertime Shrimp Salad Toss shelled shrimp in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and grill or broil until cooked through. Zest and juice a lemon and combine with olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add diced red onion, chopped cucumber, and chunks of ripe peaches, plums, or melon.
The exceptions are when I call for salmon (use wild if at all possible), scallops, tuna (not bluefin), sardines and anchovies, clams or mussels, crab, squid, lobster, and shrimp (again, wild), for which tasty, safe, and sustainable options are readily available, and substitutions are a little trickier. Leftover Cooked Meat, Fish, or Poultry: These increase your options, as do cooked deli meats like roast beef, corned beef, rotisserie chicken, and turkey. All of these have a life beyond sandwiches, as some of these recipes suggest.

A new culture of shaming has taken hold in America. Trump administration employees are being shouted out of restaurants and movie theaters or impolitely "asked" to leave.
A CNN reporter was recently heckled at a pro-Trump rally.
The level of civility has gotten so bad that Congresswomen Maxine Waters stated that shaming should be a concerted political strategy of the Left.
"If you see anybody from that Cabinet [of the Trump administration] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere," Waters said. She later encouraged protesters "to absolutely harass them."
While people are certainly entitled to their own opinions, harassing others who don't agree with them in the public sphere degrades one of the most precious rights given to us by our founding fathers: freedom of speech.
That freedom has already been downgraded by the successful strategy of Islamists to portray in the press every criticism of Islamism as racist and bigoted. "Islamophobia!" they cry, making any critic of political Islam a persona non-grata in the public sphere.
Those pushing sharia law have even managed to teamed up with stalwarts of the Left — feminists, LGBQ activists and more (whose rights under a sharia regime ironically would be non-existent).
Ask those protesting against Hamas (i.e. pro-Israel activists) on college campuses today how their life is going.
Waters' call takes the sails out of our right to free speech to the next level. Harassers may not be violating any law on a technical level, but the effect of their tactics will serve to create a self-imposed state of censorship. Sounds pretty Stalin-like to me.
Is this the type of country we want to live in?
As the world devolved into fascism, communism, Nazism and Islamism, America stood apart, maintaining respect for political process – a large part of which eschewed demagoguery and relied on dialogue.
It's time to get back there.

New York, NY – As fans (especially the ones who paid for a pre-order) lost their mental nuggets over yet another Kanye West album delay with Jesus Is King, the man of the hour appeared to have his priorities lie elsewhere.
Ye (decked out in denim and his custom Yeezy sneakers) and his wife Kim Kardashian West were among the many guests at the Fashion Group International's Annual Night of The Stars Gala inside New York City's Cipriani Wall Street on Thursday (October 24). According to the gala's website, the organization champions itself as a "global, non-profit, professional organization with 5,000 members in the fashion industry including apparel, accessories, beauty and home" a table at the glitzy annual event can run up to $23,000.
Other notables in attendance included Vera Wang, Rick Owens and Andy Hilfiger.
The gala occurred adjacent from the calamity Ye caused on Twitter when he assured fans and onlookers that the album would be seen before the Friday sun.
"To my fans, Thank you for being loyal & patient," Ye wrote on Twitter. "We are specifically fixing mixes on "Everything We Need" "Follow God" & "Water" We not going to sleep until this album is out!"

You'll find various kinds of construction dust that may be created in the workplace
The type of construction and location of the site might establish what is in the air.
The dryer areas within the country have a problem with particle matter floating in the air whose structure is different than wetter regions where the nuisance dust may be from the saw dust that the building methods produce. The cleaning up of the free debris is the solution for most dust problems that have been generated on the construction site that is directly attributable to the construction progression. The health hazards of construction site dust may perhaps include cement residue, asbestos, mineral fibers with a non-natural origin and the most common is wood dust.
The main reason for the concern is the consequences these have on the people functioning at the site and the encircling area. When usual sources of dust from plants and pets merge with the airborne particles of the construction site, it could adversely affect the membranes for the occupance.
The US Department of Health and Human Service's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health consider silicosis has a significant problem and reason for health problems who has its origins from construction dust. Construction dust control from the particle matter smaller than 10 micrometers or PM10 has to be approached from a different perspective than those that are naturally occurring in our environment
The airborne crystalline silica that originates through the concrete, masonry and rock on the site can become wedged inside membranes in addition to lungs of the respiratory systems of the people on and in the vicinity of the site. Once there, they grow to be hardened and cause permanent damage including death.
Construction dust suppression for this problem is often accomplished when the proper precautions are taken along with the correct equipment. The blades that are used to cut concrete and other masonry items needs to be equipped with a water attachment to make the dust to heavy to be airborne. When drilling into rock the same accessory ought to be used to beset the dust and forestall it from becoming airborne.
Cleaning afterwards is just as significant. The water which was helpful to overwhelm the dust will disperse over time. Collection and proper disposal is a necessary part of keeping the work site as free as possible of nuisance dust.
Another little thought about source of silica is from the abrasive materials which might be employed on the development site. This includes the silica paper along with sanding discs that are used to prepare and condition the various surfaces around the site. When these materials are employed, the worker needs to be using a dust mask on themselves to avoid breathing of the particle matter.
The US Government classifies nuisance dust which is created from the landscape as a natural event under the air pollution laws. This is a contributor to the construction dust crisis but not the entire cause. With the appropriate precautions of construction dust control can minimize the adverse effects in the folks on and near the construction site.
To help you establish expressly what's best for your situation there is a important resource with information on this environmental topic at Soil Control International and their informative site.

