Rhian Brewster's sparkling form for Liverpool's U23s was rewarded on Friday as he was granted the opportunity to train with the first team.
The 17-year-old has made a name for himself in this campaign having earned only his first start for the U18s team this year before stepping up to the U23s side shortly after.
Brewster has given Reds reason to believe he could well be the 'special kid' at Liverpool that Jurgen Klopp referred to earlier on in the season.
His most recent appearance saw him star yet again as he registered two assists and a goal in Monday's 3-1 win over Leicester. Brewster's progress has seen him already demonstrate interchanging and versatility alongside his pace and finishing- all traits that promise to impress Klopp.
Excitement surrounding his potential is also fuelled by the initial recommendation of former U23s manager Michael Beale prior to Brewster signing from Chelsea in 2015. Beale was of course key in helping bring through the likes of Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who have both already played for the first team.
The opportunity to train with the likes of Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho is sure to have been a valuable lesson for the young man and an experience that will drive him to continue improving.
The young forward remains one to keep an eye on and someone who could save Liverpool millions of pounds in years to come.
Here he is in action during Friday's training session:

HARTFORD, Conn. — A 114-year-old Connecticut resident who was born to former slaves in North Carolina has become the world's oldest known woman after the death this week of a Canadian woman.
Emma Faust Tillman, born Nov. 22, 1892, became the oldest validated female "supercentenarian" in the world when 115-year-old Julie Winnifred Bertrand of Montreal, Canada, died in her sleep early Thursday.
Tillman, of East Hartford, is now the second-oldest known person in the world behind 115-year-old Emiliano Mercado del Toro of Puerto Rico, born August 21, 1891.
They are among many validated supercentenarians on a list maintained by the Gerontology Research Group in Los Angeles and other organizations.
Officials at East Hartford's Riverside Health and Rehabilitation Center, where Tillman has lived since she was 110, were surprised to learn Friday of her new honor. They planned to wait until her family notified her, not wanting to overwhelm her.
"At 114 years old, having too much activity can wear on you after a while," said Karen Chadderton, the center's administrator.
Tillman, who has been widowed for almost 70 years, takes no credit for her uncommon longevity and says she has no secrets for other aspiring supercentenarians.
"I think as she gets older, it gets a little less exciting only because reaching this age is something she feels she didn't really do herself — she says the good Lord did it," Chadderton said.
'Ask the man upstairs'
Tillman's great-nephew, former Hartford fire chief John B. Stewart, said last month that she never smoked, never drank, did not need glasses and agreed to wear a hearing aid only reluctantly.
He said when she's asked about the secret to her longevity, Tillman invariably points skyward and says, "Ask the man upstairs."
Tillman, one of 23 children, moved from North Carolina with her family to Glastonbury in 1895.
She graduated in 1909 as the only black student in her high school and later worked as a cook, maid, party caterer and caretaker for children of several wealthy families.
She married Arthur Tillman in 1914, and they moved to Hartford's south end and raised two daughters before his death in 1939. One of her daughters is deceased.
Before moving to Riverside, she lived alone in a Hartford apartment for years, family members have said. She also has been a member of the A.M.E. Zion Church in Hartford for more than 80 years.
Longevity runs in the family. One of Tillman's brothers lived to be 108, while one sister lived to 105 and two others lived to 102.
"You can tell she's tired now, but at 114, we're blessed and she's blessed," Stewart said Friday.

