Heart — Ann and Nancy Wilson — return to the road in 2019 for the first time in three years with their massive "Love Alive" cross-country summer tour. Produced by Live Nation, the expansive 39-city outing by the trend-setting, multiple-platinum Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends lands at Dos Equis Pavilion Friday, Aug. 23. Multi-platinum and multi-Grammy-nominated recording artist Elle King opens. "It's an incredible feeling and a great compliment to see our loyal fans and the new generation of Heart fans at the shows," Nancy tells us. "It speaks to the songs as well as giving a bigger sense of history to the younger ones. It's authentic live music with no added prerecorded or auto tuned vocals or tracks blended in. No bells or whistles, smoke or mirrors. I think in many ways that's a whole new thing for young kids who love music and they know the difference and appreciate it. It's completely real."

Q: excel vba macro copy multiple files from folder to folder I've created this macro in excel that enables a user to copy multiple files from one folder to another. The macros works, it does what it's supposed to do. I just want to add some additional functions to it and I'm not able to make it work. These are the few things that I want to add: 1-check if a file already exists in the destination folder and ask if the user wants to overwrite yes/no. If yes overwrite, If no skip to the next file to be copied. 2-If a file(s) is missing in the source folder the ErrHandler copies the name(s) of the missing file(s) from column A to the M column. The way I did this it works, but it's not how I want it to work. What I want is, if the file name in cell A3, A7, A10 are missing. Those names should be copied to M1, M2, M3 and so on. Instead of copying them to M3, M7, M10 I'm also having 2 other problems: 1-The ErrHandler messagebox it appears more than it should. Once the copy is completed it still shows it 2 more times. 2-The macro it rewrites how the file name is written. For example if the original file name is written in lower case and in a cell I write it in upper case. Once the file is copied it will be written in upper case. I want to keep the original name. Dim r As Long Dim SourcePath As String Dim dstPath As String Dim myFile As String SourcePath = Range("F1") dstPath = Range("F3") On Error GoTo ErrHandler For r = 1 To 3000 myFile = Range("A" & r) FileCopy SourcePath & "\" & myFile, dstPath & "\" & myFile If Range("A" & r) = "" Then Exit For End If Next r MsgBox "The file(s) can found in: " & vbNewLine & dstPath, , "COPY COMPLETED" ErrHandler: MsgBox "Copy error: " & SourcePath & "\" & myFile & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ "File could not be found in the source folder", , "MISSING FILE(S)" Range("A" & r).Copy Range("M" & r) Resume Next End Sub A: For the 1st issue, you just need to add an Exit Sub before the ErrHandler: label. For the second issue, you could try something like: myFile = dir(SourcePath & "\" & Range("A" & r)) FileCopy SourcePath & "\" & myFile, dstPath & "\" & myFile This way myFile will contain the original source case.

> Parents of fallen lone soldier make aliyah Parents of fallen lone soldier make aliyah Alon and Dalia Carmeli came to Israel after son died in battle, and now their aliyah is official; 'I said I wouldn't leave my child again.' כ"ז בטבת תשע"ו 08:44 08.01.16 Aliya Nissim Sean Carmeli Alon Carmeli Dalia Carmeli Ex-MK Yoni Chetboun with father of Sean Carmeli Public Relations Alon and Dalia Carmeli, the parents of first sergeant Nissim Sean Carmeli who fell in battle in Gaza during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, have decided to follow in their son's footsteps and make aliyah from South Padre Island, Texas. Carmeli was a lone soldier, meaning he had no family in Israel, and in a moving show of unity, thousands attended his funeral in Haifa in July 2014. Officials of the Maccabi Haifa soccer team called on the team's fans to pay their last respects to Carmeli "so that his funeral will not be empty," and Israeli media estimated that anywhere from 12,000 to as many as 20,000 people heeded the call and attended the funeral. Alon Carmeli told Channel 10 that the moving outpouring of support at the funeral touched the family. "That really influenced us. We understood how much it matters to people, and how they felt close to him and to other soldiers who were killed." The moment that the phone rang in Texas informing the parents of their tragic loss, Alon and Dalia packed their bags and came to Israel - and they haven't left since. "I said I wouldn't leave my child again," explained the bereaved mother. "Even if he isn't here he is present always." The Carmelis left their comfortable lives in Texas, which they had established over 20 years ago when they moved to the US from Israel. "Sean relinquished his life for the state," said Or, Sean's sister. "I don't feel like I could live anywhere else." The bereaved parents reportedly decided to make aliyah for another reason as well, so that they could occasionally visit the last place where Sean was - on the border with Gaza. "It took me time to understand that a huge amount of people truly came to Sean's funeral," said Dalia. Her husband added, "we understood that with all the pain, we aren't alone. That makes us feel that here is home."

Art Meets Water Flow short description FLOW (For Love of Water): Empowering Communities and Leaders to Protect the Great Lakes FLOW: For Love of Water [responsive-menu] Tag: nevada The Public Trust Doctrine and the Implications of the Walker Lake Litigation Posted on June 19, 2018 by FLOW Editor - Blog Posts, Public Trust Tuesday FLOW's organizing principle is the public trust doctrine. What sounds like an exotic concept is quite simple. This centuries-old principle of common law holds that there are some resources, like water and submerged lands, that by their nature cannot be privately owned. Rather, this commons – including the Great Lakes — belongs to the public. And governments, like the State of Michigan, have a responsibility to protect public uses of these resources. We explicitly address public trust concerns on what we're calling Public Trust Tuesday. An upcoming decision by the Supreme Court of Nevada may have major implications on the public trust doctrine's ability to protect the public's water resources. The Walker River Basin is over 4,000 square miles and stretches from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to its terminus, Walker Lake.[1] Walker Lake is located in Mineral County, Nevada and is roughly thirteen miles long and over five miles wide.[2] The lake is primarily fed by the Walker River, which flows sixty-two miles from California to its mouth on Walker Lake. Unfortunately, Walker Lake has seen a massive decrease in water levels since the state of Nevada started allocating water rights from the Walker River to farmers and ranchers upstream. These water diversions have been so impactful that they have caused the Walker River to run dry before reaching the lake for an almost continuous ten-year period.[3] Reminiscent of Russia's massive draining of the Aral Sea, since irrigation began on the Walker River, the lake has lost approximately 171 vertical feet of water and is now one third the size it once was.[4] Not surprisingly, the dramatic decrease in water levels to Walker Lake has also led to significant water quality issues. The lake's impaired water quality threatens native fish species as well as several bird species that use the lake as a resting stop along their migratory journeys.[5] The diminished water quality of the lake has also affected recreation activities such as boating, swimming, and of course fishing. To help restore Walker Lake, Mineral County has intervened in on-going litigation to challenge previous allocated water rights of farmers and ranchers from the Walker River. This litigation revolves around a prior appropriation battle that has been on-going since 1924. A previous 1909 court case created the "Rickey decree," which allocated water rights from the Walker River to over 150 different users.[6] In 1924, the Walker River Paiute Tribe and the United States sued the Walker River Irrigation District ("WRID") to win recognition of the Tribe's right to additional water rights from the Walker River.[7] Mineral County has now intervened to win recognition of the rights of its citizens under a legal theory known as the public trust doctrine. The public trust doctrine is a common law doctrine that dates back to Roman law. The public trust doctrine provides that sovereign states hold "all of [their] navigable waterways and the lands lying beneath them 'as trustee of a public trust for the benefit of the people.' "[8] This principle has been affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States for over a century, and has been applied not only to navigable waters, but also to tributaries and ground water aquifers that feed navigable waters.[9] Even though the public trust doctrine has been firmly established in the United States, how the public trust doctrine interacts with the Western United States prior appropriation system of water rights is still being navigated. Under the prior appropriation system, which is commonly found in the arid Western United States, water rights are generally allocated based on a "first come, first serve" system. In neighboring California which also recognizes prior appropriation and riparian law, the Supreme Court of California held in the seminal 1983 Mono Lake case that the public trust doctrine creates an affirmative duty for the state to take the public trust into account when planning or allocating water resources, and to protect public trust uses (such as swimming, boating, and fishing) whenever feasible."[10] The Supreme Court of California further went on to hold that the prior allocated water rights out of Mono Lake are still subject to the public trust doctrine, and as such must comply with the public trust duties of the state. The question of how the public trust interacts with previously appropriated water rights is still unanswered by the courts in Nevada. Nonetheless, the public trust in water resources is generally recognized as paramount to private use of water. A linchpin of the Supreme Court of California's decision to protect Mono Lake from excessive upstream water diversions was the irrevocable nature of the public trust doctrine and the duties of the state as trustee of Mono Lake. The discovered harm to public trust waters and dependent water resources and uses substantiated the Court's authority to limit previously appropriated water rights to protect the public trust. Mineral County's challenge to previously allocated water rights from the Walker River is therefore dependent whether the Supreme Court of Nevada's will follow the Supreme Court of California and rule that the public trust doctrine is paramount to prior allocated water rights in Nevada. If the Supreme Court of Nevada does indeed follow its neighbor to the west, the state of Nevada must fulfill a duty to continually supervise the taking and use of appropriated water rights. Nevada would not be confined to prior allocated water rights, but rather would evaluate these previously allocated water rights to ensure that such rights do not negatively affect the public's interest in the water resources of Nevada. It is a hard task to balance the needs of farmers and ranchers with the public's interest in restoring Walker Lake. However, Nevada must resolve this complex question of how to best manage these perpetual competing interests in its freshwater resources for future water security. To ensure the long-term sustainability and future of Nevada's finite fresh water resources, the Supreme Court of Nevada should conclude that the state has an affirmative duty to consider the impacts on public trust resources for both future allocations and maintenance of previously allocated water rights. This conclusion would allow Nevada to restore Walker Lake and more importantly guarantee that the state could effectively manage other public trust resources, so that all citizens of Nevada may always enjoy them. Additionally, a decision from the Supreme Court of Nevada that establishes the public trust doctrine as paramount over prior allocated water rights would likely affect how other courts view future challenges to the public trust doctrine across the West and throughout the United States. In conclusion, even though the litigation surrounding the devastated Walker Lake is binding only in the state of Nevada, the decisions made in this case surrounding the public trust doctrine have the potential to ripple across the nation. The public trust doctrine allows citizens to hold governments accountable for their decisions concerning our public resources. It is a paramount right that is inalienable and perpetual in nature. The Supreme Court of Nevada must now come to a just conclusion and strengthen our ability as citizens to protect the water and natural resource we so deeply depend on and care about.

Tags: diversions, FLOW, For Love of Water, nevada, Public Trust Doctrine, Public Trust Tuesday, public water, Walker Lake, Walker River, water rights Water and Nevada Posted on May 12, 2018 by FLOW Editor - Blog Posts When you think of Nevada (and that's ne-va-da, not ne-vah-duh), I bet a clear picture forms in your mind: Las Vegas and its neon lights, slot machines, Elvis, quick divorces and UFO sightings (among other things). Those are all part of it, yes. But did you know Nevada is an outdoor-lover's paradise? My husband and I moved there in 2014, for this reason. We get about 350 days of sunshine a year. There are mountains, valleys, canyons, hot springs and old-growth forests to hike, bike, camp and explore, year-round, and much of it is pristine due to federal land management, which prevents development. In the summer, it's warm during the day but cools down at night. Winters are full of skiing and snowboarding. The sunsets are always out of this world. Notice how I didn't mention anything that had to do with water? Water is not the same here. Nevada is an alpine desert, and we get the good and bad that comes with it. Water is scarce, both on the ground and coming from the skies. In Reno, where I live, I can count on two hands how many days it rained last year. Summer is hot and dry. I've adjusted to this climate without even realizing it; I always carry lotion and chapstick for dry skin, my yard only has native, low water plants and I stick to my designated water use days religiously. And it's not like we don't have water at all – there's the Truckee River to fish, kayak and float, and Lake Tahoe is only 40 minutes south. Tahoe is a saving grace for sure; a true oasis in the desert and it's been a vacation spot of Californians for generations. But over the years the lake has become increasingly inaccessible (and less fun) due to overcrowding and overdevelopment. Tahoe's water is also pure snowmelt, and combined with the depth means the lake never warms over 50 degrees, making it un-swimable for babies like myself. Skiing in Nevada (after a particularly good storm) with Lake Tahoe in the background. Northern Nevada, like much of California, is dependent on snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for our water. Nevada has been experiencing different stages of drought for a while now, thanks to climate change. Some parts of the state are worse than others, and it always seems like some not-too-far-away city is under the threat of actually running out of water if there's no rainfall. The storm predictions always start in the fall, and we all hope for storms with lots of snow for a good ski and snowboard season, but also to create a good snowpack that will melt and fill our reservoirs. The drought the past few years has been rough. But even our recent "Miracle March" wasn't enough to erase the snow drought from last season, which hadn't erased it from the year before… and so on. This seems to be the new normal. Storms bring precipitation, but we're always playing catch-up from the last storm or two that didn't bring enough. At least Reno is more fortunate than most of Nevada; we have more water resources to pull from and our proximity to the mountains and higher elevation give us a rain and snowfall advantage when compared with a city like Las Vegas. Our reservoirs are currently full and the outlook for this drought year is optimistic. That's why Michigan is so unique. Water is everywhere. It's part of the culture, and people are connected to it. We all have a water here, whether it's the Traverse Bay, the Boardman River, Lake Michigan, or for me, Birch Lake- we feel a connection to some body of water for one reason or another. It took moving away and living in a dry climate for me to truly appreciate how lucky this region is to have such an abundant resource, and how intertwined it is with our lives. And don't get me wrong; I love living in Nevada. There are too many beautiful, serene places to count, and I love the culture. But no matter where I live, I will always miss the waterways of Michigan. A day on Lake Tahoe is never wasted, but a part of me will always wish that when I reach my hand over the side of the boat into the cool depths, I were instead feeling the warm waters of Michigan.

Hamilton, the hip-hop musical about one of our most fascinating Founding Fathers, has garnered a huge number of devoted fans. This is mainly due to the original cast album. If you can't see the show (and most of us can't, even many who live in the New York City area) you can listen to the album. It's as close as you'll get to experiencing the show because, with the exception of one scene, the entire show is in song. I'm a Project REUTSway Winner Two Years in a Row! In November 2013 I participated in Project REUTSway, a short story contest held for the first time by REUTS Publications. Two out of my three submitted stories were chosen for the anthology, Fairly Twisted Tales for a Horribly Ever After, which was published in October 2014. The first version of contest had participants twist a well-known fairy tale with some kind of horror element: vampires, zombies, demons, werewolves/shapeshifters. This year, instead of fairy tales, the contest theme was world mythology. Each week a different culture was featured: Egyptian, Celtic, Asian, and Eastern European. Each challenge had a twist.

Willie Sutton was quoted as having said the above (he denied coining the phrase) in response to the question, "Why do you rob banks?" At the time, it was an obvious choice; in a pre-networked world, value was primarily transmitted by moving physical objects around the world, whether they were bars of precious metals, mineral crystals, or slips of paper. A non-traditional account withdrawal, then, relied on transporting physical objects from point A (a location controlled by the bank) to point B (a location controlled by the attacker). These days, robbing a bank doesn't require moving objects about; while it's not true (and never was) that someone can whistle into a pay phone and start WWIII, there are certainly sophisticated attackers capable of stealing money in transit, either from financial institutions themselves, or from merchants, payment processors, or Nigerian princes. Banks know this—and while banks themselves certainly have major digital security breaches from time to time, overall, their security has improved. Banks are not, however, the only place in which money changes (virtual) hands. Non-banks have to follow standards like PCI-DSS to begin to secure the fiat currency <-> goods gateway, whatever type of goods they may be selling; whether it's the new Taylor Swift single or a two-handed claymore, PCI-DSS adherence ensures that the most basic security precautions are being followed (at least with respect to payment card information). What happens when you acquire a digital two-handed claymore, however? (For now, let's say you acquired it by completing an Epic Quest and obtaining it from the Azgoths of Kria.) It's not quite the same, because the sword isn't a thing you keep in your house. Instead, it's kept on a server, which is owned by a games company, and you get to use the sword in exchange for your fees: it's Sword as a Service (SaaS). SaaS is a well-understood model, encompassing much of the online gaming space. The security for these types of games is designed to protect not the sword itself, nor any objects in and of themselves, but the service as a whole; it prevents attackers from compromising the game, makes sure legitimate players can connect, and generally defends the same objectives as security for the other SaaS. That seems appropriate; if I lose my Sword of Improbable Size and Majesty (SoISaM), the SaaS provider could refund my access fees, or give me another SoISaM, or some combination of the two. The risk profile isn't exactly "no blood, no foul," but the potential loss from a breach is limited. The SoISaM, and other valuable objects in the SaaS, only have value as a function of time spent playing the game. The situation changes, however, once you introduce item purchases—or indeed, any micro-payments—into the game. Now my SoISaM has a value, be it $1, $10, or $9000, and losing it has a direct, easily calculable, financial cost (even if I get it back). The game has now become a repository of objects with significant financial value—and it turns out that we have a name for those: banks. Charles Stross wrote about combined financial industry and video game crime in his 2007 novel "Halting State," and he has noted that his two novels in that series have come true in part. We have already seen large-scale crime—with significant financial consequences—in video games, such as the 1 trillion ISK (approximately US$55,416, according to historical exchange rates) stolen in an historic Ponzi scheme in EVE Online. That's just dealing with the theft of in-game assets (like the SoISaM), however; what about other avenues for collecting money? In the past couple of years, a few different companies have been experimenting with "skills-based wagering," or allowing players to bet money on their own in-game performance; for instance, Capcom allowed these "money matches" as a launch feature for Super Street Fighter 4 (SSF4). There are even start-ups offering to integrate these features into more applications; one such company, Skillz, has received $8 million dollars in the past three months, and $16.3 million overall, in venture funding. As these types of games become more common, and the stakes grow higher (SSF4 allows a maximum $1,000 per-match bet), it will become common to use external means to influence the outcome of the game—whether that's DDoSing an opponent, as has happened repeatedly in the Starcraft community, or even physically attacking an opponent. Online gambling—another form of gaming—is already a reality in other parts of the world, with major providers like Paddy Power serving customers throughout the world. While within the United States, only two states (Nevada and New Jersey) allow real-money gambling on games of chance over the Internet, that is likely to change soon; the World Trade Organization has authorized trade retaliation against the United States for prohibiting Internet gambling. Here's the issue: even though these games are now handling bank-like money, they don't have bank-like security measures. Most games are secured on the basis of securing fun, not securing billions of dollars of money flow. In general, we secure games as though they're somehow separate from "the real world." This needs to change. At Leviathan, we think that the recent crackdown on Bitcoin as a money laundering service means that not-exactly-money transactions, such as in-game currencies with exchange rates with "traditional" forms of money, will be the next point of heightened scrutiny. Whether that means requiring USA PATRIOT account-holder verification, including Know Your Customer and Senior Foreign Political Figure checks, for every game with in-game currency, or even requiring games companies to register with New York State before they sell games with micro-payments, will remain to be seen—but it doesn't have to be this way. We think that if games demonstrate real security measures, now, instead of waiting for regulation (or a disastrous security breach destroying hundreds of millions of dollars of currency-like objects), it will allow innovation to continue in the gaming space, and allow companies of all sizes to create games—from small indie studios, to repeat players, to AAA studios and other big players. While PCI-DSS is often poorly regarded in the security community, this form of industry self-regulation, when used as a baseline, has made it much safer to spend money online; it would be a significant achievement if the gaming community could foster, define, implement, and monitor an equivalently proscriptive across-the-board base level of security. I'd be remiss if, at this point, I didn't point out that Leviathan has been working in these areas for years. Our employees have secured financial institutions, power plants, video game consoles, nature preserves, online games, novel security hardware, and some of the hardware that powers the core of the Internet. We're also gamers; we have a Senior Security Consultant with a degree from DigiPen, an Ingress Level 11 player, and gamers of all stripes (including some who were playing multiplayer online games when 9600 baud was "high-speed" Internet) in our ranks. We love to help game companies—or indeed, anyone—secure the work they value most, and we've been particularly involved in helping non-traditional targets, such as law firms and games companies, design their long-term defenses as they meet their new challenges. Sound like something you need? Give us a call.

San and Khoi claim benefits from rooibos 19 November 2019 | Opinion Rachel Wynberg. Photo Yann Macherez, Wikimedia. Read time 10 min. The R300-million local rooibos enterprise remains in the hands of about 300 white commercial farmers who cultivate 93% of the planted area. Transformation in the rooibos sector has been slow. The genocide of the indigenous San people and the virtual enslavement of the Khoi people in rooibos-growing landscapes of the Cape centuries ago, coupled with a government-controlled monopoly during the apartheid years, has led to a highly skewed and fractured industry. Today, this R300-million local enterprise remains in the hands of about 300 white commercial farmers who cultivate 93% of the planted area. About 200 small-scale coloured farmers – largely confined to the dryer, more marginal parts of the winter rainfall fynbos region – produce only 2% of all rooibos tea. A benefit-sharing agreement announced on 1 November 2019 by the minister of environmental affairs – between the rooibos industry and representatives of San and Khoi organisations – could signal the beginning of a change. More than R10-million a year – depending on weather, volumes and the price of rooibos – is likely to be distributed to trusts set up by San and Khoi organisations. "Recorded history is usually what dominant cultures leave behind them as they relegate the dominated to the shadowy status of 'people without history'." If implemented judiciously and strategically, this could well change the face of rooibos in South Africa. Since 2010, San and Khoi organisations have demanded that the 100-year-old rooibos industry recognise the role that their traditional knowledge played in its development. A 2014 government-sponsored report concluded that there was "no evidence to dispute this claim" and required those involved in the rooibos sector to engage with San and Khoi people to negotiate a benefit-sharing agreement as required by "access and benefit-sharing" provisions of the Biodiversity Act. These stem from the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity and its Nagoya Protocol. The industry's initial position was that there was no convincing evidence of San and Khoi traditional knowledge of rooibos tea, and that it would not be open to entering into a benefit-sharing agreement. It also dismissed the government report as lacking credibility, and commissioned its own research. This research indicated a "record of absence" of rooibos uses in precolonial and early colonial times. Such insights are, however, not necessarily conclusive. San and Khoi people were part of an oral culture and the absence of a historical record does not convincingly prove anything. As historian Nigel Penn observes, "Recorded history is usually what dominant cultures leave behind them as they relegate the dominated to the shadowy status of 'people without history'." Leaving aside questions of "who was first", it is indisputable that the rooibos industry drew from traditional use and knowledge, although it likely evolved as a hybrid of different knowledge systems. Benefit-sharing agreement Driven by concerns that they would not receive a licence to operate if they did not have a benefit-sharing agreement in place, the industry entered into a series of protracted negotiations, facilitated by the department of environmental affairs. In March 2019, a benefit-sharing agreement was finally reached between the rooibos industry, represented by the South African Rooibos Council, and traditional knowledge holders, represented by the South African San Council and the National KhoiSan Council. Non-monetary benefits will also be "explored" and could include the creation of employment opportunities, bursaries, development schemes, mentoring and the facilitation of livelihoods. At the agreement's core is an annual traditional knowledge levy of 1.5% of the price that is paid by processors to farmers per kilogram of harvested rooibos. After being deposited into the government's bioprospecting trust fund, the levy will be paid in equal parts to the San Council and National KhoiSan Council. "Rooibos indigenous farming communities" – defined as "rural farming communities in rooibos growing areas who consist of descendants of original Khoi-Khoi peoples" – are to receive a portion from the trust set up for the Khoi people although the exact proportion has not yet been determined. The agreement is a landmark, not only because it acknowledges the indisputable contribution made by traditional knowledge holders towards the establishment of the industry, but also because it could bring significant material benefits to indigenous San and Khoi people, many of whom remain marginalised and poverty stricken. Such promises, linked in particular to traditional knowledge of plants, have long been in the offing, but have never quite materialised in the form of anything substantial. The succulent plant hoodia, for example, touted as a miracle anti-obesity drug, formed the basis for a benefit-sharing agreement between the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and the South African San Council. But the agreement amounted to very little when clinical trials revealed negative health effects. Other indigenous, plant-based agreements linked to pelargonium, buchu and kanna have brought community benefits, but nothing in the order of that anticipated from rooibos. That the agreement offers restorative justice is undeniable, but the road ahead is far from smooth. Questions of how exactly benefits will be shared at a local level remain unresolved, and could result in conflicts. The long and troubled history of these oppressed communities has included dislocation, fracturing of family and community structures, and the undermining of people's own initiatives. "The [rooibos] agreement means that people are asking themselves who is Khoisan. Everyone now wants to be recognised as Khoisan." The presence of strong, effective and transparent governance structures and sound external support will be essential to manage conflicting priorities proactively and ethically so that real benefits can be derived by all of the intended beneficiaries. Important questions have also been raised about who the agreement does not include. In contrast to the proactive position that has been taken by San and Khoi organisations, many harvesters and small-scale farmers in the areas where rooibos has formed a central part of livelihoods and cultures for decades remain oblivious of their rights under the Biodiversity Act. Although small-scale rooibos producer communities of the Cederberg and Suid Bokkeveld are nominally included in the agreement as part of the Khoi people, this assumes that such communities identify with contemporary Khoi political structures. These coloured farmers are typically mixed-race descendants of European settlers, former slaves, and Khoi and San people, who do not easily identify as "indigenous". However, this could change. As one farmer remarked: "The [rooibos] agreement means that people are asking themselves who is Khoisan. Everyone now wants to be recognised as Khoisan." The agreement also assumes that inhabitants of the Cederberg and beyond are sufficiently organised to leverage benefits and be effectively represented. This is certainly not the case for many people in the region who are unemployed and landless, working as farm labourers, displaced, residing elsewhere or not affiliated with co-operatives. Where do they stand? And what responsibility do the government and others bear for ensuring their inclusion? Creative ways could be found to address these concerns. Among Khoi organisations funding might be used, for example, to purchase land for rooibos production by coloured and black farmers, and thus begin to shift patterns of ownership. Funding might also be used to purchase equity in the industry, and thus begin the much-needed process of transformation. Among San organisations, located hundreds of kilometres from rooibos-growing areas, priorities are, however, likely to be more localised rather than centred on the transformation of the industry. At a time when the voices of indigenous peoples and local communities are increasingly trammelled elsewhere, the agreement is a pioneering step for South Africa. Its potential use as a model for other indigenous plants, such as honeybush and buchu, is already under discussion. Getting it right could not be more important.

Smaller sample sizes for phase II trials based on exact tests with actual error rates by trading-off their nominal levels of significance and power Khan, I; Sarker, SJ; Hackshaw, AK; (2012) Smaller sample sizes for phase II trials based on exact tests with actual error rates by trading-off their nominal levels of significance and power. British Journal of Cancer , 107 1801 -1809. 10.1038/bjc.2012.444. bjc2012444a.pdf Background: Sample sizes for single-stage phase II clinical trials in the literature are often based on exact (binomial) tests with levels of significance (alpha (α) <5% and power >80%). This is because there is not always a sample size where α and power are exactly equal to 5% and 80%, respectively. Consequently, the opportunity to trade-off small amounts of α and power for savings in sample sizes may be lost. Methods: Sample-size tables are presented for single-stage phase II trials based on exact tests with actual levels of significance and power. Trade-off in small amounts of α and power allows the researcher to select from several possible designs with potentially smaller sample sizes compared with existing approaches. We provide SAS macro coding and an R function, which for a given treatment difference, allow researchers to examine all possible sample sizes for specified differences are provided. Results: In a single-arm study with P0 (standard treatment)=10% and P1 (new treatment)=20%, and specified α=5% and power=80%, the A'Hern approach yields n=78 (exact α=4.53%, power=80.81%). However, by relaxing α to 5.67% and power to 77.7%, a sample size of 65 can be used (a saving of 13 patients). Interpretation: The approach we describe is especially useful for trials in rare disorders, or for proof-of-concept studies, where it is important to minimise the trial duration and financial costs, particularly in single-arm cancer trials commonly associated with expensive treatment options. 10.1038/bjc.2012.444 http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/bjc.2012.444 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

As I prepare to fly to Mumbai for Virtue Insight's 9th Pharmacovigilance 2015 conference, I am proud to spotlight a niche service of expertise that Oviya MedSafe has developed over the past year, through this August 2015 edition of Oviya MedSafe's newsletter! The excellence of Oviya MedSafe's featured offering, namely writing and performing quality review of Patient Safety Narratives for Clinical Study Reports, is a result of our relentless commitment to Oviya MedSafe's core value of continuous capability-building coupled with the organization's experience-based learning derived by working with multiple global clients since 2012. According to Section 12.3.2 of the ICH E3 Guideline (Structure & Content of Clinical Study Reports), brief narratives describing each death, each other serious adverse event, and those of the other significant adverse events that are judged to be of special interest because of clinical importance, need to be written. Events that are clearly unrelated to the test drug / investigational product may be omitted or described very briefly. The section further explains what a Patient Safety Narrative is expected to describe and what additional information should be included in the description. Whilst we are on the topic of narratives, it is appropriate for me to emphasize that Oviya MedSafe would conduct a post-conference workshop titled 'Case Narrative Writing for Reporting Adverse Events', at the 6th Annual Pharmacovigilance Asia 2015 conference organized by IQPC in November at Singapore, in which the focus areas would be Patient Safety Narratives for Clinical Study Reports and Case Narratives for Individual Case Safety Reports. I take pleasure in inviting you to join us for this conference at Singapore, in which I shall also deliver a lecture on 'Exploiting Social Media to Identify Potential Safety Signals and to Augment Adverse Event Data Collection' and participate in a panel discussion titled 'Overcoming Challenges in PV in Developing Asia'. Please click here to download the agenda of this conference. Prior to the Singapore visit, I would travel to the UK in October to chair EasyB's UK Pharmacovigilance Day 2015 conference which is to be held at London. I am delighted to share with you that the conference agenda is shaping up very well and the registrations are quite encouraging so far. My Co-Chair Dr Sumit Munjal, Medical Director Lead, Global Pharmacovigilance at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, UK and I are glad to invite you to be part of this interesting gathering which intends to take a closer look at unique areas in pharmacovigilance that are not often discussed in other events. During the same trip, I plan to attend the 10th Annual Conference of the Pharmaceutical Information & Pharmacovigilance Association (PIPA), UK too, where I hope to meet many of you. Moving on to Indian pharmacovigilance, I wanted to inform you that our webinar titled 'Why pharmaceutical companies are in a dire need of building an innovative and efficient pharmacovigilance system for Indian compliance' announced in Oviya MedSafe's July 2015 newsletter has been postponed to a later date, due to lots of happening changes in the Indian drug regulatory system, which made us decide that holding the webinar after the regulations get crystallized would make it more unambiguous and engaging to the stakeholders. On another note, with India being a preferred pharmacovigilance outsourcing destination today, it is obvious that the time has come for the world's second most populous country to realize its ambition of playing a key competitive role in the global pharmacovigilance scenario. Recognizing this emerging evolution, the 2nd National Pharmacovigilance Symposium of the Indian Society for Clinical Research (ISCR), rightly titled "Leveraging India's Potential for the Advancement of Global Drug Safety", has been organized at Bengaluru, India on Friday 25-Sep-2015, to which I invite you, in my personal capacity as the Chair of ISCR's Pharmacovigilance Council, to participate in the day's proceedings and also, if possible, to patronize this milestone event by sponsoring it. Last but not the least; I wish to let you know that we at Oviya MedSafe are looking for mid and senior level medically qualified pharmacovigilance professionals experienced in outsourced drug safety operations to join our team atour global delivery centre in Coimbatore and be part of Oviya MedSafe's growth. If these criteria are applicable to you and if you are interested, please e-mail your CV with a covering letter to [email protected] so that our HR team could connect with you. It has indeed been a pleasure working with Oviya MedSafe! Timely execution and great quality work! We are happy that our trust paid off well. We would really recommend Oviya MedSafe for a cost effective and quality work in the field of Pharmacovigilance! The hard work and support of Oviya MedSafe employees is appreciated and they have been flexible in taking on roles as per the demands of the project, while remaining amiable and enthusiastic throughout.

Charges delay vote on bishop By Frank Langfitt MINNEAPOLIS — MINNEAPOLIS - The Episcopal Church was thrown into confusion yesterday when a pair of last-minute allegations surfaced against the Rev. V. Gene Robinson, prompting leaders to postpone a vote expected to make Robinson the first openly gay bishop in America. Responding to allegations that Robinson had inappropriate physical contact with another man and had connections to an organization whose Web page linked indirectly to a pornographic site, Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold formed a committee to investigate. Griswold said Robinson - the bishop-elect of New Hampshire - and other leaders of his diocese "asked that a thorough investigation be undertaken before we proceed with seeking the consent of the bishops." The physical contact allegation, which surfaced Sunday night, is a vague one in which a middle-aged Vermont man claimed Robinson had put his hands on him "inappropriately" during a regional church meeting two years ago. The second complaint came from a conservative church group, the American Anglican Council. The group told bishops that a Web site for Outright, a support group for gay and lesbian youth with which Robinson has been involved, was linked to another site that in turn was linked to a bisexual porn site. The last-minute allegations turned what gay rights advocates had hoped would be a day of celebration into a disorienting ordeal marked by turmoil and confusion. However, it was unclear last night whether either allegation would halt the momentum for Robinson's confirmation - which had seemed all but assured Sunday. Robinson's supporters confirmed yesterday that a Web site for the Portland, Maine, branch of Outright was two mouse clicks away from a pornographic site. But Outright said Robinson was never affiliated with the Portland group. In an online biography, Robinson describes himself as a founding member of Outright's Concord, N.H., branch. Outright maintains an umbrella Web page of links to nine branch sites in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. "Bishop-elect Rev. Gene Robinson has not been involved, at any time, with our Outright organization in Portland or our Web site and its content," Cathy Kidman, Outright's interim executive director, wrote in a statement released last night. "This is clearly an attempt to discredit his important nomination." The complaint of unwelcome contact came to the attention of bishops in an e-mail from a man named David Lewis, identified as a church member from Vermont. Calls to Lewis' home in Manchester, a town of about 3,000 in the state's southwest corner, were not returned. Little was known about the man yesterday. A woman who answered the phone at The Manchester Journal, the home town newspaper for which Lewis has done some free-lance writing, described Lewis as a "gentle man" but refused to give her full name. Seth Bongartz, a lawyer in Manchester, told the Associated Press he knew Lewis "fairly well" and said he is married with two children and apparently training to become an Episcopal priest. State Rep. Judy Livingston said she also knew Lewis and his wife. She described him as "very intelligent," adding: "He is not the person who would make wild accusations." According to an electronic search of public records by The Sun, Lewis is 50 years old and also maintained an address in Los Angeles from at least 1984 until 2001. Supporters and opponents of Robinson's confirmation greeted the allegation with a degree of skepticism but said they would respect the church's investigative process. "One can wonder why he [Lewis] waited so late and whether there is any substance to this," said the Rev. David C. Anderson, president of the American Anglican Council, which has opposed Robinson's candidacy. "Gene deserves the right to defend himself, and this could be a scurrilous and false accusation." The Rev. Michael Hopkins, president of Integrity, a national group of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Episcopalians, said he stood by his long-time friend. "I know Gene," said Hopkins, who is also rector of St. George's Episcopal Church in Glendale, Prince George's County. "I personally can't imagine that this is true. I have to believe that an investigation will exonerate him." Griswold, the presiding bishop, did not give a timetable for the investigation, "Gene, being an openly gay person, has a history of people taking potshots at him," said the Rev. Douglas E. Theuner, the bishop of New Hampshire. "I certainly hope it [Robinson's confirmation] will be over before the convention is over." Until Sunday evening, it had looked as though Robinson would sail through his confirmation vote. Earlier that day, the church's House of Deputies had approved his June election in New Hampshire by an easy margin. The House of Bishops had been expected to follow suit yesterday. Plans for the vote began to come into question Sunday night when bishops received an e-mail from Lewis alleging what he called inappropriate touching. "PLEASE DO NOT consent to the consecration of Gene Robinson as a bishop," Lewis wrote in an e-mail addressed to the Rev. Thomas C. Ely, the bishop of Vermont, and to the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. In the e-mail, dispatched about 9 p.m. Sunday, Lewis said that at a church meeting two years ago, Robinson "put his hands on me inappropriately every time I engaged him in conversation." "NO GAY MAN HAS EVER BEHAVED TOWARDS ME THIS WAY," Lewis continued. "My personal experience of him is that Robinson does not maintain appropriate boundaries with men. I believe this is an alarming weakness of character that alone makes Gene unsuitable for the office of bishop." The Rev. Robert W. Ihloff, bishop of the Diocese of Maryland and a Robinson supporter, said he had not seen the e-mail but was certain the church would fully investigate the matter. "Our procedure in the Episcopal Church is to take allegations of any kind very seriously," said Ihloff. The conservative Anglican Council has warned of a split within the American Episcopal church if Robinson is seated. Like-minded bishops in the Anglican Communion, the 75 million-member global association that includes the Episcopal Church, said they, too, will consider breaking with the denomination if Robinson wins. Robinson has rejected calls from conservatives that he withdraw from consideration to prevent a schism in the church, as a gay clergyman did recently in England. Sun staff Research Director Sandy Levy and the Associated Press contributed to this article.

