Liverpool v Sheffield United
It is "unrealistic" to expect Liverpool to emulate the achievements of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' by going unbeaten through the entire 2019-20 Premier League season, says John Barnes.
Jurgen Klopp's side have safely navigated 20 hurdles so far.

The Reds have dropped just two points along the way and sit 13 clear at the top of the table.
A first top-flight title in 30 years is now well within reach, and getting over that line remains the priority for all concerned at Anfield.
Barnes believes no attention will be given to going unbeaten, having already made it through 12 months without coming unstuck, as silverware is all that matters at this stage.
The Reds legend told talKSPORT: "Until the league is won, going through the season unbeaten is not on anybody's mind at Liverpool, it's not on my mind.
"I don't think it will be done. Of course it can be, because Liverpool are playing in a way where they are not losing matches.
"But we've still got to play Tottenham away, Manchester United at home, Manchester City away and on any given day these teams can beat us.
"So to expect us to go through the season unbeaten I think is unrealistic. Not that we can't, I just don't think we will."

Arsenal raised the bar back in 2003-04 when making it through a 38-game campaign unblemished.
Their unbeaten run was eventually stretched to 49 games, with that another record that Liverpool have in their sights.
Ex-Gunners star Martin Keown sees no reason why the Reds should not be looking to replicate those efforts, with Klopp's side boasting many of the qualities that Aresne Wenger's side once did.
He said: "You might lose other games in other competitions, as they have done, but you have that extra shell, a coating, an armour, that you're really proud about the run.
"There is never an inquest to a defeat, because there isn't one! In one whole year they've ever had to look at one another with that disappointment.
"When I was in that dressing room with those players I'd look around and say, 'I'd go to war with you guys'. That attitude is unique!
"You look around and think, how long can we keep achieving this? And there will be a concern that if they lose a game that they could lose a couple, but they're in the zone. It's quite remarkable form."
Liverpool's attention will turn to FA Cup matters on Sunday when they take in a third round derby date with Everton, but a return to Premier League action will see the focus narrowed by a trip to Tottenham and a visit from arch-rivals Manchester United.


My first novel, High Fidelity, is about the lost but fiercely snobby people who used to sell us our music, back in the day when music was something you could touch and see and probably smell, as well as hear. (If I had been told, when I was writing it, that within a decade you'd be able to email a song, I'd have presumed that this meant you could also email a sandwich.) The book is now 20 years old, and the technological innovations of the last 15 years should by rights have made it look like a story about blacksmiths, or milkmen, or some other profession that has been murdered in cold blood by the modern world.
I have, from time to time, considered writing a sequel to the book. Rob and his long-suffering girlfriend Laura seemed emblematic of a certain kind of contemporary relationship — Rob confused and drifting, Laura focused and several years further on into adulthood. Maybe it would be interesting to see how they were getting on as they approached middle age.
Did they have kids? Were they still together? What was Rob up to now? The answers to the first two questions were up to me (I reckon yes and no), but I could never come up with an answer to the third, or at least, not one that interested me enough to spend a couple of years of my life exploring.
Around the time that High Fidelity was published, there were hints that the music business would be changing, like shifting sand underneath the feet of nearly everyone involved, and that would include record store owners, and their record geek employees too, no doubt. It was hard to imagine, in 1995, that you'd be able to buy music with just a simple click on a keyboard, but that day eventually arrived and we're sure everyone realizes now just how different everything is when it comes to buying music, just like the bookstores have had to resist the rise of popularity in online destinations like Amazon, to mention just one example.

Spectrum Dispatch
Portfolio: Intergalactic Aerospace Expo
This Galactic Guide originally appeared in Jump Point 4.11.
For spacecraft enthusiast Audrey Timmerman, Lo was the ideal place to grow up. Every day, a wide array of ships would make the trip into atmosphere from the bustling spacelanes above. Family members recalled Audrey spending her nights staring out the window of their flat in the Walden Towers housing development and identifying ships as they flew past solely on the configuration of their running lights. In an interview with the Terra Gazette, Timmerman couldn't recall what first got her interested in aviation: "I don't remember one specific 'ah-ha' moment. That love was just always there."
Timmerman came from a family of modest means who couldn't afford to own a ship, but her parents indulged her passion by taking her to New Junction's bustling trade port to watch the ships take off and land. In 2656, Timmerman eagerly joined the Navy with dreams of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, her piloting skill lagged behind those who already had years of flight experience.
Still, her vast knowledge of ships and eye for detail did not go unnoticed. She became a mechanic and rose through the ranks to became a pit chief aboard the frigate UEEN Solis. Assigned to patrol the Perry Line, the Solis spent its time as a mobile support ship for UEE strike fighters that monitored the Xi'an jump points. She described it as 'long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of terror,' but that changed one day when a flight of fighters brought back something from their patrol: wreckage of a Xi'an ship. While Timmerman was intimately familiar with Banu ships from her childhood in Corel, seeing the Xi'an's unique design approach was both fascinating and inspiring for her.
After ending her Naval service, Timmerman returned to New Junction and opened Intergalactic Aerospace Repairs in 2667. The shop quickly garnered a reputation for being able to fix just about anything. In her off hours, Timmerman devoted herself to her true passion, trying to reverse engineer the Xi'an tech she had seen in the Navy. Relations between the two species were antagonistic at the time, so it was impossible as a civilian to get her hands on Xi'an tech, leaving her nothing but memories and ingenuity to work with.
In 2670, Timmerman finished installing Xi'an-inspired maneuverable thrusters on Poby, an old Aurora she named after her cat. Afraid to test fly the ship on a heavily populated planet, Timmerman and fellow aerospace enthusiasts loaded Poby and a number of other heavily modified ships onto a transporter and flew to the nearly desolate planet of Castor to test fly them. Though it was an informal gathering, historians now considered it to be the very first Intergalactic Aerospace Expo.
Poby's first flight was a disappointment, as a power surge fried a number of her experimental thrusters. Timmerman wasn't deterred by the failure — quite the opposite, she was energized by the process, and it wasn't long before this group of experimental spacecraft enthusiasts were meeting regularly to discuss and examine various mods they were building. The annual test flights on Castor became a tradition and grew in popularity over the years.
One of the members of the group was Steffon Dillard, owner of Steffon's Ship Emporium in New Junction. He recognized the popularity of the annual gathering and approached Timmerman about sponsoring the event. He would provide the latest ships for the enthusiasts to check out in person, and hopefully make some sales in the process. Timmerman agreed and, needing a name to put on the ads Dillard was creating, decided to borrow from her own company to get the name Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE).
Over the next decade, the event became large enough that other retail outlets and parts manufacturers were eager to show off their own goods at the expo. Once that happened, it wasn't long before the major ship manufacturers took notice. In 2683, RSI became an official sponsor of the IAE and has been one ever since. Each year, more and more sponsors and booths appeared at the event.
Purists decried its corporatization, but Timmerman vehemently justified the expansion. To her the Expo hadn't sold out; it had adapted and improved. Her final act was to create a nonprofit to officially manage the event, and ensure a large percentage of the revenue went to a charity Timmerman created called Simpod Pals, whose mission was to give underprivileged children the opportunity to learn how to fly.
Spooling Up
In 2847, the board of directors made the decision to rotate the location of the IAE each year. The public explanation was that it would give more people the chance to experience the universe's premier aerospace event.
Numerous systems clamored to host the event and enjoy the economic windfall that came with it. The event hopscotched from planet to planet for the next few decades until the 2913 event in Ferron was almost canceled due to Asura's inability to meet the minimum hangar and power standards outlined by the IAE's contract. Shortly after this scare, the IAE board was contacted by Governor Joona Tzur of Severus about bringing the event to the Kiel System. IAE officials were impressed with his presentation, but more so with the facilities his planet could offer. Severus contained numerous hangars (initially built and used by the military), plenty of available landing pads, and more than sufficient accommodations for visitors. After impressing the IAE board with Kiel's facilities, Tzur went in for the kill. He offered to make vast upgrades and improvements to the existing facilities if the IAE agreed to make Severus the event's permanent home. Still reeling from the Ferron controversy, the board of directors took a vote and approved the proposal. The IAE has been based in Kiel ever since. UPDATE: In 2948, the IAE hosted their first ever satellite Expo from the Desmond Memorial Convention Center in Lorville, Hurston. The inaugural event was scheduled to run concurrently with the main Expo in Kiel and feature many of the same ships and vendors.
The Intergalactic Aerospace Expo has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Castor. Due to insurance and legal issues, it's no longer about amateurs test flying experimental ships. Instead, renowned pilots like Chelsea Yan and members of the Navy's famed 'Wreckless' Squadron 999 dazzle attendees with impressive flight maneuvers, while ship and component manufacturers unveil their latest wares. At its core though, the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo is made for those young dreamers who find themselves staring up at the sky to count running lights.

