The 11-11 Pledge is a nationwide effort to inspire a renewed spirit toward the true meaning of Veterans Day, 11-11, and to honor and appreciate our veterans in a meaningful and memorable way like never before, from classrooms to corporations to communities.
Building Homes for Heroes began the 11-11 Pledge in 2018 to unite our country behind our heroes on our nation's only holiday devoted to our veterans. All it takes is $11 to make a difference in the lives of wounded veterans and their families. In honor of Veterans Day, the organization will gift 11 homes in 11 weeks for the second straight year across the country. Of these homes, nine are Purple Heart recipients and two have received the Silver Star. It's an accomplishment that the organization plans to do again next year and every year.
"The goal of the 11-11 Pledge is to generate a renewed enthusiasm and revival across the country of the true meaning and spirit of Veterans Day, so children and students in elementary school, middle school, high schools and universities, and all Americans from sea to shining sea will be unified under a sense of patriotism and compassion for all," said Building Homes for Heroes Founder Andy Pujol. "What more beautiful way to honor all the heroic men and women who have sacrificed so much for our great country?"

AMERICAN HEROES: President Trump Signs Executive Order Forgiving Student Debt for Disabled Veterans
President Trump signed an Executive Order Thursday cancelling student debt for permanently disabled veterans; effectively forgiving loans for more than 25,000 Americans.
"The order, which Trump signed following a speech at the American Veterans National Convention in Louisville, Ky., also clears those eligible veterans from having to pay any federal income tax on the loans. Trump added that he is pressuring individual states to follow suit," reports Fox News.
"The debt of these disabled veterans will be completely erased," Trump said. "That's hundreds of millions of dollars of student loans debt for our disabled veterans that will be completely erased."
It was my honor to sign a Presidential Memorandum facilitating the cancellation of student loan debt for 25K of our most severely disabled Veterans. With today's order, we express the everlasting love & loyalty of a truly grateful Nation. God bless our Vets, & God Bless America! pic.twitter.com/MMMsX3RDQM

"It was my honor to sign a Presidential Memorandum facilitating the cancellation of student loan debt for 25K of our most severely disabled Veterans. With today's order, we express the everlasting love & loyalty of a truly grateful Nation. God bless our Vets, & God Bless America!" Trump tweeted.
"Trump's announcement comes days after the administration hired a longtime student loan industry executive to be the federal government's top watchdog for the student loan market. Robert Cameron will serve as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new student loan ombudsman, the bureau said Friday," adds Fox.

Nine Line Apparel Honored our Heroes in a VERY Cool Way
A group of our nation's veterans decided to honor their fallen brothers and sisters in a very American way over Memorial Day Weekend.
Veteran-owned, Nine Line Apparel teamed up with 11 other companies—including Black Rifle Coffee Company—to sponsor Jeffrey Earnhardt's car in the Coca Cola 600 in North Carolina. The names of 617 fallen service members were emblazoned on the hood of Earnhardt's car.
In the lead-up to the race, Nine Line Apparel sold a t-shirt to benefit the non-profit, Angels of America's Fallen, which provides support to children of fallen military members and first responders. With each purchase of a t-shirt, customers were encouraged to submit a name of a fallen service member to be included on the hood of Earnhardt's car.
On Sunday, Earnhardt and retired Army captain and CEO of Nine Line, Tyler Merritt, presented Angels of America's Fallen with a check for $ 15,000.
Angels of America's Fallen CEO, Joe Lewis told Fox News, "It brings awareness to the fact that there are thousands of children of our fallen that are out there trying to go through their childhood, the most crucial…years without the support or guidance of their parent. It's really important that as a nation we help those children mitigate the risks they face of increased anxiety, depressions, substance abuse, dropping out of school and even suicide."


text: Millions of dollars in aid money that the international community pledged to get Syrian refugee children into school did not reach the children, arrived late or could not be traced because of poor reporting practices. That is the conclusion of a new report by Human Rights Watch which tracked the $1.4 billion pledged by the international community last year for education of Syrian refugee children.Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan are hosting the largest number of Syrian refugees. At least a million of the refugees are children, and many have not been in school for several years. At the conference in London last year, these countries pledged to enroll all Syrian refugee children in "quality education" by the end of the last school year.But as a new school year gets underway, an estimated 513,000 refugee children are not in school, and it is not clear what went wrong. "We didn't find any evidence of corruption although there may have been some somewhere," Simon Rau, the Mercator Fellow, Children's Rights for Human Rights Watch told The Media Line. "The problem is the gap of transparency. It's really hard to track that money."Rau was one of the authors of a new report by Human Rights Watch entitled "Prevent A Lost Generation of Syrian Children."There is a "lack of information about the projects donors are funding, and their timetables," the report said. "Public fund-tracking reports, databases, and other mechanisms often lack enough information to assess whether the projects being funded addressed the key obstacles to education for Syrian children."When financial aid did arrive, it often came too late, after the school year had already begun, Rau said. The situation is different in each country. In Turkey, for example, refugee families have to obtain special cards before enrolling their children in school. Many refugees are having difficulties getting these cards as they fled the fighting in Syria without some of the documents they need.In Lebanon, which is hosting more than a million Syrian refugees, the situation is a little different. The Lebanese government has pledged that all children can enroll in public schools, straining the school system at times.Because of the increase in enrollment, there are two shifts of school per day. That means that some children will be coming home from school well after dark."The teachers are exhausted from teaching two shifts," Suha Tutunji, the Director of Education for the NGO Jusoor in Lebanon told The Media Line. "Many of the schools are quite a distance away, and parents don't feel its safe for their children, especially girls, to walk."While school is free, she said, transportation is not covered and costs up to $20 per child per month, still a high sum for refugee families. There is some antagonism toward the refugees, she said, who are seen as taking jobs from local Lebanese. In some cases, teachers have made anti-refugee remarks in class.In addition, she said, some Syrian parents choose not to send their children to school."A lot of the parents who live in refugee camps, whether in Syria or Lebanon, do not send their children to school after age 12 or 13, but send them to work," Tutunji said. "Girls help their mothers and eventually get married."Another problem is that the primary language of instruction in public schools in Lebanon is either English or French, while most Syrian children speak and understand only Arabic. Until this year, Syrian children were enrolled in the afternoon session, where classes were taught in Arabic until fourth grade. That meant that Syrian refugee children were kept separate from Lebanese children. Starting this year, Syrian children will also start to learn in English or French in first grade. She said that even though there has been an information campaign that public school is free, many parents still believe they have to pay.An estimated 300,000 Syrian refugee children in Lebanon are still not in school."We are going to have a lost generation," she said. "When the fighting ends, Syria is going to need doctors, teachers, engineers, scientists and physiotherapists. Who will do that if these children don't go to school?"

