A white swim club voted on Monday, July 13, to ask the black and Hispanic children that members kicked out to come back to the pool. Last week the Internet roiled with outrage at the Valley Swim Club of Huntington Valley, Pa., after its members ousted the young campers. Some people were flabbergasted that its president spoke freely saying the children's presence would "change the complexion of the club."
Many people of all ethnic groups hearing the story screamed it was an example of blatant racism. Others thought it was a misunderstanding. Some felt the children must have misbehaved, even though club members did not say that.
Oh, the club members have felt just awful about this, and now warmly open their arms saying it's been a big misunderstanding, words have been taken out of context, the event--blown out of proportion. Too little too late, says Alethea Wright, director of the daycare and summer camp program.
She told CNN, "These children are scarred. How can I take those children back there?"
The center has lawyers and it's off to the courts they go, lawsuit filed. In addition, Sen. Arlen Specter has called for an investigation into the incident.
Shortly after the initial story of the children's rejection ran at NBC Philadelphia, another facility contacted the camp and offered the children time at its pool. Also, a local business treated them to ice cream, the international childhood comfort food.
Before the re-invitation, some black mothers on the Web had already said that it wouldn't matter to them if the club apologized and opened its doors to the black children. They said they wouldn't let a black child, especially one of their own, near Valley Swim club members.
MsLadyDeborah of My Brown Eyed View said in comments on the BlogHer post:
There is no way that I would trust these people with the safety and well-being of my children. If their Blackness was an issue-why would any parent insist that their children be allowed to swim there? There is no way my sons would of put one toe in that pool without me being present everytime. It really made me angry that there were mothers who still wanted their children admitted. (comments)
SJP of Sojourner's Place in an eloquent post, "What Shall I Tell My Children Who Are Black?" said in her comments section the following:
I mean didn't they know that this was a white-only club? Now I'm all for exposing them - but not at the expense of the children. They had no idea, no frame of reference, for what they were about to experience. (SJP)
If the comments section on the re-invitation story at Jack & Jill Politics is any indication, few are feeling the love after the club vote either.
The sentiments to protect the children are very similar to those expressed by women in my family who questioned my mother's decision to let me be an "early integrator" in the south. I attended at least two schools in my lifetime that were either attempting to integrate by choice or were being forced to integrate by law, and I remember one of my mother's friends saying to her, "Fannie, I just don't know. I wouldn't sacrifice my child to the cause."
My mother did it because it was an important step toward freedom during her time. By example, she taught me not to cower, and yet years later when it was time for me to go to college, she was disappointed that I chose at first to attend a predominantly white university instead of a Historically Black College or University. I suppose she felt enough with making points and taking stands. Just get your degree. This may be the line of thought that drives some black mothers to say in 2009, "Enough is enough. We've done our part. Our children's psyches are more important than solving a societal evil that we suspect will never go away."
If some white private club doesn't want black members or even black and Hispanic guests, how important is it to fight for the right to be there in the Age of Obama? Should the response of the black community be "Fine. It's their loss," or should it scream like hell, join hands with white people who think racist behavior should never be tolerated, sing "Kum By Yah" with lawyers as they file lawsuits and ram down doors?
There are African-Americans who want nothing from the white community other than equal rights. They say to the black community, "Divest and let go." When incidents like the one at the Valley Swim Club arise, they see it as proof that racism is a given. Stop thinking about it and move on. However, if such attitudes of accepting separation and the natural tendency toward ethnic isolation in both communities prevail, will that harm democracy or help it?
Will accepting that the black kids still gravitate toward the same side of the lunchroom in some schools and in some cities black and white high school students feel more comfortable with separate proms make us stronger or is turning a blind eye to tribalism the same as leaving a powder keg in the middle of a room of smokers? Eventually somebody's going to drop a match.
For the record, the Valley Swim Club of Huntington Valley Pennsylvania, maintains that their initial action of kicking the black children out and telling them not to return had nothing at all to do with racism.
A private suburban swim club rocked by allegations of racism is still waiting to hear if a premoninantly black and Hispanic Philadelphia day camp will accept its invitation to return.
Valley Club president John Duesler said today that club members had voted overwhelmingly to reinvite the day camp students who had earlier been asked not to return.
"We realized it was the right thing to do," Duesler said today in the club's Lower Moreland driveway.
After he and other club officers endured withering criticism for revoking contracts that allowed dozens of children to swim at the club, Duesler said the board unanimously recommended to reinvite the groups. At a general meeting Sunday for the club's 150 member families, there was only one vote against the idea.
"It was nearly unanimous," Duesler said. (Philly.com)
Duesler is the person who said the children's presence would change the "complexion" of the club, and later changed that wording to say the children would "change the atmosphere." He is now saying what he meant was that there were too many children in the pool and it was a safety issue.
Then why didn't he say that when he told them to hit the road and not come back?
Pam at Pam's House Blend writes:
Plus, as Creative Steps founder and director Alethea Wright said "unless there's been some additional footage added to the pool, I don't see how we could return." Really. If the safety issue was the real concern (you know how that whole complexion thing is about numbers, right), what's changed to generate the invitation? No one's buying it. In order to accept an offer to return to the Valley Club, Creative Steps' attorney said the club's entire board must resign, and the bigots who hurled racist comments at the children need to be expelled from the club. (PHB)
Duesler, the VSC spokesman and president, has also been doing a lot of moaning and groaning that racism is against everything he stands for. According to Siditty, some people believe and defend him saying that he's a "liberal" who voted for Obama. Such a defense has prompted the observation that saying "I voted for Obama" may be the new form of "Some of my best friends are black."