I'd like to make a huge, huge THANK YOU to my first two followers, the lovely Pixie and Charlotte! I may have squealed out loud when I saw that I had not one, but two followers! It can be a bit daunting starting out, so thank you!
A great big bear hug and thank you to Nina from Tabiboo, too, who left me a lovely comment the other day, which I really appreciated!
Thank you all so much, it means a lot to me!
I'm not really sure what this thing called "time" is. Although right now is about right. Dog on my lap, boys in bed.

Taking 12th Grade Math Opens Doors to Higher Education, Research Finds

Taking 12th Grade Math Opens Doors to Higher Education, Research Finds UCLA-led study following nearly 27,000 L.A. Unified students yields insights that can help inform education policy
January 18, 2023 /0 Comments/in For Faculty, For Policymakers, For Students, For Undergraduates, Public Policy, Public Policy News, School of Public Affairs Meredith Phillips /by Mary Braswell
Students who take math in the 12th grade improve their chances of enrolling and continuing in higher education, according to a new report by the Los Angeles Education Research Institute at UCLA.
In partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the institute's researchers followed the educational journeys of nearly 27,000 students beginning in the 11th grade. Those who took a full year of math in the 12th grade were more likely to enroll in a four-year college and return for a second year, compared with academically similar peers who did not take math, the study found.
The report yields several findings that can inform current debates over education policy in California, said Meredith Phillips, co-founder of the institute known as LAERI, which is housed at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.
One key takeaway is the importance of a robust curriculum that allows all students to continue their math education into their senior year, said Phillips, whose research focuses on the causes and consequences of educational inequality.
"School staff, parents and other adults would be wise to encourage students to take these courses, which open up college opportunities and a path to longer-term social and economic mobility," she said.
The University of California and Cal State systems recommend but do not require a fourth year of high school math for freshman applicants. However, those who take math in the 12th grade may have an advantage in a competitive admissions process, particularly on campuses that no longer consider SAT or ACT test scores, the researchers noted.
"Enrollment in 12th grade math may also expose students to a peer group that is more college-focused, motivating them to pursue higher education," said Leonard Wainstein, a visiting assistant professor at Reed College who served as the report's lead analyst.
About a quarter of the students in the study did not take math in 12th grade. To determine whether specific groups of students were less likely than their peers to enroll in these courses, the researchers examined differences by gender, ethnicity, English proficiency and socioeconomic status. The findings can be used to inform L.A. Unified staff about whether particular types of students need more encouragement to take math or more access to 12th grade math courses.
The study, which followed high school students who were academically similar at the end of their junior year, identified benefits from taking any kind of math class in 12th grade, including traditional offerings such as precalculus or alternatives such as statistics or data science.
Even though students who took 12th grade math experienced a very slight reduction in their overall grade point average, the researchers identified positive effects on college enrollment and persistence.
The study was funded by the Oakland-based nonprofit College Futures Foundation and conducted by researchers affiliated with LAERI, which has collaborated with L.A. Unified for more than 10 years to produce research that district decision-makers and educators use to improve educational quality and equity in Los Angeles.
The research team includes Wainstein, a former postdoctoral scholar at UCLA Luskin; Carrie Miller, LAERI's associate director and a PhD candidate at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies; Phillips, associate professor of public policy and sociology at UCLA and faculty director of LAERI; Kyo Yamashiro, an assistant professor of education at Loyola Marymount University who co-founded LAERI with Phillips and served as the founding executive director; and Tatiana Melguizo, professor at the USC Rossier School of Education and the Pullias Center for Higher Education.
The researchers will follow up with a second report this year that looks more closely at college performance among a subset of the former L.A. Unified students.

