Leach has plenty of Mississippi players now
by Rick Cleveland January 9, 2020 November 24, 2020
Be the first to know about Mississippi news:
Gov. Tate Reeves extends mask mandate for most of Mississippi
Mike Leach, co-creator of the Air Raid offense that has revolutionized football, will leave Washington State and become Mississippi State's 34th head football coach.
Last time I talked to Mike Leach was in October of 2018. Gardner Minshew, his Washington State quarterback from Brandon, a graduate transfer, was leading the nation in passing. I called Leach to talk to him for a column on Minshew.
Back then, Leach confirmed his recruiting pitch to Minshew, which was essentially, "Gardner, why don't you come out here to Washington State and lead the nation in passing?" Leach listed all the attributes that made Minshew such a successful quarterback, including intellect, willingness to work and toughness. When we finished talking about Minshew, Leach offered, unsolicited, that he planned to recruit "more Mississippi kids who care about football and don't mind hard work."
Fifteen months later, boy, does Leach have his chance to do just that.
Thursday came the news that Leach, co-creator of the Air Raid offense that has revolutionized football, is to become Mississippi State's 34th head football coach, replacing recently fired Joe Moorhead. Leach has been selected college football's national coach of the year twice, once at Texas Tech and again at Washington State. His career also has included no small amount of controversy, such as when he was fired at Texas Tech essentially over his treatment of a player, and at Washington State where this past season he called his players "fat, dumb, happy and entitled."
Clearly, State athletic director John Cohen and president Mark Keenum weighed the past controversy against Leach's record (139 victories and 16 bowl games in 18 seasons), and opted for the record of consistent success.

Say what you want to, Mississippi football over the past few weeks has suddenly become much more interesting. Since State's controversial victory in the Egg Bowl, both the Ole Miss and State jobs have changed hands. At Ole Miss, you've got Lane Kiffin and at State you've got Leach. Neither is a stranger to winning football games or creating controversy.
For those keeping score, Leach already has won the first game between the two. On Sept. 13, 2013, Leach-coached Washington State defeaded Kiffin-coached Southern Cal 10-7. Kiffin was fired three weeks later. (Yes, and Ed Orgeron took over for Kiffin. Now, Orgeron, Kiffin and Leach all coach in the same division of the same conference. College football sometimes works in mysterious ways.)
Flint Minshew, father of Gardner, believes Leach and State are a perfect match.
"He'll win," Flint Minshew said. "He's won everywhere he's ever been, and he hasn't coached at easy places to win. Here's the deal: People ask me how will Mike Leach adjust to Mississippi players. It's not how Leach will adapt to Mississippi guys; it's how the guys will adapt to him, because he's going to do it his way. He always has."
Interestingly, one of the players he will inherit is another Brandon quarterback, Will Rogers, a player his coaches say resembles Minshew in nearly every aspect. Rogers, who quarterbacked Mississippi to victory in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game last month, already has enrolled at State.
Said Brandon coach Tyler Peterson, "Will reminds me of Gardner in so many ways as a quarterback and a leader."
In September of 2011, when he was out of coaching, Leach came through Jackson on a book tour promoting his book "Swing Your Sword." We met at Lemuria where we spent more than an hour talking about just about everything but football. At the time, Houston Nutt was the embattled coach at Ole Miss and there were Rebel fans who wished their school would hire Leach.
"Houston's been at this a long time," Leach said. "He's a good coach. They've got time. They can still turn it around."
Nutt did not. But by the time Ole Miss fired Nutt and hired Hugh Freeze, Leach already had taken the job at Washington State.
At Lemuria, Leach also talked about his decision to coach football instead of practice law. (Born in California and raised in Wyoming, Leach graduated from BYU in three years and then graduated in the top third of his law class at Pepperdine.) Instead of hanging a law shingle, Leach decided to take a $3,000 a year part-time coaching job at Cal Poly. He got hooked, and his coaching journey took him to College of the Desert, Finland, Iowa Wesleyan and Valdosta State before elevating to Division I. At Iowa Wesleyan, he and Hal Mumme devised the Air Raid offensive attack that has been copied at virtually every level of football.
One reason Mumme and Leach devised the spread-the-field-and-hit-'em-where-they-ain't system was because they often competed against teams with superior talent. The Air Raid was an equalizer.
In the SEC West, Leach will often find himself in a similar situation where Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M and the like will frequently have stronger, more gifted athletes.
One problem he'll face now that he didn't face 20 years ago. These days, just about everybody, including Alabama, runs some version of Air Raid.