Wales must control their emotions if they want to prevail in their second "Battle of Britain" match at Euro 2016, a last 16 game against Northern Ireland, manager Chris Coleman said on Friday.
Coleman's team were beaten 2-1 by England in the group stage despite taking the lead, and Coleman said while his team around superstar Gareth Bale fought well in that game they must now do better when they have possession on Saturday at the Parc des Princes.
"It was emotions, a derby. But tomorrow we must take the emotions out of it. You need emotion but if there is too much of it your game plan is out of the window," Coleman said.
"The message is that whether it is Turkey or Northern Ireland, they play in different shirts but it is irrelevant where they come from. We have to stick to our game plan and do what we are good at."
However, Northern Ireland counterpart Michaqel O'Neill was not so sure as he named the duel a "cup tie."
"I want my team to play with lots of emotion and to understand the significance of the game. They can't play without emotion. It will be a big factor in the game," he said.
"We understand the significance of playing another home nation. But the price is massive."
Coleman acknowledged again that Real Madrid's Gareth Bale and Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey are great assets to have but he praised the overall team effort and dedication which will be needed again to beat Northern Ireland.
"They are difficult to break down and don't give away easy goals. They defend deep and compact and are dangerous on the counter. But we concentrate on ourselves and don't want to get sucked into anyone else's game," Coleman said.
Captain Ashley Williams insisted that Wales can also be physical and fight apart from playing well.
Wales are considered favourites while Northern Ireland are ready to contain Bale and everyone else, and hope for another great showing from goalkeeper Michael McGovern - possibly in a shoot-out - in the return to the stadium where he frustrated world champions Germany on Monday in a narrow 1-0 defeat for Northern Ireland.
"If it comes to that (penalties) the team are well prepared and Michael could play a huge role in that. He is in brilliant form, and the team has confidence knowing Michael has the form he is in," O'Neill said.
"We need Gareth Bale to have a quiet night and its up to us to make that happen."
Both sides expect a great atmosphere from passionate fans so that both British teams can show their best in Europe in the aftermath of the Brexit vote result.
"We expect a good old-fashioned British game tomorrow night," O'Neill said.

India's most popular brand of automobiles Tata Motors has successfully launched its latest compact sedan, the Zest. They also offer several other products, both in India and international markets.
The Indian automobile giant manufactures cars, commercial vehicles, buses, trucks and more. Tata Motors also produces its Marcopolo buses, which are used mainly for public transport. Now the JnNURM scheme requires 623 of these buses for various State transport divisions.
Currently there are over 60,000 Tata Marcopolo buses functional within India. Some global markets also use a similar bus for public transport. This means the standard of the bus is on par with global standards.
Tata motors will provide 270 buses to Assam State Transport corporation. Meghalaya Urban Development Authority and Calcutta State Transport Corporation will get 120 Marcopolo buses each under the scheme.
Tripura Urban Transport Company Limited will get 73 buses, while Chhattisgarh Naya Raipur Development Authority will have 40 vehicles for them. Tata Motors has also bagged itself a JnNURM-II scheme for their urban buses. It is rumoured that the Indian manufacturer has bagged an order of 2,700 of its urban buses.
Tata Motors ED (commercial vehicles) Ravi Pisharody, commented, "These buses are manufactured at Tata Marcopolo Motors Limited world-class facility in Dharwad and Lucknow, with state-of-the-art technologies and expertise in systems for bodybuilding and bus body design, conforming to international standards in quality and safety as well as 'roll-over tests' as mandated by the Urban Development Ministry."

Nearly six years after the onset of the Great Recession, housing costs continue to be a struggle for many Americans, with just over half saying they've had to make at least one sacrifice in the past three years to pay their mortgage or rent.
And while economists and other experts say the housing crisis is past us, 70 percent of the public says they believe we're still in the midst of the crisis, with some saying the bottom has yet to be reached. That's according to a recent MacArthur Foundation survey of housing attitudes.
The survey found that 52 percent of Americans said they had to take some sort of unwanted step, such as taking an additional job, putting off retirement savings, reducing spending on health care, accumulating credit card debt or moving to a less desirable neighborhood, in order to cover their housing costs.
Most favor more action on housing
Six out of ten respondents said they think the government should be doing more to ensure access to affordable quality housing, though they did not distinguish between home rentals or purchases, with most favoring equal efforts to support both.
"The continuing stresses felt by the vast majority of Americans in the aftermath of the housing recession are real and profound," said Julia Stasch, MacArthur's vice president of U.S. Programs. "This survey provides insight into the substantial burden of costly and unstable housing, particularly for low and middle-income families."
She said the survey shows that Americans believe that more can and should do more to boost housing affordability for renters and owners. Six out of ten survey respondents said they think the government should take a more active role in this regard, with a majority favoring a balanced approach to both housing types.
Among a group identified as "distressed" homeowners, those spending more than 30 percent of their monthly income on housing, 27 percent said they had stopped saving for retirement during the last three years. Twenty-three percent said they had cut back on health care, and an identical number said they were running up credit card debt.
Fully half said the nation is still experiencing a housing crisis, while another one in five said they believe the crisis will worsen before it improves. Only one in four think the crisis has largely passed.
Called the How Housing Matters survey, it was the second in what is planned as an annual series of surveys for the MacArthur Foundation to assess American attitudes on housing. Results were based on landline and cellular telephone interviews of 1,355 adults.

How Do I Change the Dimensions of Text Boxes and Text Areas?Asked by debranancy on December 27, 2015 at 12:06 PM
JotForm Support
Could you please elaborate? To which box are you referring?
The text box is what I was referring to. I figured out how to move the edit box but the box below where an answer goes is what I can't figure out how to make larger. Thank you for your help.
Sent from my iPhone
JotForm Support
Okay thanks for the clarification. Please see this demo JotForm which has two text boxes and two text areas. You'll notice that the second text box is wider than the first and that the first text area is both wider and taller than the second. The width of the second text box was increased by first clicking the field and then clicking the Size button and entering the desired number:
The dimensions of the first text area were increased via the Columns and Rows buttons:
In addition to the controls mentioned, it's possible to change the dimensions of box types of boxes via CSS. For instance, the height of the first text box can be increased by adding the following CSS:
#input_1 {
height: 30px;
If you were to clone the demo and add that rule, you'll see that the first text box become taller.
Please see this guide and this one.
If you need further help, please inform us.
Thank you. I will try it. I appreciate your help.

HP – Research and Development
Since 2012, I 've been working at Instituto Atlantico (a partner of HP Brazil and USA) as a UX Researcher and Front-End Developer for a wide array of projects such as HP Magcloud, HP ePrint, HP Clasp and HP Live Docs.
I am involved in many aspects of researching and development, bringing a UX approach to HP software and working collaboratively with teams in Fortaleza, Porto Alegre and Palo Alto. Although I can't showcase the results here (I work under a confidential contract and the mentioned projects above were already released, but there are many others we're engaged right now that are still at the development phase), I can talk a little about the UX techniques applied along this time span, which relied on immersion, ideation and test phases learnt from the Design Thinking process.
Working on user-centered goals (which means conducting surveys, making user researching reports, elaborating personas and user journeys, identifying problems, prototyping, testing, conducting user testing sessions etc. ) was an essential approach to promote insights on those projects and improve them for the better. HP is one the big innovation players worldwide, and it's a company which really cares about their user experience. Atlantico is a strong and trustful partner on the road to the successful achievements that really matter.

