Living the Highlife as a Basketball Role Player in the Sloop

We know athletes get paid well, but damn I wish I was taller and I wish I was a baller.

NBA Journeyman, Charles Oakley, who played for the Chicago Bulls and four other teams during his 19 year career, is apparently selling his 3 bedroom condo in the Sloop according to the Tribune. Looks like he had some amazing views from his living room.

It looks like he lives in Museum Park One, the South Loop's most prominent building with what has to be some of the best views in the city. Or is this an older building that now has its North view (which is Grant Park) blocked by Museum Park One? We're not sure, but regardless wouldn't mind chilling in this living room.

I believe it to be one building south of Museum Place. Check out the link for the actual listing:

Also says he purchased in 2005, don't think you could throw down that early for One Museum Park.

First, it's "role" player. Second, to last 19 years in the NBA, lead the league in rebounding more than once, make an all star team, you're more than a "role" player. Role players are guys like Dickie Simpkins, Omer Asik, and Brian Scalabrine.

19 years? please.

David said...

These days, he just poses as MJ's bodyguard.

You lost all credibilty by pooling Omer with guys like dickie and Scalabrine.

Also, Charles Oakley a.k.a Oak Tree
was a borderline dirty ass player...I would buy the joint just to store my crap in it.

Anonymous said...

2.9 PPG and 3.7 RPG while being the tallest guy on the court...ROLE PLAYER.

Yes he's got time to grow/mature. But the odds are on my side: he's white.

Anonymous said...

Definitely not OMP (it's 233 E 13th, aka Museum Pointe), and this building isn't all that great either. Not a lot of skyline visible from this unit at this location. I've looked at condos in this building, was not impressed.

At 1 million you can get a 3 bed in OMP...

BRENDAN said...

ANON 12:30

Didnt I tell you you credibility was destroyed?

Scalabrine barely dressed for games last year....I wouldnt compare him to an up and coming defensive talent at center. PPG rarely is an indicator of a Centers SHOULD know this. His rebound numbers are scewed because of playing time in the first half. Noboday ever cheered when dickie came off the bench and scalabrine literally doesnt play so ...... yeah. Pretty sure I win here.

Anonymous said...

Cheering when this clown comes of the bench is simply due to the fact that the Bulls have terrible options at center.

You'll win this one in the year 2030, when Omer is just finishing up year 20 in the league.

Are you 24 years old by chance?

You and Hawk Harrelson could have great conversations about sports. He building a an all star team made entirely of White Sox, you doing the same with the Bulls.

Anonymous said...

Omer's averaged 11:35 minutes per game pre all star break and 13:05 post. So he got an extra 90 seconds to dominate in the latter half of the year, you're right.

BRENDAN said...

People with knowledge of the NBA feel that Omer Asik came off the bench and ignited this team defensivly and would have aided this team to a championship had he not broken his ankle late. There are people who look at and immediately look up "ppg" ( thats you--dumbass) and then there are people that know and can break down the NBA in a more complex manner i.e. defensive schemes, player disruption. My feeling after hearing your arguments is that the latter is not for you....rather, its a little too "lofty" for you.

From your comments I have decided that you're probably a columbia college student, originally from a rich suburb outside of Detroit, and playing in the condo mommy and daddy bought you. You're obviously a pistons fan because I have had the "pleasure" of dealing with you people're straight up haters and you basically fail at everything.

My advise to you is to move back home, stop hating on the Bulls with your jealous tirades and learn to show some respect for your elders.....after all, we will all be your boss someday, punk. run along, go play on the Dan Ryan.

Can't we all just get along...

Anonymous said...

I see we are done discussing the topic at hand. When you have to defend a guy by saying his benefit is in "player disruption" and "defensive schemes" (no further detail provided), I've got news for you, you're talking about a role player.

I am from Chicago, am supremely educated and have more equity in the condos in my name than you'd know how to spend in 100 years of Saturday nights in Boystown.

If Omer makes it to 2030, or even makes one all star team, you win. Otherwise, get back to work - I'm sure you owe it to your foreman at this point. But hey - your union contract stipulates you're done at 5! That's less than an hour away!

BRENDAN said...

Jeff no one believes your internet lies.

Go back to detroit. lol!

MarkChicago said...

"supremely educated"

Professor Papa John taught you well.

Anonymous said...

sloop (n):

Written waste - bigoted, inane, offensive, or otherwise - that inevitably exits the minds of Sloopin commenters.

As in, this discussion has turned to sloop.

BRENDAN said...

"sit back, relax, and strap it down......jeff's internet lies comin' yo way!"

joe said...

So you're saying Omer Asik comes off the bench for defensive energy? That is his role and makes him by definition a role player. When Ben Gordon comes off the bench he's a role player in that he has one skill and does it well.

Don't get high and mighty when you don't know what you're talking about.

Oak must be losing a lot of money in the casinos with Jordan. 19 years in the NBA should be able to buy a lot more than that.

Jeff said...

That was a different Jeff.

Anonymous said...

