Sophomore Madi Saltzman, a softball pitcher, second baseman, and outfielder at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, recently competed in the Queen of Diamonds Showcase South (QDSS) on August 31 and September 1 at North Carolina's Winthrop University. Athletes from more than 30 states and several Canadian provinces were able to showcase their abilities and receive instruction from college coaches. Players apply to this event as individuals (not as part of a team) and are selected according to criteria such as ability, potential, academics, coaches' requests, and referrals.
As a result of her performance at QDSS, Saltzman has already been selected for the North American Select Team that will participate in Cup 2015 in Europe, making stops in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Paris. She plays club softball for Pegasus Fast Pitch, and this fall she is a starter for the SCH field hockey team.

Ski Spotlight: Telemark
Telemark skiing is a lesser-known but equally interesting ski variation. This form combines elements of both alpine and Nordic skiing to create an entirely new way to traverse snowy terrain. Named for the Telemark region of Norway, this form was founded in Scandinavia in the late 1800s. The founder, Sondre Norheim, experimented with ski and binding design, introducing the side cuts and heel bindings that were originally incorporated into alpine skis.
Telemark skiing became popularized in the United States in the early 1970s. The sport gained a following because it its general accessibility. Telemark skiing utilizes long pieces of synthetic fabric, known as skins, to travel uphill. Later in the 20th century, light-weight alpine touring skis were introduced, bringing more popularity to the Telemark style.
This form of skiing uses specialized equipment. Often, Telemark skiers use flexible alpine skis with specialized bindings. Similar to cross-country bindings, these affix only the toe of the ski boot to the ski, creating a free heel. The bindings are often non-releasable, but they allow the user to utilize self-generated momentum and gravity to traverse terrain. However, turning in Telemark skis is markedly different than with alpine skiing. Athletes must utilize step turns more than carving in order to maintain balance.
While Telemark skiing is not as popular as its alpine and Nordic counterparts, it is continuing to gain attention and interest worldwide. The FIS Telemark Committee recently announced a proposal for Telemark Parallel Sprint and Team Parallel Sprint to be included in a proposal to the International Olympic Committee. In the coming years, we expect to see this sport take off.
Ski Spotlight: Cross-Country
Cross-country skiing, also known as XC Skiing and Nordic skiing, is one of the most accessible variants in the Wichita area. This form of skiing allows athletes to rely on their own movements to traverse snow-covered terrain. The sport is widely practiced around the world. Skiers propel themselves by striding forward, known as classic style, or by making a side-to-side skating motion, known as skate skiing. Poles and arms aid in this movement by pushing off against the snow. Cross-country skiing most closely resembles the first ski form.
Skiing began as a technique for traveling across snow-covered land—around five millennia ago in Scandinavia. As a result, cross-country skiing evolved as a utilitarian means of transportation, eventually becoming a popular recreational and fitness pastime. Other forms of skiing sprung up in the mid-1800s.
Cross-country skiing can be practiced nearly anywhere with enough snow. Touring and off-piste skiing is widely utilized by the community, offering an accessible way for individuals to appreciate skiing without concomitant and prohibitive prices. Groomed trail skiing is equally popular, often occurring at facilities and parks wherein trails are laid out and groomed for both class and skate-skiing.
Cross-country skiing is separate from the well-known alpine variant in several ways. The heel on a cross-country binding moves freely, serving as the force behind forward movement. This free heel dramatically changes the ways in which cross-country skiers turn and traverse terrain. While alpine skiers rely almost entirely on gravity for forward motion, Nordic skiers must generate their own momentum.
The skis used in cross-country are lighter and narrower than those used for alpine skiing. The bottoms provide a gliding surface, and varying lengths affect maneuverability. Skiers also use poles to create motion. While alpine skiing may be the more "adventurous" or dangerous of the ski variants, cross-country is the most accessible to those in the Wichita area. Users do not need elevation or expensive lift tickets to practice the sport; on a snowy day, you can lay your skis out on your sidewalk and go for a glide around the neighborhood.
Ski Spotlight: Alpine
Enjoying the sport of skiing means increasing knowledge of its variations. We're introducing a series called "Ski Spotlight," which will serve as a space for us to explain and explore different types of skiing. The first, most obvious, and best-covered on this site is… *drumroll* … alpine skiing!
Alpine skiing is the variation of the sport most people think of when they hear the term. This variant utilizes fixed-heel bindings and is typically practiced at ski resorts. However, there are several opportunities for off-piste, backcountry alpine skiing. Through the use of hiking, snowmobiles, helicopters, or snowcats, alpine skiers can practice their sport nearly anywhere with elevation.
As of 1994, there were estimated to be around 55 million people worldwide who engaged in alpine skiing. To practice this type of skiing, athletes follow the fall line of a slope in order to reach maximum possible speed. A skier will point their skis perpendicular to the fall line—across rather than down the hill—to slow or stop. Additionally, alpine skiing focuses on the use of turns to control both speed and direction.
Alpine skis are shaped to enable carve turning, having evolved significantly since the sport was popularized in the 1980s. Skis come in several shapes, each intended for different conditions. For example, powder skis are often used when there is a large, fresh amount of snow, and they are often wider and lighter. All-mountain skis are often heavier, straighter, and narrower, whereas freestyle skis are tipped at both the fronts and backs. Every detail of an alpine ski has a practical purpose.
As with all sports, alpine skiers are susceptible to injury. The most common types of alpine injuries include damage done to the knee, head, neck, shoulders, hands, and back. Alpine skiing is known for its break-neck speeds, thrilling adrenaline, and spectacular sights. Though this is not the only type of skiing practiced in the Wichita area, it is certainly the best-known.
Snow Creek: A First and Favorite Experience for Wichita Skiers
Everyone who grew up skiing in Wichita has a shared experience—Snow Creek. The perfect destination for a weekend ski trip, Snow Creek has a place in every Wichita skier's heart as a beloved winter wonderland. We certainly remember these trips fondly—spending the three-hour drive singing and laughing, looking out the window as Kansas slipped away.
Established in 1986, Snow Creek has been a purveyor of winter fun and family memories for generations. Their 300-foot vertical drop allows for fourteen runs, two terrain parks, and over 30 acres of skiable terrain. Getting to the summit was never a problem, either—we remember singing call-and-response songs on any one of their three chairlifts. Snow Creek also sports 60 state-of-the-art snowmaking machines to ensure quality conditions throughout the season.
We all learned to ski and snowboard at Snow Creek. Around a third of the mountain offered beginner terrain, which was perfect when we were growing up. The fun continued as we got better at skiing—if you weren't hurdling down Six-Shooter, the resort's only black diamond trail, you weren't living. We'd top the day off with a few runs on the tubing track while the parents spent some quality time at the Last Run Bar.
Though we may not have known it as kids, Snow Creek also provides one of the most affordable skiing opportunities in the region; depending on the time of season, adult tickets were rarely more than $30. Those savings still exist, encouraging hundreds of Wichita families to make Snow Creek their winter home. If you didn't grow up learning how to hockey stop on the Oregon Trail or slipping and sliding your way down Flatlands, did you really have a Wichita skiing childhood?
Travel Options for Colorado Ski Resorts
We love Snow Creek in western Missouri as much as anybody, but the most popular ski destination for most of the people we know who love to ski is Colorado. Now, we could talk all day about the different mountains and resort options, good and bad, but one of the toughest decisions for people is simply the best way to get there. Drive or fly? I-70 or State Route 400?
We had enough talks with people to know that there are a lot of individual differences between time and monetary constraints. Younger folks and those who can find extra time in their work schedule may end up making the drive. People who are more established in their careers or whose back doesn't do well with long car rides may prefer to fly. Still, many people have multiple factors pulling them in different directions. For this reason, we did a little research to provide you with some basic information and benchmarks to help make your decision.
Flight and Travel Options
You can fly from Wichita to Denver in under two hours, though it's probably more like 4 hours at least by the time you deal with getting to, through, and out of the airports. But the thing is you're still a 1.5-4 hour drive to get to the closest mountain resort. So you'll either need to pay for a rental or a shuttle service. For comparison, it's almost an 8-hour drive to get to Denver, or 9 hours to get to the closest resort.
The cost really depends on the destination and time of year. During non-peak times that are still during the ski season, you might spend $300-$500 on a flight to Denver. During the holiday season, you might spend $400-$600. You can also fly all the way to Aspen (ASE) or Telluride (MTJ) regional airports. These flights will generally start at $400 and go up from there with limited itineraries to choose from.
If you're flying to one of these regional airports, you'll also have a layover as there are no direct flights. If you're staying at Aspen, one alternative is to drive down to the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. Last time we checked, American Airlines flew from Dallas to Aspen.
If you're driving and especially if you're heading to one of the ski resorts further to the south, then you'll want to think about State Route 400 into Colorado. This is the best way to get to Monarch Mountain, for sure. We've also done a loop when going to Aspen/Snowmass by going I-70 on the way there and 400 on the way back.
Needless to say, you'll also need to think about ski rentals, travel, and/or storage. If you own skis and have a vehicle that can haul them, you're naturally going to have a huge incentive to drive. Otherwise, there are a number of ski rental and travel fee options you can take advantage of when choosing to fly.
For most ski adventures, our personal preference is to drive, but the cost-benefit analysis is often close enough, especially given the right circumstances, that we understand why a lot of people in Wichita choose to fly either to Denver or to one of these regional airports. Have any good insights that we missed related to driving or flying out of Wichita? Tell us, and we'll be sure to share these tips with our local audience.
Welcome to the Wichita Ski & Snowboard Club! We specifically chose today to launch our site because it's the 156th birthday of Fridtjof Nansen, the legendary Norweigan skier who led the team during the First Crossing of Greenland. Nansen would go on to become a Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 1922 for his work with POWs and refugees. He also did some ice skating.
More relevantly, he's the namesake of the oldest ski club in the United States, the Nansen Ski Club, circa. Now, 145 years later, we thought it would be a good idea to pay homage to this history by choosing this date to launch our own ski club. Especially once we saw that it was today's Google Doodle.
The Wichita Ski and Snowboard Club is devoted to helping more people in and around Wichita, KS enjoy skiing. This includes good routes, ski areas and indoor facilities, training gear, lift tickets, ski equipment and rentals, and other ski-related resources. We have friends and connections throughout the country but especially in Colorado and Utah down through Oklahoma and parts of Texas.
We'll be back soon with more information and resources that you can use to create an amazing ski experience this season.


