Understanding The Royals Current Place In The Baseball Universe
By Craig Brown Aug 31, 2012, 2:30pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Understanding The Royals Current Place In The Baseball Universe
Following the Royals sweep of the Tigers, I received a Tweet from @markgfitz:
Royals 7-21 vs. 3 AL cellar teams (Minn, Tor, Sea); 52-50 vs. everyone else. Thoughts?
Kind of interesting, no? And this segues nicely with Clark writing about the 12 game losing streak, how we now stand exactly 12 games under .500 at this point and the "ifs" and "buts" that go along.
Just seven wins against teams who aren't that great. Of course, thanks to the three division format, only the Twins are a worse team, winning percentage wise. Although that will certainly change between now and the end of the season. The Mariners are streaking while the Jays have lost Jose Bautista and are sliding into oblivion. And the Twins are the Twins.
I didn't see @markgfitz's tweet about cherry-picking teams... It's more about the Royals having some sort of strange psychosis depending on who they play and at a given point of the season.
Bigger picture, the Royals record against teams with a record currently greater than .500 is 36-38. That's the second best mark in the Central, behind only the White Sox. Turn it around and against sub-.500 clubs the Royals are 23-33. Maddening, isn't it?
And it just kind of defies explanation. Maybe some journo or PR type will talk about how the Royals magically elevate their game when playing teams like the Tigers. Because who doesn't want to beat Detroit? And then they'll drop a four game series in Seattle just because it's difficult to get fired up against the Mariners. Whatever. That's a bunch of bunk and we all know it.
Sometimes, strange things happen in baseball. Justin Verlander gets touched for eight runs. Or Luke Hochevar outduels David Price. Or the Royals don't bunt with a runner on second and nobody out. You get the idea.
I'm a believer that at the end of the 162 games, you'll find the true measure of your team. If they lost 90 games, that's what they are: A 72 win team. It doesn't matter if they lost 12 games in a row at some point. And it doesn't matter if they get crushed by the cellar dwellers. They went 72-90. Case closed.
Look at the Royals home record this season. They dropped their first 10 home games and won just four of their first 17 games covering two home stands. We wrung our collective hands. "Oh, this team is so bad at home. This is awful." Yet since then the Royals have gone 25-20. Now the script is flipped. This is a team to be feared at the K. They take care of business at home. Bam!
The Royals have won 59 games and the Pythag Record puts them at 60 wins. Seems to be within the margin of error. And all of this says the Royals, when the dust settles following game 162, should have a grand total around 74 wins. That is who they are likely to be when October rolls around. And there will still be those who insist on removing the 12 game losing streak... "But if you take away the 12 losses, the Royals would have been above .500!" they will argue. Fine. If you can take away the Royals poor start, I get to remove August where they won 17 games and are 6 games over .500. We can play this game all day... And I bet we end up at a winning percentage around .454.
But we can't do this exercise all day. Not if we are going to fairly evaluate the team and how they finished. As Clark mentioned, plenty of things happened throughout the year, but to one extent or another those sorts of things happen to every team every year. There are injuries, slumps and rotten luck. Some teams get through them, some don't. But as the season winds down, we find the true level of our team.
We can search for reasons the Royals dropped 10 in a row at home to start the season. We can scratch our heads at why the Royals play miserable baseball against bad teams. Sometimes, there are no answers.
To me, that's kind of the beauty of this game.

