Things have spiraled out of control for the Italian tactician in London.
From hero to zero? Reports out of England suggest Monday evening's 4-1 defeat to Watford may have been Conte's last time in command of the Blues.
Bookies at various English betting sites have suspended bets on his potential firing, often indicating the sack is near.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, the under-fire gaffer did not hold back his feelings.
"We played badly, but perhaps I messed up something in the starting eleven. It's been very difficult to change things, I've had very few choices at my disposal. My position has not changes, I'm staying here and I'll continue to work hard and put all of myself in the work I do.
Chelsea has not won a Premier League match in the new year, including heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Watford in successive matches.

Startup Digest: OYO to cut 600 jobs, HealthifyMe will slash 142 jobs, HealthKart raises $135M from Temasek & Razorpay enables merchants to accept credit card payments via UPI
10 Min(s) Read
By Aishwarya Anand Dec 5, 2022 10:10:06 PM IST (Published)
Here are the top headlines from the startup space.
OYO to downsize 3,700-employee base, cut 600 jobs
IPO-bound travel tech firm OYO will downsize about 10 percent of its 3,700-employee base by cutting 600 jobs in the technology and corporate verticals and hiring 250 members, primarily in the relationship management teams.
OYO said the move is part of implementing wide-ranging changes in its organisational structure. It is downsizing its product & engineering, corporate headquarters, and OYO Vacation Homes teams, while it adds people to the partner relationship management and the business development teams.
Product and engineering teams are being merged for smoother functioning, it added. The downsizing in tech is also happening in teams which were developing pilots and proof of concepts such as in-app gaming, social content curation and patron-facilitated content, the company said.
Additionally, members of projects which have now been successfully developed and deployed such as 'Partner SaaS' are being either let go or are being redeployed in core product & tech areas such as AI (artificial intelligence) driven pricing, ordering and payments, it informed.
HealthifyMe becomes the latest startup to announce layoffs, will slash 142 jobs
Health and fitness platform HealthifyMe has become the latest startup to trim its workforce citing growth concerns.
In a statement after the layoffs, the company said, "Like much of tech - growth hasn't kept pace with expectations and hiring. We are also undergoing an evolution with our new vision around metabolic health (HealthifyMe 2.0) which requires different resources. In view of this and changing market dynamics, it made sense for us to steer towards profitability, despite a comfortable runway."
The firm has laid off 142 employees or 7 percent of its 2000+ employees. The move has impacted 79 (6 percent) employees from the operations team and 63 (23 percent) from the core team.
HealthifyMe will be offering 2 months of salary as severance and will extend medical coverage until June 2023. "As a part of our severance and support to those impacted, we will offer 2 months' salary severance with 2 weeks per year served at HealthifyMe, vested stocks till March 2023, and medical insurance continuance till June 2023, along with counseling and outplacement support", a statement read.
HealthKart raises $135M in a funding round led by Temasek
Omni-channel nutrition platform HealthKart has raised $135 million in a funding round led by Temasek, with participation from A91 Partners and Kae Capital.
The capital raised will be deployed towards the growth of in-house D2C brands, increase offline distribution, expand international operations, and make select acquisitions, the company said in a statement.

Council aims to take up GST on cryptocurrency when it meets next
The implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on cryptocurrency might see more delay, as per a report by CNBC Awaaz.
As of now, the panel of officers have not submitted their report to the government regarding the same. However, people in the know say a decision is targeted in the next meeting of the GST Council which is scheduled for December 17.
It has been a question of time when the digital asset is brought under the taxation umbrella with news of a 28 percent GST levy starting as early as May this year. Now, hopes are pinned on the last GST Council meeting of the year for this decision.
According to the sources it is likely that in the GST council meeting it will be decided whether cryptocurrency will be included in the category of 'Goods' or 'Services' or not.
GST is to likely be levied only on the margin or service fee received from crypto currency. In other words, GST will not be implemented on the total value of cryptocurrency.
CNBC Awaaz has also learnt that the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Online Gaming and Casinos has not submitted its report.
As per the information received, GST rates on online gaming, casinos and horse racing are difficult to be agreed upon in the Group of Ministers.
The GST Council Group of Ministers will also consider a reduction in rates on insurance premiums. It can be reduced from the existing 18 percent to 12 percent. This will also be the main agenda in the next meeting of the GST Council.
Govt mulls exempting early stage startups from data protection bill provisions
The government is mulling exempting early stage startups from complying with norms under proposed Digital Personal Data Protection bill, an official source told PTI.
The exemption may be for a limited period to assist startups in developing their business models and to ensure that innovation is not stifled due to compliance burden.
"Meity (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) is mulling to improve upon the bill to exempt early stage startups from the provisions of DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection) bill.
"This may be for a limited time period in cases where they may be doing some kind of data modelling etc to develop their solution," the source added.