Rooting of the Android devices enables you to use the superuser permissions of the operating system, giving you more control.

Q: Predict future values using Keras I am pretty new to creating neural networks, and I am trying to use Keras in python to create a model that will predict a sequence based on the first ~100 inputs.
I am using 11x10000 arrays to predict a single output value, and I have created a NN that will fit that regression pretty well. However, I want to create another NN that will predict the inputs for the regression NN.
I have a very large dataset at my disposal for training, and I am trying to predict a 11x10000 array using the first few inputs of an array.
I can get it to predict the expected value at the current time step, but I want it to predict far future values based on current and near future values.
Here is some code:
names = getNames()
test = getNames()

for index in range(len(names)):
        print(index)
        X, Y = getData(names, index, False)
        X_test, Y_test = getData(test, index, True)

        NN = makeNN(X,Y, X_test, X_test)

def getModel():
    keras.backend.clear_session()
    model = Sequential()
    model.add(Dense(100, input_dim=11, kernel_initializer='normal', activation='relu'))
    model.add(Dense(10, init='uniform', activation='relu'))
    model.add(Dense(11, init='uniform', activation='relu'))

    model.compile(loss='mean_squared_error', optimizer='adam')

    return model

def makeNN(X, Y, X_test, Y_test):
    try:
        model = keras.models.load_model('./trajSweepNNVacc.h5')
        print("previous model loaded")
    except:
        model = getModel()
        print("new model created")

    X_train = X[0:]

    print('Training -----------')

    model.fit(X_train, X_train, epochs=2)

    print('\nTesting ------------')
    cost = model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test)
    print('test cost:', cost)
    W, b = model.layers[0].get_weights()

    model.save('trajSweepNNVacc.h5')
    return model

I want to get it to predict the future 10000 values, but currently I can only have it predict a current value


This week saw the release of updated guidance on how to prepare energy assessments by the GLA. The new document will replace the 2016 guidance from the beginning of next year and echoes some of the policy changes proposed as part of the Draft London Plan.
The update is notable as it encourages the use of SAP 10 carbon emissions factors. These factors assign an amount of carbon per unit of energy consumed or generated in a building. Factors in the new guidance reduce the calculated carbon emissions emitted by a unit of electricity by over half, compared to the SAP 2012 figures, reflecting changes in electricity generation in the UK.
rewarded the development of a low energy lighting strategy.
Until an updated Part L is adopted by the government, expected later next year, these additional impacts included in SAP 10 will not require consideration by developments in London. However, design teams should give appropriate thought to these topics to develop buildings that are comfortable for occupants and minimise their actual energy consumption.
Greengage's Energy and Carbon Management Team have extensive experience of preparing energy assessments for a range of developments including Clapham Park and Lansdowne Road.
Should you wish to discuss any of the issues raised within this email, require energy services or have any queries on its applicability for your development, please contact tom.gwilliam@greengage-env.com or call 0203 544 4000.