Baylor coach Philip Johnson catches photos of the moment a snake strikes his hand 2015 Best of Preps
Philip Henry Johnson, the boys tennis coach at Baylor School in Chattanooga, was arrested Thursday afternoon after buying $200 worth of methamphetamine in Whitfield County, Ga., according to a news release.
During a recent investigation, the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office received information that a Baylor coach frequently traveled to that county to purchase meth, according to the release from Sheriff Scott Chitwood.
Investigators determined that the man was planning to make another purchase of the meth on Thursday, and officers set up surveillance around Interstate 75 at the Tunnel Hill exit. At about 2:30 p.m. the suspect met with a cooperating source at a nearby store to purchase meth from him for $200, the news release states. The source's vehicle was equipped with recording devices, and the transaction was recorded.
Johnson, 51, then left the store parking lot and was stopped by officers as he was getting back onto the interstate. Authorities said the plastic bag containing the chemical substance sold to Johnson was recovered in an empty can in his vehicle.
The suspect also had a firearm in his possession, according to authorities.
Johnson, a resident of Ooltewah, was charged with attempt or conspiracy to violate the Georgia Controlled Substance Act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and use of communication facilities during drug transactions.
He is being held without bond in the Whitfield County Jail, and the investigation is continuing, the sheriff said.
Barbara Kennedy, director of external affairs at Baylor, confirmed in a statement today that Johnson had coached at the school since 2003, but said no further comment would be made on the "personnel matter."

As forecasters warn of a dangerous winter storm threatening the Midwest, South and Northeast, business and property owners need to implement a Winter Hazard Program now to help reduce injury, damage, and roof collapse.
Winter storms have already shown that snow accumulation can wreak havoc on businesses and their related properties. Business owners can take effective actions to help minimize their exposure to the threats of winter weather by implementing a Winter Hazard Control program.
The guidelines below can help businesses prepare for tomorrow's storm:
Ground Snow Removal
- Verify that snow removal personnel are not pushing snow up against roof drain outlets. Snow should be cleared from around the outlets so that water can easily escape.
- Verify that your fire protection equipment, hydrants, control valves, and your fire pump room remain accessible. Snow should be removed from around this equipment, which may require some hand shoveling.
- All doorways should be accessible and snow removed to allow egress. This is especially important for emergency exits.
Roof Snow Removal
· Roof drains should be inspected to ensure that they are clear of snow and ice. An area around each drain should be cleared to allow water to reach the drain. Remember, your roof covering can be easily damaged, so plastic shovels should be utilized. The use of calcium chloride is an effective way of keeping ice from accumulating in your drains.
· In the event you need to remove snow from the roof, we recommend that you solicit the services of a qualified roofing contractor and ensure that all OSHA guidelines are strictly followed.
High Winds
· Check the roof for loose flashing. If the flashing is found to be loose, it should be secured with #8 (minimum) corrosion resistant screws long enough to adequately engage the wood nailer. The screw should have a large pan head or a washer should be used.
· Check for loose roof top equipment. Rooftop equipment may also include satellite dishes, electrical conduit, lightning protection, and piping systems. Secure or remove any equipment that is loose and may be dislodged in high winds.
· Remove any debris from the roof
· Remove any ground level trash, debris, seasonal equipment, or other items that can become projectiles in high winds.
· Continue to monitor the exterior of the building to ensure no glass gets broken. Broken glass can lead to localized freezing of water based systems. Any damage to the building envelope should be temporarily sealed until more permanent repairs can be made.
Power Outage
- Make sure emergency power equipment is operational and that fuel tanks are full.
- Any small portable generators you rely on should be tested and fuel tanks should be full. These should only be used in a safe, well ventilated area.
- If your building heat is lost due to a power failure, building temperatures should be monitored. If temperatures fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, safeguards should be taken to protect water based systems against freezing.
This bulletin is intended only as a reminder and is offered solely as a guide to assist management in its responsibility of providing a safer working environment. This bulletin is not intended to cover all possible hazardous conditions or unsafe acts that may exist. Other unsafe acts or hazardous conditions should also be noted and corrective action taken.

A Farewell to Arms – Ernest Hemingway
I know, I know – everyone read this book back in either high school or college, at least anyone of my age. I actually wasn't sure whether I had ever read it before or not, but as I got into it I knew I had not.
This is a combination war story/love story and I'm not sure which is the stronger part. I think, perhaps, the war story part because it is something that I have never experienced personally, while the love story part was more familiar, though not the circumstances. I was about half way through the book in the war story section when I finally got to the point where I didn't want to put the book down.
You knew from almost the beginning of the book that things were not going to end well. You kept reading wondering where things were going to fall apart, expecting the worst, but being surprised when it didn't happen. Indeed – spoiler alert, if you need one – the worst event in the book doesn't happen until the very end and by that time was so expected that it came as no surprise.
This book served as my diversion during my wife's recent surgery. I was glad that I had it with me and that it held my attention as well as it did. I would recommend it as part of your Hemingway library.

