Last week on Phoronix there was the first Linux review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti that also included results from other GeForce GTX 700 GPUs -- including the TITAN -- and earlier Kepler and Fermi GPUs while on the AMD side was a range of Radeon graphics card up to and including the AMD Radeon R9 290. For today's Linux review to kick off a new week of benchmarking is a closer look at the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN when running Ubuntu Linux and comparing the OpenGL performance to Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro x64.
The GeForce GTX TITAN launched this past February as the first GeForce 700 series graphics card powered by the GK110 GPU that went on to power the GTX 780 series. Nine months after the launch, the GTX TITAN is still commanding a $999 USD price-tag, but that will get you a graphics card with 6GB of GDDR5 video memory on a 384-bit bus, the GK110 core is running at 837MHz with a 876MHz Boost frequency, and there's 2688 CUDA Cores. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN boasts approximately 4800 GFLOPS of single-precision power and 1500 GFLOPS of double precision compute power; the double-precision performance is much greater than any of the other GeForce 700 series graphics processors.
While the GeForce GTX TITAN has been around for several months now, only earlier this month did I finally receive a review sample out of NVIDIA. It's great to see NVIDIA's marketing department finally taking more interest in Linux; thanks! The GeForce GTX TITAN will also be found in some of Valve's forthcoming Steam Machines prototypes.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti's cooler is based on the same cooler that premiered with the GTX TITAN: it works very well and looks fantastic if you're running an open-air or windowed system. The display connections on the GeForce GTX TITAN include two dual-link DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort outputs. An 8-pin and 6-pin PCI Express power connectors are required for feeding enough power to the ultra high-end GPU.
For Linux gamers last week's review of the GeForce GTX 780 Ti showed the performance of that GK110 graphics card to be superior while being priced at just ~$699 USD. The GeForce GTX TITAN's $999 price hasn't been reduced since the TITAN still has its own advantages even with the GTX 780 Ti and the AMD Radeon R9 290X also being a fierce competitor on Windows. The GeForce GTX TITAN's benefits include greater double-precision performance and 6GB of GDDR5 video memory over 3GB on the GTX 780 Ti.


With this article, we will show you how we are using Apache Sentry at Adaltas. For this demonstration, we have pulled one use case that we have been faced on at one of our customer : Pages Jaunes. For the sake of privacy, data displayed in this article is faked.
Pages Jaunes is the biggest french web-announcer, and sells its audience to its customer. In order to convince potential client, commercials has to present potential outcomes for this customer to join Pages Jaunes website. To this extent, data scientist in Pages Jaunes has to predict at best the plausible audience of this customer. So we had to integrate the market team in the data lake already set up.
Let's call these data scientists marketing_analysts. Our objective is to give read access for marketing_analysts to the database 'dw_audience' and to give full access to a 'sandbox database' that we are going to call dw_marketing_analysts.
The first thing you have to do is to create appropriate Unix group and Unix users on all hosts of your cluster.
If your cluster is connected to a LDAP, just add new entries in your LDAP. If not, rather than create user one by one on each host, you can deploy it thanks to Ryba.
Create the group and the users in Hue. This part is pretty straight-forward thanks to the Hue web UI.
You have to specify Hive privileges and HDFS privileges.
Here we have set up privileges for nominative users, you can apply the exact same process for applicative users.