Case: Zhejiang Mr. Wang complained that the power cord installation to lay a groove, the cord also paved, but there is a cord without protection tube, I think the future if it is harder for the cord, but the construction side says it is normal .
Analysis: According to existing regulations, this jerry-wire installation is wrong.
1, the distribution box after the table should be based on the indoor household electrical wiring devices with different power supply, respectively; high-power appliances should be independent of the wiring installation socket.
2, wiring, phase and neutral colors should be different; the same residential phase (L) color should be uniform, neutral (N) is preferred blue cord of protection (PE) must be yellow and green cords.
3, the circuit piping, wiring and electrical construction, lighting installation in addition to compliance with this requirement, there should be consistent with existing national standards and norms.
4, when the completion of the project should be completed by the owners to provide electrical engineering diagram.
1, electrical appliances, electrical specifications, models should meet the design requirements and current national standards of the relevant provisions of electrical products.
2, electrical appliances, electrical packaging should be intact, the appearance should not be damaged materials, accessories, spare parts should be complete. Plastic wire protection tube and junction box must be flame-retardant product, appearance should not be damaged and deformed.
3, is a junction box and wire protection tube should not be folded flat and the appearance of cracks in the tube should be no burr, the nozzle should be smooth.
4, the communication system of terminal box, junction box and power distribution system switches, sockets, should use the same products.
1, when the power cord wiring, the cross-sectional area with a wire electrical equipment should meet the maximum output power.
2, dark cord piping must be laid. When the pipe length exceeds 15m, or two right-angle bend, pull boxes should be added.
3, the same circuit wires should be penetrated with a tube, but the total number of roots inside the pipe should not be more than 8, the total wire cross-sectional area (including Insulation) pipe cross-sectional area should not exceed 40%.
4, power cords and communication cords shall not be penetrated with a tube.
5, power cords and TV cable and socket outlet with horizontal spacing of not less than 500mm.
6, penetration piping wire connector should be located in the junction box, lap joints should be firm, should be wrapped with insulation even close.
7, install a wall socket, socket for the left should be the zero cord (N), the right side should be connected to phase cord (L), the top should take to protect the middle ground (PE).
8, kitchen, bathroom splash outlet should be installed, the switch should be installed at the door on the side of the wall.

Cho leaves top Olympic job
Hanjin Group's chairman Cho Yang-ho stepped down from his position as the president of the PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games on Tuesday. Cho's intention behind his resignation is to focus on salvaging his company from ongoing problems. [NEWSIS]
Cho Yang-ho has resigned as president and CEO of the PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games (Pocog).
Cho, who is also the chairman for the Hanjin Group, relinquished his management of the group's container carrier division, Hanjin Shipping, last month to allow its creditors to restructure the shipping company that is struggling with operating losses.
Cho is leaving the top job at the winter games organizing body to focus on the group. "After stepping down from his office at Pocog, Cho will work to deal with urgent issues that the Group is facing," the Hanjin Group announced on Tuesday. "Cho and the Group will work closely with the creditors to normalize the management of Hanjin Shipping."
To fill in the vacancy, the former minister of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) Lee Hee-beom has been nominated for the position, according to the Pocog on Tuesday.
Born in Andong, North GyeongSang, Lee graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in electrical engineering. After passing the civil service exam in 1972, he's served as the MOTIE minister from December 2003 to February 2006.
Currently, Lee works as an advisor for LG International. With less than two years to go until the winter games, Pocog will have to rely on new leadership to pull off a successful Winter Olympics.
Cho was active in PyeongChang's successful bid to host the winter games over Munich and Annecy.
He assumed the top position of Pocog in August 2014 to oversee preparations for the winter games. During the following two year period while he headed Pocog, Cho has helped the organizing body with many issues.
In particular, critical issues such as the delayed venue construction, a dispute on the location of Olympic Stadium, marketing sponsorship recruitment and the controversy over moving venues following Olympic Agenda 2020 were resolved under his watch, according to Pocog's statement.
In addition, Olympics test events such as the FIS Alpine World Cup at the new Jeongseon Alpine Centre in February 2016 were carried out successfully, despite many doubts that the construction of the venue would not be completed on schedule.
"For the past two years, I have truly put forward my very best efforts to work with every member of the Organizing Committee to prepare a successful Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2018," said Cho. "I can proudly say that Pocog has become a strong team, and the challenges we have overcome have allowed us to achieve success at our first official test events this past February.
"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Korean people for their support of PyeongChang 2018," added Cho.
"I also thank the central government, Gangwon Province, the International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee, Korean Olympic Committee, Korea Paralympic Committee and all the international and national federations for their cooperation.
"More than anything else, I am deeply grateful for the passion and dedication of each and every employee of Pocog under my leadership. I am confident that Pocog and the new leadership will move forward towards a successful 2018 Winter Games. I give my assurances that I will continue to support PyeongChang through to the Games in 2018," said Cho.
Cho's absence from the organizing body is a major loss for Pocog. Cho's resignation, which went into effect immediately, was not anticipated by the organizing body. "Hanjin Group is in a predicament by the situation with Hanjin Shipping," said an official from Pocog. "It is our understanding that Cho decided on his resignation in less than a week."

Water purifiers have become an absolute necessity these days. People invest in the best water purifier with double purification technology irrespective of the UV, UF or RO water purifier price. That is because the conventional water purifiers remove the natural ingredients and nutrients of the water in addition to removing the impurities. For this reason, the water from conventional water purifier tastes stale and is also not good for your health. Cheap water purifiers are efficient at removing the impuritieslike pesticides and chemicals that are dissolved in water. This is why the need for double purification technology has become crucial.
Double purification technology uses both RO and UV technology to clean water in a single purifier. This kind of water purifiers dispenses the purest form of water that is far better in quality than the ones that use single technology to purify water. One of the most popular brands that use the double purification technology is Kent.
Kent purifiers not only use double purification technology to eliminate every kind of harmful substance in water, but they also retain the natural minerals and nutrients in water by using a TDS controller. So,water from such purifiers tastes better than other purifiers.
Clean Water-The most obvious benefit of using a water purifier with double purification technology is that you get access to clean drinking water. Such purifiersclean the water in two levels using two of the most trusted technologies –Reverse Osmosis technology (RO technology) and UV technology. The result that we get is water in it cleanest and purest form.
High Water Storage Capacity- For big families or houses in areas where power cuts are frequent, these water purifiers can be of great use. The large storage tank generally means lesser consumption of electricity. That is because you do not have to switch it on every time you need water because a lot of water is already stored. Such double purification UV- RO water purifier price is quite reasonable to invest in.
Sleek and Stylish in Design- Most advanced water purifiers that use double purification technology like the ones from Kent are very stylish in terms of design. These purifiers are available in both table-top and wall mounting models so that you can opt for anything as per your convenience. They also have detachable water tanks that make it easier for you to clean and maintain the water purifier.
Save a Lot of Water– These water purifiers waste less water when compared to the conventional RO purifiers. They help to save up to 50% of water that is purified. The water purifier also has a separate tank where the discarded water is stored. You can use this water for other domestic cleaning purposes.
Check the latest double purification UV-RO water purifier price today and buy the best model that suits your needs.

