Guide to the Princeton University Poster Collection
"Get a Move on Old Man!"
10,690 posters
Primarily war-related posters.
The collection is arranged into six series.
Series 1: Pre-World War One, 1863-1917
Series 2: World War One, 1911-1923
Series 3: Between Wars, 1912-1939
Series 4: World War Two, 1939-1945
Series 5: Post World War Two, 1945-1948
Series 6: Unknown, 1913-1918
The Princeton University Library donated this extensive collection of World War I and World War II materials to the Smithsonian Institution in 1963 and 1967. The bulk of the 1963 donation, stored in six large wooden crates, was sent to an off site storage location. Other posters donated in 1963, primarily World War II British in origin, were stored in the Division of Political History; they were later transferred to the Division of Armed Forces History. In 1967, Princeton donated an additional five albums of posters that had been overlooked in 1963; these albums were also stored in the Division of Armed Forces History.
In 1990 and again in 1991, the NMAH Division of Conservation was awarded Smithsonian Research Resources grants to conserve and catalog the collection. The posters in the crates were in extremely precarious condition, evidencing extensive tears, water damage, dirt, mold, and insect damage. Their condition was so extreme that handling, cataloging, or mere counting was not deemed possible outside of a major rehousing project. In 1992, the NMAH Archives Center assumed curatorial responsibility for the collection and took over direction of the project.
Collection processed by Archives Center staff, 1991; 2018-2019. Digitization of the posters was completed by Creekside Digital, 2018-2019.

Startup Spotlight: Klujo Wants to Gamify Your Facebook Career Page
The Startup Spotlight is back. This week, I caught up with Tamer Rafla, founder of Klujo.
Should your startup be profiled? Send me a message.
What is your background?
I hold a Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Software Engineering and in business administration (MBA) from top Canadian schools. Prior to founding Klujo, I worked as a management consultant and led business several transformation initiatives for clients in the high-tech, travel and pharmaceutical industries. With several publications in leading academic journals, I am also often called upon to peer review scientific submissions in the software space.
Tell us about the team you have built so far.
We’re a small but diverse group of people with deep skills and experience across many aspects of building, launching, and running technology products.
What financial support did you have to launch the business?
We are very fortunate to have been able to bootstrap Klujo. We’ve tapped in our savings and liquidated several short-term investments in order to launch the first iteration of the social recruiting platform.
We sincerely believe that social recruiting is broken. Posting jobs and expecting quality applications to start pouring is an unrealistic requirement as good talent is employed while the best remain hidden. If today’s recruitment campaigns are about developing communities, the future should be about creating value in such communities. So instead of establishing a one-way communication with fans through frequent job postings and the occasional recruiting post, organizations need to provide an unparalleled candidate experience by showcasing their employer brand and engaging with their fans.
Describe the business, core products and services?
Klujo creates a “careers” tab on the organization’s Facebook page and uses a proprietary gamification technology to provide an unparalleled talent experience. It injects gaming elements in the application and assessment process to disguise it as a fun and competitive activity. It makes it much more likely to convert the top talent from just noticing job opening into engaged candidates who are interested in working with you.
Who do you expect your customers and users to be at launch?
We’ve built a solid pipeline of interested beta users, with the most interest coming from reputable B2C companies that are interested in leveraging the synergies between marketing with recruitment efforts for optimal results.
Where do you stand right now with regard to funding?
We hope to continue to bootstrap this venture until the point our growth is being hindered by a lack of capital. We’re in a position where we don’t need outside financing, but we are confident that a Series A round would eventually be needed to scale our growth.
What is the business AND revenue model? What is your strategy for profitability?
Organizations can create basic job postings and even share them across several social networks for free. They would just pay for the gaming elements they would wish to use. The technology comes with an exhaustive list of scientifically proven gaming elements with some to be used stand-alone to engage fans while others attached to job postings to keep fans engaged.
Not all the gaming elements can be used by employers from the get-go. Only a small set is available in the beginning, and as employers become frequent users of the technology, new elements will be unlocked and presented to them.
Did anyone tell you this wasn’t going to be successful?
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, most of the recruiters we spoke to wouldn’t admit that current social recruiting practices are ineffective. The gamification of HR is still a relatively new concept and we are facing an uphill battle in educating these recruiting professionals how to gain more value from their social recruitment campaigns.
How will you measure success 12 months from now?
We will manage success in 2 ways – customer success and customer acquisition. Success will first be measured by the improvement of our clients’ bottom lines as a result of the use of Klujo. We believe growth will then happen organically once our customers realize the value of being able to easily and efficiently tap into their fan community to elevate their brand and attract quality talent.

Waste Treatment Corporation in Warren, Pa. faces legal action from regulators and an environmental group over discharges to the Allegheny River.
Environmental regulators and a Warren County wastewater treatment plant are working toward a legal agreement to address harmful flows from the plant entering the Allegheny River.
Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Gary Clark said the agency is working with Waste Treatment Corp. on a consent decree that will bring the plant into compliance with state laws after DEP initiated a lawsuit against the company in Commonwealth Court last month.
Both DEP and Waste Treatment Corp. responded to questions the day after the environmental organization Clean Water Action filed a federal lawsuit against the company claiming the plant is discharging improperly treated oil and gas wastewater into the river.
Michael Arnold, Waste Treatment’s vice president of operations, said the plant has had several significant upgrades in recent years and the company intends to make more improvements as part of the consent decree with DEP.
He emphasized that the plant stopped discharging wastewater from Marcellus Shale natural gas development in 2011. The plant processes other forms of oil and gas wastewater, but it filters shale waste fluids and sends them to an injection well for disposal.
An attorney for the company wrote to Clean Water Action last month to say that the flow from Waste Treatment Corp. has at times exceeded permitted limits for metals because its current permit is a poor fit for the kind of waste the plant treats – a problem acknowledged by regulators, he said, and one that should be addressed with a new permit.
Clean Water Action’s portrayal of Waste Treatment Corp. “as environmentally irresponsible is false,” the lawyer wrote. (His full letter is posted below. An attorney for Clean Water Action wrote back to ask the company to clarify several points but the environmental organization said it did not receive a response to its email.)
DEP scientists studying the treatment plant’s impact on aquatic life in October 2012 found high levels of salts and metals in the water downstream of the discharge pipe and radioactive material and petroleum oils in the streambed sediment. Last month, DEP sent the company a notice of violation based on that study, saying the plant “failed to control discharge to protect aquatic life in the Allegheny River.”
The consent decree between the company and DEP will be published for public comment before it is submitted to the court for approval, the DEP spokesman said.
Update: This post has been updated to include Clean Water Action’s email to Waste Treatment Corp.

Let’s Review: Lili
It’s a game about picking flowers and overthrowing an oppressive slavery-based system of governance.
I picked up Lili: Child of Geos, on Steam a couple of months ago, after hearing about it on reddit a few months before that. I’m always up for a good adventure game, especially ones whose colourful and outlandish visuals remind me of the Monkey Island games that I used to watch my mother play when I was small.
Originally a mobile game, the PC version of Lili was released on Steam over a year ago (oops). Supposedly this version has more features and updated graphics over the original version, and there’s a comparison page linked to from its Steam store page. And there ought to be improvements in this version, because it’s priced at $9.99, compared to the mobile version’s $2.99.
For a ten dollar game, Lili really isn’t bad. You play as a grad student named Lili who arrived on the mysterious island of Geos in order to work on her final project, only to find out almost immediately that the island isn’t nearly as abandoned as she first believed. The story quickly takes on a couple rather dark turns and has a few dark themes to go along with it. These work really well juxtaposed against the bright and colourful game world. NPC names and dialogue is chock full of references to other aspects of pop culture, including two NPCs named Wedge and Biggs and another NPC that spits out quotes from other video games.
The gameplay mostly consists of running about, exploring and collecting things, and battling spirits, the villains of the game, who grow magical flowers on their backs. ‘Battle’ is done through a mini game that probably worked a lot better on a touch screen than it does with a mouse. Collect flowers by clicking and dragging them off of the spirit’s back until the stems break. As you progress through the game’s main story these fights get more difficult, although I never found any of them to be so hard that I had to try them more than once. Easy on frustration, but not so good if you’re looking for challenge.
There’s also a certain amount of character customization that can be done to Lili. By completing quests or just by talking to new NPCs the player can acquire new wearable pets and hats and recolors of Lili’s outfit can be purchased from the shop.
Visuals are stunning. Now, maybe that’s me talking from the standpoint of someone who’s been gaming without a graphics card or current gen console for the last few weeks, but I had Fraps open and taking screenshots before I even decided that I would be reviewing this game. Not only is there an amazing and consistent visual style, but the technical bits are also all in order. The lighting and colours are en pointe and sometimes you just have to stop and look at something for a few seconds before continuing. Character design is brilliant and the world looks very carefully designed.
Lili Reveiw
Easy enough to be enjoyed by children. Humorous, intriguing and relaxing enough to be enjoyed by adults.
God damned beautiful.
Lots to look at.
There are lots of collectibles to keep you busy, some of them are cosmetic additions to your character.
Engaging story with interesting characters.
For players wanting a bit of a challenge, even the ‘Difficult’ setting isn’t that hard.
Graphical and content additions aside, you can still tell that it was a mobile game, designed for weaker machines with less storage room and memory for features.
Short. It’s a decent length for the price, but the end still leaves you wanting more.
Oh, and the birds poo rainbows.
You can even get them to poo rainbows all over you with a little careful positioning.

Hardcover/Hardcopy
Team-building,Managing people,Organizational culture,Leadership,Decision making
Succeed by mastering the art of the who. Why surround yourself with the best? Because it matters--in all aspects of life. In fact, in professional environments, getting people right-what global leadership authority Claudio Fernandez-Araoz calls "the art of great 'who' decisions"--marks the difference between success and failure. To thrive, you need to identify those with the highest potential, get them in your corner and on your team, and help them grow. Yet surprisingly very few of us are able to meet that challenge. This series of short and engaging essays outlines the obstacles to great "who" decisions and offers solutions to address them in a systematic way. Drawing from several decades of experience in global executive search and talent development, as well as the latest management and psychology research, Fernandez-Araoz offers wisdom and practical advice to improve the choices we make about employees and mentors, business partners and friends, top corporate leaders and even elected officials. The personal stories and cutting-edge studies described in the book will help you understand both your own failings and the external forces commonly at play in staffing decisions. The author shares concrete recommendations on how to select the best people, bring out their strengths, foster collective greatness in the groups you've assembled, and create not only better organizations but also a better society. Starting with the cases of Amazon pioneer Jeff Bezos and Brazilian tycoon Roger Agnelli and continuing with individual and corporate examples from around the world, Fernandez-Araoz paints a vivid picture of what great "who" decisions look like and presents a fresh and commanding argument about why they matter more than ever today.

Are there any self sustainable sanitation solutions for remote and underdeveloped areas?
My organization wants to install toilets and some kind of recycling method in remote underdeveloped areas. The installments should be suitable for hilly and mountainous terrain. Since the area we cover does not allow for regular maintenance by humans, we need a solution which is self sustaining. My question is, are there any sanitation and recycling solutions out there which can be installed in remote areas, are eco friendly and don't need human intervention to work? Are they expensive or affordable?
recycling waste toilet
Compost toilets? – Earthliŋ Jul 28 '15 at 11:42
I agree with Earthliŋ. Composting toilets is the only thing that comes too mind. They do require some human effort though. – THelper♦ Jul 28 '15 at 13:46
Composting Toilets and Capacitation
We are doing work in the Colombian Andes, and this is our current go-to solution.
The idea is to elevate the toilet, create a seal for insects, keep waste dry with sawdust, ash, lime, rice husk, or other dry product.
When the bin fills, remove it, seal it and date it with proper saftey equipment. We use long gloves and face masks. Place new bin for collection.
After two years, the bin can be emptied and its contents composted. This is the best way to get it back into the soil and growing plants. With the two years wait and composting, there is 'no' risk.
Your organization will need to teach people using these systems how to operate them. You may need to give them gloves. You need to show them how to compost the waste.
Once the community gets the rhythm, and the compost is replacing fertilizer costs, the overall costs and benefits of the project beat out any other sanitation option.
Seems like a lot of bin changes - a two person liftable 50kg bin would only hold around 50 liters of waste, which wouldn't last long for a small village, and every bin change opens the risk of contamination, and requires "proper safety equipment" and subsequent sanitation or disposal of that equipment. If the soil has suitable drainage and far enough from water supplies to prevent contamination, an old-fashioned pit latrine seems more sustainable since it requires no special tools to build and a new one can be built when the old one is too full of solid waste. – Johnny Dec 28 '15 at 19:37
@Johnny the problem with the pit is that it takes years to break down into soil, and it doesn't kill some crucial pathogens. It's also a lot of work to dig a proper drainage channel for each pit (pits fill up), but if you don't you get pathogens flowing straight out of the pit onto the ground around the toilet and out onto the surrounding soil and watercourses. It can be done, but it's skilled work to build a good one and the "good" parts are not very intuitive (see: thousands of years of excrement-based diseases) – Móż Dec 30 '15 at 0:03
It's not clear that keeping bins full of (liquid + solid) waste around for years is really better than digging a new pit periodically that only fills up with solid waste. Especially when replacing the bins means sending in people in expensive personal protective gear to swap out the bin, which puts them into close contact with the waste. A sufficiently large pit latrine can last a year or longer, so it's not like new ones need to be dug frequently, and they can be made with only basic tools. – Johnny Dec 30 '15 at 0:15
Composting toilets seem like the obvious solution. In warmer climates it's easy to have a hot compost that cycles fairly quickly, in colder climates you will likely need to heat it or accept a very slow cold cycle (which is risky because not all pathogens will be killed in a cold cycle).
The key is to mix in cellulose to help aerate the mix and even out the nitrogen (human poo has too much for most composting). That can be sawdust or woodchips, or you can buy mulch from a garden supply place. Once a container is full it needs time to compost down, so you need multiple containers. You also need a separate system for urine, as that will turn the bin anaerobic and it will stink and not compost properly.
In New Zealand the Department of Conservation(DOC) use commercially made composting toilets in some huts and camping areas, as do Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife in Australia. They're common enough that I've seen a variety of types and they're not remarkable enough to get special mentions that I can find. They're just there.
In the past I have used a passively ventilated DIY system that worked as well as the Excelet, but obviously without the necessary approvals it could only be our second toilet. That was literally just a bucket, 5cm of gravel in a bag made of plastic shadecloth to keep the compost out of the gravel (rather than proper geotextile), and a length of 25mm PVC pipe down the side of the bucket to let air into the bottom. When the bucket was full we emptied it into a black plastic bin at the bottom of the garden that was set up in a similar way (but bigger). That's messy, but not as messy as you might think. The top layer of the bucket is very fresh, but if you empty it with a fairly fast, smooth motion by the time that fresh stuff hits the bottom of the big bin there's a lot of partly-composted material falling on top of it so there's no splash or mess. We had two, 100 litre bins for a household of four people. We emptied a bin about every 6-9 months and a 20 litre bucket every week or so (the numbers don't add up mostly because we didn't completely fill the bucket, and the bin was composting so it would lose volume over time).
We now have an Excelet commercially made one because it's got all the paperwork and certifications to be the only toilet in the house, and we intend to move it into the granny flat we are building (as the only toilet). They say that even in Australia it's a good idea to keep the full bins in the sun so they get heated into the thermophilic zone above 40 degrees Celcius. In Sydney we get outside temperatures above 35 degrees quite regularly in the summer so it doesn't take much to get a black plastic bin over 40 degrees.
I've also worked at a music festival that used 220 litre wheelie bins as the toilets. They had separate urinals and pee-only stations, but the poo toilets were slightly elevated platforms with a toilet lid support directly over the bin, and a bucket of sawdust/wood shavings in each cubical. We had attendants explaining them and adding extra wood when needed. They also had a wire hook for getting things back out of the toilets. Those bins were taken out when full then just left in the sun for six months to a year with no further attention (AFAIK). After a year they were thoroughly composted, and then emptied onto a sifter rack so that all the rubbish people dump into them could be picked out before the compost was used on a farm. The guy has formed a company that does this!

Hooking Up is an intimate look at how and why college students get together, what hooking up means to them, and why it has replaced dating on college campuses. In surprisingly frank interviews, students reveal the circumstances that have led to the rise of the booty call and the death of dinner-and-a-movie. Whether it is an expression of postfeminist independence or a form of youthful rebellion, hooking up has become the only game in town on many campuses.
In Hooking Up , Kathleen A. Bogle argues that college life itself promotes casual relationships among students on campus. The book sheds light on everything from the differences in what young men and women want from a hook up to why freshmen girls are more likely to hook up than their upper-class sisters and the effects this period has on the sexual and romantic relationships of both men and women after college. Breaking through many misconceptions about casual sex on college campuses, Hooking Up is the first book to understand the new sexual culture on its own terms, with vivid real-life stories of young men and women as they navigate the newest sexual revolution.

Safety measures proposed so far revolve around sanitation, masks, and physical distancing. These might be sufficient for a trip to the supermarket; for several reasons, they are likely to fail in the context of daily life at a university. When a strict rule is in place, classroom enforcement will likely be up to individual instructors, and proper mask use e.
Second, physical distancing is a moving target.
In the early s, a dance card was a booklet where young women could record the names of all the men who she danced with at a social. These dance hall socials would result in dates, and a succession of dates would blossom into a relationship— or “going steady.

Domestic violence cases on college campuses may soon fall under a different category. Potential changes could come from the U. Department of Education in the form of Title IX rules. The changes would require all universities to change domestic violence, dating violence and stalking to gender discrimination cases. Brandi Bartel sees all different kinds of people come through the doors at Springfield’s Victim Center, including plenty of college students.
It’s an unfortunate reality. One Missouri State University isn’t immune to. The school reported 8 cases of dating violence and 9 rapes in Right now, the U. Department of Education records domestic assault, dating violence and stalking as issues of sexual harassment, but the department is proposing they become issues of gender discrimination. That would require Jill Patterson’s Title IX office to monitor in the same way they do sexual assaults.
According to Bartel, statistically, more people ages are victims of domestic and sexual violence crimes than any other age group. Bartel said college students sometimes struggle to navigate campus life while dealing with trauma. Patterson said adjustments can be made for both parties involved in a sexual or domestic violence situation when it comes to class schedules, residence halls.

Come and Celebrate with us
We’ve been around a while… close to 100 years in fact!
Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary International , on his first trip with his wife Jean to Australia in 1935. He planted a tree to symbolize goodwill and friendship as part of a global Rotary tree planting program.
Rotary in our region is fast approaching its 100-year anniversary. To celebrate this milestone our four founding clubs: Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington – all begun in 1921 – have joined forces to develop a major commemorative centenary project.
Centenary Champions
Following the highly successful Rotary Centenary Baton launch by the Governor General, the our Club is engaging with Rotary Clubs in NSW and beyond to promote the Centenary.
We are forming a team of R100 Champions to:
To promote the Rotary Centenary
To represent the Club at R100 events in NSW
To work with the President and the Chair of our Centenary Committee (Geoff Wilbow) to organise events for the Centenary.
While most of the activities will be in the first half of 2021, we need to know who we should call on. We are also well aware that any planning must consider that COVID 19 restrictions keep changing and events may have to be cancelled or modified.

What does Rotary 100 years mean? ”
– Garry Browne AM, Chair of the Centenary Committee
A Centenary event in Rotary is a unique occasion for the Rotary world. A once in a lifetime opportunity for Rotary in Australia and New Zealand as we celebrate the First 100 years of Service in 2021.
In 1921, four Rotary Clubs were created in Melbourne, Auckland, Wellington and Sydney. From there, Rotary and Rotaract clubs were created everywhere across Australia and New Zealand. We all share a centenary in 2021.
We can come together and create a common legacy. Think about the impact we can make!
It’s the time to discover what is the best way to mark the occasion! And create a legacy that propels Rotary into the next century of service. This is so important – we will not have another chance in our lifetime!
Projects are already underway. Projects endorsed by Rotary as signature projects that address a real community need, drive us into the next century of community service, energise members, provide a magnet for new members, find new partners and raise our profile.
Rotarians Think Big. Taking on nation building projects, tackling community issues, accelerating health problems for the disadvantaged, expanding the horizons of young people, creating vocational excellence, helping local communities enjoy local fellowship. You name it, we have done it! To celebrate the First 100 years of Service, let’s reflect on what we do next and create a platform for The Next 100 years of Service!
A message from our Ambassadors, the Governor General of Australia and Mrs Hurley for Rotary’s centenary in 2021
Rotary was introduced to Australia in 1921 by two Canadian Rotarians, James W Davidson and J Layton Ralston. By 1928, when the first Canberra club was chartered, there were 17 Australian clubs.
Rotary’s first headlines The Argus, Melbourne 29th Saturday 26th March 1921: “Lieut.-Colonel J L Ralston, CMG, DSO, KC, and Mr. James W Davidson are visiting Australia as commissioners for the extension among professional and business men of the ‘Rotary Club’ movement which claims about 80,000 members in Canada, the British Isles and the United States. The Rotary Club movement had its beginning in 1905 and has for its slogan ‘He profits most who serves best’. In each club there can only be one representative of each line of business and each profession. Its aim is to encourage and foster high ethical standards in business and profession.” Ralston and Davidson only met in Los Angeles on their trip to Australia and New Zealand. But from their endeavours, within weeks, the first Rotary meetings were conducted in Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington and Auckland.
Since 1905, Rotary has been making a positive impact in the world. Beginning in Chicago, before spreading throughout the world. With the help of a couple of Canadian clubs – The Rotary Club of Sydney was established on May 17, 1921.

MYLIFEMYBOOKSMYESCAPE interviews Nancy Springer.
DJ: What is THE ODDLING PRINCE about?
Nancy: Two heroes and the bond between them, which should surprise none of my longtime readers, because just this sort of thing has been a frequent theme in my writing. Why? Because vivid, compelling, almost frightening daydreams along those lines have obsessed me most of my life since I was fifteen. The first fantasies I wrote, which were also my first novels, always had two noble heroes, faithful comrades, one dark, moody, poetic and visionary, the other sunny and prosaic, gallant and steadfast. In hindsight, I can see I was working out profound psychological problems — but interestingly, the compulsion to fantasize ceased sometime after I met my second husband, the love of my life. Still, a good while later, I wrote THE ODDLING PRINCE because of one last daydream I’d kept in memory, a tale of a seemingly ordinary prince and his oddling double. This time, however, neither of my heroes is dark and moody. Devoted to each other, both are tall and fair-haired, looking nearly as alike as twins. This time the grim, stormy element comes from someone with authority over them, the king. The result is a fraught triangle of turbulent loyalties. This book is about a love worthy of legend, valor in battle, fealty threatened by jealousy and suspicion, a seemingly doomed quest for the sake of brotherhood, and the dangers come in so many forms…forgive me for being so vague. I don’t want to let go a spoiler.
DJ: What were some of your influences for THE ODDLING PRINCE?
Nancy: The root influence for all of my fantasy novels goes back fifty years, to my college days: the early poetry of William Butler Yeats. After falling in love heart and soul with his very Irish vision (my father was an Irish immigrant), over the next decade or two I read cartloads of original material and research in Celtic culture and mythology. As for more recent influences, no, there are none that I can think of.
Terence Toh on BORNEO EXPAT WRITER interviews Malaysian authors, publishers and readers discuss the long and short of short story collections.
As it turns out, Malaysians are also fond of short story anthologies. Some readers, however feel that anthologies often get the short end of the stick compared to longer works.
“I do think short story collections are generally less celebrated and less effort is put into marketing them. I think they are unfairly dismissed as a gateway medium for novice writers. There’s a certain privileging of the novel format as the ultimate medium of literature,” says avid reader Diana Yeong, 43.
Yeong says while she doesn’t actively seek out short story collections, she doesn’t shy away from them either. Some of her favourite collections included Patricia McKillip’s DREAMS OF DISTANT SHORES (2016), Ted Chiang’s Stories Of Your Life And Others (2010) and Ken Liu’s The Paper Menagerie And Other Stories (2011). “Collections can be hit and miss and more often than not will have at least a couple that miss the mark, and only one or two in the entire collection that have that ‘wow’ factor,” Yeong says.
“There’s an element of delicious surprise going into each story, which is a nice contrast with the immersive nature of novel reading. I like diving deep into characters and places and situations with novels, but short stories are a refreshing change of pace.”
THE FRANKENSTEIN MEME asks James Morrow 10 questions about his novel, The Philosopher’s Apprentice, and its relationship to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
The “Frankenstein and Your Work” question: What impact has Frankenstein had on your writing? Are there aspects of the novel that have especially influenced you in general?
When in a strictly intellectual mode, I can tease my original adolescent (in both senses of the term) reading of the novel apart from the numerous cinematic Frankensteins that have emerged over the years from Hollywood’s Universal Pictures and Britain’s Hammer Films. But at the emotional level, I can’t sustain that dichotomy. I love—and in many cases also respect—the celluloid incarnations of Shelley’s brainchild. Indeed, I used the writing of The Philosopher’s Apprentice as an excuse to revisit several dozen movies that trace (sometimes overtly, sometimes obliquely) to the original novel.
Fun fact: although the Universal Frankenstein films are drenched in Expressionist shadows and faux-Gothic, Mittle-European atmosphere, they’re actually all set in the twentieth century, with telephones, automobiles, and public lighting appearing routinely. Not until the Hammer revolution (beginning with The Curse of Frankenstein in 1957) was Shelley’s vision accorded an appropriate period setting.
As a film buff, I don’t necessarily put a premium on fidelity to literary sources. The three-hour Mark Kruger-directed Frankenstein starring Alec Newman, Luke Goss, and William Hurt (spun from a TV miniseries) is intensely faithful to the book, but it’s also a boring movie. Give me James Whale’s The Bride of Frankenstein or Terence Fisher’s The Revenge of Frankenstein any time!
To answer your question, beyond The Philosopher’s Apprentice, many of my short stories owe something to the Frankenstein meme, especially “The Wisdom of the Skin” (a Shelley-inspired resurrection story), “Spinoza’s Golem” (the title says it all), “The Iron Shroud” (another Golem yarn), “Lady Witherspoon’s Solution” (steampunk feminism keyed to chemically induced devolution), BIGFOOT AND THE BODHISATTVA (about the Yeti’s formal education in Tibetan Buddhism), and my stand-alone novella, THE ASYLUM OF DR. CALIGARI.

A young man sets out to uncover sunken treasure and make his fortune, and his sister must pick up the pieces. Recorded on the LeVar Burton Reads LIVE! tour.

DRIFTWOOD by Marie Brennan preview: “The Storyteller”
Rick Klaw blog driftwood, excerpt, marie brennan, max gladstone, preview, the storyteller 0
In celebration of the release of Marie Brennan’s DRIFTWOOD, Tachyon presents glimpses from the book that is “haunting, timeless, and timely.” (Max Gladstone)
No one know how it starts, because no one is there to see.
The amphitheater has been abandoned for ages, and for good reason. Any living creature that remains within its truncated bowl when that world’s sun rises dies . . . or disappears and is never seen again, which amounts to the same thing. As a result, it is that rarest of commodities within the Shreds: a piece of uninhabited dry land.
Not unused, though. The timeworn sandstone benches are solid enough, if not precisely comfortable, and now that someone has knocked down the creepy, insectile statues that used to stand in watch—or possibly in threat—at the top of the stands, the amphitheater is a nice enough place for all kinds of uses, from performances to markets to punishment for the remaining one-bloods of Skyless. They permit others to use the space as they please, but personally consider its open-air nature to be the next worst thing to hell.
Only at night, though. Throughout the day, and for a generous margin before sunrise and after sunset, the amphitheater tends to be deserted. With the differences in cycles between worlds, nobody quite wants to risk guessing wrong about what time it is—nor do they want to experiment and find out just how long the dangerous period is. And since these days only one tunnel leads from Skyless onto the amphitheater floor, and the people of Soggeny and Up-End don’t make a habit of climbing the amphitheater’s walls, there’s not a lot of traffic in or out.
Which means that as near as anyone can tell, the wreath of flowers simply appears, laid there by some unknown hand, their unfading sapphire petals shining with a faint light of their own in the darkness.
It could be for some other purpose. But the sapphire flowers with their ruby stamens come from Aic, growing like hair from the heads of the few remaining Ta-Aici, and the news—the rumor; the joke; the lie—went around Aic just a little while before. So somebody, it seems, has made an assumption.
More than one somebody. The next night, which is supposed to be a market night, the wreath has company: a tiny stone pyramid, three candles, a shoe, a blunted knife, six torn pieces of fabric. The meaning of the things left there varies, and sometimes they don’t have any beyond the personal, but the ripped cloth is clear.
In the Shreds of Driftwood, that is a sign of mourning.
After that, everybody sees the pile grow. The market goes on as it should, but other people come, too: Drifters and one-bloods alike, from farther Shreds like Pool, from the nearer parts of the Ring, even an Edger or two who happens to be close by. Some come to lay their own tokens on the floor of the amphitheater. Others come just to watch the spectacle, to murmur questions and doubts at each other.
The whole thing is a joke.
I don’t believe it anyway. Never have. This is Driftwood; we all know how it works.
How can anybody be sure?
Febrenew is there before the second night ends. He keeps the latest iteration of a long series of bars called Spit in the Crush’s Eye—or rather, kept. It most recently conducted its business in an improbable cavern, carved out of solid rock beneath a stretch of viscous mud that sucks in anyone who sets foot on it. The entrances lay through the safer terrain of Nidroef and Whitewall, burrowed underground and propped up with enormous rib bones pillaged from some creature that didn’t need them anymore.
But probability has caught up with that cavern, flooding it with mud, and flooding Febrenew out. He hasn’t yet found a new home for the bar, and while the amphitheater certainly isn’t a candidate, it will do as a temporary source of profit. With so many people gathering, some of them are bound to want food and drink.
Answers, too—but unlike some of his predecessors, Febrenew is scrupulous about his gossip. When a woman asks him if he knows anything, he tells her the truth, which is that he knows no more than anyone else. But it doesn’t stop her from loitering nearby, then making periodic arcs through the amphitheater, questioning other onlookers. She’s a one-blood, her skin as dark as rich soil, hair coiled against her scalp in intricate gold-threaded knots. The sort of style people only bother with when there’s still meaning behind it. An exile from her own world, maybe; there are enough of them around.
And even Febrenew doesn’t know everyone. The Drifter community is too complicated for that, held together by its differences as much as anything else. He doesn’t know that woman, or the silent old man who takes up station at the top of the benches and sits there eating seeds, or the small, lizard-like creature that conveys through mime that it will conjure water to wash cups for him in exchange for some beer.
Nor does he know the man who approaches the growing mound of trinkets not long after the sun sets on the third night, bearing an ancient mask in his hands.
The skillful Marie Brennan’s DRIFTWOOD will thrill fantasy fans
Rick Klaw blog driftwood, marie brennan, mary robinette kowal, max gladstone, Publishers Weekly, review 0
Though not due until August (but available for pre-order from your favorite bookseller or direct from Tachyon), Marie Brennan’s DRIFTWOOD is already generating excitement.
In a *starred* review, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY praises the novel.
Brennan skillfully builds a multiplicity of worlds, painting each unique and fully developed culture with bold, minimalist strokes and, though readers don’t get to spend much time with any single character, rendering each member of the sprawling cast with impressive nuance and subtlety. Exploring found family, adaptation, and hope in the face of apocalypse, Brennan imbues this high-concept fantasy with a strong emotional core. Fantasy fans will be thrilled.
Mary Robinette Kowal, author of Hugo and Nebula Award winner The Calculating Stars, offers her thoughts on the book.
Driftwood is a richly imagined and shifting place. I keep thinking about it weeks after shutting the book. This is what people mean by ‘haunting.’
Max Gladstone, author of The Empress of Forever and co-author of This is How you Win the Time War, feels much the same.
Haunting, timeless, and timely. Brennan invented Driftwood, but it feels like she discovered it.

In these nineteen stories, the enfants terribles of fantasy have entered the building—a love-starved, ambulatory skyscraper. The New Voices of Fantasy tethers some of the fastest-rising talents of the last five years. Their tales were hand-picked by the legendary Peter S. Beagle (The Last Unicorn) and genre expert Jacob Weisman (The Treasury of the Fantastic).
So go ahead, join the Communist revolution of the honeybees. The new kids got your back.

On the B&N SCI-FI & FANTASY BLOG, Maria Haskins includes Peter S. Beagle’s THE OVERNEATH among 10 Recent SFF Short Story Collections to Read from Cover-to-Cover.
Beagle is revered as the author of The Last Unicorn, an iconic fantasy novel, and this collection includes an appearance by Schmendrick the Magician, one of the characters from that beloved book. Elsewhere inside it, there are plenty of mythical beasts, including a unicorn, a karkadann, and dragons in the employ of drug dealers. It’s a book full of wit, whimsy, wisdom, and glorious flights of fantasy, featuring many previously uncollected and never-before-published works. It’s a must-read for both old and new fans of the author.
In episode 3.03, the STORYOLOGICAL podcast discusses Max Galdstones “A Kiss With Teeth,” which appears in Peter S. Beagle and Jacob Weisman’s THE NEW VOICES IN FANTASY.
The thing I love about how this story works is that he only adds details in the sparest possible way.
Thomas Pluck on CRIMINAL ELEMENT explains Why You Should Be Watching Hap & Leonard.
Because it’s Joe Fucking Lansdale.
That really should be the end of this article. If you don’t know the work of Joe R. Lansdale, Hap & Leonard is a wonderful introduction to his most popular books. If you already enjoy his work, watching the series on Sundance is like reading the books for the first time again. They capture the tone and spirit perfectly and bring the characters to life, right down to Hap’s hippie soul and Leonard’s irascible, rugged individualism (and Nilla wafers). Which is quite a feat because, while Joe is a champion storyteller, his voice is a large part of what makes his work so enjoyable. Like Robert Parker, Walter Mosley, and Laura Lippman, he can write about something mundane and make it as gripping as a thriller because he writes with a voice that we follow like the little bouncing red ball over song lyrics, if you’re old enough to remember those.
And somehow, director Jim Mickle and Lansdale himself have translated that to the small screen. They’ve taken the first three books—Savage Season, Mucho Mojo and The Two-Bear Mambo—and made each one a short (savage) season, which has worked wonderfully so far. And if you are behind, you can catch up quickly by watching them on the Sundance TV website or on demand from your cable provider. The current season has them poking their noses into a quaint-looking Texas town that is run by the Klan, after a young black woman journalist disappears. She just happens to be Hap’s ex-girlfriend, and she was on the trail of a supposedly cursed bluesman’s lost tapes.

B&N SCI-FI & FANTASY BLOG shares the original Kameron Hurley story “Garda.”
Dead young men kept washing up on the crooked sandbar that abutted the black ruins of the palace on the pier. The body lying now at the feet of Inspector Abijah Olivia was positioned face down in the sharp black glass of the beach. Abijah wore heavy boots to protect her from the sand, but the body was not so lucky. Barefoot and mostly naked, thousands of tiny lacerations peppered its sallow grayish skin. Tattered remnants of black and gray clothing still clung to it in places, giving the impression that the corpse was an old, ancient fish that had fought throughout its ascent into the air, then was abandoned here in the ruin of some net. Its lower half lay at an awkward angle, as if the torso and legs had been twisted in opposite directions. Clumps of black hair still clung to the head, but Abijah noted two chunks of scalp missing just above the neck, as if the hair had been yanked so hard that it had come free. The great hooked-beak birds patrolling the coast could have done that after the body washed up, she supposed, hoping to snag the long hair for their nests. More answers would come from the medical examiner.
“Sorry catch, you are,” Abijah muttered, squatting next to the body. She poked at the left wrist with a stylus, pulling up a necklace of pink kelp to reveal a work tattoo. Like the other dead men she had seen on this sandbar, this young man appeared to have been employed at the wight factory upriver, which was run by the last of the operations that accepted off-world labor. Being off-world would account for the body’s tall, slender frame and weak bones. The twist to the lower body could have just as easily happened post-mortem, when the corpse hit the water. If he’d already been a corpse, at that point. One of the previous young men had actually drowned; the others had been dead hours before meeting the salty water.
Isaac Stewart at BRANDONSANDERSON.COM explans his involvement in the Tad Williams’s INDIEGOGO.
Dragonsteel art director Isaac here. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen me post about the maps for the latest Osten Ard books by Tad Williams: The Heart of What Was Lost and The Witchwood Crown. The original trilogy was what hooked me on epic fantasy in the late 80s/early 90s, and the maps for the series were part of what got me into cartography. So to be able to create new maps of Osten Ard has been something of a dream project.
These books were also foundational in Brandon’s early reading in the genre. He gave the newest books this quote:
“Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece. Williams’ return to Osten Ard is every bit as compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at the top of his game.”
I was thrilled when Brandon supported the Indiegogo campaign for merchandise based on Tad’s worlds by buying the map of Osten Ard. I’ve tried to make this the essential map for the series. Remember those foil Middle Earth maps from when the movies were big? Well, I was able to get a hold of the original supplier, and that’s who’s printing the Osten Ard map. It’s going to be gorgeous, and the only way to get it is through Tad’s Indiegogo campaign. We might have a few left over after that, but I wouldn’t risk it if you really want one. There’s only a little over a week left.

At THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION, Michael Swanwick interviews Russian science fiction author Sergei Lukyanenko.
Sergei Lukyanenko is one of the most popular science fiction writers in Russia. He is best known in America and throughout the world as the creator of the Night Watch/Day Watch universe, in which human beings with supernatural powers maintain an uneasy peace in the modern world. These books became famous globally after two very successful movies, Night Watch and DayWatch, were based on them. They are, however, only a small part of the total output of this prolific author.
I interviewed Sergei in the hotel bar during a whiskey-tasting party at Roscon, the Russian national science fiction convention. Translation was provided by Alexei Bezougliy.
ms: I think all that Americans know about you is that you wrote the Night Watch books. So let’s correct that. First of all, how did you get started?
lukyanenko: I started writing when I was eighteen years old, because I couldn’t manage to find the sort of book I wanted to read. So I said to myself, Why not simply write the kind of book I want to read? Then I did.
ms: How long did it take you before you were finally published?
lukyanenko: Maybe six months, maybe a couple of years. I wrote several stories, and then I showed them to my friends. One of them, without telling me, took the manuscript of one of my stories to one of the mainstream magazines. It was published. That was the beginning of my literary career.

James Davis Nicoll at TOR.COM includes Suzy Mckee Charnas in Fighting Erasure: Women SF Writers of the 1970s, A Through F.
You may have been annoyed by recurrent comments from a certain surprisingly flammable Waterloo-region reviewer. He complains about the erasure from SF memory of women writing SF back in the 1970s—but has that reviewer ever bother to name names? Suggest books? I think not. It is time to confront the erasure directly. Forward! Excelsior!
In an attempt to keep this list to a manageable length, I will focus on women authors who first published in the 1970s. That means skipping some significant authors who were already active at the time. I also reserve the right to cheat a bit by including a few works published after the 1970s. I am also going to break this list into several installments, beginning with A through F. Which should tell you just how many women have been erased. Whole binders full of women.
There are several excellent candidates for My First Charnas. First among them is The Vampire Tapestry. Charnas paints a compelling portrait of her solitary, cunning vampire living unnoticed amongst his prey. She does not romanticize the bloodsucker.
Also for TOR.COM, Max Gladstone’s Five Books Featuring Weird Spies features books by Tim Powers and Michael Swanwick.
Declare by Tim Powers
The less known about a Tim Powers novel going in, the better, so may I suggest stopping now and reading this book if you haven’t already? Declare is a tale of twentieth century weirdness that follows a world of secret knowledge struggling to reinvent itself in the face of deeper and more secret knowledge. Catching hosts of strange-but-true details of history in the net of its plot, Declare melds the plausibly deniable symbolism and grandiose, grotesque schemes of magic and espionage.
Stations of the Tide by Michael Swanwick
Like the characters at its core, Swanwick’s novel transforms before the reader’s eyes. Is it a detective story masquerading as a spy story? Vice versa? Does it start as one and become the other? Is it a story of magic, or religion, or science, or all of these at once? Hidden agendas are plumbed; power is used sparingly, viciously, unfairly; secrets are revealed and concealed, and the world changes.
Nancy Kress’ Tomorrow’s Kin is nominated for RT BOOK REVIEWS Readers Choice Award – Science Fiction & Fantasy.
USC CINEMATIC ARTS is hosting PLANET OF THE APES 50th Anniversary Screening and Panel Discussion: “Legacy of the Planet of the Apes” on February 9, 7PM. Among the speakers is Rupert Wyatt, director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and contributor to THE APES OF WRATH.

Film Review: The Long Goodbye (1973)
June 25, 2020 by Talking Pulp in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1970s, 1973, Arnold Schwarzenegger, comedy, crime, drama, Elliott Gould, film, Henry Gibson, John Williams, mystery, neo-noir, noir, Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler, review, Robert Altman, Sterling Hayden, thriller
Release Date: March 7th, 1973 (Los Angeles premiere)
Directed by: Robert Altman
Written by: Leigh Brackett
Based on: The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
Music by: John Williams
Cast: Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, Henry Gibson, David Arkin, Arnold Schwarzenegger (uncredited)
E-K-Corporation, Lion’s Gate Films, United Artists, 112 Minutes
“Listen Harry, in case you lose me in traffic, this is the address where I’m going. You look great.” – Philip Marlowe, “Thank you.” – Harry, “I’d straighten your tie a little bit. Harry, I’m proud to have you following me.” – Philip Marlowe
I find it kind of surprising that this is the first movie I’ve reviewed with Elliott Gould in it, considering the guy has done so much and I’ve already reviewed 1914 movies on Talking Pulp. But hey, I guess I’m correcting that by finally watching The Long Goodbye, which has been on my list for a long-time.
My real interest in this is due to it being an adaptation of one of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novels. Also, I’m a big fan of classic film-noir, as well as neo-noir, especially from the ’70s. From what I understand, this is one of the best ones I hadn’t seen yet.
That being said, this did not disappoint, as I was immediately immersed into this version of Marlowe’s world and I enjoyed it immensely.
Elliott Gould is incredible in this and while this statement may come across as really bold, I don’t know if he’s ever been better. On paper, he seems like an odd choice to play the super suave Marlowe but he nails it and gives the character a certain life and panache that we haven’t seen before this. Sure, Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum are masters of their craft but Gould, in this iconic role, shines in a very different way making the character even cooler and more charming. While my assessment of Gould’s Marlowe is certainly subjective and a matter of preference and taste, seeing this film truly made me wish that Gould would’ve played the character more than once.
I love this film’s sense of humor and its wit. Gould really brings all this out in a way that other actors couldn’t. There is just a certain charisma he has that worked perfectly here and the end result is the greatness of this picture, which may be the most entertaining neo-noir of its decade.
Additionally, the rest of the cast was good and I especially loved seeing an older Sterling Hayden in this, as he was involved in some of the best classic film-noir movies ever made. Nina van Pallandt also impressed and it was neat seeing Henry Gibson and an uncredited Arnold Schwarzenegger pop up in this too.
The craftsmanship behind the picture also deserves a lot of credit from Robert Altman’s directing, Vimos Zsigmond’s cinematography and the interesting and instantly iconic score by John Williams.
One thing that really adds a lot to the picture is the locations. Whoever scouted out these places did a stupendous job from Marlowe’s apartment setting, to the beach house to the Mexican locales. It’s just a very unique yet lived-in environment that sort of makes the locations characters within the film.
In the end, I can’t quite call this the best noir-esque movie of the ’70s but it might be my favorite and it’s certainly the one I’ll probably revisit the most, going forward.
Rating: 9.25/10
Pairs well with: other neo-noir films of the ’70s, as well as any movie featuring Philip Marlowe.

Penalty U/s. 271(1)(c) not sustainable on deletion of addition for relevant expenses
Case Name : DCIT Vs Prabhudas Liladhar P. Ltd. (ITAT Mumbai)
Appeal Number : I.T.A. No. 6479/Mum/2017
Courts : All ITAT (7609) ITAT Mumbai (2169)
Advocate Akhilesh Kumar Sah
DCIT Vs Prabhudas Liladhar P. Ltd. (ITAT Mumbai)
Prabhudas Liladhar P. Ltd. Case: Once The Whole Basis Of Addition Itself As Made By The AO In Quantum Has Been Deleted By The Tribunal And Expenses Were Related To The Business Penalty Levied By The AO Under Section 271(1)(c) Deleted
Very recently, in DCIT vs. Prabhudas Liladhar P. Ltd. [I.T.A. No. 6479/Mum/2017 A.Y. 2009-10, decided on 16.01.2019], one of the ground of appeal raised by Revenue in the memo of appeal filed with the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai (hereinafter called “the Tribunal”) was that on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, CIT(A) had erred in allowing the appeal of the assessee and cancelling the penalty levied under section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961(for short ‘the Act’) of Rs, 69,67,950/- without appreciating the fact that consent fees paid by the assessee to SEBI was nothing but in the nature of compounding of penalty to avoid suspension for infringement of law, which is disallowable under section 37(1) of the Act.
Briefly, the assessee was engaged in the business of share and stock broking including depository operations and proprietary trading in shares and securities. It all happened that there were some allegations on the assessee of being involved in manipulations of scrips of DSQ Software and DSQ Biotech. The enquiry was conducted by SEBI against the assessee for manipulation in stock market under SEBI(Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 1995 and recommendation was made in terms of Regulation 13 of SEBI( Procedure for Holding Enquiry by Enquiry Officer and Imposing Penalty ) Regulation , 2002 wherein it was recommended to suspend the registration granted to the assessee for manipulation in trading of shares of DSQ Software Limited and DSQ Biotech Limited. SEBI issued SCN for taking action based on enquiry report but the assessee moved consent application dated 09th August 2007 which was later revised by the assessee on 17th September 2008 before SEBI which culminated into an consent order issued on 05th December 2008 by SEBI, whereby the assessee was asked to deposit Rs. 2,05,00,000/- . The said order of the SEBI was based on the acceptance of consent terms offered by the assessee by High powered Advisory Committee constituted by SEBI The assessee remitted said amount towards settlement charges vide demand draft of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- drawn on ICICI Bank without accepting or denying the charges . With this, the enquiry initiated by SEBI stood disposed of. The AO invoked Explanation 1 to Section 37(1) of the Act to disallow the said expenditure in quantum assessment. The matter in quantum travelled upto Tribunal and the Tribunal was pleased to hold the issue in favour of the assessee in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10.
The learned Members of the Mumbai ITAT observed that the penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act was levied by the AO on the grounds that these payments of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- paid by the assessee to SEBI under consent order was in the nature of penalty for infraction of law and is hit by Explanation 1 to section 37(1) and hence was not an allowable business expenditure keeping in view Explanation 1 to Section 37(1) of the Act. The quantum addition made by the AO in assessment framed in quantum has held by the Tribunal to be an allowable business expenses and the additions were deleted by the tribunal vide orders dated 16.06.2017 in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10, wherein the Tribunal held that the aforesaid payment of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- paid by the assessee to SEBI under the consent order is not infraction of law and is not hit by Explanation 1 to section 37(1) and the said expenses were held to be an allowable business expenditure , in ITA no 3986/Mum/2014 vide orders dated 16.06.2017 order of the Tribunal was later rectified by an order dated 18.12.2017 passed in miscellaneous application. Once the whole basis of addition itself as made by the AO in quantum has been deleted by the Tribunal and expenses were held to be business, we do not find any reason and merit in the penalty being levied by the AO under section 271(1)(c) on this ground and which was later confirmed by CIT(A) on the aforesaid amount of Rs.2,05,00,000/- . We have also observed that CIT(A) by following the aforesaid order of tribunal against quantum assessment , correctly deleted the penalty. We do not find any discrepancy/defect in CIT(A) granting relief to the assessee and we have no hesitation in holding that under these circumstances , the penalty levied by the AO under section. 271(1)(c) on payment of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- made by the assessee to SEBI under consent order is not sustainable in the eyes of law. The learned Members of the ITAT confirmed CIT(A) appellate order deleting the penalty levied under section 271(1)(c) of the Act.
FULL TEXT OF THE ITAT JUDGMENT
This appeal, filed by Revenue, being ITA No. 6479/Mum/2017, is directed against appellate order dated 22.08.2017 passed by learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-9, Mumbai (hereinafter called “the CIT(A)”), for assessment year 2009-10, the appellate proceedings had arisen before learned CIT(A) from the penalty order dated 30.03.2015 passed by the learned Assessing Officer ( hereinafter called “ the AO “) u/s 271(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act,1961 for assessment year 2009-10.
2. The grounds of appeal raised by Revenue in the memo of appeal filed with the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai (hereinafter called “the tribunal”) read as under:-
1. “On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Ld.CIT(A) has erred in allowing the appeal of the assessee and cancelling the penalty levied u/s 271(1)(C) of Rs, 69,67,950/- without appreciating the fact that consent fees paid by the assessee to SEBI was nothing but in the nature of compounding of penalty to avoid suspension for infringement of law, which is disallowable u/s 37(1) of I.T. Act.”
2. “The appellant craves leave to amend or alter any ground or add a new ground which may be necessary.
3. This is an appeal filed by the Revenue against appellate order dated 22.08.2017 passed by learned CIT(A) deleting penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act which was levied by the AO vide penalty order dated 30.03.2015 u/s. 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act . This order dated 30.03.2015 levying penalty passed by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act was later rectified by the AO u/s. 154 of the 1961 Act vide orders dated 08.06.2015 , wherein mistake apparent from record was rectified by the AO , as the amount paid by the assessee as SEBI fee was Rs. 2,05,00,000/- which was erroneously mentioned by the AO as Rs. 20,50,00,000/- in its penalty order dated 30.03.2015 passed u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act . Thus, the penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act got levied by the AO erroneously on the amount of Rs. 20,50,00,000/- instead of correct amount of SEBI fess of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- actually paid by the assessee. The assessee is engaged in the business of share and stock broking including depository operations and proprietary trading in shares and securities. It all happened that there were some allegations on the assessee of being involved in manipulations of scrips of DSQ Software and DSQ Biotech. The enquiry was conducted by SEBI against the assessee for manipulation in stock market under SEBI(Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 1995 and recommendation was made in terms of Regulation 13 of SEBI( Procedure for Holding Enquiry by Enquiry Officer and Imposing Penalty ) Regulation , 2002 wherein it was recommended to suspend the registration granted to the assessee for manipulation in trading of shares of DSQ Software Limited and DSQ Biotech Limited. SEBI issued SCN for taking action based on enquiry report but the assessee moved consent application dated 09th August 2007 which was later revised by the assessee on 17th September 2008 before SEBI which culminated into an consent order issued on 05th December 2008 by SEBI, whereby the assessee was asked to deposit Rs. 2,05,00,000/- . The said order of the SEBI was based on the acceptance of consent terms offered by the assessee by High powered Advisory Committee constituted by SEBI . The assessee remitted said amount towards settlement charges vide demand draft of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- drawn on ICICI Bank without accepting or denying the charges . With this, the enquiry initiated by SEBI stood disposed of. The AO invoked explanation 1 to Section37(1) of the 1961 Act to disallow the said expenditure in quantum assessment. The matter in quantum travelled upto tribunal and the tribunal was pleased to hold the issue in favour of the assessee in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10 , vide appellate order dated 16.06.2017 , by holding as under:-
“ 12. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record and gone through the case laws cited before us. The factual matrix of the issue emerging from the materials on record indicates that on receiving allegations relating to certain omissions and commissions in respect of share transactions relating to scrips of two companies viz. DSQ Software Ltd. And DSQ Biotech Ltd., SEBI appointed an enquiry officer to enquire into the allegation. Notably, in case of DSQ Software Led., the enquiry officer submitted his report stating therein that in the course of enquiry, it was found that the assessee has indulged in synchronized and manipulated transactions. Therefore, he recommended for suspension of registration certificate for a period of 12 months. Similarly, in case of transactions of shares relating to DSQ Biotech Ltd., the enquiry officer found that assessee has indulged in synchronized transactions, hence, recommended for suspension of registration certificate for a period of three months. On the basis of enquiry report submitted by the enquiry officer, SEBI issued a show cause notice to the assessee calling upon it to explain why the recommendation of the enquiry officer should not be implemented. As appears from the facts on record, the assessee filed a show cause contesting the charges brought against him. However, before the final adjudication on the issue of violation of SEBI regulations assessee filed a consent application and the issue was referred to a high powered committee constituted by the SEBI. The high powered advisory committee after considering the consent terms proposed by the assessee recommended the case for settlement subject to payment of Rs.2.05 crore by the assessee. Undisputedly, the assessee has paid the amount of Rs 2.05 crore through demand draft purchased on 29th December 2008. Accepting the recommendation of high powered advisory committee, SEBI passed a consent order on 16th February 2009 disposing off the enquiry proceedings pending against the assessee. Further, on going through the consent order dated 16th February 2009, in consent application no.72 and 73 of 2008, a copy of which is at Page-151 of the paper book, it is noticed that the assessee consented to settlement of charges without admitting or denying the charges. Thus, from the aforesaid facts, it is very much evident that the consent order was passed before final adjudication of proceeding before the SEBI. Though, the enquiry officer recommended for suspension of registration certificate of the assessee, however, there is no final order by the adjudicating authority imposing penalty on the assessee. The proceedings were terminated at a stage prior to final adjudication by virtue of the consent order. Thus, the facts on record demonstrate that there is no order passed by the SEBI imposing penalty against the assessee.
13. In case of Reliance Shares and Stock Brokers (supra), the coordinate bench upheld deletion of disallowance of consent fee paid to SEBI more or less on identical facts and circumstances. While doing so, the Tribunal observed that the settlement of dispute by the assessee on payment of settlement charges is for business consideration, hence, cannot be equated to levy of penalty tor infraction of law. The Tribunal also found that as per the circular issued by SEBI consent application is for action taken u/s 11 of the SEB1 Act which falls in the category of administrative or civil action. The Tribunal also observed that the settlement charges / consent fee paid is not related to penalty imposed by SEBI but for settlement of dispute legal expenditure enc other administrative charges of SEBI. The Tribunal also took note of the fact that the assesses agreed for settlement of dispute without admitting or denying the charges. Thus ultimately, it was held by the Tribunal that the assessee has taken the decision to settle the dispute on commercial expediency and in business interest. Keeping in view the facts of the aforesaid case and the ratio laid down by the Tribunal, the assessee’s case stands in a much better footing. As could be seen in the case of Reliance Share & Stock Brokers Pvt. Ltd, (supra), there was adjudication of the issue by SEBI and when the matter was pending before the appellate authority, the assessee applied for settlement of dispute which was accepted. Whereas, in case of present assessee there was no final adjudication on the issue of imposition of penalty by the SEBI. Possibly, there could have been a situation where SEBI after considering assessee’s explanation might have dropped the proceedings. Thus, when there is no order passed by the adjudicating authority imposing penalty, the settlement charges / consent fee paid by the assessee to SEBI cannot be treated as penalty for infraction of any law. At best, the payment made by the assessee can be said to be for mitigating the consequences of the allegations/charges brought against it which still remained to be decided finally. The other decisions cited by the AR also support this view. Thus, in view of the aforesaid, we hold that the settlement charges / consent fee paid by the assessee to SEBI not being in the nature of penalty cannot be disallowed in terms of Explanation-1 to section 37. Accordingly, we delete the addition. This ground is allowed.
14. Ground no. 3, being consequential to ground no.1 raised by the Revenue will be taken up while deciding the said ground in Revenue’s. “
4. Thus in nutshell , the tribunal allowed the claim of deduction of expenses to the tune of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- paid by the assessee under the consent order passed by the SEBI which was held to be an allowable business expenditure under the head „ Income from Profits and Gains from Business or Profession‟ and it was held not to be penalty for an infraction of law within provision of explanation 1 to section 37(1), while adjudicating appeal against quantum assessment. Since there was a mistake apparent from record in the appellate order dated 16.06.2017 in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 passed by the tribunal, the assessee moved an miscellaneous application vide MA No. 402/Mum/2014 arising out of ITA no.3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10 and the tribunal was pleased to pass an order dated 18.12.2017 wherein it corrected mistake apparent from records wherein the erroneous amount of payment reflected in the said tribunal order dated 16.06.2017 of Rs. 2,05,000/- was rectified to the correct amount of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- , by holding as under:-
“ By this M.A , the assessee seeks rectification in the order dated 16th June 2017, passed by the Tribunal in the captioned appeals.
2. The learned Authorised Representative submitted before us that a mistake has crept in the order dated 16th June 2017, passed by the Tribunal. The learned Authorised Representative submitted, at Page-6, Para-8, line no 2, the Tribunal has mistakenly mentioned the amount as Rs. 2,05,000/- which , in fact, ought to have been mentioned as Rs 2,05,00,000/-
3. On perusal of the records available before us, we find that the aforesaid mistake as pointed out by the assessee is apparent on record which needs rectification. Consequently, we proceed to rectify the same.
4. At page-6, Para-8, in line no.2 of the said order, the amount as wrongly shown
as Rs. 2,05,000/- is hereby substituted and may be read as Rs. 2,05,00,000/-
5. The order dated 16th June 2017, is modified to the above extent only.”
5. The AO levy penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act vide orders dated 30.03.2015 on the disallowance so made of settlement and administrative charges as per consent order paid by the assessee . The AO considered erroneously an amount of payment of aforesaid charges paid under consent order to the tune of Rs. 20,50,00,000/- while computing penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act instead of an correct amount of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- , which was later rectified by the AO u/s 154 vide orders dated 08.06.2015 . The assesssee filed first appeal with learned CIT(A) against penalty order dated 30.03.2015 passed by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act which penalty order was later modified by the AO vide orders dated 08.06.2015 passed u/s 154 of the 1961 Act. The Ld. CIT(A) was pleased to delete the penalty vide appellate order dated 22.08.2017 by following aforesaid tribunal order dated 16.06.2017 against quantum assessment in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014, wherein penalty levied by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) stood deleted by Ld. CIT(A), by holding as under:-
“ 2.4.1 I have given my careful consideration to the rival submissions, perused the material on record and duly considered the factual matrix of the case as also the applicable legal position.
2.4.2. This appeal is against the order u/s.271(1)(c) of the Act dated 30-03-2015. At the outset, it has been stated by the Ld.AR for the appellant that the quantum appeal has been decided by the Hon’ble ‘C’ Bench, ITAT, Mumbai in appellant’s favour in ITA No, 3986/Mum/2014 vide order dated 16-06-2017. a copy of which has been placed on record. I have perused the order passed by the Hon’ble ‘C’ Bench, ITAT, Mumbai as referred to above and find that the only ground on which penalty was levied was in respect of disallowance of SEBI fees of Rs.2.05 crores (wrongly typed as 20.50 crores in the penalty order) and the said issue has been decided in the appellant’s favour by the Hon’ble ITAT by, inter alia, holding as under:
“12. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record and gone through the case laws cited before us. The factual matrix of the issue emerging from the materials on record indicated that on receiving allegations relating to certain omission and commissions in respect of share transactions relating to scrips of two companies viz. DSQ Software Ltd, and DSQ Biotech Ltd., SEBI appointed an enquiry office to enquire into the allegation. Notably, in case of DSQ Software Ltd., the enquiry officer submitted his report stating therein that in the course of enquiry, it was found that the assessee has indulged in synchronized and manipulated transactions. Therefore, he recommended for suspension of registration certificate for a period of 12 months. Similarly, in case of transactions of shares relating to DSQ Biotech Ltd., the enquiry officer found that assessee has indulged in synchronized transactions, hence recommended for suspension of registration certificate for a period of three months. On the basis of enquiry report submitted by the enquiry officer, SEBI issued a show cause notice to the assessee calling upon it to explain why the recommendation of the enquiry officer should not be implemented. As appears from the facts on record, the assessee filed a show cause contesting the charges brought against him. However, before the final adjudication on the issue of violation of SEBI regulations assessee filed consent application and the issue was referred to a high powered committed constituted by the SEBI. The high powered advisory committee after considering the consent terms proposed by the assessee recommended the case for settlement subject to payment of Rs.2.05 crore by the assessee. Undisputedly, the assessee has paid the amount of Rs.2.05 crore through demand draft purchased on 29th December, 2008. Accepting the recommendation of high powered advisory committee, SEBI passed a consent order on 16tn February, 2009 disposing off the enquiry proceedings, pending against the assessee. Further, on going through the consent order dated 16th February, 2009, in consent application No. 72 and 73 of 2008, a copy of which is at Page 151 of the paper book, it is noticed that the assessee consented to settlement of charges without admitting or denying the charges. Thus, from the aforesaid facts, it is very much evident that the consent order was passed before final adjudication of proceeding before the SEBI. Though, the enquiry officer recommended for suspension of registration certificate of the assessee, however, there is no final order by the adjudicating authority imposing penalty on the assessee. The proceedings were terminated at a stage prior to final adjudication by virtue of the consent order. Thus the facts on record demonstrate that there is no order passed by the SEBI imposing penalty against the assessee.
13. In case of Reliance Shares and Stock Brokers (supra), the coordinate bench upheld deletion of disallowance of consent fee paid to SEBI more or less on identical facts and circumstances. While doing so, the Tribunal observed that the settlement or dispute by the assessee on payment of settlement charges is for business consideration, hence, cannot be equated to levy of penalty for infraction of law. The Tribunal also found that as per the circular issued by SEBI consent application for action taken u/s.11 of the SEBI Act which falls in the category of administrative or civil action. The Tribunal also observed that the settlement charges/consent fee paid is not related to penalty imposed by SEBI but for settlement of dispute legal expenditure and other administrative charges of SEBI. The Tribunal also took note of the fact that the assessee agreed for settlement of dispute without admitting or denying the charges. Thus, ultimately, it was held by the Tribunal that the assessee has taken the decision to settle the dispute on commercial expediency and in the business interest. Keeping in view the facts of the aforesaid case and the ratio laid down by the Tribunal, the assessee’s case stands in a much better footing. As could be seen in the case of Reliance Shares and Stock Brokers (supra), there was adjudication of the issue by SEBI and when the matter was pending before the appellate authority, the assessee applied for settlement of dispute which was accepted. Whereas, in case of present assessee there was no final adjudication on the issue of imposition of penalty by the SEBI. Possibly, there could have been a situation where SEBI after considering assessee’s explanation might have dropped the proceedings. Thus, when there is no order passed by the adjudicating authority imposing penalty, the settlement charges/consent fee paid by the assessee to SEBI cannot be treated as penalty for infraction of any law. At best, the payment made by the assessee can be said to be for mitigating the consequences of the allegations/charges brought against it which still remained to be decided finally. The other decisions cited by the AR also support this view. Thus, in view of the aforesaid, we hold that the settlement charges / consent fee paid by the assessee to SEBI not being in the nature of penalty cannot be disallowed in terms of Explanation 1 to section 37. Accordingly, we delete the addition. This ground is allowed.”
As the quantum addition has been deleted by the Hon’ble ‘C Bench, ITAT, Mumbai (supra), imposition of penalty has no legs to stand and accordingly, the grounds raised are Allowed in favour of the appellant and the penalty imposed is hereby cancelled.
6. Now the matter has reached tribunal at the behest of Revenue and at the outset Ld. Counsel for the assessee as well as Ld. DR have agreed that the addition in quantum has been deleted by ITAT in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 vide orders dated 16.06.2017 , which order was later rectified by tribunal vide its orders dated 18.12.2017 in MA no. 402/Mum/2014 arising out of appeal in ITA No. 3986/Mum/2014.
7. We have considered rival contentions and perused the material on record including orders of authorities below . We have observed that the assessee is engaged in the business of share and stock broking including depository operations and proprietary trading in shares and securities . There were some allegations against the assessee of being involved in manipulations of scrips of DSQ Software Limited and DSQ Biotech Limited. The enquiry was conducted by SEBI against the assessee for manipulation in stock market under SEBI(Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 1995 and recommendation was made in terms of Regulation 13 of SEBI( Procedure for Holding Enquiry by Enquiry Officer and Imposing Penalty ) Regulation , 2002 wherein it was recommended to suspend the registration granted to the assessee for manipulation in trading of shares of DSQ Software Limited and of DSQ Biotech Limited. SEBI issued SCN for taking action based on enquiry report but the assessee moved consent application dated 09th August 2007 which was later revised by the assessee on 17th September 2008 before the SEBI which culminated into an consent order issued on 05th December 2008 whereby the assessee was asked to deposit Rs. 2,05,00,000/- by SEBI, based on the acceptance of consent terms offered by the assessee by High powered Advisory Committee constituted by SEBI . The assessee remitted said amount towards settlement charges vide demand draft of Rs. 2,05,00,000/-drawn on ICICI Bank without accepting or denying the charges . With this, the enquiry initiated by SEBI stood disposed of. The AO invoked explanation 1 to Section37(1) of the 1961 Act to disallow the said expenditure in quantum assessment. The matter in quantum travelled upto tribunal and the tribunal was pleased to hold the issue in favour of the assessee in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10 vide appellate order dated 16.06.2017 , by holding as under:-
We have observed that the penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act was levied by the AO on the grounds that these payments of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- paid by the assessee to SEBI under consent order was in the nature of penalty for infraction of law and is hit by Explanation 1 to section 37(1) and hence was not an allowable business expenditure keeping in view Explanation 1 to Section 37(1) of the Act. The quantum addition made by the AO in assessment framed in quantum has held by the tribunal to be an allowable business expenses and the additions were deleted by the tribunal vide orders dated 16.06.2017 in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 for AY 2009-10, wherein the tribunal held that the aforesaid payment of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- paid by the assessee to SEBI under the consent order is not infraction of law and is not hit by Explanation 1 to section 37(1) and the said expenses were held to be an allowable business expenditure , in ITA no. 3986/Mum/2014 vide orders dated 16.06.2017 order of the tribunal was later rectified by an order dated 18.12.2017 passed in miscellaneous application. Once the whole basis of addition itself as made by the AO in quantum has been deleted by the tribunal and expenses were held to be business , we do not find any reason and merit in the penalty being levied by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) on this ground and which was later confirmed by learned CIT(A) on the aforesaid amount of Rs.2,05,00,000/- . We have also observed that Ld. CIT(A) by following the aforesaid order of tribunal against quantum assessment , correctly deleted the penalty. We do not find any discrepancy/defect in Ld. CIT(A) granting relief to the assessee and we have no hesitation in holding that under these circumstances , the penalty levied by the AO u/s. 271(1)(c) on payment of Rs. 2,05,00,000/- made by the assessee to SEBI under consent order is not sustainable in the eyes of law. We confirm learned CIT(A) appellate order deleting the penalty levied u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act. The Revenue fails in this appeal. We order accordingly.
Order pronounced in the open court on 16.01.2019.

