He was the best so Fox/Scout hired him to be our National Baseball writer.
What do you think sets you apart from other experts when it comes to evaluating talent for the draft?
Kiley McDaniel: I think the biggest thing is that I don't just look at prospects the year leading up to them being drafted. For both high school and college players, I will see them as freshman and sophomores and start to come up with preliminary reports on them well before they are draft eligible. This way even if an injury were to happen , I still have a larger body of work to work off of.
In addition, when I talk to teams' scouts, they are pretty tight lipped when it comes to players that could be drafted by their team that year. But if I were to ask them about a player that wont be drafted for another year or two they will give me their honest evaluation, there is no strategic benefit to them withholding information on a player that wont be drafted for a few years. Most experts will start evaluating talent for the next years draft around now that this years draft is over and summer leagues are starting. I already have a top 50 list for 2015 as well as an even further out list for 2016.
Does that make me necessarily better? I don't know, but it at least gives me a wider scope to work with when evaluating talent.
Do you evaluate your own mock draft?
Kiley McDaniel: I am not sure about evaluate. I will go through and see how many I got right in the first round and check them off. I think I got four or five of the top ten, and the ones I didn't it was my number two option. Once you get passed the top ten or so picks it just becomes an educated guess for most of the teams.
Picks 15-30 your usually lucky if you get three of them right. This was one of those years especially where there was a huge range, not necessarily of premier talent, but rather players that all evaluated as low first early second round players.
When fans look at your big board, I think we expect a team that selects 13, 51, 86, 117 etc.. to pick a player in that range on your board. Obviously it is not even close to that. Is it just a signability issue? Or teams having different opinions on whose better?
Kiley McDaniel: Part of it is that my board in particular is made by me. There are thousands of players in the country and for a lot of them the last time I see them might be in January or February. A team's scout might have seen something completely different when they saw them in April or May.
Another thing is that there is not a huge difference between players in the 60's and maybe a player in the 120's. Once you get to the second round or later a team could select a player that was number 121 on my list and the next team could select a player that is 121 on my list and I wouldn't think of it as an overdraft or a bad pick.
In football every player is within one or two years of eachother and nearly all of them have played in the national spotlight (or at least ESPN once). With baseball you have 17 year olds from a small town in the middle of nowhere all the way up to 23 year olds from major colleges. After the first round if your team selected a player that was lower or higher than their pick you cant really read much into it other than the team really liked that player.
Does signability affect the rankings?
Kiley McDaniel: It does, but it shouldn't. I try to rank them on ability not on signability, but I know there were players that I have had in the past in the top 50 and I look at Baseball America and they have the same player listed at 130 just because he probably wont sign, but say the player has top 50 talent.
Well if they have top 50 talent and you are ranking based on talent why wouldn't they be in the top 50? So I try not to let it affect my rankings, but it does a little.
You were one of the few experts to have Trea Turner as a top 10 player. Do you buy into him as a top 10 talent?
Kiley McDaniel: Turner specifically is one of the guys that give the greatest benefit to scouting them before they were draft eligible. I saw him as a freshman, I saw him a lot as a sophomore. I saw him over the summer and this spring. When all the scouts were bearing down on him, I already knew his trajectory. I was with the Pirates a few years ago and he was one of the guys we were strongly looking at to draft out of high school. So I already have a history with him.
His trajectory was originally the unknown guy who is a good athlete to a guy who added some strength but was primarily speed. All the way up to a guy who has great speed, some power, and the ability to be a good to great hitter at the plate. He matured a lot at college and started hitting lights out, breaking every record, and almost never was caught stealing while stealing 60 bases a season. It was kind of unbelievable just how good he was his freshman and sophomore year.
Then he got hurt at the very end of his sophomore year. It wasn't really enough to make him sit out, but he played through the injury. He stil performed well, but as summer ball and his junior year started he wasn't performing at the elite level he was previously. Of course this is the time that all of these national scouts start looking at him for the first time, and he is showing less than ideal ability.
Why do you think other writers were so down on him?
Kiley McDaniel: It really is amazing how little national scouts and writers pay attention to underclassman. When I talk to them the reaction is always, it doesn't matter how good an underclassman is our readers want to know about this years' draft class.
So when they started finally looking at Tuner, he wasn't healthy, didn't have the same range that he did previously, and moved to second during the team USA league. Which automatically led scouts to believe he wouldn't be able to stick at short even though when healthy he is one of the best shortstops defensively in the draft.
After the summer leagues they already went into spring ball with a negative feeling towards Turner. I think the injury caused his mechanics at the plate to change, even though he was finally healthy and he didn't hit well. I mean the numbers were still good but it wasn't what you would expect out of a top ten talent. The scouting indicators including his mechanics were off, which led to an even lower opinion.
