Skipper Josh Dear reckons St Ives' disappointment at seeing their winning start to the Midlands Division Three East (South) season come to an end highlights the club's progress.
The Bulls began the campaign with back-to-back triumphs before being held to a 23-23 deadlock by Leicester Forest in the first-ever clash between the two sides last Saturday.
It was a ding-dong duel at Somersham Road as St Ives edged into a narrow advantage at the break only to be pegged back in the second half when the teams exchanged late tries.
Dear admitted: "A third successive win wasn't to be, but we can look at all other teams in this division knowing that we are a match for them.
"The fact we're so disappointed with a draw is an indication of the high standards we've set ourselves."
Paul Ashbridge provided the vast majority of St Ives' points and he broke the deadlock with a penalty before converting his own try to ease his side into a 10-point lead.
The visitors responded with a pair of penalties before claiming a try on the overlap after St Ives had seen Ollie Bartlett yellow-carded.
Ashbridge edged the Bulls back ahead with a penalty on the stroke of the interval, but they found themselves in arrears again in the second period after a speculative kick bounced kindly for the visitors to grab their second try.
That was the way it stayed until an action-packed final 10 minutes which began with the trusty boot of Ashbridge levelling the scores.
From the resulting kick-off, St Ives hit the front as Luke Slade was on hand to grab a try after Alex Henly had burst past a couple of tackles close to the touchline.
Ashbridge did the honours with the conversion to take his personal tally to 18 points and leave his side seven points to the good, but their lead was wiped out by a converted Leicester Forest try in the dying moments.
St Ives go to Long Buckby tomorrow.

On Christmas Day, the Bulls will face the Lakers, where they will face a squad minus longtime stalwart Lamar Odom. It would be presumptuous to call the Lakers, featuring a new head coach in Mike Brown after Phil Jackson's retirement, a team in disarray. But after trading Odom to the defending-champion Mavericks for a nearly 9 million trade exception and failing to acquire Chris Paul in an attempted deal with the NBA-owned Hornets -- both the departed Odom and holdover Pau Gasol, who would have been shipped to the Rockets, reportedly took umbrage at the swap, as did veteran leader Kobe Bryant -- short of somehow acquiring Dwight Howard (which would likely require trading both Gasol and center Andrew Bynum to the Magic), the aging Lakers are now perceived as no longer one of the league's elite teams.
So while Derrick Rose won't face off with Paul in the season opener, he'll take on his fellow All-Star point guard on the Bulls' first road trip, when the team returns to Los Angeles on Dec. 30, before returning to Chicago in advance of the home opener New Year's Day at the United Center. Paul was dealt to the other tenants of the Staples Center, the Clippers, late Wednesday, in exchange for promising young shooting guard Eric Gordon, former All-Star center Chris Kaman, second-year small forward Al-Farouq Aminu and a 2012 first-round draft pick, courtesy of the Timberwolves.
The trade was finally consummated after the Clippers, like the Lakers, had their initial trade proposal -- which didn't feature Gordon, who averaged 23 points per game last season and is due to be a free agent next summer -- rejected by the league. Including Gordon, who is poised to be on the fringe of an All-Star Game berth, in the transaction was a high price to pay for the Clippers, who now have four point guards with Paul, the recently acquired Chauncey Billups (signed after being waived by the Knicks), incumbent starter Mo Williams (who was shipped to L.A. in exchange for Baron Davis, due to be amnestied by the Cavaliers, last season) and Eric Bledsoe, a second-year player currently out with a knee injury.
For former Bulls head coach Vinny Del Negro, there could be worse problems -- Billups could fill Gordon's void at shooting guard -- as reigning Rookie of the Year Blake Griffin at power forward, free-agent signee Caron Butler at small forward and re-signed athletic young center DeAndre Jordan (the Clippers matched the Warriors' four-year, 43-million offer sheet) is a potent frontcourt for the unselfish Paul to distribute to. The Clippers still have a long way to go before being taken seriously as a contending team, but based on their roster, anything short of a playoff berth would be a major disappointment.
When compared to the Clippers' big splash, the Bulls' shooting-guard saga, which resulted in Rip Hamilton signing a reported three-year, 15-million contract Wednesday, seems minor, regardless of the disparity of the two teams' respective situations entering the season. However, while the Bulls have an eye on a championship and the Clippers are just seeking respectability, one thing's for certain: Dec. 30, perhaps even more than the season opener, will be must-see TV.

Hummel's elegant, easy-going melodic style seems custom-made for the flute, and his three lightweight sonatas are lacking in neither diversity nor charm. The Grand rondeau brillant is entertainingly like a Weber display piece. The performances on Naxos are both sunny and technically felicitous, and are warmly recorded. The Trio is an ingenuous set of variations on a Russian folk tune which lends itself to sparkling divisions. Here there is plenty of bustle before the work ends peacefully.
"This fascinating issue will have a wide appeal, particularly at super-bargain price."
"the performers, all Canadians, are technically top drawer and altogether committed to playing the music for all it is worth"

The Elementary Structures of Kinship
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
The Elementary Structures of Kinship (French: Les structures élémentaires de la parenté) is a book by French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, first published in 1949 by the Presses Universitaires de France.
In 1948 Lévi-Strauss received his doctorate from the Sorbonne by submitting, in the French tradition, both a "major" and a "minor" thesis. These were The Family and Social Life of the Nambikwara Indians and The Elementary Structures of Kinship, both based on ethnographic fieldwork in South America.
The Elementary Structures of Kinship was published in 1949 and quickly came to be regarded as one of the most important anthropological works on kinship. It was even reviewed favorably by Simone de Beauvoir, who viewed it as an important statement of the position of women in non-western cultures. A play on the title of Durkheim's famous Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, Elementary Structures re-examined how people organized their families by examining the logical structures that underlay relationships rather than their contents. While British anthropologists such as Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown argued that kinship was based on descent from a common ancestor, Lévi-Strauss argued that kinship was based on the alliance between two families that formed when women from one group married men from another.