As 2016 began, we anticipated an increase in our production capacity with the addition of new tanks and kegs (which are now at over 400 and counting). We installed the tanks (with the help of our neighbors at New Hampshire Hydraulics) in mid-February, and immediately increased our production to fulfill demand. In the fall, we secured long-awaited hops contracts, allowing us to increase production of "Victory nor Defeat" and add it to our distributed offerings; a beer which spent 15 months pouring solely in our Ale Room due to raw material limitations (and no, we never considered "replacing" any of the hops in order to make/sell more earlier). In 2015, we were proud to announce that we moved every ounce produced; not one keg lasted long enough in our inventory to reach expiration. We're unable to say the same for 2016: Out of nearly 2500 kegs produced, we had to let 8 go; a sell-through of rate of 99.7%. Chris came on board in February 2016 from our neighbors down the road at Anheuser-Busch. He quickly became a tremendous battle-buddy to Jake, and asset to the company. On the sales end, we found we no longer need to "cold call" restaurants. Throughout the year, new opportunities came from simply answering the phone; incoming requests. We have you all to thank for this, since it is you who has continually asked for our products when it isn't available, and continually ordered it when it is. You guys are awesome; keep up the effort. At the end of August, we also added Quart Cans of Burn The Ships and Victory Nor Defeat to our distro network in limited quantities to only 10 specialty craft beer stores (after 2 years of endless requests from retailers). As a result, monthly distro sales increased ~20% once we added the retail channel; a solid increase despite the small quantity of Quarts produced. This, however, is a good indicator of the potential retail has for us in 2017. More to follow. Overall, the distro end of our company grew 50% in 2016. High five. Our on-site bar continues to serve as the center of the movement; you all know it well. Overall, the Ale Room saw 30% growth in 2016, pouring over 12,000 gallons of beer into flights, pints, growlers & our latest offering - the Quart Cans. We debuted the Quarts at our 2-year anniversary party in June 2016. Since that time, we sold nearly 6,000 of them in the Ale Room alone. Add in the 7,000+ growler fills we did in 2016, and beer to-go accounts for most of the volume we poured through our in-house draft lines. While the Ale Room moves only ~1/3rd of our total production volume, the venue still accounts for most of our sales. We really have all of you to thank for this, and cannot express how much it means to us. We truly appreciate all of your continued support, one pint at a time. While growth in 2016 was exponential, it is something which needs to be managed closely or it can easily run out of control. We're big on doing the very best job we can, and this means we have to be relentless with our efficiency at every level. After analyzing this past year, we believe maximizing these efficiencies is where the most opportunity lies for growth in the year ahead. While 2016 was the year of "Taking the Hill," 2017 will be the year of "Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast." I've carried this phrase with me since my time in the military. The challenge of training soldiers in the art of combat is managing each individual's subconscious need to execute as quickly as possible. I recognize this sounds counter-intuitive; in war, time is of the essence, so one would expect soldiers to execute their jobs with a greater amount of speed than the enemy. Yet, speed doesn't come from training to be speedy. Attempting to execute as quickly as possible simply leads to mistakes, since the mind is trying to handle each task one at a time. The second order effect of which is they aren't focused on their job, but each detail inherent to their job. Details get missed, corners get cut, mistakes are made. The result is actually more time & effort to finish the job because it wasn't done right the first time. I've come to believe speed comes from the disciplined & deliberate repetition of tasks until they become habits. Habits then shape the subconscious to execute without having to think through each task, allowing us to focus on the job. Thus, speed of execution comes naturally. To train on entering and clearing buildings, we would simply go out into the west Texas desert and mark off imaginary hallways, rooms and doorways with white tape. Teams would then practice moving and clearing the imaginary building as a team. No ammo, no enemy. For hours at a time, we repeatedly executed the "simple" task of moving a fire team through a building as a single unit - with full equipment, battle load and rifle. Not fun. It requires four people moving together without hesitation, while simultaneously maintaining their sector of security. One person misses their assignment, the team is immediately at risk. Many soldiers feel the adrenaline and hustle, only to leave teammates behind; or get antsy and enter a room prematurely. There's a lot of running into one another; even tripping over one another. I'll tell you, cleaning an M4 after dropping it in the sand will ruin your evening. Note: I'm paraphrasing, but it's pretty close. Before long, any four of our soldiers could navigate a building as easily as one strolls to the bathroom during a break...all while maintaining 360-degree security and clearing potential threats, despite not knowing the building's interior layout. We then stepped up to section clearing (2 teams working together...without shooting one another), then full platoon clearing. Once ready, we booked range days in the shoot houses - buildings designed with bullet-absorbent walls and targets we could engage. My point: By the time we added ammunition and targets to the mix, the men didn't have to think about where their teammates were, how to safely clear around corners, what to do when low on ammo, etc. The details happened seamlessly, without error, and much faster than when hurrying through imaginary hallways in the desert. The details were now habit, and they could focus the entirety of their minds on their job: clearing the building. Efficiency of production is an area we are constantly analyzing. Our self-built 10-BBL brewing system isn't the sexiest or easiest to brew on at large scale. However, with nearly 3 years under our belt brewing in this process, we've identified ways to cut down on brewing time and increase batch efficiencies. So much so, we can produce 50% more in 2017 without any additional equipment, which will allow us to focus on expanding in other cool ways. We've also added production to AbleOPS - the system facilitating our operations we debuted last year to simplify the complexities of running our own distribution. Since we already track consumption trends, we're able to leverage this into predicting our production rhythm. AbleOPS lets us know what the breakdown in keg sizes should be on kegging day, ensuring inventory is at the right level. Too little, and draft lines start running dry. Too much, and beer could expire before it's consumed. Screenshot of AbleOPS - the system driving our Production & Distro operations. Remember the eight kegs mentioned above which we had to let go in 2016? The cause was basing our production schedule off the current inventory. Yes, a 99.7% sell-through rate is still very strong, but as we grow and scale, we recognize these small discrepancies can easily become large - or out of control - before we realize it. It's important we identify and address them immediately before they become problems. This is one area of our company which requires little improvement. The model has not changed: product delivered when needed on-demand (we have a 24-hour guarantee on our main brands, and have yet to breach it). Rather than employ a dedicated salesperson, we've developed a culture where we are all salespeople, and found that culture has permeated into our customer base...meaning all of you. This has allowed the company to grow organically. The #1 reason most restaurants decide to add a particular brand to their draft lineup is simple: customers ask for it. And you all ask a lot. It means a great deal to get your endorsement; we won't let you down. The bar is also experiencing organic growth at a rapid pace. More often we are experiencing long lines and large crowds. It's easy to become rushed when this small room becomes packed. We never intended this venue to grow into - in essence - it's own company, so we all simply shared it as a joint responsibility in order to grant customers access those experienced in the brewery's operation (rather than just part-time bartenders). As we enter 2017, the Ale Room needs a dedicated manager to help facilitate its growth; a role Heather has agreed to take on full-time. We will all continue to serve as your bartenders, since it is critical to maintain customer's access to our subject matter experts across all 3 operations we maintain (Brewing, Distro & Ale Room). For 2017, we're slowing down from the chaos of rapid growth in favor of establishing a smooth rhythm for the future. We aren't worried about growing as big as we can, as fast as we can. There are no plans to build new facilities, scale production capacity, or expand into other states. For Able Ebenezer, the world ends at the New Hampshire border. Our focus is on you, the people of the "Live Free or Die" state. With your continued support, we can reach our goal of becoming a genuine Craft Beer of New Hampshire. Together, we can do it. Thank you all for your continued support of the movement. It's going to be one hell of a year. Cheers! This was a big year for us on the brewing side of the business, as we needed to increase our output in order to keep up with growth. In essence, we reached the top end of our current production capacity, and sold every ounce we produced; not one drop of our inventory lasted long enough to reach its expiration date. We consider this quite a feat, since we maintain no bottling or canning operation; all of our production volume goes into kegs. To facilitate this growth, we increased our keg inventory by the hundreds and doubled our cold room space (since it is our standard is to keep everything we produce cold until it pours from the draft). Throughout, we maintained our superior quality and freshness. A year ago, we distributed our products actively to roughly 20 local restaurants within the Merrimack River corridor running from Nashua to Concord. Today, we distribute to over 60 restaurants across a territory spanning east/west from Portsmouth to Peterborough, and north/south from Laconia to Nashua. Numbers? We ran well over 800 individual deliveries, moving over 1,100 kegs (or nearly 12,000 gallons) in the process. We also welcomed the addition of a new delivery vehicle to assist with the heavy lifting: Able 2, a Jeep Renegade outfitted to carry up to 12 kegs (shown in the photo above). Many of you are familiar with our on-site bar at the brewery, where we share the full Able Ebenezer experience with you and yours. This small bar has been one of the most fun parts of our operation, as this past year we hosted several special events with some of our partnered restaurants, unveiled our outdoor seating area, welcomed Jimmy's Food Truck, debuted Jake's N64 in the living room, and watched as our live music night on Monday's grew into a local staple. By the numbers? We moved around 9,000 gallons of beer through this venue, most of it going into the nearly 8,000 growlers we filled. Even as I write this now, the Ale Room is full of people enjoying playoff football over a pint or flight with friends and family. So yes, 2015 was one hell of a year...but we have higher expectations for 2016. Throughout my time in the Army, I viewed military operations as 3-part exercises: Setting Conditions, Taking the Hill, and Defining the Next Mission. Thus far, our demand has vastly outpaced our ability to keep up; we've been limited by production capacity, storage space, keg inventory, and the simple availability of time (after all, there are only 4 of us). As such, we've had to make sacrifices, such as taking products off draft in our Ale Room to free up inventory for restaurants, and wait-listing new restaurants to ensure our current partners never lose their access to product. We've learned from these sacrifices, making adjustments and maneuvering the company into a position where we can move forward without limitation. We have set our conditions. Tactical patience has paid off; now the time has come to pull the trigger. No more wait-lists. No more holding back. This is a "Take the Hill" year for Able Ebenezer. Next month, we will begin increasing our production once again, as new brite tanks arrive in mid-February. This will put us in position to triple our capacity and thus, begin to actively grow restaurant partnerships once more. In 2016, we will double our distribution operation. To support this effort, we're happy to announce the addition of a new member to our team. Chris Clement - a fellow military veteran - has accepted our offer to join the movement, coming over from our friends down the street at Anheuser-Busch. Chris gets his boots on ground with us next month. We also recently completed our mobile app - AbleOPS - which is designed to track all of our inventory throughout our network, process orders digitally, and calculate consumption trends at our partnered restaurants to streamline production rhythm and inventory planning. In true Able fashion, this app was designed and built by us, in-house. In the future, we plan to roll AbleOPS out to restaurant managers so they too can view our available inventory and place orders instantly via their computer or mobile device. Will still be open 7 days a week; same hours, same good times. With that, we cannot thank you all enough for taking up the cause alongside us...and we'll need you again as we move forward this year. Together, we will continue to grow the movement, and Take the Hill in 2016. One strong dolly, an over-worked Transit Connect and a few ratchet straps later, I've witnessed Able Ebenezer come quite far for a self-distributing brewery just now marking it's first year. For me, it has been an adventure doing what I love...and I cannot stress enough how incredible it is having found work that I truly love. After leaving the US Army in December 2013, I began bouncing around between jobs, seeking something that had purpose...something I believed in. In June, I was laid off from a role when they could no longer offer the 30-35 hours of work per week they had able to give. This was when I met Carl, and heard about the opportunity at Able Ebenezer. I knew nothing about brewing or the complicated distribution business, but I did know was I was willing to work tirelessly to learn it, especially with a company that had purpose. I was surprised when I was hired. Through that careful hard work and your support, we have created quite a name for ourselves in these first twelve months. From tasters up to pints, from grilled cheeses to hot dogs, and from a couple restaurants to over 40. Thinking back, I remember seven establishments seemed like far too many to keep track of, but am now finishing out the year with forty-two. Overall, this year has been full of surprises for me. While we don't know exactly what is ahead of us, we know it will be bigger and better. As great as milestones are, after the 13th we will continue our movement forward. Expanding our lines of attack and seeking those opportunities for growth, all while continuing to service the amazing establishments who currently pour our beers. Taking a moment to catch my breath and appreciate what I have worked for is a humbling moment, yet something I don't believe one should get caught up in. It's never wise to dwell on your accomplishments simply because it is so easy to lose track of the new ones to come. With that, I am back on the road again today delivering kegs across southern NH, and will be behind the bar tonight to host our weekly live music. This past year required a great deal of hard work, but I know the path ahead will require even more. I welcome it's surprises. With that, here is to our moment to look back and reflect, and to getting back at it the next day as we drive forward into Year 2. Production operations are ongoing at the facility. For us, it has been a long road turning a battery distribution warehouse into a 10-barrel brewery and tasting room; a journey that is now coming to an end. Now, a new chapter begins. With that, however, comes what we've worked so hard to achieve: the chance to share our passion and production with you all in the form of revolutionary, Able ales. We recognize that this phase will bring new challenges, but are excited about facing and overcoming them together. The last thought I want to share with you all from this build phase is this: the decision to "burn the ships" and leave "paradise" to pursue a work of passion is not an easy one. Since doing so ourselves, we have endured months of unexpected obstacles, heavy stress, never-ending days, and sleepless nights without earning pay of any kind...not to mention the bevy of individuals who couldn't believe we were even trying in the first place. Reflecting on the past several months, I told my partners that I have never been more stressed in my life, including my time overseas in Iraq. However, I have also never been happier. This is why we admire and are inspired by those who do it anyway. They don't care how difficult, illogical or crazy their passion may be. Like Ebenezer and his Rioters, they know what they want and are willing to put in endless effort to get it done, and in doing so bring value to fellow citizens. We knew that this brewery was what we wanted; that it was a crazy idea with a long, difficult journey ahead...but if we pulled it off, we could share our ales with you all; bringing an able experience to able people with able beer. This is why we started Able Ebenezer. With that, we still have a great deal of that journey left to take on, so we're going to get back at it. We want to thank all of you who have followed our work and our story these past few months. I look forward to pouring you a fresh beer on the afternoon ofJune 14th. We're off and running at the facility. The system is up and we're conducting operations at this time. Over the next couple of weeks we have a number of walk-through's scheduled with the town, and will look complete our licensing process with the state (the final legislative hurdle). From this point forward, our main objective is building inventory, putting final touches on the facility and expanding the buzz for our opening (for that, we have many of you reading this to thank). Finally, I will announce that this past week we have completed the development of a new product that will be unveiled in the near-term. Having tasted it over the weekend, I believe it has the potential to be our ablest of beers. Once again, I give you all my sincere thanks for your support. Have a great week everyone. This week's update will be short: We completed the flooring, furnishing and painting of the tasting room, as well as executed the last remaining equipment install over the weekend. As such, the tasting room and brewing areas are now complete. The remaining work to be done is minor in nature, and includes tasks which we will complete as we approach the opening. While we were held up on being able to start engineering runs this past week, we will get them running in the coming week. This week we will also be scheduling our inspections/walk-through's with various interested departments within town of Merrimack and look to achieve their blessing on our work to date. Thank you all again for your interest and support. My partners and I look forward to welcoming you all into our lives as we open these doors. Have a great week. We accomplished a great deal this week, with the added benefit of our partner Jim making a trip back home to help us push closer to completion. We are at the final stretch of the facility build, with plumbing and electrical work being completed, as well as the installation of our new propane tanks (dedicated solely to the boil kettle). We also completed the last piece of fabrication work and placed all brewing equipment into final position on the brewery floor. Our tasting room is also near completion, with the only remaining aspect being the installation of our new floor, and moving in the new furniture (both occurring this week). Next week we will dedicate our time to putting the finishing touches on the facility. By this time next week, we expect to be conducting engineering runs, with brewing to begin shortly following. We trust your week ahead will be as productive and fulfilling as ours. Enjoy. Completed the installation of the brewery sign. Sealing of the brewhouse floor. Finishing of the lobby flooring. This coming week, Mike (our Head Brewer) and I are featured with Michael Haupley-Pierce and Tim Robbins on the New Hampshire-based Taphandle Show (link), which will be available Thursday (4/24). I encourage all of our followers to take a moment to check out their show, and give a listen to previous shows as well (including some great ones with Bill from White Birch, Brew Hampshire filmmakers Bryant and Meagan, among many others). In terms of facility work, we are complting final fabrication to the brewhouse, as well as plumbing and electrical work in the tasting room and brewery areas. We also anticipate the reception of the last pieces of brewing equipment (plate chiller, brite tank), as well as our new cold room. Thanks again to everyone for your continued support. We anticipate the announcement of our grand opening very soon. With that, we look forward to the week ahead. Time to get back at it. Have a great week everyone. This past week was very productive at Able Ebenezer. We completed our trench floor drain and wastewater pretreatment system. Paint is just about finished throughout the facility (aside from touch-up work). Our new pine wood flooring has started to go in. Associated piping for the brewhouse is complete. Our tap handles went into production. I would like to expand on that last item, because tap handles are an item that every brewer needs to invest in if they are interested in being on tap at local venues. Like much of the other work we've done to build this brewery, we decided to make the handles ourselves. The idea we had was to brand the names and logos into the side of NH White Pine, creating a look that we feel represents us well. We acquired a White Pine tree from here in the town of Merrimack. From that tree, we began cutting, shaping, fitting and finishing handles. This week, we brought the handles to New Boston, NH to our branding artist; we came away with what we have decided will be the final product (see image below). This coming week, we have several items on our plate, and will try to get all of them. First off, we are welcoming the new season by taking today (the 242nd anniversary of the Pine Tree Riots) and heading to the Seacoast for NH brewed beer and sun. Finishing of the brewhouse floor, then moving equipment into final position. Finishing of the tasting room and lobby flooring. Final electrical and plumbing work within the facility. Commencing of propane piping and burner work (boil kettle). A special thank you again to every one of our followers. Be sure to take some time this week to enjoy a beer brewed right here in the "Live Free or Die" state. Cheers, everyone! We accomplished a great deal this week (adding a number of miscellaneous skills to our resumes in the process). One aspect of brewing that people don't put a lot of thought into is the Wastewater from the brewing process. Merrimack, with its high concentration of industrial manufacturers (such as our neighbor, Anheuser-Busch), has been deemed by the EPA as one of the few municipalities within the state of New Hampshire that must have a wastewater pre-treatment program in place; meaning that we need to collect, test and neutralize all waste water produced from the brewery prior to putting it down the drain. While we do not utilize harsh chemicals in our brewing and cleaning processes, and the primary product of our manufacturing process is delicious beer, we must adhere to the standards put in place by the EPA. The way it was put to us, we "need to be held to the same standard as Anheuser-Busch and others in town." My partners and I welcomed this challenge. As part of that effort, we spent the early part of this week installing our 50-foot-long trench floor drain, which does not enter the sewer system directly (which you would expect with most floor drains). Instead, the system pumps water entering the drain into batch tanks that once full, will be tested, treated and logged prior to release to the sewer. The trench is in place, and will be complete on Monday morning once we pour and level the fresh concrete. Completion of the trim, doors, glass and final coats of paint within the tasting room/retail area. Completion of our self-designed heat-exchanger (as part of our 10-BBL HERMS system). More to follow on this aspect in future updates. Beginning of piping work on the brewing system. Installation of pine wood flooring within the tasting room/retail area. Concrete pour into the trench drain. Installation of new propane tanks (boil kettle dedicated) and finalization of propane piping/burner system. Thank you all again for your continued interest in us and our venture. We remain on target, and look forward to the day when we can share a beer with you all. Prost! Complete resurfacing of our facility's concrete floor, and thorough cleaning of the entirety of the space (a clean brewery produces clean beer). Accumulation and building of our brewing equipment (boil, mash, heat exchangers, mill, fermenters, brite/conditioning tank, etc). The building of the tasting room. Framing of our 27' bar. Delivery of our kegs, growlers, pints and tasters. Federal approval of our Brewer's Qualification. Many other miscellaneous activities, many of which can be seen on our Facebook page. Digging out 40' of concrete floor to install our trenched floor drain and implement our waste water pre-treatment process. Piping work on our custom 10-BBL (310-gallon) brewing system. Complete plumbing and electrical installation in our new tasting room. With that, we are on target to open later this spring. We will continue to update you all on our progress each week, and will make it known when we are able to announce a date for our grand opening. Until then, we welcome all of your questions and comments, and look forward to the opportunity to share a beer with you in the coming months. Prost!

It would be tough for any wrestler to top main eventing Wrestlemania or main-eventing Survivor Series against The Rock and John Cena, but Miz was in an unusual position. Despite being pushed heavily, the WWE brass had begun to lose faith in Miz. Rumors of him being viewed as someone who the higher-ups had "soured on" on at the time For any other wrestler, that could've been the end. But through hard work and talent, Miz did more than simply turn his career around, but would also help to elevate the IC Title and follow on from the work of Cody Rhodes. Although he was still featured prominently on TV, his booking would reflect the idea he was looked upon less fondly, as he would feature in a 20-match losing streak in the early parts of 2012. It wasn't until picking up the win for Team Johnny at Wrestlemania 28 in a twelve-man tag match would he finally get his win. This wouldn't signify a change in fortune for The Miz however as he would languish in the midcard before taking a two-month break. Miz would return at Money in the Bank, before making the biggest move of his career since his WWE Title win, winning the Intercontinental Championship on RAW 1000 in a match against Christian. Little did we know at the time, this would be the beginning of many reigns of one of the greatest IC Champions of the decade. The first couple of reigns Miz had with the Intercontinental Championship were average at best or too short to be ranked. A title defense against Rey Mysterio and in a fatal 4 way at Night of Champions would be the highlights of Miz's first reign before dropping the title to Kofi Kingston on the premiere edition of Main Event. This was before the present format Main Event when Main Event was viewed as an important show for the company, rather than a place for underutilized talents to ply their trade. The next IC Title reign was rather controversial, as Miz had recently turned face. Many viewed this as out of character for Miz and he wasn't able to get over as a babyface. The truth was that his character didn't really change upon becoming a face, unlike today where Miz is a family man with a wife and kids, he was still an annoying trash talker. He defeated Wade Barrett to win the IC Title in the Wrestlemania 29 Pre-show in 2013, but lost the title immediately on RAW the night after Wrestlemania. As you can see, the first two reigns of The Miz weren't great. Whilst the first wasn't horrible, the second was too short to be viewed as anything more substandard. Miz would have a difficult rest of 2013 and early 2014, staying out of the main event picture and being largely relegated to the lower mid-card. As what happened earlier, a two-month break to film Marine 4 would again result in positive change for The Miz. Miz would turn heel again upon his return, but would also play up being a big Hollywood story and "The A-Lister" persona. Miz would begin a feud with Ziggler (not the famous one), who he would trade the belt with back and forth after winning the vacant title at Battleground. This would last until the night after Night of Champions, losing the belt to Ziggler for the final time. Whilst these reigns weren't long, they produced two things: Quality matches, which shouldn't be a surprise considering he was wrestling someone like Dolph Ziggler. But the important one, would be the birth of the Damien Mizdow character. Sandow, who had been impersonating different people for weeks, became the stunt double for Miz, which would lead to a long term feud which would result in getting Sandow even more over than he was in the process. Whilst the ending disappointed a lot of people, without the IC Title, the storyline would never have happened. Miz wouldn't smell the IC Title again until around Wrestlemania 32 in 2016, when he was an entrant in the IC Title Ladder Match. Unbeknownst to us at the time, Miz was originally booked to win the match and take the title. However, a push from Miz thought to give the title to Zack Ryder, who was a late entrant in place of an injured Neville (PAC), would make for a far greater story and match. It wouldn't take Miz long to gain the title, as he would beat Ryder the night after WrestleMania to win the title. This was notable though, as Miz introduced a new part to his act, his wife Maryse. From this point on, all of Miz's IC Title reigns would be pure quality. His fifth reign would last 188 days, but the quality of matches and storylines would be what stood out in arguably one of his best runs with the title. Not only did he have classics like the Fatal 4 Way against Owens, Zayn and Cesaro at Extreme Rules, but his storyline with the then-retired Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler was one of the best storylines to come out of the new brand extension in the summer of 2016. The Miz's promo on Talking Smack is still regarded as one of the best promos in the modern era. He and Ziggler would trade the belt, contesting in epic matches against each other, including at No Mercy 2016 where Ziggler's career was on the line. It speaks to the strength of the storyline that many considered that there was a real possibility that Ziggler would retire and transition to a backstage role. Miz would lose the title to Ambrose at the start of the year, but wouldn't last long without it as he would regain the title months later at Extreme Rules in June 2017 after being drafted to RAW. The thing about Miz and his IC Title reigns were that the stories involved were not only interesting, but he was treated like a top guy when holding the title. Plus, considering Brock Lesnar was Universal Champion around that time and only appeared sporadically, Miz was the top singles champion on RAW. His title feud with Roman Reigns would further prove this, as he would both lose then regain the title from Reigns, bringing up reign #8. While these reigns weren't necessarily the longest IC Title reigns, nothing The Miz did with the title was bad. His last match as IC Champion at Wrestlemania 34 was one of the best Wrestlemania opening matches, against Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, dropping the title to Rollins. The Miz and the Intercontinental Championship were just a great fit for one another throughout the 2010s. The Miz has the second most reigns as the IC Champion with eight (behind Chris Jericho's nine) and is just 22 days behind Pedro Morales for the most days as IC Champion. To this day, if the IC Title needed someone to help boost its status, The Miz would be the first person the WWE would turn to. Miz has created many amazing moments with the title, far more than many in the last decade. Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of Miz and the IC Title, but I doubt we have.