Leach has plenty of Mississippi players now

Two years after the bombing of its bases in Iraq, why did America not respond to the missiles of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards? | Policy

Local products thrive and compete with the importer in the Lebanese market | Software
Iraqi academic Haider Shakir Khamis believes that the US presence is linked to regional balances in the region, but it inevitably constitutes one of the priorities of US policy in the last two decades.
Two years ago, the Iraqi scene witnessed the height of US-Iranian tension after the killing of Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority in Iraq, and the commander of the Iranian Quds Force, General Qassem Soleimani, in a US raid near Baghdad International Airport.
While the region was holding its breath, waiting for Iraq to turn into an arena of international conflict, Iran was satisfied with a symbolic response at the dawn of January 8, 2020, in the form of missile bursts targeting two American bases in Iraqi Kurdistan and western Kurdistan.

The Iranian response included the launch of more than 12 ballistic missiles, which caused severe damage to the Ain al-Assad base in western Anbar and the Harir base in Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and casualties among American soldiers.

The military and strategic expert, Eid Toufan, explains that the missiles that were used are of a Russian-made cruise type, and are equipped with an additional propelling charge that ensures them a long range at the expense of accuracy, which led to the fall of some of them in open areas near the two bases.
In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, Toufan confirms that Iran targeted these two bases because it was aware of the presence of large numbers of American forces inside them, so it contented itself with this symbolic response and demanded calm and non-escalation. He adds that the US forces preferred not to respond, as they did not incur any losses, neither in equipment nor in people, according to Toufan.
Al-Shammari stressed that Iraq's situation would have been more fragile if Washington responded to the Iranian strikes (Al-Jazeera)
open clash
The head of the Center for Political Thinking, Dr. Ihsan Al-Shammari, points out that the situation in Iraq would be more fragile if Washington responded to the Iranian strikes that targeted the Ain Al-Assad base and the Harir base in Erbil, and Iran's military arms represented by the armed factions would turn Iraq into a land of open conflict with the United States.
Speaking to Al-Jazeera Net, Al-Shammari says that Washington realized the ineffectiveness of these strikes, and that the killing of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis is a very big event, and therefore you find that the Iranian response was not at the level that it could respond to.
Al-Shammari adds that the other reason Washington did not respond is that it did not want to engage in an open clash, and "through the assassination of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis, it sent very solid warning messages."
He attributes the reasons for turning Iraq into an arena of liquidation between Washington and Tehran to the weakness of the current political class, and its dependence on the arms of the outside and representing agendas, and therefore this political class did not take the interest of Iraq into account, and did not work to neutralize the country from this conflict, but rather plunged into the conflict of axes.
Regarding the most prominent repercussions of the conflict that affected the Iraqi reality, Al-Shammari refers to the rise of arms at the expense of the state, the dominance of the external decision over the state's decision, and the attempt to drag Iraq into an axis at the expense of the neutrality that Baghdad is trying to pursue.
Al-Asam: There are major differences between Iran and America and they are working to liquidate them inside Iraq (Al-Jazeera)
Frequent Targets
On the reasons for the repeated targeting in Iraq, the strategic expert Safaa Al-Asam says that there is a vendetta that created a new retaliation after the assassination of Al-Muhandis and Soleimani, which was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the hostility became very clear and open because the United States adopted the assassination.
Al-Asam adds to Al-Jazeera Net that there are great differences between Iran and America, and they were working to liquidate them inside Iraq, and each of them is trying to penetrate the strong relations, whether American or Iranian, with Baghdad, and thus the settling of accounts and taking revenge through Iraq.
Al-Asam points out that most of the armed factions are supported from abroad and possess weapons outside the control of the state and they were received from outside the borders, and thus he provided them with power and control inside Iraq through blocs or parties, as they were able to penetrate even Iraqi security. He believes that these factions were able to make American interests threatened as long as they are inside Iraq, and made America build air defense systems.
Is the response over?
In turn, Professor of Political Science, Dr. Ahmed Adnan Kazem, rules out that military operations against American interests will stop after the announcement of the withdrawal from Iraq, especially since the agreement between the Iraqi side and its American counterpart is just an agreement to end the combat missions of the American forces in Iraq.
He shows to Al Jazeera Net that the operations launched against American interests remain dependent on the degree of prior agreement in resolving the nuclear file with Iran, which is still under dialogue through Vienna negotiations with European countries and with American participation as well.
Kazem expresses his belief that the military response to the airport incident is not over yet, especially since Soleimani and Al-Muhandis represent the symbolic case of the ideological leadership that works for the constants and not the variables (protecting the land and sanctities and preserving the sovereignty of the state, whatever it is), so that the end of the response or not depends on the nature of the response. The US military presence in Iraq.
He states that the US withdrawal from Iraq was expected, as happened in Afghanistan, especially since the US administration was unable to manage the issues of wars and conflicts in all the regions it entered since the end of the Cold War and beyond until the present time.
The political science professor described the US withdrawal as a victory for all Iraqis and their state, which aims to live in peace, security and stability away from the conflict of major powers and their interests in the region.
Khamis believes that the targeting of American interests is linked to political pressure more than they are security operations (Al-Jazeera)
political pressure
For his part, Professor of International Relations, Dr. Haider Shaker Khamis, says that it is unlikely that the bombing operations will end with a possible US withdrawal, because they are in essence operations related to political pressure more than they are security operations, and their justifications cannot be limited only to the American withdrawal.
Khamis adds to Al Jazeera Net that these operations cannot be considered as the end of the response to the assassination of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis, but rather as part of the ongoing cold war between the United States and Iran.
He stresses that, if the US withdrawal occurs, it cannot be considered a victory for Iran or its supporters, but rather it is an important step to preserve its gains in Iraq in particular and the region in general, allowing it to continue the political maneuvering it has performed since 2003, and to move forward in using this pressing card. in its negotiations with Western countries.
Khamis expresses his belief that the US presence is linked to regional balances in the region, but it inevitably constitutes one of the priorities of US policy in the last two decades, even if the strength of its adherence to it by successive US administrations differed.