Currier & Ives, a firm of American lithographers, was prominently active during the 19th century. The firm developed from the business founded in New York City by Nathaniel Currier (1813-88). In 1834 Nathaniel Currier, who had learned lithography from the Pendletons in Boston, formed a firm which later became Currier and Ives when James M. Ives becoming a partner in 1852. In the mid-nineteenth century, most of the lithographic crayon work was printed on hand presses.
The Currier & Ives firm, which made a specialty of racing scenes, used hand presses after which the black prints were then hand-colored. It has been estimated that Currier and Ives produced more prints dealing with horses than the four hundred other lithographers at the time put together. Trotting, running, or standing still, the horse was a symbol of the American desire for speed, which was its heritage to the age of the automobile.
Currier & Ives antique prints varied in size from approximately three by four inches to eighteen by twenty inches, and in price from 6 cents to three dollars. The firm also made and sold the popular Currier crayons used by lithograph artists. Currier's first successful prints depicted destruction from fires. From the beginning Currier combined a pictorial sense with an instinct for the news value of his prints, and the most popular at the start were those depicting fires with lurid flames and heroic firemen. The burning of the Planters Hotel in New Orleans was the earliest of these prints in 1835. Another print, the "Awful Conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington" in 1840, was an arresting representation of the fire on the Long Island Sound that destroyed a large part of lower Manhattan. This lithograph appeared three days after the fire as an extra for the New York Sun and portrayed colorfully the ship in flames and the people floating in the icy water. People heard about it all over the country and Currier's fame was assured. Thereafter, Currier covered every major disaster, especially fires.
These lithographs were followed by the series, now known as Currier & Ives prints, devoted to contemporary subjects that ranged from the familiar to the sensational: scenes of social and domestic life, public disasters, and raids by Native Americans. This enterprise made Currier a national figure. Sometimes the prints were reproductions of well-known paintings like Neagle's portrait of Dr. Dewees, but mostly the lithographs were drawn by skilled artists and workmen, like Edward Troye and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. In the 1850s, Currier promoted the artist James Merritt Ives (1824-95) to partnership in the firm, whom he had employed as a bookkeeper. Thereafter all prints published by the firm bore the dual trademark, Currier & Ives.
Most Currier & Ives prints were first submitted in the form of sketches or oil paintings. Artists receive about $10 per picture and there were no royalties. Connected with the firm was a staff of specialists. George Durrie was a master at painting snow, rocks and lichens. Charles Parsons excelled as the marine expert. Thomas Worth did African American cartoons. Arthur Tait was the hunting scene artist. Louis Maurer was famous for the horse prints. It was not uncommon for several artists to work on one particular picture, each contributing his particular specialty.
Other important Currier prints were the urban scenes such as "Central Park Winter" with the ice skaters dashing about in the New York City park and also the dynamic rural "Early Winter" with the children on the ice. Others included "Preparing for Market," "Harvest", Washington Irving's home at Sunnyside and the "Mill Dam at Sleepy Hollow." Through the Mississippi River prints, the romance of the American frontier was fully represented. The West and the Gold Rush naturally brought out the "Covered Wagon Print" a glowing picture of the Rocky Mountains while the "Niagara Falls" gave a vivid picture of a national scene.
An important function of the Currier and Ives prints was the publication of about five hundred portraits of historical or contemporary characters, including the Presidents. The first five of these were made from Gilbert Stuart's paintings. Many episodes in Washington's career were circulated widely. Trumbull's historical paintings kept the "Declaration" and the surrenders of Cornwallis and Burgoyne before the people.
Transportation of all kinds -- clipper ships, steamboats, steam ships, whalers, yachts, schooners, frigates and railroads -- were visualized through Currier & Ives lithographs. The clipper Comet in a hurricane off Bermuda in 1852 is a renowned example of their work. This group of prints was published parallel to Cooper's great sea tales, and sprang from the national love for the sea, which in the nineteenth century carried trade all over the world. The Currier & Ives political cartoons were also popular in the nineteenth century. In addition, while not considered innovative from the point of art and nature, were the sentimental and moral prints, considered fit companions of the novels like Ten Nights in a Bar Room or The Wide Wide World.
Currier was also recognized as the creator of new lithographic techniques in the making of prints, standardizing the method of production, and greatly refining the marketing of prints. Currier & Ives led the popular picture business from 1840 to 1890 and helped American people become acquainted with their history and country. Their colorful and dashing prints, framed in walnut, enlivened the parlors of many. But even in its heyday with a catalog of over 4000 prints, business was mainly dependent on its pushcart customers. After the deaths of the partners, the firm continued until 1907 but improved color printing and photography hastened its collapse. But the Currier & Ives tradition of popular reporting through color prints endures. It was the beginning of American pictorial journalism. Today original Currier & Ives prints, some hand-colored, are valuable collectors' items.

[Review] Serious – Park Ji Hoon
November 24, 2021 November 24, 2021 Posted in KPOP, ReviewsTagged Park Ji Hoon
Remember to support favourite artists, songs and performances in the 2021 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. Click here to vote!
A month overdue, but here is my review for Park Ji Hoon's latest song titled Serious. Serious was released at the end of last month (28 October – to be exact) and is featured on Park Ji Hoon's fifth mini-album, Hot&Cold, since his solo debut. This is also his second comeback of the year, following the likes of Gallery and My Collection back in August.
To be honest, Serious is one of the releases that somehow slipped my radar. I do remember it being teased and its release. But I haven't listened to the song at all. Tracking my listening pattern through my Weekly KPOP Charts, it appears that I only 'discovered' Serious two weeks back. So, I am kind of going into it with a fresh mind today. But there might be a reason why I had only 'discovered' the song so many weeks after it release. Even when I do sit down to listen to it for this review, I find Serious to be a little plain. There really isn't anything memorable within the song. The instrumentals of Serious falls into the R&B/pop territory. While this combination can be innovative and creative, Serious just isn't a good case for that potential. I did get a moody sense from it, which I think compliments the lyrics of the song, and I did like the sleek start. But other than that, Serious was your standard backing to a dance song. Hook-wise, there was a bit of repetition in Serious, which helps build the song's momentum to an extent. But they don't stand out as much. Like the instrumentation, there isn't really anything fresh or new that blows my mind or peaks my interest. Similarly, melody-wise, not a big fan of what the song did. I feel the strongest aspect of Serious was the vocal work. There were some good vocals in the song thanks to the slight raspy nature of Park Ji Hoon's voice, and I did like the pre-chorus rapping and the momentum that we got out of that. The one vocal aspect that I disagree with is the switch to rap-singing in the chorus. its fine in the verses, but I just didn't like how it came to be to the chorus. Overall, Serious is a lacking and unmemorable release, and ultimately a letdown following the likes of Gallery.
While the song might have not blown me away, Park Ji Hoon in this video did. Park Ji Hoon shows off some serious acting chops in this music video, and its so good that it makes this music video so much better. From what I see in this video, I think Park Ji Hoon's character recently broke up with his partner, which leads him to this emotional state he is in throughout the video. He is locked in a hypothetical room. One moment he was writing a message in the bottle to his partner (I am assuming to ask for forgiveness), with the room being peaceful and lightened up. The next moment, it is trashed and the message in the bottle that he originally had written had gone missing. It appears that there is two sides of Park Ji Hoon in the video (represented by the scenes lightened up with the white light vs. the scenes lightened up a red light). I think the one side really wants to make amends (the white light), while the other side doesn't want to. It got to the point where the glass bottle was 'laid to rest' in the boot of the car, as if it was kidnapped (which might explain the missing message above). The yellow light at the end seems to represent that Park Ji Hoon comes to terms with his emotions, and the sorry that we do seem is acceptance that he was the cause of the breakdown of their relationship and that there won't be any chance of going back to what they were, even though he is 'Serious' about going back. Serious guesses on what is happening and I could be very wrong, but I find the music video to be quite interesting.
The choreography is plain for me, but the entire performance still felt fitting for the song. It did bring to my attention that Serious doesn't have much of a break in it and Park Ji Hoon is constantly moving and singing at the same time without any seconds to breathe, so I give him some points for that. But the moves don't really impress me.
Song – 6/10
Performance – 6.5/10
Overall Rating – 7/10