Jean-Christophe : Hello, how are you? Thank you for answering our questions for Néo Prog.
Chris : I'm doing well, merci… I hope you are also doing ok and thank you very much for taking the time to do an interview!
Jean-Christophe : After eight years of silence, you come back strong with a double album, "Pretending 2 Run". Why such a long absence?
Chris : After "Fly Paper" was released in 2008 we spent time promoting the album and playing shows around the Midwestern US. It ended up being a strange time for us. Tiles fans seemed to really like "Fly Paper," but overall the CD seemed to 'fly' mostly under the radar – even with Alex Lifeson of Rush making a special guest appearance! We (naturally) thought the album was pretty good and deserved a better fate; but it came and went pretty fast. So for a while we were unsure if there was really enough interest in the band to do another album. But, I'm always writing lyrics, bits of music and songs and finally started thinking about "what to do next" after a visit to Paris with my wife in late-2009. Hearing classical music performed in the historic cathedrals was inspirational and got me thinking about attempting something grand and diverse.
Going back in time a bit, the seeds for "P2R" were actually planted in 2001. We had written a piece called 'Destiny Undelivered' for the "Window Dressing" album. It was a four-part, 17-minute suite but was the last song we played for producer Terry Brown during pre-production rehearsals. We had already finalized 60-minutes of music, so Terry said we didn't need more and to save 'Destiny Undelivered' for next time. We resurrected it again during the writing sessions for "Fly Paper," but with fresh ears decided most of it needed revamping. It was around this time that 'Drops of Rain,' 'Uneasy Truce' and 'Fait Accompli' were sketched out, but it was clear the vibe didn't fit the direction of "Fly Paper". So again we couldn't get traction and back on the shelf 'Destiny Undelivered' went for yet another 'maybe next time.'
The 'Destiny Undelivered' concept and material – especially the first section, 'Pretending to Run' – finally grabbed my attention in earnest. Coupled with my renewed enthusiasm for new musical horizons, the song became the foundation for what I envisioned could be a conceptual extended work with recurring themes and reprises. Informed by some of my own experiences and observations-at-large, I had been writing lyrics which fell under the umbrella of coping with adversity and change. As the basic storyline took shape the band started working on musical ideas around 2010. We still weren't quite sure if the future held another album, but we felt the urge to see what might develop. Eventually our 'crisis of confidence' passed and we began building momentum and enthusiasm as the songs began to flow and the concept continued to come into focus.
We spent 2011 and 2012 writing and rehearsing, started recording in February of 2013 and finished in December 2015. In the middle of this lengthy process we recognized it was going to be awhile before we released a new studio album so we recorded a couple live albums "Off the Floor 01" and "Off the Floor 02" to bridge the gap and keep our name alive, at least a little bit.
Also, there were some life events that contributed to the time lapse. The U.S. experienced a recession beginning in 2009 which affected Paul's and Mark's employment and my parents both passed away in 2011 which, besides the emotional impact, required me to tend to a lot of business. Plus in general we simply decided we could not hurry the process – so we took our time ensuring "Pretending 2 Run" was the best possible album we could make. All of a sudden eight years had passed!
Jean-Christophe : There are special guests on this last album, Ian Anderson, Mike Portnoy, Colin Edwin, Adam Holzman, Mike Stern ... What do they bring to your music?
Chris : The songs were written without thoughts of any specific special guests. They came into the picture as we worked on building the song arrangements. Over the years we have done shows with and met many excellent and sometimes well-known musicians with whom we've become friends and acquaintances. One of our goals for "Pretending 2 Run" was to experiment with different instruments and expanded arrangements. We have collaborated with guests in the past which has always been rewarding and fun!
We did (almost by accident) end up with an impressive list of notable and familiar names: Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Mike Stern (Miles Davis, solo), Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson Band), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Winery Dogs), Max Portnoy (Next to None), Kim Mitchell (Max Webster, solo), and Joe Deninzon (Stratospheerius) – and locally our guest list includes many of our friends from the Detroit area: Kevin Chown (Tarja Turunen, Chad Smith), Keith Kaminski (Bob Seger), Mark Mikel (The Pillbugs, solo), Matthew Parmenter (Discipline, solo), Ryan Arini (Hell Rides North), Matt Cross and percussionist Sonya Mastick.
There were many different reasons for collaborating with various musicians based on what we wanted to accomplish with the arrangements. People like Ian Anderson, Mike Stern, Kim Mitchell and Keith Kaminski delivered fantastic solos, while Mike and Max Portnoy – along with Kevin Chown – contributed a different energy that we thought helped the variety and dynamics of the entire album. Adam Holzman brought his keyboard chops to the longest and maybe most progressive tune on the album; plus, he created a selection of textures and soundscapes that we used to assemble segues and atmospherics to link songs.
Colin Edwin worked his sound design magic on "Small Fire Burning" and "Friend or Foe" and Jeff's friend Matt Cross from Orange 9MM came up with the programming for "Pretending to Run" and "Midwinter". All these keyboard and "sonic architecture" sounds are things we don't otherwise have at our disposal. The same goes for bringing in the string quartet, Sonya Mastick on tablas and congas and working with the choir.
Collaborating with our friends Matthew Parmenter and Mark Mikel as guest vocalists and arrangers helped us add different musical approaches and variety to the songs and storyline.
Jean-Christophe : How would you define your music today after all these years: progressive hard rock, prog metal, etc...?
Chris : Musically we seem to exist in a grey area between progressive hard rock and melodic rock with some metal tendencies thrown in. We often get classified as progressive metal – but I personally don't think we're quite heavy enough. Several people have coined the phrase we're "too metal for prog and too prog for metal". We always strive for dynamics and variety on our albums to provide emotional ups and downs and changes in the energy level. This diversity creates an ebb and flow to the album. Sometimes this works against us with people who like to hear the same sound and style through an entire album – but fortunately most progressive rock fans appreciate diversity!
"Pretending 2 Run" continues our quest for "structured spontaneity" and experimentation, but with a new focus on more elaborate and dramatic arrangements and blending different styles. We didn't limit ourselves by staying close to the band's live instrumentation. There are some very heavy songs and complex long compositions offset by melodic rock songs, choirs, acoustic pieces, electronic interludes and elaborate vocal and string arrangements. Because it's a double concept album we needed variety and different textures and atmospheres to convey the story line and deliver a musical journey.
Jean-Christophe : In the titles and in the lyrics, there are many references to French (Voir Dire, Fait Accompli, Pretending to Run, Meditatio), why?
Chris : "Pretending 2 Run" is a song cycle about someone who is blindsided and disillusioned by betrayal – and follows their journey from isolation on a search for recovery. In the early stages of writing lyrics the French terms "Voir Dire" (to tell the truth) and "Fait Accompli" (something already decided before it becomes known) were important concepts in the story.
Throughout the album we interspersed quotes from the classic book 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; charmingly narrated by special guest Mlle. France Espitalier, a young lady from the south of France. 'The Little Prince' always has always had a profound effect on me no matter how many times I read it. As 'P2R' developed I recognized a parallel with the same search for understanding and wisdom that is the book's central theme. When my family hosted France (a French exchange student) I thought this might be an opportunity to integrate a few appropriate 'Little Prince' phrases to underscore several key lyrical concepts. Personally, I'm not a big fan of narration and I wasn't sure we would actually use it – even after recording her parts. But it added a sense of innocence and another dimension to the storyline.
The "French Connection" continued to develop further because every time I visit Paris I feel enriched (as with most European cities and towns) – so the album has a number of purposeful French influences. It begins and ends with a snare cadence I heard during the Paris Marathon parade. I also recorded random street sounds while walking along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, which we subtly embedded in several of the between-song interludes. Plus I spent a great deal of time in and around the Notre-Dame Cathedral which inspired the album's two choir pieces – and a certain amount of introspection for writing lyrics.
Jean-Christophe : On "Pretending 2 Run", you mix hard rock riffs, psychedelic, symphonic 70's prog, etc. Is it a homecoming, or a tribute to the precursors of the genre?
Chris : We certainly didn't set out to formulate a tribute or mimic a particular style. I think it's our mixture of influences that creates our sound. Although we are a rock band, we try to keep an open mind about experimenting and trying new approaches to composition and arranging. All of us have a wide range of musical interests and we're willing to try almost anything in hopes of finding something new and interesting. We all listen to jazz, classical and a variety of rock, pop and metal bands and this diversity finds its way into our music, at least to some extent.
Jean-Christophe : How was it to go back in the studio after "Fly Paper"? A reunion for the group, or do you often see each other when you're not writing or recording?
Chris : Well, it definitely wasn't a reunion because during most of the eight year gap we were hard at work! Plus we did the two live albums released in 2012 and 2014. Certainly there are a few months here and there when we're not doing anything as a band since I may be writing on my own, or Jeff and I will get together to write. So there's no escaping each other for very long 8-).
Jean-Christophe : You had to wait until the release of "Present of Mind" in 1999 to finally have the public and critics' recognition. Did it not discourage you at the beginning?
Chris : No not at all. Our initial goal as a band was pretty simple: write, record, and perform the music we liked. We didn't have grand aspirations actually; after all, we formed Tiles at the height of the grunge era! It was a boost of confidence when our first CD was licensed and released by Dream Circle/Polydor in Germany – which prompted us to recognize that Europe was a market for us. Early-on Japan was also very receptive. I had originally thought we'd record one CD and just have a bit of fun playing around the Detroit area – but things went well and we kept going! After five years of existence we had become known, sold a good amount of CDs and toured Europe with Dream Theater.
'Discouraging' was the time lapse before releasing "Window Dressing" and then "Fly Paper" and the somewhat lukewarm reception to these albums. But thankfully, our persistence and hard work have paid off and "Pretending 2 Run" is being very well received!
Jean-Christophe : I will not lie to you "Pretending 2 Run" is a big musical slap. The album is full of references and yet retains an identity that is unique to you. How did you arrive at this result?
Chris : Hopefully, you mean "slap" in a good way ☺! Maybe it translates into "impact" or "impression" (?). Anyway, it's true our primary influences are still intact; however, I think you can hear quite a few new things creeping in as we experiment with other styles and sounds. We don't wish to be a carbon copy of any other band and hope our influences come together in a somewhat identifiable sound – which is the coincidental blending of each musician's style and personality and their willingness to carve out an identity.
For example, some of my main influences are Jethro Tull, Elton John, Kansas, lots of jazz and classical music, Joe Walsh, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Al DiMeola, etc… Some newer bands I find inspirational are Radiohead, Haken, Leprous and Burnt Belief. Mark Evans is influenced by ELP, Buddy Rich & other jazz drummers, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Rush…; Jeff's influences come from Iron Maiden, Metallica, Yes, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Dream Theater…; and Paul's are Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Queensryche and Alice in Chains. Of course, we all have many other influences too, but these are probably the obvious ones. It's interesting how all of us have significant jazz influences – which I think comes through in our music.
Jean-Christophe : Pretending 2 Run is a concept album, but what does it talk about? (The French are bad in English and rarely read lyrics ...)
Chris : Well, at least there's a little bit of French on the album!
I like many of the impressionist artists from the 19th century. A couple of my favorite paintings are Vincent Van Gogh's "Landscape with Snow" and "Snowy Landscape with Arles in the Background". Although these paintings are somewhat cold and bleak they express a melancholy beauty. To me they represent the times when life is challenging or when things aren't going well, but also that transition and rejuvenation are around the corner.
I approached the "Pretending 2 Run" story similar to an impressionist painting. The listener generally knows what's going on but it's vague enough to leave room for imagination. Many songs simply convey the central character's emotions and thoughts.
As previously mentioned, the album is a song cycle about a man blindsided and disillusioned by betrayal and his journey through adversity as he escapes from the dark corners of seclusion on a faltering search for redemption. Unlike a linear narrative the story does not reveal how or why things happened, but instead we observe events in the wake of personal upheaval. Overall it's a rather dark concept, but reflections of light eventually appear as trials may eventually lead to triumph (I don't want to give everything away ☺).
The story begins in the post-traumatic aftermath of tragedy as the central character retreats into self-imposed isolation, numb and disconnected from the world. Time is frozen as his mind travels between the past and the slow motion present in search of explanations. His recovery is hindered by the fear, anger and confusion that now define his life. Standing at several crossroads, indecision becomes another obstacle as internal battles rage between conflicting 'fight-or-flight' emotions. It's up to the listener to decide how (or if) his journey ends.
Jean-Christophe : Now that you are going strong with a new and great double album, will you land in Europe to play live and revisit your past successes?
Chris : We're hoping "Pretending 2 Run" continues to be well-received and builds enough momentum for us to tour Europe. I think Tiles would be a great opening act for a band like Spock's Beard or Haken (both of whom we've opened for in the US) – but it's not likely we'd headline our own tour. Maybe our friends in Dream Theater will "take us along for the ride" again?
Jean-Christophe : Thank you for your answers, and see you very soon I hope.
Chris : Thank you for your thoughtful questions – I appreciate your interest and support of Tiles! We too hope to see our French fans soon and are keeping our fingers crossed we can make it happen.