New Zealand plans law to require Facebook, Google to pay for news
New Zealand government said it will introduce a law that will require big online digital companies such as Google and Meta Platforms to pay New Zealand media companies for the local news content that appears on their feeds, Reuters reported.
Minister of Broadcasting Willie Jackson said in a statement on Sunday that the legislation will be modelled on similar laws in Australia and Canada and he hoped it would act as an incentive for the digital platforms to reach deals with local news outlets.
"New Zealand news media, particularly small regional and community newspapers, are struggling to remain financially viable as more advertising moves online," Jackson said. "It is critical that those benefiting from their news content actually pay for it."
The new legislation will go to a vote in parliament where the governing Labour Party's majority is expected to pass it.
Apple and Amazon resume advertising on Twitter: Reports
Amazon and Apple are planning to resume advertising on Twitter, according to media reports.
The developments follow an email sent by Twitter to advertising agencies offering advertisers incentives to increase their spending on the platform, an effort to jump-start its business after Elon Musk's takeover prompted many companies to pull back.
Twitter billed the offer as the "biggest advertiser incentive ever on Twitter," according to the email reviewed by Reuters. US advertisers who book $500,000 in incremental spending will qualify to have their spending matched with a "100% value add," up to a $1 million cap, the email said.
Platformer News reporter tweeted that Amazon is planning to resume advertising on Twitter at about $100 million a year, pending some security tweaks to the company's ads platform. However, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters that Amazon had never stopped advertising on Twitter.
Separately, during a Twitter Spaces conversation, Musk announced that Apple is the largest advertiser on Twitter and has "fully resumed" advertising on the platform, according to a Bloomberg report.
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa to make 'big announcement' on space after Musk meeting
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa tweeted that he plans to make a "big announcement" related to space after a meeting with SpaceX owner Elon Musk.
Yusaku Maezawa, founder of online fashion site Zozo, completed a tourist trip to the International Space Station (ISS) on a Soyuz spacecraft in December last year and plans to journey around the moon with Musk's rocket and satellite company SpaceX in 2023.
The 47-year-old entrepreneur tweeted that he had held an online meeting with Musk and "can now make a big announcement about space on December 9". The space enthusiast will likely become the first private passenger on a SpaceX moon mission with a week-long fly-by planned for 2023, as commercial firms including Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin usher in a new age of space travel for wealthy clients.

Finn Harps supporters will say farewell to one of the club's veterans this Friday night.
Harps play Limerick in another important SSE Airtricity Premier Division fixture - and it will be the last home game for midfielder Michael Funston, who this week announced his departure from the club.
The Letterkenny man will finish up with Harps after their game at Sligo Rovers on June 2nd, the last fixture before the mid-season break.
Funston, who has played over 330 games for Harps, has been a firm favourite of the Harps faithful, such has been his contribution to the club since making his debut back in 2004. He will be remembered fondly for some gritty performances and crucial goals in the play-off wins over Waterford United (2007) and Limerick (2015).
Speaking to the Democrat yesterday, Funston said he had made his mind up to leave a few weeks ago.
"It's something I've thought about for a while," he said.
Funston took to social media on Tuesday night to reveal that the Sligo match next Friday night, will be his last.
"After 12 years, 300 odd games, I've had some great memories. I would like to thank the club for giving me the opportunity of representing them for the past 12 years," Funston said.
Funston's departure is an obvious blow to Ollie Horgan and a Harps team who face another important fixture on Friday night.
Speaking after the win over St. Patrick's Athletic, the Harps manager was ironically, upbeat about the prospects of having more players available again after the recent injury problems.
He also confirmed that both Ciaran O'Connor and Killian Cantwell will return from suspension after missing Monday night's game.
"There's one or two who won't be back because of injury,"Horgan said.
"But at least we will have something to work with. I'm not saying we hadn't anything to work with over the past couple of weeks, but it was limited.
Horgan was in Dalymount Park on Tuesday night to watch Limerick's 2-1 victory over Bohemians.
It was the Munster club's first win since the appointment of Neil McDonald as manager and the win lifted them up to sixth in the Premier Division.
It remains very tight towards the bottom with only two points separating the bottom six and Harps are one of four clubs sitting joint bottom on 14.

NEW MACROSS TV SERIES ANNOUNCED!
By Tochiro,
March 26, 2014 in Movies and TV Series
jvmacross
Actually, it seems to me that Bandai is sort of playing catch-up.
Bandai wanted NOTHING to do with Macross for the longest time, and even when the Deculture edition was still in production (and I think maybe even after it aired in December 2007) I believe Bandai was not yet on board. It was not until after the Deculture episode proved the potential of the show that Bandai came around. Why else would Bandai have put their B-team (Boys' Hobby Division) on the first VF-25 Chogokin design, which ended up being total garbage, instead of the A-team (Collectors Division), as they have done for these new products that are ONLY NOW coming out five years after the show ended.
Bandai had ZERO to do with Macross Zero (aptly, haha), and whenever Yamato brought out a new VF-1, Bandai woke up from its slumber and churned out reissue after reissue of the 1/55s. They still have not made a full Chogokin of the Aquarion Evol figure.
Bandai has had decades of not giving a crap about Macross and until very recently its releases tended to be reactionary, to capitalize on a market made lucrative by competitors.
So I guess someone out there is buying enough transforming Macross mecha to force Bandai to give a "crap"....which is why that "pillar" of Macross is staying put no matter how many units of CDs outsell units of toys....
It costs a lot of money to design and produce a transforming robot toy which is not true of a fixed posed figure. It is why there are at least ten times the number of Sheryl and Ranka figures when compared to the Valkyries which at best are at four unique molds for Frontier stuff. You see it with the YF-29 and how they are trying to release more variants so they can recoup their initial investment in creating all the tooling so they produce them in low numbers just enough to turn a profit.
Yes, of course they are more expensive...but as I pointed out...when a show sponsor like Bandai holds exclusive rights....with no one able to compete with them (currently and specifically to the argument: the MF PT VF license)...they would be foolish not to exploit the demand...
But read Renato's post....it basically supports what I have been saying all along....the market for transforming Macross toys is not dead....Bandai realized it late....but they realized it nonetheless....so let's stop the illusion that any Macross TV show will ever not include all three pillars of Macross...especially transforming mecha...and especially now that we are seeing Bandai the giant awaken from such a long slumber and is now producing quality Macross toys that fans seem to actually want and purchase....don't think Bandai will want to stop that source of revenue and will certainly want to continue it on the coming new Macross TV show....
VF5SS
I think any mecha merchandise will be in a noticeably reduced capacity.
Well, considering that Bandai will most likely have the monopoly on the production of such merchandise for the next TV series, it's not hard to imagine that they will produce as many or as little as they see fit.......judging by their late entry/realization of demand for PT VFs, for a 7 year old show they hold sole license for, I think it's obvious they now know the demand for Macross transforming toys did not completely disappear and they'll probably be much quicker about releasing PT VFs for the new show....in whatever amounts they think the market can handle.....