Conversations is a relatively new feature added into Super 5mash Bros. 5 albeit first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the form of Snake's Codecs which could be performed by inputting a taunt for just one frame on Shadow Moses Island. This feature appeared yet in a different term called "Palutena's Guidance" in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. This feature was performed by Pit on Palutena's Temple much like how Snake's Codecs were performed. In Super Smash Bros. 5, these features are being labeled as "conversations". While Snake has been confirmed not to appear in Super Smash Bros. 5 thus making his codecs ineligible, Palutena's Guidance is confirmed to return as a number of new conversations. Much like before, only the console version has conversations.

List of Conversations by Characters
Palutena's Guidance
Pit: Wait! Who am I fighting here? She doesn't really look like she fits here with the rest of the Super Smash Bros. staff. Is she one of Medusa's minions?
Virdi: Medusa's Minions?! You fool! This is Bayonetta, an Umbra Witch! Medusa has nothing on this girl!
Medusa: Ahem...excuse me? Would you mind repeating that, Medusa?
Palutena: Now, now you too. Let's cut the in-fighting. Pit is facing an incredibly powerful enemy here.
Pit: Yeah, while you guys were having your little squabble, this witch lady has been throwing magic, summoning demons, and using her heels to pummel me into the ground! Any help would be appreciated!
Medusa: She appears to be using some sort of magic. Try using those silly Gaurdian Orbitars to reflect them back.
Virdi: Those heels look like they pack a wallop but they are all style and no applicability. Try dodging them as she charges at you.
Pit: Any advice from you Lady Palutena?
Palutena: Try your best to not get hurt.
Pit: Well, thank you for the boost of confidence, Lady Palutena....
Palutena: Anytime, Pit!