Ong Kim Seng's art sells for $130,540

The acrylic on canvas painting, titled Nepal, went under the hammer at a Sotheby's Hong Kong auction and was sold to an Asian private collector
Nabilah Said

Singapore pioneer artist Ong Kim Seng, 72, set a new personal record when his work was sold for HK$725,000 (S$130,540) at a Sotheby's Hong Kong auction on Monday.
The acrylic on canvas painting, titled Nepal, fetched Ong his highest price in an international auction. It was sold to an Asian private collector.
Ong, who was president of the Singapore Watercolour Society for 10 years, is better known for his watercolour works.
Two were sold at the same auction - Tong Kang for HK$37,500 and Nepalese Scene for HK$87,500.
The self-taught artist has also garnered multiple accolades, including the Cultural Medallion in 1990 and seven awards by the American Watercolour Society.
Speaking to The Straits Times, the Singapore-based artist says he was not even aware that his works were going under the hammer.
Nepal, which measures 1.7m by 3m, was completed in 2009 and was sold in Singapore in 2010 or 2011, he says.
His works of a similar scale tend to sell for a maximum of about $40,000.
"Of course I'm very happy that I can achieve this record, especially as a living artist," he says. "This was a big work and I put a lot of concentration and thought into all the details."
The painting is based on a street scene in Bhaktapur, a city in Nepal. Ong is fond of the country and had visited it yearly in the early 2000s.
The work sold for double the pre-sale estimate of auction house Sotheby's after a contest involving about five bidders.
Mr Mok Kim Chuan, head of the modern and contemporary South- east Asian art department in Sotheby's, says Ong's larger format works, especially those on canvas, "are not often seen in the open market".
"The scarcity of the work, of course in addition to the quality of the work, attracted interest and participation, with collectors wanting to seize the opportunity to acquire the work from one of Singapore's key artists," he adds.
Ms Ma Peiyi, senior curator at Artcommune gallery in Singapore, which represents Ong, says this record price does not come as a surprise.
"Ong is a versatile artist capable of more than just beautiful watercolour landscapes," she says, adding that his big canvas works are especially popular in the Indonesian market.
The record for the most expensive work for a living Singaporean artist belongs to artist Tan Swie Hian, 74. His ink on rice paper work, Portrait Of Bada Shanren, was sold for $4.4 million at a Beijing auction in 2014.

An IR LED (infrared light emitting diode) is a solid state lighting (SSL) device that emits light in the infrared range of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
IR LEDs allow for cheap, efficient production of infrared light, which is electromagnetic radiation in the 700 nm to 1mm range. IR LEDs are useful in a number of types of electronics, including many types of remote controls for televisions and other electronics. Used with infrared cameras, IR LEDs can act like a spot light while remaining invisible to the naked eye.
Because IR LEDs can be used in conjunction with a number of different types of sensors, they are becoming common in machine-to-machine (M2M) environments and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

There are many benefits to adding a carport to your home. First, it protects your vehicle from the harsh elements of nature. Next, building a carport is actually more cost-efficient than building a garage by requiring fewer materials and less complex designs.