An MC that has potential, cool looking valks, and a decent plot and I'm in.

That first one is what sinks most anime for me, and is a big part of why Plus and SDFM are my favorites.
MC? Main Character? All I can think of is Master of Ceremonies which I'm sure is not it...

I just realised Macross 7 and Plus were released in the 10th anniversary of DYRL. Maybe the upcoming TV Series will begin sooner than I predicted... perhaps even next year?! (with the premier shown at the end of this year) to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of DYRL?
Since we are talking DYRL... What if the new series is going to be Macross: Megaroad?
Zinjo
Location:Flying my invisible SV-52!!
I didn't insinuate it. If you inferred it, then you were mistaken. What I am saying is that, based on Frontier's success, music is most likely going to be THE major focus of any new show. Valks are nowhere near as important to most Frontier fans in Japan.
So long as they've learned their lesson from M7 that regurgitating the same one of few songs over and over again does not constitute a soundtrack!
Further to Gubaba's point, any TV series is a major financial investment and no business school graduate has the stones to change the "Macross Formula" on such an expensive endeavor. The three pillar TV formula will remain until Macross is no more...

I agree the 3 pillars will be there but they can change the ratio if them laying more emphasis in one or two pillars.
Personally they can have less music, valks and more character story.

In saying that each Macross story is a parallel universe that would mean that each story had to have happened before each series but in some alternate way?
Like its obvious that each Valk is a step up from the previous Valks or a upgraded variant,so each series would have to be connected to the story of the preivous series in some way or the other, If you get my meaning. So I suppose the 'Everything is canon,Nothing is canon' is semi true.
Sothe new series (if not a reboot of SDF) would have to follow on from MF,unless its telling a spin off story. The MF series we know though could be altered for the new series,or not. But the Valk would be the next model after the VF25.
TL;DR is Valk progression the staple that connects the series together from one to the other?

I just wanted to preface this by saying that I am not trying to pick on you or anything, but I wanted to throw my two cents in with my thoughts on the new show with regards to these three-pillar remarks people are throwing around. Then there's that Macross II comment...
Other than the parallel universe aspect that's pretty much what Frontier was. There's enough fluidity with Macross history that each series builds on old elements in different ways and has a unique feel.
I think what you guys really want is just a way to have your macross cake and eat it too. Like somehow putting the shows in the same universe makes you automatically compare them in rather unfair ways. A new universe could be as easily disappointing as Macross II was but I guess having to only judge it against itself would help mitigate the letdown?
To me it seems like maybe you could should just check out some of dozens of other mecha shows both past and present if Macross isn't doing it for you.
Well when you say "other larger mecha franchises" you basically mean Gundam because very little else even compares to that beast and fewer series even get a single sequel let alone the many Macross has gotten.
Also not to pick on Mr. March but,
This really sounds like you want a sequel to the original Macross that is not the ones you dislike. I mean there already was a sequel to the original Macross that wasn't in II's universe and that was Macross 7. I know you didn't like it but I'm sorry to say it is a big part of what shaped Macross what it is today. Frankly the worship for the original series is getting almost fetishistic and does not line up with what is actually going on with the desires of the Japanese fan base so expecting something else is just setting yourself up for disappointment.
If it weren't for SDF Macross none of us would be here right now. Be it new fans to the series, or whatever the Japanese fan base now seems to desire as you suggest, it's not unreasonable to want something that is rooted in the original. Otherwise you might as well call the show something other than Macross. A new alternate universe could be just what we need, whether it is a success or a disappointment is all a matter of opinion.
As for Macross II, calling it a disappointment is, again, all a matter of opinion – there are many of us who adore the show.
Edited June 15, 2014 by Oihan
A beginning is often just that: a beginning. Macross isn't like Gundam where trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle of the original required extreme fidelity like Gundam the Origin or outright rehashing like Gundam SEED. The fact that Macross hasn't done that in an animated production and has found much more (financial) success doing what it's been doing for decades now and at this point in time is popular because of stuff like Frontier makes me think they are not going to return to an SDF Macross style show. They will pay respect to SDF Macross just as every new series in the franchise has done, but Kawamori is clearly not tied down to the original in a strict sense.
It was enough of a disappointment for Big West.
Vifam7
From what I've heard, Macross II OAVs sold very well. BW was probably quite happy with the profits.
Edited June 15, 2014 by Vifam7
We need more facts on that other than the wikipedia entry, which only says the first two volumes sold well in America. Antibiotictab mentioned on the Macross Speakerpodcast that no one in Japan was really paying attention to it at the time.