Categories Xtremesports Tags Blogs, Feature, Sport, the miz, WWE, Xtremesports TJR Review of WWE Untold: Rey, Eddie & The Rumble A new episode of WWE Untold debuted last night on WWE Network and it focused on Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and the 2006 Royal Rumble match. That Royal Rumble match took place about two months after Eddie's shocking death in November 2005. This episode of WWE Untold focused on Rey and Eddie's friendship as well as Rey dedicating that Royal Rumble win to his best friend Eddie. Here's the synopsis from WWE Network: Rey Mysterio remembers his best friend, the late Eddie Guerrero, looks back at their mythic matches against each other in WCW and WWE and relives dedicating his 2006 Royal Rumble Match win to Guerrero. You can find this episode of WWE Untold in the "Originals" section on WWE Network. Here's a recap. THE BOND BETWEEN EDDIE AND REY The show began with Rey Mysterio sitting down on a chair after taking off a Halloween Havoc 1997 jacket. It's a great jacket because Rey vs. Eddie Guerrero that night was one of WCW's best matches ever. Mysterio said that God had plans for them to conquer the wrestling world together. They showed an interview with the late, great Eddie Guerrero from April 2, 2003. Eddie spoke about how he respected Rey for his positive attitude about the business, he said Rey fights through everything, you can't help but like him and he doesn't have any enemies because they (the wrestlers) all like him. There were highlights shown of Rey Mysterio in his ECW and WCW days. Mysterio said he'd love to use the name "King Mystery" more with the English translation. Mysterio said it was very normal for him to see boots, mask and tights growing up because he would see his uncle's matches (Rey Mysterio Sr.). Rey said his favorite times were spending time at his uncle's house and he talked about how they would do moves together. Rey said he would go with his parents, his brothers and support his uncle Rey Mysterio Sr. in Tijuana. They showed a clip of Rey Sr. wrestling for WCW. There were also clips shown from Rey Sr. in action with Rey saying he loved seeing his uncle as a good guy. Rey talked about how Eddie was great as a technico (face) or a rudo (heel). Rey said being able to dominate both worlds, that's a gift and that's a talent. Rey said he didn't think he could do that because he doesn't think he could play a bad guy, but Eddie could do it when he needed to. TJR THOUGHTS: I strongly agree with Rey there. I always say that the best wrestlers are able to have success as a heel and a face. Eddie was one of those guys that could perform in both roles very well. There were times when Eddie was the most popular guy on the show and other times where he was the most hated. It truly was a gift as Rey said. Jonathon Coachman talked about what Eddie meant to this business as a superstar that was addicted to the business. They showed highlights of Eddie walking backstage with the WWE Title. Coachman said a lot of people connected with Eddie and nobody had a problem working with him. Coachman said that sometimes the business can get the better of you. They showed a clip of Eddie talking about how he was a recovering drug addict and alcoholic that works every day to stay sober, to stay in the path of God. Eddie said he was proud of who he is and he loved wrestling. Rey spoke about how Eddie was teaming up with his uncle in Tijuana when Rey was maybe 13 years old. Rey wanted to work with Eddie back then, but if you would have asked him if they would have a match of the year, Rey would have said you were joking and that's what happened at WCW Halloween Havoc 1997. THE CLASSIC AT WCW HALLOWEEN HAVOC 1997 They focused on the WCW Halloween Havoc 1997 event with Rey defending his mask against Eddie's Cruiserweight Title. Rey said that WCW was trying to take the masks off all the luchadores and Rey said he wouldn't do it while adding he was going to no-show the event. Rey said that Eric Bischoff told him he'll do what he is told, but if he doesn't do it then he'll be in breach of contract, so Rey had to be there. They inserted a clip of Eddie saying there was a lot of politicking backstage and talked to him about it. Rey said that a match or two before their match, they told them Rey was winning and Eddie was losing, which surprised Rey. That led to highlights of the match with Rey saying that Eddie told Rey to listen to him with Rey noting he was wearing a Phantom mask that covered his ears, so he thought this was going to be hard. Mysterio said that he went based off Eddie's lead and he said that Eddie was the best talent ever because he knew what to give the fans at the right time. Rey talked about one of the biggest moves that he created, a springboard reverse backflip DDT was a move they did that night. That was so impressive. They showed the memorable finish with Eddie going for a Powerbomb out of the turnbuckle, but Rey countered into a hurricanrana for the pin. They inserted a clip of Eddie saying he looks back on that match and he knows they didn't have to change anything. Rey said he gets chills thinking about that match and said that's how great Eddie was. TJR THOUGHTS: I think Rey/Eddie at Halloween Havoc 1997 was a five-star match. It's also my favorite WCW match ever. I don't know if it's the match of the year 1997 because we also got Bret Hart/Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 in WWE and Shawn Michaels/Undertaker at Badd Blood 1997 in the first Hell in a Cell match. I'd probably put Hart/Austin on top of the others, but all three matches are amazing. I have not written a review of Rey/Eddie at Halloween Havoc 1997, but I think it's definitely one of the best matches I've ever seen. One of our writers, Alex Podgorsky, reviewed it in depth recently, so check that out if you want some more opinions on it. He did a great job in his review. There was a clip of Eddie saying that people will remember Rey as the giant killer because when the odds are stacked against him, he beats them with a smile on his face. Eddie said he looks up to Rey for that, he respects Rey and Rey is an inspiration to him. REY VS. EDDIE IN WWE 2005 It was noted that Rey joined WWE in 2002, joining Eddie on the largest stage in the world where both men made their mark. Eddie joined WWE two years earlier. In 2005, it was a turning point in both of their lives. Rey said that Eddie would call him "WeeWeeto" (I saw the spelling on a Rey Instagram post) and he said it was a name out of love as well as how spiritual he was. Rey said he called Eddie that too. Rey said that they wrestled so many times, but never teamed up and it was great to kick off 2005 by winning the Tag Team Titles in 2005. Rey said that Eddie wanted to be the bad guy and he knew what he was doing. Rey said his understanding is that the Custody of Dominik (Rey's son) storyline was put together by Bruce Prichard and Eddie. Rey said when Eddie approached him with the story, Rey thought it was really good and then they had to convince Dominik. Dominik Mysterio said that Rey came up to him and asked if he thought about doing some stuff on the show. Dominik said he didn't like being in front of cameras, then Rey said there would be money for him and as an 8-year-old kid he thought that that was fine because that meant more toys. They showed a clip of Eddie on the playground with Dominik where Eddie told him he would tell him a bedtime story and Dominik called him "Uncle Eddie" followed by a hug. Dominik recalled that they did five or six takes, then Eddie would hand him a Twizzler licorice every time. Dominik said that people would ask him who really is his dad, even to this day, and he would always say Rey. "After every take, he'd ask me, "Are you okay?" and then he'd hand me a Twizzler." Learn another side to the infamous 2005 custody battle on #WWEUntold: Rey, Eddie & The Rumble, premiering tonight at 8/7 C on @WWENetwork. pic.twitter.com/mtygt6h7tQ — WWE Network (@WWENetwork) January 19, 2020 (If you weren't watching WWE at the time, it was just a storyline by WWE saying that Eddie was Dominik's biological father. Rey is really Dominik's biological father. Dominik was 8 years old at the time of this storyline. He is 22 years old now – born in 1997 – even though when he was getting beat up by Brock Lesnar on Raw in 2019, they said he was a teenager. WWE can be ridiculous sometimes.) They skipped a lot of the feud, but then they showed August 11, 2005 on Smackdown when Rey suggested a match for the Custody of Dominik and it became a Ladder Match. Rey said when Eddie was motivated, nobody could stop him and when Eddie was on, he was fully focused. Rey added that the fans were listening to everything he had to say. They showed a clip of Eddie doing a heel promo saying Dominik would be the best Guerrero of them all. Rey spoke about how SummerSlam would be the closing of that chapter and he was sad that it was the end of working with Eddie because they would have a different direction after that. SUMMERSLAM 2005: REY VS. EDDIE IN A LADDER MATCH Rey said that they were focused and determined to give the fans a great payoff after four months of that rivalry. Coachman said that the wrestlers realized this was moment in time that they can attack their careers to. There were highlights of the match shown including a spot where Rey hit Eddie with a dropkick off a ladder. Dominik said that it was pretty scary because he knew how crazy those matches could be, so he wanted everything to come out okay and both guys to come out safe. Dominik said that he had this one cue, but he wasn't told what it was and he would just be nudged when it was time. Dominik got the cue (you can see him getting nudged in the crowd), then he climbed into the ring and tried to shake the ladder when Eddie was on it. It was not a hard shake since Dominik was so small. Rey talked about a crazy spot when he landed on the ladder after it fell down where Rey landed right on the ladder. At the end of the match, Guerrero lost because his wife Vickie shoved the ladder over and then Rey managed to climb up the ladder to win the match while Vickie pulled Eddie away. Rey celebrated the win with Dominik to end it. TJR THOUGHTS: They did not show the part of the match where Eddie freaked out because Vickie missed her cue. Eddie was yelling "where the f**k is Vickie?" because she was too late going out to the ring to stop him from getting the briefcase. You can read my full review of SummerSlam 2005 right here. DEATH OF EDDIE GUERRERO Rey spoke about how he found out Eddie died on November 13, 2005. If you don't know, Eddie died due to a heart attack at a hotel in Minneapolis. It was very sudden. They were at a Smackdown taping, prior to a big tour that they were getting ready to do. Rey was getting ready to leave the arena, Eddie was living in Phoenix and Rey was going to connect on the same flight in Minneapolis, so Rey told him he'll see him on the flight. Rey ended up changing his flight, he took a redeye and one of the truck drivers from the crew was helping him with his bags. The guy asked if Rey heard about Eddie, Rey said no and the guy said: "He just passed." Rey said "no" and then he left his bags so he can go over to the hotel. Rey said that he made his way up to the hotel, their doctor, Dr. Rios, was there and they were in shock. Rey said he wanted to see Eddie one more time, so then they let Rey see Eddie and Rey saw him laid out on the floor, then Rey was bawling and crying because he didn't want to believe it. Rey said that Chavo (Guerrero Jr.) was broken, they had lost a fine soul and one of the best friends you can ever have. They showed a clip from November 18, 2005 on Smackdown when Rey talked about how they were going to miss Eddie and he loved him. It was noted on the screen that the Raw and Smackdown rosters left on a European tour just days after Eddie's funeral and they were still trying to process the fact that Eddie was gone. They showed a clip from a Smackdown house show in Milan, Italy where they rang the bell ten times in honor of Eddie. It was Smackdown GM Teddy Long who called for it. Rey noted that it was not easy to deal with, but the one thing that always picked their spirit up is what would Eddie do and what would Eddie have liked? Rey said that Eddie would think that the show goes on, no matter what, the show goes on. They showed Rey in Helsinki, Finland on November 20, 2005 and how the fans saw Eddie through him. Rey said that the fans connected Eddie with him. Rey said that fans would give him condolences for the loss of Eddie and in some way or form, they would feel peace knowing Rey was keeping Eddie's name alive. They showed a promo from Rey where he led the crowd in "Eddie" chants. REY WINS THE 2006 ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH It was noted on the screen that two months after Eddie's death, WWE superstars arrived in Miami, Florida to prepare for the Royal Rumble. There were highlights shown from a Royal Rumble 2006 press conference. The fans were chanting "Eddie" and Rey said he dedicated the Royal Rumble to Eddie because he knows he is watching. Rey said that being part of the Rumble is a way to kick off the year inside the wrestling year. Dominik said the coolest thing is when all the wrestlers are going at it and people going over the top, plus the surprises because you never know who is going to come out. Rey said it was such an incredible vibe and he said he would change nothing about that day. Rey was #2 that night while Triple H was #1. Rey talked about how cool it was to enter with a Low Rider car like Eddie did so many times. Coachman said it was like time stood still to see Rey enter in the low rider. Dominik said that the family came over to watch, which doesn't always happen, but they were excited to see Rey was #2 in the Rumble. Rey said that he was a guy that the fans wanted to see win, but he was not a favorite while noting there were 28 guys following him. They showed Rey eliminating Psychosis with a hurricanrana over the top to the floor. Coachman said when you know you're next, he was thinking 60 minutes plus, but then Big Show eliminated Coach quickly. Coach joked that he felt good about being in the ring for double digit seconds. They showed the spot when Shane McMahon eliminated Shawn Michaels after a distraction from Vince McMahon. There were more clips of the Rumble shown with Coach saying that he had never experienced a night where people in the arena wanted one person to win the match more than the fans wanting Rey to win that night. There were a lot of "Eddie" chants during the match. Coach said sometimes you don't get what you want, so would the fans leave the arena disappointed? The Royal Rumble highlights focused on the final three with Mysterio joined by Triple H and Randy Orton. Hunter and Orton were two of the top heels at the time. Rey talked about hitting a double 619 on both guys and the fans were going crazy. Triple H followed up with a clothesline. Mysterio said he took out Triple H with one of his signature moves (The Jeras – I don't know the Spanish spelling of that). Mysterio hooked his legs under the arms of Triple H and used the momentum to send Hunter over the top to the floor. It was a great bump by Hunter too. The fans popped huge for it. Rey said the rudo (heel) Triple H was out and the technico (face) Rey stays in. Coach put over Triple H for that by saying Hunter was a genius that knew what was needed at a particular moment. Hunter pulled Rey out of the ring and whipped Rey into the steps, followed by Hunter tossing Rey back in the ring. TJR THOUGHTS: What wasn't mentioned here is that even though Triple H lost this match, he still got to wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania 22 in 2006 (read my review here) against John Cena. Meanwhile, Rey wrestled in an undercard match that was too short. Rey talked about how another person that he loved to create magic with is Randy Orton. Orton put Mysterio on his shoulders to eliminate him, but then Mysterio hit a headscissors takeover to send Orton over the top to the floor. Rey put over Orton for his reaction because his expression, mannerisms and the way he moved told you the story of how important it was to win. Dominik said that the whole house exploded when Rey won. They didn't put it over enough in the video, but Rey set the endurance record for the Royal Rumble at 62:12 that night. (Read my review of the 2006 Royal Rumble here.) Rey commented that it was such a big moment that he had to let Eddie know, which meant pointing up to heaven and saluting his late friend. Mysterio said it wasn't just one person in that match, it was two because he felt like Eddie was right there with him. They showed an image of Rey winning the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 22 two months later. That was a great match that also involved Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. There were loud "Eddie" chants that night too as Rey dedicated the title win to his friend Eddie. Always had a hard time wanting to visit Eddie & found myself cowardly refusing it due to the pain & memories from that day………Finally this past Monday, after 13yrs, I had the courage to visit him and have a one on one moment with him…. & …….exactly what I feared of happening, happened. Memories from that day were flashing through my head but his presence was much stronger and was able to cope and maintain my composure. After my conversation & connection with him I left with a Huge internal Smile and felt a soothing & peaceful ! Eddie has been such an inspiration not only to me but to many & will always continue to do so. I witnessed that day, that future wrestlers who never had the opportunity to meet him took the time to stop by and pay their respects wishing they would of had the honor and privilege to have met him & been around him like many of us did! I truly miss you WeeWeeto! #YouWill4EverLiveInOur 's #WeLoveYou A post shared by Rey Mysterio (@619iamlucha) on Jan 30, 2019 at 1:32pm PST Mysterio talked about how in 2019, he visited Eddie's grave for the first time. Mysterio didn't think he would get that emotional, but a lot of memories came through his brain and that's when he started crying. It hits you again where you realize you won't see him again and it feels like day one again. Mysterio said they cried a lot that day. Mysterio spoke to the camera one final time, as if he was talking to Eddie: "Man, Eddie, I miss you bro. Love you." And that was the end. This edition of WWE Untold had a runtime of 36:02 on WWE Network. This was really well done like everything they have produced in the WWE Untold series of shows so far. There was a special bond between Rey and Eddie from the time they feuded in WCW to their WWE friendship as well as a rivalry. They had amazing chemistry together. When Rey talked about how easy it was to work with Eddie, I believe him. The 2006 Royal Rumble match was very good, it was probably the best performance of Rey's career and I like the way it was booked with top heels like Triple H and Orton in the final three with Rey. Most of us assumed that Rey was going to win, but in WWE, you never really know until it happens. They focused on Rey a lot, which was fine and certainly understandable. Dominik Mysterio had some interesting stories to share from his perspective as a kid that was eight years old at the time. I would have liked to hear from others as well. A few comments from Randy Orton and/or Triple H talking about that Rumble match would have been cool. Jonathon Coachman didn't add that much to the presentation of the documentary. Perhaps we could have heard from Bruce Prichard, who played a major part in the Eddie/Rey storyline and they have used Bruce on these shows before, plus if you listen to his podcast you know he's a great storyteller. I guess from WWE's perspective, they don't want to have too many people talking because they want to keep the show at a reasonable length. That makes sense to me at least. This show did a great job of capturing the Rey/Eddie friendship while giving us more insight into the 2006 Royal Rumble as well. They are two of my favorite wrestlers ever, so I really enjoyed watching it and writing about it. I have reviewed previous episodes of WWE Untold as well: * Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon at King of the Ring 2001 * Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) * That's Gotta Be Kane (Kane's Debut at Badd Blood 1997) The post TJR Review of WWE Untold: Rey, Eddie & The Rumble appeared first on TJR Wrestling. Categories Xtremesports Tags Eddie Guerrero, Feature, Rey Mysterio, Royal Rumble, royal rumble 2006, Sport, WWE, WWE Network Shows, wwe untold, Xtremesports TJR WWE Royal Rumble Reviews: 1997 (Austin Wins, Michaels vs. Sid) This was the 10th Royal Rumble event. We are onto 1997 and the World Wrestling Federation is about to turn the corner to be a very successful company once again. A lot of the credit for that has to go to Steve Austin, who was now Stone Cold and was gaining a lot of steam as the guy that everybody in the business was talking about. He was coming off a classic match against Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1996 (I loved it so much that I'd rank it as one of the best feuds in the history of the company) that would make the two of them the focus of this match. The rest of the roster was getting better too. The company wasn't at their best yet, but they were about to get there. The announced attendance for this show at the Alamodome was an impressive number of 60,525 fans. The final numbers saw 48,014 paid attendance, so a lot of tickets were given away. In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter at the time, it was noted by Dave Meltzer that "in the final few days they sold 20,000 tickets, mainly at $5 and $7 with discount coupons from Taco Bell that according to locals were being picked up as fast as they were printed." That makes sense because on Bruce Prichard's "Something to Wrestle" podcast about this show, he talked about how WWE tried really hard to get as many people in the building as they could to make it feel like a big-time show. It was an impressive looking crowd, that's for sure. This show was used to set up WrestleMania 13 (read my review here) although there were a few bumps and lost smiles along the way. WWF Royal Rumble From The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas The opening video package focused on Shawn Michaels coming home to San Antonio to get a rematch for the WWF Title against Sycho Sid. They had an impressive pyro display to start the show in the Alamadome, which is where the San Antonio Spurs played basketball in this era. They had plenty of other events there too. The announcers were Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. This would be the last Rumble where Vince was announcing the show because this was the last year where Vince was a regular announcer. There were also Spanish and French announce teams at ringside. Goldust made his entrance with the lovely Marlena by his side. Was it cold in there? Let's just say she had a very tight gold dress on. A brief video package aired to set up the match. Hunter Hearst Helmsley entered with the Intercontinental Championship and he was joined by Mr. (Curtis) Hughes. Intercontinental Championship: Hunter Hearst Helmsley (w/Mr. Hughes) vs. Goldust (w/Marlena) Pre-match notes: Hunter was the heel champion while Goldust turned face a few months prior to this. Mr. Hughes was only with Hunter for about one week. It was about one month after this when Chyna debuted as Triple H's "bodyguard" of sorts. Hughes did return to WWE for a brief run in 1999. Hunter won the title in October 1996, so it was about three months into his title reign. Goldust attacked in the aisle, then threw Hunter in the ring and threw Hunter back out of the ring. Goldust dropped Hunter throat first across the barricade. Back in the ring, Hunter with an atomic drop, but Goldust came back with a catapult that sent Hunter over the top to the floor. Goldust threw the top half of the steel steps on Hunter's back, the referee Earl Hebner saw it and did nothing about it. Hunter even did a comedic bump into the steps. Hunter came back by choking Goldust on the top rope, but then Goldust hit a running clothesline for two. Hunter knocked Goldust out of the ring, Hunter went up top, which was rare for him, and he hit a double axehandle off the top to Goldust's back. Hunter sent Goldust left shoulder first into the ring post. The fight continued on the floor with Goldust kicking Hunter in the leg and throwing the steps onto the left leg. Back in the ring, Goldust continued to work on the left leg. Goldust slapped on the Figure Four Leglock, Hunter was selling it like he was in a lot of pain and Goldust was forced to let go after holding onto the ropes. The fans were not reacting much to this. Hunter went to the floor, so Goldust hit him with a running shoulder tackle to the back of the leg. Goldust drove Hunter's left leg into the steel steps. The announcers wondered what it would take for a disqualification and they kept saying "this official" instead of Earl Hebner's name. Goldust missed a running charge when Hunter moved, so Goldust bumped to the floor. Hunter whipped Goldust into the barricade, the referee Hebner left the ring so he wasn't counting and Hunter sent Goldust into the bottom half of the steel steps. Hunter sent Goldust into the barricade. Hunter tried to use Marlena's director chair as a weapon, but the referee stopped that. They went to Todd Pettengill talking to singer Colin Ray in the crowd. I have no idea who that is. They went back into the ring with Hunter hitting a knee drop for two as Hunter continued to sell his left knee injury. Goldust with a leaping clothesline followed by Goldust hitting the mat to try to fire up the crowd, so the fans made some noise. Goldust with a back body drop, Goldust went up top for nothing and Hunter shoved the referee into the ropes to crotch Goldust. Goldust with a headbutt, then Goldust stood on the top and missed with a lefty elbow drop that wasn't close because Hunter moved. Hughes tossed the IC Title to Hunter, so Marlena went on the apron and Hughes distracted the referee. Hunter kissed Marlena, Goldust punched Hunter and Goldust hit Hunter with the IC Title. Hughes pulled Hunter out of the ring to save him from the pin. Goldust got Marlena's cigar and jammed it into Hughes' face. Hunter took advantage with a lefty clothesline leading to Goldust doing a flip bump. Hunter hit the Pedigree for the pinfall win at 16:50. Winner by pinfall: Hunter Hearst Helmsley Analysis: *3/4 This was disappointing and boring at times in front of a crowd that was dead for most of it. The opening match needs to be more exciting than this was. Goldust working over the knee of Hunter didn't lead to much other than one submission attempt, so it just felt like filler. They spent a lot of the match on the floor where the referee counted sometimes and did nothing at other times. Hunter got the cheap win thanks to Hughes' presence at ringside. This wasn't that interesting at all. There were some pre-recorded comments from Bret Hart and Mankind talking about the Royal Rumble match. Faarooq made his entrance with the Nation of Domination. He was accompanied by Clarence Mason, Crush, D-Lo Brown, J.C. Ice and Wolfie D, plus some others including a woman. This was before D-Lo was really known as a wrestler. A video package showed what happened between Faarooq and Ahmed. To set up this match. They showed how Ahmed rose to superstardom in 1996, he won the Kuwait National Champion tournament, then he won the Intercontinental Title and then Ahmed had a kidney injury after a Faarooq attack. Faarooq formed the Nation of Domination after that. Ahmed Johnson entered as the opponent and he got a decent pop. He was one of the top faces in the company although he was more popular earlier in 1996. Faarooq (w/Clarence Mason, Crush, D-Lo Brown, J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) vs. Ahmed Johnson Pre-match notes: Faarooq was the heel and Johnson was the face. Johnson attacked with punches right away, which makes sense since he was seeking revenge. Johnson unloaded with punches on Faarooq against the turnbuckle. When Faarooq left the ring, Johnson whipped him into the ring post. Faarooq punched Johnson in the ribs, but then Johnson came back with a clothesline. Johnson got a leather belt that Faarooq was going to use and Johnson whipped Faarooq with it. Johnson sent Faarooq into the steel steps. Faarooq came back by getting a Nation member to distract and he knocked Johnson down with a clothesline. Faarooq gave Johnson a body slam onto the edge of a chair and Faarooq hit the back of Johnson with a steel chair right in front of the referee, who did nothing. Back in the ring, Faarooq worked over Johnson with kicks to the ribs. The pace of this match was so slow as Faarooq slapped on a chinlock in the direction opposite of the hard camera. This lasted a few minutes and it was so boring it was putting me to sleep. Johnson managed to get Faarooq on his shoulders and dropped him in the electric chair drop slam. Faarooq went up top, he jumped right into Johnson's arms for a powerslam from Johnson. There was a whip into the ropes, Johnson jumped for some reason and Faarooq hit a spinebuster. Johnson popped up while Faarooq was trash talking the fans and Johnson hit a spinebuster of his own. Crush was in the ring, so Johnson sent him out of the ring. Other Nation guys went into the ring leading to the DQ finish at 8:48. Winner by disqualification: Ahmed Johnson Analysis: 1/2* This was bad. A stinker. That's not a surprise since Johnson didn't have good matches and Faarooq needed the right opponent to have a good match. They did not have any chemistry. It also didn't help that the crowd was dead for it. This match nearly put to me sleep even when I wasn't tired going into it. The finish was as lame as it gets with the obvious DQ ending. I don't think it was booked well at all. After the match was over, Johnson got his hands on Wolfie D and tossed him onto other guys. Johnson was going after Faarooq, so some guy in a suit attacked Johnson (I don't know the guy's name). Johnson sent him into the steel steps. Johnson picked up the guy on the steel steps and gave him a Powerbomb through the French announce table. This was in the early days of the announce table slams and Ahmed didn't clean the table off before he put the guy through the table. Johnson posed in the ring to end it. Analysis: This was just a way to pop the crowd and make them happy by having Johnson stand tall after the match. There was a locker room promo from Terry Funk saying he was ready to rumble. The Nation of Domination led by Faarooq were interviewed backstage. Faarooq yelled at some of his guys for not protecting him and said he'll get his hands on Ahmed in the Royal Rumble. Vader made his entrance for a match without his manager Jim Cornette by his side. Analysis: The original plans for this show would have had Vader as the WWF Champion defending against Shawn Michaels, but Shawn didn't like working with Vader, so Sid replaced Vader in the feud. It's a shame that Vader never got a WWF Title run because he was so talented. The Undertaker got a huge pop. Taker was alone because Paul Bearer turned heel on him at the previous SummerSlam event. Taker had a scar above his right eye. Vader vs. The Undertaker Pre-match notes: Vader was the heel and Undertaker was the face. It started out as a slugfest with punches, Vader clothesline and Taker sat up followed by Vader knocking Taker down with both arms. Vader left the ring, so Taker hit him with a double axehandle to the back and an uppercut. Vader got a neckbreaker using the ropes for an assist, but Undertaker came back with a leg drop onto the back, which is what Billy Gunn would use as a Fameasser in his career. Vince called it with his "what a maneuver" phrase as Taker followed up with a leg drop. When Taker tried the rope walk move, Vader knocked him down leading to Taker getting crotched on the top rope. Vader punched Taker in the balls, the referee didn't see it (I guess) and Vader took control. They cut to Pettengill interviewing some girl that said that she saved her money to be here to support Shawn Michaels. Vader with a clothesline followed by a jumping body attack off the middle ropes for two. Taker fought his way out of a nerve hold followed by Taker hitting a belly to back suplex. They were both down on the mat selling exhaustion. Vader managed to take control again with an elbow to the leg. Vader took way too long to get to the middle ropes, so Taker hit him with a powerslam off the ropes. Vader came back with a Powerbomb for two as taker sat back up. Vince called it a Vader Bomb even though that is Vader's splash off the ropes. Undertaker hit a leaping clothesline followed by the rope walk routine into a punch to the upper body of Vader. Paul Bearer made his way down to the ring with the urn in his hand. Taker picked up Vader and hit him with a Chokeslam. Taker turned around to see Bearer standing at ringside. Taker hit a clothesline on Vader to knock him out of the ring, then Taker left the ring and punched Bearer to knock him on his ass. Taker rolled Bearer into the ring, Taker choked him and Vader got back in the ring, Taker punched Bearer and a clothesline sent Vader over the top to the floor. Taker ran off the steel steps for an attack, but Bearer moved Vader out of the way and Taker hit the barricade hard. Bearer jumped off the apron with the urn and hit Taker in the head with it. Vader set up Taker by the ropes and Vader hit the Vader Bomb splash off the ropes for the pinfall win at 13:19. Winner by pinfall: Vader Analysis: *1/2 This match was just off. I don't know what happened, but they should have had a much better match here. It was another terrible finish on this show. I don't know who to blame for that. It just felt like a big mistake when they did cheap endings in the two matches we saw earlier in the night and we got another bad ending here. The Undertaker rarely lost clean especially in this era, so that's why they had the cheap ending. This was one of the biggest wins of Vader's career in the WWF even though it wasn't a good match. They had a much better match at the Canadian Stampede 1997 PPV about six months later than this. After the match, Vader quickly got out of there with his arm around Bearer to show they were working together. The Undertaker looked at referee Jack Doan, he was furious about what happened and Taker gave him a very gentle Chokeslam. Undertaker also threw a chair at the ring post. Undertaker got in Vince McMahon's face and said something to him as well. Analysis: It was another post match babyface attack to make the fans happy just like Ahmed Johnson in the match before this. It felt repetitive. Even though The Undertaker lost here, he still got to main event WrestleMania 13 and he won the WWF Title that night as well. There were Royal Rumble promos from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who didn't want to talk. British Bulldog said he was going to win the Royal Rumble because "I'm bizarre." That's an odd reason. Some might say a bizarre reason. Canek, Héctor Garza and Perro Aguayo vs. Fuerza Guerrera, Heavy Metal and Jerry Estrada Pre-match notes: They were Mexican wrestling stars that were brought in to help kill ten minutes on the show. I was not familiar with these guys in 1997, but I know guys like Garza, Aguayo and Estrada went on to have great careers. Aguayo was 51 years old at the time of this match. There were some quick moves early on, then a tag with Aguayo chopping Estrada and then Estrada ran him over. JR claimed Aguayo won over 30 mask matches in his career. Aguayo with a back body drop on Estrada over the top to the floor. Canek and Guerrera were in the ring as the only two masked men in the match. Guerrera with a body slam and then he missed a splash off the top. Canek hit a cross body block off the top, but then they tagged out. Metal with a spinning heel kick followed by a cartwheel into a back elbow. Garza with an arm drag off the top. Metal jumped off the ropes to avoid a move, the fans were dead quiet and Canek faced off against Estrada. Canek with a two dropkicks, then an armbar and the fans barely reacted to anything. Estrada got a rollup for two. Guerrera with a running dropkick on Aguayo, who came back with a hard chop and then Guerrera hit a running knee. Aguayo with a hiptoss, Guerrera with a hard slap and then Guerrera missed a diving attack, which led to him going to the floor. Canek with a leg drop on Metal, Garza with a splash on the leg and a jumping clothesline. Aguayo with a Samoan Drop and senton splash on Metal. Canek with a press slam on Guerrera, Aguayo hit the world's slowest dive on Guerrera on the floor. Canek with a press slam on Metal, Garza missed a splash and Metal saved himself from being sent out of the ring. Garza went up top and hit a splash onto Metal on the floor. Canek with another press slam on Metal. Aguayo went for a double foot stomp off the top on Metal, but he barely connected and then Aguayo hit an elbow drop for the pinfall win at 10:56. Winners by pinfall: Canek, Héctor Garza and Perro Aguayo Analysis: *1/4 This was a boring match in front of a dead crowd. It was weird because every time they would do some spots, they would just tag out and there was no flow to the match at all because of it. The finish sucked. This was a bad idea on this show. The announced attendance was 60,477 people with Howard Finkel thanking the fans on behalf of the WWF. The fans barely cheered that. 30-Man Royal Rumble Match The intervals for entrants is 90 seconds. I like 90 seconds more than the typical 120 seconds and a lot better than the one year they did 60 seconds. There's a better flow to the match when it's 90 seconds between entrants. It's Crush of the Nation of Domination at #1. This is the third different gimmick of Crush that has been in a Rumble. He's a heel here. It's Ahmed Johnson at #2, who was an upper midcard babyface that was feuding with the Nation in this time period. Crush tried to eliminate him, but he couldn't do it. There was a problem with their clock, but the #3 man is the fake Razor Ramon and Ahmed quickly eliminates him. What a stupid gimmick idea that was. Johnson nearly eliminates Crush. Johnson sees Faarooq, jumps over the top rope and eliminates himself. Randy Savage did that in a previous Rumble and they said you can't eliminate yourself, but that changed. "He is an idiot," says Lawler. That's an accurate observation right there. It's Phinneas I. Godwinn aka PIG at #4. We would come to know him as Mideon in the future. This was not an exciting 90 seconds. The glass breaks at #5 for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Suddenly the match becomes a lot better. Thank you Stone Cold. He gets a heel reaction although it's not deafening. The turn would come in a few months. Phinneas takes him down with a clothesline. Austin goes to double team Phinneas, but he hits Crush and Phinneas throws Crush out. Austin hits a Stunner (without the kick at this point in his career) on Phinneas and throws him out. With Austin all by himself in the ring, the #6 entry is Bart Gunn of the Smoking Gunns tag team. He hits a sloppy leg drop on the back of the head. He charges in, Austin ducks, Bart holds on and Austin clotheslines him out. Austin does pushups in the ring and then sits on the top rope waiting for the next guy. In a classic move, he looks at his wrist as if he's looking at his watch. I'm such a huge Stone Cold mark. It's Jake Roberts at #7, who is in his 6th Rumble. He throws the snake in and then he applies a wrist lock for about a minute before hitting the short clothesline. With Davey Boy Smith coming in at #8, Austin throws out Jake Roberts. Bulldog hits a running powerslam. There's Pierroth at #9 from Mexican promotion AAA, according to JR. Austin hits a double axe on him, but they get Austin down. The #10 entrant is The Sultan, who was also Fatu and Rikishi. He's wearing a mask now and he's got the curved toe boots like his manager The Iron Shiek. It was not a gimmick that would last a long time. Austin nearly gets eliminated by Bulldog, but he hangs on. Our fifth man in the ring is #11 Mil Mascaras. The San Antonio crowd is familiar with him because he was a Mexican wrestling legend. Lawler immediately talks about somebody unmasking him. He goes after the Sultan while the other three guys don't do much on the other side of the ring. It's Hunter Hearst Helmsley at #12. He retained the IC title earlier in the show. Bulldog eliminates The Sultan. Austin throws out Hunter, but he's able to hang on. These two might have a future. It's Owen Hart at #13, who was one of my favorites at this time. He was the tag champ with Bulldog at this point. They're heels, of course. Bulldog tries to eliminate Austin, so Owen comes up from behind and shoves Bulldog out. Owen claims he was going for Austin. "Owen hasn't told the truth since The King was a Prince," says JR. Haha, that's a good line. It's Goldust at #14, who was a babyface feuding with Triple H here. Mascaras tries to get Owen out. He's able to hang on. All six guys start fighting eachother before they pair off again. There's Cibernetico at #15. They had a thin roster, so they brought in these Mexican stars since the San Antonio crowd was familiar with them. Helmsley hangs on from a near elimination. It's "Wildman" Marc Mero at #16. While this is going on, Mascaras eliminates Cibernetico, and then Pierroth and then he leaps over the top to take out Pierroth, which eliminates himself. He so crazy! Goldust eliminates Triple H with a clothesline. We're about a year away from Sable's breasts being among the most talented superstars in the company. It's Latin Lover at #17. That's another import from AAA. He drills Owen with a superkick. Goldust tries to throw Owen out, but Owen skins the cat back in. He eliminates Goldust with a club to the back. There's Faarooq at #18 as a heel. The Latin Lover charges at him and Faarooq dumps him out with a backdrop. Ahmed Johnson comes into the ring with a 2×4. It's Hacksaw Ahmed Johnson and he knocks Faarooq out of the match. I never liked that when an eliminated guy can eliminate a guy that's in the match. Austin gets rid of Owen & Mero. We're down to just Austin in the ring now. The clock counts down and here's #19…Savio Vega. They had a feud in 1996. Vince calls their strap match a classic, which is a major stretch. Vega gets him down with a spin kick. Austin catches him with a Stun Gun (a big move of his in his WCW days) and clotheslines Vega out of the ring. The crowd reacts to Austin being alone again. He waves for the next guy to come. He has about 30 seconds before the next guy enters. It's #20 Jesse James, who is not yet the Road Dogg. He would be in a year. He gets a clothesline on Austin as well as a strut. Austin kicks him in the ribs, throws him over the top, JJ holds on and Austin knocks him out with a back elbow. He's all alone again. What a great performance by Austin. The entrant at #21 is his biggest rival in the company…Bret Hart. Vince starts yelling "YES! YES! YES!" Austin has a classic expression on his face, showing some fear. That's an awesome moment right there. Then he gets ready and they start slugging away. Bret hits an atomic drop and clothesline. He beats on Austin in the corner. Austin's selling fatigue while Hart is all over him. He puts him in the Sharpshooter. The music plays for #22 and it's Jerry Lawler, who is at the announce table. He takes off his jacket, jumps into the ring, Bret punches him once, Lawler doesn't go over, but he hits him again and Lawler is out. The announcers say they think he broke a record. Nope. This was four seconds or so. Warlord still had the record at two seconds. There's "Diesel" at #23, who is actually Glenn Jacobs aka Kane and Isaac Yankem. He looks like Diesel and dresses the same as him. It's Terry Funk at #24, who was in the WWF fairly regularly at this point. Vince was so excited about Diesel almost throwing out Bret. The announcers tried to put over how Bret was complaining about being in the match. It was the start of his heel turn. Funk hits Bret with a very sloppy piledriver. At #25 take it away Vince: "Here comes Rocky Maivia, the rookie! This man can win this thing!" You think they believed in his potential? It's Austin and Rocky brawling. This was The Rock's very early babyface run that the fans would eventually hate and turn him heel. Bret tries to throw Funk out, but he hangs on. Rock tries to get Austin out. Can't do it. Those are four of the best wrestlers ever right there. And there's Kane too. That's five legit Hall of Famers, really. King doesn't remember that he was in there. That's pretty funny actually. The #26 man is Mankind, who is another Hall of Famer. That's a lot of talent in the ring there when you think about it. Mankind tries to get rid of Funk, but he can't do it. Big suplex by Austin on Hart. It's Flash Funk aka Too Cold Scorpio at #27. He was a newcomer to the WWF at this time. Hart hits an awesome piledriver on Austin. Flash takes out two guys with a crossbody block. We've got three guys left and at #28 it's time, it's time, it's Vader Time. He's a heel in the upper midcard. Mankind holds on from elimination from Terry Funk. Vader destroys Flash and then squashes Austin just for fun. It's the hog farmer Henry O. Godwinn at #29. Vince is excited. He's probably doing the "don't go messing with a country boy" dance right now. We all know who the last man is. It's a big name at #30…The Undertaker. The lights go out and he enters the fray rather slowly. He's a babyface here. I honestly think that 1997 was the best year of Undertaker's career. He was healthy the whole year, he had a lot of good matches and didn't really have the ridiculous feuds that hurt him over the years. The Undertaker goes after Vader, Mankind and Austin, hitting Stone Cold with a chokeslam. He hits Vader with a chokeslam. Things slow down for a bit and then there's an awesome elimination by Vader. Flash Funk jumps into him with a crossbody, Vader catches him and he chucks him over his head, over to the top and he goes crashing to the floor. That was fantastic. They mention Austin being in the ring for over 40 minutes while The King picks everybody to win. Rocky nearly eliminates Bret, but he hangs on. I marked out a little seeing Austin, Rocky and Bret interact right there. Those are Austin's two best opponents. Imagine that as a triple threat dream match? Undertaker puts the double choke on HOG and throws him out of there, which leaves us with seven guys. Undertaker nearly dumps Austin, but he holds on. Mankind puts the Mandible Claw on Rocky and shoves him over the top to the floor. Funk and Mankind enjoy brawling with eachother. Mankind does the Cactus clothesline on Funk, but they both hold on. Mankind pulls him over the top, suplex style. Undertaker dumps Mankind, who starts brawling with Funk on the floor. It's down to five men left in the match. It's going to be Diesel! He's going to yank out your teeth and then drive over them with his truck! Oh wait a second. Bret throws out Austin to a big pop! The refs don't see it, though, because they're all on the other side of the ring breaking up the Funk/Mankind fight. Austin sneaks back in the ring and he dumps Vader and Undertaker as they battled by the ropes. Bret eliminates Diesel. Austin goes over to Bret and dumps him out of the ring for the win. The ref raises Austin's hand as the winner of the match. Winner: Steve Austin The match ended at 50:29. Post match, Austin's hand was raised as the winner of the match. Hart was furious about what happened. Bret tells the refs (Mike Chioda and Jimmy Korderas) about how he eliminated Austin and Bret goes over to Vince and starts yelling at him. This was around the time when they would make mention of Vince being the owner of the company. It was part of the WWF becoming an edgier product. Bret yelled at Vince about how he should do something about it. Vince: "Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct." JR says he's got a heck of a grudge, but he points out that the referees never saw the elimination. That led to replays about the controversial finish. Analysis: The original plan was for Bret Hart to win the Royal Rumble. The plan changed when Vince Russo was on WWE Livewire, said he picked Bret to win and apparently that pissed off Vince McMahon to change the finish to the screwy win for Austin. They were going to do Bret challenging Shawn Michaels for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 13, but the changed too due to Shawn's knee injury and the "losing my smile" speech. FIVE RANDOM THOUGHTS on the Royal Rumble match – I liked the finish. It was different and it made me want to see what was going to happen next. It also put over how great Austin's character was. The Rumble's about making stars. This helped propel Austin to the level that we'd all see him at for his main event run. They ended up doing the Final Four PPV with Austin and the three guys he illegally eliminated: Bret, Undertaker and Vader. It was supposed to be a number one contender's match, but with HBK "losing his smile" it was for the vacated WWF Title. Bret won the match and then lost the next night to Sid, who reportedly shit in his trunks (if you want to believe that story) while he lost the WWF Title to Undertaker at WM13. Confused? It's okay. We got the Hart/Austin WM13 match that I consider to be one of the best matches ever, so thanks to HBK for losing that smile. – Steve Austin was fantastic. This was a breakout performance for him. The spots where he was alone in the ring were great. I remember popping huge when Bret's music hit and Austin had this "oh shit" look on his face. It's one of those images you never forget. Austin's work in the ring was great, but his facial expressions were very key to his success too. It helped his personality really get over. – If you look at some of the people in this match, it's easy to see that things were getting better in the company compared to the lack of talent in the previous four Royal Rumble matches. A lot of the wrestlers were yet to be elite by this point, but they were about to get there in the coming years. It's cool to be able to look back on a match like this and see future main eventers before they got to that level. There are a lot of legitimately huge names in the match. The talent on the roster was very good from this point forward and into the early 2000s. – I thought Jerry Lawler did a great job as a heel announcer. He really shined here with some of his jokes especially his comments about what he'd do if he got in there, which he said AFTER he got eliminated. Also, I really didn't miss Vince when he stopped doing commentary. – The crowd was poor. They didn't react to very much for such a big crowd although that was a problem for most of the night. FACTS & OPINIONS about the Royal Rumble match Person that lasted the longest: Steve Austin at 45:07. Most Eliminations: Steve Austin with 10. Best Performers (3): Steve Austin – This was the second-best Rumble performance by a single person in the history of the Rumble to this point. Ric Flair in 1992 was better, but this was very close. Bret Hart – I loved his chemistry with Austin. It doesn't get much better than that. Owen Hart – He was only in for about 9 minutes. Nobody else stood out. I enjoyed his heel shtick so much, though. Best Elimination: There were some really good ones. My favorite was Vader throwing out Flash Flunk. That looked very painful. Match Rating: ***1/4 The match had its slow points, but Austin really did an amazing job of carrying it. I've always liked this Rumble because it is one of the most unique endings they have ever booked. It's controversial and some people may hate that. I don't mind it, though. I give WWE credit for being creative with it. The announcers talked about what happened with Vince pointing out that a lot of fans were booing about the finish of the Royal Rumble match. Lawler kept saying that the referee's decision was final. A video package aired to set up the WWF Championship match with Sycho Sid defending the title against Shawn Michaels. Sid won the WWF Title from Michaels at Survivor Series 1996 in a pretty good match that I rated 4* out of 5. Sid won the match after knocking Shawn's manager Jose Lothario down and then using a camera to hit Michaels. This was the rematch. An interview aired from earlier in the day with Shawn Michaels talking about how he had the flu, but he would be ready for the match later in the night. Michaels said he'll feel like the Heartbreak Kid, like San Antonio's own and like the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Shawn Michaels and manager/mentor Jose Lothario were shown walking backstage in the Alamodome to make his entrance for the main event. There was a huge pop for the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, who was the top babyface in the company at this point. Michaels had a great 1996 where held the WWF Title for about eight months. Michaels kissed his mom at ringside. I assume those were his parents. There was a nice pyro display for Shawn when he got in the ring. Analysis: Michaels was my favorite wrestler in the WWF at this point. I think Steve Austin was catching up for sure, but I was a huge Michaels fan because of how great he was in the ring. This was also a time when I didn't really read about wrestling on the internet (that would start later in 1997), so I had no idea about his bad attitude that was reported on all the time. That stuff didn't matter to me. Michaels was legitimately sick all day leading up to this match, so they gave him medicine to make sure he was able to compete. Sycho Sid made his entrance with the WWF Title around his waist. He was booed by the crowd. Sid dumped a lot of water on himself before the match. WWF Championship: Sycho Sid vs. Shawn Michaels (w/Jose Lothario) Pre-match notes: Sid was the heel WWF Champion that won the title two months earlier at Survivor Series. It was Sid's first reign as the WWF Champion. Michaels was the babyface former champion. Michaels with a running cross body block followed by some head slamming into the mat. The fans were popping for that as Michaels kicked Sid out of the ring. Michaels sent Sid into the barricade, but then Sid whipped Michaels into the side of the ring. Back in the ring, Michaels jumped off the top and Sid hit a sloppy powerslam. Sid slapped on a weak looking Camel Clutch submission followed by Sid jumping on Shawn's back followed by another Camel Clutch. When Michaels got out of it, Sid whipped Michaels into the turnbuckle leading to a big bump over the top to the floor. Sid drove Michaels back first into the ring post two times. Sid slapped on a chinlock, Michaels fought back with punches and then Sid stopped that momentum with a clothesline. That drew a lot of boos from the crowd as Sid got a two count. The rest holds continued as Sid slapped on a bearhug as the camera showed Shawn's parents in the crowd. Michaels broke free briefly, but then Sid slapped on the bearhug again as the camera showed a closeup of Shawn's mom in the crowd. Michaels got back up, he jumped off the ropes and Sid slapped on a bearhug for a third time, which led to a two count for Sid. A leg drop by Sid got a two count. Michaels got some offense going with punches followed by a body slam, whip into the ropes and Michaels hit a forearm to the face followed by a kip up to a huge pop. Michaels went up top and hit the lefty elbow drop. Michaels did the elbow drop well with both arms in his career. Sid blocked a superkick attempt and gave Michaels a back body drop over the top to the floor. Sid went after Michaels on the floor and gave him a Powerbomb on the floor. Sid protected him there by holding on the back until the last possible moment. Sid grabbed Jose Lothario at ringside, then Jose's son Pete went after him and Sid grabbed Pete too. Pat Patterson tried to get Sid to stop, Sid kicked him and Sid just threw Michaels back in the ring. They did a spot where Sid whipped Michaels into the turnbuckle, but Shawn bumped into referee Earl Hebner, which took out Hebner. Side hit a Chokeslam for a two count as referee Mike Chioda went into the ring to count the pin. It was a delay, so the story was that Sid would have won if the referee was there right away. Sid punched referee Chioda and knocked him out of the ring. Sid went over to Jose on the apron, Michaels grabbed a TV camera from ringside and Michaels hit Sid in the back with it. Michaels hit Sid in the chest with the camera as well. The fans popped huge for this. They were going wild as Michaels covered Sid and referee Hebner slowly crawled over for the one, two…and no because Sid got his shoulder up. Great nearfall there. Michaels set up for the Sweet Chin Music superkick and he connected with it. Michaels covered Sid for the one…two…and three. Huge pop from the crowd for Shawn's win at 13:49. Winner by pinfall AND NEW WWF Champion: Shawn Michaels Analysis: **1/4 The match was just decent, which is disappointing to say when it's a Shawn Michaels match. It was probably the worst main event level match that Michaels ever had because he was such a great performer in the big matches. The reason this was lacking is probably due to Sid not being that good in the ring, plus Michaels legitimately had the flu, so that likely affected his performance. I liked how the finish was booked with the camera as a factor since that played a part in their last match with Sid winning. Michaels winning the WWF Title here was obvious since he was the babyface in his hometown. It just made sense to do the title change here. The crowd response for the title change was by far the best crowd reaction of the night. After the match was over, Michaels hugged Lothario and Shawn was given the WWF Title. It was Shawn's second time winning the WWF Title in his career. The fans were cheering loudly for San Antonio's won Michaels winning in his hometown. Michaels went over to his mom and dad to greet them with hugs. Lawler said that makes him sick seeing that. Michaels went over to some fans in the first row that were part of his family and also some of his friends. Michaels even hugged Vince McMahon at ringside leading to Vince's laugh. They showed more replays of the finish. Analysis: This was well done in terms of showing how big of a title win it was for Michaels. The broadcast ended with highlights from the show. This event had a runtime of 2:52:06 on WWE Network. Show rating (out of 10): 4.5 It was a below-average show. I always have a bit of sentimental value when it comes to this event because of how much I liked Steve Austin and the way the Royal Rumble match finish was booked. I mentioned earlier in the review that it was a breakout performance for Austin and Bret Hart was terrific too, in terms of setting up his heel turn over the next few months. The finishes of a lot of the matches were poor, though. There were a lot of heel wins and/or cheap endings that the fans hated. That's partly why the massive crowd was dead for most of the night. They did pop for the main event, even though it was one of Shawn Michaels' worst main event matches because he was sick. The event looked impressive visually inside a dome, but it was not a great show.

You can check out John's full in-depth report here. We start things off with the Smackdown intro and pyro before Kane makes his way to the ring. Kane cuts a decent promo on the upcoming Royal Rumble before being interrupted by The Firefly Fun House. Wyatt cuts a quick promo before the lights go out in the arena to signal The Fiend's appearance. Kane was waiting for him and Daniel Bryan attacked The Fiend before he could retreat down the hole in the ring. Bryan pulled on Fiend and go some hair before he was able to escape. When we get back from break, Kane and Bryan are backstage with Kayla Braxton and Bryan issues a challenge for a Strap Match at the Rumble. Our first match of the night has Big E taking on John Morrison in his first WWE match in eight years. We get a decent back and forth match while commentary fills in the background of Morrison for those who have not seen him before. Side note, I'm not sure what happened to Kofi's head, but it wasn't pretty. The finish was set up with Miz distracting Big E so Morrison could get the upper hand and land Starship Pain for the pinfall. We will likely see a tag title match coming soon between the two teams, likely after the Rumble. We get a quick video package with the history for tonight's table match and promo from Roman Reigns before heading into a break. The Usos had their match against The Revival. The match was as good as expected for the little amount of time they were given. The Usos picked up the win in this short match. Kayla caught up to The Revival about their match. The Revival started to cut a promo on tag team wrestling when the cameraman bailed to catch the fight down the hall between Lacey Evans, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. It is broken up quickly and Sasha is holding her ankle. Quick recap on the Otis/Mandy Rose happens from last week before a quick promo from Fire and Desire with Sonya asking Mandy to have Otis come out for her match against Alexa Bliss later. Back in the Trainer's Room, we find Sasha icing her ankle down talking to Bayley about what Lacey just did. (Smackdown GM) Adam Pearce shows up and told Sasha that her match with Lacey was still on tonight, but Bayley was taking her place. The girls are upset and Pearce tells Bayley the match is not for the title but it is next. Can we just make him the Smackdown GM and use him like NXT does with Regal? Shows up only when needed to progress an angle. He's done that several times in the past couple of weeks now. Bayley is coming out by herself for her match with Lacey. The match was pretty good as the fans are buying the Lacey face turn. Bayley still seems to be struggling a bit with the heel turn. Lacey wins the competitive match after Big Showing Bayley with the Woman's Right. We go backstage and find out that Kayla Braxton has been cloned into Alyse Ashton (really?) to interview Shorty G about Sheamus. Gable cuts a quick promo and Sheamus shows up to make more short jokes, although the height difference is not that significant as compared to Corbin. A quick scrum between the two gets broken up to send us to break. Back from break and the real Kayla Braxton is interviewing Braun Strowman about his desire for an Intercontinental title match anytime and anywhere. Elias is in the ring for a song only to be interrupted by Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro. Zayn addresses the Strowman challenge by saying no. Zayn and company go to leave Elias to do whatever and Elias starts to sing a song about the trio. Cesaro runs down to the ring to attack Elias before Nakamura and Zayn join in. Strowman comes to the ring to help out Elias. Zayn bails and Strowman tosses Nakamura and Cesaro out of the ring, Royal Rumble style. We can pencil in the tag match for next week. A nice video tribute to The Rock's father, Rocky Johnson, plays to honor his passing on Wednesday. Sonya Deville was in the ring with Mandy Rose waiting for Alexa Bliss to come out with Nikki Cross. Heavy Machinery comes out after the match started and Otis would catch a falling Mandy to allow Alexa to roll up the distracted Sonya for the win in what felt like an angle more than a match. Quick Royal Rumble preview leads us to the main event, Roman Reigns versus Robert Roode in a Tables Match. The winner gets to pick the Reigns/Corbin match stipulation for the Royal Rumble. Roman and Roode have a really good match before Corbin and Dolph Ziggler show up as expected. Roman gets triple-teamed before The Usos show up on the delay run-in. The Usos take out all three with superkicks before putting Ziggler through the announce desk with a double splash off the barricade. Corbin, like usual, had run away so Roman could spear Roode through the table for the win. After the match, Roman picks the stipulation of Falls Count Anywhere to close out the show. Let's look at tonight's highs and lows: The Highs Outside of the Sonya/Bliss angle match, there was really decent in-ring action this week. The Table match and Big E/Morrison were pretty solid contests. Effective use of Adam Pearce again as the "authorityish figure" to set up the Bayley/Lacey match. This should be a good role for him going forward, as long as they don't overdo it like they usually do. The Usos/Revival match was just too short this week. It was a really good match for the time given, but it would have been better with some extra time. That's all I've got this week, until next time.