Are you DIYer & want to save some money but don't know where to start. All Star Construction can design and build room additions, kitchens and baths or any other home remodeling to various partial stages of completion.

In addition, All Star Construction installs storm windows, fiberglass windows, composite windows, aluminum windows, and other types of energy efficient windows.
One of the best ways to add definition, style, and color to your home is by replacing siding. We do all types of siding work from the ever popular Hardie Plank to the L.P. Smart side and even vinyl-wood & mineral fiber siding-we can do it all. There are numerous advantages to using HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding. This type of siding is easily painted, low maintenance, fire resistant, moisture resistant, termite resistant, and is suitable for hot and cold climates. In addition, Hardie Board Siding has become quite popular due to its affordability, wide array of colors and textures, longevity, and storm/fire resistance.
If you are in need of a new roof due to damage or age, All Star Construction can find you the perfect roofing material based on your style, design, and preferences. Metal roofing is becoming one of the most popular roofs due to its beautiful styles, energy efficiency, and fire resistance.

Health claims abound amongst Expo new products
More and more confectionery companies are touting gluten-free, non-GMO, and sugar-free on their products.
By Crystal Lindell
As usual, this year's Sweets and Snacks Expo was amazing and incredible and a sensory overload, and it also left me with a sugar hangover I'm still trying to kick.
But for a candy show, I have to say, there seemed to be a ton of focus on healthy eating.
The most notable news came from Mars, which announced its support for labeling "added sugars" on nutrition facts panels just days before the show started. And then followed that up by launching a new brand focused on healthier options, goodnessknows.
The brand includes three bars — Cranberry Almond Dark Chocolate, Apple Almond & Peanut Dark Chocolate, and Peach & Cherry Almond Dark Chocolate — and as Mars relays, they are all, "crafted with the goodness of whole nuts, real fruits, toasted oats and dark chocolate, and [are] divided into four snackable squares per serving — all for 150 calories."
The bars also have no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. And the company was quick to point out that one individual, two-bite square contains about 40 calories — although I have yet to meet anyone who can have just one square of a chocolate bar, even if they are a health nut.
For its part, another major player in the industry, Hershey, was promoting a pledge it announced back in February to, "transition to simple and easy-to-understand ingredients."
"We all want and deserve to know what's in our food," said John P. Bilbrey, president and ceo, The Hershey Co., back in February. "We will continue to make our great-tasting, high-quality iconic brands that people know and love. We also will share more information about what goes into our products in ways that are easy to understand and access."
The company also launched Brookside dark chocolate fruit and nut bars at the Expo, which feature real fruit, whole roasted almonds and Brookside dark chocolate. They're also an attempt to appeal to health-conscious consumers.
However, Jeff Beckman, Hershey spokesman, said at the show that Hershey is not in favor of the FDA proposal to include, "added sugars" on nutritional labels. He added, however, that the company obviously would comply if the new regulation was implemented.
Mid-size and smaller confectionery and snack companies were getting on the "healthy candy" bandwagon at the show as well. It seemed like everywhere you looked a manufacturer was promoting something, "Gluten-free," "Non-GMO," or "Sugar-free."