When I first heard about Tiny Wings it sounded awesome. Having an iPhone myself I decided to download the game and I was not satisfied. So the game is only to get as far as possible? And when you are playing for 5 minutes and the sun goes under you just have to start over again? Really? Horrible. That was until I discovered the objectives. I was astonished. The game isn't about reaching the 87th (or whatever big numer you want to insert here) at all. The game isn't about the most coins you collect, your biggest high score. This game is about objectives. I want to break down this game a little bit and make you understand why this game is such a success!
Why Tiny Wings is such an amazing game
- It involves a sweet little bird. As a guy I have no idea why this is so important, but Angry Birds already learned us that having a little bird in a game can be really successful. Especially now when Angry Birds on Facebook will become a hit! Tiny Wings took this small part of Angry Birds and used it for their own - successful. It is a small bird which makes a sound every once in a while, lovely.
- It has a scoring system. This makes the fun to play to each other. Love to play against somebody 'only 160.000? Loser!'
- It has objectives. The game is over when the day is over. But you are reaching something. You are getting better nests every time you complete 3 objectives. Having some sort of 'save' point is always a relieve for better gamers, because they don't have to go through the stupid easy part over and over again. Besides the beauty of having a safe point the objectives get harder and cover different parts of the game as well. One time you reach a score of more than X, the next time you have to do X cloud-touches in a row. This diversity forces you to focus on different aspects of the game which result in a better gameplay!
- A day is only 5 minutes long. One game is easily played. In around 5 minutes you are done. So whenever you need to kill a couple of minutes (waiting for someone or whatever) you can play a game of Tiny Wings. Instant success.
Having these couple of aspects Tiny Wings can only be a success. The cute bird isn't enough. I mean, a 20 year old guy like me loves this game as well, there need to be more. And Tiny Wings did this successfully.

Bring a hint of the tropics to your garden with this new, hardy, white-flowered Passiflora, raised by a London gym owner
Bring a hint of the tropics to your garden with this new, hardy, white-flowered Passiflora, raised by a London gym owner
A big improvement on the old favourite 'Constance Eliott', the pure white flowers of 'Snow Queen' are almost 50% larger and remain open for two or three days, compared to a single day for 'Constance Eliott'.
The combination of larger and longer-lasting flowers leads to a far more colourful display.
'Snow Queen' is the latest in a series of fine new introductions, and the second in his Riverside® Series, from Myles Irvine, a gym owner from the quiet London suburb of Surbiton. He told me about his latest introduction.
"'Snow Queen' produces spectacular large pure white flowers which remain open for several days," he said. "It is an easy to care for, vigorous, hardy and floriferous climbing vine and will flourish in a dry sunny location with free draining soil. 'Snow Queen' can be grown over an obelisk, on a trellis perhaps as fence cover, in a pot on the patio or even in a conservatory."
Myles developed 'Snow Queen' by using, in 2007, pollen from an unusually hardy form of Passiflora caerulea to fertilise flowers of 'White Wedding'. In 2011 he selected 'Snow Queen' from the seedlings for the purity of its large, long-lasting white flowers and for its vigour and hardiness.
'Snow Queen' won the award for best new shrub or climber at last year's National Plant Show.
You can order plants of Passiflora 'Snow Queen' from Cornish Garden Nurseries, and from Cross Common Nursery and from Unwins.