Since 2005, I have conducted The Sandbridge Hammered Dulcimer Retreats. For the 35+ years of teaching privately and at countless festivals and workshops, my intention at every workshop & lesson, especially at Sandbridge is to give students way more than can be absorbed in a week. At Sandbridge, we prepared a comprehensive summary video recording of each tune that was covered in the workshop – available only for workshop participants.
I am pleased to now make many of these recordings available for everyone. Many of the tunes included here can be found in The Sandbridge Dance Tune Collection and The Sandbridge Waltz and Slow Air Collection. However, I have often updated and expanded upon what was printed in those collections.
My general philosophy is that a well-rounded musician should strive to develop four areas: (1) technical skills; (2) listening skills; (3) understanding and applying theory; (4) musicality. In The Sandbridge Dance Tune Collection, I discuss each of these areas and why each is so important.
BONUS: Future updates to sheet music - when Ken adds a new idea, you'll get it!

Browse: Home / 1988 / February / 17 / Q & A: Should We Use a Stock Plan or Employ an Architect/Designer?
Details that personalize your home to the specific way your family lives with kids and pets defines a home customized by its owner. These are often not particularly expensive – just a thoughtful rearrangement of existing materials and aspects.
Choosing a stock plan for a custom home or working with a custom home builder is the difference between living in a template or living in a home customized by the owner.
A stock plan gets the project off and running right away, no interview processes, no engineering to building authority standards, boom you are ready. That works for some people, but not always for those wishing to truly define what home means to them, meeting all of their needs for the entire family.
The front end difference is time and money. Starting with a clean sheet of paper is demanding in terms of imagination and time, however the result is ownership of a truly custom design.
Please understand my personal bias in favor of excellent functional and artistic design. We always tailor stock plans with distinctive touches by altering window sizes; placement, open able sashes, adding skylights and sun tubes.


Recently, it has become possible to make more accurate estimates of rainfall using observations from satellites to enhance ground-based data. This publication presents the findings of a project in which representatives of the hydrometeorological services of six Himalayan countries carried out quantitative validation of the satellite rainfall estimates (CPC-RFE2.0) obtained from NOAA climate prediction centres at the national and regional levels, and tested a rainfall-runoff model (GeoSFM) to predict discharge. The project had technical support from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and funded by the United States Agency for International Development Office for US Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA). The results provide an important first step in the use of this new methodology in the region to reduce the impact of water-related disasters. The publication is provided on a CD-ROM together with a short summary booklet.

Over the Christmas period I have been playing The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game with the family and jolly good fun it is too. By suggesting the game is played for real money, astute parents will give themselves a decent chance to 'win back' pocket money which offspring would otherwise only fritter away on non-essentials such as CDs, DVDs and iPod accessories.
Players accumulate cash either by winning races or by betting. In a two horse race earlier in the week, the horses were priced up at 6/1 and 33/1; I'm only allowed to bet one horse but I happen to be in control of one of the horses. There are no odds on shots and in a matter of forty minutes I had over £4 million in my hand. Why can't real horse racing be like this?
There are some disadvantages. Although admission is free, viewing can be limited (I was squashed up on the stool next to the TV) and the living room could do with a lick of paint. In addition the catering was uninspiring (cold turkey sandwiches or a call out to Papa John's pizza house).
Still, these are small tribulations set against a potential earnings rate that would embarrass any Premiership footballer; I wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