"DAVOS, Switzerland — The world needs a treaty to prevent cyber attacks becoming an all-out war, the head of the main UN communications and technology agency warned Saturday.
International Telcommunications Union secretary general Hamadoun Toure gave his warning at a World Economic Forum debate where experts said nations must now consider when a cyber attack becomes a declaration of war.
With attacks on Google from China a major talking point in Davos, Toure said the risk of a cyber conflict between two nations grows every year.
He proposed a treaty in which countries would engage not to make the first cyber strike against another nation.
"A cyber war would be worse than a tsunami — a catastrophe," the UN official said, highlighting examples such as attacks on Estonia last year.
He proposed an international accord, adding: "The framework would look like a peace treaty before a war."

What Is Social Media Management? – Why Bother Using A SMM Company
The Latest From Bmoozd • Learn All About Marketing
Would you not agree that the world seems to have gone social media mad? More and more of us are now using social media, and from individuals to companies, we all seem to have that social bug! And a bug it might possibly be, but as a company or as a local business, can you afford not to be on social media?
Social media has definitely developed into a must have form of marketing and even though the return on investment might seem rather cloudy at first, the odds will always be well in your favour when using social media to spread the word and to build your brand online.
Whether you are utilising your social media inhouse, or are using the services of a company, social media management will form a vital part in your success and is something that you should never ignore.
So Just What Is Social Media Management?
Well in a nutshell, social media management is the process of managing all of your social media accounts and managing them effectively. When we talk about social media accounts, we are referring to the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest & LinkedIn, just to name a few. These are still the core channels and the ones that most companies see the most benefit from.
What most of us don't get however, is that social media management goes far beyond just creating a few posts and sending them across to your portals. If things were that easy, you would be doing this all yourself? Would you not?
Social media management includes tasks such as audience interaction, follower vetting, and contest creation, just to name a few. So, let's now start by looking at this in a little bit more detail.
Selecting The Correct Social Media Management Platform
This can be a hard call, if you are doing this yourself and have very little knowledge of the various platforms. Every social media platform differs and every social media platform will bring you different results.
So, let's start by running through our core social media platforms, giving you an idea of what they are best used for:
• There are more than 2 billion daily active users
• People now spend on average a little over of 35 minutes a day on Facebook
• If you use video as a company, Facebook is an ideal platform, with 8 billion average daily views for video
• 93% of marketers are using Facebook for their clients marketing
• 93% of social media advertisers now use Facebook
• So, as a new or upcoming brand, this platform is a real must
• There are now 800 million active users on Instagram
• An estimated 72% of all businesses now use Instagram
• 80% of all users actually follow a business on Instagram
• 65% of top Instagram posts feature products
• User generated content has a 4.5% higher conversion rate
• And 59% of 18 – 29 year olds now use Instagram
• So, again if you are not using Instagram for your business, now might be a good time to start
• There are currently 330 million active users
• The users are spread out globally
• Many are college or university educated
• The genders are fairly evenly split
• Twitter is ideal for small to medium sized businesses
• A third of all Twitter users will now retweet your message
• And video converts very well on Twitter
• Pinterest has now become the place to learn, research and shop
• And whilst it may not be as big as Facebook, strong images will go a long way when using Pinterest
• 1.40% of all users on Pinterest have an income of over £55,000 – so a great platform for luxury goods
• 3% of all users are adults
• And 93% of all active pinners said that they have used Pinterest to purchase
• LinkedIn now has well over 500 million users
• About 260 million users are logging in every month
• 40% of your monthly users are active daily users
• If you are looking to attract senior level influencers you have come to the right place with over 61 million being just that
• For B2B it's the best of the lot
• And 91% of marketing executives now list LinkedIn as the top place to find quality content
Developing The Right Type Of Social Media Strategy
Developing the right type of social media strategy is probably the most important thing that you will do as a business. Let's remember that it's not just about sourcing interesting content, but also about when to post. You need to understand and work out, just when the best time would be, in order to communicate with your core followers.
One way of putting this in place is via an editorial calendar. This is basically an expanded spreadsheet that would list your social media portals, the times of day and days per month, and what you intend to post. We have enclosed a free editorial calendar in this link, play around with it and start building your content today.
Creating And Posting Content To Your Social Media Profiles
Knowing what to post and how to source the content, could be the difference between make or break. This is something which is not always the easiest of tasks and needs to be well researched.
The 80/20 rule plays a big part here, whereby 80% of all content should be highly useful, shared and not necessarily your own, whilst the remaining 20% should be about selling your service or product.
As humans we all love to be entertained, whether it's for business or pleasure, and interesting content will always go down well when shared with the right audience.
Things like tips, tricks or ideas on your subject are always well received, and remember they don't have to be from you. Shared content plays a big part of any social media strategy, and using tools like UpContent will help you to discover and find great content to share.
Interacting With Your Fans And Audience
Now there is no point in spending hours and hours building up a big audience or following, only to be totally dead when it comes to interaction. Most social media platforms place a big emphasis on the above and will even mark you down, if you are not responding well and on time to your audience's questions.
Let's always remember here that we need our audience to be on our side and to like what we do. This will lead to a greater relationship and to great customer reviews, all of which will go a long way when it comes to building your brand online.
Follower Vetting
Having followers or even likes from an audience that have no interest in what you do, or in the service that you provide, is not a great way to expand your business. But unfortunately, and sometimes without you realising, this does happen.
Follower vetting plays an important part of any social media strategy and needs to be carefully monitored and implemented. Never be afraid of removing 500 followers from your business page, if you feel that they are most likely spam, as it will help you and benefit your brand in the long run.
Creating Sweepstakes Or Competitions
Another great way to get more followers and to get your existing followers more involved, is though sweepstakes or competitions. Running a competition, whereby you give something away in exchange for likes or followers is a very powerful form of social media marketing, and one that most major brands exercise. There are a lot of tools out there that specialise in building social media competitions and are also fairly easy to use, one of the easiest being rafflecopter.
Tracking Your Performance Over Time
Metrics and performance are key to any form of social media management. There is no point in building up followers, creating sweepstakes, or creating social media advertising, without a good way of monitoring your results. Tracking your performance over time, will allow you to eliminate any bad campaigns and to improve on strategies that seem to be working well. Most social media management companies will have the software in place to carry out the above and to report back to you over time.
Can You Now See Just How Important Social Media Management Is
After reading most of the above, you should now have a fair understanding of what social media management is all about. Hopefully you will agree with us, when we say that social media management is now vital for any well run and performing social media campaign.
As a company or as a corporation, you will need some sort of a social media management plan in place to see any form of return on investment.
So Why Bother Using A Social Media Management Company
Well, we all want results when it comes to using social media, and social media can at times seem like an uphill battle. Sometimes as a small to medium sized business, time is a vital commodity and time spent on social media, could be better spent elsewhere.
And as a large business or corporation, you might well find that your inhouse staff are just playing around with social media and not really achieving anything by using it.
This is where a social media management company will come into play. Most decent social media companies will have both the expertise and the staff in place to create, manage and develop your brand online via social media.
Now one final thing to remember, is that the return on investment is unlikely to be something that will happen overnight, and in most cases, you will need to give this 6 – 8 months before you start seeing any real movement.
Companies that have both the foresight and the will to jump onboard will seriously benefit from the power of social media marketing. If, however you are looking for short quick term fixes, I can honestly say that this is unlikely to be for you.