Facebook has suspended the account of the whistleblower who exposed Cambridge Analytica
Jonathan Shieber @jshieber / 3 years
Tech hath no fury like a multi-billion dollar social media giant scorned.
In the latest turn of the developing scandal around how Facebook’s user data wound up in the hands of Cambridge Analytica — for use in the in development in psychographic profiles that may or may not have played a part in the election victory of Donald Trump — the company has taken the unusual step of suspending the account of the whistleblower who helped expose the issues.
Suspended by @facebook. For blowing the whistle. On something they have known privately for 2 years. pic.twitter.com/iSu6VwqUdG
— Christopher Wylie (@chrisinsilico) March 18, 2018
In a fantastic profile in The Guardian, Wylie revealed himself to be the architect of the technology that Cambridge Analytica used to develop targeted advertising strategies that arguably helped sway the U.S. presidential election.
A self-described gay, Canadian vegan, Wylie eventually became — as he told The Guardian — the developer of “Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare mindfuck tool.”
The goal, as The Guardian reported, was to combine social media’s reach with big data analytical tools to create psychographic profiles that could then be manipulated in what Bannon and Cambridge Analytica investor Robert Mercer allegedly referred to as a military-style psychological operations campaign — targeting U.S. voters.
In a series of Tweets late Saturday, Wylie’s former employer, Cambridge Analytica, took issue with Wylie’s characterization of events (and much of the reporting around the stories from The Times and The Guardian).
We told @nytimes & @guardian that Mr. Wylie was a contractor for CA. He was not a founder. https://t.co/OI7ZmN8RA4
— Cambridge Analytica (@CamAnalytica) March 17, 2018
Meanwhile, Cadwalldr noted on Twitter earlier today she’d received a phone call from the aggrieved whistleblower.
Plaintive phone call from Chris: he's also banned from WhatsApp.
And – outraged voice! – Instagram.
"But how am I going to curate my online identity?" he says.
The Millennials' first great whistleblower? And @facebook hitting him where it hurts https://t.co/abjfh4td4g
— Carole Cadwalladr (@carolecadwalla) March 18, 2018
Facebook has since weighed in with a statement of its own, telling media outlets:
“Mr. Wylie has refused to cooperate with us until we lift the suspension on his account. Given he said he ‘exploited Facebook to harvest millions of people’s profiles,’ we cannot do this at this time.
“We are in the process of conducting a comprehensive internal and external review as we work to determine the accuracy of the claims that the Facebook data in question still exists. That is where our focus lies as we remain committed to vigorously enforcing our policies to protect people’s information.”

In re Sid Miller
The Texas Agriculture Commissioner is a powerful, Statewide elected position that traces its roots back over 100 years ago. During the era of Democratic dominance, the office was occupied by larger-than-life men who became national figures. There was James McDonald, a bitterly conservative Democrat who fought with Franklin Roosevelt over crop subsidies. He served for twenty years until a 25 year old man named John White defeated him and held the office himself for twenty-six years. White, a liberal, would later go on to serve as President Carter’s deputy Secretary of Agriculture as well as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Then, of course, there was Jim Hightower, a folk hero of the left who held the office for close to a decade.
Since Republicans first took over the office, however, it has been career politicians most prevalent in this post. Rick Perry, then a State Representative, unseated Hightower in 1990. He was succeeded in 1998 by Susan Combs, the incumbent Comptroller, who was –in turn– succeeded by Todd Staples in 2006, the incumbent.
In the race to succeed Staples, it is the career politicians who finished best. Sid Miller and Tommy Merritt, two fiercely conservative former State Representatives, finished first and second, respectively. They will therefore advance into a runoff election in May. Two other conservative activists, Joe Cotten and Eric Opiela, also finished strong, while J Allen Carnes, the Mayor of Uvalde and a self-described pragmatist, finished dead last.

Predictions and hopes
Longtime readers of this blog will recall that I am not much for predictions. Well, to be fair, I used to predict things all the time, but I was notoriously wrong too many times to count. Accordingly, in an effort to save face, I will not field my own electoral predictions, which are only slightly less reliable than the Tribune polls.
Rather, I want to note what I am looking for and what I am hoping for; admittedly, they are nearly mutual exclusive categories. Within those categories, I would like to look most specifically at both the Republican & Democratic primaries, as well as both Statewide races and those in Harris County. Within these four categories, there are quite a few overlapping key points, however.
1. HOW BIG IS THE STUPID VOTE?
This is one for the Democratic primary. I am using the official academic term, of course, to describe these so-called stupid voters. They are the voters who will cast their lots for Kesha Rogers (US Senate), Lloyd Wayne Oliver (District Attorney) and Lori Gray (115th District Court), in that order. Albeit, plenty of otherwise unintelligent voters may coincidentally vote for the non-egregious candidates, but there is no way to discern them from Adam.

Texpatriate endorses in Agriculture Commissioner Democratic primary
What again does the Agriculture Commissioner do? Last Saturday, we explained somewhat thoroughly that the duties of the office include not only regulation of agriculture and ranching, but broad powers over things as diverse as school lunches to gas pumps. It is a position we are adverse to recommending for a political novice. Unfortunately, three such novices signed up to run in the Democratic primary: Hugh Fitzsimons, Kinky Friedman and Jim Hogan. While Fitzsimons does have experience in the field as both a farmer and a rancher, this office is not a technocratic job–It’s politics. Accordingly, this board believes all the candidates are equally inexperienced and unprepared for the political difficulties that may arise from the post.
While we could not come to a majority decision, we do unanimously recommend a vote against Jim Hogan. While Hogan did sit down for an extended interview with his hometown paper, the Cleburne Times-Review, we could not find any more information about this dark horse candidate. No Facebook, no website, no campaigning. As is our general policy, we are typically weary of such candidates.

Texpatriate endorses in Agriculture Commissioner Republican primary
Like many of the ancillary positions we have fielded endorsements in over the past weeks, the Agriculture Commissioner is a position that confuses many. Indeed, we would reckon most Texans do not know all the unique and diverse and responsibilities the elected office comes with. While the Commissioner of Agriculture may have a broad responsibility to look over the farms and ranches of the State and ensure meaningful and smart regulation over those process, the office actually consists of far more.
As much as we may execrate the incumbent, Todd Staples, he has done one at least one thing remarkably well, and that is explaining just what the office does. In an –albeit ridiculous– commercial from 2010 that features a horse, Staples delineates the duties of his post, which also include regulation of Gas Pumps and of School Lunches. For these important obligations, Texans deserve a no-nonsense non-partisan who will uphold the best interest of all the community, not just the miniscule portion of the electorate who votes in Republican primaries.
Accordingly, we have not been big fans of either Sid Miller or Tommy Merritt thus far in the campaign. Much like our previous qualms in the races for both Comptroller and Railroad Commissioner, we are generally not supportive of such candidates. Miller touts Second Amendment support, anti-abortion rights and Tea Party histories, with not a single reference on the homepage of his website to Agriculture. Similarly, Merritt has focused on these unrelated issues too much –though not nearly to the same extent as Miller. Both of these men are former State Representatives, the type who now seek these Statewide elected offices as a type of political rung-climbing.

Statewide shakeup
Simply put, there have been some entrances and some exits in recent Statewide Republican primaries. Namely, in the races for the positions of Agriculture Commissioner and Railroad Commissioner.
Brandon Creighton, a State Representative from Magnolia who took his sweet time to announce his candidacy for Agriculture Commissioner, is out of the race. As far as I could figure, Creighton was the hands-down favorite in the race thus far, and his exit opened up a vacuum. Politics, of course, abhors a vacuum, and therefore a small stampede of candidates rushed into the primary, which now lacks a clear frontrunner. I never got around to writing about this last week, but Sophia discussed it in the week in review this past Sunday.
Now, the Texas Tribune reports that State Representative Stefani Carter, a candidate for Railroad Commissioner, has dropped out of the race. Carter, in stark contrast to Creighton, was not doing especially well in the race. Malachi Boyuls, George P. Bush’s business partner, has by far the most money in that race, and thus was crowned as the frontrunner by the Tribune. Carter, therefore, most likely felt her candidacy was not worthwhile.

The State of Statewide Elections
We have had quite a lot of action recently with our Statewide elections, and I’m talking about the Republican primaries to be clear. If anyone really wanted me to enumerate every single Democratic candidate, it would just be an empty chart. So, without further ado, the State of the Statewides, on this final day of June, 2013. We will be getting the campaign finance reports soon, so there will be even more to talk about.
*Rick Perry-Despite recently pledging to make a campaign decision by July 1st, the Governor recently reneged on that promise. The new time frame appears to be that Perry will make his big decision by the end of the Second Special Session, so by the end of July. Reading the tea leaves for Perry’s future is difficult, however. On one hand, the Texas Tribune recently reported that a Perry campaign veteran, Mark Miner, is rejoining his team. On the other, more and more candidates have started lining up for the Attorney General’s office, with the assumption that Greg Abbott is running for Governor. Only the incumbent Governor knows for sure.
*Greg Abbott-The incumbent Attorney General is, second to only Perry, the most watched figure in Texas politics. Perry has previous made the announcement that the duo would not run against each other. Further, there have been quite a few candidates who have declared for Abbott’s current job, with the understanding that Abbott will not run again for Attorney General.
*Tom Pauken-The former Chairman of the Texas Republican Party and Texas Workforce Commission is, right now, the only serious candidate running for the Governor’s office. He in unapologetic about opposing the incumbent, but I do not know how the campaign would actually go if it were Abbott, and not Perry, who was his principle opponent.
*Larry SECEDE Kilgore-As I have mentioned before, there is also a Texas secessionist who wants to turn to the new sovereignty into a theocracy. His campaign will be entertaining to watch, to say the least.
*David Dewhurst-The incumbent Lieutenant Governor, despite his recent bad press, is still working hard to keep his job. After his loss to Cruz in last year’s Senate primary, Dewhurst has attempted to move as far to the right as humanly possible. A recent poll showed he had a plurality lead in a possible Republican primary, though most involved were still undecided.
*Jerry Patterson-The incumbent Land Commissioner has been openly running for Lite Gov since 2011, back when it appeared Dewhurst would be a shoe-in for the Senate. Since Dewhurst’s defeat, Patterson has simply doubled down on his own campaign.
*Todd Staples-The incumbent Agriculture Commissioner is pretty much in the same boat as Patterson. The commissioner has recently released a new internet video (not quite a commercial), that introduces him and his conservative credentials. It is chock full of hypocrisy, so I am sure he is going for major Tea Party support. For example, Staples calls himself a “defender of individual rights,” then brags about authoring the Defense of Marriage Act. Yuck.
*Dan Patrick-The new contender, State Senator Dan Patrick recently announced via YouTube video that he would be challenging Dewhurst, and, by extension, Patterson and Staples. Patrick attempted to brand himself as an “authentic Conservative.”
*Dan Branch-The Chairman of the House Higher Education Committee, a State Representative for six terms now, has officially announced his intentions for Attorney General assuming Abbott departs. He is a little “twitter-happy” (that’s an understatement), making a tweet every few minutes that ends with the hashtag “DanBranch2014.”
*Barry Smitherman-The incumbent Railroad Commissioner, who was just re-elected without opponent last year, has also announced his intentions to run for Attorney General in the event of Abbott’s departure.
*Ken Paxton-The one-term Senator and previous Representative has long been mentioned as a possible candidate for Attorney General, though he hasn’t officially announced anything.
*Susan Reed-I am going to keep mentioning this until she definitively rules herself out. Susan Reed, the Bexar County DA, was mentioned by the SA Express-News about being interested in running for the seat. She has not officially announced anything herself.
LAND COMMISSIONER
*George P. Bush-The next generation of Bush has been openly running for this seat for a few months now. He is getting national recognition because his dad was the Governor of Florida, his uncle was the President (and Governor of Texas) and his grandfather was also the President.
*David Watts-Watts, who has to my knowledge never held public office, is running against Bush for Land Commissioner. A self proclaimed “Conservative Republican,” his announcement flew completely under the radar.
AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER
*Brandon Creighton-The conservative, Tea Party State Representative from Conroe, has been mentioned by quite a few sources, including The New York Times, as a possible candidate for Agriculture Commissioner. Creighton has not confirmed his candidacy.
*Tommy Merritt-The eastern Texas State Representative was famously defeated in the 2010 Republican Primary by then-unknown Tea Party favorite David Simpson, who has since become a big opponent of Speaker Straus. Merritt is now mentioned as an Agriculture Commissioner candidate, though he has not confirmed this.
*Eric Opiela-The only open candidate at this time. He served as the Executive Director of the Texas Republican Party from 2008-2009 and bears a special hatred in his heart for the EPA.
*Glenn Hegar-The Senator who just concluded his fourth session is already an open candidate for the Comptrollers’ office, now that incumbent Susan Combs will be retiring.
*Debra Medina-The former gubernatorial candidate and Wharton County Republican Party chair will be running for the office as well. If her 2010 campaign was any indicator, this will be a fun campaign.
*Harvey Hilderbran-The longtime State Representative will be running for the Comptrollers’ office, after 24 years in the lower house. Hilderbrn, a Tea Party favorite, was recently listed on Texas Monthly’s list of worst legislators.
*Raul Torres-The former one-term Republican State Rep from the Valley will be running for the office as well. I am curious to know how he will be setting himself apart from the rest.
*Tommy Williams-The Woodlands’ Senator, who recently had a high profile spat with Dan Patrick, has long been rumored as a Comptroller candidate. Williams, for his part, will be making his decision soon. Like Perry, he originally was going to make a comment at the conclusion of the special session, but the second session has started to muck these things up. Expect an announcement from Williams around the end of July.
RAILROAD COMMISSION
*Malachi Boyuls-A good friend of George P’s, Boyuls was recently highlighted as a candidate for the Railroad Commission. Interestingly, there will actually be two open Railroad Commission spots. First, Christi Craddick’s spot will be up for a full six-year term, while the final four years of Smitherman’s term will be filled in the event that he resigns his seat on the RRC.
*Stefani Carter-The Dallas area State Representative has long been open about her desires for Statewide office. If elected, she would bring some much needed diversity at the top –she is both female and African-American– which is now dominated by old, White men. For her part, she has not announced one way or another. She has even been mentioned as a possible Attorney General candidate.

P!nk | Hurts 2B Human
Pop smarts share space with introspective lyrics on Alecia Moore's eighth album.
P!nk - Hurts 2B Human
Love her or loathe her, you have to give Alecia Moore credit: She’s a survivor. The singer better known as P!nk has been at the top of the pop game for nearly 20 years now. And even though she’s pushing 40, she is not only the most fearlessly and ambitiously acrobatic and athletic performer in music — she has also found a way to act her age and have her say in an ageist, sexist business that most often tries to force female artists to be bland, crowd-pleasing hit machines. Which is not to suggest that P!nk doesn’t know how to placate the masses or play the game; her eighth album Hurts 2B Human delivers all the radio-ready singles and tough-chick attitude required by pop-chart law. Naturally, they were co-created by a lengthy slate of high-powered songwriters and producers like Max Martin, Shellback, Nate Ruess, Teddy Geiger, Ryan Tedder, Greg Kurstin, Sia and Beck. And of course, there are the mandatory crossover guests from Chris Stapleton and Khalid to Wrabel and Cash Cash. But as usual, all the tradecraft and trappings and high-wattage guests don’t get in the way of P!nk’s introspective, confessional and firmly grounded lyrics about grown-up love, loss, motherhood and mortality. So what you end up with is a commercial pop disc that can entertain the youngsters even as it speaks to their parents. She keeps that up, she’ll likely stay at the top of that game for a while yet.

Today in Madonna History: November 24, 1984
November 24, 2018 By sonicboy19 in 1984, November Tags: Billboard, Like A Virgin (Album), Malcolm Middleton, Review, Stay, Stephen Bray 5 Comments
On November 24 1984, Madonna’s Like A Virgin album was reviewed in Billboard magazine.
Check out Malcolm Middleton’s excellent cover of Stay, a pre-fame Madonna & Stephen Bray collaboration that later became the closing track on Like A Virgin:

The verdict on Like a Virgin-Quite good!-one of the better sophomore records in Rock! Best song on the album-Madonna’s first ballad Love Don’t Live Here Anymore. Good job Madonna.
Madonna Lova says:
She did NOT “fail to deliver” on ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’!
sonicboy19 says:
Warren Miller says:
That cover of “Stay” is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. It’s funny how cover versions sometimes make you see something in a song that you didn’t notice in the original.
Completely agree. It’s interesting when an uptempo song is slowed down into a ballad how the lyrics seem to take on a very different emotional resonance.

Will he or won’t he hit the bullseye? Using Bayes’ Theorem, your prediction will be based on how the current match is going - and how he’s played in the past. Flickr/Marjan Lazarevski, CC BY-ND
Bayes’ Theorem: the maths tool we probably use every day, but what is it?

Our world view and resultant actions are often driven by a simple theorem, devised in secret more than 150 years ago by a quiet English mathematician and theologian, Thomas Bayes, and only published after his death.
Bayes’ Theorem was famously used to crack the Nazi Enigma code during World War II, and now manages uncertainty across science, technology, medicine and much more.
Bayes’ Theorem explained
Thomas Bayes’ insight was remarkably simple. The probability of a hypothesis being true depends on two criteria:
how sensible it is, based on current knowledge (the “prior”)
how well it fits new evidence.
Yet, for 100 years after his death, scientists typically evaluated their hypotheses against only the new evidence. This is the traditional hypothesis-testing (or frequentist) approach that most of us are taught in science class.
The difference between the Bayesian and frequentist approaches is starkest when an implausible explanation perfectly fits a piece of new evidence.
Let me concoct the hypothesis: “The Moon is made of cheese.”
An implausible hypothesis. Michael Lee (Flinders University and South Australian Museum)
I look skywards and collect relevant new evidence, noting that the Moon is cheesy yellow in colour. In a traditional hypothesis-testing framework, I would conclude that the new evidence is consistent with my radical hypothesis, thus increasing my confidence in it.
Traditional hypothesis-testing methods (frequentist approaches) only consider how well a hypothesis fits new evidence. Michael Lee (Flinders University and South Australian Museum)
But using Bayes’ Theorem, I’d be more circumspect. While my hypothesis fits the new evidence, the idea was ludicrous to begin with, violating everything we know about cosmology and mineralogy.
Thus, the overall probability of the Moon being cheese - which is a product of both terms - remains very low.
Bayesian Inference considers how well the hypothesis fits existing knowledge, and how well it fits new evidence. For simplicity, the Normalising Constant has been omitted from the formula. Michael Lee (Flinders University and South Australian Museum)
Admittedly, this is an extreme caricature. No respectable scientist would ever bother testing such a dumb hypothesis.
But scientists globally are always evaluating a huge number of hypotheses, and some of these are going to be rather far-fetched.
For example, a 2010 study initially suggested that people with moderate political views have eyes that can literally see more shades of grey.
This was later dismissed after further testing, conducted because the researchers recognised it was implausible to begin with. But it’s almost certain that other similar studies have been accepted uncritically.
The Bayesian approach in life
We use prior knowledge from our experiences and memories, and new evidence from our senses, to assign probabilities to everyday things and manage our lives.
Consider something as simple as answering your work mobile phone, which you usually keep on your office desk when at work, or on the charger when at home.
You are at home gardening and hear it ringing inside the house. Your new data is consistent with it being anywhere indoors, yet you go straight to the charger.
You have combined your prior knowledge of the phone (usually either on the office desk, or on the charger at home) with the new evidence (somewhere in the house) to pinpoint its location.
If the phone is not at the charger, then you use your prior knowledge of where you have sometimes previously left the phone to narrow down your search.
You ignore most places in the house (the fridge, the sock drawer) as highly unlikely a priori, and hone in on what you consider the most likely places until you eventually find the phone. You are using Bayes’ Theorem to find the phone.
Belief and evidence
A feature of Bayesian inference is that prior belief is most important when data are weak. We use this principle intuitively.
For example, if you are playing darts in a pub and a nearby stranger says that he or she is a professional darts player, you might initially assume the person is joking.
You know almost nothing about the person, but the chances of meeting a real professional darts player are small. DartPlayers Australia tells The Conversation there are only about 15 in Australia.
If the stranger throws a dart and hits the bullseye, it still mightn’t sway you. It could just be a lucky shot.
But if that person hits the bullseye ten times in a row, you would tend to accept their claim of being a professional. Your prior belief becomes overridden as evidence accumulates. Bayes’ Theorem at work again.
The one theory to rule them all
Bayesian reasoning now underpins vast areas of human enquiry, from cancer screening to global warming, genetics, monetary policy and artificial intelligence.
Risk assessment and insurance are areas where Bayesian reasoning is fundamental. Every time a cyclone or flood hits a region, insurance premiums skyrocket. Why?
Houses are surrounded by floodwaters at Depot Hill, in Rockhampton, after ex-cyclone Debbie dumped heavy rain on Queensland this year. AAP Image/Dan Peled
Risk can be tremendously complex to quantify and current conditions might provide scant information about likely future disasters. Insurers therefore estimate risk based on both current conditions and what’s happened before.
Every time a natural disaster strikes, they update their prior information on that region into something less favourable. They foresee a greater probability of future claims, and so raise premiums.
Bayesian inference similarly plays an important role in medical diagnosis. A symptom (the new evidence) can be a consequence of various possible diseases (the hypotheses). But different diseases have different prior probabilities for different people.
A major problem with online medical tools such as webMD is that prior probabilities are not properly taken into account. They know very little about your personal history. A huge range of possible ailments can be thrown up.
A visit to a doctor who knows your prior medical records will result in a narrower and more sensible diagnosis. Bayes’ Theorem once again.
Alan Turing and Enigma
Bayesian approaches allow us to extract precise information from vague data, to find narrow solutions from a huge universe of possibilities.
They were central to how British mathematician Alan Turing cracked the German Engima code. This hastened the allied victory in World War II by at least two years and thus saved millions of lives.
To decipher a set of encrypted German messages, searching the near-infinite number of potential translations was impossible, especially as the code changed daily via different rotor settings on the tortuously complex Enigma encryption machine.
Turing’s crucial Bayesian insight was that certain messages were much more likely than other messages.
Cracking the Enigma code.
These likely solutions, or “cribs” as his team called them, were based on previous decrypted messages, as well as logical expectations.
For example, messages from U-boats were likely to contain phrases related to weather or allied shipping.
The strong prior information provided by these cribs greatly narrowed the number of possible translations that needed to be evaluated, allowing Turing’s codebreaking machine to decipher the Enigma code rapidly enough to outpace the daily changes.

Bayes and evolution
Why are we so interested in Bayesian methodology? In our own field of study, evolutionary biology, as in much of science, Bayesian methods are becoming increasingly central.
From predicting the effects of climate change to understanding the spread of infectious diseases, biologists are typically searching for a few plausible solutions from a vast array of possibilities.
In our research, which mainly involves reconstructing the history and evolution of life, these approaches can help us find the single correct evolutionary tree from literally billions of possible branching patterns.
In work - as in everyday life - Bayesian methods can help us to find small needles in huge haystacks.
The dark side of Bayesian inference
Of course, problems can arise in Bayesian inference when priors are incorrectly applied.
In law courts, this can lead to serious miscarriages of justice (see the prosecutor’s fallacy).
In a famous example from the UK, Sally Clark was wrongly convicted in 1999 of murdering her two children.
Prosecutors had argued that the probability of two babies dying of natural causes (the prior probability that she is innocent of both charges) was so low – one in 73 million – that she must have murdered them.
But they failed to take into account that the probability of a mother killing both of her children (the prior probability that she is guilty of both charges) was also incredibly low. So the relative prior probabilities that she was totally innocent or a double murderer were more similar than initially argued.
Professor Philip Dawid on the Sally Clark case.
Clark was later cleared on appeal with the appeal court judges criticising the use of the statistic in the original trial.
This highlights how poor understanding of Bayes’ Theorem can have far-reaching consequences. But the flip side is that Bayesian methods with well justified, appropriate priors can provide insights that are otherwise unobtainable.

Unearthed Words
July 27, 2020 Piet Oudolf Finds Solace in the Garden, Jeanne Baret, Horatio Hollis Hunnewell, Benjamin Lincoln Robinson, Hewett Cottrell Watson, William T. Hutchins, Silly Garden Poems, Rustic Garden Projects by Marianne Svärd Häggvik, and Bernadette Cozart.
Today we remember the first woman to have circumnavigated the world.
We'll also learn about the wealthy horticulturist who built a magnificent estate on the shores of Lake Waban.
We celebrate the botanist who was the first editor of Rhodora, the New England Botanical Club's journal.
We also salute the father of British plant geography.
We honor the Reverend, who wrote two sweet little books for Burpee about sweet peas.
Today's Unearthed Words feature some silly light-hearted poems about the garden.
We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that gives us something to do in terms of projects for our garden,
And then we'll wrap things up with the story of the woman who founded the Greening of Harlem.
But first, let's catch up on some Greetings from Gardeners around the world and today's curated news.

Landscape designer Piet Oudolf on finding solace in the garden | PBS NewsHour
“The world has looked strange these past months, familiar places no longer familiar at all.
Many people have turned to their own or community gardens during this period, growing vegetables and flowers, nourishing body and soul. Gardening centers have been among the first essential businesses to reopen. Sales of seeds have soared.
Piet Oudolf isn't surprised.”
Piet Oudolf ("Peet Ow-dolf") quotes from the transcript:
"I think every day is an experience, because there's always something you will like, and it's not only about the plants. It's also about the light and the movement.
Once you touch the plants and just start to work with them, there's a big chance that you get lost in the world of plants and that you want to experience more of gardening.
You can think while you're gardening. You can think about life and how to follow up after this crisis.
But at least people want to go to places where I normally would go to, to gardens and to parks. And I think that people will realize that we, as human beings, need that, to feel good.
What I say for people that just start gardening, I think anything that you see at the garden center that you like can be a good start — to become a serious gardener."
Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.
Now, if you'd like to check out my curated news articles and blog posts for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community.

1740 Today is the birthday of the explorer and botanist Jeanne Baret.
Jeanne was the first woman to have circumnavigated the globe as part of the expedition, which was led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville.
Beret was able to join the expedition after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon.
Before the expedition, Jeanne had been employed as Commerçon's housekeeper. A few years later, his wife died, and Jeanne took over the management of the household and began a personal relationship with Commerçon.
Commerçon had poor health, and it was likely that he needed Jeanne to join him on the expedition because he needed her assistance.
Jeanne was an excellent botanist in her own right. When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, an old leg injury prevented Commerçon from collecting specimens. Thus, it was Jeanne who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea.
1810 Today is the birthday of one of America's most prominent horticulturalists – Horatio Hollis Hunnewell.
Horatio was staggeringly wealthy. He was a railroad financier. But he also had a lifelong love of nature and gardening.
When Horatio purchased over 40 acres of land along the eastern and southern shores of Lake Waban ("Wah-bin"), he built a magnificent estate there. He had married Isabella Pratt Wells, and he decided to call his impressive home Wellesley in honor of his wife's maiden name.
When it came time for the nearby town and college to settle on a name, they also chose the name Wellesley after discussing the matter with Horatio, who happened to be the most generous benefactor of the city.
The Hunnewell estate was so large that when the Hunnewell children grew up, seven of the nine had homes built on the property - right next to their parent's original house. Aside from the impressive homes, Horatio added many magnificent features to the estate, including a pinetum with over 325 specimens of conifers.
Hollis Honeywell made the following remark in 1899 about his trees,
"No Vanderbilt, with all his great wealth, can possess one of these [trees] for the next 50 years, for could not be grown in less time than that."
And, Horatio also installed the very first Topiary Garden in America at Wellesley. He referred to it as the Italian Garden, and it was ideally situated along the shore of Lake Waban. When it came to the Topiary Garden, Horatio went all out. Whenever he had guests, Horatio would have them hop aboard a large authentic Italian Gondola boat complete with an authentically dressed gondola man. After they glided up to the Topiary Gardens, they would stop and take a tour. Horatio's shores rivaled that of Lake Como in northern Italy.
It's difficult to fathom how much attention this one-of-a-kind garden received from the public. Thousands of visitors from all over the country came to Wellesley just to see the topiary garden firsthand. Many more took in its beauty through photographs and engravings published in the most popular periodicals of the time.
To this day — a century and a half later — the Hunnewell Topiary Garden is among the most spectacular sites in the region.
There are a few stories about Horatio I discovered during my research. The first is that Horatio and his friend Nathaniel Thayer Jr. brought the game of tennis to America. The second story is that Horatio was the first person to cultivate and popularize rhododendrons In the United States.
1864 Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Benjamin Lincoln Robinson.
In 1892, Benjamin was appointed the curator of the Asa Gray Herbarium at Harvard.
When Benjamin took over, both the herbarium and the library were in dire straits. Benjamin brought in funding and expanded the herbarium. Today, the Gray Herbarium and library are still housed at Harvard at 22 Divinity Ave.
In 1899, the first issue of the New England Botanical Club's journal, Rhodora, was published. And, Rhodora's first editor was Benjamin.
1881 Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and the father of British plant geography Hewett Cottrell Watson.
In recognition of his significant contributions, the botanical society of the British Isles named their journal Watsonia.
Beginning in 1834, Hewett was one of the first botanists to research plant evolution. Hewett's work also paved the way for a new science now known as ecology.
When Darwin created his theory of evolution, he was standing on the shoulders of curious early evolutionists like Hewett.
Darwin's popularity and success overshadowed the folks like Hewett, who came before him. Yet, it's evident that when Hewett read Darwin's Origin, his reaction was one of wonder... and also self-reflection. He spent his adult life trying to reach Darwin's conclusion. Now, as an older man, he could see the match he had lit being passed to a true torch-bringer.
After reading the origin, Hewett wrote to Darwin. Hewett's letter is a part proud dad, part awed fan, and yet, he still takes time to advise Darwin on areas to improve or take heed. In two different passages, Hewett points out that Darwin had succeeded where he had stopped short, saying Darwin had figured out the quo modo or the method to knit the strings of the theory of evolution together.
Hewett's letter to Darwin is quite something to read – even after all this time:
My dear Sir
Once [I started] to read the ‘Origin’ I could not rest [until] I had galloped through [all of it]. I shall now begin to re-read it more deliberately. Meantime I am tempted to write you [my] first impressions…
1st. Your leading idea will assuredly become recognized as an established truth in science, i.e. “natural selection”. (It has the characteristics of all great natural truths, clarifying what was obscure, simplifying what was intricate, adding greatly to previous knowledge). You are the greatest Revolutionist in natural history of this century, if not of all centuries.
2d. You will perhaps need … to limit or modify, ... the principle of ‘natural selection’.
3d. Now [that] these novel views are brought… before the scientific public, it seems truly remarkable how [we didn’t see them sooner]..
A quarter-century ago, you & I must have [had]the same state of mind... But you were able to see & work out [the theory], … while I failed to grasp it. ...
How greatly this...will shock the ideas of many men!
very sincerely | Hewett C. Watson to C. Darwin | Esq.
Darwin Correspondence Project, “Letter no. 2540,” accessed on 26 April 2019, http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/DCP-LETT-2540
1895 On this day, a photo of the horticulturist and Reverend William T. Hutchins of Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, appeared in the Springfield Republican.
William is remembered for his book called "All About Sweet Peas," published in 1892 by the Burpee Seed Company. Five years later, William wrote another book for Burpee called Sweet Peas Up-to-Date. William's writings were used as promo material for Burpee, and customers positively received them. Incredibly, Burpee distributed fifty thousand copies of "All About Sweet Peas."
In August of 1898, The Star-Gazette out of Elmira New York reported on a talk that William had given about the history and culture of sweet pea.
“Mr. Hutchins said that the flower is a native of Sicily, and is widely cultivated there, but in late years it has come into popular favor in America, and is now raised in nearly every part of the country.
The speaker mentioned some of the rare varieties and told how they are obtained…
He also gave a most interesting description of the gardens of Mr. Eckford in England, whose cultivation [of] about seventy-five of ...the choicest sweet peas have been given to the flower lovers of the world.”
And, in 1950, Charles H. Curtis, the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle, wrote,
“Fifty years ago, a parson from Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, stood on the platform in the Lecture Hall of the Crystal Palace. He was the Rev. W. T. Hutchins, an enthusiastic grower of Sweet Peas, who had a voice as sweet and persuasive as the fragrance of his subject. I can hear him now.”
One of my favorite articles featuring William was published in The Atlanta Constitution on March 31, 1991. The title of the article was "Oh, Sweet Peas, Please Climb Above My knees" and was written by Laura Martin.
Laura dug up this quote by William, who said that the sweet pea has "a fragrance like the universal gospel."
And, regarding the sweet pea, Laura wrote,
“Finding a plant with outstanding beauty and fragrance is a treat. Many roses, of course, offer this combination, but easier and far less demanding are old-fashioned sweet peas, which will trail and climb in your garden while emitting a delicious scent. Common name: Sweet Pea . Botanical name: Lathyrus odoratus.”
The Greek word lathyros means pea or pulse, and the Latin word odoratus means fragrant.
Today, Japanese varieties have the most abundant blooms, and some Australian varieties are frilly. Sweet peas are a long-lasting vase flower, which makes them quite popular with florists and brides.
Finally, in terms of floriography, or the language of flowers, sweet peas convey bliss and pleasure. They also mean saying goodbye after having a good time. Nothing says thank you like sweet peas.
Finally, of the sweet pea, John Keats wrote:
Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight;
With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,
And taper fingers catching at all things,
To bind them all about with tiny rings.
July 27 is Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day - a silly, light-hearted day that brought to mind these nonsense poems.
One fine October morning
In September, last July
The sun lay thick upon the ground
The snow shone in the sky
The flowers were singing gaily
The birds were full in bloom
So I went down to the cellar
To clean the upstairs room
There should be no monotony
In studying your botany;
It helps to train
And spur the brain--
Unless you haven't gotany.
It teaches you, does Botany,
To know the plants and spotany,
And learn just why
They live or die--
In case you plant or potany.
You learn, from reading Botany,
Of wooly plants and cottony
That grow on earth,
And what they're worth,
And why some spots have notany.
You sketch the plants in Botany,
You learn to chart and plotany
Like corn or oats--
You jot down notes,
If you know how to jotany.
Your time, if you'll allotany,
Will teach you how and what any
Old plant or tree
Can do or be--
And that's the use of Botany!

1949 Today is the birthday of the founder of the Greening of Harlem Coalition, Bernadette Cozart.
Bernadette was a professional gardener and urban gardening advocate.
She founded the Greening of Harlem Coalition in 1989. Her efforts transformed Harlem, bringing flower gardens and green spaces to areas previously covered by concrete and neglect.
It was Bernadette Cozart who said,
“Instead of taking children on field trips to see farms and gardens, why not bring nature into the community? I don't think it's fair that they should have to go outside the community to have that experience of seeing things grow.”

Pakistan Seeks Belarusian Technology for Dairy Sector
PAKISTAN - Pakistan has sought Belarusian technologies to improve milk processing and dairy production as a next step to the bilateral agreements signed three-year back to initiate agriculture technology projects.
"Pakistan is a big producer of dairy milk but (due to) the lack of technological advancements the desired results could not be attained," Federal Minister National Food Security and Research Sahibzada Mehboob Sultan said.
"It is quite intriguing that Republic of Belarus has ultra modern milk processing and dairy production technologies hence Pakistan could start joint ventures and make use of Belarusian technologies."
The Ambassador of Belarus to Pakistan Andrei Ermolovich along with scientists and members Ministry of Agriculture Belarus called on Minister Sultan, an official statement said.
Pakistan and Belarus signed a memorandum of understanding and intention in 2015, The News International. The basic purpose was to promote mutual cooperation in the field of agro-technology and research in areas identified mutually by both the governments: scientific cooperation and research, exchange of agro machinery and research in the field of cattle farming.
The joint working group (JWG) was also formulated to make progress in the identified areas. So far, four sessions of JWG have taken place, while the fifth session is expected to be held during the first quarter of next year.
Food minister said both the countries had identified almost 18 areas where the exchange of technologies could take place.
"We are eager to take it to the next level and start the projects jointly to get to that end," he said.
The areas were dubbed as vital for the uplift of farmers and agriculture. They include cattle breeding through advanced technological assistance and cooperation in genetic engineering, research in dairy production and processing, improvement of productive qualities of beef cattle and veterinary vaccine development.
"All these proposed areas/projects go parallel with the incumbent government’s vision about agro development in the country," Mr Sultan said. "We focus on increase in mutual turnover of agriculture goods."
The minister further said Belarusian machinery especially tractors are very famous in the country and in the last meeting the ambassador showed his interest to expand the scope of trade in the area and "we are ready to negotiate on those matters as well".
"Both the countries could work on harmonisation of veterinary standards," he added.
The minister expressed his satisfaction over the projects to be initiated in the light of proposals from the joint working group and assured that the ministry of food security would rigorously follow the process and bring it to fruition.
A considerable progress for the mutual venture has been made and sound proposals for cooperation in the areas of animal science, farm machinery and biotechnology along with relevant focal persons and institutions from both the sides have been finalised.
"The development of projects on the finalised proposal is also under process," the statement added. "The purpose of current visit of scientists from National Academy of Sciences Belarus is to finalise the projects and discuss the implementation mechanism as well."
The officials told the federal minister that Belarusian Agriculture Minister considers the collaboration very important and invited Pakistani officials to attend the international agro conference to be held in Belarus next year.

Eastern Province Livestock Farmers Implored on Quality, Quantity of Milk
RWANDA - The Minister for Agriculture and Animal Resources, Dr Gerardine Mukeshimana, has told farmers in Eastern Province that dairy production in the country is still wanting both in quantity and quality.
The minister was meeting livestock farmers, leaders of milk collection centres and veterinarians from the three districts of Gatsibo, Nyagatare and Kayonza.
The three districts are the powerhouse of milk production in Rwanda, but because they have the largest land earmarked for livestock farming, the agriculture minister said they are not doing enough.
"The milk output from this province compared to other regions is still insufficient given that you have the largest land mass earmarked for livestock farming, to be precise, the land is not being as productive as it ought to be," she said.
She pointed out Nyagatare, the largest district of the country, which has over 100,000 dairy cows.
Nyagatare has 16 milk collection centres (MCCs).
Figures from Nyagatare Dairy Farmers Union (NDFU) indicate that 9,358,428 litres of milk were collected from MCCs between June and December last year.
However, the collection centres rejected 1,688,506 litres because the milk was found lacking minimum standards.

Sony Xperia 5 II Shows Phones Don’t Need to be Huge to be Great | Review
This entry was posted on January 6, 2021 by samversionone, in Gadgets, Gear, & Camera Reviews, Gear & Gadgets, Reviews and tagged android phone, Smartphone, sony, sony xperia, Sony Xperia 5 II, Sony Xperia 5 II Review. Bookmark the permalink. Leave a comment
The trend with smartphones is that bigger is better, or that’s what they want you to think. To me, bigger means more expensive, and that doesn’t always translate into better. Some of us just don’t need huge phones, but often the trade-off with a smaller phone is less performance, battery power, and a mediocre screen. That’s not the case with the Sony Xperia 5 II. This is a small phone that packs the features and power of a much larger phone. Built for gaming, media creating, and media consumption, the Sony Xperia 5 II is a powerhouse that fits comfortably in your pocket.
The new Sony Xperia 5 II looks very much like the original Xperia 5. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to notice the difference, even upon close inspection. Sizing seems to be the same, button layout the same, and even the camera elements on the back seem to be the same. The only real difference I see here is that on the camera on the back, it says ZEISS on it and the front display looks a tiny bit different.
Not to say that’s a bad thing because the design of the Sony Xperia 5 II is pretty nice. It’s got curvy edges, rounded corners, and glass on both the front and rear. Like with most Xperia phones, all the buttons are located on the right-hand side. This includes the volume buttons, the combo power-fingerprint reader, camera button, and Google Assistant button. Some people might not like all the buttons on one side, but it does make them easier to reach with just your thumb.
I’ve said this before, but I wish other manufacturers would have a dedicated camera button on their phones like Sony does. It just makes photo-taking more natural and more like a regular camera. The placement of this is perfect in conjunction with where the cameras are located. Holding the phone horizontally very much feels like a point-and-shoot camera.
The Sony Xperia 5 II also brings back the audio jack for those who are still using wired headphones and earbuds. The original Xperia 5 had removed this, but it’s back again like it was on the Xperia 1 II. The speakers on the Xperia 5 II have also been moved where both speakers are now front-facing, making this better for media consumption without headphones.
Lastly, we can always appreciate the fact that the sim/memory card tray can be easily removed with your fingernail. There’s no need for a special sim tool to pop it out. The tray also doubles as a dual sim tray as well.
Overall, the design of the Sony Xperia 5 II is very clean and everything a modern smartphone should look like. While the display isn’t edge-to-edge, I appreciate not having any cameras cut into the display. I also like that the display doesn’t curve out over the edges which can make handling a phone difficult sometimes.
While very similar to the larger Sony Xperia 1 II, there are some differences in specs and hardware. First, let’s list a few of the more notable specs below, and then after we’ll talk about what’s different.
Google Android 10.0
Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform
USB Power Delivery (USB PD) fast charging
6.1″ CinemaWide Display, FHD+ HDR OLED (2520×1080)
120Hz Refresh Rate, 240Hz Motion blur reduction
12 MP (24mm) + 12 MP (70mm), OIS + 12 MP (16mm)
Qualcomm aptX HD audio
Water-resistant (IP65/68)
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band
Performance-wise, you’re looking at the same Qualcomm 865with 8GB RAM. Internal storage is now 128GB UFS however instead of the 256 that was in the Xperia 1 II. Luckily, you can still expand storage up to 1TB with a microSDXC card. What’s also interesting here is that the Sony Xperia 5 II also has a 4000mAh battery despite its smaller size.
One major difference here is the display. While the Sony Zperia 1 II had a 4K display running at only 60Hz, the Sony Xperia 5 II only has a FHD+ HDR display (2520×1080) but is capable of running at 120Hz. You’d be hard-pressed really to see the difference between the 4K display and FHD+ display, but you will notice a significant difference with the refresh rate. Everything here just seems more fluid and smooth with the higher refresh rate
If you’re a fan of wireless charging, you won’t find it here. While the Sony Xperia 1 II had it, the Sony Xperia 5 II doesn’t. Most likely they didn’t have the space for it. While this seems to be a notable omission, I’m sure there are a bunch of you out there who still don’t make use of it and would gladly forgo it for the smaller size.
The Sony Xperia 5 II runs Android 10, but has Sony’s launcher mainly running the show. The main addition to that is called “Side Sense.” Side Sense allows you to double-tap the side of the screen to bring up a shortcut menu with favorite apps, multi-window shortcuts, and other important shortcuts. It’s kind of neat to use, but most likely you’ll have to adjust the placement of the shortcut as well as the sensitivity of how it launches. Side Sense works a little bit better here on the Xperia 5 II and it’s mainly because of the size of the phone. It’s just easier to reach all the shortcuts as this truly is a phone you can use one-handed.
The Sony Launcher also has a Multi-Window feature allowing you to easily use two different apps at once. Only certain apps work though so you’ll have to play around with it to see which ones do and don’t.
The Sony Launcher allows for multiple users which I haven’t really seen to much on other smartphones. I guess this would be good if you had small children who wanted to use the device too, so you would set them up with their own home screen so they don’t go messing around with yours.
The launcher also has landscape mode for the home screen which is interesting, but not generally useful. You can also use all of Android’s new gesture navigations if you choose, or stick to the old three-button navigation bar.
The Sony Launcher might not be to everyone’s liking, but it’s also not terrible either. It’s workable and customizable enough where you should be able to get it to where you like it.
Lastly, while the Sony Xperia 5 II comes with Android 10, it is expected to get Android 11 pretty soon.
The cameras in the Xperia 5 II feature ZEISS optics which it didn’t have last year. There are three rear cameras feature a 16mm, f2.2 lens, a 70mm f2.4 lens, and a 24mm f1.7 lens. Each is mated to a 12MP sensor. The 24mm lens even features 3x optical zoom. This is pretty much the same as the Xperia 1 II, it just doesn’t have the 3D iToF sensor.
In terms of photo quality, it’s mainly what you’d expect from a flagship phone. Quality is good and the Xperia 5 II does a fairly good job with colors, exposure, and white balance. I did notice that focusing was a little off however when trying to snap a photo of something fairly close.
Below are some samples.
Check out more samples here on my Flickr album.
As you can see, the photos are pretty good. Very good quality with lots of detail and colors. I should mention that these are taken in full auto mode as well as the fact that there is no HDR mode you can choose manually. It seems to do it on its own. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the results.
I should note that there are two photo apps. The regular camera app works just fine while the Photo Pro app gives you a bit more control over how you take your photos. This functions almost like how a real camera would function so ultimately it’s up to you what you use. Both seem to produce similar quality photos.
Sony has marketed much of the Xperia 5 II towards gaming and rightfully so. The Xperia lineup is the official phone of the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship Tournament 2020 which is why it comes pre-loaded with the game. I will say that the Xperia 5 II handles games beautifully with no hiccups at all and playing games at 120Hz refresh rate is a joy. It’s very responsive too and the 21:9 screen ratio plays nicely with any game you throw at it.
The smaller size of the phone makes gaming a joy as well as it’s much easier to hold, this goes for both landscape and portrait mode games.
Sony’s software also includes a Game Enhancer which allows for various functions. You can record gameplay, take screenshots, and search for information about the game you’re playing. There’s also a Focus setting where you can hide notifications while you’re playing, lock the navigation bar and adaptive brightness, and disable the camera key. You can even free up available RAM for gaming. Lastly, you’re able to adjust the Game Mode for more performance or better battery life, or anything in-between.
There honestly hasn’t been much in terms of issues. The only thing I can really think of is that the screen isn’t quite as bright as I’d like it to be, mostly when I’m outdoors in bright sun. Indoors, the screen is perfect but when you’re outside, it can be a tad hard to see. This is my only real complaint.
The speakers on the Xperia 5 II are also quite good and having them relocated to the front means you won’t be covering up one of them anymore while holding the phone or gaming. This was a good decision by Sony and hopefully they continue this line of thinking with their future devices as well.
Aside from the screen being too dim in sunlight, everything else is just about perfect. This is one of the best phones that Sony has made. Even though it’s smaller than many new flagships, this is a pint-sized flagship that deserves its shot in the spotlight.
The Sony Xperia 5 II is a near-perfect phone. I like this even more than the larger Xperia 1 II despite not having a 4K display or wireless charging. The Xperia 5 II is just such a joy to hold and use thanks in part to its smaller size. I had forgotten just how nice it was to use a smaller phone and one where I didn’t need two hands to operate.
Aside from the size, the Xperia 5 II was capable of handling any app I threw at it. Performance is great for gaming and the 120Hz display keeps it all running smoothly. While not 100% perfect, it’s near close to it and is one of the best phones I’ve had the pleasure of testing out this year. The only minor negative might be the price. While cheaper than the Xperia 1 II, it’s still a little steep at $949.99. If you can overlook the price however, you’ll find that the Sony Xperia 5 II is a very good phone worthy of a spot at the top.