Are you serious? In the last week alone a woman was held up by gunpoint @ 14th and Indiana, and a man was badly beaten by a mob of 10-20 at Clark and Cermak, and we are on here talking about Oak Tree's condo sale?

BRENDAN said...

no one is getting high and mighty, relax.

I didnt say asik is the next coming of tim duncan, but to compare him to a guy like scalabrine who doesnt even dress for wrong. if you feel otherwise then im sorry you are ridiculous too.

Be well.

’10 to Track” soccer matches for Relegation Monday (5/21) – the suckitude returns!

It’s a Relegation mashup today!   When the schedules are light on Mondays, we here embrace the pain of, get to know and celebrate teams in position to get Demoted.

Today, there are several matches of happier importance as well, so enjoy the remix of sorts.

  1. Montreal Impact vs. LA Galaxy – MLS

It may be just the Eastern Conference 10th place side versus #9 in the West, but it’s the only major game in the U.S. today!

For the rawest Noobites, the name to know for this game is Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  He’s a Swedish national who was once perhaps the greatest player in the world.  He still thinks of himself as such, and that makes him super-fun.

And we should get a chance to see Zlatan – and others – score plenty.  Montreal are so bad in their own end, I wonder if they would even try defending their mother’s honor.   (3:00 PM Eastern, NBA League Pass 6)

RESULT:   L.A.   0-1    This, despite Zlatan getting a red card for slapping an opposing player in the side of the head.  The Galaxy climb to 7th.

Image result for ladies love zlatan

Zlatan is ready to attack or defend against whatever.

B.  Dundalk vs. Waterford – League of Ireland Premier

After a middling season last year, Waterford have had a magical stay near top of the table in 2018.  But they are fading.  Still 3rd-place, but they haven’t won in four straight matches now.

Dundalk are trending the other way, leading the league by two points in the standings.  They’ve scored 11 goals in their last four matches (including a League Cup game).

RESULT:   Dundalk   2-0

Image result for irish letter B

A bit cliche, Number B.

But you do wear the hat well.

  1. Derry City vs. Bray Wanderers – League of Ireland Premier

Bray are mired so deeply in last place, they can’t even see the sun.  But they did defeat #5 Derry 2-1 in their most recent meeting!  Derry scores in droves, but can’t defend.  Bray can’t do either.

Fun Fact:  Bray have won the second-tier three times in club history.  (They’ve never done jack squat in Premier.)

RESULT:   Derry   2-0

  1. Brondby vs. Aalborg – Denmark Superliga

For Danish teams competing in the championship subdivision, this is the last match day.  (Relegation subdivision will have still more flailing to do.)  And the title is still up for grabs!

Brondby led all season, but have slipped to #B here at the end, trailing Midtjylland by two points in the table.  They get a very mediocre 5th-place Aalborg team that isn’t playing for anything.  But Midtjylland is hosting 6th-place Horsens and probably spanks them.

RESULT:   1-1      And so it’s congratulations to league champs Midtjylland!

Image result for soccer spanking

<—- Gratuitous soccer spanking image

  1. Randers vs. Lyngby – Denmark Superliga

Doesn’t Lyngby sounds like something one might spread over toast in the morning?  It does to Noob.  It sounds tart and delicious.  I once saw a promo on tv for a program about the history of toast.  But I didn’t watch it.  I mean, I like toast, but c’mon.

Noob?  It’s The ManagementYour doing that thing we talked about.

Unsubstantiated!   I am not wearing my Burger King King mask.  You said that commercial campaign was creepy, and I’m trying to take your word for it.  I –

No.  The other thing.

Right!  Um, Relegation match in Denmark.  Winner is the best of the worst four finishers in the league, gets to stay up.  Loser will vie with others lowbies for a while longer.

RESULT:   Randers   2-1   And so they save their own skin for another top-flight season.

  1. Poli Timisoara vs. Gaz Metan Medias – Romania Liga I

Juventus Bucaresti are already slated for demotion. Poli Timisoara sit in the other auto-Relegation slot currently.  But there are still five teams very much in the loser-mix.

GMM have actually won a few matches since the league divided into championship and relegation subdivisions, but both these teams have run hot and cold in both ends of the field for weeks now.

RESULT:   0-0

Image result for timmaay

Fun Fact:  Big Timisoara supporter

  1. Elfsborg vs. Goteborg – Sweden Allsvenskanliga

Elfsborg, what happened to your offense?  Even as a mid-table team last summer, you were prolific in that regard!  Now?  League’s worst. Third-to-last place.

Fun Fact:  Noob thinks Elfsborg isn’t even real.  Isn’t it the name of that big elf-town on LOTR?

RESULT:   1-1

  1. Pirin Blagoevgrad vs. Vitosha Bistritsa – Bulgaria First Pro League

These are the two losers from the first round of this league’s Relegation Playoffs.  The loser of this match is done, demoted to Liga II for next season.  The winner will have to win a one-off match with a designated, current Liga II team in order to stay up.

Bistritsa, we’ve hardly known ye.  They won no matches in the regular season, and just one during the Relegation subdivision group stage of the season.  They were promoted last season after finishing 3rd in the second-tier First League.