Our Chapter
Elna Johnson, Class of 1919, a member of the Eta Chapter of Kappa Delta at Hunter College in New York City, transferred to Cornell University in the Fall of 1916. She roomed in Sage College on Central Campus (now the Johnson Graduate School of Management) where she interested a group of her friends in forming a local chapter of Kappa Delta. The Omega Chi chapter of Kappa Delta received its charter on May 5, 1917, becoming the 30th chartered chapter of the national sorority.
The chapter first rented space in a house on Wait Avenue, since demolished to make room for Balch Hall. Our current residence at 109 Triphammer Road was purchased in 1923, when North Campus was little more than farmland. The house was expanded several times to make room for our growing membership. Kappa Delta is proud to be one of three Cornell sororities that still own their original properties. Today, the Omega Chi Chapter of Kappa Delta is thriving at Cornell. We are an organization of over 100 diverse, intelligent, talented and strong women.

Role: Head of Global Accounting
Office: Turin, Italy
Year joined Deltatre: 2018
Deltatre in three words: Passion, innovation, family
I was born in a very small village in Italy, about an hour away from Turin.
I grew up with a passion for foreign languages that I pursued for a few years and then realised I didn't want to study literature, so I followed my father's path and started studying economics and business administration.
I graduated from the University of Turin in Business Management and after that, I started working with an auditing firm.
Two years ago I was appointed as the auditor of Deltatre and we met and fell in love!
In Turin, there are lots of car manufacturing businesses and I knew this was something different. I knew it was a cool business working with sport, media, and entertainment.
All the auditors who worked with Deltatre would always come back saying it's an amazing place and that the people are so nice. It was everyone's favourite client.
For me, the most important thing when I'm looking for a job is the people you work with, and I really enjoyed being around the people I used to audit.
We're a very integrated group. We're a very integrated group. I sit next to my team in Turin, but I'm equally as close to my teams in the UK and Germany – that's probably the thing that I like the most.
You have the chance to see a lot of different things and your team is everywhere. We also work with people from different companies and I have travelled quite a lot to Germany and the UK too.
It's really hard to pinpoint a standard day because working in finance, we don't have a scheduled job.
Deltatre really does try and create as many opportunities as possible for people to get together. In Turin, when there's a World Cup for example, we've got a big screen outside so everyone who wants to can watch together.
Whenever a big piece of work is finished there's also often a celebration here at the offices to mark a job well done. In general, we try to socialise as much as possible as it's the only way you can build a team.
Yes, when I was at uni I used to work at a local paper and I used to cover sports. I'd follow football, volleyball, and hockey. If I didn't start working in finance, I'd be a sports journalist I think!
I enjoy watching amateur sports. I normally go to a very small football pitch and watch lower division football when I'm home. I also like watching films and TV series'.
I appreciate all the effort that's behind it. When I started working here, the team walked me through what we do when a game is on and I spent an evening working with everyone.
I've really developed an appreciation for the skills, love, and passion for the game that everyone has.
People love it here! Most of the people I work with have been working here for 20 to 25 years and have seen the company grow. They feel like this is their family and their home. It's beautiful!
I really like the idea of working in a place where metaphorically you can wear the company's shirt with pride, like you're wearing a football kit.

Smartwatches and other fitness wearables have been popular gift items these last couple holiday shopping seasons. As we inch closer to the end of 2016, they are expected to be hot commodities once again. A rumor just surfaced stating Fitbit has plans to acquire Pebble before EOY. The acquisition probably makes a lot of sense for both firms. The former represents the future of smartwatches while the latter represents the birth of the smartwatch. Reportedly the terms of the deal are in the $35-40 Million range, which is ironic considering watchmaker Citizen offered to buy Pebble for $740 Million in 2015.
Will Fitbit Acquire Pebble?

