Government declares Warwick teaching "excellent" - Tops year of teaching success for University
It was announced today, Thursday 22nd June 2017, that the University of Warwick has been awarded silver status in the Governments' Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). The award defines Warwick as a university that achieves "..excellent outcomes for its students" with "An institutional culture that facilitates, recognises and rewards excellent teaching". It also notes that Warwick "..consistently exceeds rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education."
Warwick's Vice-Chancellor Professor Stuart Croft said:
A Warwick education is much sought after and our students and staff are highly talented. This result is further confirmation of that fact but it is just the latest teaching success in a year filled with a range of significant achievements for Warwick which led us to be ranked 80th in the world the Times Higher World University Rankings 2016 and 57th in the QS World Rankings for 2017.
The TEF panel's judgement noted in particular the following aspects of students experience at Warwick:
Student stretch within and beyond the curriculum which is exemplary for students
who engage with it
A curriculum focus on research informed teaching enabling students to engage
with, and be involved in, research and scholarship
High levels of engagement with employers and a high level of demand for Warwick graduates
A culture that recognises and supports the development of teaching excellence
High quality physical and digital resources underpinned by significant and sustained investment.
This latest accolade comes at the end of an academic year that has seen a succession of major teaching initiatives and achievements by the university including:
Over £20 million in new investment in teaching. At the end of March Warwick' s new £18.5m million dedicated teaching building, the Oculus, was officially opened by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. This academic year also saw Warwick commit to an additional £2 million in annual funding to support new teaching initiatives.
Warwick was ranked in the top ten the UK in the teaching focussed university league table published in the Guardian on Tuesday May 16th 2017. In fact for almost a quarter of a century Warwick has been in ranked in top ten of every UK newspaper overall university league table (the first such ranking was published by the Times in 1994).
The Guardian tables published in Tuesday May 16 2017 also ranked 16 of our individual Warwick's individual academic departments in the top ten in the UK for their teaching. That result comes just two months after the QS World University Rankings by Subject placed 10 subjects at Warwick to be in the world's top 50.
At the start of this academic term new research for the "Graduate Market" named Warwick as the university targeted by the largest number of the UK's top graduate employers. Graduate employment outcomes are one of the indicators used in the new TEF process.

Meg Murray is indeed a nasty woman.
So Murray really "got nasty" and decided her mission was to create progressive and delectable wines that would help get women to the table as leaders and tastemakers. Despite the fact that women have broken down barriers over the last fifty years, Murray finds it "appalling" and "unacceptable" that women hold only 22% of public service leadership positions worldwide. Murray is not only determined to make great wines under the Nasty Woman label but also will donate 20% of net profits to causes and organizations that support women and women's rights, such as the Women in Public Service Project.
Nasty Woman Wines are also unapologetically serious wines. Murray and her husband Jerry have a wine consultancy, Elevage Consulting, where Meg, who has always been interested in the business side of the wine industry, focuses on marketing, operations and logistics for clients while Jerry is the winemaker and vineyard guru. In fact, Jerry, whom Meg considers a feminist, is a highly regarded winemaker and is also considered a pinot noir expert, talents which undoubtedly helped him land the job of winemaker at Domaine Anderson, an Anderson Valley, California producer of pinot noir and chardonnay wines owned since 2009 by the Rouzaud family of Champagne Louis Roederer and Cristal Champagne fame. Meg relies on their combined expertise along with that of their colleagues in the wine business to create her blends and get them to market at impressive speed.
"I am the winemaker for Nasty Woman Wines but not without serious help from some amazing veteran winemakers, namely, my husband Jerry, who has been making wine for a couple decades," Meg states, acknowledging her spouse's full support of the Nasty Woman Wines endeavor.
"My pinot noir was in barrels in friends' cellars. I got to put it together and created a blend through the support of the wine community," she explains, adding that she plans to invite female winemakers to create some blends for her label.
The various wines from Nasty Woman have not been reviewed by major wine publications yet, but the reviews Murray has gotten in the past have been positive.
Murray's challenge, however, is not simply making a delicious, drinkable beverage, but also getting the wines to the customer. While Murray can sell online and self-distribute in her home state of Oregon, distribution and laws governing cross-state-border wine sales that date to Prohibition are cumbersome, making it difficult to get Nasty Woman Wines onto store shelves. Murray says some male distributors fear the political bent of The Nasty Woman label could dampen sales to some buyers.
One way to increase visibility, Murray believes, is to partner with chefs and restaurants and female-centric events. Murray also believes her free #GetNasty wine club, which delivers three bottles of Nasty Woman Wine each quarter, will help boost sales and spread the word. Each shipment will include at least one limited production wine reserved for Wine Club members. The club offers a 10% discount and shipping fees range from $80-99 depending on the number of bottles ordered. There is flat-rate shipping and a 50% break on shipping costs when six or more bottles are ordered.
Murray, who spent her first eight years living in West Virginia, was later raised in Oregon where she lives today, in the state's lush wine country with Jerry and their daughter. She credits her progressive parents with igniting her passion for justice and women's rights. Her father, whom she dubs "a Nasty Woman," was once a professor at West Virginia University. He marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. and lived in "intentional communities" in the South during the Civil Rights Movement. "He taught me and my sister that we had a voice and to use it, to honor differences but to speak up when injustices occur," Murray recalls.
Murray says her mother was also a Nasty Woman. She worked in child development, identifying kids with disabilities and advocating for them; she also worked with socio-economically disadvantaged families to help their kids be the best they could be. Murray credits her mother with creating a generation of Nasty Women, not just within her immediate family, but with all the parents and children she assisted and supported.


