Former CB Bryant McFadden calls Bears 'best young defensive unit' in NFL

After a Top 10 finish in 2017, the Chicago Bears’ defense is starting to get some recognition from around the NFL.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden is a big fan of what Vic Fangio put together. He’s now an analyst for CBS Sports, and he offered high praise for the team entering 2018.

“This is a sleeper team, but I love this team,” McFadden said on CBS’s Pick Six Podcast. “They have, in my opinion, the best young defensive unit in the league. Young, I’m talking about youth. Jacksonville, they’re extremely young, but they’ve got a few quality, older experienced pieces. When you look at this Chicago Bears defense, youth is on all three phases as far as the front, the second level and the third level.”

McFadden played on Super Bowl-winning defense during his time in the NFL, so he knows how to recognize and up-and-coming group.

In particular, he thinks the Bears’ first-round pick this year is going to make a big impact.

“Roquan Smith? Boy, he’s a dog, and I’m not just saying that because he went to Georgia,” McFadden said. “He’s a tone-setter. He’s the guy who throws people out of the club. He’s like the bouncer, and you have to have that type of personality on your defense.”

The Bears’ defense already started to form its personality last season, and if they can maintain that edge heading into 2018, they should be back in the Top 10 of the league.

Should the Bears trade for Bengals WR John Ross?

The Chicago Bears are 5-1 and in first place in the NFC North, but it still feels like there are several positions on the roster that can use an upgrade before the NFL's trade deadline on November 3.

One such position is wide receiver, where the Bears could use more of a straight-line speed threat after six weeks of a failed Ted Ginn experiment.

Ginn has just three catches for 40 yards this season.

Rookie Darnell Mooney has been a pleasant surprise and is entrenched as the Bears' No. 2 pass-catcher, while Anthony Miller is barely holding on to his gig as...

3 Bears training camp storylines to keep an eye on

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

The first few practices of Chicago Bears training camp are in the books, and already, we’re starting to get a feel for the major storylines that surround each day in Bourbonnais.

The team is building its identity under Matt Nagy and trying to figure out how it’ll put its players in the best positions to be successful.

Nothing is set in stone yet, but a few themes have been the driving force behind the talk of training camp.

How the new weapons fit together

Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports

With so many new receivers to work with, Nagy has the luxury of figuring out how to best utilize them all.

Allen Robinson, more or less, has his role as the No. 1 guy, but Taylor Gabriel and Tarik Cohen can line up all over and use their speed to challenge defenses.

Even Anthony Miller said he’s joined them in the backfield, and Kevin White is starting to put his game back together.

Then there are the tight ends, with Trey Burton playing a lot of receiver and Adam Shaheen making a case for more playing time.

It’s going to be difficult to find snaps and targets for all these weapons, and it’s a work in progress for Nagy at training camp.

Allen Robinson among most targeted wide receivers in 2020

We all know Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson is critically important to Chicago's offense. And sometimes, stats can make the obvious even more, well, obvious.

Check out this nugget shared by Pro Football Focus' Ian Hartitz regarding the most targeted wide receivers in the NFL this season:

If we eliminate Jamison Crowder's ridiculous 11.5 targets per game, which are largely a product of the Jets' negative game scripts, Robinson is in elite company and is among some of the game's highest-paid pass-catchers.

Davante Adams (aside from Robinson) is the lowest-paid of the most-targeted bunch at $14.5 million per season, according to Spotrac....

Asus unveiled the ROG Phone back in June this year and it went on sale in Taiwan the next month. Asus has now started sending the invites for an event on November 29th where the highly anticipated gaming smartphone will be launched for the Indian market.

Asus CEO Jerry Shen confirmed earlier in July that the ROG Phone will ‘definitely’ hit the Indian market and will be launched at some point in Q3 2018. Even though Asus missed that deadline, we are still pretty excited about the ROG Phone’s launch in India which happens in a just over a week from now.

When it comes to features, the device is powered by an overclocked Snapdragon 845 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 2.1 storage. On the front is a 6-inch 1080p AMOLED screen which supports HDR content, a 90Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate which is claimed to be an industry-first for a smartphone.

Asus has also packed in an upgraded cooling solution which according to the company will ‘help sustain peak gaming performance’. The ROG Phone also comes with an AeroActive Cooler which clips onto the back and blows air over the phone to keep it cool.

The phone comes with customizable ultrasonic AirTriggers which can be used within games in the landscape mode, while there’s also an additional AirTrigger on the bottom left corner of the device. The phone also features an advanced stereo haptic engine which provides detailed force feedback during games.

The device also comes with a HyperCharge adapter which increases the power delivery to the phone up to 20W, while a 4,000 mAh battery keeps the machine running. As of now, there’s no word on estimated pricing of the ROG Phone in India or its market availability details, but we’ll keep you updated with more information as and when it arrives.

KitKat Is Ditching Plastic Packaging In Japan For Paper You Can Turn Into Origami

Companies from all over the world are looking for many way’s to minimise their use of plastic.

KitKat has just changed the game with their clever idea of using packaging you can turn into origami once you’ve finished using it.

Food and drink giant Nestlé (they own Kit Kat) said they would be exclusively issuing 100 per cent recyclable packaging for its products by 2025. How amazing is that?!

Nestlé’s Japanese branch has just launched new packaging for the popular miniature KitKat chocolate bars, and instead o being wrapped in plastic, they will be covered in paper.

Nestlé Japan have even labelled the packaging with instructions on how to create origami after eating the snack.

You can turn the packaging into the origami crane, which is a traditional Japanese messenger of thoughts and wishes.