There was Ferrara Candy Co's, new RAP Protein Energy gummies, featuring whey protein isolate as the number one ingredient; Gourmet Nut's High Energy Mix, "loaded with protein, nutrients, and great taste"; Gullon's gluten-free cookies; and Laughing Giraffe's Snakroons, "nutrient-rich and power packed," that feature proteins and good fats.
There was also gluten-free licorice from both The Lovely Candy Co.'s and YumEarth; Old Wisconsin's Fast Fuel Sticks and Bites, touting the protein in jerky; and Partner's Cracker gluten-free Free for All Kitchen Brownie Thins.
And that's just a small sample of all the companies I saw at the show making some sort of health claim on their products.
So what does all of this mean for an industry often demonized as purveyors of "junk food"?
Well, as a consumer, I think it's amazing that so many companies are trying to create healthier products. But, as a consumer, I also know that nothing really beats a full-sugar Snicker's bar when all I want is a full-sugar Snicker's bar.
It's kind of like how it's nice to know in your brain that McDonald's offers side salads as a swap for French fries, but it's much harder to actually put that knowledge into action and order the side salad instead.
During a presentation about the goodnessknows launch, Mars reps talked about balancing taste, healthy attributes, and price — because if even one of those three is off, consumers won't buy the so-called healthy product. Unfortunately, I think those are three extremely hard things to balance.
So, I remain skeptical of how many consumers will actually purchase healthier candy and snacks. Shoppers saying they want something, and shoppers actually spending the money to buy that something are two totally different things.
Although I have to admit, those goodnessknows bars are pretty delicious — especially the Apple Almond & Peanut Dark Chocolate one.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — If you're coming to Frog Follies, you might as well put on a smile.
And if you don't have one to give, the Frog Follies' trio of unofficial greeters will do their best to help you turn that frown upside-down.
Al Siedel, James Bays and Rick Marvin drive down from Indianapolis to spend the weekend at Frog Follies, sporting green plastic frog hats and imploring new arrivals at the 4-H Fairgrounds street rod entrance to get happy.
Siedel has been attending for 12 years and had the idea to serve as the event's hype man early on.
Al Seidel of Indianapolis, Ind., asks street rod drivers to honk their horns and smile as they pull into the Vanderburgh 4-H Center during the first morning of the 45th annual Frog Follies show in Evansville, Ind., Friday, Aug. 23, 2019. "I am here to have fun and enjoy the cars [which made me] wonder why so many people were frowning as they were coming into the show," Seidel said, when asked why he has been greeting drivers at the gate for the past 10 years. (Photo: SAM OWENS/ COURIER & PRESS)
"I'm here to have fun and enjoy the cars," he said. ... "But so many people were frowning as they were kinda coming into the show. So I said, 'Why don't we try to get 'em to smile?'"
They have employed a few different tactics - signs, a bicycle horn and this year, t-shirts that read "Honk, Frog Follies" gifted to them by a fellow annual attendee.
That's a little more advanced than the first year Siedel decided to greet people, when his only prop was a banana - used to simulate a smiling face (or in some cases, mocking those with a less-than-enthusiastic expression by way of a banana frown).
"We just try to get people in the spirit of the show," he said. "I'm here to have fun, and that's what it's all about."
Club member Pete Swaim, a former president of E'Ville Iron, said Saturday's turnout was "really big" but everything had gone smoothly considering the size of the crowds.
"With moderate temperatures and not a lot of humidity we knew we were probably going to have a gigantic crowd Saturday, and we did," Swaim said. "But all things considered, things have gone very smoothly."