Frost & Sullivan Lauds Reagena for Enhancing Customer Value in the Hantavirus POC Diagnostics Market with its Commitment to Quality and Consistency
ReaScan emerges the best POC test in areas that do not have easy access to healthcare facilities
LONDON, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the hantavirus point-of-care (POC) diagnostics market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Reagena Oy Ltd. with the 2015 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Leadership. Reagena's impressive year-on-year growth rate of 25 percent in 2014 was the result of its single-minded focus on niche areas such as hantavirus. Its dedication to providing outstanding customer value through consistent quality and efficiency sets it apart from its competitors.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150409/197582LOGO
In response to the prevalence of hantavirus cases in the rural areas of Western Europe, Reagena introduced the ReaScan POC test. This lateral flow membrane-based technology is ideal in areas with poor access to quality healthcare, as the tests are rapid and do not require advanced medical technology or skilled technicians. Normally, it delivers readings in 15 minutes, but in cases of high infection levels, the reading time can be lower.
"The ReaScan test is a semi-quantitative test that comes with a pocket reader that converts the results into a numerical value to help diagnose the intensity of infection," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Srinivas Sashidhar. "Significantly, ReaScan tests can help detect borderline cases, as the results are converted to a numerical value that can be compared with the stated threshold values. Furthermore, it is a visual test that uses a very small sample of serum, plasma, or even fingertip blood, unlike competing products."
To ensure consistent reliability and efficiency, Reagena participates in external quality-assessment programs that help improve the quality of diagnoses in laboratories. These efforts have evidently paid off, as customers rate Reagena highly in terms of brand value.
Reagena has proven extremely popular in Finland, where its manufacturing site is located. Finland has high incidence of hantavirus infections and is an important market for Reagena; the growth in this country is well supported by high sales in the other Nordic countries as well. The company has distribution networks in 30 countries, including Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia, Norway and Sweden.
In addition to retaining 100 percent of its existing large company clients, Reagena acquired 12 new customers in 2014. It offers additional value to customers by educating them on the effects of hantavirus and the need to test for infections.
"Reagena's product quality is one of the highest and most consistent in the market," noted Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Srinivas Sashidhar. "All its products are compliant with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 standards, and have been granted the in vitro diagnostics CE mark."
The high motivation of Reagena's staff is reflected in the company's commitment to quality and consistency, which, in turn, has helped it pull ahead of its peers.
"The key to the long-term success of any company is its ability to continuously nurture and enhance the value of its products and/or services to its customers. As such, Frost & Sullivan is excited to recognize Reagena for its industry leading focus on improving customer experience and customer impact with its ReaScan test for hantavirus detection," said Frost & Sullivan Global President & Managing Partner, Krishna Srinivasan.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment that customers make in its services or products. The award recognises the company's inordinate focus on enhancing the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and ultimately customer base expansion.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Britain and the problem of living in the past
As Jubilee celebrations die down in the short period of calm before the Olympics, questions arise about what all this means, what Britain and Britishness is, and what the future might be for both.
This piece is part of our debate 'The Great British Summer?'.
The familiar account states that Britain does pageantry well, putting on a show, the big occasion, seamlessly combining old and new, tradition and modernisation. But is this an adequate explanation?
The British like anyone enjoy a party and having a good time but what we seem to have been celebrating these last few days is a culture and psyche which is fixated on living in the past.
Rather worryingly, the story of Britain's past being told is increasingly selective and shaped by a collective amnesia about our history, triumphs and tribulations.
British history now seems to have been reduced to a few moments and moods: Churchill, Dunkirk, the summer of 1940, 'we stood alone', D-Day, and the legacy of Empire transforming into Commonwealth, as we remain reluctant, unconvinced Europeans.
The legacy of Empire is pivotal and now subject to systematic revision. This can be seen in Niall Ferguson's neo-con revisionism of 'Empire' proclaiming it the expression of muscular liberalism, and in a lesser scale, in Gordon Brown talking of Empire as 'a force for good'.
There is something profoundly liberating as well as conservative about living in the past; it can be constantly reimagined and recreated to suit the needs of the here and now. This begs the question what and whose Britain is being served by this constant invoking of the past, and turning our face away from any thoughts of the future.
There are obvious points about tourism, heritage trail Britain, films and cultural artifacts about the past, but something deeper is going on. Britain once explicitly believed in and embraced the future. Take the 1940s after the Second World War. All that talk of 'New Jerusalem', the welfare state and NHS was sold to voters by Labour with a manifesto entitled 'Let Us Face the Future' and a campaign slogan, 'And Now Let's Win the Peace'.
In the 1960s there was a sense of optimism and confidence in the air, that education was opening up previously closed opportunities to working class children, that the old high-bound attitudes of authority were breaking down, aided by a wave of social reforms and cultural upheaval.
Today even long before the recession this sense of the possible future has long since left the British collective imagination. There are many obvious culprits in this: the divisions and debris of 1970s Britain, Thatcherism and the false hopes of Blairism.
Yet all of the above are a symptom of a wider transformation: the failure of our political classes and establishment to embrace a modernisation of Britain which is progressive and enlightened. This was the motivating spirit of people in the 1940s and 1960s, when they believed that the future would turn out to be a world which was better and fairer.
This climate has left Britain in a place where it has few island stories holding it together. The great post-war hopes have gone, and along with it a collective sense in progress which had numerous different versions: Conservative, Labour, the example of the Open University. It isn't surprising that people want to invoke and celebrate the Queen as a symbol and person for at least her lineage provides some common thread over these last 60 years.
Britain has become a land of myths and folklore in which there is a paucity of plausible stories. All the best myths and symbols point to the past, to famous battles, moments or often invented traditions, and there is little confidence or appetite for looking at and embracing the future.
All of this has happened when one of the most powerful forces of 'Brand Britain', popular culture, is just as resolutely imprisoned in the past. Take British popular music which has since the 1960s voiced a very different set of reference points around the world celebrating diversity, creativity and authenticity. It is now in a stale, predictable state, reminiscing about its 'golden days' long gone.
Once the union jacks are taken out of the supermarkets and shop windows and the Olympic juggernaut has passed where is Britain going? Can we permanently inhabit a 'Back to the Future' mindset – what writer Patrick Wright called the increasing British sensibility of 'living in an old country' where the dead and the past in some near ghoulish way are with us and getting noisier by the day?
For those who saw the Jubilee events as evidence of a new 1,000 years of British history and the dishing of those humourless Nats, they are going to be disappointed.
We have to evolve beyond the simplistic unionist mantras such as stating that you can't be Scottish and British in an independent Scotland; says who and why? All of those who endlessly bash 'nationalism' as a negative force (Johann Lamont, Douglas Alexander et al) should realise that unionism is a form of nationalism, British nationalism, and that they are nationalists.
Instead we should explore more subtle themes. Is the evolution of a post-British set of identities inevitable eventually? Or can we sit more easily with a humble British cultural identity shorn of Empire and imperial hubris? We cannot permanently live in a fantasy play park of a make believe past, telling ourselves we are proud to be British while not being sure what that means.
The Britain of the last few days represents the failure of any real meaningful modernisation, and its repackaging around a glossy package to hide the profound retreat and limitation this means for the future. The British nationalism of the union is one which increasingly harks back to the past.
Any country needs shared events, even national holidays and the human need for connection and some kind of communion. Yet what is being presented is a kind of David Starkey Britain, a version of ourselves which we know is inadequate; it is a modern day fairy tale to delude ourselves that we are okay and everything is going to work out fine.
We cannot in perpetuity live in the past for if we do eventually Britain becomes a museum which American and Chinese tourists pass through. Instead, we have to take a good hard look at ourselves, and the thin official story of multi-cultural, multi-national, diverse Britain something Ed Miliband began to do this week in an important speech which departed from the Brownite script of Britishness.
The United Kingdom is not a modern country and nor is a democracy with only one part of our constitution, the Commons, elected. Our leaders and elites would like to keep it this way as long as possible, but why should the people so quietly and happily acquiesce?

Beware Signs of White Rot in Garlic and Other Allium Crops
Kathleen Painter, James Woodhall, Jennifer Jensen
White rot affects onions, garlic, shallots, and other Allium species.
White rot is highly contagious and destructive, making soil unusable for Allium production for up to twenty years.
White rot is spread by tiny black sclerotia, about the size of a poppy seed, which have a pathogen structure similar to a seed and form on decayed plant tissue.
Cool, moist conditions between 50°F and 75°F are most conducive for the spread of the disease.
No effective remedies for the home garden exist.
No resistant varieties of either garlic or onions are available.
White rot is a very serious disease of garlic and onion (Allium species) due to its highly aggressive nature: it can survive for a lengthy period of time in the soil between crops and spreads easily. The disease is caused by the fungus Stromatinia cepivora (Berk). Its dormant stage is a sclerotium (plural: sclerotia) that allows the disease to survive between plantings of susceptible crops and over the winter. Just one individual sclerotium for every two pounds of soil is enough to initiate acute infection. Its transmission can happen more easily than you might realize: cool, wet conditions favor the disease, so garden tools and shoes that have come into contact with infested soil very effectively spread the pathogen. Once infected, plants may yellow, wither, and die, or their bulbs may rot later in storage.
White rot affects all Allium species including onions, shallots, and garlic, although onions and garlic are the most susceptible. The long-term consequences of the small, black sclerotia are severe, rendering the affected ground unusable for garlic or onion production for up to two decades (Coley-Smith et al. 1990). Currently, no effective chemical or cultural controls exist. Experimental methods that stimulate then starve the disease organisms have proven unsatisfactory, only reducing but not eliminating the disease organism.
Because white rot most commonly spreads through infected plant material, start your defense by purchasing planting stock from Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA)–inspected producers.1 According to Idaho law, gardeners living in the twenty-county quarantine area in Idaho2 are only allowed to buy bulbs, sets, and transplants that have been grown and inspected for planting purposes from inside the same area. True onion seed shouldn't be contaminated. Another strategy includes being more mindful of the movement of soil and water that may be contaminated with this organism.
1A list of current approved producers is available from ISDA Plant Industries by calling (208) 332-8651.
2Counties within the white rot control areas include Ada, Bingham, Blaine, Boise, Bonneville, Canyon, Cassia, Elmore, Gem, Gooding, Jefferson, Jerome, Lincoln, Madison, Minidoka, Owyhee, Payette, Power, Twin Falls, and Washington in Idaho, and Malheur County in Oregon.
Initially, infected plants show yellowing and wilting of the leaves, starting with the older leaves (Figure 1). The plants may also appear stunted. As the roots rot, the diseased plants continue to weaken and become easy to pull out of the ground. You may see white fluffy growth, the fungal mycelium, near the base of the plant.