This will hopefully mean that the paper will remain in use for longer, rather than being thrown away immediately after consuming the snack. So clever.

This switch is expected to cut down on roughly 380 tons of plastic each year.

The environmentally friendly shift will launch later this month with the most popular KitKat mini flavours. These flavors include the original, matcha and otona no amasa, which means ‘sweetness for adults’ and is a darker chocolate taste which is slightly more bitter. That will be out first.

It’s in next September that the brand will roll out the paper packaging into its normal-sized KitKat multipacks.

Then it will go on to releasing single-layer paper wrappers for individual KitKats in 2021.

Rimsky-Korsakov : The Golden Cockerel

25,17 28,72

SKU: N/A Category:

A cruel and sardonic fairytale, Rimsky-Korsakov‘s The Golden Cockerel undoubtedly counts among the most subversive works in the history of music. A true masterpiece of the Russian repertoire, here in a production by Laurent Pelly conducted by Alain Altinoglu recorded at La Monnaie / De Munt in Brussels.

Rimsky-Korsakov : The Golden Cockerel

The old Tzar Dodon, tired of ruling his country, manipulated by his political advisors – among which the obscure Astrologer – and showing little interest in protecting his kingdom against foreign agression, relies on a magic Golden Cockerel to warn him in case of an attack. But when the Cockerel tells him of his own defeat, the Tzar quickly falls in love with his enemy, the beautiful Tzaritza of Shemakha, who easily convinces him to surrender his empire by making him propose to her…

A cruel and sardonic fairytale, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Golden Cockerel draws from a poem by Alexander Pushkin, and undoubtedly counts among the most subversive works in the history of music. One has to admit that the opera, composed less than ten years before the revolution that was to change Russia forever, doesn’t paint a very favorable picture of the Tzar’s regime ! A very direct attack against autocracy, stupidity and political inertia, it was censored and premiered only in 1909, one year after Rimsky-Korsakov’s death.

This new production from the Théâtre de la Monnaie was imagined by Laurent Pelly. Drawing from the modernity of Rimsky-Korsakov’s musical and dramatic imagination, the ambiguities of its specular structure, and its underlying reflection on language, manipulation and absurdity, the French stage director underlies the heavily symbolical aspects of this fierce and pitiless tale, allthewhile remembering both its historical context and its universal philosophical depth… French conductor Alain Altinoglu works wonders with the Théâtre de la Monnaie Symphony Orchestra, and reaffirms his strong affinities with Russian music, which were already made clear in the Tchaikovsky diptych Iolanta / The Nutcracker at the Paris Opera in 2016.

« Pelly is masterly at characterising the comedy, through costumes as much as marshalling of his singers, with the chorus used especially effectively as soldiers and populace. The marital bed trundling forwards on tank tracks is a pertinent symbol of the tsar’s militaristic follies that have won him a bride – he then proceeds to sleep through the wedding celebrations. […] the comedy is all surprisingly subtle, and the underlying seriousness is never forgotten, especially with the Act III tableaux of Red Square and massed peoples. » – Bachtrack.com

October 17 Bible reading

17 10 2020

October 17  Psalm 119:49-56  1 Timothy 2  Jeremiah 35; 36; 37

Please read the suggested passages, prayerfully consider them, and the questions below. My comments here may be helpful after those moments. The suggested daily reading is for the purpose of reading through the whole Bible within a year.

Reading the Bible is helpful in taking next steps to follow Jesus. It may not be easy and yet it can be rewarding. Digging into Scripture alongside people you know is a life-giving way to pursue answers together. We discover the love that God has for us has been expressed through Jesus.

  • What’s the plain simple truth of the verses you read?
  • Based on today’s reading, what is one thing God is saying to you?
  • What should you do about that truth?

October 17  Psalm 119:49-56  1 Timothy 2  Jeremiah 35; 36; 37

Psalm 119:49-56

In the Scripture, we find promises made by our God. When we search out those promises, they bring us comfort. Reflecting on who we have found God to be will change our lives for the better. We should be talking about this with each other. That is a lesson we should learn from this Psalm.

1 Timothy 2

Paul gives us relevant guidance for anyone who would serve people, anyone who would lead people. We should pray for people (in intercession and with gratitude). We should pray for civil leaders. We must keep in mind that our God “wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth” that Jesus is the one Mediator. Jesus Christ is the One who reconciles God with humanity. This is our most important message.

2:8-15 includes Paul’s instructions that no group of people has dominance over another. There’s more to be said here than we have time for. There’s much about culture and history that is essential for context. Let’s start with the simple truth. Just as we see in Ephesians 5:21, “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” This revolutionary idea of mutual submission looks like this, “Thinking about Jesus Christ every day, remember His loving example of grace and humility. Remember His instruction to love God with the best of your energy and love others in the same way you take care of yourself.” – Matthew 22:37-39

2:14 Paul’s point includes the truth that both Adam and Eve stood equally guilty of their sin, before God.

2:15 some scholars believe could read, “saved by the birth of the Child” (referring to faith in Jesus Christ). Additionally, the text implies mothers leading younger people to faith in Jesus Christ. These beliefs would be true to many of the churches of the first century.

Jeremiah 35; 36; 37

God refers to the way that the Recabites remained faithful to the guidance of their ancestors. This was in contrast to the disobedience of His own people to His own words. God held out hope that the people would repent. Their king twice burned the Word of God written down for their benefit. The leaders of Jerusalem had Jeremiah beaten and thrown in prison. People who want to live in sin don’t want to hear God’s Word. If only they knew about the faithful love of God!