I was pleased to discover your feature-commentary article entitled "In defense of the year's 'worst movie'" that you had become aware of the negative sentiments surrounding Paul Haggis's "Crash." However, as you defended the film I gained the impression that you were personally attacking Scott Foundas claiming that he was "too cool" for the average movie-goer. However, it is your right as a columnist to integrate your personality into your articles and you certainly hold the proper distinction to do so.
When I finally saw "Crash" I couldn't help be feel underwhelmed. Though the film is well-constructed, well-produced, well-acted and well-written, the film struck me as emotionally and morally distant. I was surprised to see the film end up on many top ten lists at the end of 2005. It is no surprise that soon after I had jumped the "Crash is the worst film of the year!" bandwagon. This turn primarily occurred because of my disagreement of its position as one of the year's best.
Now your statement that an essential film is to manipulate the audience is apt. But, feeling cheated, as I did, is not the intention of the movie experience. A journey lacking a substantial or relevant payoff is not worth the price of admission and just as I have been disappointed with many thriller and horror films of the past, I felt the same way with "Crash." Excuse my candor but "Crash" is an "After school special" dressed in Hollywood clothing. I'm aware that the film is considered "independent" but it seems to have enough showbiz political clout that the film was never in danger of not finding distribution. This film has nothing new to say about racism and humanity that is not already taught through school, family, friendship, and the media.
Many of the problems I had with the film have already been stated by many others. The archetypical representation of the various classes and races in "Crash," as well as the obviously foreseeable growth of its characters was no surprise. It is conventional and expected. The convoluted coincidences seemed like a cheat of construction as well as a narrative deus ex machine. The saintly daughter, the misunderstood repairman, the conflicted policemen, the sheltered upper-class, etc., all have been represented before in cinema. Paul Haggis created "Crash" by standing on the shoulder of giants but he seems to be the only one getting credit.
The biggest issue I had while watching Crash was how aware I was that I was being manipulated by the material. Because I have seen these stories of redemption and racial equality so many times before I could not become emotionally invested in the material presented. I think film is a wonderful medium that can affect the audience in wonderful ways. I am glad to see that many walked out of Crash touched by its message. But as an Asian-American there was little to gain of what I was already well aware of in our society. Instead it had the opposite effect that was intended by the film and though it my not necessarily remain as the worst film of the year for me, it is definitely the most over-rated I have seen in 2005.

When change requires you to challenge people's familiar reality, it can be difficult, dangerous work. Whatever the context, whether in the private or the public sector, many will feel threatened as you push though major changes. But as a leader, you need to find a way to make it work. Ron Heifetz first defined this problem with his distinctive theory of 'adaptive leadership' in "Leadership Without Easy Answers." In a second book, "Leadership on the Line," Heifetz and coauthor Marty Linsky highlighted the individual and organizational dangers of leading through deep change in business, politics, and community life. Now, Heifetz, Linsky, and coauthor Alexander Grashow are taking the next step: "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership" is a hands-on, practical guide containing stories, tools, diagrams, cases, and worksheets to help you develop your skills as an adaptive leader, able to take people outside their comfort zones and assess and address the toughest challenges. The authors have decades of experience helping people and organizations create cultures of adaptive leadership. In today's rapidly changing world, "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership" can be your handbook to meeting the demands of leadership in a complex world.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities released video footage Friday showing Tyre Nichols being beaten by five Memphis police officers who held the Black motorist down and repeatedly struck him with their fists, boots and batons as he screamed for his mother. The video is filled with violent moments showing the officers, who are also Black, chasing and pummeling Nichols and leaving him on the pavement propped against a squad car as they fist-bump and celebrate their actions. The footage emerged one day after the officers were charged with murder in Nichols' death. The chilling images of another Black man dying at the hands of police renewed tough questions about how fatal encounters with law enforcement continue even after repeated calls for change. Protesters gathered for mostly peaceful demonstrations in multiple cities, including Memphis, where several dozen demonstrators blocked the Interstate 55 bridge that carries traffic over the Mississippi River toward Arkansas.

New synthetic opioid complicates public health response to overdoses
A synthetic opioid up to 40 times more powerful than fentanyl is scrambling the public health response to the addiction crisis in a growing number of U.S. cities. The big picture: Nitazine comes in powder, pill and liquid form and requires time-consuming lab work to trace. Often laced into substances that users think is fentanyl or heroin, it's potentially lethal or can cause a more severe onset of withdrawal symptoms.