Doc Louis' Advice
"This gal has some spice to her attacks! Don't let her deceive you, Mac. She packs some serious, butt-kicking firepower in those boots of hers! Plus, she uses some sort of weird magical hocus-pocus. I don't know why they allow that in the ring nowadays. Back when I was in my prime, it was gentlemen boxing gentlemen! And dinosaurs!"
Metroid Logbook
Morphology: Bayonetta: The Umbra Witch. This subject is capable of delivering very powerful magical attacks and can even summon dimensional beings from somewhere in this galaxy. Caution: The subject is also very quick and can chain attacks with deadly precision.
Blather's Blathering
"Why, that's Bayonetta! I don't know she does it but she has some contract with the great beyond! If only an owl like myself could have that - I would create a world devoid of bugs, eh wot! Hoo! I would pretty good in black I do say so myself!"
Gates of Hell
Bayonetta: Rodin.....who I am exactly fighting pray tell? I am looking at myself.
Rodin: It may be the work of demons or angels...or maybe even a more mysterious and dangerous force out there...
Bayonetta: I assume she or it has the same moves as I do.
Rodin: I would say that's a fair assumption. Watch out your your...I mean her stilettos and guns. I crafted those...something replicated those guns I created and they pack serious firepower. I hate it when people copy my work like that,
Bayonetta: How about we put a cap on the entire "copyright war" talk, love. I have my hands full out here dealing with me.
Rodin: I really need to patent my work...but going to Hell to do it can be a huge pain...
Palutena's Guidance
Pit: When I think of Bowser, I always picture him deep in his castle, steeling himself for a fight.
Viridi: Or, you know, playing golf or racing a go-kart.
Pit: He's looking pretty aggro today. Must be because he's in a fighting game.
Viridi: When Mario first fought Bowser, I hear he had to use an axe to chop down a rope bridge and drop the big guy.
Palutena: It all sounds like something from an 8-bit action movie!
Pit: I won't lie. I'm a little scared.
Palutena: Don't be. Bowser may be powerful, but he also leaves big openings. Fight smart and look for chances to counterattack.
PokeDex Entry
"Bowser, the Koopa King. He is a Fire and Dark-type fighter. Bowser is capable of utilizing his impressive strength to squad enemies and use breathe fire when angry. He dislikes to lose and will become angry when he does."
Doc Louis' Advice
"Mac, baby! You may be fighting a big 'ol reptile that breathes fire but he can be knocked out by a good one-two! Show him that the fists are mightier than the claws...and the fire breath...and the spikes...and headbutts! Just watch out for anyone of those attacks and use his lack of speed to your advantage! A Slip Counter also should lay him flat!"
Metroid Logbook
"Morphology: Bowser: The Koopa King. It is unknown how he creates the flames but he can expel them from his mouth. Due to his impressive strength, he can carry and throw opponents even larger than himself. However, he suffers from a lack of speed. Proceed with caution - especially if you are a damsel in distress."
Blather's Blathering
"WOOT! WOOT! Is that...the dreaded Koopa King Bowser? Those claws! Those spikes! That fire! He truly lives up to his moniker, eh wot? I daresay that flames could easily turn me into roasted owl! I better take care and quietly leave before he notices and decides to have me for dinner with his Koopalings. I shudder at the thought!"
Gates of Hell
Bayonetta: Love, do you have any dirt on this Bowser? He's not leaving this girl any chances to attack.
Rodin: Bowser may be bad but he's nothing against what the depths of Heaven and Hell have in store. You got this fight.
Bayonetta: I would like to think so but he seemed to up his game this time around.
Rodin: You aren't complaining are you Bayonetta? Doesn't seem like you.
Bayonetta: Don't give me sass, Rodin. So what's the deal with him?
Rodin: Bowser can spew out fire...hot hire. He also has those nasty spikes and claws so watch out for that. And his Final Smash, Giga Bowser, rivals many of the top level Angels that you fought previously. Hey, by the way, do you think you could get me one of his horns and fire. I could craft a mighty fine weapon with it....in exchange for this information.
Bayonetta: Get it yourself, Rodin. I have a turtle to bake.
Bowser Jr.
Palutena's Guidance
Pit: Is that Bowser Jr.?
Viridi: Yes. He's the heir to the Koopa throne.
Palutena: I wonder if his father bought him that Junior Clown Car. It's decked out with all sorts of bells and whistles.
Pit: Hey, I just thought of an even better name for it. How about...the Shellicopter?!
Viridi: ...Needless to say, the Junior Clown Car is one tricky vehicle. Palutena: It's immune to many attacks, so strike when Bowser Jr. is exposed.
Viridi: So what you're saying is to hit him from above, right?
Palutena: That's one of the Koopalings, <name of Koopaling>. That's one of Bowser's Minions, <name of Koopaling>. PAL
Pit: Hmm. The resemblance to Bowser Jr. is strong.
Palutena: That Koopa Clown Car is the mass-produced type.
Pit: I guess as heir to the throne, Bowser Jr. would get preferential treatment.
Viridi: The relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings is a real mystery.
Pit: I feel kinda bad for them.
Palutena: That's sweet of you but not very conducive to taking them down, Pit.
PokeDex Entry
"Bowser Jr, the Koopa Prince. He is a Dark-type fighter. Koopa Jr. has access to many of the enemies found within Koopa's army such as Mechakoopas and Lava Bubbles. Witht he Junior Clown Car, Bowser Jr. can launch devastating attacks such as his Cannonball."
"<name of Koopaling>, the Koopa Captain. This Koopaling is a Dark-type fighter. <name of Koopaling> pilots the mass-produced type Junior Clown Car and can use it to launch devastating attacks. While it may look innocnent, it is completely the opposite."
Doc Louis' Advice
"Hey, Mac! The little munchkin you got fighting you is the Koopa Prince himself, Bowser Jr. He rides in that there flying machine and launches sneaky attacks at his opponent. I heard it comes equipped with a punching glove. Mac Baby, show this little kid who the true boxing master is!"
"Hey, Mac! The little munchkin you got fighting you is one of the Koopalings, <name of Koopaling>. They ride in that there flying machine and launches sneaky attacks at any opponent. I heard it comes equipped with a punching glove. Mac Baby, show this little kid who the true boxing master is!"
Metroid Logbook
"Morphology: Bowser Jr., the Prince of the Koopas. He is next in line to the Bowser throne but there isn't any indication with power will change hands. DNA scans indicate he is related to Bowser by blood. Bowser Jr. rides within the Junior Clown Car and uses that for his attacks but scans indicate he also with use a hammer. Counter it will Missiles."
"Morphology: <name of Koopaling>, the Koopaling Captain. In what relation they are to Bowser is currently unknown but scanning historical annals suggests they were referred to as his "children". <name of Koopaling> rides within the Junior Clown Car and uses that for attacks but scans indicate that they will also use a hammer. Counter it with Missiles."
Blather's Blathering
"Eh, wot! That little boy flying around is none other than Bowser Jr., our turtle tyrants son. I dear say that is bad parenting. If I had a little owlet, I wouldn't be sending to fight who knows what. Little Blathers Jr. will be studying and finding fossils; not attacking electric rats and gigantic apes! Bad parenting, simply sad."
"Eh wot! This is <name of Koopaling>, one of the captains of the tyrant Bowser. They help command his vast armies while Bowser seemingly takes it easy. That is pretty smart but I wonder if the Koopalings can actually be trusted! Hoot hoot woot! They seem to always lose to the efforts of Mario so maybe there should be a change in ranks! How exciting!
Gates of Hell
Bayonetta: First it's green dinosaurs and intergalactic foxes and now it's a baby turtle in a flying turtle! Rodin, what exactly am I facing?
Rodin: Oh that guy. I think that is the Prince of Koopas, Bowser Jr. Obviously Bowser's son.
Bayonetta: Love, I gathered that from just the Prince of Koopas. Got any tips on how to gain the upper hand.
Rodin: Hmmm...I don't deal well with children so maybe a firm spanking...or a time out....or locking him in his room.
Bayonetta: Really, Rodin? No is the not the time for jokes.
Rodin: I wasn't joking. Like I said, I don't deal well with kids.
Palutena's Guidance
Pit: Whoa... It's Captain Falcon!
Viridi: Oh, he's a captain! What ship does he command?
Pit: I think he's more like a pilot or something.
Viridi: All these fighters have tons of skill and experience, but you can still hold your own. If we brought vehicles into the picture, though, that would be a totally different story.
Pit: Good thing that's not the case. I'd be no match for an F-Zero machine or an Arwing.
Viridi: Plus, those G-Diffuser systems are terrible for the environment.
Pit: Uh, you sure know a lot about space machinery. For being the goddess of nature and all.
Palutena: Anyway, if you're near Captain Falcon, watch out for his jump-and-Falcon Punch combo.
PokeDex Entry
"Captain Falcon, the Intergalactic Racer. He is a dual Fire and Fighting-type fighter. He possesses not only extreme speed but punches that pack a wallop! His Falcon Punch is heard round the world!"
Doc Louis' Advice
"Hey Big Mac! That guy you are facing over there is none other than Captain Falcon! He's no bird tho so watch your back! His Falcon Punch and Falcon Kick not allow brings the hurt but will light you on fire! Literally! I don't know what kind of training he goes through but it must be a lot to use fire without a Fire Flower!"
Metroid Logbook
Morphology: Captain Falcon: The Intergalactic Racer. Scanning indicates this life form can move at very fast speeds and utilize the element of fire to deliver devastating damage. He is capable of piloting a F-Zero racer at very extreme speeds therefore he has quick reflexes."
Blathers Blathering
"I do say, hoot! That's that famed space bounty hunter...Captain....Captain...I say hoot! I confused so many captains! Captain Toad is the one with the mushroom as a head and Captain Olimar is the one with a space suit...and uses Pikmin. OH!! This is Captain Falcon! I must say birds of a feather flock together!"