Petzval attended elementary school in Kežmarok, and began his secondary school studies in Kežmarok and Pudlein. On October 1, 1819, he returned to his family in Leutschau, and entered high school. Both in elementary school and high school he ranked among the best in his class in the subjects of Latin (the official language of the Kingdom of Hungary) and religion; however, he struggled with his Hungarian. Before arriving at Leutschau, he was, interestingly enough, also very weak in mathematics. In Leutschau, however, he clearly improved in this discipline.
One anecdote told about Petzval is as follows: When his family had already decided to make a shoemaker out of Petzval, he read the book Analytic Paper on the Elements of Mathematics by the German mathematician Hauser over the summer holidays, just after completing his fourth class in elementary school. He was preparing to undergo a repeat class in mathematics. After Petzval finished the book, the child who had been a weak math pupil swiftly became a math genius.
After finishing high school, Petzval decided to move to the Institutum Geometricum, the engineering faculty of the Pester University. Before that, he had to complete a two-year Lyceum, which he attended from 1823 to 1825 in Kaschau. When he arrived at Košice in 1823, Petzval was already well-versed in the subjects of Latin, mathematical analysis, classical literature and stylistics. In addition to his Slovak he was able to speak perfectly in Czech, German and Hungarian. With his father's assistance, he also learned French and English.
After completing the Lyceum, Petzval worked for a year as an educator for Count Almássy in the Heves county. In addition to bringing in some urgently needed money, this experience also provided him with important social contacts.
From 1826 to 1828, Petzval studied at the Institutum Geometricum in Prague, and earned an engineering diploma in 1828. In the same year, he joined the graduate degree program of the university, and became the self-appointed adjunct chair for the Physics Department (in 1831). From 1828 to 1835, Petzval simultaneously worked as an urban engineer for the city of Prague—-particularly as a specialist in flood abatement and sewers—-and studied mathematics, mechanics and practical geometry. He authored an unrealized plan to build a navigation channel around Prague. In 1830, his dam computations saved Prague from an inundation caused by the flooding of the Vltava. After he received his Ph.D. in 1832, he taught as an associate professor at the university in Budapest. During this period, he also received a degree in mathematics. In 1835, he was appointed a university professor in higher mathematics.
After being invited to the University of Vienna in 1836, Petzval accepted a position of the chair of mathematics there in 1837, and worked until 1877 as a professor of mathematics. Apart from mathematics, he was also concerned with mechanics, ballistics, optics, and acoustics. His lectures on the theory of algebraic equations, which integrated linear and differential equations with constant and variable coefficients, ballistics, acoustic theory, and other areas were high quality and became well attended.
Petzval moved into a rented abandoned monastery at Kahlenberg mountain (according to some sources after 1859). He founded his own glass-sharpening workshop there. His lenses became world famous because Petzval was also a skillful lens sharpener and precision mechanic.
In 1840, he discovered his famous portrait lens. 1845 brought disputes with the entrepreneur Peter Wilhelm Friedrich von Voigtländer (1812–1878) over who had the right to produce Petzval's lenses. In 1859, Petzval's home was broken into, and his manuscripts — a result of many years of research — were destroyed. Petzval never managed to reconstruct the lost documents. His most refined technical book on optics, lost with his manuscripts, would never appear in print. From then on, he primarily concerned himself with acoustics and began to withdraw from society. His enterprise with Carl Dietzler failed in 1862 (see further below); Dietzler died in 1872.
In 1869, at the age of 62, Petzval married his housekeeper, but she died four years later. In 1877, he stopped lecturing, withdrew to a monastery on Kahlenberg, and became a hermit.
Petzval died in Vienna in 1891, nearly forgotten, embittered, and destitute. His grave is in the Viennese central cemetery. His bitterness at the end of his life can probably be traced, on the one hand, to his continuing controversy with Voigtländer, the loss of his manuscripts, and his business failure; and on the other hand, to the fact that he was never really acknowledged for his lifelong work in the field of optics. Just before his death, Petzval was reported to have said:
- "I defeated the light, I have it firmly in hand, because there is much darkness in the world too."

With around 2 billion monthly users worldwide, YouTube is actually the world's second-most-popular social network. The only social network that has more monthly active users than YouTube is Facebook.
Across the world, YouTube has made celebrities, stars, and immensely wealthy persons out of people who simply create videos of just about anything and upload them onto the internet.
Many of those individuals, especially those in the United States and Europe, rack up millions of dollars annually from video views and ad placements on the video-sharing platform. And several of them have become actual celebrities, who can be mentioned in the same breath as bankable movie stars and famous musicians.
These YouTube creators typically make money off the Google-owned platform through Google's advertising network, AdSense, brand integrations in videos, and sponsored videos. Some of them have built a substantial following to rake in the goods via all of these revenue streams whereas many others have to depend on AdSense.
But AdSense has a catch — only the very popular YouTubers who get millions of views on their content from certain choice locations can earn significant sums through AdSense. And few YouTubers in Africa fall into that top category. It follows that, more often than not, it can be a struggle in these parts.
How Much Does YouTube Pay African Creators?
Tayo Aina is a rising Nigerian YouTube star whose growing YouTub channel (TayoAinaFilms) now has over 100,000 subscribers. Aina's been putting out videos on YouTube on and off for the past three years, and only became a consistent YouTuber in the middle of 2019.
A filmmaker and photographer by profession who also runs an apartment/event centre booking startup called Spacebook.ng, Aina travels to different locations in various countries making original videos that touch on real estate, lifestyle, and travel.
Quite recently, he put out a video detailing the "money side" of his YouTube journey, and there were some very interesting takeaways.
"Making money from YouTube is hard, very very hard," Aina began in a very frank tone.
"To monetise your YouTube channel, you need to first have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of content," he said while also revealing that he didn't even know he could make money off YouTube when he first started out and only discovered it much later.
In 2018, Aina shot a video featuring American rap star, J. Cole, who was performing at a concert in Nigeria. That video racked up over 1 million views over a one-year period. And guess how much Aina earned from that YouTube video? All of USD 132.95.
There's a lot of literature on how YouTubers are underpaid and how many of them barely earn enough to take care of their basic needs, not to mention fund the creation of their content. And that paltry sum is an embodiment of that rhetoric. But there's more to it, though.
"First of all, that video is a performance video, and from what I've learned such videos don't make a lot of money," he explained.
"Secondly, the video had J. Cole in it and he was performing his song. So YouTube capped the earnings of this video. This is actually why people should be mindful of using copyrighted content in their videos."
Similarly, Aina made a video of Cardi B during her eventful visit to Nigeria late last year. The video currently has over 350,000 views but only made USD 20.11. That sum may actually be higher than a barrel of oil these days, but in Nigeria, it may not be enough for one Uber trip.
What Determines Earnings On YouTube?
Interestingly, Aina has also done a bunch of original travel videos with much fewer views on his YouTube channel, and those videos have actually earned much more.
One travel video he shot at Abuja which has over just over 200,000 views has raked in up to USD 580.00. There's another travel video with about 120,000 views that has already made USD 509.00.
But how's this even possible? For starters, a lot went into making those travel videos. In fact, after removing travel and logistics expenses, the net earnings may even creep into negative digits.
But beyond that, Aina also pointed out the determinants of how much a video can make on YouTube. And these include:
- Cost Per Thousand (CPM): This simply refers to how much YouTube pays creators for every 1,000 views. It's also a measure of how much advertisers are willing to pay to advertise on that kind of video. For comedy and prank channels with a lot of viewers of disparate backgrounds and an unspecific audience, the amount is usually USD 2.00 to USD 3.00. Vlogs make USD 3.00 to USD 5.00. Tech and review channels make USD 5.00 to USD 10.00. The titans of CPM are the investment and financial channels which make USD 15.00 to USD 30.00 per 1,000 views.
- Length of Video: Aina said there are "rumours" that YouTube promotes videos that are over 10 minutes long. It follows that longer videos are likely to be promoted more and get more eyeballs and, by extension, make more money.
- Number of Ads: Multiple ads boost earnings on YouTube. Aina said he usually embeds three ads in his videos even though YouTube allows one to put in as many ads as they like. He also emphasized on making engaging content that can keep one glued to their screens until the last second. That way, all the ads get to be seen.
- Country From Where The Views Come From: According to Aina, the country with the highest CPM on his channel is usually the United States, though some other countries have a CPMs. For a channel like Aina's, the CPM is around USD 5.00 for the U.S. So if a video gets a lot of views from there, the earnings will be higher than when the same video gets views from, say, Nigeria, where the CPM is just above USD 1.00. For perspective, Aina's "This is Nigeria" video got 28 percent of its 100,000 views from the U.S. and made about USD 337.00. Only 11 percent of those views came from Nigeria. If the reverse had been the case, the amount earned would have been much lower. If that video had got 1 million views of which 28 percent came from the U.S., it would have earned Aina around USD 337 K.
Other ways of earning on YouTube besides AdSense? Aina mentioned Patreon (a special YouTube platform for exclusive content where creators can get financial support), brand collaborations, affiliate marketing, and the sale of original products and merchandise as good ways for YouTube creators to diversify their revenue streams.