Light microscopes commonly used in the undergraduate college laboratory magnify up to approximately 400 times. Two parameters that are important in microscopy are magnification and resolving power. Magnification is the degree of enlargement of an object. Resolving power is the ability of a microscope to allow the eye to distinguish two adjacent structures as separate; the higher the resolution, the closer those two objects can be, and the better the clarity and detail of the image. When oil immersion lenses are used, magnification is usually increased to 1,000 times for the study of smaller cells, like most prokaryotic cells. Because light entering a specimen from below is focused onto the eye of an observer, the specimen can be viewed using light microscopy. For this reason, for light to pass through a specimen, the sample must be thin or translucent.
For another perspective on cell size, try the HowBig interactive.
A second type of microscope used in laboratories is the dissecting microscope ( [link] b ). These microscopes have a lower magnification (20 to 80 times the object size) than light microscopes and can provide a three-dimensional view of the specimen. Thick objects can be examined with many components in focus at the same time. These microscopes are designed to give a magnified and clear view of tissue structure as well as the anatomy of the whole organism. Like light microscopes, most modern dissecting microscopes are also binocular, meaning that they have two separate lens systems, one for each eye. The lens systems are separated by a certain distance, and therefore provide a sense of depth in the view of their subject to make manipulations by hand easier. Dissecting microscopes also have optics that correct the image so that it appears as if being seen by the naked eye and not as an inverted image. The light illuminating a sample under a dissecting microscope typically comes from above the sample, but may also be directed from below.
In contrast to light microscopes, electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of a beam of light. Not only does this allow for higher magnification and, thus, more detail ( [link] ), it also provides higher resolving power. Preparation of a specimen for viewing under an electron microscope will kill it; therefore, live cells cannot be viewed using this type of microscopy. In addition, the electron beam moves best in a vacuum, making it impossible to view living materials.
In a scanning electron microscope, a beam of electrons moves back and forth across a cell's surface, rendering the details of cell surface characteristics by reflection. Cells and other structures are usually coated with a metal like gold. In a transmission electron microscope, the electron beam is transmitted through the cell and provides details of a cell's internal structures. As you might imagine, electron microscopes are significantly more bulky and expensive than are light microscopes.
Cytotechnologists ( cyto - = cell) are professionals who study cells through microscopic examinations and other laboratory tests. They are trained to determine which cellular changes are within normal limits or are abnormal. Their focus is not limited to cervical cells; they study cellular specimens that come from all organs. When they notice abnormalities, they consult a pathologist, who is a medical doctor who can make a clinical diagnosis.
Cytotechnologists play vital roles in saving people's lives. When abnormalities are discovered early, a patient's treatment can begin sooner, which usually increases the chances of successful treatment.
The microscopes we use today are far more complex than those used in the 1600s by Antony van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch shopkeeper who had great skill in crafting lenses. Despite the limitations of his now-ancient lenses, van Leeuwenhoek observed the movements of protists (a type of single-celled organism) and sperm, which he collectively termed "animalcules."
In a 1665 publication called Micrographia , experimental scientist Robert Hooke coined the term "cell" (from the Latin cella , meaning "small room") for the box-like structures he observed when viewing cork tissue through a lens. In the 1670s, van Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria and protozoa. Later advances in lenses and microscope construction enabled other scientists to see different components inside cells.
By the late 1830s, botanist Matthias Schleiden and zoologist Theodor Schwann were studying tissues and proposed the unified cell theory , which states that all living things are composed of one or more cells, that the cell is the basic unit of life, and that all new cells arise from existing cells. These principles still stand today.
A cell is the smallest unit of life. Most cells are so small that they cannot be viewed with the naked eye. Therefore, scientists must use microscopes to study cells. Electron microscopes provide higher magnification, higher resolution, and more detail than light microscopes. The unified cell theory states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and new cells arise from existing cells.

Ever since she was a little girl, American Brittany dreamed that she would get married in a little white church nestled in an Alpine valley in Switzerland.
Located in Davos, a picturesque town in the Swiss Alps, the Reformed Church of Davos Frauenkirch (Reformierte Kirche Davos Frauenkirch), is certainly a beauty – a tiny 14th century venue in a stunning setting of rolling pastures.
But, more significantly, it is also the church where Brittany's grandparents, Tootsie and Pops, married in July 1946, shortly after World War II.
American solider Pops had been stationed in Germany during the end of WWII and during a brief trip to Switzerland to enjoy a spot of skiing, he ended up in a local hospital with a broken leg. It was here that he met Tootsie, who would regularly visit the hospital with a handful of mountain flowers to cheer up convalescing soldiers.
Their conversations and love grew and grew – and, later, they tied the knot in Frauenkirch on 21 July 1946 before sailing back to the United States for a wonderful future together.
Fast forward to August 2018 and it was the turn of granddaughter Brittany to marry the love of her life, Ryan, in that same little white church.
Brittany and Ryan met in California on a blind date set up by mutual friends and later got engaged with a little help from the other love in their lives – Tallulah, a sweet Wheaten Terrier dog.
The travel-loving couple, who now live in Texas, enjoyed a heartfelt and wonderfully simple wedding with just their very closest friends and immediate family.
This was followed by a marvellous celebratory dinner at Hotel Walserhuus Sertig, housed under the mountain peaks of Hochducan and Mittagshorn, where Brittany wore a transformed version of her Grandmother's wedding dress.
The couple are planning a 'HUGE' reception in Dallas on their return to celebrate their amazing love story with friends and we're so thrilled and honoured to have captured this love story for everyone back home to enjoy, too.

Golf Digest Will Live on as a Print Magazine Under Discovery Ownership
It's an otherwise troubling time for some sports media titles
Discovery Inc. acquired Golf Digest from Condé Nast, the parties announced this morning. Terms of the agreement were not made public, but the New York Post, citing persons familiar with the deal, pegged the cost to be about $30 million.
Discovery will continue to publish Golf Digest as a regular, monthly magazine and will bolster coverage including course rankings, instructional videos and travel destinations, the company said this morning.
Discovery positioned the acquisition as a way to grow its reach in the U.S. in addition to its audience with GOLFTV, which has exclusive carriage rights to the PGA Tour, the European Tour and the Ladies European Tour, as well as the Masters Tournament in territories outside the U.S.
"Golf Digest is a world-class brand that has become the 'go-to' authority for millions of golf enthusiasts, professional players and global advertisers," said David Zaslav, president and CEO of Discovery, Inc., in a statement. "It's a natural strategic fit with Discovery's goal to be the leading golf media platform in the world."
Discovery also touted its access to top athletes like Tiger Woods and Francesco Molinari as ways to expand its partnerships and content for consumers. Discovery and the PGA Tour are also launching a new content and sales partnership.
Jerry Tarde will continue as Golf Digest's editor in chief and is taking on the title of global head of strategy and content of Discovery Golf. Tarde will report to Alex Kaplan, president and general manager, Discovery Golf.
"Golf Digest has this amazing team of editors, reporters, producers, photographers and contributors—all dedicated to helping golfers improve and be smarter consumers of the game we love," Tarde said in a statement. "Discovery's vision to create one global destination for everything a golf fan could want is perfectly aligned with what Golf Digest does every day."
Condé Nast executives announced last summer that they were exploring the sale of three magazine titles, including Golf Digest, Brides and W. At the time, Golf Digest's circulation remained flat at 1.6 million, higher than competitor Golf Magazine, which had a circulation of 1.4 million, though it saw an increase in video views from 2017 to 2018.
Sports media is experiencing a challenging time. Meredith has been unable to secure a buyer for Sports Illustrated, and ESPN The Magazine just announced it would be shuttering its print product.