Everton have landed their first major summer signing by clinching a deal for Idrissa Gueye – and their fans reacted with delight on Twitter.
The Merseyside club completed the capture of the midfielder on Tuesday after triggering a £7.1million release clause in his Aston Villa contract.
Everton fans have hailed the capture of Gueye on Twitter and several have even compared him to Premier League winner N'Golo Kante.
Much of the praise for clinching the deal has been aimed at new director of football Steve Walsh, who famously recommended Leicester sign Kante from the French second division before his breathtaking debut Premier League season.
Here are some of the messages of the Everton fans on Twitter:
Gueye to #EFC signing has Steve Walsh written all over it. Think he'll prove to be an astute recruit. Welcome, Idrissa!
— Tom Power (@thomp1987) August 2, 2016
Holy crap we got a deal over the line . Idrissa gueye for 7.1 million is a bargain . He's the next nkante him .
— chris (@cjlatimer16) August 2, 2016
That Steve Walsh could have paid for himself with his first signing. If this Gueye is as close to Kante as they say. #engine #workhorse
— Coombesie (@CaptCoombes) August 2, 2016
Everton finally made an outfield signing, expecting big things from Idrissa Gueye
— Collin Horl (@collinh_24) August 2, 2016
Idrissa Gueye is a brilliant signing for Everton. Statistically second only to Kante as a defensive midfielder last season.
— Gav (@Gav1879) August 2, 2016
A centre mid partnership of Mo Besic and Idrissa Gueye next season sounds boss.

Don't know a thing about Idrissa Gueye so it's hard to have any feeling towards the signing but you have to trust Steve Walsh.
— Shoey M (@ShoeyEFC1234) August 2, 2016
Idrissa Gueye officially signs for #EFC. Smart move from Koeman and Walsh, hopefully he'll have an important part to play this season.
— Elliott Cuff (@CuffWrites) August 2, 2016
Gueye has become the first major signing of new manager Ronald Koeman after he signed goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg on a free transfer from Fulham.
Everton triggered the player's release clauses last week after identifying him as a solution to their central midfield problems.
Only former Leicester midfielder Kante completed more interceptions than Gueye last season and Koeman targeted him as he builds his squad for the forthcoming Premier League season.
In other Everton transfer news, their star player has told team-mates that he wants to quit after a bid close to £70million was submitted.

Improvisational Skills for Beginner MusiciansAs a young clarinet student I learnt notes through reading music, and was not expected to question why the notes were what they were.

text: The Empire of All Russia still exists in the Place in the Sun timeline, but has collapsed in power since Red October. The Soviets rose up in Saint Petersburg, in a later 1920s revolution, but the Tzar managed to deploy the Russian Army against the rioters, and a weak order was re-established. Russia has regressed into a weak police state, the young Tsar Alexei is as superstitious as his mother, and lives in constant fear of the surviving Bolsheviks. As the new 'Sick Man of Europe' Russia is rapidly losing control of its territories, indeed much of the Russian Far East is no longer under de facto control. European Russia has held together, in chief out of fear of the Germans, but is collapsing fast.

Michelle Wie Makes Correct Decision
As I wrote over at the FanHouse, Michelle Wie will enter LPGA Q-School in one of her better decisions ever.
Wie has struggled with life on the sponsor's exemption tour, with expectations none of us will ever know and without a solid knowledge of how to close tournaments. The last two years golf finally caught up with her and she hasn't handled it well. Now a college student at Stanford, Wie is trying to balance a college girl's life with an athletic icon's responsibilities.
Hopefully she can qualify so we can all drop the jabs at her. She seems like a decent kid that has landed a bad rap mainly because she has horrible representation. A full year on the LPGA might be just what the 'ol doc ordered.

In Defense of Common Sense: Lessons from the Freeman Case Dismissal
September 9, 2013
Nearly a month has passed since U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus slammed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), dismissing the agency's discrimination case against Freeman Cos. (Md., No: 8:09-cv-02573, 8/9/13). The EEOC sued Freeman in Maryland District Court for discriminating against workers with a criminal or credit history in 2009, and those of us who have followed the case have eagerly awaited the final decision. We also wrote about the decision when it was first released–if you missed that article you can find it here. Now that the situation has had time to sink in, I wanted to share some thoughts on the implications for employers.
By way of background, Freeman, an international provider of trade show and exhibit services, employs over 4,100 full time employees and 25,000 part time workers in the US and the UK. In the case, the EEOC claimed that Freeman's use of credit and criminal background checks had a "disparate impact" on protected classes—namely male minority job applicants—who were more likely to be denied job opportunities due to a disproportionate impact on black males.
The disparate impact theory used by the EEOC in Freeman has become the go-to legal argument used by the EEOC to challenge the use of background checks (both criminal and credit) in hiring. Unlike disparate treatment cases, where an individual who is a member of a protected class under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 claims discriminatory treatment, disparate impact has a much broader scope. Disparate impact cases focus on policies that are neutral on their face, claiming that they have an unintended discriminatory impact on big pools of applicants. This theory has its roots in the EEOC's "E-RACE" (Eradicating Racism and Colorism from Employment) Initiative and the EEOC's strategic plan to focus on big-scale discriminatory patterns and practices that have a high likelihood of impacting large groups. In other words, the bigger the employer, the more likely you will be targeted for an EEOC investigation and class action lawsuit for a discriminatory pattern or practice under disparate impact theory.
Much has been said about Judge Titus's opinion in Freeman, particularly his critique of the EEOC's expert, whose report he described as containing a "plethora of errors and analytical fallacies." The EEOC's case was described by the judge as a theory in search of facts to support it, and he concluded that there were no facts to support the theory of disparate impact based on any specific or identified policies of the defendant.
The judge granted Freeman's motion for summary judgment, saying that, as a matter of common sense, far more evidence would be required to support a claim of disparate impact based on the use of criminal or credit background checks.
Lessons from Freeman
Here are a few take-aways for employers from the Freeman case:
- No Cumulation: Lead counsel for Freeman, Donald Livingston with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, is a former EEOC General Counsel. He recently spoke to Corporate Counsel about the implications and significant fallout from Freeman. Livingston pointed out that one of the key holdings was the court's rejection of a "cumulative" theory of impact on employees. The court held that, in order to make a showing of a disparate impact, the plaintiff could not rely on an argument that the cumulative effect of the employer's selection practices violated Title VII and adversely affected a protected group. The no-cumulation rule of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a key factor in Freeman.
- EEOC Needs to Be Specific: The Maryland District Court in Freeman held that the EEOC failed to point out specific practices that lead to the alleged discrimination. The EEOC was required to pinpoint the specific element in a criminal background check or credit check that caused the disparate impact. The court said the EEOC failed to link the discrimination to a particular practice or part of the policy, and granted summary judgment for the employer. If employers can defend their policies by linking the hiring policy to specific job duties, disparate impact is more difficult to prove.
- Seven Year Limit/No Arrests was "Reasonable": The Court noted thatFreeman limited its background policy to convictions in the past seven years and didn't consider arrests that didn't result in conviction.
- One Size Does Not Fit All: Freeman's background check process varied depending on the job. The court noted that Freeman used different types of checks depending on the position being sought, and subjective and objective criteria and other factors in making the hiring decision.
- Common Sense: Titus's opinion struck a chord for many who feel that the use of criminal background checks has been under attack. His statement that "careful and appropriate use of criminal history information is an important, and in many cases essential, part of the employment process of employers throughout the United States." This tone supported the argument that you don't always need an expert to prove that a background check makes sense for certain jobs.
Time will tell as to whether other courts follow the Maryland District Court's lead. In June, the EEOC filed suit against retailer Dollar General Corp. and a U.S. unit of German auto maker BMW AG, alleging that those companies discriminated against black applicants by checking criminal histories. Those cases are fundamentally similar to the Freeman case, and they remain pending. Shortly before the district court's decision in Freeman came down, nine state attorneys general wrote a letter to the EEOC protesting its position on criminal-background checks. The letter called the EEOC's suits against Dollar General and BMW "gross federal overreaching" and questioned the need for an individualized assessment. Meanwhile, the issues are far from settled. Stay tuned for more updates.