Figure 2. Sclerotia (black, round, poppy seed-sized dormant structures) and white mycelium produced by the white rot fungus on an infected garlic bulb. Courtesy of University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
It's easy to confuse the initial symptoms of white rot with Fusarium basal rot, another soil-borne garlic disease, but any presence of tiny black sclerotia indicates white rot. University of Idaho Extension offices can usually confirm the presence of the fungal structures with the aid of a microscope.
In the early stages of white rot, sclerotia start to form on decayed tissue (Figure 2). Sclerotia are very small, about the size of a poppy seed. An infected bulb can produce hundreds of sclerotia—meaning that over just a few seasons the soil can become severely infested with this pathogen. Severity of the disease depends on the number of sclerotia in the soil.
Optimum soil temperatures for white rot infection are between 60°F and 65°F, but infection can occur anywhere from 50°F to 75°F. The same soil moisture conditions that favor crop growth are also favorable for infection and spread. If the disease is detected, stopping irrigation will help to reduce its spread. Symptoms usually appear midseason when the weather is cool and wet, typically mid-to-late June.
Managing white rot consists of avoidance and sanitation, since there are no cost-effective strategies for the home gardener. Make sure your onion, shallot, or garlic sets are disease-free prior to planting. If you notice yellow, stunted, and wilting plants throughout the growing season like those displayed in Figure 1, inspect the afflicted plants for white rot as well as other potential diseases, including pink rot and soft rot bacterial infection, or pest infestations like onion maggot. Upon confirming the presence of white rot, pull all affected plants and any neighboring ones, which most likely are also infected. When disposing of diseased plants, carefully contain all soil and plant material so that you don't inadvertently spread sclerotia. For example, bag the diseased plants in black plastic bags and take them to a landfill. At midseason, reinspect your plants for any evidence of white rot's return or the development of small, black sclerotia.
If you again discover white rot in your garden, step up your strategy. Avoid planting any Allium plants, including garlic, onion, and shallots. Sanitize any garden tools you've used—wash them thoroughly with soap and water, removing any clumps of dirt, and then soak them in a 10% bleach (2% sodium hypochlorite) solution for at least two minutes. If possible, avoid planting any root crops. Any future Allium species plantings will need to be located in another area of your garden that is beyond the reach of water or soil movement from the infected area.
White rot is common in many places around the world, including the United Kingdom, where producers routinely test the soil for the presence of white rot before conducting a commercial planting of any Allium crop. We encourage Idaho growers to utilize the same kind of assistance at the University of Idaho diagnostic lab at Parma, which offers a soil testing service for white rot.
Prescreening is a useful stopgap tactic for growers, especially since researchers have yet to develop any white rot–resistant varieties of garlic or onion. While they've tried a number of biological control approaches, the results have been inconsistent. Thus, the most effective control is to avoid planting in disease-infested soil by either carefully inspecting or soil testing for the pathogen.