Finally the last month or so everything clicked back into place. If you evaluate him from a high school senior to a college junior you come up with the opinion that he got hurt, fiddled with his mechanics, then got back on track.
Overall a really good talent. If you looked at him just while he was playing through the injury you would see an overhyped guy that really didn't have any skills other than great speed. Even the national cross-checkers really won't see a player again after one or two looks at the beginning of the college season. So when the teams come up with their big boards they look at Turner and have a negative feeling with him because of the small injured sample size instead of his whole body of work. Its also why I believe in my ranking system.
Were the Padres always connected with him even after the struggles?
Kiley McDaniel: He was a player that the Padres really liked at the very preliminary stages of the draft, but thought he would be taken ahead of him.
As he began to fall the Padres were still really high on him and connected with him. Even when some experts were saying he would fall to the 20's San Diego was still connected with him. I have a lot of respect the Padres and their front office so their still being linked with him, didn't necessarily change my evaluation of him but gave me more confidence in still sticking with him as a Top Ten talent. Of course Turner helped us both out by having a really good final month where everything clicked back into place.
How similar of a comp to Michael Gettys is Donavan Tate? Is this another boom or bust pick?
Kiley McDaniel: I like to stay away from comps especially when it is with a player who failed, but you're not too far off.
Gettys is another player I have seen a lot, and have talked to him a lot off the field. He is unbelievably talented, top few rounds talent as a hitter and if he wanted to be a pitcher would still be a top five round pick. I wasn't covering the draft on a national perspective during Tate's draft, and he wasn't someone we were scouting.
From what I know Gettys has a more compact and quicker swing than Tate, whereas Tate was more of a power hitter. But they are built similar. Both were boom or bust picks
I was talking to a scout a few days ago about the Brewers draft, as they drafted Harrison and Gatewood who I had back to back to back with Gettys.
All three of them are boom or bust picks, and they were saying that chances are one of them will reach their potential. While that might be true for the money you will be paying them, you'd like to make sure you are getting something in return. I think Gettys will cost the least of the three so I automatically like him a little more, and he is the only one that has a back up option to switch to the mound.
In my opinion I think Gettys has the best chance of the three of them to hit, although it is pretty close. You can argue that Gettys has the best bat speed and the best defender of the three.
Harrison already signed for 1.8, and Gettys will probably come in a little below that. Gettys is a boom or bust guy, but considering where he was taken, and assuming he doesn't ask for more than 1.5-1.6, I don't have any issue with the pick. Especially when you combine it with the value of other picks in the draft that I like. In this way even if Gettys becomes a bust it is still a solid draft.
Is there any other pick in the draft for the Padres you were particularly high on?
Kiley McDaniel: Lemond is a really interesting pick. Obviously the Padres took him there because they think they can sign him, but he will be an over-slot guy. I'm very curious what his number is.
Just as a background nearly every pitcher at Rice that has been drafted in the top five rounds has needed major arm surgery. Its kind of amazing the track record that Rice has with major arm injuries with pitchers.
It mainly stems from the track record of overuse that is known to happen at Rice. Lemond is a slightly different story as he was in the bullpen his first two seasons. This year he started in the pen but due to injuries moved to starting which he had never done before in college.
He is a power pitcher 93-95, decent breaking ball, doesn't really throw a change. I had a scout tell me that his first start he was sitting 94-98, was throwing an outstanding change that no one had seen, and the ball was just exploding out of his hand.
By his second start, scouts were already thinking that he could move up to a top 15 pick in the draft. Then he got hurt right after that. New broke that after his second start he complained of elbow soreness, but was told to go out there anyway. After his fifth start he was done for a more serious injury, and many thought it was going to be Tommy John.
Then he came back in relief the last month of the season, so I guess he didn't need the surgery, and came back out of the pen and was still throwing 96. It looks like this coach tried to screw him up, and try as he might, Lemond didn't need the surgery.. yet.
Lemond has legit #3 starter stuff, if he gets stretched out properly and can stay healthy. Or he can be a really good 8th inning guy throwing 96-98 in the pen. If his medicals check out, and he pitches some this year and stays healthy, he could be a really interesting pick.
I'm not sure if I like him better as a starter or a reliever, but he has definite big league value if he can stay healthy, and not a bad gamble for a third round choice.
He is a boom or bust pick, because of injury. I would think between him and Gettys one of them would come through. If Lemond succeeds you have a legit mid rotation starter or back end reliever, although if Gettys comes through you have a perennial all star. Those will be the two guys to really watch from this draft, especially developmentally.
Any make-up or mental issues with anyone in the draft?
Kiley McDaniel: Not that I know of. Both Gettys and Turner are really good make-up guys. They are hard workers and guys you want to have on your team. I don't know Lemond as well but I would assume he is too, if the Padres were going to draft him so high. If they fail it shouldn't be because of a lack of effort.
What did you think of the Manziel pick?
Kiley McDaniel: My initial thought was that at least one team liked him over Bortles and Bridgewater. Not sure if the other baseball people got the joke though.