(PONARS Policy Memo) In Know Your Enemy: The Rise and Fall of America's Soviet Experts, historian David Engerman portrayed contemporary Russian and Eurasian studies as insular, ineffectual, and—ultimately—irrelevant. Charles King's article in Foreign Affairs, "The Decline of Area Studies: Why Flying Blind Is Dangerous," painted a bleak picture of area studies as financially flatlined, save for the lucky few working on issues of interest to the defense establishment. Following crises in Georgia, Ukraine, and Russia-US relations, commentators routinely lament the lack of area studies expertise within the academy and policymaking communities.
An oral history project sponsored by the Harriman Institute of Columbia University gives us the opportunity to take stock of such assessments. Contrary to conventional wisdom about area studies in the post-Cold War era, the project shows how networks of Russian and Eurasian experts pioneered and shaped emerging fields such as the study of nationalism and human rights while others moved into new professional spheres, which were searching for ways to engage with the region's new states—including the corporate and non-governmental organization sectors. This memo traces these developments through the stories of our narrators. It argues that area studies is alive and well, despite some missed opportunities in the 1990s, and it concludes with recommendations to build on this rich legacy with new partnerships and new ways of looking at the region.
When the Harriman Institute at Columbia University kicked off its oral history project in 2015, the stakes were high. The Institute was heading toward its 70th anniversary and many area studies institutes in the United States were in a period of protracted soul searching and institutional uncertainty. This made it all the more important to use the oral history as a tool to gauge the relevance of the decline thesis, understand important turning points and diagnose the shortcomings of area studies today. The first phase undertook twenty-six interviews with Harriman Institute directors, professors, staff, alumni and senior affiliates whose experiences span six decades in Russian and Eurasian studies. The cast of narrators was diverse—left and right leaning, academic and policy-oriented, humanities and social-science focused, more and less sympathetic to Russia—to ensure that what we learned would be of interest and relevant to the broader field of area studies.
The standard "rise and decline" thesis on any subject necessarily involves simplification. A fall or decline—whether an empire or a discipline—is all the more dramatic if juxtaposed to a so-called Golden Age of privilege and power. The problem with such narratives is that they oversimplify, ignore past turmoil, and give us a sense of insecurity about our present state. The narrators in the oral history offer an important correction to this era when towering figures dominated the field and held close government ties.
The Russian Institute (as the Harriman was known before 1982) was blessed with a core, multidisciplinary faculty that in the early days either had wartime experience or unique experience doing research in the Soviet bloc. Geroid Robinson—the founding director—had done research in Russia and led the USSR Division of the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Service in Washington, DC. The Division would also call on Phillip Mosely and John Hazard to serve, and they subsequently assumed the helm of the Russian Institute, becoming part of the first generation of Sovietologists. By virtue of their near monopoly on government contacts and rare field experience in the Soviet Union, it would have been more remarkable if this early core of Sovietologists had accomplished anything less.
Even in the best of times, Soviet and Russian studies faced cyclical challenges from within and without. What took place at the end of the Cold War was less a "fall" and more a diffusion of research communities and institutional mission.
Enter the Wild 1990s: What Next?
The collapse of the Soviet Union naturally created an existential crisis among experts who panicked about what they would study for the rest of their professional lives. Soviet studies lost its raison d'etre but also its protected status within and outside the academy.
Indeed, the trajectory of ASN itself testifies to how interest exploded; the organization's membership doubled from 1994-1997 and its journal Nationalities Papers grew in influence.
The growth of the human rights field was another unplanned outcome of Soviet collapse. Jeri Laber's oral history sessions offer a rich account of how some Soviet studies experts reshaped the field of human rights. While there had been long-standing interest in Soviet dissidents, this reflected a narrow approach to human rights. Laber describes how work in human rights evolved from the Carter Administration, through Soviet collapse and on to the internet era which redefined the profession. The stories she tells are poignantly summarized in a casual comment, "To save someone's life—it's not a small thing." Rachel Denber, who would become the Deputy Director of the Europe and Central Asia division at Human Rights Watch, shares stories about working in a number of conflict settings including Chechnya and Nagorno-Karabakh. Denber recounts that the organization operated in an environment of understanding from the Russian government in the mid-1990s as she freely accessed archives and conducted interviews with the FSB and even the Ministry of Defense until the second Chechen War.
In the post-Soviet era, area studies is said to have fallen out of favor relative to rising security studies institutes or the traditional disciplines like political science. Yet, as Tim Frye pointed out, he and many others were afforded new opportunities to integrate post-Communist cases into fields like Comparative Politics and Political Economy.
There was also substantial disagreement on whether the institute and area experts should be involved in guiding economic and political reforms in post-Communist states. Western expertise was sought on issues like designing constitutions, structuring privatization programs and building capital markets. Interestingly, these roles were filled by non-area experts. The Harvard Institute for International Development provided a platform to academics to advise USAID-sponsored reforms in Russia, but a similar role for Harriman did not materialize. Richard Ericson, economist and director from 1992-1995, spoke of the Institute's relatively conservative approach, despite pressure from the university to find a private-sector role. Proposals were floated to make Harriman more "business-friendly," but they lacked necessary faculty buy-in, connections, and corporate sponsorship to work.
By the mid-1990s, the university stopped replacing retiring and departing faculty, while Ford and SSRC pulled away from their longstanding commitments. The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) was developing an identity as a functional-based professional school, with area studies increasingly marginalized from its mission, curricular planning, and critical institutional decisions. Students interested in Russian and Eurasian issues were encouraged to gain expertise in security, political development and finance, rather than interdisciplinary training in the region. Even those most sympathetic to area studies agreed that a "rebalancing" of academic emphasis was required for area studies to stay relevant in an era of globalization. However, there was very little pushback, as Padma Desai pointed out, even when non-area experts immersed themselves in the extraordinarily impactful but disruptive reforms in Russia and throughout the region.
The current deterioration in U.S.-Russian relations and heightened coverage of Russia in the media point to the pressing need to restore contextual knowledge to the way we study and understand the region.
First, providing relevant and rigorous regional training should be divorced from nostalgia about a so-called Golden Era. Whatever merits there are to perceptions of a better time, area studies itself needs to evolve and address the needs of the current era. Our narrators explain how language, literature, anthropology, and historical context are critical for informed analysis and, ultimately, sound advice to policymakers. Area studies champions cannot remain passive about this.
Second, it is time to fundamentally expand and redraw the boundaries of what we consider to be the region. Just as history has made an important turn towards global perspectives, the field of area studies is greatly enriched when it embraces the region's transnational communities, including diasporas, exiles, oligarchs, refugees, dual nationals, and cultural emissaries. The relationship between the Ukrainian diaspora in North America and the conflict back home, Tashkent's current tapping of second-generation Uzbeks in New York to assist the current reforms, and the mobilization of anti-Putin exile communities are all important trends that fundamentally interact with the region. Cities like New York, Paris, Berlin, and Istanbul have historically served as hubs of exile political and cultural life.
Finally, it is critical to note new sites for "policy relevance," especially as professional schools become guardians of standards, norms and research that directly affect the region. Schools of law, public health, business, social work, and higher education all train professional experts and specialists in fieldwork. Partnerships with area studies institutes are a natural fit. For example, collaborations with journalism schools on issues like disinformation and propaganda, the role of state-sponsored media, and online influence can provide area experts new ways to make their impact—even if traditional policymakers are not currently listening to them.

Israel's president starts consultations on prime minister nomination
gandalf General April 17, 2019
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nomination seemed virtually ensured after his right-wing Likud won the largest number of parliamentary seats in the April 9 ballot, and his closest rival, Benny Gantz of the centrist Blue and White party, conceded defeat. President Reuven Rivlin said he would announce his choice on Wednesday after meeting with all of the parties that captured seats in the 120-member Knesset. Under Israeli law, after consultations with the parties the president taps a legislator whom he believes has the best chance of forming a government, delegating 28 days, with a two-week extension if necessary, to complete the task.