If you're like most sports fans, you watched ESPN's airing of 'The Last Dance' documentary covering the tumultuous ending of the Jordan-Pippen-Jackson era of the Chicago Bulls.
After watching the first two installments of the documentary, I began to think what other sports documentaries we needed to see in the future. The '30 for 30′ series has done a great job of telling sports stories that myself and people of younger generations never got to witness live.
No, this article is not about 'The Last Dance' as I'm sure you've seen thousands of those already. This piece will be breaking down sports moments I lived through but still want to know more about. Hopefully, I get to be apart of some of these documentaries in the future (looking at you ESPN, HBO, etc.).
A Thorn in Chicago's Heart: The Derrick Rose Story
Lately I have seen a fair amount of disrespect towards Derrick Rose on Twitter's and Instagram's timeline. Maybe there is a disconnect between younger basketball fans or the maybe it's the fact that Rose played in an era right before social media was popping the way it is now. But the disrespect needs to STOP.
Almost similarly to Lebron James' Akron-to-Cleveland Cavaliers story, Rose grew up in the south side of Chicago and was destined to play for the Bulls. After one season at the University of Memphis, fate connected the two parties as the Bulls drafted the point guard number one overall in 2008.
What proceeded over the next three seasons was too remarkable to put into words. My colleague Carl Cervantes described Rose's style of play as 'transcendent' and 'electric.' Rose's explosiveness, athleticism and charisma took the league by storm. Most of you know Russell Westbrook; well Rose's game makes Westbrook's look like a beat up Honda Civic.
This man was the real deal and eventually won the NBA MVP award in 2011 defeating the likes of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant in blowout fashion. Rose was the first Bulls player to win the Rookie of the Year award and the NBA MVP award since the great Michael Jordan.
Everyone thought he was on the path to greatness with NBA Championships and a Hall of Fame speech in the future. However, a devastating ACL tear occurred during the 2012 NBA Playoffs that changed the trajectory of Rose's and the Bulls future.
A detailed look on how the injury effected Rose's mental state, the Chicago Bulls front office, his teammates (a group built to win a championship), the city of Chicago, head coach Tom Thibodeau, the Adidas brand (people started blaming Adidas for some weird reason) and the NBA is the documentary this younger generation of fans needs.
How To Overcome a World of Hate
Hatred is a common theme in sports. You hate your favorite team's rival, you hate their cheerleaders, you hate their head coach and sometimes you even hate all of their fans.
But what about the players or teams that are universally hated? I mean like the type of hate fueled with such passion that people would say some outlandish stuff towards them. Four people come to mind; Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Floyd Mayweather and Joe Buck.
James came into the league out of high school and people everywhere started comparing him to Jordan. But when he couldn't win championships in Cleveland and then left to Miami, he sparked a new level of hatred in the sports world.
Durant became public enemy number one after his Thunder lost to the Warriors in the 2016 playoffs and then joined that same Warriors team a couple months later in free agency.
Mayweather's evasive style of boxing made him boring to watch, his 50-0 record was unimpressive but his claim of being the best fighter ever just deepened the level of universal hate for the boxer.
Why do people hate Buck? I'm not quite sure, but it seems like every time Buck does a nationally televised game, someone on the timeline is badmouthing him. Sure he's dry as a broadcaster, but does he deserve this type of hate?
Boston's Short-Lived Hero: The Isaiah Thomas Story
The Boston Celtics have had plenty of great players in their franchise's history. From Paul Pierce, to Bill Russell, Larry Bird to Dennis Johnson and much more. Most of them spent their entire career, if not, most of their career with the franchise. And it looked like the Celtics were going to close out the 2010's with (former) superstar Isaiah Thomas leading the charge.
In 2015, Thomas was traded to the Celtics as temporary replacement as Boston was in the middle of a rebuild. Except Thomas and head coach Brad Stevens had different ideas. Thomas and a team full of role players earned a #7 seed in the Eastern Conference that year when they had no business doing so.
The following season, Thomas lead the Celtics to a #5 seed and averaged 24 points per game in their series against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite losing in the first round, Boston fans could see something special was brewing.
With plenty of cap space that off-season, the Celtics were able to haul in Al Horford to play second fiddle to I.T. The duo lead the Celtics to a #1 seed in the Eastern Conference and had a remarkable playoff run, including a 53-point performance from Thomas on his sister's (who had passed earlier that year) birthday.
Thomas finished fifth in MVP voting that year but a devastating hip injury forced him to miss the Eastern Conference Finals. While it looked like I.T. and Horford were there to stay, general manager Danny Ainge struck Celtics fans by surprise by trading Thomas for point guard Kyrie Irving.
While Irving was the better individual player, anyone who knew basketball could have seen he would have been a cancer in the locker room. Thomas' hip ended up being worse than we thought as his career flamed out, Irving was out of Boston in two seasons as well as Horford and the trade ultimately set Boston back in pursuit of their 18th championship.
I'd love for Ainge, Thomas, Horford, Stevens, Marcus Smart and other members of that team to open about the roller-coaster of a ride and ponder what might have happened if the trade nor the injury went down.
Where Art Thou Closer? The Buck Showalter and Ubaldo Jimenez Story
In 2016, the Baltimore Orioles faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays in an epic wild card game. The two teams were headed to the 11th inning tied at 2-2 and the Orioles at the time still head one of the best closers in the MLB, Zach Britton, in their bullpen.
Instead of going with the superstar reliever, Showalter elected to pitch MLB journeyman Ubaldo Jimenez, who has a career 4.34 ERA. Jimenez gave up back-to-back singles and then a three-run walk off home run to Edwin Encarnacion that pretty much ended that Orioles era.
Jimenez only pitched one more season after that game and had one of his worst years ever finishing with a 6.81 ERA and a league leading 108 earned runs allowed. Showalter managed the Orioles for 2 more seasons as they finished with a 122-202 combined record.
Both of their careers were never the same after that playoff moment and a documentary portraying their aftermath would be a good watch.
More Heartbreaks Than a Novela: The Los Angeles Dodgers fans Story
Growing up in the Los Angeles area, when it came to sports the natives were all about their Lakers and their Dodgers. The Kings, Ducks , Galaxy, Clippers and Angels all took a big backseat away from those two teams.
The Lakers are one of the NBA's most historic franchises. 17 championships and a dominance that has stretched from the 80's to present day – with brief periods of disappointing seasons.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, have yet to win a championship since 1988. It's not like they have sucked since that time, but they have found themselves in the oddest cycle of bad luck.
The franchise has had star players like Clayton Kershaw, Matt Kemp, Andre Either, Eric Gagne, Mike Piazza, Adrian Gonzalez and plenty others. They've had their fare share of big name managers to go along with rosters as loaded as they come, yet time and time again they find different ways to come up short.
So many times did they fall short of expectations that you begin to wonder what that does to a Dodgers fan's mental state. From Ryan Braun's PED-bolstered MVP season, the World Series loss to the sign-stealing Houston Astros, the duo of Matt Carpenter and Michael Wacha, the pesky Philadelphia Phillies or Howie Kendrick's miraculous home run, the Dodgers are on the wrong end of so many heartbreaks.
When I was younger I used to tease Dodgers fans when they'd lose but now I am a little concerned for them. Let's interview as many Dodgers fans as we can and have a serious talk about that level of disappointment and how it effected their personal lives, beliefs, habits, and more.
Overlooked and Undersized Before it was a Trend: The Jeff Garcia Story
Before the Russell Wilsons, the Kyler Murrays and the Drew Brees, their was another short quarterback that had a miraculous story of getting to the NFL: Jeff Garcia.
The 6'1″ 200 pound quarterback from Gilroy, CA went on to play junior college ball at Gavilan College after getting zero offers after high school. After two seasons he transferred to San Jose State just down the road and set the school record for offensive yards in a career. No NFL teams were willing to take a chance on him so Garcia went on to play five seasons in the Canadian Football League.
He eventually got his chance with the San Francisco 49ers after Steve Young suffered a season-ending injury. Garcia started for the next four seasons and wound up being selected into three pro bowls.
He became a journeyman after the stint with the 49ers but finished with a winning record his final three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Garcia's style of play was erratic, unconventional and sometimes hard to predict but he found ways to win games. Plus, you don't see a ton of guys in the league with a last name like Garcia, so he put on for the Hispanic culture. This guy needs a documentary.
An Unforgettable Locker Room: The Urban Meyer Florida Gators Story
Their have been a lot of 'super teams' or teams that we look back and say, "Wow, they had all those players at the same time?" While their may be plenty of excellent candidates across all leagues, no one tops Urban Meyer's Florida Gators.
Meyer became head coach in 2005 and built a dynasty that saw Florida win two BCS Championships. His most impressive feat of all may not be the wins however, it is how he managed to build a roster as remarkable as 2008's. And I don't mean remarkable just on the field, I mean looking at the entire package and what they did in their lives.
Let's go down the list shall we.
Percy Harvin had a pretty solid run in the NFL but most notably got into a fight with teammates Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate while he was on the members of the Seattle Seahawks.
Joe Haden, Carlos Dunlap, Will Hill and Louis Murphy all went on to have lengthy NFL careers.
Riley Cooper was famously caught saying the 'N-word' on a video while a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cam Newton became one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in football history, but transferred to a junior college after this season and won Auburn a championship in 2010.
Tim Tebow was one of the most talked about quarterbacks in football history because of his strong religious views, great play on the field and inspirational speeches. More than 10 years later, he is now a minor league baseball player in the New York Mets organization.
Major Wright and Caleb Sturgis had above average NFL careers, Janoris Jenkins and Brandon Spikes became quality starters at the next level while the Pouncey brothers (Maurkice and Mike) have had their fare share of success too.
And last but certainly not least, Aaron Hernandez. You know, the player that Netflix just released a three-part documentary on that is both just mind-blowing and disturbing. Yea he was on that team too.
I want – no need – to know what an average day was like in that locker room, better yet the campus. How were the parties and night life? How did Meyer manage so many personalities? How many things were covered up? And most importantly how did everyone interact with Hernandez? Now that's a documentary I want to watch.