Structural Failure Analysis and Prediction Methods for Aerospace Vehicles and Structures

eBook: US $79 Special Offer (PDF + Printed Copy): US $158
Printed Copy: US $119
Library License: US $316
ISBN: 978-1-60805-326-1 (Print)
ISBN: 978-1-60805-024-6 (Online)
Year of Publication: 2010
DOI: 10.2174/97816080502461100101

This book deals with structural failure (induced by mechanical, aerodynamic, acoustic and aero-thermal, loads, etc.) of modern aerospace vehicles, in particular high-speed aircraft, solid propellant rocket systems and hypersonic flight vehicles, where structural integrity, failure prediction and service life assessment are particularly challenging, due to the increasingly more demanding mission requirements and the use of non-traditional materials, such as non-metallic composites, in their construction. Prediction of the complex loading environment seen in high-speed operation and constitutive / fracture models which can adequately describe the non-linear behaviour exhibited by advanced alloys and composite materials are critical in analyzing the non-linear structural response of modern aerospace vehicles and structures. The state-of-the-art of the different structural integrity assessment and prediction methodologies (including non-destructive structural health monitoring techniques) used for the structural design, service life assessment and failure analysis of the different types of aerospace vehicles are presented. The chapters are written by experts from aerospace / defence research organizations and academia in the fields of solid mechanics, and structural mechanics and dynamics of aircraft, rocket and hypersonic systems. The book will serve as a useful reference document containing specialist knowledge on appropriate prediction methodologies for a given circumstance and experimental data acquired from multi-national collaborative programs.

An important engineering problem in structural design is the evaluation of structural integrity and reliability. It is well known that structural strength may be degraded during its design life due to mechanical and/or chemical aging. Depending on the structural design, material type, service loading, and environmental conditions, the cause and degree of strength degradation due to the different aging mechanisms will vary. One of the common causes of strength degradation is crack development in the structure. When cracks occur, the effects of crack size and rate of growth on the fracture resistance of the material and the remaining strength and life of the structures need to be determined.

Reliable performance of a structure in critical applications depends on ensuring that the structure in service satisfies the conditions assumed in design and life prediction analyses. Reliability assurance requires evaluation of the stress state in the structure and the material's strength allowable corresponding to a given failure criterion for a given loading condition and the availability of nondestructive testing and evaluation techniques to characterize discrete cracks according to their location, size, and orientation. This leads to an improved assessment of the potential criticality of individual flaws.

This book addresses the important topics mentioned in the above paragraphs. It covers the areas of mechanical fatigue analysis of aircraft structures under constant amplitude and spectrum loading conditions, acoustic fatigue of secondary aircraft structures, aerodynamic heating, structural integrity and service life prediction methodology of solid rocket motors, and structural health monitoring of solid rocket motors. Based on a systematic and a blended experimental and analytical approach together with extensive practical experience, methodologies were developed to (1) predict fatigue crack growth behavior and service life of aircraft structures and (2) assess the structural integrity and service life of solid rocket motors. In addition, the applicability as well as the limitations of the various methods are pointed out and examples of their practical use are given. Though the subject matter that appears in this book has been previously published by the authors elsewhere, this is the first time that the information has been presented in a consolidated manner. The implementation of these advanced technologies can increase the reliability of aircraft and rocket structures as well as significantly reduce structural repair and replacement costs. This book will prove to be of considerable value to the field of aerospace engineering both in academia and in industry. Furthermore, I believe its value will extend beyond the immediate intended reader to engineers in the shipping, automobile, tire, and construction industries who are interested in the evaluation of integrity and service life of structures.

COMMENTARY: Why Donald Trump’s coronavirus border plan is much ado about nothing

Canada doubled down Friday on its opposition to a plan by U.S. Department of Homeland Security that could have the agency ask the Pentagon to place about 1,000 U.S. troops, armed with sensors, near the border between the two countries to try to detect illegal would-be immigrants.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that Canada was still seeking clarification from the White House about what, exactly, the U.S.’s intentions were and repeated that his government was strongly opposed to the plan.

The prime minister’s remarks followed by a day Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s declaration that Canada had made its “opposition very, very clear to our American counterparts.”

What should be of greater concern to those Canadians who believe the state should not intrude into their private lives is how high-tech instruments, such as sensors and cellphones, are being used by governments to track people’s whereabouts so that they cannot infect others with COVID-19.

This may not be wrong when there is a global pandemic, but the rights and wrongs of this, and how to put this genie back in the bottle after the pandemic is controlled, are certainly worthy of debate — particularly since Prime Minister Trudeau has said he would consider tracking citizens’ movements if his government concluded that was required.

That the U.S. has been considering moving about 1,000 troops near its northern border (and about 500 more troops to its southern border with Mexico) to assist the border patrol in preventing people from illegally entering there is ridiculous, of course, as relatively few people ever try to cross from the north.

This must be especially true today, with the U.S. having become a petri bowl of COVID-19 coronavirus infection. None among us and few from elsewhere would want to try to break into the U.S. today.

[ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ]

While the mockery that this U.S. plan has engendered is understandable, the stern denunciations from some of the political echelon have been a bit much. The only obvious purpose has been to score easy political points at the expense of a neighbour that finds itself on the ropes at the moment.

The prime minister and his deputy apparently seem to have no idea that the U.S. army already has a division (up to 20,000 troops) of combat forces living minutes away by road from the Thousand Islands and Kingston, and 90 minutes away by road and 20 minutes away by helicopter from Ottawa.

The 10th Mountain Division resides on 434 square kilometres of land at Fort Drum in northern New York. The most frequently deployed regular force troops that the U.S. has, the 10th’s soldiers have done multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they have sometimes stood shoulder to shoulder with Canadian and Afghan troops.