RESULT:   Bistritsa   1-2     It’s a Relegation Monday miracle!

Image result for vitosha bistritsa watercourse

Fun Fact:  Vitosha Bistritsa is the name of a waterway as well.

  1. Weiner Neustadt vs. Wacker Innsbruck – Austria First League

Congrats, Wacker Innsbruck, you’ve clinched a top-two finish and promotion to your nation’s Bundesliga!  How will you celebrate today?

With the Weiner-Wacker derby.

Damn right you will!

RESULT:   Neustadt   1-0

  1. Qabala vs. Qarabag – Kazakhstan Premier

Way to go, Qarabag!  They’ve run away with the league title this year.  Qarabag are #B and have clinched a top-four finish and berth to the next Europa League.  So little is on the line here.

But Noob cannot resist the allure of #1 versus #B.  I don’t even try.

RESULT:   Qarabag   0-1

Image result for kazakhstan potassium mining

So long from Kazakhstan!

Still an awesome exporter of potassium.

It's hard to be myself

Posted 23rd July 2019 at 19:58 by mutedsoul

I spent the last hour procrastinating on writing this. That must say something. I'm feel both motivated and deterred to write this.

A few weeks ago in a Whats App convo my cousin said about how I was always so serious and that I should be myself. This advice was similar to ther ex-colleague who ghosted me prior to her ghosting me.

Weirdly, or not so weirdly, right now I feel a bit angry with my cousin and like I don't want to connect with her. Not just for her telling...

Big Data Analytics

Big data analytics is the use of advanced analytic techniques against very large, diverse data sets that include structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, from different sources, and in different sizes from terabytes to zettabytes.
Big data is a term applied to data sets whose size or type is beyond the ability of traditional relational databases to capture, manage and process the data with low latency. Big data has one or more of the following characteristics: high volume, high velocity or high variety. Artificial intelligence (AI), mobile, social and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving data complexity through new forms and sources of data. For example, big data comes from sensors, devices, video/audio, networks, log files, transactional applications, web, and social media — much of it generated in real time and at a very large scale.
Analysis of big data allows analysts, researchers and business users to make better and faster decisions using data that was previously inaccessible or unusable. Businesses can use advanced analytics techniques such as text analytics, machine learning, predictive analytics, data mining, statistics and natural language processing to gain new insights from previously untapped data sources independently or together with existing enterprise data.

Enable Remote Support

Return to support page home

Page updated 17 February 2013

Quick Links

Why Should I want to Give Access to someone Else?

When using computers we all have problems from time to time where we need a little help. Even so-called "experts". sometimes resort to Google to get an answer but there are often circumstances when the results returned are confusing or even, in some cases, malicious or misguided.

Experience helps to evaluate such search results but it may be better, if there is doubt, to ask for some guidance just in case you make things worse. Examples where you should leave well alone include changes to the Registry unless you know what you are doing. Unless you have a good reason, e.g. detailed step by step instructions on a reputable manufacturer's web site, - DON'T DO IT. Similarly Registry Cleaners - even ones that are recommended - are to be used with great care. If you don't know WHY you are doing it DON'T. Ask for help!

Do not allow anyone who you do not trust completely to remotely connect to your computer. With this remote access technology they will have full access to your computer and would be able to read any files or open any email. You do not even have to be there. The computer just has to be switched on! By following these instructions you are accepting that you acknowledge this warning and give your full permission for me to access this your computer. This applies to John Steele or any other delegated administrator. On my part I will agree to only access your computer for the purpose agreed and when we agree. If I should delegate access to another person it will again only be with your express agreement.

The Program Used

TEAMVIEWER is a remote access program that is designed for use by Helpdesks. This replaces the LOGMEIN programs that was previously used for support as it is much easier for a user to install and then ask for remote support.

This service is offered principally to GXCC club members and please be aware that it may not be possible to give immediate help as John is working full time. Non members with problems may also contact me to discuss terms and can sometimes be supported depending on how complex the problem is and the urgency.

No guarantees can be given however as to whether problems can be solved, although every effort will be made to ensure that at least the situation is not made any worse.

Before agreeing yo permit me to control your computer it suggested that you visit the site and check that the security offered is acceptable. If you install the sortware, and give me the appropriate passwords, you are giving me permission to access your computer and you are willing to trust me with all of your data

Subject to your antivirus and firewall settings John will then be able to install/uninstall software, reboot your machine (even into Safe Mode) etc.

There may be some AV and firewall packages that need settings to be altered to enable remote control. They are quite legitimately protecting against remote applications making changes to the system. this is very good for the defence of your computer but it prevents me from helping you! I have not yet found any such packages that affect TeamViewer but be prepared that this might be an issue.

Detailed Installation Instructions

TeamViewer is very easy to set up. You should download one of the two versions before you request access.

For further information visit the TeamViewer site

TeamViewer also provides a "Chat"  facility so that John can communicate with you. If appropriate Voice communication can be used if your computer has sound and a microphone. It can even set up video communication but his is not normally necessary for support.

John can transfer files to and from his machine which can be useful for error logs for example.