For me I think it would be nice to see a series of smaller scale like Macross Plus. I think that it has more general audience appeal and the scaled down nature of a smaller story would lend to better production value overall. And for Pete's sake bring back Shinichiro Watanabe.
- Nghia
The Japanese wiki page does mentions its sales success a bit (the Japanese releases that is).
初代スタッフの板野一郎は「『マクロスII』というのがなかったら、僕は『MACROSS PLUS』はやらなかったと思いますよ。『マクロスII』が、僕達の思ってた『マクロス』と繋がっていなかったもので」と述べている[2]ただし、セールスは満足な結果を残しており、大畑によれば「予想を上回るビデオの売上げにスポンサーの方からは『マクロスIII』の話さえ出た」という[3.
Trans. : Original staff member Ichiro Itano said "If it was not for Macross II, I would not have done Macross Plus. Macross II did not make links to what we thought was Macross. However, sales [of Macross II] left a satisfactory result, according to Ohata "Sales surpassed predictions and the sponsors even talked about a Macross III"
The quote by Kouichi Ohata references Figure Oh Issue #43.
The above quote does kinda make sense. I mean if Macross II bombed then I would imagine that it'd be difficult for the Macross Plus OVA series (which came very shortly afterwards) to get sponsorship funding.
But I've always thought Macross II sold quite well (at least in Japan). Over here in the states, I could understand the quick poor reception due the truly horrid dub and "movie" version hack job.

The movie version only clipped the openings & endings between eps.

And it's still free, and legal, to watch on YouTube through Manga Entertainment depending where you live. Don't know if that's a good sign of how popular it was in the U.S., as they're also offering other stuff for free as well, like the first Dead Space movie.
TheLoneWolf
Thanks for the translation, that's very interesting. I had always thought that Macross II's Japanese sales figures were mediocre at best, which would've explained the tremendous drop in animation quality for episode 6, and the unfortunate fact that only 1 plastic model kit was ever released for the show (although I do realize that several garage kits were released for it). That, combined with the series' expulsion from the canon timeline in 1994, indicated to me that Macross II didn't meet its sales projections. I guess truth truly is stranger than fiction.
chyll2
is there any update on this? tbh, i would want to see a series using the valks between VF1 and VF 17.
OAVs (direct to video animation releases) generally do not get much merchandising support. Gundam 0083 which came around the sametime as Macross II was a huge success, yet all it got (IIRC) was five 1/144 scale kits. OAVs basically depend on the sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs (or VHS tapes and laserdiscs back in the day).
To my knowledge, the reason why Macross II was cast off from the canon timeline was because when Kawamori came back to do Macross, he didn't want to work within the constraints of the post-DYRL canonity that Macross II and various PC98/PC Engine games had somewhat established. Keeping in mind that until Macross Plus/7 arrived, the DYRL timeline was considered to be the canon timeline.
I understand that OAV's generally receive no model/toy merchandising. But since Macross II was probably the most anticipated OAV of 1992, I just figured that it would've been the exception to the norm. Just curious, but do you know if there's any mention as to how the transformable VF-2SS model kit sold?
I compeltely agree that Macross II's removal from the main canon had more to do with Kawamori's prerogatives than its sales figures. But around that time period, it was easy for me to jump to the wrong conclusion.
In retrospect, episode 6's dismal animation was probably due to the animators simply falling behind schedule, rather than being indicative of financial problems.

This is the real problem with any sequel, not just Macross. Once the first Macross was released, the world is forever and unavoidably in a post-Macross existence. It can't be taken back. As such, no audience will find a sequel as enjoyable or fresh as they did before the original was released. So each sequel will be plauged by ever diminishing returns. As creators the writers try to find ways to make sequels different than the original specifically because more of the same is a downward spiral where familiarity breeds contempt. In the case of Macross, you also have one guy creating the franchise and there is his interest/motivation to take into account, which is obviously a big deal for Kawamori (as it should be for any writer interested in maintaining creativity). So I really like the idea of Macross playing broadly with the formula, even when it fails. Personally, I'd rather suffer an interesting failure than endure mediocrity.
Looking forward to where they'll take the series in terms of the antagonist....so far we've had alien aggressors, space whale poachers, maniacal humans and their out of control AI, mankind, the anti-UN, Supervision Army, Protoculture-created bio-weapons, and maniacal cyborgs and their manipulated bio-weapon-equipped-time-space-fold-networking space insects (or something like that!)......
Watched Macross Zero recently...and the premise of the Bird Human reminded me of the movie Prometheus....wonder if there are other "Bird "humans" out there on other planets....like Zola...ready to wipe them out if they get too close to bringing war-like ways to the universe....then again, are the Zolans yet another creation of the Protoculture?...I thought I read somewhere that they were...but not 100% sure....