And speaking of helicopters, Fort Drum probably has more of them than there are in the entire Canadian Armed Forces.

Out west, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord by Puget Sound, only two hours by road south of Vancouver, more than 40,000 troops from the U.S. Army’s I Corps and the USAF Airlift Command occupy 367 square kilometres of prime real estate. I Corps even has a Canadian general serving as a deputy commander.

The USAF also has a general based with the RCAF in Winnipeg and Canada has a three-star general at NORAD in Colorado and other flag officers based in Hawaii, North Carolina and Washington, D.C.

Moreover, the USAF routinely sends tankers, bombers and fighter jets over Canadian airspace as part of their joint responsibilities for NORAD, and U.S. troops from Fort Drum and elsewhere often bring thousands of troops and fighting vehicles to train at CFB Petawawa in the Ottawa Valley or at CFB Wainwright in northern Alberta.

The U.S. also has a string of fighter and bomber bases very close to Canada in northern Washington State, Montana and North Dakota. And the U.S. Navy is believed to almost always have nuclear submarines lurking in Canada’s northern archipelago.

Worth remembering, too, is that the U.S. Border Patrol on both northern and southern frontiers is already armed and often uses helicopters and drones that use radar and other sensors to search for illegal immigrants.

In the grand scheme of things, the U.S. considering placing 1,000 troops along the length of its 8,891-kilometre border near Canada, where about 60,000 troops are already based, is very small beer at this time, especially when hotbeds of COVID-19 infection are breaking out everywhere including British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Mike Day, the former head of Canada’s special forces, got it right in a Tweet on Friday about Homeland Security’s hair-brained plan.

“We are right to object but any bandwidth devoted to this is issue is a distraction,” he said.

Canada’s political class must maintain a laser focus on slowing down the country’s own mushrooming coronavirus infection rate and find ways to much better protect citizens and health care workers from this pernicious global scourge.

The kerfuffle regarding the mooted placement of, on average, one U.S. soldier for every eight kilometres of the long undefended border is truly much ado about nothing.

Will 24/7 Curbside Service Boost Nordstrom for the Holiday?

As with other department store chains, Nordstrom has been seeking out novel tactics to drum up more business. Its latest customer service approach? Adding 24/7 curbside service. Will it help Nordstrom’s holiday sales? We’ll know quite soon.

According to George Anderson, reporting for RetailWire:

“Nordstrom will give customers a little help as Christmas approaches. It will offer 24/7 curbside pickup at 10 stores across the country beginning Dec. 16. And continuing through Christmas Eve morning. This pilot is intended to give customers more flexibility as time pressures mount. Customers can pick up purchases during their early morning commute or perhaps after the little ones are in bed for the night.”

“‘I think more than any other time of the year, traditional store hours may not fit our customer’s lifestyle,’ Shea Jensen, Nordstrom senior vice-president of customer experience, told USA Today. ‘And so if we can find ways to lighten their load a bit during the busy season, we’re happy to do that.’”

1 Response to Will 24/7 Curbside Service Boost Nordstrom for the Holiday?

  1. Nordstrom has a reputation for going above and beyond for their customers. So it will continue to delight their current customer base and draw new customers in. The adoption rate of the service is not the only measure of success.

    In a big picture sense did it justify its cost which is a difficult measure. That is to say that the service may operate at a loss, but its existence may cause an increase in sales that will offset that loss.

    I have observed that sensible real estate agents everywhere are warming up to FSBO Advertising. They are knowing that it’s more than just placing a sign in the front yard. It’s really pertaining to building relationships with these suppliers who sooner or later will become customers. So, once you give your time and efforts to encouraging these traders go it alone : the «Law of Reciprocity» kicks in. Good blog post.

District 113’s Referendum Puts School Revamp and Repairs Before Voters

The future of Township High School District 113 will soon rest in voters’ hands.

They’ll weigh-in at the ballot box on a multi-million dollar raft of repairs and upgrades to two area schools.

Come April 5, the district’s voters must determine whether to green light a $133 million overhaul to Deerfield and Highland Park High Schools, which would include infrastructure and technology upgrades, new pools and field houses for each school. The referendum also calls for a modernized library at Deerfield and a new academic wing to replace the 1914-era B and C-buildings at Highland Park.

The district has said that if passed, the referendum will hold taxpayers harmless: An owner of a home with a market value of $300,000 will continue to pay $254 annually in property taxes for the project. That’s because the district is poised to pay off current debt, which they’ll refinance and backfill with the cost of the revamp.

Still, the proposal has proved controversial with some. Two community groups have coalesced on each side of the debate as they race to persuade voters before April 5, with early voting from March 14 to March 31.

Education First, a group of concerned citizens who oppose the referendum, argues that many of the upgrades are “wants” not “needs,” and say the improvements would come at the wrong time given the state of the economy.

“We need to really sharpen our pencils, and instead of going for a deluxe plan, just focus on what is really needed,” says Education First member Sam Shapiro, whose son is a sophomore at Highland Park. Shapiro says the organization is not against some repairs, but instead wants to defeat the referendum so that they get a more modest proposal on the ballot in 2012.

But Citizens Aiming for Responsible Enhancements, a group who supports the revamp, say the repairs are necessary, would be cheaper to tackle now than in future and are critical to maintaining home values in the area.

“Fixing the problem now is quite frankly cheaper than doing it in the future, and it will have to be done,” says C.A.R.E. member Bobby Kellman, whose mother teaches at Deerfield Middle School. “What concerns me, if this doesn’t happen, is that there are a lot of safety concerns.”