Do You remember Your last experience when You've been disappointed during Your purchase? Your expectation was not fulfilled. Maybe only by 10%. Your meal looked like on this picture, Your shipment was late, Your new car got broken the second day or You got stuck in a cableway (like me a few weeks ago). To hear an appologize should be a matter of course. Unfortunately not even this is a standart.
Whoever failed customer's expectation shall know that he owes something to him. That's the way a customer feels (even he does not say). It is necessary to compensate. Or at least to try. Even a small effort can make a huge difference.
Customers are humans and they understand that companies are made by humans, too. They are very tolerant in this way. And a small effort VS no effort makes a HUGE difference. A discount, credit, little present, gadget, whatever.
Real CUSTOMER APPROACH REVOLUTION can happen only when both sides will change!
MANAGEMENT has to realize the impacts of such mistakes straight to their business results. A solution can be a listo of compensations for each kind of mistakes that can happen and make this a rule for their personnel. Being polite and smiling shall be a golden rule. Forget Your ego. When something goes wrong with Your service You should be ready to die for a customer leaving Your company with a smile again.
CUSTOMERS shall not leave such mistakes alone. They shall not think about how they would look like in other customers eyes. The only one who shall feel awkward is personnel, not a client. NO TIPS FOR UNPLEASANT WAITERS!