A perfect anniversary present from Rihanna's blockbuster makeup brand.
It's six years to the month that Rihanna's song "Diamonds" hit radio waves, urging listeners to "shine bright like a diamond." Unfortunately, she didn't provide instructions on how exactly to do that — until now. Or at least that's how I'm choosing to interpret the new Fenty Beauty launches announced on the brand's Instagram on Friday.
In a series of posts, we learned that Fenty Beauty is releasing both a new highlighter and a new shade of Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer — the second ever color of the beloved lip gloss. "The lipgloss that made you fall in love, in a brand new shade! #DIAMONDMILK #GLOSSBOMB is a shimmery wash of pearl that's like a dewy highlight for your lips! And you KNOW it has the same, ultra nourishing feel of our original gloss bomb, just now in a whole new milky pearl shade.," reads the caption accompanying a photo of four of the glosses, which appear white in their bottles.
A second post about the new Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb shade is a video showing it being applied to forearms with three different skin tones, shimmering almost iridescently on each. "When it feels as good as it looks! The #DIAMONDMILK #GLOSSBOMB has the same shea butter conditioning formula, with an amazing peach-vanilla scent. Rock this dewy highlight for your lips on its own or pair it with your favorite lip color," the caption reads, suggesting it can be layered over other lip products to create a soft, glimmering effect.
The captions also indicate that Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb will be launching on September 7, alongside a new product called Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil, which Fenty Beauty is touting as a winter version of a beloved sold-out product. "This show-stopping, crystal-coated sparkle is a jelly-powder formula melts into your skin like butter and will have you looking like you're dripping in diamonds," says a caption accompanying a picture of the uniquely textured new highlighter. "It gives you a colorless, ultra sparkly sheen that looks beautiful applied as a highlighter on the face or on the body. Did someone say winter #BODYLAVA?!"
A follow-up post shows Diamond Bomb being swatched on the same forearms, with a caption explaining its versatility: "This is how we bathe in diamonds! #DIAMONDBOMB is a colorless, diamond-dusted sparkle that can be applied underneath your foundation for a more subtle glow or on top for a crystal-coated pop! This jelly-to-powder formula is fun to touch and melts effortlessly into the skin." Hold up — underneath foundation? Mind blown.
"I am obsessed with Gloss Bomb. I created Diamond Milk because I wanted a color that was like a dewy highlight for your lips. It gives you that juicy luscious effect and looks good on everyone," Rihanna said in a Fenty Beauty press release, also noting that the sparkle in Diamond Bomb is "just insane!" And according to that press release, Diamond Bomb is the launch Fenty Beauty was hinting at when they posted a photo of Rihanna getting ready for the 2017 Crop Festival, implying she was wearing an upcoming product last August. The inspiration for the shimmering face and body highlighter — which comes in one shade, How Many Carats?! — goes back even further. It was formulated to resemble the crystal dress Rihanna wore to the 2014 CFDA Awards (above).
Both Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb and Diamond Bomb will be available at fentybeauty.com and Sephora on September 7, one day before the brand's one-year anniversary.