Getting Married and Divorced on the Blockchain
by Spencer Neale
"Life is not eternal and death can separate us, but the Blockchain is forever." - David Mondrus and Joyce Bayo on their blockchain wedding
Blockchain Marriage is Forever
A blockchain is a permanent, publicly distributed ledger that verifies transactions, records events and is naturally resistant to the modification of data. Every new transaction creates a block that includes a cryptographic hash and timestamp that is part of a growing chain of verified information. There are many different blockchains and each is used and programmed differently. Some technologists estimate that blockchain's disruptive technology could revolutionize supply chain management, automation, big data, healthcare, marriage, and currency; others go so far as to call it the essential technological building block for a fourth industrial revolution.
Whether or not the most optimistic predictions are correct, today the blockchain offers users a clear and simple way to perform contractual verification. A smart contract is a digital agreement between two or more persons that can be accessed by scanning the blockchain at any point in the future. Smart contracts have already found widespread use in trade finance because they can settle transactions without the need of a third party for verification. If the blockchain really is forever, then etching marriage contracts into its fabric is a cheap and innovative way to access the nascent ecosystem of cryptographic technologies.
The first couple to get married on the blockchain was David Mondrus and Joyce Bayo in 2014. With famed Austrian school economist Jeffrey Tucker presiding over the wedding, the couple engraved their nuptials on the Bitcoin blockchain. Speaking to Tucker after the wedding, Mondrus was blunt: "Why should the government have anything to say about who I marry or how?"
Till Death Do Us Part
"If someone loves someone they have a right to marry." - Mildred Loving
The tradition of English common law defines marriage as a private, voluntary agreement between a man and a woman. In the modern age, some nations have amended this law to include same-sex couples. The State, as such, plays an instrumental role in defining the institution of marriage and implementing the legal structure that regulates a union between two partners.
State-issued marriage licenses were rare in the United States until the late 19th century, when marriage became a new cultural battleground. Federal and local governments mobilized to limit or deny civil equality for women, African Americans, and homosexual couples.
In the Jim Crow South courts kept interracial unions at bay by arguing that prohibition of interracial marriage and sex was not a violation of the equal protection clause. At the height of the Civil Rights movement, Richard Loving, a white man, married Mildred Jeter, a black woman. For this, the state of Virginia sentenced them both to a year in prison for violating anti-miscegenation laws that prohibited interracial marriage and sex. In 1967, the Supreme Court overturned the prohibition of interracial marriage throughout the United States.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, writing the unanimous opinion of the court defined marriage as "one of the basic civil rights of man," and "fundamental to our very existence and survival. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."
In 1996, Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act which defined marriage as "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court overturned the restriction of same-sex marriages in the United States by declaring that prohibition violated the equal clause protection. Today, in 87% of countries throughout the world, same-sex marriage is still illegal.
The involvement of governments in the private, voluntary transactions of citizens is everpresent. As individuals challenge the legal and ethical tyrannies of state governance, the question arises: what right does a government inherently possess to regulate the legality of a voluntary contract based on love? Furthermore, what right does a church or religion have to regulate the moral frameworks of what love constitutes in the 21st century?
Virtual Vows
"We don't need any state or church to validate our marriage." – Edurne Lolnaz & Mayal de Borniol
A blockchain marriage can be as flexible as the owners wish. When billionaire Brock Pierce wed his wife Rose on the blockchain last year, they created a contract that could be renewed, changed, or dissolved annually. While the contract does not hold legal weight in the United States, observers see upside in the blockchain's immutable features. As the Creative Director of Smart Vows's Alex Gruz notes, "A marriage certificate is just a paper that can get buried in the clutter in your home. Even worse, it can get lost or tampered with. With a marriage smart contract, that concern is a thing of the past."
In Washoe County, Nevada the Recorder's Office has been working with the blockchain startup Titan Seal to implement marriage certificates on the Ethereum blockchain. Today, when a couple gets married in Nevada, the process can take days of waiting for verification and cost the couple a fee for delivery. By utilizing blockchain technology, officials are promising an instant, cheap, paperless verification model that could be in a couple's email inbox within minutes.
Estonia has been at the forefront of a new borderless standard that allows any human the ability to register as an e-resident of Estonia through an organization called BitNation. BitNation aims to establish a virtual country that is borderless and made permanent by the immutability of blockchain technology. Through BitNation, people can prove their cyber citizenship, found corporations and notarize documents including marriage certificates.
On December 1, 2015, self-described "glomads" Edurne Lolnaz and Mayel de Bornio used BitNation's SmartVows system to establish their virtual marriage certificate within Estonia's e-residency program. In July of this year, Nicole Zhu and Daniel Onggunhao used the decentralized application Forevermore to code a virtual marriage certificate on the Ethereum blockchain. Having married in several different countries along their travels, the couple saw the blockchain as an opportunity to create a permanent, global transaction that could enshrine their vows forever. Only two months later, their marriage has been witnessed by more than 16,000 Ethereum nodes throughout the world.
Marriage isn't the only example of coding love onto the blockchain. In every blockchain transaction there is also an option to include text which has led to a growing number of love letters being etched into the memory of the blockchain. Eternitywall.it is a company that promises to enshrine "messages lasting forever" on the Bitcoin blockchain. In 2015, Eternity Wall notarized over 1,000 documents, including messages of love, faith, memory, and play. You can see a running log of documents printed onto the blockchain by Eternity Wall at their website (https://eternitywall.it/). (A particularly infamous love letter to Instagram model Dayah Dover can be seen on block #448064 of the Bitcoin blockchain).
New Oracles
"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years." - Simone Signoret
In the world of antiquity, an Oracle was a person who provided wisdom and prophetic accounts of the future. In the world of blockchain, new oracles are needed to act as arbiters that can validate or absolve smart contracts based on however their value parameters were set. The need for such an arbiter, also known as the "Oracle Problem," raises the question of just how "smart" are smart contracts? According to programmer Jimmy Song, smart contracts really aren't that smart at all.
Song suggests that the actual smartness of a smart contract does not derive from any real intelligence but from the extreme precision that accompanies a computer network. These contracts are written into a computer ecosystem and then later reviewed and executed based simply off the express conditions of the contract. As such, they take no account of extenuating circumstances or what Song defines as the "spirit" of law. Kate Sills has since argued that Song's critique is misplaced because it assumes that smart contracts must be fully trustless to be valuable when that is not actually the case.
Smart contracts have existed in theory since at least 1995 when cryptographer Nick Szabo published an article titled "smart contracts" for the tech magazine Entropy. But it was only in the past year or so, with the incredible rise of Ethereum, that smart contracts have become a buzzword in the cryptography community. Ethereum, and its founder Vitalik Buterin, took the simple scope of smart contracts and built a Turing-complete system that allows for any user to create a more complex contract than what could be produced on the Bitcoin blockchain. But with greater complexity also comes glaring security concerns.
Complex smart contracts of the sort that could judge and execute a marriage contract based on the social and economic vows embedded within are difficult to write and even more difficult to secure and enforce. Because the onus of writing these smart contracts lie with the coders themselves (many of whom do not have the legal or technical knowledge needed to make a robust contract), holes in the code can easily lead to security flaws. Even more puzzling is devising a system that can review and critique a disputed contract.
Today, we leave those critiques up to courts, but what if smart contracts and the blockchain could perform a similar function based on the power of community instead of legal or religious authorities? During medieval times, Christians often married outside of the church and their marriages did not need to be officiated by priests or State functionaries. But if a marriage is "hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years," then how do we determine if those contractual threads have woven together to create the hoped for fabric?
Augur and Gnosis are two cryptocurrencies attempting to find a solution to the "oracle problem." While Gnosis hopes programmers will find an open source method to resolve this problem in the future, Augur is researching and developing a decentralized solution that allows token holders to "vote on the truth" to establish verification of an event or result. Perhaps an oracle for a smart contract could be a group or council of token holders with the ability to establish truth in relation to the contract's standard.
Let's imagine Mary and Jill utilize a blockchain contract for marriage. A group of witnessing peers could each hold tokens and be called upon to cast a vote on the maturation of the contract. If Mary cheats on Jill or if Jill doesn't meet key criteria established in the marriage contract, a vote could be called for and the couple's peers would have the ability to use their tokens to vote on voiding or amending the contract. In this way, a community of informed voters outside the legal structure of governments could confirm or deny the contractual obligations of a married couple.