For their part, Kellman and other C.A.R.E members say that the plan before voters is a scaled-back version of a more elaborate $169 million plan scuttled after community input.

Is there an optimal time of day to exercise?

Two new studies say yes. Unfortunately, each claims a different time.

woman working out in gym

  • Research at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences declares evening to be the best time for an exercise session.
  • Not so fast, says a new study at UC Irvine, which replies that late morning is the optimal workout time.
  • Both studies involved mice on treadmills and measured different markers to produce their results.

We know timing is everything, but does everything rely on timing? When it comes to when you exercise, the answer might be yes.

Two complementary studies were recently published in the journal Cell Metabolism, detailing the relevance of circadian rhythm on exercise. Both studies relied on mice huffing it on treadmills (along with a dozen human counterparts in one of the studies). Both presented an optimal time of day to exercise. The problem is, each study claims a different time.

In the first, mice were put on varying cardio protocols at different times of day. "Mouse evening" is different than "human evening" since rodents are nocturnal. According to this research, evening appears to be the best time of day for exercise efficiency.

The team, led by Dr. Gad Asher in the Department of Biomolecular Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences, focused on skeletal muscle. They discovered higher levels of post-workout ZMP during mouse evening, affording the rodents an increased exercise ability. When 12 humans were tested in a similar manner the result was the same. As the team writes,

"The distinct daytime and exercise-type transcriptomic and metabolic signature in skeletal muscle point toward a difference in nutrient utilization and metabolic pathway activation, in particular, fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis."

Asher believes this offers a leg-up on those that hit the treadmill in the evening, noting that ZMP is "an endogenous analog of AICAR [aminoimidazole carboxamide riboside], a compound that some athletes use for doping." Apparently, our internal alarm clock offers access to our inner pharmacy at different times.

Morning vs Evening | Best Time of Day to Workout

Not so fast, says Dr. Paolo Sassone-Corsi at the Center for Egpigenetics and Metabolism at UC Irvine. His team also investigated the effects of circadian regulation on metabolism. He says that by the end of the study his team looked out a much different time window.

"Using mice, we compared the impact of exercise on the skeletal muscle metabolism at different times of day. We discovered that exercising at the correct time of day — around mid-morning — results in more oxygen in the cells and a more rejuvenating effect on the body."

Sassone-Corsi measured changes in muscle tissue as they related to glycolysis and lipid oxidation. The key component was a transcription factor, HIF-1α, and its role in exercise efficiency. Homing in on this particular process offered another perspective.

Specifically, Sassone-Corsi says that our bodies utilize carbohydrates and ketone bodies better during a late morning workout; we also break down fats and amino acids more efficiently during this phase.

While both studies involve circadian rhythms, Sassone-Corsi admits that mice living in a laboratory experience reality differently than humans. Physiological differences between an early rising human and a night owl signify varying optimal times of day for pretty much everything, workouts included. If you're not accustomed to hitting the gym at the break of dawn, it is unlikely that a 6 a.m. session will be better when compared to your normal evening regimen.

In my experiences, there are advantages to both. In the morning (my personal preference, being an early riser), exercise wakes you up and prepares you for the day ahead. I notice a qualitative difference between getting on my laptop on days when I work out first compared to when I do not.

Other benefits of a morning routing include:

  • More efficient weight loss
  • REM sleep aids in motor control
  • Early birds are more consistent (likely because willpower is a limited resource)

Yet evening exercise also has advantages. For example, your body is more limber, having moved around all day; hitting the yoga mat first thing in the morning can be torturous. The wash of chemicals after an evening session sets you up for a restful sleep. Other research suggests that evening workouts allow you to blow off steam from your day while also increasing the intensity of your session. Strength and flexibility are highest in evening.

The answer to the optimal workout time appears to be: it depends. Like diet, exercise programs are individual. Experience and habitual patterns must be factored in. The most important takeaway from these studies is the fact that exercising at any time of the day is better than not exercising at all. Whatever your movement protocol, that you have one is the most important factor.

The CDC recommends that everyone ages two and up wear a mask that is two or more layers of material and that covers the nose, mouth, and chin. Gaiters and face shields have been shown to be less effective at blocking droplets. Homemade face coverings are acceptable, but wearers should make sure they are constructed out of the proper materials and that they are washed between uses.

BIM 360 Field Update: Link Issues and Checklists to Equipment, & More!

September 1, 2016 Krystian Macek

BIM 360 Field Issue Management

Upgraded Issues and Checklists

Among the vast safety, quality and commissioning capabilities in BIM 360 Field, the issues and checklists features are used by superintendents, project engineers and the host of subcontractors executing work on the job site.  Issues and checklists are extremely helpful for assigning and tracking work, ensuring proper installation of equipment and keeping the job site safe.  They are also helpful for standardizing processes in support of both quality and safety programs.

We recently added a number of enhancements to BIM 360 Field -- both for the Web and iOS apps -- including:

  • Pin issues from anywhere within BIM 360 Field mobile
  • View the originating source of an issue or checklist
  • Edit photo captions in the BIM 360 Field mobile Photo module
  • Linking existing issues and checklists to equipment and tasks
  • Adding Issue List by Location and Equipment List by Type as a custom properties in reports

Pin issues from anywhere using the BIM 360 Field mobile app

Work happens outside of the trailer, and now BIM 360 Field makes it easier than ever to mark the location of an issue by dropping a pin from whatever area of the BIM 360 Field app you are working in -- issue lists, equipment issue lists or equipment checklists and task issue lists.  Providing that the issue has a location associated with it and the location has a floor plan, issue pins can be dropped directly on the plan.  This helps the team locate the specific issue that needs to be addressed.