New year update 😀
I still get a lot from reading everyone's posts on here - great forum! Thought I'd better give you an update 😀
Found a real life Laura to run with at at the running club, we are similar pace and it's nice to have someone to huff and puff with you!
Still going to parkrun every week, and also volunteered a few times now. Made one of my resolutions this year to earn a milestone t- shirt - should be achievable by the end of the year as I started parkrun in September.
Been entering some virtual races too, to keep me motivated, and now looking at some 'real life' ones so I have something to aim for (more for taking part than being speedy though!) Beginning to increase my distance a bit from 5k, started running with the main group at running club last week and covered about 6k, so hopefully I can build up.
Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2016 🏃🏃🏃

We saw Santa at the mall this weekend.
NOT my preferred location but I think in some ways the kids like it better. I remember being enthralled by seeing Santa at the mall. I can't explain it, but it's a part of childhood I guess.
My kids were stoked and Abby was ECSTATIC. She beamed as she walked up to him and could not stop smiling as she sat on his lap. And it was a GOOFY smile!
Although Jake told me that when Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas she said "I don't want to tell you, just bring me stuff."
I guess she was in "quiet awe" of Santa.

What's this? Rumblings of a video game based on the Robert Kirkman comic book and AMC television series The Walking Dead? It's all speculation only at this point, but considering our love of both zombies and gaming (and especially combining the two), we couldn't pass up the opportunity to mention the story and throw out a "hell, yeah!" in case it's true.
Gaming site 1UP.com reports receiving an invitation to a Telltale Games event in San Francisco taking place on Thursday, February 17th, during which [the company] will be announcing five new multi-platform projects. Among them, says the invitation, is "one based on a just-launched property from the TV and comic book world whose popularity is changing life as some know it."
Sure sounds like The Walking Dead is a strong possibility for fitting that description! Telltale's other properties include Sam & Max, Back to the Future, Tales of Monkey Island, and Jurassic Park among many others. The Walking Dead — which often focuses on human interactions over zombie killing — fits Telltale's style of games rather well.
Keep it here for more as it comes next month!

It sounds trivial, but paying attention to the small things is very important when we are traveling. An example is the problem of ballpoint pen; this tiny object should always be stored in our pocket, as it is very important to some emergencies, such as filling sheets of embarkation before sitting in the plane. Of course before you are given embarkation card, you need to have a passport first, a very absolute requirement to be met. Yes, you have to make your passport first. You can take advantage of Google to find out how to make a passport under the rules that apply in your country. The next step is to find budget airline several months before the departure date. Singapore government is promoting the tourism, adding Singapore airline's cheap ticket quotas that can be bought online.
You do not need to feel the confusion in finding cheap tourist sites and transport in Singapore. You just type the name of the attractions you want, and then you will be taken to related pages. Everything can be obtained by Internet. Singapore has a very adequate and pedestrian-friendly transport system. MRT just seems to me enough to support my mobility in exploring Singapore. MRT is a commonly used means of transportation of Singapore residents. Besides its price, the MRT is quite affordable, safety and cozy. Coverage area is also spacious, reaching nearly all areas of interest in Singapore. In fact, you can ride the MRT from Changi International Airport. You simply buy EzLink Card (prepaid card that can be refilled) or one-way ticket when you are going to ride the MRT.
Do not forget to look for cheap hotels or lodging in Singapore. If possible, do not do the searching in conjunction with the official holiday period or year-end holiday, because you will find prices that have soared. For your information, there are so many cheap hotels in the area of Chinatown, leased with a starting price of $ 20. You need to exchange your currency to the currency of Singapore. This action needs to be done so that you would not experience difficulties in various transactions during your stay in Singapore.
Tourist attractions in the end are the destination by any traveler. I would recommend some destinations that are not only entertaining, but also capable of providing education, especially for children.
Singapore Botanical Garden
Singapore Botanical Garden is a kind of giant garden. Here there is a wide variety of plants from all over the world, especially from Asia. This place is very spacious. In this place your children can learn about a variety of plants that exist there. Your children can also learn some of the benefits of certain plants for humans.
You can also visit the National Orchid Garden located inside the botanical garden. Your kids can learn to recognize different kinds of orchids from around the world. This place is highly recommended for anyone who travels with children.
In Singapore, there are many museums, including the National Museum, the Singapore Art Museum and the Asian Civilizations Museum. Singapore is very concerned about their museums. All museums there are neat and clean. In these museums, your children can learn many things ranging from history, art, to culture.
Areas that need to be avoided when you are traveling with family
You should avoid "the red area" like the area of Geylang district at night. This area is not comfortable to visit with the family at night. On the roadside, when nightfall, nearly all the food stall will be filled with people who sit down while eating and drinking alcoholic beverages. Of course that view is not suitable to be viewed by your children.
Singapore is a very pleasant tourist destination. By taking into account some tips above, I hope you can enjoy your journey optimally.