Top Dem: Trump troop increase claims 'a ruse'
By Rebecca Kheel - 05/30/17 05:08 PM EDT
© Greg Nash
The top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee is decrying Trump administration claims that its budget proposal would add 56,000 troops to the military, calling it a “ruse.”
“In keeping with President Trump’s habit of exaggeration, he has been telling Congress and journalists that his budget increases the size of the military by 56,000 service members,” Rep. Adam Smith David (Adam) Adam SmithOvernight Defense: Pentagon watchdog to probe extremism in US military | FBI chief warns of 'online chatter' ahead of inauguration | House conservative bloc opposes Austin waiver Conservative caucus opposes waiver for Biden's Pentagon pick 'I saw my life flash before my eyes': An oral history of the Capitol attack MORE (D-Wash.) said in a statement Monday.
“This is a ruse, because it doesn’t take into account the 24,000 active duty and 13,000 reservists that Congress added in last year’s enacted” National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Trump’s 2018 budget proposal would add 56,400 troops above what former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaFor Joe Biden, an experienced foreign policy team 'Nationalize' Facebook and Twitter as public goods Millennials and the great reckoning on race MORE had planned for fiscal 2018.
But Congress halted Obama’s planned drawdown with last year’s annual defense policy.
The NDAA passed by Congress and signed into law by Obama in December authorized a military of 2,121,858 troops for fiscal 2017.
Compared to the NDAA, Trump’s 2,129,900-troop military for fiscal 2018 would be an an increase of 8,042 troops.
Vice President Pence touted the 56,000 number during a commencement address at the Naval Academy last week.
The Pentagon, too, said the budget would increase end strength by 56,000, though it acknowledged that was due at least in part to the NDAA.
“What this budget does is pick up and sustains essentially increase in end strength over 56,000 from what the '18 column in the [fiscal year] '17 budget was,” John Roth, acting Pentagon comptroller, said during last week’s budget briefing. “To some extent, particularly the Army end strength increase, was inherent in the FY17 Authorization Act. We pick up and continue to fund that.”
In his Monday statement, Smith called the 8,000 figure the “real number” for the increase.
“This trend toward the use of misleading numbers in defense accounting is not a good thing,” Smith said.
Outside of Smith, defense hawks have also expressed disappointment in Trump’s $603 billion base defense budget proposal, saying it does not deliver the massive buildup he’s promised.
For example, the budget would keep the Army at the 476,000 soldiers authorized by the 2017 NDAA.
Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainThe best way to handle veterans, active-duty military that participated in Capitol riot Cindy McCain on possible GOP censure: 'I think I'm going to make T-shirts' Arizona state GOP moves to censure Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake MORE (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, slammed the lack of additional soldiers at a hearing last week.
“The president’s budget request is supposed to be focused on restoring readiness. The buildup, the administration says, will have to wait a couple of years,” he said.
“That ignores what Army leaders have testified to this committee, which is that inadequate end strength is forcing the Army to consume readiness as fast as it produces it. In other words, the Army will never truly restore readiness until it begins to grow. Yet the president has submitted a fiscal year 2018 budget request that calls for zero additional soldiers.”

Kafein Poetry Nite Hits the Triple Digits
Event Hits a Milestone of 100 Gatherings
Fringe ArtsMarissa Ramnanan — Published January 28, 2018

Music playing, people sway to the beat as they make conversation with the stranger beside them.
Coffee mugs and beer glasses alike clink together making the perfect playlist. At five to 9 p.m., the Kafein café-bar’s tiny basement is completely packed. People of all ages, races, and genders are under the same roof, in dim lighting, a safe space, sharing their love of language and poetry.
Poetry Nite celebrated its 100th show on Jan. 17, and the crowd bursting at the seams was there to celebrate with them.
The event started in July of 2013, and they have been happening almost every second Tuesday since, starting at 9 p.m,. Located on Bishop St., right by the Concordia downtown campus, a huge part of the audience is university students. But there is always diversity.
People keep streaming into the small venue throughout the entire night.
Daren Zomerman
“This event means a lot for me. I’ve been using poetry as a therapy and coping mechanism for mental health,” said Selena Mae, Poetry Nite co-host.
The mother of Kafein’s Poetry Nite, Ariana Molly, left her legacy to two co-hosts of the event, Mae and Jared Roboz about one year ago.
“I initiated the event as a job, and then it became more than a job,” said Molly.
Slowly but surely the poetry reading has been attracting all sorts of different people. At the beginning, it was all on Molly to do the public outreach to get readers. The audience and readers started off being her friends, and people in her cohort.
Over the years, it morphed into what it is—basically running itself. People are reaching out to the organizers in huge numbers to perform their work. As of now, for example, the lineup of performers is completely full, up until Feb. 27. The readers all vary in experience. For the performers, it is on a first come-first serve basis.
About one year has passed since Molly left for Australia and passed down her legacy. A slew of changes have transpired for the event, and with the co-hosts themselves.
Roboz is no longer a co-host of Poetry Nite, and Malek Yalaoui, co-founder of an annual poetry event featuring women of color called Sisters in Motion, began hosting alongside Mae in September.
Poetry Nite was on hold from Oct. 31 until Jan. 16 while Mae took time to refocus on their health, thus why their 100th show was pushed to last week. In the meantime, Dona La Luna, co-organizer of Sisters in Motion, will be hosting with Yalaoui.
Mae has heard echoes that Poetry Nite is really a space of healing now. Poetry has always been healing, but now they feel like it’s a “no holds barred, emotion fest, which is awesome,” they said. People feel very safe here, said Mae.
“What is it that Hemingway said? I open a vein and bleed into the typewriter, that is what poetry means to me.”— Selena Mae
“What is it that Hemingway said? I open a vein and bleed into the typewriter, that is what poetry means to me,” said Mae.
“We have performers who tell jokes, and people who retell personal traumatic events, and they make something beautiful out of it,” Mae continued. “I think poetry is just pure emotion. The event is really necessary.”
The only restrictions on the poetry that is performed is that there must be no discrimination. The works must not contain racism, ableism, transphobia or homophobia. It can be as political as you want it to be, but in a respectful manner.
Yalaoui was ecstatic with the opportunity to co-host the event for its 100th show.
“It’s pretty special and pretty amazing. Anyone who organizes an event knows how much work it is, and so it’s rare to get a series that is so sustainable and has that much longevity,” she said. “There are a few, but it’s really exciting to see Poetry Nite join their ranks.”
Mae explained that having two people who come from totally different communities and walks of life brings a lot more diversity to Poetry Nite. But they and Malek are a powerteam, they said. Without her, Mae said they would not have been able to get back onto their feet, and get this event running again.
But the co-hosts aren’t what makes the event special, Yalaoui explained. She thinks the co-hosts, readers, and audience members are what made the events so special in the first place.
“A lot of people are really invested in making Poetry Nite happen, and they’re the reason we’ve been able to make it this far,” she said.

« The State of Communication
From this month’s Jewish Observer »
The Goat for Azazel
Aharon shall place lots upon the two goats: one lot “for G-d” and one lot “for Azazel.” Aharon shall bring close the goat designated by lot for G-d and make it a sin-offering. And the goat designated by lot for Azazel shall be stood alive before G-d, to provide atonement though it, to send it to Azazel into the wilderness.
One of the most puzzling and disturbing rituals in Jewish practice is the goat “for Azazel” of Yom Kippur. Two goats are brought before the Kohein Gadol, the High Priest. By lot, one is chosen to be placed upon the altar as a sin-offering, and the other is chosen to be taken out into the desert and thrown alive off the edge of a sheer cliff.
What possible purpose could reside in such a practice?
In truth, the symbolism of this ritual is astonishingly simple and frighteningly relevant. The two goats, identical in every way, symbolize the two possible futures of a single human being. Like the two goats that appear indistinguishable from one another, the path any one of us will choose cannot be determined when we are young. Every child demonstrates qualities of virtue, and every child demonstrates qualities of selfishness. Which character will win out in the end can never be predicted with certainty.
Only over the course of a lifetime will it become evident whether the individual has chosen the path of righteousness, dedicating his life “to G-d,” like the goat offered up on the altar, or has chosen the path of wickedness, wandering through life into the spiritual wasteland of moral confusion and making himself into an offering “to Azazel.”
Rav Hirsch explains that the name Azazel can be understood as a composite of two words: az azal— “wasted strength.” Rather than devoting his life to the ways of virtue defined by G-d’s law, a person may use his human potential for self-serving ends, for pleasure seeking, for ego-gratification. By doing so, he squanders the resources of physical health, intellegence, and imagination for temporal rewards that leave him with nothing of value to show for his efforts. He will have wasted his life, as surely as the life of the goat flung over the precipace in the wilderness comes to a wasted end.
And, like that goat, his life will have served no purpose except as a warning to others. On this Day of Atonement, we have the opportunity to reflect upon our past and our future, to contemplate the awesome indictments of the Day of Judgment that we have only just survived, and to consider how we might still soften the verdict of the Celestial Court in determining our fate for the coming year. Will we choose to offer ourselves on the altar of divine service by committing ourselves to take greater care in our speech, in our actions, and in our thoughts, to show more consideration for our fellow men and conduct ourselves with modesty and humility? Or will we continue on as we have, like the goat wandering blindly into the wilderness of oblivion, persisting in the habits of spiritual and moral insensitivity that will lead us to the brink of eternal devastation?
It should be an easy choice. In fact, it’s as easy or as difficult as we make it.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau blames Ford for Toronto's gun violence

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s response to Toronto’s out-of-control gun violence, which last week claimed the life of an innocent 12-year-old boy, was to blame Ontario Premier Doug Ford for not allowing Toronto council to ban handguns.
It’s all part of the never-ending blame game by all levels of government passing the buck on escalating gun violence in Canada’s largest city.
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau blames Ford for Toronto's gun violence Back to video
On Friday, Trudeau criticized Ford (and other premiers) for not getting behind his idea of a new federal law giving municipalities the power to ban handguns, that would first require the province to give municipalities the power to enact it.
This in response to a question from the Toronto Star about the city’s latest innocent victim of gun violence, killed in broad daylight while walking home from shopping with his mother.
The Ford government, which would have to grant the power to Toronto council to ban handguns under Trudeau’s plan, is opposed, saying it will target legal gun owners, not criminals.
Toronto Mayor John Tory has supported a municipal handgun ban in the past, but his preferred option, and Toronto council’s, is for Trudeau to legislate a national handgun ban and toughen federal gun crime laws.
Of course, Trudeau’s proposed municipal handgun ban won’t work because 80% of the handguns used in urban street violence in Toronto are illegally smuggled in from the U.S..
In addition, armed gangsters who don’t fear the Criminal Code aren’t going to be deterred by a municipal bylaw banning handguns.
Ironically, Bill Blair, Trudeau’s public safety minister, back when he was Toronto police chief, implemented and championed an initiative against gun violence that worked.
Following a bloody year of shootings in Toronto in 2005, which became known as the “Year of the Gun,” Blair ramped up street checks (aka carding) and created a squad to combat gang violence, known as the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS).
From 2005 to 2014, shootings in Toronto dropped by 32% from 262 annually to 177. The number of people wounded and killed in shootings dropped by 55%, from 231 to 103.

After street checks were abandoned and TAVIS disbanded because of allegations they disproportionately targeted Blacks and thus were racist, shootings increased by 178% between 2014 and 2019, from 177 annually to 492. The number of people wounded and killed increased by 176%, from 103 to 284.
In 2014, Toronto’s gun violence was at its lowest level since police began compiling comparable data in 2004. Today it’s at its highest level.
So far this year there have been 425 shootings, the same pace as last year.
While the number of people killed and injured is down 19%, last year ended as the worst year for shootings in Toronto on record.
The Ford government, city council and the police services board could reinstitute street checks, which were never supposed to be scrapped.
The former Liberal provincial government was supposed to introduce a new regulation allowing police to continue streets checks — a fundamental tool of intelligence-gathering — while protecting the civil rights of those questioned by police.
But the regulation it produced was unworkable, written for lawyers according to the judge who reviewed it for the province.
Today, neither the Ford government nor Tory’s city council will touch the issue of reviving street checks because they’re terrified of being called racists by the “defund the police” crowd.
This even though it’s the Black community that is disproportionately victimized by gun violence.

Can anything Samuel Jarvis did be trusted?
Jim Windle
BIOGRAPHY Former Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Samuel Peters Jarvis, who orchestrated the questionable ‘surrender’ of the Haldimand Tract, was removed from office on May 10, 1845. Reports vary, but £9733.90 was unaccounted for when he left his post plus possible side deals never recorded. The controversial 1841 ‘surrender’ gave Jarvis, a known gambler, the right to sell
Former Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Samuel Peters Jarvis, who orchestrated the questionable ‘surrender’ of the Haldimand Tract, was removed from office on May 10, 1845. Reports vary, but £9733.90 was unaccounted for when he left his post plus possible side deals never recorded.
The controversial 1841 ‘surrender’ gave Jarvis, a known gambler, the right to sell off at will any Native land without consultation with traditional chiefs — that is, if the document was legal.
Questions of missing money and lack of accountability dogged his career almost from the day he took office in 1837 until he was finally removed.
His misappropriation of Native trust funds and lands, missing Crown funds, incomplete records and fraud, among other charges piled up until it became too obvious to cover up.
Rather than go through the national embarrassment of convicting a high ranking official of Upper Canada of these crimes, the government of the day quietly discharged him instead.
In 1839, Governor General George Arthur appointed James Buchanan Macaulay as commissioner of an inquiry into the goings on of Indian Affairs under Jarvis’ leadership.
Macaulay later described Jarvis in his report as “insufficiently diligent, active and zealous to supervise programs of Indian Affairs.” But with friends in high places, he dodged the bullet on that occasion.
Then in 1842, a few months after trying to float the 1841 ‘surrender’ of Six Nations territory on six chiefs signatures, another commission was struck to investigate Jarvis under allegations of bribery, fraud, religious discrimination and a general lack of concern for the people he was supposed to looking after the best interest for.
On that occasion irregularities in the books showed entries for warrants issued 18 months previous were made only days before the 1842 inquiry began. Large withdrawals from Six Nations Trust Funds were only recorded as “for use of the tribe” and without the obligatory signature of Six Nations Chiefs or and description of specific usage.
A number of large bank transfers from the government account to his personal account were never fully explained by Jarvis during the inquiry.
It wasn’t just the people of the Six Nations he was ripping off either. Historian Doug Leighton writes, “the commissioners were already dissatisfied with Jarvis’ conduct on several grounds.”
He chronicles that representatives from several other First Nations were complaining about Jarvis as well, particularly the Lake Simcoe Bands.
Allegations of favoritism, immoral behavior and lack of fiscal accountability arose from the Walpole Island region, from the Sarnias, Sable Island Band, and others. In February of 1843, a colleague informed Jarvis of a visit he received from an angry indigenous man.
“I had a visit from a David Waywaynosh who wants to know where the money for land sold to Cameron and Company is,” he wrote. “He also wants to know why there has been no statements of transactions.”
There was no action taken and soon Waywaynosh was back with support from Walpole Island squatters as well as Walpole Indians, Sable Island Indians, and the Sarnia Nations intent on exposing Jarvis.
John Loft from Six Nations was called in to testify at the second inquiry commission looking into allegations against Jarvis, but for unknown reasons was never heard.
Letters of complaint from the Snake Island Band are also on record.
But what about these bogus land deals? Where’s the money? Did the Chiefs know what they were signing, if they in fact signed the document at all?
These are questions the Canadian government and the people of Six Nations have been wrestling over since Jarvis orchestrated the later so-called surrender of 1844. Jarvis, the man, is every bit as controversial as the deals he is supposed to have made on behalf of Six Nations and other First Nations located in the newly formed Upper Canada.
The Archives of Ontario as well as those of Canada and United Empire Loyalists records reveal a lot about the man’s character which heavily shadows his purported dealings.
Law student, Samuel Jarvis was called to the bar in 1815 and two years later, faced murder charges after killing his 17-year-old neighbour John Ridout in a duel. Political friends of his father, William Jarvis saw to it that Samuel never saw the inside of a court because of it.
Before that, as student in Cornwall, Jarvis got into a fight with a young indigenous man and very nearly killed him. Since the Native people of that region were described by contemporaries a peaceful and polite people, except when insulted, it was speculated that Jarvis may have been the instigator.
He married Mary Boyles Powell and had nine children by her as he climbed the ladder of Upper Canadian political power.
Immediately after Jarvis attempted to push through the 1841 ‘surrender’, a formal letter of complaint was lodged by Six Nations Confederacy Chiefs calling for Jarvis’ removal from office.
The letter of complaint was addressed to Lord Prudhoe, who was stationed in Brantford at the time. He was asked to pass it on to Buckingham Palace on their behalf. As a courtesy to Jarvis, Prudhoe sent a letter to him asked for his comments on the allegations.
“The Chiefs of Six Nations want this complaint to the Queen to be registered,” Prudhoe told Jarvis. “They express their dissatisfaction over the surrender and the manner in which it was handled.”
In the same letter, the Six Nations also complained about the unauthorized investment of their Trust Funds in the sinking Grand River Navigation Company without any sign of benefit coming back to Six Nations. The flooding of their crops and homes with the installation of dams in and around Dunnville and Cayuga, was another bone of contention, as well as the usual complaint about Jarvis’ inaction in removing squatters from their territory, which was part of his mandate.
In 1842, Jarvis received a letter from Charles Bain suggesting that Jarvis never properly explained to the Six Nations Chiefs what they were agreeing to in some transactions and told him that the Confederacy Chiefs wanted an accounting of their funds since 1839.
The missing funds, poor records and fraudulent bookkeeping were symptoms of Jarvis’ deeper problems.
Despite having a good paying political position and coming into inheritance of a huge strip of land in Toronto (York) when his father William Jarvis died, the 1840’s saw Samuel Jarvis selling off most of his own property in Toronto and giving up his luxurious mansion on what is now Jarvis Street.
Embezzlement seemed to run in the family. His father, William Jarvis was also caught with his hand in the cookie jar when he served in the fledgling parliament of Upper Canada.
In February of 1843, knowing he was under investigation, Samuel Jarvis wrote his wife saying he would ”like to be free of this office, if I weren’t so deep in debt.”
Records and letters in the archives strongly suggest that Samuel Peters Jarvis was a gambling addict, which, if true, would account for his insatiable need for money and a strong motive to illegally sell off land and steal from the Six Nations Trust Fund.
After losing his job as Indian Affairs Superintendent, his money problems worsened but he and wife Mary seemed to ride along, obliviously keeping up appearances by making trips to Europe and living high on the hog until her death in 1884 and his in 1857.
Interestingly, Jarvis was fired for his many breaches of moral conduct but the deals he set up were never put under scrutiny and remain on the record, even today, as legally binding documents which Canada is now standing on when it comes to unresolved land claims.

We Tested 7 of the Top Neck Pillows to Save You From Waking up Stiff and Sore
Jordan Allen
We get it. You think there is no comfortable way to sleep on a plane — especially if you’re flying in economy.
You’ve tried all the basic positions: head tilted back, head slouched forward, head on window, head on a stranger’s shoulder, face down on the tray table and, of course, the fractured-necked giraffe. Either way, you wake up cramped, tired and sometimes to the frustrated demands of a flight attendant who has already told you multiple times to, “Please put your seat in the upright position for landing.”
But there’s a semi-solution for travelers crammed in the economy cabin known as the neck pillow. And in recent years, it’s really evolved.
Some of us are big proponents of the neck pillow. This humble contraption has saved many students from severe neck cramps during Ryanair-filled semesters abroad in Ireland. They’re often compact, plush and offer just the right amount of support so you can sleep sitting up without bothering anyone (or hurting yourself).
But not all pillows are created equal. That’s why a couple of us seasoned travelers at TPG tested out some of the most popular neck pillows on the market so you don’t have to. Here’s what we found.
Ostrich Pillow
The Design: Crazy, we know. This “pillow” looks like a scuba diving mask — or a space helmet. But the Ostrich has its perks. Designed to feel like cocoon, the best way to rest with the Ostrich is in that, “face down on the tray table” position we mentioned earlier. It’s pretty cozy, and it’s made of a high-quality combination of viscose and elastomer. There’s also an air hole in the center of the pillow so you don’t, you know, suffocate. Best of all, it reduces all light and ambient sound around you — so it’s basically a two-in-one pillow and sleep mask.
The Experience: It’s surprisingly comfortable, but the Ostrich is frankly pretty weird. The shape offers no neck support, it’s gigantic, there isn’t enough cushioning despite how big it is, and it’s not very packable. Because of the “cocoon” effect, it can feel extremely claustrophobic in there. But, really, the nail in the coffin was the price. At $99, it’s the most expensive product we reviewed on this list. Does anyone really need to spend that much on a neck pillow? You tell us.
Don’t Use: If you’re claustrophobic — or don’t want to shell out a Benjamin on a glorified neck pillow.
Best For: People who do not like any light or sound while trying to sleep.
The Verdict: 5/10
Buy: OstrichPillow.com, $99.00
Daydreamer Inflatable Neck Travel Pillow
The Design: Here, we have another innovator: the inflatable neck pillow. But save your breath — this pillow comes with a built-in pump (ba-dum-tss). Within 30 to 60 seconds, you can go from having a deflated handful of fabric to a full-on neck pillow that can be aerated to varying degrees of firmness. The Daydreamer comes with a pouch and is outfitted in a luxe, velvety material. It’s also machine washable and packs away the easiest out of any neck pillow we tested.
The Experience: In theory, this pillow sounds like a home run, but it somehow falls short. Here’s why: It’s inflatable, which makes it ultra easy to pack and somewhat customizable. But it doesn’t really maintain its firmness as you wear it. It deflates slowly over time, thus decreasing the amount of neck support it delivers. The pump is also a struggle — you have to squeeze hard, and quite a few times, to get the pillow to your desired firmness. But hey — could be good for a quick in-flight workout?
Don’t Use: If you have carpal tunnel, or need a lot of support throughout a long-haul flight.
Best For: Arm day, or travelers seeking a bargain (it’s one of the least expensive neck pillows we tested).
Buy: Amazon.com, $14.25 (as of 4/20/2019 4:00pm EST — Details)
Huzi Infinity Pillow
The Design: Huzi is one of a few products we tested that really strayed from the traditional memory-foam, U-shaped style most of us envision when we think of a neck pillow. It features a durable and super, super soft bamboo fabric, which is machine-washable, hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial.
The Experience: What makes the Huzi interesting is its “versatile design.” Simply put: it’s a stuffed infinity scarf. Yes, you can wrap it around your neck and call it a day, but you can also use it as a window or desk pillow, for additional back support, or wrap it around your face like eye mask that also muffles noise. But there’s a reason that neck pillows have that traditional shape. The length of the Huzi is just a lot to deal with, and it can be awkward and bulky when you’re in an upright sleeping situation.
Don’t Use: If you’re looking to travel light. The Huzi doesn’t pack up all that easily.
Best For: If you’re looking something that can multitask.
Trtl Travel Pillow
The Design: So, the Trtl is just straight up not a pillow. If anything, it’s more like a neck brace. Or a thick scarf with one hard side. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a contender. This adjustable, er, thing claims to be “scientifically proven” to hold your neck in a better position than the standard U-shaped travel pillow. It’s got a patented design.
The Experience: Despite that fact that it’s lightweight, soft, easily packable and keeps your head and neck in a pretty good position — it’s just not really all that comfortable. Also, since it’s essentially a fleece scarf, it gets really hot under there. When it’s wrapped around your neck and you try to “rest” your cheek on it, it sort of feels like you’re putting your face on a shelf. Trust us: It’s pretty off-putting. But it is one of the more affordable products we reviewed.
Don’t Use: If you prefer to rest your head on something cushy, or if you’re the kind of person who gets hot easily.
Best For: People who are looking to travel light. The profile is slim enough for a passenger sleeping in a super-cramped, low-cost carrier’s cabin.
Travelrest Ultimate Memory Foam Pillow
The Design: This neck pillow is pretty basic. U-shaped memory foam that’s equipped with a velour cover — the Travelrest doesn’t mess with many gimmicks. Its biggest selling point is an adjustable velcro strap at the front that allows for some customization. It also comes with earplugs. But, other than that, it’s a pretty standard neck pillow.
The Experience: We liked this one. The shape, while it seems pretty archetypal, is actually a bit taller than the average neck pillow, which provides a comfortable resting position with fantastic neck support. It also has a sneaky dip in the back that cradles the head nicely. Objectively, this might not be the pillow for you if you like to sleep on a softer surface. The memory foam is definitely on the stiff side, which also makes it bulky and difficult to pack. Another con? The pillow didn’t maintain its quality after being washed.
Don’t Use: If you have a short neck, or prefer a softer pillow.
Best For: People who like to sleep on a hard pillow, and are willing to spend a bit more on travel accessories.
The Verdict: 7.5/10
BCOZZY Travel Pillow
The Design: The BCOZZY pillow, while it looks pretty basic in the photos, actually offers a fair degree of flexibility. Known for its chin support, you can switch up the BCOZZY’s shape to wrap around the whole neck, elevate just one side of your head, or fold it in half if you want to give your skin some breathing space. It also comes in multiple sizes, so your kids can have a comfortable up-right sleep too — if you can get them to sit still.
The Experience: This pillow was very comfortable and very supportive. It keeps the head upright without pushing it forward, which is a plus. But one of the issues we encountered when testing the BCOZZY was that it doesn’t stay in place and has a tendency to unwrap. When using the chin support, it can also be a bit hot on the neck.
Don’t Use: If you tend to overheat on airplanes, because when the neck pillow is wrapped all the way around, things tend to get sweaty.
Best For: Restless, fidgety people who are moving around and shifting positions during the flight anyway and people who really do require additional chin support, because a lot of traditional U-shaped neck pillows lack in this department.
Aeris Travel Pillow
The Design: It’s a straightforward, supportive memory foam neck pillow. It’s also compact and easily portable. It has a drawstring in the front (admittedly, we’re not sure this has a purpose) and a velvety lining that feels nice against your skin. And it’s black, so it matches everything. Aeris also throws in an additional eye mask and earplugs with your pillow purchase — which we love, of course.
The Experience: There isn’t much to say that’s specific about the Aeris. It’s just a basic, comfortable neck pillow. It does its job, just like it should. If you want an example of how powerful that simplicity is, TPG’s creative director, Isabelle Raphael, selected this pillow out of all of the others we tested to take with her on a trip to Australia from New York. One annoyance we had is that the Aeris is a hassle to fit back into the portable pouch. Other than that, it’s, well, a neck pillow.
Don’t Use: If you don’t have room to pack it. The pouch helps, but it’s not the most compact pillow.
Best For: Pretty much everyone who likes using neck pillows.
Comfort is subjective. There are people out there who enjoy sleeping with the fan and the AC on, after all. So, when picking a neck pillow, consider how you like to sleep at home. Prefer a stiff pillow? Try out the Travelrest. Can’t stand any noise or light when you’re trying to sleep? The Ostrich might be for you (if your neck pillow budget is limitless, of course). But sometimes, simple really is better: The most successful neck pillows we tested were the most traditional. Sweet dreams!

Medical implants often fail as a result of so-called foreign body reactions during which inflammatory cells are recruited to implant surfaces. Despite the clinical importance of this phenomenon, the mechanisms involved in these reactions to biomedical implants in humans are not well understood. The results from animal studies suggest that both fibrinogen adsorption to the implant surface and histamine release by local mast cells are involved in biomaterial-mediated acute inflammatory responses. The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis in humans.
Thirteen male medical student volunteers (Caucasian, 21–30 years of age) were employed for this study. To assess the importance of fibrinogen adsorption, six volunteers were implanted with polyethylene teraphthalate disks pre-coated with their own (fibrinogen-containing) plasma or (fibrinogen-free) serum. To evaluate the importance of histamine, seven volunteers were implanted with uncoated disks with or without prior oral administration of histamine receptor antagonists. The acute inflammatory response was estimated 24 hours later by measuring the activities of implant-associated phagocyte-specific enzymes.
Plasma coated implants accumulated significantly more phagocytes than did serum coated implants and the recruited cells were predominantly macrophage/monocytes. Administration of both H1 and H2 histamine receptor antagonists greatly reduced the recruitment of macrophages/monocytes and neutrophils on implant surfaces.
In humans – as in rodents – biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses involve at least two crucial events: histamine-mediated phagocyte recruitment and phagocyte accumulation on implant surfaces engendered by spontaneously adsorbed host fibrinogen. Based on these results, we conclude that reducing fibrinogen:surface interactions should enhance biocompatibility and that administration of histamine receptor antagonists prior to, and shortly after, medical device implantation should improve the functionality and longevity of medical implants.
Implanted devices are increasingly important in the practice of medicine. In an NIH news release dated January 5th 2000, it was estimated that 8 to 10 percent of the U. S. population currently have permanent medical implants [1]. Although most implant materials are inert, non-immunogenic and non-toxic, devices made of such materials often trigger a variety of adverse reactions. These include surface-mediated thrombosis associated with blood contact surfaces [2], complement activation induced by haemodialysis membranes [3], inflammation surrounding many types of implants [4], device-centered infections [5] and fibrotic tissue formation around tissue implants and prostheses [6]. These complications may cause the failure of many types of medical implants, often requiring surgical removal and replacement, increasing both the risk to patients and the cost of health care. Consequently, intensive research efforts have been devoted to the development of novel strategies to improve tissue compatibility of medical devices. However, improvements in biocompatibility have been hindered by our lack of understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in human tissue responses to biomaterial implants.
Because biomaterials spontaneously accumulate a layer of adsorbed plasma proteins prior to inflammatory cell accumulation, it is widely accepted that the types and species of adsorbed proteins play an important role in the pathogenesis of biomaterial-mediated acute inflammatory responses. Using an animal implantation model, we earlier found that spontaneously adsorbed (and partially denatured) fibrinogen is a critical mediator of acute inflammatory responses to biomaterial implants [7]. In support of this, we observed much less phagocyte accumulation on the surfaces of serum-coated implants than on implants coated with plasma. As a more direct test, hypo-fibrinogenemic mice were generated with repeated ancrod injection. Biomaterial implants in these mice failed to accumulate adherent phagocytes (unless the implants were pre-coated with murine fibrinogen) [7]. We subsequently found that, following initial adsorption on hydrophobic biomaterial surfaces, fibrinogen undergoes conformational changes which expose previously occult epitopes on the gamma chain of fibrinogen ('P1' (γ190–202) and 'P2' (γ377–392)) [8, 9]. These newly exposed epitopes are responsible for triggering the recruitment and activation of phagocytes, early events in the cascade of events involved in foreign body reactions.
In mice, the initial recruitment of inflammatory cells to experimental implants is mediated by histamine. Mast cell deficient mice showed greatly diminished phagocyte accumulation on implants and administration of H1 and H2 receptor antagonists to normal mice substantially reduced phagocyte recruitment [10].
Despite these earlier observations, it has remained uncertain whether adsorbed fibrinogen and histamine release play similar roles in triggering foreign body reactions in humans. The goal of this investigation was to determine whether these earlier results in animal models were directly pertinent to humans given experimental biomaterial implants.
Test materials and chemicals
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, type A, 0.005 mm thick, was obtained from Cadillac Plastic and Chemical (Birmingham, MI, USA). All other reagents were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St Louis, MO, USA).
Preparation of uncoated and protein-coated PET disks
The PET film was cut into circular disks of 12 mm diameter with punch and die set (Precision, Downers Grove, IL). The punch and die set was sharpened prior to cutting to ensure smooth edge. The disks were first cleaned with multiple changes of 100% ethanol to remove the residual fibers and debris. The disks were then washed with several changes of 70% ethanol and then autoclaved at 125°C for 15 minutes. To test the importance of surface fibrinogen in the aetiology of biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses, 20 ml of venous blood from each volunteer was drawn into collection tubes with and without anticoagulant (sodium heparin). The heparinized blood tubes were centrifuged at 200 × g for 10 minutes to produce plasma. Clot tubes without anticoagulant were cooled to 4°C for 120 min to allow for blood coagulation and then centrifuged to produce sera. The PET disks were incubated in plasma or serum from each volunteer overnight (12 h) under sterile conditions in sealed vials in an incubator at 37°C. The protein-coated disks were thoroughly washed in sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) before implantation.
Human volunteers
We recruited 13 healthy male Caucasian medical student volunteers aged 21–30 years. They were divided into two groups where 6 (average age = 24.5 years) took part in experiments on the effects of histamine receptor antagonists and 7 (average age = 23.8 years) were involved in studies of the effects of fibrinogen. None of the volunteers had taken any medication for two weeks prior to the experiments. These studies were approved by the Human Ethics Committee of the Linköping University Hospital. Following written and oral instruction, all volunteers gave written consent to their participation.
Experimental setup
Effects of fibrinogen (n = 7)
Day 1: Withdrawal of blood to obtain plasma and sera. PET disks were incubated with plasma and sera for 12 hours.
Day 2: Implantation of an autologous plasma coated disk in the left arm and an autologous serum coated disk in the right arm of all 7 volunteers.
Day 3: Explantation of both disks after 24 hours.
Antihistamine treatment (n = 6)
Day 1: Implantation of an uncoated disk in the right arm.
Day 2: Explantation of the disk after 24 hours. The same patients were immediately given 10 mg of the H1 histamine receptor antagonist Cetirizine and 20 mg of the H2 histamine receptor antagonist Famotidine, both per os. Two hours later, a new uncoated disk was implanted in the left arm. The administration of Famotidine was repeated 12 hours after the first dose to ensure an adequate plasma level of the drug and continuous histamine receptor blockade.
Day 3: Explantation of the second disk after 24 hours implantation.
Surgical procedure for biomaterial implantation
After sterile preparation and disinfection of the skin on the inside of the upper arm with 0.02% chlorhexidine and 70% ethanol, local anaesthesia was performed using 1 ml lidocaine (10 mg/ml). A transverse 15 mm long incision was made 5 min after injection of the anaesthetic and a small subcutaneous pocket formed. A sterile PET disk, either coated or uncoated, was then placed in the pocket and the skin was closed using sterile tape (Steristrips®, 3 M). Explantation was performed 24 h after implantation as follows: the wound-tape was removed, the wound edges separated and the disks removed with a forceps for later analyses. The skin was then closed with sterile tape. The 24 hour time period was chosen because our earlier investigations in mice indicated that in a subcutaneous implantation model this was the time of maximal accumulation of PMN and MØ. A pilot study was also carried out in 2 human volunteers (in addition to the 13 human volunteers mentioned above). The results from this limited preliminary human trial indicated that 24 hour-implantation is appropriate to assess acute inflammatory responses to biomaterial implants in humans. However, we should note that it is not presently known whether this represents the time of maximal phagocyte accumulation.
Throughout the study, no voluteer had prominent signs of inflammatory reactions and erythema in or around the implantation sites. Because of the localized and minimal inflammatory responses, it is unlikely that the tissue responses to the first implants would affect responses to the second implants in the same volunteers.
Analyses of biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses
Immediately following explantation, the PET disks were washed with isotonic PBS. To reduce the edge effect on the quantification of implant-associated inflammatory responses, the edges of all explanted disks were cleaned by sliding the edges of the disks across tissue paper to dislodge cells adherent to the implant edge. The disks were then placed in 0.6 ml of 1% (vol/vol) Triton X-100 for 1 hour to release cytoplasmic and granular enzymes from implant-associated cells [7–10]. Because biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses are reflected by the accumulation of phagocytes on implant surfaces, the number of adherent phagocytes was taken as a measure of the extent of foreign body reactions. Implant-associated myeloperoxidase (MPO) and non-specific esterase (NSE) were quantified to assess the numbers of adherent polymorphonuclear neutrophils [PMN] and macrophages/monocytes [MØ], respectively.
MPO was measured by the guaiacol reaction [7–10] in the presence of 1 mM (final concentration) 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole to inhibit eosinophil peroxidase [11]. Total MPO activity was taken as a measure of surface associated PMN. Control studies on purified PMN from human venous blood indicated that the MPO activity of human peripheral PMN is about 45 nU/cell.
Non-specific esterase (NSE), a cytoplasmic enzyme, resides specifically in monocytes/macrophages [12] and was used to assess the numbers of adherent MØ [7–10]. NSE activity was determined by measuring the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate [13] in the presence of a cholinesterase inhibitor, eserine (10 mM, final concentration) [14]. Control studies on human peritoneal macrophages (recovered from peritoneal lavage fluids from patients being given chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) indicated that the NSE activities of human MØ are about 20 nU/cell.
Statistical and power analyses
As the results were normally distributed, paired Student's t-test was used. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. The power analyses of the number of test subjects were carried out using G* power 3 program [15].
Importance of fibrinogen adsorption in implant-mediated acute inflammatory response in humans
To determine the importance of implant-bound fibrinogen in triggering biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses in humans, PET disks precoated with the plasma or serum of each volunteer were implanted subcutaneously and then retrieved 24 hours later. As was true in the mouse model, plasma-coated surfaces accumulated many more PMN and MØ compared to serum-coated disks. The average numbers of adherent PMN and MØ on plasma-coated surfaces were 4–5 fold higher than those on serum-coated disks (Figure 1.A). Interestingly, and in contrast to mice, the majority (>95%) of implant-associated phagocytes were MØ (possibly a function of differences in the site of implantation – intraperitoneal in mice and subcutaneous in humans). Perhaps most importantly, the aggregate numbers of adherent phagocytes (PMN+MØ) on plasma coated surfaces were significantly higher than those on serum coated surfaces (Figure 1.B). Power analyses were carried out using G* power 3 and the results indicated that 7 volunteers recruited for this investigation were sufficient to achieve power = 0.8 and alpha = 0.05 in all comparisons (i.e., PMN, MØ and PMN + MØ numbers).

(B) The estimated numbers of adherent PMN, MØ, and total phagocytes (PMN+ MØ) were calculated. Vertical lines denote ± 1 Standard Deviation. Significance vs. plasma-coated disks: * p < 0.05.
Importance of histamine in implant-mediated inflammatory responses in mice and humans
In previous work with the mouse implantation model, we found that histamine receptor antagonists could be used to reduce biomaterial-mediated acute inflammatory responses [Error! Bookmark not defined.] and that the simultaneous administration of H1 and H2 histamine receptor antagonists greatly decreased the numbers of implant-associated PMN and MØ. As was true in mice, administration of a combination of H1 and H2 histamine receptor antagonists suppressed the accumulation of both PMN and MØ on subcutaneous implants in humans (Figure 2). The accumulation of PMN (p = 0.016), MØ (p = 0.011), and aggregate numbers of PMN + MØ (p = 0.011) was significantly less on uncoated PET disks implanted in volunteers treated with the histamine receptor antagonists compared with implants in the same volunteers without antihistamine treatment. G* 3 power analyses were also carried out in this case and revealed that 6 patients were sufficient to achieve power >0.8 and alpha = 0.05.

The implantation of medical devices often leads to foreign body reactions which are driven by the accumulation and activation of inflammatory cells. These acute inflammatory responses are very often followed by chronic inflammation and fibrosis [16]. These reactions have been linked to the degradation and failure of many types of implants, including pacemaker leads [17], mammary prostheses [18], temporomandibular [19] and other joint implants [20]. To improve the biocompatibility and safety of medical devices, intensive research efforts have been placed on the development of biomaterials with enhanced tissue compatibility. However, such efforts have been hindered by the lack of knowledge of the mechanisms governing foreign body reactions.
In an attempt to understand these basic mechanisms, we earlier carried out a series of experiments using a murine implantation model [4, 7–10]. Our investigations revealed that, rapidly following implantation, biomaterial surfaces become covered with a layer of host proteins. We found that the adsorption and later "denaturation" of fibrinogen is the main factor in triggering biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses in mice [7]. Furthermore, it appeared that histamine release by mast cells in the vicinity of the implant was important in facilitating the recruitment of inflammatory cells inasmuch as both mast cell deficient mice and mice treated with histamine receptor antagonists had greatly reduced acute inflammatory responses to implanted biomaterials.
However, it was not clear whether these processes, found to be important in mice, might be similarly crucial in humans with implanted biomaterials. As a first test of this, we have examined the importance of adsorbed fibrinogen in prompting foreign body reactions in human volunteers. As was true in the earlier murine model, plasma coated implants attracted significantly more phagocytes than did serum coated implants in humans. The process of inflammatory cell recruitment – in both mice and humans – likely involves the tendency of fibrinogen to adsorb and subsequently denature on the hydrophobic surfaces of biomedical polymers [7]. The "denaturation" of adsorbed fibrinogen is particularly important inasmuch as it leads to the exposure of two epitopes on the fibrinogen gamma chain (P1 and P2) which are normally occult in soluble fibrinogen. The exposure of these short sequences is required for both the adhesion and activation of phagocytes [8, 9]. Indeed, the degree of P1/P2 exposure engendered by different types of biomedical polymers predicts the extent of biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses [9]. Furthermore, it appears that the interaction between phagocytes and surface P1/P2 epitope is via the Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) integrin, which is upregulated on inflammatory cells recruited to the site of the implant [21, 22].
Our earlier animal studies also indicated that histamine, released from activated mast cells, is critical to the recruitment of phagocytes to both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal implants [10]. This is in accord with numerous observations that biomedical implants trigger both edematous and hyperemic responses typically mediated by histamine. The pro-inflammatory effects of the released histamine evidently involve both H1 and H2 receptors [10]. In the present experiments on humans, we observed that treatment with a combination of H1 and H2 receptor antagonists reduced by more than 80% the accumulation of phagocytes on implant surfaces as was also true in the murine models. Since histamine exerts its action on capillary permeability and phagocyte transmigration through endothelial barrier [23, 24], it is likely that histamine receptor antagonists diminish initial phagocyte recruitment probably through suppression of implant-mediated hyperemia and loosening of the endothelial barrier. This suggests that histamine antagonist administration shortly before and after the placement of biomedical implants in humans may lessen the phagocyte-mediated foreign body responses and later reactions such as fibrotic capsule formation around implanted medical devices.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental study on the molecular determinants of biomaterial-mediated acute inflammatory responses in humans. The results support the general conclusion that biocompatibility might be improved by the design of surfaces which reduce fibrinogen adsorption and denaturation. The incubation of medical devices with patient's serum may also reduce foreign body reactions to the implants. Furthermore, our results confirm the importance of histaminic responses in the pathogenesis of biomaterial-mediated inflammatory responses. These latter observations may have practical implications, in that treatment of implant recipients with histamine receptor antagonists could be used to limit both acute inflammatory responses and later fibrotic reactions (which may directly stem from the acute responses). Patients who might benefit from such antihistamine treatment include those being treated with joint implants, breast implants, tissue engineering implants and drug delivery devices.

UK: New Flexibility For PE-backed Businesses To Access Financial Support Schemes
by Helen Croke and Andrew Howard
Ropes & Gray LLP
New rules making the UK Government's financial support schemes more accessible to PE-backed businesses.
The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (“CBILs”) and the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (“CLBILs”) were introduced by the UK Government as part of its financial support measures designed to help businesses weather the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both schemes have the UK Government guaranteeing commercial loans from accredited private lenders to eligible businesses.
The CBILs scheme is available to eligible companies with a turnover of less than £45,000,000 and fewer than 250 employees. Eligible companies can borrow up to £5,000,000, in the form of term debt, invoice finance, asset finance and revolving credit facilities. Loans provided by accredited lenders under the scheme benefit from a UK Government-backed guarantee of 80% of the loan value.
The CLBILs scheme is available to eligible companies that exceed the turnover and employee criteria for CBILs. The scheme will guarantee 80% of loans of up to £200million in term loans and up to £50million in invoice finance and revolving credit facilities. For both CBILs and CLBILs schemes, borrowers have to meet the specific eligibility criteria.
So far, most private equity-backed businesses have been unable to take advantage of either scheme, because their funding structures have fallen foul of EU state-aid rules. The schemes' rules have now changed so that PE-backed businesses now may be able to access UK Government's financial support.
EU State Aid Rules
Under EU state-aid rules, companies that are “undertakings in difficulty” are not eligible for the CBILs and CLBILS schemes. Please see details in box below. This includes businesses whose accumulated losses are greater than half their share capital (as well as businesses that have fallen below required solvency ratios for the previous two years). This includes a debt to equity ratio and EBITDA tests. Typically, the levels of debt carried by PE-backed businesses (whether external or shareholder debt) and the related interest payments can result in a breach of the accumulated losses threshold, even if the business is operating well. This has prevented PE-backed businesses from accessing the schemes. Equally, the solvency ratios may cause issues in practice - although the business would have to fall beneath both the EBITDA level as well as the debt to equity ratio.
These rules has prevented operationally viable private equity-backed companies from accessing the schemes because they have been inadvertently triggered by a company's leveraged funding structure – due to high level of debt on balance sheets – irrespective of whether the company is operating on other metrics.
The “undertaking in difficulty” test was relaxed for businesses with fewer than 50 employees and less than £9,000,000 annual turnover. Such businesses are no longer deemed to be “undertakings in difficulty”, if their accumulated losses exceed half of their share capital. But they will still be “undertakings in difficulty”, if they are subject to collective insolvency procedure under their national law or in receipt of rescue aid (which has not been repaid) or restructuring aid (and are still subject to a restructuring plan).
The British Business Bank has now taken a further step towards making CBILs and CLBILs available for larger private-equity-backed businesses. The date on which the banks will assess whether a company is an “undertaking in difficulty” is now the date you apply for the loan – not 31 December 2019. This will give private equity-backed companies the chance to restructure their balance sheets to avoid a technical breach of the “undertakings in difficulty” test, although there may be other consequences of doing so.
Restructuring to Access the Schemes
Any balance sheet restructuring will most likely involve the conversion of shareholder loan notes into equity shares before making an application for a CBIL or CLBIL.
The restructuring must be tax-neutral for both PE investors and the company. From the company's perspective, it should be possible to use the debt for equity swap exemption, but care will need to be taken to make sure that the new shares are not fixed rate preference shares as these will not fall within the exemption. For UK investors, the provisions for tax-free conversion of securities are likely to assist and the availability of similar rollover provisions for investors in other jurisdictions will need to be investigated.
Withholding tax will also need to be considered if there is accrued but unpaid interest and the loan notes are not listed. It may be pragmatic to leave accrued interest outstanding until an exit. Care will also be needed to make sure that the restructuring does not result in any accidental de-grouping for tax purposes or adversely impact any remuneration planning for managers.
If the group is still benefitting from tax deductions on shareholder debt (regardless of recent changes), this benefit will be lost on any loan notes which are converted into preference shares.
It may also be advisable in these financial circumstances for the PE investor to keep some shareholder debt so that it is a creditor in any insolvency situations.
Companies will obviously need to consider whether applying with a later date means that they are ineligible because their financial circumstances have worsened, which may have particular impact on the solvency ratios referred to above.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on Thursday 24 September 2020 as part of his Winter Economy Plan that both the CBILS and CLBILS are extended to 30 November 2020.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer also announced that CBILS lenders will be able to extend the repayment date of loans from six years to 10 years if it will help businesses to repay the loans.
Undertakings in difficulty
This definition will capture businesses that:
Have accumulated losses greater than half of their subscribed share capital (for limited liability companies)
Have entered into collective insolvency proceedings or fulfilled the criteria to be put into collective insolvency proceedings
Have previously received rescue aid and were still under a restructuring plan
Have previously received restructuring aid and were still undera restructuring plan
Have fallen below both the required book debt to equity and EBITDA interest coverage ratios for the previous two years

Developers left out in the cold as National Grid lockout continues
Erin Tiernan Erin Tiernan The Patriot Ledger @ErinTiernan
Thousands of housing units and dozens of businesses across the state are sitting empty as developers are held hostage by a moratorium on the natural gas line work they need to get their buildings open after National Grid locked out its union workers nearly six months ago.
QUINCY — Hillside Residences, a new luxury apartment building on a quiet side street in Quincy Center, has amenities including a roof deck, a private gym and top-of-the-line appliances. It's missing only one thing: people.
Tenants were supposed to move into the 60-apartment building on Bridge Street on Sept. 1, but a nearly six-month lockout of National Grid workers, along with state and city moratoriums on new gas connections, means the building has no heat. Without heat, there can be no tenants, so the building sits empty, costing the developer, real estate agents and city thousands in lost income and tax revenue.
Industry experts say the lockout is affecting large and small construction projects throughout the 85 Massachusetts communities served by National Grid and is having a chilling effect on the region's development, economy and housing market.
Quincy is losing money on housing projects that cannot be fully taxed until they are occupied, roadwork has been delayed because there is no way to upgrade underlying gas lines, new public buildings may not open on schedule and new businesses can't open or must find alternative, more costly ways to provide heat.
Some businesses are finding a temporary fix in propane.
Quincy fire Capt. Roger Kineavy said the fire department has issued 15 permits for propane gas storage since June, more than double the number issued in the first half of the year.
"We've definitely seen a spike," he said, noting most permits were for temporary propane storage, which indicates they are workarounds until natural gas hookups become available.
ConvenientMD in Weymouth made the switch to propane to get its new building open for business. The urgent care company based in New Hampshire is making a massive push into Massachusetts, with six clinics opening within the next year. The clinic on Main Street in Weymouth opened this week.
Company construction director Ryan Hanson said that when natural gas hookup was unavailable for the Dec. 6 opening, he retrofitted the building's hardware for propane heat at a $15,000 cost to the company. It's only a temporary fix, and Hanson said he'll have to pay again once natural gas becomes available. Propane also costs almost twice as much as natural gas. Still, it's worth the expense, he said.
"We started hiring our staff nine months to a year in advance. We hired nurses, doctors, medical technicians with the knowledge that we would be open on this date. We were going to have to start paying them whether we are open or not."
National Grid locked out 1,200 union workers on June 25 after contract negotiations failed. The gas utility company brought in contract workers, but many cities and towns, including Quincy, imposed local moratoriums on non-emergency gas work.
On Oct. 8, the state Department of Public Utilities followed suit, halting all non-critical line work pending a review of the company's safety practices when a contract worker doing routine maintenance in Woburn inadvertently over-pressurized the system. Excess pressure in the gas line was also the suspected cause of the Columbia gas line explosions in the Merrimack Valley earlier this year.
It's hard to put an exact number on development projects affected by the moratorium, but National Grid spokeswoman Danielle Williamson said a backlog of new installations prior to the state moratorium was 20 percent greater than the same time period the previous year.
"Though we’d been completing many connections up until that point, by no means were we working at the same pace we would be if our normal workforce were in their jobs," she said.
The lockout has left developers in limbo, said Alex Walsh of Access Real Estate, the company hired to lease Hillside Residences in Quincy.
"We're stuck with a property we can't sell," he said.
Access Real Estate's deal with Hillside Residences should have netted the 20-person firm $150,000 in commissions. Instead, Access has had to return deposits to roughly 20 would-be tenants who got fed up waiting for a move-in date.
"I can't even imagine the trickle-down to the economy this is having. People were going to move in here that now can't. There are local businesses that would have benefited from having 60 new residences here and tax revenue to the city that isn't being seen," Walsh said.
Peter McLoughlin of Boston Property Ventures, which developed Hillside Residences, estimates he's losing about a quarter of a million dollars for every month the 23 Bridge St. building sits empty.
"There is a big ripple-down effect," McLoughlin said. "The real estate agents that worked on the sales, they don't get their fees, the dozens of people who put down deposits, had their credit run and spent time and energy to find a new home can't move in."
Hillside Residences is not the only Quincy apartment building held up because of the lockout. A 56-apartment building developed by Sean Galvin on Hancock Street has also been affected.
City projects are also feeling the effects, Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch said.
Earlier this year, city councilors approved a $17 million road paving bond. Work on eight roads started over the summer before the lockout began, but city workers are now unable to close and repave the roads because National Grid must first upgrade the gas lines.
“The roads are going to be just sitting there open waiting for the gas work,” Quincy public works Commissioner Al Grazioso told city councilors last month.
The lockout and moratorium could also push back the opening of the city's new South-West Middle School, which will replace Sterling Middle School. The new building is supposed to open to students in April, but Koch said he worries that date could come and go if the National Grid lockout doesn't end soon.
Still, he said the larger crisis is the holdup on housing.
"The real immediate issue is that we are not able to occupy housing units that are desperately needed in this region," Koch said. "Number two is that when they're fully occupied, they're paying taxes to the city, but the full tax doesn't come in until that building is fully occupied."
Koch said taxes from large-scale Quincy Center development projects such as Hillside Residences are key to paying for projects to upgrade public infrastructure and keep homeowners' tax bills down.
The consequences of the lockout have prompted state lawmakers to intervene.
On Thursday, the House passed a bill that would force public utility companies to pay unemployment benefits to workers who are involuntarily locked out of their jobs. The bill now moves to the Senate. A second bill could force the natural gas utility to ante up for workers' health insurance, which it canceled shortly after the lockout began. That bill is still being studied.
The Department of Revenue told House Speaker Robert DeLeo in October that locked-out workers had received $13 million in unemployment benefits, and were costing MassHealth about $70,000 a month.
National Grid Massachusetts President Marcy Reed, testifying before the Legislature this week, said she hopes to reach an agreement with union workers by Christmas. The company has said that even if the lockout and state moratorium end by New Year's, it could be months or years before the backlog of new connections is complete.
Meanwhile, thousands of housing units sit empty and dozens of new businesses can't open their doors because they can't get natural gas hookups, said Tamara Small, incoming CEO of NAIOP Massachusetts, a commercial real estate development firm.
"There are countless jobs affected, countless construction projects affected," Small said. "It's really staggering, and at the end of the day, developers are completely powerless to stop it."

Perhaps you even know that it was composed by a Ukrainian patriot Mykola Leontyvych. But do you know the story behind the song is filled with murder, betrayal, and a fight for independence?
Traditional Roots
While Leontyvch arranged the well-known musical version of the song we know today, he based it on a traditional folk chant that supposedly predates Christianity. Known as ‘Shchedryk’ (Bountiful Evening), the Ukrainian lyrics tell of a swallow that flies into a house and sings of the wealth and prosperity that is coming. The song heralds the rebirth of earth and the coming of spring, which is why it’s sung at New Year in Ukraine – not Christmas.
The song found international popularity when performed by the Ukrainian National Chorus to a sold-out Carnegie Hall in New York in 1921. English lyrics were added by NBC’s Peter Wilhousky in 1936 and the song became a staple of holiday advertising, with over 150 arrangements of the tune in the last decade alone in virtually every musical style.