PNG Marine Conservation Initiative 2020
PNG Marine Conservation Initiative 2020
is a collaboration between:
Coral Sea Foundation
PNG Yacht Services
Melanesian Luxury Yacht Services
PNG Center for Locally Managed Areas
PNG-MCI-2020 Mission Statement
The Coral Sea borders the Great Barrier Reef and the island archipelagos of Melanesia, and contains marine ecosystems of exceptionally high quality and biodiversity. Our aim is to raise awareness of the ecological and social value the Coral Sea and Eastern Coral Triangle, and to be proactive in its sustainable management. This region contains the last great reservoir of ultra-diverse coral reef in the world, yet most of it is remote and rarely visited, and is in urgent need of our assistance.
Combining an ethos of science, ecotourism, and sustainability, the Coral Sea Foundation and our partners work with traditional owners to develop marine reserves that enhance fisheries and ecotourism resources, while improving the basic quality of life of people in our partner villages through delivery of clean water infrastructure, medical supplies, and educational materials.
PNG-MCI-2020 Expedition Program
The Coral Sea Foundation has access to the 24m liveaboard dive vessel MY Golden Dawn which is being provided at cost to support our program of marine conservation and humanitarian aid delivery in 2020. This vessel has a strong track-record of operations in PNG and is set up for scuba and nitrox diving with accommodation for 10 personnel in air-conditioned comfort. With twin tenders and and a range of 1,200km it is an ideal platform to facilitate the remote area operations of the Coral Sea Foundation in the waters of Melanesia.
Here is what your donation supports:
Any donations, large or small, will contribute to the effectiveness of the PNG Marine Conservation Initiative 2020 and our efforts to accelerate marine reserve creation in the eastern Coral Triangle and deliver humanitarian aid to our partner communities.
MY Golden Dawn is being provided for the Coral Sea Foundation's use at a subsidized cost, however we still need to raise about $25,000 per expedition to help cover the operating costs of the vessel, salary for the PNG crew, travel costs for our scientific team, and to purchase the reef monitoring equipment and humanitarian aid for our partner villages.
Our Sea Women of Melanesia team will also be represented on each expedition and will be working to train local women in our partner communities, and so funds raised here will also support wages and equipment for the Sea Women team leaders.

The Coral Sea Foundation already has an excellent track record of results over the last two years, with 20 PNG women and 8 Solomon Islands women trained to date through our Sea Women of Melanesia Program and more than 18 new marine reserve areas in the pipeline within Papua New Guinea. We have completed expeditions into the remote Louisiade Archipelago and the D'Entrecasteaux Islands of PNG, and the western province of Solomon Islands, and delivered reef monitoring equipment and first aid supplies to 22 of our partner villages. This work kick-started the process of registering another 17 marine reserves in the heart of the eastern Coral Triangle, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, and the video productions from these trips have revealed the wonders of this incredible region to thousands of online viewers You tube channel.
With access to a dedicated expedition vessel in 2020, and your support, we are excited and inspired to build on these results and deliver sustainable conservation outcomes for the coral reefs and people of Melanesia.
Thank you for considering our project.

Automation insights and productivity tips from LEAPWORK.
Data is found everywhere. Whether you are testing an application's functionality with different data parameters or automating the process of moving data from A to B, you have probably realized by now that data is found to be a key component in most automation cases.
There are several methodologies available for implementation in software testing. However, not all require the same effort for test creation and maintenance. If you need to run the same tests, but with different parameter values, then you can do this through data-driven testing (DDT).
Poor data quality puts customer experience at risk. To mitigate that risk, IT-driven enterprises need continuous data cleansing.
IT projects are multidimensional and difficult to perceive. How do you test a project with potentially infinite dimensions?
The Data Builder Pattern is used to automatically create data in the system under test. In this post, I will show how to apply the pattern using LEAPWORK to generate data and increase the value of automated test cases.
Driving automation in LEAPWORK with pre-defined data from an Excel file is easy with the Read Excel block. But sometimes you need more real-time access.
A demonstration of how to iterate through found content with LEAPWORK's Selenium-based web automation capabilities.
The "Read Excel" block in LEAPWORK is a major step forward for data-driven test automation, making it very easy to parameterize and drive automation cases with structured and tabular data.
Dates and timestamps are important in most test automation scenarios. For instance, when testing user sign-up flows, entering a birthday or social security number is often required. Or when validating expiration dates during web content testing, generating a date/time value exactly one week from today might be needed.