The latest amenity in apartment living has a fur coat and a wet nose.
Daisy, an 8-year-old Newfoundland, is the "house dog" at Next, a 310-unit apartment building in Chicago's River North neighborhood that opened in September. Rents range from $1,775 per month for a studio to $6,500 per month for a 1,600-square-foot penthouse.
Daisy belongs to Next developers Randy and Steve Fifield of Fifield Companies, who thought she would be perfect for apartment dwellers.
More:In New L.A. Tower, Renters Can Run Errands in a Bentley, Relax in Their Own Private Park
"People who would love a dog but can't afford one or don't have the time can have a comforting animal to give tickles and kisses to," says Randy Fifield, chairwoman of Fifield Realty Corp.
Daisy has a dog bed in the lobby and a caretaker who feeds and walks her. At night, she retires to the Fifields' daughter's apartment, located in the building.
Julianne Sampson moved into Next in November with her two daughters, Vivian, 9, and Olivia, 11. Daisy was a selling point for both mom and daughters, said Ms. Sampson, who is an oncology nurse in pharmaceutical sales for Incyte Corp.
"My girls start off every day with Daisy on the way to school," Ms. Sampson said. "After school, we purposely stop in the lobby to see Daisy. The doorman and building staff will give us treats to share with Daisy."
More:In These Luxury Residential Towers, Adults and Kids Get into the Swim — Separately
A house dog is just one of the canine amenities at Next that encourage owners to meet and connect. The building has offered "doga" classes, where pet owners do yoga with their pups, and a "Howl-o-ween" party in October. The day before the building's pool closed for the season, dogs were allowed to jump in for a swim.
Fun aside, Daisy is also put to work. When potential renters visit the building, Ms. Fifield said, "she'll go up on apartment tours" if they'd like.

Lala Kent's Movie Premiere Photos Show The 'Vanderpump Rules' Stars Going FULL Hollywood
The Sexy Unique Scream Queen has arrived. On Wednesday, July 25, several members of the Vanderpump Rules cast attended the premiere of Lala Kent's movie The Row. We know this because there are lots of endearing videos and photos of the Vanderpump Rules stars at Lala's movie premiere on Instagram. Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, Katie Maloney, Brittany Cartwright, Ariana Madix, Scheana Marie, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwartz all showed up to The Row's maiden voyage in support of their friend and colleague. And thanks to the Instagram Stories that Lala and her Pump Rules co-stars posted before and after they watched the horror flick, it was almost like we were right there in that Los Angeles theater with them.
In The Row, Lala plays a college freshman who decides to join a sorority. However, before she can get settled, a serial killer targets her sorority house. The serial killer, as the trailer reveals, turns their victims into dolls. Oh, and a dating app may or may not play some sort of role in the murders? Lala's character channels her inner Clarice Starling/Harry Callahan/Columbo and attempts to get to the bottom of this grisly mystery.
Are you raring to see the Pumper's upcoming film? Is the wait almost getting to be too much to bear? Well, there is no need break into an impatient sweat, Lala stans, because the movie really is almost here. The Row will grab some paddles and row into select theaters and OnDemand on July 27. Until then, here are some Pump-tastic IG posts to tide you over.
Here Is Lala Getting Ready For Her Big Night
Lala? More like La-legend.
Here Are The Vander-Ladies Descending Upon The Theater
Wow. What a Sexy Unique Coterie. We are not worthy.
Here Is Lala Standing In Front Of The Movie Poster
Now what exactly does "deny them Schwartz" entail? Something along the lines of bathing in a river the morning of your wedding, perhaps?
Here Are The Vander-Ladies Posing Next To The Movie Poster
If a Vanderpump fan were to, say, put this image on a sheet cake when their next birthday rolls around, would that be a Sexy Unique Bridge Too Far?
Here Is Lala Dancing It Out After The Movie
As one does.
Here Is Lala Giving Her Acceptance Speech For Her "Oscar"
May we all be so lucky to see her give a similar speech at the real Oscars one day.
And Jax Taylor Took His & Brittany's Dogs For A Walk... ?
Wait a second. Are we to conclude he did not attend his co-star's premiere? That's... odd. Fellow Pumper James Kennedy's apparent absence makes sense (ugh, what a devastating friendship breakup it's been), but Jax? Wonder what happened there. Hm hm hm. Oh, if only there was a reality show that revolved around this particular group of friends.
Lala's career truly is on a roll this year. Her single "Boy" reached number one on the iTunes Electronic chart in May. She filmed some scenes for a movie called The Vault. Her beauty line, Give Them Lala, keeps on growing. She attended Cannes. She is one of the stars of a hit reality series that was nominated for an MTV Movie & TV Award. And her slasher flick will be out tomorrow.
Raise your bubbas high. Lala is giving 2018 so much Lala.