With the full install (see below) John can, with your permission, set up reboot into safe mode and unattended access so that TeamViewer starts automatically when the computer is started. This is optional and does not affect the levelk of support if you are present.

Note that support can be requested from ANYONE that has the full version of TeamViewer installed. This is very different from the previous support program used, Logmein.

Option 1

Download the Quick Access aplication from the following link

Run the program, this version does not need to be installed. It will display a dialog box containingthe following information.

Your ID

<some numbers>

<some letter/number>

The nine numbers displayed in the field following "Your ID" refer to your computer and will always be the same on that computer.

The characters displayed in the field following "Password" will be different each time the program is run.

Contact John by telephone or email and give him those two items. As the password changes each time TeamViewer is run there is little risk in emailing the password. John will then be able to connect to your computer and take over the keyboard and mouse and begin to do whatever is necessary.

There is an option to automatically upgrade to option 2 which John will only do if you give explicit permission.

Option 2

Download the full installable version from the following link

This version needs to be installed but provides more options.

By default it will only run when you initiate it but it can be set to run automatically when Windows starts.

John will sometimes need to know your normal user names and passwords depending on what support is required.

Functionally it appears the same as with option 1.

Just run the installed program and contact John with the User ID and Password and he can then connect to your machine.

John can, with your permission, set up a standard string password which is always the same and then connect to your machine with a single click. The user credentials are stored in a secure password manager, KeePass, and are strongly encrypted.

Japan is such a special place. Its car culture runs so deep and is so widespread it’s almost unbelievable it manages to stay so detached from the mainstream. If you live your day to day life in Japan your exposure to cars will be very uninspiring, a sea of vans of all sizes, eco cars and the odd import make up the majority of the carscape on the roads. Ads on TV are the same, everything is eco-related, nothing that unleashes even the remotest of emotion. Dig a bit deeper however, and you will be astonished at your findings. That is what Retro Car Kings is all about. This all new program which I worked on earlier in the year will air on Discovery Channel Japan this coming Saturday at 5 pm and will showcase shops that we all know and love, places like RWB, TA-Auto and Rocky Auto as well as others we have yet to cover on Speedhunters. For now the program will only be aired in Japan but maybe will be shown elsewhere in the near future through the power of the internet.

Really wish this was broadcasting on American cable providers! Hopefully it will be readily available to stream online. Looks pretty interesting.

Did you work with luke on this as well?

Why can't US Discovery Channel have car shows like this? I'm tired of all these crap car shows about a bunch of people trying to make a quick buck off crap restorations.

need to see this!!

@ToneDiez Send messages it!  The show is bi-lingual so ready to go to US/UK & anywhere!

@777 Yup, Luke took care of a great deal of the footage actually.  I helped put the program together and am the "resident" expert haha

@Frozzy Send feedback in!  I'm sure they would like to hear what people have to say!

Ok , now you internet guys, listen
Somebody, some people that do anime subs perhaps? (maybe initial D fansubs) has to rip it from japanese TV and subtitle it for the rest of the world!

@speedhunters_dino  @ToneDiez Bi-lingual? ok sorry if i get too much ahead on this, or if i am doing an impossible request, but: The same way speedhunters make special postings with japanese text, to reach more japanese readers , i think if/when this show is avaliable with english subtitles/voice acting (i am personally not a fan of dubbing real people, i'd rather leave the voice acting to animation)  you guys should do another post telling when it will air on the US/UK tv. The reason for that is, that us, people from the rest of the world, will have more chance to reach the content, since english is a language that more people (from south america, africa, europeans, etc ) have access to.
BTW, great work Dino, as always!

@speedhunters_dino yep, i'm not sure where i heard it, could be the MM page, but  i did see something about some show on discovery japan, good luck with the project though, would really like to see it succeed and spread

Looks like it'd be a good show, better than most of the dribble on Japanese tv anyway lol

Hope it will be aired in south east asia as soon as possible.

@TEC Might actually make it to SEA :)

@777 Thanks!

Like all the great japanese cars the US missed out on, once again we will be deprived of another great thing in japanese automotive culture. This would be a great hit on their Velocity channel. They can afford to show one less muscle car show (they all end up looking the same anyways, torque thrust wheels again? what a surprise!) . This and wheeler dealers for my UK fix and ill never have to change the channel

EVERY time Dino posts something I'm like "Wish I was Japan.... *grumbles*"

Hey fellow speedhunters, take a minute and send Discovery your thoughts on the matter:

@Slight Thank you for adding the link Slight!  Please, the more people that write in the higher the chances!!

@SVT_Bryan It's only a flight away....

Write in and tell them directly!

@mbretschneider  @ToneDiez Thanks, no dubbing, sub-titles and the commentary is in English or Japanese.  Write to Discovery here!

Japan gets all the cool things :(

Trust Discovery to desecrate, sensationalize and turn something I like into something that will make me cringe.