What most people don’t know about the genesis of the tune is it was composed during a time of great upheaval in Ukraine. When he first started composing his mega hit, Leontyvych had been sent back to his home oblast of Vinnytsia for supporting workers during the 1905 Russian Revolution. It was there the conductor of the Ukrainian Republic Choir (Oleksandr Koshyts) asked him to create a song based on Ukrainian folk music. Shchedryk was first played at the Kyiv University in 1916 to great acclaim, making Leontyvych a well-known figure when the Ukrainian People’s Republic was proclaimed just six months later. During this short period of time of early independence, Leontyvych was instrumental in helping form Ukrainian cultural entities such as the Ukrainian State Orchestra and the Ukrainian National Chorus (the same that would later popularise the hit internationally) to promote Ukrainian culture abroad. This made him a target when the Bolsheviks retook Kyiv in 1919.
Leontyvych was forced to again leave Kyiv and move back to Vinnytsia. There he founded the first music school in Turchyn and began work on his first opera. He worried about his security and even had papers to stay in Romania while touring abroad with the Ukrainian National Chorus. He decided to spend Christmas Day in 1921 with his family and a colleague, an undercover Chekist (Soviet State Security) officer named Afanasy Grishchenko. After the celebrations, Grishchenko was invited to stay over and share a room with Leontyvych. The officer shot Leontyvych at dawn, robbing his family and leaving the composer to die of blood loss a few hours later. The man paid with his life to promote Ukrainian culture abroad, making him one of Ukraine’s earliest patriots and martyrs.

← ReActiveMicro
[[File:Title_RM_History.png|318px]] ReActiveMicro is a subsidiary of the ReActiveCorporation, founded in January 1991 by Henry S. Courbis. == The Name: ReActive == Why the name ReActive? As the fields of Chemistry and Physics state: ReActivity belongs to the Fundamental Forces, disposed or inclined to participate readily in interactions. Reference ‘Active‘ and its synonyms in the dictionary and they state: Always being Active, ProActively assessing situations and new technologies, constantly exploring new ideas and areas for growth, always on the move and never being at rest. We’re Actively at it… again: ReActive! == History == ReActive started as Interactive Business Systems, Inc. (IBS) in January 1991 and mainly focused on custom written accounting software and IT hardware support and networking for small and medium sized companies. After selling his half of IBS in February 1993 Henry co-founded D&S Technologies, Inc. which was IT service and hardware based, and focused less on custom written software. In July of 1994 Henry bought out his business partner, becoming full owner, and changed the company name to Reactive Computers. This was the official beginning of ReActive as it is known today. ReActive Computers currently holds the record for longest surviving, single owner, IT Support company based in NJ (17 years). Henry retired from IT work in December of 2007. == Locations == In the early years ReActive was primarily based in Southern New Jersey. They quickly expanded up and down the North East corridor of the United States. Their client base ranged as far west as Lancaster, PA, as far north as Rhode Island and as far south as Delaware. In New Jersey they have had offices in Pennsauken, West Deptford, Piscataway, Mount Laurel, Marlton, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands, Middletown, Mantua, Cherry Hill, Moorestown, and Maple Shade. In Pennsylvania they have had offices in Millersville, Lancaster, and Ephrata. The concept of ReActive's IT Service model was not limited to or operated from any specific location. They always believed in working together with other companies rather than compete, and often times would share locations with clients or partner companies. With Parallel Partnerships throughout the tri-state area ReActive and their partners were able to benefit from marketing and PR as a group, which proved quite formidable to their competition. Most times if a competitor didn't outright go out of business in the first year they would usually ask to join the ReActive Network. Members would broker extra work, be able to quickly find assistance with larger jobs knowing they could bid on work far outside their own capabilities, and most importantly not directly compete when bidding on open projects or State work. These benefits generally gave Network members an advantage. Although the concept was quite fruitful for almost 5 years, Henry found it was relatively exhaustive to manage daily, 7 days a week, and keep communication running smoothly between all Network members. In the end several members consolidated and Henry decided it was time to take a break from the IT sector. == ReActiveMicro Past and Present == In July of 2005 Henry founded ReActiveMicro which produces designs for 8bit and 16bit computers, primarily within the Apple II family. For a brief time in mid-2005 to mid-2006 ReActiveMicro was partnered with Gerber Street Enterprises operated by Bill Garber. Items from this period were branded as "GSE-Reactive". In 2007 Henry started to collaborate with Anthony Martino who then founded UltimateApple2.com. In late 2011 Henry put ReActiveMicro on "hold" to peruse more pressing business opportunities. In mid-February 2014 Henry returned full time to ReActiveMicro. During the restart-up process Henry temporary merged with UltimateApple2 so he could concentrate more on restarting projects than worrying about Store related activities, websites, and user support. In 2015 Henry and Anthony started a new brand called [https://www.ultimateapple2.com/?page_id=251 "Ultimate-Micro.com"] (UM) based on the "Ultimate" from UltimateApple2, and "Micro" from ReActiveMicro. This is to better identify collaborative projects as most people thought the projects were coming from ReActiveMicro. With Ultimate-Micro Henry mainly handles design work, and Anthony mainly runs the Store. Both perform project alpha testing and user support. All UM projects are sold through the UltimateApple2.com Store which is solely managed by Anthony although Henry does have some say in pricing. <b>In mid-July 2016 at KFEST Henry announced that from this point forward he would be releasing more projects under his own "ReActiveMicro" brand</b> now that the new Store and Wiki websites have been fully setup. Collaborative projects would still happen under the Ultimate-Micro brand, but to a lesser degree than in the past year and half. Several UM projects such as the Universal PSU Kit and RAMWorks IIII Kit would migrate to ReActiveMicro, and Henry's involvement in Ultimate-Micro projects would lessen and become secondary. The move to more solo ReActiveMicro projects and activity is due to Henry's working full-time at ReActiveMicro and needing a more stable and a larger source of income. ReActiveMicro projects are 100% Henry's where as UM projects need to have any profits split. So moving to more solo ReActiveMicro projects is just a logical business decision when doing business full time and income is critical. [[Image:2014-04-07_-_ReActiveMicro_-_Clone_All_The_Things.jpg|200px|center|frameless|border]] == Authorized Distributor / Partnerships == Since mid-2016 ReActiveMicro has started to Actively court other designers in the effort to help bring more products to the Community. Most designers quickly become overwhelmed with business logistics and only sell their projects for a limited time, word of mouth, or to close friends. ReActiveMicro is the longest lived Apple II distributor and can use their extensive resources to help designers in many ways. The designer can be as involved or removed as they like. ReActiveMicro can simply resell a design, or take it over and have it assembled and sold where the designer simply receives a payment when an item sells. "Taking over a project" can be something as simple as just having it produced, to a full rework and relayout to fix issues or reduce costs. 2005-2006 - Gerber Street Enterprises: Collaborative efforts with Bill Garber. 2006-Current - ///SHH Systeme: Authorized Distributor / Reseller. 2007-Current Ultimate-Micro.com/UltimateApple2.com: Collaborative efforts with Anthony Martino. 2010-Current - PhilosophyOfSound.com: Authorized Distributor / Reseller, Collaborative efforts with Tom Arnold.

The episode was released on January 31st. Henry talks about his Apple II history, some nefarious activities and experiences, about projects he's worked on and several in development. In May 2008 Henry was interviewed by [https://juiced.gs/index/v13/i2/ Juice.GS] which appeared in Volume 13, Issue 2. He is featured on the cover of the magazine dressed in a racing track suite on his 1989 Yamaha YX600 Radian. == ReActiveMicro's Project Versioning Scheme == Hardware versioning is the process of assigning unique version numbers to unique states of computer hardware. Within a given version number category (major, minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the project. At a fine-grained level, revision control is often used for keeping track of incrementally different versions of electronic information. Computer hardware is often tracked using two different versioning schemes — an internal version number that may be incremented many times in a single day, such as a revision control number, and a released version that typically changes far less often. Previous to 2015 all ReActiveMicro projects had a major and minor revision number, separated by a decimal point, even for internal revisions. For example: v1.0. This lead to some confusion as projects could skip minor versions in between official releases. For example: v1.0, then v1.4 could be released skipping 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. In 2015 Henry of ReActiveMicro decided to start using a two decimal revisioning number system in the effort to reduce possible confusion. There is now a major, minor, and internal revision number that is used. For example, released v1.0 could really be v1.0.24. However only ReActiveMicro design team members would know the actual internal revision number, and only the major and minor revision numbers would ever be printed on the PCB Silkscreen layers or refereed to in documentation and support forums. Some Beta Testers however may be told the internal revision number if it is pertinent to their testing or notes. However the internal revision number is not considered confidential information. Henry has also been known to note the full project's version number, including the internal revision number suffix, on the PCB's copper layers along with a design date and layout credit. This is mainly done for internal tracking, confirmation, and stock control. *All versions start at "1.0.0" and will increment in the positive direction. *Major revisions consist of inception or complete relayout of a design. If the basis of the circuit doesn't change, then neither does the major revision. *Minor revisions consist of edits, partial relayouts, or changes to a design requiring a new PCB to be produced. *Internal revisions are only used by ReActiveMicro design team members. They consist of daily edits and project branches. Part of the versioning process is also the development phases. These consist of Proof of Concept, Alpha, Beta, and Production. Only Production has a "standard" versioning scheme as laid out above. *Proof of Concept consists of basic testing to ensure a project is viable. Any doubts as to what is possible or coding issue are worked out in this phase. Things are usually a mess a wires based on an existing board or a Breadboard. A breadboard would not have a version number. A PCB layout would be labeled as "Project v1.PoC.1" for example, or instead of the full "PoC" sometimes just "P". The first decimal denoting the project revision. The second decimal denoting the phase. And the last decimal denoting a version. *Alpha is the next phase which usually consists of a trial PCB layout as a more formal test bed. This phase is also a test of component selection and locations. Several Alpha layouts could be made before moving on. A label would be applied as "Project v1.Alpha.1" for example, or instead of the full "Alpha" sometimes just "A". The first decimal denoting the project revision. The second decimal denoting the phase. And the last decimal denoting a version. *Beta phase is a cleaner version of the Alpha layout and has little if any mods or fly-wires. Beta boards are sent to developers and testers for a final round of testing outside the ReActiveMicro labs. Any mods or fixes are finalized and added to Production layout. A label would be applied as "Project v1.Beta.1" for example, or instead of the full "Beta" sometimes just "B". The first decimal denoting the project revision. The second decimal denoting the phase. And the last decimal denoting a version. *Production boards are the final step in the development process and are released to the Community for sale. Sometimes Beta or Production boards are used as a Proof of Concept platform for the next version of the project. Standard version labels would be applied as stated above. == ReActiveMicro's Wiki == On May 28th, 2016 Henry started work on a long term business goal which is to better support the Apple II Community with The ReActiveMicro Wiki. He loaded WikiMedia on the ReActiveMicro Web Server and started the process of creating pages and uploading pictures. The concept of the ReActiveMicro Wiki is to help disseminate the history of ReActiveMicro and the projects Henry has worked on. He has built upon the work of others and created his own projects from scratch. He hopes one day someone will continue the chain by building upon his work and possibly achieve a form of "Geek Immortality" so coveted by those who value open source projects and the sharing of information. The Wiki is a place where behind the scenes pictures can be shared with some context related to their projects. And a place where visitors can share information, write their own How-To pages, find support, and manage things by themselves. One of the goals behind the Wiki is to bring value to the Apple II Community, grow in to something self-sufficient, and take on a life of its own. ==ID and Security Stickers== On January 23rd, 2020 ReActiveMicro achieved a goal of moving to a more professional labeling system. This was achieved by using a holographic security solution. All projects sold will be labeled with at least a date code. And most platform specific projects or ROMs will be labeled with a "II" or "IIgs". This will make IDing a board or ROM much more simple for the user, and allow ReActiveMicro to better track items such as those returned for repair. == Desktop Wallpaper == <gallery class="center" widths=150px heights=80 caption="ReActiveMicro"> File:PNG_ICON.svg|4096*2304|link=https://wiki.reactivemicro.com/images/c/c0/RM_Rainbow_4096x2304K.png </gallery> </div>

Australian Gov’t Adopts ‘Extreme Vetting’ for Islamic Migrants, Reforms Foreign Worker Visas
The Australian government has taken the lead from President Donald Trump in the race to improve vetting of immigrants who may hold hostile Islamic attitudes, and to reform wage-slashing guest-worker programs like the H-1B white-collar outsourcing visa.
“We’re defined by a commitment to common values, political values, the rule of law, democracy, freedom, mutual respect, equality for men and women,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told the media on Thursday, where he described the reformed vetting process:
our citizenship process should reflect that. So today we are announcing changes to strengthen citizenship, to make for a stronger Australia, stronger citizenship, stronger citizen … before you apply to be a citizen. You will need to have competent English. That is a vital requirement … also, we need to ensure that our citizenship test enables applicants to demonstrate how they have integrated into and engaged with our Australian community, so that they’re part of the community. They’ve lived here as a permanent resident for four years, they speak English, share our values, be integrated. Those are critically important elements. I believe that they will be empowering for applicants. This will be good for the applicants, good for the nation, underlining our Australian values at the very heart of Australian citizenship, Australian citizenship is the foundation of our democracy… these political values are what bind us together. That’s what keeps us together in the midst of our diversity.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right
Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.
Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.
Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.
"More here"
Daniel Greenfield explains Islam 101:
"Every devout Muslim is an "Islamist". Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A "moderate" Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam.
Nothing in Islam exists apart from anything else. While liberals view culture and religion as a buffet that they can pick and choose from, it is a single integrated system. If you accept one part, you must accept the whole. Once you accept any aspect of Islam, you must accept its legal system and once you accept that, you must accept its governance and once you accept that, you lose your rights.''

SECULARISM AND RELIGION: THE ONSLAUGHT AGAINST THE WEST’S MORAL CODES
War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.
We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.
Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.
Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.
“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.
Perfecting society
But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.

NCHC 2020-21 Season Preview: Omaha ‘pod’ kicks off what may be surreal hockey season for league teams
By Candace Horgan and Matthew Semisch
Miami and Minnesota Duluth battle during a 2019-20 series in Oxford, Ohio (photo: Jeff Sabo/Miami University).
It seems surreal.
The last time I sat down at my computer to do a story on the NCHC, I had interviewed Denver coach David Carle about the abrupt end to the college hockey season.
Carle, in a statement that seems prescient, said, “I think the lesson to be learned, or one of the many, is life’s a fragile thing. Our game is fragile, and it can be taken from you at any moment.”
It seems almost innocent, in a way. That story ran on March 23. According to the Centers for Disease Control reports, on March 21, 573 U.S. citizens had died of COVID-19. As I sit to type this preview, over 252,000 Americans have now died of COVID-19, and it’s only getting worse. The U.S. just reported its highest ever infections in a day, at 185,000.
So, all I can think is, are we really going to do this? Is hockey really that important? What will it take for people to realize what we are up against? Will it take the death of a player? A coach? A referee? A support person?
I’ve seen what COVID-19 can do, even to previously healthy people. I’ve been personally affected, as a family member died of it. I had a friend spend a month in the hospital due to COVID-19, with two weeks of that time spent in the ICU, intubated and on a ventilator.
Every now and then, I go online to a few sites to see the latest on how many healthcare workers have died of COVID-19.
I see 1,500 nurses worldwide.
I see 1,100 healthcare workers overall in the U.S. alone.
And I read what we are up against in healthcare, the patients who refuse to believe what is happening to them, even as they are dying. I read about the nurses working to promote flattening the curve who are being stalked and threatened by people who refuse to believe that COVID-19 is lethal. Their families are also being threatened.
It’s interesting to think about the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Many people don’t realize that the disease didn’t originate in Spain, despite its name. That strain of H1N1 actually crossed into humans in the American Midwest, likely in Kansas. With the U.S. sending soldiers overseas, and those soldiers being in close quarters and experiencing malnourishment, the disease quickly spread. It got the name the Spanish flu because Spain wasn’t a participant in World War I, and as such its media wasn’t being censored to maintain morale, so the first consistent reports of death were published in Spain.
The deadliest time for that pandemic was October 1918. The second wave officially began in August. A parade held in Philadelphia on Sept. 28, 1918, became the biggest super-spreader event, with an estimated 12,000 people dying solely because of those who attended the parade.
Now we are seeing the spikes here for the novel coronavirus, and we are seeing COVID-19 mortality increasing at exponential rates. So, sitting down to write a preview for a college hockey season, even for a league I love, just seems off. The Ivies have canceled, as have a couple of other ECAC schools. Will someone get deathly ill as a result of hockey being played?
It’s entirely possible it will happen.
Colorado College has had to shut down hockey activities for 14 days as a player has tested positive for COVID-19. U.S. Women’s Soccer star Lindsey Horan just tested positive and had to leave the team ahead of its friendly with the Netherlands. Three New York Giants players just tested positive.
The city of Denver is currently at level red, which prohibits all indoor gatherings. If the school decides to go to virtual classes, they might cancel athletics. And last week, the state of North Dakota recorded the highest mortality rate from COVID-19 in the entire world.
People still seem resistant to do what is necessary to stop the virus, or at least slow its spread. Last spring, a friend and I were talking about it during a break, and he encapsulated the resistance to masks and social distancing by saying, “The thing zombie movies got wrong is they didn’t realize there would be a substantial number of people demanding their constitutional right to be eaten by zombies.”
I truly hope that this doesn’t lead to someone dying, but the thing is, this disease seems to be unpredictable, and while it doesn’t hit most people that hard, there is still a large minority that experiences severe complications. Even with the vaccine news, it will take time to get things under control.
So let’s keep our fingers crossed that this goes well.

League play starts in Omaha ‘pod’
The NCHC has won the last four national championships.
Prior to the end of the season due to COVID-19, three NCHC teams were among the favorites to capture the 2020 title, with North Dakota, Minnesota Duluth and Denver all in fine form. Whether the NCHC can continue its recent national championship run remains to be seen, but they certainly will be in the mix.
The season will begin with league play with a series of “pod” games on Dec. 1 in Omaha. The league is divided into an East pod (Miami, Western Michigan, Minnesota Duluth, and St. Cloud State) and a West pod (Colorado College, Denver, North Dakota, Omaha). This is a creative approach to try to keep the teams from contracting COVID-19.
Each team will play six games against their division opponents over the season. In pod play, each team will play a total of 10 games spaced over three weeks. The second half of the league will consist of home and away games against every team in the league, for a total of eight home games and eight away games. The season will have each team playing six games against pod opponents and two games against each cross-divisional pod team.
The schedule for the pod games was recently announced. Two games will take place on most weekdays Tuesday through Friday, with game times at 3:35 p.m. and 7:35 p.m. CDT, while weekends will consist of triple-headers with games starting at 12:05 p.m., 4:05 p.m. and 8:05 p.m.
When the concept was announced, NCHC commissioner Josh Fenton said, “Throughout the past eight months, we have learned to adjust and think creatively about how we live our personal and professional lives. I’m proud of our membership for their entrepreneurial spirit to build a concept grounded in health and safety that we believe gives a group of deserving student-athletes the best opportunity to conduct a successful season.”
Medical support and COVID-19 testing will be conducted by the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
NCHC TEAM CAPSULES
Matt Vernon begins the 2020-21 season as Colorado College’s No. 1 goalie (photo: Casey B. Gibson).
Head coach: Mike Haviland (seventh season)
2019-20 overall record: 11-20-3 (4-17-3 NCHC, eighth)
Key returning players: Junior forward Ben Copeland (4-14-18), junior forward Grant Cruikshank (11-6-17), junior defenseman Bryan Yoon (1-16-17), sophomore goaltender Matt Vernon (8-16-3, 3.42 GAA, .901 SV%)
Key losses: Chris Wilkie (23-8-31), Nick Halloran (12-18-30), Alex Berardinelli (4-13-17)
Key additions: Forward Ray Christy (Sioux City Musketeers), forward Jackson Jutting (Cedar Rapids Roughriders), defenseman Hugo Blixt (Boston University), forward Brian Hawkinson (Miami)
2020-21 predictions: You might look at CC’s record last year and think they were terrible, but until the midway point of the season, the Tigers were having a solid year. However, a sweep by Denver to close the first half of the season seemed to affect their confidence, and the Tigers only won five of their last 20 games.
CC’s biggest challenge this season will be replacing the scoring of Chris Wilkie and Nick Halloran. The Tigers scored 86 goals last year, and those two players figured in the lion’s share of the points.
The Tigers will look to get more scoring from Ben Copeland and captain Grant Cruikshank. Another bright spot is junior defenseman Bryan Yoon, who has been a stabilizing influence on the back line.
Sophomore goalie Matt Vernon will need to improve his play too if CC is to contend again and escape the NCHC cellar.
CC is a young team, with 12 freshmen on the roster. The Tigers also added two transfers, defenseman Hugo Blixt (Boston University) and forward Brian Hawkinson (Miami), who should see regular playing time.
Candace’s prediction: seventh
Matt’s prediction: eighth
Bobby Brink should be an offensive catalyst this season for Denver (photo: Nick Monaghan/DU Athletics).
Head coach: David Carle (third season)
2019-20 overall record: 21-9-6 (11-8-5 NCHC, third)
Key returning players: Junior forward Cole Guttman (14-14-28), junior forward Brett Stapley (5-25-30), sophomore forward Bobby Brink (11-13-24), sophomore goaltender Magnus Chrona (16-6-4, 2.14 GAA, .920 SV%)
Key losses: Emilio Pettersen (13-22-35), Ian Mitchell (10-22-32), Liam Finlay (5-23-28), goaltender Devin Cooley (4-3-2, 2.08 GAA, .908 SV%)
Key additions: Defenseman Mike Benning (Sherwood Park, AJHL), forward Carter Savoie (Sherwood Park, AJHL), defenseman Bo Hanson (St. Lawrence), goaltender Corbin Kaczperski (Yale)
2020-21 predictions: Last season was an interesting one for the Pioneers, who started 8-0. The team could best be characterized as one that beat the teams they should, but usually fell to teams higher than them. They were 11-8-5 in league play, and the Pioneers went 0-6-2 against the league’s top two teams, North Dakota and Minnesota Duluth.
The off season saw Denver lose two of its best players, as forward Emilio Pettersen and defenseman (and captain) Ian Mitchell both signed NHL contracts. Those two were the team’s leading scorers last year. Also departing was goaltender Devin Cooley.
Despite those losses, Denver returns a lot of power. Forwards Cole Guttman, Brett Stapley, and Bobby Brink will be looked to for a lot of firepower. Incoming freshman Carter Savoie, a fourth-round pick of the Edmonton Oilers in the 2020 NHL draft, will also be looked to early for points.
Defensively, Denver will hope that incoming freshman Mike Benning, a fourth-round pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2020 NHL draft, will bring the same level of intensity and play of Mitchell. Denver also just announced that they have graduate transfer Corbin Kaczperski, a goaltender who posted a 2.77 GAA with Yale last season.
Denver was ranked fourth in the preseason USCHO.com poll, and the Pioneers should battle all season long with Minnesota Duluth for second place in the conference.
Candace’s prediction: second
Matt’s prediction: third
Ryan Savage scored seven goals and dished out another seven assists during the 2019-20 season (photo: Miami Athletics).
Head coach: Chris Bergeron, entering his second season at Miami
2019-20 overall record: 8-21-5 (5-16-3-2 NCHC, seventh)
Key returning players: Senior forward Casey Gilling (9-22-31), sophomore forward Ryan Savage (7-7-14), junior defenseman Derek Daschke (10-13-23), sophomore goaltender Ben Kraws (1-7-2, 4.12 GAA, .871 SV%)
Key losses: Forward Gordie Green (14-22-36), forward Karch Bachman (10-21-31), goaltender Ryan Larkin (7-12-2, 3.47 GAA, .901 SV%)
Key additions: Forward Joe Cassetti (Merrimack and Waterloo, USHL), defenseman Hampus Rydqvist (Maryland, NAHL), goaltender Ludvig Persson (Lone Star, NAHL)
2020-21 predictions: With a first-year coach at the helm, Miami wasn’t expected to set the college hockey world alight last season. Some predictions turn out to be accurate; the RedHawks won one of their first five games and went on to finish seventh in the league, just like they did in 2019-20.
Miami still made a good decision in hiring Bergeron, though, a MU alum who helped Bowling Green snap a nearly three-decade NCAA tournament drought two years ago. This could be another tough season for the RedHawks, though, who graduated their top two point-producers from last year and a starting goaltender who made 120 appearances in net over his four seasons in Oxford, Ohio.
Gilling is Miami’s top returning scorer but is also a good setup man, and Cassetti’s background as a National Team Development Program product and former Merrimack player makes him another one to watch. Also, keep an eye on who’s between the pipes, as Kraws looks to stave off Persson, who was 22-4 last season in juniors with a .934 save percentage.
Candace’s prediction: eighth
Matt’s prediction: seventh
Minnesota Duluth’s Noah Cates celebrates one of his 14 goals last season (photo: Terry Cartie Norton).
Head coach: Scott Sandelin (21st season)
2019-20 overall record: 22-10-2 (17-5-2 NCHC, second)
Key returning players: Junior forward Cole Koepke (16-17-33), junior forward Noah Cates (14-19-33), senior forward Nick Swaney (12-14-26), junior forward Jackson Cates (8-15-23)
Key losses: Defenseman Scott Perunovich (6-34-40), defenseman Dylan Samberg (1-20-21), forward Justin Richards (14-11-25), goaltender Hunter Shepard (22-10-2, 2.18 GAA, .918 SV%)
Key additions: Defenseman Wyatt Kaiser (Andover, USHS), defenseman Blake Biondi (Hermantown, USHS), defenseman Connor Kelly (U.S. National Development Team)
2020-21 predictions: While several other teams lost important players to early departure, perhaps none was hit harder than Minnesota Duluth, as defenseman Scott Perunovich, the team’s leading scorer the last few seasons and a dynamic presence on the blue line, signed an NHL contract. Also departing early was defenseman Dylan Samberg, a potent force on the back line. The Bulldogs also lost goaltender Hunter Shepard to graduation. Shepard was a force in the Bulldogs’ back-to-back national titles.
Given that Minnesota Duluth won its national championships with an impenetrable defense and timely scoring, the loss of the three players who were the key to that defense will be the most difficult part of Minnesota Duluth’s season this year. Also gone is defenseman Nick Wolff, who graduated.
However, coach Scott Sandelin is known for having a deep bench. Back are forwards Cole Koepke, Noah Cates, and Nick Swaney, who were among the top scorers on the team last year. Freshman Blake Biondi, a fourth-round selection of the Montreal Canadians in the June draft, will also bring some scoring power.
Louie Roehl will be looked to on the blue line at the start of the year. Freshman Wyatt Kaiser, who was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the third round in June, will be looked to early to bring some of what was lost by Perunovich’s departure.
One thing we know about Sandelin is he knows how to get his team in playoff form. The Bulldogs will again be in the mix for the NCAA championship this season.
Candace’s prediction: third
Matt’s prediction: second
Jordan Kawaguchi is back for his senior season with North Dakota (photo: Russell Hons).
Head coach: Brad Berry, entering his sixth season at North Dakota
2019-20 overall record: 26-5-4 (17-4-3-2 NCHC, first)
Key returning players: Senior forward Jordan Kawaguchi (15-30-45), sophomore forward Shane Pinto (16-12-28), senior defenseman Matt Kiersted (6-23-29), junior defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker (7-18-25), junior goaltender Adam Scheel (19-4-2, 2.07 GAA, .904 SV%), senior goaltender Peter Thome (7-1-2, 1.37 GAA, .935 SV%)
Key losses: Forward Westin Michaud (16-12-28), forward Cole Smith (11-7-18), defenseman Colton Poolman (4-13-17)
Key additions: Forward Riese Gaber (Dubuque, USHL), forward Griffin Ness (Waterloo, USHL), defenseman Jake Sanderson (NDTP), defenseman Tyler Kleven (NDTP)
2020-21 predictions: Remember when North Dakota missed out on the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row in 2019? How long ago does that feel now?
Fresh off their best season since 2015-16, when the Fighting Hawks won the national title in Berry’s first season in charge, UND enters this season looking to win a ninth championship, which may have arrived last season if not for the COVID-19 pandemic.
UND returns a Hobey Baker Award finalist in Kawaguchi, and six of the Hawks’ top seven point-producers from last season are back. Berry’s bunch is strong between the pipes, too. Scheel got most of the game time last season, but Thome’s goals-against average would’ve ranked second in the country if he hadn’t just fallen below the minimum for minutes played.
There’s also much to like about UND’s newcomers. Take a look at this year’s NHL draft, for instance: Ottawa took Sanderson fifth and then grabbed Kleven, a prep product of Fargo (N.D.) Davies, in the second round.
We had predicted UND to be in the middle of the NCHC pack last season. This time, not so much.
Candace’s prediction: first
Matt’s prediction: first
Omaha goalie Isaiah Saville won 10 games as a freshman last season for the Mavericks (photo: Omaha Athletics).
Head coach: Mike Gabinet (fourth season)
2019-20 overall record: 14-17-5 (8-13-3-0 NCHC, sixth)
Key returning players: Junior forward Taylor Ward (16-11-27), senior forward Kevin Conley (12-15-27), sophomore defenseman Brandon Scanlin (3-11-14), sophomore goaltender Isaiah Saville (10-11-4, 2.85 GAA, .907 SV%)
Key losses: Forward Teemu Pulkkinen (7-11-18), forward Zach Jordan (12-4-16), defenseman Dean Stewart (2-10-12)
Key additions: Forward Brock Bremer (Lincoln, USHL), forward Jack Randl (Michigan and Omaha, USHL), defenseman Jonny Tychonick (North Dakota transfer)
2020-21 predictions: Omaha was five wins better last season than the Mavericks were in 2018-19, when they started 0-6-1 and struggled to recover.
Don’t be surprised if UNO is even better this time, as the Mavs return their top five scorers from last season plus a promising goaltender in Saville, taken by Vegas in the 2019 NHL Draft.
Ward will be a focal point again, UNO’s top scorer last season who is two years removed from his NCHC rookie-of-the-year season. Two newcomers with prior college hockey experience will help too, and Tychonick could provide an offensive boost at the blue line for a UNO team whose top 10 point-producers last season were all forwards.
Might this season’s Mavericks better the .500 mark that UNO set in Gabinet’s first campaign in charge? Absolutely, and getting their first dozen games at home ought to help.
Candace’s prediction: sixth
Matt’s prediction: fifth
Sam Hentges (19) went for seven goals and 24 points in 2019-20 for St. Cloud State (photo: Bradley K. Olson).
Head coach: Brett Larson (third season)
2019-20 overall record: 13-15-6 (10-12-2 NCHC, fifth)
Key returning players: Senior forward Easton Brodzinski (12-15-27), senior goaltender Dávid Hrenák (12-11-6, 2.76 GAA, .906 SV%), junior forward Sam Hentges (7-17-24), junior forward Micah Miller (7-11-18)
Key losses: Forward Nick Poehling, defenseman Jack Ahcan, forward Jack Poehling
Key additions: Forward Veeti Miettinen (Kiekko-Espoo, Finland), forward Jack Johnston (Fairbanks Ice Dogs, NAHL)
2020-21 predictions: If a team had cause to feel frustrated when COVID-19 ended the season in March, it might have been St. Cloud, as the Huskies had rebounded from a poor first half to play strong in the second half, including a home sweep of Minnesota Duluth, a win over then-No. 2 Minnesota State, and wins over North Dakota and Denver in the final weeks of the season. The Huskies looked to be a dangerous team to face in the playoffs.
Much of that team is back, including starting goaltender Dávid Hrenák, now a senior, who posted a .906 save percentage and 2.76 goals-against average. Also back is leading scorer Easton Brodzinski, who had 27 points last season.
The team did lose some important players, including forwards Nick and Jack Poehling, who were second and fifth on the team in scoring. Potentially making up for that scoring will be rookies Veeti Miettinen and Jack Johnston. Miettinen was drafted in the sixth round by the Toronto Maple Leafs; he had 73 points last year for the U20 team while nabbing second team honors. Johnston was team captain last year for the Fairbanks Ice Dogs in the NAHL and finished with 45 points.
The challenge will be replacing defenseman Jack Ahcan, a potent two-way player who was one of the anchors of the power play.
Candace’s prediction: fourth
Matt’s prediction: fourth
Senior Paul Washe will serve as Western Michigan’s captain for the 2020-21 season (photo: Bradley K. Olson).
Head coach: Andy Murray, entering his 10th season at Western Michigan
2019-20 overall record: 18-13-5 (12-9-3-2 NCHC, fourth)
Key returning players: Senior forward Paul Washe (12-9-21), senior forward Ethen Frank (9-11-20), sophomore goaltender Brandon Bussi (18-12-4, 2.65 GAA, .910 SV%)
Key losses: Forward Hugh McGing (13-22-35), forward Dawson DiPietro (12-17-29), forward Austin Rueschhoff (12-14-26)
Key additions: Forward Ty Glover (Lincoln, USHL), defenseman Aidan Fulp (Dubuque, USHL), defenseman Cédric Fiedler (Fargo, USHL)
2020-21 predictions: Murray’s 10th season behind the bench in Kalamazoo starts with a team that is less proven out of the box than others.
The Broncos’ four top point-producers from last season are gone, including an early departure in Rueschhoff, who signed in March with the New York Rangers. Washe, Frank and junior forward Cole Gallant will be relied upon again, although all three of them reached the 20-point plateau last season.
Bussi was very good last season in earning NCHC all-rookie team honors, and he beat out two seniors to grab the starting job. There’s another senior teammate to contend with this season in Austin Cain, but Bussi gained plenty of momentum as a freshman. No surprise; a year earlier, he won 33 games and had a .915 save percentage for Muskegon in the USHL.
Western might have a tough road to hoe if the Broncos are to return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2017, but ending that hiatus this season certainly isn’t beyond comprehension.
Candace’s prediction: fifth

Falcons respond to Quinn firing with 40-23 win vs. Vikings
The depleted Vikings ultimately surrendered 40-plus points for the second time this year.
Author: Dave Campbell (AP)
MINNEAPOLIS — Julio Jones returned from injury to catch two of Matt Ryan’s four touchdown passes as the Atlanta Falcons beat the Minnesota Vikings 40-23 for their first victory of the season.
The win came one week after the firing of head coach Dan Quinn who after six seasons, was replaced by defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
Kirk Cousins threw three interceptions in the first half for the first time in his career, and the Falcons turned those picks into 17 points to build a 20-0 lead at the break.

Economy grew 4.5% in May, Statistics Canada says
Motor vehicle and car sales contributed the most to the retail growth
Jul. 31, 2020 9:50 a.m.
Statistics Canada says the economy grew by 4.5 per cent in May as businesses began to reopen after severe lockdowns of March and April.
The average economist estimate was for a 3.5 per cent increase in gross domestic product for May, according to financial data firm Refinitiv.
The national data agency says rebounds in May were seen across multiple industries with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, including retail trade that registered a 16.4 per cent bump to mark its largest monthly increase since comparable readings began in 1961.
Motor vehicle and car sales contributed the most to the retail growth. Statistics Canada says the sector would have grown by 11.4 per cent had they been excluded from calculations.
In a preliminary estimate for June, the agency says the economy continued to pick up steam, with a five-per-cent increase for the month.
Despite the two months of growth after two months of negative readings, Statistics Canada’s preliminary estimate is that economic output contracted by 12 per cent in the second quarter compared to the first three months of 2020.
The June and second-quarter figures will be finalized late next month.
CIBC senior economist Royce Mendes says in a note that a 12-per-cent drop in the second quarter would be the largest decline ever by a long shot, even if such a decline was expected.
The Bank of Canada’s most recent economic outlook expected the second quarter of 2020 to be worse than the first, estimating a three-month drop in GDP of 14.6 per cent.
Overall, the central bank expected an economic contraction of 7.8 per cent this year, warning that after an immediate turnaround as restrictions eased, a recovery would be long and bumpy with some businesses and jobs not surviving the downturn.
Statistics Canada says economic activity still remained 15 per cent below pre-pandemic level despite the gains over May as business activity was slowly allowed to resume.

Lil Chuckee Wiki, Bio, Married, Girlfriend or Gay and Net Worth
Date: 17 Jun, 2016 Report This
$2.5 Million Dollars(estimated)
5 feet 8 inches(approx)
In his late adolescent stage now, ex-Young money star Lil Chuckee is into the wild all by himself. He was the youngest rapper when he signed with the label four years ago. Lil Wayne first discovered him when he was 9 years older via a video-shoot contest.
At the age of 19 as of 2015, he is back to his career reviving business, which he started in 2013 when he left Young money. Now, we have been hearing that he has joined a new label. However, the rumor can’t be verified.
Since leaving Young money, he has added two mix tapes “Overdue (2014)” and “Leborn of My Time (2013)” to his already popular collection, and that makes him the creator of 7 mixtapes in total. Surely, the achievements are not bad for a 19 year old.
Not only that, he appeared in various Young money videos while he was with the label, and he has released numerous collaboration remix songs as well. Not only that, he has been successful in getting various artists attached to his mixtapes. Just for instance, his 2013’s mixtape “Leborn of My Time” saw contribution from various popular artists including 2chainz, Yo Gutti, Justin Biber and M.r. Tony Elite.
These days we have been hearing a lots of rumors about Young money and Cash Money. Haven’t we? The rumors include Cash money and Young money splitting up, Lil asking for exit from Cash money, crew management problem related to Cash money plus Young money, Torin Seller suing Young money, and what not. See, if you have any idea about a soccer league, you will have idea about how an artist and label functions.
In soccer, if a player is not getting enough match time or he is failing to shine, then it is sure that he will ask for a heart breaking exist. Therefore, Lil Chuckee feels that he took the right decision from his perspective. But, there are other people who think that he should have just been patient and waited for his time just like his peers did.
Be what as it may, he took the right decision given the current conflict between Young money and Cash money. It is said that Lil Wayne wants out of the Cash money with his crew including Drake and Nicki and he is sure to fight a legal battle.
However, Drake hasn’t spoken about the matter whereas Nicki has told that she will be with Lil Wayne no matter what happens. But, Nicki wants Cash money and Young money to sort everything out as soon as possible given she has high respect for both Birdman and Lil Wayne.
Now moving on to his body measurements, the New Orleans born African American star is an average tall man with the height of 5 feet and 8 inches. Moreover, he was regarded as next Lil Wayne when he joined the label. With his long hair, smooth voice, good lyrical flow, body full of tattoos, good physique and plentiful of attitude, Chuckee is quite an appealing creature.
Beside earning a huge net worth of around $2 million US dollars till now, the young rapper has also made a quite a reputation. He has got praised by almost everybody for his charity work related to Hurricane Katrina. Being suffered by the hurricane himself, Lil has taken initiation to help the affected people revive. In the process, he has taken part in hundreds of charity shows as well as concerts and raised a good amount of money.
And guess what, he was dating a hot model back in 2012. She was a member of the hot and sexy tweaking dance group the Twerk team. Amazingly, Lil was 15 and the model/dancer was 20 while day were allegedly dating.
Maybe, it will be all right to say they were just having an affair as there are no recent rumors about the rapper and the dancer girlfriend. Plus, there are no any married/wife and gay rumors about the rapper.
Oh my god! How can one forget the 2015 gay rumors surrounding Birdman? It is said that Chuckee lawyers have filed molestation case against Birdman. It is also said that Birdman’s perverted attitude was also one of the sole reasons behind Chuckee Young money exist. However, no one verifies the rumors and any of them cannot be taken as fact.

Here’s the Toys R Us Rebranding That Never Saw the Light of Day
Lippincott's designs were lost in the brand's death throes
By David Griner
Bankruptcy isn’t usually the beginning of an agency’s relationship with a brand. But opportunity can come in unexpected forms, and creative consultancy Lippincott decided to toss the dice and try rebranding a beloved retailer teetering on the verge of extinction.
When Toys R Us declared bankruptcy in September 2017, Lippincott’s leadership team felt the same nostalgic pain that hit many Gen Xers. Toys R Us was an iconic part of childhood for many Americans, but it simply hadn’t been able to endure amid the endless offerings of modern online retail.
But instead of simply reminiscing and moving on, the agency decided to try doing something to reverse the fortunes of both Toys R Us and sister brand Babies R Us.
In a case study on its site, Lippincott says its team reached out to Toys R Us Global CMO Carla Hassan and creative director Lee Walker with a proposed rebranding that would modernize the retailer’s image to help better connect with the rapidly growing demographic of “Parennials”—millennial parents.
Embracing the store’s backward R as a centerpiece of the new visual identity, Lippincott created multiple treatments that balanced playfulness with a clean, modern vibe—one that the agency hoped to build out in Toys R Us’ ecommerce design and brick-and-mortar experience.
Unfortunately, while the work was a hit with the client, the timer simply ran out. Toys R Us closed all its remaining stores this summer.
Still, it wasn’t a total loss for Lippincott. The Toys R Us marketing leadership penned glowing praise for the work, which is memorialized on the agency’s site.
“The Lippincott work is the perfect blend of thoughtful, insights-driven strategy and innovative creative that understands the soul of the brands,” wrote Hassan, the global CMO. “It is magically powerful and full of child-like wonder. It’s play and parenting at its most authentic. It’s the emotional connection all retailers are trying to capture.”
Check out the proposed Babies R Us design elements below:

We’re all saying blink-182 wrong, according to James Corden–UPDATED
Why does the talk show host say blink's name this way?
Alternative Press Magazine
[Screenshots via YouTube, Giphy]
UPDATE: NOV. 19, 6:15 P.M. EST
Late-night talk show host James Corden sparked quite a debate today when he claimed Americans are saying blink-182 wrong. Mark Hoppus replied by saying the real crime is that the band’s name should always begin with a lowercase “B.”
Now, it looks like former blink vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge is tossing in his two cents.
“It’s actually— Blink eighteen-two,” DeLonge tweets. “People have all gotten this wrong for years. Sometimes this can happen with very complex, thoughtful and elevated art.”

This is like “the dress” all over again.
ORIGINAL STORY: NOV. 19, 3:30 P.M. EST
How do you say blink-182’s band name? While we always figured a simple “blink one-eighty-two” was correct, it seems those across the pond often pronounce the act’s digits as “one-eight-two.” But, wait, that’s not the end of this pickle! Because television’s James Corden is dropping in with his own baffling blink band name verbalization.
Read more: More support added to Bring Me The Horizon tour
Indeed, the late-night talk show host has stopped singing in a car long enough to give us his perplexing take on how to properly articulate the band’s name. “They should technically be called Blink one hundred and eight two,” offers Corden on Twitter, affecting a pedantic poise that conjures in the mind some sort of pop-punk Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Don’t start this. I admit we are wrong on this. America calls them Blink One eighty two. Which is also wrong. They technically should be called Blink one hundred and eighty two. Don’t take some moral high ground here. https://t.co/zm2Gpb6xtT

“Don’t start this,” proposes the TV host. “I admit we are wrong on this. America calls them Blink One eighty two. Which is also wrong. They technically should be called Blink one hundred and eighty two. Don’t take some moral high ground here.”
And the Late Late Show With James Corden namesake’s surely tongue-in-cheek diction lesson comes on the heels of another entertainer’s blink-182 elocution announcement: Comedian Ian Karmel kicked off the riff that Corden picked up on.
Of course, blink fans may remember the group only appended their epithet with a number when an Irish band called “Blink” staked their claim to the name as the San Diego pop-punkers were on the come-up. But we’re sure Corden knows that.
And beyond all this overscrupulous deliberation about a musical group’s moniker, the band’s own Mark Hoppus reminds us we’re losing sight of the most important aspect of blink’s band name. The “B” should always be lowercase!
Thank you James. Some say one eighty two. Some say one eight two. But in all of this, I feel like we’ve lost sight of the fact that the B in blink-182 should be lower-case. https://t.co/d3Gi2Ezmhu

Krisalis return with yet another United licence, but believe you me this piece of software is going straight to the top of the league.
It's been quiet on the football game scene over the last few months and the Sensi vs Goal war has died down, but there's a new challenger in town. Going by the name of Manchester United Premier League Champions, this new boy is ready to give it all and take the footballing crown. It's been produced by Krisalis and is in fact their third Manchester United licence. The previous two efforts were viewed from the side and Krisalis thought that they weren't going to gain anything by producing yet another one.
Unashamedly inspired by Sensible Soccer, Krisalis have created a football game that is viewed from above. You might think that there's nothing new about that because Sensible did it first and did it best, but you would be wrong because Manchester United Premier League Champions is the game which Sensible should've been and never was.
Whereas Sensible Soccer was a cartoon-like and more arcade-based game, Krisalis' new piece of software is a true football game for true football fanatics. It could almost be called a management simulator and this is because it has a huge strategy element to it. This is all thanks to Krisalis' Tacti-grid system. The grid lets you decide where and how you can want your players to play. For instance, you can make up any formation you want and unlike most football games they will stick to this formation.
You could have all your team in attack which will leave massive gaps in your defence, but at least your team will stick to this system until you decide to change it. That's just one way of playing that perhaps you'll never use, but it illustrates the point that your team will do exactly what you tell them.
A much better and more practical example would be to tell your full-backs what they should do. Should they stay back in defence or do you want them running up the wings to put crosses in for your forward men? The choice, as they say, is yours. Manchester United Premier League Champions has every team from the Premier, Ef you're a dedicated enough games player.
You start off with your fresh squad of players and take part in the League, the Coca Cola Cup and the FA Cup. As you progress your players will get injured and you'll have to change your team selection accordingly. You can also keep on eye on your league position, your squad, top goal scorers and injuries from a whole wealth of statistical information. Weather conditions play a big part in football games and also in Manchester United Premier League Champions. As the months progress the pitch conditions will change from a hard and dry pitch in August to a frosty pitch in December and so on.
I guess you're wondering about what the actual game part is like. Well, there is obviously a huge Sensible Soccer influence to Krisalis' third Manchester United game as you can guess from the screenshots, but they do play differently. Sensible had very 'blocky' player graphics, and although they did the job well enough they weren't exactly realistic. The sprites in Krisalis' effort are slightly smaller, but much more well-defined than those seen in Sensible Soccer.
There aren't any fancy graphics around the pitch like a stadium or dug-outs, but this doesn't really matter because you'll be so focused on the game that you'll not notice. The pitch surfaces can be varied; all the usual pitches are in there like the mud surface, but there are a couple of new ones like the foggy- and frosty pitch or the 'this game should've been abandoned' as we in the office like to call it!
At first control over the players is quite difficult, rather like the sensation you got when playing Sensible Soccer for the first time, but practice makes pefect and within no time at all you'll be spraying balls all over the pitch like Eric Cantona. You can make the players shoot, lob, pass head, chest and volley the ball. Volleying is particularly impressive because the balls roar across the screen like a nuclear missile and, of course if you manage to get the ball in the back of the net you can look very smug indeed.
Manchester United Premier League Champions has lots of little nice touches, like the replay function. Not only can you rewind, play and watch the action in slow motion, but you can watch your goals going form the opposite viewpoint. This was always a problem in Sensible Soccer when shooting down because you missed most of the action thanks to the goal being in the way. You can substitute your players, but normally in other products you have to wait until your players' legs are half falling off. Krisalis have rectified this problem because when a nasty tackle goes in it actually tells you what state your player is in, this makes those important managerial decisions a lot easier.
Another interesting little feature is the ability to name who takes the defensive and attacking free-kicks and more importantly who takes the penalties. OK, so it's maybe not that important, but it's a lot more realistic than having the player who got fouled take them.
It's all these nice touches which turns a very good game into a brilliant piece of software ant he only thing which I noticed that was left out was the ability to transfer players, but hey you can't have everything can you.
Although I detest Manchester United I have to say that Krisalis' Manchester United Premier League Champions would make it onto my top ten Amiga games ever. I've thrown away my copies of Sensible Soccer and Goal because Krisalis have created an ultimately more satisfying football game that will appeal to the true football fan.
The graphics are nicely presented and highly realistic. Couple this with its level of playability and addiction and you've got a hell of a game on your hands. The management element is what really makes the game for me because it makes the product far more interactive than previous football software.
You might have a problem in controlling your players at first, but over a short period of time you will start to master it. Krisalis have produced same damn fine footy games in the past, but this surpasses them all. I don't know how the games-buying public will take it, but I've not been able to put it down and I'm off to play it again as soon as I've scribbled these last few words down.
I could enthuse for most of the magazine about how good it is, but space forbids me doing that. I put my hand on my heart I advise you to buy it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Grimsby forward. Tony Ford makes his way towards Bolton's penalty area.
The nimble forward skips around a couple of defenders with the ball still glued to his feet.
Tony heads towards the corner of the pitch and then sends over a lethal cross.
The ball floats over the Bolton keeper and it's getting incredibly close to the net.
Oh my word! Tony Ford has curled the ball into the net. Grimbsy's second goal and it's all over bar the shouting.

Steve Bradley is a great admirer of Manchester United, so imagine his excitement when this new footie game landed on his desk.
Prepare for an Amiga footballing overload in the coming months. Why? It's World Cup year don't you know, and because our lot didn't get there we jolly well won't be watching it. So there. Come Summer, there are likely to be another five, six, maybe even seven new footer games released and the burning question is, will we still be playing Sensible Soccer or is there a pretender to the crown? To find out whether Manchester United Premier League Champions is that pretender, read on. It isn't.
This is Krisalis' third in the er, trilogy of all three Manchester United licences. Unlike the previous two which used a side-on is viewed from above. Essentially, Manchester United Premier League Champions (from now on we'll call it MUPLC) is a mix of Sensible-style arcade action combined with elements usually found in footie management sims. So you can either play a single game, or manage and play for a team throughout a season which involves both league and cup runs. Sounds OK so far?
Manchester United don't actually play a huge part in this. The club badge is on the credits along with Incie and The Boy Born With a Silver Football in His Mouth, but it's more a general footer game, so whether you love, loath, or are completely indifferent to Fergi's Red Devils it matters not a jot.
East Fife four
Mind, you have to listen to the crowd chanting: "Ferguson's red and white army". There's good news for fans of non-league teams because along with all the English clubs, there are a fair few sides from the lower end of the pyramid.
So you can play that Nortwich Victoria versus Witton Albion derby match you can always promised yourself. No Scottish teams though, which is a bit of a shame. But top marks to Krisalis for inputting a serious amount of team and player data. But no matter how many options there are, the important action takes place out on the park and if it plays badly, you really won't care how many blokes called Terry play for Bromsgrove Rovers. The top down view is tried and tested and it works fine. In fact, MUPLC visually resembles Sensible Soccer quite closely.
The first thing you notice is the speed - it's phenomenally fast, perhaps too fast. And although this can make for exciting action, it does make it difficult to play a short, controlled passing game. Krisalis really had the right idea (imitate Sensible SoccerMUPLC isn't as fluid or smooth as its Sensible counterpart, which is not to say it's bad, just that it could be better.
The game is an admirable attempt to combine both arcade action and management
All the teams have differing abilities. Man Utd are real sharpshooters with superquick players whereas say, Altrincham, are a bit easier to turn over. Krisalis have included something called a TactiGrid which enables you to position and utilise your players wherever you wish. And it works quite impressively. If you want all 10 outfield players t hug the right touchline, you can do it. And if you fancy changing tactics during the game you can zip to your TactiGrid and have a quick reshuffle.
Anyway, here's a few bad things about MUPLC. The borders around the screen are a tad wide - why? Couldn't they make the pitch any bigger? Match length is a standard four minutes, no more, no less. Considering that this game has over 3,000 players, each with individual statistics, surely they could have given us an option to play for a little bit longer. Distributing the ball from the goalkeeper accurately is tough, particularly if you want to just roll it to the full block.
Forfar five
So where does MUPLC stand? Firstly, although it isn't as good as Sensible Soccer, its many features make it a viable alternative, particularly for one layer wishing to guide a squad through a season. But as a two player game, it falls somewhat short of Sensible pride and joy and after playing MUPLC for a while, I felt the urge to boot up the old Sensi disks and play that instead. And I did.
Krisalis have made an admiral, it flawed attempt to combine addictive, arcade action with the rigours of management. And with a little more attention to detail on the arcade side, MUPLC could have been a real beauty - it is considerably better than the first two. As it is, it's my second favourite football game and if you're looking for a change from Sensible Soccer, MUPLC is the best alternative.

The arcade section of the game looks reasonably good and the kit detail is splendid.
The crowd noise is quite fuzzy but the chants are good. Rather average overall.
In one player mode, this is probably the best footie game if you play the whole season.
The TactiGrid works well and although I find the game a bit fast and furious, it's still fun.
I'm impressed. MUPLC has successfully combined arcade action and management tactics. Not quite in the Sensible class on playability, but it's heading the chasing pack.