Morning Heating Oil Market Report 9/14
October heating oil prices registered a new high for the move during the initial morning hours, which was the highest level since April 3. A surge in risk-taking sentiment, gains in the euro currency against the US dollar and further upside action in Brent crude oil seemed to offer early support. While most of the upside action in heating oil appears to be coming from a decisive shift in risk appetites, some traders suggested that support could be coming on prospects for a slight pullback in Midwest distillate output due to refinery maintenance.

325 Fun And Frugal Homeschool Resources
source: Charlotte90T
When I first started homeschooling my son I decided we would follow an exact school curriculum. That meant rigorous math, spelling, reading, social studies and science with plenty of homework thrown in.
It was a total disaster.
My son was exhausted and miserable. I was a nervous wreck. It took me all of 24 hours to realize my method was never going to work.
Instead, I totally changed gears.
I got hold of a curriculum guide and made sure we followed it. But instead of using mostly textbooks, wherever possible, I looked for other resources. In other words, instead of teaching civil war from a text, we read a fact-filled historical novel. Instead of doing jumping jacks and pushups for phys ed, we went ice skating and horseback riding. Instead of making him memorize math facts by rote, we used fun math games and software.
As a result of my constant search for fun materials, I became an expert on finding resources.
Here are a couple of our favorites. Of course, the list has been updated, as many of the things we used are longer available and newer and better resources have come out in recent years.
By the way, this list is far from complete, so please feel free to send me comments with the resources you enjoy using.

LEXINGTON -- In the end, the comeback kids didn't have another one in them, as Shelby lost 8-6 to West Jessamine in the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament Monday.
"I thought we had it in us," Rocket Coach Bart Roettger said. "When you have the tying run at second base in the last inning, that's all you can ask for."

CARROLLTON – Eric Standafer singled home the winning run in the bottom 11th inning Thursday night lifted Shelby County past Anderson County, 10-9, in an epic 8th Region championship that last 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Standafer also hit the game-tying home run in the sixth inning that allowed the Rockets to extend the game in the first of two comebacks that allowed the Rockets to advance to the State Tournament.

|[Jakarta-commons Wiki] Update of "id/1.0ReleasePlan" by PhilSteitz
|Sun, 29 Jan 2006 20:26:48 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta-commons Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by PhilSteitz: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/id/1%2e0ReleasePlan The comment on the change is: Add reminder to fix checkstyle.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most of the generator implementations could be made serializable without any problem. Serialization should be ensured by appropriate unit tests though. The serializable implementation should also support a serialVersionUID. We might either use just 1L or the date we added this UID in form of YYYYMMDDL. Setup test code to ensure binary compatibility with future versions. * Clean-up exception handling Some methods have currently signatures for exceptions they do not throw. Some code throws a simple RuntimeException instead of introducing a derived exception for the commons-id components. A lot of internally runtime exceptions are not mentioned in the javadoc. - * Improve test path coverage and fix remaining style issues + * Improve test path coverage and fix remaining style issues (decide what we care about and fix Checkstyle.xml to ignore things we dont care about) * Unify initialization of unit tests (./) A lot of unit tests use a suite method, have a constructor to parametrise the name and have a main method. All of this is normally not necessary in modern IDEs. In Eclipse this is even worse, since you cannot click on the run tests to switch to the test's source. * Check year of copyright in touched files --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

This is awesome!Too bad I only have an Associates Degree. :(Know of any other companies with a good reputation that would accept losers like me?
I'm a fluent Mandarin speaker. Does that give me an advantage? (I'm American, by the way, just studied Chinese for 10+ years and spent time in China)
Webcam required, yes. And computer only, not mobile. But not a bad system, for sure. I made $1552 in March.
Just passed the first interview! YAY! I'm super excited about this. This is basically all the favorite parts of my old job (teaching english and reading to mexican kids in a primary classroom, 1-3rd grade) minus all the bad parts (classroom management).My headset didn't work with my chromebook. As in the chromebook doesn't recognize that I've even plugged it in. I almost cancelled the interview, and then decided to just try it, and it worked fine.I'd love to debug the headset issue, but happy to know I can move forward in the meantime.
I actually just sent TMI a PM about this. I'm very interested. Congrats on passing the interview!What are the specs on your Chromebook? I'm thinking about buying a cheap one like the one below specifically for doing this side-gig.https://www.amazon.com/Chromebook-C202SA-YS02-Ruggedized-Resistant-Celeron/dp/B01DBGVB7K/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01DBGVB7K&pd_rd_r=NMW4K9HN9N7Z30CW57CW&pd_rd_w=C3tou&pd_rd_wg=eUOB6&psc=1&refRID=NMW4K9HN9N7Z30CW57CW
vindicated: I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Acer-11-6-Chromebook-16GB-CB3-111-C4HT/dp/B00XARX1C4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1492729186&sr=8-7&keywords=acer+chromebook+11, and I got it refurbished for $130. Best purchase ever. Couldn't be more happy. So much better than a laptop.TMI, I DID use a regular headphone jack! Weird! I was going to try a USB jack next. I read online and they say to do a powerwash, except it doesn't work even from guest mode, so I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I passed! So the headset mike works, but the audio comes through my computer speaker. Anyway, I guess it's not going to matter because I'm in! woohoo! Thanks for the referral!
Bumping to follow...So in terms of taxes, this would be "miscellaneous income" I assume? 1099-MISC?
I'm interested in this -- can someone who has taught a class tell me what I should expect? I work full-time, is this something that I could do sporadically / on weekends, or does it need to be a regular commitment? Can I use regular audio jack headphones with mic or do I need a fancypants headset?Thanks!