Most of this site's traffic comes from.. Ukraine?
244 comments. Current rating: (53 votes). Leave comments and/ or rate it.
Today (12/30/2006) I reviewed this site's traffic. In general, traffic has increased, due to the popularity of the dating scammer section. I noticed that the number of visitors grew steadily but the transfered data volume had gone up big time.
You can see the number one most active visitor is 22.214.171.124. I used web site www.ip2location.com which said that this visitor is from New York (and belongs to Google, Inc.).
I suspect that this is some software. You can see that this visitor requested 5481 pages, and the total number of hits was also 5481.
Now, a regular visitor would request maybe 100 pages, and each page has on average 5 graphics, which would lead to 5 * 100 = 500 hits.
If a user loads 5481 pages and also only 5481 documents, then this means that the user did not load the images, and also did not load style sheets or javascript include files. In other words, this is not a human visitor.
For example if you look the last visitor in that table (IP number 64.233.*.*) then you see 533 pages were loaded, 4490 hits generated. Apparantly the average page had 4490/533 - 1 = 8 images.
Now the interesting part is that IP numbers 2 and 3 in this statistic both are resolved to come from the Ukraine! The ISP is NETCATHOSTING. I wonder why they hit my web server so heavily. You can see that the transferred data volume is huge - nearly 1.7 GB from 22.214.171.124 and 220.127.116.11 combined.
I will have an eye on these 2 IP numbers and possibly block them from viewing this site. Obviously this is not a human viewer, since the number of hits is identical to the number of pages requested.

Gas in the stomach is actually a natural thing because it is the result of the digestive process. However, if excessive, especially cause we repeatedly flue gas, is certainly very disturbing. In addition to making social discomfort, stink gas can cause pain and discomfort in the stomach. Changes in diet and lifestyle can help get rid of gas pains.
Here are tips on how to get rid of gas pains:
1. Limit foods that trigger gas in the stomach
Too much eating high-fiber foods such as nuts and tubers can trigger gas in the stomach. Limit vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, sprouts and cauliflower if you are experiencing stomach bloating. Alcohol and soft drinks can also make you more frequently fart and smell.
2. Change eating habits (Chew food slowly)
Change your eating habits to help the body digest food properly and reduce the air that goes into stomach while eating. Chew food slowly, mouth closed, not with a big bite and do not talk while eating. Do not use a straw when drinking, and avoid chewing gum to prevent more air into stomach.
3. Drinking herbal tea
Drinking herbal tea after meals can prevent the formation of gas in the intestines. Breastcancer.org recommends chamomile or peppermint tea, which can help your body digest food properly so preventing smelly fart. Green tea can also help.
4. Consumption of Probiotics
Probiotics are bacteria that are essential for intestinal health. There are many drugs that can kill the bacteria in the gut, such as antibiotics. Therefore, it is important to recharge the good bacteria. Probiotics can be obtained from the yogurt.
5. Drink Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes help break down and digest food. This supplement contains a substance produced by the body to break down food efficiently. Often due to stress and drugs, the body produces insufficient enzyme.

Playlab is a game developer and publisher based in Hong Kong, with production studios in Bangkok and Manila. Playlab apps include Juice Cubes, Jungle Cubes, and Ranch Run. Released in 2013, Juice Cubes is a strategy puzzle game with over 25 million downloads worldwide and over 100,000 five-star reviews on Google Play. The game has gained success in Southeast Asian markets such as Indonesia and Thailand, and in Western markets such as the US, Australia, the UK, and Canada.
What they did
As part of Juice Cubes' content update in April 2016, Playlab decided to refresh its Play Store icon and test whether different icons could increase their conversion rate.
Playlab used the Store Listing Experiments feature on the Google Play Console to test three variations of their new game icon.
Within three days of running the store listing experiment, Playlab saw positive results which led them to make an informed decision to change the current icon to the best-performing version. Variant C outperformed the initial control icon and the two other variants, with a 25% increase in installs. One month after applying the best-performing icon, Juice Cubes continued to see a 25% increase in the number of conversions from store visitors who made organic installs.
"Google Play Store Listing Experiments offer a fast, easy, and free way to do A/B testing on an icon. The data provided after each test helped us to make a decision really quickly. The best part is the team no longer needs so many resources to decide which icon to use because we can let the users decide." said Jakob Lykkegaard, CEO and co-founder of Playlab.

Rumored release dates for the Galaxy Nexus are not in short supply. Just about every other day now, another internal document makes its way online with a new, or old, release date for the device. The latest document to hit the Internet lends a helping hand to the credibility of an older rumored release date.
Just two days ago on the first on the month, a leaked Verizon memo pegged the Galaxy Nexus as releasing after Black Friday. A couple days before that, the release date for the European Nexus was set as November 17. It was said that the US Nexus will not be launching until after the European version does. Today, yet another internal document has leaked that puts the Verizon Galaxy Nexus on track for a November 17 release.
The document, obtained by Android Central, is said to be a "work in progress that will be sent out next week to all retail stores/partners along with promotional materials such as posters and flyers." Of course we'd like a little more solid evidence than what we have, but if nothing else, this is a sign to not give up hope yet.
It doesn't make sense for Verizon to wait until after the biggest shopping day of the year to release one of the biggest phones of the year, so don't be surprised if Big Red is rushing around trying to push the Nexus out the door as fast as possible. Either way, it won't be long now. We'll be sure to update you on any other release date madness we can get our hands on.