Das erste Soccergame zur WM ist da! Nur schade, daß Krisalis' drittes Manchester-Spiel trotz der Umstellung auf die vertikale Scrollrichting à la "Sensible Soccer" oder "Goal" nicht der ganz große Reißer ist.
An mangelnder Auswahl liegt's nicht: Zwei Spielgeschwindigkeiten, Freundschaftsspiel, Pokal - und Ligamodus sind im Angebot, wobei nicht nur die Zahl (von 2 bis 64), sondern auch die Zusammenstellung der Mannschaften in weitem Umfang variierbar ist. Das geht sowohl per Hand als auch mit zufallsgesteuerter Computerhilfe, außerdem darf man festlegen, wie viele Punkte es für einen Sieg bzw. ein Unentschieden in der Liga gibt und ob man im Pokalmodus auf Verlängerungen, Elfmeterschießen oder Rückspiele Wert legt.
Beim Personal kann man auf einen Fundus von 2.500 englischen Kickern mit originaler Haar- und Hautfarbe zurückgreifen; deutsche Teams mußten leider draußen bleiben.
Der wichtigste Spielmodus ist natürlich die Saison, bei der bis zu vier Menschen erst ihre (relativ mageren) Managemententscheidungen treffen dürfen, bevor sie die Jungs über den Platz lenken. Und damit schließlich auch die Statistiker zu ihrem Recht kommen, sind acht Tabellen enthalten, denen sich u.a. die Leistungen bestimmter Spieler und Mannschaften, die Torschützen sowie Verletzungs- oder Sperrzeiten entnehmen lassen.
Vor jeder Begegnung kann man nun zwischen drei Trikots wählen, anschließend sieht man die eigene Aufstellung die des Gegners. Dieser Taktikscreen mit dem zehn Werte umfassenden Fähigkeitsprofil der Cracks (etwa zum Festlegen der Elfmaterschützen) ist allererste Sahne, doch auch während des Matches können Spieler und Taktiken noch gewechselt werden.
Dazu gibt's eine Replayfunktion mit Zeitlupe, aber ohne Abspeichermöglichkeit, sowie haufenweise gelbe und rote Karten - typisch english halt.
An der Steuerung der Feldspieler ist wenig auszusetzen, die vom Computer kontrollierten Torhüter sind schon fast zu gut. Für Abwechslung sorgen zudem die unterschiedlichen Platzverhältnisse: Nasser, trockener, sumpfiger, vereister, vernebelter sowie vernebelter und vereister Rasen müßten eigentlich für jeden Geschmack etwas bieten!
Wo viel Licht ist, da ist meist auch etwas Schatten: Wenn zu viele Kicker auf einmal über das Screen dribbeln, wird das Game sichtbar langsamer, im übrigen scrollt die spartanische Grafik aber tadellos, die Musik klingt ziemlich lahm, während die Effekte in Ordnung gehen.
Abspeichern läßt sich nur die Saison, was angesichts der maximal 64 Teams in den Pokal-wettbewerben ein schlechter Witz ist. Zudem erweist sich die Matchdauer als unveränderlich, die Namen der Spieler und Mannschaften können ebenfalls nicht editiert werden, und die deutsche Übersetzung enthält so manchen Lapsus.
Das Gameplay erreicht somit nicht ganz die Klasse von "Sensible Soccer", aber wer die in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten anstehenden Soccergames nicht mehr abwarten mag, darf ruhig schon hier aud den Digi-Rasen stürmen. (mm)

It's once, twice, three times a footy-game licence - can Krisalis pull off the treble? Or not? Eh?
Sometimes, in one of my other lives, I find myself reviewing games for various console magazines. Quite often console games being what they are, I'll be playing some Street Fighter 2-clone one-on-one beat-'em-up, and when I do, there's one recurring thought that comes to my mind. Why? What's the point?
WHen a game so far out in front at the top of its genre exists, why does anyone bother writing games which are just a pale shadow of it, identical in every meaningful way but diluted and inferior and bereft of what imagination there may have been in the original? And that's the thought that keeps on forcing its way back into my head when I'm playing Manchester United Premier League Champions (MUPLC from now on, thanks). It's not actually rubbish or anything, indeed it's probably one of the Amiga's top three football games. But we've already got one Sensible Soccer, thanks - we don't need another one with half the features taken out.
Actually, on second thoughts, that's a little unfair. While on first attempt this feels like playing Sensible Soccer six months before it was finished, a little persistence reveals its true nature - this is Sensible Soccer. for Kick Off fans.
It's true. After my first few games of MUPLC, I found myself travelling back, back in time to the almost-forgotten days before I worked on AMIGA POWER, when I first tried a new and enormously popular football game called Kick Off. I'd heard so much about it that I was almost beside myself with excitement, but when I finally got hold of a copy and started to play, I was crushingly disappointed.
It was stupidly fast, the ball flew around like it was ona pinball table, and nothing I seemed to do to the joystick appeared to have any kind of predictable effect on the on-field proceedings. It was one of the most intense and frustrating let-downs in my long gameplaying life, and I thought I'd seen the last of it.
But it's back. Holding 'up' on the joystick and pressing fire only to see the ball shot off diagonally backwards, overhead-kicking free kicks into my own net, giving away penalties, while the joystick sat unattended on the desk, all of these horrific experiences returned to haunt me while playing , and I'm not best pleased about it.
We've already got one Sensible Soccer, thanks
ONLY SING
MUPLC, you see, features a control system far closer to Dino Dini's original - kicking is actually triggered when you let go the fire button, not when you hit it - and it's so unnatural the game's almost crippled from the off. Sensible Soccer's one-tap automatic passing has consequently gone for a button too, and with it that game's possibility of smooth, flowing, skilful football, MUPLC is a much more reactive affair, where you have to belt the ball into space and then do the best you can with where it lands, rather than planning any clever stringing-together of deliberate passes.
Except it's all so fast (noticeable faster thanSensible, and rather too fast for my liking) that you don't get a chance to react properly either - you just have to waggle the joystick optimistically in the general direction you want to go and hope something useful results..
There's a far more unwelcome intrusion even than this, though - reality. You see, while MUPLC's players all have a wide range of statistical attributes roughly in line with their reall-life abilities, they're also human beings, and hence not infallible. Hence, while,MUPLC broadly adopts a ball-sticks-to-feet policy compared to Sensible's demanding dribbling, it's prone to realistically failing at random in the middle of a run.
So, you can be weavering down the wing, beating defender after defender on a wonderful mazy breakaway when suddenly you'll just lose control of the ball and it'll trickle away from your fee,t although you haven't done anything different to what you've been doing in the past 10 seconds when it was stuck to you like glue. This is a deliberately built-in feature (it also applies to aftertouch - better players can bend the ball better and more often than less-talented ones - and refereeing decisions), and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced in a football game.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - if I want an accurate and authentic simulation of real football physics, I'll go down the park with a sodding football. Always, always, always, the point of a computer game is that skilful players should do better at it than crap ones - when you start throwing in random elements, you completely knacker the whole shooting match. If I take a goalkick with my goalkeeper with the joystick held diagonally to the top right, I want the ball to go in that direction every single time.
What I don't want is for it one time to fly off so far to the right of the pitch that it goes straight out for a throw in, and another time for it to go in a dead straight line up the pitch, smack off the head of a defender standing in front of the keeper who then falls over in surprise, and bounce right into the path of an onrushing forward who sticks it into the back of the net while my (computer-controlled) goalkeeper flaps around like a dickhead.
Once things like that start happening, what's the point of holding the joystick at all? Why not just press fire to start the game, then have the ball bounce around completely at random for 90 minutes and go off your diner, coming back only to see what the result turned out to be? It's crap. Really.
As I've said, though, this feels a lot like Kick Off in play, and you might like that (if you're mad). So let's look at some of the less subjective elements of the game, for information purposes. You get about 150 teams to choose from the various English leagues (no Scottish, European, International or 'wacky' teams, unless you count the Krisalis side). You can't customise the players, the teams or their strips (although, oddly, you DO get to choose which of their three kits your opponents wear), and you can't alter the length of games, but you can choose whether you want extra time or not (although, unlike in Sensible, it comes either with penalties or not at all, you can't have extra time and then a replay).
This feels a lot like Kick Off in play
There are seven kinds of pitch, including a new 'foggy' option, and you can custom-build leagues (including awarding up to five points for a win and between nought and five for a draw) and cups, and give them names of your choosing, which you couldn't do in Sensible. Actually selecting the teams for competitions is a bit of an overcomplicated pain the bum, but that's hardly a major complaint.
MUPLC's big plus point is the TactiGrid™ system, which allows you to precisely tailor your team's formation. Each player can be individually assigned to a single square on the pitch (although obviously he'll still run around wherever necessary), so you're not restricted to five or six preset set-ups. You can even instruct your entire team to line up down the right-hand touchline if you like. You can access the TactiGrid™ at any deadball point during a match, which is great if you get into a 1-0 lead with 10 minutes to go and want to stick every single one of your men inside your own 18-yard box. (Of course, the unpredictable nature of the controls might make this a rather dangerous approach).
As an aside to this, you can even decide in advance which of your players you want to nominate to take penalties, attacking free-kicks and defensive free-kicks.
At the end of the day, though, eve the niceties of the TactiGrid™ are just window-dressing on an ill-considered and irritating game. Playing this, in both one-player and two-player modes, made me angry and frustrated, whereas playing Sensible had me shouting and pointing and jumping up and down in sheer excitement.
Down below in that On the Other Hand box, Steve's going to tell you this isn't as bad as I'm painting it, but remember - he still really likes Kick Off. As I said at the start, MUPLC is mostly almost exactly like Sensible Soccer but not nearly as good. So why bother?
SURELY THAT'S (NOT) A FOUL, REF?
It's nice to see another touch of realism in MUPLC - here, Chelsea (in the red-and-white) are putting intense pressure on the Millwall goal towards the end of a tight 0-0 tussle. It looks like no-one's going to break the deadlock, but...
The Chelsea no.20 (Glenn Hoddle) bears intently down on the keeper, as a Millwall defender closes in to tackle...
"Hello," thinks the ageing forward, "got to be a chance of a penalty here." With the defender's boot still a yard and a half away, the striker launches himself spectacularly into the air.
A sickening crunch of bodies later, Hoddle lies, apparently close to death, prone on the turf. The surprised fullback continues sliding past.
The ref awards the penalty. The defence and goalkeeper dejectedly troop back to their appointed positions, as Hoddle hams it up in the box for a bit longer.
But - hurrah! - justice is seem to be done, as the reverse angle replay shows Cascarino's poor kick being turned past the post by the Millwall keeper. It's a funny old game, football.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TACTICS
As I've already said, the best thing about MUPLC is the TactiGrid™. No more boring 4-3-3, 4-2-4, 4-4-2 options here, oh no. Just look at some of the novel and interesting combinations you can play around with.
1. The Paraonoid Agoraphobic - nervous of the wide green expanses of the pitch, the players huddle together in corners and talk about each other.
The Wimbledon - despite its name, this tactic can be used by any side.
The Tuning FOrk - this one's ideal for intimidating the opposing goalie... Basically a natural progression of the sweeper system.
The 1-0 Up With A Minute To Go - less predictable than you think. Fire the ball into the area and watch it ricochet around like a steel ball in an elastic band factory.
The Surprising Effective - this one once netted me six goals in 22 minutes. Knock the ball straight out to the side from goalkeeper or kick off, and watch as a terrifying horde descends diagonally on the opposition keeper. Even if you get tackled, there are so many players following up that the ball eventually ends up in the net through sheer weight of numbers. Do try to avoid passing out to the left wing by accident however.

Release: Out now
Stuart and I have something of an internal misunderstanding over this game. It's definitely not a pale shadow of Sensi. I'll admit that overall it isn't as good as Sensi, but it has saving graces that I much prefer. Stuart figures that it's much more natural to hit the fire button and then hold it down for the amount of power you want. I don't think it's as clear cut as that. You always prefer the control method that you're used to (or something like that), and MUPLC's kicking is more natural to me (I've played a lot of Kick Off 2).
Some of the bugs, however, are irritating. It seems far too easy to score an own goal from a flying header or whatever. The random element on the dribbling is fair, to be honest. It certainly discourages you from holding onto the ball too long. The potential is there for a passing game, though admittedly when I played Stuart, the game was more like a rough and tumble, first to the big hoof, Scottish Premier League game than a smooth passing Italian game. But it's definitely a game of skill - you kick them a bit and they kick you a bit. I'll repeat myself, it's not a Sensi beater, but it's close and I reckon it's definitely worth around 20 per cent more than Stu's given it here.

UPPERS It's Sensible Soccer, but for Kick Off fans.

It may have one of the longest names ever, but Tony Dillon finds Krisalis' latest football foray is every bit as good as the other snappier titles.
If there was ever a good reason for a software company to experiment with various types of football simulation, it has to be a hit licence. Can there be anyone, apart from Audiogenic with their Emlyn Hughes' season of games, who made more use of a soccer licence than Krisalis? I could attempt to list all the ways in which they have used the Manchster United name, but I fear I would run out of room. Some have been amazing, some have been dreadful, but Manchester United Premier League Champions is one of the best.
THE STEP OVER THE CLIFF
Some would say that Krisalis went as far as they could with the old side on, forced perspective view. Others would say that particular style of football game went out with the Commodore 64. Both parties will be happy to know that the latest release is a top-down approach, as used in practically every football game since Kick Off. if you thought that arcade football games had run out of new tricks to play, Manchester United Premier League Champions which from this point will be known as MUPLC to save wear and tear on my keyboard, will most definitely surprise you.
At first glance, it bears more in relation to Sensible Soccer than anything else. The players are quite small on screen, there is very little on-screen information (no scanner, the score only appears at important points in the match, along with the current time) and it can get quite fast and frantic. The teams have distinctive strips, and the ball is greatly affected by the type of pitch it is rolling on. There is a school of though that says Sensible Soccer is as far as this type of game can go before it becomes unplayable. I agree, but this still gets a huge mark due to all the work that actually goes on behind the scenes, rather than on the pitch itself.
If you have a licence of a real world team, then it makes perfect sense to set your game in the real world too. Every team in here, and there are hundreds to choose from, are all real teams with real players and, get this, real abilities. A Third Division team would never stand a chance against a Premier Division one, and that is shown in this game. Try to pit the two against each other, and you will discover for yourself exactly how outclassed you can be.
GET REAL MAN
The realism of the game has to be one of its strong points. By using real players, that are as up to date as it is possible to be, the game has its own built in difficulty level. If you are beginner to the game, then you should be able to hold your own against only the worst of the bottom division teams. As you progress through the game and become more competent, you will find the higher leagues easier and easier to play against until you can beat everyone.
Possibly this game's biggest strength is a single tactical screen called the Tactigrid. This marvelous invention allows you to tailor your formation and instruct individual players in a way never before seen in a computer football game. Forget programmed set pieces, throw away any preconceived notions about having fifteen different formations to play with.
The Tactigrid allows you to program the exact way your team plays, from how wide you want a defender to wing, to how many midfield players should run forward when it looks like game is going on the attack. On the Tactigrid screen you select your team from the full squad - not just the first team - by browsing through their statistics covering aspects such as stamina, speed and intelligence, and then you can set the overall layout of your play.
Thankfully, this screen can be pulled up at any point in the match, so you can change your playing tactics at any point. There is no better way to turn a match around, as I found when playing against an experienced human opponent for the first time. Within no time at all, I found that I could run the ball down the wing and then chip it into the box for an almost guaranteed goal every time. Half time cam, and my opponent moved his midfield players wide while bringing his defenders back into the box. In the second half I couldn't even get into the box, let alone score from it. This is really what makes the game as challenging as it is, and is the one facet that will bring you back to play it again and again.
Of course, you might actually be wondering what the game is really like to play. Surprisingly good, although the speed of the game might take a little adjusting to. It all seems to run a lot faster than previous games, particularly on the dry or frosty pitches, and the ball spends a lot less time in the air than it does in other games. What makes it so playable is the fact that the team works like a team. Players are where you would realistically expect them to be, responding to the flow of the game properly, instead of returning to some preset mark on the pitch as soon as they are off screen.
MUPLC is one hell of a good football game. Although the actual match itself might not be as smooth or fluid as Sensible Soccer, and the controls might not be as comprehensive as Goal!, the tactical side of the game gives you far more control over your team than either of those. One worth having in your collection.
MANAGEABLE HAIR
Something I've never been accused of having, but a weak link into one of the more unusual parts of the game. Along with all the usual fantasy league and cups that are par for the course with these games, Manchester United Premier League Champions features all sorts of other little charts, showing your progress through the leagues and seasons, lists of top goalscorers, highest scoring teams and all sorts of gubbins designed to appeal to the more managerial minded players out there. Funnily enough, the only difference between this and a managerial game is the buying and selling players option. Maybe it is saved for the sequel!
EASIER THAN SETTING THE TIMER
Like Sensible Soccer, MUPLC features an instant replay feature that lets you wind back from an especially impressive goal and watch it over and over again. If you like, you can watch it in slow motion, follow the action by focussing on a specific player, and even watch the action from the other side of the goal! Depending on the amount of memory you have, you can wind right back to the start of the match and watch the entire thing in slow motion. I can't think any better way to wind up your mates!

God, I hate Man Utd. I hate them because they think they're so bloody good at everything. And if I hear the name Ryan Giggs again I'm going (Home? - Ed) to explode in a terrifying example of the phenomenon known as spontaneous combustion.
Still, at least I can have my revenge upon them in the 'statistically correct' and 'highly realistic' MUPLC. Well, I would be able to if the game was any 'good' and I actually 'enjoyed' played the damn thing.
Readers with long-term memories (or issue 36) may remember dear old Stuart harping on about how this game wasn't Sensi, but more like Sensi for Kick Off fans. Now, not wishing to knock dear old Stuart, he was utterly wrong. Kick Off is a lot better than this.
But hey, this is the CD32 version, and maybe (just maybe) they've ironed out some of those awful faults - the peculiarly inconsistent controls, for example, and the 'realistic' wrong-footing during dribbling.
Nope, it's still exactly the same awful, uncontrollable, frustrating and downright unenjoyable game of football it ever was. Ironically, the non-playing sections (i.e, the management and stats) are comprehensive and atmospheric, and the 'tacti-grid' feature (whereby you can freely customise your team formation at any point in the game) is extremely impressive.
Perhaps if they'd beefed up the management elements and radically changed the weak-on-the-pitch (or perhaps dispensed with it entirely), they'd have ended up with a nice little game. But they didn't, and they haven't.
It's the same as the A1200 version, except there are a few nice pictures to look at. And that means that any serious football fan (or even any Man Utd supporters) should go and buy something else instead.

It's hard enough trying to review this game on a whole page, let alone half a page. After all, with a name the size of Manchester United Premier League Champions, how can you find room to actually say something about the game? So from now on I won't actually mention the name, I'll just get on with telling you about it.
Take your basic, run-of-the-mill top view arcade soccer game, somewhere between Football Glory and Sensible Soccer. Now add a touch of managerial flair to it, throw in every type of league, cup and fixture group you can think of, and finally a large dollop of usable, logical tactics for good measure, and you've pretty much got this game in one.
Essentially there are two parts to this game. The first is the tactical section, which I have to say is brilliant. You are presented with a little gizmo called a Tacti-Grid, which shows you the layout of your team. With this you can reposition players around the pitch as well as show them basically how to play (attacking, defensive, winger, etc).
Then you go into the second half of the game, which is a very playable arcade soccer setup, a la Sensi, and you can see how your tactics have worked. If they're failing, you can jump back out to the Tacti-Grid and try again.
The nice thing about it all is that tactics really do make a difference. If you notice that your opponent always passes into the box, then you can pull the defenders back and he or she will always be foiled. Similarly, you can look for weaknesses in their defence and exploit them, and that's what makes this such a superb game.
Forget the great presentation, or the dozens of photographs that appear throughout the CD version. It's the tactics and the gameplay that will make this one a clear winner.

Albemarle Care Fund Provides Care Packages to Employees
Growing the Good
Albemarle's Core Value of Care is a recognition of our concern for the safety and well-being of each other. This year, whether working on site or remotely, we have had to show extra Care to keep ourselves and others safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Albemarle Care Fund mobilizes during natural disasters and critical events to help employees. The Care Fund recently provided our US site employees with care packages to help them and their loved one stay healthy and safe. The packages included three Albemarle Care Fund branded face coverings, a bottle of hand sanitizer and an information sheet with tips on staying safe.
Many of our sites are operating with non-essential employees working remotely, so the Care Fund organized times for employees to pick up their packages at a drive-thru style event. “The Albemarle Care Fund recognizes our employees' commitment to safety and wanted to do something special for employees as the COVID-19 pandemic continues," said Sandra Holub, Director of The Albemarle Foundation and The Albemarle Care Fund. “The packages are a reminder to do our part in keeping each other and our communities safe."
SHOW US HOW #ALBCARES
If you are an employee who received a care package from the Albemarle Care Fund, be sure to snap a photo and tag #ALBCARES on LinkedIn to show us how you're protecting yourself and others!

How many homes will need to be built to cater to Canberra’s growing population?
Should Canberra's population increase at the rate it is going right now, 100,000 homes will need to be built across the capital.
Jessica TaulagatwitterEditorial Producer Dec 2, 2020
A simpler planning system is being proposed by the ACT government that would provide better outcomes for the city, should Canberra’s population continue to grow.
The government recently published six discussion papers that provided an overview of the proposed reforms which flagged possible changes to the territory’s planning system, as well as a review of the current system and an exploration of planning systems in other cities.
“The ACT government wants to ensure our planning system can cater to growth while protecting the character and diversity of our city,” ACT Planning and Land Management Minister Mick Gentleman said.
According to the territory government’s website, the city’s population is growing by approximately 8000 per year and if this rate of growth continues, 4000 homes will need to be built every year for the next 25 years.
That equates to 100,000 new homes across Canberra. So, what will this mean for Canberra’s property market?

Domain senior research analyst Dr Nicola Powell said the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the international border closures had, however, slowed down the city’s population growth.
“While that population growth is not going to be anywhere near what was initially forecast due to COVID, we will eventually get back on track over the next year or two,” she said.
“Canberra is a really attractive place to reside, particularly in light of how well the virus has been contained.”

Should this plan go ahead, the property market would see affordability within reach for some buyers, Dr Powell added.
“What we’ve seen in recent years is the affordability of buying a house has become stretched. Canberra has seen modest house price growth and the price gap between a unit and house has only widened,” she said.
“Depending on how quickly these homes will be built, it will help aid affordability and that is crucial in meeting the needs of those on low incomes, as well as meeting the needs of the city’s expanding population.”
Should this plan go ahead, the property market will see affordability within reach for some buyers.
Sam Dodimead of Blackshaw Projects said should Canberra’s population reach its anticipated growth projection, homes would see an uplift in prices.
“If you look at Canberra’s dispersed satellite town centres, each of those town centres have two or three premium neighbouring suburbs that people aspire to live in and that puts more pressure on dwelling values in those areas,” he said.
“Planning processes in Canberra are a bit difficult. It could take two to three years to get supply to the market so it will be difficult to scale up new developments, if there is an increase to the population … it will take a little while to reach that number of homes in a single year.”
The discussion papers had been underway since 2019 and were expected to be implemented next year, but the territory government said it would engage in further consultation in 2021.
“We have heard valuable feedback and ideas from the community and industry through extensive engagement, which has helped shape the reform work so far,” Mr Gentleman said.
“Canberrans have told us about what makes their areas special. Next year we will talk more with the community about how we can capture and protect these attributes in an improved planning system.”

Abstract: The new - and -manifold invariants recently constructed by Ozsváth and Szabó are based on a Floer theory associated with Heegaard diagrams. The following notes try to give an accessible introduction to their work. In the first part we begin by outlining traditional Morse theory, using the Heegaard diagram of a -manifold as an example. We then describe Witten's approach to Morse theory and how this led to Floer theory. Finally, we discuss Lagrangian Floer homology. In the second part, we define the Heegaard Floer complexes, explaining how they arise as a special case of Lagrangian Floer theory. We then briefly describe some applications, in particular the new -manifold invariant, which is conjecturally just the Seiberg-Witten invariant.

Meanwhile, Izumi Miyamura is seen as a brooding, glasses-wearing otaku. However, in reality, he is a gentle person inept at studying. Furthermore, he has nine piercings hidden behind his long hair and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder. By sheer chance, Hori and Miyamura cross paths outside of school—neither looking as the other expects. These seemingly polar opposites become friends, sharing with each other a side they have never shown to anyone else.

Olympus HSMT-Flex Scanner
Available for rental/hire from Ashtead Technology - the Olympus HSMT-Flex.
Add to basket Enquire now Datasheet Download
The HSMT-Flex™ is intended for one axis encoded inspection of circumference welds on pipes of 4.5 in. OD (114.3 mm) and greater. The scanner comes equipped with four probe holders but can be mounted with a total of eight probes with optional probe holders. Mounted probes can be either phased array or conventional UT for most efficient inspections.
The major characteristic of the scanner is its capacity to bend in the center. This allows the scanner to fit on smaller pipes and also to bring the force of the spring-loaded arm in the radial direction of the pipes for better stability of the wedge, and therefore, optimum data acquisition. For the same reason, optional probe holders that are installed on the outside of the scanner can also pivot.
The HSMT-Flex also allows one of its side frames to slide. This feature allows having the probes mounted on the outside of the scanner. This provides a configuration that is well-suited for hard-to-reach places such as pipe-to-component welds.
Techniques: Phased Array, ToFD
Pipe size from: 4.5"
Probes: Up to eight
The scanner bends at the centre allowing it fit on smaller pipes with better stability of the wedge, providing optimum data acquisition

Sport Australia’s Kate Palmer says now is the time to stop talking about ‘women’s sport’
Recreation / Sport /
Sport Australia Chief Executive Kate Palmer has expressed the view that talking about "women's sport" is no longer acceptable, stating that it's time to "rewrite the language of Australian Sport by dropping unnecessary, divisive labels, and erase the gender bias that has become accepted and ingrained".
Writing on Sport Australia website, Palmer states:
We need to drop the unnecessary, divisive labels, and erase the gender bias that has become accepted and ingrained.
There is no longer a place for the sub-category known as “women’s sport”. There is just sport. It belongs to all. It’s what everyone plays.
What has traditionally been divided into buckets should become mainstream. Everyone should feel welcome, worthy and equal.
Given that no sport is gender-exclusive, why do we continue to call it “women’s sport”? Especially now that, as a society, we recognise there are more than two genders.
We should not settle for the default position that football, for example, is what's played by men and there is something else called “women’s football” that needs to be differentiated. The connotation, almost inevitably, is that the “women’s” version is the inferior brand.
It need not be so. Sally Pearson is a hurdler, not a “women’s hurdler”. Just like the Campbell sisters are swimmers, Ellyse Perry is a cricketer, Sam Kerr a footballer and Steph Gilmore is a surfer.
Yet there is still an important distinction to be made: the one between “women’s sport” and the involvement of women in sport.
As a former CEO of Netball Australia, I’ve been fortunate to witness the huge advances over the past decade for what has traditionally been labelled “women’s sport”.
We have made one of the biggest shifts in the participation of women in sport in this country in the past five years, while the tipping point at the elite level came with the recent growth of domestic professional leagues and the rising profiles of national teams.
But let’s not be complacent because we still need still need to keep growing the role of women in sport.
We need to create more opportunity for participation, for developing leaders and coaches, increasing the number and importance of female roles across all levels of sport. We must continue to build on the significant progress that has already been made.
Sport Australia and the AIS is commencing a new Talent Program this year to specifically address the gross under-representation of women in high performance coaching and executive positions. In executive positions, women represent 22% of Board Chairs and just 13% of CEOs across more than 60 national sporting organisations that are funded by Sport Australia and the AIS.
The picture is no better for female high performance coaches, who represent less than 15% of coaches across Australia’s high performance system.
In partnership with the Office for Women, Sport Australia continues to manage the Women Leaders in Sport program that has assisted the professional development of more than 24,000 women since 2002.
As the current CEO of Sport Australia, I want to see the advancement of all sport. That means better opportunities for all Australians of every age, background, ability and gender. No more labels. Let’s just call it what it is: sport.
But as part of a new era, let’s remove the labels.
It was not so long ago that newspapers still published separate, token Women’s Sport columns. Written, of course, by women. Buried inside the sports section, far from the prestigious real estate of the back page, there might have been a brief netball item, leading into a few paragraphs on softball, followed by a cricket or golf snippet. Better still if the subjects were photogenic. Or posing provocatively.
The rest of the sports coverage was reliably devoted to more important and not-so-secret business: mens’.
From this year, Sport Australia is no longer offer a media award for the Best Coverage of Women in Sport which has stood since 2002. Instead, we have introduced a category honouring the Best Depiction of Inclusive Sport.
We remain committed to recognising and progressing women in the sports industry, but there is no better time for a statement that the world has moved on.
It’s saying we’re going to celebrate not just every woman who plays every sport, in the same way and as much as we do the men, but Australians of all genders.
It was interesting to read Roger Federer’s answer last year when asked to name the greatest tennis player of all time. After acknowledging he deserved to be in the conversation, Federer surprised many with his answer: Serena Williams.
Gender had not been specified in the question, but there was an assumption. There usually is.
One of the most vocal feminists in tennis is another multiple grand slam champion, Andy Murray. One of the few men to hire a female coach, having controversially appointed Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo, Murray corrected a reporter who hailed him as the first player to win two Olympic tennis gold medals. ‘I think Venus and Serena have won about four each’, he said.
A recent study by professors at Colombia and Stanford Universities in the US found that women benefitted from downplaying gender in the workplace. It made them more confident and positive that they could overcome challenges.
If we translate that into the sporting sphere and end the needless gender comparisons, we can celebrate that everyone is playing the same game and that athletes behave similarly and share many traits. Let’s end the great divide.
It’s just sport, Australia.

5-day Darwin to Katherine road trip
This five-day journey into the vast Katherine region is a deep dive into an ancient culture that will leave you transformed.
By Michael Wayne
Visitors to the Northern Territory are drawn to the cultural and spiritual richness of Kakadu, Arnhem Land and Katherine. The latter, a tropical town three hours from Darwin, feels a world away from the modern every day, and the journey to get there takes you deep into the outback’s primeval beauty. With a wealth of ancient culture and a good dose of Australiana along the way, this five-day round trip from Darwin takes in the icons of the region as well as its off-the-beaten-path gems.
Day 1: Darwin to Adelaide River, via the jumping crocs
Street art in Darwin, Northern Territory © Tourism Australia
Take to the skies
NT Air exclusively operates helicopter flights into Litchfield, and can take you from its Batchelor hangar to secret (and croc-safe) swimming spots inaccessible by road.
Drive time: two hours
Hire a car in Darwin but before you hit the road, take the time to get to know the Northern Territory capital a little better. Darwin has had plenty of facelifts in its day, but none quite as colourful as its Street Art Festival. The city’s back streets were first decorated in 2017 with eight bold, large-scale murals, followed by a further 16 in 2018 and 15 in 2019, with some even coming to life on your phone via augmented reality. Download the map from the website and go wandering.
If you want to go deeper into Darwin’s history, visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). Exhibits take you back to the harrowing midst of Cyclone Tracy, the terrible height of World War II and the pre-settlement world of Darwin’s traditional owners, the Larrakia people.
While not as well known as MAGNT, the Northern Territory Library is worth a visit. Hidden in a quiet corner of Darwin’s Parliament House, the library’s powerful A Territory Story exhibit chronicles the story of Aboriginal Australians in the Northern Territory.
Now it’s time to hit the road. It’s a 50-minute drive (and a slight detour) to experience a quintessential Northern Territory experience: a croc-spotting cruise down one of the Top End’s many beautiful rivers. Adelaide River Cruises runs one-hour jumping croc tours at various times throughout the day. Seeing a whopping crocodile leap from the water is something you just have to experience firsthand.
Now double back slightly towards Humpty Doo, and head on towards Adelaide River. Stop in at Batchelor, located on the edge of the massive Litchfield National Park, on the way. The town hosted an airfield during the war; check out the museum before continuing your journey a further half hour until you reach Adelaide River.
Stay: The Adelaide River Inn and Resort is an ideal spot to fill up both the car and its occupants. The pub is bursting with Australiana and is home to Charlie, the buffalo from Crocodile Dundee, who can be found ‘standing’ proudly and very still at one end of the bar; perfect for selfies.

Day 2: Adelaide River to Litchfield National Park and Katherine

Don’t be intimidated by the idea of an outback road trip. The road from Darwin to Katherine is quite accessible and distances are reasonable – you don’t even need a 4WD.
Drive time: about 30 minutes from Adelaide River to Litchfield National Park, and 2.5 hours to Katherine.
Walk down from the Adelaide River Inn and Resort to the Adelaide River War Cemetery, the peaceful resting place of 434 service personnel and 63 civilians, and take a moment to reflect before starting your day.
Now it’s time to head to Litchfield National Park to spend the better part of the day exploring some of its many wonders, from giant termite mounds to stunning waterfalls and idyllic swimming spots. There’s an abundance of walking tracks, as well as a number of tours available throughout the park.
Set off from Litchfield National Park for the 2.5-hour journey to arrive in Katherine in time for dinner; options range from good food in a lovely setting at Fig Tree Bistro to Chinese cuisine at Loong Fong and an outback dinner under the stars at Marksie’s Stockman’s Camp Tucker, just outside of town.
Stay: Katherine’s accommodation caters to all budgets and tastes. For something on the luxury side, consider Cicada Lodge. Those wanting to stay close to one of the area’s most popular attractions – Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge – book into Nitmiluk Cabins and Campground. Those on a budget will find plenty of motel and dorm options close to Katherine’s bars and restaurants.
Explore Litchfield National Park
Day 3: Explore Katherine and surrounds
Bitter Springs, Mataranka, Northern Territory © Tourism NT
Immerse yourself in Katherine’s ancient culture with a visit to Top Didj Cultural Experience and Art Gallery just outside of town. Create dot paintings and learn how to wield a boomerang or a woomera.
Katherine, the Northern Territory’s third-largest town, is situated on the banks of the Katherine River and has long been a site of great significance to its Aboriginal owners: the Jawoyn, Dagoman and Wardaman people.
Head to the Black Russian Caravan Bar and grab breakfast and a coffee before perusing local art. The styles and crafts of local artists converge at the Mimi Arts and Crafts centre, which is Aboriginal owned and operated, and showcases the wide range of art Katherine inspires.
Once you’ve explored the town, drive an hour south-east to the best-kept secret in the region – Bitter Springs in Elsey National Park. A spring-fed thermal pool with a temperature of around 34 degrees Celcius (93 degrees Fahrenheit), it’s a great place to unwind (pool toys and floaties are encouraged). Stop for refreshment afterwards at Stockyard Gallery café in the small town of Mataranka, a five-minute drive from Bitter Springs, and then head back to Katherine for dinner.

Day 4: Katherine to Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge
Katherine Gorge, Northern Territory © Tourism NT/Jason Charles Hill
Drive time: about half an hour
For many visitors to Katherine, Nitmiluk National Park and Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge is the reason they come. The deep sandstone gorge carries the Katherine River from Kakadu through the town of Katherine itself, and is a haven for saltwater crocodiles during the tropical summer. In the dry season, however, it’s a paddler’s paradise.
While you can explore the national park on foot, the best way to experience Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge is on the water. Cruises along the Gorge are available as half-day, full-day or even overnight adventures with Nitmiluk Tours, but the sunset cruise is perhaps the most enchanting.
Those without sea legs may prefer to take flight. Whether by light plane or helicopter, Nitmiluk Gorge from the air offers an entirely different – but no less incredible – perspective.

Day 5: Katherine to Darwin via Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park
Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park, Northern Territory © Tourism NT/Lachlan Gardiner
Drive time: about 1 hour to Umbrawarra, and about 2.5 hours to Darwin
In contrast to the tourist-friendly Nitmiluk, Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park – on the way back to Darwin – feels raw and wild (and it’s 4WD-access only during the wet season from October to April). Traces of ancient rock art by the land’s traditional Wagiman owners can still be seen on the walls of the gorge, too.
Though you can walk to the gorge, further trekking must be done through the water. It’s worth the journey, but check crocodile activity before you go.
Back in the car on the Stuart Highway heading to Darwin, you’ll have a greater appreciation for the vast land up north. As they say in the Northern Territory, you’ll never never know if you never never go.

Intel: Podcast Series - Episode 2
Topic: Looking horizontally
Publishing date: Wednesday, 29 April 2020
Rainbow Chan: vocalist, producer and multi-disciplinary artist.
Hear tips from artist Rainbow Chan, about the importance of listening to the room, slowing down, and looking horizontally – as strategies for both working interculturally, and getting through this global crisis.
This Hong Kong spring, interdisciplinary artist Rainbow Chan was supposed to be on residency at West Kowloon Cultural District, an exchange with Performance Space, and at Art Central Hong Kong, presented by 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. She would have been developing work in collaboration with her Weitou elders, sharing their folksongs and female narratives, as one of Hong Kong’s first peoples. With national borders now closed, and generations physically isolating from each other, Rainbow is at home in Sydney, making music for her audiences online, and writing about counterfeit cultures (real fakes and fake reals).
In this episode, Rainbow Chan talks about the importance of listening to the room, slowing down, and looking horizontally – as strategies for both working interculturally, and getting through this global crisis.
Featured in this episode is Rainbow Chan’s track "Oblivion" from her album Pillar (2019), independently released and available as vinyl or the digital LP from her Bandcamp.

Rolls-Royce 102EX Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery
At the grand opening of the Rolls-Royce dealership in Chicago's Gold Coast area, Kicking Tires got the chance to sit down with David Archibald, president of Rolls-Royce North America. On discussion was the general business strategy of the ultra luxury brand and how electrics play into that.
Since its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the 102EX Concept electric vehicle has been making the rounds at various events and dealerships. The automaker is even letting customers drive the concept back-to-back against the Phantom (on which it is based) to get an idea if it has market potential. According to Automotive News initial feedback has been a bit lackluster, with the 100-mile range being the biggest hurdle.
However, Archibald pointed out, "If you'd have come here 12 months ago and asked our customers, 'What do you think about alternative fuels,' they would have said, 'What are you talking about.'" Now, that's starting to change as new electric vehicles are pretty much popping up weekly.
Still, no decision has been made regarding a production electric or hybrid. With alternative fuels now on the minds of even a luxury car buyer, it sounds to us like it's not a matter of if but when.

Ricciardo wants Stroll lunge discussed at Hungarian GP drivers' briefing
By Alex Kalinauckas

Formula 1 RSS feed
Daniel Ricciardo wants Lance Stroll's late-Styrian Grand Prix overtake, which put both off-track but was not penalised, to be discussed in the drivers' briefing for Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix.
The incident, which occurred on the penultimate lap of last weekend's race at the Red Bull Ring's tight uphill Turn 3, led to both cars ending up in the run-off area beyond the right-hander as McLaren's Lando Norris closed in and also passed Ricciardo as a result.
After the race, Ricciardo called Stroll's move "desperate", while the Racing Point driver felt the move that the Styrian GP stewards deemed a racing incident was "an opportunity - a very small one and I went for it".
When asked if that call had set a bad precedent by Autosport, Ricciardo said: "I've never wanted to have the rules so tight that it discourages us to race.
"So I don't want it that we're kind if driving on eggshells and scared to pull the trigger. But of course, there's trying and also failing.
"Obviously both of us went off track, me because if I turn in we crash, but he also brought himself off the track with it.
"So, he tried a move, which he was in completely in his right to do so. I left room, which I guess I shouldn't have, but he obviously tried and because we both went off I see that as a failed attempt.
"So, the position should have been given back. For me that's pretty crystal clear.
"I think if he made the corner and kind of squeezed me off, then I accept that and that's a move, but to get both of us off - yeah, that's where it's like 'I don't see how that works' - in any situation I guess.
"But we'll talk about it - we'll talk about it in the drivers' briefing and see everyone's opinion [and] what they say.
"I can't see any driver saying 'yeah, that's a clean a move - that's how it's going to work', because it just never adds up like that."
Ricciardo explained that he did not "think it was Lance's intention to take both of us off", but feels a late move - one of many that were made at the same point across the two races in Austria - with such consequences needs to be discussed with the officials so the drivers can get clarity.
"I'm sure when he went down the inside he knew it was going to be tight because it was already quite narrow and he came from a fair way back," he said.
"But I don't think he expected or wanted both of us to go off track.
"But obviously he just kept his foot into it and said 'alright if I get a penalty I do, if not then I'll claim the move'.
"So I don't think it's necessarily something that you need to discuss with the drivers [on an individual basis] - as if like 'that was a dirty move what were you thinking?'
"It's more that this needs to be spoken too as a group, with us drivers and the stewards together to try and educate everyone on what we think is right and wrong.
"I don't expect Lance, for example, to go and do this this weekend and think he's going to get away with it all the time.
"But that's where we need to talk on probably Friday in the drivers' briefing."

Skoda to launch the Karoq in India by mid-2020
By autoX Editorial | on May 28, 2019
The new Skoda Karoq will initially take the CBU route and, then, as per the demand, the company will look into the possibility of assembling it here in India.
Skoda has confirmed that the Karoq will make its debut in India in mid-2020. Despite the rumours suggesting that this new SUV will be assembled at the Aurangabad plant, the Karoq will be a full import and later, based on demand, the Czech automobile manufacturer will decide whether to assemble it here or not. Skoda India has also confirmed that India will receive the European spec Karoq and not the Chinese one, as the latter's wheelbase is 50mm longer.
Skoda Auto India, under its India 2.0 project, continues to be committed to heavily localise its new vehicles that come under this umbrella. So the question arises, why have they gone take the CBU route for the Karoq? As per the new import norms introduced by the government, a manufacturer is allowed to import 2,500 units of vehicles without any homologation. This gives Skoda an opportunity to introduce the new compact SUV into the Indian market without any manufacturing or assembling investment and, at the same time, understand the needs and requirements of SUVs buyers.
Even though the Karoq replaces the Yeti, the new SUV is bigger and a lot more premium. Based on Volkswagen’s MQB platform like the Kodiaq, Octavia and Superb, globally the Karoq is available in four engine options. The petrol version comes with a 3-cylinder 114bhp 1-litre turbocharged unit or a 4-cylinder 148bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged motor. Coming to the diesel options, there is a 114bhp 1.6-litre engine and a 2-litre motor, which is available in two trims – 148bhp and 188bhp. The bigger diesel engine also offers a 4x4 option. All four powerplants are available with a six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed DSG automatic.

Guard Moves to New Online Pay, Personnel System
Photo by: U.S. Army National Guard
The Army National Guard has fully transitioned to the Army’s modernized human resources system, becoming the first component to make the leap from a 1970s-era system of delays and lost paperwork to an electronic system accessible quickly and remotely by every soldier.
The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A) is an online, data-driven human resources system that combines personnel, pay and talent management capabilities into a single place. On March 24, there were 331,000 National Guard soldiers using it live, officials said.
The move comes as thousands of Army National Guard soldiers are mobilized to help their local communities combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The goal is to complete fielding IPPS-A to the entire Army by December 2021, Roy Wallace, assistant deputy chief of staff of the Army for personnel, said during a March 31 virtual media roundtable. At that point, he said, there will be more than 1 million soldiers using it.
Wallace, a retired finance and accounting officer who “spent 27 years of my adult life paying soldiers and keeping an over 30-year-old payroll system alive,” said this new system is “a game changer” for National Guard soldiers and will be for everyone once the transition to the entire Army is completed.
“We were paying our soldiers in an industrial age methodology; today, we’re moving toward that information age with IPPS-A, and as of the 24th of March, we have all 54 states and territories of the Army National Guard on it,” Wallace said.
With more than 14,000 members of the Army National Guard mobilized in support of the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, the system has proven its worth, said Lt. Col. June Copeland, a senior National Guard IPPS-A liaison.
The IPPS-A, she said, can code soldiers’ pay according to the mission they are performing. “It doesn’t say whether a soldier is supporting the hospital, but it says whether the soldier is supporting a state active-duty versus a national-level active-duty” mission, she explained.
Wallace noted that once it is fielded to the Regular Army and Army Reserve, the IPPS-A system will provide an unprecedented view of the total Army, including details of individual soldiers’ talents and skills. The IPPS-A system, he said, will also make obsolete myriad workarounds developed over the decades to audit the system.
Col. Gregory Johnson, chief of the IPPS-A functional management division, described the effort of getting the Guard onto the system as “monumental.”
“This is good news from us. We find it ecstatic,” Johnson said. “The National Guard kind of led the Army into the future.”
Johnson said the Guard is “setting the foundation” to operationalize the Army People Strategy, an initiative introduced by Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville when he took over as chief in September. The IPPS-A system is a cornerstone of McConville’s initiative, which prioritizes soldiers, families and Army civilians.
Concerns about privacy with the new system have been addressed with the establishment of a set of permissions, Wallace said. For example, a battalion’s companies cannot see one another’s data, but the battalion leadership can. Along those lines, a battalion’s information is not visible to other battalions, but it is to the brigade commander.
“The director of the Army Guard can see all of his Army Guard units, but perhaps Alabama can’t see Illinois,” Wallace said. “Because in order to protect privacy, the system allows you to see what you are in control of.”

Too Hot To Ignore: Ben & Jerry’s And The Youth-Led Climate Movement
By now it seems everyone is aware of the growing global climate crisis. (And if you’re not: Hello! There’s a growing climate crisis!) Sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting faster than that bowl of Cherry Garcia, and extreme weather events are becoming more and more common. And, of course, temperatures are at all-time highs.
Scientists are very clear: We are almost at the point where there’s no turning back. By 2040, climate change’s most devastating impacts will be upon us and we’ll have very little recourse. That means that we need to take action now. Before global temperatures reach 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and there’s no way to turn off the heat.
Scooping Up A Solution
So, what’s the solution? How do we get 7.5 billion people all to agree to a low-carbon, earth-friendly existence? Most importantly, how do we get world leaders on board with putting people and planet before short-term profits?
The answer? We get as many people as possible to get as loud as possible for a zero-carbon future.
And that’s exactly what the youth organizers of the Global Climate Strike are doing this September 20th - 27th. Join what is scheduled to be the largest single day of action on climate change in history, in cities all over the globe, to let world leaders know that we will not stop until they take action. We will not settle for anything less than a commitment to a zero-carbon future. We will not let them decide for us what our future will be.

We Can’t Do This Alone
Look, we’re an ice cream company. We purchase ingredients from all over the world, we transport them to our ice cream factories in Vermont and the Netherlands, and we turn them into your favorite flavors. We then ship these euphoric pints of goodness all around the world so you can find them at your local Scoop Shop or grocer. From cow to cone, if we’re honest, our business has a sizable carbon footprint, about 1 kilo per 500ml container. That’s not to say we haven’t worked hard over the years to reduce it. From solar power at our Waterbury, VT factory and the Chunkanator at our Hellendoorn plant that turns ice cream waste into clean energy, to being one of the first companies to adopt Science Based Targets for our greenhouse gas emissions, we work hard to tread as lightly on the planet as we can.
However, we understand that this is not a fight we can win alone. The truth is, if we shut down Ben & Jerry’s tomorrow, our planet would still be headed over a cliff. Which is why the fact that young people from all around the world are organizing the Global Climate Strike from September 20th to 27th is so important and inspiring. Young people are calling on world leaders to take the kind of urgent action needed to transition the world away from fossil fuels. These young leaders, many from frontline and impacted communities, are calling on adults to act like their house is on fire, because it is.
This crisis can’t be avoided with individual action, either by people or corporations. We all have a responsibility to take steps to reduce our own footprint, but if we’re committed to taking steps as individuals, we must all feel compelled to join together collectively to hold our elected leaders accountable. Since adults have been slow to act, youth are now leading this movement, and that gives us hope.
As part of our support of the Global Climate Strike, we’ll be disrupting our own business as usual on September 20th. We’ll be shutting down our corporate headquarters, slowing our manufacturing lines, providing transportation for employees to local events, and closing our Scoop Shops during the strikes. We’re pleased that many other companies are taking similar actions.
Please join us in following the lead of this youth movement. They’re counting on us to stand with them.