In actuality, Eager wants to return to racketeering by opening a dog-racing track, but the man who put him behind bars is in the way. When that man's stepdaughter falls for Eager, the crook uses her as leverage to get what he wants. In this world of deceit, Jeff Hartnett is Eager's only friend.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was sentenced for mail fraud in Federal court with no other charges against me. Served 2 years in a prison camp and now on Federal probation with restitution. I was only hit with 1 count of mail fraud (1 Felony conviction)
No. No state has jurisdiction to prosecute the offense of mail fraud, and therefore, no state can impose a sentence of any type on that offense.
Joshua Sabert Lowther, Esq.
There is no state charge for "mail fraud" as you have described. What can happen, however, is a state can prosecute you for a different crime, such as "theft," that could subject you to jeopardy in the state system. Talk to your criminal defense attorney about all of these possibilities.
In no way am I offering you legal advice, and in no way has my comment created an attorney-client relationship. You are not to rely upon my note above in any way, but insted need to sit down with counsel and share all relevant facts before receiving fully-informed legal advice. If you want to be completely sure of your rights, you must sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney to be fully aware of your rights.Ask a similar question
I agree with my compatriots above - there is no State charges for Mail Fraud as it is a Federally controlled Service.Ask a similar question
If you're asking whether a state could have jurisdiction over you and charge you with an offense related to the mail fraud offense, the answer could be "yes." Thus, if someone plead to mail fraud in federal court, a state court could pursue charges for grand theft or other state charges. However, one would need to know more facts. Why do you think the state is considering charges? You certainly wouldn't serve state time without any other case. If it has already been 2+ years since you were sentenced, it would seem that the state would have acted sooner. However, the question doesn't make complete sense to me and I feel like some key facts are being omitted.Ask a similar question

Fall to Layout #7 Friendship
This was a really fast and easy card to make. I used an oval nestability to cut out a mask for the card front. I used temporary tape to tape the mask to the card and sponged in the colors. The I stamped the butterfly image and the sentiment. I finished it off with the ribbon. Supplies: Stamps - Lizzie Anne Designs Au Naturale; Ink - Marvy Blending Block, Versafine Black Onyz; Misc - sponge, nestabilities, scrap paper, ribbon

Chanting "Bradley Cooper is just fine, but Ryan Gosling is divine," a well-behaved group of protesters occupied the sidewalk outside People magazine's New York headquarters on Friday to protest the magazine's choice of The Hangover star as 2011's "Sexiest Man Alive."
While hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters descended on the streets nearby, the Gosling supporters – far fewer in number – raised placards that read, "Ryan was Robbed!" and "You Messed Up!", and held up cutouts of the handsome actor's face. Another popular chant was "one, two, three, four, Bradley Cooper's such a bore. Five, six, seven, eight, Ryan Gosling's super great!"
The snub to Gosling, 31, who grew up in Cornwall, Ont., was also noted this week by his Ides of March co-star George Clooney (a two-time winner of the title) who quipped in an Extra interview earlier this week, "It's got to be Ryan [Gosling] don't you think? He's been training and working so hard for it, Ryan Gosling has – he really wants it.
"The whole time we were on the set of Ides he was like, 'How did you pull that off?' So I called up Brad Pitt and we worked with him for weeks, the walk, we told him how to train, everything."
On Facebook, supporters of the Canadian actor created The Pro-Gosling People Magazine Protest, while a "human rights" petition was launched on Change.org that currently has 3,668 signatures.
Even comedian Stephen Colbert, of The Colbert Report got into the act, taking People magazine to task for picking Cooper as Sexiest Man when previous years' winner – such as Matthew McConaughey and (tongue in cheek) Nick Nolte – were still alive. "Sexiest Man Alive should be like the Supreme Court: Once you are picked, you are sexiest for life," the comedian said.
People Magazine, however, staunchly defends its choice of the 36-year-old Cooper, who joins the ranks of previous sexy winners including Johnny Depp and its first recipient, Mel Gibson in 1985.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to the "sexist" man alive, not the "sexiest." This online version has been corrrected.Report Typo/Error