5 Common Misconceptions About Deep Learning
These Canadian Businesses Are Going Above And Beyond To Help Refugees
B.C. Trade Missions Fail To Deliver The Bang For The Buck
Deep learning is the buzzword of the moment inside tech circles and as the public plugs into what this breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) means for the future of technology, a number of common misconceptions have emerged. Below, our machine learning experts at Architech Labs clear up some of the confusion.
1. Deep learning systems learn like babies.
To compare deep learning systems to babies implies that the systems will grow and mature over time by themselves, but that's not how it works. A more accurate way to use this analogy is to describe the research — not the systems themselves — as being in its infancy stage. Much like a first-time parent, we're still in the primary phase of understanding how everything operates.
2. Deep neural networks learn like the brain.
The artificial neural nets in deep learning systems are only loosely inspired by the biological neural nets in the human brain. Though much of the terminology applied to deep learning — such as neurons or activations, for example — are borrowed from brain research, the way both systems work, respectively, are very different.
A good way to illustrate this point is to compare deep learning "brains" to the brains of human children — at least what we know of both so far (and the truth is we don't know that much). One of the major differences is that human children can explore the world and form knowledge on their own without any external teaching. Armed with this unsupervised knowledge, children can then break down the requirement of any tasks into sub-goals and take action to accomplish them.
To date, deep learning hasn't been able to match this capability: their systems need to be taught exactly what to learn, what is what, and what to do once the learning is done. Researchers are working on improving these models but we aren't there yet.
3. Artificial intelligence presents an existential threat to the human race.
We all remember the scene in the original Jurassic Park when Jeff Goldblum's scientist character utters the immortal line: "[S]cientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." More than two decades later, Tesla mastermind Elon Musk delivered an updated warning when he told a crowd at the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department's Centennial Symposium that AI posed the greatest existential threat known to humans and compared what we're doing with technology to "summoning the demon."
This is a far cry from dystopian territory, but it presents enough of an issue around privacy and coercion to warrant serious discussion.
More moderate thinkers, like AI expert Thomas G. Dietterich of Oregon State University, have highlighted both the benefits and the risks involved in our increasing dependency on AI and what scenarios could hypothetically arise in the future. And it's been a long-running statistical parlour game amongst experts to predict just when that human-comparable AI era will emerge. At present, median estimates hover somewhere around 2040-2050.
While it's valid to make the argument that technological advancement can suddenly explode in one instance and usher in the terrifying unknown (otherwise known as technological singularity), you could make the same predictive argument about any aspect of the human race: population explosion, raw material and energy consumption, pandemics, natural disasters, debt, social inequality, nuclear war — and that's just the short list.
On the brighter side of the argument, deep learning has already given us far better tools to tackle the problems listed above like better access to information, more advanced tools to design new medications, and incredibly sophisticated models to conduct and synthesize scientific research across an almost unlimited breadth of subfields.
But it's also important to acknowledge the potential risks and keep them in mind as we determine the degree to which we invite AI into our lives. At present, people are already dubious about the way major technology companies are mining our search engine data "under the hood" in order to spam our email and social media feeds with hyper-targeted marketing. This is a far cry from dystopian territory, but it presents enough of an issue around privacy and coercion to warrant serious discussion. As with any new technology, whether it's biotech, nanotech, or autonomous vehicles, it's important to identify future risks and use these hypothetical scenarios to present the need for a new framework and significant debate around their ethical use.
4. Deep neural networks already have an understanding of the world similar to humans.
Today's best deep neural networks have the ability to organize knowledge in a semantically coherent fashion by learning from lots of examples with supervision. For instance, when a deep learning computer is fed a massive body of text, like the entire content of Wikipedia, it can learn from analogous equations such as: king — man + woman = queen; or France — Paris + London = England. But despite how impressive this is, the systems are still far from understanding the world in the intuitive way humans do.
The ultimate goal, then, is to reach the point where the computers understand the world in a way that's similar to our understanding, so we can use them in ways that are also intuitive to us. A good example of this is through the way we currently engage with search engines. When we're looking for information, we tend to type exact keywords into the search bar that we anticipate the machine may or may not understand. Compare that to the way we would ask an actual person for the same information. We tend to communicate well with other humans because we have a shared understanding of the world.
Major search engines are already building natural language understanding into their programs that will give users the ability to speak to their computer for a request instead of plugging in isolated keywords. As far as we've come in this area, however, we're still a long way off from making this human-computer intuitive communication a reality.
5. AI-powered robots will soon have self-awareness.
TechRadar recently published an article that reported a robot had passed the so-called "self-awareness test." In the test, roboticists at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York programmed a trio of robots: one that was given the ability to speak, while the two other robots were rendered mute. The researchers then asked the robots which one of them could talk. The purpose was to see if the machines could figure it out themselves. Each of the three robots tried to answer, "I don't know." The two robots who couldn't speak were unable to reply. The robot that heard its own voice was able to self-identify as the one with a voice and replied, "Sorry, I know now!"
Readers without a deeper understanding of the experiment's context used these results to verify their theories that the machine revolution is imminent. But Yann LeCun, one of the pioneers of deep learning and current Director of AI Research at Facebook, was swift to dismiss the hysteria and reassure the human race that AI is "nowhere near" a self-aware state.

How Remi Lubcher Snipped and Styled Custom College Wear into a Career
When the fashion industry was lacking in creative college apparel, Remi Lubcher responded by building Snipped and Styled, one of the original college tailgate and everyday wear brands that have inspired a new trend for students.