Flashing is often your home's last line of defense against water damage. There are several different materials that are commonly used for flashing and each is best suited for specific situations and in combination with different building and roofing materials. Before we talk about the different types of flashing materials, let's take a minute to talk about what flashing is and how it works.
What is Flashing?
Flashing refers to the materials used in joints on the roof or walls of your home. Its job is to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage to the home's walls and ceilings, causing structural damage to the home, or creating moisture and mold problems throughout the home.
On the roof flashing is found anywhere there is an elevation transitions in a roof line. This includes valleys, around chimneys and pipes, around dormers, and around any skylights or other structures that come up through the roof. Flashing is also commonly found beneath the first course of bricks on a home or chimney, above all wood trim around doors and windows, and where stairs and decks attach to the home.
How Flashing Works
Flashing works by directing water to flow around openings instead of over or into them. When installed correctly, flashing provides protection from its layers by the way it is installed. When used on the roof, flashing is placed under the shingles and around any protrusions like chimneys and pipes with a base that rises above the roof slightly. The shingles or roofing materials are then placed over the flashing. This will guide water around the protrusion and down the roof.
When used on valleys, joints, and other seams, flashing is placed across the joint and underneath the roofing material and usually bent in a way to provide a valley for water to flow down and away from the home. When flashing is used on external decks and stairs, it is placed in an "L" shape along the base of the structure where it meets the home, and against the side of the home. This prevents water from seeping behind the base of the structure where it can cause problems.
Common flashing materials
The type of flashing material used will depend on where it is being installed, how visible that location is, how much the budget is, and whether any aesthetic or historical appropriateness needs to be considered. The most common choices include:
1. Copper and Lead-Coated Copper
This is one of the most durable materials to use for flashing, but it is also the most expensive. Copper is a relatively soft metal, however, the technique to form it properly requires experience and practice. Joints can be soldered together easily to create watertight seals for custom applications. Copper will eventually age to show a green patina that gives an architectural authenticity to some styles of homes.
2. Aluminum
A common choice for chimney flashing, valley flashing, and base flashing, aluminum is versatile and durable especially when a finish is applied to extend its life. Aluminum is also more affordable than copper although aluminum without an applied finish cannot be used in direct contact with concrete, cement, and certain types of treated lumber as these materials will cause it to corrode. Joints in aluminum flashing must be overlapped or caulked with special sealants and usually require an experienced installer for larger jobs to ensure a water tight seal.
3. Lead
Lead is one of the oldest and most durable materials used for flashing. The health risks associated with lead have caused it to be replaced with safer materials, however, lead is still used in areas that are not easily accessed that also need long-lasting protection from water. Special handling is required for lead application.
4. Galvanized steel
One of the most affordable choices for flashing, galvanized steel is commonly used around chimneys and in valleys. Pre-formed pieces are usually available making installation easier. Galvanized steel can also be painted to allow easier blending with the structures and roofing of the home. It is, however, the least durable choice of metal and isn't recommended for use in harsh conditions or with long lasting roofing materials such as tile and slate as the flashing will have to be replaced long before the roof.
5. Galvalume Steel
AJ Wells preferred flashing metal is galvalume steel. This material is most commonly used because of the combination of the barrier corrosion protection from the aluminum as well as the galvanic protection capabilities from the zinc.
6. Stainless Steel
A very durable material that is well suited for harsh environments, stainless steel is a better choice for some climates than galvanized steel although it is more expensive and requires special tools to configure properly. Stainless steel flashing is often prefabricated in the shop before bringing on site. Stainless steel is also not affected by contact with concrete or masonry and makes a suitable alternative to aluminum in those circumstances.
7. Roofing Roll
This is a soft material that comes in roll form and is quick to install. It is also very affordable and lasts about as long as a typical asphalt shingle installation making it a common pair. It is mainly used in valleys and requires no special skills to install. It is not as durable as other choices, however, and can shrink under certain conditions so it is generally used sparingly.
The Importance of Proper Installation
In order for flashing to protect your roof and your home from seepage and water damage, it must be installed properly. Improper installation can give the appearance of a protected home while devastating damage is occurring unseen underneath the flashing. Repairing deteriorated flashing can require taking up large sections of the roofing materials, and damage underneath can result in expensive additional repairs.
Confusing? AJ Wells Can Help
When the correct flashing materials are chosen for your climate, roofing or building materials, the flashing will protect your home. Proper installation of flashing will protect your roof, the structure of your home, and everything underneath it from the dangers of water damage. If you're not sure which product or material is right for you, let our professional roofing contractors help you choose so you can feel confident that your home is protected. Many roofing companies don't understand how to properly deal with underlayment or flashing problems, with the experience and expertise from the Jacksonville roofers at AJ Wells, you can rest assured that every component of your roof and flashing material is properly installed and guaranteed.