We are advised to focus on "the nearly $100 million the City has had to pay on police misconduct settlements and Court losses since the NSA went into effect." Indeed, why did the City capitulate to an NSA when none of the so-called Riders police were ever convicted? Why does city attorney Barbara Parker get to accept the maximum legal campaign donation from attorney John Burris and then tell the city council again and again to pay out settlements to him and his clients without ever fighting his extortions in a courtroom? And how much money was paid like this: "A lady I knew bragged that her brother had been selling drugs on West Oakland streets since he was 16. His jaw was broken by a rival dealer, but he blamed OPD and got a nice little settlement to expand his operations." ( http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/25/opi… )
Hopefully Tony Serra will reveal the true criminal enterprise that politics in the city of Oakland have become over the past 30 years in his presentation as he represents his client in the "Ghost Ship" fire case.
The homelessness issue in Oakland is part of a plan. Were it not for the 8,000 homeless people being herded from place to place in Oakland, there wouldn't be a need for a police commission.
The City of Oakland could get enough money from Wells Fargo to solve all of it's problems but the conflicts of interest run so deep that Libby Schaaf would be putting her political career at risk to pressure the bank for the money to resolve the problem...
The story is on Facebook pages titled, Real Estate Crisis or Government Sanctioned Racketeering?
There is also a book titled "Ghost Ship, Eliminating Poverty In America"
My name is Allen Sanford...
Instead of focusing on the Monitoring costs...try the nearly $100 million the City has had to pay on police misconduct settlements and Court losses since the NSA went into effect.....for police conduct that too often has amounted to both violations of the law and the terms of the NSA. Breaking the law to enforce the law does not make us szfer, nor does keeping and promoting cops that break the law, to buy momentary political peace with the OPOA.
Ms. Grinage wrings her hands over the cost of federal oversight. Well, court-appointed monitor Robert Warshaw rakes in millions of dollars year after year by never finding Oakland in compliance. He always finds something, about as important as not tieing shoelaces per regulation. A simple remedy to prevent this abuse is a one-year limit on holding the monitoring contract; then if needed, someone else gets the contract. But Ms. Grinage hasn't called for this reform, because she has a personal grudge against OPD. And the City hasn't the guts to push for this rule, appealing over Henderson if necessary.

Can't wait for the new Police Commission to make a difference...with ex-felons on the board every criminal and BLM member should get what they ask for...talk about corruption and runaway trains!
Top notch journalism
Thank the Goddess for Judge Henderson
Meanwhile the EBX sock puppets keeps waving sex scandals in the face of the electorate to distract from the problems of homelessness, poverty and corruption in the city.
Allowing the long seated corrupt city council and it's profiteering supporters to run rampant over the the majority of Oakland citizens.
Thank you Eastbay Express
And millions more in taxpayer dollars now must be committed to ongoing Federal oversight which has already cost the City of Oakland more than $30 million. And still, the OPD budget continues to increase yearly with many millions of unbudgeted overtime.We are hostages on a runaway train hurtling down the tracks. We can only pray that the Oakland Police Commission will, in time, provide the kind of oversight and accountability that the City has thus far been able to achieve.
Great article and follow-on reporting. And, believe me, there are good cops and great cops on the Oakland Police Dept. You just don't hear about them because they do their jobs and serve the city the way they're supposed to. And the pieces of crap who disgrace those of us who wore the badge proudly...well, who needs 'em.
Great digging and great article. Thanks for staying on top of this.
Sorry, Peter, but we do in fact need cops... We just need good ones, not the trash Oakland has had since at least the days of Jerry Brown (and probably before).
How do we get them when the corruption flows all the ways from the citizens? I just don't know. As long as "I gotta get mine" is operating here, I suspect this will repeat over an over. As long as EBX and the rest of the press (the third estate) sock puppets for the corrupt politicians, we'll never get a straight story.
As satisfying as it might seem to march on city hall with "pitchforks and torches", it's not particularly useful. Nor is "throw the bums out!" (politicians).
We just get a new set and have no idea what they're up to until the mess explodes all over again and the sock puppets cozy up to the new trough to feed off of the slop, telling only the part of the story the keeps the slop flowing.
We do not and never did need cops. They are carbuncles on the body politic.
Shameful denial of the democratic process! If I can't get my way government can't be allowed to work. Sounds like president Donald Trump.