words cant describe the feelings we had when we watched the dvd that thomas hill did of our daughters wedding. It was like being transported back to the day. seeing the little looks that passed between bride and groom the love shinning out of their eyes.it is priceless Thomas is a true artist he captured the moments to perfection. The romance the beauty the true enchantment of the day. He has edited the film beautifully i could have paid ten times the fee and would still be delighted i highly recommend thomas hill. in fact i am booking him again for my other daughters wedding next summer. The quality of the equipment and film was exceptional. Thomas on the day was amazing we didnt even notice him. He was so descrete. The wedding packages he give are fabulous value for money.
I have worked along side quite a few videographers during my professional career, none of which have even come close to Thomas's professional approach and outstanding quality.
I recently got to view a clients completed DVD and the results are amazing. I now recommend Thomas to all of my clients who are considering a videographer.
It was very much a last minute decision to have our wedding filmed and probably one of the best decisions I have made. I cannot thank Thomas enough for his amazing work on our wedding video which is truly wonderful and will be treasured forever. He captured every special moment and really has reduced me to tears (happy ones) watching it. It was lovely to see parts of the day that as a bride we do not get to see.
From my first initial contact with Thomas he has been so helpful and professional and I would highly recommend him for any wedding he was just lovely. I could not have wished for a better person to work with us on the day and worth every penny!
Thank you so much Tom for the most amazing wedding video. You have been so friendly and accommodating from the start, offering us a range of extra's to make up the perfect package to suit our needs. The highlights video is particularly good, very cleverly edited with the right amount of sentiment and coverage of the whole day. Nearly everyone who's watched it has cried, including the men! My family and friends have watched it over again, as have Matt and I. The quality was fabulous, the effects extremely professional and we are thrilled to have such a great video to enjoy for years to come. We would certainly recommend you to any future brides. If you are looking for a fabulous, professional wedding video then Tom is your man.
I highly recommend Thomas Hill from our big day on film, on the day we hardly knew he was there, but he was also extremely friendly and approachable throughout both our wedding day and when booking his service and has been since. The DVD is amazing, more than I ever imagined and we will have many years to come where we can put it on and remember our special day. It is both entertaining and a tear jerker to watch! Thank you Thomas!

It's A United Front On January Window
Lee Charnley has been doing the rounds lately. Yesterday he spoke about the plan to get St James Park full. While we love the idea of having 52,000 fans cheering on the boys, it is concerning that the attendance is so low despite recent results.
The managing director has come out today and hinted that it's likely to be a quiet winter transfer window. This is what Charnley had to say about January to BBC Newcastle.
"What I don't want to do is over-promise and under-deliver.
"But… if there's an opportunity that makes sense for us, that may well be something we would look at."
Newcastle United managing director Lee Charnley talks to @bbcnewcastle about the January transfer window #NUFC pic.twitter.com/QnJlh7vIhL
— Matthew Raisbeck (@raisbeck10) December 11, 2019
This sounds awfully familiar to us as this is precisely Steve Bruce's stance on the winter window. Bruce has been saying over the past few months that he's not seen his entire squad just yet, and they'll only bring in someone if it's the right deal.
The age-old adage of 'like a new signing' also comes to mind with Lee's comments here. While he's correct about Bruce not having seen Florian Lejeune this season, we were hardly going to strengthen at center-back.
We certainly hope this pertains only to the first-team. They should be bringing in some youngsters to the Academy at the very least.
A lot is going to depend on how the team does over the next few weeks and also if there are any fresh injury concerns. We still don't know how long Allan Saint-Maximin is going to be out. If it's for an extended period, then Newcastle could really suffer in his absence.
Right now, both Matt Ritchie and Jamaal Lascelles are due to be back next month. Ritchie will be a big boost as he can provide cover for Jetro Willems at left wing-back and also play up top on the right-wing.
With around £20m left in the budget for January, that would likely be enough to get Jarrod Bowen in from Hull City. He would be an astute signing and make sense as a January addition.
There are also some outgoings that Newcastle should be working on. We'd like to see both Jack Colback and Henri Saivet out the door next month as a bare minimum.
While Charnley is playing down the expectations, there's plenty that needs to be done in January. A couple of youngsters and Jarrod Bowen would be a decent window and should be enough to keep us mid-table.
However, if we continue to win over the next month and steadily climb the table, why not just go for it? Spend the money on a top goal scorer in addition to Bowen and some youngsters. That might help fill the stadium.
If Ashley and Co. really want a full St James Park, then spend the money next month on a push for Europe.