Q: Get Value from other Table by ID with Entity Framework i have two already existings tables (no foreignkey):
Customer (Id, Name, .....)
Projects (Id, CustomerId, name)
And in my asp.net core application i have two model:
public class Customer {
   public int Id { get; set; };
   public String Name { get; set; };
}

public class Project {
   public int Id { get; set; };
   public Customer Customer{ get; set; };
   public String Name{ get; set; };
}

And the datacontext classes for this
public class CustomerContext: DbContext
{
    public CustomerContext(DbContextOptions<CustomerContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<CustomerContext> Customer { get; set; }
}

public class ProjectContext: DbContext
{
    public ProjectContext(DbContextOptions<ProjectContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<ProjectContext> Project{ get; set; }
}

But i cant find out how to fetch the Customer object in the Projectclass by the customerId
Can someone help me please? Thank you
Edit: Now i change my Model Classes like in the answer below
but with the following i get an SQL Exception while loading the page
SqlException: Invalid object name 'Customer'.
        projectList = await (from project in _context.Project
                                     join customer in _customerContext.Customer on project.CustomerId equals customer.Id into tmp
                                     from m in tmp.DefaultIfEmpty()

                                     select new Project
                                     {
                                         Id = sollIst.Id,
                                         CustomerId = sollIst.CustomerId,
                                         Customer = m,
                                         Name = sollIst.Name,
                                     }
                      ).ToListAsync();

A: Update your model classes as below:
public class Customer {
   public int Id { get; set; };
   public String Name { get; set; };
}

public class Project {
   public int Id { get; set; };
   public String Name{ get; set; };
   public int CustomerID { get; set; }
   [ForeignKey("CustomerID")]
   public Customer Customer{ get; set; };
}

Merger both DbContext into one.
public class ProjectContext: DbContext
{
    public ProjectContext(DbContextOptions<ProjectContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<Project> Projects { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
}

Then execute
projectList = await (from project in _context.Project
                 join customer in _context.Customer on project.CustomerId equals customer.Id into tmp
                 from m in tmp.DefaultIfEmpty()

                 select new Project
                 {
                     Id = sollIst.Id,
                     CustomerId = sollIst.CustomerId,
                     Customer = m,
                     Name = sollIst.Name,
                 }
  ).ToListAsync();

I hope following links will help you to know how to join two tables across different database.

*

*Joining tables from two databases using entity framework.

*Entity framework join across two databases

A: You will have to create a property in Project class that represent the "foreign key".
Lets say in Project table in the database the "foreign key" is CustomerID, add this to Project class:
public int CustomerID { get; set; }

Then add the ForeignKey attribute to the Customer property:
[ForeignKey("CustomerID")]
public Customer Customer { get; set; }

A: First, your model classes should be as follows:
public class Customer {
   public int Id { get; set; };

   public string Name { get; set; };
}

public class Project {
   public int Id { get; set; };

   [ForeignKey("Customer")]
   public int CustomerId{ get; set; };

   public string Name{ get; set; };

   public Customer Customer { get; set; };
}

Then your DbContext classes should be as follows:
public class CustomerContext: DbContext
{
    public CustomerContext(DbContextOptions<CustomerContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
}

public class ProjectContext: DbContext
{
    public ProjectContext(DbContextOptions<ProjectContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<Project> Projects { get; set; }
}

Now you can use Entity Framework Core and LINQ query to fetch your desired data.