Yelp is an evil company, they were so stupid on the way they manage their company, money first, careless about anything else. If you don't listen to what they are asking for or don't do a highly cost ad with them, they will do everything that they can in order to destroy your business, by showing all the bad reviews and filter all the good reviews, just like what they did with Massinos pizza. They even go on Google and spend a lot of money in order to try to take business from you and send it to your competition using EAT24.com which they bought couple years ago (evil doing and unfair to any human beings).
It is just a matter of time for Yelp to be sued and that is the only way for the CEO to stop this evil work.
Yelp came alive by paying people to go eat at all restaurants if that person puts a review on Yelp, and after few years and after they fed a lot of people, and managed every review on Yelp (filter what ever review they want and show what ever they want for any particular business), then they start calling all business and ask them to put ads on Yelp in order to get more business (which a lot of business did go for but others were disadvantaged if they couldn't afford to pay for a costly ad on Yelp).
Yelp advertising team call us multiple time (at least once a week for the last 3 years) asking us to put ad on Yelp in order to get more business and they will improve Masinos rating on Yelp, but we couldn't afford it (asking for at least $300/month contract), but I told them that I gave you my business website through EAT24.com where they were generating an average of $760 (online ordering processing fees through our website, just in 2016, we processed over $70000, and Yeld received 10 % of that ($7000), but still not happy. Then, they stopped calling, and they started the evil work online, by filtering all good reviews and showing mostly nasty reviews.
Then in 2017, I noticed the online ordering through our website was declining because EAT24 is redirecting our customers to their APP where they show the Yelp rating (only 2.5 stars but on Google we have 3.5 stars, tripadviser 4 stars, etc), I started calling them in order to ask why sales are declining, and explained that one of the reason is the Yelp low rating, and when they redirect to their website and showing other business with higher rating than Massinos, of course the sales will decline. EAT24 couldn't do anything of course, just because Yelp is in charge, and yelp wanted more money from us.
So I had to close EAT24 account, and switched our website to Menufy, which in just 2 months, sales were tripled.
Then EAT24 were so upset, they started that evil work just like Yelp, by trying everything in order to take business from Massinos and give it to our competition which are signed up with EAT24/Yelp.
Is this how a bad company (EAT24/YELP) operates, when they lose some business, they need to work harder in order to make that customer very upset, or they will work very hard and understand the issues that led to the lost of business and try harder to get it that business back. Stupid thinking and reactionsfrom EAT24/Yelp.
This article is very misleading because it lacks detail.
At the end of the day there are some very obvious reasons why the proposal does not adequately address the problem.
1.) Homeless people were not included in the discussion or development of this proposal. IT is all based on assuming what homeless people want and not the reality of need.
2. It is ridiculous to continually speak of building shelters and not low income or no income housing.
3. This proposal is an expansion of the homeless services industry. It only provides some with very temporary escape from the sidewalk. What it does do is create more paid staff positions none of which are available to the homeless
4. The dollar amount spoken of is above and beyond what is already being spent mainly on providing temporary or emergency shelter
5. In a scathing critique of the pathways proposal it is clear that homeless people are not going to voluntarily be warehoused in a koncentration kamp setting
6. The City in a sideways manner admits there is no funding source for this proposal. It is all a wish and a prayer
7. There is no location that has been identified or committed to this proposal

|[jira] Commented: (HDFS-1263) 0.20: in tryUpdateBlock, the meta file is renamed away before genstamp validation is done
|Wed, 23 Jun 2010 16:45:51 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1263?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12881739#action_12881739 ] sam rash commented on HDFS-1263: -------------------------------- several thoughts/comments: my reading of the code is that the temp file was to make the creating of a meta file that is both truncated and has the new genstamp and atomic operation on the filesystem. If we rename first and crash and recover, then how do we know that the truncation didn't finish? (without information from the NN or other node giving us a new length). If we truncate first, then we have effectively corrupted a block. can you also explain the error state that results? (truncated blocks, infinite loops, bad meta-data, etc) and do i follow that a client started 2 lease recoveries? or was this a client and a NN somehow? (ie, how were there concurrent recoveries of the same block) seems like extra synchronization in parts of updateBlock might help as well. also, we check the genstamp is moving upwards both at the start of updateBlock and at the end of tryUpdateBlock. do you know why? > 0.20: in tryUpdateBlock, the meta file is renamed away before genstamp validation is done > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1263 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1263 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: data-node > Affects Versions: 0.20-append > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Fix For: 0.20-append > > > Saw an issue where multiple datanodes are trying to recover at the same time, and all of them failed. I think the issue is in FSDataset.tryUpdateBlock, we do the rename of blk_B_OldGS to blk_B_OldGS_tmpNewGS and *then* check that the generation stamp is moving upwards. Because of this, invalid update block calls are blocked, but they then cause future updateBlock calls to fail with "Meta file not found" errors. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