The SmartLF Gx+ 42 is perfect for capturing sharply defined detail on technical drawings
and maps …
… as well as vibrant, accurate colors for graphics professionals.
SmartLF Gx+ 42 large format scanners have all the advantages of CCD technology's superior color imaging – the ability to scan a wide gamut (range of colours) and a high dynamic range (ability to see detail in dark and light areas) – combined with 1200 dpi optical resolution, the highest optical resolution available in any CCD wide format scanner in the market today. This makes them perfect for capturing vibrant, accurate colors for graphics professionals as well as sharply defined line detail on technical documents and maps.
SmartLF Gx+ 42 scanners use an Advanced 2+3 wheel-drive Active Paper Transport (APT) system that maintains accurate document positioning as the document passes through the scanner. Combined with bright white bi-directional LED illumination, APT means that even folded documents scan accurately and shadow free.
Images are scanned using 48-bits (color) or 16-bits (monochrome), with the best 24 and 8-bits selected as image data respectively.
Traditional CCD scanners have superior color imaging but are disadvantaged by their fluorescent lighting systems. By using white LEDs instead of fluorescent tubes, the SmartLF Gx+ 42 is able to maximize the benefits of CCD while saving time and energy.
While a fluorescently lit scanner can be used within five minutes of switching on, you need to let it warm up for about an hour in order for the tubes to reach their optimum light intensity and for the tube temperature to reach equilibrium. If you do not do this, color and stitch inaccuracies may result.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42's white LED illumination produces high quality color, just like fluorescent illumination. However, because LEDs operate with a stable light spectrum from switch on (cold) through hours of use (warm), you do not have to wait for them to warm up before you can use the scanner to best effect. Simply turn it on and scan!
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 uses nearly 30% less power when scanning and 94% less power when idle. The scanner has a programmable timer that will switch the unit into power saving (ENERGY STAR®) mode when it is not operated for the defined period.
In addition, its instant-on capability means that you can leave it switched off most of the time and only turn it on when you need to use it.
While you would normally expect to replace fluorescent tubes every year or two, LEDs are long life. Unlike fluorescent tubes, which stay on the whole time the scanner is switched on, LEDs only come on during the actual scanning process. They have an estimated working life of 50,000 hours which equates to over six years of constant 24/7 scanning!
Fluorescently lit scanners require more frequent calibration because the tubes age and change characteristics over their life. LEDs maintain consistent output.
Unlike fluorescent tubes LEDs do not contain mercury, which makes them more environmentally friendly.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 has six CCDs across the scan width to minimize geometric distortion, more than any other similarly sized scanner.
Traditional CCD scanners are prone to stitch and accuracy issues caused by sensor misalignment. These are minimized in the SmartLF Gx+ 42 by housing the six CCDs within a rigid monocoque camera chassis.
Along with the SmartLF Gx+ 28, the Gx+ 42 is Colortrac's fastest scanner to date. All models scan monochrome at 12 inches per second (200 dpi). If you need high volume color scanning, choose the express color e model which scans color at 4 inches per second (200 dpi).
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 large format scanner is networkable – it has a Gigabit Ethernet connection as well as a USB2 connection. Gigabit Ethernet transmits data between the scanner and the PC faster than USB2. It also allows you to place the scanner further from the host PC or network socket than USB2.
(Requires SmartWorks Pro software, not included with scanner.)
With other wide format scanners you have to perform multiple pre-scans of selected image areas to get scan settings right. With the SmartLF Gx+ 42 large format scanner and SmartWorks Pro software you scan only once, then perform thresholding and image enhancements on the scan in real time.
Scan-it-once technology gives you a huge workflow advantage. You can perform quality assurance and adjustments in-line, "right-first-time", instead of needing to re-scan quality control failures off-line after batch scanning is completed.
An additional advantage of scan-it-once technology is that it minimizes document movement (and possible wear) through the scanner and document skew caused by back and forth "checking".
IAT allows you to create better quality scans of dirty documents more quickly. The free SmartWorks EZ Touch software supplied with the SmartLF Gx+ 42 wide format scanner has three IAT settings; SmartWorks Pro software (not included with the scanner) has comprehensive IAT that you can set in real time using slider bars.
SmartLF Gx+ 42 Advanced Active Paper Transport protects your documents.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42's Advanced Active Paper Transport (APT) applies the minimum force necessary for preserving delicate originals, while achieving the required traction and accuracy to ensure images are sharp and shadow free.
We have even managed to feed newspaper through the SmartLF Gx+ 42 wide format scanner without using a document carrier sheet – you can't say that about many large format scanners!
The supplied SmartWorks EZ Touch software is designed for operation by non-specialist users and is very simple to use while providing all the basic scan to file and scan to copy functionality you need.
You can access all main functions from a simple to use control panel on the scanner, which includes buttons for Scan, Copy, Stop, Rewind and Forward.
Simply plug the scanner into your PC and use it.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 requires minimal service and calibration. The utility software included with it provides you with all the maintenance applications you need to keep your large format scanner in prime condition and up-to-date with the latest firmware and drivers. The scan glass is held down by magnets for quick and easy removal or replacement and there is easy access to the SmartLF Gx+ 42's paper feed for cleaning.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 wide format scanner is RoHS compliant; energy efficient (it has earned the ENERGY STAR®); does not use consumable fluorescent lamps which contain mercury; uses recycle friendly components; and is optimized for quiet operation.
The SmartLF Gx+ 42 large format scanner is available in three models: m (monochrome), c (color) and e (express color).
If your initial requirement is for a monochrome wide format scanner only, you can buy a monochrome scanner now and upgrade to color if and when you need it. If your initial requirement is for infrequent color scanning, you can buy a color wide format scanner now and upgrade to a faster express color model should your color scanning volume increase.
You can upgrade your scanner quickly and easily, by email. There is no need for you to return the scanner to us or for a service engineer to call.