Feeling Lucky (FTU)
This tutorial was written on February 16, 2010 Shani aka Wicked Princess. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of PSP.
Supplies Needed:
++Paint Shop Pro ( I used 10 but any version should work)
++Scrap kit Gina of Kikeka kits called Feeling Lucky can be found HERE
++Template 154 by Ali can be found HERE
++Tube of choice or the one I used. I used the posers included in the kit. Please credit the poser maker, Dark Moon's creation.
++Plug ins:
-Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow
++Font and Mask of choice
-Add Drop shadow of choice as you go
-You can merger layers as you want to make things easier for yourself.
Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.
Open several papers of choice, resizing as needed. For example, when I look at the blue bar where it tells me what I've opened (say like paper 2) it tells me what percentage I'm viewing it at. For me it's usually 16%, so I resize to 16% bringing it to 100%. ( I hope that made sense!) Once you've done this, minimize for later use.
Next go to the bottom template layer and go to selections, select all, then float, selections defloat. Don't forget to go to selections, none then delete the template layer. Add a gradient glow of your choice. Repeat this process for the rest of the template.
Add a new raster layer and flood fill with your choice of paper. Add your choice of mask and merge group. Move this layer below your template layers.
Now open the clover leaf frame, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer, moving it blow all layers but above the circle layer.
Open the bougainvillea flower, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the upper left portion of the tag. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror.
Then open the horseshoe, hat and mug. Resize then copy and paste as new layers. Arrange them in the left side template rectangle as you like.
Now open the tube of choice, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the right side rectangle. Add the pot of gold to the center of the rectangles, above both the clip art layers and poser layer.
Next open the ivy branches, resize then copy and paste as new layer. Move to the left of the canvas. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror.
Open the feeling lucky word art, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the bottom of the template layer.
Next open the flower bouquet of your choice. Resize then copy and paste as a new layer. Move to the left side of the tag then duplicate it. Go to image, mirror and adjust as needed.
Then open the butterfly of choice, resize then copy and paste as a new layer. Move to where ever you like in the tag. Duplicate it and do the same.
Now open the tag of choice, resize it then copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the bottom lower corner of the tag as you like.
Finally add your text, copyrights, license number if needed and tagger markings.
Save and your done!

On Saturday May 7 at 10am, in front of the new Parliament, the Civil Society Network will be organising a non-partisan protest calling for the resignations of Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri. It will be a peaceful protest with no speeches. All individuals and organisations have been invited to attend. Here are five reasons why you should be joining too.
1. It's time to send a message to governments
Yes, government is in plural for a reason. For years we have seen politically appointed people taking advantage of the system to better their needs and not that of the country. The common good is as mythical as a direwolf in Game of Thrones and it's because tribalism gets the better of the electorate who cannot distinguish between the good of the party and the good of the country. The previous PN government was taken down because of the lack of good governance and abuse of power. Many thought the situation would be different with the PL in government who promised they would act with the best of practices but their legislature soon descended into an over indulgence of personal favours. It's time governments realised it is the people who put them into power and that they aren't as untouchable as they would like to think.
2. This scandal shouldn't go away because of voter fatigue
If this happens it would be a disservice to each and every one of us. Yes, politics can be boring, and such issues can drag ad infinitum with no sign of redemption in sight. The magnitude of this story meant that it has headlined many a newspaper front page and people are getting bored of it but if the perpetrators get away with a mere slap on the wrist (Keith Schembri so far suffered no repercussions whatsoever, while Konrad Mizzi was shuffled around in an attempt to show consequence), it would be the electorate that ultimately pays the price. This government came to power with a call for good governance and total transparency, and this scandal (together with the Gaffarena deal, the American non-University, Australia Hall and Cafe Premier sale) is nothing but a sign of utter disrespect to anyone who believed things could be any different.
3. Saying sorry is not enough
Konrad Mizzi apologised during his speech on Wednesday when the House was debating a non-confidence vote against him but saying sorry is simply not enough. As a politician he should understand he breached moral and ethical grounds and thus needs to resign. Both the Prime Minister and himself keep saying the people will decide about the Panama scandal but the people have already decided and polls show Mizzi should go. So what other signals do the Prime Minister and Konrad Mizzi want?
4. It is not just about Konrad Mizzi
If Konrad Mizzi did something which breached morals and ethics, then so did the Prime Minister's right hand man and Chief of Staff, Keith Schembri. The Prime Minister naively said that Keith Schembri is not a political person but this to put it simply, is a lie. Schembri is one of the most powerful political people in Malta. He manages the affairs of the Office of the Prime Minister and is present when major deals are being brokered. He might be a behind the scenes man but that doesn't make him any less political.
5. Political responsibility has nothing to do with the legality of the Panama accounts.
One of the main defences for Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri has been the "nothing illegal happened" argument. Opening an offshore account is just one of the many financial loopholes the one per cent use to hide their wealth. There are also legitimate uses for having an offshore account - amongst others living in an unstable country where money can be seized without your authority. However, the fact still remains that many times, these companies, especially the ones in countries like Panama who do not share information with tax authorities of other countries, are used for shady dealings such as money laundering. Other times they are a vehicle for tax evasion. It is for this reason that decent politicians would never even consider having such structures in place and it is for this same exact reason that the tax audit requested by the Prime Minister is nothing but a sham. Ultimately this is an issue of political responsibility, of knowing what's moral and right and of choosing to act ethically.