Snipped and Styled features cut up and redesigned shirts, joggers, sweatshirts and bandeaus that have transformed the way millennial and Gen Z students represent their campuses. Each piece is handmade and unique, hence the brand's motto: one of a kind clothes for one of a kind girls.
"I feel like that's what's shaped the brand," Lubcher said. "That each piece is unique and different, and that each girl is unique and different, and not everything can be manufactured."
Her inspiration for the brand developed when she committed to Syracuse University in 2014. Unsatisfied with the bookstore apparel options, she decided to cut up and style a look that better fit her personality.
After wearing her new piece on decision day, she received amazing feedback from her friends and classmates. That was when she began cutting more shirts, and the brand took off.
Snipped and Styled now makes appearances at trunk shows, boutiques and retail stores, including Vanilla Sky and Mixology.
Credit: @snippedandstyled
With over 12 thousand followers on Instagram, Snipped and Styled drives traffic into retail stores, providing customers with the perfect opportunity to pair a Snipped and Styled top with a trendy new pair of jeans.
When COVID-19 hit, all in-person events were canceled, and Lubcher had to pivot the brand into a 100 percent digital and e-commerce platform.
"I have my website that is live every single day, but I wanted to make it more of an immersive experience in a way that I could connect with my consumers," Lubcher said.
As juniors and seniors in high school were losing opportunities to tour prospective campuses, Lubcher launched the Instagram Live Series, "College Power Hours." Every Tuesday and Thursday, she partners with a student and an alum from a college, and dedicates an entire hour to answering consumer questions and helping prospective students understand what school might be the right fit for them.
"It's how we're being a lifestyle brand and almost acting like a big sister for people who don't necessarily know someone on a college campus," Lubcher said. "We want to be that big sister figure for them to lean on."
Over 20 sessions have been posted so far, and Lubcher said she hopes to continue this new project even after the pandemic.
Building connections with consumers and starting with an original idea are two factors that contributed to the brand's growth over the last six years.
"I think that being the first [custom college apparel brand] allowed me to establish myself and kind of develop this whole brand and category in and of itself," Lubcher said. "From there, we've always been authentic, honest and open with our consumers on Instagram. I think that's something that everyone can see and the reason why not only have we continued to grow, but we've kept our followers from way back when, in 2014."
Lubcher is the founder and CEO, but with increasing demand from consumers, she has hired a team to help her with cutting shirts, responding to emails and managing social media. While she studied abroad in Barcelona, the company ran entirely out of Syracuse with the help of her staff on campus.
While Lubcher started Snipped and Styled before she went to college, she never intended for it to become a full-time job.
After graduating from Syracuse, where she majored in advertising at the Newhouse School of Public Communications and minored in entrepreneurship, she began working at 360i, a media agency where she does advertising for Saks Fifth Avenue.
"It's something I love and I went to school for, and it's given me a lot of structure in my day-to-day [life]," Lubcher said. "But running the business, it just fulfills me so much and all the girls who work for me and my whole team, so it's totally something I could do full time. But right now, I'm able to do, essentially, two full-time jobs. So that's what I've been doing."
The support and expansion of Snipped and Styled fulfilled Lubcher, but she said her favorite part is interacting and connecting with her customers.
"I've had the opportunity to engage and meet them and message them, and that's definitely my favorite thing," Lubcher said. "It's so rewarding, it's so special and it's something I love."

L'energia a Cap Verd és una indústria d'electricitat sense gaire capacitat de creixement que no sigui la indústria elèctrica termal causa de la petita àrea del país.

Electricitat
Al 2001, les illes van produir i consumir 0,04 bilions de kWh d'electricitat, totalment de fonts tèrmiques. La potència instal·lada va ser al voltant 7 MW l'1 de gener de 2001. Electra, l'empresa d'electricitat pública, manté les centrals tèrmiques de Praia, Mindelo, i Sal; els consells locals operen 12 centrals d'energia rurals. Deu generadors de vent de 30 kW cadascun estaven en funcionament a Mindelo el 1991.

Petroli i gas
Com que Cap Verd no té reserves de cru o de capacitat de refinació de petroli, l'1 de gener de 2003, el país ha d'importar tots els seus productes de petroli. Al 2002, les importacions i el consum de petroli van totalitzar 8.870 barrils per dia. El país no té una producció coneguda o consum de gas natural, a partir de 2001, i l'1 de gener de 2003, no es coneixen reserves de gas natural.

BNSF Railway is banking that its BIG intermodal bet will pay off: Analysis
By Bill Stephens | December 10, 2022
The planned $1.5 billion Barstow International Gateway will protect BNSF's crown jewel, its Southern Transcon intermodal traffic
An eastbound BNSF Railway international intermodal train that originated at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach climbs Cajon Pass in California in September 2021. Bill Stephens
Can a railroad single-handedly preserve the intermodal dominance of North America's biggest port complex? BNSF Railway is making a $1.5 billion bet that the answer is yes.
The railroad announced on Oct. 1 that it will build a massive new intermodal facility in Barstow, Calif., to expedite the handling of freight imported and exported through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The stakes are high for the San Pedro Bay ports, which have seen their share of imported cargo fall over the past decade, a trend that was accelerated by pandemic-related congestion that made national headlines. The stakes are high for BNSF, too, because its intermodal fortunes are intertwined with how competitive the ports are.
Many of the containers that land at the ports are bound for destinations outside of the L.A. Basin, mostly in the Midwest and Texas. The lion's share of that freight rides BNSF stack trains to inland points.
These containers don't have to enter the U.S. through L.A. and Long Beach. They could just as easily be routed to ports on the East Coast, Gulf Coast, or British Columbia. And that's exactly what's been happening.
The San Pedro Bay port complex has been losing market share to up-and-coming ports that have proven to be more fluid and less costly. BNSF's new sorting hub — the Barstow International Gateway, or BIG for short — is designed to halt this trend and protect the railroad's intermodal business.
BNSF has a knack for understatement. BIG is too small a word for a one-of-a-kind 4,500-acre facility that will be built on land BNSF owns on the dusty outskirts of Barstow, an important junction town with a long railroad history.
The Barstow International Gateway project will speed freight movement across the country, BNSF says. BNSF Railway
BIG will include an intermodal terminal, support yard, and warehouses where freight will be transloaded from international containers into domestic boxes before being put back on trains. At full buildout, BIG will be more than twice the size of BNSF's sprawling logistics parks in Chicago and at Alliance, Texas. The facility will handle two million containers annually, a figure equal to 36% of BNSF's 2021 intermodal volume.
The idea behind BIG is that it will reduce the amount of time containers spend waiting on the docks and eliminate the 80-mile dray moves for freight that's currently trucked from the ports to the Inland Empire for transloading before being trucked to one of BNSF's intermodal terminals for the trip east.
Currently, containers are taken off ships, stacked on the docks, and eventually loaded on well cars. Intermodal veteran Ted Prince notes that the largest ships can carry enough containers to fill seven trains. So some boxes have to wait for six trains to get loaded and depart before they get their chance to move inland. The process is so slow, he says, that freight transloaded into domestic container can arrive in Memphis before those long-lingering international boxes even leave the dock.
At the Port of Long Beach, Calif., containers are lifted off the YM Upward and placed on the dock, where autonomous straddle cranes stack the containers to await placement on rail cars. Bill Stephens
Stacks of containers wait to be loaded onto trains at the Port of Los Angeles in September 2021. Bill Stephens
BIG promises to change this. Containers will be loaded directly from ship to rail. Existing BNSF trains will haul them through the Alameda Corridor and up the BNSF main to Barstow. Once there, the containers will take one of two paths. They'll either be sorted by destination and loaded on eastbound trains or their cargo will be transloaded into domestic containers at on-site warehouses, then catch eastbound trains.
Trains Columnist Bill Stephens
This will reduce congestion at the San Pedro Bay ports, effectively increasing their capacity and efficiency while nearly eliminating drayage costs for transload cargo. The ports say all this will make them more competitive with East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. And what's good for the ports is good for BNSF.
Also in the railroad's favor: BIG's advantages may attract even more international container lines to BNSF's rails. BIG will be a magnet for transload centers for big retailers like Walmart. And that, in turn, will feed the transload pipeline of BNSF intermodal partner J.B. Hunt.
BNSF will get an operational boost from BIG, too. BIG will assemble westbounds to match track lengths of BNSF's terminals at Hobart and San Bernardino, which will reduce switching moves on the main.
There's no timeline yet for construction, and BNSF says permitting may take a few years. But it's clear that once BIG is up and running it could be a game-changer for BNSF, the only railroad you can imagine investing $1.5 billion in a single project.