The big problem with being a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller like Closed Circuit is that newsprint turns yellow pretty quickly, so yesterday's news can look like, well, yesterday's news.
Still, the opening of this Byzantine, London-set, post-9/11 conspiracy courtroom thriller can't help but set the neck-hairs on end. Images from multiple closed-circuit surveillance cameras capture a horrific explosion in a public market, culminating in a long shot of the smoke rising above the city's grey skyline. It's a potent evocation of bombings past – especially those in London in 2005 – and sets a tone of chilling urban vulnerability. Alas, the rest of the movie fails to cash in on that compelling start.
Like Thatcher-era, end-of-the-empire conspiracy dramas such as Edge of Darkness, Defence of the Realm and The Ploughman's Lunch, John Crowley's Closed Circuit focuses on the high-casualty intersection where journalism, jurisprudence and politics collide. But while the potential wreckage here is real, complicated and profound, the treatment in this case is almost opportunistically superficial. The title suggests a pun on both surveillance and state secrecy, yet the movie never quite articulates that duality properly.
When a dark-skinned Muslim man named Farroukh Erdogan (Denis Moschitto) is seized and locked up as a suspect in the bombing, he is, under British law, represented by two attorneys: one an arrogant but accomplished public attorney named Martin Rose (Eric Bana); the other a closed court "special advocate" named Claudia Simmons-Howe (Rebecca Hall). The special advocate comes into play when evidence in the case is deemed too potentially dangerous to public safety to be revealed in court, and therein lies Closed Circuit's ostensibly defining question: At what point is keeping evidence secret simply a convenient excuse for state misbehaviour?
It's an interesting question, especially in light of recent history's revelations concerning state spin and media manipulation, but it's not one that Closed Circuit chooses to meaningfully address. Instead, we find that our supposedly divided defence lawyers were once romantically linked. That leaves us suspecting that we're watching a real-world conspiracy thriller with a Hepburn and Tracy spin.
It doesn't help that there's no chemistry between Hall's special advocate and Bana's defence attorney. And sadly, the movie's lack of a clear identity – is it a thriller, soap, legal drama or action chase movie? – makes it difficult to understand why anyone should care.

Northern Ireland is currently undertaking public administration reforms organised around three main objectives: improving strategic approaches, improving operational delivery of services to citizens and businesses, and improving engagement with people. This review supports those reforms by providing an assessment and recommendations on a wide range of issues, including strategy-setting and co-ordination, strategic government-wide human resources management, open government, regulatory reform and digital government. It highlights areas where Northern Ireland possesses strengths upon which to build future reforms and suggests actions for the future. This is the first Public Governance Review to be conducted by the OECD at the subnational level.
The answer to the question "how's life?" depends on where you live. The factors that determine well-being can vary dramatically across the same country so national averages may not provide the full picture. See our regional indicators to see exactly how life is being lived.
Compare how cities across the world are shaping up to the challenges of water governance. Analysis includes a range of governance issues including stakeholder engagement, water loss, sanitation and access to drinking water.
This project drew on the initiatives for Better Regulation promoted by both the EU and the OECD over the last few years.
Country notes outlining regional variations in health, jobs, safety, environment, access to services, civic engagement, housing, education, income, and employment. These notes are from the OECD publication "How's Life in Your Region?".
The global economic crisis has had a profound impact on people's well-being, reaching far beyond the loss of jobs and income, and affecting citizens' satisfaction with their lives and their trust in governments, according to a new OECD report.
Secretary-General Angel Gurría welcomes a network of senior officials attending the 31st Centres of Government (COG) meeting held in London. Highlights include the importance of institutions in economic reform through improved co-ordination, outreach and transparency.
Despite significant increases in spending on child care and education during the last decade, PISA scores suggest that educational performance remains static, uneven and strongly related to parents' income and background.
Rural England plays a significant role in the economy of the United Kingdom, but an even larger social and cultural role, and being geographically compact is is unique among OECD regions.
This book sheds light on the use of tax expenditures, mainly through a study of ten OECD countries: Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. It highlights key trends and successful practices.