EVJ Article Summaries 2018
Synovial sepsis
Synovial sepsis is rare following intrasynovial medication in equine ambulatory practice
Smith, L.C.R., Wylie, C.E., Palmer, L., Ramzan, P.L.
This retrospective study aimed to determine the incidence of synovial sepsis following intrasynovial medication in a single UK ambulatory practice.
Clinical records of all horses undergoing intrasynovial medication between January 2006 and December 2011 were analysed. Intrasynovial injections performed for diagnostic analgesia were not included in the study. The hair overlying the injection site was not routinely clipped and the site prepared for a minimum of 5 minutes using a combination of chlorhexidine gluconate and surgical spirit. Sterile gloves and new vials of medication were used, with concurrent use of amikacin sulphate being dependent on clinician preference. A bandage was usually placed following medication of synovial spaces of the distal limb.
In total, 9456 intrasynovial medications were included in the study. Four cases (0.23%) of post-medication synovial sepsis occurred in four individual horses, with sepsis being detected 1–17 days post-medication. Synovial sepsis developed following middle carpal joint medication in three horses and following metacarpophalangeal joint medication in one horse. Two of these cases were medicated with polysulphated glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronate (one of which also received concurrent medication with amikacin sulphate) and two were medicated with triamcinolone acetonide and hyaluronate.
Bottom line: The frequency of synovial sepsis in this population of horses treated by ambulatory veterinarians was low.
Effects of detomidine CRI
Sedative and antinociceptive effects of different detomidine constant rate infusions, with or without methadone in standing horses
Gozalo‐Marcilla, M., de Oliveira, A. R., Fonseca, M. W., Possebon, F. S., Pelligand, L., Taylor, P.M., Luna, S. P. L.
In this blinded, randomised placebo‐controlled study the sedation quality and antinociceptive effects achieved following administration of different sedation protocols involving a detomidine loading dose and 2-hour constant rate infusion, with or without methadone were investigated.
Seven healthy horses with docile temperaments aged between 9 and 11 years were randomly assigned to one of five intravenous sedation protocols: saline (placebo), detomidine low dose (2.5 μg/kg bwt + 6.25 μg/kg/h; DL), DL combined with methadone (0.2 mg/kg + 0.05 mg/kg/h; DLM), detomidine high dose (5 μg/kg + 12.5 μg/kg/h; DH) or DH combined with methadone (DHM). Height of head above the ground, electrical, thermal and mechanical nociceptive thresholds and gastrointestinal motility were evaluated several times throughout the sedation period by a blinded investigator. All horses received all treatment protocols, with a one week wash out period between protocols.
DHM resulted in the highest thresholds for all stimuli. DH and DLM provided similar antinociception. DL did not produce any anti-nociception, but when combined with methadone (DLM) anti-nociception was mild and similar to that observed with DH. Cardiovascular function was maintained well within acceptable limits in all horses undergoing all treatments.
Bottom line: A higher dose of detomidine combined with methadone may provide better antinociceptive effects in horses undergoing procedures under standing sedation.
PPID in donkeys
Evaluation of dynamic testing for pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction diagnosis in donkeys
Mejia‐Pereira, S., Perez‐Ecija, A., Buchanan, B.R., Toribio, R.E., Mendoza, F.J.
This prospective study by S. Mejia‐Pereira and colleagues in Spain and the USA aimed to evaluate dynamic testing for PPID in donkeys.
Six donkeys with clinical signs consistent with PPID and a basal adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentration >50 pg/mL were included in the study. A dexamethasone suppression test (DST), thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test and combined DST-TRH challenge were performed in all animals during the summer months with a 1‐week washout period between tests.
The TRH stimulation test identified all six donkeys as having PPID, whereas the DST and the DST-TRH identified 3/6 and 4/6 donkeys, respectively. Agreement between the DST and the DST-TRH tests was poor.
Bottom line: The TRH stimulation test is recommended as a dynamic test for the diagnosis of PPID in donkeys.
KETAMINE DOSAGE FOR CASTRATION
A comparison of two ketamine doses for field anaesthesia in horses undergoing castration
Harðardóttir, H., Murison, P.J., Blissitt, K., Olason, S., Clutton R.E.
This prospective, randomised, blinded study by Hulda Harðardóttir and colleagues in the UK and Iceland compared two doses of ketamine (2.2 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg i.v.) for induction of anaesthesia in 77 Icelandic horses undergoing field castration. Prior to induction horses were sedated with xylazine (0.7 mg/kg), butorphanol (25 μg/kg) and acepromazine (50 μg/kg) i.v. and sedation quality was assessed 5 minutes later. Horses were randomly allocated one of the two ketamine doses and induced with intravenous ketamine and diazepam (30 μg/kg). Induction quality, surgical conditions and recovery were assessed using subjective and objective measures.
Horses that received the higher dose of ketamine became relaxed more rapidly after induction, and surgical conditions were better; however recovery quality was subjectively worse. Five horses that received the lower dose of ketamine required additional ketamine doses during anaesthesia compared to only two that received the higher dose.
Bottom line: A ketamine dose of 5 mg/kg i.v. may result in better surgical conditions but adversely affects recovery quality for field surgery.
SUSPENSORY BRANCH INJURY
Surgical management of marginal tears/avulsions of the suspensory ligament branches in 29 Thoroughbred racehorses
D.T.N. Kadic, G.J. Minshall and I.M. Wright
This retrospective case study by Dimitri Kadic and colleagues at Newmarket Equine Hospital in the UK aimed to report the characteristics of lesions of the abaxial margin of the suspensory ligament branches (SLB) and to describe their surgical management and outcome.
A total of 32 horses were diagnosed with abaxial marginal tears/avulsions of the SLB at Newmarket Equine Hospital between 2007 and 2015. Of those, 29 had the diagnosis confirmed by surgical exploration and were therefore included in the study. All were Thoroughbreds in flat race training with time of injury varying from acute to several months prior to referral.
At presentation, 75% (n = 24) of horses were lame and the majority (75.8%, n = 22) had forelimb lesions, with the lateral SLB being the most commonly affected (81.1%; n = 26). In all cases, there was disruption of the palmar/plantar abaxial margin adjacent to the proximal sesamoid bone with a hypoechoic to anechoic defect and extrusion of echogenic material. At surgery, lesions had consistent locations and morphology of palmar/plantar defects in the epidesmon containing bundles of haemorrhagic ligament fibres that had avulsed from the PSB. The affected SLB fibres were removed by sharp dissection and debrided with a motorised surgical resector. Nineteen horses (66%) went on to race, with a range of 1–27 race starts (mean 9; median 4). Four horses that went on to race did not win or place.
Bottom line: Lesions of the abaxial margin of the suspensory ligament branches appear to show consistent features, suggestive of a single pathologic entity, which differs from other types of suspensory ligament branch injuries.
UMBILICAL RESECTION
Short‐term outcome and risk factors for post‐operative complications following umbilical resection in 82 foals (2004–2016)
L. Reig Cordina, S.R. Were and J.A. Brown
This study from the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in the USA aimed to identify risk factors associated with post‐operative complications in foals undergoing umbilical remnant resection and to report the short‐term outcomes.
Foals that underwent umbilical remnant resection to treat infection, patent urachus or a combination of the two between 2004 and 2016 were included in the study. A total of 82 foals met the inclusion criteria with a mean age of 13 days at the time of surgery. Forty‐two foals (51.2%) underwent surgery due to infection, 20 (24.4%) due to patent urachus and 20 (24.4%) had both. Concurrent diseases were present in 50 foals (60.6%) prior to surgery, 20 of which had multiple concurrent conditions, with diarrhoea (n = 19) and septic arthritis and/or physitis (n = 19) being the most common.
Seventy‐three (89%) foals survived to discharge. Concurrent septic arthritis and/or physitis were the only predictors of nonsurvival. Thirty‐two foals (39%) had post‐operative complications, with anaesthesia time and failure of passive transfer (FPT) being significant risk factors.
Bottom line: Failure of passive transfer and longer anaesthesia times were associated with increased odds for post‐operative complications. Short‐term survival of foals undergoing surgical excision of umbilical remnants is favourable but may be adversely affected by concurrent septic arthritis and/or physitis.
FLUNIXIN MEGLUMINE AND FIROCOXIB
Multicentre, blinded, randomised clinical trial comparing the use of flunixin meglumine with firocoxib in horses with small intestinal strangulating obstruction
Ziegler, A.L., Freeman, C.K., Fogle, C.A., Burke, M.J., Davis, J.L., Cook, V.L., Southwood, L.L. and Blikslager, A.T.
In this blinded, randomised study the authors aimed to determine whether the COX‐2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) firocoxib would reduce the signs of endotoxaemia to a greater extent compared to the nonselective COX inhibitor flunixin meglumine in horses with small intestinal strangulating obstructions (SISO).
Fifty-six horses ≥1 year of age that underwent surgical correction of a SISO were randomly allocated to be treated with either flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg bwt i.v. q. 12 h) or firocoxib (0.3 mg/kg bwt i.v. loading dose then 0.1 mg/kg bwt i.v. q. 24 h). Pre- and 12‐, 24‐ and 48‐h post‐operative plasma samples were assessed for markers of endotoxaemia including tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and soluble CD14. COX‐2 selectivity was confirmed by the relative lack of inhibition of the COX‐1 prostanoid thromboxane B2 (TXB2). Pain scores were assigned by personnel blinded to NSAID allocation using a standardised system every 12 h in the first 3 days post‐operatively, and then every 24 h for the following 3 days.
There was no significant difference in pain scores, the use of additional analgesia, the incidence of clinical signs attributable to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), or survival to discharge between groups. There were no significant differences in TNFα and mean sCD14 levels between the two groups at any point; however, at 48 h post‐operatively, 26.9% of horses treated with flunixin meglumine had sCD14 levels exceeding the upper limit of the reference range as compared with 8.33% of horses treated with firocoxib.
Bottom line: Use of firocoxib following surgery for SISO results in similar levels of pain control as compared with horses treated with flunixin meglumine, but firocoxib horses have reduced evidence of endotoxaemia at 48 h post‐operatively as detected by measuring sCD14.
ERU AND LEPTOSPIRA
Detection of intraocular Leptospira spp. by real-time polymerase chain reaction in horses with recurrent uveitis in Belgium
Sauvage, A.C., Monclin, S.J., Elansary, M., Hansen, P. and Grauwels, M.F.
This study aimed to establish the prevalence of intraocular Leptospira spp. in the aqueous and vitreous humour of horses with equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) in Belgium.
Samples were obtained as part of the diagnostic work-up from 66 eyes from 59 client-owned horses admitted to the Equine Clinic at the University of Liège in Belgium between May 2015 and December 2017 with a history and an ophthalmic examination consistent with ERU and post-mortem from 50 healthy eyes from 28 horses euthanised for unrelated reasons. In the ERU group, only the affected eyes were sampled, with both humours of the same eye being sampled and analysed in 47/66 eyes. In the control group, both the aqueous and vitreous humours were sampled in all 50 eyes. Real‐time PCR for the detection of Leptospira spp. was performed.
In the ERU‐group the prevalence of Leptospira spp. was 30.3% (20/66 eyes from 19 horses), whereas all samples from the control group tested negative. Leptospira spp. were identified in 11/63 aqueous and 17/50 vitreous humour samples, with eight horses testing positive in both humours and one horse testing positive in both eyes.
Bottom line: Leptospirosis is a potential cause of ERU in Belgium, and both intraocular media should be tested when possible.
OVERGROUND ENDOSCOPY
Serial evaluation of resting and exercising overground endoscopic examination results in young Thoroughbreds with no treatment intervention
McGivney, C.L., Sweeney, S., Gough, K.F., Hill, E.W., Katz, L.M.
This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether the severity of upper respiratory tract disorders in Thoroughbred racehorses identified using overground endoscopy varied over serial examinations.
Video recordings from overground endoscopic examinations (OGE) of Thoroughbreds in flat‐race training from one training yard between September 2012 and April 2016 were analysed. Horses were included in the study if they underwent ≥2 OGE during a sprint training session over an identical distance on the same track, were wearing the same tack for all examinations and had not undergone any surgical intervention between examinations. Endoscopic recordings were blindly evaluated by a single observer and standard grading schemes applied.
A total of 72 horses had both pre‐exercise and ≥2 exercising OGE recordings available. At exercise, 94% of horses had at least one URT abnormality, whereas 79% had ≥2 concurrent abnormalities. There was poor agreement between examinations for the severity of palatial instability, epiglottic grade, medial deviation of the aryepiglottic fold, pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia and intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (iDDSP) at all stages of exercise. Only 3/14 horses with iDDSP at exercise consistently displaced at each OGE.
Bottom line: There can be significant variation in URT disorder grade/appearance between multiple OGE examinations.
OCULAR DISEASE IN AGED HORSES
Prevalence of owner‐reported ocular problems and veterinary ocular findings in a population of horses aged ≥15 years
Malalana, F., McGowan, T.W., Ireland, J.L., Pinchbeck, G.L., McGowan, C.M.
This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterise owner‐reported ocular disease in an aged population of horses in southeast Queensland.
Owners of horses and ponies aged ≥15 years old that were members of Queensland Equestrian Federation Association were asked to complete a questionnaire relating to the signalment, history and perceived clinical signs of their horse(s). A subset of these horses then underwent an ophthalmological examination.
Questionnaires were completed for 974 horses, 327 of which subsequently underwent an ophthalmological examination. Out of the 974 horses, only 3.3% (n = 32) had owner-reported ocular problems. The most commonly owner-reported problems were diminished vision, uveitis and corneal abnormalities. In contrast, 87.8% (n = 287) of the subset that underwent an ophthalmological examination had minor‐to‐severe ophthalmic disease, including abnormalities of the retina and optic nerve (84.4%), cataracts (34.3%) and corneal abnormalities (13.9%).
Bottom line: Ocular disease in horses aged ≥15 years in southeast Queensland is common, but is under-recognised by owners.
EXHALED BREATH CONDENSATE ANALYSIS
Exhaled breath condensate hydrogen peroxide, pH and leukotriene B4 are associated with lower airway inflammation and airway cytology in the horse
S. du Preez, S.L. Raidal, G.S. Doran, M. Prescott and K.J. Hughes
This prospective, cross‐sectional study by Surita du Preez and colleagues in Australia aimed to characterise associations between biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and the cytological and endoscopic findings in horses with lower airway inflammation. Forty-seven horses were included in the study, 27 of which presented with respiratory disease and/or poor performance and 20 of which were asymptomatic. All horses underwent lower airway endoscopy and EBC analysis, with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration, pH, and the proinflammatory eicosanoid leukotriene B4 (LTB4) being measured. During endoscopic examination, tracheal mucus was graded and a tracheal aspirate (TA) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) performed. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify associations between biomarkers and lower airway disease.
EBC pH and H2O2 concentrations were higher in horses with lower airway inflammation and were positively correlated with the percentage of neutrophils in the BAL fluid. Mast cell and eosinophil percentages in BAL fluid were negatively associated with EBC pH and positively associated with EBC LTB4, respectively.
Bottom line: Exhaled breath condensate pH and H2O2 concentrations are altered by inflammation and may offer a non-invasive method for diagnosing and monitoring lower airway inflammation in the future.
GUT MICROBIOME IN STANDARDBRED FOALS
Early colonisation and temporal dynamics of the gut microbial ecosystem in Standardbred foals
S. Quercia, F. Freccero, C. Castagnetti, M. Soverini, S. Turroni, E. Biagi, S. Rampelli, A. Lanci, J. Mariella, E. Chinellato, P. Brigidi and M. Candela
This longitudinal study by Sara Quercia and colleagues in Italy aimed to explore the perinatal colonisation process of the foal gut microbiota. Thirteen mares that foaled at term (333–355 days gestation) and their healthy foals were included in the study. At delivery, samples were collected from the mare’s amniotic fluid, faeces and colostrum, and the foal’s meconium. Milk samples and faeces samples from both mare and foal were also taken longitudinally, until day 10 post‐partum. All samples were analysed using bacterial DNA extraction and 16S rDNA sequencing. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were compared between samples in order to determine the bacterial isolates present in each sample.
The foals’ meconium shared 32 bacterial OTUs with the amniotic fluid and 75 with the mares’ faeces, but no OTUs were shared between the mares’ faeces and amniotic fluid. The foal gut microbiota gradually changed from the meconium sample to 3 days after birth, acquiring microorganisms found in milk. Later, the foal gut microbiota began to resemble that of the mare more closely. The mares’ hindgut bacteria were relatively consistent with a very low rate of inter‐individual diversity throughout the sampling period.
Bottom line: The mare’s microbiome may be a key factor in the establishment of her foal’s gut microbial ecosystem.
Race-day Distal Limb fractures
Epidemiology of race‐day distal limb fracture in flat racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain (2000–2013)
Rosanowski, S.M., Chang, Y.M., Stirk, A.J., Verheyen, K. L. P.
This retrospective cohort study aimed to further characterise risk factors for race-day distal limb fractures in flat racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain. All starts between January 2000 and December 2013 were analysed alongside the British Horseracing Authority's injury database for recorded distal limb fractures. Variables analysed included horse, race and trainer‐related factors, with mixed‐effects logistic regression used to determine if any were associated with an increased risk of distal limb fracture.
There were 806,764 race starts and 624 reported distal limb fractures during the study period. The odds of acquiring a distal limb fracture increased with firmer ground, increasing race distance, and if horses were in their first year of racing. Horses from top‐performing trainers who also had a high proportion of horses failing to finish were also more likely to sustain a distal limb fracture compared to those from trainers with poorer than average performance. A protective effect was seen with an increasing number of previous race starts.
Bottom line: In addition to previously identified risk factors such as firm ground and race distance, trainer performance is also a risk factor for distal limb fracture in British flat racing Thoroughbreds.
INSULIN AND LAMINITIS
Ex vivo effects of insulin on the structural integrity of equine digital lamellae
Sandow, C., Fugler, L.A., Leise, B., Riggs, L., Monroe, W.T., Totaro, N., Belknap, J., Eades, S.
This ex vivo study by Cole Sandow and colleagues in America aimed to characterise the effects of insulin on the structural integrity of the hoof lamellae. Tissue were harvested from the dorsal aspect of the fore feet of four horses euthanised for reasons other than diseases of the digit. Multiple lamellar explants were harvested from each horse and then equilibrated and incubated for 8 hours in cell culture medium alone or in a medium supplemented with 2.5 μg/mL insulin. After 8 hours of incubation at 37°C mechanical testing was performed by placing each explant into a clamp device and applying a mechanical load to create tension parallel to the long axis of the distal phalanx until explant failure. The load, stress and elongation to failure were rerecorded. Selected explants also underwent histological evaluation after testing.
A total of 89 explants were tested, 50 in the control group and 39 in the insulin group. Explant failure occurred in 90% (n = 35) of those incubated in insulin compared to 72% (n = 36) of those in the control group. Those incubated in insulin failed at a significantly lower load and stress. Histology of explants incubated in inulin showed separation of the epidermal‐dermal attachments at the basement membrane, whereas the controls better retained the basement membrane attachment.
Bottom line: Insulin weakens the structural integrity of equine lamellae in an ex vivo model.
COLIC INCISONAL INFECTIONS
Sequential bacterial sampling of the midline incision in horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy
Isgren, C.M., Salem, S.E., Townsend, N.B., Timofte, D., Maddox, T.W., Archer, DC.
A total of 31 horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy due to signs of colic at The University of Liverpool Equine Hospital during a 12-month period were included in this study. Swabs from the ventral midline of all horses were collected for culture and sensitivity immediately after clipping, after aseptic preparation for surgery, after closure of the linea alba, after closure of the skin, immediately after recovery from general anaesthesia and every 48 hours post-surgery at the time of abdominal bandage changes.
A wide range of bacterial species were cultured both intra‐operatively and immediately following recovery. Following aseptic preparation of the surgical site a positive culture was obtained from only one horse. Of the 22 horses that underwent an enterotomy or anastomosis, 16 (73%) had a negative culture immediately following incisional closure. Seven horses (22.6%) developed surgical site infection (SSI) but a positive culture from an intra-operative swab or immediately following recovery did not predict the development of SSI. The prevalence of a positive bacterial culture result increased over time even in the absence of SSI, likely due to bacterial recolonisation of the skin.
Bottom line: Incisional contamination alone is unlikely to cause SSI in horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy.
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVIVAL OF S. EQUI
A study of the environmental survival of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi
Durham, A. E., Hall, Y.S., Kulp, L., Underwood, C.
S. equi was inoculated onto wood, the rubber sole of a shoe, cotton overalls, inside a nasogastric tube, dental rasp, wet plastic bucket and onto an outdoor fence post. Samples were taken from all surfaces at 24-hour intervals for the first 5 days, 48-hour intervals until day 23, followed by bi‐weekly intervals until no viable bacteria could be cultured from two consecutive samplings. The protocol was carried out during both summer and winter months.
Bacterial growth and vigour was higher in wet conditions and during the winter. In winter, the longest period over which successful cultures of S. equi were obtained was 30 days from the wet bucket. In contrast, the longest period over which successful cultures were obtained in summer was 7 days, from the nasogastric tube.
Bottom Line: S. equi is likely to survive for longer periods in wet, humid, and cold conditions and could survive for longer than previously thought.
GUTTURAL POUCH MYCOSIS
Salpingopharyngeal fistula as a treatment for guttural pouch mycosis in seven horses
A.R. Watkins, E.J. Parente
This retrospective clinical report describes the use and outcome of transendoscopic laser salpingopharyngostomy for treatment of guttural pouch mycosis (GPM) in horses. It was hypothesised that by doing so, a change in the local guttural pouch environment would cause regression of fungal plaques. The procedure, which was carried out under standing sedation and visualised endoscopically, involved using a diode laser to create an approximately 1.5cm x 1.5cm hole through the mucosa of the dorsal pharyngeal recess. Of the 45 horses that presented to New Bolton Centre, University of Pennsylvania for treatment of GPM between 2006 and 2017, seven were treated with salpingopharyngostomy alone and thus described in the paper.
Post-operative anti-fungal medication varied between cases; with five horses receiving either topical or systemic antifungals or a combination of both, and two horses receiving no post-operative systemic or topical antifungal medication. Surgery time was <1 h in all but one case, and one case required repeat surgery the following day to widen the salpingopharyngostomy hole. In all four horses that presented with a nasal discharge, this had resolved 10–30 days post-operatively. Two cases had complete resolution of fungal plaques 1 month post-operatively, two cases at 2 months, two cases at 5 months, and one case at 6 months. The salpingopharyngostomy site remained open 1 month post-operatively in two cases and 10 months post-operatively in one case, but had closed in two cases 2 months post-operatively. One case was euthanised 57 days post-operatively due to persistent dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia.
Bottom Line: Salpingopharyngostomy may provide a minimally-invasive method of treating certain cases of guttural pouch mycosis in horses.
TRACHEAL WASH CYTOLOGY
Association of neutrophil morphology with bacterial isolates in equine tracheal wash samples
N.A. Jocelyn, C.E. Wylie, M. Lean, A. Barrelet, A.K. Foote
This cross-sectional study from the UK aimed to characterise the relevance of neutrophil morphology in tracheal wash (TW) samples in horses with respiratory disease: 1975 tracheal washes from 1100 horses submitted to Rossdales LLP between January 2013 and July 2015 were graded on the degree and type (nondegenerate or degenerate) of neutrophilia present. Multivariable logistic regression was performed in order to determine whether a positive culture of potentially pathogenic bacteria, season, year of diagnosis, and age at diagnosis were associated with the presence or absence of degenerate neutrophilia.
In total, 71.2%, (n = 1406) of samples showed neutrophilia, with just over half of these (55%, n = 773) having nondegenerate cells. Samples which had a positive culture of potentially pathogenic bacteria (S. zooepidemicus and beta-haemolytic Streptococcus spp. combined, S. pneumoniae, Actinobacillus spp., Pasteurella spp. and Bordetella spp.) were also more likely to have degenerate neutrophilia. Horses over 9 years old were less likely to have degenerate neutrophilia in their tracheal wash samples compared to younger horses, and degenerate neutrophilia was more likely in winter, compared to spring and summer.
Bottom line: Assessing neutrophil morphology of TW samples may help in distinguishing between infectious and non-infectious causes of lower airway inflammation.
FRACTURES AND INTRASYNOVIAL MEDICATION
A longitudinal study of fractures in 1488 Thoroughbred racehorses receiving intrasynovial medication: 2006–2011
L.C.R. Smith, C.E. Wylie, L. Palmer and P.H.L. Ramzan
This retrospective study by Lewis Smith and colleagues in the UK aimed to investigate the association between the use of intrasynovial anti-inflammatory medication and the incidence of fractures in racehorses.
The clinical records of all Thoroughbred flat racehorses receiving intrasynovial medication under the care of a single first-opinion veterinary practice in the UK between 2006 and 2011 were analysed. A total of 1488 horses received intrasynovial medication during the study period, with triamcinolone acetonide being the most commonly used medication (n = 1387, 93.2%), and the middle carpal joint being the most frequently medicated.
A horse was classed as a case if they suffered a fracture within 56 days of medication. Ninety-six fractures occurred within this time period, 44 (45.8%) of which were classed as ‘serious’ and required internal fixation or the horses were subjected to immediate euthanasia on humane grounds. Fifty-four (56.3%) cases eventually returned to racing. Targeted imaging of the subsequent injury site was rarely undertaken prior to injury (n = 7, 7.3%). Horses that had received ≥3 previous medications were at an increased risk of sustaining a fracture within 56 days of medication.
Bottom line: the incidence of fractures in racehorses might be reduced if targeted imaging is carried out prior to medicating synovial structures with anti-inflammatories.
KICK INJURIES AND FRACTURES
Epidemiology of fractures: The role of kick injuries in equine fractures
B. Donati, A.E. Fürst, M. Hässig and M.A. Jackson
This retrospective study by Brice Donati and colleagues in Zurich aimed to determine the main causes and factors affecting recovery of fractures in a mixed population of equids.
Data from all equids that presented to the Equine Department at the University of Zurich between January 1990 to September 2014 due to a fracture were analysed. Of the 1144 cases that met the inclusion criteria, 43.6% (n = 499) of fractures were caused by a kick from another equid, and the largest percentage of fractures occurred whilst at pasture (n = 319, 27.9%). The second and fourth metacarpal and metatarsal bones were the most commonly affected (n = 181) closely followed by the skull (n = 172), proximal phalanx (n = 104), distal phalanx (n = 75), pelvis (n = 87) and tibia (n = 84). The majority of fractures were simple (n = 534, 47%) and closed (n = 731, 65.9%). Treatment was attempted in 80% (n=915) of cases, over half of which involved a general anaesthetic.
Overall, 70.1% (n = 802) of horses survived, and those with fractures caused by a kick injury had a more favourable prognosis than those attributable to other causes. Logistic regression demonstrated that severe lameness upon admission and severe comminution negatively affected the likelihood of recovery.
Bottom line: in a mixed population of horses, kicks are the most common cause of fractures.
EQUINE SHIVERS
Abnormal locomotor muscle recruitment activity is present in horses with shivering and Purkinje cell distal axonopathy
Aman, J.E., Valberg, S.J., Elangovan, N., Nicholson, A., Lewis, S.S., Konczak, J.
This study by Joshua Aman and colleagues at the University of Minnesota in the USA aimed to characterise hindlimb muscle activity in horses with shivering, in addition to identifying whether degeneration of distal Purkinje cell axons in the lateral deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) correlates with the locomotor abnormalities seen.
Seven horses with shivers and six normal controls were included in the study. Each horse had the recruitment activity of four hindlimb muscles (biceps femoris, vastus lateralis, tensor fasciae latae and extensor digitorum longus) monitored using surface electromyographic (sEMG) whilst performing various different movements such as lifting and flexing the hindlimb and walking backwards. The horses were also scored based on the degree of any locomotion abnormalities present. Six of the horses with shivers were subsequently euthanised and underwent post-mortem examination (PME) with calbindin immunohistochemistry being performed on the brain tissue.
There was a marked difference in the muscle recruitment activity of shivering horses compared with the controls. The horses with shivers exhibited sustained, elevated levels of muscle activation and a loss of temporal modulation, occurring throughout the stride but particularly when walking backwards. This results in an uncontrolled co-contraction of flexor and extensor muscles in horses with shivers. PME identified axonal degeneration in the Purkinje cells in the DCN, consistent with a previous study.
Bottom line: Abnormal muscle recruitment patterns in the hindlimbs of horses with shivers are due to excessive activation and a loss of temporal modulation.
SUPERFICIAL DIGITAL FLEXOR TENDON INJURIES IN RACEHORSES
Ultrasonographic-based predictive factors influencing successful return to racing after superficial digital flexor tendon injuries in flat racehorses: A retrospective cohort study in 469 Thoroughbred racehorses in Hong Kong
Alzola, R., Easter, C., Riggs, C.M., Gardner, D.S., Freeman, S.L.
This retrospective study by Rafa Alzola and colleagues in the UK and Hong Kong aimed to characterise the ultrasonographic abnormalities of SDFT injuries in a cohort of Thoroughbred racehorses and to establish whether they could be used to guide prognosis for future racing.
Four hundred and sixty-nine horses met the inclusion criteria. Ultrasonographic images obtained during the initial examination within 1 week of injury were evaluated for location, type and extent of injury, echogenicity, cross-sectional area (CSA) affected and longitudinal fibre pattern (LFP) of the maximal injury zone (MIZ). For data analyses horses were split into two groups based on the presence or absence of a core lesion.
The right forelimb was the most commonly affected, and the mid-metacarpal region was the most common site of the MIZ. The majority of horses (76%, n = 357) had a core lesion. Ultrasonographic factors that influenced a horse’s likelihood of a successful return to racing different slightly between the two groups: lesion location, CSA and echogenicity influenced the likelihood of a successful return to racing in the core lesion group, whereas LFP and echogenicity did so for those horses without a core lesion. Horses in either group with reduced echogenicity of the MIZ were less likely to have a successful return to racing. Although 49% of horses (n = 175) raced again only 31% (n = 112) were deemed to have a successful return to racing.
Bottom line: Specific features from the first ultrasonographic examination following an SDFT injury may be useful in predicting the likelihood of a successful return to racing in Thoroughbreds.
Recurrent laryngeal neuropathy
Modified first or second cervical nerve transplantation technique for the treatment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) in horses
F. Rossignol, O. Brandenberger, J.D. Perkins, J-P. Marie, C. Mespoulhès-Rivière and N.G. Ducharme
This study involving surgeons from France, Germany, the USA and the UK outlines a novel surgical technique for the treatment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in horses. Horses of various breeds with grade ≥2/4 RLN at rest underwent the nerve transplantation procedure which involved the first or second cervical nerve being tunnelled through the left cricoarytenoideus dorsalis muscle in an attempt to reinnervate it. Successful reinnervation was confirmed within 12 months of the surgery by stimulation of the first cervical nerve under ultrasound guidance in addition to resting and exercising endoscopy being performed on most horses once back in work.
Seventeen horses underwent the procedure, all without complication arising due to the surgical technique. Twelve horses received post-operative stimulation of the first cervical nerve, 11 of which showed a positive response (defined as a clear twitching and submaximal to maximal abduction of the left arytenoid). Fourteen horses had both pre- and post-operative exercising endoscopy performed; nine of which had an improved RLN grade after surgery, four were unchanged and one had deteriorated. Abnormal respiratory noise resolved in 14/17 horses.
Bottom line: this novel technique for the treatment of RLN has the potential to offer a more physiological outcome than prosthetic laryngoplasty, but currently with similar success rates.
Dorsoproximal P1 fragments in UK Thoroughbreds
Frequency distribution of osteochondral fragmentation of the dorsoproximal articular surface of the proximal phalanx in racing Thoroughbreds in the UK
R. Walsh, M.R.W. Smith, and I.M. Wright
This retrospective study reports the location of dorsoproximal P1 osteochondral fragments in a population of racing Thoroughbreds that underwent arthroscopic surgery. In addition, they aimed to assess the accuracy of standard radiographic projections in identifying these lesions and the frequency of concurrent soft tissue damage.
The inclusion criteria were met by 282 horses, 85.8% (n = 242) of which were in training for, or already competing in flat race training and 5.3% (n = 15) of which were used for jump racing. A total of 428 fetlock joints had dorsoproximal P1 fragments, with similar numbers found in the left and right limbs. 73.8% (n = 316) of fragments were located dorsomedially and 39.3% (n = 168) of joints had concurrent soft tissue lesions. The majority of fragments (74.8%, n = 320) were evident on radiographs.
Bottom line: Dorsoproximal P1 osteochondral fragments were more often dorsomedially and in the forelimbs, similar to previous studies of other breeds and geographical locations. Accurate fragment location is not always possible with radiographs alone.

Top 5 research news stories from Beyond Celiac in 2020
Celiac disease related neurological symptoms lead the list
By Amy Ratner, Director Scientific Affairs
A story about celiac-disease-related brain damage detected by brain scans was the most popular Beyond Celiac research news post from 2020.
A post about COVID-19 and celiac disease also made it onto a list of the top five research news articles. That’s not surprising in a year in which nearly every aspect of life was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the globe, keeping people in their homes and making masks nearly standard whenever they ventured out.
The top 5 stories of the year also included news about developments with a drug to treat celiac disease, the role of probiotics in celiac disease and new evidence that gluten is commonly found even in a strict gluten-free diet.
Here’s a full list, which was determined by the number of views received by research news posts on the Beyond Celiac website.
Brain images show celiac disease related damage
Latiglutenase improves symptoms and quality of life in some patients
Probiotics may play a role in the treatment of celiac disease in the future
Beyond Celiac survey on coping with celiac disease and COVID-19
Evidence gluten gets into even a strict gluten-free diet
Brain Imagining
The brain imaging study by researchers at the University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK, used brain scans designed to detect minute changes in the brain’s white matter. They found that people with celiac disease appeared to have suffered some injury in locations including the brainstem, thalamus and corpus callosum. Researchers attributed the neurological damage to gluten exposure, including inadvertent exposure in those following the gluten-free diet.
“The neuropsychiatric symptoms of celiac disease are among the most misunderstood of all the ways this disease affects a person,” said Salvo Alesci, MD, Beyond Celiac chief scientist and strategy officer. “Those who have celiac disease are naturally interested in any information they can find about these complications.”
The drug development story detailed how an analysis of latiglutenase clinical trial results showed that patients who had positive blood tests for celiac disease antibodies and took the drug showed improvement in some symptoms and in quality of life. Latiglutenase is made of a combination of two enzymes that are designed to degrade gluten in the stomach and deactivate the protein that is harmful to those who have celiac disease. Beyond Celiac is currently helping to recruit patients for ongoing study of this celiac disease treatment option.
The attention-getting story about probiotics described a review of existing studies that suggests probiotics may have the potential to help celiac disease patients. Possible roles for probiotics include improving symptoms, modulating the immune response and altering the composition of bacteria in the gut microbiome. The study was done by researchers from the University of Parma in Italy.
The Italian study review emphasized that much more investigation is needed to determine which probiotics, in what doses and for how long would be beneficial in celiac disease.
The frequently viewed COVID-19 post described initial results of a Go Beyond Celiac survey that collected data about the impact of COVID-19 on those who have celiac disease. The survey was launched early in the pandemic and reflected the fear among those with celiac disease that gluten-free products would be in short supply. Both that survey and another collecting information from those with celiac disease who have had COVID-19 symptoms or testing remain open at Go Beyond Celiac.
Gluten in the diet
The final spot in the Beyond Celiac top five goes to a story about a study that found celiac disease patients frequently get gluten in their gluten-free diets. The conclusion was reached based on evidence of gluten exposure in urine and stool samples.
Study participant had been on the gluten-free diet for more than two years and considered themselves to be following it strictly. They collected stool and urine samples for four weeks. Tests for gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) were then used to measure how much gluten was in the samples. The study by researchers from Argentina, Canada and El Salvador found that participants were exposed to gluten a median of three times.

Latest news and developments on declining digital freedom and key reports, guidance and tools
Digital Freedoms
Over the past two decades, human rights defenders and activists have increasingly engaged in online organising and advocacy. In 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution which reaffirmed that “the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online”. Nonetheless, states around the world continue to filter, monitor, and otherwise obstruct or manipulate the openness of the internet. Companies in the ICT sector can be involved in this limiting of digital freedoms, either directly, or by facilitating violations by governments and/or abuses by other firms.
Digital freedom continues to decline across the globe. Freedom on the Net index 2020 covers trends such as manipulation of social media in democratic processes, shutdowns of mobile and internet service, and attacks on online activists. These obstructions and attacks impact on freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, but also create economic costs, affecting entire economies and individual businesses.
Ranking Digital Rights’ 2019 Corporate Accountability Index ranked 24 internet , mobile, and telecommunications companies on their commitments and policies affecting freedom of expression and privacy of users and found that although most companies improved their scores from previous years, most lacked transparency about how they police content or respond to government demands and failed to anticipate and manage privacy and expression risks caused by their business models, and by the deployment of new technologies.
Government use of surveillance technology created by private firms to surveil and monitor human rights defenders is also a serious concern. Given the scale of human rights risks and harms associated with this sector, in June 2019 the then United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, called for an immediate moratorium on the sale, transfer and use of surveillance technology until human rights-compliant regulatory frameworks are in place.
Internet, mobile, and telecommunications companies’ policies and practices can positively affect users’ freedom of expression and privacy, including those of defenders, especially when they work together, such as through the Global Network Initiative (GNI) or the Telecommunications Industry Dialogue (TID), whose company members commit to uphold principles of freedom of expression and privacy.

Condors Weekly: Condors gone wild, win over SF highlights the week
February 11, 2013 /in Features, News & Releases /by condors
CONDORSTOWN, Calif. – The Bakersfield Condors picked up wins against division rivals Stockton and San Francisco to bookend the week’s action. Friday’s home game also featured a guest appearance by a live condor, who promptly flew amok at the arena, accidentally turning herself into an international sensation over the weekend.
Bakersfield is currently 15-34-2-3 with 35 points in the standings. They trail the 8th place San Francisco Bulls by eight points in the standings, with a pair of home games on the docket this weekend.
COMING UP (all times Pacific):
Friday, Feb. 15 vs. Colorado (7 p.m., Rabobank Arena)
Saturday, Feb. 16 vs. Colorado (7 p.m., Rabobank Arena)
LAST WEEK (Home team in CAPS):
CONDORS 4 vs. Stockton 3
The Condors opened the week’s action by taking a 3-0 lead through the first 24 minutes of the game against the Thunder on Tuesday. Although Stockton rallied to tie it up in the third, RW Scott Freeman scored his first of the season with 3:22 left in regulation to win the game. G Scott Greenham made 34 saves to get the win.
ONTARIO 4 vs. Condors 2
This time is was Bakersfield erasing a third period deficit to tie the game, only to eventually fall in the closing minutes. F Nicholas Tremblay scored twice less than three minutes apart to tie the game up 2-2. But F Derek Couture scored with 2:58 left in regulation to regain the lead for the Reign, who also added an empty netter to seal the win.
Las Vegas 4 vs. CONDORS 1
Vegas and Bakersfield exchanged tallies in the opening minutes of the game, with LW Jacob Lagace scoring his 12th of the season to make it 1-1. But the Wranglers reeled off three unanswered goals in the next 23 minutes to make it 4-1. Despite a heavy shot lead in the final two frames, the Condors could not close the deficit.
SAN FRANCISCO 3 vs. Condors 1
F Jake Morley scored his first goal as a Condor, early in the third to cut the Bulls lead down to 2-1, but it’s as close as they could get in falling to San Francisco 3-1. G Taylor Nelson was solid between the pipes for the Bulls, stopping 34 Condors shots for the win.
Condors 4 vs. SAN FRANCISCO 2
The Condors capped off their weekend by doubling up the Bulls behind a 40-save effort by G Brian Stewart and 1g-1a from D Kyle Haines. Four different players lit the lamp for Bakersfield, who salvaged a split of their two-game series in San Francisco, and cut the deficit to eight points in the standings.
RW Scott Freeman (five games) and F Nicholas Tremblay (six games) each had point streaks snapped Friday night. Freeman’s five-game assist streak, which included eight helpers, was a season high for the Condors.
G Brian Stewart made all three starts on the weekend, and also finished up Wednesday’s game in Ontario when G Scott Greenham came out of the game due to injury.
Despite playing in just 18 games this season, F Nicholas Tremblay is fourth on the Condors in goals (12) and points (22).
F Jacob Lagace returned from a brief stint with the American Hockey League’s Rochester Americans, and scored a pair of goals and added an assist in weekend action. He has ten points (6g-4a) in his last 10 games he has played.
F Francis Verreault is one assist shy of the league rookie lead, and two points. He has 20 points (7g-13a) in 19 games since joining the Condors in January.
D T.J. Fast made his debut with the Condors on Friday, and played all weekend.
LEAGUE LEADERS:

REAL CONDOR STEALS THE SHOW!
All we wanted was to have the condor sit on its custom Condors perch at center ice during the anthem. But before Queen Victoria’s one minute and forty second appearance in Condorstown was complete, it ended up being legendary.
“Vicki” is an Andean condor that weighs close to 30 pounds and has a 10-foot wingspan, but her footprint has gone worldwide. She went sliding on the ice, hopping up on the Condors team bench, flapping over the heads of the players and coaches, chasing F Peter Boyd down the hall to the Bakersfield locker room, and soaring into Condors history as the most viewed video ever.
At over 300,000 views and counting, her appearance has been highlighted on ESPN, Yahoo!, NHL.com, CNN, ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s The Today Show and literally hundreds of other websites, TV stations and newspapers around the globe.
Queen Victoria was brought to Condorstown by Joe the BIRDMAN, and is an educational ambassador for her species, performing at zoos and other events around the country and has even been on The Tonight Show. She was completely unharmed during the appearance Friday night (although the BIRDMAN is a bit banged up). To learn more about the Andean condor click here.

This weekend, the Condors return to home ice to host the Colorado Eagles next Friday and Saturday. Friday night, the first 2,000 kids 12 and under will get a Condors Rope Necklace, sponsored by La Campesina 92.5.

Home MMA News Paulo Costa Paulo Costa was the most-tested UFC fighter by USADA in 2019
Paulo Costa was the most-tested UFC fighter by USADA in 2019
Adam Martin
According to a new report, top-ranked UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa was the most-tested athlete on the UFC roster by USADA in 2019.
Yahoo! Esportes recently reported that with 14 blood and urine tests, Costa was tested more than any other male fighter on the entire UFC roster by USADA. Women’s strawweight contender Claudia Gadelha tied Costa with 14 USADA tests as the most-tested female fighter on the UFC roster. That means both Costa and Gadelha were tested more than once a month over the last year — and they both passed all of their tests.
Costa saw the news and reacted to it on his Instagram. Here’s what the Brazilian said.
A post shared by Paulo Costa (@borrachinhamma)
“Most tested athlete of the year. Soon I’ll open all my workouts and feeding plan completely to transform your body and performance. Stay tuned.”
After Costa and Gadelha, next up on the list with 13 tests were UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, light heavyweight contender Thiago Santos and fan-favorite Donald Cerrone. UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was tested 12 times, as were bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes and former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.
Since joining the UFC in 2017, Costa has always had the finger pointed to him as someone who could be abusing performance-enhancing drugs due to his incredible physique. However, he has passed all of his drug tests to put those rumors to rest. It is worth noting that he has been suspended by USADA in the past, though it was for using an IV, not for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Costa is currently injured and out of action until mid-2020, but when he does return to the cage he is expected to get a crack at Adesanya’s middleweight belt. In the meantime, the man who Costa most recently defeated in the Octagon, Yoel Romero, appears to be getting the next middleweight title shot.
Are you excited to see Paulo Costa fight for the UFC middleweight title in 2020?

BLACK ALTAR OFFICIAL WEBSITE
Emperor Mag
- Hail Shadow!! Tell us who is answering the questions and what kind of mood and idea do you have now ?
Hail! I'm Shadow, the founder and the only member of Black Altar horde. At the moment I’m in a very good mood as one of the local radio stations is broadcasting one of my songs.
-How's life in Poland nowadays?
Well, I live on a quite good level. The best thing is that I make my living from my music. Basically, I do what I love and it’s a very comfortable situation. Generally speaking, people in Poland, the youth in particular, live a hard life as we have a high level of unemployment
- So I heard that you kick all the band's member and that left you all alone in the BLACK ALTAR. How can you manage the band now and what happened to others?
That’s right. As I have mentioned earlier I am the only Black Altar member. The reason I had to sak the rest of the band was their lack of commitment and awful lack of any ambitions at all. I couldn’t tolerate this and that’s why we had to part. From what I know they play in a band but they need someone to help them with promotion and stuff.
-Any plan to find some members and if you do so..what kind of character do you want to find ?
The newest mini CD “Death Fanaticism” is going to be recorded with a little help from session musicians from two best Polish bands. Next I’m going to look for a solid line-up with whom I’m going to give concerts. I am a very demanding man as far as musicians are concerned. Thus, they have to play their instruments very well and be totally devoted to Black Metal ideas. They have to feel the music and live by its ideas. It’s aware that it’s difficult to find such people but I hope I will find them.
-What about some female member? Do you consider them in the band or do you some thought about them ?
Till now there was no woman have eter sang or played in Black Altar. I can make only exception. She is a friend of mine and a very good black metal drummer, too. Additionally, she is devoted to the extreme ideology.
-The first stroke into their rotten system of values was a demo entitled "Na Uroczysku..." which gained a special recognition among several groups of listeners. Do you still have the stuff and did you and the previous members really thought the stuff was good in terms of music and lyrics ?
Well, there are advantages and disadvantages of demo "Na Uroczysku...?. It was the first material by Black Altar and was written solely by me. Session musicians had to learn it during the recording session. I was an amateur musician who has just started to create his style, thus the final effect is not so ideal. Nonetheless, ”Na Uroczysku...” is true, devilish and emanates with a really sick atmosphere.
- The first issue of 500 copies was sold out rapidly, making the name of Black Altar very popular in Poland and in other countries as well. Did you mean other countries like in ASIA ? By the way any contact did you made in our world especially my country ?
Yeah, I received a lot of letters from Asia and countries like Singapore or Thailand. Never before have I had a contact with anyone from your country. As far as band I think Impiety is quite good, but now they reside id Mexico
-There were many musicians involved, however none of them stayed long because they could not meet Shadow's high musical and ideological requirements. Easy come easy go eh.. so what really do you want in each of the band's member CV and commitment ?
As I have mentioned earlier. The most important element is the commitment in creating music and following the ideological path. I know I am a very demanding person but from my experience I know that working with lazy people doesn’t give results.
- In December 2000 a new, long-awaited EP entitled "Wrath ov the Gods" was recorded. Although all the compositions included were rather old, this record presented a new and more full-fledged face of the band. The EP was released in 2002.Why two fucking years to release it and I heard it's limited to 666 copies. Why is that and as always can we achieve that Ep.
Well,unfortunatelly I had to wait for 2 years to release this split due to financial difficulties. The spilt with Vesania is limited to 666 copies and is marked with human blood. I wanted it to become a precious rarity. Now, it’s totally sold out. In 2003 “Wrath ov the Gods” was released as a 7” EP limited to 500 copies this time numbered with a dead man’s blood. This year it’s going to be released by South American WarKult Prod as a split with three bonus tracks with Norwegian Nebular Mystic.
-Tell us more about the band that you admire VESANIA? Where can you find them and do you believe they go better each years?
I met Vesania a few years ago and made friends with the band’s leader. They had two songs and no time to make anything with them. I suggested to release it with Black Altar as a split. Vesania plays black metal in Emperor’s style. They are very talented musicians as the leader plays the bass guitar in Behemoth, while Vesania’s drummer plays the drums in Vader.
-In September 2003 at Selani Studio Black Altar recorded their debut album entitled "Black Altar". Finally the band's long awaited album has unleashed!!.. How do you feel about the album.. What can we expect about this album? What were the lyrics most about?
The debut CD “Black Altar” is a mile stone in band’s history as it simply crushes earlier releases by Black Altar. It’s because a lot to say had all, very talented, musicians making this record more complicated and unpredictable, giving a totally new dimension. A professional video is included on the CD. My lyrics concern dark rituals, various occult subjects while texts written by other members are more philosophical based on Nietzsche’s ideology. Everything is served in a very antichristian “souce”. On the whole, the record is very extreme starting from the music itself, through video, graphics and lyrics. I am very proud of it.
-So what are the band's hope or great future? And please state us your latest merchandise, if you have it.
Well, I hope that Black Altar’s ideology will be passed on an will infect minds of Black Metal fans on this planet. I hope that after years of hard work my band will be appreciated and respected for the uncompromised path I have undertaken. As far as merchandise is concerned I have new longsleeves and t-shirts made. “Wrath ov the Gods” 7” EP, “Black Altar” CD, LP, MC and longsleeves and t-shirts made by German Christhunt Prod are available.
- Why do you hate Christians so much? I mean I'm not against you but I just want to know about your opinion about it ?
Christians are brainless sheep that aren’t able to think by themselves as they are limited by hundreds of stupid orders. Poland’s probably the most Catholic country on this planet! Metal fans do not have an easy life here as concerts are cancelled, etc.. If you’re not a Catholic you are treated as a freak. I have no reason to like this Jewish religion.
-So you hate them and you wrote some lyrics about those Christian pigs in your every records ?
As you know Black Altar’s lyrics are purely antichristian. Some of them are direct some are philosophical, but the sense is basically the same.
- So what Satanism really mean to you? Did you ever encounter "them" before ? You really love Satan then or do you have something to say?
Satanizm is a lifestyle and a philosophy similarly to Black Metal. I’m not a devil worshipper but I perceive the Devil in a more symbolic way. On the other hand, I believe in an entity called Satan who exists in an astral world as a demonic power existing from the beginning of time, and which have been given hundreds of names throughout centuries. Satan brings balance to the universe as good cannot exist without evil and vice-versa.
- Each souls around the globe have their own believe, do you agree ? Some of them believe in forces of good and evil , positive and negative , the sun ,the moon , blood..etc so where do you stand and give some reason about it ?
Every conscious entity believes in something. I gave the answer earlier. Simply, one can say that I believe in forces of good and evil and their permanent struggle. I believe in my abilities and personal potential. I know I can achieve almost everything I have planned if only I work hard.
- Have you ever heard Black Metal band from our regions ?
From what I remember only impiety and Sigh cross my mind.
-The best underground mag/zine that you've ever seen!!..The best album you've ever heard and the best porno movie ever!!
I’ve read a lot of good zines but the best is Slayer. The best also were Holocaust and Agonia. It’s fucking difficult to choose the best Black Metal album nonetheless I would say that Mayhem “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” is the best. As far as porno movies “Rocco invades Poland”.
-If you've been given three fucking wishes by the Lord Of Darkness.. what will it be ?
Perfect health, lots of money and a long life.
-So any word for the readers?
Follow the Path of Darkness and you’ll see the Light! War is imminent! Prepare to fight! Let our Will Reign!
-Last Shadow's words ?
Thanx for the interview and interest in Black Altar. Good luck with your zine. Hail, Black Metal warriors!

The Digital Cultural Heritage in the Italian cultural system. The necessity of a change
The full version of the article is to be published in the AIUCD 2021 proceedings.
By Mauro De Bari, Nicola Barbuti. Department of Humanities (DISUM), University of Bari Aldo Moro, Bari, Italy
Digital Transformation is changing the daily life of the communities, but a clear definition of what can be defined as Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) still misses. Moreover, in this period Cultural Institutions (CI) have been under pressure because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper proposes a digital strategy based on a central role of the cultural heritage users. To this goal, a first-rate need is to hire new professionals provided with digital knowledge and skills.
Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH), Cultural Institutions (CI), COVID-19.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has modified worldwide the relation between people and cultural heritage, increasing the use of digital media to supply the lack of physical enjoyment. Full cultural ecosystem is still inaccessible: museums, archives, libraries, archaeological and monumental sites are closed because they cannot guarantee safe access to their places. Moreover, they haven’t planned useful digital strategies or programs for fostering the enjoyment of heritage.
Recently, several purposes in the digital cultural field have been hypothesized. The Italian cultural system is living a quick change, and we need to understand how CI could address the digital challenges fostering the creation of DCH.
But the question is: does DCH exist? In the last years, a first proposal for defining what we could identify as cultural among the digital floating “magma” has been drafted as follows: “Digital Cultural Heritage is the ecosystem of processes, Born Digital and Digitized entities, virtual phenomena certified and validated as meeting the requirements in since their genesis and over time, which will became testimonies, manifestations and expressions of the evolutionary processes that identify and connote each community, socio-cultural context, simple or complex ecosystem of the Digital Age, assuming the function of memory and source of knowledge for future generations”[1].
This definition claims the topic of a recent Horizon Call: “So far, digitisation focused mainly on capturing the visual appearance of individual objects, collections or sites. There is a real need to establish a comprehensive picture of the studied assets, capturing and re-creating not only visual and structural information, but also stories and experiences (stored in language data), together with their cultural and socio-historical context, as well as their evolution over time”.
Digital Humanities (DH) too must address the challenges of digital preservation and the opportunities coming from CI. Founded in 2019, Istituto Centrale per la digitalizzazione del Patrimonio Culturale has not suggested a useful strategy that guarantees an integration between heritage and digital processes. The modern society should choose a new approach to tackle the challenge of how best to convey the DCH. The goal of institutions is to ponder an innovative emotional offer [2]: the new DCH connected with the tradition. The key is not to destroy the old cultural systems, but to develop processes that unify tradition, innovation and long-term necessities.
2. THE ITALIAN DISCOVERY OF THE DIGITAL
The cultural ecosystem needs processes to facilitate the production of digital cultural artefacts. During the pandemic, many cultural institutions attempted to offer digital services aimed at encouraging the enjoyment of their CH. Italian Institutions have offered several proposals to promote something they consider similar to DCH. However, several issues have emerged because of the conclamant confusion existent in terms of digitization.
Digital artefacts created by augmented, mixed and immersive reality processes are rare. What is considered innovative and avant-garde in Italy, in other Countries is practice. Still, the legitimate question is whether these digital cultural services offered by galleries, libraries, museums which have received an enormous consensus during this peculiar context, can receive the same attention at the end of the closure imposed by law? One of the hypotheses born from the MIBACT was the creation of a Netflix of culture. However, the idea of payment for digital cultural services could be a winning action?
What will happen when the closing of CI ends? Users will have the opportunity to choose between analogue and digital content: is it sure that Italian users will choose innovation?
The Italian offer is limited in terms of production and processes used, except some rare cases. An example based on innovation and user interaction is offered by the Erasmus+ project “Crowddreaming: Youth Co-Create Digital Culture“. The users experiment on multiple levels, starting from the interaction of young people with the practice of Crowddreaming and Museater methodologies, meshing the museum and the theatre in an original way of conceiving the DCH [3].
The idea of community lacks in Italian CI: the user doesn’t feel himself like a part of a bigger system. Italians try to be prosumers [4], but the actual state-of-the-art doesn’t permit it. The audience has a marginal role in terms of consideration. Sometimes, CI are synonymous with elitist knowledge [5]: most of the public museums, libraries and archives open more for academic finalities rather than to offer a good user experience.
Institutions must improve their offer with a multifaceted staff with digital abilities. In this, the digital and its processes can be facilitators. It is crucial to understand which abilities must learn the professionals that will work inside CI to avoid the externalization of digital work outside their realities. Recently, the Department of Humanities DISUM of University of Bari “A. Moro”, in collaboration with important international partners, has launched the Biblio project. The project aims to identify two different levels of professionals with digital capacities in the librarian field. The COVID-19 pandemic has confirmed that the digital is a need more than before. The cultural system should promote a flexible strategy to improve those realities that try to invest in the digital. As Biblio project is researching good practices to promote the training of professionals, Italian CI should activate academics and researchers to ponder a competent category of digital cultural professionals capable to maximize the productivity, the attractiveness and the professionalism in digital Italian Institutions processes. This solution will influence the user category too, that will be a functional part of the cultural system.

New York Giants 23 – Washington Football Team 20
QUICK RECAP
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones took on the Washington Football team for the fourth time in his young career. He entered the matchup 3-0 against the fellow NFC East basement dwellers while having a 1-16 record against everyone else. The Giants last played Washington on October 18, a matchup they won by 1 point. Since then, they lost two games by a combined 3 points and WAS defeated DAL by 22 points before entering their bye week. A home game following a week off against a team playing on short rest (NYG played the previous Monday night) is historically a very advantageous situation.
NYG reached the WAS 35-yard line on the opening drive and were faced with a 4th-and-1 . They opted to send Dion Lewis, their least powerful back, up the middle where he was stuffed for a no gain. Fortunately, WAS gave the ball right back on a fumble by rookie running back Antonio Gibson on their very first offensive play. NYG took advantage of the that first turnover, creating 3 points out of it via a 38-yard field goal by Graham Gano. The key play on the drive was a 50-yard pass, the longest of the season for NYG, from Jones to rookie Austin Mack. Mack saw an uptick in playing time after Joe Judge made the decision to keep Golden Tate at home after showing up the team last Monday night against the Bucs.
NYG forced a 3-and-out on the next WAS drive before punting themselves just two plays after tight end Evan Engram dropped a pass and had it nearly land in the hands of a WAS defender. The play was originally called an interception, but the replay review overturned the call. On that NYG punt, rookie Isaiah Wright muffed the catch and the ball was recovered by Madre Harper. Four plays later Wayne Gallman crossed the goal line to give NYG a 10-0 lead, both scores coming off WAS turnovers.
WAS then made it to the NYG 10-yard line but multiple WAS penalties pushed them far enough back that the field goal attempt ended up being 48 yards. Dustin Hopkins nailed it through the uprights to cut the NYG lead down to one score, 10-3. On that drive, however, Jabrill Peppers broke the ankle of WAS quarterback Kyle Allen. It was a gruesome injury and the irony behind it was the fact that Alex Smith was the backup who trotted onto the field. Smith had a career-threatening, even life-threatening, injury to his leg just two years ago.
NYG marched down the field on their next drive to set themselves up for another field goal, this one being 48 yards. Gano put it through the uprights again to lengthen the lead back to 10 by a score of 13-3. The NYG defense then forced another 3-and-out, setting up the steady Big Blue offense to put more space between them and Washington. Alfred Morris, a former Pro Bowler who saw his best days in WAS, took over in the backfield for the next drive. He gained 35 yards on his first 3 carries of the possession. NYG kept the momentum going, with Jones hitting Engram in the end zone up the seam for a 16-yard touchdown.
The WAS offense, with under 2 minutes left, got deep into NYG territory. But the drive ended with an interception by Smith as a result of running back J.D. McKissic slipping and falling as the ball was being thrown. Blake Martinez came up with the pick. NYG had as 17-point lead at the half.
Washington then scored on their first three drives of the second half. Despite a slow first half marred by turnovers, they came out converting third downs and neutralizing the NYG pass rush. They scored 2 touchdowns, one on a short run by the rookie back Gibson and the other on a freak pitch, catch, and run to Terry McLaurin. They also added 3 points via a 44-yard field goal by Hopkins. NYG was able to put up three points of their own from Gano’s 18th consecutive successful attempt but the lead was just now three points, 23-20.
The NYG offensive line had been solid until this point, but the WAS defensive front started to get consistent pressure and an offensive pass interference call on Engram killed NYG’s next drive. They punted back to WAS, who had the ball back, down 3, with over 5 minutes left. Their offense was red hot, coming off three straight scoring possessions that netted 17 points.
The NYG defense has shown signs of life all year but they came up short in key situations multiple times and they just haven’t been able to come up with the big, timely play. Well, that was another trend that was about to end. Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham has been finding creative ways to create pressure all year despite not having a true edge presence. A Logan Ryan blitz forced Smith into throwing an interception to Jabrill Peppers. On the final WAS drive of the game, a Leonard Williams pressure forced yet another interception, this one to Ryan. The NYG defense put the breaks on the WAS offensive surge and won for the 4th time in as many tries with Jones at the helm.
NYG wins, 23-20.
–Daniel Jones: 23-34 / 212 yards / 1 TD – 0 INT / 94.2 RAT
The Giants’ leading rusher added just 4 yards on the ground. Two things are most important from this one: Jones didn’t turn the ball over and he got the win. It is amazing that he is 4-0 vs WAS but 1-16 elsewhere. Some guys just have a team’s number and vice versa. Jones didn’t have many opportunities to really throw the ball downfield in this one. It was obvious he was trying to get the ball out faster and that he did. He was accurate short and intermediate in addition to appearing decisive. A good step in the right direction for Jones and he was fortunate he didn’t turn the ball over on his fumble where a defender didn’t come in contact with him. That could have changed the outcome of this one. Jones has turned the ball over in every one of his starts outside of this game and the 12/22/19 matchup against WAS. One can easily see just how much more winnable these games are when they don’t lose that intra game battle.
–Wayne Gallman: 14 att / 68 yards / 1 TD and 1 rec / 9 yards
Gallman is another one who seems to have his best volume work against WAS. He now has 294 career yards against them; he doesn’t have more than 125 against any other team. Gallman was impressive inside where he seemed to be one broken tackle away from breaking off a big play on multiple occasions. He also pushed the pile twice, showing good power and grit. Gallman continues to impress with the ball but he is the one back who seems to struggle when pass blocking.
-Alfred Morris played a huge part in the win. He gained 67 yards on 9 carries while adding 4 yards on a catch. His 7.4 yards per carry were the highest of his career since September 15, 2013 in games where had had more than 2 carries. Talk about coming out of nowhere. Morris made a couple key blitz pickup blocks as well and I think that presence and reliability back there are key reasons why he is on the roster and seeing time. The production on the ground is simply icing on the cake.
–Austin Mack: 4 rec / 72 yards
Mack was a few inches shy of his first career touchdown in the first quarter. It was an impressive scamper after the catch where he broke a tackle and lunged for the end zone, but his knee was ruled down just prior to crossing the goal line. Mack also brought in a 50-yard reception, the longest of the year for NYG. Much of his opportunity came from the Golden Tate situation and it may end up being a blessing in disguise. Always good to see a young talent get looks and capitalize on them at the expense of a disgruntled, unhappy, and overpaid veteran.
-Sterling Shepard added 39 yards on 6 catches as he was featured on several short passing plays. He came up with a couple of key 3rd-down conversions and he made key blocks on long NYG running game gains. His impact isn’t seen in the box score but he was a key part to the win.
-Darius Slayton was targeted just one time. That is the first time that has happened in his young career. In 4 career games vs. WAS, he has 4 catches for 54 yards.
-Evan Engram has gotten his fair share of roller coaster reviews over the past few years and we can only add to it at this point. In a week where it was confirmed multiple teams tried to trade for him last week, NYG decided to hold onto the talented playmaker. He led the team in targets with 10, catching 5 of them for 48 yards and a touchdown. There were multiple bumps in the road, however. Engram dropped 2 passes that were literally right in front of his face. One of them was just inches away from resulting in an interception. He also allowed a TFL and was flagged for offensive pass interference. Engram’s touchdown was a huge play and it was a high-skill level catch. I have been banging the table for this offense to send him up the seam more because that is where I think he does the most damage athletically, that is where he can be nearly impossible to cover. Hopefully Jason Garrett can see that now. It’s hard not to think about what Engram and this offense can be if he gets rid of these focus-drops.
-Kaden Smith and Levine Toilolo saw the field a considerable amount. They were excellent in sealing off the edge on some of the longer NYG runs.
-Center Nick Gates continues to impress and grade out as the top OL on this team. This is now becoming a week after week occurrence and one has to think this can be the norm here. He had never played center before and obviously the preseason was shortened to the point where those first few weeks could have been erased in a normal year. Gates is a tone setter for this group. His energy, hustle, and attitude are making a difference and he is quickly becoming a key leader and component to the direction in which this team is heading.
-Rookie tackles Andrew Thomas and Matt Peart both put out solid efforts and performances. Thomas allowed 1 sack but was pretty clean otherwise. I still see mechanical issues with his pass protection sets but he was able to maintain good contact for the most part for the second week in a row. Two of his three best performances on the year have come over the past 2 weeks. Peart played 31% of the snaps, mostly for Cameron Fleming but he did step in for Thomas for a drive. I think that was pre-determined, as the staff is clearly trying to get Peart in the mix more at both spots. The move did occur after Thomas’ worst series, however.
-The two veterans of the group, Kevin Zeitler and Fleming, both finished with below average grades. Zeitler was better, however. He allowed 2 pressures and a sack, although the sack could be put on Jones. Zeitler came up with multiple key blocks in the running game and he showed some juice as a lead blocker to the outside. That was the best I’ve seen him move this year athletically. Fleming allowed a pressure and a TFL. His down blocking in the running game was really poor. I think we see one more start out of him.
-Rookie Shane Lemieux got the start at left guard for the second week in a row as Will Hernandez was kept on the Covid-19 list. Similar to last week, there was a lot of good and some really bad. He allowed a sack and a pressure in addition to getting flagged for a holding penalty that ended up being declined by WAS. Lemieux looks really solid from a balance and technique perspective. His hands and feet are very in sync with each other and he seems to pick up what the defense throws at him schematically. I think another year in the pro-strength/conditioning program will put him where he needs to be. He looks like a player who can be counted on.
-Another quiet day for the NYG edge defenders. Kyler Fackrell was the one who saw the field the most and he ended with 3 tackles and 2 pressures. Not a bad day at all. He was flagged for an offsides penalty as well.
-Jabaal Sheard and Trent Harris saw the next tier of EDGE snaps, neither making a strong impact. Carter Coughlin and Cam Brown barely saw the field again.
-Big day for Leonard Williams, one of his best as a Giant. His stat line read 3 tackles / 3 pressures / 1 sack. He also created penetration that led to a TFL by Dexter Lawrence and his pressure at the end of the game forced the game-ending interception. Williams was all over the field and continues to dominate one-on-one blocking. If this defense can find a true EDGE threat, Williams is going take off.
-Dexter Lawrence and Dalvin Tomlinson both made plays behind the line of scrimmage. WAS only ran the ball 9 times but these two were still very effective up front.
-B.J. Hill had 1 tackle and a pressure while Austin Johnson added a tackle in his limited role.
-Tackling machine Blake Martinez led the team with another 10 in this game. He is just so automatic and reliable. He also came up with a key interception in the red zone toward the end of the first half. Big play, great timing, as WAS was heading toward at least 3 points.
-Devante Downs played the majority of the other ILB snaps when NYG used that personnel. He recorded 3 tackles but was exposed badly in coverage two times. This is a growing hole in this defense that may need to be addressed this offseason unless the staff is confident in Tae Crowder when he gets back on the field.
-Isaac Yiadom had his finest day as a Giant. Although he is still limited in coverage, he made a couple impact plays. He split a sack with Tomlinson and recorded 8 tackles. He allowed a freak touchdown to McLaurin and a 3rd-down conversion but he played a sound, aggressive game.
-James Bradberry wasn’t thrown at much. WAS clearly tried to attack elsewhere in the NYG secondary. He did allow a 3rd-and-1 conversion pass where he simply lost track of McLaurin. Otherwise, quiet game from him in a good way.
-Rookie Darnay Holmes is quietly improving. He made 5 tackles, most of which came on plays where he allowed a catch in man coverage. He did get beat on 3rd down a couple times, but I like how well he is staying in phase and maintaining body control. He plays in a really fast and aggressive fashion that impacts his game as a cover man, blitzer, and run defender.
-Jabrill Peppers and Logan Ryan both came up with multiple key plays in NYG’s 5-turnover performance. Peppers recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass in addition to breaking up 2 others. Ryan had the game-sealing interception and created pressure via a blitz that rushed WAS QB Smith into rushing a throw that ended up being an interception. Ryan also forced a fumble and added 6 tackles and Peppers added 6 tackles of his own. Impact game by these two, even though they both played balls poorly in coverage that resulted in big plays for WAS.
-Julian Love played just under half the snaps. He made 1 tackle and was beat in coverage a couple times in addition to a poor angle on one of WR Cam Sims’ big gains. Not a great game for him and I question what his role is on this defense right now with the hope he is taking notes on the versatility of Ryan, who may not be here next year.
–K Graham Gano: 3/3 (Made 38, 48, 42). Gano has made 18 straight, the longest active streak in the NFL this season.
-P Riley Dixon: 4 punts / 39.5 avg / 36.5 net
3 STUDS
-S Jabrill Peppers, DT Leonard Williams, OC Nick Gates
3 DUDS
-OT Cameron Fleming, S Julian Love, EDGE Jabaal Sheard
3 THOUGHTS ON WAS
About a month ago, I discussed how poor I thought this WAS team really was and just how dark of a time they were entering. Since then, they did beat an awful DAL team in a game where the Cowboys backup QB was injured and taken out of the game, then they had a bye week, then they lost to NYG again. I’ve seen their last 4 games in full in addition to 2 others. Unless they find a solution at QB (Haskins won’t be it from what I hear), we may be looking at the next NYJ or JAC. They are about to hit a point where they can’t pay all of their DL, the best part of their team, and “QB Hell” is approaching.
One player on this team who I have liked since last year, but who hasn’t received a consistent number of opportunities, is Cam Sims. He finished with 3 catches for 110 yards. The third-year receiver from Alabama has played in just 16 games (primarily on special teams) but has seen 11 targets that has produced 9 catches / 198 yards / 1 TD. I think they have something in him and it would be wise to use the rest of this season to expose him to regular snaps and opportunities.
Chase Young, the number 2 overall pick, got off to a nice start prior to injuring his groin. For those that don’t know much about soft tissue injuries to that area, it isn’t fun and they heal very slowly. The snap out of his stance and torque when involved with blockers just isn’t there. He looked much differently early in the year and just doesn’t seem 100% right now. Tough to get an evaluation on him knowing that.
3 THOUGHTS ON NYG
Check out these numbers. NYG gained 350 yards, WAS gained 402. NYG had 74 total offensive plays, WAS had 50. NYG averaged 4.7 yards per play, WAS averaged 8.0. NYG had 2 sacks, WAS had 5. NYG averaged 4.7 yards per pass play, WAS averaged 8.9. NYG punted 4 times, WAS punted 2 times. If you showed me just these numbers and I didn’t know anything else about the game, I would have said there was little-to-no shot NYG won this game. This is how vital the turnover battle is in the NFL. Giants did not turn it over once, WAS turned it over 5 times (and the margin if victory was still only 3 points). So when I bring up just how vital it is that Daniel Jones is not a turnover machine, do not bring up Brett Favre. If Jones keeps the turnovers away, NYG can win right now, not just down the road.
The Golden Tate situation was a breath of fresh air. I’ll be honest, Tate yelling “Throw me the damn ball” last week wasn’t a huge deal. Was it notable? Yes. It wasn’t a big deal, though. The fact that Judge took that (and perhaps some stuff behind the scenes we don’t know about) and used it to bench him / keep him home from practice for a day / put him on the scout team / keep him home from the game was great to see. I think he is laying the foundation for anyone and everyone to see that the little things that other coaches overlook won’t be tolerated. They can morph into bigger issues down the road. Young players can take it in and realize that won’t be acceptable in the future. Another check in the box for Judge who, I will say, has this team feeling different than what we have seen in recent years.
The Giants’ defense is getting a little bit of a pass because of the turnovers and because of the win itself. Truth told, they were awful in the second half against an offense that ranked 30th in the NFL. They are right there with NYJ and NYG as the worst offense in football. Alex Smith passed for 260 yards in the second half alone. What happened? NYG played a lot of zone coverage and it didn’t pan out. I think Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham has done a fine job mixing things up, playing matchups, and creating a pass rush with a lack of true pass rushers. I just don’t think he has the horses right now to be effective in every-down man coverage. James Bradberry is solid but the other corners can’t be relied on in that kind of role. In addition. I’m not sure the safeties are good enough over the top to even somewhat make up for it. That is going to need to be a key focal point to the upcoming NYG roster build.