Users can now navigate the relationships between issues and checklists to their corresponding equipment, checklist or task records.  For example, while performing the QA/QC checklist for doors and frames, lets say an issue was generated for one of the jambs. This issue can be seen under the corresponding checklist item that created the non-conformance.  With the newly added originating source functionality, users can now go to the general issue list, open the issue and click on the source to quickly navigate to the originating checklist.

Link existing issues to equipment & tasks -- and existing checklists to equipment

New functionality within the Web interface allows BIM 360 Project Administrators to link existing issues to equipment and tasks, and link existing checklists to equipment.  This update is particularly helpful when cleaning up stand-alone issues, allowing admins to re-link them to corresponding equipment.  In addition, admins can now assign an existing issue to a task for work to be completed.

All users can now view existing source information from within the issue and checklist as well as in corresponding grids. Once linked, all users can view existing source information from within the issue and checklist as well as in corresponding grids.

New features include the ability to:

  • Link an existing issue to equipment
  • Link an existing issue to a task
  • Link an existing issue to multiple tasks
  • Link an existing checklist to equipment

Edit photo captions from the Photo module

BIM 360 Field has previously offered users the ability to enter photo captions when attaching photos to an issue, task or equipment.  We've now added the ability to add and edit captions directly from the photo module.  This feature is especially helpful when taking progress photos, allowing users to enter a caption depicting what is captured in the photo.

To access this feature, navigate to the Photo module within the app > Take a Photo > Edit Caption.

Custom report improvements

Issue List by Location and Equipment List by Type reports now support raw Excel export of custom property fields. This allows this data to be manipulated by Excel, either through standard Excel functions, or through the use of pivot tables. Additionally, users can include comments in the Excel export.Issue_List_by_Location_and_Equipment_List_by_Type__report_improvements

To include custom properties in reports:

  • Open the Issue List by Location or Equipment List by Type report
  • Select Excel (.XLS) as the output format

Why BionerG

Mission Statement

BionerG develops commercially viable bio-related solutions to the combined challenges of global energy demand and climate change. Solutions are based on 15 years experience working with biofuel production systems, proprietary system design models and an established network of academic and industrial expertise and resources.

Vision Statement

Our vision is of a sustainable future for the world in which a significant contribution towards future climate change mitigation is delivered by rebalancing carbon in the atmosphere with carbon stored in soil and enhanced biomass production. Global scale benefits are achieved through the establishment of a distributed network of low capex units, each delivering positive local value in addition to their collective contribution towards global targets. Key to success is the synergy between local and centralized expertise provided with access to a palette of modularized options that can be tailored to maximise local value, and facilitated by advanced communications and data handling technologies.

Action needed NOW

Economic analysis indicate that the cost of mitigation will increase in the future if green house gas emissions are not controlled soon. There is an urgent need to begin carbon offsetting programs whilst the full range of climate mitigation solutions are developed. Yet, many solutions currently being explored may take many decades to be fully developed. The BionerG solution, as a low capex program, is one of the most rapidly deployable solutions available to be implemented on a global scale.

Newly Hatched Review | My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen

Fairy Godmother

About the Book: Chris Bellows is just trying to get through high school and survive being the only stepchild in the social-climbing Fontaine family, whose recently diminished fortune hasn’t dimmed their desire to mingle with Upper East Side society. Chris sometimes feels more like a maid than part of the family. But when Chris’s stepsister Kimberly begins dating golden boy J. J. Kennerly, heir to a political dynasty, everything changes. Because Chris and J. J. fall in love . . . with each other.

With the help of a new friend, Coco Chanel Jones, Chris learns to be comfortable in his own skin, let himself fall in love and be loved, and discovers that maybe he was wrong about his step-family all along. All it takes is one fairy godmother dressed as Diana Ross to change the course of his life.

My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen is a Cinderella retelling for the modern reader. The novel expertly balances issues like sexuality, family and financial troubles, and self-discovery with more lighthearted moments like how one rogue shoe can launch a secret, whirlwind romance and a chance meeting with a drag queen can spark magic and light in a once dark reality.

I loved the concept of My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen.  Even the title was enough to pull me in, but the synopsis made it sound better.  I really was hoping for the laughs and crazy antics that the title and synopsis implied.  I think I got them, but I was also disappointed in other areas of the story.

Listing the things I enjoyed about this book is easy.  I liked the characters, and I liked the way the characters interacted.  I liked how this wasn’t the black and white retelling of Cinderella, and that the author chose to show the step-family more realistically, even having Chris recognize that, in his own way, he enabled their laziness.  I even liked Kimberly and Buck.  They were both shallow, but there was also a lot of acceptance from them.  Basically, I think that My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen had a solid foundation to tell a great story.

Unfortunately I had quite a few problems with the execution, but I’ll just touch on the two biggest.

First, the main reason why I only rated it a three, is that I didn’t buy into the plot.  I couldn’t accept that there was supposedly only one idea, a terrible idea, for how JJ and Chris could spend time together.  Whenever I was reading all I could think about were the other ways this could have played out.  Ways that wouldn’t have been so unbelievable.  If you’re curious and want this spoiler ahead of time, highlight the next section: I’m sorry, but pretending to be Kimberly’s boyfriend (allowing her to think you were her boyfriend) is not a good way to see the man you do love… who happens to be her her step-brother.  I’m sure all of you can come up with a better idea too… Like, two boys who are friends.  As I read I just got more and more frustrated.