c-dog
Bruce has done a stellar job
The contingent who willed Rafa to take the shackles off have been vindicated
I think both sets were right though
The sole goal under Ashley will always be Premier League survival
And that is all both managers are trying to achieve with their budgets
first the carrot then the stick.
"well we have to pay for all these free tickets somehow Lee, put the cheque book away for another year."
Martoon said that a lot of hatred is directed towards match going fans , not sure it's like that. In the early days there were cries if "sheep" – haven't seen that for a while – and the unfortunately uncomfortable pointing out that they are fuelling Ashley's long term plan, but nothing like the vitriol, lecturing about fan status and bragging about getting something for nothing that has been pointed towards those taking a stand.
Rather than lashing out because they are secretly embarrassed by their lack of personal commitment perhaps just holding their hands up and saying that's all they can do will be enough to leave that argument there for now. There's no point in boycotting fans lecturing matchgoers because their price has been found and that's that.
I would have thought, though, that those who have benefitted from free ticket giveaways could be a little more thankful to those boycotters who gave up their seats and by doing so effectively handed them over for nothing. A little gratitude for that present wouldn't go amiss, after all you wouldn't have got them otherwise. And perhaps a little less abusive lecturing and gloating over the sacrifice your fellow fans make for you.
C-dig – stellar? Wow you are easily pleased.
My mates who still have season tickets and have managed to get 5 freebies , 2 of these are going to friends who support Liverpool , one is being 'kept' for when uni mates visit … don't think they'll be shouting for the toon
Bleatin' n Bruced
Well he's outperforming every manager since Pardews glorious 11/12 season
I'd say that's a job well done
Sorry, they aren't giving tickets to homeless kids who live in middle of nowhere …them again , it's sort of impossible for them to get to SJP anyway given they can't afford transport or a packed lunch
Yes I also agree if it's filling the ground they wanted (and probably more eager support) they could have opened the seats up to worthy support that really can't afford it. Tatty management with no class though. They're purely seeing if they can milk a new season ticket market with their loss leader.
C-dog – not sure why people keep saying Bruce has difficult circumstances , hrs got an 80 million front line and a Messiah as backup , that's the most we've spent on a front line in Ashley's tenure which would mean every other managers circumstances were impossible
C-dog – according to "stats" and of course, up to now. Let's see how durable his "brand" of football is in a few months shall we? I'd call it stellar if we were hammering down on a cup and in the top five. "Stellar" is NOT dragging our backsides around lower to mid table by the skin of our teeth. Like I said easily pleased.
Aye with that spend i'd be wanting more "stellar" for my £'s. 😉
Bruce has won me over anyway
Credit to him
There are plenty of clubs for underprivileged and those with various difficulties who could have organised some match days. I appreciate thee would be area restrictions on certain disabilities but there are a few worthy causes out there.
Easily pleased, easily won.
The way people talk on here it's as if fatty's giving the tickets to poor orphan children who would bleed black and white apart from the fact they are too busy washing the M1 with an old toothbrush to pay for dinner…. The majority of tickets will go to people who could well afford to buy a ticket but won't , obviously they'll take one for nowt ..
Fair play to whoever is actually giving the tickets to children but I thought you had to nominate them and tickets were sent direct to their houses – not sure how somebody is going to surprise the poor mother/orphan on Xmas day as she'll already have ticket
Bambams
'UNDER-DELIVER' – God forbid you do that Lee !
What would we think if you under delivered
Oh and I thought the free ticket has to be of the same age band as the current season ticket holder so not sure how you can even give them to children ??? Maybe somebody is stretching the truth to fulfill an agenda ?
Half-season tickets must be the same age band (e.g. adult or senior etc.) as the eligible season ticket holder.
ASM is going to be out for a while so need someone in as Atsu is t good enough.
Sell Gayle and Atsu and bring in Bowen and Fraser. That would improve our team massively.
While we're on offer a couple of million for Glen Murray. He offers ten times more than Joelinton!
The next Mike Williamson
i thought Bruce would have the team playing slightly better than Rafa (in terms of style), but be on between 10-16 pts by now. so his styles far worse than i imagained possible, but hes picked up 6-12 more points than i expected. but weve been incredibly lucky so far and owe a lot of points to the tactic of having dubravka save everything.
still a long season ahead of us and we'll hit a lot of twist and turns and bumps along the way,
i wouldn't be crowing just yet,
so far we've not played well, carried a lot of luck, and losing ASM is a massive problem for Bruce to get round, especially if there's no incoming in January, we desperately need a couple of new players a goal scoring forward and a Bowen type in your face m/f, and also keeping Andy Carrol fit is a must,
before anyone can judge the season or the manager,
Is that you, Ketsy?


Action photography can pose a real challenge — capturing fast movement in varying light is a tricky situation even if you feel you're pretty comfortable with the camera. But Travel Club has the answer with our upcoming A Day at the Races event.
As the name suggests, this hands-on photographic workshop will be held at the horse races at Belmont Park, giving participants the opportunity to try out tips and techniques as they hear them from our professional photographers Mogens Johansen and Stephen Scourfield.
And these techniques can also be applied to many other events such as school sports days, festivals or your next family holiday.
"There is a great mix at race events — action, animals, fashion, details and human stories," Stephen explains.
We like our guests to get a lot from our West Travel Club photo training. And we like coming up with new and challenging ideas for our photo walks.
"You learn best when you are out shooting," Stephen says.
"There's no better way to improve than to have your camera in hand and someone alongside to encourage, coach and coax. Mogens and I love doing just that.
"I also really think the photo walk is good for people who have no interest in horses or horseracing.
Places are limited to assure personal attention and help.

Investing in a franchise is an important decision that requires in-depth research and reliable information. While it's not always easy to evaluate newer franchise opportunities, there are ways to get the information you need to make an educated decision on whether to move forward. Usually, the most valuable thing an entrepreneur can do is interview and visit franchisees. In the case of newer franchise opportunities, this may not be possible because there aren't many franchisees to talk to or they may not have enough experience to provide valuable information. In this case, it's important to spend productive time with the founder of the franchise.
When gathering research, be sure to determine how the founder went about franchising the business. There are two main ways to do it. Founders can hire a franchise attorney to draw up the legal documents required to turn an independent business into a franchise, or they can hire a franchise development firm to turn an independent business into a franchise. This firm can help write the operating manual, set up and create marketing and sales programs and establish a franchisee training program. Keep in mind, if the franchisor only invested in the legal part of franchising a business, it may not be enough to ensure long-term success.
Follow these steps to successfully evaluate a new franchise opportunity.
Arrange an in-depth call with the franchise founder to get a feel for how well thought out the idea is, if it's been tested and if it's proven to work.
Arrange a two- or three-day trip to the franchise headquarters for one-on-one time with the founder and the staff. Come prepared with thoughtful questions and use the opportunity to see the team in action.
Trust your gut. After determining a franchise concept's financial viability, the decision to buy in ultimately comes down to trust and feel. Do you trust the founder and the leadership team members? Does the opportunity feel right?