"Blockchain is not just a technological revolution, it is primarily a socioeconomic revolution." – Thomas Backlund
The great promise of Nakamoto's original blockchain was that it could provide an in depth, accessible, trust environment that lies beyond the control of the modern State. Though the term "blockchain" has become a buzzword associated with product-less startups and pie-in-the-sky dreamers, the formidable strength of the blockchain lies in its ability to produce mechanisms that promote individual liberty.
Fashion icon and former tennis star Björn Borg saw this very opportunity when his company recently introduced "Marriage Unlocked," a digital notary that allows same-sex couples the opportunity to get married on the blockchain. Switzerland residents Sybille and Alexandria (last names withheld) were the first to get married through Borg's service. Because it is illegal to marry someone of the same-sex in Switzerland, Sybille and Alexandria turned to the internet to make their vows permanent. In the promotional video for Marriage Unblocked, one woman speaks of how the State used marriage to turn her and others into "second-class citizens."
Another notable blockchain marriage was between Russian couple Vasily Lifanovsky and Alla Tkachenko, who were the first to wed on the blockchain in their home country. Their marriage was performed on the Ethereum blockchain and included a prenuptial agreement that stipulated, among other things, a division of chores, time spent dating per week, and frequency of shopping. Other couples have chosen to encode instructions on what should be done in the event of death or divorce.
For those living on the fringes of what society deems an acceptable relationship, the blockchain provides an innovative way to inscribe your love. Users could hypothetically marry multiple partners or even things as they wish. Nothing stops a person from marrying a car, a building, or a group of people. A recent study from BYU suggested that there are up to 50,000 polygamist relationships in the United States and the blockchain could be a useful tool for those looking to challenge the illegal status of their love.
With the estimated cost of a modern marriage at a staggering $25,000, many couples also see an economic advantage in coding their marriage certificate on the blockchain. And dissolving those marriages becomes less expensive as well given the excessive cost of a traditional divorce. A blockchain marriage can expedite the cost and time associated with both of these and provide a simple framework for updating the contract as each party sees fit over time.
Though the legal ramifications of utilizing a blockchain ecosystem as a means to marry are non-existent, the innovative approach to quickly and easily pronounce a union between two or more people might ultimately require nations to reevaluate the institution all together. With blockchain increasingly seen as simply another asset in investment portfolios, extending the technology to the social realms of life could be the next step in preserving the original anti-authoritartian goals of the blockchain.

This paper examines the ex post flexibility of U.S. labor contracts during the 1970-95 period by investigating whether unanticipated changes in inflation increase the likelihood of a contract being renegotiated prior to its expiration. We find strong empirical support for this hypothesis. Specifically, our results indicate that renegotiations are triggered principally by large and infrequent price shocks of either sign. When combined with evidence that ex ante contract durations are shorter during episodes of increased inflation uncertainty, our results suggest that these contracts are flexible both ex ante and ex post to changes in the evolution of inflation.

Ain Soph — Marine Menagerie
(Musea FGBG-4630.AR, 1991/2005, CD)
Ain Soph — Five Evolved from Nine
(Made in Japan MCD 2925, 1993, CD)
by Jon Davis, 2006-05-01:
The line between fusion and fuzak can be a very fine one, and Ain Soph walks that line like a drunken goat, stepping first on one side, then on the other, back and forth with dizzying frequency. I love good fusion, but there are few forms of music I detest more than the bastard stepchild of electric jazz and easy listening. Which makes Ain Soph a somewhat frustrating proposition for me. When they're good, they're quite good, but when they're bad they're... quite boring. For the most part, the lead falls to the guitar of "Yozox," who is a strong player when he steps up, though much of his time is spent playing clean, smooth chords. My favorite parts are when he pushes the distortion a bit and plays with more edge and doesn't sound so highly rehearsed. Kikuo Fujiyama's keyboards are mainly good, though there is a tendency toward the kind of slick digital sounds many of us detest. But he succumbs to a much worse sin: solos played on sampled saxophone. This must be one of the most annoying sounds ever committed to tape – if you want a sax, get a frigging sax player! The band's primary influence is obviously Camel, and as times they come off as fairly good Camel imitators. But in addition to honoring Camel's best moments, Ain Soph also pays tribute to their idol's sappy melodic side. Both of these early-90s releases have their high and low points, and I'm hard pressed to pick one over the other.
by Mike McLatchey, 1993-10-01:
This Japanese band has been around for a while and has put out some pretty damn good music. Unabashedly Canterbury influenced (album titles: Hat & Field, Ride on a Camel), it seems that Ain Soph are trying to break away from that into a more original style. Their new album, Five Evolved from Nine, is quite excellent, and much more jazzy than you'd expect and seems a bit more like A Story from Mysterious Forest than the last one Marine Menagerie. Make what you will of that! Great music and it seems that the Japanese are catching up with bands such as Il Berlione and Ain Soph in the original progressive music scene.

Why Yorkshire's heather honey is the bees knees and beats manuku honey hands down - so says Leeds bee expert Michael Badger
Leeds bee expert Michael Badger tells Neil Hudson why manuka honey isn't all it's cracked up to be and why he backs grouse shooting