Maynard Stowe says:
If the Alameda Corridor is to become a quick transfer to Barstow, and given So Cal need to improve air quality; wouldn't it make sense to electrify it? Use it to run many fixed length transfers. Also if this is so good for the port, why didn't they come up with a straight out in the desert for both BNSF and UP and use the corridor as a sort of rapid transit for containers. This would free up lots of expensive high tax close in land for development. This seems like a perfect kind of public-private partnership opertunity.
Philip Mulligan says:
Another point about the location near the new (1970's) Barstow Yard is that the line from the Bay Area comes there too. That traffic can also be sliced and diced at BIG.
Gregg Spindler says:
All this happy talk about BIG supposes imports from China (the vast majority) and east Asia remain stable or increase. Given the state of geopolitics, I am not sure what the state of globalized trade and supply chains might look like. Surely 10 years ago few were thinking about a trade war with China, a hot proxy war with Russia and the huge changes in the energy markets. China's military power will challenge the US in the coming decade, while the US struggles on multiple fronts.
James Giblin says:
Mr. Spindler not sure your comments are especially relevant. Everyone in North America is making more or less the same bet as BNSF is making in Barstow. Canada, Mexico, east coast, west coast, take your pick, are all making the same kinds of large-scale infrastructure investments to handle imports. The reality is that southern California is built out and everything is landlocked.
Since I was personally involved with the border business at Santa Fe, I would point out that San Diego remains the second busiest border crossing after Laredo and the largest one without direct rail intermodal service. I still think Barstow's operational capacity may hold the key to solving that conundrum.
Braden Kayganich says:
Your border crossing information if refering to freight is incorrect.. After Laredo Detroit is the 2nd busiest border crossing for freight. When it comes only to Mexican crossings El Paso is the second busiest.
The discussion had been about the US-Mexico border. Barstow is a lot closer to Mexico than Canada. BTS data for 2019 gives Otay Mesa a slight edge in volume (less than one percent share) over El Paso. BTW what happened to your theory about short haul rail not being viable? Looks like BNSF didn't get your memo.
Next time put context behind busiest crossing's… BTS data from 2021 is available. Otay Mesa is at 3rd place now.. My theory still holds.. Outisde a microcosm of short haul intermodal. Is there massive CAPEX planned for new terminals to capture these short hauls? An don't mention anecdotal low hanging fruit of subsidized port to inland port moves… IS BNSF or anyone else planning on challenging trucks in the market at an average haul of 524 miles(Dry Van and Reefer)for domestic rail serivce? Not hook and haul transloaded ocean freight? ….. Didn't think so.. …
I recall a previous comment you mentioned me in about BNSF starting SHIM Port Houston to DFW.. I guess you missed when UP ran service in the same lane and bowed out…. Hmmm I wonder why?…

Jack Fuller says:
@Richard Andre International containers are either 20 or 40 feet long. I don't believe there are any 45s or 48s.
If containers are loaded mill run to BIG, what of the pieces that are either direct to customers in the Basin, or are transloaded in the basin? Will they ride a train back to the Basin? Or be drayed?
So there is indeed an initial sort at the Ports – even as there is now, between the various local destinations. The pieces are placed in destination-related stacks at the Ports. About 30-35% go directly from the Ports by rail.
There is much transloading of pieces at warehouses, from 40-foor International to 53-foot domestic. In that process, the goods themselves are sorted at the warehouse, even as UPS sorts its shipments at its internal hubs.
$1,500,000,000 is a very big bet on continued congestion at the Ports – which doesn't seem to be happening now. Today, it is Savannah that is congested. Tomorrow? Who knows? The economics of riding a vessel all the way to the east coast from the East is not pretty.
Vessels want to call at LA and LB because there are – what? – 30,000,000? – people living within 300 miles of the Ports.
Interesting commentary Mr. Fuller but let's look at the actual record for the last 30 years.
Start with the JBH deal in 1989, then the UPS deal at Willow Springs two years later. Both were major paradigm shirts in the right direction.
Followed by the Alliance – Hillwood deal the next year. It's called a Logistics Park.
Krebs loses out on NS and CN as merger partners but in 2002 Mike Mullen and CenterPoint come along make them an offer they can't refuse on LPC.
Fast forward about 10 years to the Abo Canyon project combined with the Eastern Kansas doubletrack project and BNSF ends up with the first and only double track mainline between Chicago and LA. (Like the song says, 'all the way to Cali-forn-iay.')
Then BNSF buys back the MRL-NP trackage.
In 1996 Krebbs tries to get Mr. Buffet to buy BNSF. He fails but about 15 years later Matt Rose is successful. (And who cares about what Union Pacific did or did not do.)
"In the days to come the Goddess of Victory will bestow her laurels only on those who are prepared to act with daring."
Richard Andre says:
So I guess I didn't know exactly how this is done. International containers are 20, 40 and 45 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 or 9.5 feet high (22 pallets GWR 44,000). Domestic containers are 48 and 53 feet long, 8.2 feet wide and 9.5 feet high (26 pallets GWR 43,500). So I knew they are different but never realized that they have to actually transload between the two at a warehouse somewhere. That seems like a rather weak link in the efficiency of the supply chain.
I have to wonder if using 45 foot ISO containers exclusively would be more efficient. It would have to move things along much quicker. Transloading all of those containers would seem rather laborious.
Landon Rowell says:
This kind of reminds me of when BN built into the Powder River Basin in the 1970s. The new BN had no shortage of potential capital projects and chose to spend a huge amount on one project. I hope this pays off as well as that one did!
Mr. Rowell you may be interested in the views of Matt Rose here. In his last address before the Winter Meeting of the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers in Chicago. Matt said, "we'll never get our money out of the Powder River Basin". PRB coal needed up being a very high maintenance operation with long term limits on revenues.
Matt Rose has been one of the most consistently honest of rail leaders
Kris Gustenhoven says:
intermodal shipment sure is booming
James Shigley says:
This would be a good first step — assuming California regulators are a lot more timely than they have shown. However, what is also needed to unclog the two ports is for the union to agree to international port procedures — 24 hour 7 day a week operation and full automation. Unfortunately, the latter is less likely than the former.
Interesting analogy Mr. Landey. Not bad for an amateur.
BIG also gives BNSF and JBH the ability to serve the growing southern Nevada logistics market.
It also provides an opportunity to reopen the San Diego terminal. Our problem there 30 years ago was the inability to sort by at origin by destination. Now we can mine-run everything out to Barstow and sort there. Let's start taking some trucks off I-5 and I-15.
BIG can also facilitate substituted highway service (IMX) for the produce and wine shippers at Fresno and Modesto. JBH now operates the largest fleet of refrigerated containers in the industry.
BIG is also a great place to store chassis and empty containers regardless of ownership.
BIG opens up a world of possibilities…
Charles Landey says:
My cat Burlington Northern Santa Fe (he answers to "Burlington" and comes when he's called) never stops reminding me that BNSF is run by very smart people. There is an article in today's Wall Street Journal about the twin ports at San Pedro Bay (Los Angles and Long Beach). These have been seeing small declines compared to other ports on the various coasts of North America. These ports may decline slightly but they aren't closing down.
The point of BIG is that containers have to be sorted somewhere. A ship that carries containers from overseas doesn't care where in America the individual boxes ultimately go. That's a problem for Americans to figure out. What BNSF is saying is this: get the containers out of the docks as fast and as cheaply as you can. Sort them somewhere else.
The postal clerk who collects posted mail at a drop box doesn't sort them by destination. He doesn't even look at them. He trucks them to a building where the sorting will begin. Ditto, my neighborhood FedEx store doesn't sort the packages people drop off — instead these packages are gotten onto a truck to be sorted somewhere else. That's what BNSF is saying