It also allows users to place the scanner on desktops or on Floor Stands against walls to minimize the overall footprint and to maintain the operators ease of use when space around the scanner is restricted.
Minimizes the installed footprint of your wide format scanner and positions the document feed at a comfortable and convenient height. A basket catches scanned documents as they are ejected from the scanner and collects them at the back of the scanner for recovery later.
PC and LCD flat screen mounting option combines wide format scanner and computer into a self-contained scan processing station that can be moved around an office as required. The PC and flat screen mounting kit requires the floor stand (see above).
*Note: the PC, LCD flat screen, keyboard and mouse are not included.
An alternative floor stand that holds the scanner above most popular large format printers including products from HP, Canon, Epson and other printer manufacturers.

The reliability of the Auto-Size Finder (ASF) function embedded in Colortrac SmartLF scanners is dependent on a number of factors. In no particular order these include:
Colortrac R&D qualify the scanner design and ASF using as many different size originals as is practical. The minimum width is 200mm (8inches), maximum width is up to the maximum imaging width of the scanner range being developed, with as many different media types/colours as possible. Tests are conducted at 21C +/-2C, 50% +/- 5% RH in a normal office lighting environment.
Each original document in the test set is loaded and staged a minimum of 4 times and sized correctly on a new, unused scanner. The overall criteria used to qualify the scanner / ASF design is that the edges are detected so that no more than 1mm of original is clipped and no more than 4mm of hold down roller is visible on each side. This measurement is taken at 15mm from the top of the image.
Colortrac makes no warranty and accepts no liability for any loss or damages arising from the use or reliability of the ASF function. If the user finds that the combination of scanner, original media, scanner age, environmental and other conditions above prevent a reasonably reliable ASF function, then the document size should be selected from the standard sizes offered by the software or custom sizes specified depending on the requirements of the job and variation in media sizes being scanned.
The scan rate is proportional across the full range of resolutions supported by the scanner. Actual scan times and quoted top speeds will depend on the host performance and are not guaranteed for all media types.
Competitors quote scan speeds using 'Turbo', 'Normal' or 'High Speed' modes that reduce image quality whilst suggesting that scan resolution is doubled. These modes use software interpolation to create 'virtual image pixels' from a lower resolution scan thereby increasing the number of pixels in the scan direction (&/or X-direction) in an attempt to simulate higher image resolution. Colortrac SmartLF scanners are designed to scan images fast at the optimum resolution required to capture the original image detail without compromising quality.

Alley Oop celebrates 75 years
Today marks the 75 anniversary for Alley Oop. The feature was originally created by Vincent T. Hamlin's who worked the strip until he retired in 1973. His assistant Dave Graue took over the strip until 1990 when it was passed to Jack Bender who now works on the strip with his wife Carole. It is reported that at its height, it was carried in 800 newspapers and still maintains a healthy 600 papers. E&P has an article outlining the various events happening around the country celebrating this anniversary including a drawing contest for kids, a documentary showing at the Iowa Historical Museum, costume contests and exhibits.
Other comic features today are including the milestone in their comic. You can go see Frank & Ernest's tribute, The Born Loser, Moderately Confused and B.C.

"Dick Tracy" has a small call-out in the last panel of today's strip.
It's almost as surreal as "Dick Tracy" itself has been the last few weeks. Having a small floating ape head in a bank being robbed by dogs (who won't attack anybody with a whistle) while Shirl Locke (Holmes) arrives sans whistle seems pretty normal.

Last Sunday's Gasoline Alley devoted the entire strip to Alley Oop as well.

I found a printing plate from the comic alley oop. Is there someone that may be able to tell me about the value of my find and if there may be someone that might be interested in it?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Zachary Frosch, MD of Penn Medicine @PennMedicine explains that more prospective data is needed to validate stratification of molecular risk in aggressive b-cell lymphoma.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has become increasingly evident in recent years as not a single pathological entity. Wide-ranging diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemical staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have helped to sub-categorize DLBCLs by their pathological characteristics and classify those associated with lower likelihood of cure with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) rituximab after typical first-line cure. This recognition has prompted expanded use of diagnostic testing to classify patients with high-risk severe lymphoma, the findings of which have often led physicians to give these patients alternative first-line care schemes in hopes of improving their chances of cure. Here, we will further discuss this idea of molecular risk stratification among patients with DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL), identify possible weaknesses in current practice to conduct such stratification, and suggest how risk stratification can be applied more optimally now and in the future.

support through the internet. one of the reasons is that a technician can
work , in most cases uninterrupted because they are not at the user's desk

own internal support through a WAN connection like MPLS or VPN or other
hybrid solution for inter-office connections.

support on the web providers charge for updates and upgrades. there are
even those that will promote their remote support software solution as a a
product you will own however they fail to mention that upgrades and support
for the product are not free. In fact they charge nearly the same price for
a support renewal to get upgrades as the original product cost.
4RemoteSupport has a simple pricing plan. 4RemoteSupport.com includes
updates and upgrades in the price of the yearly renewal but additionally,
they never increase the price. Remote support software is provided by

remote control standalone application software for can be downloaded in
advance and placed on the users desktop through group policy or directly
from the web. The stand alone software for desktop remote support only needs
an online network connection. the connection of the remote computer and the
local agent tech-support computer is made through the internet. Remote
assistance is provided after the connection. Upon connecting, the remote