The group arrived at the fairgrounds before 3 a.m. to secure parking spots right beside the main gate. (Photo: SAM OWENS/ COURIER & PRESS)
Patience was most definitely a virtue for the masses of people trying to get into Frog Follies Saturday. From around 11 a.m. until mid-afternoon, cars were backed up down U.S. 41 both ways. Some people waited as much as two hours, Swaim said, and parking was treacherous with many spaces unusable due to standing water and mud.
But it all worked out, as things tend to do at Frog Follies.
"You know we've got a lot of really loyal spectators that people came and were willing to wait that long to get in," he said.
If you were planning to visit Frog Follies Sunday, Swaim suggested getting there early, around 8 or 9 a.m. Gates close at 1 p.m.

A few tips...
Andrew R. Chappell | Tempe, AZ United States | 01/07/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have found both Sara's DVDs useful and fun. I will not repeat information from other reviewers that I agree with, but I will offer a few tips to those who have a concern over the length of time and "patter" in this series (Beyond Basic and Basic). These tips will work for both DVDs.If you have gone through the daily dozen with Sara several times and know everything she's going to say, do one of the following...1. Mute Sara and just watch her do the poses with you while you put on a calming CD. You'll still feel like she's there with you and she'll keep you moving from one pose to another.2. Don't use the DVD at all, but put the daily dozen list in front of you and just follow it at your own pace. (Also listening to some calming music.) You can increase or decrease the amount of breaths you take in each pose to modify your session. We do this a lot.3. Do the intermediate session on the Basic DVD or the meditation on the Beyond Basics. Those 2 rotated make a great session on their own!When you want a refresher course on how the poses should look and feel, just turn Sara back on and review with her.Don't be scared off by other reviewers' comments! I've been using this series for a year now, and it's the one I'm happiest with! This new DVD is a great companion for the first.Namaste."
A little disappointed...
L. A. Martin | Atlanta, GA | 06/13/2004
"I bought the First DVD, Yoga for Dummies. It was great because it had a section where she showed you each pose and then she actually gave you a full routine that you could practice to. This DVD only gives the instructional part but there is no routine to follow. And I agree with the other reviews...the pop-ups are beyond annoying. I do not think these existed on the first DVD and I am not quite sure why they were added. I like Candle Light Yoga and Crunch Fat Burning with Sara but I would not recommend this DVD due to the fact that it is basically instructional with no practice routine to go with the instructional."
Excellent follow-up to the first
Sara | New York | 04/07/2003
"Just when I was getting bored with the routine from "Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies", they decided to come out with a sequel with the same instructor (the always wonderful Sara Ivanhoe) but with a more challenging workout. I had been doing the old routine for about 10 months when I decided to step things up a bit and buy the sequel. This video is a fitting follow-up to the first. While the first routine introduced you to yoga and got you used to practicing it on a regular basis, the second video really gets you into it and presents a good workout for the body. You will be surprised at how fit this yoga workout will make you feel. I've been doing the workout for 6 months now, and I'm more toned and muscular, and I've even lost some weight! (Never meant to, though, it just happened...) When I noticed that my clothes didn't fit as snuggly as they used to, and I had to buy smaller rings, I knew the yoga was working!Like the first video, the instructor goes through each pose step-by-step to make sure you are doing it properly. If you're a veteran of the first video, you'll have no problem learning the new routine. But even if this is your first time, you will have no problem learning and doing the poses since the instructor makes yoga so accessible for everyone. And the good thing about the video is that you can watch it a few times, memorize the routine, and then do it on your own after that.With this video, who needs to spend money on expensive yoga classes at the gym? You'll get a great workout at a great price."
L. A. Martin | 10/29/2002
"This is a perfect DVD if you are a beginner, and maybe even intermediate. Sarah explains every thing very well. The thing is, that I found it a little slow. Since the title says "beyond" basic yoga for dummies, I thought it would be an intermediate level, but it's not, I would say it's a little bit more than a beginner level, but less than intermediate; however, the explanations are really good, which is a great plus, since in so many live classes teachers assume that you are an expert, her voice is relaxing, and gives you a decent workout. It's not a DVD that you would play very often, since it takes over 60 minutes, and it's not like other DVD's where you have at least 2 different routines. Here it's all conected, so you can't go from pose #3 to pose #10, or from one routine to another, since you would feel like somehting is missing."
A great next step for beginning yogis
Jennifer K. Pierce | Douglasville, Georgia United States | 10/08/2002
"Big fan of Sara Ivanhoe here. Her instructional style is pleasant without being patronizing; she looks like she's really enjoying herself and manages to convey the feeling that she is in the room with you. Her instruction creates a very clear picture of what the body is supposed to be doing/feeling/aiming for at any time. I found it to be not only a great sequel to Basic Yoga for Dummies, but an excellent companion to her two Crunch workouts--many of the poses introduced in the Crunch series are explored in more depth here, which made both the Fat-Burning and the Joy Of Yoga workouts become clearer.Once I understood the poses I wished that there were an option to run through them with fewer preliminaries, but I like the DVD so much anyway that I had to give it five stars. I'll be working with this one for awhile--there's plenty of room to grow with this workout."