Happy Thanksgiving! Black families should set goals at this year's family dinner
Thanksgiving is a time of the year when we focus on love and family. And it presents an opportunity to consider at family gatherings the Black community's agenda. In our sociopolitical circles, we reference these ideas and calls-to-action as the Black collective thought. There's infinite power in this knowledge and perspective sharing, particularly from the Black family. On this year's menu of discussion will undoubtedly be Black Lives Matter.
What is being served by the Black family isn't the idea that just turkey alone will be enough or will the vegetables be enough, but it is (or should be) conversations that take place among families that can continue to build the value of Black lives.
Our conversations at Thanksgiving should reflect our family values. We should share special moments in history, photographs, videos, family goals, family prayers, family ideas and ideology, and the family's economic and political goals.
Thanksgiving can't just be about a football game. Thanksgiving should be about writing mom a note telling her how much we honor her and more. The value of Thanksgiving must be a celebration of a progressive future for Blacks, economically and politically.
Collectively, we must set our goals to achieve things that we are thankful for: set economic, social and family benchmarks. Thanksgiving comes before we go on our holiday spending sprees that should be concerned, conscious and focused. We know there are retailers that will not do business with us. We understand gifts will be given and received among family members. What is most important is that our dollars are respected. We must spend our dollars with corporations that respect us, support our Black institutions, Black colleges, Black artists, Black newspapers, Black magazines or our Black-owned businesses, media, etc.
Set goals on who to do business with within your community. In addition, educate family members on the companies who value and embrace diversity. For example, Macy's has a recruitment program for HBCU graduates. Macy's advertises with Black-owned businesses from rolling out to Black Enterprise magazine to other Black-owned newspapers across the country. They are an example of best-case practices and best in class practice, a model retailer. Others are questionable; we need to evaluate whether they really spend within our community, recruit at our Black colleges. We must really be honest; these are the real, intellectual discussions about how to recycle dollars in our community with Black vendors or companies that respect the Black community. Insurance companies and banking institutions need to be taken into consideration.
For some families, this may be a new topic of conversation: Is Hillary Clinton the best Democratic candidate to get the nomination? Or is it Bernie Sanders? We at least need to weigh in on the topic and set measurable goals on what we expect from the 2016 presidential election.
Let us be thankful this season for being able to celebrate with family. Start and end with prayer. Be honest about how we can advance collectively and have peace in our community.

Official Recommendations On Hand Washing and Drying: Paper Towels, Cloth Towels and Electric Hand Dryers
(part 4 – Australia – Canada – USA)
2011 – From the "Better Health Channel." Produced in association with the State Government of Victoria Department of Health
- A fact sheet under the 'Preventing Infection' section of a site with content that "has been prepared for Victorian residents and wider Australian audiences."
"How to wash your hands properly
To wash hands properly:
- Wet your hands with warm water.
- Apply one dose of liquid soap and lather (wash) well for 15–20 seconds (or longer if the dirt is ingrained).
- Rub hands together rapidly across all surfaces of your hands and wrists to help remove dirt and germs.
- Don't forget the backs of your hands, your wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
- If possible, remove rings and watches before you wash your hands, or ensure you move the rings to wash under them, as microorganisms can exist under them.
- Rinse well under running water and make sure all traces of soap are removed, as residues may cause irritation.
- Pat your hands dry using paper towels (or single-use cloth towels). Make sure your hands are thoroughly dry.
- Dry under any rings you wear, as they can be a source of future contamination if they remain moist.
- Hot air driers can be used but, again, you should ensure your hands are thoroughly dry.
- At home, give each family member their own towel and wash the towels often."
Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion
2010 Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee (PIDAC)
Describes "Best Practices for Hand Hygiene In All Health Care Settings" (see page 44)
Effective hand drying is important for maintaining hand health. Considerations include:
- Disposable paper hand-towels provide the lowest risk of cross-contamination and shall be used for drying hands in clinical practice areas.
- Cloth drying towels shall not be used.
- Towel dispensers shall be mounted such that access to them is unobstructed and splashing or dripping onto adjacent wall and floor surfaces is minimized.
- Towel dispenser design shall be such that only the towel is touched during removal of towel for use.
- To avoid recontamination of the hands, paper towels should be available to use on the exit door hardware and a waste container for used towels should be located near the exit door.
- Hot-air dryers must not be used in clinical areas and shall not be used with hand hygiene sinks.
- If hot-air dryers are used in non-clinical (public) areas:
- hands-free taps are required
- there must be a contingency for power interruptions.
Community and Hospital Infection Control Association-Canada
2008 Position Statement: Hand Hygiene
"Hand Washing
To wash your hands, use warm, running water, soap, and friction for at least 15 seconds. Wet hands, then lather and clean all surfaces of the hands concentrating on fingertips, between fingers, nail beds, back of hands and base of thumbs and thoroughly rinse after lathering and rubbing. Ideally, use individual paper towels to pat hands dry. Turn off the taps with the paper towel to avoid recontaminating your hands."
Public Health Agency of Canada
2010 Hand Hygiene Recommendations for Remote and Isolated Community Settings
"When Running Water is Available
When running tap water* is available (day-to-day and during an outbreak) in a community, wash hands with plain soap and water and dry thoroughly. The recommended procedure for hand washing using running water is as follows:
When Running Water is Not Available
[…] dry hands with a clean cloth or paper towel while taking special care to dry thoroughly between the fingers. Throw out the water from the hand washing container following each individual use"
Centre for Healthcare Related Infection Surveillance and Prevention & Tuberculosis Control – Department of Health (Queensland Government)
The Guideline Hand Hygiene of September 2013 (p. 3) state:
Routine/Social Hand Hygiene – Soap and Water:
1. Ensure jewellery has been removed
2. Wet hands thoroughly and lather vigorously using a neutral pH liquid soap for 15-30 seconds
3. Rub hands palm to palm
4. Right palm over left dorsum with interlaced fingers and vice versa
5. Palm to palm with fingers interlaced
6. Backs of fingers to opposing palms with fingers interlocked
7. Rotational rubbing of left thumb clasped in right palm and vice versa
8. Rotational rubbing, backwards and forwards with clasped fingers of right hand in left palm and vice versa
9. Rinse under running water
10. Do not touch taps with clean hands – if elbow or foot controls are not available, use paper towel to turn off taps
11. Pat hands dry using paper towel.
Ontario Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee
The Hand Hygiene Fact Sheet for Health Care Settings recommends:
"Dry hands thoroughly by blotting hands gently with a paper towel."