Bowe Bergdahl pleads guilty in desertion, misbehavior case
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by muriel_volestrangler (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Source: ABC News
Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl pleaded guilty on Monday to charges of desertion with intention to shirk duty and misbehavior before the enemy stemming from his 2009 disappearance and capture by the Taliban.
Bergdahl drew international headlines after he left his Army outpost in Afghanistan over eight years ago. He was captured and held by the Taliban for almost five years until his release was negotiated in 2014 by the Obama administration as part of a prisoner exchange. Upon his return to the United States, Bergdahl returned to duty while an investigation probed the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. He was formally charged in March 2015.
The misbehavior before the enemy charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, though sentencing won't occur until later this month. Judge Jeffrey Nance, presiding over the case, questioned Bergdahl Monday to ensure he understood the charges and consequences of pleading guilty.
In interviews with the podcast "Serial" in December 2015, Bergdahl explained that his lack of confidence in leadership at Combat Outpost Mest-Malak in Paktika Province, Afghanistan prompted his decision to embark on an 18-mile hike to a nearby base to report his concerns. He said he realized he made a mistake only 20 minutes after leaving his base.

2. I THINK the elephant in the room with regard to the Bergdahl incident is...
Bergdahl was a soldier in a combat zone who was showing signs of having mental hygiene issues or needing some help from the mental health segment of military health care. And instead of sending him to get the help he needed, his chain-of-command decided instead to keep him in his unit and "monitor" him... Subsequently, he wandered off in search of something that only he knows about and was captured by the enemy. I'm SURE he was tortured and emotionally and physically abused in some way every day that he was a POW and he has spent the last 3 or 4 years since his release dealing with his trauma...
I think this court martial was ginned up by Candidate Trump and once Trump was INSTALLED as President, the military felt they had to follow through with this court martial...

Below are just some ideas that we've used with clients in the past for creative uses of the Interactive Postcard.
Clayton State University utilized the postcard portion to outline the next steps their admitted students had to take before they stepped foot on campus in the fall.
They utilized the front part of the Interactive Postcard to have their mascot, Loch, present the keyboard stickers in a unique way to build some school pride.
Wisconsin Lutheran College sent these stickers out as a thank you to its alumni for meeting the goal of increased followers on their alumni social media platforms.
The large adhesive front allowed them to include larger keyboard stickers for the space, shift, and enter keys and also include a large sticker for the back of a laptop.
The Medical College of Wisconsin included keyboard stickers on the invitation to their annual employee recognition breakfast.
This allowed them to recognize their employees before the event even started. They supported the stickers with copy about remembering that they help change lives every day.
Treating the back of the Interactive Postcard like a normal postcard is an option as well. The College of the Holy Cross chose to do this with their thank you notes for giving to their Crusader Athletics Fund.
Leaving the back blank allows for a personal, handwritten note to be sent.

Nunzio Rotondo (11 December 1924 – 15 September 2009) was an Italian jazz trumpeter and bandleader, born in Palestrina.

Rotondo began on piano in his youth before taking up trumpet, and had already played with Louis Armstrong on that instrument by the end of the 1940s. Early in the 1950s he played with Flavio Ambrosetti, Bill Coleman, Roy Eldridge, Duke Ellington, Zoot Sims, and Toots Thielemans, and also led his own ensembles which included, among others, Gil Cuppini, Roberto Nicolosi, and Romano Mussolini. In the 1960s, Rotondo did little live performing, but played frequently on radio broadcasts with Gato Barbieri, Franco D'Andrea, Pierre Favre, and Mal Waldron. He continued working with D'Andrea through the early 1970s. He was less active in the 1980s and 1990s.

Q: Authenticating Against Multiple Okta Tenancies I have an Angular CLI app and a ASP.NET Web API back-end.  I've secured both against a private Okta tenancy (group of users) using OpenId Connect.
What I need to do now is extend the application so that it also authenticates against the company tenancy.  The company tenancy is limited by domain, so all of it's users are "someone@mycompany.com" etc.  Whereas the private tenancy can have users with any domain in their username.
Does anyone know if Okta have a product where I can authenticate against multiple sources, as though it's a single source?  Or is there another recommended way?  Sorry for the open/wide question, but I'm out of resources.

A: Okta does not have any program that recognizes the IDPs for you yet. There might be something underway. However, there is a way to achieve this.

*

*Add any IDP to Okta. This will give you and IDP Id. When the user enters their credentials. Figure out what IDP they are using and add that id when requesting a token

*Ask the user for their credentials AND their IDP and map that to appropriate call to get the token.
To get a token from Okta this is the call:
{{url}}/oauth2/v1/authorize?client_id={{client_id}}&response_type=id_token&scope=openid groups email profile&redirect_uri={{redirect_url}}&state=state&nonce=nonce
If I need to used IDP I just need to add IDP id:
{{url}}/oauth2/v1/authorize?client_id={{client_id}}&idp={{idp_id}}&response_type=id_token&scope=openid groups email profile&redirect_uri={{redirect_url}}&state=state&nonce=nonce

Q: opencv: understanding cvsetcaptureproperty function and argument I am starting to learn openCv but I have some difficulties understanding the last argument (double value) of this function
int cvSetCaptureProperty(CvCapture* capture, int property_id, double value)

I understand this is a propoerty used in c++ but how does it works in the code below ?
void onTrackSlide(int pos)
{
    cvSetCaptureProperty(cap, CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, pos);
}

it is then called in the main program like this:
cvCreateTrackbar("position", "example3", &slider, frames, onTrackSlide);