This is THE most-talked about wrestling match of the past decade. When it happened, everyone was talking about it like it was the new standard bearer for all future wrestling matches. It was an anomaly, a spectacle, a legendary performance. It was so good that it officially 'broke the scale' and was awarded six stars out of five by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Only one televised match had gotten that rating beforehand, and that was back in 1994. This is the match that got the whole world talking and brought considerable international exposure to New Japan Pro-Wrestling. It's the first in a series of four legendary matches: Omega vs. Okada I. This match took place on January 4, 2017, at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. As a reminder, I am reviewing Five Star wrestling matches as rated by Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer. It goes back to the 1980s and I'm going to pick different matches from different eras to see how they look today. Check out previous entries in my 5 Star Match Reviews series right here. The story here is simple. Omega won the 2016 G1 Climax tournament, becoming the first foreigner to do so. His main event push began earlier when he ousted AJ Styles from the Bullet Club in early 2016 and gradually rose to the top thereafter. Meanwhile, Okada was on a roll in his fourth run as IWGP Heavyweight Champion and was taking on all-comers. They do ring entrances and Omega's opens with a shot-for-shot remake of the first Terminator film, with him playing the role of Arnold. As his video ends, it shows the line "New Legend is About to Begin". Truer words have never been spoken. Omega appears with a half-face terminator-style mask and fake shotgun, looking totally badass. Meanwhile, Okada comes down and it is literally raining Okada dollars. He pauses before entering the ring because he knows how big this match is going to be. Omega shows some subtle storytelling by crunching a piece of Okada money and tossing it at Okada. The match starts with a long stare-down and some fake out attempts at a Greco-Roman knuckle lock. They begin chain grappling and Omega stars wrenching Okada's arm. Okada with a leg takedown but Omega reverses into a cross armbreaker attempt. Some quick transitions occur and Okada cinches in a grounded side headlock. Omega tries to pin but Okada gets up before the ref can even count one. Omega pulls Okada's hair to escape the headlock and continues attacking the arm and the neck. They trade strikes for a bit before Omega locks in a headlock of his own and refuses to let go, even as Okada back suplexes him. Okada tries the headlocked suplex again but Omega escapes. An Irish whip reversal occurs and Okada tries to send Omega into the turnbuckle but Omega kicks him away and does a springboard sunset flip attempt, but Okada blocks it and does a jackknife pin for two, but Omega powers out to everyone's amazement and does a backslide for a two-count of his own. I love the way Omega drags his feet and 'runs in place' to put extra force into his pin. They get up and Okada hits two hip tosses followed by an armlock, but it gets broken in the ropes at the five-minute-mark. Okada taps on Omega mockingly and taunts him. Okada answers an Irish whip with a huge shoulder block. Omega ducks a big boot and whips Omega into the corner again. He looks like he's going to do the top-rope dropkick but Omega kicks Okada away. Omega teases the One-Winged Angel (OWA), but Okada escapes and tries the Rainmaker lariat, which Omega breaks from and spits on Okada and mocks him by doing his own rainmaker taunt. Omega does out of the ring to recover as the Young Bucks cheer him on. Omega stalls ringside until Okada comes after him, and after ducking some moves Omega runs into a huge big boot from Okada. Snapmare by Okada followed by a huge and very loud dropkick to Omega's head. They both go out of the ring and Okada whips Omega hard into the steel ring barricade. Okada tries a running kick but Omega catches him and teases a vertical suplex onto the barricade, but Okada reverses that into a huge Randy Orton-style draping DDT from the barricade onto the ringside mats. As Omega recovers, Okada brings out a table. After a brief struggle, Omega tries to throw Okada over the barricade but Okada reverses that sending Omega over the barricade instead. Then Okada hits a huge running crossbody over the barricade onto Okada at the ten-minute mark. Okada's in control back in the ring and slams Omega then hits a senton atomico for a one-count. Okada locks in a chinlock with his knee deep in Omega's back. Omega struggles to escape, so Omega hits a swinging neckbreaker for a two-count. Omega fights back with forearms then gets a second wind and hits a dropkick to Okada's knee followed by a jumping legdrop bulldog for two. Omega stomps away on Okada and then hits a brutal chop to Okada's chest once he's standing followed by a forearm to the back. Omega slams Okada and tries a great Muta-style flashing elbow but Okada dodges and tries a senton but Omega dodges that, so Omega throws him into the ropes and hits another forearm to the back for a two-count. Omega tries to hit the forearm again but Okada blocks it and charges but eats a knee to the gut from Omega instead. Omega attempts Aoi Shoudou (cross-legged fisherman buster) but Okada kicks his way out of it, only to walk into a snap hurricanrana at the fifteen-minute mark. Okada rolls out of the ring as Omega rises like the terminator. Omega runs and hits an enormous suicide dive that makes the Undertaker's look weak by comparison. Omega's in control as he scoop slams Okada onto the ring apron and he lands right on the spot Omega hit with his earlier forearm strikes. He rolls Okada into the ring and then Omega hits a huge diving dropkick to the back of Okada's head. Wow, that looked vicious. It almost looked like Okada got whiplash, that's how his head snapped from the impact. Omega goes for a pin but Okada grabs the bottom rope, much to Omega's frustration. Omega goes for another pin but Okada kicks out. Omega drags Okada to the middle of the ring and applies a modified chinlock that Omega keeps locked in until the ref makes him break the hold at the ropes. Omega teases a powerbomb but Okada won't go up do Omega strikes his head some more. Omega tries to knee Okada in the head but Okada grabs his leg, hoists him onto his shoulders and hits a Heavy Rain neckbreaker slam that closely resembles an Attitude Adjustment. They both get up after a while and Okada begins his comeback with running forearm strikes, followed by a DDT and a Shawn Michaels-style kip-up. A basement forearm smash gets another two-count for Okada. Omega begins a comeback of his own at the twenty-minute mark but walks into a flapjack from Okada. Okada locks in the Red Rink submission hold and Omega looks like he's fading until he gets a sudden burst of strength that slows him to reach the rope and break the hold. Omega charges Okada but walks into a tombstone attempt, but Omega struggles so Okada reverses that into the Reverse Neckbreaker to the knee. The fans – who have been pretty vocal for a Japanese crowd so far – are starting to come unglued. Okada ascends the top rope and tries the diving elbow drop but Omega gets his knees up at the last second. Omega hits a single-knee pumphandle backbreaker and Okada rolls out of the ring, so Omega hits a running baseball slide dropkick to the back of Okada's head, which sends Okada over the barricade towards the announcer's table. In the ring, Omega has a devilish grin on his face as he signals to the crowd that something's coming. As soon as Okada's back on his feet, Omega springboards onto the top rope and hits an Asai moonsault over the barricade onto Okada. Holy shit, what a move. Omega recovers in the ring as the ref begins the ring count. Okada struggles to make it back, so Omega puts the table on a supine Okada and hits a diving foot stomp from the apron onto the table (and Okada). Wow, that was nuts. Omega tosses Okada back into the ring and hits a kneeling powerbomb for another two-count. Still in control, Omega deadlifts Okada and hits the Dr. Wily Bomb for a 2.8-count. Meanwhile, the Young Bucks, who are still ringside, setup the table from earlier. Omega teases using the table but he struggles to get Okada into position for it, so Omega stomps and knee strikes Okada instead. He whips Okada into a corner and charges but Okada boots him in the face and tries to gain some momentum, but Omega reverses this into the 'you can't escape' fireman's carry slam/moonsault combo for another 2.8-count. Omega smiles devilishly as he tries the dragon suplex, but Okada keeps escaping it. Okada dodges a corner charge and puts Omega onto the top turnbuckle and dropkicks him out of the ring. Okada's in control now as he lifts Omega onto his shoulders and teases throwing him into the table, but Omega reverses that and tries the OWA into the table, but again Okada powers out. Omega tries a springboard move but Okada catches him on his shoulders Cena-style, but Omega reverses and keeps fighting, until he tries a running charge but Okada back body drops him over the rope, out of the ring and through the table. Good God, what a move. Omega landed so hard he cut a massive hole into that table. The Young Bucks are with Omega warning him about the referee's count. Then Okada comes out (presumably because he wants the satisfaction of actually pinning Omega) and drags Omega back into the ring. Then Okada perches himself on the top rope and hits an enormous diving shotgun dropckick to Omega's chest. Wow, Omega was hit so hard he flipped backwards. Okada pins but gets a two-count as the crowd awakens again. Okada hits the diving elbow drop followed by his rainmaker pose. Okada sets up the Rainmaker lariat but Omega reaches the ropes. You can hear the Young Bucks will Omega on. Okada tries the Rainmaker again but Omega ducks and pushes him into the corner. Omega tries to lift Okada onto the top turnbuckle but Okada's holding on for dear life. Omega looks to be spent as we reach the thirty-five-minute mark. Omega slaps the hell out of Okada and places him on the top turnbuckle and teases some move but Okada powers out. A frustrated Omega continues to hammer away at Okada's lower back. Then, with all the strength he has left, Omega joins Okada on the top rope and hits a dragon suplex from the top rope. Sweet Jesus, Okada landed right on his neck. And yet somehow, Okada STILL kicks out at 2.8. Omega continues attacking Okada's neck with the Aoi Shoudou and charges for a V-Trigger, but Okada dodges and hits a German suplex and tries the Rainmaker again, but Omega dodges and hits a V-Trigger knee against the ropes and goes for another, but somehow Okada musters enough strength to his hit perfect standing dropkick. Now both men are down. Okada tries the Rainmaker for the fourth time but Omega kicks his arm away but Okada blocks one V-Trigger, but can't block a second one, and then Omega hits a Poisoned Frankensteiner, dropping Okada on his head again. Omega does the bullet club taunt and hits the V-Trigger knee again. Omega hoists Okada onto his shoulders, hooks the head and lands the One-Winged Ang—no, Okada jumps out of it. Okada attempts a V-Trigger again but Okada catches him and drops Omega with a Tombstone! Rainmaker pose! Okada hooks the wrist! Rainmaker! That's it! Match over! Cue the 'they killed Kenny' jokes. The referee counts one…two…thr—NO! Omega kicks out! Omega kicks out! Incredible! How did he do that?! The crowd has exploded and I agree with them. Okada stares into space with a look of concern as we reach the forty-minute mark. Omega is still down, selling the rainmaker as if it had just crushed his windpipe. Okada takes a long time to grab omega by the hair to pick him up, but Omega starts fighting back. Okada has had enough of this and dropkicks Omega so hard he goes flying across the ring into the opposite corner. The fans in the arena are on their feet. Okada picks up Omega slowly for the Tombstone, but Omega powers out and reverses it into a double cradle piledriver of his own but that gets a 2.9-count. Both of them are on their knees and start brawling with each other. They keep brawling until they're both standing. Neither man wants to show anymore weakness. Fighting spirit! Then out of nowhere, Omega ducks a forearm and hits a snap dragon suplex followed by a V-Trigger shortly thereafter, but that also only gets 2.9. Omega hits another V-Trigger to Okada and lifts him for the OWA yet again, but Okada holds on while on Omega's shoulders, refusing to let Omega wrap his arm around his neck. Okada struggles until he falls off and lands on his feet and lands a huge Rainmaker lariat. Both men are down as Okada crawls slowly towards Omega. He grabs the wrist again and prepares for another Rainmaker but omega kicks his lariat arm away. Okada maintains wrist control as Omega kicks away at Okada's head and brutalizes Okada with three V-Trigger-like knees to the side of the head. But Okada still has plenty of fighting spirit left and hits a third Rainmaker lariat onto Omega. Okada then goes for his fourth Rainmaker but Omega ducks it, then Omega tries his own Rainmaker but Okada ducks that. Okada goes for a Tombstone but Omega escapes, so Okada charges and runs into a standing dropkick from Omega, who then does the Rainmaker pose to Okada. Then Omega grabs the wrist and hits a Rain-Trigger knee. Wow, that was brutal. Omega tries the OWA YET AGAIN, but Okada reverses it into a spinning Tombstone piledriver, and then delivers a fourth and massive Rainmaker lariat. The referee counts one…two…three! That's it! The match is over! The camera pans to the crowd and there are fans with tears in their eyes! The fans give both wrestlers a standing ovation. Winner and still IWGP Heavyweight Champion after 48:25: Kazuchika Okada HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS SPECTACULAR! That did indeed live up to the hype. They more than delivered. Okada and Omega put on an instant classic that set a new standard for main event, world title matches. The story in this match was beautiful. It was a well-crafted tale of teases, reversals, kick-out sequences, and above all, insane toughness. This is a classic made of the same structure as the All Japan Pro-Wrestling classics of the 1990s. Everything in the opening minutes was done to establish dominance, followed by a lengthy weakening segment, and finally a long and insanely dramatic closing sequence that left the fans on the edge of their seats. There was also an underlying story that demonstrates perfectly how to craft an intricate wrestling story through showing without telling. Omega was the underdog in this match challenging the champion and company ace. Omega took absolutely everything from Okada; it took Okada hitting every single one of his biggest moves – including four of his killer rainmaker lariats – to keep Omega down for the count. But Omega never hit his ultimate finisher, the One-Winged Angel. Omega teased it several times but Okada fought out of it on every occasion. At the time of this match – and at the time of this writing – no one in NJPW has ever kicked out of the OWA. If Omega hit that move in this match, it would've led to a different ending. But we didn't see that move hit, which leaves the door open for a rematch down the road. The final ten minutes were of the best moments ever seen in a wrestling ring. Everything after the top rope dragon suplex was insane. So much unpredictability, so many reversals and counter-reversals, you never knew when or how the match would end. And unlike in WWE, in which a roll-up would be seen as a weak finisher, in this match Omega and Okada had demolished each other so badly that a simple roll-up or cradle could be believable as a finisher. I only have on real gripe with this match, and that's Omega's selling of exhaustion. Omega was on offense more than Okada in this match, yet he took his fair share of insane moves. Yet whenever Okada went for his running strikes – especially his V-trigger – he'd move around with the same energy and speed as he had earlier in the match when he had taken less damage. It made him look like he was barely in pain, despite taking an inhuman amount of punishment. Had he moved more slowly later on in the match, Okada's offense would've looked more brutal and would've made Omega's exhaustion feel more real. But that minor gripe doesn't take away from what is arguably the best match in Wrestle Kingdom history. Final Rating: ***** I don't think it's proper to rate anything on a 5-star scale beyond five stars. This was a perfect wrestling match and deserves all the praise that was heaped on it and on the wrestlers involved. This was simply outstanding, especially in the final ten minutes. These two had awesome chemistry and it showed in how well they knew each other's big moves and how to try and steal them as well. If you want to watch a clinic on how to craft an unpredictable wrestling contest filled to the brim with believable near-falls, watch this contest. It serves as a template on how to do that and more. Highest recommendation possible. Thanks for reading. Check out previous entries in my 5 Star Match Reviews series right here.