In blackjack and particularly progressive blackjack, a betting system is a strategy in which player decides how much to bet depending on whether he/she has just won or just lost the previous blackjack hand.
The most blackjack betting systems can usually be categorized as "positive" or "negative." The positive systems are the ones in which the player raises his bet after a winning hand, and the negative systems are the ones in which the player raises his bet after losing.
In the world of negative progressive betting systems, the "Martingale" is considered to be the Big Daddy of them all. The D'Alembert betting system is a simple system, which is based on the tenets of the Martingale with a few minor changes. When you use the D'Alembert strategy for playing blackjack, you will raise your bet one unit after each losing hand and you will lower your bet amount by one unit after you win a hand.
The D'Alembert betting system is named after Jean le Rond D'Alembert, an 18th-century French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. One of D'Alembert's theories was based on the Law of Equilibrium, which claims a long-term balance of successes and failures over the course of a series of events. Therefore, according to this great theory, you have a higher probability of a win after losing, and a higher probability of a loss after winning.
But the key word here is long-term. In online casino gambling, there is no longevity: all wins and losses cover a much shorter span of time. D'Alembert's theory does not really apply to the gambling tables also because, in fact, every hand is random or, in other words, "deck has no memory". But that's all for the long run.
In the short run, D'Alembert strategy has become a very popular betting system, also known as the "Pyramid System." It's used most often and famously in baccarat and roulette, but it is also widely used as a blackjack progressive betting system. There is also a Contra-D'Alembert system, which is the positive version of the classic D'Alembert.
The D'Alembert in Blackjack
The D'Alembert betting system in blackjack requires players to raise their bets by one unit after each loss, while lowering their bets by the same one unit after each win. As mentioned above, the D'Alembert gambling system was originally designed for the roulette table and simple "red"/"black" bets, since it's a risky betting system and roulette is a game of chance. As with any progressive betting system, one must proceed with caution when using the D'Alembert. Nevertheless, it's considered a lot less dangerous than the Martingale system, where you double your bets instead of always raising them by one unit. The best aspect of the D'Alembert system is that it's easy to follow and understand, and bet size limits do not have such serious impact as you may face using Martingale system in real casinos.
As an example of how the D'Alembert system does work, let's say you're at the blackjack table and there's a $2 minimum, which is considered one "unit". You start off by betting $2. If you lose, your second bet would be $4 or 2 units. If you win, your next bet would be $2 (back to the original 1-unit bet) but if you lose your next bet would be $6. If you win after that, you then bet $4. You only go down one "unit," not to the original bet. All wins or losses are rewarded or punished by a one-unit decrease or increase, respectively.
In conclusion we would say that no systems will give you the edge over the house on the long run, but with a certain system you can reach your tactic goals in the current session. We will review other popular systems soon: The Parlay, Oscar's Grind and the Paroli.

Isa sa mga ginagawa namin together mag-asawa ay ang paglalaba. Sa totoo lang mas magaling maglaba sa akin ang asawa ko. Mas metikuloso kasi siya saka gusto niya talagang sure siya sa linis at bango ng mga labahin namin.
Kaya naman ang swerte ko kasi ang hirap talaga maglaba diba? At isa pang gusto ko kapag naglalaba kami ay yung bonding moments namin. Nakakapagkwentuhan din kami habang naglalaba. At paminsan minsan nakakapagshare din siya ng mga tips nya sa paglalaba. Kaya naisip kong ishare din ito sainyo:
1. Maglaba in batches. All uniforms, underwear, shorts, and pants together. For a family of three, living in a small space, we need to make wash in batches due to our limited space. We stick to a schedule of laundry so as not to pile them up into overwhelming size.
2. Use a container to put the detergent in. With this, he is able to measure the amount of powder he uses in a batch of laundry. It's funny how he gets excited with just uses a small amount in our laundry but it still cleans perfectly.
3. Maximize the sunlight. My husband loves to do the laundry and dry it up in our veranda. He likes it when the sun is up when he does the laundry because he gets it faster to dry.
4. My husband swears by Ariel detergent powder. Ever since he got to try Ariel on our clothes, he doesn't use any other product anymore. For him, Ariel is the only detergent that keeps our clothes looking new, fresh, and clean with or without drying it in the sun.
Nakakatuwa na yung simpleng gawaing bahay nagiging bonding moment pa rin pra sa aming mag-asawa. Minsan din kasi mahirap humanap ng oras para magkwentuhan kaya looking forward din ako pag naglalaba kami. Mas nakikilala ko din ang aking asawa at natututo ako sakanya. Basta daw ang request nya lang ay Ariel ang gagamitin namin
and as a "tipid" mom, it's another perk for me.
Ariel is a "sulit" choice for us and a top option for value because of its superior cleaning in just 1 wash. We get both the quality and value for our laundry care.
He swears by Ariel as it effectively removes tough stains in Enzo's white uniform like chocolate drinks, chocolate candies, ballpen inks, and pencil marks. Even with our bedsheets and pillow covers, he uses Ariel detergent because of its smell and fresh look after wash. We don't even use so much powder in our laundry because with just a small amount it is able to do the job excellently. It is also so easy to use for handwash or machine wash. Just dissolve one scoop for normal load, approximately 20 to 25 clothing and soak for at least 30 minutes and then wash as usual. Ang daming nalalabhan with just a few scoops of Ariel powder.
So, for other moms out there, try Ariel Detergent Powder, super sulit and effective in removing tough stains in our clothes. At dahil tipid living tayo, dapat dun tayo sa mabilis magtanggal ng stains in just one wash, walang amoy kulob, at sulit sa budget. Mas masaya gawin ang paglalaba kapag kasama ang asawa at syempre ang Ariel.

On the off chance that there are still individuals who don't think about the simplest method to make Healthy Pineapple Banana Icecream this late spring, here is the formula!
Frozen yogurt is my outright most loved thing to eat in summer (and winter). I sued to eat sugar and dairy over-burden locally acquired Icecreams however no that I realize how to make my very own velvety, sweet, solid and dairy and refined without sugar "Nicecream", I can appreciate it consistently! Also, as a mystery tip I encourage you to attempt it with these very simple vegetarian chocolate chip treats with no refined sugar!
So all you need is a decent blender and the rest is history. It is likewise a touch of humiliating to record the formula since it is only 3 fixings and overly simple to make. It's actually simply solidified bananas, solidified pineapple pieces, and a little maple syrup.
Also try our recipe : VEGAN & GRAIN-FREE PUMPKIN PIE CUPS #cake #vegan
Ingredients :
- 2 big frozen bananas
- Chunks of one pineapple, frozen
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (if the ripe sweet bananas are enough sweet for you, you can leave out the syrup!)
- Optional: 1 tsp turmeric (for the extra kick!)
Instructions :
- Put all the ingredients in your blender until creamy and nice
- Serve and eat right away!