Question. Is the series or movie version of Frontier considered cannon? Just popped into my head that if the new series followed the movie (asuming that its a sequel without a huge time skip again) then Isamu is still around

That's one of the biggest problems with the Frontier movies. I liked them, but things ended up SO different from the series. At least SDFM & DYRL killed off the same people, but in different ways.

2021 MVHS graduates persevere
Photos by Brian Williams The Monte Vista High School in-person graduation was held Saturday, May 15, at the Harvey Sullivan Sports Complex. Student speakers talked about how the COVID-19 impacted their junior and senior years and thanked the myriad of people that helped them get through it.

In-person graduation held Saturday at Harvey Sullivan Sports Complex
MONTE VISTA — Get ready, world, because the Monte Vista High School Class of 2021 is coming for you.
The 62 Monte Vista High School graduates, all wearing face masks, for the Class of 2021 crossed the stage at Harvey Sullivan Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon, May 15, in front of friends, family and loved ones, cheering from the bleachers.
"We are free now," said Omar Aguilera. "The world is ours and we have the power to change it, our parties tonight may even shift its axis a little, you have been warned! Go, Pirates!"
Senior Class President Caleb Riggenbach delivered the first of the class speeches.
"How am I supposed to summarize four long and confusing years of our lives in a short 700 words," he said. "I know many of my classmates are ready to move on and want this speech to be over, but I don't. My brain goes to the memories I cherish. The good, the band and all the memories we have made together."
The COVID-19 pandemic caused schools across the country to close early in the spring of 2020 over virus concerns. Even as the school year started in the fall, COVID-19 was still a big presence as students returned to the classroom.
Madison Edmonds, another class speaker, noted the challenges the members of her class faced together.
"As I stand here today looking back on the 12-plus years we have spent together as a class I am humbled," she said. "We have overcome many things together, including the clowns of 2016 and the COVID-19 pandemic that rocked our world. We managed to adapt to online classes and social distancing and hybrid classes. We managed to persevere and make it to this day, together as a class."
Student speaker Jimena Natasha Lopez likened high school to riding a rollercoaster.
"We had our ups and downs, our twists and turns," said Lopez, "but Class of 2021 I want to thank you guys for waiting in line and getting on with me. It's been a great ride and now it's finally coming to a stop. Even though I'm scared of heights, it's one rollercoaster that I don't want to get off."
Riggenbach noted that despite COVID-19, the Monte Vista senior class was able to make the best of their final year of high school.
"We lost part of our junior year and most of our senior year to a situation out of our control," Riggenbach said. "A part of us was missing. There was sadness in all of us, yet we smiled, telling ourselves that none of it mattered and despite it all, we are ready to go out in the world."
Each student speaker thanked family, friends and staff. During the ceremony, each of the graduates went up into the bleachers and gave roses to the people that impacted their lives.
Monte Vista High School Principal Jose Ortega emceed the graduation ceremony.
The Melinda Pinkerton Inspiration Award was presented by her sister Megan Slifer to Claudia Velasquez-Hamilton.
Students graduating with honors included: Omar Aguilera, James Lamar Bell, Kaitlynn Ann Chavez, Braxton Wyatt Fringer, Cobi Thane Garcia, Matyson Raye Jones, Arthur Michael Lopez, Diego Samuel Milian, James Payton Oberrick, Aleena Irene Ortega, Tyrese Knoa Ortero, Amada Marie Quintana, Leon Andrew Romero, Alyssia Le Soto, Nicholas Raymond Torrez, and Adrian Joshua Vargas.
Students graduating with high honors included: Blaine Solomon Gillespie, Benjamin George Michel, Damian Isaac Moreno, Riggenbach, Andres Villa and Kylee Jamie Wilson.
Students graduating with the highest honors included: Trent David Anderson, Jenna Jade Barnett, Edmonds, Moses Ernesto Martinez, Sara Dunkin Nehring, and Evan Tyler Clarence Stults.
These new 62 high school graduates now head out into the world — some to college, some to the military and some into the workforce.
"Our options are endless, and our futures are in our own hands," Edmonds said. "Our decisions from this day on will define who we are for the rest of our lives. Lives that I am sure will be full of lots of love and laughter and growth."