Dead Whales and Deep Sea Fish on California Beaches — Fukushima, Quake Warning or Something Else?
footballfish
In the past month, eight dead whales have washed up on beaches of the San Francisco Bay. Since 2018, 21 have washed up dead on the coast of British Columbia. This week, a rarely seen deep-sea anglerfish was found dead on Newport Beach at California's Crystal Cove State Park. Are these signs of how much radiation from the Fukushima disaster is still in the Pacific? Is it a warning to the Pacific coast of an upcoming and disastrous earthquake or tsunami? Or is it something … worse?
"Tissue samples were taken from the three whales but scientists couldn't perform necropsies to determine how the whales died because the carcasses were in locations that were unsafe, inaccessible or had shifting tides, the center said. Four other gray whales have been found dead in the Bay Area since early April, along with one fin whale. A pygmy sperm whale was found in February at a Sonoma County beach."
KCRA News in Sacramento is just one of many media outlets reporting on the recent California whale deaths being investigated by The Marine Mammal Center. The latest were found in Tiburon, at the Port of Oakland and at Angel Island State Park north of San Francisco. While some of the whales were killed by ship strikes, the researchers are at a loss as to why so many are entering San Francisco Bay in the first place. Those that could be analyzed were often found to be weak and malnourished, prompting warnings to whale watchers to avoid getting close to the mammals.
Whale investigations increased in 2019 after biologists noticed an unusual number of deaths in their annual migration from Mexico to Alaska – a number large enough for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to call it an "unusual mortality event." While the whale deaths were unusual, something more unusual washed up this week.
"State park rangers and lifeguards with Crystal Cove State Park were alerted to a weird looking fish that washed ashore Friday morning from beach visitor Ben Estes who happened to notice it on the sand. It's been identified as a deep sea Pacific Footballfish, which is a species of anglerfish that are normally dwellings at depths more than 3,000 ft below the surface. It's one of more than 300 living species of anglerfish from around the world. Though the fish itself is not rare, it is extremely rare to see one this intact along a beach in southern CA."
Davey's Locker Sportfishing & Whale Watching reported the find on its Facebook page, along with pictures of a large black fish shaped like a deflated football with a weird appendage that – if it were a football – would eliminate the need for a holder on field goal attempts. The Pacific footballfish (Himantolophus sagamius) an is normally found in the Kuril-Kamchatka trough in the northwest Pacific – an area that has experienced many magnitude 8 and above earthquakes – and in Japan's Sagami Bay, another high earthquake location. Why did this Footballfish travel all the way to San Francisco Bay to die? Was it carrying a message to humans who seem to be ignoring the messages of the dead whales?
The Fukushima nuclear disaster was triggered by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in 2011 which resulted in the release of massive amounts of radioactive material into the air and water. The effects are still seen today … and the release of radioactive water that has been stored since 2011 may resume. Oarfish are the traditional mythical messengers of upcoming underwater doom – which may be caused by their sensitivity to vibrations and methane releases of low-level deep sea earthquakes prior to a big one. Whether you believe the myths or the science, these deaths are certainly signs of something unusual going on in the Pacific – earthquakes, pollution or possibly something science hasn't determined yet.
Is anyone listening? Concerned Footballfish and whales would like to know.

This watch is coated with silver and somewhat reddish shades to attract. A kind of business class.
Made it fully of revolute joints including the chains(strips) and the dials.
Great job with the lighting on your renderings!


Wyzecam Pan is their new $29.99 security camera that can pan, tilt and motion track automatically.
Does anyone know if the software works on a windows desktop PC (Windows 7) instead of using a smartphone? Thanks in advance.
Update on price: as of 1/12/2019, Amazon price is up to $37.98. Please let me know where I can get it for $29. Thanks!
Night vision quality question here. Is this (Wyze Cam Pan) noticeably improved over the Wyze Cam for night vision? The website says that the Cam Pan has 6 IR LEDs vs 4 IR LED (Wyze Cam) "for enhanced" images of grey….but is there a practical difference b/w the two products?
I absolutely love these cameras>>>t.co/89rOrnLhoT Within the 4th day, I actually caught someone messing with my Mustang. I bought the memory card that goes with it. I'm extremely satisfied.
Can you use it on a different WiFi network?
I've had the V2 and loved it but this will be perfect for my Bedroom/Gameroom XD Thanks for the video to make sure this is what i wanted. It has so much value for so little! I just going to get one but I hope to buy a couple of more to secure my home.
I disagree that the video quality is not that great, it's 1080P after all. I think it's the frame rate that's an issue at only 15 fps, many cameras use that rate too. I'd like to see 30 fps but then again it's a security camera, not a movie camera.
It's the best in home camera pound for pound. The value is impeccable.
When viewing, recorded or live. wireless or plugged in?
Im assuming i see the usb plugged in is only for power?
What's the max sd card storage?
On what device are you able to see playback?
Can you get a live feed to your phone?
Very interesting. Do any of these cameras have zoom?

Attacks/Breaches
25 Years After: The Legacy Of The Morris Internet Worm
A look at how worms have evolved from the infamous -- and relatively benign -- Internet worm of 1988 to targeted, destructive attacks
Given the diversity and spread of the Internet and the Internet of Things today, it's unlikely another big-time Internet worm could be unleashed that could be relatively as powerful as Morris' was back in the day. But that doesn't mean the Internet isn't at risk of another "Morris moment" of sorts.
"It would definitely be much harder to do," Maiffret says. "A lot of the previous worms were propagated by targeted, server-side vulnerabilities, and most modern types are targeting client-side applications software."
And with the disappearing network perimeter, it would be more difficult to spread from organization to organization, he says.
Spaf says another big Internet worm like Morris' would be difficult to pull off. "I won't say it is impossible, but I think it is unlikely. We have too many systems with dissimilar rules, software, and network filters," Spaf says. "If something did occur, it would be more like the Slammer worm in behavior."
So what ever happened to Morris? At the time, he was found guilty of violating the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and sentenced to three years' probation, 400 hours of community service, and more than $10,000 in fines. He is currently a member of the faculty at MIT's computer science department -- the very university where he first unleashed the worm in 1988.
Spaf says Morris indeed paid his dues and made amends for the 1988 worm. "He has not used [the worm] for any personal gain, he has not bragged about it, written about it, nor advertised it to the security business. He instead went on to found a company and get his Ph.D., and he's a valued member of the academic community now," Spaf says.

J.G.Walther wrote a lot of arrangements of chorales for organ, a bit like those of Zachow, Handel's teacher. He was famous for something else, too: a musical dictionary. His dates are 1684-1748.
His pieces are very competent, not very distinctive and, to be honest, a bit plain. Most of the music doesn't suit the piano, but chorale 17 is simple and effective.
The problem with a lot of Walther's music for the pianist is that the clarity of the tunes is spoiled by semiquaver runs which muddy the texture. They sound ok on the organ but do not work on the piano.
There may be one or two other chorale settings in the collection (in the D.D.T. series) which are suitable - I haven't explored every one. There are about 50 pieces to go through. Avoid the ones full of semiquavers and you may be lucky.