That’s not all folks, I was also frustrated at JJ for the way he treated Chris.  I’m understanding.  I’m compassionate.  Obviously JJ’s reasons for wanting to stay a secret were based in his need to do good in the world, politically, and his fear that coming out would hinder that.  What I couldn’t accept was how he knew what the lying and sneaking around was doing to Chris.  Yet it didn’t motivate him to make some kind of change.  Love is sacrifice sometimes, and if he couldn’t sacrifice his career then he should have been willing to sacrifice his love for Chris.  (Though, in my mind he should have automatically chosen love and just worked harder to have both.  But, I’m trying to play fair.)

My frustration level really impacted my enjoyment of the books resolution.  I loved the initial meet-cute, and know that the resolution was sweet too.  Unfortunately, at that point I’d had enough, and the 3 pages of happiness we got at the end wasn’t going to soothe me.

Thank you to Sky Pony Press for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

About Birdie

Don’t look for her in any bar, club, crazy raging party, or anywhere there may be a large gathering of strangers. She’s more likely to be found tucked into the corner of the couch watching one of her favorite shows, or preferably under a comforter with her current novel.

  1. Of course, on the other hand, the lying and sneaking around is perfect preparation for a career in politics! I’m sorry this wasn’t all you’d hoped it would be. That title is so alluring!

  2. thelivingbooktree

    Oh no hate it when you have high expectations and that kind of ruins the book in a way. Really like the thought of this book, maybe Ill have to check it out 😀

      1. thelivingbooktree

        Your review is the first one I have seen about this book actually. I hope more will read it so you can get an answer to that question 😀

        Liked by 1 person

  3. Sorry to hear it his didn’t really work for you. I understand your reasons though. I don’t read retellings, but I love watching the movies. I hope your next read is way better. Have a great weekend. 😁

  4. The title of this one has been catching my eye for a while now, but I think I’d be disappointed by the same things that disappointed you. I may still give it a try but it won’t be a priority read. Great review though!

Перестроечная статья в WP - OK

Betsy Karasik@WP -- I don’t believe that all sexual conduct between underage students and teachers should necessarily be classified as rape, and I believe that absent extenuating circumstances, consensual sexual activity between teachers and students should not be criminalized. The utter hysteria with which society responds to these situations does less to protect children than to assuage society’s need to feel that we are protecting them.

Prevention Of Deadly Melanoma Begins In The Pediatric Years

Because 80 percent of life-time sun coverage occurs prior to the get older of 20, attempts to avoid melanoma, the deadliest form of epidermis cancer, must get started early in life. For a number of reasons, melanoma incidence has increased since the 1930s when only one out of just one 1 steadily,600 Americans were identified as having the condition.

Today, melanoma has an effect on one in 60 Americans and is appearing more in teenagers and young individuals frequently. Dr. John D’Orazio, a researcher at the Markey Cancer Center and a pediatric oncologist at Kentucky Children’s Hospital, rarely sees pores and skin cancers in children but says the pediatric years are a critical period for avoiding melanoma later in life.

Melanoma risk correlates especially with sunburns, and because the body is more delicate in child years, children are vulnerable to sunburns especially. Having at least five sunburns increases the lifetime risk of melanoma, and blistering sunburns are particularly risky. According to D’Orazio, skin pigmentation and amount of exposure to UV rays will be the predominant risk factors for developing melanoma.

  1. Great for men who want a non fluffy treatment with apparent results
  2. Environmental changes
  3. Dark, oily brunette complexion
  4. Healthful body fat, including nut products, avocado, and olive petrol
  5. 78% of US households have air conditioning (THAT I didn’t have growing up)
  6. As dermis hydrating moisturizer

People who have shadowy pigmentation have high levels of melanin pigment in their pores and skin. Melanin acts like a natural sunblock and covers the skin very effectively against UV injury. Those who have fair body and a lighter appearance are created with small amounts of melanin in their skin area and are a lot more susceptible to UV penetrating deeply and altering skin cells. There is overwhelming evidence to show that skin cancers such as melanoma are brought on by UV radiation that penetrates into the skin and triggers mutations in body cells. Therefore, the better Ultraviolet rays that permeate into the dermis with no security of artificial or natural unlocking providers, the higher the individual’s risk of fast-developing melanoma.

Children with honest complexions are most susceptible to damaging effects of UV rays. It’s important to notice whether a kid is susceptible to sunburning or tanning. Knowing a child’s skin area profile can help parents determine the level of protection that should be enforced during outdoor activities. Parents and caregivers must be vigilant about restricting sunlight and tanning foundation contact to ensure the long-term body health of children and young adults. D’Orazio says to implement common sense when it comes to sun basic safety also to avoid sunburns as much as possible. Of day the sun is most extreme Avoiding or limiting outdoor activities during the time, between 10 a.m.

4 p.m. is an excellent strategy. If sunburn-susceptible children are outdoors in this right time, seek a shady wear and spot UV-protected items, such as bathing suits, rash guards, shades, and hats to flee the sunshine. Apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 designed to block both UVB and UVA rays.

Make convinced all exposed areas of the body are coated, including the legs and the tops of ears. At the very least, sunscreen should be employed every 90 minutes and after sweating or going swimming immediately. Because their components breakdown over time, sunscreens should nearly be swapped out. Despite having a solid link to melanoma, the use of tanning beds in adolescents and young individuals continues to skyrocket.

Unusual Small Business Ideas

Whether you want to be the next big startup, or just earn a little extra cash in your spare time, you're going to need an innovative idea. Unusual small business ideas catch people's attention, in effect marketing your business for you. Give some thought to where your strengths lie and you'll be able to find a small business idea.