John Darnielle at Maximum Ames Music Festival.
"This may go on a minute…" John Darnielle.
At the first 80/35 in 2008, The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne expressed a desire to return in the festival's fifth year. Obviously it didn't happen, but The Maximum Ames Music Festival managed to pull off something similar in its fifth year, getting The Mountain Goats to make a return visit following his headlong the inaugural fest in 2011.
Saturday night's concert was an entirely different experience than John Darnielle's 2011 concert (though both were solo versions of the Goats). In the first year, Darnielle was performing at DG's Tap House, a space that provides great energy for concerts, while 2015's show was at First United Methodist Church. The experience at the latter is somewhere between a theater and a listening room show.
There were no loud bar conversations or general milling about this time around. The crowd sat in rapt attention during Darnielle's set, with the singer-songwriter reflecting on how his quieter songs work well in churches, but his louder songs, where at times it feels like he's shouting at the audience, work better in bars where he feels "in the same yelling and screaming vortex" with the crowd.
Darnielle entered the stages sitting at a grand piano and starting the show with "This Is My Father's World," a Christian hymn that felt fitting for the setting. From there he moved to the acoustic guitar and related that he had visited his former home in nearby Colo earlier in the day. There he had discovered the house had been torn down for being a fir hazard. He shared that he had written "There Will Be No Divorce" there before playing the song. It was cool the find out Iowa's connection to the song, one of several Iowa origin stories he trotted out over the course of the night.
Iowa and wrestling were the themes of the night. The latter largely due to the wrestling-themed 2015 album "Beat The Champ." But, of course, Darnielle's songs are never as simple at they might appear on first listen. Before "Animal Mask" he related his distaste for songs about fatherhood, and the conflicts that created when he became a father. In the same lead-in he defined the concept of a Battle Royale in wrestling.
Darnielle went from that loud song to a near whisper on the next, "Wild Sage." On some of the quieter songs, the crowd seemed to almost hold its breath to avoid missing out on a word.
Darnielle closed out the main set with what I believe was a version of "Song of The Three Children," saying it was his first time performing it outside his house. He also mentioned that he had missed his calling as a youth minister.
I love that Maximum Ames has given me two entirely different opportunities to see one of my favorite artists. The festival isn't as big and ambitious as its older sibling, Mission Creek in Iowa City, but every year it brings a variety of familiar faces, new acts and unbelievable gets to downtown Ames.
I hope Max Ames brings John back for year 10 as well.

We started the day dark and early. It was 3:45a.m. when we pulled the kids out of bed and got in the van. We drove across town to David's and they followed us to Milwaukee's airport. Neither of the kids fell asleep in the car. We waited to check in while Derek and David went to park and then it was your typical security check. Ugh! Last summer I lost my swiss army knife key chain when we went to the Statue of Liberty and Mom got me a new one for Christmas. Well, guess what…yep, I lost it. So bummed. I love that thing. Mom asked, "Do I have to get you one every year for Christmas?" I think my answer was, "Yes." The next thing I lost was a jar of peanut butter. Apparently I have been missing something about pb. I didn't know it was a drink. Yes, apparently it is a liquid and therefore larger than the 3.4oz (or whatever) size allowed in a carry on. Huh? I asked the lady if she was serious. I think her answer was, "Yes." By the time we got to the gate, we didn't have too long to wait until boarding. We did preboarding with young children only to find out that our seats were not where they were supposed to be when we selected them online. The nice stewardess lady, Pat, from Midwest/Frontier airlines was less than polite to Beth when we were trying to figure out our seats and they demanded that we were going to pull out on time and blah blah blah. Well, after everyone boarded, there was more than 1 announcement to try to get people to leave the plane since the company had overbooked. We sat there for 1 hour…yes, literally an hour while they tried to figure it all out. Abby and Cade both fell asleep on the plane, but not at the same time, so I had to stay awake. Derek was across the aisle in the middle seat, so I was on my own. We arrived in Orlando a little behind schedule, gathered our bags, and made our way to ground transportation, only to find out that Disney ground transportation leaves from somewhere else. We went back in the airport, up to the 3rd floor, across the airport, back down to the first floor, and into a line. Then we found out that we didn't have a barcode paper for the bus. Why didn't Disney send it? Into another line for Dad while the rest of us stepped aside (McDonald's syle). We finally got what we needed, got on the bus, and got on our way. The Wilderness Lodge would be home for the next 7 nights. We got checked in and it was beautiful. Well, the lobby and David's room were, anyway, since Dad's and our room weren't ready yet. Check in wasn't until 3 and it was only about 1:45 or so, so no big deal. We got a call that Mom and Dad's room was ready. Then we went down for Magic Cookie hour at Roaring Forks. Magic Cookie=free sugar cookies with a dish of frosting and sprinkles to decorate with. We still didn't have our room and it was getting close to time to leave for our dinner reservation. We dug through some bags and got what we needed. We left Wilderness around 3:45, took a boat to the Contemporary Hotel, and then the monorail to The Grand Floridian. Our dinner was at 1900 Park Fare. We were joined by Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, and the ugly step sisters. The step sisters were hilarious. They really played up the part and were entertaining. It was all a bit rushed and I felt like I had to hurry with each character. It wasn't because of anything they did, but just being our first character meal, I didn't really know to just slow down and enjoy. It was a little difficult to feel like we could just sit and relax while eating though. It was a lot of up and down and pictures and signing of books, etc.
After dinner, we headed to The Magic Kingdom. It is amazing. Just walking down Main Street with Cinderella's Castle in front of us…it is magical. Cade was so impressed that he fell asleep. It made it a little difficult to coordinate rides and such. Derek sat out of a few but we just couldn't see waking him up or trying to hold him while standing in line. After a few rides, Mom, Dad, Derek, the kids and I decided to call it a night. On our way out, Abby just had to have a balloon. I knew it wouldn't be cheap, but when the lady said $15, I almost choked. It was pretty special, though. It had a Mickey Mouse shaped balloon inside a round balloon and it flashed with red, green, and blue lights. We took the boat back to the hotel and slept.