associated with the support code.
These updates and upgrades should come with the product and not be a
separate cost. Remote access software is required for tech-support and with
the overwhelming many choices for software for remote support,
4RemoteSupport believes that updates should be included with the cost of the
account of license, not an extra fee. Remote desktop support is very
commonly used not only on the web and on local networks to assist clients
and employees directly, but it's also use by administrators. one of the most
well known remote access and control applications is VMware VRC (remote
control). VMware is a hypervisor that enables virtual machines to work on a
physical host. VMware provides an operating system based on Linux that can
process and run windows virtual servers and desktops. Vmware has built into
it's virtualization platform VMware remote control. The reason being for
those who aren't greatly familiar is the virtual servers have no monitor or
screen attached to them. This is because thy are virtual. That's where
remote access and control software such as VMware's remote control software.
Alternatively, except for initial installation, administrators use
Microsoft's Remote desktop connection software affectionately known by
IT people as RDP.
4RemoteSupport provides access to remote
desktop control of desktops, computers, laptop online through the web.
Access to remote desktops for remote desktop control connections is online
remote support software. With
web based
remote support software with PC remote control, you could support all end-users, whether
they're customers, company employees, friends and family members quickly saving time &
Very little knowledge of computers or experience is required by the
end-users who are initiating the online remote desktop connection.
Unlike the recent past however, end-users have become more computer and
tech-savvy. They are able to understand and have experienced remote support
assistance through the web and know hat most often getting help is initiated
through a browser. Although, they often get their browsers confused with so
many options like Chrome , Internet Explorer, Firefox , Safari, Opera, just
to name a few of the supported browsers.
To use 4RmoteSupport's service for web based remote computer
control for support , the user will just have to enter a simple support code
then click on a web page button to connect. This software functionality is
similar to other web based remote support software service providers. The
functionality is similar and the goal is too - to provide the simplest
experience for the remote user as possible. 4RemoteSupport.com provides
a service for online remote support with web based remote control desktop access.
There are many ways to provide tech-support assistance to uses. Online PC
support remote software is one the most common ways to access remote computers
on the web to provide remote assistance . One of the
surest methods is to be at the computer desktop that is having the issue. That
is not always feasible and the logistics are non-economic. The better solution
in such cases is to use software that provides remote access and remote control
for support. Support using this method is software for remote desktop access and
control through the web, also known as
online PC computer support software This is virtually the same as online pc support software
in that it is software for remote access and remote control of
desktops, laptops, servers and other end-user devices that needs support.
The remote access can be local to the network on which the computer, desktop,
laptop or other user device such as tablets or smartphones resides or, the
remote access can be through the web. On the web remote control support
is the most efficient method for companies or computer departments to provide
support. Software for desktop remote support is also known as remote support
software. This type of software permits screen-sharing of desktop computers and
even servers over the web and local network. Computer repairs and updates can be
performed through the Internet with software for desktop remote support on the
web. Online support using software for desktop remote support on the web
accounts for a large number of solved issues. The software allows remote access
of computers online . This access gives technical support staff the ability to
solve and repair computer desktop PC problems over the Internet. Because it is
screen-sharing technology, software for remote desktop on the web permits both
the remote computer desktop PC user and the technician who is remotely accessing
the system to interact with the computer. 4RemoteSupport remote support software
is remote access desktop screen-sharing over the Internet. Unlike Microsoft RDP
or RDC connections, bot the remote user and technical support agent can see and
control the computer. This simultaneous use of the system provides for better
interaction. Microsoft RDP and RDC desktop connections do not permit both
tech-support and the remote computer user to see the screen at the same time.
When an RDP/RDC (terminal server) connection is made, only the technical support
agent can see and manipulate the screen, keyboard and mouse.
A large university or collage for example is a campus wide network of
buildings each with their own networks but most often interconnected via fiber
links or traditional copper wiring, This type of network is suitable for remote
desktop control access for support. It is however just an example of how
4RemoteSupport.com can provide assistance for tech-support to provide their
assistance. Another very common scenario is the need to provide remote desktop
support on the web.
This type of connection and remote access most often requires
software for desktop remote support on the web. This software includes many
of the features that other remote computer control software releases have. Those
basic computer remote control and support features are remote desktop access, remote desktop control, and remote
desktop support. This is where the
benefit kicks in. 4RemoteSupport provides remote support software that is one application with all the great features
that companies needs to provide support on the enterprise of over the web
as the example tech-support scenario indicated.

Kim Kardashian 'honored' to be Kanye's 'Perfect B*tch'
When Kanye West debuted new songs from his upcoming Cruel Summer album, he revealed a new track called "Perfect B*tch", which he later suggested was an homage to his current girlfriend, reality star Kim Kardashian.
According to TMZ, Kardashian is not at all offended by the gesture.
"I'm honored. I love it," Kardashian reportedly said, "I know he doesn't mean it in a negative way when he says the word 'bitch.'"
Kanye West has had a history of divulging deeply personal aspects of his romantic life in his songs. His last solo album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, included far from veiled references to his tumultuous relationship with model Amber Rose.
"The song talks about how he was with so many other girls but could never find the right one until he met me," said Kardashian.
Cruel Summer is expected to be released this September.

Teaching the Wrong Lesson
The mercy rule (if a team is winning by "too much", the game is just called as a victory for them) makes some sense in youth sports - sometimes one team is just so clearly overmatched that it's painful to watch more. But this?
In yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa children's soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will lose by default.
That's just stupid. In sports, it's easy to let your guard drop and be suddenly surprised. Trying to artificially keep games close is bad for all parties involved. The team getting beaten knows that they are being let off easy, and the winning team will end up being filled with rage that their victory has been stolen from them. I can hardly think of a more counter-productive move in sports.

Juhi Chawla says star kids like Suhana Khan and Varun Dhawan don't take things lightly: 'They work really hard'
In a recent interview, actor Juhi Chawla spoke about the current crop of actors who see saw as kids and how she is proud of them for working hard and then making it to where they are.
Juhi Chawla has been a part of the entertainment industry for close to four decades now. Over the years, she has worked with a number of actors and filmmakers and even seen their kids grow up to enter the industry. In a recent interview, Juhi addressed seeing the kids grow up to be movie stars and also added that they work hard, just like others. Also read: When Saif Ali Khan said producers make a genetic bet on star kids
In the interview, Juhi spoke about Kiara Advani, who is the daughter of her childhood friend, before moving on to speak about the other 'kids' she watched grow up, including Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan and filmmaker David Dhawan's son Varun Dhawan.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Juhi said, "Suhana and all have also grown up in front of us. It's amazing to see them. Not just Suhana, there are so many of them. When I first shot with David ji in Swarg (1990), they (David's sons actor Varun and director Rohit Dhawan) were kids. Now they have all become movie stars, so it's just wonderful to see how talented they are."
The actor added that she likes how these star kids don't take things for granted just because of their privilege. "All of them really work hard. None of them takes it lightly that I am a star kid so I'll just arrive on sets and things will happen. A lot of them really work hard. It's beautiful. But I can never say who is my favourite. All these kids I have seen growing up."
Varun Dhawan made his film debut with Karan Johar's Student of the Year in 2012 and has gone on to work in films like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, October, and JugJugg Jeeyo, earning both box office success and critical acclaim. Suhana is set to make her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, which also marks the screen debut of Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's younger daughter Khushi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda.
Juhi is currently starring in Prime Video's thriller show Hush Hush, which marks her OTT debut. The Tanuja Chandra show also stars Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami, Kritika Kamra, and Ayesha Jhulka. It began streaming on September 22.