Speaking of the Royal Rumble, I'm reviewing every Royal Rumble this month in detail, so please check out those reviews if you're feeling like checking out some Royal Rumble history. I don't expect to get all the reviews posted before this year's Royal Rumble show, so some of them will be after the 26th and likely into February. I never said I would get them all up before this year's Rumble anyway. I'm already reviewing so many things every week, plus news posts and other stuff in my life. It gets to be a lot, but I want to finish those Rumble reviews. The good thing is I already have the last ten years done, plus a few in the 2000s, so I'll get there when I can. Now let's get to Smackdown. Live from Greensboro, North Carolina, this is Smackdown for episode #1066. Follow me on Twitter @johnreport. Please visit TJRWrestling.net daily for our regular updates on the wrestling business featuring WWE news coverage along with reviews about wrestling's past and present. Thanks to Melo Man for the banner up top. There was a nice pyro display in the arena in Greensboro to get the crowd fired up. The announce team of Michael Cole and Corey Graves promoted the matches coming up on this week's show. Let's Hear from Kane Kane made his entrance to wear the show and he was wearing the red/black Kane mask along with the Kane wrestling gear. That's gotta be Kane, but if you want to call him Mayor Glenn Jacobs that's okay too. Kane said we are nine days away from his favorite event of the year, the Royal Rumble. Kane said that 30 lost souls will put their mind, body and spirit on the line for an opportunity of a lifetime and a chance to compete at WrestleMania. Kane said that it's a match where you go through hell, but the reward is a chance at immortality. Kane noted that he holds the record for most career Royal Rumble eliminations and said he understands how important the match is. Kane said he watched his opponent's WrestleMania dream turn into a nightmare all because of him and he admits it was a lot of fun. Bray Wyatt interrupted the promo as a Firefly Fun House video played. Wyatt said that Kane hasn't changed a bit, but it's never nice to brag and find joy in another person's misery. Bray said "shame on you, you big bully." Wyatt said he's glad Kane is there. Wyatt assured us that Ramblin' Rabbit is alive, well and recovering quite nicely as they showed Rabbit hooked up to a machine. Wyatt said that he doesn't think winning the Royal Rumble is a great idea especially if the winner is foolish enough to challenge for this (the Universal Title) at WrestleMania. Wyatt noticed the framed Kane picture on the wall and he said that means Kane and The Fiend "got it on." Wyatt said he'll never forgive you Kane and they showed clips of Wyatt beating Kane at SummerSlam years ago. Wyatt said "where oh where has my monster gone" and said "neither will he." The lights went out in the arena, the fans screamed and when they came back on there was a red light as Kane stood outside the ring as The Fiend emerged from under the ring. Kane turned around to face The Fiend as fans chanted "yes" and Kane asked: "What took you so long?" Fans chanted that because Daniel Bryan was in the ring with a running knee attack on Fiend. Bryan attacked Fiend with punches, so Fiend went down in the hole in the ring and Bryan pulled off some dreadlocks off The Fiend's head. Bryan held up The Fiend's hair and celebrated with "YES" chants with the fans joining him. Kane joined Bryan in the ring as the former Team Hell No celebrated in the ring. Analysis: That was an interesting opening segment with Kane delivering a good promo about his Royal Rumble history although he didn't say he was in the Rumble match. It was also a case of Kane and Bryan outsmarting The Fiend with Bryan ready to help Kane. They book The Fiend strong all the time, so I don't mind seeing him getting his ass kicked occasionally. Plus, it was a little bit of a Team Hell No reunion, which is always nice to see. John Morrison vs. Big E is the first match after a break. (Commercial) Daniel Bryan and Kane were shown backstage arguing about who was the tag team champion like they used to do. Kayla Braxton showed up to interview Bryan, who said that The Fiend is the best at running away and disappearing. Bryan wondered how do you beat somebody who disappears every time he's in trouble? Bryan said he had an idea that isn't a good idea or a smart idea, but he's challenging The Fiend to a strap match at the Royal Rumble. Bryan said that they will have a strap tied to their hands and they will go to war until one man wins. Bryan said he's done with the mind games, he's done with the running and he's done with Wyatt disappearing in the damn hole. Bryan said that The Fiend changed him and at Royal Rumble, Bryan will change The Fiend and win the Universal Championship. Analysis: I really liked the intensity in the promo when Bryan was putting over the violent nature of a Strap Match. It's been a long time since WWE has had a Strap Match and I think it's fitting for that title match at the Royal Rumble. Big E made his entrance along with Kofi Kingston, who has blonde dreadlocks now. They are the Smackdown Tag Team Champions as Cole plugged New Day's podcast along with Corey Graves' podcast. John Morrison made his entrance with The Miz joining him. Morrison has his "This ain't no make believe" theme song and the slow motion pose entrance is back with him too. It is Morrison's first WWE match after eight years. They showed a replay of last week's Smackdown when Morrison helped Miz beat Kofi Kingston. Big E (w/Kofi Kingston) vs. John Morrison (w/The Miz) The match started as the announcers talked about parkour training that Morrison does as Big E hit Morrison with a shoulder tackle. Morrison worked over Big E with kicks to the face followed by punches, a kick to the back while on the apron and Morrison delivered a neckbreaker off the apron onto the floor. That was a unique spot. Morrison remained in control as they returned from break with a Morrison hitting a jumping knee followed by a standing Shooting Star Press. Big E used his power to get back up, Morrison was quick to get to the ropes, he missed a diving attack and Big E hit a belly to belly suplex across the ring two times. Morrison with an eye poke that the referee didn't see, Big E with a back body drop and Morrison flipped into a face first ending. Big E with a running splash, Morrison with a kick and neckbreaker for two. Miz was on the apron, Kingston pulled him down, Kingston shoved Miz into the steel steps and Morrison hit an impressive twisting dive onto Kingston on the floor. That drew a big reaction. Miz moved Morrison out of the way of a Big E attack, Morrison with a kick to the face and a running knee. Morrison went to the ropes for his twisting Starship Pain splash for the pinfall win after eight minutes. Winner by pinfall: John Morrison Analysis: *** This was pretty good with Morrison getting a chance to show off his athleticism throughout the match. The Starship Pain finish isn't the best finish because it barely connects sometimes, but it looks flashy. It was also smart to have Miz help win the match to give that heel duo some momentum. Since Miz beat Kofi and Morrison beat Big E, it should lead to a SD Tag Team Title shot very soon. Morrison celebrated with Miz while the announcers really put over Morrison on commentary. They showed a video package of when Roman Reigns took out Robert Roode on Smackdown seven weeks ago. That was done to explain Roode's absence due to a 30-day Wellness Policy Violation. Roode came back last week to join his buddies Corbin and Ziggler in attacking Reigns as well as The Usos. They put Reigns through a table. I thought it would lead to a six-man tag team match this week, but it led to a Tables Match with Reigns and Roode. Roman Reigns was joined by cousins The Usos for a backstage segment. Reigns said he's going to win this match and pick his stipulation against King Corbin. The Usos welcomed The Revival to…and Reigns said "The Uso Penitentiary." That tag match is next. The announcers congratulated Fox NFL announcer Jimmy Johnson on his upcoming Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. He a very successful coach. Good for him. The Usos entered to a nice pop while The Revival were introduced as the opponents. No trip for Dash Wilder on the entrance. That was scripted a few weeks ago. Last week on Smackdown, The Revival helped King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler against The Usos last week, but then Roman Reigns knocked out The Revival. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) vs. The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) Jimmy locked up with Dawson as the announcers talked about how things haven't gone well for The Revival of late. Jimmy with an uppercut punch on Dawson, Jey tagged in with a forearm on Dawson. The Revival took control with Dawson hitting a slingshot suplex and Wilder hit a splash as they isolated Jey in the heel corner. Jey with a spin kick to Dawson, which led to Jimmy getting the hot tag. Jimmy with punches, kicks and a Samoan Drop for Wilder. Jimmy went up top with a cross body block for a two count. Dawson blocked a Jimmy kick and Wilder got an inside cradle. Jimmy tossed Wilder down, double superkick on Wilder and a double superkick on Dawson. Jimmy got the tag, Jey hit a suicide dive on Wilder and Jimmy hit a Superfly Splash on Wilder for the pinfall win after five minutes. What was funny about that is that Jimmy stared right at the camera as he did his leap and stuck his tongue out like Michael Jordan. Well done by him. Winners by pinfall: The Usos Analysis: **1/2 This was fine for the time given. These teams have had better matches together, but it's tough when you only get five minutes. I wish they got more time because getting five minutes felt too short. They did make the most of their time and had an exciting finish with The Usos getting the predictable win. The Revival may lose every match they have in the coming months since their contracts are up in April and there's no indication that they are staying in WWE. I'm glad The Usos are break. They have been sharp since returning to action. Look Michael, we've got a flying Uso. pic.twitter.com/S09wv9VTu8 — WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) January 18, 2020 Still to come: Roman Reigns vs. Robert Roode in a Tables Match. There was a graphic from WWE saying they have reached 20 million Instagram follows as one of the most followed sports leagues beating UFC, MLB, NHL and NFL. Analysis: I guess the NBA is ahead since they weren't mentioned. What's interesting about that is WWE will call themselves a "sports league" sometimes while other times they will shy away from being called a sport. It's whatever is convenient for them at the time. The Revival were shown walking backstage with Kayla Braxton going up to them to talk about their loss. Scott Dawson said that they will have to make a change and Dash Wilder said that the company cares about them as much as they care about the tag team division. While they were talking, there was a commotion down the hall. There was a shot of Lacey Evans getting in a fight with Bayley and Sasha Banks. It looked like Banks was on the ground grabbing her ankle as referees showed up to break it up. They showed clips of Otis helping Mandy Rose beat Alexa Bliss last week because Bliss was distracted by Otis eating a cake that Mandy gave him. Mandy liked that she won the match. Sonya Deville was warming up for a match with Mandy Rose going up to her. Rose said this will be their year, Fire & Desire 2020. Deville asked if Otis wants to be ringside for her match. Deville said that she figured out why Mandy is being nice to Otis…because it helps Mandy win matches. Mandy said she'll ask him, but she doesn't know if Otis will do it and Sonya felt confident that if Mandy asks, he'll do it. Sonya left. Analysis: I actually like how they are building the Mandy/Otis story that will likely lead to Rose/Deville splitting up as a team soon. More backstage segments as Sasha Banks and Bayley were talking in the trainer's room. Banks had ice on her right ankle to sell whatever attack just happened moments earlier. Banks said that Evans doesn't deserve a match with her because Banks is busy making her album and music video. Bayley said it didn't matter if Evans is a mom or a marine, she's going to break her ankle. Adam Pearce (a WWE Producer) walked up to them in a suit. Pearce said that for two weeks, Evans vs. Banks was promoted and it hasn't happened, so Bayley will face Evans instead. Bayley said that she's not putting the title on the line, Pearce said the title isn't on the line, but that match is next. Bayley wasn't happy about that. Analysis: That was a good use of Pearce. I know most WWE fans don't know him since his wrestling career was in other companies (mostly ROH), but once in a while you need an authority figure on the show to advance the storylines a bit. The announcers talked about the next match being set up with Cole thanking WWE Official Adam Pearce for making this match. Bayley walked out alone with the Smackdown Women's Title and she did not look happy about having this match. Lacey Evans got a decent ovation from the crowd. Bayley vs. Lacey Evans This is not for Bayley's Smackdown Women's Title. Bayley was aggressive with forearms, but Evans came back with a clothesline and headscissors takedown that sent Bayley to the floor. Evans with a knee to the face followed by two pin attempts that got two counts and then the referee caught Bayley trying to cheat. Bayley sent Evans into the middle rope followed by some hair pulling. Bayley slapped on an armbar, Bayley with a back elbow for a two count and Bayley jumped on Lacey's back to weaken her some more. Evans got a rollup for two. Evans came back with a kick to the ribs, two running clotheslines and an arm wringer put Bayley down. Evans sent Bayley across the ring followed by a kick to the chest. Evans hit a jumping splash on Bayley against the turnbuckle. Evans jumped to the top, she tried a moonsault and Bayley got her knees up to block it. Bayley was on offense with shoulder tackles, but then a corner charge missed and Bayley hit the middle turnbuckle. Evans kicked Bayley out of the ring, but then Bayley hit a neckbreaker using the ropes for an assist. Bayley with a belly to back suplex, shoulder tackle and a running back elbow. Bayley with a jumping back elbow off the middle ropes for a two count. Bayley went up top, she missed a cross body block because Evans moved. Bayley sent Evans into the turnbuckle, Bayley ran the ropes and Evans hit the Woman's Right punch for the pinfall win a Winner by pinfall: Lacey Evans Analysis: *** That was really well done with Evans having her best showing as a babyface so far, at least in a singles match. I like the fire that Evans showed when she was making her comebacks and they put her over huge with the Woman's Right punch for the win. Bayley was terrific as the heel leading the match. You can tell that Bayley gets more comfortable in the heel role every week. The champion losing non-title to build up to a title match is not fresh and I hate that WWE does it as often as they do it, but that's what they love to do. The crowd support for Evans is getting stronger, so the booking is working. Evans celebrated the win while the crowd gave her a big ovation for the victory. A new woman broadcaster named Alyse Ashton was backstage to conduct an interview. Shorty G was interviewed about Sheamus attacking him two weeks ago. Shorty said that Sheamus came back after months and the first thing he did was reject his own insecurities by attacking Shorty while he was already down. Shorty said if you accept who you are and embrace it, you've already won. Shorty said he knows Sheamus is big and a decorated athlete while Sheamus showed up asking if anybody has seen Shorty G. Sheamus said he heard Shorty squeaking from across the room. Sheamus threatened him, then tapped him on the head saying "alright, fella" and Shorty tackled Sheamus. Referees and security showed up to break it up while Sheamus was angry about it. Analysis: That will set up Sheamus vs. Shorty G in a match at the Royal Rumble PPV. That should be an easy win for Sheamus. It was announced that Becky Lynch will be on WWE Backstage on Tuesday night on Fox Sports 1. I believe CM Punk was advertised for it a few days ago, but he was not shown on the graphic. Braun Strowman was interviewed by Kayla Braxton backstage. Strowman said he was entering the Royal Rumble match. Strowman talked about how he wants the Intercontinental Title held by Shinsuke Nakamura while noting he has pinned Nakamura twice now, so he wants his opportunity, any time, any place. Analysis: It makes sense to do so Strowman vs. Nakamura. Strowman has not won a singles title in his WWE career, so that will probably be his first title win. Elias was in the ring with his guitar doing one of his songs. Elias said for him to reach where he has to go, there needs to be a truth in every arena and it's that WWE stands for (fans) Walk With Elias. Elias sang about walking in Greensboro, he said you'll never guess what he saw and here comes Shinsuke Nakamura. Sami Zayn led the Intercontinental Champion Nakamura and Cesaro into the arena as the fans booed them. Zayn said what he had to say is far more important than what Elias is doing, so he told the fans to shut their mouths. Zayn said that they are dealing with Braun Strowman saying he wants a shot at Shinsuke Nakamura for the IC Title. Zayn said "absolutely not" to Strowman getting a title shot at Nakamura and said that he calls the shots around here, then he said "we" call the shots around here. Zayn reminded us that Nakamura actually won the Royal Rumble match and Zayn said that the WWE roster has officially been put on notice. Zayn said he made his point, so Elias can go back to doing whatever he does there. Elias said that he was listening and writing a song at the same time. Elias said his song is called "Sami Zayn needs to shut his damn mouth" and the chorus is "Shinsuke sucks." Elias played the song on the guitar, Zayn told him to stop and told Cesaro to show Elias what they do to funny guys around there. Cesaro went into the ring to attack Elias, then Nakamura joined in and it was a 2 on 1 attack on Elias that became 3 on 1 when Zayn joined in. Braun Strowman's music hit as the Monster Among Men made his way down to the ring. Strowman avoided a double clothesline and hit a double shoulder tackle on Cesaro and Nakamura while Zayn left the ring. Strowman sent Cesaro and Nakamura over the top to the floor to preview what can happen in the Royal Rumble match. The heels retreated as Cole said that Strowman is the odds-on favorite to win the Royal Rumble match. Analysis: It was fine as a segment to promote the Royal Rumble match. I think Sami Zayn is one of the best talkers in the company right now because he's a heel that knows how to piss off the fans and has no interest in being the cool heel that pops the crowd. It also set up Strowman to save another babyface in Elias due to the heels using the numbers game. It's basic pro wrestling booking here. A video tribute aired to celebrate the life of the "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson, who is The Rock's dad. He passed away on Wednesday at the age of 75. Rocky was a great athlete that made history in 1983 as the first ever African-American Tag Team Champions with his partner Tony Atlas. There was a huge pop for that title change. The video also focused on Rocky and ex-wife Ata having a son Dwayne, who went on to become The Rock. They showed the clip from WrestleMania 13 when Rock and Rocky beat up the bad guys. They also showed a clip of the 2008 Hall of Fame when The Rock inducted Rocky Johnson into the WWE HOF. That night, Rocky said he wanted to be remembered for paving the road for all athletes no matter the race. The fans in the arena gave a standing ovation and chanted "Rocky" for him. Analysis: Most of Rocky Johnson's career was before my time as a fan because his tag team title win was when I was three years old. I read a lot about him this week and I thought Dave Meltzer did a great tribute to him in the Wrestling Observer this week. When watching the highlights, it was easy to see Rocky had a great physique, natural charisma as a babyface and a lot of fan support. The Rock went on to become a bigger star obviously, but clearly Rock learned a lot from Rocky and I'm sure Rocky was very proud of his son. Condolences to The Rock and all of Rocky Johnson's family. Sonya Deville was in the ring with Mandy Rose by her side. Alexa Bliss entered as the opponent with Nikki Cross joining her. The Heavy Machinery team of Otis and Tucker showed up to support Sonya because Otis likes Mandy. Alexa Bliss (w/Nikki Cross) vs. Sonya Deville (w/Mandy Rose) Rose was on the apron to distract, so Deville kicked Bliss followed by a running knee for two. Deville grabbed a headlock, Bliss with a drop toe hold and punch to the face followed by a basement dropkick. Bliss tried a DDT, Rose went to the top rope as if she was going to jump off in her street clothesline, Cross punched Rose and Otis caught Rose. Deville hit Bliss with a clothesline. Otis was sticking out his tongue while he was holding Rose. While that was happening, Bliss capitalized with a ROLLUP OF DEATH~! on Deville for the pinfall win after two minutes. Winner by pinfall: Alexa Bliss Analysis: 3/4* A quick match that felt like a backdrop only to advance the story of Otis having a crush on Mandy, yet it cost Sonya the match. The ROLLUP OF DEATH~! is overdone and very lame because it's the second week in a row they did it. The story will likely be that Otis is able to help Mandy win, but he can't seem to help Deville, so it should lead to the Rose split with Deville soon. Post match, Deville was mad about her loss while Bliss left with Cross. Robert Roode was in the locker room with his buddies King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler showing up for a pep talk. Roode said he was waiting six weeks for this match with Reigns. Corbin talked about picking a stipulation for his match with Reigns and that Roode has to win the match by putting Reigns through a table. They ended it saying when that happened it will be absolutely…glorious. They showed a clip from earlier in the show where Kane had a staredown with The Fiend, which led to Daniel Bryan attacking The Fiend with the running knee and punches. The Fiend escaped by going under the ring while Bryan ripped out some of The Fiend's hair. It's official for the Royal Rumble with The Fiend facing Daniel Bryan in a Strap Match after Bryan requested the stipulation. Also, Sheamus vs. Shorty G is official for the Royal Rumble. Lacey Evans also gets a Smackdown Women's Title match against Bayley at the Royal Rumble. Analysis: I feel like I can already predict that Sheamus vs. Shorty G will be the shortest match at the Royal Rumble PPV. Roman Reigns made his entrance for the main event. Good pop for the Big Dog as he put down his fist on the stage to set off some fireworks. As Reigns got close to the ring, Reigns ran down to the ring to punch Reigns in the back. The match began there. Tables Match: Roman Reigns vs. Robert Roode The winner of the match is the first man to put his opponent through a table. There were tables all around the ringside area. They went into the ring with Reigns connecting with punches followed by a clothesline. Roode dumped Reigns out of the ring, Reigns knocked Roode out of the ring with a punch and Reigns set up a table on the floor, but Roode fought back by sending Reigns into the steel steps. Reigns sent Roode into another set of steel steps. They went over to the announcer's table, Reigns cleared off a bit of it, but then Roode whipped Reigns into the steel steps. Roode brought a table into the ring leading to Reigns hitting a Drive By kick on the apron. Reigns ran around the ring, he went full speed with a Spear, Roode moved and Reigns went crashing through the barricade at ringside. King Corbin made his entrance (while his music played) and Corbin was on his sedan carried by his security guys. That led to a break. The match returned with Roode teasing a superplex on Reigns through a table in the ring, but Reigns blocked it. Reigns with two headbutts, Reigns set up for a Powerbomb through a table, but Roode punched his way out of that. Each guy tried moves through the table and then Roode flipped the table over. Reigns whipped Roode shoulder first into the ring post. Corbin was alone now, standing on the ramp to support Roode. Reigns set up a table against the turnbuckle, then Reigns left the ring and connected with a Superman Punch. Reigns put Roode back in the ring, Roode was right in front of a table and Corbin distracted Reigns while Ziggler went into the ring with a superkick on Reigns. Corbin worked over Reigns with punches. Ziggler cleared off the announce table as Corbin sent Reigns into the ring post. Roode went up top, but was never going to hit a dive and The Usos hit Roode with a double superkick. The Usos hit superkicks on Corbin and Ziggler to send them into the barricade. Jimmy and Jey put Ziggler through the announce table with double Uso Splash on Ziggler through the table. Back in the ring, Reigns hit Roode with a Spear through the table. Huge pop for the win for Reigns. The match went 11 minutes. Winner: Roman Reigns Analysis: ***1/4 I thought it was an enjoyable Tables match. Roode is always capable of having good matches and putting a guy over like Reigns, who worked his ass off in this match. Both guys went all out here. The Spear into the barricade looked brutal, but obviously it doesn't hurt that much since the barricade is thin. I'm just saying they made it look like a big deal. The interference was obvious because it fits what they have done in the past, but having The Usos there to even the odds allowed Reigns to get the win. The crowd is strongly behind Reigns these days due to the booking, but also being aligned with his cousins The Usos again. This was booked well. The win by Reigns means he gets to pick the stipulation for the Reigns/Corbin match at Royal Rumble. Reigns said that the Royal Rumble is in a baseball stadium and that place is huge. Reigns said the stipulation for their match will be a Falls Count Anywhere match. The fans cheered. Corbin was angry about it. Reigns celebrated with The Usos to end the show. Analysis: That stipulation means the Reigns/Corbin match will have a different since it's Falls Count Anywhere and they can brawl around the stadium. It wouldn't surprise me if Corbin actually won the match perhaps by getting some help from other wrestlers and then Reigns could win the Royal Rumble later that night. That way, it can continue the rivalry. I don't really want Corbin to win. I'm just saying that's the kind of booking WWE does sometimes in situations like that. Three Stars of the Show John Morrison – His first WWE match in 8 years. I think he deserves it! Robert Roode The Scoreboard 7.25 out of 10 Last week: 6.5 2020 Average: 6.67 Last 5 Weeks: 6.5, 6.25, 6.5, 5.75, 6 I give this week's Smackdown a 7.25 out of 10. This was a pretty good show with some quality in-ring action all night long (aside from the short Bliss/Deville match) and I thought the promo segments were all effective in terms of advancing storylines. It was good to see Kane working with Daniel Bryan again as well. I was also impressed by Lacey Evans, who had her best showing as a babyface so far with Bayley doing well as a heel. John Morrison was impressive in his first WWE match in about eight years. I thought the Reigns/Roode main event Tables Match was booke really well from start to finish and the crowd was into it. They did a nice job of promoting the matches at the Royal Rumble as well although just like on Raw, the women's Royal Rumble match is barely mentioned. The next WWE pay-per-view is the Royal Rumble on January 26th in Houston, Texas. Here's what we know so far. Men's Royal Rumble Match – Entrants include: WWE Champion Brock Lesnar (entered himself at No. 1), Roman Reigns, King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Elias, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Otis, Tucker, Rusev, Bobby Lashley, Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy. That's 19 names on WWE.com list. There are 11 more to go. Thanks for reading. Go reigning NBA Champions Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs. My contact info is below. The post The John Report: WWE Smackdown 01/17/20 Review appeared first on TJR Wrestling. Categories Xtremesports Tags Feature, SmackDown, Sport, TV Shows, WWE, Xtremesports TJR WWE Royal Rumble Reviews: 1996 (Michaels Wins Again, Bret Hart vs. Undertaker) It's 1996 and the World Wrestling Federation is coming off one of the worst years in the history of their company. This year wouldn't be that much better in terms of making money, but they were starting to build a better roster. While WCW was getting hotter and building their audience, the WWF was still trying to figure things out. I think 1996 was a better year for the WWF creatively than the previous three years, though, so that's a positive thing looking back on it. This was the year when future main eventers like Steve Austin and Triple H made their Rumble debuts while Shawn Michaels was in the position to get that big babyface push after years of being a heel. We also saw guys named Rocky Maivia and Mankind show up later in the year. Plus, there were main event stalwarts like Bret Hart and The Undertaker in the main event of this show. All of that means things were getting better for the WWF. There are still a lot of bad gimmicks in this Rumble, though, so be warned because some of the names might scare you. This show was used to set up WrestleMania 12, which is a show I reviewed many years ago like all WrestleManias and you can read about it here. From Selland Arena in Fresno, California The show began with Sunny in a bathtub and holding a glass of champagne saying, "viewer discretion is advised." They were not yet pushing the edginess of the product with women on the show, but they were utilizing more women as we'll see later. There was an opening video package promoting the big matches at the PPV as well as the Royal Rumble match. The announcers were Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect, who was just okay as an announcer. Jerry Lawler was a better announcer, but they needed him in the Rumble match. Perfect's long run in the company was over in November of 1996. He did come back in 2002. Jeff Jarrett made his entrance for the opening match. They showed clips of Jarrett beating up Ahmed Johnson at the previous In Your House event to set up this match. I don't remember that angle. Ahmed Johnson got a nice pop from the crowd and he ran down to the ring to start the match. Ahmed Johnson vs. Jeff Jarrett Pre-match notes: Johnson was the face and Jarrett was the heel. Johnson was aggressive early, Jarrett bailed to the floor, Johnson chased after him and got a hiptoss when they got back into the ring. Ahmed countered a headlock by tossing Jarrett across the ring. Johnson was in control with multiple shoulder tackles followed by a forward slam for a two count. Johnson with a jumping clothesline, then he charged, Jarrett moved and when Johnson was on the floor, Jarett hit him with a clothesline. Jarrett whipped Johnson into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Jarrett jumped onto Johnson's back, then Johnson no sold three double axehandle moves and Johnson hit an atomic drop followed by a clothesline. Johnson hit a spinebuster that looked good. Jarrett to the floor and Johnson jumped over the top onto Jarrett, which was an impressive dive. Johnson went up top for a spinning splash, but Jarrett moved. That led to Jarrett slapping on the Figure Four Leglock by Jarrett although Johnson reversed it after about 30 seconds. Jarrett worked over the left leg of Johnson until Johnson kicked him out of the ring. Jarrett went up top with his guitar, Johnson turned around and Jarrett crushed the guitar on Johnson's head. The referee Jimmy Korderas saw it, so Jarrett was disqualified at 6:40. Analysis: *1/4 This was a boring match. That's not a surprise when Johnson was involved since he rarely had good matches. The finish was lame too. They were trying to push Johnson during this period, but they didn't even give him a clean win here, which is a bit of a surprise. After the match, Jarrett got to the back while Johnson ran to the back to get him. They showed replays of Jarrett's intentional DQ finish with the guitar. Diesel was interviewed by Todd Pettengill in the locker room. Diesel said he didn't know what he was going to do next, but he'll have the time of his life. Diesel talked about Shawn Michaels winning last year, Vader is a big guy that has to prove himself and Diesel said it looks like Big Daddy Cool time instead of Vader time. Diesel said he didn't have a problem with The Undertaker, he just has a problem that he's the number one contender and said that Bret Hart and Undertaker can't match up to him. Analysis: They were planting the seed of the Diesel feud with Undertaker. There will be on that later in the show. The Bodydonnas entered led by their manager Sunny. She was easy on the eyes at this point in her life. She was very popular with the male audience, that's for sure. Sunny did a promo about how Skip (Chris Candido) and Zip (Tom Prichard) were going to win the tag team titles. The Smoking Gunns entered as the champions to a decent pop. WWF Tag Team Championships: The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) vs. Bodydonnas (Skip and Zip) w/Sunny Pre-match notes: Skip and Sunny were the heels although Sunny got cheered a lot because she was a gorgeous woman. The Smoking Gunns were billed as brothers, but they were not related at all. They were the babyface champions in their second reign as champions and they were about four months into this title reign. Skip with a headscissors, Billy with a back body drop and Skip sent Billy over the top to the floor. Double back elbow by Bodydonnas on Billy, then Bart sent both Bodydonnas on the floor and Billy hit a sloppy looking dive onto the heels on the floor. Billy and Bart took turns working over Skip with punches. Sunny tried to distract the Gunns, she even did a booty shake and Bart worked over Zip with chops followed by a press slam. Skip got the blind tag with a running clothesline, Billy tagged and the Gunns hit a double clothesline into a slam similar to the Hart Foundation's old finishing move. Sunny was on the apron, Skip was whipped into the ropes and Sunny bumped to the floor. Billy went to check on Sunny, so Skip and Zip attacked Billy. Skip hit a dive over onto Billy on the floor. Skip slammed Zip onto Billy for a two count. Zip also slammed Skip onto Billy for a two count. The heels double teamed Billy by sending him into the turnbuckle repeatedly followed by Zip slapping on a chinlock. Vince said that Sunny "was very impressive" and I think that's a good way of putting it. Skip tagged in with a body slam, he actually slipped getting to the middle ropes and then he hit a fist drop for a two count. There was a double team flapjack by the Bodydonnas as the camera showed Sunny jumping around at ringside. Billy managed to get away from the heels leading to Bart getting the hot tag. Bart with punches, then a back body drop on Skip and a back elbow on Zip. Billy went into the ring where Zip hit a back body drop on Skip by accident, body slam on Zip and Billy went to the middle rope for the double team leg drop, but Sunny distracted the referee. Skip jumped off the top with a forearm to the back of Bart for a two count. The Bodydonnas did a double back body drop on Bart, but Billy saved his partner from a double suplex. Bart got a sloppy looking inside cradle on Skip for the pinfall win at 11:14 while Billy tackled Zip to prevent a save. Winners by pinfall: The Smoking Gunns Analysis: **1/2 The match was okay with the champs retaining because the Smoking Gunns were pushed the most during this period. The Bodydonnas worked well as a team that benefitted from having a manager. They did a good job utilizing Sunny at ringside for distraction purposes. The finish was a bit flat with Bart getting a weak looking pinfall to win. They should have booked a better finish there like when Billy hit the leg drop or something that was a bit more creative than this. Anyway, it was solid tag team wrestling. They showed the Billionaire Ted "Wrasslin' Warroom" videos featuring parodies of Ted Turner, Hulk Hogan (The Huckster), Randy Savage (Nacho Man) and Mean Gene Okerlund. Vince Russo was one of the guys in the office. It was promoting the New WWF Generation. Analysis: It's funny how in 1996 the WWF was mocking Hulk Hogan for being old, yet six years later they put the WWE Title on him. This was done because WCW was beating the WWF in the ratings, so WWF felt that by taking shots at WCW's aging stars that it would lead to fans tuning into WWF more to see their current stars. They showed a video about the Razor Ramon feud with Goldust. Razor was the champion while Goldust played mind games with him and Razor snapped leading to a vicious backstage attack on Raw. Goldust made his entrance as the challenger. Goldust was joined by a gorgeous woman in a gold dress. Vince acted like he didn't know who she was. It was the debut of Marlena, who was smoking a cigar on the way to the ring. The announcers did not have a name for Marlena yet. That became known on Raw. Analysis: Goldust and Marlena, who was later known as Terri in the WWF, were married in real life at this point. They had a daughter together. They were divorced about three years after this. Razor Ramon got a nice ovation as the Intercontinental Champion. The announcers put over how mad Razor was when he attacked Goldust on Raw. There were a lot of closeups of Marlena sitting on the director's chair with an usher beside her. Intercontinental Championship: Razor Ramon vs. Goldust (w/Marlena) Pre-match notes: Razor was the babyface champion while Goldust was the heel challenger. Razor was the champion for about three months going into this match. It was Razor's fourth and final reign as IC Champion. There were a lot of mind games by Goldust early on as he touched himself repeatedly to make Razor feel uncomfortable. When Razor grabbed a headlock, Goldust rubbed his hands over his body to make him feel weird. They did it again when they locked up. Vince: "That was a little different." It sure was. Goldust rubbed Razor's hair, so Razor shoved him on his ass and Goldust came back with a hard slap to the face. Razor tripped Goldust up followed by slaps to the back of the head and Razor slapped his ass and punched him in the face. Goldust bailed to the floor, Razor chased after him, Goldust hid behind Marlena and then they went back into the ring where the guys exchanged holds until Razor decked him with another punch. Goldust did more stalling by going to the floor, then he went back into the ring and Razor hit a clothesline to knock Goldust out of the ring again. Razor moved Marlena out of the way, so Goldust drove Razor into the steps and into the side of the apron. Goldust with a punch to the face. Back in the ring, Goldust with a double axehandle to the back followed by a bulldog. Goldust with a belly to back slingshot suplex off the ropes for two. Marlena blew some gold dust into Razor's eyes. Dustin sent Razor face first into the mat followed by a neckbreaker. Goldust slapped on a sleeper hold, which Razor sold for about one minute until he made his comeback with a low blow mule kick after Razor stood face to face with the referee against the turnbuckle. Both guys were down while the referee Tim White counted them down and Goldust covered for a two count. Razor hit a knee to the ribs followed by a Chokeslam and a fallaway slam for a two count. Goldust went up top for nothing as Razor tripped him up on the top to crotch Goldust. Razor gave Goldust a belly to back suplex off the top. Marlena went into the ring, acted like she hurt her ankle, which distracted referee Tim White and that allowed 1-2-3 Kid to sneak down to ringside, he went up top and Kid hit a spinning heel kick on Razor. Goldust covered Razor for the pinfall win at 14:17. Winner by pinfall AND NEW Intercontinental Champion: Goldust Analysis: ** The match was just decent and even boring at times with a lot of stalling by Goldust in order to get some heat. When they actually wrestled it wasn't that bad, but it took a while to get going. The finish was cheap with 1-2-3 Kid costing Razor to build up that rivalry while also getting the title onto Goldust. There were a lot of reports about how Razor didn't like working with Goldust and you could see it during the match. Goldust was handed the Intercontinental Title by Marlena and they left together with the title. Razor was still down in the ring selling the attack. Analysis: This was Goldust's first IC Title win. He went on to hold the title three times in his career. There were plans to do Goldust vs. Razor at WrestleMania 12 as well, but that was changed because Razor didn't like working with Goldust and Razor was leaving for WCW a few months after WrestleMania anyway. There were comments from people about the Royal Rumble. It began with Shawn Michaels' doctor Dr. Jeffrey Unger, who said Shawn Michaels was fine to compete. It was followed by wrestler promos from Owen Hart, Jake Roberts, Jerry Lawler, Barry Horowitz (yes!), Vader with Jim Cornette and Shawn Michaels looking to win it for the second year in a row. The Royal Rumble match is usually the main event of the Royal Rumble PPV, but that wasn't the case this year. The Rumble was up next. The first entrant is Hunter Hearst Helmsley due to losing a match to Duke The Dumpster Droese in the Free For All match before the show. Droese gets the #30 spot. It would be the first Rumble where we'd get the wrestlers music on their way to the ring. We're back to 2 minute intervals after the 1995 Rumble had 1 minute intervals. We've got Hunter at #1 and his rival at the time, Henry O. Godwinn at #2. Hunter's the snobby rich heel while Godwinn's the babyface. There's not a whole lot going on with these two. At #3 is the heel Bob Backlund with the "Hail to the Chief" theme song. I loved how crazy Backlund was at this point in his career. It was hilarious. Mr. Perfect tries to theorize that Backlund's from Princeton University because he's from Princeton, MN. Not exactly the same thing. Backlund gets close to eliminating Hunter, but he can't do it. There's Jerry Lawler at #4, who of course is a heel like usual. There's a "Burger King" chant for Lawler, who gets Godwinn's slop bucket. Lawler tries to slop him, but he can't and all three heels bail to the floor and Godwinn dumps the slop onto Lawler. There's a "Vince 4 Prez" sign in the crowd. It's Bob Holly at #5, "start your engines" says Vince. What a brutal gimmick Sparky Plugg was. Not a lot happening. At #6 is King Mabel, who was no longer a rapper. He was a heel here, after winning King of the Ring the year before and having one of the worst PPV main event matches ever versus Diesel at SummerSlam 1995. Vince marks out for Mabel's because Vince loves the big guys. It's Jake Roberts as a babyface at #7. This was his comeback attempt. He takes out the snake. It's huge. Everybody bails. He puts the snake on Lawler, who freaks out. An attendant takes the snake away. We've had no eliminations to this point. Lawler's still outside the ring while the other six guys go at it in the ring. There's Dory Funk at #8. I looked it up and he's 55 years old at this point. The roster was really thin in these days considering Vince had to call in Dory. That's not a disrespect thing. It's just that he's not exactly spry at this point in his career. The crowd chants DDT. The camera shows Lawler hiding under the ring. It's Yokozuna at #9. He's a heel former WWF Champion. He throws Bob Backlund out rather quickly. Mabel splashes Yoko and Godwinn in the corner at the same time. Then he splashes Godwinn on the ground just for fun. Poor Godwinn. It's the 1-2-3 Kid at #10, who you might know as X-Pac or Sean Waltman. Razor Ramon chases him because Kid cost him his IC title match earlier in the show. Kid's too fast for Ramon, so he never gets his hands on him. Then they went out and got shitfaced after the match most likely. The #11 entrant is "the Wildman from Japan" Omori as Vince calls him. I don't remember this guy at all. There's really nothing happening in this match. Lawler's still under the ring. Roberts got Yoko down, which drew a pop. Here's Savio Vega at #12, looking happy that he doesn't have to be Kwang anymore. He takes Mabel down. Yoko dumps Mabel out. Omori gets eliminated by Roberts. Here's a big threat to win at #13 Vader, who was making his WWF debut after they promoted him hard. I'm not joking about him being a threat. He was fresh in the WWF at this point because they signed him from WCW where he was a World Champion. He's managed by Jim Cornette. Vega dumps out Funk. Vader hammers Vega with fists. I loved Vader's punches. He was always a favorite of mine because he was believable as a badass big man wrestler. They never booked him perfectly in the WWF, though. It's Doug Gilbert at #14!! I told you the roster was really thin. Roberts hits a DDT on Vega, but the camera doesn't even show it. The crowd popped huge. Vader knocks out Roberts with a clothesline. There's still no Lawler in the ring. He's under the ring, we guess. It's one of the Squat Team guys at #15. Who? Vince says he's making his debut. He's a very fat black man with face paint. He's no Kamala, that's for sure. You might know the Squat Team from ECW where they were known as The Headhunters. Vader hits a stiff chokeslam on Gilbert and then throws him out easily. Vader throws out the Squat team dude. In ring we've got six guys, plus Lawler out on the floor. There's the other Squat Team guy at #16. They're identical twins, Vince tells us. They both get in the ring, going right at Vader. He fights them off with fists. He clotheslines him out of the ring. Yoko threw out a Squat Team guy. Yoko looks VERY tired. There's Owen Hart at #17. He'll be the best worker in the match as soon as he gets in there. Man, Yoko looks to be in really bad shape. He looks so tired just standing on the ropes. Vader whipped Yoko into Vega and then Vader splashed Vega in the corner too. Vader splashes Vega and Yoko legdrops him. Here's Shawn Michaels at #18 to a huge pop. He's a babyface here, coming back from the concussion storyline and the "Tell Me a Lie" video. Vader throws out Savio. Yoko starts brawling with Vader, which makes Jim Cornette angry because he manages both guys. The two big guys are teetering against the ropes, so Michaels grabs their legs and flips them out. Huge pop for that. Michaels eliminates Kid. There's Hakushi at #19, who is a heel. Vader is pissed off, so he decks Yoko and goes back in the ring. Vader beats the hell out of Michaels. Vader press slams Michaels and throws him over the top to the floor. He does the same to Owen, Holly and HHH. In past (and future) Rumbles if a guy that got eliminated went back in the ring they were still able to eliminate people. In this case it was an angle to put over how dominant Vader was. They toss Vader out of the ringside area including WWF President Gorilla Monsoon. That was really well done in terms of establishing Vader as a new force in the WWF. Michaels flips Cornette over the top and we've got #20 Tatanka. There are six guys in the ring, plus Jerry Lawler also in the match. Hunter is close to eliminating Michaels. I wonder if those two would have good careers. They look like they have potential. Owen eliminates Hakushi. Cue the terrible music as #21 Aldo Montoya (Justin Credible) enters. Perfect: "He's got his jock on the wrong part of his body." Vince: "I don't know about that." The mask looks like a jock. I guess Vince loved the gimmick. He's the only one. Michaels takes a walk around the ring looking for Jerry Lawler. He finds him. No Hornswoggle yet, folks. Shawn throws Lawler back in. Tatanka eliminates Montoya and Michaels throws Lawler out. Here's a threat at #22, Diesel aka Kevin Nash. Diesel throws out Tatanka right away. Diesel was the World Champ for most of 1995. He would leave for WCW four months after this. Diesel decks Michaels with a punch because he was turning heel around this time although as he entered here, he was still a babyface. It's the "Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama at #23. You might remember him from such gimmicks as Papa Shango, The Godfather and The Goodfather as well. There are six guys in the right now: Michaels, Holly, Diesel, Kama, Owen and HHH. They had Diesel "inadvertently" hit Michaels. It's STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! at #24. I almost marked out right there. No…sorry…it's the "Ringmaster" Steve Austin. He's a few months away from being Stone Cold. I'll never understand why they gave him a mouthpiece like Ted Dibiase when he was always a strong talker. Thankfully he became Stone Cold soon after this. Austin eliminates Holly with a knee into the back. Barry Horowitz! Barry Horowitz! Barry Horowitz! The pat on the back! He's in at #25 and his music in the "can-can" song. I love this man. For those that don't know, Barry was a lifetime jobber who was in the WWF for a long time. They did an angle where he actually won a match over Skip and it got over pretty big. He also gave himself a pat on the back all the time. It was silly, but you had to love a lifelong jobber like Barry. Diesel launches HHH out. That was random. They had Hunter last the longest in the match at 48:01, but guess how many eliminations he officially had? Zero. It's Fatu (Rikishi) at #26 in his "man making a difference" gimmick. He was a babyface that was going to help the kids in the streets. It didn't work very well. Barry Horowitz is still in there! "If Horowitz wins this match I quit," says Perfect. He actually left soon after this for WCW! Owen tries to suplex Shawn out, but HBK hangs on. It's KANE! No, Isaac Yankem at #27. The dentist music. Owen dumps out Horowitz. Yankem goes after Diesel, which is funny because after Diesel left they did a fake Diesel and he's the one that played fake Diesel. Owen hits an enziguri to HBK and Shawn sells it like he's hurt bad. It's the same spot that hurt Michaels. They show a replay of that and while that happens Shawn & Diesel throw out Owen. Way to miss the elimination, director. Austin cheapshots Michaels and then he does the HBK flex pose. That was great. It's Marty Jannetty, still coming out to the Rockers music, at #28. Michaels hangs on from a near elimination. Austin beats on Diesel and he taunts him too. Small pop for Michaels and Jannetty doing a double KO spot. It's The British Bulldog at #29, who has the short hair here unlike the long hair from the year before when he was the runner up. He's a heel now. Bulldog dumps out Jannetty. We've got 7 left. Yankem is still in there! Austin gets eliminated by Fatu although we never see it except in the background. It's a preview of the angle where Rikishi runs him over in a car over 3 years later! Not exactly. Same two guys in different gimmicks, though. Perfect asks what happened to Ringmaster. Vince doesn't know. Yankem eliminates Fatu. There are five men left with one more entrant, who is #30 Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. "Imagine that, a garbage man goes to WrestleMania to face the WWF Champion." No Vince, nobody can imagine that. It's a terrible gimmick. What the hell were you thinking? Michaels and Bulldog go through the ropes. Owen Hart comes out to attack Michaels. This set up a match on the February PPV that was very good. Diesel saves Michaels from a Bulldog press slam and Michaels dropkicks Yankem out of the ring. Diesel and Kama eliminate Droese. The final four are Diesel, Kama, Michaels and Bulldog. They pair off, Michaels avoids an elimination from Bulldog, slides under the ropes and clotheslines him out. Then Kama clubs Michaels in the back, but Shawn skins the cat back in. What a sequence from HBK there. He's too good. Diesel shoves Kama out. Diesel is standing by the ropes, he turns around and Michaels superkicks him to send Diesel over the top. He's out as Michaels is announced as the winner of the match. Winner: Shawn Michaels – The lack of talent wasn't very good here, but it was slightly ahead of the 1995 Rumble. Some of the guys were a major reach in terms of their inclusion in the match. You could tell they called some people in for one time appearances. That's a sign of a ridiculously thin roster. It was not the best of times for the WWF. Things would get better, though. – Much like the year before, Michaels' talent is so far ahead of everybody else in this match. In the second half of his career the roster was much better. There's no doubt about that. It makes me think about how good the first half of his career could have been with better opponents. He had a few, but not as many as you might think. This was his last Rumble appearance until 2003, by the way. See ya soon, HBK. – They booked Vader really well. He was the star of the first half of the match. It would have been cool to see him last a little longer just because he's a great talent, but I understand picking his spot with him. He's one of the best big men wrestlers ever. – Poor Yoko. In 1993 he was in pretty good shape for a guy his size. He was mobile and fresh. By this point he looked even bigger and was tired almost as soon as he got in the ring. He lasted another year or so, but he wasn't the force he was during his initial push. And he would die four years after this. – I think Barry Horowitz deserves a pat on the back for his performance. FACTS & OPINIONS about the Royal Rumble Person that lasted the longest: Hunter Hearst Helmsley at 48:01. He eliminated nobody! Most Eliminations: Shawn Michaels with 8. Best Performers (3): Shawn Michaels – Obvious choice because he was by far the biggest star of the match. Vader – Great debut for him. Diesel – There was a lack of star power in the match, but when he got in there he made a huge impact. Best Elimination: Michaels dumping out Yokozuna and Vader at the same time was very impressive. Match Rating: **1/2 It was not very exciting due to how obvious it was that Michaels was going to win. The stuff with Vader was pretty good and some of the Michaels/Diesel interaction. Other than that, it was just an average Royal Rumble match. After the Royal Rumble match, Diesel was about to be interviewed by Dok Hendrix in the aisle. Diesel punched the British Bulldog to knock him down. Diesel went back into the ring as Michaels was teasing taking off his pants. It was a weird time for Michaels. Anyway, Diesel teased like he was going to punch Michaels, but then he held his hand in the air and Michaels gave him a high five like they used to do when they were tag team partners. Michaels went around the ring to celebrate the win with the fans. Diesel looked frustrated. Analysis: This was all about building to Diesel's heel turn because he was frustrated about the loss. It also led to an awesome match between Michaels and Diesel at the April 1996 "Good Friends, Better Enemies" PPV that was one of my favorite matches of that year. It was main event time with The Undertaker making his entrance along with manager Paul Bearer. As Undertaker made his entrance, Diesel stood in the aisle as Vince reminded us that Undertaker and Diesel had words with eachother at their last PPV in December 1995. Undertaker and Diesel exchanged punches as officials tried to break it up. Diesel was escorted to the back as Undertaker made his way down to the ring. This was Undertaker with a mask on his face to protect a broken orbital bone injury he suffered several months earlier. Analysis: The way they built to Undertaker vs. Diesel at WrestleMania 12 was really well done. It was a slow storyline that took months to develop. Bret "Hitman" Hart made his entrance to a huge pop with the WWF Championship around his waist. The fans loved Bret as one of the biggest faces in the company. WWF Championship: Bret Hart vs. The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) Pre-match notes: Bret was the babyface WWF Champion and Undertaker was also a babyface. Both guys were faces for most of the decade. Bret won the title two months earlier at Survivor Series 1995. As mentioned earlier, Undertaker had a protective mask on his face. Undertaker was in control early as he worked over Hart with punches. Undertaker with a hard whip into the turnbuckle followed by a claw hold on the face. Undertaker held on this face palming move for like two minutes until Hart got to the ropes. Taker did his rope walking routine leading to the punch to the back of Hart. Taker slapped on the face palm claw move again, which killed the crowd a few minutes into this match. Hart came back with a clothesline, then another clothesline sending Taker over the top to the floor. Hart hit a dive over the top on Taker, who sat right up, caught Hart and Taker drove Hart back first into the ring post. Hart countered a slam on the floor by driving Taker into the ring post and then Taker came back with a boot to the face. Hart reversed a whip on the floor and sent Taker knee first into the steel steps. That was a huge bump by Taker. The referee Earl Hebner stopped his count, then went back in the ring to start counting again, so Bret draped Taker's leg against the steps to work over the legs. Hart stretched Taker's left leg and splashed on the left leg repeatedly. There was a "Bring Back the Warrior" sign in the crowd. They did and it failed miserably. Hart with an elbow drop to the left leg followed by a knee bar. Hart slapped on the Figure Four Leglock as Vince wondered if Undertaker would ever submit to a move. Taker reversed the hold and Hart grabbed the bottom rope to break the hold. Vince keeps saying "facial appliance" instead of mask because he must really like that term. Hart slapped on another knee bar submission that led to Taker powering out of it while Hart tried taking the mask off, but Taker punched him to stop it. Hart grounded Taker again with a leg lock as fans chanted "rest in peace" to support Taker and after about a minute of that, Taker broke free. Taker sent Hart out of the ring and choked him with a cable connected to a camera while Bearer distracted the referee. Taker whipped Hart into the small table that had the ring bell on it. Taker hit Hart in the ribs with a chair, which should be a DQ, but Vince told us that the referee was distracted by Bearer and then we could see it. They went back into the ring with Hart kicking the leg of Taker to knock him down again. There were some boos for Bret as the announcers noted there were "mixed emotions" in the crowd. Hart rammed Taker's left leg into the ring post two times as Vince pointed out the cheers and boos in the crowd. Hart slapped on another knee bar submission to ground Taker. When Taker got back up, he connected with a headbutt, leg drop and a clothesline leading to a mixed reaction. Taker punched Hart out of the ring. Hart choked Undertaker across the top rope, but then Taker kicked him in the ribs and Hart bounced off the ropes with a DDT for a two count. That looked good. Hart with the side Russian legsweep that he loved to do in every match followed by a running bulldog. Taker kept sitting up after every move, which drew cheers. Hart with a backbreaker followed by the diving elbow drop off the middle ropes. That sequence of moves were what Hart always did in this era. Taker blocked a Sharpshooter attempt with a choke, a knee to the ribs and they ran the ropes leading to a double clothesline spot to knock both guys down. Hart took off the top turnbuckle pad, which the referee didn't see and Hart managed to take off the mask aka "facial appliance" that Vince kept saying. The referee tossed it out of the ring. Taker whipped Hart into a turnbuckle and then Hart sent Taker into the exposed turnbuckle two times, so the idea is it hurt more than normal because Undertaker had the facial injury. The fans booed that tactic by Hart. Hart charged at Taker, who caught him and Taker hit the Tombstone in the middle of the ring. Taker was slow to cover, which led to Diesel going down to the ring and pulling the referee out of the ring. Hebner called for the disqualification giving Undertaker the win at 28:31. Bret remains the champion. Winner by disqualification: The Undertaker (Bret Hart retains the WWF Title) Analysis: **1/2 This was a slow, methodical match that went too long and it wasn't as good as you would think considering the wrestlers in the match. Hart was great in long matches with a lot of different opponents, but this match with Taker didn't work that well. This first half of the match is bad, but they did pick up the pace and it improved by the end. I really liked the spot with the exposed turnbuckle, taking off the mask and the fans reacted to that in a big way. The ending hurts as well because it was a case of not wanting either guy to do the job, so they went with the cheap Diesel interference ending. It was announced that Bret Hart was disqualified as a result of outside interference from Diesel, so the winner of the match was The Undertaker. However, the WWF Championship cannot change hands due to disqualification and Diesel smirked about it. Diesel gave Undertaker the middle finger and walked to the back. The Undertaker left the ring to go after Diesel with Taker slowly moving since he was selling the left leg injury. Vince: "He was robbed of the WWF Title!" Analysis: There's the Diesel heel turn officially. The Diesel feud with Undertaker was furthered here with Diesel costing Undertaker, who the fans loved. That would lead to Undertaker costing Diesel the WWF Title at the February 1996 PPV and then it would lead to Undertaker vs. Diesel at WrestleMania 12. Hart's music played as the WWF Champion celebrated with the title in the middle of the ring while also greeting fans at ringside. That was the end of the main part of the show. There was more to the broadcast as part of Royal Rumble Plus, which was part of the tape that they sold after the show. The Royal Rumble Plus featured interviews with Gorilla Monsoon, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Diesel, Jim Cornette talking about Vader. A video package aired showing highlights of the show. That was the end of the broadcast. Show rating (out of 10): 4 This was a below average show that was hurt by not having a standout match. The Rumble match was just decent with a predictable winner in Michaels and not a lot of exciting moments aside from a few things. I forgot how long that Hart/Taker match was, but it sure was boring for most of it.If you looked at this card on paper there might be some matches that don't look bad, but they failed to deliver in the ring. Best Match: Royal Rumble Match (**1/2 out of 5) – I had three matches with the same rating, so I picked the Rumble match as the best. Worst Match: Ahmed Johnson vs. Jeff Jarrett (*1/4) The post TJR WWE Royal Rumble Reviews: 1996 (Michaels Wins Again, Bret Hart vs. Undertaker) appeared first on TJR Wrestling. Categories Xtremesports Tags Feature, Royal Rumble, Royal Rumble Reviews, Sport, WWE, Xtremesports The John Report: WWE NXT 01/15/20 Reaction The WWE NXT Reaction column is back. I haven't done it for a few weeks and I apologize for that. Life is hectic, but I feel like the best time for me to do it is Friday mornings after it gets uploaded to WWE Network on Thursday evening. As I've mentioned previously, the full two-hour edition of NXT is not on TV in Canada. As a reminder, this is not a play by play review of the show. Instead, it's more of a reaction that will include my star ratings for the matches as well as my analysis. It's a big episode with two title matches, so let's get to it. Live from Full Sail University in Orlando, FL. Follow me on Twitter @johnreport. I am watching the WWE Network version of the show. Let's roll. The show began with a recap of last week's show. Let's Hear from Keith Lee A promo to start the show? What is this, Raw or Smackdown? I guess it's okay to do it occasionally on NXT as well. Lee talked about how he was the number one contender for the NXT North American Title and he also talked about how Undisputed Era had a great 2019 because they hold every title. Lee said they had a great year out of everyone except maybe him. Lee said Undisputed Era has reached their limit while he is Limitless, which is his nickname. There was a predictable interruption from The Undisputed Era foursome of Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish. They did a 4-on-1 attack on Lee with Strong hitting Lee in the knee with a chair, Cole hit the Last Shot knee and Strong stomped on a chair on the left ankle of Lee. Tommaso Ciampa showed up for the save as he beat up some of the group while Cole ran away. Lee was selling the left ankle injury. Analysis: Good heat segment that put over the Undisputed Era as a dominant heel group. It also weakened Lee going into his title match next week. I feel like it's a good time for Lee to win the title, but if they want to move Lee to Raw or Smackdown then Strong will probably hold onto it. It was officially announced that Finn Balor will face Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover Portland on February 16. That's going to be amazing. The announcers for the show were Mauro Ranallo and Beth Phoenix. There was no Nigel McGuinness this week after he worked the NXT UK Takeover Blackpool show and the tapings in the days that followed. Later in the show, Mauro said that Nigel was given some time for some R&R in his native England. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament Quarterfinals: Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne defeated Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews They are using the name The Broserweights for Riddle and Dunne, but I don't know if that's official yet. Webster and Andrews are a good babyface team from the NXT UK brand and they are former NXT UK Tag Team Champions. The match started, then they went to a break about one minute in and the action picked up from there. Andrews was a flurry offense with kicks for everybody, then a bulldog into a DDT spot and a double team somersault dive by the Webster/Andrews tag team. Dunne got his chance to unleash his offense on Andrews and they did this great suplex into a Powerbomb spot followed by stereo kicks for a two count as Webster broke up the pin. That led to one of many "NXT" chants. Riddle got some nearfalls on Andrews with a German Suplex and a rising knee strike. After Andrews was isolated for a few minutes, Webster was on fire with dropkicks on both guys followed by a somersault dive off the top onto Dunne and Riddle on the floor. Good nearfall for Webster/Andrews when they hit a knee strike/reverse rana combination for a two count. The fans chanted "tag team wrestling" for them as Andrews hit an amazing Tornado DDT on Dunne on the floor. Riddle with a Spear for both opponents followed by Webster countering a Jackhammer attempt with an inside cradle for two. Awesome nearfall. Dunne and Riddle hit a double team knee/kick to the head for two for another excellent two count in this match. They did this cool spot where Webster was pinning Riddle after a hurricanrana and then Dunne punched Andrews to have him land on both guys to break up the pin. Dunne blocked a DDT attempt by Andrews, but then Andrews hit a Stunner. Riddle took out Webster with Gotch Driver on the floor. Dunne took out Andrews with a forearm to the face to counter a Shooting Star Press move and Dunne/Riddle hit a double rising knee to the face of Andres for the pinfall win after 18 minutes. Match Analysis: **** This was a great tag team match that was given a lot of time and was very competitive from the beginning. Since they are both babyface teams, this wasn't one of those tags where there was a face in peril for a long time. They had an even match. I think it was the right call to have Dunne/Riddle get the win because they might be the team to win this tournament and also become a babyface tag team that can go for the titles. I've seen Andrews/Webster in other long matches like this and they always impress. These four guys worked well together. There is a lack of depth in terms of tag teams in NXT right now, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to use Andrews/Webster more in the US instead of just the UK brand. They're fun to watch. The win by Riddle/Dunne means they will face Imperium in the semifinals in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. A clip aired from NXT UK Takeover Blackpool showing Undisputed Era's attack on Imperium on Sunday. Those teams are having a match at Worlds Collide on January 25th. Let's Hear from Tommaso Ciampa Ciampa did an in-ring promo as fans chanted "Daddy's Home" for him. Ciampa listed Velveteen Dream, Imperium and Keith Lee as part of Undisputed Era's hit list. Ciampa said that Adam Cole is on his hit list. Ciampa said he needed Goldie (NXT Title) back, so he is taking back his life. The Undisputed Era foursome went to the ring to attack Ciampa and they overwhelmed him due to the numbers game. That's when Johnny Gargano showed up to save his former #DIY partner Ciampa. Gargano cleaned house with clotheslines, punches and Strong tried to bump over the top to the floor, but he couldn't do it and went under the ropes. Ciampa with a DDT off the ropes on O'Reilly while Gargano hit a superkick on Fish. Gargano and Cole hit a double team kick/knee strike on Fish as fans chanted "DIY" for them. Gargano and Ciampa just stared at eachother as a sign of respect. Analysis: This was good and the crowd loved it. What I like about it is they don't waste time with boring promos that drag on too long. Ciampa spoke for about one minute when Undisputed Era showed up. It's a better flow for the show where we don't have to hear longer promos that are just there to kill time. That's a problem on Raw most weeks and Smackdown sometimes. The obvious NXT Title match at NXT Takeover Portland is Cole vs. Ciampa, so this was just done to build to that. I'm sure Ciampa will win a #1 contenders match soon to earn the title shot. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament Quarterfinals: Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) defeated The Time Splitters (Kushida and Alex Shelley) It's cool to see Shelley in the NXT ring. He has been a very good wrestler all around the world for a long time, so I'm glad he has found his way there. I hope he is in NXT regularly although it's not known right now if he's going to be back very often. Shelley is 36 years old, so he has many good years left in him. Kushida and Shelley teamed together in Japan for years. The Grizzled Young Veterans team are heels from the NXT UK brand. I've been really impressed by them, especially Gibson. The heels worked over Shelley for a bit at the start, then Kushida helped his partner and they hit dives over the top onto the heels. Kushida got in some hard kicks on Gibson while also working on the left arm and a double suplex by the Time Splitters. The heels took over with some good double team moves including dropkicks and trips. That led to a break. Gibson and Drake were in control as they worked over Shelley as the face in peril. Kushida was on fire when he got the tag with a handspring back elbow on Gibson and an armdrag into a cross armbreaker submission, but Drake countered into a pin attempt. After Gibson went into the ring, Drake hit two kicks into a neckbreaker for a two count. Kushida fought off the heel with a headscissors, then a double knee strike by the faces and Shelly/Kushida hit a double team splash/moonsault for two as Gibson saved his partner. Kushida with a dropkick while Shelley held Gibson in place on the mat. The match turned when Kushida was on top, Gibson shoved him off the top and Drake/Gibson hit their Ticket to Mayhem double team move leading to Drake pinning Shelley for the win. It went 12 minutes. Match Analysis: ***1/4 It was a pretty good tag team match. They worked hard, had a competitive match and built to the finish well. The big spot was Kushida getting shoved to the top, which led to Grizzled Young Veterans hitting their double team double knee finisher for the win. I was disappointed that the heels won. Perhaps that is what WWE's creative team wanted us to feel, but I think the Time Splitters need to continue as a team and a win here would have been nice to see. It's not a knock on Gibson/Drake at all. I just wanted to see more of the Time Splitters in this tournament. After the match, Kushida and Shelley wanted a handshake. Gibson and Drake walked away saying they didn't want to shake their hands while adding that they derailed this reunion tour on the first stop. Gibson said that Kushida and Shelley are a great team from the past, but they (the Grizzled Young Veterans) are going to win the Dusty Classic. The semifinals of the Dusty Classic are Grizzled Young Veterans vs. Undisputed Era and Matt Riddle/Pete Dunne vs. Imperium. Both of those matches will take place next week. Analysis: That means there are three heel teams plus Riddle/Dunne as the lone face team. The finals will likely be Riddle/Dunne vs. Undisputed Era and I'm going with Riddle/Dunne for the win. I would have liked to see Kushida/Shelley vs. Undisputed Era next week. They showed a clip of Chelsea Green arriving with representative Robert Stone arriving to the arena earlier today. Stone said that Green is better than the best, so that's why she's not in the battle royal. They left in a car. There was a promo from Finn Balor talking about Ilya Dragunov because they face eachother at Worlds Collide. Balor said "when you come at Finn, you better not miss" and said he'll put him down. Analysis: The "you better not miss" line is from one of my favorite HBO shows ever The Wire when Omar would say it, but Omar would say "When you come at the king, you best not miss." I loved that show. Anyway, heel Finn is doing very well too. The NXT Cruiserweight Champion Angel Garza joined the commentary team for the next match. Isiah "Swerve" Scott defeated Tyler Breeze and Lio Rush The winner of this match got to move on to the Fatal 4-Way match for the NXT Cruiserweight Title at Worlds Collide on January 25. The pace of this match was very quick as all three guys got in some offense while Garza said he didn't care who won. Rush knocked Scott out of the ring, Rush was on the apron, he kicked Breeze and Rush did a backflip to avoid a dive by Scott. That was incredible followed by Rush hitting a headscissors on Scott on the floor. That led to a break. When the match returned, they did a unique Tower of Doom Spot off the apron with Breeze doing a German Suplex on Scott, who gave Rush a suplex at the same time. That was cool. Breeze dominated from there with punches, a forearm, a clothesline and Rush hit a suicide dive on Breeze while Scott hit a twisting dive on Rush. Back in the ring, Rush hit a Spanish Fly splash on Scott for a two count while Garza said he wanted something different instead of facing Rush again. Breeze connected with supermodel kicks on both guys to give him some nearfalls. Rush go back into it using his incredible and a reverse rana, a suicide dive and a Final Four Frog Splash off the top on Scott for two because Breeze broke up the pin. That led to "NXT" chants. Breeze got knocked down after two kicks, but then he hit a Supermodel kick on Scott. Rush took down Breeze and hit the Final Hour Frog Splash on Breeze. Rush with a Come Up Stunner on Scott, Breeze came back with a spin kick and Scott hit the JML Driver on Breeze for the pinfall win. That move looks pretty dangerous, but he did it as safely as possible. This match went about 13 minutes. Match Analysis: ***1/4 It was a very exciting, fast-paced match featuring three of the best cruiserweights in the company. I wouldn't have had a problem with any of them winning because they're all talented. It would be nice if Breeze was featured more (now that Fandango is out long term with an injury), but I can understand wanting to give Scott the win since he's still new in NXT. Rush is a former champion, so maybe they felt like he didn't need the win, but Rush was the most impressive guy in this match. I hope Rush gets used outside the cruiserweight division because he's so skilled in the ring and he's a good talker. There's a lot of potential for Rush in NXT. The win by Scott means he'll be one of Angel Garza's three opponents for the NXT Cruiserweight Title at Worlds Collide on January 25. Rhea Ripley was interviewed by Cathy Kelly. She said she'll beat Toni Storm at Worlds Collide and she'll beat the battle royal winner at NXT Takeover Portland as well. Very basic promo. Johnny Gargano was interviewed by Cathy Kelly outside the arena. Tommaso Ciampa walked up to talk to him as Cathy left. They mentioned tagging together against Moustache Mountain at Worlds Collide on January 25 and they agreed to it. The Undisputed Era group tried to go at Ciampa and Gargano, but security broke it up. Keith Lee showed up to go after Undisputed Era, then he tossed a security guy onto a car windshield and another guy onto a table. Lee wasn't selling the ankle injury that much, so that was a bit odd. Analysis: The Cole/Gargano match against Moustache Mountain at Worlds Collide will be amazing. I have high expectations for that match. Next week on NXT: * Roderick Strong vs. Keith Lee for the NXT North American Title * Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Semifinals: Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne vs. Imperium * Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Semifinals: Undisputed Era vs. Grizzled Young Veterans The introductions took place for the women's battle royal main event where the winner earned an NXT Women's Title match at NXT Takeover Portland. The order of entrances went like this: Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Bianca Belair, Kacy Catanzaro (back in action after being off for a few months), Mercedes Martinez (recently signed a contract) and then there was a break. When the show returned they showed the entrances of Io Shirai, Tegan Nox (back in action after she was attacked at WarGames in November) and then Shayna Baszler was last with Mauro Ranallo freaking out that she was in the match. The other women that were in the ring that made entrances during the break were: Shotzi Blackheart, Indi Hartwell, Catalina, Vanessa Borne, Kayden Carter, Santana Garrett, Io Shirai, Deonna Purrazzo, MJ Jenkins, Jessi Kamea and Xia Li. Bianca Belair won the Women's Battle Royal to Earn an NXT Women's Title Match This might be more of a play by play review since it's a battle royal. There was a lot of standing around and attempts to dump people out of the ring without much happening for a few minutes. The first elimination happened when MJ Jenkins was trying to hang on, but Baszler ripped on her fingers and Jenkins was eliminated. Bianca Belair put Jessi Kamea over the top, but Kamea saved herself. Belair picked up Kamea again and dumped her over the top to eliminate her. Catalina got in some offense on Baszler with a dropkick, but when she tried a headscissors, Baszler dumped Catalina over the top to the floor. That looked like a painful bump. Baszler continued her dominance by knocking out Kayden Carter with a forearm. They went to break there. When the match returned, Baszler knocked out Santana Garrett with a kick to the face. It was mentioned by the announcers that Indi Hartwell was eliminated and Mia Yim kicked Vanessa Borne out of the ring. Deonna Purrazzo was eliminated, then she hit a kick on Shotzi Blackheart on the floor. Baszler got rid of Xia Li after Li tried to get rid of Bianca Belair. Io Shirai eliminated Kacy Catanzaro, who had a few moments where she got to show off her athleticism and the fans chanted for Shirai even though she's a heel. Belair with a press slam on LeRae, who managed to stay alive until Belair sent her to the apron and whipped her into the ring post. Great bump by Candice there. Martinez had an impressive elimination of Yim as she hit a suplex to send Yim out of the ring. Martinez and Baszler had slugfest with Martinez sending Baszler over the top to the apron, but then Baszler turned it around on her and dumped Martinez out. The final four (or so we thought) were Shayna Baszler, Tegan Nox, Bianca Belair and Io Shirai. Nox got in some offense against the other three women with running forearms, running sentons against Belair and Baszler while Belair was able to hang on to avoid elimination. Nox gave Shirai a Chokeslam onto Baszler. Belair hit a spear on Baszler, Nox with a running knee on Belair, Shirai sent Nox to the apron and Dakota Kai showed up to pull Nox off the top rope, so that eliminated Nox. Kai threw a knee brace at Nox to continue that rivalry. Baszler was about to eliminate Shirai, so then Shotzi Blackheart went back into the ring to eliminate Baszler because Shotzi was not eliminated. Shirai and Belair were the last two with Shirai hitting the 619 kick, but then Belair came back with the fallaway slam. Belair and Shirai battled on the top rope, Shirai with a step-up enziguri, but then Belair pulled down the rope and Shirai went to the apron. They ended up back in the ring with Belair hitting a spear, but then Shirai hit a release German Suplex. Belair managed to get Shirai on her shoulders and gave her the KOD slam over the top to the floor. The battle royal went 23 minutes. Match Analysis: **3/4 It was pretty good for a battle royal. I think booking a battle royal for nearly 20 minutes is too long, but they did give them the main event spot and treated it like a big deal, so I guess it's okay to run that long. If they got about 12 minutes instead of 20 it probably would have been a better match because there was a lot of stalling early on. The last few minutes were great with Kai costing Nox the win, Blackheart getting the surprise elimination on Baszler and then the final two was fun with Shirai and Belair. Belair celebrated the win that will mean she gets an NXT Women's Title shot at the NXT Takeover Portland show on February 16. The current champ is Rhea Ripley, but Ripley has to get by Toni Storm at Worlds Collide on January 25 first. I expect Ripley to win both of those matches. Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews I give this show a 7.25 out of 10. There were only four matches in two hours which meant that everything got a lot of time. All four matches were over 12 minutes. I like to see that. They advanced a lot of the storylines well. Some of the bigger names in NXT weren't in matches this week, so that hurt a bit and made it feel like a bit of a lesser show that was used to build to some bigger matches next week. The five matches announced for Worlds Collide on January 25 are: * Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish & Roderick Strong) vs. Imperium (Walter, Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner & Alexander Wolfe) * DIY (Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) vs. Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) * Finn Balor vs. Ilja Dragunov * NXT Women's Title Match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Toni Storm * NXT Cruiserweight Title Fatal Four-Way Match: Angel Garza (c) vs. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott vs. (Jordan Devlin or Ligero) vs. (The Brian Kendrick or Travis Banks) The first two matches announced for NXT Takeover Portland on February 16 are: * Johnny Gargano vs. Finn Balor * NXT Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Bianca Belair There will likely be at least five matches on the card because that's what most Takeover events have.

After a grueling day at work, who has never dreamt of a Turkish bath made of high quality materials that are resistant to high temperatures? The BL-2B Turkish bath is for its characteristics a moment of pleasant relaxation dedicated to body and soul. Compared to the sauna, BL-2B (2 seating positions) uses steam to purify the body through the perspiration of the skin, in an environment almost saturated with moisture. With the traditional sauna, however, you do not get humidity inside the room but only warmth. The Turkish Beauty Luxury bath consists of a series of panels to be assembled, in a very simple way, by a tempered glass door and a steam generator. Requires hydraulic and electrical connection. Consult your doctor for details about the physiological compatibility of your body with the intensive use of the Turkish bath.