Home Tournaments Indian Premier League IPL 2013
Indian Premier League 2013 Preview
The Pepsi Indian Premier League 2013 season, or IPL 6 for short (6 is because this is the sixth season of the IPL ever arranged) is starting in a few short months. On April 3rd to be exact, where the last years winners, Kolkata Knight Riders will face off against the semifinalists Delhi Daredevils. These two teams are considered the favorites to win the IPL 2013, and boy, I can't wait for this game! The anticipation for this season is greater than ever and last season saw some amazing play by many teams and a great finals to boot, but also some controversial stuff surrounding the so called spot fixing scandl. But we are hoping for a clean and good season this year, where the officials will take care of any shady activities. If you want to read more about the IPL, check out our introduction to the event, Indian Premier League.
IPL 2013 Team Analysis and Previews
For the 2013 season of IPL, there will be nine franchises competing for the new trophy. The teams are:
Bangalore Royal Challengers
Pune Warriors
Hyderabad Sunrisers
This years competition will be tighter than ever. Even though most will be looking for last years winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, to go to the finals, the teams in the league have become closer in player strength. This is thanks to the salary cap of $12.5 million that is in place for each team or franchise. I really prefer this type of rule, over the soccer style, where money is starting to take over the sport.
But the teams competing for this years trophy are many, and no single team is standing out as the clear favorites. Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Daredevils, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Bangalore Royal Challengers all seem to have a shot at the title, with no one of them being clearly better than the other teams. Kings XI Punjab is considered an outsider and the last three teams, Rajasthan Royals, Pune Warriors and Hyderabad Sunrisers needs to prove themselves to be able to compete in the series. It is bound to be exciting, that is for sure!
News for the IPL 2013
There have been some moves in the trading window, where Hyderabad have added almost 20 of the Deccan Chargers (former team in the IPL) players to their rosters. Pune Warriors has gotten rid of a lot of players, trying to rebuild a team that didnt far well in the last years competition, finishing last with a 4-12 record. Look for them to make a lot of moves in the players market this year.
The bigger teams have opted to not make that many changes. Kolkata Knight Riders seem content with their players, and have only elected to axe one player, Jaydev Unadkat. Seeing as they won last years tournament, this should come as no surprise to people.
Indian Premier League 2013 Predictions & Betting Tips
Seeing as this site is named Online Cricket Betting, I guess you didnt simply want me to babble about news in the cricket world, but also give some tips as to how to bet on the IPL 2013. As of right now, there aren't many bets out there on the IPL, seeing as it is still some months untill it is starting, but the winner odds have already been presented. No suprising odds here, the race is very tight between the teams, but I feel that the odds of both Daredevils and Knight Riders is a bit too high at 5.00, and putting out a small bet on those might offer some value. They will not win this everytime, but I feel their chances of winning are bigger than 25%, so it warrants a bet on them. Also, putting in a small bet on the Pune Warriors or the Hyderabad Sunrisers at both 15.00 might also be a wise decision, but take a look at how they act in the players market. If they build some decent teams, they might become a dark horse in the hunt for tis years title. All of these bets can be found widely available, so use your sportsbook of choice.
This year, I hope to roll out some more predictions and tips on my cricket betting tips page for the IPL 2013. As of now, I havent put out any bets, but I will start updating it once the league starts its games. So check back for some money winning tips.

Have you ever had a Facebook/Insta kind of day?
They are the ones where everything goes picture perfect- the kids are shockingly tidy, they manicure the lawn before breakfast, they take the dog for a walk without being asked (when you don't even own a dog) and tuck themselves in before dessert.
They are the days when all your DIY projects come off without a hitch, and under budget.
They are the ones when the dinner you whipped up in between learning a new language and back-to-back power business meetings looks better than the recipe photo.
They deserve captions that are fun and quirky and terribly clever. And perhaps a hashtag or 5.
I've been thinking about those kind of days recently. I have a doozy of a Facebook day to tell you about!
We were on a lengthy tour, weary from travel and unfamiliar beds. The town we were staying in for a few days was on a small Island with grocery prices that would astound any normal human outside of the lovely local people. Honestly, I have no idea how anyone affords to eat there.
We had an early morning gig at a school so (jet)lagged ourselves out of bed and I served up meagre little bowls of over priced cereal and told everyone to chew slooooowly. They were about the size of Costco sample cups. Our meal budget for the day was already blown. The school shares their stage with the cafeteria so while we spent a couple of hours setting up PA we inhaled lunch aromas! School lunch that day was heavy on the meat, but spying some plain rice we asked if we could have a few bowls. Nope. It is a government subsidized program, and they were only allowed to serve complete trays, and could not even sell us extras.
Our spirits were buoyed with 2 super fun performances that had the students laughing and singing along even louder than our growling tummies.
After packing up, the plan was to quickly drop our gear off at our evening gig and head back to our place to eat and relax a bit. However, plans are ever changing on tour and the sound man asked if we could please set up and sound check right away. Okie dokie!
Finished, we quickly drove to our home away from home, drooling all the while about the pasta we had planned for dinner. As I stirred the boiling spaghetti I noticed that the bubbles looked a bit odd. Apparently that is how they look when there were a bunch of bugs in the box of pasta! Time was up, and we headed to our evening gig.
Locating a few snacks, we had a fun evening and were ready to call it a night. Walking up the path to our front door we spotted a centipede. A big one. Huge really. And not the cute fuzzy ones. These ones are mean and aggressive and pack a powerful sting. I've heard it compared to a gunshot wound but hope to never verify that.
Scream, stomp, whack, stomp, whack stomp. Bedtime!
Before hitting the hay, I quickly updated our social media. Awesome day! Great gigs! Happy kids! Fab photos! Lots of exclamation marks!
Now I find myself on many nights mentally evaluating my day. I want people to know the 'real' us, and not be fooled by flashy photos that every day and moment is perfect. Nothing is perfect but Him. If I spend my day living for Him, then even those dragged down in mire moments can be bathed in light. Maybe I'll try a little harder to have a Facebook/Insta kind of day. I hope you do too, and I'll be the first to 'Like" it!
If For Booking, What Type of Show?