Bruce Nauman: The True Artist
The most comprehensive overview of the art of Bruce Nauman
Peter Plagens
Editions: Hardback | English
Price: USD$125.00
Bruce Nauman (b. 1941) is one of the most innovative, provocative and influential artists working today. His pioneering explorations of sculpture, performance, sound, video and installations – always questioning the role of the artist – have broken new ground and inspired innumerable artists' careers.
Confronted with what to do in his studio soon after graduating, Nauman had the simple but profound realization that 'If I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art. At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.' Exploring Nauman's relationship to the place where he creates his strikingly original works, Bruce Nauman: The True Artist retraces back to the artist's youth in Fort Wayne, Indiana, his graduate work at the University of California, Davis, through to the present day. Nauman's continual search for new means and sources of expression have led him to experiment with a very wide variety of medium (photography, performance, sculpture, installations, video, neon sign, and sound) as well as to explore the relationship between words and images. Nauman's apotheosis as one of the world's most highly lauded artists came as he was ranked No. 1 in the world by Artfacts.net in 2006, and he was the sole US representative in the American Pavilion at the 2009 Venice Biennale.
Peter Plagens, best known to the general public for his work as art critic at Newsweek, has known Nauman for over forty years, and in his own words describes this book as 'about my trying to get at the real truth of Bruce Nauman's work'. They first met in 1970, when their studios were a block apart in Pasadena, California, and they played basketball together every Sunday. Since then Plagens has pursued a real understanding of his friend's art and in this book presents it from his uniquely insightful perspective, including chronicling as it happened the creation of works in Nauman's studio in Galisteo, New Mexico, and the organization, installation and reception of his exhibitions. Throughout, Plagens is a savvy and engaging guide to the work, using his own attempts to puzzle out the meaning of the pieces, and the artist's conversations about them, to offer the reader a vivid, personal and enlightening take on one of the key figures in contemporary art.

"Bruce Nauman: The True Artist offers the fullest survey yet of this protean artist's work. [Peter Plagens's] first‐person journalistic tack is a welcome approach to an artist who often attracts jargon‐fond academics."—The New York Times Book Review
"Bruce Nauman is known for almost always saying no to retrospectives, interviews, or anything else that might "totalize", as he's said to put it, his work and career. So this month's publication of Phaidon's monograph on the artist, Bruce Nauman: The True Artist, is a red‐letter occasion, if only because it represents one of the rare moments when Nauman said yes. Written by Peter Plagens, an abstract painter who was the art critic for Newsweek from 1989 to 2003, the book has been in the works since 2008 – or even longer, if you count the fact that Phaidon's co‐publisher, Amanda Renshaw, had been trying to get Nauman to agree to a project since she joined the company more than 20 years ago... While Nauman looms as a cross between the Marlboro Man and an art‐world Greta Garbo, Plagens is an unrepentant chatterbox who tends toward mighty digressions. But that's also what makes the book such a delight. Full of riffs on subjects ranging from the use of neon in art to the history of the Venice Biennale, it's as much a social history of the modern‐day art world as it is a guide to Nauman's life and career."—Carol Kino, The Wall Street Journal
"An astute observer of the contemporary art scene from his days as Nauman's neighbor in 1970s Los Angeles, Plagens gives us a vivid vignette of the artist... This book will remain the definitive monograph for years to come."—ARTnews
"In this meticulous authorized monograph, critic Plagens, a longtime friend of Nauman, weaves historical context, critical perspective, and his own reflections to study the career of one of the most, if not the most, influential artists of the last half‐century."—Publishers Weekly
"Plagens's new book on Nauman is the closest I, and most of the world, may ever get to the artist."—Justin Jones, The Daily Beast
"[Plagens] seeks to view the subject whole. His approach is not one of scholarly distance but of personal engagement and strong opinion."—Art in America

Whether or not this kind of stuff goes on over the Ham bands these days, I couldn't tell you. It is easy to imagine such obnoxiousness of some people back in the day. Of course if you assume the way kids are portrayed in contemporary movies and TV shows is typical, even the aforementioned behavior would seem mild in comparison. Fortunately, kids today have a plethora of social media venues for treating others to their brands of personalities, so maybe the Ham bands are spared the honor.
Proud Papa
The proud father who carries around pictures of Little Stinkey and bores everyone he meets to death by showing the pictures and demanding comments on same has long been a subject for derision in story and cartoon, but this character reaches the very acme of obnoxiousness on the amateur 'phone bands. Here he no longer thrusts a shadowy likeness of Little Stinkey upon you; he thrusts Little Stinkey himself!
"Just a minute, OM," Proud Papa will say.
"I'll let the junior op say hello to you. Go on, Stinkey; say hello to John."
There are great quantities of what the broadcast men call "dead air."
"Come on now, Stinkey; please say something to the nice man."
Still nothing but an echoing silence.
"Ha, ha! That's the way they are, OM. You can't keep them still when you want things quiet, and then when you want them to talk, they won't say a word. But I think I can persuade him to say something." There is a certain grim, desperate, but determined note in his voice as he says this, and then you hear sounds of a sharp scuffle that create a clear picture of a child's arm being savagely twisted while a bull-whip is brandished over his head. By listening intently, you finally hear a small whimper of anguish.
"There you are, OM!" Proud Papa says with a note of triumph in his voice, although he is still breathing a little hard. "I'll bet that came through all okay. He really loves to talk over the mike when he gets started. Think I'll make a fine business ham out of him, OM?"
It is best not to say what you think. - John T. Frye, W9EGV


March | 2019 | my heart is happiest when i travel. read. write. connect.
You know those friendships that can withstand time and distance? Those ones where you can just pick up right where you left off, no matter how long it's been? Lauren's one of those friends. We've both had a lot going on and haven't been able to catch up in way too long, but when she called me tonight, it was like being enveloped in a big hug.
Not wasting any time, we launched right into our conversation, catching one another up on the details of our lives, celebrating one another's victories and empathizing with the low points. I'm honestly so damn happy for her. She's had a lot to overcome these last few years, but she's in such a good place now. Of all the people out there, she deserves it. Lauren's the kind of person who would do anything for the people she cares about, oftentimes putting herself as the last priority, so to see her looking after herself and thriving instead of just surviving makes my heart swell.
As we meandered through topics of conversation, time stood still. Before we knew it, well over an hour had passed. With both of us needing to wake up early for school, we reluctantly ended our chat, knowing we could have kept on going for at least another hour. It's definitely a to be continued conversation. Luckily the next time we pick up where we left off, we'll be able to do it in person. We will both be in Bangkok next week and have already set aside Monday as our day to hang out, doing all the things we love- eating yummy Thai food, getting massages, sitting by the pool, and engaging in deep conversations, of course! One week to go…I can't wait!
Talking with Lauren was good for the soul. I needed that tonight.