This Week In: English Football – Premiership Run-in Resumes After the International Break
March 27, 2013 ~ John Lally	~ Leave a comment
There are just 84 Premiership matches left in this campaign and in the last round of fixtures – played nearly two weeks ago, as there has been a break for World Cup qualifiers – appear to have settled some of the bigger questions surrounding the title race, relegation and European qualification. Manchester City dropped to 15 points behind United in the quest for the Premiership crown, as they were beaten away at Everton for the fourth consecutive season, while their neighbours enjoyed a narrow 1-0 home victory over Reading. That defeat leaves the Royals – who have just appointed former Saints boss, Nigel Adkins, as their new manager – 7 points adrift from safety, level with bottom club Queens Park Rangers, whose own mini-good run of form came to an end with a 3-2 defeat against Aston Villa.
But I'm sure McManaman is not "that type of player"
Wigan boosted their survival hopes by beating Newcastle 2-1, although the victory was marred by a dangerous challenge by Callum McManaman on United defender, Massadio Haidara. Sir Alex Ferguson refers to this period until the end of the Premiership season as "squeaky bum time" – invoking the tension that is felt by clubs as they attempt to avoid…spoiling their seasons – and for the last couple of years, the Latics have dramatically improved their performances in their final ten fixtures – a trend they will need to continue this season if they are to avoid being relegated from the top flight for the first time in their history, as they currently sit three points below Villa in 17th. By contrast, Tottenham appear to once again be shitting themselves as their form has suddenly departed them – a 1-0 home loss against Fulham, a team they had beaten in all of their previous six league meetings – was the third defeat in a week for Andre Villas-Boas's men and they now sit just four points above Arsenal, who beat Swansea 2-0 in South Wales, in the final Champions League qualification spot, with the Gunners having a game in hand. It is not a question of whether Spurs will now finish below their North London rivals – that has always been inevitable, even if most Tottenham fans are only just beginning to accept it – rather whether their form will dip so badly that they will finish below Everton as well and miss out on European football next season all together.

This Week In: English Football – Tottenham's Collapse Begins and the Away Goals Rule
March 15, 2013 ~ John Lally	~ 1 Comment
Buckle up Spurs fans, it's that time of year again
It's become an annual tradition in the English football calendar, like the F.A Cup Final or pictures of crying fans on the final day of the season who have seen their team relegated – at some point each campaign, usually around the time that the balls change back from yellow to white, Tottenham will have a huge dip in form and will throw away the chance of enjoying a (relatively) successful year. Sometimes the collapse is delayed, like in the 2005/6 season, when it was not until the final fixture away at West Ham that Spurs lost and allowed themselves to be overtaken in fourth by Arsenal (of course) after many in the squad had reportedly contracted food poisoning. Last year, the moment when it all started to go wrong can be pinpointed to a specific minute – the 40th of their trip to the Emirates. Leading 2-0 against the Gunners and ahead of them in the table by 10 points, Spurs had a great opportunity to consolidate their position and ensure that, for the first time since 1995, St. Totteringham's Day – the point in the season when Tottenham are guaranteed to finish below their rivals – would not be celebrated by Arsenal fans. Five goals later, momentum swung to the other part of North London and the Lilywhites ended the season in fourth place, missing out on a Champions League berth when Chelsea won the competition in Munich. It was the type of thing that could only happen to Spurs – indeed when Everton finished fourth in 2004/5 and Liverpool took Europe's top trophy, UEFA allowed both sides in to give England five representatives the following campaign, but then changed the rules to ensure that did not happen again.
This year's downfall for Tottenham began at Anfield last Sunday when they were 2-1 up thanks to two goals from the left-footed wizard Gareth Bale Jan Vertonghen, but then handed the match to Liverpool with two reckless, needless back passes – first from Kyle Walker that Hugo Lloris failed to control, giving Stewart Downing an easy finish; then by Jermain Defoe, who put Luis Suarez clear in the area and forced Benoit Assou-Ekotto into a clumsy challenge, allowing Steven Gerrard to seal the three points for the Reds from the spot. Should they have been able to hold on to their advantage against Liverpool, Spurs would have opened up a 10 point cushion over Arsenal in fifth place – five on Chelsea in fourth – but instead the Gunners can reduce the deficit to four should they win their game in hand and their supporters have started again with the "Mind The Gap" jibe from last season when they usurped us into third place in the table, taunting Spurs fans as they know that they will once do it again this year. Further evidence of the alternate directions in which the two North London clubs are heading could be found in the midweek European fixtures: Arsenal may have exited the Champions League, but gained confidence from a 2-0 win against Bayern in Munich, coming only the second team to beat them there this campaign; while Tottenham stumbled into the last eight of the Europa League, progressing on the away goals rule after a 4-1 extra time defeat to Internazionale in Milan. The shockingly poor defending that has led to Spurs conceding seven times in their last two matches is nothing new – it was just as poor in the away victory against West Ham – but part of the problem in those fixtures was the presence of Jake Livermore in the centre of the Tottenham midfield. The squad is lucky to have a deep selection of quality midfielders to choose from and even with injuries to Sandro, Dembele (who returned in Milan) and Dempsey, there is still Lewis Holtby and Tom Huddlestone who should come in before Livermore, who at his best is a poor man's Jermaine Jenas (and being a rich person's version would not be much of a compliment either). It is selections such as Livermore by Andre Villas-Boas, alongside his continued use of the abysmal William Gallas and aging Brad Friedel – who still makes good saves, but does not dominate his area, nor distribute the ball, as effectively as Hugo Lloris – that are concerning heading into the final two months of the campaign.
This weekend's fixtures should provide an advantage to Spurs, as Arsenal travel to South Wales to face a Swansea team who won the corresponding match last season and were victorious at the Emirates this campaign, while Tottenham host Fulham, who have just two away successes all season and have lost the last six league meetings between the two sides. Nevertheless, I can almost guarantee that what will happen is a narrow 1-0 victory for the Gunners, thanks to a strike in the final ten minutes from Santi Cazorla or Theo Walcott, while Spurs will be frustrated by the Cottagers and end up sharing the points in a 0-0/1-1 draw. Many Tottenham supporters may still hold out hope that this year will be different and the collapse will not happen, but remember – it's not the despair that gets you, we can handle the despair, it's the hope.