Excellent, with that under our belts I'm going to be discussing a different but related patent that I happened to be reading the same day David's article was published. The patent is titled, "Evaluating Semantic Interpretations Of A Search Query" and it outlines a method for extrapolating semantic relevance from a search query. Essentially, it outlines how a search engine could gain understanding of context for a given query when there are multiple possible meanings. Interestingly, one of the greatest insights I got from this patent had nothing to do with the specific subject being discussed but rather a possible impact to rankings of clickthrough rate but I'll get into that further below.
We have one query with multiple possible answers depending on the context. So how does the patent address this?
We're doing to start with Google's diagram of the solution. It's OK if you don't get what it means, I didn't before digging into the details but having seen the diagram did help me put a context to what I was reading so hopefully it'll help you the same. If not, you can use it as a reference as you read further below.
We can pretty much understand the purpose the patent by going through this image step-by-step so let's do that.
Obtain a set of search results for the given query. This is referring to the exact situation you would expect from classical search results when a query is entered and a result returned based on relevance and site strength.
In step three we need to turn each result or entity from step two into a canonical query. For example, as Google works to determine the books the query "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" would be generated. Essentially Google would build a semantic reference for each possible entity that could be deemed applicable by the initial search.
In step four Google turns each semantic interpretation into a more specific modified search query (a canonical query). An interesting point in the patent is the idea that a template can be created for different types of entities. That is to say that there could be a template query, "how many pages is the book <NAME OF BOOK ENTITY>" which is referenced to answer the question of how long "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is. There are other ways it can be done but the root is, a canonical query would be generated for each semantically related entity based on it's type.
In step five a result set is produced for each canonical query (such as "how many pages in the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
In step six the system then needs to determine the degree of similarity between the various modified search results and the set of search results for the initial query to assign what is referred to as a "confidence score" to the new results. While this does assume that the result set most similar to that of the initial query is most likely right (which may or may not be the case) it does allow for adjustments based on user interactions as we will get into shortly so one can assume the similarity assumption is only in place as a starting point.
In essence what the patent describes is a system by which every plausible interpretation of a query would be analyzed. The resulting data sets would be compared with the results of the initial query and as a confidence score assigned to each based on how similar it is. From there the most likely result would be selected to display to the user. As an aside, the patent does allow for the storing of the results sets and conclusions/calculations so that the full process does not need to be performed on the same or very similar queries in the future thus reducing the server burden from such a complicated process.
The question then becomes, "What if the conclusion is wrong?" That is to say, what if the confidence score is assigned to the wrong interpretation and the wrong canonical query is selected as the likely one to fit the intent of the searcher? While the entire patent is interesting it's answering this question that caused me to think about clickthroughs in a completely different way.
There's always been a debate as to whether clickthrough rates can and do affect a site's ranking. Google has often asserted that it is too easy to manipulate while testing has shown that it can have an impact. Take from this all what you will, either way a high clickthrough rate is good because the whole purpose of ranking to begin with is not bragging rights, it's traffic. The patent however covers an interesting perspective I had honestly never thought of before.
What this means (in the full context of the patent itself) is that the clickthrough rate on a result set can be used to determine if the entity selected to build the canonical query and resulting result was indeed correct. This takes the question of clickthrough rate well beyond whether it impacts an individual site's rankings and into the realm of the entire result set being valid or not and, if not, a completely different interpretation chosen. This means that if you notice a site going up or down in the rankings it may have little or nothing to do with the individual clichtrough rate or even relevancy to a subject but rather a completely different interpretation of the same query. This is huge.
What this means for the site owner is that a ranking for "how long is harry Potter" may fluctuate not based on whether the site is optimized for the term but rather based on whether the site is relevant for a specific interpretation. Let's assume it has a great page on "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". If this is the interpretation that Google selects as most likely out of the gate the page will rank well however if the results as a whole have a low clickthrough rate it may be determined that the initial assumption was incorrect and switch to a different interpretation ("how long is Harry Potter and the Philosophers' Stone" for example). The site in question will drop in rankings in this instance however no amount of onsite SEO will repair that and only a page on the other movie will.
I don't know about you but to me this is a significant idea that should be a strong consideration in content development strategies. If you want to rank for a phrase, have excellent content on the variety of related semantically similar terms. You probably should anyways to serve your visitors but if not for them, then for your ability to rank across a variety of semantic permutations.
While I always try to remember that patents are ideas and they may never be integrated into the algorithm, this one seems more likely than many to play some part. The ideas contained within it make sense in a world where AI is taking over and RankBrain will likely be expanded to the general algorithm in the near future. In the end, the only real action by the site owner is to produce an array of relevant and high-quality content on the subject it is built to rank for and if that's the only "action item" on the list … it should be in the to-dos regardless.