Home/Technology/Why the BMW M3 and M4 grill is good
Why the BMW M3 and M4 grill is good
Technology 55 Views
Photo: BMW
This is going to sound like a classic version of "bad is really good," but listen to me: I think the big ugly nostrils on the BMW M3 and M4 are good, and I'm tired of pretending they aren't. That has been my opinion since I first saw the mole rat poles. It's my point of view now.
Everybody always complains about how cars bunch up and legislate to death and no one is taking risks anymore and there are no nonconformist executives executing their vision. But as soon as someone even gets close to the line, they all cry and grab their pearls. "What have you done to the M3 !?"
I did not find the David E. Davis' 2002 BMW Story until I was an adult, and had no interest in the M1, which came and went before my time. But for much of my life, BMWs were on a separate plane of existence: untouchables. Cooler than Porsche and Ferrari because they weren't making sports cars, they were making hot rod sedans that could run over sports cars.
I'll never forget looking at the circular plate cooling fans positioned behind the bumper of an E36 M3 in the parking lot of our local mall, and then seeing an M3 Lightweight on Front Street. I will never forget sitting Alex Roy's M5 and hearing him say that it was the last great BMW we would see. I will never forget reading Jonny Lieberman M Coupe Entry at the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage. Seeing a Laguna Seca Blue E46 in the parking lot of the restaurant where i worked in college. All these cars are unpretentious, modified and disheveled to offer great speed for those who know enough to buy one. The underdog, the q-ship, the wolf in the sum of the parts of the sheep.
In 2021, BMW is not a brave loser. Depending on the year, BMW is either the leader or the second seller of luxury cars in the world. He builds big, expensive tech cars and crossovers and sells them to shit, presumably at a good margin. At some point, BMW had to stop making the kinds of cars that formed the contours of its mythology. And stopping it did.
G / O Media can get a commission
He just didn't know what to do after that.
The consensus among BMW fans, enthusiasts, and the media seems to be that BMW itself has been trying to figure out what to do for the last decade or so. There was the detour from the i8 / i3, a front-wheel drive hatch with a rounded cool on the C-pillar? I have no idea if these cars are still in production. There were a couple of powerful but forgettable M cars. (People who would know would say that the new M2 CS is great.)
I admit that I, a person who has never owned a used BMW, was once very angry at BMW for "losing my way." Some of the baddest reviews I've ever written were BMW reviews from years ago. I'm sure at some point I would have said that BMW just needed to bring back the magic of the E39 or E46, or whatever. As German executives liked to say the last time I saw one in real life, "It's not possible." If you are the one who counts the money, I imagine that it is not even desirable.
BMW cannot fully break free, the M3 still has to be a sports sedan. So it seems like you're either taking a new direction or getting dragged endlessly into conversations about how the cars you're building today aren't as good or as good-looking or as good-looking as the cars you can't and can't. I want to do more.
For me, looking at this car, it is clear that BMW wants to take a break. There is more evidence in a completely mortifying and hard work social media effort and even more so at that. video where cars are bad with each other. Someone from BMW has made a decision.
The much-maligned 2019 Concept 4 was the first time in a long time that I had the feeling that BMW was heading in one direction. It was a break. The design felt familiar, but only tangentially related to BMWs of the past, more references than curtsies. It was also one of only three show cars that I have seen in the last 10 years and that I remember.
The regular Series 3 and Series 4 are close to fulfilling the promise of the Concept 4. The M cars get there. They are wicked, edgy, shocking, and somewhat ugly. Visually at least, they are a staunch rejection of much of the BMW spirit of the golden age. The people who worked on the E39 might recognize them, but they couldn't have conceived them themselves.
Many cars vaguely resemble BMWs at the moment. The M3 and M4 look like BMWs from another scarier dimension where people use drugs that come in bottles and glow blue. It's good, it's exciting, it makes other sedans look dated instantly. BMW has taken the shit because the designs went where others weren't ready, or not equipped, to go, and they were vindicated. I think they will be here too. Remember how crazy people were with Bangle cars? They may have seemed like another breakout at the time, but now they are just part of the BMW myth.
I am still vaguely aware of the cars that BMW currently sells. I even lost track of the M cars afterwards, I think the E92s. I have not driven the new M3 / M4 and did not like the last one. So I'm not really equipped to say if it's good. But when it comes to style, this is a milestone for BMW. This is something different, an expression of a new spirit. You may not know it now, you may hate it, but it's what you've been asking for.

Q: What does :constant mean in ARM and what does it mean specifically in VLDn's address register? I am learning neon and found a line of code as the following:
DATA            .req r0
vld1.16         {d16, d17, d18, d19}, [DATA, :128]!

I can not find any information about what the :128 means. In RealView Compilation Tools® Version 3.1 Assembler Guide, immediate value in vldn's address register is not defined,
even if :128 means #128. What is the difference between :128 and #128? What does :128 mean exactly in this instruction?
Thanks

A: The assembler syntax for that instruction according to the ARM Architecture Reference Manual is:
VLD1<c><q>.<size> <list>, [<Rn>{@<align>}]!

So it looks like your :128 means @128 from that context.