The New York Giants earned their second win of the 2020 season by sweeping the Washington Football Team in Maryland on Sunday, 23-20. With the win, the Giants improved their overall record to 2-7.
The Giants dramatically out-rushed Washington 166 to 37 while Washington dramatically out-passed New York 365 to 184. The Giants’ team rushing figure was a season high. The real difference in the ball game was the Giants won the turnover battle 5-0. It was the first time quarterback Daniel Jones did not turn the football over in his 21 NFL starts (although he did fumble the ball twice).
The Giants received the ball to start the game, picked up two first downs, but turned the ball over on downs when running back Dion Lewis was stuffed on 4th-and-1 at the Washington 35-yard line. Nevertheless, New York got the football right back when on Washington’s first offensive play, defensive back Logan Ryan forced a fumble after a long reception by running back Antonio Gibson. Safety Jabrill Peppers recovered the fumble at the New York 19-yard line. On their second possession, highlighted by a 50-yard pass from Jones to wide receiver Austin Mack, the Giants were able to set up a 38-yard field goal to take a 3-0 early lead.
Washington went three-and-out on their second possession. The Giants picked up one first down and punted. However, the Washington returner muffed the punt with cornerback Madre Harper recovering the loose ball at the Washington 16-yard line. Four plays later, running back Wayne Gallman easily scored from two yards out. Giants 10 – Washington 0.
Washington’s only scoring drive of the first half occurred on their third possession as they drove 44 yards in nine plays to set up a 48-yard field goal. On this drive, starting quarterback Kyle Allen suffered a serious ankle injury after being sacked by Peppers. He was replaced for the rest of the game by Alex Smith. The Giants responded with their own field-goal drive, traveling 45 yards in nine plays, and place kicker Graham Gano kicked a 48 yarder of his own. Giants 13 – Washington 3.
After another three-and-out by Washington, New York took charge of the game with a 10-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Jones to tight end Evan Engram just before the 2-minute warning. Washington threatened to score in the final two minutes of the half, reaching the New York 18-yard line, but linebacker Blake Martinez ended this threat by intercepting Smith.
At the half, the Giants led 20-3.
The Giants did not make it easy on themselves in the second half. Washington received the ball to start the 3rd quarter and easily drove 75 yards in six plays to cut the score in half, 20-10. Gibson ran the ball in from one yard out. The Giants responded with a 12-play, 51-yard drive that took over seven minutes off of the clock and resulted in a 42-yard field goal. This would be New York’s last points of the day.
Washington scored again on their second possession of the half, gaining 53 yards on nine plays to set up a 44-yard field goal. New York 23 – Washington 13 early in the 4th quarter. The Giants gained two first downs and then punted. But it took only three plays for Washington to go 84 yards with wideout Terry McLaurin breaking free for a 68-yard score. With just over 10 minutes to play, the Giants only led 23-20.
Once again, the Giants gained a couple of first downs. But a holding penalty on Engram and a sack pushed the Giants back and forced a punt. With five minutes to go, Washington was looking to tie or win the game. They gained 49 yards in nine plays, but on 3rd-and-10 from the New York 40-yard line, Smith threw a high pass that was tipped an intercepted by Peppers.
The Giants’ offense could not run out the clock and Washington got the ball back at their own 28-yard line with 1:48 left to play. Two plays later, Logan Ryan intercepted Alex Smith at the Washington 30-yard line to end the game.
Jones completed 23-of-34 passes for 212 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. He was sacked five times. His leading targets were wide receiver Sterling Shepard (6 catches for 39 yards), Engram (5 catches for 48 yards and a touchdown), and Mack (4 catches for 72 yards). Gallman rushed 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown. Running back Alfred Morris also gained 67 yards on nine carries.
Defensively, the Giants forced four turnovers (three interceptions and one fumble). Washington only gained 37 yards rushing on nine carries. The Giants picked up two sacks, one by defensive lineman Leonard Williams and a sack shared by defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson and cornerback Isaac Yiadom.

Game Preview: New York Giants at Washington Football Team, November 8, 2020
THE STORYLINE
These two teams played less than one month ago, supplying the New York Giants with their only win to-date in the 2020 NFL season. In recent years, Washington has become New York’s “feel good” opponent, a rare bright spot in otherwise dreary seasons. That said, only a highly-questionable coaching decision to go for a failed 2-point conversion on October 18th prevented the “Football Team” from keeping the Giants winless.
As I wrote about in last week’s preview, the Giants are still clutching defeat from the jaws of victory. Three times in the last four weeks, they have squandered 11-point leads against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At times they have regained the lead only to see it evaporate again in a series of heart-breaking defeats. The Giants could easily be 4-4 right now. But they aren’t. And it is hard to argue against the notion that this is a team that expects to lose.
Publicly, many of the players say they are close to turning this around. But ultimately those are just empty words until they decide collectively to make plays in the clutch on offense, defense, and special teams to win football games. This is a bottom line business.
THE INJURY REPORT
RB Devonta Freeman (ankle – out)
WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder/toe)
OG Will Hernandez (COVID – out)
LB Blake Martinez (hamstring)
LB Devante Downs (shoulder)
CB Ryan Lewis (hamstring – placed on IR – out)
S Logan Ryan (hip)
NEW YORK GIANTS ON OFFENSE
It’s pretty much a consensus that Daniel Jones’ two interceptions and missed opportunities in passing game cost the Giants the game last week. On the flip side, he continues to tease with sometimes incredible plays to keep drives alive both with his right arm and legs. The mounting media and fan frustration with Jones is palpable. Right or wrong, the quarterback is always the target of fan venom when football teams lose. The problem for Jones is twofold: (1) he is playing in an era where there is almost zero patience level for “developing” a quarterback. “Look at so-and-so on this other team, he’s playing great in his second year!” (2) the more the Giants lose, the more likely the team is going to have a good opportunity to draft another “franchise” quarterback. Everyone is already talking about it. Daniel Jones knows it. The pressure on him to perform for multiple reasons is now immense.
Unlike many, I still have not given up on Daniel Jones. Perhaps its a function of my age and the football era I grew up in, but I don’t think it is wise to form a definitive judgment on a quarterback in less than two seasons. Daniel Jones’ issues are not his character, work ethic, competitiveness, intelligence, athleticism, arm, or ability to make difference-making plays. As we all know, his main issue been turnovers. Jones also suffers from some deficiencies that are not abnormal for young quarterbacks such as bird-dogging primary receivers, waiting for receivers to come “open” before throwing the football, not reading what the defense is giving you, not throwing the football away instead of forcing the mistake. Can those things be fixed? Sure. Happens all of the time. Will they be fixed? Unknown. The NFL graveyard is filled with failed 1st-round quarterbacks who couldn’t do so.
I still get the feeling that if you put Daniel Jones on a team with a respectable offensive line, an average running attack, and some decent weapons to throw to, he can develop into a very good quarterback in this league. But given we’re living in 2020, time is running out for him. He has to stop making stupid mistakes. At this point, unless the situation calls for him to take more risks, he has to be more of a game manager. Throw the football away, take the sack (while holding onto the football with two hands), don’t make that super-risky throw on 2nd down.
Sterling Shepard is not an outstanding receiver. But he is solid, viable, professional target. Even though the injury-prone Shepard is battling a turf-toe injury that will likely nag him the rest of the season, his return has helped the offense. When you add talent the football field, it opens things up for everyone. His presence makes life a little easier for the other receivers, the running backs, and the quarterback. Breaking the 20-point barrier is a big deal for this team, and the Giants did it the last two weeks with Shepard on the field. That said, we will have to hope that Darius Slayton, Evan Engram, and Golden Tate can build upon last Monday’s performance. Those three tend to disappear. (Note: There is a chance Tate will be benched for this game due to disciplinary reasons).
The upside to Devonta Freeman’s injury is that it forced this coaching staff to give Wayne Gallman an extended look. It’s pretty obvious that the last two coaching staffs – for whatever reason – were not enamored with him. He has eight more games to change minds.
The performance of the offensive line against an outstanding opponent last Monday was encouraging. Most were ready to dump Nick Gates after only a few games, but the coaching staff seems to have made the right call with him. Expect growing pains but he is trending rapidly in the right direction. Andrew Thomas also settled down, but one game does not make a trend. He has to start stringing solid games together. Shane Lemieux’s NFL debut was predictably inconsistent, but encouraging. The coaches usually know best, but I’m anxious for the team to make the switch from Cam Fleming to Matt Peart. One thing to keep in mind when judging the OL this year is that they have played a series of outstanding defensive fronts almost all year.
As for Washington, as I covered in my game preview from less than a month ago, the strength of their team is their defense. Washington has improved since these teams last met, now ranking 4th overall in defense (1st against the pass and 17th against the run). They have a bunch of 1st-round talent and are very well coached on that side of the ball. They badly mauled the Dallas Cowboys (held to a field goal) before their bye week and have had two weeks to prepare for a struggling New York team.
The last time these two teams played, the Giants ran the ball more than they passed. They kept it conservative and it worked out (barely) for them. I expect more of the same. It can be boring, but often times boring is good.
NEW YORK GIANTS ON DEFENSE
I strongly felt the biggest question mark on this coaching staff was Patrick Graham. It’s still very early, but my worries seem to have been misplaced. To be honest with you, I have no idea how he has this defense ranked 13th in yards allowed and 15th in points allowed, given the personnel issues at edge rusher and in the secondary. Outside of 2016, the New York Giants defense has ranked near or at the bottom of the NFL in defense with more talent. Graham has these guys playing above their level of ability. It just shows you what solid coaching can do.
The one thing killing this defense right now, and you can tell it is eating Graham up inside, are the breakdowns at the end of each half. Yes, I keep harping on this, and I will continue to do so, because it is also a major factor in why the team is 1-7. Good defenses make the critical stop in the clutch with the game on the line. This has been an issue for the Giants for years, spanning multiple head coaches and defensive coordinators. Obviously it is related to the pass defense issues (lack of pass rush, issues in the secondary). But it’s happening each and every game. Stop the bleeding!
Like the Giants, Washington remains a miserable offensive football teams. Washington is ranked 30th, the Giants 31st. Both teams struggle run and pass. Keep James Bradberry on wideout Terry McLaurin, cover tight end Logan Thomas, and cover the backs out of the backfield as Washington loves to dump the ball off to them. Because of the final point, it may be better to get the more athletic, younger linebackers on the field in obvious passing situations.
The Giants are a bit banged up on defense with three linebackers on Injured Reserve (Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines, Tae Crowder) and two limited in practice on a short week (Blake Martinez and Devante Downs). CB Ryan Logan is out so Isaac Yiadom is on the spot again. Logan Ryan is also dealing with a hip issue.
NEW YORK GIANTS ON SPECIAL TEAMS
The NYG return game is starting to pick up steam. The Giants have a history of big returns against Washington. This will be a close game and special teams could very well make the difference. Is this the week Jabrill Peppers finally breaks one?
FROM THE COACH’S MOUTH
Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett on teaching Daniel Jones when to give up on a play: “I think that’s the nature of most quarterbacks. Quarterbacks who are worth their salt have a play-making instinct in them. They want the ball in their hands and they want to be the guy who’s guiding the offense but making an impact on what goes on on the field. I would say every quarterback I’ve been around who’s been a really good player has that same instinct. Over time, you learn through experience what plays you simply have to fold on, and you have to get the ball out of your hand and live for another day. Whether it’s punting on the drive or just simply going to second and 10, I think that’s an important thing to understand. The more situations you’re in, if you approach them the right way, you’ll learn from those experiences. Daniel continued to do that. Most guys I’ve been around have gone through that very similar process.”
I’m literally going to copy and past what I wrote when these two teams met less than a month ago:
Two bad football teams with two bottom tier offenses that lack talent. This will likely be a low scoring game with the team making fewer turnovers and more plays on special teams wins the game. It will be one of those ugly games where even winning won’t feel particularly good.

Since the 2017 season, the Washington Football Team and New York Giants have hung out together at the bottom of the NFC East standings. They’ve both undergone coaching and front office regime changes, they both drafted a new first-round quarterback in 2019, and they both rank in the bottom 3 among all offenses in the league. The similarities go on, but the point is these two historic franchises have been the bottom feeders of the NFC East for quite some time now and 2020 appears to be no different.
Kyle Allen, who played under Head Coach Ron Rivera and Offensive Coordinator Scott Turner in 2019 in Carolina, started under center for the second week in a row. Dwayne Haskins was benched, as rumors are now surfacing he has not been putting in the time to learn the scheme on his own. Since he was demoted, Haskins has apparently been coping with a non-Covid 19 sickness, keeping him away from the team at all costs. Now there are trade rumors circulating among people I trust.
On to the game, though. Allen led WAS on a 12-play drive that put them in field goal range. Kicker Dustin Hopkins, whom has never missed a field goal attempt against NYG in his 14 tries dating back to 2015, missed the 47-yarder. This gave NYG the initial field position advantage and it took them just one play to pass midfield. They gained 50 combined yards on their first 5 plays, putting them in the red zone. From there, two of their next three plays combined for -7 yards and it made the home team settle on a Graham Gano 33-yard field goal.
Momentum remained on the NYG side, as Allen threw an interception to James Bradberry on the second play of the next drive, giving NYG the ball at the WAS 27-yard line. Three plays later Daniel Jones hit Darius Slayton on a beautifully-thrown ball in the end zone for the game’s first touchdown. NYG was up 10-0 as the first quarter expired. It was the second game in a row NYG had a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
Both WAS and NYG got into the red zone on their next respective drives but couldn’t punch it in. They traded field goals to make the score 13-3. WAS then went on its second longest drive of the day, 13 plays, that netted 70 total yards. NYG had them stopped but a running into the kicker penalty on their punt from midfield encouraged River Boat Ron to opt for a 4th-and-4 attempt. They converted and 5 plays later Allen found tight end and former Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas for a 5-yard touchdown. That was the end of the half and NYG held a 13-10 lead. This was the first lead NYG had at halftime since they faced WAS on December 22, 2019. Teams that have a lead at halftime win 80% of the time.
The two teams traded scoreless possessions to begin the 3rd quarter. On the Giants second drive, their offense was really clicking. They made it 73 yards via 14 plays, 9 of which were handoffs to Devonta Freeman. They were spreading the ball out, using misdirection, and the offensive line was controlling a very solid WAS defensive front. On 1st-and-goal from the WAS 7-yard line, Jones was pressured by 2020 #2 overall pick Chase Young. He couldn’t step into his throw as he tried to get it out and beyond the end zone on a throw-away attempt. Kendall Fuller intercepted the pass. Rather than NYG putting 7 more points on the board, they came away with 0. Three possessions in the red zone and they had just 6 points to show for it.
WAS began the fourth quarter with another long drive, this one being 14 plays long. The bend-don’t-break NYG defense allowed them to march down the field little by little and all the way to the 10-yard line. But they were able to stop them on third down, a rarity in this game, to hold them to 3 points. It was tied up at 13 and NYG and was searching for a big play. Their offense just wasn’t able to put things together well enough after their quick 10 points to start off the game. Jones had a couple of bad throws that led to a punt and all of the sudden WAS had the ball in their hands with the game tied.
As they breached midfield, the Giants defense sent an aggressive blitz on 3rd-and-9. Kyler Fackrell got to Allen and jarred the ball loose. Rookie linebacker Tae Crowder scooped it up and scampered into the end zone. The big play this team was in desperate need of came from the unlikeliest of sources and NYG had the commanding 7-point lead with just over 3 minutes left.
WAS then took the ball and continued to chip away at the Giants defense steadily but with assurance. They gained yards on 6 straight plays, which put them at the NYG 22-yard line with 0:46 on the clock. Allen then hit Cam Sims on a nicely thrown ball up the left sideline over the hands of Logan Ryan for the touchdown. They were an extra point away from a tie with 0:36 left. River Boat Ron quickly decided to use their momentum and go for 2. All or nothing. Win or lose. No ties, no overtime. Allen took the snap and too-quickly evaded the pocket, cutting the field in half for the NYG defense. His targets were vastly outnumbered and with an angry Dexter Lawrence closing in, he aimlessly chucked it into the end zone with nobody near it. NYG took the ball back after the onside kick recovery by Ryan and that was it.
NYG wins 20-19.
-Daniel Jones: 12-19 / 112 yards / 1 TD – 1 INT
Jones also added 74 yards on the ground via 7 carries, including a long of 49 on a designed run. It is a rarity to see a team run the ball more than pass, but that is exactly what happened in this one. His 19 attempts were the fewest of his career over his 18 starts. In fact, he had never attempted less than 31 passes in a game prior to this. The last time NYG threw the ball under 20 times was 2018 in a 38-35 win over TB. Jones started the game off nice and clean. He was 11-for-13 but after Darius Slayton went down, he finished 1-for-6 and an interception. The interception was a costly one. Had NYG not won, this would have been the focal point. You can’t throw an interception on 1st-and-goal from the 7-yard line in a tight game. One can make the argument it “wasn’t his fault” yet again because he got pressured, but from my eyes, he needs to be quicker with the decision when you know the blocking scheme is going to put a tight end on Chase Young. Jones played well enough to win, he looked outstanding on the ground, and he played tough.
-Devonta Freeman: 18 att / 61 yards and 1 rec / -4 yards
No other running back carried the ball so it is safe to say Freeman is now the “Bell-Cow” on this team for the rest of the year unless someone trades for him. Freeman is showing his old-school, aggressive downhill style that we saw when he was with Atlanta. He gets north in a hurry and can show the occasional jump cut that makes defenders miss. His blocking has also been very good. Dion Lewis and Wayne Gallman were on the field for a combined 13 plays and they touched the ball a combined one time.
-Darius Slayton: 2 rec / 41 yards / 1 TD
-Good to see Slayton make a couple of big plays, the standout being a 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He aggravated an ankle injury on that play but was able to jog off the field. Later on, he went down again and didn’t get back up until the NYG medical staff came out to assist him. At the time of this writing, my guess is he may miss some time. It is pretty easy to see this offense without him out there, in particular the passing game, really struggles. No other wide receiver scares the opposition half as much as he does.
-Golden Tate had a catch for 11 yards and C.J. Board brought one in for 8 yards. Austin Mack caught his first career ball for 1 yard, and that was it for the NYG receivers. One cannot expect a lot of production in a game where they throw the ball 19 times but the issue remains, this group of receivers may be one of the worst 5 in the league. And that is being kind. Sterling Shepard likely won’t return until November.
*Board was taken off the field on a stretcher with a concussion and was released from the hospital Monday.
-Evan Engram was targeted just 3 times. He caught 2 of them for 30 yards. He was covered pretty well by the WAS defense. From my perspective, it looked like he was the focal point of their pass defense. He saw a lot of bracket coverage. I expect teams to replicate that coming up. The Giants seemed to keep him off the field on running plays more than what we have seen this year.
-Kaden Smith led the team with 3 catches. They combined for just 15 yards. Smith was brought here for his blocking prowess and he really has done a poor job there. He allowed a pressure that led to the WAS interception and he allowed a TFL.
-The story of the day was Andrew Thomas being benched for being late to a team meeting. A one-time occurrence isn’t anything to freak out about. All signs have pointed toward Thomas being a good kid who has maturity beyond his years. With that said, extra eyes are on him now. He allowed 1 TFL and 1 pressure. Overall his performance on the field, which was about 50% of the snaps, was average. He got good push in the run game and he was really hustling down the field. His pass protection sets still look inconsistent, however.
-As much as that may have frustrated some, the good news is that rookie 3rd ounder Matt Peart stepped in as the starter at left tackle. He played about half of the game and looked really solid. More on the comparison between Thomas and him below in my closing thoughts but tp be blunt, he proved he should be starting on this line. I predicted mid-season would be that starting point. It may be sooner.
-Cameron Fleming allowed a TFL, sack, and pressure. He was the weak point in this one and continues to be someone we would much rather see as the swing tackle, not a starter. He doesn’t adjust well, he doesn’t recover well.
-Kevin Zeitler and Will Hernandez were up and down. Zeitler allowed 2 TFLs and Hernandez allowed 1 in addition to a pressure. I’ve said this a few times but as long as I keep seeing it, it will keep showing up in the review. Apologies if it seems repetitive: Zeitler looks close to being done. No knee bend, no sustaining with his hands, too many recovery steps to keep himself upright.
-Nick Gates at center is growing on me. He is the one offensive lineman who is getting better each week and that is really important. Do I think he is the answer long term? Not yet. But when you have a guy who proves himself at multiple positions over multiple years, that is huge for the long-term planning and spending. His growth has been a big reason why this NYG running game actually looks pro-caliber after a few nightmarish weeks.
-The first game without Lorenzo Carter went as expected. Nobody stepped up. Markus Golden was on the field for 24 plays. He broke up a pass and hit the quarterback one time. He was single-teamed on nearly every one of his pass rush attempts and didn’t make a sound.
-Rookies Cam Brown and Carter Coughlin were on the field for 5 and 3 plays, respectively. It is hard to get a true evaluation with so little action but Brown’s tool set, as expected, stands out. I think we are going to see a lot of him over the second half of the season.
-Because NYG is so deep at this spot, they can somewhat afford to get away with keeping pure edge guys out of the game plan. Dalvin Tomlinson was all over the field. He finished with 8 tackles, 1 TFL, and a pressure. It isn’t common to see a guy in the middle get involved in so much action, especially one who sees so many double teams against the run. Really solid gamer for him.
-Leonard Williams also had an impressive game with a little but more visible impact. He had 5 tackles, a sack, and 1 pressure. There is some hit-and-miss in his game against the run, which is something I have noticed frequently this year. That may be scheme based, as they send him on a lot of slants post-snap. It can cause him to get ridden out into space, creating big lanes that NYG doesn’t have the linebackers to fill outside of Blake Martinez.
-Dexter Lawrence had 3 tackles and a pressure. Not much to say about him besides the fact he is continuing to show reliability against the run and an occasional flash of athleticism as a pass rusher. B.J. Hill added a pressure and seems to be getting more and more playing time. That may be part of their plan to help offset the pass rush woes coming from the outside.
-Kyler Fackrell is really hitting his stride with the club. He was on the field for every snap, moving all over the place schematically. He had 3 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble that led to a touchdown, and 3 pressures. He was their top pass rusher, as they sent him from all angles. He is a physical, hard-nosed enforcer. That mentality did net a personal foul penalty on a blow to the head of Logan Thomas, but I like what he brings to the table.
-Blake Martinez led the team with 14 tackles while adding a pressure. It looks like the spot next to him may be filled for good. Tae Crowder added 10 tackles and a fumble recovery that he brought all the way back for a touchdown. David Mayo returned from IR and Crowder out-snapped him 62-11. He brings a different level of speed and twitch and he should evolve into a better player in the coming weeks. This is his job for the taking and if he keeps playing like this while cleaning up space-tackling issues (2 misses), Mayo will be the backup.
-This is the best LB core we have had in awhile. Props to the front office, gotta give Gettleman credit where it is due.
-James Bradberry and Ryan Lewis played a fantastic duo game at cornerback. Each had 3 tackles with Bradberry bringing in an interception. He nearly had a second one, but he landed out of bounds with the ball. Lewis added a nice pass break up and was excellent in downfield coverage. These two really controlled the outside passing lanes.
-Logan Ryan had a really up and down game. He had a bad missed tackle, a really big-time pass break up in the end zone, and then gave up the WAS touchdown that nearly tied it up. Overall, he remains a key cog and leader of this defense but there are occasional plays that leave me wondering if there were concentration and discipline issues that led to him not being signed in free agency until really late. His versatility does help a lot, however. When a safety goes down, he steps in. When a corner goes down, he steps in. He had 8 tackles and a sack in addition.
-Darnay Holmes only played 3 snaps before injuring his shoulder/neck area. At the time of this writing, his status is unknown.
-Jabrill Peppers was back to a full-time snap load, as was Julian Love. Love is the one who may have saw a boost in playing time as a result of the Holmes injury. Peppers had 6 tackles including a couple of nice range-plays against the run. Love had 3 tackles and a missed tackle.
-K Graham Gano: 2/2 (Made 33, 20). His elite season continues.
-P Riley Dixon: 2 Punts – 35.0 avg / 34.0 net
-LB Kyler Fackrell, DT Dalvin Tomlinson, CB James Bradberry
-OG Kevin Zeitler, WR Golden Tate, EDGE Markus Golden
Funny how things work in today’s NFL both with the media and fans. After WAS beat PHI week 1, everyone and their mother claimed that WAS had arrived and they were the favorite in the division. This happens every year and it is simply laughable at this point. How come there is such a strong desire to make definitive statements about things that lack definitive information? Just a month later, WAS has benched their 2019 1st-round quarterback, they haven’t won another game, and their young up-and-coming talent is no longer up-and-coming. This WAS football stinks, plain and simple.
The Giants need more talent on the defensive edge. That is no secret or new information, I know. One would assume that more draft resources need to be put there, but no real issue is simply solved with personnel alone. Washington has more 1st round talent along their DL than any team in the league. Chase Young (#2 overall), Montez Sweat (#26 overall), Ryan Kerrigan (#16 overall), Jonathan Allen (#17 overall), and Da’Ron Payne (#13 overall). All that talent and WAS is dead last in the league in QB knockdowns and 20th in pressure percentage. Those are all quality players, too. Not one of them can be considered a bust. It takes so much to get these NYG pass rush woes moving in the right direction, they need to get it going. One positive is that the blitzing schemes seem to be working well.
Where does WAS stand now? 2020 will be a wash in my opinion but this NFC East will leave a lot of doors open. Is Dwayne Haskins (a product of the previous regime) really done there? What are they going to do at receiver/tight end? It seems they have an OK young guy in Terry McLaurin but continue to falter with middle/late round picks behind him. I think WAS is heading toward a 3-4 win season and will be heavily in the QB/WR market in the 2021 draft.
3 CLOSING THOUGHTS
In regard to the two young tackles on this offense, I’m not concerned like some are. I don’t see Thomas being another Flowers; meaning he won’t falter here because of immaturity. I am actually on the other side of the boat. The play of Matt Peart further strengthened the notion I had at the start of the season. Thomas/Peart are likely the long-term future at the tackle spots and that will be a very good thing. The difference between the two was obvious. Thomas has more power, twitch, and sheer ability. Peart does a much better job at staying within himself and trusting his technique. Both are big and powerful but playing tackle in this league is so hard. They will need this season to take their lumps, but I feel good about what they have here in regard to the long-term future. And the tackle positions, economically, are very expensive. If they can get away with quality play with these guys on a rookie deal while their QB is on a rookie deal, watch out in free agency in the coming year or two or three.
I am really looking forward to the game against PHI coming up. It is going to be a very telling game for a couple reasons. One, how does the Joe Judge regime of NYG football respond to a win? The best teams become hungrier. They got the taste of a win and it makes them want it more. They lost 5 games and that can weigh on you throughout a week. All of the sudden, with a win, the energy in the building is different. Confidence in sports means more than most people understand. The second thing I am looking forward to is watching this regime on short rest. NYG has struggled in that department for years and I strongly believe this is where coaching means a ton. The best teams in the league have done well on short rest. Huge test for Judge in a very winnable game.
Did anyone catch how happy the NYG players were for Joe Judge when Daniel Jones gave him the ball in the locker room after his first win? That wasn’t fake. These players love Judge and respect him and play hard for him. I don’t think I’ve seen this much spirited play since Tom Coughlin was here. And the genuine excitement these guys had for Judge was telling. They talked about culture change, as does pretty much every head coach when at the introductory press conference, but very few put that into practice.

It wasn’t pretty, but the New York Giants finally got their first win of the 2020 season by defeating the Washington Football Team 20-19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday. The Giants are now 1-5 on the season.
Both teams came into the game with bottom tier offenses that continued to struggle in this contest. At the start of the game, the Giants actually benched rookie 1st-round pick Andrew Thomas for rookie 3rd-round pick Matt Peart at left tackle. Thomas was being penalized for being late to a team meeting on Saturday night. Meanwhile, it was the last player taken in the 2020 NFL Draft, linebacker Tae Crowder, who saved the day.
Washington actually significantly out-gained the Giants in first downs (24 to 16), total net yards (337 to 240), net yards passing (251 to 108), and time of possession (33:30 to 26:30). The Giants did out-rush Washington (132 to 86), but that was mainly due to quarterback Daniel Jones gaining 74 yards on the ground. The key stat was the Giants won the turnover battle 2-1, with one of Washington’s turnovers leading to a defensive score late in the 4th quarter.
Now counting the kneel down before halftime, the Giants only had the ball three times in the first half. And surprisingly, all three drives ended with points:
9 plays, 48 yards, 33-yard field goal
3 plays, 27 yards, 23-yard touchdown pass from Jones to WR Darius Slayton
Meanwhile, Washington had four first-half possessions:
12 plays, 39 yards, missed 47-yard field goal
2 plays, 0 yards, interception by CB James Bradberry returned 19 yards
11 plays, 70 yards, 35-yard field goal
13 plays, 70 yards, 5-yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds before halftime
On the last drive, it was another case of the Giants’ defense performing well until late in the first half. Nevertheless, New York led 13-10 at the break.
The Giants’ offense did not score in the second half. Not counting the kneel down at the end of the game, the Giants again only had three possessions, two ending with punts and one ending with an interception on a play where Jones was trying to throw the football away after reaching the Washington 7-yard line late in the 3rd quarter.
Washington went three-and-out on their first possession of the second half, but tied the game at 13-13 on their second possession after driving 70 yards in 14 plays to set up a 28-yard field goal with just 9 minutes left to play in the game.
After New York punted the ball away on their last real possession of the game, Washington drove from their 25-yard line to the New York 45-yard line. On 3rd-and-9 with 3:41 to play, quarterback Kyle Allen was sacked by linebacker Kyle Fackrell. Allen fumbled on the play and rookie linebacker Tae Crowder scooped up the loose ball and returned it 43 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. Giants 20 – Washington 13.
But just as the New York defense has struggled all year at the end of the first half, it has also struggled at the end of games. And this contest was no different. With 3:29 left to play, Washington drove 75 yards in 10 plays with Allen throwing a 22-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds left to play. Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera decided to go for the 2-point conversion and win. Allen’s pass fell incomplete and the Giants escaped with the victory after recovering the onside kick.
Jones only completed 12-of-19 passes for 112 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He did rush for 74 yards on seven carries, including a 49-yard effort. Tight end Kaden Smith caught three passes for 15 yards. No other player had more than two catches. Running back Devonta Freeman carried the ball 18 times for 61 yards.
Defensively, the Giants picked up three sacks: defensive lineman Leonard Williams, safety Logan Ryan, and Fackrell, the latter leading to the fumble recovery returned for a touchdown by Crowder. Bradberry also picked off a pass the set the Giants up on the Washington 27-yard line.
The Giants activated LB Trent Harris from the Practice Squad.
Inactive for the game were LB Lorenzo Carter (Achilles), S Adrian Colbert (shoulder), TE Eric Tomlinson, OT Jackson Barton, DE R.J. McIntosh, and LB T.J. Brunson.
WR C.J. Board (neck/concussion) and CB Darnay Holmes (neck) left the game with injuries and did not return. Board was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

POST-GAME NOTES…
Three of the Giants’ last four victories have been against Washington and they have beaten Washington four consecutive times.
All three of QB Daniel Jones’ 2020 touchdown passes have been to WR Darius Slayton.
Jones’ 49-yard run was the longest run by a Giants quarterback in the Super Bowl era.

Game Preview: Washington Football Team at New York Giants, October 18, 2020
My formative years as a New York Giants fan was during the Bill Parcells-Joe Gibbs era during the 1980s. Big Blue Wrecking Crew versus the Hogs. Three hours of punch-you-in-the-face war between two physical teams who respected but despised each other. I was a nervous wreck before each game because each game between these two teams was immensely meaningful. Many of these games became legendary.
Fast forward to October 2020. The 0-5 Giants host 1-4 Washington on Sunday. And I feel nothing. I’m rooting for the Giants to win, but I’m not even sure what’s best for the team in the long term at this point. Sy’56 and I are almost always on the same page, but we were not last year when the Giants and Washington played each other on December 22, 2019 in the “Chase Young Bowl.” Sy felt it was important for the Giants to start develop a winning culture. I wanted Chase Young. On Sunday, we’ll be constantly reminded of that “what might have been” scenario with both Young and Andrew Thomas on the field together.
If Joe Judge is survive and thrive as head coach of the New York Giants, he has to start winning games. This is what Sy was talking about last year when he was addressing developing a winning culture. If the Giants beat Washington and go on to win several more game this year, that will be a positive step in the right direction. But if this is another case of a meaningless, temporary feel-good win against a bad Washington team followed by loss-loss-loss-loss, then it won’t mean much.
WR Darius Slayton (foot – questionable)
DL Dexter Lawrence (knee – questionable)
LB Kyler Fackrell (ankle – probable)
S Jabrill Peppers (ankle – probable)
S Adrian Colbert (shoulder – questionable)
As I predicted in last week’s game preview, the bad Giants offense performed better against the bad Cowboys defense, but it was not productive enough. The defense scored one touchdown and set up another inside the 20-yard line. And the offense handed the Cowboys one defensive score and could not move the ball with the game tied late in the game.
The good news that came out of that game is the running game showed some life, as did Darius Slayton. The bad news was continued issues with Daniel Jones, both tackles, Evan Engram, and the lack of any production from the other wide receivers. Other than the team not winning, my problem with watching the Giants offense right now is I know that many of the players we are watching won’t be on the team in 2020. Evan Engram is due for a monster game, but so what? He’s not the answer for this team. I can’t imagine Golden Tate being back. Or Devonta Freeman. Again, if they look good, so what? They’ll be on other teams next year.
As I wrote about last week, all of my attention is on Daniel Jones, Darius Slayton, and the offensive line. You can also now add Austin Mack to this list (for at least this week). But the lack of complementary talent is negatively impacting these players. And I now feel it’s just a matter of time before Matt Peart replaces Cam Fleming at right tackle and Shane Lemieux replaces Kevin Zeitler at right guard. Will this happen before or after the bye? The sooner this is done, the better. Endure the pain this year, minimize it next year.
Washington isn’t a good football team, but they can present problems with their defense. Joe Judge provided a good scouting report:
It really starts up front with the edge players and the interior. They have a number of first round draft picks on their line… That, complemented by their corners and their play-making safeties, really gives them fits for opposing offenses. They do a good job producing pressure up front and capitalizing on the opportunities produced from up front. This is a team that can get after you with just the front four. They can bring pressure, they do a really good job with their movement schemes, and they change up throughout the game. (Defensive Coordinator Jack) Del Rio does a really good job with (Head Coach) Ron (Rivera) as far as scheming for the opponent, changing up. The other thing they do is they really keep it simple for their players to play fast and play ahead.
Andrew Thomas has had two rough outings in a row. Offensive Line Coach Marc Colombo sounded sincerely confident in Thomas’ future this week. This will be another good test for him. But the entire offensive line will be under the gun. First-round picks Montez Sweat (3 sacks) and Chase Young (2.5 sacks) are disruptive and can get after the quarterback. Both starting defensive tackles – Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne – were also drafted in the first round. How deep are they? Former 1st-round pick and Giants-killer Ryan Kerrigan is now a back-up. Middle linebacker Jon Bostic is once again leading the team in tackles (42).
Nevertheless, Washington has surprisingly been better against the pass (7th in the NFL) than the run (23rd in the NFL). This, combined with the Giants’ lack of play-makers and issues in pass protection, would suggest the Giants more heavily focus on the ground game in this contest. Personally, I would keep it boring and run a lot, sprinkling in passes to the backs and tight ends. Minimize the chances for turnovers. When throwing the football, former Giant safety Landon Collins can be exposed in coverage.
While the Giants defense directly contributed to points on the scoreboard against Dallas, they also came up small again in the crunch. This has been an ongoing problem for the Giants under multiple head coaches and defensive coordinators for years. The defense can’t seem to hold late in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Obviously, this is tied to long-standing pass rush and pass coverage problems. Personally, I was expecting the Giants defense to give an injury-ravaged Cowboys offensive line more problems (though to be fair, Dallas has been the top offense despite offensive line issues all year). If this defense is going to reach the next level, Dalvin Tomlinson, Dexter Lawrence, and Leonard Williams have to become more than “solid” and make game-changing plays.
The defense and long-term planning took another hit when Lorenzo Carter suffered a ruptured Achilles’ tendon last weekend. Carter was never going to become a difference-maker, but it was possible for him to develop into a complementary piece. Now his future is up in the air. With Oshane Ximines also now on IR, the Giants will be giving playing time to another guy who probably won’t be with the team next year, Markus Golden. Personally, I’m hoping we’ll see the young guys such as Cam Brown and Carter Coughlin (if activated) steal some snaps. Again, my focus is more on 2021 at this point than beating Washington. Kyler Fackrell will undoubtedly receive more snaps outside, though he is dealing with an ankle issue.
Ryan Lewis is not the answer at corner, but he settled down the position last week. Madre Harper still lurks in the wings at cornerback too. More troubling, as Sy pointed out, is that Julian Love seems to have fallen out of favor (the Giants need to start hitting on these draft picks or they will never get better… so much for the three defensive backs drafted in 2019). In addition, Jabrill Peppers is still hampered by injury and not making much of an impact. Adrian Colbert hurt the team last week. The loss of Xavier McKinney really looms large (even if he returns, he’ll have a ton of rust on him). To cut to the chase, safety was supposed to be a strength but has become a weakness again.
Like the Giants, Washington has struggled mightily on offense. They are dead last in yards per game and 30th in scoring. Washington is a bit of a mess at quarterback. Dwayne Haskins was benched. Kyle Allen, who was with Ron Rivera in Carolina, started last week but left the game with an injury. He’s expected to return to the line-up this week. Wideout Terry McLaurin is the only real threat Washington has and I would suggest the Giants keep James Bradberry on him. Other than that, Washington throws more to their backs (Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic). As Joe Judge pointed out this week, they are very good at the screen game.
Washington can’t run the football (31st in the NFL… ironically, the Giants are 32nd). There is no excuse for the defensive front of NYG to not shut down the running game. When Washington is in obvious passing situations, I would put my more athletic linebackers on the field to deal with the passes to the running backs. This could be an important game for rookies Tae Crowder and Cam Brown.
I called it. The Giants knew they would have to score points last week and ran a fake field goal for what should have been a touchdown. I am pretty darn sure we’ll see a fake punt soon. Graham Gano has been fantastic. What we need now too is a big return.
Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham on defensive breakdowns at the end of the first half and the end of the game: “I have to get better. I have to call it better, I have to put the guys in a better spot. Is it keeping me up at night? Yeah, it keeps me up a night, I have to figure it out. It’s Week 5 going to Week 6, I have to figure it out.”

New York Giants 41 – Washington Redskins 35 (OT)
After missing two games with an ankle injury, Daniel Jones got his first NFC East road start in Washington against the equally unimpressive 3-11 Redskins. They too were trotting out their 2019 first round quarterback, Dwayne Haskins, who got his first NFL action against the Giants all the way back in week 4. While this game obviously had zero playoff implications, this had been unofficially labeled the “Chase Young Bowl” as the two teams were lined up back-to-back in the 2020 NFL Draft order with the loser grabbing ahold of the #2 spot. More on that later.
For a game that almost nobody outside of the WAS and NYG markets cared about, it was woefully entertaining early on. Jones, on his first drive back from injury, went 3/3 and ended it with a 23-yard pitch-and-catch score to Sterling Shepard. Haskins responded with a 9-play drive of his own that ended with a scramble and short toss to undrafted rookie Steven Sims, Jr. to tie the game.
Saquon Barkley, who we saw run with different life last week in NYG’s win over MIA, took the first carry of the next drive for 8 yards. It was a positive sign considering he had rushed for 33 yards on 2 carries on the Giants’ first possession. What happened next was another feather in the cap for arguably the most talented back in the league despite a rough year. Barkley went right, made two adjustments, broke 2 tackles, and outran the entire WAS defense (in which 2 defenders had the angle) for a 67-yard score. It was the run we had been missing for most of the year. As the 2020 offseason approaches, it is something we can know, with proof, still exists in his game and that the 2019 debacle wasn’t about him.
Haskins and the dead-last ranked WAS offense marched out onto the field and responded with a smooth, simple-looking 12-play drive that ended in another score. This time, Haskins hit undrafted rookie tight end Hale Hentges for the short score. Haskins began the game 8/8 – 72 yards – 2 TD.
As the second quarter began, Jones and the NYG offense showed no signs of slowing down and made it a third straight touchdown scoring drive as he found Barkley running up the seam all by himself for the 33-yard passing score. Barkley, who I have been pounding the table for in regard to getting him out in space as a receiver, was on his way to a career game and it had that feel early on in the 2nd quarter with a lot of football left. The first five series of the game all ended in touchdowns, a first in the history of the NFL.
The game slowed down a tad as the teams traded punts on three straight possessions. The Giants got one last possession in the first half starting at their own 27-yard line with just over 2 minutes left. On 2nd-and-10, Jones was tripped up as he escaped the pocket and fell to the ground. It was a sack, however the refs were late to blow the whistle and WAS linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton launched himself at Jones, who was on a knee, creating the first fracas of the game between the division rivals. After all was sorted out, NYG was given 15 yards and a first down. Former Giant Landon Collins was sought out by Barkley and Shepard for a dirty move in which he pulled down Kaden Smith to the ground from behind.
On the very next play, Jones hit Golden Tate for a 31-yard gain. Two plays later he threw a perfect ball to Cody Latimer in the end zone but it went right through his fingers. Jones, who has shown maturation beyond his years all season, found Latimer two plays later in front of the goal line and the 6-year vet who weighs in at 223 pounds drove his way and defenders into the end zone for the touchdown. NYG took a 28-14 lead into the half.
As has been the case for much of the year, this game was a tale of two halves. On the opening play of the second half, Haskins was sandwiched on a sack between Lorenzo Carter and Markus Golden. He was bent around awkwardly and was soon after carted off. Two plays later, Morgan Moses went down with his own injury and WAS, the most injured team in football over the past three seasons, had the look of a team that simply wanted to throw up the white flag and get out of there. Case Keenum, the week 1 starter for WAS, was back to face off against his former QB coach, Pat Shurmur. Ironically, many say Keenum’s performance in 2017 was the reason why Shurmur eventually got offered the HC job in NY.
On Keenum’s first full drive as the signal caller, WAS drove down the field and put up 7 more points for WAS. It was interesting to see the rookie WAS pass catchers against the rookie NYG defensive backs. Clear advantage went to the offense as they couldn’t seem to contain Sims who caught his second touchdown of the day.
The lone NYG second half touchdown came on an impressive 9-yard toss to rookie tight end Kaden Smith, who has been making a name for himself to say the least. The score was 35-21 at the start of the fourth quarter but WAS kept on hanging around as the NYG offense fluttered while ignoring Barkley with the lead. Riley Dixon had a punt blocked, setting WAS up at the NYG 17-yard line. Two plays later, the ageless Adrian Peterson scored a 1-yard touchdown to put him fourth on the all-time rushing touchdown list.
After another scoreless drive by NYG, WAS began their last drive of regulation from their own 1-yard line. A backup QB, 3 rookie receivers, a non-threat in the backfield, 3 backup offensive linemen, and a 3rd-string tight end on the 32nd-ranked offense in the NFL. That is whom the NYG defense was up against. 14 plays later, WAS crossed the goal line via a 1-yard run by Keenum.
NYG did have 30 seconds left and Pat Shurmur sent Aldrick Rosas out for a 62-yard field goal before changing his mind, having Jones throw a Hail Mary. His toss came up about 7 yards short and the game went into overtime.
NYG won the coin toss, obviously electing to take the ball. It was the Jones-Shepard-Barkley show as only those three touched the ball for the first 10 plays of their drive. Those 10 plays took them to the WAS 3-yard line on 3rd down. Jones then found Smith for his second score of the game and NYG took their second win in as many weeks.
NYG win 41-35.
-Daniel Jones: 28/42 – 352 yards – 5 TD / 0 INT / 132.1 RAT. It was a historic day for Jones. He is only the third rookie QB in NFL history with 3+ games of 4+ TD. He set the NYG rookie passing TD record. He is the first ever rookie to pass for 350+ yards and 5 TD in the same game. He was on the money from the start and to see that after missing two games with an ankle injury puts another feather in the toughness-cap. Jones was on fire within the intermediate route tree and he spread the ball out plenty. His ball is so clean out of his hands and it adds some zip to his passes. Two negatives were (1) on five different occasions, it looked like Jones was late to see and anticipate throwing lanes, and (2) the lack of true downfield arm strength showed up on that Hail Mary attempt. Neither are a big deal but just worth noting. Excellent game for Jones on so many levels and this was a big deal for his QB maturation.
-Saquon Barkley: 22 att / 189 yards / 1 TD – 4 rec / 90 yards / 1 TD. We talked last week about Barkley getting 25+ touches and how much it means to this team winning. While there is more to it than that simple fact, it is amazing what this offense can look like when he is clicking. Barkley’s explosion and speed are fully back and he is back to breaking tackles nearly every time he gets the ball. Now, lets see what he looks like against a very motivated and stingy PHI defense. Career game for #26.
-Golden Tate: 6 rec / 96 yards. Tate led the team with 11 targets. I have to confirm this before stating it as fact but I believe Tate has been targeted more times per game than any NYG pass catcher. I think he can be an important player for this team next year as he and Jones clearly have a connection, notably on 3rd down.
-Sterling Shepard: 6 rec / 76 yards / 1 TD. Strong day for Shepard, as he caught all 6 of his targets and came down with the big TD catch on the opening drive. The underneath-only threat to this point in his career has made a habit of making the tough catch in traffic, which I believe could lengthen his career when his young twitch/explosion starts to decrease over the years.
-Cody Latimer: 5 rec / 44 yards / 1 TD. The 5 catches were a career high for Latimer, who if you remember finished strong in 2018 week 17 vs DAL. I still think Latimer is a good player to have on the back end of a roster. He is a professional who plays strong and tough. He did drop a TD pass just two plays prior to his score.
-Kaden Smith: 6 rec / 35 yards / 2 TD. Smith’s two touchdowns came after halftime and while they were big plays, his biggest impact was in the running game. Smith was a key component to Barkley going off and there is a credible discussion to be had here. Does Smith and his presence in the trenches offer more to an offense built around Barkley than Engram? I don’t lean either way right now but a case can be made for both sides.
-The best grade we have seen from Nate Solder all year. He was excellent in this one against a trio of pass rushers who have made plenty of impact this year and in the past against NYG. Mike Remmers was solid on the other side until he got hurt. In stepped the trustworthy Nick Gates, who is showing excellent versatility and assurance when it comes to NYG building a deep offensive line for 2020. It is amazing what happens to an offense when the OL is stable, particularly outside.
-Kevin Zeitler returned after missing last week and I could tell he really wanted to be out there. There was some extra pep in his step and he made some key impact blocks on the big Barkley runs.
-Will Hernandez had the lowest grade along the OL, but even that wasn’t an awful game. He was pretty average and similar to what he has been all year. He allowed a pressure and a TFL. Center Jon Halapio also allowed a TFL and a pressure. He remains overly stiff and slow out there against lateral pass rushers.
-Markus Golden and Lorenzo Carter were up against two low end tackles in the second half (after RT Moses went down) and they clearly took over. Golden finished with a half-sack and 3 pressures to go along with 5 tackles. Man, this guy made some serious money with his play in 2019. Carter had his best game of his young career. He had 4 tackles / 1.5 sacks / 5 pressures / 1 pass break up. He did it from both sides and was all over the place. While I can’t go into the offseason with confidence he can be built around, the fact he is flashing here and there is a positive sign in that he can, at least, be a solid rotational guy with elite tools.
-Leonard Williams, whether you hated or loved the trade, has been making his case to get the long-term deal that is sure to be debated here in the coming weeks. Even though it has mostly been against poor OL, Williams has been making a difference, plain and simple. He finished with 3 tackles and 2 pressures and was outstanding against the run. He was both stout and rangy, cutting off the lanes away from the intended target of the RB so there wouldn’t be any innovation that turned into big plays. You really have to zero in on him to appreciate all that he does right and his physical tools that everybody loved coming out of USC.
-Dalvin Tomlinson finished with 2 tackles, both of which were for a loss, and B.J. Hill had a sack. Dexter Lawrence had 2 tackles / 1 TFL and looks his best when lined up over the center. He is so stout but also athletic enough to reach and cut off the “B” gaps. His consistency snap to snap when it comes to leverage and hand usage still leaves a lot to be desired, though.
-Alec Ogletree tweaked his back before the game began. This opened the door for Deone Bucannon to get a season-high 76% of the snaps. He played well, finishing with 7 tackles, 1 pressure, and I am pretty sure he forced the near-fumble on Keenum at the end of the 4th quarter. Had that been a turnover at that point in the game, he could have easily been labeled the hero. Not sure where he stands on this team down the road, but he has played pretty well in his opportunities.
-David Mayo tied for the team lead in tackles with 10 and was on the field for every defensive snap.
-The young NYG corners got a little beat up in this one. Deandre Baker did have 10 tackles but that was largely a result of him being targeted often and allowing catches. He was also flagged for a pass interference that led WAS to the goal line where they scored on the very next play. He also lost outside contain on a couple occasions which we have seen too many times this year. Confidence wise, I still see Baker playing faster but he clearly isn’t there yet.
-Corey Ballentine was torched in this one. Again, I just can’t see the fit at nickel with him because he is the kind of corner that needs the sideline to use as a boundary. He allowed 2 touchdowns and was flagged on a 4th-and-goal incomplete pass because of a blatant pass interference. If he simply turned his head to locate the ball, it would have been an easy pass breakup. He has been a major weakness in his rookie year and had this been an important game, he would be getting roasted today.
-Sam Beal finished with 6 tackles and, in my opinion, looked the best in coverage all things considered. One thing I see with him too is the attention to detail on his run-defense assignments. He is almost always where he needs to be and he caused a TFL that stemmed from maintaining his outside leverage. He did go down with a neck injury late in the game but returned.
-Antoine Bethea made a couple nice open field tackles but also allowed a touchdown to a 4th-string, blocking tight end and missed 2 tackles on the day.
-Julian Love finished with 7 tackles but whiffed twice and was beat on 3rd down a couple of times.
-K Aldrick Rosas: 5/5 XP – 0/1 FG (Missed 57). Man I wish we could have seen him go for the 62 yarder to win the game.
-P Riley Dixon: 3 Punts / 45.0 avg / 33.8 avg. He had one called back because of a Michael Thomas hold which then turned into his next attempt getting blocked.
-QB Daniel Jones, RB Saquon Barkley, EDGE Lorenzo Carter
-CB Corey Ballentine, OG Will Hernandez, S Antoine Bethea
The positive side of things for WAS centers around their QB. I’ve seen all of Haskins’ snaps this year. He did start off poorly, there was no questioning it. However ,this first half against NYG and the previous week against a motivated PHI defense was some of the best football we have seen out of a rookie QB in the league this year. He has been on steady incline since October and a lot now comes down to hard he works in the offseason. His biggest issue? Poor footwork. His biggest positive? Accuracy.
With that said, being as unbiased as I can be, I don’t think WAS is in a better position moving forward than NYG. Especially if they lose Trent Williams long term, which appears to be the case (get on that NYG). They need 2 or 3 OL, they need a RB, they need depth along the DL, and they need a corner or two. Same can be said for the amount of holes on NYG’s team but the talent they have in place is a tier under what NYG has. Plus, Dan Snyder is their owner.
Landon Collins signed with WAS last offseason. The 6 year / $84 million deal was way beyond what NYG was willing to offer and as much as I liked Collins, he was never worth that. Many NYG fans are conditioned to complain when the team doesn’t sign a homegrown talent in free agency but watching him all year and watching him in this game especially confirmed that it was one of Dave Gettleman’s right decisions in letting him walk. It was fitting that he was the one that allowed the touchdown in overtime to seal the WAS loss.
I want to address the argument that fans should be cheering for this team to lose. The desire for a higher draft pick is something of fantasy land. This is a stretch of NYG football that has unfortunately left some fans conditioned to losing and reading through mock drafts and checking for future free agents for months. It fills the void that used to be filled by winning football. But I will bring this to my grave: rooting for losses to enhance a draft position is downright foolish and goes against what you want this team to do. Yes, you may get a better player if you are picking higher in the draft but don’t fall into the trap that it will bring this team back to playoff contention. The best teams, year after year, are NOT the ones picking at the top of the draft. The best players in the NFL are NOT the ones taken at the top of the draft. Repeated winning is built on culture, not top draft picks. Culture is built via winning games, even the mislabeled “meaningless” games at the end of the year. That performance by Daniel Jones, the offensive line, the pass rush, Saquon Barkley…etc is a positive step in their respective progressions. If you are still hell-bent on this team NEEDING to pick #2 overall, go take a look at the top 10 picks over the past decade. And see if you can convince yourself that the #2 overall pick was a difference maker over the guys taken in the next 5-6 picks.
There is going to be a tough decision for NYG in regard to their edge rusher hole once the offseason comes. First of all, what scheme are you playing? Second, as well as Golden played, what if a better option becomes available via free agency? I think Golden is good but I don’t think he is in the first or second tier of edge rushers. The name I keep coming back to is JAC edge rusher Yannick Ngakou. I would rather pay him tier 1 money than Golden tier 2 money, but I know a case can be made either way.
Are the Giants OK at cornerback? There is young talent and we have seen Baker and Beal flash especially. However, I think there are questions with both and two guys aren’t enough for a strong secondary. I’ve seen the neglect of CB just ruin teams over the years and there will be one, maybe 2 corners in the draft with top 5 grades. You have to understand the importance of a true shutdown corner in this game and I think NYG has a strong shot at one of those guys in April.
In a game filled with terrible defense by both teams, the New York Giants defeated the Washington Redskins 41-35 in overtime on Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. With the win, the Giants improved their overall record to 4-11 with one game left to play. The downside to the victory is the Giants probably lost out on any chance to land the #2 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft with the possibility of drafting highly regarded pass rusher Chase Young out of Ohio State.
The story of the game for the Giants was the play of quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley. Jones completed 28-of-42 passes for 352 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. He became the first rookie in NFL history with 350+ passing yards, five touchdown passes, and no interceptions in a single game. Barkley rushed 22 times for 189 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 4 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown for a total of 279 yards from scrimmage.
The two teams combined for five straight 75-yard touchdown drives to begin the game, three by New York and two by Washington:
Giants: 5 plays, 75 yards, 23-yard TD pass to wide receiver Sterling Shepard from Jones
Redskins: 9 plays, 75 yards, 10-yard TD pass from quarterback Dwayne Haskins
Giants: 2 plays, 75 yards, 67-yard TD run by Barkley
Redskins: 12 plays, 75 yards, 6-yard TD pass from Haskins
Giants: 10 plays, 75 yards, 33-yard TD pass to Barkley from Jones
Haskins didn’t throw his first incompletion until midway through the 2nd quarter on a possession that resulted in Washington’s first punt of the game. Jones was almost equally perfect with one incompletion at this point in the contest.
The Giants were finally forced to punt on their fourth possession of the first half. After Washington’s second punt, the Giants went ahead by two scores late in the half on a 9-play, 73 yard drive that ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jones to wide receiver Cody Latimer with 38 seconds left.
At the half, the Giants led 28-14.
The Redskins lost Haskins on their first drive of the 3rd quarter when he suffered an ankle injury when he was sacked by linebackers Markus Golden and Lorenzo Carter. Case Keenum then entered the game for Washington at quarterback.
Both teams exchanged punts to start the second half before the Redskins tightened the game at 28-21 with a 7-play, 60-yard scoring drive that ended with a 7-yard touchdown pass by Keenum. The Giants responded with a 5-play, 73-yard touchdown drive of their own that was sparked by a 51-yard screen pass to Barkley. Jones finished the possession with a 9-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kaden Smith on 3rd-and-5. Giants 35 – Redskins 21.
Momentum began to swing Washington’s way in the 4th quarter. After a Redskins punt, New York punter Riley Dixon had his punt blocked and recovered by Washington at the Giants’ 17-yard line. Running back Adrian Peterson scored from 1-yard out and the Redskins were once again within one touchdown at 35-28.
The Giants reached the Washington 35-yard line on the ensuing drive but place kicker Aldrick Rosas missed a 53-yard field goal attempt. Both teams then exchanged punts, with the Giants downing their effort at the Washington 1-yard line with 6:28 left to play. Nevertheless, the Redskins proceeded to drive 99 yards in 14 plays to tie the game up at 35-35 with 29 seconds left in the game. Washington converted on 3rd-and-9, 3rd-and-5, 3rd-and-1, and 4th-and-3 (pass interference on the Giants) on this game-tying possession. Keenum finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown scramble.
With two seconds left in regulation, Head Coach Pat Shurmur originally had his field goal team line up for what would have been a 63-yard attempt. Instead, he called a time out and tried a Hail Mary by Jones that fell incomplete.
The Giants won the overtime coin toss and proceeded to win the game with an 11-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a dramatic Jones-to-Smith 3-yard touchdown pass on 3rd-and-goal.
The Giants finished with 552 yards of offense (206 rushing, 346 passing) and 28 first downs. New York’s defense allowed 361 yards of offense (80 rushing, 281 passing) and 25 first downs. The Giants did have three sacks: Carter (1.5), Golden (0.5), and defensive lineman B.J. Hill (1.0). The defense did not force a turnover.