Anyway, I have been working on the physics between balance and power or a class one lever. Kind of like if you had a sea saw out of balance it would take extra power to move the longer side. Less weight having to move a heavier and longer shaft. Each and every two hand rod we own has a different balance point given the weight of reel and line. Take any of your rods, strip off the amount of line that you most often use with that rod and then find the balance point. It might surprise you that it will not be even on the top grip. In my case it was three inches over the top grip today. I thought about how I could balance the rod for my practice and the electrical tape I used to secure the furls came in handy.
Balance each reel with lead core, if you must, to force the fulcrum point to exactly where you want it to be. It should be at the fulcrum or your top hand placement on the rod. Then give the rod a go and you will not believe the power you will generate with such little force.

Celtics land Horford for four years, $113 million
Sat., July 2, 2016
Al Horford ended the waiting game with a simple tweet: "Celtic Pride," it said, followed by 18 shamrocks.
The number might not have been a coincidence.
A franchise with 17 NBA championships may have gotten closer to contending for an 18th on Saturday, when Horford decided to accept a four-year, $113 million offer to join the Boston Celtics. Horford made the announcement on Twitter, and the terms of the detail were confirmed to The Associated Press by a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
As with nearly all free agent deals, sources are speaking on the condition of anonymity because no deals can be finalized until at least Thursday under league rules.
Horford wasted no time in changing his Twitter bio, which now says he is "Boston Celtics star Forward/Center Al Horford." And the reactions came in swiftly as well, after one of the biggest prizes in this year's free-agent sweepstakes decided to leave Atlanta.
"Let's get it," Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas wrote.
The Celtics won 48 games last season, finishing in a four-way tie for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. They have a strong young core already, a highly regarded coach in Brad Stevens, and had the money to land a huge free agent.
Horford also met with the Washington Wizards as well as the Hawks, the team that drafted him and the team he's now leaving. Horford spent his first nine NBA seasons in Atlanta, but the Hawks agreed to terms with Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore on big-money deals, leaving them little room for their centerpiece.
Atlanta could have made a trade or two to create enough room to keep him as well, but by Saturday Horford was already starting to look elsewhere.
The four-time All-Star averaged 15.2 points and 7.3 rebounds last season. He gives the Celtics a formidable presence on both ends of the floor as they try to vault into the top tier of the East.
In other dealings subject to Thursday's official announcements:
The 31-year-old Deng averaged 12.3 points and 6.0 rebounds for Miami last season. He has spent the last two years with the Heat.
The 28-year-old Anderson spent the past four seasons with New Orleans. He averaged 17 points and six rebounds last season.
Leuer averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Phoenix Suns last season, his fifth in the league
Afflalo averaged 12.8 points and shot 38 percent on 3-pointers for the New York Knicks last season, his ninth in the NBA.
Tolliver spent the past two seasons in Detroit, playing about 20 minutes a night as a reserve.

What insight do professional revenue management (RM) have about the future? A survey of 487 professionals found the future was going to be much more strategic in nature and will be more strongly driven by technology in which function space will be the new frontier. As technology evolves analytical pricing models and social networking/mobile technology are going to have a major impact on the future. Survey respondents think that the organization of the RM function is going to become more centralized, and that the skills required for a successful revenue manager are going to be a combination of analytical and communication abilities. As a consequence, performance measurement will move to total revenue or gross operating profit rather than by Revenue per available room.