Over the weekend, my son had his second entrance exam going into an SK (public) school. Some things are not right – firstly, it's his third this year. (He's six!! But that's another posting all together). The issue I'm worried about is the fact that there's literally a handful of Chinese and Indian kids in his batch – apparently you can count them using one hand. Contrast this to the primary school I went to, when it was a healthy mix, resulting in me growing up with a bunch of friends and classmates from other races. Where did the Chinese and Indian kids go? Where's the love going all around for unity and diversity, something that we are so proud to tell foreign visitors?
Some people don't seem to be too concerned about this, but I feel strongly that this is such a negative development from 30 years ago. As a parent, you always want to give your child something that is better than what you had growing up – you want to give him/her a better education, lifestyle, and a bunch of material things. Life should progress forwards, not backwards. If our children are not exposed to other races from a young age, there will be less understanding and tolerance from each other growing up, and we could see stronger racism and discrimination. Doesn't it just make sense for a country to have a strong public education system with all races attending? Why have multiple vernacular schools, one for each race? How will this lead to unity?
I understand that parents are concerned about the current state of public education, but all of us were products of them – and we didn't turn out so bad, right? Has the education syllabus deteriorated so much from our time? Or are we the ones who are turning more snobbish, turning up our nose to public education and wanting to give our kids private and premium schooling, because we can? If all parents who have the ability decide to send their kids to private/vernacular schools, wouldn't the quality of our public education deteriorate even further, from a lack of professional working parents who actively contribute towards the parent teacher associations?
For sure one of the reasons why people feel the quality of public education has worsened is the quality of the teachers. When we were growing up there was still a mix of teachers from all races and you had those who went into teaching because of their passion in educating the nation's youth. Now, most of the teachers are Malays – non-Malays are more likely to join the private sector to maximize earnings and their standard of living, since teachers are paid so little in this country.
My aunt is a teacher, and from her Facebook postings I can tell that although she remains passionate and committed to her job, she is also getting weary from the exhaustion and the amount of work, while feeling less appreciated by the public. How would she, and her comrades, feel to see parents increasingly defect to the private or vernacular school system when they are all working their asses off for such a small amount of recognition?
I don't have the answers for this, and neither am I trying to make a political statement. I'm getting worried about the future of my son's generation, and I do hope I will be proven wrong, that this multiple schooling system will not lead the country astray. If only the people in power have strong political will to make this right. Make the nation's education a priority. Invest in teachers and raise their pay to make teaching a respected and sought-after profession. Get rid of multiple systems and focus on improving the public system that we've had for decades. Anyone who can do this (and also fix the local transportation system – but that's another day) definitely has my vote.
I so agree with u girl! I think we Malaysians were more united back when we were in school then now. If we ourselves have no faith in our public school, then who else will? As you said, we turned out alright jugak kan, although product of public school.
Sigh.. Very sad state indeed!
Tula… Also, i think a separate post can be done on the effectiveness of private education vs public. I have a feeling schools are only a fraction, the biggest driver is still parents' upbringing and style at home. For me, I'd rather save the money and be able to send him somewhere for his tertiary education. For primary school, our kids are quite missing out…. Not even able to experience what we did groeing up. Kalau kampung tu takpela jugak… Sigh.
Salam, hi there, I am in the education line, however it is not the primary or secondary level. I opted not to pursue a career teaching in schools and switch to the private sector, but not because of the pay, we don't earn as much as people believe we are. It is just the same scenario in schools, we do have to opportunity to increase our standing through academic achievement. Why I opted out was a whole different reason. Back to the topic, I agree with you that the current quality of our education is questionable, it took us 12 years to iron out the curriculum that we had gone through previously, but now things are changing at a rapid pace. Honestly, even the education is being politicized and everyone wants to leave a mark in their legacy. I guess people are forgetting the informal education that school provided, such as social skills, tolerance and acceptance of different race, religion and belief. And it is so true, teachers are not being appreciated for what they do, instead being blamed for what the students unable to achieve. They are educators not miracle workers. Sorry for renting out as such, I can be overly dramatic when talking about education, I am also the product of our public school.


Honda generator become a nicely great choice to have at home. This generator can handle all gardening and household's activities using electrics power. For example, the electricity is off, you can explore the use of this generator part to water, cut grass, or light your garden. Before you buy the best generator for your home and garden, here are some ways and tips to conduct.
In order to have a high quality Honda generator, it is important to consider on the connecting switch. This is a connecting tool of electricity to electricity system link at home. You must be competent to connect that switch. If you don't have ability, you can ask the distributor of Honda generator to get it. If it has a wrong connection, it destroys an electricity link system at home or the other surroundings.
Honda generator parts can be bought in official distributor or honda parts dealer. When you visit to that distributor, you can see the real generator parts in details. For example honda generator eu2000i parts which is the best choice for an inverter generator from Honda. This generator has strengths depending on the other types of generator.
Inverter generator is lighter and simple because the placement of alternator becomes one to a unit of generator. This is practically saved and brought anywhere.
Inverter Honda generator produces the best electricity quality with the electricity distortion less than 2.5 %. This inverter generator is completed by microchip of inverter for the better electricity quality. The power increase is very low so that it is safe for electronics tools and devices that are sensitive to the power frequency increase.
This makes you handle gardening and household's activities comfortably with no doubts on the electrics power increase. Inverter generator enables to consume appropriate fuel with the performance of engine including electrics power earlier.
The level of noise is low with two levels of noise absorber including a cooling engine system. This generator has been adjusted by European standards ideally for urban, homes, and gardens.
Based on the electricity power that has been calculated, you can determine the capacity or power of Honda generator. This offers some variations of generator based on its power. In order to avoid generator choices of seller, you should know the capacity of Honda generator that will be bought. The capacity must be adjusted by your home electricity capacity.
Be careful on the data of generator on brochure or on honda generator manual books. You should ask the guarantee of seller that the data is valid. Pay attention on operational time of generator and how long the operation period is.
Generally, Honda generator sold is a generator that is used for not non – stop 24 hours per day. You should select non – stop 24 hours use for finishing gardening activities.
Choosing Honda generator and its parts for households' activities is fairly difficult. This has some considerations thought. Those are generator capacity, price, and functions of the generator.