US Center for Disease Control
2009 Outbreak Prevention and Response Control – OPRP – General information on Hand Hygiene
- Information disseminated to the cruise line industry, which is heavily affected by outbreaks of gastroenteritis among passengers.
"Wet hands have been known to transfer pathogens much more readily than dry hands or hands not washed at all. The residual moisture determines the level of bacterial and viral transfer following hand washing. Careful hand drying is a critical factor for bacterial transfer to skin, food and environmental surfaces.
The drying times required to reduce the transfer of these pathogens varies with drying methods. Repeated drying of hands with reusable cloth towels is not recommended and should be avoided. Recommended hand drying methods and drying times are outlined below:
|Drying method
|Total drying time
|Single-use paper towels
|Rub hands on two paper towels drying hands for 10 seconds on each
20 seconds
|The first towel removes the bulk of the water; the seconds achieves complete drying
|Air dryer
|Rub hands together for while rotating them under warm air
30 – 45 seconds
|A prolonged drying period is required to achieve complete drying
|Single-use cloth towel
|Rub hands on two sections of the towel, drying hands for 10 seconds on each section
20 seconds
|The first section of the towel removes the bulk of the water; the seconds achieves complete drying"
2002 Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings
- Recommendations of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA Hand Hygiene Task Force
- From the introduction: "The Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings provides health-care workers (HCWs) with a review of data regarding handwashing and hand antisepsis in health-care settings. In addition, it provides specific recommendations to promote improved hand-hygiene practices and reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients and personnel in health-care settings."
Hand-hygiene technique
- When decontaminating hands with an alcohol-based hand rub, apply product to palm of one hand and rub hands together, covering all surfaces of hands and fingers, until hands are dry (IB) (288,410). Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the volume of product to use.
- When washing hands with soap and water, wet hands first with water, apply an amount of product recommended by the manufacturer to hands, and rub hands together vigorously for at least 15 seconds, covering all surfaces of the hands and fingers. Rinse hands with water and dry thoroughly with a disposable towel. Use towel to turn off the faucet (IB) (90-92,94,411). Avoid using hot water, because repeated exposure to hot water may increase the risk of dermatitis (IB) (254,255).
- Liquid, bar, leaflet or powdered forms of plain soap are acceptable when washing hands with a non-antimicrobial soap and water. When bar soap is used, soap racks that facilitate drainage and small bars of soap should be used (II) (412-415).
- Multiple-use cloth towels of the hanging or roll type are not recommended for use in health-care settings (II) (137,300)."

We have made a bunch of variations on this salad before with our Spicy "Fried" Chicken Cutlets. We tend to vary the type of greens, the dressing and the veggies that go in the salad, but this might be my favorite combination yet. I thought the buttermilk dressing was really nicely fresh and tangy and it worked really well with the spicy "fried" chicken. I have always been hesitant to use mayonnaise in salad dressing, but it worked beautifully here. Now that I have learned my lesson I won't be such a chicken in the future when it comes to using mayonnaise in my salad dressings and/or sauces. You can include any number of veggies (we had cucumbers and radishes in the fridge) and any salad green (baby spinach this time) so consider those ingredients as mere suggestions, but I highly recommend the combination of the dressing and the chicken!
Recipe after the jump!
Spicy "Fried" Chicken Spinach Salad with Buttermilk Dressing
For chicken
4 thin-cut chicken breasts/cutlets
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tbsp Tabasco
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/4 tsp black pepper, plus additional
1 tsp kosher salt, plus additional
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup lightly crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup lightly crushed cornflakes
1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
For dressing
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 shallot, peeled and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, minced1 1/2 tbsp mint, minced
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 shallot, peeled and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, minced1 1/2 tbsp mint, minced
For salad
spinach (or other salad green of your choice)
thinly sliced radishes
thinly sliced English cucumbers
cherry tomatoes, halved
Mix buttermilk, Tabasco, mustard, garlic, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1 tsp kosher salt in a large baking dish. Add chicken cutlets. Turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (turning chicken cutlets over halfway through). Remove chicken breasts from marinade and either drain on cooling rack or pat dry with paper towels.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Create a breading station using shallow pans or bowls. The first shallow pan should have the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, s&p. Stir to combine. The second shallow pan should have the lightly beaten egg, mixed with 1 tsp of cold water. The last shallow pan should have the panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, and Parm-Reg. Dip each chicken cutlet into the flour mixture, then the egg, and then the panko breadcrumb mixture. Be sure to shake off excess flour and egg before proceeding onto the next step. Coat both sides of the chicken cutlets in panko breadcrumbs, patting to make sure panko adheres if necessary. Place cooling rack over a rimmed cookie sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken cutlets on cooling rack. Make sure that chicken cutlets aren't touching each other to allow even air circulation and even crisping. Spray top side of chicken cutlets lightly with cooking spray.
Bake chicken until cooked through and the breadcrumbs are nice and golden, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine buttermilk, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, shallot, sugar, herbs and salt and pepper to taste in a mason jar and shake until thoroughly mixed.
Serve spinach topped with vegetables of your choice and chicken. Drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Meet the Founders Claire and Aruna
Claire Louise Matthews
To me, yoga is a dance between empowering techniques and the most gentle security blanket. Yoga is a forgiving, yet encouraging practice, resulting in strength, flexibility and clarity. I love guiding people of all ages through yoga practices so they may obtain the peace and balance they require and deserve.
My yoga journey began in 2002, when I entered a studio, hopeful to find relief from chronic neck pain. Within only a few classes, I found that relief, along with an inspired sense of purpose and a deep appreciation for the physical body and it's abilities.
I immediately began yoga teacher training to learn more about yoga's healing possibilities and preventative philosophies.

Energy. Teacher Training is filled with ideas that open hearts and minds to the world of yoga, because teaching well means boiling everything down to the simplest explanation which leads to proclamations of "Yes! I get it!" from all ages.
When the kids in her classes asked if they could keep her 3-D yoga props, Aruna answered with a resounding "Absolutely you can!" She invented the Frog Yoga Alphabet Teacher Training Double Pack and Yoga Man vs. The Stressor Teacher Trainings and E-books as an accessible, inexpensive solution.
When these kids grew into young adults and wanted to become yoga teachers, Aruna dived into developing Ambassador Yoga, the world's first Yoga Teacher Training geared to teens, as well as adults.
Aruna is Co-Founder /Director and Lead Teacher Trainer in Young Yoga Masters Registered Children's Yoga School and Ambassador Yoga Registered Yoga School. She is the author of Yoga Man vs. The Stressor: Yoga for Boys Teacher Training and Games and The Frog Yoga Alphabet and Games, and the award-winning Young Yoga Masters blog, where she's been blogging since 2007 exclusively about kids yoga.