- Be insured to cover legal costs if your will is challenged, and
- Follow a code of practice approved by the Trading Standards Institute
If you use a will writing service from your bank, you should still check for membership of one of these two organisations – writing wills is not covered by the same regulations as bank accounts or investments.
How will writing services work
Will writing services can work:
- Face-to-face
- Online and/or
- By post
Some banks offer a will writing service – ask yours if they can help. But make sure you check that you can choose your own executor as some banks charge a lot for this.
If you chose a face-to-face service, a will writer will usually make an appointment to come and see you at home.
They'll talk to you about your family and personal circumstances, including
- Your assets and who you would like your executors to be. Executors are the people who collect in your assets, pay any debts/taxes etc. and distribute them among the beneficiaries.
- Who you would like to benefit under your will and how (i.e. in what proportions, including specific gifts, charitable legacies and so on) and give you advice on the best way to organise it.
When they understand what you want, they'll draft your will for you.
With an online service you visit a website to answer questions about your will.
When you've finished, the service sends you a draft will by post or email for you and your witnesses to sign.
Some online services have a telephone helpline to help you with any questions, and some will let you speak to a specialist will writer before you start.
Free Consultation No Obligation available if you live in Bexhill, Hastings, Battle, Rye and anywhere in East Sussex.

The full title of this book by Gary Booth is
"Niche Marketing Expert: The Art of Selling to a Hungry Crowd".
In my review on Amazon, I gave the book a rating of Four Stars. This means I think it is Good and Well Worth Reading.
Here is my book review.
Internet MARKETING rather than INTERNET marketing
This is a book about Internet marketing but not about the technology side of building a website or getting more traffic. It's not about bright shiny objects and the next big thing that will prise money out of your wallet with a promise that you'll get rich, just like these other people.
Instead it's about choosing a niche, building a tribe and strengthening the relationship with them. Yes it's Internet MARKETING rather than INTERNET marketing. The difference is huge.
To help you to follow the process, the author provides you with spreadsheet templates that can be downloaded without any sign-up together with some "how to" videos since it is easier to show you rather than describe how to do various things on the Internet.
The first two parts of the book are very practical although the book needs to be updated for the replacement of Google Adplanner by Display Planner. In my experience, the author is correct in saying that most Internet marketers don't bother doing this type of thinking about their potential targeted customer and therefore set themselves up to fail.
The third step, about building the relationship with your tribe, skimps because this is the part where the author would like you on his email list by offering you the chance to join the List Building Bootcamp. Obviously, based on his methodology, you can expect offers to buy something to come along.
I can't make a comment on the list building course as the link provided didn't work when I typed it into my browser and I can't read it when I click on the embedded link in my kindle reader. Hey ho. I'm also confused by the author telling me that the training is free but not to sign up for the course, which I think the owner licenses, because it's "quite an expensive course".
The fourth part emphasises getting your message across in stories. That's a popular technique that is widely recommended but I have to admit that it rarely works with me. Too much too read, too little time is my problem when I'm looking at emails. He also recommends segmenting your main list which is excellent advice to keep your messages relevant.
This is a nice book for Internet marketers who are frustrated with what they've been doing and sick of learning technique after technique with little or no financial rewards but you have to do the exercises. Otherwise it becomes just another cost and waste of your time.
If I hadn't experienced the link problem, I'd say that it was an even better example of how to put the ideas into practice by building a tribe and even getting the people to pay for the privilege.
While it puts the emphasis on marketing, I don't think it's suitable for a business owner that doesn't intend to promote on the Internet. However I do think that it's useful for someone who wants to sell services on a website rather than affiliate products.

Vanilla Ice denies dissing Justin Bieber
HollywoodNews.com: It was recently reported that Vanilla Ice had dissed Justin Bieber by claiming that his career won't last for long, but now he is denying the quotes.
Vanilla Ice (Rob Van Winkle) was quoted by 'The Huffington Post Canada' as saying, "My prediction about Bieber is that he's going to go through one of those weekends that lasts a few years because he's had such success as a child act. Then something else new will come along and he'll be forgotten and he can try to put all the pieces back together, so it's going to be entertaining to watch," states Access Hollywood.
However, now he claims he never said any of this: "This is not a true quote, it's a flat out lie. I am friends with Justin Bieber and his family, I think he is talented and will be around for a long time."
However, 'The Huffington Post Canada' is sticking by their story and claim to have the audio. They also report that maybe he doesn't recall the quotes because the interview was done in June but not released until now.
Do you think he said it?