It's not a news event, it's not life altering, it's a show about cars, people passionate about cars, and people who are fortunate enough to have turned their passion and talent into a commodity that other people want.  This blog probably has more subscribers than this Discovery Japan show will have viewers.  Certainly doesn't appear to be tainted with the soap-opera esque feel some of the US shows like this have.  Though, they can be entertaining too when taken in the correct light.  Why is everyone so negative as soon as anything they though was "just for them" is broadcast to a wider audience. Is it only cool to you because it was 'underground'?  Sort of insulting to those featured on the show, no?  Surely they, as the artisans and crafts-men that keep that segment of the hobby on the forefront, they saw a benefit to doing the show in the first place.  Were the Best Motoring DVD's cringe-worthy?  Cheesy at times yes, (part of their charm), but certainly exposed many of us to cars that previously only existed in print.  I will agree, lots of the media stuff in this industry can be awful.  But that doesn't mean everything is.  The skills the people featured in the show posses, the passion the owners and builders of the cars have isn't minimized because someone does an article or tv show featuring them.

What? No. Discovery Channel sucks. That's all.

 I asked them to bring it over to the States. If anything it may end up here on Velocity since that channel is mostly automotive shows. I love that channel.

@speedhunters_dino  Done!

Hi awesome show where can it be downloaded from as I can't find it anywhere on torrent sites? Does Speedhunters sell it as a DVD?

Who was producing those awesome retro red bike, couldnt catch the name.

Just developed some scripts to assist blogging on my BlogSite. To do so I did some “Monkeys on a Typewriter Coding” using PowerShell. This site is a custom Jekyll-Markdown site. I wanted a couple of scripts to generate a new blog post using metadata obtained from command line parameters and a menu. I could have coded them in Jekyll but chose to do in it in PowerShell.

I have discussed the functionality of these scripts on another post here: This blog site construction-Latest. It has links to the code that will be reused here. On this page I want to focus upon the PowerShell functionality gleamed from searching the internet. The code has references to where hints or solutions to the functionality was found, much like a “Dear Diary”.

No. Script & Link Description
1 set-path.ps1 Sets the PowerShell prompt path to include the location of these scripts
2 jekyll-clean.ps1 Clean built site as well as some custom generated pages to do with categories and tags
3 new-post.ps1 Generate a templated new post as Markdown file with FrontMatter from supplied metadata
4 new-post-yml.ps1 Same as previous but uses Categories from sections.yml for Category selection menu

The following table lists some PowerShell functionality implemented (not in any particular order) in these scripts.
Browse through the scripts 2,3 and 4 (unless otherwise stated) to see how to implement the functionality and to read further:

GSO Test

We consider the teaching and learning of sport and games to be an important element in the overall development of children.

The basic skills required by children develop gradually through the playing of small-sided games and appropriate versions of team games such as netball, stoolball, rounders, cricket and hockey.

During Key Stage 2, some children will be involved in inter-school tournaments against other local rural schools in sports such as football, netball, rugby and stoolball.

Besides team games, we also teach sporting activities such as tennis, gymnastics, swimming and athletics.

 The school holds two sports days during the summer term, one for the whole school and a second focussing on KS2.

Key Stage 2 pupils have the opportunity to attend swimming lessons during the spring or summer term.

Sports Premium

At St Giles we have received additional funding known as the Sports Premium to widen participation and boost competition in PE.

We subscribe to Mid Sussex Active (MSA) which give a range of benefits including:

  • Sports Crew Training to teach Year 6 pupils how to lead sports activities for younger children
  • Professional training courses for staff to improve subject expertise
  • Year round calendar of competitions for us to be involved in such as handball, netball, basketball, athletics and tag rugby.
  • The remaining funds are being used to provide specialist teaching, training and resources.

Drysol vs. Maxim antiperspirant

Drysol antiperspirant is an antiperspirant used for excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis. Drysol has been used by dermatologists since the early 1960's. Drysol contains 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate in an alcohol carrier. Drysol can be a very good product as a last resort. Drysol can also have draw backs. The main draw back to Drysol is that Drysol can cause major skin irritation, swelling, redness and itching. Drysol can cause these adverse reactions due to the high concentration of Drysol's 20% aluminum chloride. You also need a prescription to use Drysol and Drysol is not easily obtainable on the web because you have to buy Drysol from Canada.

Looking for a prescription strength antiperspirant that doesn't cause irritation like Drysol? Try Maxim antiperspirant. Maxim antiperspirant contains 15% aluminum chloride hexahydrate in an aqueous base and is significantly less irritating than Drysol. In a recent clinical study, Maxim reduced heavy perspiration by nearly 70%. Patients using Maxim have also benefited from Maxim Sensitive.

About Cape Coral

Cape Coral

Cape Coral is a city where a vision became reality. It was in 1957 when Jack and Leonard Rosen, two entrepreneurial brothers from Baltimore, purchased the peninsula on the Caloosahatchee River across from Fort Myers and shortly thereafter turned the approximately 100 square miles of swamp land into a fast growing city.

The property was divided by the newly formed Gulf American Land Corporation into thousands of buildable lots, many of them located on newly dug canals. Aggressive marketing in the entire U.S. followed. Potential buyers were brought into town by plane, with today’s Del Prado Blvd. serving as a landing strip. The first single family homes were already completed in May 1958, with a prime location right on the river.