'Consent condom' requires four hands to open package
by Bryan Clark — in Code Word
For the ongoing series, Code Word, we're exploring if — and how — technology can protect individuals against sexual assault and harassment, and how it can help and support survivors.
94 percent of women who are raped experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. One in three will contemplate suicide. And while a condom isn't going to stop rape, it's a damn good place to start.
Tulipán, an Argentine sex toy retailer, has created the world's first "consent condom," a condom encased in packaging requiring four hands to open. The unique design requires two parties to simultaneously press special points on the side of the packet to access its contents.
"Tulipán has always spoken of safe pleasure but for this campaign we understood that we had to talk about the most important thing in every sexual relationship — pleasure is possible only if you both give your consent," said Joaquin Campins of BBDO, the ad agency responsible for marketing the condom. "If it's not a yes, it's a no," he adds.
Este pack es tan simple de abrir como entender que si no te dice que sí, es no. #PlacerConsentido pic.twitter.com/KHWyoFmg7L
— Tulipán Argentina (@TulipanARG) April 3, 2019
The company so far has been handing out the limited-edition condoms at bars and events in Buenos Aires. So far, they've been free, and met with praise from those who've received them. Tulipán says it plans to sell the condoms at a later date.
Tulipán's "consent pack" was born after AHF Argentina, an organization campaigning for the rights of those living with HIV, revealed that only 14.5 percent of Argentinian men regularly used a condom. 65 percent said they occasionally used condoms, and a shocking 20.5 percent said they'd never used a condom.
The consent pack isn't alone in the condom tech space, either. Last year we reported on a self-lubricating condom that can withstand more than 1,000 thrusts.
In 2016 we helped introduce the world to Lelo Hex, a condom with a honeycomb shape that's designed to continue providing some protection when broken. Granted, there's also an argument to be made that continuing to use a condom you can't tell is broken — typical condoms tend to shred, when broken; you can't mistake it for a functional contraceptive.
Perhaps the coolest condom tech in recent years came from a group of teens at the Isaac Newton Academy in London. Daanyaal Ali, Chirag Shah, and Muaz Nawaz took home an award at the TeenTech Awards for their invention, S.T.EYE — a play on STI — a condom that changes colors when introduced with STI pathogens found in chlamydia, herpes, HPV, and syphilis.

WOW I was pleasantly surprised. These two ladies write so well together you will never realize that there is two voices writing. It was as if they were in sync which made for a fun and interesting read. I loved the characters as they are so multifaceted and real to life. Even the secondary characters jumped off the page. The undeniable attraction between Nina and Drew was so hot. The banter was LOL as I did this often throughout the whole book. Nina is a very strong and independant woman so when Drew enters her life due to circumstances that were not favorable the tension between the two is so thick at times you could cut it with a knife. Nina was not used to having someone tell her what to do and that did not go over well.
Drew had a future he was planning trying to rise to the top of the MMA Charts and School was not expecting to fall for the spitfire that Nina was but fall is what happened she entered his world and turned it upside down.
The world created was so vivid and description the characters were so well developed it was as though they were real to life flaws and all. I am looking forward to the next installment in the Tap Zone Series.