On Nov. 3, Texas voters will have the opportunity to approve Proposition 7, a constitutional referendum that will provide a new, stable source of funding for transportation in Texas, dedicated to the construction and maintenance of roads.
Proposition 7 would direct a portion of general sales and motor vehicle sales tax to the State Highway Fund, providing a steady, consistent funding source for transportation projects across the state without raising taxes. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Texas needs an additional $5 billion a year on top of the approximately $10 billion it currently receives to maintain current road conditions and accommodate future growth. Proposition 1 in 2014 provided $1.7 billion towards this amount. The Legislative Budget Board estimates that $2.5 billion would be allocated to the State Highway Fund each year in FY 2018 and 2019, and close to $3 billion each year starting in FY 2020, if Proposition 7 is approved by voters. Proposition 7 would not increase taxes.
The Partnership's Transportation in Texas Toolkit includes several templates and sample content to help you and your company or organization support the Partnership's grassroots effort to ensure passage of Proposition 7 on the November ballot.
All tool kit materials are available here.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce hereby recommends to our Executive Board and Directors to pass and support a YES vote for Proposition 7 on the November 3, 2015 General Election Ballot.
WHEREAS, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the first Hispanic Chamber in the U.S., representing more than 1,250 businesses in the greater San Antonio area, fully supports Proposition 7 and encourages it's respective constituencies to vote YES in November election.
WHEREAS, Proposition 7 will ensure long-term solutions for Texas' transportation problems. The State Highway Fund hasn't received enough financial support to keep up with the rapidly growing Texas economy. Proposition 7 would dedicate about $2.5 billion in already-collected tax revenue to our roads and infrastructure so that long-term transportation projects would have secure funding.
WHEREAS, Proposition 7 will get the $2.5 billion mostly from the state sales tax, with additional funding coming from the motor vehicle sales and rental tax. Proposition 7 will not raise taxes, but will only take from the already-existing revenue funds and these funds will not be allocated to toll-road projects.
WHEREAS, by setting aside this money, the State will be able to make better plans and timetables for future transportation projects, which will make them more efficient and less costly to taxpayers. Proposition 7 will ensure Texas gets better and safer roads for long-term and into the future.
WHEREAS, the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber will communicate this position to and take the following actions as the advocacy for this endeavor unfolds;
- Communicate this position to local/regional media outlets, Hispanic Chamber members, leaders in our community and feature on the Hispanic Chamber's website www.sahcc.org.
- The Hispanic Chamber will act as an advocate for Proposition 7 in the business and at large communities.
- The Hispanic Chamber will collaborate with other organizations seeking to promote these advancements to provide adequate resources and education on said endeavor.
- The Hispanic Chamber will monitor the implementation of these funds and seek to make necessary policy recommendations to local/regional elected officials to strengthen this endeavor for our city.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that through this endeavor, San Antonio will join the ranks of other national cities who currently count on adequate funding for roads and statewide infrastructure in their communities.
IN CONCLUSION, be it resolved and approved this the 30th day of September, 2015 in a vote of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber's Board of Directors.
Statutory Clause: The San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recommends that minority, local, small and women-owned businesses are highly considered, when public and private contracts are set to bid for capital infrastructure and professional service improvements. San Antonio is a city that is more than 60% minority in population, with local ready, willing, and able taxpaying contractors that are very competitive and qualified. We recommend that the proposed project and its funding recommended in this resolution stay local, in order for awarded contracts to mirror the diversity of the San Antonio business community.

Amate Audio has added the N318 to its Nítid active loudspeaker series – an integrated, full-range, three-way active PA cabinet, with 18-inch and 12-inch transducers, a 1.75-inch diaphragm horn-loaded compression driver, with onboard third-generation class-D amplification and DSP system control platform. The N318 delivers 3.2kW of power and 133dB SPL.
The cabinet configuration – an evolution of vintage 2x15-inch systems – is one that Amate Audio has developed consistently over many years; the format having been a feature of its product portfolio through several iterations. With improved specifications and several new design innovations, the N318 claims an 'all-round leap in performance in terms of sonic power and quality, operational versatility and ease of use'.
A more powerful amplifier platform – 2.4kW (LF) + 800W (MF/HF) – drives a 4-inch voice coil 18-inch LF driver, 3-inch voice coil neodymium 12-inch driver, and an all-new PM4 1.75-inch diaphragm compression driver, mated to a long-throw horn. The mid-range transducer assembly features a purpose-designed phase plug for the 12-inch driver, creating two separate in-phase output sources for better controlled horizontal directivity. Increased compression in the 12-inch driver also boosts its output.
Improved output levels and frequency consistent directivity combine with higher signal resolution and audio fidelity, so that the N318 delivers exceptional sound quality over a longer throw with wider horizontal coverage. Characteristics that equip the N318 for wide range of medium and large scale indoor and outdoor sound applications, with equal efficacy in FOH PA and side-fill and drum stage monitoring roles.
DSP system control is accessed via proprietary SensitiveTouch keypad technology (with no mechanical components or moving parts) from the rear mounted control panel with LCD, and includes five-band EQ, crossovers, up to 118ms/40m delay line, limiter, gain control, mute and input dynamic compressor. Additionally, powerful application optimised plug-and-play presets enable virtually instantaneous setup and optimum operation.
The ultra-thin speaker grille design created by Amate Audio's research team, provides robust protection but with a 67 per cent perforation coefficient, offering sonic transparency. The Polyurea finish provides durable protection for the birch-ply cabinet, while electronic circuits and controls are smartly protected against moisture. The backlit logo can be switched off or switched to indicate when the system is limiting. Amate Audio's universal switch mode power supply, providing 90 per cent efficiency power supply to the amplifier circuitry for maximum power delivery with minimum consumption, enables operation with any mains condition between 85 and 265V AC.
Despite the N318's displacement and power, it weight 67kg and with its tilt and roll design – with fixed rear mounted wheels and ergonomic handles – a single person can handle and rapidly move the cabinet into position. Additionally, M8 rigging points provide for easy flying.
'An easily deployed all-in-one solution, the system can be rapidly moved into position, stacked or flown, to provide a high-quality, high-output main PA or stage fill monitors,' says VP and Chief Technical Officer, Joan Amate. 'Its power and coverage makes equally ideal in venue or outdoor event applications.
'This is a speaker configuration that has served us well over the years and that we have continued to re-engineer and evolve. The N318 takes the format to a new power and performance high.'