The Inspiration for Ambassador Yoga: From Student to Teacher to Trainer
Ambassador yoga was started by two kids yoga teachers (that's us, Claire and Aruna), when we got inspired watching the kids we teach grow up.
As the children became tweens, then teens, we noticed kids yoga classes just didn't suit their needs. Tweens and teens wanted yoga that served their interests and lifestyle and they got excited by the idea of taking a Tween/Teen Leadership Program that would also prepare them to enter yoga teacher training.
If teens can get their drivers license, becoming a life guard and camp counselor, work part time in service industries and retail, if teens can do all this, we wondered, why can't they become yoga teachers?
And so the Ambassador Yoga 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training was born.
About the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
It took us three years to write this 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program, including the manuals, Trainer Lesson Plans, Yoga Alliance Syllabus. We tested it and revised it in our studio for three years as well.
The 200 hour Ambassador Yoga Teacher Training is so thorough and interactive that adults fell in love with it too! It equips those who have been taking yoga regularly (at least 40 classes) to become excellent yoga teachers.
About the Trainer Fast-Track Program
We created the 200 Hour program so we know the sacrifice of time and money it took to step back from other important things to create a Yoga Teacher Training.
So we knew that all this work could help other experienced yoga teachers get their Training started too. We knew the Trainer Fast-Track Program would help both adult yoga teacher and kids yoga teachers. Our goal is to help you start offering your yoga teacher training in 30 days by using our manuals, Trainer Lesson Plans, Yoga Alliance Syllabus, and marketing materials. We lead you (one-on-one over the phone or Skype) to deliver an amazing Training to your students.
Ambassador Yoga Growing Globally
The Ambassador faculty is expanding every month with new Experienced Yoga Teachers becoming Lead Trainers in their own Registered Yoga Schools. If this sounds like something that could help you, you can get more information here.

Skills Show organisers Find a Future have challenged political parties to promise young people access to "experiential careers advice".
Its boss, Ross Maloney, called for the parties to pledge more detailed careers guidance, including opportunities such as the 'have-a-gos' available at the Skills Show, in their manifestos.
"Many young people are currently unclear about the opportunities open to them, from apprenticeships, traineeships, FE and training," he said. "We are calling on political parties to pledge to ensure all these avenues are properly promoted and utilised if elected."
A Find a Future spokesperson told FE Week: "Political parties should prioritise the provision of experiential careers advice for all young people."
In a speech earlier this month, Labour leader Ed Miliband said that his party would introduce "proper work experience compulsory for all as part of the school curriculum".
A Conservative Party spokesperson said the careers and enterprise company proposed by Nicky Morgan in December would "help young people access the best advice and inspiration by encouraging greater collaboration between schools and colleges and employers".
But, speaking to Rolls-Royce workers at a factory in West Sussex last week, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "There are good things happening, but I think there are a couple of areas we still need to get right. One is the careers advice we give to people in schools. So often when I meet apprentices and I ask 'how did you hear about the apprenticeships' they say 'well, I found it online' or 'I knew a family friend' or 'I knew the business because it was nearby'. I don't get the answer enough: 'I was told at school about the apprenticeship pathways as well as the university pathway.'"
He also promised to publish job prospects data and likely salary for each university and academic course, and apprenticeship.
A Lib Dem spokesperson said: "We have included in our pre-manifesto, plans to improve the provision of independent careers information, advice and guidance for all, including through job centres for people seeking new options later in life."
It comes with Labour unable to guarantee that 16 to 19 funding, which it said it would ringfence within an "overall" education budget, could not be shifted to school spending. Speaking to FE Week following the ringfence announcement, Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt said: "We will put forward those spending proposals when we're in government."
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, who has pledged the same ringfence protection as Labour, also declined to say whether 16 to 19 education would get its own internal ringfence.
Speaking at this month's Skills Summit in London, Skills Minister Nick Boles said he would not "offer or guarantee" that his party would offer the same protection.

ControlPort GETCONF does not recognize command aliases
|Reported by:

|Tor: unspecified
|Core Tor/Tor
|tor-client controller alias easy
|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
Because commands passed to GETCONF are not looked-up in the aliases table with
expand_abbrev(), we reject GETCONF requests for options that would be valid (though deprecated) if they were used in a torrc.
For example,
GETCONF AllowInvalidNodes works whereas
GETCONF AllowUnverifiedNodes fails.
AllowUnverifiedNodes is a deprecated alias for
I propose fixing this by having
handle_control_getconf() first call
expand_abbrev() on the option it's going to look up. I'll attach a patch that does that for review.

comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by
I'm worried about doing anything that enshrines deprecated config names (especially prefix-based aliases). We'd like to be able to remove these things someday.
What's the rationale on this one? Why can't the controller use the real option names?
comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by
What's the rationale on this one? Why can't the controller use the real option names?
I'm confused by your use of "the controller"; I think I *am* trying to modify the controller (
or/control.c:handle_control_getconf()) to perform that lookup so that it can use the real option names.
I think you must be instead asking "Why can't an application (in this case,
arm) using the Tor controller pass real option names to the controller?", and some possible answers are:
- the application could have been developed before the option name it's interested in was deprecated, or
- the application would like to be able to assume that a running torrc contains real option names, so that it doesn't have to carry around option name mappings, which would just become stale, leading back to the last bullet point.
I think I must still be missing something about your comment, though -- could you elaborate?
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by
The controller is not control.c; the controller is the program that uses the control port to control Tor.
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by
Summarizing IRC conversation:
- Nick isn't okay with expanding abbreviations for controllers, just aliases.
- That sounds okay to cjb.
- Atagar's worried that he's going to end up emitting warnings into the Tor log each time a controller tries to refresh current settings from a torrc. (Maybe that should get a different bug.)
comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by
Yup, that's definitely a separate issue and I've never met someone that used abbreviations in their torrc so I'm not too concerned about it. Cheers! -Damian
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by
Rate-limiting the warnings seems okay, as does emitting each one at most per torrc reload.

Separate ticket created for that issue:
comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by
cjb, atagar: does that mean this trac is closable?
comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by
arma: I think the answer is "no"; they're still hoping for the aliases table (but not the general abbreviation mechanism) to get used for getconf/setconf, and I don't think it is.

Football betting attracts billions of bucks every year. From professional bettors to occasional ones, everybody wants to win big whenever a season starts. But, as it turns out, most bettors end up losing their money every season. The difference between those who win and those who lose is just a bit of hard work and proper planning. If you too want to turn the odds in your favour next season, here are some of the best strategies that can help you make safer wagers-
1. Managing your funds– To be a successful bettor, you must decide where to bet and how much to bet. A smart bettor never puts in all the funds they have. Once you decide how many units of your bankroll you would be betting on each bet, stick to it. It is advised to bet equal and small amounts on different markets. This helps in preventing your bankroll from getting a serious blow due to a large bet loss. ... Leer más

7 Ways to Outsmart the Super Markets (Part 7 - End)
Outsmart Checkout Impulses
And the last, but certainly not least dangerous contact point between you and your supermarket's products is the checkout lane. Fully stocked with sugary, salty and saturated fatty snacks, these grab-n-go items can pack a punch when it comes to piling on empty calories. Along with the plethora of candy situated in the checkout aisle are cold sodas, foamy fountain drinks, salty trail mixes and magazines touting the latest weight-loss craze. You can easily add hundreds of calories and a few extra bucks to your bill in the minutes you spend checking out.
Battle plan: Flip through a magazine you know you won't buy, chat with the person standing behind you in line, organize your groceries perfectly on the conveyor belt—anything to keep your hand from wandering to those impulse purchases. If you haven't eaten in hours and you don't think you can make it home, plan ahead and purchase an extra piece of fruit to eat on your ride home.
(This is a hard one to pass by! I'm standing there waiting in line. There are all the goodies that I know taste so good. I tell myself, "OK. Lets just buy one this time. I can eat it in the car and no one will know that I cheated on my diet. That is no one but me! and my scales!)