Q: How do I check if a function is bijective, if the formula contains multiple absolute values? I'd usually solve such problems by taking $x_1$ and $x_2$ that belong to the domain and then assuming $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$, trying to get $x_1=x_2$ out of that (to check if it's injective), and solving $f(x)=y$ for $x$ (to check if it's onto). But I got confused on this one, as it will have multiple cases. How does one solve this? $$f : \left[\frac{1}{3},1\right] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \quad f(x)=\sqrt{9-|x-1|-|2x-1|}$$ A: Hint: It certainly is not onto, since $f$ is continuous, and thus the image of a bounded interval is a bounded interval. As to injectivity, you can remove the absolute values from the expression of $f(x)$: as the pivot-values are $1$ and $\frac 12$, you get * *If $\frac 13\le x\le\frac 12$, we have $$f(x)=\sqrt{9-(1-x)-(1-2x)}=\color{red}{\sqrt{7+3x}}.$$ On this interval, $f(x)$ is increasing from … to … *If $\frac 12\le x\le 1$, we have $$f(x)=\sqrt{9-(1-x)-(2x-1)}=\color{red}{\sqrt{9-x}}. $$ On this interval, $fx)$ is decreasing from … to … A: While the general definitions and approaches that you stated in your post are absolutely correct, in practice sometimes they work and sometimes they don't — if the function is too complicated. And if we try to apply the straightforward approach, but can't get anywhere, then we probably need to think of some indirect ways to approach the question. Say, in this example, it's easy to show that the function is not onto all of $\mathbb{R}$. Since $f(x)=\sqrt{\text{something}}$, it immediately follows that $f(x)\ge0$ for any input $x$. We're not saying that all non-negative numbers are in the range; but all negative numbers definitely are not in the range, so this function is not onto. Now, injectivity. Absolute values should raise some suspicion that maybe it isn't one-to-one. In that case, you don't need to do a general proof, but you only need to provide at least one counterexample of $x_1\neq x_2$ such that $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$. Let's think… First of all, since $x\le1$ in the given domain, the first absolute is irrelevant and we can open it up and simplify. Then observe that $|2x-1|$ switches its sign at $x=1/2$. Can you find two points $x_1\neq x_2$ in the domain such that $|2x_1-1|=|2x_2-1|$? That's all you need to make the values of the function equal. A: This function $f : \left[\frac{1}{3},1\right] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \quad f(x)=\sqrt{9-|x-1|-|2x-1|}$ is not bijective. take $y=-1$

Niche strategies create competitive advantages for small to medium-size businesses. They allow you to differentiate your company from potential competitors by demonstrating an expertise in particular product or service as well as an in-depth understanding of your clients' unique needs and wants. To illustrate this point, just take a look at INC's Fastest 5,000 growing companies in any year. You will notice the vast majority of these companies are focusing on a unique product, service or industry. Our coaching firm has also seen this firsthand as many of our clients qualify to be on INC's 5,000 list. While a niche strategy may make common sense, it is not the most common strategy used among small businesses. If you happen to be one of the few companies that have a solid niche strategy, you can skip this column and wait for some of my upcoming columns on people management. However, if you're not using a niche strategy, this column will help you explore ways to refine or develop your competitive advantage. The challenge is that these answers rarely create competitive advantage and are quite possibly a symptom of eating your own cooking. Your competitors are most likely saying the same thing and feel the same way. I know, you are probably thinking, "But in my case it really is true." Even if it is true, your competitive advantage is not scalable and has a high risk of being diminished. What problem or need can my company solve that is not currently being addressed in the market place? Finding your core strength may be fairly easy. Understanding your competitive differentiation requires a bit of market/competitive research. Too often, I've heard entrepreneurs exclaim how their company is the "only one" when a simple Google search identifies hundreds of competitors. I am not suggesting you focus on your competitors, but to simply understand how to develop a niche strategy that wins.

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and his deputy Arjun Ram Meghwal met Gandhi to seek support of Congress and its allies in getting the crucial bills and ordinances passed. The Lok Sabha session will begin on June 17 and is the first since the LOk SAbha elections. Among the ordinances that the government will seek to pass as bills is the one on triple talaq on which Congress has reservations. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Second Ordinance was promulgated on February 21. Other ordinances promulgated in February are Indian Medical Council (amendment) Second Ordinance, the Companies (Amendment) Second Ordinance, the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Ordinance. The Modi government had also gone for promulgation of Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (amendment) Ordinance, the Aadhaar and other laws (amendment) Ordinance, the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre Ordinance, the Homeopathy Central Council (amendment) Ordinance, the Special Economic Zone (amendment) Ordinance and the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers' Cadre) Ordinance. These ordinances were promulgated between March 1 and 7. Pralhad Joshi told reporters after meeting Gandhi that she also sought cooperation of the the government in raising issues. "It was a cordial meeting and we sought her cooperation for the smooth functioning of Parliament. She (Sonia) sought support from treasury benches to which I assured her of all support from the government," Joshi said. The meeting lasted over 20 minutes. Tomar said they were seeking cooperation of opposition leaders for smooth running of the House. "We are meeting all the opposition leaders to request for their party's cooperation and smooth functioning of Parliament," he said. On June 5, Joshi, along with the two ministers of state in his ministry - Meghwal and V. Muraleedharan - met Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, at his residence. The government is likely to convene an all-party meeting in Parliament House on June 16, a day ahead of the start of the Lok Sabha session. The first session of the newly-elected Lok Sabha has been convened from June 17 to July 26 and the Budget will be presented on July 5. The 40-day session will have 30 sittings. The first two days of the session have been kept for oath-taking by the newly-elected members and election of Lok Sabha Speaker will take place on June 19. President Ram Nath Kovind will address the joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on June 20 and the subsequent days will see a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to his address. The Economic Survey will be presented on July 4. 'Left Panel Bottom' 10 Ordinances Smooth Running Of Parliament Session

I've known Michelle since grade school up in good ol' Pequot Lakes and have vivid memories of sitting in her kitchen eating bread dipped in ranch dressing (no, really), while belting out Tom Petty. Specifically the entire Full Moon Fever album, word for word. I haven't seen her since we graduated high school (FOURTEEN FREAKING YEARS AGO), even though we realized during this session that we both went to the same college. Both of us moved west and are now back in Minneapolis and it was so fun to reconnect, reminisce, talk about our love for the mountains and the lakes and most of all, finally meet her sweet little munchkin, Isabel.

Horror as dead animals found dumped outside Guildford pet crematorium The council ordered the crematorium to close last year, but has continued making use of its services Natasha Salmon Equine and Pet Cremation Services, Midleton Industrial Estate Road Bodies of dead animals dumped outside a Guildford pet crematorium left a grandmother and her 10-year-old grandson walking to a birthday party, horrified. Equine and Pet Cremation Services is required to vacate its premises in Midleton Industrial Estate next month. The borough council has continued to use its services - despite making the order following an inspection a year ago. Elaine Reilly, 59, was with her family, taking the boy to a party at AirHop trampoline park, when they spotted carcasses of two dogs lying under the gate. Mrs Reilly from New Malden, who was visiting her daughter in Guildford on Thursday evening, said: "My daughter and I took my grandson to AirHop and walked along the road to get there. "My daughter suddenly said 'oh my god look at that' and I just couldn't believe it. It was a dog lying under the gate. "Its legs were hanging out onto the pavement then there was another dead body next to it with a bag over its head so we couldn't see what it was, but we reckon it was another dog. "We were left quite upset. "I don't have any animals but that really worried me. "I know how much people love their pets and imagine if you pay to have them cremated and then they're just left to lie like that. "I dread to think what was behind the gates if that is what is poking out. "My grandson is 10-years-old. It was two minutes from where he was attending a birthday party with other children. It was disgusting." When the Surrey Advertiser visited the site, there was the unmistakable smell of rotting bodies 10 metres from the crematorium. The source of the smell was undoubtedly two large skips which could be seen with tarpaulin tightly bound to hide what would have otherwise been overflowing contents. Equine and Pet Cremation Services refused to comment on the matter when contacted and said it was a dispute between them and the council. Guildford Borough Council is required to use the crematorium to depose of road kill The company, which offers the cremation of pets, horses and road kill from the site, is required to vacate the premises on June 16. A spokesman for Guildford Borough Council said: "Following an unsatisfactory inspection of the Equine and Pet Cremation Services at 3 Midleton Industrial Estate in June 2014, which resulted in the council reporting the issue to the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, the council served notice on the leaseholder. "The tenant is due to vacate the premises on 16 June 2015. All animals should have been removed from the site. "The council is concerned that members of the public have been distressed by the dead animals at the site, which is unacceptable." However, despite condemning the site a year ago, the council has continued using it as a means of disposing of road kill in Guildford. The council said this is under instruction from Surrey County Council and admitted to one incident when a contractor left a dead deer outside the gates. "Under the direction of Surrey County Council, we are required to use the Equine and Pet Crematorium Services to dispose of roadkill," the spokesman said. "The process for doing this would be to deliver the animal behind the gates of the premises ready for prompt disposal. "Unfortunately, there was one incident when a dead deer in a bag was left outside the locked gates. "We are in discussions with Surrey County Council to locate an alternative facility for the disposal of roadkill. "We will work to resolve the issue before the company vacates the premises on 16 June." Other businesses in the industrial estate commented on the constant smell from the site with one man saying he saw a woman doubled over being sick by the side of the road. One employee of a Midleton Industrial estate business, which did not want to be identified, said they would be glad when the facility had gone: "People constantly ask us, what is that smell because it is dreadful. "I have seen animals hanging out from under the gate, like dogs and deer but it is normally road kill which is dropped off and left there."

I just barely missed blogging on June 14. How sad for me! We had a really really busy day today. We went to an event at the local library. Brady got his face painted and a balloon sword. He was the HAPPIEST that I have ever seen him! Then we got some lunch, I dropped off my card for the contest at Scrap N Stamp, and we went to the grocery store to buy stuff for tomorrow's breakfast in bed. It will be Dustin's first Father's Day tomorrow (today really.) I don't know if I'll be able to blog but I made him a card from Brady that's really fun that I need to share. And I have the card for my contest entry that I will have to share too. Have a great Father's Day everyone!

Petroleum is the yellow liquid that is mined from the earth to produce gasoline and motor oil. It's also refined and used in many food products that line american grocery shelves, most of these being marketed towards children. These by-products are often consumed in the form of bright food coloring, flavoring and preservatives in processed snacks. Yellow dye #5 and red dye #40 are well-known variations. Currently, The FDA isn't concerned about the petroleum products used in American food, but may of these are outlawed in other countries because they pose serious health risks. Food dyes can also contain unexpected and unknown impurities. In fact, these substances are so toxic that the British government and European Union have ended the use of dyes in food throughout Europe since 2009 and 2010, respectively. Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 account roughly for 90% of the dyes used in foods . Even some fresh oranges are dipped in dye to brighten them and provide uniform color, says Michael Jacobson, executive director at CSPI. Red 40 has been proven to cause immune-system tumors in mice and allergic and hyperactive reactions in children. Yellow 5 has the same effects but contains multiple carcinogenic substances and has been linked to organ damage. Yellow 6 was found to cause adrenal tumors in animals as well as hypersensitivity in children. According to the nutritional information available on the Kellogg website, The most popular flavor, frosted strawberry, contains many harmful ingredients. For starters, the snacks have corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose and sugar within the first 7 ingredients. These sugary products has all been linked to childhood diabetes, sugar addiction and liver problems. The treats also contain TBHQ, a petroleum based-product which damages human DNA and causes cellular dysfunction . It's also know to cause tumours, vision loss, liver enlargement, neurotoxic effects, convulsions, and paralysis in laboratory animals . Many fruit-based snacks that market themselves as healthy options, like jam-filled cereal bars for example, are loaded with food coloring to make them more appealing . Red 3 is commonly used, which is worrisome since it's been banned from cosmetic products for causing thyroid tumors. Alongside red 40, yellow 6 and yellow 5, these chocolates are often colored by using blue 2, which is known to cause tumors in the brain and bladder, as well as blue 1, which inhibits the development of nerve cells. These orange snacks are not only colored with yellow 6, they also contain an artificial flavoring mix of other highly toxic substances. The "Flamin' Hot" variety was even reported to cause abdominal distress, gastritis and addiction-like dependency in children and adults. These seemingly harmless snacks are often laced with TBHQ, which is bad for the same reasons mentioned previously, as well as nausea, vomiting, delirium, anxiety and stomach cancer . Thankfully, you can replace these snack with all-natural and organic products (that are either store-bought or homemade) as well as fresh fruits and vegetables in appropriately-sized portions. These options are much more filling and nutritious than the ones on this list. If you're concerned about your child's exposure to dyes, make sure to read the labels on household products such as vitamins, cough syrup, toothpaste, shampoo, laundry detergent and hand cream. These products often contain similarly toxic dyes.

MIXTAPED NEW TRAP SOUL: South African Trap Soul Artist T.Nale Is Mixing Genres and Sounds with New Single 'Walk Over Me' 24 Year old artist T.Nale is back with one of his hottest singles to date – 'Walk Over Me.' Walk Over me is T.Nale's 3rd single release of this year and showcases the artist's diversity to switch between genres and demonstrates it to perfection with this Trapsoul/Pop Vibe. T.Nale collaborated with a very well known producer called Pacific and the sound will surely resonate with the new school audience. The song is a true depiction of his admiration for soulful, meaningful music that can appeal to many ears.Thabo Nale, who goes by the stage name T. Nale has made it onto thousands of music lovers lists in his short career and is developing his sound, style and direction on each and every new release. T Nale explains the motivation and meaning behind the new single –"Walk Over Me is inspired by heartbreak. In terms of being in an unstable relationship and allowing someone to take advantage of you to a point where you would do anything just to please that individual. It's about overcoming those fears of being alone and realizing that truestrength comes from within". T Nale grew up Durban and in Gauteng, but it was in the dusty streets of Meadowlands in Soweto where his dream of being a performer was birthed. His different experiences in these parts of the country have given him the ability to cultivate a unique sound that will resonate with people in any part of South Africa or Africa as a whole. T Nale's genre defined trapsoul is the definition of a new age fusion between melodic hip-hop and a touch of R&B, which allows him to bring his own style into the industry. Throughout his career, T.Nale has released 3 mixtapes of full album length and an official album, which can be found on all major streaming platforms. The mixtapes, titled Charged, Friends Don't Last and Courage, were all imperative in building him into the musician he is today. The young star, who does not want to identify himself as a rapper but rather as a musician, says he was still discovering his sound when he dropped the mixtapes at the ages of 19, 20 and 22 respectively. In 2018 he released his highly anticipated single titled 'Gamble Mama' which is still making its rounds on many radio stations. The music video has been published and certified on "Vevo" but he believes he has much more in store and promises a quality showing from here on out. In 2017 he was featured in Omen the Chef's "Nomayini" single which was featured on Channel O and Trace shortly after its release. His stand out verse on the track has allowed fans a fresh look on what's to come next and insights into how the industry works. The vocal artist believes his breakthrough is imminent and he is looking to achieve award-winning status in the South African music industry.

A FSBO is the proprietor of the house they wish to promote, and they aren't a licensed actual property agent.

With sites such as Zillow and Trulia accessible on demand, the for-sale-by-proprietor process (FSBO) is more and more in style as we speak as more info is readily available online, and as smartphone pictures has made advertising ridiculously straightforward. We had spent some huge cash and sweat on our residence over the years of owning it so we would have liked to get high dollar for it. The crew at Billings by Proprietor have been great to work with and took the troubles out of the entire process and wow ! It's exhausting sufficient at present in this atmosphere for a Realtor to sell a home by no means mind a consumer who thinks they know how you can do it. As I mention in the article, most sellers do not value their homes correctly. The FSBO vendor can even want to make certain the buyer knows when and where the closing has been scheduled, and the precise quantity of the check needed to shut the sale. Lately, there has been a lot demand for any such service that real estate agents have realized that it may be a viable enterprise to deal with this niche exclusively. No one is extra knowledgeable in regards to the dwelling, neighborhood, latest improvements and upkeep prices then the proprietor. For Sale or Rent By Proprietor permits owners to promote or rent with out agents – Rentals $99 Sales $199 until OFFERED, LEASED or WITHDRAWN with no commissions and no hidden prices. If you are interested by a property that's For Sale by Proprietor, you'll have to take a look at it and make any gives or negotiations with the vendor with out the advantage of a real property agent's assist. The internet is now by far the preferred means for buyers and tenants to find suitable properties for sale or lease. A California 'on the market by proprietor' residence sale is probalby going to be different from a Texas FSBO transaction. FSBO properties getting chilly" available on the market and buyers eager to make the most of FSBO financial savings each actually remove the savings that might come from a vendor going without an agent. It may not include off-market and private listings, properties with unknown bought dates and listings which may be exclusively listed on other websites. We do not see or scent what we get used to. I have been in houses that absolutely reeked of pet odors or cigarette smoke, and the owner could not smell a thing. Having an experienced adviser to help along the best way can carry some peace of mind — and possibly even the next closing sale worth. We protect the buyer and the seller in our transactions so they can't come back and sue each other or any parties concerned as a result of every little thing was disclosed before the sale. A mini business has sprung up to assist For Sale by Proprietor sellers for a fraction of commission prices. Can I Listing A For Sale By Owner House On HAR? Through the residence-shopping for process you'll see tons of homes, largely listed by real property brokers. The average difference is calculated by determining the difference between KBB suggested retail value and the value of each vehicle listed for sale by Hertz and averaging the sum of those differences. Your private home will seem off market when Zillow receives the up to date itemizing standing out of your listing service. Those who put their properties in the marketplace as FSBO are inclined to set a value based mostly on a web-based evaluation tool or the lofty sum that the neighbor down the road claims they were provided—two strategies which are liable to put the itemizing worth manner off. Fizber is a free listing on the market by owner (FSBO) service providing a full suite of easy to use instruments designed to maximize publicity and simplify the house sales process (like a flat payment mls itemizing ). The average dwelling vendor can save up to $15,000 promoting their residence for sale by proprietor (FSBO) primarily based on the US average sales price of $250,000.

Overland literary journal > Latest > Politics > The case for Open Borders 5 August 2013 14 August 2013 Politics / Activism The case for Open Borders Underlying Bernard Keane's article – '"Let them all come" is "stop the boats" for progressives' – is a deep sense of indignation about the idea that Australians are racist. The oft-repeated argument is that elitist, disconnected, latte-sippers tut-tut over 'Bogan' racism, serving to displace the problem. So far so uninteresting. What this leads to is largely meaningless tit for tats between white people, stultifying crucial debates to be had about refugee policy. The focus is narrowed to disagreements over the purpose of the Left that fail to focus on the issue at hand. Paradoxically, the key thing that Keane admonishes left-liberal handwringers for is deflecting a focus on policy by prioritising unworkable ideals, such as 'let them all come'. However, articles that themselves do not suggest concrete responses to the (manufactured) 'refugee crisis' and merely tell others off for failing to do the same are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Part of the reason why the asylum debate among the Left fails to look beyond the end of its own nose is the exclusion of racialised voices from the public arena. Understanding why white, left-wing Australians of a certain ilk are so invested in divesting their society of responsibility for racism is key to understanding why someone like Keane can dismiss 'let them all come' – or as I prefer it, Open Borders – as impractical and irresponsible. There is a telling passage in Richard Cooke's article cited by Keane: Our treatment of boat people […is] different to how Australians themselves treat immigrants of every other kind. It is also different to almost all our other expressed attitudes about race, and is so pervasive that it's shared by immigrants, even, in some cases, by refugees themselves. The idea that immigrants and refugees participate in the vilification of 'boat people' ignores how race functions. The racial state rewards newcomers for the participation in the othering of those lower down in the racial pecking order. Put another way, there is only one way to gain limited acceptance in Australia, and that is to internalise and perform the values and ideas of white society. None of this is to excuse individual attitudes towards boat arrivals, whoever they are expressed by. It is merely to explain that understanding Australian racism is central, and not at all irrelevant (as Keane and Cooke argue), to the viciousness of refugee policy. The counter-argument to this is that it is tactically illogical to call the majority of the population racist, and with this I agree and have argued previously. I also agree with Tad Tietze's critique that to understand Rudd's PNG plan as uniquely concerned with vote-winning is to misunderstand that this is about the hardball politics of neutralisation. However, accepting that the PNG plan has little to do with courting racists, and insisting that the politics of 'stop the boats' (from both sides of the political fence) manufacture racism rather than respond to it, questions still remain of how best to respond to this latest attack on refugees. Centring the argument around the need to stop drownings, as Keane has done, may be understandable, but his concern that 'let them all come' inevitably ensures more deaths at sea does not follow. He himself admits that it is possible to ensure safe passage for those on the boats, or to give them the visas required to arrive by plane and claim asylum. He finds this solution inadequate because it is to accept that boat arrivals will trump the 20 000 officially picked for permanent resettlement from the world's refugee camps. Keane tacitly accepts three things with these remarks. First, that there is, as the Right says, a 'queue' and that those coming by boat are jumping it. Second, Keane implies that allowing those seeking to arrive by boat to come and facilitating them to do it safely would open a floodgate, and that Australia would be overwhelmed with an overwhelming refugee population to settle. Thirdly, that national borders are logical. I shall answer each in turn: The part of the Left that dislikes the argument that the exclusion of refugees is due to a lack of compassion replicates that very argument by assuming that there is a sliding scale of deservedness when it comes to refugees; that somehow you are more deserving of an Australian visa if you waited your turn patiently in a refugee camp. Making this assessment is extremely telling of the imperialist mindset that lurks beneath many of these interventions. Even among those who agree that refugees deserve to be allowed to come to Australia under a system they deem fair participate in denying refugees agency by giving the Australian state sole decision-making power. One can argue this, but it must be openly declared that to do so gives Australia power that other states do not have – Jordan, for instance, does not get to decide about the number of Syrians that flood its borders daily. Why should refugees not try to come to Australia if they think they can make it? They will anyway. Keane has accepted the Right's hysteria that the whole world wants to migrate to Australia and would do so given the chance. But the majority of refugees want to go home and only seek to migrate if they perceive that they have no other choice. Understanding contemporary migration, including asylum, as part of a regulatory racial regime would help us to understand how the fear of an unstoppable inflow of migrants is made possible by the way in which race structures the economy and labour, not just locally but globally. If we were to understand migration, as Phillip Cole explains, as part of a global process of inflows and outflows that consists of emigration as much as it does immigration – and as a process bound up with capitalist exploitation as a global phenomenon, not one contained within national borders – we would do much better in explaining away the hysteria. People fear refugees because they are blinkered by a parochial view of the national and are given no guides to making sense of the interconnectedness of global economic, social and political realities. Migrants and refugees themselves should be our guides in furthering this understanding. If it is true that Australian immigration, which no mainstream party proposes to curtail, is rapidly changing the country in irreversible ways, it is possible to move towards an acceptance of the logical fallacy of national borders. Phillip Cole notes that national borders are the exception rather than the rule: that there are myriad borders that determine our possibilities in various ways but which we cross freely daily (for example, those between states in federal Australia). He argues that national borders are unique in that we are policed only on entry and not on exit. International migration, according to Cole, should treat immigration and emigration equivalently, thus enabling us to see the extent of migration as a constant flow rather than a one-way street. We already know this is logical when we make arguments about the paradoxically lax treatment of overstaying backpackers in comparison to those dubbed 'illegal migrants'. While Cole's paper on the ethics of open borders is essential reading, he over-privileges an individualist human rights framework which fails to give place to the salience of race as a means of explaining why so many object to his vision for open borders. Thus, opposing the national border entails a critique of capitalism that unveils its global dimensions, revealing the extent to which we are all exploited and exploitable. It also means unveiling the arbitrariness of the border and of the significance placed on immigration, just as Cole does. However, we cannot make a watertight case for open borders without simultaneously working towards the dismantling of racial inequality, because it is the tethering of race to nation, even in an age of 'super diversity', that defeats the open borders stance. A step towards this dismantling is to understand the border not as something external and unyielding but, as Gloria Anzaldúa has taught us, an internal borderland or meeting point within each of us. National borders are to be negotiated, recast and abandoned as we reach a more profound understanding of their arbitrariness. The only way to achieve this understanding and to move towards openness – rather than closure – is to reveal the ways in which the 'colonial power matrix' serves to open borders for some, while closing them for the majority. The relative openness or closure of the border is racially defined. Denying this by arguing about asylum from the navel-gazing perspective of a tiny group of people – the Australian left – is a view that falls into nationalist traps by failing to contextualise migration within the global colonial power matrix, and misses the opportunity to offer an alternative.

Please see http://ntw.net46.net/NTWmodel/NTWModeloverview.htm @landrights4all 6 August 2013 at 11.39 am "Put another way, there is only one way to gain limited acceptance in Australia, and that is to internalise and perform the values and ideas of white society" Surely this requires a greater explanation. What is the process and the means by which immigrants internatlise the values of white society? How do we know that *that's* why first and second generation migrants are suspicious of immigrants, as opposed to being because of pre-existing attitudes towards immigration. Nothing in the article seems to give the reader a good reason to pick one option over the other. re: "Keane tacitly accepts… that there is, as the Right says, a 'queue' and that those coming by boat are jumping it." I'm not sure he is saying there is a queue. He is saying that if 20,000 refugees arrived by boat, then there would be no humanitarian intake left for non-boat arrivals. That's not the same as saying there *is* a queue, with all the subsequent connotations about deserving and undeserving refugees. Simply that, according the current policy framework, the decisions of a refugee to arrive by boat affects the chances of refugee who stayed in a processing camp. Kamala Emanuel says: 6 August 2013 at 1.08 pm Chris attributes to Keane, "if 20,000 refugees arrived by boat, then there would be no humanitarian intake left for non-boat arrivals" and argues this is not the same as saying there is a queue. But the "current policy framework" that makes the acceptance of an asylum-seeker who arrives by boat "affect… the chances of a refugee who stayed in a processing camp" is a deliberate decision by the government to create a queue where there wasn't one, in order to be able to 1. restrict Australia's refugee intake and 2. promote vilification of asylum-seekers who arrive in Australia by boat *as* "queue-jumpers". Alana Lentin says: 'Prior attitudes to towards immigration', Chris? By saying this you are assuming that attitudes are created in a vacuum. If one becomes a migrant, or comes from a background of migration, it is fair to assume that one would not have negative attitudes towards migration before migrating. One's attitudes to migration may become negative, however, in an atmosphere of overriding negativity where social capital can be gained by reproducing mainstream attitudes to migration. Extensive research, most prominently from the US, has shown how successive generations are whitened in relation to those further down the racial pecking order. The Irish became white through their participating in racial discrimination of African-Americans, not least through their high representation in the police force. The word 'lynching' derives from that particular history. For more, look up David Roediger and Noel Ignatieff's work. In settler colonies like Australia, the US, and Canada, an extra layer of legitimitation of authenticity exists due to the foundational illegitimacy of the original migrants who must constantly prove themselves as the most entitled inhabitants while they know the fundamental untruth that this represents. Newer racialised migrants must fight for acceptability among Anglo-Celts by, in part, proving their rejection of purportedly illegitimate ownership claims, foremost those of Aboriginals and, secondarily of so-called 'boat people'. Rejecting the latter lends legitimacy to one's own migration which is remythologised as having been done according to 'the rules', and thus legitimate (this goes for all non-Aboriginal Australians, though whites do not have to emphatically prove their legitimacy in the same way that non-white, more recent migrants do). Having said all this, I do not want to overstate the case as I do not believe that more than a minority of newer migrants participate actively in the scapegoating of refugees; this is first and foremost a white Australian phenomenon!! Chris Finnigan says: Kamala Emanuel "But the "current policy framework" that makes the acceptance of an asylum-seeker who arrives by boat "affect… the chances of a refugee who stayed in a processing camp" is a deliberate decision by the government to create a queue where there wasn't one." That's a perfectly good point, but how does that show that *Bernard Keane* believes or supports the notion of a "queue"? He seems to just be pointing out the logical consequences of the govt's policy, not endorsing it. "If one becomes a migrant, or comes from a background of migration, it is fair to assume that one would not have negative attitudes towards migration before migrating." Why should we assume that? That they don't have negative attitudes towards other migrants from any other racial backgrounds, simply on the basis that they are all migrating to the same country? I think that assumption implies a belief that attitudes are created in a vacuum, and that there is no prior context in which migrants can interpret race before arriving in Australia. My own (limited, personal, anecdotal) experience has been that there are range of racial dimensions and prejudices that fly way beneath the radar of most white people – insofar as that, within broad homogenous labels white people tend to use, like "Indian", "Sri Lankan" etc, there is a vast plurality of different racial and cultural groups with mixed views of each other. For example, someone in Australia, originally from a particular region of India, may generally display antipathy to "white Australians, but *also* towards Indian Australians from a particular region. (I have an Indian partner, and on a couple of occasions a waitress of Indian background has excitedly asked my partner what part of India she is from, only to get disdainful when she replied "Fijian Indian.") I'll definitely check out the David Roediger and Noel Ignatieff work, but based on the experiences (generally in the hospitality workplace) I've had, I'm not so sure where the notion that "newer racialised migrants must fight for acceptability among Anglo-Celts" fits into this equation. @ChrisFinnigan Haskell Musry says: 11 August 2013 at 3.16 am You haven't mixed much if you haven't met migrants (non-whites) that arrive fully loaded with racism and prejudice. However, I think an unspoken issue from our ministers our ministers and senior public servants is terrible fear of another future possibility of boat people that would be unstoppable. That is the 4th largest populated country on the earth having more 17,000 islands and an unknown number of boats (shall we say 'superlative' number) capable of reaching Australia's northern coast. Lets consider as a fun exercise – If just a quarter of a percent of the 250 million Indonesians, in response to a man-made (civil war?) or natural disaster, jumped into tens of thousands of boats and headed for our shores how our armed services would round them up and send them to New Guinea. LOL This is the nightmare scenario that is never publicly discussed. Instead – "We will not tolerate refugees coming by boats!!!" is screamed over and over. Darius Flint says: 11 August 2013 at 5.32 pm Would any left leaning pro refugee person tell me this one thing……how many? How MANY do we accept into our nation to house,educate,fund etc.How MANY.If you are so fond of lecturing Australians who do not share your worldview as to WHY we should be opening our borders to be *compassionate* you should also be able to provide us with the figures that would make all this fiscally responsible,let alone the sociological impact of Muslim immigration en masse.So…how many? One hundred thousand? One million? Five million? No leftie BS avoiding the question please,that's if you still persist in 'speaking as the moral compass of us all' in these matters

Have a question about running? You're in the right place. Every Tuesday, world-renowned coach, author and athlete Hal Higdon posts and answers athlete questions here. You can submit your question by joining the discussions on Hal Higdon's Virtual Training Bulletin Boards. Should marathon pace runs be done at the pace suggested by previous race times at different distances (as suggested by the Greg McMillan prediction charts) or the pace that you actually expect to run for the specific marathon, which in my case would be considerably slower? The prediction charts suggest I should be able to run 9:47-minute miles for my marathon, but as this is my first race at the 26.2-mile distance, I lack endurance and do not expect to be able to sustain anything near that pace. The marathon I plan to run provides pacers, including one for a 4:25 finish, a 10:10 pace, which is slower than I would probably attempt on my own, but still a time I would be very happy with. So, should my pace runs be at 9:50, 10:00 or 10:10? Why not all three? The entire purpose of pace runs is to learn pace, not finish the workout in perfect pace, each mile within a few seconds of all the rest. That's a confidence builder, but running different paces for different workouts, or even in the same workout, will give you more a feel for your body's capabilities. I have no doubt that you can cruise through a pace workout running 9:50 miles. But do you have the discipline to slow down to a slightly more comfortable 10:00 pace or a definitely more reasonable 10:10 pace, one more likely to insure a strong finish in your first marathon? In a marathon with pacers, it is easy to let someone else do the thinking for you, but in a crowded field it also is easy to get separated from your pace group, particularly when going through aid stations. So use the pace workouts to teach yourself different paces, since this capability will help you not only in your coming marathon, but also in future races at various distances as well.

Worldwide 2014 May Day round-up SCNCC | May 1, 2014 Demonstrators in Turkey defied a standing government ban on protests this International Workers Day to voice opposition to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan's decade-plus rule. There were confrontations between crowds and police on the streets of Istanbul. (See footage of police retreating from protesters below.) #MayDay in #Turkey. 12 powerful photos of protests, tear gas & street battles. http://t.co/akl5jF9UT1 via @mashable pic.twitter.com/npGatXcrTl — Jim Roberts (@nycjim) May 2, 2014 In Phnom Penh, Cambodia where a prohibition on rallies is in place as well, labor activists also braved blows from the authorities, who sought to confine them with barbed-wire barricades. Family members who lost love ones when police attacked demonstrators seeking a higher minimum wage in January joined the protest, carrying portraits of the deceased. Approximately 100,000 unionists filled the streets of Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, where work stopages have been on an uptick for months. "Minimum wages in Indonesia are far behind those in Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia…even when living costs in those countries are relatively similar with Indonesia," Said Iqbal, leader of the Indonesian Trade Union, told the Wall Street Journal. In Morocco, calls for higher wages were heeded, with the government announcing a 10 percent bump to the legal minimum on the eve of the workers holiday. Garment workers in Bengladesh, plagued by a spate of recent mass deaths resulting from fires and crumbling architechture in factories making goods for Western export, demanded tighter industrial safety standards in Dhaka on Thursday. Twenty-five thousand people marched in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where the price of basic food items has doubled over the past year after the government cut suger subsidies, a commodity in high demand. Complicating the crisis, Malaysias is heavily dependent on food imports. May Day rallies in Berlin were somewhat calmer than they have been in the past, with neo-Nazi's cancelling a planned march which in previous years had sparked violence. Neo-Nazi's did gather in St. Petersburg, Russia but neither they nor the police managed to stop members of the city's LGBT community from peacefully marching for sexual freedom. "In Russia, and in St Petersburg in particular, this holiday has for a long time been not just for workers," gay rights activists Igor Kochetkov told the UK Guardian. "It's the day of the year when the authorities allow all rallies and demonstrations, and so everyone comes out on 1 May, nationalists, communists, environmentalists. It's an overview of all the political views in St Petersburg." Elsewhere in Europe demonstrators pledged to fight austarity measures that governments have imposed since the world financial crisis began in 2008. "Without Quality Employment, There is no Recovery" read the banner unions marched behind in in Bilbao, Spain. In the United States, where International Workers Day also marks a day of action for immigrant rights, System Change Not Climate Change together with 2012 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein joined hundreds with the May 1st Coalition in New York City's Union Square. Demands included a $15 an hour minimum wage, an end to deportations for undocumented Americans, and the right to a safe and healthy environment. Oakland and Los Angelas saw large crowds as well, while smaller demonstrations took place in dozens of other U.S. towns and cities. Environmental groups, including System Change, joined demonstrations in Santa Barbara, while in Denver members of Socialist Alternative and the International Socialist Organization gathered near the State Capitol Building to celebrate Workers Day. Denver: Meanwhile over on the World Wide Web, the Marxists Internet Archive was forced to meet a May 1 deadline and take down the 50-volume complete works of Karl Marx from its site, after the publishing firm Lawrence & Wishart asserted its copyright over the materials. There's a petition circulating online to get the Marx's writings back in the hands of the masses.