Departments are to submit potential items for inclusion in the Bill (as approved by the portfolio Minister) to the Ministry of Justice by 29 July (see paragraphs 8 to 13 for the steps to be followed).
Departments are to send drafting instructions to the Parliamentary Counsel Office by 31 August (see paragraph 16).
2 Statutes Amendment Bills are designed as vehicles for technical, short, and non-controversial amendments to a range of Acts [refer paragraph 7.64 of the Cabinet Manual] Amendments proposed for inclusion in a Statutes Amendment Bill should meet all three of these criteria.
"non-controversial", although a subjective test, should be interpreted with awareness of relevant history or implications An amendment that has previously failed in Parliament, or is anticipated to generate debate or controversy with stakeholders or the wider community, is unlikely to be "non-controversial".
3 It is important that all elements of the Bill are appropriate for inclusion in this type of Bill and that they have been the subject of prior consultation with all parties in the House If any Member of Parliament objects to a clause of a Statutes Amendment Bill during its consideration by the committee of the whole House, it will be struck out of the Bill [Standing Order 301(2)] The aim is to avoid this by engaging in full, cross-party consultation before including clauses in the Bill.
4 The Statutes Amendment Bill will comprise items approved by any Minister (or identified by Cabinet) which involve technical, short and non-controversial amendments to Acts relevant to the Minister's portfolio area For proposals to come within the scope of a Statutes Amendment Bill they must consist entirely of amendments to an Act or the repeal (without replacement) of an existing Act Consequential amendments, consequential repeals, application provisions, and savings and transitional provisions are permissible Stand-alone provisions, including the creation of a new principal Act, are normally ruled out Amendments that the portfolio Minister considers require policy consideration by a Cabinet committee or by Cabinet will almost certainly be unsuitable, as will those requiring in-depth discussion by party caucuses.
5 A finite allocation of drafting time has been made for the preparation of the Bill and for its support through the House The deadlines outlined in paragraph 1 must be met to ensure proposed amendments can be included in the Bill Proposed amendments not meeting the deadlines may be submitted for inclusion in any later Statutes Amendment Bill.
6 Individual departments are responsible for identifying and developing amendments to Acts they administer Portfolio Ministers will approve potential amendments within their portfolio areas and undertake any necessary consultation with their own party caucus.
7 The Associate Minister of Justice (Hon Simon Bridges) is the Minister in charge of the Bill and will co-ordinate the inclusion of items in the Bill and the cross-party consultation process The Ministry of Justice will co-ordinate the administrative aspects of the development of the Bill Departments should liaise with the Ministry of Justice co-ordinator in the first instance (Nick Kokay, Policy Advisor, Ministry of Justice, ph 494 9810; email nick.kokay@justice.govt.nz).
8 The first step is for a department to identify amendments that it considers appropriate for inclusion in the Bill and clear these as appropriate with other departments with a direct interest Departments must be satisfied that proposed amendments are technical, short and non-controversial and otherwise consistent with the content requirements described in paragraphs 2 to 4 In identifying potential amendments, departments should consult their legal departments.
9 Departments may, at an early point in the process, like to contact the appropriate drafting team leader in the Parliamentary Counsel Office to discuss whether potential amendments for inclusion in the Bill are suitable.
10.2an attachment on Ministerial portfolio letterhead clearly citing in full the sections of the principal Act proposed to be amended, and providing information on the proposed amendment and the reasons for it This attachment should provide contact details for a private secretary in the portfolio Minister's office who will be the contact person for all parliamentary parties This contact person must be able to respond to queries on the substance of the proposed item.
11The attachment referred to in paragraph 10.2 is designed to go under a covering letter from the Minister in charge of the Bill to the leader of each parliamentary party seeking support for all the proposed amendments.
12The portfolio Minister will need to undertake consultation with his or her own party caucus, as necessary, in the normal way.
13The third step is for departments to provide all relevant briefing material and correspondence, once approved and signed by the portfolio Minister, to the Ministry of Justice by 29 July (Nick Kokay, see contact details in paragraph 7) The Ministry of Justice will brief the Minister in charge of the Bill on all proposals tendered by portfolio Ministers, on an aggregated basis.
14The cross-party support process is co-ordinated through the Minister in charge of the Bill The fourth step is for the Minister in charge of the Bill to send a letter to each parliamentary party seeking its support for the proposed amendments. Letters will be sent to parliamentary parties by 18 August to be returned to the Minister in charge of the Bill by 15 September.
15Each letter will be accompanied by a set of attachments from the portfolio Ministers setting out the details of the proposed amendments. The recipients of the letters will be asked to direct queries on the substance of the proposed amendments to the office of the relevant portfolio Minister, and to finally respond to the Minister in charge of the Bill indicating their support or otherwise for the amendments.
16The Ministry of Justice will notify departments and the Parliamentary Counsel Office of the outcome of the consultation process.
17The fifth step is for the department to send drafting instructions to the Parliamentary Counsel Office drafting team leader responsible for the department's drafting by 31 August [refer to paragraphs 7.46 and 7.49 of the Cabinet Manual which relate to the role of the drafter and drafting instructions].
18The sixth step is for the Parliamentary Counsel Office to draft the Bill. The Parliamentary Counsel Office will not begin drafting any amendment until confirmation of support from all parties has been obtained. To ensure the Bill is drafted for introduction and able to be passed in 2017, confirmation needs to be received by 22 September.
19Parts of the Bill, when drafted and settled with instructing departments, are sent by Parliamentary Counsel to the Ministry of Justice, which will organise for the proposals to be vetted for consistency with the provisions of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
20The intention is to finalise the Statutes Amendment Bill for introduction in March 2017.
21It is proposed that a similar timetable be followed for a Statutes Amendment Bill in 2017 and future years.


Introduction to modern-day networked technologies such as wireless, social, and economic networks. Analysis of networked technologies using analytical and engineering techniques such as optimization, game/auction theory, graph analysis, and learning as applied to networked technologies. Introduction to the basics of these techniques and their applications in networked systems. Development of a network science for solving practical problems pertaining to various networked systems such as smartphones, Wiki, Facebook, recommendation systems, economic network, or online video/music streaming software. Pre: 2704 (C- or better) (3H, 3C).
The past decade witnessed major breakthroughs in communications and networking technologies that include the rise of smartphones, social networking websites, and other online tools such as YouTube, NetFlix, or Wikipedia. While our undergraduate students have been keeping up with these technologies and interacting with them almost daily, our curriculum has yet to incorporate the mathematical machinery that allows such technologies to operate. This machinery is essentially a mix of various disciplines that include networking, optimization theory, operations research, and economics. Analyzing and understanding networks is simply no longer possible without resorting to such techniques. Therefore, the primary goal of this course is to introduce these analytical techniques while taking an application oriented view. In particular, we will pose several questions on the technologies that surround our students (e.g., how to influence people on social networks, how does a smartphone work, how do wireless data plans get designed), and, while answering those questions, we will provide a thorough introduction to the underlying engineering and analytical principles. This course will be very valuable to provide our undergraduate students with a truly hands-on, minds-on approach to understanding networking technologies as it continues to proliferate in our daily lives. In particular, it will allow them to clearly link theory and practice in the area of networked systems.
1.	Define core concepts and fundamental methodologies relevant to communications, the Internet, social networks, recommendation systems, and wireless networks.
2.	Formulate and solve practical networking problems using analytical tools and frameworks such as optimization, graph theory, network economics, and learning algorithms.
3.	Develop inference and probability techniques to analyze engineering problems such as network recommendation systems.
4.	Develop algorithms and techniques, such as distributed power control, Pagerank, and network utility maximization, for analyzing and optimizing Internet, social, and wireless networks.
5.	Describe the connection between theoretical communications and networking concepts and existing online technologies, such as Google or Facebook.