Interview: global anti-prostitution policy

SWAN News: How do American sex workers feel about the US prostitution policy abroad?
The sex worker activists I have worked with are angry, sad and disempowered by the [anti-prostitution] Pledge, the devastating impact this has on the lives of sex workers around the world and the ways this has effected our communities, rendering us estranged from broader liberal/left communities.

SN: Are American sex workers affected by the anti-prostitution pledge and Trafficking In Person report?
We are effected in that there is a general repression of sex worker rights in tandem with the values of the pledge. Even US-based groups which work in the US are impacted. We often (rightly) note that funding for sex workers who are less-than-repentant, who don't see all sex work as trafficking, is scarce. To a long time activist who saw the HIV/AIDS health activists rally to support sex workers, this turn of events represents a serious step backward in sex worker rights. Many organizations and activists seem to keep their distance from sex worker rights activists, and that was not so much the case in the late 80s and early 90s. This is disheartening, however the sex workers' movement has a great momentum and is growing.

I personally feel hope and look forward to dedicated activism targeting the [anti-prostitution] Pledge. I believe this is one of the primary issues and the sex worker rights perspectives will come to the forefront soon. The anti-trafficking/anti-prostitution movement will take some time to "wind down", however.

SN: Does it feel like anything has changed for sex workers' rights under President Obama (in the US and abroad)?
Secretary Sebelius threw us under the bus in her last modification of funding guidelines. Obama has a tendency to choose a "bipartisan" strategy, and one of the few things that the Republicans and Democrats can collaborate on is finding ways to increase repression of sex work, and, of course, exporting that ideology globally.

SN: Did the American petition against the anti-prostitution pledge have any positive outcomes?
Secretary Sebelius ignored the petitions, not admitting that she received 4 or 5 hundred signatures. Instead, in her report, she mentioned only a few letters, on both sides. The positive outcomes include a first step in organizing on a broad basis as a response to the Pledge. The 2005 petition which 200 global organizations signed on to had little success in terms of effecting policy, but did go far in educating left/liberal communities.

SN: What strategies would you recommend to sex workers all over the world to pressure the US government for change?
We launch a targeted, focused international campaign. An international petition would be valuable even as a teaching tool. It has also been apparent to me that sex worker activists from the US receive little or no support for work addressing these issues. This is starting to change, but I noticed, since the advent of this wave of repression, that sex worker activists are not included as PARTNERS with non-sex worker organizations, that funding opportunities often exclude US-based sex worker activists and that there has been a lack of support, especially when compared to conditions in the response to the AIDS crisis.

Definition: "treatment to destroy harmful micro organisms"

—Princeton University, WordNet

triclosan / triclocarban and alcohol-based hand sanitizers

Triclosan and ethyl alcohol-based hand sanitizers are everywhere and have long been believed to kill all microbes. But scientific researches have proved different. Triclosan can breed what scientists call "superbugs," e.g. MRSA, that are resistant to antibiotics. (—F Daschner, A Schuster - AJIC: American Journal of Infection Control, 2004 pdf) And according to FDA, "washing the skin with an 74-percent concentration of ethyl alcohol has been reported to result in the recovery of increased numbers of surface inoculated Staphylococcus aureus 5 hours later." (—47FR22324 pdf)

the Swipeys® advantage

At first glance, Swipeys® MedGuard™ natural hand sanitizers and Naturals® Towelette (for fruit, veggies, and hands) are just another alcohol based sanitizers. But our products are truly unique. Our sanitizers feature natural corn alcohol plus our exclusive newly developed Freshesse™ formula (a patent pending cleanser formula with an incredible list of benefits).

Swipeys® leaves a slight residual off emollients that disinfect naturally. You get protection well beyond the moment of application. And it leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Many people who've tried our sanitizer can feel the difference instantly.

When you try our Swipeys® products, you will definitely . . . feel the difference! Better take Swipeys®.

Well I've kept the Amazon Prime. despite my grumbles.

Currently, I am working my way through Scrubs.  I didn't see this first time around, and am enjoying it a lot. Currently on series 2.

I just hope that the Amazon cock-wombles don't switch it to pay-per-view part way through like they did with Castle.

Ho hum.
Standing in the shadows, hiding from the light
Reach out in the darkness, and hold on for your life
All the fear of the future, all the emptiness inside
When the moment of truth arrives, hey, you can run but you can't hide

        Vodafone : Raises Fiscal Year 2020 Earnings Guidance on Liberty Global Gains

        share with twitter share with LinkedIn share with facebook
        share via e-mail
        11/12/2019 | 02:46am EST

        By Adria Calatayud

        Vodafone Group PLC on Tuesday raised its adjusted earnings guidance for fiscal 2020, benefiting from its acquisition of certain Liberty Global PLC assets in Europe and the sale of its New Zealand operations.

        The British telecommunications company upgraded its earnings outlook as it said that lower cash flows from India and the New Zealand sale will lead to slightly lower-than-previously-expected cash flow and posted a narrowed pretax loss for the first half.