<align> The alignment. It can be one of:

Real Madrid is not interested in signing Paul Pogba, so where do you want to move?
Raufs
Paul Pogba's fate at Manchester United is reportedly at a crossroads. The French player will leave Old Trafford.
Rumors circulated that Paul Pogba could leave Manchester United sooner. There are several clubs who are rumored to want to steal the start to bring in Paul Pogba in January 2022.
But the Manchester Evening News claims the rumors are not true. The reason is, there has not been a single offer that has entered the Manchester United table to get Paul Pogba .
The report claims that no bids have come in for Paul Pogba. Until now there has been no club that is really serious about signing Paul Pogba. Many clubs prefer to sign Paul Pogba in the summer. They don't need to spend a transfer fee for the midfielder.
Real Madrid, who had the most interest, slowly withdrew regularly. The Spanish giants are more focused on realizing Kylian Mbappe's frown rather than signing Pogba. There are still several teams being linked with the next port for Paul Pogba.
The 28-year-old has entered the final six months of his current contract at Manchester United and is unlikely to be renewed. So where will Paul Pogba play after leaving the Red Devils team?
Rumor Barcelona
Another Spanish giant, Barcelona has the opportunity to accommodate Paul Pogba, especially in the summer transfer window of 2022. The Catalan team showed their seriousness in signing Pogba.
Superagent Mino Raiola met with Joan Laporta, President of Barcelona, in Turin, Italy recently. Reportedly, the name Paul Pogba was mentioned, in addition to the figure of Erling Haaland who became Barcelona's main target.
The meeting reportedly discussed Barcelona's transfer plans. And Mino Raiola, as reported by SPORT, handed Pogba to Joan Laporta. Pogba is currently playing for Manchester United.
He had helped win the Europa League trophy and the English League Cup.
It is not clear what Pogba's future will be at Manchester United. As a result, the French player has the potential to leave on a free transfer in July 2022.
Pogba himself has repeatedly implied that he wants to leave Manchester United.
He has a good vision to play, plus a high goal sense, with 75 goals and 96 assists in his professional career.
Back to Juventus?
While the Italian giants, Juventus are also enlivening the hunt for Paul Pogba and are reportedly struggling to bring Paul Pogba back to the Allianz Stadium. The player is a former Bianconeri player.
For the sake of launching his desire, it is reported that Juventus will not hesitate to release a number of their players, including sacrificing Matthijs de Ligt. The name Juventus is a strong candidate to bring in Pogba.
It can't be separated from the beautiful memories of Pogba while strengthening the Bianconeri in 2012/2016. However, Raiola as the agent of the French player again made a horrendous statement.
Railo emphasized that his side was open to all possibilities, including the opportunity for Pogba to return to play in the Italian League with Juventus. However, he is reluctant to reveal too much about his client's future.
I don't forbid anyone to dream, I also dream every day, so let's dream, it's good for you. Then let's see if they come true," Raiola was quoted as saying by Football Italia in November 2021.
It's still too early. Let's see what happens.
Even so Railo said there was a chance for Pogba to stay at Man United, but he also did not rule out the 28-year-old player leaving Old Trafford. He explained that at this time no decision had been made, so anything could still happen.
"So it's better not to talk about it, also because some former Manchester United players will have nothing to talk about if they don't talk about Pogba and me."

Hans Lennernäs receives the Humboldt Research Award
Hans Lennernäs, Professor of Biopharmaceutics, Uppsala University
Hans Lennernäs, Professor of Biopharmaceutics, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Award by the German Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung. The prize money, 60,000 euros, will partially finance a Swedish-German study aiming to develop new drugs for chemotherapy against cancer.
Hans Lennernäs, Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Award. The prize, which includes 60,000 euros, is awarded annually to a number of researchers whose results have had a lasting effect on their discipline beyond their immediate research area. The amount is intended to finance a project carried out in collaboration between the prize winner and German research groups.
"I am very grateful for this generous award, which enables us to deepen a study that we have already initiated in collaboration with Peter Langguth, Professor at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Together, we are trying to identify substances that can counteract some of the strong side effects that often occur during chemotherapy against cancer, and then explore whether it is possible to develop drugs based on such substances," says Hans Lennernäs.
The Humboldt Research Award is given by the German Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung. According to the foundation's statutes, each winner's scientific output must be internationally recognized and, above all, the winner must be expected to continue producing exceptional research in the future. With this award, Hans Lennernäs takes his place among an exclusive group of Swedish recipients of the Humboldt Research Award, which includes, among others, Kai Siegbahn (1986), Joseph Nordgren (2006) and Börje Johansson (2017).
Peter Langguth, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität
"Hans Lennernäs' research group shows with repeated success how findings from pure biomedical research can result in the development of applications that can be used in practice. That the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung now gives us the opportunity to further combine Professor Lennernäs' extensive knowledge of the healing processes of intestinal tissue with our own expertise in drug delivery undoubtedly strengthens our chances of success," states Peter Langguth.
Professor Lennernäs has published 270 scientific articles (as of August 2022) and is the receiver of several national and international awards, among them Uppsala University's Hjärnäpplet innovation award and the 2020 APS Award from the English Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Lennernäs' long-standing collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Swedish Food Agency and the University of Michigan, among other things, formed the basis of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System – a system to differentiate pharmaceutical drugs on the basis of their solubility and permeability that is currently used by the WHO as well as authorities around the world.
Magnus Alsne
The Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung gives up to 100 Humboldt Research Awards each year to internationally leading researchers in all disciplines in recognition of their academic merit.
The award is named after the German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859)

Marfrig an official sponsor FIFA World Cup in S. Africa
15-04-2010 | Home | News
Moy Park, as part of the Marfrig sponsorship, is proud to announce its involvement in the sponsorship of this year's FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa.
The name of British chicken producer Moy Park will flash up around the pitch throughout the matches involving England, France and the Netherlands. The sponsorship is part of parent company Marfrig's wider sponsorship of the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
"Moy Park is delighted to be involved in such a prestigious event as the FIFA World Cup," says Moy Park CEO Nigel Dunlop. "Chicken is good for everyone and high on the list of foods that athletes eat because it's one of the richest sources of energy-giving protein. It is also low in fat and cholesterol and contains many important vitamins and minerals that help bodies repair themselves – ideal after 90 mins on the pitch."
Moy Park is a provider of fresh, high quality, locally farmed chicken and is recognised as one of the largest growers of organic, free-range and corn fed birds, says the company. It supplies own label and branded chicken products to leading retail and foodservice customers across Europe.
A sister brand from the Marfrig group – Seara – will be the main sponsor of all matches at the World Cup. The agreement, which takes effect immediately and lasts until the World Cup to be hosted by Brazil in 2014, was signed by the president of FIFA, Joseph S. Blatter, and the CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Marfrig Group, Marcos Antonio Molina dos Santos.