A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence; it emits light when exposed to some type of radiant energy. The term is used both for fluorescent or phosphorescent substances which glow on exposure to ultraviolet or visible light, and cathodoluminescent substances which glow when struck by an electron beam (cathode rays) in a cathode-ray tube. When a phosphor is exposed to radiation, the orbital electrons in its molecules are excited to a higher energy level; when they return to their former level they emit the energy as light of a certain color. Phosphors can be classified into two categories: fluorescent substances which emit the energy immediately and stop glowing when the exciting radiation is turned off, and phosphorescent substances which emit the energy after a delay, so they keep glowing after the radiation is turned off, decaying in brightness over a period of milliseconds to days. Fluorescent materials are used in applications in which the phosphor is excited continuously: cathode-ray tubes (CRT) and plasma video display screens, fluoroscope screens, fluorescent lights, scintillation sensors, and white LEDs, and luminous paints for black light art. Phosphorescent materials are used where a persistent light is needed, such as glow-in-the-dark watch faces and aircraft instruments, and in radar screens to allow the target 'blips' to remain visible as the radar beam rotates. CRT phosphors were standardized beginning around World War II and designated by the letter "P" followed by a number. Phosphorus, the light-emitting chemical element for which phosphors are named, emits light due to chemiluminescence, not phosphorescence. Light-emission process The scintillation process in inorganic materials is due to the electronic band structure found in the crystals. An incoming particle can excite an electron from the valence band to either the conduction band or the exciton band (located just below the conduction band and separated from the valence band by an energy gap). This leaves an associated hole behind, in the valence band. Impurities create electronic levels in the forbidden gap. The excitons are loosely bound electron–hole pairs that wander through the crystal lattice until they are captured as a whole by impurity centers. The latter then rapidly de-excite by emitting scintillation light (fast component). In the case of inorganic scintillators, the activator impurities are typically chosen so that the emitted light is in the visible range or near-UV, where photomultipliers are effective. The holes associated with electrons in the conduction band are independent from the latter. Those holes and electrons are captured successively by impurity centers exciting certain metastable states not accessible to the excitons. The delayed de-excitation of those metastable impurity states, slowed by reliance on the low-probability forbidden mechanism, again results in light emission (slow component). Phosphors are often transition-metal compounds or rare-earth compounds of various types. In inorganic phosphors, these inhomogeneities in the crystal structure are created usually by addition of a trace amount of dopants, impurities called activators. (In rare cases dislocations or other crystal defects can play the role of the impurity.) The wavelength emitted by the emission center is dependent on the atom itself and on the surrounding crystal structure. Materials Phosphors are usually made from a suitable host material with an added activator. The best known type is a copper-activated zinc sulfide (ZnS) and the silver-activated zinc sulfide (zinc sulfide silver). The host materials are typically oxides, nitrides and oxynitrides, sulfides, selenides, halides or silicates of zinc, cadmium, manganese, aluminium, silicon, or various rare-earth metals. The activators prolong the emission time (afterglow). In turn, other materials (such as nickel) can be used to quench the afterglow and shorten the decay part of the phosphor emission characteristics. Many phosphor powders are produced in low-temperature processes, such as sol-gel, and usually require post-annealing at temperatures of ~1000 °C, which is undesirable for many applications. However, proper optimization of the growth process allows manufacturers to avoid the annealing. Phosphors used for fluorescent lamps require a multi-step production process, with details that vary depending on the particular phosphor. Bulk material must be milled to obtain a desired particle size range, since large particles produce a poor-quality lamp coating, and small particles produce less light and degrade more quickly. During the firing of the phosphor, process conditions must be controlled to prevent oxidation of the phosphor activators or contamination from the process vessels. After milling, the phosphor may be washed to remove minor excess of activator elements. Volatile elements must not be allowed to escape during processing. Lamp manufacturers have changed compositions of phosphors to eliminate some toxic elements, such as beryllium, cadmium, or thallium, formerly used. The commonly quoted parameters for phosphors are the wavelength of emission maximum (in nanometers, or alternatively color temperature in kelvins for white blends), the peak width (in nanometers at 50% of intensity), and decay time (in seconds). Examples: Calcium sulfide with strontium sulfide with bismuth as activator, , yields blue light with glow times up to 12 hours, red and orange are modifications of the zinc sulfide formula. Red color can be obtained from strontium sulfide. Zinc sulfide with about 5 ppm of a copper activator is the most common phosphor for the glow-in-the-dark toys and items. It is also called GS phosphor. Mix of zinc sulfide and cadmium sulfide emit color depending on their ratio; increasing of the CdS content shifts the output color towards longer wavelengths; its persistence ranges between 1–10 hours. Strontium aluminate activated by europium, SrAl2O4:Eu(II):Dy(III), is a material developed in 1993 by Nemoto & Co. engineer Yasumitsu Aoki with higher brightness and significantly longer glow persistence; it produces green and aqua hues, where green gives the highest brightness and aqua the longest glow time. SrAl2O4:Eu:Dy is about 10 times brighter, 10 times longer glowing, and 10 times more expensive than ZnS:Cu. The excitation wavelengths for strontium aluminate range from 200 to 450 nm. The wavelength for its green formulation is 520 nm, its blue-green version emits at 505 nm, and the blue one emits at 490 nm. Colors with longer wavelengths can be obtained from the strontium aluminate as well, though for the price of some loss of brightness. Phosphor degradation Many phosphors tend to lose efficiency gradually by several mechanisms. The activators can undergo change of valence (usually oxidation), the crystal lattice degrades, atoms – often the activators – diffuse through the material, the surface undergoes chemical reactions with the environment with consequent loss of efficiency or buildup of a layer absorbing either the exciting or the radiated energy, etc. The degradation of electroluminescent devices depends on frequency of driving current, the luminance level, and temperature; moisture impairs phosphor lifetime very noticeably as well. Harder, high-melting, water-insoluble materials display lower tendency to lose luminescence under operation. Examples: BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM), a plasma-display phosphor, undergoes oxidation of the dopant during baking. Three mechanisms are involved; absorption of oxygen atoms into oxygen vacancies on the crystal surface, diffusion of Eu(II) along the conductive layer, and electron transfer from Eu(II) to absorbed oxygen atoms, leading to formation of Eu(III) with corresponding loss of emissivity. Thin coating of aluminium phosphate or lanthanum(III) phosphate is effective in creating a barrier layer blocking access of oxygen to the BAM phosphor, for the cost of reduction of phosphor efficiency. Addition of hydrogen, acting as a reducing agent, to argon in the plasma displays significantly extends the lifetime of BAM:Eu2+ phosphor, by reducing the Eu(III) atoms back to Eu(II). Y2O3:Eu phosphors under electron bombardment in presence of oxygen form a non-phosphorescent layer on the surface, where electron–hole pairs recombine nonradiatively via surface states. ZnS:Mn, used in AC thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices degrades mainly due to formation of deep-level traps, by reaction of water molecules with the dopant; the traps act as centers for nonradiative recombination. The traps also damage the crystal lattice. Phosphor aging leads to decreased brightness and elevated threshold voltage. ZnS-based phosphors in CRTs and FEDs degrade by surface excitation, coulombic damage, build-up of electric charge, and thermal quenching. Electron-stimulated reactions of the surface are directly correlated to loss of brightness. The electrons dissociate impurities in the environment, the reactive oxygen species then attack the surface and form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide with traces of carbon, and nonradiative zinc oxide and zinc sulfate on the surface; the reactive hydrogen removes sulfur from the surface as hydrogen sulfide, forming nonradiative layer of metallic zinc. Sulfur can be also removed as sulfur oxides. ZnS and CdS phosphors degrade by reduction of the metal ions by captured electrons. The M2+ ions are reduced to M+; two M+ then exchange an electron and become one M2+ and one neutral M atom. The reduced metal can be observed as a visible darkening of the phosphor layer. The darkening (and the brightness loss) is proportional to the phosphor's exposure to electrons and can be observed on some CRT screens that displayed the same image (e.g. a terminal login screen) for prolonged periods. Europium(II)-doped alkaline earth aluminates degrade by formation of color centers. :Ce3+ degrades by loss of luminescent Ce3+ ions. :Mn (P1) degrades by desorption of oxygen under electron bombardment. Oxide phosphors can degrade rapidly in presence of fluoride ions, remaining from incomplete removal of flux from phosphor synthesis. Loosely packed phosphors, e.g. when an excess of silica gel (formed from the potassium silicate binder) is present, have tendency to locally overheat due to poor thermal conductivity. E.g. :Tb3+ is subject to accelerated degradation at higher temperatures. Applications Lighting Phosphor layers provide most of the light produced by fluorescent lamps, and are also used to improve the balance of light produced by metal halide lamps. Various neon signs use phosphor layers to produce different colors of light. Electroluminescent displays found, for example, in aircraft instrument panels, use a phosphor layer to produce glare-free illumination or as numeric and graphic display devices. White LED lamps consist of a blue or ultra-violet emitter with a phosphor coating that emits at longer wavelengths, giving a full spectrum of visible light. Unfocused and undeflected cathode-ray tubes have been used as stroboscope lamps since 1958. Phosphor thermometry Phosphor thermometry is a temperature measurement approach that uses the temperature dependence of certain phosphors. For this, a phosphor coating is applied to a surface of interest and, usually, the decay time is the emission parameter that indicates temperature. Because the illumination and detection optics can be situated remotely, the method may be used for moving surfaces such as high speed motor surfaces. Also, phosphor may be applied to the end of an optical fiber as an optical analog of a thermocouple. Glow-in-the-dark toys In these applications, the phosphor is directly added to the plastic used to mold the toys, or mixed with a binder for use as paints. ZnS:Cu phosphor is used in glow-in-the-dark cosmetic creams frequently used for Halloween make-ups. Generally, the persistence of the phosphor increases as the wavelength increases. See also lightstick for chemiluminescence-based glowing items. Oxygen sensing Quenching of the triplet state by O2 (which has a triplet ground state) as a result of Dexter energy transfer is well known in solutions of phosphorescent heavy-metal complexes and doped polymers. In recent years, phosphorescence porous materials(such as Metal–organic frameworks and Covalent organic frameworks) have shown promising oxygen sensing capabilities, for their non-linear gas-adsorption in ultra-low partial pressures of oxygen. Postage stamps Phosphor banded stamps first appeared in 1959 as guides for machines to sort mail. Around the world many varieties exist with different amounts of banding. Postage stamps are sometimes collected by whether or not they are "tagged" with phosphor (or printed on luminescent paper). Radioluminescence Zinc sulfide phosphors are used with radioactive materials, where the phosphor was excited by the alpha- and beta-decaying isotopes, to create luminescent paint for dials of watches and instruments (radium dials). Between 1913 and 1950 radium-228 and radium-226 were used to activate a phosphor made of silver doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Ag), which gave a greenish glow. The phosphor is not suitable to be used in layers thicker than 25 mg/cm2, as the self-absorption of the light then becomes a problem. Furthermore, zinc sulfide undergoes degradation of its crystal lattice structure, leading to gradual loss of brightness significantly faster than the depletion of radium. ZnS:Ag coated spinthariscope screens were used by Ernest Rutherford in his experiments discovering atomic nucleus. Copper doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Cu) is the most common phosphor used and yields blue-green light. Copper and magnesium doped zinc sulfide yields yellow-orange light. Tritium is also used as a source of radiation in various products utilizing tritium illumination. Electroluminescence Electroluminescence can be exploited in light sources. Such sources typically emit from a large area, which makes them suitable for backlights of LCD displays. The excitation of the phosphor is usually achieved by application of high-intensity electric field, usually with suitable frequency. Current electroluminescent light sources tend to degrade with use, resulting in their relatively short operation lifetimes. ZnS:Cu was the first formulation successfully displaying electroluminescence, tested at 1936 by Georges Destriau in Madame Marie Curie laboratories in Paris. Powder or AC electroluminescence is found in a variety of backlight and night light applications. Several groups offer branded EL offerings (e.g. IndiGlo used in some Timex watches) or "Lighttape", another trade name of an electroluminescent material, used in electroluminescent light strips. The Apollo space program is often credited with being the first significant use of EL for backlights and lighting. White LEDs White light-emitting diodes are usually blue InGaN LEDs with a coating of a suitable material. Cerium(III)-doped YAG (YAG:Ce3+, or Y3Al5O12:Ce3+) is often used; it absorbs the light from the blue LED and emits in a broad range from greenish to reddish, with most of its output in yellow. This yellow emission combined with the remaining blue emission gives the "white" light, which can be adjusted to color temperature as warm (yellowish) or cold (bluish) white. The pale yellow emission of the Ce3+:YAG can be tuned by substituting the cerium with other rare-earth elements such as terbium and gadolinium and can even be further adjusted by substituting some or all of the aluminium in the YAG with gallium. However, this process is not one of phosphorescence. The yellow light is produced by a process known as scintillation, the complete absence of an afterglow being one of the characteristics of the process. Some rare-earth-doped Sialons are photoluminescent and can serve as phosphors. Europium(II)-doped β-SiAlON absorbs in ultraviolet and visible light spectrum and emits intense broadband visible emission. Its luminance and color does not change significantly with temperature, due to the temperature-stable crystal structure. It has a great potential as a green down-conversion phosphor for white LEDs; a yellow variant also exists (α-SiAlON). For white LEDs, a blue LED is used with a yellow phosphor, or with a green and yellow SiAlON phosphor and a red CaAlSiN3-based (CASN) phosphor. White LEDs can also be made by coating near-ultraviolet-emitting LEDs with a mixture of high-efficiency europium-based red- and blue-emitting phosphors plus green-emitting copper- and aluminium-doped zinc sulfide . This is a method analogous to the way fluorescent lamps work. Some newer white LEDs use a yellow and blue emitter in series, to approximate white; this technology is used in some Motorola phones such as the Blackberry as well as LED lighting and the original-version stacked emitters by using GaN on SiC on InGaP but was later found to fracture at higher drive currents. Many white LEDs used in general lighting systems can be used for data transfer, as, for example, in systems that modulate the LED to act as a beacon. It is also common for white LEDs to use phosphors other than Ce:YAG, or to use two or three phosphors to achieve a higher CRI, often at the cost of efficiency. Examples of additional phosphors are R9, which produces a saturated red, nitrides which produce red, and aluminates such as lutetium aluminum garnet that produce green. Silicate phosphors are brighter but fade more quickly, and are used in LCD LED backlights in mobile devices. LED phosphors can be placed directly over the die or made into a dome and placed above the LED: this approach is known as a remote phosphor. Some colored LEDs, instead of using a colored LED, use a blue LED with a colored phosphor because such an arrangement is more efficient than a colored LED. Oxynitride phosphors can also be used in LEDs. The precursors used to make the phosphors may degrade when exposed to air. Cathode-ray tubes Cathode-ray tubes produce signal-generated light patterns in a (typically) round or rectangular format. Bulky CRTs were used in the black-and-white household television (TV) sets that became popular in the 1950s, as well as first-generation, tube-based color TVs, and most earlier computer monitors. CRTs have also been widely used in scientific and engineering instrumentation, such as oscilloscopes, usually with a single phosphor color, typically green. Phosphors for such applications may have long afterglow, for increased image persistence. The phosphors can be deposited as either thin film, or as discrete particles, a powder bound to the surface. Thin films have better lifetime and better resolution, but provide less bright and less efficient image than powder ones. This is caused by multiple internal reflections in the thin film, scattering the emitted light. White (in black-and-white): The mix of zinc cadmium sulfide and zinc sulfide silver, the is the white P4 phosphor used in black and white television CRTs. Mixes of yellow and blue phosphors are usual. Mixes of red, green and blue, or a single white phosphor, can also be encountered. Red: Yttrium oxide-sulfide activated with europium is used as the red phosphor in color CRTs. The development of color TV took a long time due to the search for a red phosphor. The first red emitting rare-earth phosphor, YVO4:Eu3+, was introduced by Levine and Palilla as a primary color in television in 1964. In single crystal form, it was used as an excellent polarizer and laser material. Yellow: When mixed with cadmium sulfide, the resulting zinc cadmium sulfide , provides strong yellow light. Green: Combination of zinc sulfide with copper, the P31 phosphor or , provides green light peaking at 531 nm, with long glow. Blue: Combination of zinc sulfide with few ppm of silver, the ZnS:Ag, when excited by electrons, provides strong blue glow with maximum at 450 nm, with short afterglow with 200 nanosecond duration. It is known as the P22B phosphor. This material, zinc sulfide silver, is still one of the most efficient phosphors in cathode-ray tubes. It is used as a blue phosphor in color CRTs. The phosphors are usually poor electrical conductors. This may lead to deposition of residual charge on the screen, effectively decreasing the energy of the impacting electrons due to electrostatic repulsion (an effect known as "sticking"). To eliminate this, a thin layer of aluminium (about 100 nm) is deposited over the phosphors, usually by vacuum evaporation, and connected to the conductive layer inside the tube. This layer also reflects the phosphor light to the desired direction, and protects the phosphor from ion bombardment resulting from an imperfect vacuum. To reduce the image degradation by reflection of ambient light, contrast can be increased by several methods. In addition to black masking of unused areas of screen, the phosphor particles in color screens are coated with pigments of matching color. For example, the red phosphors are coated with ferric oxide (replacing earlier Cd(S,Se) due to cadmium toxicity), blue phosphors can be coated with marine blue (CoO·n) or ultramarine (). Green phosphors based on ZnS:Cu do not have to be coated due to their own yellowish color. Black-and-white television CRTs The black-and-white television screens require an emission color close to white. Usually, a combination of phosphors is employed. The most common combination is (blue + yellow). Other ones are (blue + yellow), and (blue + green + red – does not contain cadmium and has poor efficiency). The color tone can be adjusted by the ratios of the components. As the compositions contain discrete grains of different phosphors, they produce image that may not be entirely smooth. A single, white-emitting phosphor, overcomes this obstacle. Due to its low efficiency, it is used only on very small screens. The screens are typically covered with phosphor using sedimentation coating, where particles suspended in a solution are let to settle on the surface. Reduced-palette color CRTs For displaying of a limited palette of colors, there are a few options. In beam penetration tubes, different color phosphors are layered and separated with dielectric material. The acceleration voltage is used to determine the energy of the electrons; lower-energy ones are absorbed in the top layer of the phosphor, while some of the higher-energy ones shoot through and are absorbed in the lower layer. So either the first color or a mixture of the first and second color is shown. With a display with red outer layer and green inner layer, the manipulation of accelerating voltage can produce a continuum of colors from red through orange and yellow to green. Another method is using a mixture of two phosphors with different characteristics. The brightness of one is linearly dependent on electron flux, while the other one's brightness saturates at higher fluxes—the phosphor does not emit any more light regardless of how many more electrons impact it. At low electron flux, both phosphors emit together; at higher fluxes, the luminous contribution of the nonsaturating phosphor prevails, changing the combined color. Such displays can have high resolution, due to absence of two-dimensional structuring of RGB CRT phosphors. Their color palette is, however, very limited. They were used e.g. in some older military radar displays. Color television CRTs The phosphors in color CRTs need higher contrast and resolution than the black-and-white ones. The energy density of the electron beam is about 100 times greater than in black-and-white CRTs; the electron spot is focused to about 0.2 mm diameter instead of about 0.6 mm diameter of the black-and-white CRTs. Effects related to electron irradiation degradation are therefore more pronounced. Color CRTs require three different phosphors, emitting in red, green and blue, patterned on the screen. Three separate electron guns are used for color production (except for displays that use beam-index tube technology, which is rare). The red phosphor has always been a problem, being the dimmest of the three necessitating the brighter green and blue electron beam currents be adjusted down to make them equal the red phosphor's lower brightness. This made early color TVs only usable indoors as bright light made it impossible to see the dim picture, while portable black-and-white TVs viewable in outdoor sunlight were already common. The composition of the phosphors changed over time, as better phosphors were developed and as environmental concerns led to lowering the content of cadmium and later abandoning it entirely. The was replaced with with lower cadmium/zinc ratio, and then with cadmium-free . The blue phosphor stayed generally unchanged, a silver-doped zinc sulfide. The green phosphor initially used manganese-doped zinc silicate, then evolved through silver-activated cadmium-zinc sulfide, to lower-cadmium copper-aluminium activated formula, and then to cadmium-free version of the same. The red phosphor saw the most changes; it was originally manganese-activated zinc phosphate, then a silver-activated cadmium-zinc sulfide, then the europium(III) activated phosphors appeared; first in an yttrium vanadate matrix, then in yttrium oxide and currently in yttrium oxysulfide. The evolution of the phosphors was therefore (ordered by B-G-R):  –  –   –  –   –  –  (1964–?)  –  –  or  –  or  – Projection televisions For projection televisions, where the beam power density can be two orders of magnitude higher than in conventional CRTs, some different phosphors have to be used. For blue color, is employed. However, it saturates. can be used as an alternative that is more linear at high energy densities. For green, a terbium-activated ; its color purity and brightness at low excitation densities is worse than the zinc sulfide alternative, but it behaves linear at high excitation energy densities, while zinc sulfide saturates. However, it also saturates, so or can be substituted. is bright but water-sensitive, degradation-prone, and the plate-like morphology of its crystals hampers its use; these problems are solved now, so it is gaining use due to its higher linearity. is used for red emission.

The show focuses on a team of people working at the fictional Montecito Resort & Casino dealing with issues that arise within the working environment, ranging from valet parking and restaurant management to casino security. The series originally aired on Monday nights, though NBC later moved the series to Friday nights first to 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central and then to 10 PM Eastern/9 PM Central. The show ended syndication in the United States in July 2013 and after a long run of weekday back to back episodes it was moved to a graveyard slot of 4 am- then removed totally from TNT's lineup (on TNT). The series originally centered on Ed Deline (James Caan), a strict ex-CIA officer who went from being Head of Security to becoming President of Operations of the Montecito, whose job is to run the day-to-day operations of the casino. Following his departure from the series in Season 5, former Marine Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel), Ed's former protégé, became the Montecito's new President of Operations.

This 427.5 miles (688.0 km) race took place on March 1 of that year at the 1.5 miles (2.4 km) Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the namesake Nevada city. The race was won by Kyle Busch. The race was telecast by Fox with a radio broadcast by Performance Racing Network (terrestrial) and Sirius XM Radio (satellite). The race title reflects the new title sponsor, Carroll Shelby International, which has its home base at LVMS, and the Shelby Cobra 427, which is made in Nevada. The race had previously been 400.5 miles (644.5 km) in length, but will as of 2009 have an extra 27 miles (43 km) added into the race name which equates to an addition of 18 laps, meaning that the race will now be a 285-lap duration. Jeff Gordon surpassed 20,000 career laps led during the middle of the race, and is 6th surpassing Rusty Wallace. Kyle Busch won the pole for the Shelby 427 at a new track record of 185.995 mph. The remainder of the top 10 were Kyle's brother Kurt Busch (185.707 mph), Jimmie Johnson(185.688 mph), David Reutimann (185.624 mph), Marcos Ambrose (185.459 mph), Ryan Newman (185.395 mph), Kasey Kahne (185.382 mph), Mark Martin (185.312 mph), Kevin Harvick (185.280 mph), Tony Stewart (185.217 mph).

Uyghurs and Fashion: Are We All Complicit? 6 Aralık 2020 6 Aralık 2020 Merve Görkem The humanitarian crisis going on in China has been getting more attention lately. I feel like it's now the time to talk about it on this blog. Who are the Uyghurs and what's happening in China? The Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group originating from East China. They are predominantly Muslim while cultural reflections of Islam varies between different regions. They are one of the 55 officially recognized minorities in China and mostly located in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China. Other countries with significant Uyghur populations after China are Kazakhstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, respectively. Uyghur politician and historian Muhammad Amin Bughra writes that the history of Uyghurs dates back to 6400 years ago while the official Chinese view asserts that Uyghurs in Xinjiang migrated from Mongolia during the ninth century and became a main wing then. In 2018, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said that "from tens of thousands to upwards of a million Uyghurs" were detained and put into re-education camps in Xinjiang, China. United Nations human rights experts called for China to close all those camps and release the detainees. However, China claimed that all of this were rumours made up by those who were against China and her policies in Xinjiang. China basically denied all the allegations but claimed that they only sent people who were involved in minor crimes to vocational training centres. x An Article from 2018 – Detention of Uighurs must end, UN tells China, amid claims of prison camps However, the rumours have been increasing since then. Not rumours but research and report by independent organizations to be exact. China has detained many claiming that they have committed crimes or supported East Turkestan independence movement (or simply because they've reached an overseas website!). There is forced separation, torture and cultural sterilisaiton. What is the link between our clothes and this crisis? Fashion is made possible at all stages by living ad breathing human beings. That's why the question #whomademyclothes will always be relevant. As for this humanitarian crisis in particular, a coalition of more than 180 human rights groups claimed that many of the world's biggest fashion brands are working with ateliers/factories etc that use forced labour of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. These brands source cotton and yarn extensively from Xinjiang. According to the coalition, as many as one in five cotton products sold across the world are tainted with forced labour and human rights violations occurring there (source). China is the largest cotton producer in the world, with 84% of its cotton coming from the Xinjiang region. Cotton and yarn produced in Xinjiang are used extensively in other key garment-producing countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam. Xinjiang cotton and yarn are also used in textiles and home furnishings (source). The coalition has published a brand list that contains the brands who source from the region and indirectly support the forced labour and human rights violations occuring there. We need to hold these brands accountable and ask them to change their behaviour. Our action means so much more now. If you'd like to reach the full brand list that the coalition has published, click here. Another great article on the issue is Mulan, Uyghurs And The (Un)Ethics Of Fashion.

I am up faaaaar too late, and I still have some work to do before I can go to bed, but I wanted to get this little lightbulb recorded for posterity before I forget. Tonight was the first Freeze practice of the season, and it was GREAT. I feel like a wet lasagna noodle with overcooked fusili arms at this point, but as Al noted when I got home, it's only by pushing past the point where you think you can't go any further that you build stamina and skill. (This is true with weightlifting, so it's not surprising that it'd be true with training in general). After warmups (suicides, circles, and a passing drill), we did the Czechoslovakian drill, and amazingly I did it correctly the first time and with only slight delays to ponder in which direction to skate next on subsequent tries. We then did a couple variations on a drill designed to (a) get us to shoot from farther out, and (b) get us to consider our options when skating into the zone with the puck. On one of the later variations, Billy challenged the puck carrier as she skated along the boards and behind the net. I got by him the first time I carried the puck, but by the second time, we were into the last 20 minutes of practice, and I was getting tired. I totally let him knock me off the puck without him even trying that hard, and I blamed my noodle arms for not being able to control my stick (and therefore the puck) with enough authority. It was totally like every game I played with the Barons this summer, where I'd have the puck taken away from me the second after I got it. It's not my arms, noodle or strong, that make the most difference in maintaining possession of the puck when challenged. It's my legs.

Elegug Stacks are two limestone pillars standing freely, a short distance from the cliffs on the coastline of Pembrokeshire in south west Wales. Due to their inaccessibility – helped by the surrounding area being closed by the Ministry of Defence when they use their tank testing ranges – the multitude of birds are allowed to breed in comparative peace. I was lucky enough to visit on a very photogenic day last month, when the birds were roosting, the sun was shining and the coastal area was open to public access. The stacks take their name from the Welsh word for "guillemot". Absolutely brilliant, its not often that I'm gobsmacked, but this series has really hiot the button. i just love it, love it, love it and love it!

Peterborough have sacked manager Mark Cooper after just two months in charge at London Road. Cooper, 41, was the surprise choice to replace Darren Ferguson in November when he was recruited from Blue Square Premier side Kettering, but won just one game in charge as he failed to lift Posh clear of the relegation zone in the Coca-Cola Championship. A statement said: "Peterborough United and Mark Cooper are parting company with immediate effect following the termination of his contract. The club would like to thank Mark for his professional and dedicated service during his time at London Road and wish him all the best for the future." Saturday's 2-0 defeat at cash-strapped Crystal Palace left Peterborough rooted to the foot of the Championship with just 18 points from 28 games. The move to dismiss Cooper is the latest drama in an unsettled season for Posh after back-to-back promotions saw them climb from League Two to the Championship. Confusion surrounded the decision to part company with Ferguson in November, with director of football Barry Fry claiming in a press conference that he believed Ferguson had been tapped up for another job. Those claims were denied by Ferguson, who just last week took his new side Preston to London Road and left with a 1-0 win for North End. Chairman Darragh MacAnthony released a statement before that game claiming that Ferguson had taken members of the Posh squad drinking over Christmas and had unsettled players with offers to join him at Preston. Ferguson appeared embarrassed by the claims after the match, saying: "I'm not happy about what was said and I have to defend myself against allegations of tapping up the Peterborough players and other items. "I got the club into the Championship for the second time in 75 years and we should just leave it like that. It seems like they're trying to ruin my reputation. I wish I didn't have to talk about those comments but I'm sure people appreciate my need to give my reaction."

Scripture Student ← JOY TO YOU, TOO! " . . . IN THOSE DAYS . . . " → Let's begin right here: "In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.). And everyone went to their own town to register. "So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." "When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." " So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told." Luke 2:1-20 New International Version (NIV) In Those Days "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria." Luke 2:1-2 Do you mind if we take a few minutes and think about THE TIMING of what I'm calling an "Eternal Event?" Luke says the story unfolded "In those days." I've asked myself what was different or special about those days? Nothing, it appears. Absolutely nothing. In those days, for instance, the 'High' (Augustus) Caesar issued an order that all those under his rule were to be taxed. So what's new or different about that? In our day, we have a saying that: "Nothing's certain but death and taxes." There's nothing new here. At his own considerable expense and inconvenience, each and every citizen had to go back to his birthplace to register. We aren't told what kind of records were kept; or where; or how the totals were collected, calculated and kept … or what the penalty might be for fraud or default. This may have been the most convenient, most efficient way to register and pay taxes from the Roman government's point of view. Rome was in absolute power; what care had they for poor, miserable, inferior peasants? Do you get the picture? Rome, the much despised, wielded cruel, savage power, usied a mailed fist like a sledgehammer to capture and control almost all of the then known world. The iron toed Roman boot on the necks of the Jews ground down and humiliated an intensely stubborn and proud people. Those who had considered themselves to be God's "Chosen People" must have felt they'd been grabbed by the neck like a chicken with taxes wrung out to the last shekel or denarius. And we grumble and complain about "hard times" and bad times and downturns in our economy and a looming bona fide "depression" and deprivation. By comparison, I doubt most of us even know what hardship, destitution, and deprivation really are. In those days, they knew the meaning of suffering ~ economic, mental, physical, and spiritual ~ to the point of tortured exhaustion. They sighed and trudged wearily along, wondering perhaps if each step and breath would be their last . . . and not really caring if it were. That's what it was like, in those days. People were tired. Weary. Oppressed. Crushed down, hopeless and defeated. The known world labored restlessly under the militarily enforced PAX Romana (Roman Peace). After centuries of trial and error, failed policies, disappointed philosophical and religious quests, historians tell us a certain taedium vitae (Latin for "tiredness of life") hung over the entire population like a heavy pall. Even those who held onto the Messianic hope did it very tentatively, only half-heartedly. "How long, O Lord, How Long?" they wondered collectively. "Haven't we had enough?" In THOSE DAYS…I'm REALLY intrigued by some of the words and phrases used in what we consider the "Nativity Narratives." Those are two of them. In my thinking, though, this is how Luke plants this story in human history. . . in time and on terra firma (Latin for "firm ground.") He's not soaring around in space in some 'Never-Never Land.' It is obvious what he's talking about. And Whom. And when. And where. He isn't talking here about some lofty, unidentifiable, impersonal deity inhabiting some lofty pinnacle on a distant, mythical. mystical Mount Olympus proportions and hurling lightning bolts from that high point across the universe. Luke is speaking about a real baby boy. Born in a REAL place, and in REAL time. Breathing, crying, nursing, even occasionally wetting his diapers made of swaddling cloths, and sleeping peacefully in His mother's arms, or there nestling and snuggling on the straw in the makeshift baby bed which had been borrowed from the farm animals and hastily improvised to meet an "emergency." What a sight! What a night!!! It all took place in those days. I've kept asking myself: "What was so special about "those days?" Nothing. Nothing at all. Until you take into account that on one of them Jesus was born. Perhaps a day JUST TODAY! In some sense, even those dark days provided the perfect backdrop for a miracle. The kind of "times that try men's souls" turned out to be, in fact, the days in which "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory," Those were the days, but certainly not the "good ole days!" However, on one of those days, a group of angels shouted or sang in hamony, or in unison and said: "Unto you is born THIS DAY, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord." The really important question is this: What does this message have upon me IN THESE DAYS? And on THIS DAY? "A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes … and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German pastor and philosopher (1906-1945) imprisoned and executed for his role in the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

Toftnäs säteri är en herrgård och historisk sätesgård i Värnamo kommun. Innan 1974 låg gården i Bolmsö socken men överfördes då till Torskinge socken. Den ligger längst ut på Toftnäset vid sjön Bolmens norra strand. Historia Sätesgården omtalas första gången 1339 då riddaren och det svenska riksrådet Gustaf Nilsson Bjelke dagtecknade ett brev på gården. Bjelke var hövitsman på Varberg och till Varbergs borg levererades också den skatt som han indrev i Finnveden. Nästa gång sätesgården finns omtalad i bevarade källor är 1364. Av brevet framgår att ägaren till Toftnäs då var Peter Porse "jn Tofnæs". Peters mor var troligtvis dotter till Gustaf Nilsson Bjelke. Denna tid var en orolig period i Nordens historia och Peter Porse var involverad i stridigheterna. Det svenska riksrådet hade avsatt Magnus Eriksson och valde istället Albrekt av Mecklenburg till ny kung. Peter Porse kämpade dock för den gamle kungens sak men blev tillfångatagen. Hans systers man var den mäktige och Albrekt trogne drotsen Bo Jonsson Grip vilket ledde till bland annat stora arvstvister. År 1379 blev Bo Jonsson ägare till Toftnäs. Toftnäs ägare var under hela medeltiden ansedda män i den högsta riksledningen. 1491 blev således riksföreståndaren Sten Sture den äldre ägare till egendomen. År 1551 inbyttes den till Gustav Vasa. Johan III gav under sin tid bort Toftnäs som förläning till Per Jonsson på Gavlö. År 1640 övergick egendomen från att ha varit kronogods till att bli frälsegods. Ägare var då Johan Henriksson Reuter men denna nyttjade inte gården som sin huvudgård. Under den nordiska sjuårskriget var gränsområdena mot det danska Halland, Skåne och Blekinge utsatta för ständiga skövlingar. 1564 bröt en dansk här in mot Bolmenområdet och ödelade svårt. Huruvida Toftnäs då blev bränt är dock osäkert. Däremot brann huvudbyggnaden ner av vådeld 1723 och den blev aldrig återuppbyggd. I stället omändrades de kvarvarande flygelbyggnaderna till bostäder. Bland mera prominenta gäster på säteriet kan nämnas Bismarcks besök här i slutet av 1800-talet. Av den forna huvudbyggnaden återstår i dag en stor stengrund med långsidan ut mot Bolmens strand. Väster om och vinkelrät mot denna ses en stengrund till en större sidolänga. Båda dessa grunder består av smärre men väl lagda stenar vilket med stor sannolikhet visar på att själva byggnaderna varit uppförda av trä. Då Bolmen omkring 1870 sänktes upp till två meter har huvudbyggnaden i stort sett varit helt omgiven av vatten. Vid långsidan ut mot sjön ses också en äldre hamnanläggning med två stenpirar. Handlingar rörande säteriets äldre historia har bevarats av en märklig slump. Prästen L.F. Palmgren var under 1870- och 1880-talen mycket aktiv som fornforskare. Han grävde bland annat ut ett stort antal vikingagravar på Bolmsö. Vid besök på säteriet upptäckte han att arbetarna använde gamla dokument runt sina lunchsmörgåsar. Dessa kom från en "dagsverksstuga". Här fann han åtskilliga mögliga buntar av handlingar från 1500-talet och framåt. Dessa var rester efter det försvunna gårdsarkivet.

Q: Java framework recommendation for asp.net mvc developer I'm a C# ASP.net MVC Developer. I got a new job and have to move to the java world (which I left few years ago :)) Are there any recommendations for asp.net mvc equivalent java framework also, are there any simmilar technologies like LINQ in java world? (I've used LINQ with entity framework, I guess I would use Hibernate with it's own query language) Also, is there a good book / tutorial you know for C# to Java transition? update: I'm currenly looking at Spring MVC A: Check Play framework A: Apache Struts is an equivalent to ASP.NET MVC: http://struts.apache.org/ A: I used Struts 2 and no problem. http://struts.apache.org/2.x/index.html Note: I do NOT recommend Struts 1. They are completely different. Struts 2 is way better. Disclaimer: I use Ruby on Rails now :) Edit: The official docs has plenty of documentation. http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1.1/docs/home.html A: I'd recommend looking at Spring. It's like Enterprise Framework on the .NET side, if I understand the latter correctly. It's a library of modules built on top of dependency injection and aspect oriented programming. A: My experience with JSF 2.0 has been good and i dont feel any need to learn Spring. From books i can recommend "JavaServer faces 2.0: the complete reference" By Ed Burns, Neil Griffin, Chris Schalk A: are there any simmilar technologies like LINQ in java world? Check out Scala language. It's full of functional idioms while cooperates with Java pretty smoothly (actually, it's bytecode is the same as Java's. For example, F# requires it's runtime to execute assembly). And there is awesome Lift framework supporting MVC pattern among other great features.

I used to write off Marvel's Ultimate universe as a cheap imitation of the real Earth-616 Marvel continuity that began with Fantastic Four #1 in 1961. Now? It's possibly my preferred recommendation for new Marvel comic readers. The Ultimate Marvel Universe is thrilling, a fantastic entry-point, and rarely wastes time on slow plodding storylines. For the uninitiated, Marvel's Ultimate line of comics takes all the existing and known characters – Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers – and recasts them in a similar, yet different Ultimate Universe set in the 2000s. It's the sort of concept that could have fallen flat on its head, but actually works for some of the best Marvel stories of the decade. Below you'll find a reading order for the Ultimate Universe. Although I split up all the issues, I would mention that you can actually read a lot of these series without too much concern for the others. For example, I read over 100 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man before I ever even thought about the outside Ultimate Universe, and the reading experience was highly enjoyable. So roll with the approach that feels right to you. The Ultimate Universe is an enjoyable and completely palatable read in its entirety. Nonetheless, if you still want all killer no filler – and if Sum 41 taught us anything, it's that you most certainly do – here are my picks for the best 10 Ultimate Universe comics of all time! Please note that the issue by issue reading order can be found below, and that the rest of these collections can be found in the Ultimate Universe trade collector's guide. This story is all flashback so you could choose to read it after Daredevil makes an appearance in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, but I prefer it as origin here. Another flashback that is actually published well after a number of the issues below. Daredevil and Elektra are not hugely essential to many of the following Spider-Man, X-Men, and Ultimates stories (although they do pop up) so you could always come back to these stories if you like. Flashback Iron Man origins from series released in 2005 and 2007-2008 respectively. I consider these pretty inessential and prefer Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's fully formed Tony Stark in The Ultimates. That said, Iron Man's origins in the Ultimate universe are very different than those of Earth-616 (the main Marvel Universe), so it's some semi-interesting background. Worth noting as well that several in the comments have declared these issues out of continuity, and I'm hard pressed to argue otherwise. Ultimate Fantastic Four didn't actually launch until 2003 – well after The Ultimates. The team is referenced off-handedly in Ultimates #2, but I prefer their origin here. Alright, after some notes in the comments let's go ahead and call this one: Out of continuity! It's a weird Fantastic Four story that never really aligns with the Ultimate Fantastic Four that would come. Technically the Ultimate Vision saga was collected in short stories across the Ultimate line of comics. So, for example, Ultimate Spider-Man #86 included a piece of the Vision story. In Marvel Unlimited, though, you can just read Ultimate Vision #0 altogether, and frankly it's a lot more cohesive. Most of this showdown is published well after Ultimates v2 but I think it makes more sense before the conclusion of the Ultimates second wave. The Ultimate Spider-Man numbering returns to the original counting for the 150th issue. The Ultimate Universe Concludes in Secret Wars! Check out the future of the Ultimates in Ultimates Vol. 1: Omniversal ! If you like Comic Book Herald, and are able to donate, any small contribution will help keep CBH alive and full of new comics guides and content. Donate here! Or learn more about easy ways to support Comic Book Hearld! Thank you for reading! ultimate marvel team up was a dissapoinment. I recommend not reading it. My only question is does it affect the storyline if you dont read Marvel Team Up? No, not really. They're referenced in passing, but nothing you can't get from context. I do agree though, they are poor! Just started using this reading guide and was wondering if when I get to Secret Wars will I be able to start reading Earth 616 from the aftermath of Secret Wars or not. By the way I love this website so much it has helped me appreciate comics again. Also interested in an answer to this. I've started going through, this is mainly about curiosity about the Maker and the Fantastic Four, but why are the Marvel Teamups placed before Ultimate X-Men? The Team-ups came out after. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't Marvel comics (under a different name) first published in 1936? Is there a list/reading order starting from there? The Ultimate universe started in 2000. Hi. I'm a newbie to comics because I never had access to them when I was younger but digital comics have really helped. So since I'm just starting out, is this list all the issues or just your special picks? If these are just your special picks is there a way to know all the issues. Also, do you advice reading just comics of certain characters like for example I want to read Black Panther comics (and those of others characters too) or do you think I read comics by order of year of publication and read the whole lot instead of focusing on one character? This is a super helpful guide, because I own hardbacks of at least half of the Ultimate universe but fell off right before Miles Morales was introduced. Now I want to catch up! There's something missing though… Both Ultimate Power and a few one-off stories use characters from Supreme Power, which is sort of an ULTIMATE version of the Supremeverse. Therefore, I believe that JMS's run on Supreme Power is worth reading even before you get into the mainstream stuff. It's certainly more relevant than One Tin Soldier, Ultimate Iron Man or Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra! Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra, Vol. 1 is basically flashbacks from their time at the college. So it is ok if you decide to read it later, it is not going to affect the chronology at all. where does ultimate end fit in? and where does it go from there? does the ultimate comic world end? Also a big fan of the Ultimate Universe but I only ever read Spidey/X-Men and the first couple trades of UFF. Your guide is excellent! I have a few notes from my read through though, I'm currently starting Ultimate Power. Ultimate X-Men #66 – #74: After the Date Night storyline Kitty mentions to Wolverine that Spider-Man saved them from the Marauders. It took me a lot of searching to find out they were referring to Deadpool's team in the story arc in Ultimate Spider-Man #91 – #96 which is way ahead of your reading order. I think Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk also does better after the full run of Ultimates 2, as Betty Ross is not jailed or participating in any fights as She-Hulk. It would also explain better why *spoiler* Fury lets Banner go at the end of the story. I haven't finished Ultimate Power #1 – #9 yet but it starts out with Kitty and Peter still dating and from what I can tell the FF don't seem to know Peter is Spidey. having it come before Ultimate Spider-Man #97 – #105 would explain why Peter felt he could just show up and ask the FF for help as well, as he seems to be about to help them with some sort of Dimension crossing adventure. ….Okay I just finished the last issue. Your time line for Ultimate Power does work better considering how it ends… Although this is the most plot-holey storyline I've read in the Ultimateverse. Peter is confused as to where Fury is after all this, even though he was there. Not to mention the plot hole with Kitty/Peter and how the F Doom returned from the Z-universe. Okay imma stop replying now. I'm not sure if you're still following this and commenting back…but thought I'd give it a try. I've been following this list for about a year and a half and have now managed to get myself every TPB up to "cataclysm" – so very close to finally finishing the whole universe! I was wondering whether there are any Ultimate tpb that you've missed off this list intentionally or whether anyone knows of any that have been missed? I would generally recommend reading the Supreme Power comic books to supplement your understanding of Ultimate Power. You'll have a better understanding of Squadron Supreme and also Nick Fury and Power Princess switch places for a while. It isn't really necessary to read, but the Age of Ultron event in the mainstream (kind of) Marvel universe is responsible for Galactus entering the Ultimate universe and kicking off Cataclysm. Miles Morales also crosses over into the mainstream Marvel universe in the pages of All-New X-Men #31-36. Also Miles Morales and Jessica Drew both have parts in the Spider-Verse crossover event, which is a great read even without Miles and Jessica. That aside, all of the regular Ultimate universe stuff seems to be accounted for, although there are issues with this order. Fantastic! Thank you for the information! I'll certainly dip into Supreme Power, and I've polished off the Spider-Verse once or twice already! Again, thank you for the info! Good to know I've nearly cracked the lot! Thank you so much for this guides, it's been really helpful! I'm halfaw through reading the Ultimate Universe and I feel like 2012 Marvel Now would be a good entry point to the classic universe. My question is: do you think I should finish the whole Ultimate comics first, then Marvel Now, then Secret War? Or does it make more sense to read them both at the same time? And if so, after what Ultimate event is it wise to start Marvel Now? Sorry for my English, I'm a French reader. Thanks again for your amazing work! 1. Nightcrawler in x men comics has had a telling off and is no longer an x man, however, cut to a spider man comic, and there he is fighting alongside them. 2. Magneto is in hiding, yet cut to the spider man comics, and suddenly hes fighting the x men, and all the x men are together having disbanded in a previous x men comic! 3. Peter parker has an assignment where he has to look after these pretend babies. then the assignment finishes, yet in the following annual, guess what! There are the babies again! 4. Wolverine vs hulk. great. but afterwards…hang on, why is he suddenly back with the x men? And then after a few issues he goes to meet Nick Fury. To talk about what? To talk about fighting the hulk of course. I let a few slide, but it's getting silly now! No offence, but i feel like ive wasted a lot of time going through this when I could be looking at a more accurate one. ( in some comics it even says "this takes place after issue blah blah blah" and you can't even get that right!) Nice try, but no cigar, bub. In the time it took you to write that up, you could have easily fucked off and found somewhere else to moan. Don't appreciate the work put into this, don't look at this. Your list has truly been a great help, and I thank you for putting it together. However, I noticed that you have it listed that you should read Ultimate X-men #72-#74 before you read Ultimate Spider-man #91-#94. After reading those issues, I've found it would probably make more sense to read Spider-man #91-#94 BEFORE Ultimate X-men #72-#74, as Ultimate X-men #72 references the events that occurred in Ultimate Spider-man #91-#94 (which heavily features the X-men). Other than that, it is a very good reading order, and I've really enjoyed reading the Ultimate Universe using it. Hi. I'm around that part and decided to pay close attention to what you said about the events on USM #91-94 being referenced on UXM #72. What I found is that one of the X-men says, and I quote: "(…) He totally saved our butts from the MARAUDERS while you were gone. (…)" However, the events on the aforementioned USM issues are with the Reavers… I don't know, it could be a typo on the UXM issue or something that happened off-scene. Anyway, your comments on the matter are truly appreciated and they make me read more thoroughly. I'd say jump on with the My Marvelous Year reading club. February is starting and we are getting in 2001, which starts leading us into Disassembled and the long line of Avengers Events. I'm curious about why ultimate origins is listed so far down when it's basically an origins story that starts towards the begging? Or am I missing something? I like it at the beggining of my bookshelf personally but that's just me. Thanks to this guide I have read every single 1610 comic. Plenty of high points (USM being a personal fav from issue 1 all the way through), and few lows (The last few arcs of UXM were less than stellar) made reading it a pleasure. I really enjoyed Ultimatum myself and was glad to see that the changes that happened stayed happened, something that the 616 could learn from I think. If a character dies, don't bring them back 1000 times. I've yet to read Secret Wars to see how everything finishes, but now I've joined the reading club I think I'll be taking a break from finding out for a while. I see The Squadron Supreme coming up and I was doing skimming some info about them. Another list has Supreme Power v1 1-6 in the list, after UXM # 39 and 7-18 later on, along with Doctor Spectrum. I suppose they explain the origins of Squadron Surpreme (?) but these were run under MAX a marvel imprint and I wasn't able to find them on Unlimited. I did, however, come across Squadron Supreme Saga, which seems like it might be summary of that run. Can you confirm? Is there a reason you chose to leave these off? Oh, and yes, the Ultimate Annual #1 happens after Ultimates 2 #4. I'm an old brazilian reader of Marvel's comics (my history traces back to 1998) who happened to get very apart of it and recently have been caught back to this reading, and all I have to tell you is that this whole work of yours is just jaw dropping, and I can't congratulate enough for it. Thanks for this! I just subscribed recently to your Marvelous Year reading club so I've been frantically catching up with that (So close now! Just got to 1985, so I'll be caught up with you guys soon) but have been wanting to check out the Ultimate Universe. I remember reading through the Ultimate Spider-Man comics when I was younger but don't remember them as well, and have barely read any of the Ultimate X-Men or Fantastic Four comics. Your lists are so great though! I followed through your Modern Marvel guide up until civil war before subscribing to the reading club, and I have to say they work perfectly so that you don't miss out on any details in the comic timelines. Stay awesome.