Kerry drops ball on Egypt
Secretary of State John Kerry spent the last few weeks believing that U.S. policy in Egypt would best be served by negotiating with Interim Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei, the former United Nations diplomat from Vienna who resigned his post after just 30 days, said a senior U.S. State Department official in Cairo.
"ElBaradei was the wrong guy to negotiate with, but 'S' believed he would be able to convince Mansour and [General] Sisi. State worked almost exclusively through the guy that ended up resigning after 30 days on the job," said the official, denoting Secretary Kerry with the State Department's standard, "S" referral.
While Kerry instructed State Department officials to focus on appealing to the former UN official-turned-failed-presidential candidate, the U.S. Department of Defense officials dealt with General Sisi, the top military official. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham flew to Egypt and met with Sisi in early August for what one official described to me as "an early attempt to show the U.S. was united." Following the meeting and in the eight days leading up to the August 14 eruption of sectarian violence, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel reportedly called Sisi upwards of 11 times to try and calm the situation while Kerry continued to work ElBaradei. Neither was successful in their efforts.
Yet the Obama administration pressed on — or rather, failed to press on with their diplomatic strategy of going through ElBaradei. President Obama and the first family began their eight-day vacation to Martha's Vineyard on August 10 believing the Secretary Kerry-VP ElBaradei gamble would work. Though it was clear by the time Obama finished his first round of golf that Kerry's strategy was failing, the President decided to stay with the Kerry plan. National Security Adviser Susan Rice, too, waited for Kerry.
The same U.S. official in Cairo said, "DoD was trying to convince General Sisi. I didn't see the NSC very active. They deferred to the Kerry-ElBaradei discussions and that proved to be a huge mistake. They blew it by believing in ElBaradei."
Most U.S. officials and commentators, however, knew (and even publicly stated) that the former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency was too new to popular politics to be effective. ElBaradei was more comfortable discussing Egypt's future in a Viennese café than in the streets of Tahrir Square, and his failed presidential campaign was never able to garner the mass support of even those with whom he most closely aligned.
James Poulos, writing in Forbes, stated as early as July 6: "It's very hard to see how much traction he could get as the voice of a new era in Egyptian politics. He's running plays from a liberalization playbook that's decades old — not just pre-Arab Spring, but pre-9/11, pre-Internet."
Yet Obama trusted the long-time friendship of Kerry and ElBaradei. Then-Sen. Kerry and ElBaradei spent years discussing how best to block the George W. Bush administration's policies on Iraq, Iran and North Korea during ElBaradei's tenure at the IAEA. ElBaradei even helped former Sen. Kerry during his failed 2004 presidential campaign against then-President Bush by publicly confronting the U.S. president on several foreign policy fronts from his UN seat. Shockingly, on Oct. 25, 2004, just days before the U.S. presidential election between Kerry and Bush, ElBaradei was accused of trying to influence the U.S. elections in favor of his friend John Kerry by releasing a UN report on missing weapons in Iraq, a report ElBaradei held for weeks.
The two former failed presidential candidates thought they were finally leading the countries they love this week. For a few days, it must have felt like old times for the diplomats as they sat scheming Egypt's future together. It's just too bad that President Obama allowed Kerry and ElBaradei another shot at what was clearly a diplomatic waste of time.