Only the 'most rusted on Labor supporters' could thank Premier Andrews21/09/2020|8min
Sky News host Alan Jones says only "the most rusted on Labor supporters" could thank Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews for what he has done in the state. On Monday Premier Andrews said it was "a great day" as Victoria reported a record low of 11 new coronavirus infections and two deaths overnight. "This is not just a good day, this is a great day," the Premier said. "The real question is, how much should Daniel Andrews be smashed for allowing this virus to spread," Mr Jones said. "And please, don't start giving Daniel Andrews credit for turning it around, or allegedly".

Coast of São Paulo State, from Santos to Ilhabela, Brazil23.7S 45.3W
This orthorectified wide-swath ASAR image stretches along the coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from the city of Santos (left edge) to the archipelago of Ilhabela (Portuguese for Beautiful Island, near the right edge).
Ilhabela is an archipelago and city situated 4 miles off the coast of São Paulo state, in Brazil. The island is 205 km from the city of São Paulo and 340 km from the city of Rio de Janeiro. The largest island, although commonly called Ilhabela, is officially named Ilha de São Sebastião (St. Sebastian Island). The islands in total cover 348 km2.
The city of Santos is divided into two distinct geographic areas: the islands and the continental area. Santos partially lies on the island of São Vicente (Saint Vincent). It includes a flat area – Plain Coastal extension of the State of São Paulo – which has altitudes that rarely go above twenty meters above sea level, and an area composed of isolated hills called the Mass of São Vicente, whose height does not exceed 200 meters above sea level. Many ships can be seen in the waters approaching the city.

Hillary Clinton Addresses the Nation: "We Must Look to the Future"
The Democratic party nominee delivers her final concession speech: "I still believe in America and I always will."
The Democratic party nominee delivers her final concession speech: "I still believe in America and I always will."
Text: Ian David Monroe
Today, at 11:30 AM ET, Hillary Clinton addressed the nation from the New Yorker Hotel in NYC. Following an introduction by running mate Tim Kaine, Clinton took the stage.
She opened the speech by addressing Donald Trump's win, and that she has promised to assist him "on behalf of our country." She further reminded her supporters, despite their feelings, that they owe Donald Trump an "open mind and the chance to lead."
Clinton takes the podium at the 43:00 mark.
The speech was full of similar calls to action, which come at a time when many are wondering what to do next: "Let us not grow weary, let us not lose heart," and "we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives."
This is easily the most emotional we've seen Clinton since she began campaigning back in April of 2015. Her steely persona—likely a response to misogynistic criticism of women's ability to act without emotion—finally softened. "I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too. And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful, and it will be for a long time."
Had Clinton won, she would have been the first female president of the United States—a role model, example of the heights women can reach in this country. "I know we have still not chattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling but some day someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now," she said, adding: "To all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams."

At least two Americans killed in Kenya plane crash
omersukrugoksu/iStock(LONDON) — Five people, including at least two Americans, were killed when their small plane crashed in Kenya's Great Rift Valley region on Wednesday, officials said.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority on Wednesday morning received a distress signal from the light aircraft, which was headed from the Masai Mara National Reserve to the northwest town of Lodwar. The plane went down in a field in Londiani, a town in Kericho County, some 125 miles from where it took off, according to Capt. Gilbert Kibe, director general of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, who confirmed that all five people on board died.
An official with the U.S. Department of State confirmed that two U.S. citizens were among those killed.
"We are aware of the plane crash earlier today in Londiani, Kericho County, Kenya, and can confirm the death of two U.S. citizens," the official told ABC News in a statement Wednesday night.
The nationalities of the other people on board were not immediately known.
The U.S. government is in touch with Kenyan authorities regarding the crash, according to the State Department official, who referred ABC News to Kenyan authorities for further information.
"We offer our sincerest condolences to their family and friends and stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance," the official added.

Christ is born! Христос Раждається!
In the Byzantine Icon of the Nativity of our Lord, the place of Jesus' birth is depicted as a cave – a hole in the earth. It is a setting far from the comforts of home. There is no tinsel, no candy, no turkey dinner at the first Christmas; this setting is the consequence of there being "no room in the inn" and God's choice to enter creation – our time and space. So, the earth itself welcomed its Creator!
If it happened now as it happened then… who would do the welcoming? God continues to come to us in ways and in places we least expect. May we be open to surprise and pray for the grace to recognize God With Us in every time and every place.
On behalf of the Redemptorists of the Yorkton Province, I wish you a blessed Christmas and an ever deepening awareness of God's loving presence in your life and in the world around you. May the joy and peace of this holy season be with you throughout the new year!
Glorify Him!
Fr. Larry Kondra, C.Ss.R.

Radamel Falcao has told France Football that he intends to become a professional baseball player after he calls time on his football career.
The Colombia international has enjoyed great success, especially in Europe, where he has won league titles with Porto and Monaco as well as winning the Copa del Rey and Europa League with Atletico Madrid.
The striker also had spells with Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea but failed to make the desired impact after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee which saw him miss the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
At the age of 33, Falcao is edging closer to the end of his career but he has expressed his desire to become a professional baseball player when he decides to hang up his boots.
"I love baseball," he said. "When I was young in Venezuela where I grew up, I used to play the sport at a very high level. I often speak about it with my wife. I believe that when I finish my footballing career, I'll try out as a professional baseball player."
Falcao is determined to surpass NBA hall of fame star Michael Jordan -- who played baseball for a year after his first retirement from basketball -- and become the first footballer to succeed in Major League Baseball.
He added: "Like Jordan, even if he was a basketball player who wasn't able to play in the top leagues at the highest level. I want to become to first to achieve that!"