Michael Badger of Roundhay in his Bee House.......story Neil Hudson 24th oct 2016
Heather Honey: A Comprehensive Guide is one of those books, which, if (as Plato puts it in Timeaus) 'the periodic scourge of the deluge' ever descended and destroyed our way of life, the survivors of said catastrophe would no doubt laud as some kind of lost relic of high knowledge.
It might not be the kind of book you would consider buying on a whim, and at £30 (soft back) it's certainly a commitment but the book, penned over 19 years by Michael Badger MBE more than lives up to its title.
Moreover, there are even one or two controversial moments in the 374-page tome, like his claim that mānuka honey has no greater health benefits than ordinary honeys.
Mr Badger is one of the country's foremost bee experts. He is an honorary member of both Yorkshire Bee Keeping Association and its British equivalent; he is chairman of Bee Craft Limited, the monthly journal for beekeepers'.
When I meet him at his home in Roundhay he is more than happy to show me around his extensive garden and the unique purpose built 'bee house' made to house his numerous hives of bees.
It's these hives which he sometimes transports onto the North Yorkshire heather moors in late summer, at a time when most bees are going into hibernation for the winter, in order to harvest heather honey, which he claims has just as much potency as its mānuka cousin it tastes better, costs less and is British through and through.
"Heather honey is unique, produced at the end of the year when most bee colonies are shutting down, so you have to coax the bees back into life to get them to collect this epicurean honey," he explains. "So you have to re-wake them, you do that by introducing an expanding new colony headed-up by a young queen. Then you transport them to the heather moors and leave them for about three weeks to collect this gelatinous amber-golden honey. The result is a honey which is very distinct and has a nice floral character."
Michael Badger of Roundhay with his book Heather Honey .......story Neil Hudson 24th oct 2016
Mr Badger's appreciation of bees derives from his late great uncles and his father, Jack, who died in 2000 aged 90. A former Royal Dragoon cavalry trooper, he ended serving with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps during the Second World War finding themselves in a war-theatre dealing with severely injured mules and horses without resort to antibiotics, which forced them to improvise, by looking to nature.
"Honey is very good for people who are seriously ill, it's very digestible food. When a person takes in honey the body takes it straight into the bloodstream, because it's pre-digested. Honey is used to treat certain wounds due to its antimicrobial properties of a glucose-oxidase system forming a barrier against germs but at the same time allows oxygen to pass through. Being mentored by my schoolmaster Charles Bell and great uncles my father used to tell me that heather-going is a dying art. He told me to make sure people knew about its production methods. That's why I've written the book, to make sure the knowledge is passed on."
Wild honey bee almost extinct
Fascinated with beekeeping since the age of seven he became involved with the National Honey Show in 1972, Michael qualified as BBKA senior honey judge in 1984. He was honey steward at the Great Yorkshire Show for 44 years, 31 years as the Chief Honey Steward until last year. Subsequently he was President of the British Beekeepers' Association in 2000 and chairman of the Yorkshire BKA in 1983 and 2000. In 2003 he was made an MBE for his services to beekeeping at the national scene.
Michael Badger of Roundhay by his Bee House with a bottle of Honey Mead ...story Neil Hudson 24th oct 2016
Mr Badger, a father of three (he has two grandchildren), married to Hilary, whom he met when he came to Leeds from Northern Ireland in 1972. Leeds is his now adopted home. He notes: "I love Leeds, its ideal for bees."
Going back to the subject in hand, he explains there are two types of heather honey - ling and bell heather, the latter flowering in mid-June and being very similar to ordinary honey but lacking 'thixotropic qualities' of the ling. Ling is unique in that the thixotropic qualities give the honey a gel like consistency (due to the presence of special colloids and proteins) that when the honey is stirred vigorously its physical state turns to a liquid format that after a few days returns to its gel-like consistency. Mr Badger maintains that the experts will tell you that honeys share the same medicinal qualities which have been so much associated with mānuka honey but says heather honey remains much easier on the palate.
That's why he's keen to see heather moors maintained, even if that does mean promoting grouse shooting.
"The moors came about in Palaeolithic times when ancient man used to burn the grass so new grasses grew and they could hunt animals who came to feed on it but after 9,000 years of annual burning, it became like the Kansas Dust Bowl, nothing would grow, but it was perfect for heather. The heather moorlands of Britain cover about 25 per cent of uplands (15,000sq km), with about half of that managed for driven grouse shooting.
"People understandably get very sentimental about grouse shooting but if the heather dies out, you would end up with bracken, then trees and it would go back to forest and the heather moors would die out, along with the whole man-made habitat cherished by so many in early August.
"I do not hunt, don't shoot and don't fish but if you want to see the heather moors in all their glory, then they have to be maintained - in the majority, it's landowners who manage it for all. We're probably the only country in the world where grouse shooting it takes place; it is regarded as unique to Great Britain due to the superb skill required to shoot a flying bird that travels at 140 mph."
Heather Honey: A Comprehesive Guide, published by BeeCraft Ltd, available online.
In 1986, Mr Badger and Robin Tomlinson were instrumental in finding a home for Leeds Beekeepers' Association at Temple Newsam.
"There was nowhere at a meeting to huddle into to talk bees when it rained. Beekeepers like to have a chat and drink cups of tea, so I convinced the council to let us have facilities at Temple Newsam. They took us in and they have been a great inspiration to do their bit for the environment. I get a lot of pleasure knowing members have built on our early work and taken it forward to greater heights."


WINDHOEK, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Namibian boxer, Julius 'Blue Machine' Indongo, current IBF and IBO world champion will trade leather with WBA world champion, Ricky Burns, from Scotland on Apr. 15 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
Namibian Boxing Promoter, Nestor Tobias on Wednesday confirmed that negotiations between MTC Sunshine and Matchroom Promotions had been concluded successfully and the fight will take place in a 10,000-seater venue expected to be crowded with Scottish and English fans.
According to Tobias, three world title belts from different sanctioning bodies will be on the line.
"We are excited to have successfully negotiated this super fight, it is a fight that the world is waiting to see and Indongo is up to the task. From all the offers we received, we made the right choice choosing Burns who is also a respected champion in his own right," Tobias said.
Indongo stunned the world of boxing when he knocked down double world IBF and IBO champion, Eduard Troyanovsky in 40 seconds last year in Russia.
Indongo said, "It is an absolute honour for me to fight another world champion. Ricky is an accomplished champion, I respect what he has achieved so far, but I am going to Scotland to take his WBA belt away from him".
Meanwhile, his opponent, Burns (33) became a three weight world champion when he won the WBA world championship belt in 2016 and successfully defended it later the same year against Kiryl Relikh.
Currently, Indongo is a double world champion and remains undefeated with 21 fights and 21 straight wins.

HONG KONG, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- The government of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is planning to put prefabricated homes on trial among efforts to ease housing supply stress, an official said on Thursday.
The trial sites will be in the Science and Technology Park and the University of Hong Kong, said Secretary for Development of the HKSAR government Michael Wong Wai-lun at the opening ceremony for Construction Safety Week.
The prefabricated houses would be dormitories for young employees of the park and for students of the university Comprar Nike VaporMax Flyknit Negras , he noted.
Different from traditional construction style, modular construction uses units produced in factories and thus can reduce work load for construction workers, Wong said.
The idea of using "container homes" as low-rent residences has been in spotlight this week as a non-government organization, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service Comprar Nike VaporMax Off-White , advocated to build "container homes" and rent them at very low prices to families on the waiting list for public housing.


The ILocation interface looks like this.
I could create a full blown EmployeeConverter type to do the conversion or I could leverage the Converter delegate. To do this I could create a DomainToDtoConverter type which can be re-used for other domain to dto type conversions.
Notice that the Convert method takes in a Converter delegate? Using this type alone the client of this type would have to define a method that matches the converter delegate signature to do the conversion. This also means that you could use pass in an anonymous delegate, but that may not be the wisest choice because it's possible that this conversion may need to occur in multiple places in our application. So let's encapsulate that in a factory.
The DomainToDtoConverter type can now be re-used for converting different types. Yes I know this is probably not the greatest example but hopefully it helps.