The Internet

While using the internet for business is nothing new, it still provides a number of opportunities for the innovative businessperson. Jason Sadler made as much as $365 a day in 2010 wearing t-shirts for companies looking for viral marketing exposure. Virtual Dating Assistants, founded by Scott Valdez, offers help for busy professionals looking to navigate the world of online dating. While these ideas are already taken, they offer examples of finding your own unique niche on the world wide web.

Home Businesses

The great thing about being in business for yourself is that you can work from the comfort of your own home. A number of companies allow you to work from home as an independent contractor -- which means, you are your own boss. You'll provide services such as crafting articles for the internet, or transcribing them. You can even work creating closed captions for the deaf. If you happen to live on a ranch, you can make money babysitting farm animals while the owners are away.

Blogging can be a business, but there's hardly anything unusual about that. While many people make pennies, or even hundreds of dollars a week blogging about things like the news, you can carve out your own niche in the blogosphere. Think of some of the more unusual and unique interests that you have. Now consider starting a blog about them. You'll have to learn search engine optimization to get to the top of search rankings. Blogs also take a long time to grow, but you can view them as long-term revenue that lasts forever.

You don't need an engineering degree or a manufacturing facility to get into creating new products -- just an innovative idea. Think about a need the market has overlooked, then try to fill it. Alternately, you can come up with a wacky product you can sell on the strength of its novelty. One enterprising entrepreneur came up with a bottle opener combined with a television remote control. Juxtaposing two products can create marketing magic that puts dollars in your pocket.

Confession: I’m in the middle of dissecting every aspect of my business that doesn’t work as well as I’d like it to, figuring out the root cause, and putting it back together in a way that delivers even more value to my clients.
Let me tell you, it hurts. But while it may cause some friction in the short-term, I know the changes I’m making will pay off (for both myself and clients) in the years to come…and I’m willing to put in the hard work today for the future gain.
So in short, I’m playing the long game: short term pains for long term gains.
How about you?
Are you ready to take action today that’ll get you where you want to be in the long term? Let’s talk…

Are you suffering from short term thinking? I know that I get hit with it from time to time; I think about what’s happening in my business in this really really short time frame and it doesn’t feel good. And so the mindset that I’m cultivating and inviting you to cultivate with me, is the mindset of playing the long game.

So look unless you’re going to sell your business in the next year or two, you’re in this for the long haul. You’re taking actions today that are going to pay off years down the line. And so one thing we know about business is that it takes a long time to build a business. We know that the building becomes exponential, and over time the results that we produce as we build momentum, the results just expand and expand, and the same thing is happening right now.

Yes, we’re all taking actions today that we have to take to keep our business afloat, or to handle- for some people to handle the big influx of business as the needs have changed of your customers. Wherever you are, I’m encouraging you to take the view of the long game, that we are in this for the long haul, and that what is happening today is temporary: “this too shall pass”. There’s comfort in remembering that this phase that we’re in is temporary, nothing is permanent. And we have a lot of years ahead of us to recover any losses that we’re suffering now, or that we are going to suffer in the short term, and there’s plenty of time to produce the results that you and I want to produce.

So join me in cultivating the mindset of playing for the long game- looking out into the future. Taking action today, consistent with where we want to go. Knowing that it’s going to take awhile, it takes a long time to build a business! But, that’s the game. That’s the game we’re playing, it’s a long and we’re in it together.

Blackhawks: Corey Crawford’s Contract Is An Issue Not Expected

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford was offered $3.5M to stay with the team for 2020-21. He is reportedly unhappy with the deal, putting Chicago in a bad spot.

Corey Crawford is putting the Chicago Blackhawks in a terrible spot – if the reports of him being unhappy with taking a hometown discount are true. Chicago doesn’t have the money to overpay for Crawford to stay, as they’re already in a bad Salary Cap situation.

The team currently has just over $6,000,000 to spend with a few key players needing contracts. The top two that come to mind are Dominik Kubalik and Dylan Strome. Kubalik is worth around $4,000,000 – with Strome being worth around $3,000,000.

Crawford is an aging veteran, who doesn’t have a lot left in the tank, let’s call it how it is. He plays well 50% of the time, which isn’t good enough. I think $3,500,000 AAV was a generous offer, but not shocking, as Stan Bowman has a habit of overpaying guys.

I’m not discounting everything Crawford has done for the team. He’s won two Stanley Cups, but he doesn’t have a third one left in him. It’s time to move on if he won’t accept this already generous offer.

The goal-tending position is maybe the most important on the ice, they shouldn’t overpay for a guy who might not be able to do it at a high-level.

Go after a free agent goalie for the same money they would have paid Crawford. There are a few guys that are worth $3,500,000 AAV that will perform better than Crawford. I have a tough time letting players I grew up watching go, but Crawford and the Hawks need to part ways.

Thank you for everything you’ve done, but more than $3,500,000 AAV is something the Hawks just cannot do.

Bleach Spine Pics

The latest is out. I missed the last couple ones so posting them here too. Just have a little one for the Peshe Don Cirucci et al pic (I think Minerva has bigger pic but her link was dead so I'll see if I can get her bigger pic later). GOT IT.

Just to tide you over until the scan comes out. I'm fairly chomping at the bit to comment on the chapter. Haven't been as excited about a chapter in a long time. I've seen various fans perplexed but I'm seeing a culmination of a lot of things as well as maybe FINALLY the coup de grâce regarding the Deicide chapter title--and it's not what we've been led to believe at all!