Do you ever feel like you have the oldest technology? We all do. Many people are becoming more content with what their older technology but for some they always feel behind. That's because many times manufacturers release a new version of their products every year. What makes it worse is when a company has MULTIPLE major products (AKA flagships) that release at two different times it doesn't help either (looking at you Samsung Note, S series, Samsung Gear Watch, Apple iPhone, iPad, Watch).
Don't worry we all still feel it every year, "my phone works but I'd like the new one, the new color, the new camera, etc." I am right there with you.
So what do you do? Appreciate and remember what caught your attention of the technology you do have. Remember, it's their job to sell you new technology and they're doing a damn good job.
Have no fear, Underdog is here! To save you from technical anxiety! New nickname - Underdog?
In the spirit of the new LTE Apple Watch, I decided to create a challenge for myself to use only my Apple Watch for about 10 hours. I own a series 1 Apple Watch and I wanted to see the limits I could push it. Because I have a series 1 watch I kept my phone on my pocket to remain tethered to my watch. This is my initial review for my #watchonlychallenge.
Here it is, day one with my Apple Watch only for the day.
I started my challenge walking from my car to my office building. Before getting out of the car I wanted to listed to some tunes on the way to my office. Turned on my bluetooth Jaybird Freedom's and as normal it connects to my phone. So I navigate on my watch to start some music and then I get this message.
For some reason if I start a song from the watch it forces me to play it from the watch thus, I have to connect my headphones to the watch directly. After connecting my headphones to my watch I started my stroll.
After starting my day at work came the real test. I get many emails that are essentially a task list for me so depending on the urgency or situation I have to react differently with each situation. My watch helps me filter when to react. However, I have found that when certain emails needed attention in that moment I naturally pulled out my phone and started typing away (and I cursed myself each time I realized it).
It's lunch time now. I'm heading back to my car. Today I didn't have to pay 1/2 a mile away so it's a short walk and nice warm weather. I played more jams on the way but I couldn't see what was playing in bright daylight 🤔 (series 2 & 3 have brighter displays for this reason).
The #watchonlychallenge just turned into keep your phone on your pocket challenge. Instead of using my watch and phone I found myself just doing things I could do on my watch on my computer instead. I'd make sure to answer emails there, I answered text messages on my computer, etc.
This challenge helped me realize how slow apps were to open on my watch. I constantly found myself looking at my calendar using the Outlook app but it took forever. Using the modular watch face with the Outlook up next widget helped me stay on track.
I wrote out a few messages on my watch...it wasn't fun....at all. I did some voice to text too. I had to repeat a few statements but I believe this is due to Watch OS 4 being so new...I didn't have this problem in the past.
I expected phenomenal battery life from not using my phone. However, battery life remained the same on my phone. I was using iOS 11.0.2 on my iPhone where battery life was horrendous anyways.
This was a first look. I'll try it again soon. I think 3 days would be a sufficient amount of time.
I can't help but wonder if this experience would be better on a series 3....with my phone of course 😊.
When we think about soliciting online we refer to the term "spam" (no no, not the processed goop in a can). Spam can be something we want or something we don't want. Most of the time it's something we don't want because it's the guy tapping you on the should that says, "do you want to buy this?" You say, "no" and then he says, "Ok, do you want to buy it now?"
In the technical world spam used to be littered in our email boxes. Though that still happens today many email filtering systems have developed to all together prevent spam from coming directly into your inbox. Later advertisements began to show on websites...and then obnoxious advertisements displayed on websites. Thus, pop up blockers and ad blockers were created. So when one way doesn't work you find another! That is what marketers have begun to do. They have found other technical mediums that we use to place those advertisements in front of us. Here are 3 most recent ways they have managed to do that.
"...many iCloud users have been the target of spam that's delivered in the form of an unsolicited Calendar event invitation, and now Apple is working on a way to stop it."
"Because iCloud calendar invites are sent to an iCloud calendar automatically by default and there's no easy way to ignore them, there's no clear way to stop the spam."