ROLLINSFORD — Centernarian Chester Lloyd Goodrich was honored Friday morning with the Boston Post Cane at his home on Roberts Road for being the oldest resident in town.
The cane is part of a New England tradition that dates back more than 100 years. In 1909, the Boston Post Newspaper would present a gold-headed and ebony cane to the oldest resident of approximately 431 towns to recognize them for their dedication and long and fulfilling lives, according to the Hampton Heritage Commission.
Selectman Edmund Jansen, Jr. presented the cane to Goodrich, who turned 100 on July 26. Jansen explained the tradition to Goodrich, informing him that the cane is his for the rest of his life for protection.
"Thank you, but I don't need it," said Goodrich, who later joked if he was going to get any money for his longevity.
Goodrich, who suffers from dementia, smiled and laughed throughout the ceremony, enjoying all the young faces standing in the living room of the home he built on what used to be his old farm.
Born in Berwick, Maine, Goodrich purchased land on Roberts Road in 1938 and operated a dairy and vegetable farm there until 1984. At this time, he sold most of the land, keeping just two acres to build what he calls his retirement home.
"He used to tell us lots of stories," said Kim Getchell, his caregiver who resides next door.
Roberts Road used to be a dirt road and Goodrich used his horses to plow the snow in the winter, she said.
"He had cows on the land across the street, behind this house and where this house stands now," she said.
Goodrich might have sold the farm, but he never stopped working the land he lived on. "He used to be outside all of the time up until a few months ago," said Getchell. "He mowed his lawn up until last year."
Getchell said Goodrich maintained blueberry bushes on his two-acre property after selling the farm. He would also help neighbors with their gardens.
Goodrich was famous in town for his honey, having been a beekeeper up until 2010.
Southeastern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine community members might also remember him selling his milk and fresh fruit and vegetables or as one of Hannaford supermarket's produce employees until he was 90 years old.
Jansen did note that Goodrich is not the oldest resident of Rollinsford, but he is the oldest residing resident. There are two older women from town who are currently living in nursing homes, which exempts them from being cane holders.
Goodrich will own the cane for the rest of his life or if he decides to relocate, although doubtful, as he has been a devoted Rollinsford resident for more than 74 years.
Birthday wishes may be sent to Chester Lloyd Goodrich at 168 Roberts Road, Rollinsford, NH 03869.

New Kanye struggles between two temptations
March 9, 2016 fn_admin album review, Kanye, Kanye West, Life of Pablo, music review
By: Peter Kolb, First Year, English
"Who do I turn too?"
Following one of the most disastrous album rollouts I can remember, Kanye's new album, "The Life of Pablo," is finally out. Don't bother reading too much into the name, as it seems Kanye probably ended up choosing it by flipping a coin (it supposedly refers to St. Paul, but at this point, whatever).
Initially, I thought the album was an even less cohesive version of his sophomore album "Late Registration." A group of songs that, sure, are individually very good and a joy to listen to, but when they come together don't form any clear message.
Then, after multiple listens, I started to get an idea of what Kanye was going for. This is a very personal album. "T.L.O.P" lets us into Kanye's mind, where there's a battle raging between his humble Chicago, faith-filled roots and the addictive limelight. This battle is nothing new to Kanye. He's delivered some of the most soulful, beautiful tracks on "College Dropout" and some of the most arrogant, hotheaded tracks on "Yeezus."
What's so special about "T.L.O.P" is that we get both versions of 'Ye at once. Kanye leads off the album with an incredible gospel hymn in "Ultralight Beam." Then, on the very next song, Kanye raps about having sex with a model who just recently bleached her a–hole. It's a very abrupt juxtaposition that is by no means unintentional. This occurs over and over on the album. "Famous," one of the standout tracks on the album, features a beautiful hook by Rihanna, which laments, "I loved you better than your own kin did… I don't blame you much for wanting to be free."
This touching chorus leads right into a verse with the rapper saying he and Taylor Swift "might still have sex" since he made her famous. A pleasant, sweet refrain met with arrogant, obnoxious verses. The examples are endless on the album. What's important to me, though, is that this album does not lack cohesion, as some complain. It is a clear struggle between Kanye's two temptations.
However, Kanye does get a little too self-indulgent at times. He often forces his own message, like on "Lowlights," a two-minute track that is simply an unknown female voice talking about how much the Lord means to her. It's no doubt touching and well written, but it is Kanye force-feeding us one half of his message. The other half comes out even worse at times. In order to show his temptation to fame and the "evils" of life, Kanye doesn't pen some beautiful lines about it like he did on past tracks like "Runaway" or "Good Life." Instead, he delivers some of the worst, ugliest lines I've heard on a Kanye album. (If you've listened to the album, you know which lines I'm referring to, since they stick out like sore thumbs on a few otherwise beautiful songs.)
While these mistakes are few and in between, it is nonetheless incredibly frustrating as I am a big Kanye fan. These mistakes ruin the album. Not ruin it in a traditional sense, where they're so bad that the album is rendered unlistenable or even ruin it to the point that I would call the album "bad." They ruin it just like "Drunk and Hot Girls" and "Barry Bonds" ruined his third album, "Graduation." Kanye was so, so close to putting out something on the same level as "College Dropout" or "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," but thanks to these small mistakes, he fell short. "The Life of Pablo" is not a classic. I can't imagine someone convincing me that this is his best album, or even top three. What's clear from the moment this album release started is that Kanye is off his game. This album is messy, unsure of itself and, simply put, not great.
Make no mistake, even when Kanye West is off his game, it's still pretty darn good. This album has some incredible songs ("Ultralight Beam," "Real Friends," "FML," "Waves") without having any real misses (although, special shout out to perhaps the worst addition to any Kanye project I have ever heard in "Silver Surfer Intermission"). What's so frustrating about it is that we should expect more from Kanye. Any artist can put out a collection of good songs; only Kanye West can put out "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
While this album is very strong, it still failed to meet expectations set by Kanye's past discography.