        Vodafone said it now expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization--the company's preferred profit metric, which strips out exceptional and other one-off items--of between 14.8 billion and 15.0 billion euros ($16.32 billion and $16.54 billion) for the year ending March 31, 2020. The company had previously guided for adjusted Ebitda of between EUR13.8 billion and EUR14.2 billion.

        This implies organic growth for the full year of between 2% and 3%, Vodafone said.

        Pretax loss for the six months to Sept. 30 was EUR511 million compared with a loss of EUR2.89 billion for the year-earlier period, the British telecommunications group said. In the first half of fiscal 2019, Vodafone booked a large loss on the sale of Vodafone India.

        Revenue for the first half was up 0.4% at EUR21.94 billion, the company said. Organic service revenue--a figure closely watched by analysts--was up 0.3% for the first half and up 0.7%for the second quarter.

        Vodafone said adjusted Ebitda was EUR7.11 billion in the first half of fiscal 2020, up 1.4% on an organic basis benefiting from cost savings.

Neuromyelitis Optica

Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO, Devic’s Disease) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the CNS. It is characterised by antibody-mediated inflammatory demyelination and necrosis of the grey and white matter. Lesions have a particular predilection for the optic nerves and the spinal cord, although the brainstem, midbrain and cortex can also be affected. The most common antibody associated with NMO is the anti-Aquaporin 4 IgG. Aquaporin 4 is a water channel expressed highly in astrocytes at the blood-brain barrier and in periventricular regions.

Prevalence: 1 / 20 000

Risk factors:

  • Female (10:1)

Age of onset: 30s – 40s (slightly older than people with MS)

NMO classically presents with one of:

  • Optic neuritis
  • Longitudinally-extensive transverse myelitis

NMO has a relapsing course – people typically experience multiple episodes of acute demyelination. Although recovery from acute attacks may be very good, over time most people develop visual impairment due to repeated episodes of optic neuritis and impaired motor, bladder, and bowel function due to repeated episodes of transverse myelitis.

Optic neuritis

Inflammatory demyelination of the optic nerve presents with a history of decreased visual acuity, pain on movement of the eye, impaired colour vision, with or without systemic upset. These symptoms develop over a short period (~24 hours) and reach their worst after ~ 2 weeks. In NMO, people may present with bilateral optic neuritis. This is rare in other disorders.

Transverse myelitis

Transverse myelitis refers to a spinal cord syndrome which is caused by an inflammatory lesion of the spinal cord. In NMO, transverse myelitis typically is complete (i.e. mimics a complete spinal cord transection) and extends longitudinally (i.e. affects multiple adjacent spinal cord segments). Presenting features therefore include symmetrical, bilateral, upper motor neuron weakness, a sensory level with loss of all modalities below the affected cord level, autonomic dysfunction (e.g. urinary incontinence), and variable weakness and sensory loss at the level of the affected spinal cord segments.

Other features

NMO may cause inflammatory demyelination in any part of the CNS including the hypothalamus and cortex. Symptoms suggestive of wider involvement include excessive daytime sleepiness (hypothalamus) and intractable vomiting (area postrema in the medulla).

On examination

  • On inspection
    • Visual aids
    • Walking aids
    • Long-term catheter
  • Eyes
    • Look for evidence of current or previous bilateral optic neuritis
      • Relative afferent pupillary defects (may be difficult to elicit if both eyes affected)
      • Achromatopsia
      • Visual field defects: classically ON produces a central scotoma but lots of other patterns of visual loss are possible
      • Fundoscopy: a pale disc implies optic atrophy secondary to previous optic neuritis
  • Arms & legs
    • Look for evidence of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis
      • Symmetrical UMN weakness
      • Sensory level

The diagnosis of NMO is based on a combination of clinical findings, serology, imaging, and CSF analysis.

  • Serology:
    • Anti-AQP4 is positive in most cases of what is clinically NMO (~90%). A subset of patients are positive for anti-Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (anti-MOG).
  • MRI brain and spinal cord:
    • T2W: demonstrates demyelinating lesions
    • T1-Gd: demonstrates Gadolinium-enhancement (BBB breakdown)

      Case courtesy of A.Prof Frank Gaillard, From the case rID: 26591

  • CSF: not always required but may help to distinguish from MS.
    • Oligoclonal bands are present in ~ 20% vs 90% of people with MS.
    • Raised CSF WCC and protein are more common in NMO than MS.

Management involves two aspects:

  • Treating acute attacks
  • Preventing further attacks

Treating acute relapses

Acute relapses are generally treated with pulsed IV steroids and/or plasma exchange.

Long-term preventative therapy

Widely-used long-term preventative therapy for NMO includes azathioprine, rituximab, and MMF.

The prognosis of NMO is worse than MS. People generally accrue disability with each acute relapse. Mortality rates are high.

“On this planet of being an entrepreneur and dealing for your self and beginning your personal trade, you at all times get began,” she stated.

Nevertheless it additionally provides precious data for any trade proprietor who may just use a gross sales assist.