Crx broadly modulates the pineal transcriptome
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Cone-rod homeobox (Crx) encodes Crx, a transcription factor expressed selectively in retinal photoreceptors and pinealocytes, the major cell type of the pineal gland. In this study, the influence of Crx on the mammalian pineal gland was studied by light and electron microscopy and by use of microarray and qRTPCR technology, thereby extending previous studies on selected genes (Furukawa et al. 1999). Deletion of Crx was not found to alter pineal morphology, but was found to broadly modulate the mouse pineal transcriptome, characterized by a > 2-fold down-regulation of 543 genes and a > 2-fold up-regulation of 745 genes (p < 0.05). Of these, one of the most highly up-regulated (18-fold) was Hoxc4, a member of the Hox gene family, members of which are known to control gene expression cascades. During a 24-h period, a set of 51 genes exhibited differential day/night expression in pineal glands of wild-type animals; only eight of these were also day/night expressed in the Crx-/- pineal gland. However, in the Crx-/- pineal gland 41 genes exhibited differential night/day expression that was not seen in wild-type animals. These findings indicate that Crx broadly modulates the pineal transcriptome and also influences differential night/day gene expression in this tissue. Some effects of Crx deletion on the pineal transcriptome might be mediated by Hoxc4 up-regulation.

Neone is a new kind of social network that enables you to safely and privately share your life with the people you trust. We do this by letting you control your part of the network.
With each Neone subscription we create a unique and secure server hub. We call these server hubs Neobases, and each one includes additional guest accounts so friends, family, or colleagues can participate without a separate subscription.
It's pronounced "nee – oh – nee"
Neone was founded with the goal of giving people the power to share with their friends and community without giving up their privacy. Every business and design decision from the beginning has always been focused on keeping our privacy promise.
Neone doesn't see, track, or data mine what you choose to share. Your Neobase is encrypted from the moment it is set up, and everything you share is encrypted point to point over the internet.
Neone gives people the social network experience they want, but without intrusive advertising or data mining. And, since Neone users are hosted on separate Neobases their data is protected from mass data hacks. An attacker would have to breach each user individually.
The Neone app is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, and each subscription comes with additional Neone Guest accounts. Just download and launch the Neone app and it will help you choose a subscription. Subscriptions are processed and handled through the store your account was originally create through.
No, your Neone subscription comes with additional Neone Guest accounts that are hosted on your secure Neobase. During set up will you be prompted to send a guest invitation to anyone who you want to share a Neone account.
All Neone accounts have their own separate social feed, and can connect with anyone with a Neone account. But guests do have some limitations that subscribers do not. Guests may make X number of connections, and are limited in the size and number of files they share .
You can upgrade (include link to upgrade page here) to a plan that allows for more guests, or you can convince some of your guests to upgrade (link again) their accounts to a paid subscription thus freeing up more guest slots on your account.
As one of our primary concerns here at Neone is your privacy, we are very cautious as to how we expose our users to the network. Currently our engineers are working on a solution to make the discovery of other Neone users easy while securing the privacy of those users. For now follow one of the methods below…
To connect with a known Neone account holder (subscriber or guest) go to the Connections screen in Neone (select the bottom right icon that looks like a group of people.) At the top right corner of the screen select the Add button. Follow the instructions to send an invite to that user via email or your contacts.
You can also invite users by accessing their profile. If another connection of yours includes you in a post with others you are not yet connected with, simply click on their avatar which will take you to their profile. Click on the Connect button on their profile and follow the on-screen instructions.
Simply click on your avatar in the Neone app to bring up your account information. At the bottom you'll see an option for upgrading your Guest account. Select that option and follow the on-screen instructions to pick the plan that best fits your needs.
Contact support (see above) and ask to speak to a support agent. One of our agents will contact you and help you create a custom plan to suite your needs.
Find your Recovery document or create one by going to your Account in the Neone app and selecting Neone Hub. Select Utilities and then select Generate Recovery Document.
Install Neone on your new device. Upon first launching the newly installed app, you will be prompted to select a method for onboarding. Select the Advanced option and follow the on-screen instructions for onboarding via your Recovery Document.
- Use this form or email firstname.lastname@example.com
- While in the Neone app, shake the phone and follow the on-screen instructions for reporting a bug, suggesting an improvement, or asking a question.
- In the Neone app, select your avatar in the upper right corner to access your account information. Select Neone Hub and then select Support at the bottom of the screen. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Sure, we can make that happen. Use the contact form or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com asking to speak with a support agent. Please include your phone number, a time frame to call back, and a brief description of your issue. We will do our best to handle your support case swiftly.
We encrypt via SSH and are using 256MB standard encryption.
Neone was founded by Dave Glassco, an Austin-based serial entrepreneur and musician who is passionate about consumer privacy. Dave started Neone because he wanted a secure and private way to share information with friends, family, and business associates, but couldn't find a home router that would allow him to share files without them passing over a third-party server. He started Neone to give regular people an easy way to privately share content. Today, the company has a growing team of hardware, software, and privacy experts with deep experience creating and growing companies in Silicon Valley.
Neone has raised approximately $7 million in funding from private investors.
We are based in Austin and San Francisco.
The current Neone team is about 20 people.

Harris, Carolyn M.
Harris, Carolyn M.
January 3, 1926 — April 23, 2019
Carolyn Harris was born January 3, 1926 in St Paul, MN to James and Catherine Korbel. She passed peacefully April 23 at the age of 93. Carolyn received her nursing degree from University of Minnesota. As a nurse at the VA Hospital in Kansas City, she met a patient Bob Harris, and it was love at first sight. They married 3 months later, June 13, 1954. Dad proceeded her on January 24, 2004. Carolyn was a devout Catholic and was an active parishioner during her many years at St Bernadette's and Coronation parishes. Mom was a past President of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) and received recognition from Bishop Boland for her service.