Game Preview: New York Giants at Washington Redskins, December 22, 2019
Alright, we’ve had enough of the doom-and-gloom game previews. Plus, we had our Eli Manning tribute last week. While we don’t yet know who will be shepherding this team moving forward, we can take a look at how the roster currently stacks up with two games remaining in the 2019 NFL regular season. Obviously, these views are mine alone. Many won’t agree.
Quarterback: Daniel Jones has shown me enough that I think he can be the franchise quarterback this team needs moving forward. I see a big, smart, mobile quarterback with a better-than-advertised arm who throws a gorgeous deep ball and who has demonstrated far better accuracy than Eli Manning as a rookie. The only Pat Shurmur quote that sticks in my mind this year is him telling the press that Jones is smarter than any of the coaches. The two valid criticisms I see are: (1) he’s been a turnover machine, and (2) the offense hasn’t produced enough points with him at the helm. Regarding point #1, the primary issue has been fumbles. Yes, he has 11 interceptions in 10 starts, but three of those came in his last start after he suffered a high-ankle sprain. Manning had nine interceptions in seven starts as a rookie. The picks don’t bother me so much. The fumbles (an astounding 15, 10 lost) are a different story. I think that is correctable. Others are not as optimistic. What I do firmly believe is that most quarterbacks would have fumbled on some of the shots he has taken. Regardless that has to be rectified moving forward. You can’t have a QB who fumbles the ball away every single game. Regarding point #2, I think most observers can see that the liabilities of the coaching staff, offensive line, and injured/missing skill level players have been a significant dead weight for the rookie quarterback. In short, I believe in Daniel Jones. I certainly don’t see enough negative for the Giants to spend their upcoming top 5 pick on another quarterback.
Eli Manning will either retire as a New York Giant in January or unceremoniously move on to another team. Either way, his departure will likely be overshadowed by news on the general manager and head coach. Sad. If Shurmur does depart, the team will likely look to bring in a new veteran, back-up quarterback.
Running Back: Saquon Barkley has had a dreadful sophomore season in the NFL. But let’s not forget that he was “Rookie of the Year” and accrued over 2,000 yards just 12 months ago. The high-ankle sprain has obviously been an issue, as has the offensive line. Many subjectively believe the coaching staff doesn’t maximize his talent. But Saquon has to accept some of the responsibility for his down performance. There was too much pitty-pat to his game in 2019. And he dropped too many balls as a receiver, something he didn’t do as a rookie. The good news is that it appears he is starting to get out of his funk and I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a strong finish to this season. I believe that Saquon Barkley can be the best player in this league. But the organization has to give him an offensive line and a coaching staff who knows how to use him. He also has to fully commit himself to the game.
The (new?) coaching staff will have to decide about the back-up situation moving forward. Wayne Gallman’s stock has fallen to the point where he has been inactive in recent games. Buck Allen flashed late against the Miami Dolphins, but obviously that sample size is far too small. These last two games are very important for him.
Wide Receiver: If the Giants had the 2014-2016 version of Odell Beckham on this team, they would look in outstanding shape with him and Barkley as two of very top players at their respective positions in all of the NFL. But Beckham has been a shadow of former self for the past three years. He will just break 1,000 yards in 2019 and currently only has two touchdowns. Dave Gettleman deserves a lot of criticism, but not for trading Beckham for three starters.
Perhaps the best news coming out of 2019 was the unexpected productivity of 5th-round draft pick Darius Slayton, who has six more touchdown receptions than Beckham. Slayton is not just a deep threat. He runs good routes, adjusts well to the football, and does damage after the catch. Hopefully, he keeps his head on straight.
Sterling Shepard just can’t seem to put together that one season that everyone hopes and expects he will eventually have. In four seasons, he has yet to catch more than 66 passes and 900 yards in a season. His long-term future in the NFL is now in doubt due to multiple concussions. Golden Tate is a playmaker, but he appears to rub many the wrong way. His future likely depends on what the (new?) coaching staff wants to do with him. Cody Latimer teased but never developed.
The Giants need more help here, especially with Shepard’s long-term future in doubt.
Tight End: After a promising rookie season, Evan Engram just hasn’t developed as hoped. He can’t block and that hurts the team’s ability to run the football. Worse, he can’t stay healthy. He’s missed 13-of-28 games the past two seasons with four different injuries. He teases with game-changing, highlight plays. But they are too infrequent and he can’t be counted upon. If Engram is not traded in the offseason, he faces a make-or-break season in 2020.
Rhett Ellison is scheduled to make almost $5 million in salary in 2020. He has 18 catches and one touchdown this year. I would say his roster spot is in serious jeopardy. At best, Kaden Smith is probably a #2 tight end.
The Giants need an infusion of reliable talent here. It’s comical that at one point in the 2019 season that the Giants had five tight ends on the roster.
Offensive Line: Stating the obvious, this has been the offense’s Achilles’ heel for almost a decade. This organization simply appears incompetent in addressing the offensive line. Heading into 2019, on paper, it looked like this line should have been at worst “average.” Established veterans Nate Solder, Kevin Zeitler, and Mike Remmers were supposed to stabilize a line that also included supposed up-and-comer Will Hernandez. Dave Gettleman and Pat Shurmur also kept telling us how good Jon Halapio was. Oddly, the “revamped” offensive line performed worse than the hodgepodge line thrown together at the end of 2018. The sum of the parts never equaled the whole. Daniel Jones got hit far too much and Saquon Barkley rarely had room to run.
The problem here is we don’t really know how much coaching and dysfunctional schemes played a role. Offensive Line Coach Hal Hunter wasn’t even employed in 2017. Will Hernandez and Kevin Zeitler should have been better than they were. Nate Solder hasn’t performed well since he signed that mega-contract with the Giants two years ago, but how much was he distracted by the unimaginable health issues of his child? Remmers was what he was expected to be, but he obviously isn’t the answer at right tackle moving forward. Team decision makers seriously misjudged Halapio’s ability.
At the very least, the Giants MUST find replacements for both tackles and the center. It’s clear that both Eli Manning and Daniel Jones don’t trust Solder and it affected their play. If the Giants don’t draft Chase Young with their first pick, then it should be a left tackle.
Defensive Line: Two years ago, fans were a combination of thrilled and/or curious about the shift from the 4-3 defense to the 3-4. James Bettcher came to the organization with the reputation of an up-and-coming defensive genius who could create mismatches with innovative blitzing schemes. Fast forward to 2019. Fans are now calling for the return to the 4-3 and James Bettcher is widely regarded as a moron.
Again, the problem with evaluating this area is how much of an issue has the coaching staff been? Has the defensive line been put in the best position to succeed? From the start, it seemed odd that Dexter Lawrence wasn’t playing over the center. Defensive Line Coach Gary Emanuel doesn’t have an impressive resume. The overall picture moving forward has been complicated by Gettleman’s decision to spend two draft picks on soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Leonard Williams, who is demanding top dollar despite not accruing a single sack with the Jets and Giants in 2019.
As of December 2019, the defensive line is clearly the strongest unit on a bad defense. They are a big, physical group that can hold the point-of-attack and stop the run. However, they cannot generate a consistent pass rush. That’s more acceptable in a 3-4 alignment, but what scheme will the team be employing in 2020? Bettcher and Emmanuel may not even be here. Should the Giants spend big bucks to justify the trade for Williams? Dexter Lawrence looks like the real deal. Dalvin Tomlinson is now playing the best football of his young career. More was expected from B.J. Hill and R.J. McIntosh. If the Giants keep the 3-4, then it makes more sense to bring all of these guys back. But if the team shifts to the 4-3, then is it a wise use of resources to have Lawrence, Tomlinson, Hill, and Williams man just the two inside DT spots? These guys aren’t really 4-3 outside rushers.
Team needs here depend on what alignment the Giants choose to use going forward. The good news is that Chase Young can play 4-3 end or 3-4 edge rusher. But if they go back to the 4-3, the team will need more help at defensive end unless they think Lorenzo Carter, Markus Golden, and Oshane Ximines can make the transition. This is possible, but not a given.
Linebacker: Like the offensive line, the franchise has not been able to adequately address this position for years. It’s one of the main reasons why the team has been abused by tight ends and why the run defense has been so hit-or-miss. With the possible exception of Saquon Barkley’s ankle sprain, the injury that hurt the Giants most this year was rookie Ryan Connelly tearing his ACL in Week 4. The guy looked like a stud. Now we’ll have to see if he can truly regain his form before his career even had a chance to take off.
As discussed with the defensive line, much depends on what scheme the Giants employ in 2020. Lost in the terrible season was Markus Golden’s rebound season (60 tackles, 9 sacks). He will be an unrestricted free agent. There is a risk of overpaying here for a player who did suffer a career-impacting injury. Moreover, what if the Giants shift back to the 4-3? How do Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines fit? A lot of questions.
Regardless of the scheme, I think it is time to part ways with Alec Ogletree. I don’t think the guy is a winner and I think it’s pretty clear that giving up two draft picks for him 2018 was a mistake. The big bucks signing of Kareem Martin never really paid off either and one has to think that his time here is nearing an end.
There is a dearth of talent at middle/inside linebacker on this team even if Connelly can return at 100 percent. The Giants desperately need physical, athletic, instinctive play-makers at the position. If the team shifts back to the 4-3, the need for 3-down outside linebackers who can cover also becomes an issue.
Defensive Back: While things did not go as planned here in 2019, there are reasons to be optimistic. Jabrill Peppers started off slowly, but then began to improve his play until he suffered a transverse process fracture in his back in late November. He may never be a Pro Bowler, but it does appear he can do enough to have a productive career as a starter in the NFL if used correctly. James Bettcher and Dave Gettleman really miscalculated on Antoine Bethea. They thought they could get one more respectable season out of him; they were dead wrong. There were also hopes that Sean Chandler could surprise but that obviously didn’t happen.
At cornerback, Janoris Jenkins predictably finally wore out his welcome. Unfortunately, Gettleman didn’t receive anything in return for him before he put his foot in his mouth. Bettcher stuck with Grant Haley for too long and paid for it.
The good news here is the young guns. While their careers can still go in either direction, there was enough ups from Deandre Baker, Sam Beal, Corey Ballentine, and Julian Love to think they could have a bright future with the team. Over the years, we’ve seen enough promising defensive backs fail to deliver. Nothing is a given. But there is talent to work with.
In terms of needs moving forward, much depends on how the (new?) coaching staff feels like a safety combo of Julian Love and Jabrill Peppers. Remember, Love was a collegiate corner and a new staff could like him as a nickel corner. Baker, Beal, and Ballentine – the three “Bs” – could form a good young core of outside corners, but a veteran presence would help.
Special Teams: We may have seen the last of Zak DeOssie as a long snapper. The Giants have already committed to Riley Dixon as punter with his new contract. Aldrick Rosas took a major step backwards in 2019 with four missed extra points and a 73.3 percent average on field goals. I wouldn’t get rid of him, but he will be on notice.
QB Daniel Jones (ankle)
TE Rhett Ellison (concussion – out)
RG Kevin Zeitler (ankle)
LB Oshane Ximines (ankle)
Once the whistle blows, I can never bring myself to root against the Giants. It’s not in my DNA. But logically speaking, it would be best for the Giants to lose this game. The loser of this game will likely draft Chase Young. I’m hoping for a great game from Daniel Jones and mind-numbing, game-losing coaching decision by Pat Shurmur.
Game Review: New York Giants 24 – Washington Redskins 3
Janoris Jenkins – © USA TODAY Sports
New York Giants 24 – Washington Redskins 3
For the first time since November 14 2004, Eli Manning ran out of the tunnel as the Giants’ backup quarterback. This time around he was the veteran who was watching a rookie take over the reigns. After a memorable NFL debut in Tampa, Daniel Jones started for Big Blue for the first time at MetLife Stadium. Their opponent? The other basement dweller of the NFC East, the 0-3 Redskins.
The Redskins entered the game without their staring left tackle, starting right guard, and starting center. Journeyman Case Keenum remained their starting QB after a horrific Monday night performance just 6 days prior and then spending the week in a walking boot. The Giants on the other hand were without 2 of their 3 rotational inside linebackers and still without Golden Tate, who was in his final week of suspension. However, the biggest hole on their game-day roster was at running back, as Saquon Barkley walked out of the tunnel in street clothes for the first time in his very young career as he recovers from a high ankle sprain.
Keenum and the broken offense lasted just two plays before turning the ball over via a interception to LB Ryan Connelly. The Giants offense started off hot yet again, as they scored on their opening drive for the fourth straight game. Jones hit a wide open Wayne Gallman for a 6-yard score. Whatever process they undergo to script that opening drive, it’s working. The Redskins were getting flagged early and often and that remained to be the case for the entire game. WAS was penalized two times on their ensuing offensive drive four times on the next NYG offensive drive. NYG was reaping rewards of being officiated by the crew that led all referees in flags thrown over the first three weeks.
With WAS playing sloppy and tired, typical of both this franchise in recent memory and teams playing on short rest, NYG’s 13-play, 94-yard drive resulted in another Gallman touchdown, this one a 1-yard rush. NYG got the ball back after forcing a three-and-out but Jones gave it right back, throwing his first interception as a pro to Quinton Dunbar. The NYG defense then forced another three-and-out and it appeared the game was on repeat, as Jones threw his second interception to Dunbar on as many drives. This time WAS turned it into 3 points with their own 1st rounder, Dwayne Haskins, being inserted into the lineup. The Giants lead was 14-3.
Jones’ next step in maturation was on display at this point. After two straight turnovers, he led NYG on a 10-play, 63-yard drive that resulted in a 20-yard field goal by Aldrick Rosas. Jones successfully converted a 3rd-and-4, a 2nd-and-20, and a 2nd-and-6 for first downs respectively with both his arm and his legs. That kind of short memory and composure through adversity is yet another reason why this team is all of the sudden better with him at the helm. NYG led 17-3 at the half and it seemed like a much bigger margin.
The Giants’ defensive domination continued on into the second half, as WAS didn’t reach the 100-total yard mark until the final two minutes of the 3rd quarter. Just moments after they eclipsed that mark, Haskins threw his first interception as a pro to Jabrill Peppers, the safety who wears #21 on his jersey. Peppers has had a pretty quiet start to his NYG career but perhaps this was the best moment to break out, as the former #21 of NYG, Landon Collins, was standing on the WAS sideline. Collins has had trouble keeping his mouth shut since he and the Giants organization parted ways. NYG lengthened their lead to 24-3 as the fourth quarter approached.
Offensively NYG struggled to move the ball in the second half, as the stout WAS defensive line controlled the point-of-attack and both running backs, Gallman and Jon Hilliman both turned the ball over via fumbles. The Giants lead was too much for WAS to handle, though, as Haskins threw two more interceptions and the refs continued to penalize the visitors with flags. All in all, it was as dominant a win as NYG has had in quite some time. They had the ball for over 36 minutes and were flagged 5 times opposed to the 12 times the Skins were flagged. This game never felt close.
Giants win 24-3.
-Daniel Jones: 23/31 – 225 yards – 1 TD / 2 INT – 78.0 QBR. Jones also gained 33 yards on the ground. It was a shaky performance by the second-start rookie, as he turned the ball over twice. Because the opponent was one of the worst two teams in football, those turnovers didn’t come back to bite and make a big difference. As mentioned above, the best positive that came out of this for Jones was showing he can forget about the mistakes and go into the following drive(s) with a clear head. Jones’ composure is something I have discussed several times dating back to preseason and he put another check in that box.
–Wayne Gallman: 18 att / 63 yards / 1 TD – 6 Rec / 55 yards / 1 TD. While Gallman is never going to be mistaken for Barkley, he answered the call with the only two scores by the Giants offense on the day. While he had a hard time finding space to maneuver in the running game, he did have a couple of key big gains. His pass blocking left a little to be desired as well, as he just couldn’t hold his ground on a couple of occasions and it really tightened the pocket for Jones.
-Jon Hilliman: 10 att / 33 yards. Hilliman had a shot at his first pro touchdown but he fumbled inside the WAS 5-yard line and turned it over. With NYG taking a quick, commanding lead he was given his fair share of opportunities to split the carries with Gallman but he couldn’t quite stand out.
-Sterling Shepard: 7 rec / 76 yards. Shepard also carried the ball once for 23 yards on a play that seems to be a weekly staple for the team. A look at the stats and one may not be overly impressed by Shepard, but his presence on this offense is vital especially on third downs. Other than a 3rd-and-18 dump off pass, Shepard converted all of his fourth, third, and second down catches for first downs. He, combined with Engram and the incoming Golden Tate, will be instrumental in the early progression of Jones.
-Darius Slayton, Bennie Fowler, and Cody Latimer combined for 3 catches on just 4 targets. Latimer was targeted twice but he was flagged for offensive pass interference two times in his first game back from missing time with a concussion. With Tate coming back, Fowler and Slayton will likely see less snaps.
-Evan Engram: 4 rec / 54 yards. Engram saw a lot of double teams / bracket coverage from the WAS back seven. I think a lot of teams are going to do this because of how much Shurmur wants to feature Engram as the primary target and Jones’ early inclination to force him the ball. Engram was quiet but he did have a 31-yard gain that was mostly yards-after-catch. His blocking took a step back in this one, as he couldn’t handle the WAS edge defenders.
-Rhett Ellison added 3 rec / 24 yards. One thing I have always liked about his game is the desire and constant effort as a downfield blocker. Ellison is the one guy who, every single week, he is looking to make an extra push on a defender away from the ball. He may not be the stout blocker I assumed when NYG first signed him, but he brings the team-first, blue-collar approach that I think is really important on a winning team.
-Nate Solder had a really productive game, grading out as the top lineman for NYG this week. He allowed 1 pressure and that was it. For a team that has given NYG several pass rush issues in recent years, it was a solid day from the blind side protector. Mike Remmers, on the other hand, continued to struggle. He was flagged for 2 holding penalties and allowed a pressure. He also isn’t doing a good job of cutting off backside defenders in the running game.
-Albeit it was against one of the best defensive lines in football, the interior really struggled all afternoon. Kevin Zeitler allowed a pressure and was flagged for a hold, but he did get out in space on a couple of occasions to throw key blocks on separate big gains. Will Hernandez and Jon Halapio tied for the worst grades along the OL in this one. Hernandez allowed 2 pressures and a TFL while Halapio allowed 2 pressures. Their poor performance wasn’t felt as badly because of Jones’ mobility but the communication issues and lack of lateral adjustment is something teams like MIN and NE can eat up. They need to be better, plain and simple.
-The three-headed monster of B.J. Hill, Dexter Lawrence, and Dalvin Tomlinson dominated the point-of-attack for most of the afternoon. They were up against three interior backups, including former NYG 1st-round bust Ereck Flowers. They were the key reason why WAS running backs Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson combined for 2 yards per carry. Lawrence had 3 pressures, Tomlinson had 1 hurry and a half-sack, and Hill recorded 3 tackles. These guys were as stout as they’ve been all year.
-Olsen Pierre and R.J. McIntosh were on the field for some passing plays in place of Tomlinson and Hill, with Pierre being the more disruptive one. He had 2 pressures, but it was a quiet day for McIntosh.
-Markus Golden continues his hot play after a slow start to the season. He had a half-sack and 2 pressures. While he isn’t winning off the snap often, he is proving to be a tough guy for blockers to cling onto. The mix of leverage wins and hustle make him a tough guy hold off for more than a few seconds. His speed in space was noteworthy too.
-Oshane Ximines is making impact plays each week. I think he and Carter are going to blossom into something this defense can really use for years. Ximines recorded a half-sack along with a pressure and pass break up. Let’s keep this in mind: in the last 6 games Ximines has played in (including weeks 2 and 3 of preseason), he has 5 sacks. In only one of those contests, he went sack-less. The consistency he is showing is impressive.
-Tuzar Skipper recorded a half-sack and Carter had a pressure.
-With Tae Davis and Alec Ogletree out with injuries, Ryan Connelly got the start with the green dot on his helmet. A player who has been catching the eyes of the coaching staff from the get-go, Connelly had an impactful game. He had an interception and sack to go along with 5 tackles as a key cog to stuffing the Was running game. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL as he tried to move awkwardly in reaction to Deandre Baker coming downhill on a ball carrier who was headed towards Connelly’s lower body. That late adjustment caused the injury and he is out for the year.
-David Mayo led the Giants with 8 tackles. He had a solid presence between the tackles and on contact with ball carries. He didn’t miss any tackles, which is a major, yet overlooked, part of the position. His role will undoubtedly be increased if Ogletree and Davis remain out.
-A week after arguably the worst game of Janoris Jenkins’ career, he came right back and intercepted 2 passes and tipped another that led to the Connelly INT. Jenkins, for most of his career, has been a very up-and-down corner but that has as much to do with the nature of the position as it does him as a player. If this defense turns it around long term this season, Jenkins will be in the center of it. He is a playmaker.
-Quiet day for rookie Deandre Baker, in a good way. He wasn’t tested much and he provided solid role-playing run support.
-Nickel corner Grant Haley quietly had a bad game. What I mean by that is that the struggles he put on tape didn’t end up helping WAS score, thus they won’t be discussed much. He should have been beaten for two long touchdowns by Trey Quinn, the final pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. Had It not been for poor overthrows by Keenum, this game could have gone far differently. And Haley’s job would be far less secure.
-A week after I discussed Jabrill Peppers needing to step his game up, he walks out of this one with the defensive game ball. He had 6 tackles, an interception returned for a touchdown, and an impressive pass break up that should have been a touchdown for WAS had it not been for the late/strong hands of Peppers. I like the attitude he brings to the table and I can’t help but smile a little bit that he got into it with Landon Collins (who has been very average for WAS) after the game. I spoke about NYG needing a leader and a playmaker on defense and Peppers is the one guy who has the upside to be both.
-Antoine Bethea and Michael Thomas did a nice job on the back end preventing deep openings. Both Haskins and Keenum were forced to tuck the ball and scramble as a result of these two keeping it tight on the back end.
-K Aldrick Rosas: 1/1(Made 30)
-OT Nate Solder, S Jabrill Peppers, CB Janoris Jenkins
-OG Will Hernandez, RB Jon Hilliman, OT Mike Remmers
The Miami Dolphins are the unquestioned worst-team in football. However, the Redskins aren’t far behind. If it weren’t for their really solid defensive line, it would be up for discussion. They continue to be hit by the injury bug as bad as any team in the league and it doesn’t seem they have the culture to make up for any physical shortcomings. MIA and WAS play each other on October 13 if anyone is interested in watching what Minor League Football would look like.
There was a lot of media pressure for WAS to put Haskins into the lineup this past week. Even though he started on the bench, he got his playing time based on a coach’s decision and I can’t say it went well. He was 9/17 with three interceptions. I thought it was interesting that Gruden did not commit to Haskins as the starter from here on out, noting that the job had to be earned. Are there work ethic issues with Haskins? Lets wait and see.
Watch the WAS defensive line work and you can see why this NYG trio of Lawrence-Hill-Tomlinson could be a big thing here for the next few years. While I think the WAS trio is better across the board, this is proof that they can be disruptive enough against the pass and dominant against the run to force a lot of stress on the opposing offense.
It was good to see this team could still have a dominant win despite an overall poor offensive performance. 4 turnovers (2 by Jones) can be a tough thing to overcome but many thanks to WAS playing really bad football at this time. NYG walked away with this victory early. But don’t fool yourself into thinking this was a quality game. If NYG plays like this next week against MIN and a few days later against NE, they will be 2-4.
One more positive about Daniel Jones being under center for the upcoming match-up against MIN is Eli Manning won’t be under center. He was 3-6 with 5 TD / 15 INT and a 56.1 QBR against MIN over his career. By far the team that gave him the most trouble. Jones will have his work cut out for him in this one, another big test. MIN has the 6th-best defense in the league this year and they finished 4th in 2018.
The confidence of this defense has to be higher than its been in quite some time. In the last six quarters of football, they have allowed 6 points (zero touchdowns), they’re getting to the QB, and they are forcing turnovers. The MIN offense has been inconsistent but don’t forget the weapons they have in Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, and Dalvin Cook. Huge barometer for the Giants, hopefully with either Davis and/or Ogletree back at ILB.

Rheoscience, Dr. Reddy's Move Balaglitazone Into Phase III Trial
By Cormac Sheridan
BioWorld International Correspondent
Rheoscience A/S and its development partner Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., moved balaglitazone, a partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma, into a Phase III clinical trial in patients with Type II diabetes.
The 500-patient, six-month study is comparing the efficacy of two different doses (10 mg and 20 mg) of balaglitazone, a member of the thiazolidinedione class of insulin sensitizers, with a 45mg daily dose of Actos (pioglitazone), marketed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., of Osaka, Japan. The trial also includes a placebo arm. All patients recruited into the study will be on stable insulin therapy. The primary endpoint will be reduction of blood glucose levels, as measured by levels of glycated hemoglobin, and the study is powered to demonstrate non-inferiority of balaglitazone as compared with Actos.
The trial, in which the first patient has been dosed, began just days after another thiazolidinedione, Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate), marketed by London-based GlaxoSmithKline plc, survived an FDA advisory committee vote, called in the wake of a meta-analysis indicating it posed an increased risk of myocardial infarction.
Copenhagen, Denmark-based Rheoscience took on global development responsibility for balaglitazone through an agreement it entered with Hyderabad, India-based Dr. Reddy's in 2005. It holds commercialization rights to the compound in the European Union and China. The latter firm retains rights to other territories.
The company hopes to obtain data that would differentiate balaglitazone from Actos, which racked up around US$900 million in sales in its fiscal first quarter, ended June 30, and Avandia, which, along with its related combination therapies Avandamet and Avandaryl, took in US$692 million in the same period.
Balaglitazone's partial agonistic action could be the key, as it does not appear to activate expression of all of the genes that are affected by Actos and Avandia. "It has the same effect on glycemic control, but is has a lesser impact on some of the side effects associated with this class," Rheoscience CEO Philip Larsen told BioWorld International. Foremost among these are fluid retention, which can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and weight gain.
Phase II monotherapy studies indicate that it is "equi-efficacious to the maximum allowed dose of Actos," Larsen said. The Phase III program will comprise five to six studies involving different combination therapies, as well as a long-term safety study. The company has not yet finalized its filing strategy, Larsen said, since does not contemplate a new drug application until after 2009.
For the same reason, it is in no hurry to find a commercial partner for the product. "We'd really like to see what potential the drug has before we enter a deal," he said. It has high hopes for the product, however. "I would be a wimp if I said we would only get five percent of the market," he said.
Hayward, Calif.-based Metabolex, Inc., and New Brunswick, N.J.-based Johnson & Johnson, recently moved another PPAR gamma agonist, a non-thiazolidinedione called MBX-102 (also known as JNJ 39659100), into a Phase II/III clinical trial in type II diabetes.
Balaglitazone was previously the subject of a development agreement between Dr. Reddy's and another Danish firm, Ballerup-based Novo Nordisk A/S. However, the latter discontinued development in 2004, citing preclinical data suggesting it offered insufficient competitive advantage compared with existing therapies.
Rheoscience was spun out of the Center for Clinical and Basic Research A/S, a private research foundation based in Ballerup, in 2002. It has been funded to date by its owners, private investors Claus Christiansen and Bo Krøll.

Home / General Mills Says Demand Rises as Consumers Stockpile / No Cabinet Members Were Invited To Muscat’s Birthday Party In Girgenti Attended By Yorgen Fenech / Press Release Distribution South Africa / General Mills Says Demand Rises as Consumers Stockpile
General Mills Says Demand Rises as Consumers Stockpile
3/23/2020 11:28:00 pm General Mills Says Demand Rises as Consumers Stockpile, No Cabinet Members Were Invited To Muscat’s Birthday Party In Girgenti Attended By Yorgen Fenech, Press Release Distribution South Africa
soup and other foods are in high demand as consumers stock up to ride out the coronavirus pandemic. In the past two weeks, Americans have hoarded food as restaurants close their dining rooms and more are told to stay home from work and school. General Mills, which makes Cheerios cereal, Yoplait yoghurt and Progresso soup, on Wednesday said retailers in North America and Europe are purchasing more of its products and its factories are running at near capacity to meet the demand.
“It’s evolving so quickly. We don’t know the depth, and we don’t know the duration,” Chief Executive Jeff Harmening said in an interview. General Mills shares fared better than the broader market on Wednesday, falling 3.2%, compared with a roughly 5.2% drop for the S&P 500.
General Mills said it has adjusted its operations to make fewer varieties of some products so that its plants can run more efficiently, and it has changed the way it delivers goods to retailers to help them get on shelves faster.Mr. Harmening said that over the past week people have started stocking up on essentially all foods, not just staples.“Before that, it was mainly just soup Press Release Distribution Services For Business and flour,” Mr Harmening said. “I think we’ve all been surprised at the virus impact over the past week.”General Mills said it has kept up with demand so far. The company said it has contingency plans to keep its factories running if workers stay home as a result of school closures and social-distancing measures. The company also said that it has dropped some promotional plans for this spring because demand is so high already.Mr. Harmening said that even as people shift to eating almost exclusively at home, demand for General Mills’ products could ebb after an initial burst of stockpiling. The company said the surge in consumer interest could also find new fans for some brands that it has overhauled in recent years.

General Mills said it has adjusted its operations to make fewer varieties of some products so that its plants can run more efficiently, and it has changed the way it delivers goods to retailers to help them get on shelves faster.Mr. Harmening said that over the past week people have started stocking up on essentially all foods, not just staples.

Does Roc Nation Sports Care About The Well Being Of It’s Clients?
By: Sean Crose
Back in 2014, the New York Post wrote that Roc Nation Sports’ “lack of media access has given it an air of mystery.” Former featherweight Daniel “Twitch” Franco certainly finds Roc Nation Sports mysterious. After receiving a serious brain injury during a June bout against Jose Haro in Iowa, Franco, a Roc Nation fighter, was subsequently induced into a coma for two weeks. Incredibly, Franco survived and is expected to make a full recovery. Still, getting healthy isn’t cheap. Or easy.
Franco is still in need of a large amount of medical care. The twenty-five year old Californian has another surgery this Friday. And how will Franco and his family pay the hundreds upon thousands of dollars in medical costs? Well, a GoFundMe page has been set up on the fighter’s behalf. One might think Roc Nation Sports, an entity Franco was a part of and under whose banner Franco was so badly harmed, would rise to the occasion in some way. If Roc Nation couldn’t go so far as to pay all of Franco’s bills, one would at least expect it to promote the charity built around supporting the fighter.
According to Franco that has been far from the case. “Roc Nation has not even contacted (me) since the fight,” Franco informed me on Tuesday. “Someone that used to work for Roc Nation sent me a photo of him holding up my shirt with another Roc Nation fighter, but that is all.” In fact, Franco stated that Roc Nation expressed it’s displeasure when he called company out in public. “Dino Duva called a few weeks ago,” Franco claimed, “but it was only to tell my family to take our posts ‘calling out’ Roc Nation down off of social media. Since they haven’t called, we put them back up.” Indeed, Franco has been posting his displeasure throughout social media. And yet he claims he has still heard nothing more from the entity he was once a part of.
I reached out to Roc Nation Sports twice, leaving messages both yesterday and today. Those calls, however, have yet to be returned. Founded by superstar Jay Z (Shawn Carter) in 2013, Roc Nation has repped some top level fighters, such as Andre Ward, Miguel Cotto and Guillermo Rigondeaux. Franco has reached out to Jay Z via video, yet it’s unclear if one of the most famous men on earth is even aware of his plight. Franco and his family, however, will happily accept donations from fans to help pay his medical bills. Anyone who wishes to help may do so through the link below:

More than reality TV: Educating the world about beach safety
The factual Australian TV show Bondi Rescue performs a valuable educational role in teaching people around the world about the dangers of rip currents and the importance of swimming between the flags, a global survey of viewers by UNSW scientists indicates.
The popular series follows Waverley Council lifeguards at Bondi Beach in Sydney over the summer period as they perform about 5000 surf rescues and deal with other problems including shark scares, lost children, bluebottle stings, drunk beach-goers and thieves.
Since it was first broadcast in 2006, the award-winning program has been watched by millions of people worldwide, many of whom are poor swimmers.
"It is difficult to engage large numbers of the general public in any sort of formal beach safety campaign, and awareness of surf hazards remains poor," says UNSW Associate Professor Rob Brander.
"Many beachgoers still choose not to obey key safety messages, such as swim between the flags.
"The filming of Bondi Rescue on a famous Sydney beach provided us with a unique opportunity to find out whether a popular factual TV show could have a beneficial impact on people's behaviour and knowledge about the dangers of surf beaches," he says.
The survey was carried out by UNSW Science research student Nicky Warton under the supervision of Associate Professor Brander, who is a renowned expert on rip currents and beach safety in Australia.
Responses were received from people in 51 countries, with more than 60 per cent of those who filled in the survey living overseas.
"Many people were also in the at-risk group for drowning in the surf because they said they were poor swimmers or rarely go to the beach," says Associate Professor Brander, of the UNSW School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
"This factual TV program may provide the only beach safety education they get. Our results show it is an effective, large-scale educational tool. It has improved knowledge and behaviour and, in terms of its reach, dwarfs programs like signs, brochures and posters about rips and flags.
"However we also recommend it include more frequent dedicated information about beach safety and rip identification."
Warton also analysed the content of seasons one to eight of Bondi Rescue, and found the majority of rip rescues occurred on fine, sunny days with small waves.
"Males were rescued almost twice as often as females and more tourists - mostly from Asia and Europe - were rescued than Australians," she says.
The UNSW survey's key findings:
The survey was conducted online via the Bondi Rescue Facebook page and 1852 people filled it out.
37 per cent of respondents came from Australia, with 35 per cent from UK and Ireland, 14 per cent from Europe and 10 per cent from North America.
43 per cent said they did not know, or were not sure, what a rip current was before watching the show, but 94 per cent knew what it was after viewing the program
When shown a picture of a beach, 93 per cent chose the area between the flags as the safest place to swim
More than 80 per cent of viewers think Bondi Rescue significantly improved their knowledge and awareness of beach safety
17 per cent felt they had used skills or techniques learnt from the show to assist people in real life emergency situations, mainly by giving advice or using a flotation device
In 2015/2016, 130 coastal drownings occurred and more than 13000 rescues were performed on Australian beaches, according to Surf Life Saving Australia.
Rip currents are responsible for 19 deaths on average each year and about 90 per cent of the beach rescues made by lifeguards.

Browns notebook: Rookie linebacker endorses Pettine
Steve Doerschuk CantonRep.com sports writer @sdoerschukREP
Nate Orchard wants to see head coach stick around
Rookie outside linebacker Nate Orchard, whose recent play has been a bright spot, was asked to weigh in on Mike Pettine Monday.
“I hope he comes back next year and we can let this thing happen,” Orchard said. “Personally, I love coach Pettine. He’s been phenomenal since I’ve been here.”
It’s doubtful a rookie’s opinion carries much weight, even though Orchard was a second-round draft pick. His views, though, are a window into how players’ sensibilities are shaken when organizations make big changes.
If Pettine goes, so will Orchard’s position coach, Brian Fleury. Fleury and his wife, Natasha, have played a big role in helping Orchard and his wife, Maegan, make the transition from Utah to Ohio.
• Pettine said Orchard’s most impressive play Sunday was a third-down stop that forced a punt and gave the Browns one last chance to reverse a 17-13 deficit.
“They threw the screen out to (Pro Bowl tight end Travis) Kelce, and Nate just wrecked it,” Pettine said. “He recognized pre-snap that it was potentially coming. He ran right through a blocker and made a heck of a play.”
Defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil reacted as if the Browns had just won a playoff game.
MANZIEL’S FINAL AUDITION
Johnny Manziel takes a 2-6 record as a Browns starter into Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh.
His 40.6 passer rating at Kansas City Sunday is his second-worst in his starts, dating to a 27.3 against Cincinnati on Dec. 14, 2014.
Manziel blamed himself for a poor passing performance (13-of-32, 136 yards), saying it cost his team the game. He also set a Browns’ record for rushing yards by a quarterback, 108 (11 carries).
Pettine was less harsh on Manziel than Manziel was on himself.
“Yeah, he had his share of mistakes and missed some throws,” Pettine said. “If you were down on the field, those were not easy conditions. That was a pretty good crosswind.
“We had miscommunication on some routes. We had some mental errors. We missed some blocks up front.
“Johnny did a good job avoiding the rush. They had some good pass rushers, and we had guys get beat. He did a good job of turning a sack into either a scramble or at least a throwaway.
“Overall, I think it was a tough day for both teams to really get their pass game going, but it was a good learning experience for him.”
Kansas City’s Alex Smith went 15-of-22 for 125 yards.
SAUNDERS PAYS FOR ARREST
Three days after he was arrested on a charge of driving while impaired, defensive back DeAnte Saunders was cut from the Browns’ practice squad.
Outside linebacker Armonty Bryant, who was a passenger in a car driven by Saunders and faces possible charges of possessing a drug without a prescription, remains on the roster but was informed by the team that he will not play against Pittsburgh. His punishment also included being left behind for the trip to Kansas City.

CHINA STOCKS
INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH REPORT
Megvii Begins STAR Listing Process After Setbacks Overseas
The facial recognition giant was among Chinese companies blacklisted by Trump.
CapitalWatch StaffJan 14,2021,17:25
Facial recognition developer Megvii Technology had no choice but to turn to a listing at home after Washington’s hostility pressured investors to reconsider their Chinese tech portfolios.
As reported by the South China Morning Post, Megvii has launched its initial public offering process, which usually takes months, as it has yet to get government approval, on Shanghai’s high-tech STAR Market. Underwriting its IPO is CITIC Securities.
The company has been pursuing an IPO for over a year. In February 2020, it let its application expire on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong amid increased investor uncertainty caused by the rising Covid-19 outbreak and Megvii’s inclusion on U.S. President Donald Trump’s blacklist. The U.S. Entity List placed Megvii next to its rivals SenseTime and Yitu for their alleged roles in aiding Beijing in the mass surveillance of Muslim minorities in western China.
In Hong Kong, Megvii sought to raise between $500 and $1 billion. The size of its domestic listing has yet to be determined. In May 2019, it was valued at over $4 billion.
The STAR Market, China’s first Nasdaq-like exchange, which allowed unprofitable startups to go public, was opened in 2019 to lure its tech titans back home, and it has been successful at that. In July 2020, it witnessed the $6.6 billion debut of China’s largest chip foundry, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (HKEX: 00981; OTC: SMICY), after the company chose to delist from the New York Stock Exchange amid Trump’s tech war on China. Ant Group, Alibaba’s financial titan and operator of Alipay, was also scheduled to go public on STAR simultaneously with its Hong Kong offering before it got suspended.
Founded in 2011, Megvii is a world leader in facial recognition technology, known for its Face++ system. The company has been backed by Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA; HKEX: 9988), Lenovo Group (OTC: LNVGY), and Foxconn. In August 2019, after finding itself on Trump’s trade blacklist, it announced the establishment of a committee for privacy protection and guarding against the weaponization of AI in mass surveillance.
At the time, Megvii’s co-founder and chief executive, Yin Qi, said, as cited by Biometric Update, “Given the uncertainties in our industry, we strive to build rather than disrupt industries, to change how people work for the better, and to find solutions that respect people’s dignity and privacy.”
Qi also said, “These are real policies, not mere words. Still, we acknowledge that challenges remain and these are early days.”

December 1949 - Philippine Supreme Court Decisions/Resolutions
Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence
Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 1949 > December 1949 Decisions > G.R. No. L-1811 December 29, 1949 - GREGORIO BALVERAN, ET AL v. COURT OF APPEALS
085 Phil 199:
[G.R. No. L-1811. December 29, 1949.]
GREGORIO BALVERAN and MERCEDES CABANA, Petitioners, v. THE COURT OF APPEALS, TEOFILA ZABALLERO VDA. DE UNSON ET AL., Respondents.
Fortunato N. Suarez, for Petitioners.
De Mesa & De Mesa, Federico A. Daleon, Ramon M. Ingente, Artemio N. Villanueva and Edmundo T. Zepeda for Respondents.
1. MOOT OR MERE ACADEMIC QUESTION; DECISION UNNECESSARY. — It is unnecessary to pass upon the contention of the petitioners because the Period covered by the Rental Law expired on October 25, 1949 (Estrada v. Caseda, G. R. No. L-1560, decided on October 25, 1949), 1 and the same, therefore, is now of no avail to the petitioners.
PARAS, J.:
On June 26, 1945, the herein respondents, Teofila Zaballero Vda. de Unson and Amando Zaballero, instituted in the justice of the peace court of Lucena, Tayabas, an action to eject the herein petitioners, Gregorio Balveran and Mercedes Cabana, from the western portion of a house situated in the corner of Zamora and Gardiner Streets, on the ground that the respondents needed the same to establish a store therein. The petitioners set up the defense that they are lessees of the premises paying a monthly rental of P75, and that the true purpose of the action is to enable the respondents to lease the property to a Chinaman at a higher rental. After trial, the justice of the peace court rendered judgment in favor of the respondents and against the petitioners. The latter appealed to the Court of First Instance of Tayabas which, after trial, rendered judgment also in favor of the respondents ordering the petitioners to vacate the premises in question, to pay a monthly rental of P75 from May 15,1945, and the sum of P100 as attorney’s fees, plus the costs. The petitioners again appealed to the Court of Appeals which in turn affirmed the decision of the Court of First Instance of Tayabas except as to the portion requiring the petitioners to pay attorney’s fees.
The petitioners have elevated the case to this Court on appeal by certiorari, contending that the use of the premises in question intended by the respondents (to open a store) is not a ground for ejectment contemplated by the Rental Law, Commonwealth Act No. 689, as amended by Republic Act No. 66, and that although the petitioners themselves are using said premises both as a dwelling and as a store (their lease is nonetheless protected by section 1 of Commonwealth Act No. 689, as amended by Republic Act No. 66, which provides that "Building used both as dwelling of the lessee and also as place of business of the latter for home industries intended for the support of the family shall be deemed included in the provisions of this Act." It is unnecessary to pass upon the contention of the petitioners because the period covered by the Rental Law expired on October 15, 1949 (Estrada v. Caseda, G. R. No. L-1560, decided on October 25, 1949), and the same, therefore, is now of no avail to the petitioners.
Wherefore, the decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed, and it is so ordered with costs against the petitioners.

Next-baby showers
Getting creative with baby two, three or four
by Laura Amann
Know a mom (or dad) expecting another child? Is it appropriate to throw a shower? If so, what's the protocol?
5 great gifts for second or third showers
If your new mom doesn't need a new stroller or car seat, consider chipping in and getting her something unique and memorable.
Birthdays. Sabrina Hill and Joni Russell, authors of The Everything Baby Shower Book suggest buying birthday cards for birthdays 1 through 21. Give one card to each guest and have them write an age-appropriate message to the baby, child, teenager or new adult. Collect and seal in an attractive box and present them to the new parents. These cards can be given each year on the respective birthdays, a lovely and loving way to be gifted anew each year.
Photography session. Professional baby portraits are priceless treasures. No one else can capture those little toes or triangle mouths quite so well. When Bethany Priester of Hinsdale hosted a baby shower for her good friend, the women all contributed toward a gift card for a photo session. "She was able to get some amazing photos," Priester says. "She chose to take some pre-baby, beautiful belly pictures and then went back and got baby and family pictures later. Since this wasn't her first baby, she knew the value of those photos and how magical a newborn's photos are."
Stock the nursery. Have guests bring necessities for a newborn-plenty of diapers, onesies, wipes, formula and burp clothes. Forget the rubber ducky that tests the bath temperature; just ask guests to bring along items that new parents go through quickly. They'll be particularly grateful when they run out of something in the middle of the night.
Cleaning service. Chip in and hire a cleaning service for a couple of visits. Besides home-cooked meals, a clean house is one of the best treats for any new parent.
Lavish gift. Find something the mom normally wouldn't buy for herself, such as a double jogging stroller or a double bike trailer. Or find something the family would enjoy, like a pool, museum or zoo membership.
Lavish showers are generally reserved for first babies, a way to "shower" soon-to-be first-timers with the necessities of new parenting: high chair, car seat, crib, bedding, changing pads, diaper bags, layette clothes and on and on and on. Or if there's a long gap between babies, a second shower can be a godsend.
But for parents who are already well equipped, instead of a shower, think more in terms of "sprinkle." Second or third or even fourth babies aren't any less welcome, but parents generally already have most of the major baby gear. By throwing some originality into the mix, you can host a party for a second- or third-time mom that will sprinkle her with something she'll really use and enjoy.
'Helping hands' shower
Sabrina Hill and Joni Russell, authors ofThe Everything Baby Shower Book (Adams Media, 2008), suggest throwing a shower where friends get together to help the mom cope with the impending complications of multiple offspring. Plan out a calendar and fill in days with babysitting services, grocery store runs, carpool duty, laundry, even garden weeding and flower planting.
"We sometimes call it a 'shower shower,' meaning we're going to give mom a chance to get a shower every day," says Hill.
Such showers work well for moms without family nearby. You're giving her breaks without her having to ask. Find someone super-organized who can coordinate schedules and then fill out the calendar: "June 3: Johnny has playdate at Sue's from 10 a.m.-1 p.m." or "Round-trip ride to preschool every Monday." Hill and Russell have a template on their website, everydayeventplanner.com.
Scrapbook shower
If you have a friend who loves to scrapbook, consider a baby book shower. Scrapbooking time falls off rapidly for the first few months of a child's life, and never more so than with a third or fourth child. Host a party where everyone creates a scrapbook album. Andrea Wolbers of Archiver's in Downers Grove holds many of these showers in her store.
She reports that two themes are particularly popular. One is a traditional baby book. "Everyone does a different page-baby's first smile, baby's first tooth, baby's first food and so on," she says. At the end, you have a beautifully coordinated template and all the mother has to do is fill in the details.
Another popular concept is to have each party guest write advice for the mother-to-be. "Everyone decorates their own page with advice and a photo of themselves and the mom then has a beautiful and very personal book," Wolbers says.
Freezer shower
Bringing food to new mothers is a time-honored tradition. But that usually lasts two or three weeks-about the time most parents are at their most sleep-deprived, as babies hit their fussiest stage and older kids demand their share of attention. A "freezer shower" may be the answer. Ask everyone to whip up a casserole or soup or some type of dish that freezes well. (Pre-frozen foods and restaurant gift cards are good options as well.) Include a card with the name of the dish and instructions for reheating.
Nursery makeover
The birth of a subsequent child may mean major redecorating. Hill and Russell recommend what they call an "Extreme Nursery Makeover." A nursery shower brings together friends (dads too!) to help set up the new baby's room. If the nursery needs to be painted, everyone can pitch in. If a crib or changing table needs to be assembled, bring along the Allen wrenches. Other tasks: wash and fold the clothes, line dresser drawers, assemble the stroller and set up the car seat. This is a great way to involve the older siblings and it's especially helpful for moms on bedrest. Order bagels and coffee or pizza and pop. Encourage guests to bring gifts that complement the nursery theme or upgrade the baby's room.
Book shower
Give a child the gift of reading. Laura Rehling of Elmhurst threw a book shower for her good friend who was an avid reader and pregnant with her third child.
"I asked everyone to bring a children's book to the shower," she says. "It could be their favorite book from childhood or one that they enjoyed reading to their children or grandchildren. Or it could be the latest beautiful picture book at the store."
The only stipulation was that the books should have meaning for the giver, accompanied by cards that expounded on why the book was chosen. The results can be quite moving, Rehling says. Choices needn't be limited to picture books. Chapter book classics like Mr. Popper's Penguins or Charlotte's Web can also be encouraged.
Donation shower
All babies are cause for celebration, but the arrival of a second or third baby provides a poignant reminder of how lucky we are. To celebrate the baby without inundating the parents, consider a donation shower. When Amy Engstrom Clugg of Elmhurst adopted her second child from Russia, they invited guests to bring donations for the children left behind in the orphanage.
"These were children who may never know the love and security of their own family," Clugg explains. "My pediatrician donated loads of important things like Neosporin. My mother-in-law sewed mountains of flannel baby blankets and my parents donated a suitcase full of Beanie Babies so each child could have something warm of their own to hug.
"We had or could buy whatever was needed for both of our kids, but overseas, donations were desperately needed," she says. "In addition, we wanted Russians to know how much people in the USA welcome children like ours, children who join their families through adoption."
Find a charity close to the mom-to-be's heart and consider collecting donations for babies in need.

RNA Leads the Way for a COVID-19 Vaccine
April 16, 2020 | By Chimeron Bio | 2 Minute Read
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has impacted us all severely. As confirmed cases and deaths continue to rise worldwide, the scientific community is working hard to stop the spread now and reemergence in the future. Leading the way is a next generation vaccine based on synthetic RNA biology. Unlike traditional vaccines which use recombinant viral proteins or inactivated viral particles to activate the immune system, RNA vaccines deliver the viral genetic material to the body for it to make and then present these “home-grown” viral antigens to the immune system to trigger antibody development. If successful, such an approach will not only be effective, but will also validate a customizable option, enabling the speedy delivery of new vaccines should another novel pandemic or epidemic arise.
We at Chimeron Bio have joined the fight to develop a COVID-19 vaccine using our novel RNA-based ChaESAR™ platform. Our technology not only harbors the benefits of leading RNA vaccines, but also goes beyond. First, Chimeron’s ChaESAR™ technology harnesses the power of self-amplifying RNA (saRNA)- the ability to make multiple copies from a single piece of RNA and have a sustained response. This translates to achieving the desired efficacy with a much lower dose, and therefore, a single batch of a low-dose ChaESARTM formulation could vaccinate many more people worldwide.
A second major advantage is embedded in the making of our ChaESAR™ particles. While other mRNA and saRNA technologies rely on in-vitro transcription of the target message followed by lipid coating to encase the synthetic RNA, resulting in a complex manufacturing process, ChaESAR™ particles self-assemble. Synthesis of ChaESARTM particles bypass in-vitro transcription enabling fast, scalable, and low-cost development. Third, the ChaESAR™ particle can be modified to target and deliver the viral genetic material to the immune cells of interest. Finally, the ChaESAR™ particle can deliver multiple antigens simultaneously and therefore, can easily switch from a single-target vaccine to a broad-spectrum design. The multiple antigen approach allows the development of vaccines that could be deployed to treat versions of the virus that arise over time in the future. Our vaccine development is under way and by virtue of our superior science and technology properties, we are hopeful our vaccine will make a broad impact globally.
RNA technology is indeed a promising approach for the rapid development of safe and effective vaccine against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. At Chimeron Bio, we are committed to using our RNA technology to develop treatments that are effective and affordable worldwide. Find out more about us at www.chimeron.com