Tips about Gross sales Pitch

Finding out from every scenario

You do not want to release an enormous investor to be informed precious gross sales courses. Weinstein in truth says that she realized a few of her most respected courses through running as a cocktail waitress when she used to be 18 years outdated.

Weinstein says, “I might say that many people get started companies and feature those nice techniques, after which you are at the telephone with a buyer otherwise you run fundraisers and also you by no means even ask for them.” 39; cash. You don’t ask for the sale. “

Samsung and Xiaomi are already starting to reap the benefits of Huawei’s problems

Donald Trump has signed an order that bans US companies from doing business with Huawei and the results are out of sight. These are already having positive effects for Chinese competitors, especially Samsung and Xiaomi.

According to Reuters, PriceSpy ‘s price comparison website (similar to KuantoKusta) reports a drop in the number of Huawei equipment searches. In contrast, Samsung and Xiaomi are in the opposite direction.

According to PriceSpy’s data , Huawei received almost half of the clicks it had received the week prior to Donald Trump’s order, in the UK alone. When we look at the global market, its popularity has dropped by 26%.

Samsung and Xiaomi win with Huawei polemics

As a result of the numbers described above, Samsung saw its popularity grow 13%. South Korea is the only company that separates Huawei from the top of the market, but with these results the gap can start to grow even more.

Already Xiaomi, compatriot of Huawei, saw the interest of users to grow 19% in the last four days. Again it is said that these are data from a price comparison site, but that reflect the interest of consumers in some products.

It should also be noted that the PriceSpy compiles data from Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the UK. Therefore, we can see that the conclusions drawn are based on a good range of countries, one of them even outside the European continent.

The source also refers to the problems that this scenario may bring to Huawei in the long run. It is still early to draw conclusions about this issue, but it may prove to be difficult for China to recover from the evils that this decision since it is causing.

Huawei ban in US could be lifted

All US companies are currently barred from trading anything with Huawei. However, Donald Trump has already opened the door to a possible change in the law.

The US president has admitted that Chinese technology could be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with China. That is, if the Beijing government yields to US requirements, Huawei may again be allowed to negotiate with Google, Intel, Qualcomm and many others who have already cut off relations with it.

But this last scenario is just hypothetical at this point. Nothing assures us that this can happen and even if it happens, no one knows what damages will already be done to Huawei’s reputation at that time.

Over at UD Francis Backwith said:

No longer can we assume that our most accomplished scholars in a particular field are truly educated, that they are able to understand and communicate in an even rudimentary way the most important questions with which their civilization has wrestled for millennia. What we have produced are intellectual barbarians, deeply knowledgeable of their subject, but unwise about the intellectual patrimony of the universities they inhabit.

You can read the whole discussion here.

  One Response to “Intellectual Barbarians”

  1. This was an interesting thread over at UD. It is interesting to note that what secularists (or atheists or philosophical naturalists) consider as “truly educated” is not the same as what Beckwith says. Truly “educated” usually means accepting philosophical naturalism as true, and rejecting religious claims (or anything related to faith) as false or irrational. A little time reading Alvin Plantinga could go along way to curing this particular ailment.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Women often select shoes very carefully. They focus on everything from color to style. Are you the one who is looking around for selecting special shoes for a particular occasion? If the answer is Yes, then you should continue reading further.

You will find all types of shoes in the market that fit just perfect for any occasion. You can search for shoe stores on Perth online as well if you need additional help with the selection process. Professional brands often sell quality branded shoes online for the best price.

  • Consider selecting the right color combination

Whatever you wear always makes a big difference in your selection. Depending on this you have to pick heels or flats that blend in perfectly with your dress. This is also good for women who are used to wearing bold patterns.

There are many shades that are also considered as neutral and go in perfectly with all dress colors.

  • Additional zest factor

To dress up like a pro, you can also try and add some amount of zest to your selection. If you prefer dressing in  brown or black colored dress, then you can select red-colored leather shores. This is also the right choice if you are used to wearing something that is funkier but simple.

You can search for womens shoes in Melbourne online and then pick the best collection of designer shoes.  When searching online you may come across websites selling top branded shoes for all occasions.

  • Geometric patterns

In recent times, geometry has managed to make up its way in our everyday wear products. So if you are wearing a dress that has geometric patterns, then you can try and select shoes that match perfectly with the pattern.

Selecting dark purple and blue shade is also the best option to match with geometry shaped prints. You also need to keep in mind that exact matching colors should always be avoided. A little variation is colors will always be more appreciated by everyone.

  • Different shades

Many women often try and experiment by selecting colors that are entirely different in hue. So if you are wearing a white top then you can select light pink or sky blue color for the shoes. This factor will offer you with perfect variation.

  • Standard colors

For all other colored dresses, you can also make a selection of standard black or white color. These shades are ideal if you have to wear the same pair of shoes at your workplace. This is also the best choice for women who are unable to invest big money in purchasing different pairs of shoes for every dress they wear.

Apart from this, you also have an option to select shoes depending on the season. For a rainy season, you can try selecting open sandal type shoes which are also considered as the latest trends.