At The Rijksmuseum, Old Paintings Get New Names
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam recently made headlines when it removed offensive words, like "negro" and "dwarf," from the titles and descriptions of artworks in its collection. For example, a portrait painted circa 1900 titled "Young Negro Girl" will be changed to "Young Girl Holding a Fan." John McWhorter thinks that's a bad idea. The Columbia professor of linguistics joins Kurt Andersen to discuss how museums should balance cultural sensitivity against the preservation of historical context.
Kurt Andersen: So, the Rijksmuseum is trying to be more sensitive and inclusive. That's OK, right?
John McWhorter: No, they're taking it too far. To take those words away from works of art from a very long time ago is going too far, and in a way implying that people of color are more delicate than I think any of us are. I can honestly say that I'm not hurt [by the title "Young Negro Girl"]. I'm not in the brains of every other black American I know, but I'm pretty sure that none of them are hurt either — as long as you don't call a painting that now.
The somewhat dangerous slippery slope is, 50 years from now, if we've changed all these things, it will look like "Wow, we were always good! We were never racist!"
That's right. Last time I checked, you go to a museum, in large part, to see how the past led to the present. The idea is to gain a sense of the passage of time. And we certainly don't want to pretend that things that went on in the past were uniformly good — we want to see the bad parts, too. It's part of understanding our development as a species.
How connected is this issue of changing the names of paintings in a museum collection to, for instance, those who would like "Huckleberry Finn" to be assigned to students with the dozens of instances of its famous unsayable word removed?
All of this is evidence of a good thing, which is that, in educated mainstream culture, it is now considered pretty much the moral equivalent of pedophilia to be racist. That's good, that's a wonderful thing. However, when it gets to the point that you're doing these things that have nothing to do with making life better for people of color, it seems to me that it's a waste of energy, not to mention a distortion of history.
I look at the museum world in the United States, and it is a very white place, they are all concerned about it being too white, and their collections being too white, and…I wonder if this is a gesture to make things seem better without having to find a black curator, say.
Yeah, frankly it's a lot easier to change these labels.

Walking in the Light Tested by Belief (4 of 9) by Richard Laue
This content is part of a series.Walking in the Light Tested by Belief (4 of 9)
(By recognizing the anti-Christ for who he is)
Richard Laue
I John 2:18-28
So far in I John we have considered the tests of life, which are four ... Revelation, Manifestation, Participation, and Anticipation. We have considered fellowship tested by the believer's walk. To walk in the light is to do five things: Confess sin as guilt, confess sin as fact, keep his commandments, keep His Word, and walk as Christ walked. Last week, we considered walking in the light tested by love. We discovered two tests: Walking in the light is tested by our love for our brethren ... and ... Walking in the light is tested by not loving the world.
Today, we consider walking in the light tested by belief. The underlying theme is to be able to recognize Antichrist when he appears.
During World War II many people believed that Hitler was the Anti-Christ. After World War II many believed Joseph Stalin to be the Anti-Christ. In recent years some believed the Anti-Christ was Henry Kissinger. Some won't name him, but they believe he is living today. Some feel that he is already a religious leader, and he will soon become an international leader. Some who voted for Jimmy Carter now think him to be the Anti-Christ. All of this indicates that it is difficult to identify the AntiChrist. If we are looking for a person, it is difficult to identify him, but the Scriptures are clear in revealing characteristics of Anti-Christ. We know that there will be revealed the person of the Antichrist during the Tribulation, but we better wake up and watch and take a look at the Bible. John said, "Even now, there are many Anti-christs."
John said, "It is the last time." It has been the last time for 2,000 years. So things are later than we think. It is like the old farmer. His clock went crazy and struck 17 times. He poked his wife and said, "Get up, Honey. It is later than it has ever been before."
I Peter 4:7 ... The end of all things are at ha ...

Selby has become an irritant to three-time world champion O'Sullivan after making a habit of fighting back to beat him in major finals. The Leicester player won 9-8 from 8-5 down against O'Sullivan in the 2008 Welsh Open and then 10-9 from 9-6 behind at January's Wembley Masters.
This was another example of his refusal to accept looming defeat, as Selby won the final four frames to earn an 13-11 victory.
Selby began the evening session 9-7 behind but knowing that O'Sullivan, who was curiously booed by a minority of spectators as he entered the arena, would be expecting him to fight all the way.
They had started the day at 4-4 but O'Sullivan threatened to run away with the afternoon session, winning five of the first six frames with breaks of 92, 89, 86, 117 and 52. The flurry of high breaks made the next two frames critical, and Selby took both with runs of 104 and 62 to begin the fightback.
He also won two of the first three frames of the evening to cut O'Sullivan's lead to 10-9, and was well placed in the next when he missed a routine black. For O'Sullivan the chance was an unexpected gift and he raced to 75 to take the frame.
That meant Selby needed four of the next five to reach the semi-finals. He made it three from four required thanks to a smooth break of 108, and then two from three after a scrappier frame.
Both men had chances and missed easy balls in the 23rd frame but Selby's 46 break proved decisive as he swept into the lead.
O'Sullivan was in with a break of 36 at the start of the frame he needed to win to force a decider, but he broke down and Selby soon had a match-winning chance. He needed more than one visit to the table to make sure, but when he rifled in the brown O'Sullivan rose from his seat to shake his conqueror's hand.
Ali Carter won another final-frame thriller on the other table, with the 2008 runner-up knocking out 2005 champion Shaun Murphy 13-12.