1. Read the Care Label
It takes a few seconds, but reading the care labels may save a lot of heartache when your clothes come out of the wash. Check for instructions that may say to wash only in cold, or with like colors. Don't forget to check for drying instructions as well. The label may indicate that the clothing needs to be dried on low, or drip dried.
2. Wash Dark Colors Together
Sorting clothes is a great opportunity to check the care label, and place your clothing in the correct pile. Anyone who has ever washed one red sock with an entire load of whites, knows the pain that can happen when colors fade away. To prevent dark colors from fading, keep like colors together.
3. Turn Clothes Inside Out
Some of the wear and tear that happens on your clothing can be prevented by turning your clothing inside out before washing and drying. Washing and drying clothing is rough on the outside of your clothing. Turning garments inside out will reduce pilling which dulls the look of the fabric. Don't forget to turn clothing inside out when you hang clothes outside to dry. While the sun is an excellent and efficient drying tool, it will zap the color right out of your clothing.
4. Don't Stuff the Washer
Stuffing the washer is tempting. It will help us save time, right? Well, actually stuffing the washer can cost us quite a bit. It makes the machine work harder and it is tougher on our clothes. Clothing can't come clean or have soap evenly deposited when it is packed into a washing machine. Similarly clothing takes a lot longer to dry when a dryer is stuffed with wet cloths. Clothes need to move freely.
5. Wash in Cold
Colors in cold. This was the unofficial motto of my home growing up. If there is one thing I learned about laundry from my mother, it is that colors get washed in cold. If you want to prevent fading from your colored clothing, wash them in cold water. Detergents have come a long way in the last several years, and most do as well in cold water as the do in hot or warm.
6. Don't Over Dry
It's easy to let our clothing over. While this is bad for all of our laundry, it is particularly bad for our bright and dark colors. Over drying will cause your colors to fade. Set a timer and don't forget about your clothes. Clothes should be slightly damp when they are pulled from the dryer.
7. Add Vinegar
Vinegar doesn't have the most pleasant smell, but adding a cup to your washing machine will not only give you a natural fabric softener, but also help prevent colors from fading. The good news? The vinegar smell goes away in the wash.
8. Use the Gentle Cycle or a Gentle Detergent
If you still want to make sure your colors last as long as possible, you can wash on your machine's gentle cycle or hand wash your special clothing. There are several detergents on the market that are formulated to prevent fading and color loss.

top mauser looks like a yugo m 48 ,the mauser below it looks like a k98. if you can only get one then get the middle one if its a k 98. As far as deciding which one to purchase check the bore on both of them . I would choose the rifle with the best bore and least amount of wear and tear. If they will give you a good deal buy them both. My k 98 is my favorite rifle.
+1. The top looks like a pretty typical M-48 Yugo. The middle looks like a German K98k of WWII vintage. Not much difference between the two. The M-48 will have almost all milled parts. The K98k will have some steel stampings. The Yugos are generally better finished as they were post war manufactured so they took fewer short cuts.
The Yugos also used the barrel support ring on the bayonet where the Germans did not.
I just purchased a m 48 and m24/47 at big 5 for 199.00 each at big 5 two months ago. the m 24/47 had matching serial numbers and the entire rifle looked brand new. The m48 had a good bore but the stock had some dings and scratches on it. I refinished the stock on the m 48 and it turned out nice.
Matching numbers, bore condition, check the bolt face also. Sometimes the pin hole will be enlarged if the chamber is out of spec and gases have eroded it.

The "Disallow: /search" entry ensures labels on blog posts are not indexed ... so that is possibly what is being reported on?

Thanks Firephish,
I submitted my atom.xml as my site map i.e.http://www.owlbox.blogspot.com/atom.xml. When I looked this morning this was the summary I got:
Sitemap type: Web
Format: RSS Feed
Submitted: 8 hours ago
Last downloaded by Google: 6 hours ago
Status: Errors
Total URLs in Sitemap: 1
Indexed URLs in Sitemap: 0
Does this mean that my sitemap is not being indexed because of the errors? The summary page shows 10 errors, 9 of these errors are "URL not allowed
This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location" and the remaining error is "Invalid XML: too many tags
Too many tags describing this tag. Parent tag: channel link".
It says I should fix the problem/s and resubmit, but honestly I don't know where to start with this problem.

Since Blogger is a Google product, it would seem that the contents of robots.txt would have been set by Google. So it ought to be set correctly. I'm not sure about the tag errors.

Hi John, Firephish is correct that the errors are related to the labels and it shouldn't cause any concern.
More thanks Firephish. I tried the url you provided but for some reason it threw an error. I then tried www.owlbox.blogspot/feeds/posts/default?redirect=false and that worked. Based on my research the redirect false is necessary if you have a Feedburner account linked. I also submitted my Atom link with the same code added i.e. www.owlbox.blogspot/atom.xml?redirect=false and that was successful. No errors are shown on the two sitemaps although I'm a little unclear why only 26 urls have been picked up on each Sitemap, when I have a LOT of posts on my blog. I'm assuming that it is just because it wasn't a full Google scan…..
As you can tell I'm digging into Search engine optimization at the moment and I just figured out how to add Alt tags to my images – something that I'll be using henceforth. Thanks for popping in and offering knowledgeable advice on this topic. Now I just need to figure out whether it is possible to do a 301 redirect from owlbox.blogspot.com to http://www.owlbox.blogspot.com using Blogger.