For a full minute he reflected with such apparent satisfaction on his son and heir's vulnerability to human ailments that there is no telling when he would have left off, if his reverie had not been broken by his wife placing a pipe in his hands and a bowl on the table. Without any display of emotion or undue haste, the old groom filled the pipe, lit it, drew a long breath of smoke, and slowly blew it into the air, regarding his good partner throughout with a look that clearly showed the importance he attached to the experiment. He took a second puff, raised his eyes from hers to the ceiling, and his broad face crinkled into a grin, the like of which his wife had never seen before on his countenance. He puffed tantalisingly at the pipe, and surveyed his wife's intense curiosity with studied approbation. A few days later, in the chapel decked with flowers, the marriage of Selwyn and Elise took place. In spite of her disappointment that Elise was not marrying a title, Lady Durwent rose superbly to the occasion. She led the weeping and the laughing with the utmost heartiness, and recalled her own wedding so eloquently and vividly that those who didn't know about the Ironmonger supposed she must have been the daughter of a marchioness at least, and was probably related to royalty.

There are 2 or 3 posts from Laos waiting for a writeup, but here's a story I don't want to wait to write about. I hitchhiked from Ban Nakasang to the Cambodian border and then 200 km into the country. The reasons being: I wanted to do something more adventurous, enjoy solitude of hitching in a middle of nowhere and avoid buses, since there doesn't seem to be any scam-free cross-border service. Even though a couple experienced backpackers warned me against it, mentioning extremely low traffic and scam-friendly atmosphere around the border, I had a great day. Mostly due to the incredibly generous people, and not just on the Cambodian side. I didn't even have to wave at the first driver – he just pulled over when he saw me walking. That's nothing, though, compared to the friendliness of Cambodian people. Well, except for the border officials, of course, who managed to extort the standard $5 bribe. When I demanded a receipt and they produced one (no doubt fake, but I had no way of proving that) my line of defense fell. Touche, you corrupt scumbags. At least the Lao officials gave up and stamped me out without paying. Incidentally, they did so soon after I started whistling and singing out of boredom. Needless to say, my vocal skills are, ekhem, somewhat lacking. Back to the nicer part of population, though. I walked a few kilometers from the border with hardly any vehicles passing me by. Despite scorching sun, I enjoyed it with a nice European-like forest on both sides of the road (a nice change after dense jungles of Lao) and no people in sight. Around noon I finally stumbled upon a small patch of shade on my side of the road and used this opportunity to take a break. Within few minutes a young lady approached me with her kids and grandmother. They said they were worried about my safety and invited me to rest and have a meal or drink at their house just 50 meters away. The young lady even offered to stand by the road and call me if there is anything coming or drive me to the nearest town (60 km away!). Since Vietnam I keep my guards up and distrust local people, especially after what I had read about Cambodia, but I think their concerns and offers might have been genuine. It seemed too elaborate and sophisticated for a scam. And I don't think any tourists ever show up in that area. Even after I declined and assured them I was fine, the young lady kept me company until I started walking again to regain my solitude. But before that, two policemen stopped and said they had to drive me back to the crossing, so that I could take a regular (i.e., rip-off) bus, quoting concerns for my safety as the reason. After a short conversation, though, they let me stay, without being pushy or insistent. They just warned that they could not warrantee safety. Maybe I really met that mythological creature: an honest policeman in Cambodia. The lady seemed genuinely surprised by my worries when I saw them approaching. Anyway, soon after I got up, I caught a short ride on a scooter and then a long one, all the way to my destination, in the box of a pick-up truck. The cabin and the box where completely packed, but the universal rule in SE Asia is: The vehicle is never full. The bone-breaking (tailbone-breaking, to be specific) bumps were not the hardest part. Neither was lack of legroom, forcing me to sit in a position that in Yoga might be called A crane who thinks he is a snail. The worst part were the nice, wide and flat unpaved roads, allowing for high speed and resulting in everything in the box getting covered by a thick layer of dust, including yours truly. I was really glad to have my facemask with me. And my swimming goggles. Anyway, the family driving that truck was incredibly friendly. An explanation of all the care and generosity I had encountered might be what the son of the family told me: Cambodians find the idea of solo travel terrifying. Perhaps that's one of the many scars from the Khmer Rouge times. The second part of my trip was no less exciting. Other than spending another night with a heavy thunderstorm in an abandoned building, I had some exciting encounters with pickpockets, muggers, scammers and corrupt law enforcement.

Electrical/Electronics April 1, 2005 | Electronics & Computers Full-Circle Resolver-to-Linear-Analog Converter This circuit costs less and is less susceptible to error. Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama A circuit generates sinusoidal excitation signals for a shaft-angle resolver and, like the arctangent circuit described in the preceding article, generates an analog voltage proportional to the shaft angle. The disadvantages of the circuit described in the preceding article arise from the fact that it must be made from precise analog subcircuits, including a functional block capable of implementing some trigonometric identities; this circuitry tends to be expensive, sensitive to noise, and susceptible to errors caused by temperature-induced drifts and imprecise matching of gains and phases. These disadvantages are overcome by the design of the present circuit. The present circuit (see figure) includes an excitation circuit, which generates signals K sin(ωt) and K cos(ωt) [where K is an amplitude, ω denotes 2π × a carrier frequency (the design value of which is 10 kHz), and t denotes time]. These signals are applied to the excitation terminals of a shaft-angle resolver, causing the resolver to put out signals C sin(ωt– θ) and Ccos(ωt– θ). The cosine excitation signal and the cosine resolver output signal are processed through inverting comparator circuits, which are configured to function as inverting squarers, to obtain logic-level or square-wave signals –LL[cos(ωt)] and –LL[cos(ωt– θ)], respectively. These signals are fed as inputs to a block containing digital logic circuits that effectively measure the phase difference (which equals θ between the two logic-level signals). The output of this block is a pulse-width-modulated signal, PWM(θ), the time-averaged value of which ranges from 0 to 5 VDC as θ ranges from –180 to +180°. PWM(θ) is fed to a block of amplifying and level-shifting circuitry, which converts the input PWM waveform to an output waveform that switches between precise reference voltage levels of +10 and –10 V. This waveform is processed by a two-pole, low-pass filter, which removes the carrier-frequency component. The final output signal is a DC potential, proportional to θ that ranges continuously from –10 V at θ = –180° to +10 V at θ = +180°. This work was done by Dean C. Alhorn, Dennis A. Smith, and David E. Howard of Marshall Space Flight Center. This invention has been patented by NASA (U.S. Patent No. 6,104,328).

Poul Kjaerholm is in the vanguard of the modern furniture designers. His work is legendary in the pantheon of architectural inspired design, and he helped to popularize steel, textile, and woven cane as landmark materials. Born in 1929 in Oster Vra, Denmark, Poul Kjaerholm began as a cabinetmaker's apprentice. He finished his understudy as a cabinet maker with Grønbech in 1948, and graduated from the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen in 1952 with the PK25 chair that is still produced by Fritz Hansen. In 1955, Poul Kjaerholm released the famous PK22, for which he received the Lunning Award. In 1958, he became an assistant at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen, and a lecturer in 1959. He became head of the Institute for Design in 1973, and finally professor in 1976 until his premature death in 1980. During these years he designed dozens of chairs, lounge chairs, and tables that became landmarks for Danish furniture design, including the famous PK24 lounge chair. Most of his furniture was produced by his friend E. Kold Christensen in Hellerup. His designs are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the V&A Museum in London, and other museum collections in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany. He won numerous awards in industrial and graphic design, including two Grand Prix at the Milan Trienale (1957 & 1960), the ID Award, and the legendary Lunning Award. Fritz Hansen is the official source for the entire Poul Kjaerholm series. This venerable Danish manufacturer offers high-end product at stratospheric prices. We recommend the Frit Hansen line to all of our customers where money is of no object. However, not all collectors have unlimited funds. Gibraltar Furniture is a good resource for design addicts looking for top-rate Poul Kjaerholm inspired reproductions of the originals at popular prices. All of the materials, design lines, and specs for all of the Gibraltar releases are the same as the European manufacturers. Gibraltar out-sources the production of these design classics to our overseas factories in order to cut labor costs. We use the same high quality imported leather, wicker, and stainless steel frames that the Danish manufacturers use. We only accept the very best, imported, quality items at Gibraltar! This applies to the quality of hides as well as the fabrics that we use on all Poul Kjaerholm products. Consequently, we have chosen the finest suppliers for all of our raw materials. For instance, we insist on using only 100% imported Italian leather. The hides must be of superlative quality. We insist that every manufacturing detail conforms to the original lines. Craftsmanship, sewing and upholstery are a huge priority to us. In the end, the biggest difference that you will notice is the large sum of money that you will save via Gibraltar vs. the European makers. Historically, most of Poul Kjaerholm's pieces have been priced at astronomically high levels. For instance, the PK22 retails for $3,655.00 at Hive Modern. Gibraltar is proud to offer a similar piece for only $1,475.00! Similarly, the PK24 Chaise Lounge in Wicker/Leather is offered at $11,732.00 at Retro Modern. Gibraltar sells an item of similar design for only $1,500.00. A wise consumer would end up saving over $10,000 by going with the Beverly Hills 90210 version instead of the higher priced Fritz Hansen original design. The PK20 Easy Chair in Leather will run you $8,576.00 from Retro Modern. You can get a replica of this release from Gibraltar for only $1,475.00. With the additional savings, you could plan a trip to Denmark for your entire family.

Ravaged Samoa last month The government makes it illegal to make non-essential domestic travel on the roads while vaccination units cross the country with 40,000 still to be vaccinated. Also, the opposition calls for an inquiry into the low vaccination rates which began after a mistake by two nurses last year which resulted in the deaths of two children. Samoa measles epidemic: non-essential road travel banned © RNZ Sources: RNZ The Netherlands begins a vaccination programme against COVID-19 with a nurse becoming the first person to be vaccinated with Pfizer's Tozinameran vaccine. United States Forces Korea begins a vaccination programme against COVID-19 using the Moderna vaccine. Healthcare providers and first responders are among those who will initially receive the vaccine. The Czech Republic begins a vaccination campaign against COVID-19 using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine tozinameran, with Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and World War II veteran Emilie Řepíková among the first people to get vaccinated. Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge says that vaccinations using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will begin on January 8 if the European Medicines Agency approves it for use next week. The United Kingdom's National Health Service begins a mass vaccination campaign against COVID-19 using the BNT162b2 vaccine developed by BioNTech and Pfizer. Seniors over the age of 80 and certain healthcare workers will be among the first to receive the vaccine. Gunmen kill two police officers escorting a polio vaccination team in Lower Dir District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Amid the imposed curfew, the Samoan government asks unvaccinated families to display a red flag or red cloth in front of their homes to warn others and to aid mass vaccination efforts as the death toll hits 60 and confirmed cases surpass 4,000. The United Nations blames anti-vaccination messages for the current outbreak of measles in the Pacific island nation, where the death toll has risen to 39 and is expected to rise as 200 are reported hospitalised, according to the World Health Organization. Total cases now soar to near 3,000. The death toll from the measles outbreak in Samoa has reached 32 with over 2,400 cases recorded. A bomb attack on a polio vaccination team in a village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province kills at least ten people.

Human evolution has created enhancements in key genes connected to the p53 regulatory network — the so-called guardian of the genome — by creating additional safeguards in human genes to boost the network's ability to guard against DNA damage that could cause cancer or a variety of genetic diseases, an international team of scientists led by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center discovered. "The fact that DNA metabolism and repair genes have undergone this kind of evolution in humans may reflect an increased need for coordinated control of molecular repair activities during DNA replication to allow for the maintenance of genomic integrity during complex differentiation, growth, and aging," said Bruce Aronow, Ph.D., co-director of Computational Medicine at Cincinnati Children's and a study coauthor. Bruce Aronow, Ph.D. is Professor and Co-director, Computational Medicine Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Bruce's research lab is devoted to unraveling both the role and mechanism by which the functional capabilities of the human genome shape human health and our ability to adapt to stressful challenges. His lab is using a wide variety of available structural and functional genomic and biological systems descriptive data to form models of how biological systems assemble, adapt and become impaired in disease. The lab's overall hypothesis is that by interconnecting as much experimental and observational information as possible, they can gain new insights into the mechanisms by which different biological systems can achieve health or healthy adaptation, or undergo disease processes. More specifically, his lab is identifying genetic features that control gene expression including cis-elements, trans factors and microRNAs, which normally work together in extended cell, tissue, organ and systems networks to enable development and homeostasis. Alterations of these features can alter phenotypes and increase or decrease disease. Some of the lab's work includes the identification of conserved, diverged and evolved cis-element clusters that are acted on by transcription and chromatin proteins. The lab has developed a web-based tool called GenomeTraFaC that at present allows discovery of shared cis-elements in conserved non-coding sequences of mice and humans. GenomeTraFaC identifies the cis-elements in phylogenetic footprints, or non-coding DNA regions of six or more base pairs having almost 100 percent similarity and conserved across several species separated by several million years of evolution. Extending the scope of GenomeTraFaC, the lab has developed CisMols, a tool that identifies compositionally similar cis-regulatory element clusters that occur in groups of co-regulated genes. These computationally predicted cis-clusters could serve as valuable probes for genome-wide identification of regulatory regions. Another area of the lab's research is the integration of SNP information with the protein structure and protein functional domains. The lab is using all available gene-to-disease and gene-to-pathway association data to study the effects of non-synonymous SNPs and other important polymorphisms that occur in functional domains of proteins in specific diseases and biological processes. The lab has developed another web-based tool, PolyDoms, to aid in this effort. Bruce coedited Genomics in Endocrinology: DNA Microarray Analysis in Endocrine Health and Disease, and coauthored Design and implementation of microarray gene expression markup language (MAGE-ML), Mitochondrial death protein Nix is induced in cardiac hypertrophy and triggers apoptotic cardiomyopathy, Clusterin contributes to caspase-3-independent brain injury following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, Divergent transcriptional responses to independent genetic causes of cardiac hypertrophy, Detection and Visualization of Compositionally Similar cis-Regulatory Element Clusters in Orthologous and Coordinately Controlled Genes, and A Genome — Phenome Integrated Approach for Mining Disease-Causal Genes using Semantic Web.

''Advice in Mind'' aims to provide accessible and personalised advice to those affected by mental health issues, Our work is varied, providing people advice on welfare rights issues, income maximisation and support in ensuring they can improve their quality of life. According to research carried out by the University of Glasgow, mental health problems and GP consultations are more than twice as prevalent in deprived areas as in affluent areas and the prevalence of mental health problems is directly proportionate to the number of other problems patients experience. The project operates across Lanarkshire, advice workers placed in Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld and the North Corridor. We also have a peer support worker, offering practical, support beyond advice – accompanying clients to attend Employment Support Allowance medicals or appointments with their local housing office. Mary was referred to the project via the bureau's In-Court Adviser as she was in rent arrears and her Employment and Support Allowance had been ceased. An appointment was arranged for Mary to come into the bureau. Mary attended advising that she has been suffering from both physical and mental health issues. Mary was advised of the appeal process and that we would be sending a mandatory reconsideration on their behalf. Mary was advised they could claim JSA in the interim and a referral to a local food bank was made due to the reduction in income. Mary was also advised to contact Housing Benefit as she had not been claiming this and had built up rent arrears. Advised Mary to tell the Housing Benefit department they were appealing their ESA decision and that JSA would be claimed to ensure Housing Benefit was reinstated and that Mary would not fall into further arrears. Mary contacted us around two weeks later to advise they received a letter stating the decision was unchanged, an appointment was given to complete an SSCS1 (appeal form). At this appointment the form was completed and the Mary was advised of the Tribunal process. A final appointment was given to prepare for the case and to reassure Mary. On the day of the tribunal, we presented our case. Mary was successful and the benefit and placed in the Work Related Activity Group. The award was for a closed period as Mary had managed to find a part time job since there mental health had improved since.

Finding Doris Lehrian Posted on August 25, 2021 August 23, 2021 by Louise Quick by Nina Baker This is the story of how a working class girl from London's East End migrant community turned her talent for maths into a career as an expert in aerodynamics. It is also the story of how I found her story. So… I saw on Twitter that Herstory was planning a STEM theme for August and I offered to do a piece for them. I thought it might be of interest to follow the process of uncovering a story, which I started to research only when Herstory said that they would indeed like a piece, my 'process story' started 21st July 2021. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin…. I have a particular interest in women who were scientific civil servants in aeronautic engineering. Many of these worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), Farnborough, but there was a lot of support science elsewhere such as at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington. My starting point was to look through the 'Aerade' lists of authors of papers for the Aeronautical Research Council (ARC) and pick a woman who seemed to have a lot of publications. Handily, they had done some of the work for me and included a woman called Doris E. Lehrian in their 'Discover' menu. A screenshot of the AERADE search showing Doris E Lehrian So now I had a name but nothing else. First stop, of course, was a Google search, which yielded plenty of hits but all seemed to refer to many papers and reports, which of course sent me back to my starting point – Aerade – from which I could start to assemble a list of her work and download some to get a feel for what she was up to. Next stop was Google Scholar and WorldCat.org to check if she had also written papers that were not for the ARC but in journals etc. From those sources, eliminating a lot of overlaps and duplicates published on different dates, I ended up with some 26 publications, spanning the years 1948-73. I will come back to the topics of her work later. I still did not know anything about Doris the person. So, based on the useful information from the 1948 paper, I knew that by that year she had a BSc and was working at the Aerodynamics Division of the NPL. At this point I had to start guessing a bit: that this was her first paper as a relatively new graduate, which would suggest that perhaps she graduated in 1947 at the age of about 21 and therefore was born around 1926. These turned out to be not quite right but good enough to make a start on her genealogy in Ancestry. I do a family tree for any woman I am researching from scratch. Sometimes it produces wonderful information but other times the search peters out to nearly nothing. The Ancestry process requires some guesswork to make a start, e.g. as to probable dates, and (if you do not know a spouse or parent's name) that their father had the same name as theirs. Sometimes these are wrong of course, and cross-referencing different sources of information until you are sure that you have found the right person, can lead to the right information. So I started by assuming she was born in 1926 but it was actually 1923. A screenshot of Lehrian's family tree, on Ancestry.com From Ancestry I was able to establish that Doris Emily Lehrian was born in Poplar in London's East End in 1923, where her father, George Lehrian, was a woodworker. His father, Doris's grandfather, had come to the UK from Darmstadt in Germany, so we can surmise that the family were working class second generation immigrants. Doris seems to have been an only child but her father's sisters never married and lived with them at various times. Doris herself also never married and died in 2010. The many sources available via Ancestry include birth, marriage, death (sometimes also burial and probate records), the 1939 ID card register for England, electoral rolls, BT telephone books and census records up to 1911 (the 1921 census should be released soon). Most of her life Doris lived either with her family or with colleagues, in and around London. After her mother had died and after Doris retired she moved to Dorset for the rest of her life. The next stage was to try to fill in her education. For this, particularly when the person has a less usual surname, I generally turn to the British Newspapers Archive (BNA). Like Ancestry, this requires a paid subscription but as I use both so much it has been more than worthwhile for me to pay for these resources. Using the BNA can be an iterative process, requiring some creative thinking as to search terms, dates, locations etc. However, in Doris' case, her unusual surname was very helpful and I quickly found three articles mentioning her progress at school. She was fortunate to attend an unusually excellent girls' school for its time – the Coborn School – which was supported by the Coopers' livery company, and even had good science teaching – in itself unusual for that period. A Google search on Coborn School produced a short account by another girl of the evacuation of the school. The East London Observer, November 1942, relayed the usual annual report on pupils' successes at the evacuated Coborn School, now in Taunton. This included the news that "Doris Lehrian was awarded the Hatton prize for Mathematics at Queen Mary College," so now I knew where she had gone next. This was all still on 21st July, the day I started researching her, but this is the point at which I had to reach out for help. I emailed Coborn School – which is fortunately still thriving – and a week later their delightfully helpful archivist sent me a scan of Doris's school career from form IIIa (1934-5) to Upper VI (1940-41), although it is not clear if she joined the school before 1934. She was generally at or near the top of her year and became a prefect in 1939. Against her final results the head teacher noted that she should do well at university and that she had been awarded a "Gibson exhibition" (a scholarship). The next enquiry went to the archives at Queen Mary University (as the college became) and again about a week for that to come back – which isn't bad considering both the school and the university archivists were in their summer break and still not back to normal working after the Covid shut downs. The college produced her record card which included the only picture of Doris that I have so far found, and which is reproduced here with their kind agreement. A photo of Lehrian found from a record card, found in the Queen Mary University archives So, from 28 July I knew that Doris had attended Queen Margaret College (QMC) from 1941-43, did not attend in 1943-46 for reasons not given on the card, resumed in 1946-7 and graduated in 1947 with a BSc Special Honours Maths. She had had money to help with her costs from the London County Council Senior Exhibition, the Stepney & Bow Education Foundation and the Further Education Teaching Scholarship. In her second year she was awarded the Hatton mathematics prize. Her interests at the college included tennis and music – she was a 'prominent member' of the Music Society. The QMC was the obvious place for her to go as it was specifically set up to benefit the poor but bright children of the East End: "1934: East London College becomes Queen Mary College, named after Mary of Teck, wife of King George V. Sir Lynden Macassey, writes in the Times that Queen Mary, 'stands in striking refutation of all the early critics, who thought that university education was an unnecessary luxury for east London…Drawn as the students are from classes which have their own way to make in the world, they achieve exceptional results in their degree examinations'." Again, her education was affected by the war as QMC women were evacuated to Cambridge. This may perhaps explain why she was not at college from 1943-46 – perhaps it was a problem for her family to have her not living at home. Or perhaps she decided to do war work. This is a gap in the story that we may never fill. To return to the work that Doris went on to do in aerodynamics at the NPL: it was highly mathematical, which is no surprise given her degree in the subject. However, she got quite a low class of degree but clearly had considerable latent talent as her career shows. Initially she worked and published with V. M. Falkner on the pressures on swept-back wings. But from 1949 onwards she was often the sole author on reports on oscillation and flutter of wings, the effects of vortices on the behaviour of aircraft control surfaces (flaps, ailerons etc), with her work becoming increasingly theoretical. Diagrams and calculations from her 1967 report "Comparative Numerical Applications of theReverse-flow Theorem to Oscillating Wings and Control Surfaces" These are very tough topics intellectually, but vital for the safety of all kinds of aircraft. You may recall that the Concorde airliner had 'swept wings', and many military planes have delta wings. Having worked at NPL, Teddington for about 25 years, no more is heard of her work after 1973. I asked someone who themselves had worked in this field, but at RAE Farnborough, and they thought that a possible reason might have been: "About that time the NPL Aerodynamics Division was merged into Aerodynamics Dept, RAE, and many of the staff moved to join RAE at Bedford or Farnborough. I suspect that Doris chose not to transfer and remained in Teddington living with her mother. For a while, the remnants of NPL Aero became 'RAE Teddington' but this was soon closed down." Indeed Doris did continue to live with her mother Emiy, (her father died in 1962), in one of the modest terraced houses in Teddington Park Road, until her mother died in 1987, just short of her 100th birthday. The next record for Doris (Ancestry again) put her living in Sherborne, Dorset from 2003 onwards and finally she died in 2010. There are lots of gaps in what we now know about Doris' life and work, and although I put feelers out in various engineering and genealogical directions, it is probably unlikely that the gaps will be plugged unless someone reads this blog and knows another piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Dr Nina Baker has had a varied career, having become a Merchant Navy deck officer on leaving school and later taken an engineering design degree in her 30s, from the University of Warwick. She then gained a PhD in concrete durability from the University of Liverpool. She has lived with her family in Glasgow since 1989, working variously as a materials lecturer in further education and as a research administrator and, until 2017, as an elected city councillor. Now retired from all that, her interest in promoting STEM careers for girls has led her to become an independent scholar, specialising in the history of women in engineering.

Media Statements | 4 May 2020 Locals invited to provide feedback on Forrestfield-Airport Link's terminus station name Option to vote for either Forrestfield or High Wycombe as permanent name Online survey open to City of Kalamunda residents and businesses until May 31 The terminus station for METRONET's Forrestfield-Airport Link is under construction using the working title 'Forrestfield Station'. City of Kalamunda residents and business operators are now able to vote for either Forrestfield Station or High Wycombe Station as the permanent name for the station when it opens in late 2021. A similar community survey in late 2017 led to the first of three new stations on the line having its name changed from the working title Belmont Station to the official Redcliffe Station. Voting is now open and will run until May 31. Eligibility to vote will be based on your postcode and respondents can enter only once. Located within High Wycombe and immediately adjacent to the suburb of Forrestfield, the station will service those in the wider foothills area, providing a 20-minute rail link to the Perth CBD via Perth Airport. The station's construction continues to progress well with installation of its distinctive red roof sheeting completed recently and station fitout under way. The $1.86 billion Forrestfield-Airport Link is due to open in late 2021. The naming survey can be accessed via the My Say Transport Portal. Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti: "There has been strong community interest in this station's name and we've chosen to open up this survey to capture feedback from the people who will use the station when it's complete. "It's important for the local community to have their say about this new station and I encourage all City of Kalamunda residents and businesses to get online and tell us what they think." Comments attributed to Forrestfield MLA Stephen Price: "My community is looking forward to the opening of the Forrestfield-Airport Link in late 2021. "I have always said that the Public Transport Authority would consult local residents in naming the station and now is that time. "I welcome the opportunity for City of Kalamunda residents and business owners to have their say."

So often on pastoral visits to parishes or schools when I ask a young child his or her name, I get an immediate and clear response. Sometimes the young person will give both first and last names. It is important to know who we are. Part of our identity, in addition to our family name, is our faith commitment. We identify ourselves as Catholics. In doing so, we profess our faith in "one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church." These words found in the Nicene Creed and used at Sunday Mass refer to what are traditionally known as the "marks" of the Church, traits that characterize the true Church.

What's the problem airport rail would solve? There needs to be a clear and focused justification for spending billions of dollars on building a rail line from the CBD to Melbourne Airport Trips generated by Melbourne Airport air travellers are concentrated in the CBD and inner suburbs The Committee for Melbourne held a seminar last week on the perennial idea of building a mass transit link between Melbourne Airport and the CBD. I was a panellist in the first session, which considered the question: What is the problem we are trying to solve? That's an excellent way to think about the topic. I've previously argued we must look at access to the airport from all parts of Melbourne and Victoria, but I've no problem with focussing on a link to the CBD as it's bound to be a primary component of any solution. After all, we know from previous studies that airport trips are heavily concentrated on the city centre and inner areas. If a private investor wants to pay the full cost to build and operate a mass transit link, then I think the question answers itself. But there's no sign that's going to happen. The privately financed Sydney and Brisbane rail lines both struggled in their early years so it's likely government will be called on to pay, in one way or another, the full cost of the link. For the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to assume the solution is a heavy rail line. There are various route possibilities, although the leading contender must be the at-grade alignment via East Albion that was reserved some years ago. The likely cost, assuming an elevated station at the airport (like Brisbane's), is circa $3 Billion. The Andrews Government favours connecting it with Melbourne Metro rather than terminating in the CBD at Southern Cross station. That scale of expenditure demands a focused and precise understanding of why we should build it. There's the inevitable danger the rationale gets clouded by populist appeals to non-central concerns. In my view, the immediate "problem" to be solved is to move travellers from the airport to the city centre. At present, that's mostly done by taxis, private vehicles and SkyBus. A rail line could be justified if one or more of the following conditions apply: There is inadequate capacity to move passengers between the airport and the city centre The travel time is unacceptably long The travel time is excessively unpredictable or unreliable. Of these, capacity is the key justification. That's because SkyBus could be engineered to provide fast and reliable trips, at lower cost than building a rail line, if it were given dedicated road space as recommended by Infrastructure Victoria. But while SkyBus could increase frequencies and the size of vehicles in order to carry more passengers, there's a limit to this technology. There'll inevitably come a time on the Airport's current bullish passenger projections when buses will no longer cut it on such a busy route. Infrastructure Victoria thinks a train won't be required for at least 15 years. Perhaps, but demand changes so it might be sooner, or it might be later. It's therefore pleasing the Commonwealth and Victorian governments are starting to plan for the possibility of a link. There's no shortage of other arguments thrown into the public arena to justify building a rail link. The main ones I hear most are: It would reduce traffic congestion on the motorway network It would moderate airport parking charges It would be city-shaping infrastructure e.g. it would promote development of a more polycentric urban form. I think these are secondary considerations that are in any event doubtful rationales for such an important investment. The phenomenon of latent demand means a rail line won't produce a sustained reduction in traffic congestion any more than building or widening a motorway will. Any road space liberated by motorists who divert to the train will eventually be taken by other motorists, most of whom aren't going to the airport. The value of an airport train lies in providing a better alternative to driving, not in making travel by car easier. The way to deal with traffic congestion is to reduce demand for driving in the first place e.g. by road pricing. Nor will a train have much impact on parking fees at the airport. The mode share of the train in Brisbane is just 7% and in Sydney it's 17%; that still leaves a lot of travellers looking for a car park. High parking fees are mostly the result of monopoly pricing practices and should be addressed by regulation. Indeed, charges would increase significantly if airport parking were used as an indirect way to price road use. The claimed city-shaping benefit of rail lines is uncertain. Transport systems have a generalised impact on land use at the metro level, but it's much less assured at the level of specific lines or locations. There are a lot of stations in Melbourne that even after more than 100 years have virtually no development around them. Research shows transit doesn't necessarily lead to the increases in land value, or the greater development, implied by grandiose "city-shaping" claims. In any event, the two planned intermediate stops on the Albion route, Footscray and Sunshine, are already on rail junctions. Yet Footscray is only the eleventh largest activity centre in the suburbs and Sunshine the twenty sixth. Together, they account for circa 0.6% of all jobs in Melbourne. It's worth thinking about how many firms would choose to locate in these centres, and thereby forego the agglomeration benefits of the massively larger city centre, just to gain a few minutes in airport travel time. If the route took in large potential redevelopment sites at the former munitions site at Footscray and/or Essendon Airport, this would be a stronger argument, but by no means an assured one. There would be constraints on the number of dwellings that could be built on these sites and, in the case of Essendon, an alternative location – inevitably with lower aviation benefits – would need to be found for its airport function. The longer route and/or tunnelling required if the line is to do "double duty" would add to the capital cost and/or increase total trip time. Both of these factors could weaken the Benefit-Cost ratio. Any increase in travel time due, say, to a longer route or more stops, makes the train less competitive relative to other modes and may weaken patronage. This is especially problematic as time saving is by far the dominant benefit in transport projects. These sorts of issues, plus financing options like value-capture, have a place in assessing the case for airport rail but they're secondary; they're not the key reason why a rail line should be built. The benefits and costs associated with them are relevant but should be considered in subsequent phases when choices are made about options e.g. one route vs another. The decision on if and when some form of mass transit link should be built (almost certainly rail), should turn on fundamental transport criteria like capacity, trip time, and trip predictability.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A pair of possibly stolen Banksy murals didn't let a South Florida auction house cash in as both were pulled from an auction at the last minute on Saturday. Banksy is a internationally known graffiti artist whose identity remains anonymous. His graffiti though, is no secret to the public. Banksy's artworks can be viewed from places around the world and are recognized as public treasures. One of Banksy's works called "Slave Labour" shows a young boy kneeling in front of an antique sewing machine making Union Jack Bunting for Queen Elizabeth to decorate her Diamond Jubilee. The painting appeared on the wall of a bargain store in the North London borough of Haringey last May. Both rediscovered murals have an estimated selling price of $700,000. Art lovers of South Florida gathered at the auction and hoped to see the paintings.

Estrada pitches Blue Jays past Yanks for 5th win in 6 games Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada throws against the New York Yankees during the first inning of a baseball game in Toronto on Monday, May 30, 2016. (Fred Thornhill/The Canadian Press via AP) MANDATORY CREDIT By IAN HARRISON Associated Press TORONTO (AP) — With eight scoreless innings, Marco Estrada gave the Toronto Blue Jays exactly what they needed: a night off for a bunch of tired bullpen arms. Estrada (3-2) won consecutive starts for the first time this season, Ryan Goins homered and Toronto beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night for its fifth win in six games. Estrada allowed three hits, two of them singles, and struck out six. He beat the Yankees in New York last week. "Estrada had it working today," Yankees catcher Brian McCann said. "He keeps you in between speeds. He's got something figured out. He keeps you guessing." Toronto's bullpen was worn down following Sunday's 11-inning loss to Boston. Four Toronto relievers, including closer Roberto Osuna, were unavailable against New York. "Everything felt pretty good today," Estrada said. "I'm glad I was able to give them eight innings and rest the bullpen a little bit." No one was more appreciative than Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "Really, it was the exact outing we had to have," Gibbons said. After Aaron Loup gave up a two-run home run to McCann in the ninth, Drew Storen came on and got the final two outs for his third save. Goins went 2 for 2 and scored twice. It was his first multihit game since April 13, also against the Yankees. "He seemed relaxed and confident," Gibbons said. "Ryan has been struggling for a while but he's a better hitter than that." Edwin Encarnacion had two RBIs, and the Blue Jays won for the 11th time in 15 meetings with New York. The Yankees have lost four of six since evening their record at 22-22 last week. Their slumping offense has produced four runs and six hits in the past two games. "We've got to start swinging a little bit better," manager Joe Girardi said. "When you have two-thirds of your lineup not swinging the bat well, it's difficult to score runs. We've got to turn that around." Encarnacion hit an RBI double off Ivan Nova in the first and added an RBI groundout in the third. Michael Saunders followed with an RBI double. Goins hit a leadoff homer in the fifth, his third. Starlin Castro walked to begin the eighth and went to third on a two-out double by Aaron Hicks, but Estrada got Jacoby Ellsbury to pop out to end the inning. Nova (3-3) allowed a season-high four runs and eight hits in six-plus innings, losing to Toronto for the second straight start. "My sinker was kind of off a little bit," Nova said. "I couldn't get it down the way it's supposed to." RELIEF FOR RELIEVER Toronto recalled RHP Ryan Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo and designated INF/OF Jimmy Paredes for assignment. Estrada is the first Blue Jays pitcher to beat the Yankees twice in a five-day span since Dave Stieb did it in 1982. New York LHP Richard Bleier made his major league debut in the eighth, getting Saunders and Justin Smoak to ground out. TRAINER'S ROOM Yankees: INF Dustin Ackley has a torn labrum in his right shoulder and may need surgery, Girardi said. New York placed Ackley on the 15-day DL and recalled INF Rob Refsnyder from Triple-A. ... The Yankees reinstated RHP Luis Severino from the 15-day DL and optioned him to Triple-A. ... DH Alex Rodriguez got the day off. Blue Jays: 2B Devon Travis got the day off. Travis had played five straight since being activated off the DL last week. Yankees: LHP CC Sabathia (3-3, 2.83) is 7-2 with a 3.21 ERA in 10 career starts at Toronto. Blue Jays: LHP J.A. Happ (6-2, 3.20) is 5-2 with a 4.15 ERA in 11 career starts against the Yankees.

Every outcome and progression within the FourCoach curriculum comes from an educated and experienced tennis perspective, however it does not purport to be the only possible linear progression for a tennis player to adhere to. We believe in the curriculum we've collaboratively created, however we respect the many varied opinions of best practice that exist within the global tennis community. How can this curriculum help you? 1. Do you and your fellow coaches have a lesson plan for each lesson? 2. Are you able to have individual goals and markers when coaching a group lesson? 3. Do your lessons have the same structure, every time? 4. Do you give your students and parents feedback regularly? 5. If a new coach started tomorrow, would they know what each student could and couldn't do? 6. Is the life of a student at your centre less than two years? 7. Do students reach a point where they need a 'better' coach to help them continue to develop? 8. Do you consider the standard of the competitions you run to be strong? 9. Do many of your students play and have success in local, state and national tournaments? 10. Do you forecast generational loyalty to your tennis centre? The FourCoach team traveled around the state and the country for close to two years, observing various coaches and their programs. Alarmingly, almost all of the coaches observed did not engage in any formative (ongoing observational) or summative (end of term/month/year) assessments for their students. Additionally, these same coaches observed ran almost identical lesson structures for group and private coaching apart. While a very large proportion of coaches and centres had high levels of enthusiasm and passion for the game, and while many had formal coaching qualifications, many were experiencing student turnover of less than 18 months. Also of note was that a small percentage of coaches were holding onto (and developing) elite players almost exclusively, and the large majority of coaches had students experiencing little success or even exposure to wider and higher levels of competition. For many, the greatest levels of player engagement were seen during informal games played within coaching lessons and while these were fun and developmental, they weren't doing a great deal to individualise tuition or get players to the higher stages of performance. Only a very small handful of coaches nation-wide actually started a lesson with a series of individual goals and targets for players along with the drills, activities and games that would help them achieve. Most coaches see group lessons as a way for students to develop a love for the game through social interactions and games. They are a highly engaging, yet affordable and manageable way for new players to try the game out and to learn the basics. None of this ever needs to change, however it was the viewpoint of many coaches interviewed that time constraints and class management were the biggest hurdles to having individual learning needs met during group lessons. The most effective group lesson structures observed were those where grouping was flexible and timetabled to be convenient. Groups were loosely organised with age in mind but the more defining features of group composition were development focus, skill level, experience and cans/can'ts. For most coaches, the long-held paradigm is that students should turn up to every lesson and receive exposure to all of the general shots in the game until the lesson is over. Coaches learn to understand the little aspects of each shot that players need to work on, eg 'Sally needs to turn her shoulders more in preparation for her backhand', and 'Zhang needs to shorten his backswing on his forehand volley'. These mental observations generally stay at the forefront of that particular coach's mind. But there is a growing need to see each player as an individual who favours various aspects of his/her game and needs further development on other aspects. Remaining rigid to a set format where all shots have the same amount of time and focus can result in a growing disparity between stronger and weaker shots as well as possible disengagement. Not all students and parents are the same. Some students and parents will enrol in tennis programs just in the name of a bit of fun. Some parents just want a bit of time to sit and unwind. But for many parents, there is a definite need to see tangible results or some measure of progress in return for dollars spent. Most people are relatively understanding of the fact that player development happens at different speeds, but as a way of promoting loyalty and longer engagement in programs, getting into a habit of communicating what players have achieved and what they're working towards achieving next is incredibly beneficial for business. Almost all coaches interviewed and observed were able to articulate areas of strength and weakness in the players they trained. Going one step further and having a quick and straight-forward way to keep track of player development would result in better communication among coaches and a better understanding of areas of improvement for the whole tennis centre. Students can come and go and there aren't many recognisable indicators as to how long they'll stay with you, their coach. For some, tennis is taken up with the expectation to become masters very quickly. When that goal isn't realised for whatever reason, players often leave the game and take up another sport or hobby. For others, tennis is tied to happiness. As a student engaged in lessons that are fun, they'll do well. But many burn-out stories will show that when a player starts to have success, motivation to play is then tied to whether or not they're winning. For a player with glaring holes in their game, or for someone who had some quick successes without following a natural progression, it will be easy to meet many physical and mental barriers. As a coach but also a business owner, it is important to help every player reach their goals and their potential but also to ensure that players continue to come back to your centre, whether it be for coaching or to play in your competitions and tournaments. Adhering to a straight-forward curriculum that ensures that players don't develop while some skills remain stagnant can be engaging and ensure players stay in the game for longer. If you spend a great deal of time progressing a player from beginner level through to playing in competitions with barrier weaknesses, it's natural that they may feel they need to look elsewhere to address those inconsistencies with another coach. That is not good for business and that is not good for players. The FourCoach curriculum is staged in such a way that players should achieve particular levels of competency and mastery before moving into competitions and tournaments. Each stage needs all aspects to be achieved before progressing and this ensures that certain shots, tactics, mental processes and movements aren't overlooked or abandoned along the way. A great way to keep students engaged at your centre is by running regular competitions that are challenging but also have attainable achievements. Having one-dimensional competitions with tired formats or competitions with a very wide variance of player ability is a quick way to see players dropping out. The better players won't feel challenged and the players with lots of weaknesses won't be improving from getting wiped off the court. Having several different tiers and flexible format competitions is the best way to continue to develop your players as well as seeing them remain loyal and playing at your centre. At nearly all of the centres we visited, coaches would be able to list a very small handful of players who were competing at high levels with success. The large majority of players at their centres were fumbling their way through local competitions and turning up to coaching to 'go through the motions'. The FourCoach curriculum is staged in such a way that a player must demonstrate certain competencies as well as a tangible win/loss ratio to be encouraged into the more challenging competitions and tournaments. Generational loyalty to a centre is the ultimate goal for a business owner. Seeing a student go from being a beginner through to being a complete player and then either referring a friend, family member or even offspring is incredibly rewarding. Having attainable goals, an easy to understand progressive curriculum, individual lesson focuses, communication with players and families and good levels of communication among different coaches at the same centre will all contribute to positive word of mouth and repeat business.