I don't understand why the pos is never filled or used in the argument of onTrackSlide function.
here is the full program:
#include<opencv\cv.h>
#include<opencv\highgui.h>
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
//#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;

int slider=0;
CvCapture* cap = NULL;

void onTrackSlide(int pos)
{

    cvSetCaptureProperty(cap, CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, pos);
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{

    cvNamedWindow("example3", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
    cap = cvCreateFileCapture(argv[1]);
    int frames = (int)cvGetCaptureProperty(cap, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT);

    if (frames != 0)
    {
        cvCreateTrackbar("position", "example3", &slider, frames, onTrackSlide);

    }

    IplImage* frame;
    while (1)

    {
        frame = cvQueryFrame(cap);
        if (!frame)break;
        cvShowImage("example3", frame);
        char c = cvWaitKey(33);
        if (c == 27)  break;

    }

    cvReleaseCapture(&cap);
    cvDestroyWindow("example3");

}

A: createTrackbar is a function of OpenCV user interface (Highgui) that accepts a callback function onChange:

C++: int createTrackbar(const string& trackbarname, const string& winname, int* value, int count, TrackbarCallback onChange=0, void* userdata=0)
C: int cvCreateTrackbar(const char* trackbar_name, const char* window_name, int* value, int count, CvTrackbarCallback on_change=NULL )

where

onChange – Pointer to the function to be called every time the slider changes position. This function should be prototyped as void Foo(int,void*); , where the first parameter is the trackbar position

You defined you callback onChange like:
void onTrackSlide(int pos)
{
    // pos is the current trackbar position
    ...
}

which is called by Highgui internal callback system. Every time you move the trackbar, the callback will be called with the new pos value.

From the comments, you defined a callback function like:
void onTrackSlide()
{
    int pos;
    cvSetCaptureProperty(cap, CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, pos);
}

and this won't work, since the variable pos will never be initialized.

You can alternatively use getTrackbarPos to get the current value of the trackbar.

A: This code reads a video file with trackbar that follow the reading process.
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/videoio/videoio_c.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;

//First we defi ne a global variable for the slider position.
int g_slider_position = 0;

/*

    cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture  (   const String &  filename    )

    Open video file or a capturing device or a IP video stream for video capturing with API Preference.
    Parameters: filename    it can be:
    1- name of video file (eg. video.avi)
    2- or image sequence (eg. img_%02d.jpg, which will read samples like img_00.jpg, img_01.jpg, img_02.jpg, ...)
    3- or URL of video stream (eg. protocol://host:port/script_name?script_params|auth)
    4- or GStreamer pipeline string in gst-launch tool format in case if GStreamer is used as backend Note that each video stream
       or IP camera feed has its own URL scheme. Please refer to the documentation of source stream to know the right URL.
*/
VideoCapture capture("../../videos/Mahrez.mp4"); //put your own video path.

Mat img;

/*
Now we defi ne a callback routine to be used when the user pokes the slider.
function to be called every time the slider changes position.This function should be prototyped as void Foo(int, void*);,
where the first parameter is the trackbar position and the second parameter is the user data.
*/
void onTrackbarSlide(int position, void* data)
{
    /*
    CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES indicates that we would like to set the read position
    in units of frames. (We can use AVI_RATIO instead of FRAMES if we want to set the position as a fraction of the overall video length).
    Finally, we pass in the new value of the position.
    */
    capture.set(CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, position);
}

int main()
{
    namedWindow("Video_Slider", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);

    /*
    cv::VideoCapture::get (int propId)  In this case, we want to find out how many frames are in the video
    so that we can calibrate the slider (in the next step).
    */
    int frames = (int) capture.get(CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT);

    if (frames != 0)
    {
        createTrackbar("Trackbar", "Video_Slider", &g_slider_position, frames, onTrackbarSlide);
    }

    while (true)
    {
        /*
        We then wait for 25 ms.* If the user hits a key, then c will be set to the ASCII value of that key;
        if not, then it will be set to –1. If the user hits the Esc key (ASCII 27), then we will exit the read loop.
        Otherwise, 25 ms will pass and we will just execute the loop again.

        We can control the speed of the video by adjusting the waitKey(25). It waits 25 ms to read the next frame.
        */
        char c = waitKey(25);
        if (c == 27) break;

        bool bSuccess = capture.read(img); // read a new frame from video
        //Breaking the while loop at the end of the video
        if (bSuccess == false) break;

        /*
         The imshow() function requires that a named window already exist(created by cvNamedWindow()).
         */
        imshow("Video_Slider", img);

        /*
        void cv::setTrackbarPos (const String & trackbarname, const String & winname, int position)
        This function sets the position of the specified trackbar in the specified window.
        */
        setTrackbarPos("Trackbar", "Video_Slider", g_slider_position);
        // Increment the slider position after reading each frame.
        g_slider_position++;

    }

    capture.release();