Data Science tricks: Simple anomaly detection for metrics with a weekly pattern
A recurring problem that engineers have to deal with is creating an alarm system to give them early warnings when things start to go wrong. For example, they may need to monitor CPU or memory usage for a set of virtual machines or user-behaviour signals. Things may go wrong for a variety of reasons like the introduction of bugs in new code releases or random hardware failures. Simple heuristics can cover the most common cases. However, there are times where simple heuristics may be inadequate, while at the same time the metric may look "obviously" problematic in the eyes of an experienced engineer. This confidence is related to the fact that most aggregated metrics are quite well-behaved and follow predictable patterns.
Today I discuss a scenario where there's a well behaved metric with roughly predictable values, at least for the eyes of a human. Note that predictability is not the same as stability (a flat line). The metric is not necessarily constant — with some minor fluctuations — around some baseline value. Typically we may find:
- a daily cycle: where the metric increases to high values during working hours and it is significantly decreased during non-working hours
- a weekly cycle: where the metric is significantly increased during working days compared to weekends.
- a rather stable growth pattern: for example we may constantly add new users that create a stable upward — combined with the daily and weekly cycles.
We will ignore some rare but well expected events like public holidays.
Here's an example of a metric that presents this kind behaviour. The blue line is the metric as measured every hour, and the shadow area represents what is normal and expected behaviour. In this article I describe how to create that "shadow" area. Observe that weekends have very low activity and indeed the shadow is quite narrow at that time. At the end of the week something goes wrong and it is the time the alarm should go off.
A final requirement we have is that the system should be quite robust and automatically adapt to new baselines. For example, if a new release improves the CPU usage we don't want to have to re-tune the alarm system. Ideally it should warn us that CPU usage was reduced, which is expected, and then it should adapt to the new reality.
The solution
What kind of solution can we deploy? Rule based heuristics do not scale and do not adapt easily, especially if we have thousands of alarms to setup. Some statistical approach is needed that is generic enough to handle many different metric behaviours.
Exponential Moving Average
Our solution is a based on three components. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the Exponential Moving Standard Deviation (EDS), and the deployment of a set of simple models instead of a single model that tries to capture all variations.
First we need to track what's the expected normal value for our metric. We can estimate that using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is defined as:
EMA <- w * EMA + (1 - w) * x
where x is the current real value measurement, and w is a small value like 0.05 that controls the influence of the new measurement to the EMA compared to the learned expectation. EMA provides the expectation of the metric at any given time and it updates anytime we have a new measurement. It has the nice property that it can automatically adapt to a new reality and needs little supervision.
Exponential Moving Standard Deviation
EMA is a good start. However, it doesn't quantify the range around the expectation that should be considered normal. To quantify that range we need to track not only the average value but also the standard deviation (SD). We will track SD using a similar approach as with the mean value, namely the Exponential Moving Standard Deviation (EMS):
EMS <- sqrt( w * EMS^2 + (1 - w) * (x - EMA)^2 )
Similarly to EMA, the EMS will automatically adapt to any new reality without needing re-training. Same as EMA, parameter w controls how fast EMS adapts to radical changes.
The two numbers, EMA and EMS define a simple model that can be used to build the alarm logic. This is as simple as:
Alarm = abs(x - EMA) > n * EMS
where n controls the sensitivity of the alarm to the value measurement x. If the absolute difference of EMA from x is higher than n number of standard deviations we raise the alarm. A low value for n, like 1 or 2, may lead to high number of false positives, that is alarm goes off when it shouldn't. A high value of n may lead to high number of false negatives, that is alarm doesn't go off when it should.
Multiple models
Now it is time for the real trick! So far we have all the basic components is place but we still haven't solved the seasonality requirements. The trick we are going to use is very simple: instead of using one single model comprised of the EMA and EMS, we are going to use multiple models, one for each hour and day of the week.
For example, we will have a different EMA and EMS for tracking what is normal on Mondays at 9am and a different EMA and EMS for tracking what is normal on Mondays at 10am. Using the hourly resolution we will end up with 24x7 models, again with each model having its own EMA and EMS. If the metric is indeed well-behaved then the EMA and EMS of these sub-models should be quite stable over time! Depending on the problem and the desired time-resolution we may define more or less models. For example we may have a different model for every 5mins interval in the weekly cycle.
Tuning and implementation details
Few tips to have in mind before implementing this approach. When we make a new measurement we need first to check if the alarm should go off and then to update the EMA and EMS.
There are three parameters that need tuning. The easiest to tune is the time resolution of the alarm. We need to make sure that we can have a reliable measurement for the time window. Parameter w controls how back in history should the alarm look up to pick what is the expectation of normal behaviour. Parameter n should be manually picked and it controls the trade off between false positives and false negatives.
The total memory requirements for this solution is very low since only two real numbers are stored for each model: one for the EMA and one for the EMS. There's no need to keep the full history of measurements since any new measurement is factored in the estimations of EMA and EMS and then it can be safely discarded.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hollywood has always loved making movies but as television enjoys a resurgence that has dampened the allure of the local cinema, film executives at Disney (DIS), 21st Century Fox (FOXA), Viacom (VIA), Comcast's (CMCSA) NBCUniversal, and Time Warner (TWX) are focused on the single blockbuster.
The largest U.S. movie studios are making fewer films while favoring features based on already well-known characters and popular products as a means to guard against the big flop while boosting revenue at other parts of their entertainment conglomerates.
"Increasingly, the studios are making bigger bets," Doug Creutz, media industry analyst at Cowen & Co., said in a phone interview from San Francisco. "It's not worth it for them to make a small bet because even if it works, you're not going to make a lot of money, most of the time. There's a move toward the blockbusters, and as a result, we have a lot of those."
Thor: The Dark World met expectations for its opening weekend earlier this month, bringing in $86 million in box-office sales, according to Rentrak, RENT, the media measurement agency, and lifting Disney's global movie theater sales beyond its previous record of $3.791 billion set in 2010.
Thor's solid debut follows the write-off of roughly $190 million for Lone Ranger, the Johnny Depp-led misstep that might have rattled most companies. But Disney's film studio actually increased profits in the quarter, largely on the back of Monsters University, which generated $264 million at North American box offices this year and Iron Man 3, poised to be the top grossing film of 2013 with more than $1.2 billion in global box-office sales with $408 million coming from North America.
For Disney CEO Bob Iger the Lone Ranger episode recalls 2012 when the world's largest entertainment company took a $200 million writedown for the sci-fi blunder John Carter, only to regain profitability with Avengers and Rocket Ralph.
In the hunt for the blockbuster, there are winners and sometimes there are duds.

Two types of multilayer interference filter are required for temperature sounding the earth's atmosphere. In relation to the 668-cm−1ν2 band of CO2 these are narrowband (4 cm−1 wide for the Q branch, 10 cm−1 for the R branch) or isolation (~60 cm−1 wide for the complete center of the band). Difficulty in manufacturing the filters for nimbus-SCR and -PMR spaceflight has indicated a need for improvement in the monitoring and control of the deposition of layers, and the paper describes a realization of this. The consequent effect on filter performance (utilizing a particular combination of layer materials) is described.