This Week In: English Football – Bale Keeps Scoring and United Out of Europe
March 8, 2013 ~ John Lally	~ 1 Comment
Aaron Lennon celebrates his goal – Tottenham's second – in the derby win over Arsenal
Prior to last weekend's North-London derby, Tottenham fans expected the game to go one of three ways: either Spurs would dominate the match and overcome their bitter rivals; would be the better team but fail to take their chances and end up dropping points; or Arsenal would take out a season's worth of frustrations on us and rack up another 5-2 scoreline. However, none of those scenarios played out, as Andre Villas-Boas' men were outplayed for the majority of the game, but two goals inside two first half minutes, followed by a strong defensive performance after the visitors had reduced the deficit shortly after the break, gave Spurs a crucial win over Arsenal, lifting them back into third place and seven points above the Gunners. Tottenham's two goals were identical: for the first, Gylfi Sigurdsson played a pass through the defence for Gareth Bale to score for the thirteenth time in his last thirteen matches; shortly afterwards, Scott Parker provided the assist for Aaron Lennon, catching out the Arsenal back line in the exact same way. Despite Per Mertescaker's header early in the second half, Arsene Wenger's team were unable to mount a comeback and they have now lost three of their last four Premiership encounters at White Hart Lane, after previously going unbeaten for 11 years on their rival's turf.
With ten fixtures remaining in the Premiership, the seven point advantage is six more than Spurs had at the same time last season, when they were ultimately pipped to third place by Arsenal and missed out on a Champions League spot when Chelsea won the competition. However, no Tottenham fan will feel confident of our chances of finishing above our rivals this campaign – as the last seventeen years have conditioned us to expect things to go wrong, regardless of how promising things look. With away trips to Liverpool (this Sunday), Swansea and Chelsea still to come, alongside a home match against the champions, there are plenty of opportunities for Spurs to slip up and find themselves overtaken in the league. Nevertheless, something feels different about the club this year – in part because of the presence of Bale, a truly world-class talent whose effect has been maximised by the tactics of Villas-Boas, allowing the Welshman time, space and opportunity to exhibit his skills. But it is more than just this one player, with Dembele, Lennon, Sigurdsson and Parker alongside Bale, Tottenham have one of the strongest midfield lineups in the country – despite injuries to Clint Dempsey and Sandro – and there also seems to be good fortune on their side. In yesterday's Europa League match with Internazionale, Bale – who had opened the scoring with a header moments before – was (correctly) booked for a dive in the penalty area, meaning he will miss next week's return leg at the San Siro. At the time, the suspension appeared to be ominous to Spurs' chances of progressing to the quarter-finals, but the final scoreline of 3-0 means that advancement is virtually confirmed and now the Welshman will have a clean slate heading into the last 8 of the competition. With all that said, Tottenham are still Tottenham – and the game is still the game – odds are that they will just find a new way to let supporters down and throw away the great position into which they have worked themselves.

What is your design dilemma?: What's With Color? The Long Version Part 3: How to know what colors to use in a room. Color Schemes via an Inspiration Piece.
What's With Color? The Long Version Part 3: How to know what colors to use in a room. Color Schemes via an Inspiration Piece.
Here is the third part on What's With Color? This section is about developing a color scheme by using an inspiration piece.
This is an appropriate subject for me today because I just left a client's home where we were talking about what colors to use in her space. She really likes the muted colors of the Tuscany style. To help explain what colors she liked she went to her kitchen and pulled out a small serving dish. This dish had all the colors she liked such as the muted reds, greens, and yellows. We developed her room's color scheme from this dish.
Inspiration can come from drapery or upholstery fabric, a painting, quilts, accessories, or anything else that has meaning to you or you want to display in the room. Use these colors from the inspiration piece for your color harmony.
Choose at least three colors. Decide which color to use the most. This would be the dominant color. Use this color approximately 60% throughout the room. This color would be used on large areas like the walls and large upholstery pieces.
Next, decide on the second most used color. Use this color approximately 30% throughout the room. It would be used for the window treatments, upholstered pieces like accent chairs and ottomans, rugs, drapery, trim, etc.
The third color would be used approximately 10% in the room and it is referred to as the accent color. This color provides interest, variety, and balance and would be used on accessories like books, lamps, pillows, throws, candles, etc.
Other ways to find a color scheme for your room would be to cut out pictures of interiors from magazines. Don't forget to look at the advertisements too. Also, visit decorator show rooms, model homes, public buildings, historic sites, and private homes. Take a notebook with you to jot down the elements of the rooms you like and take pictures if you can. Keep your ideas in a folder for future reference when you are ready to redecorate.
In the next post we'll talk about what is so important about color and how it can visually change the dimensions of a room.