Bradford UK 1973 (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin TDOLZ Vol.020)
St. George's Hall, Bradford, England – January 18th, 1973
Disc 1 (76:51): Rock and Roll, Over the Hills and Far Away, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, Dancing Days, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, The Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, Dazed and Confused
Disc 2 (42:59): Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker
Led Zeppelin were originally booked to play in Bradford on January 4th, but had to push the show back two weeks because Robert Plant contracted a flu in the first week of the new year. Bradford is one of the better concerts they played in the UK. Plant's voice was close to being fully recovered, and the band displayed the improvisational flair that would come to fruition in Europe in March.
A soundboard fragment circulates with most of "Dazed And Confused," "Whole Lotta Love" and the second encore "Immigrant Song" which has been pressed many times such as on The Great Lost Live Album (Nasty Music NM-1973-01/02/03).
But the audience tape has been pressed only TDOLZ on Bradford UK 1973. One of their earlier efforts when their goal was to release every Zeppelin tape, no matter how poor, it is at best fair. It's listenable only once your ears adjust to the low fidelity. The specifics of the performance do stand out, however, and it is possible to hear how good the show is. The tape is cut in several places such as after "Since I've Been Loving You" while Plant is introducing "Dancing Days" and between other song. "Dazed And Confused" has a small cut during the violin bow interlude and the second encore "Immigrant Song" is missing, only available on the soundboard recording.
The show starts off with an aggressive "Rock And Roll" segueing into "Over The Hills And Far Away." Jimmy Page sounds a bit lost in the middle and doesn't really complete the solo.
Robert Plant apologizes for being two weeks late before before "Black Dog" and has fun poking fun at John Paul Jones before "Misty Mountain Hop." While trying to give the normal introduction, about walking through the park with a packet of cigarette papers, he gets horribly distracted. "This is a song…hang on, let me concentrate. All this flattery…you're walking through the park one day…well, John Paul Jones was walking through the park one day."
"Misty Mountain Hop" segues directly into "Since I've Been Loving You," an arrangement invented in Japan the previous October. The latter sounds especially heavy and brutal in this recording. The same is said for "The Song Remains The Same." Plant's voice sounds especially strong as he lets loose some infernal drones over Page's frenzy. "The Rain Song," except for Page loosing is place by the end, is also very nice.
"Dazed And Confused" contains some variations unique to the performance. Page's lead into the "San Francisco" interlude sounds different, and he gets into a funk groove in the start of the long improvisation. The "Mars" section before the return to the final verse is also extremely intense. The soundboard is much more clear, but the echo in the audience recording lends the air of mystery lacking in the professional recording. Bradford ranks among the best performances of the epic piece of the UK winter tour.
The long "Whole Lotta Love" medley continues the variations. While Page is spiting out his sledgehammer riffs, Plant gives a parodic nod to The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed," singing "we all need someone to cream on." During the boogie section Page spits out some nasty, hostile sounding heavy-metal riffs, and after "(Baby You're So Square) I Don't Care" Plant continues the Elvis impersonation with the beginning of "Blue Suede Shoes" ("one for the money / two for the show / three to get ready / go, cat, go / stay off of my blue suede shoes") as the rest follow along.
"I Can't Quit You" brings the medley full circular, played as sludge-laden blues dirge. Quotes from "Goign Down Slow" follow. As Plant sings the finally "woman, way down inside…" fans in the audience singing along very loudly. He encourages it for the next when he sings "…you neeeeeeed it…." It's a touching moment of audience participation.
Bradford UK 1973 is simply packaged in a single pocket cardboard sleeve made out of glossy paper. The front cover has a photograph from the film The Song Remains The Same and the back has a stage shot form the European leg of the 73 tour. If this tape sounded any better this would be an essential piece of the collection with one of Zeppelin's greatest performances. But since there are better sounding tapes from the era this is for the Zeppelin die-hard collector.
If you liked this review, buy me a cup of joe. (Suggested: $3 a shot or $7.5 for a double)

A retirement village that opened last week has already attracted interest from Armidale locals, and former residents returning home. Oak Tree Retirement Village opened its new facility at 217 Taylor Street on Saturday, and already deposits have been put on two of the 44 villas. "We've had a lot of interest from locals, and people coming back to town who've moved away and wanted to come back to Armidale," New England area manager Kate Pigram said. "People like to live where they've grown up, and often lived for a long time." Armidale Regional Council Mayor Cr Simon Murray officially opened the retirement village, cutting a red ribbon. "Any retirement village that is developed is good for the community," Cr Murray said. "It allows the people who come from Armidale or the surrounds to still live in the community where they've lived for years." READ ALSO: The village offers maintenance-free living for people over 55, in stylish, modern surroundings. It is the second Oak Tree facility in Armidale, joining the existing Martin Street village. "This is a smaller, more boutique village," Ms Pigram said, "but we're able to offer people in Armidale the whole range of facilities from a one-, two-, and a three-bedroom home, gated community, safety, security, companionship, and, best of all, no maintenance for people once they're in their retirement years." Prices start at $355,000 for a two-bedroom, one car garage house. A three-bedroom, double garage house can cost $445,000. Each house offers step free living, spacious bathrooms with walk-in shower, and quality electrical appliances to reduce the burden of home maintenance. Large north-facing windows catch plenty of light, and ducted air conditioning ensures comfort all year round. The retirement village also offers an open plan hall for functions and dining; a lounge and library; outdoor barbecue and entertainment areas; a hair dressing salon; a gym; a bowling green; and a village bus, for taking residents into town. The village is pet friendly. Display homes are open Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm. For more information, contact Kate Pigram on 0407 333 453, or visit https://www.oaktreegroup.com.au/retirement-village/new-south-wales/armidale/taylor-street.

Soak and rinse the asparagus. Cut off the tips and put aside. Boil the stalks in lightly salted water. When tender, press the stalks through a sieve and return the pulp to the cooking water. Keep hot.
Finely chop the onioin. Melt the butter in a saucepan and gently fry the onion and the asperagus tips for a few minutes. Add the rice, mixing and turning with a wooden spoon until the grains are coated in the fat.
Pour the wine over the rice, raise the heat and boil briskly until the wine has evaporated. Dilute the bouillon cube and the meat extract in the hot asperagus water. Add a little of the liquid to the rice, lower the heat, stir and add more liquid as it reduces, until the rice is al dente.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, glaze the rice with 1 tablespoon butter and add the grated cheese. Stir well and serve immediately.