On September 12, 2011 the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), a proposed rule change to extend the effective date of the amendment ("Amendment") to the continuing disclosure service of the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access system ("EMMA") to provide for the posting of credit rating and related information on the EMMA public website (the "original proposal"). The Amendment was approved by the SEC on October 13, 2010, with an effective date of no later than October 13, 2011.
The proposed rule change would change the effective date of the original proposal to "no later than December 31, 2011" but would not change the language of the Amendment. Under the proposed rule change, the MSRB would announce the proposed rule change no later than five (5) business days prior to December 31, 2011.
Currently, the continuing disclosure service of EMMA receives submissions of continuing disclosure documents and related indexing information from issuers, obligated persons and their agents pursuant to continuing disclosure undertakings entered into consistent with Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as other voluntary continuing disclosure documents concerning municipal securities. The original proposal amended the continuing disclosure service of EMMA to allow for the posting of credit rating information and related information to provide additional information to retail investors and other market participants regarding municipal securities (the "credit ratings project").
The proposed rule change would provide the MSRB with sufficient time to complete its existing development related to the credit ratings project to allow for the posting of credit rating information provided by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs) that agree to participate in the credit ratings project, as further described in the original proposal. The MSRB had previously received the commitment of one NRSRO to participate in the credit ratings project and is in on-going discussions with a second NRSRO. Additional time is required to finalize an agreement with the second NRSRO. The extension of the effective date as proposed in the proposed rule change would permit the credit ratings project to be launched with the participation of both NRSROs. Any additional NRSROs that hereafter agree to participate in the credit ratings project under the terms of the original proposal would be incorporated into the credit ratings project in a subsequent phase of development.
Questions on the proposals may be directed to Peg Henry, General Counsel, Market Regulation, or Leslie Carey, Associate General Counsel, at (703) 797-6600.
 File No. SR-MSRB-2011-16. Comments on the proposed rule change should be submitted to the SEC and should reference this file number.
 See SR-MSRB-2010-03 (May 20, 2010).
 See SEC Release No. 34-63086, File No. SR-MSRB-2010-03 (October 13, 2010) ("Approval Order").


Whether in a pool, lake, river, or the ocean, swimming is an essential part of summer, no matter your age. But could this favorite hot weather activity damage your ears and lead to hearing loss?
Swimming can pose some significant risks to your ears, as it can cause otitis externa, also known as swimmer's ear. This condition is caused by exposure to bacteria found in natural bodies of water. It can also be contracted in swimming pools or hot tubs that aren't properly sanitized or treated with chlorine. When contaminated water becomes trapped in your inner ear, the bacteria can breed and cause an infection. Such infections can potentially damage the fragile hair cells inside the ear responsible for transmitting sound, leading to hearing loss.

Glasgow Rangers: James Tavernier and his rare gift
He won't get rid of the comparison. Gary Stevens was once a right-back at the Glasgow Rangers, he won six championships between 1988 and 1994. Today, the 59-year-old Englishman works in Australia as a physiotherapist, and is therefore praised to talk about James Tavernier. Like the current Rangers captain, Stevens was once considered a constant forward defender. "At that time I was able to run up and down the train for 90 or 120 minutes," says Stevens to the "Daily Record". "But I wasn't technically so strong." TAV "is also an even better goal scorer than most in the field." And from the perspective of a physio, he adds: "He has the rare gift that his muscles are both that of a sprinter and that of a marathon man." Tavernier should thank his parents for this gift.
the bandage is not washed
that compare with Alexander-Arnold
So far, 63 competitive games have been on the Rangers program this season, Tavernier played 56, except for two games all over the full distance. "You also have to be lucky if you push your body so," says Stevens. There are now two more endgames for Tavernier: on Wednesday in the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt and on Saturday in the Scottish Fa Cup against Heart of Midlothian. "We want both titles and Jimmy proud," says Tavernier.
Of course, he will lead the Rangers to the pitch in both finals. But somehow different than usual, because there is the thing with the captain's armband. It was part of the ritual for years that Jimmy Bell demonstratively roamed him over the left upper arm before the kick -off. But shortly before the semi-final second leg, the legendary witness manager died surprisingly after almost 30 years in the service of the Rangers. "He never washed the bandage when we won," says Tavernier. So he wants to wear the same piece of fabric as in the 3-1 win over RB Leipzig.
The perfect captain for this club.
Craig Moore about James Tavernier
Of course, Tavernier also met in this game. He scored seven goals (four penalty) in the Europa League, none in the entire competition has more – and as a defender. The statistics become even more impressive, because Tavernier only scored all seven goals in the knockout rounds, in all home games against Dortmund, Red Stern Belgrade, Braga and Leipzig, he was responsible for the 1-0, which is even more important underlined. Craig Moore, formerly captain of the Rangers and later also a defender in Gladbach, says: "Actually, he plays back to the right, but James is always in forward gear, shoots strong standards, is certainly at penalty and has an incredible timing when he is at the front of the long post must appear. The perfect captain for this club. "
They only call it "TAV" in Scotland, but it was a long way to go to the hero status with the Rangers. At home in England he was considered a great talent, even if Tavernier never played in a U-National elf. Newcastle took him from the Leeds United Academy, but he did not make his breakthrough, he played twice in the Premier League, a total of 36 minutes in the 2012/13 season. Newcastle awarded him down to the 5th division, Gateshead, Shrewbury or the Mk Dons. In 2014, the Magpies sold him to Wigan Athletic for 100,000 euros, which in turn passed him on to Bristol City. In 2015 the Rangers bought him for 250,000 euros.
Tavernier started with the second division team at the time. The fans were amazed at ten goals and 18 templates in the first season. Striker Kenny Miller, one of the profiteers of Tavernier flanks at the time, remembers in the BBC interview: "TAV came as an unknown size, but you immediately saw his qualities." Today, the ex-colleague is a modern right-back, as fierce as Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. But also similarly defensive. "He is a much better defender than his reputation," Miller claims. But as the leader of the team, failures would often be tightened to Tavernier first. "Sometimes you are too fast to call someone as legend. But at TAV we were rather too slow." Nobody expresses the spirit of the club better than Tavernier. Like the Rangers, he struggled up from the lowlands, from Gateshead to Seville.
"And his numbers are terrifying," adds Miller.
In 345 competitive games for the Rangers, Tavernier scored 83 goals and gave over 100 assists, this season alone there are 18 goals and 17 templates.
Many center forwards dream of such values.
"He has this drive," explains his coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, which is why Tavernier is so difficult to defend.
At the same time, the Dutch repeatedly praises the defense work of his leader on the field in order to direct the concentration on the actual task.
Tavernier himself tries to keep the hype around his person.
"We tried to make the club a little better every year. And this final is the reward," he says.
He does not say that it would hardly have been possible without the marathon man.
Others are already talking about him enough.