Professionally, she was a nurse at several local hospitals, Community Blood Bank, Nutri-Systems and later transitioned to taking on Dad's New York Life insurance business. She was an active leader and supporter of American Association of University Women (AAUW).

Mom and Dad liked to entertain, dance (they were involved in many dance clubs, including Suburbanaires and TLC) or spend time quiet time at Powell Gardens.
Mom lived her life to the fullest and enjoyed giving back with her time and resources to groups that helped others. Over the past 7 years, she became frustrated with dementia as it stripped her of her independence. She will be greatly missed, and we will all remember her for her smile, strength, charitable giving and strong Catholic faith. She is survived by her 3 children (all of Kansas City): Rob and Luce Harris; Joe and Cecilia Harris, Tina Childers; and 6 grandchildren: Matthew Harris (Chicago), Sara Chiodo (husband Joe), Katie Harris, Fletcher Childers, Caroline Childers and Joseph Harris; her sister Orinne Sullivan (Dallas) and many nieces and nephews.

The pursuit of variety in the kitchen continues, and to be honest my success was mixed: Two hits and a miss. I'll still take that as a win, though.
Let's start with the miss. This really came down to choosing the wrong ingredient when ad libing a recipe. I made overnight oats and the recipe called for buckwheat. I didn't have any, so substituted with Psyllium Husk, which is a good source of fibre. Unfortunately, it also acts like a sponge when it gets anywhere near liquid. So my lovely jar of oats, coconut and sunflower seeds resembled a really thick jelly by the time I got it out of the fridge yesterday morning. I hate wasting food, so I added a lot of almond milk and blitzed it in the blender. I topped it with lactose-free yoghurt and served it wtih fresh blueberries and raspeberries.
It wasn't particularly visually appealing, but it tasted just fine. However, I won't be repeating that again.
Onto more successful pursuits, I made a delicious poke bowl with marinated tofu and roasted vegetables for lunch. I used firm tofu which I pressed for about half an hour, which removes the excess moisture. I used to do this by placing the tofu between sheets of kitchen towel. However, that's not great for the planet so yesterday I some clean re-usable cloth wipes which were actually better than kitchen paper. While the tofu was being pressed, I made a simple marinade: Garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. Next time I'll add some chili. Once the tofu was pressed, I put it in a container with the marinade for about an hour.
Then I roasted some butternut pumpkin and courgette. I grated a carrot and sliced half a cucumber. I added the tofu to the vegetables for the last 20 mintues in the oven. To serve, I put half a cup of brown rice in a bowl, added the tofu, roast veg, carrot, cucumber, pickled ginger, kimchi and topped it with sesame seeds. Delicious.
For dinner, I dived into the freezer for some vegan bolognaise (recipe below). I topped it with mashed sweet potato and warmed it in the oven for a delicious began shepherd's pie.
Vegan bolognaise
Note: all quantities are approximate, and I think you could add pretty much any vegetable to this.
- 2 carrots
- 1 courgette
- 1 red onion
- 300g mushrooms
- 4 garlic cloves
- 100g dried red lentils
- 1 can green lentils
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 500ml veg stock
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
Using a food processor, blitz the carrots, onion and courgette. Heat some olive oil and add the vegetable mixture. Cook on a medium heat for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, blitz the mushrooms and garlic. Add to the saucepan with the red lentils and stir for another 5 minutes. Then add tinned lentils, herbs and season to taste. Add tomato puree, canned tomatoes and half a cup of water. Mix well.
Add stock and the bay leaf and bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down and simmer for about 45 minutes or until red lentils are soft.

Cancer Survivors May Face Discrimination From Potential Employers
Cancer survivors who disclose their health history when applying for a retail job are less likely to receive callbacks from potential employers than those who do not disclose their health history, according to a new study by Rice University and Pennsylvania State University researchers.
The study focused on retail employers and compared two groups of job applicants: those who'd never had cancer and those who indicated on their resumes they were cancer survivors and wore a hat that read "cancer survivor" when applying for a job.
Applicants who were open about their cancer history received fewer callbacks from managers than those who did not disclose a history of cancer. Overall, only 21 percent of the cancer survivors received callbacks, while nearly 37 percent of the non-cancer applicants received callbacks, a statistically significant difference, according to the researchers.
"This is especially problematic as people with chronic and past illnesses are protected from discrimination by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and our findings indicate that cancer survivors do tend to disclose their cancer histories with interviewers at relatively high rates," said lead researcher Larry Martinez, assistant professor of hospitality management at Pennsylvania State.
Martinez, who earned his undergraduate degree, master's degree and Ph.D. at Rice University under the guidance of co-author Mikki Hebl, professor of psychology and management, began the research for this study as part of his graduate work.
"Basically, people are more likely to discriminate in very subtle interpersonal ways. There's less eye contact. There are shorter interaction times when speaking with managers. There are more negative interpersonal behaviors from managers, like frowning, brow furrowing, and less smiling — fewer cues that communicate to applicants that they are interested in hiring them for the job," said Martinez.
While researchers note that no hiring laws were broken, they found evidence of discrimination. "Despite the fact that cancer survivors are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, we did see this difference in callbacks between them and the general public, as well as the negative interpersonal treatment they received," Martinez said.
The research also involved an online survey with 87 participants who were employed full time, most of whom had management experience or experience as an interviewer. Participants were asked to provide their opinions regarding how people feel about cancer survivors in the workplace. The findings showed that workers with a history of cancer were rated higher in "warmth" than in competency.
Researchers note that while diversity efforts have generally increased over the last decade, health characteristics are often not included in diversity programs.
"Managers and employees should be mindful of the fact that although societal attitudes toward cancer survivors are generally quite positive, with people often viewing them as champions who have successfully overcome a traumatic experience, we nonetheless might perceive them as being less desirable employees simply because of their history with cancer," Martinez said.
Next steps in this area could include training managers to be mindful of subtle biases they might have toward people with past and chronic health conditions, according to Martinez and Hebl.
"We could train applicants who might be prone to experiencing discrimination how to present themselves in interviews in ways to reduce possible negativity they might experience," Martinez said.
The findings are published in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