"Image via OS X Daily Declining, accepting, or choosing "Maybe" on an incoming iCloud invite lets an iCloud email address is valid, so until Apple can put a stop to the spam, there are two fixes."
"Both iOS users that use the default Calendar app and those who use third-party calendar apps like Fantastical are affected by the spam issue, which appears to be fairly widespread.."
Does Google simply not give a $#!+ about Docs spam?
"Recently, Google users began receiving spam in the form of shared Docs folders."
"Google Docs spam continues, and apparently there's no way to stop it."
"Also raise a fuss about Google Docs being spammed as well, and don't stop until you get Google's statement and reassurance that they're working on it, and you start seeing solutions."
"The bad news is that the reason it's so easy is because Microsoft appears to be inserting OneDrive advertisements directly into the Windows 10 File Explorer windows."
"The ads tout OneDrive's $6.99-per-month, 1TB storage subscription and appear just below the menu bar in Windows Explorer windows, ExtremeTech notes."
"One Reddit poster who has a current Office 365 subscription noted that the OneDrive ads still appeared."
"As ExtremeTech notes, the OneDrive ads are not the first time Microsoft has touted its additional services in various places throughout the Windows operating system."
Here we are again, CHRISTMAS EVE. Oh how all of the children love you and all of the adults go frantic. Today people are picking up a few more last minute gifts and some are doing ALL of their shopping (shame on you). Christmas can be a great holiday to spend time with friends and family but for some it is a sick game of give me gifts or be shunned and who wants that? What ever your reason I can say that this year I've done 90% of my Christmas shopping in one store, Best Buy. Here are last minute Christmas gifts you can get in stores RIGHT NOW.
About 4 months ago I posted an article as to why I am going to purchase the iPhone. After a lot of thinking I have decided that I am sticking it out with Android and here's why.
1. Customization Not everyone needs it or cares about it but I do. Whether I am changing something everyday or once a year I know I have the ability to change it. My lifestyle is based around always doing the same thing differently. It's not always necessary but it keeps my phone new and exciting so I don't grow bored of it (which can happen VERY quickly for me).
2. Hardware Options I have a tendency to stick with certain manufacturers but sometimes I venture out into something different. I enjoy the various options I have among different companies that can provide various qualities, designs, and price. Competition is healthy ;) .
3. Community If I left Android this is something I would miss the most. I enjoy the Android community in general but there is no other community like my Google+ community. Topics about Android can range from apps, news, new devices, reviews, and app development. All of these people get together and discuss their liking and dislike for Android features.
The iPhone is a great device but I just don't think it's for me. This guy says it best....except he's defending iPhone.
Tuesday night you could find me in a Verizon Wireless store playing with a wireless charger while deciding if I NEED one or not. My first thought was will I sit my phone down long enough to let it charge?
I have been a dedicated Android user since 2009. I have always enjoyed the capabilities it possessed such as the open environment. My Android screams hack me, manipulate me, do cool stuff with me' and I say yeah, Yeah, YEAH! I got into the hype at times and in others I had to stop and think wait, isn't that what they sold us last year but in a different she'll with new fancy hardware numbers? Sometimes I feel like I keep getting led on to promises that just don't happen and honestly I'm getting tired of it.
My friends I have a confession to make: I am considering buying an Apple phone to be my primary device.
Let's talk about how I've come to this conclusion.
My boyfriend made some very convincing statements about why I should leave Android and come to iOS. Some of the reasons he said why I should leave were that I'm always complaining about my phone and some of its technical glitches, the lack of actually receiving phone calls when someone calls my phone, battery life, etc. I have thought about these things but I have not recently considered leaving the OS because of it. In the end he said something I think we should all remind ourselves, "a phone should phone". When I think about all of the things my phone can do I always have to give exceptions because certain things don't work as well in certain situations. I really enjoy Android and the new discoveries and innovation especially from our app developers. Also this isn't the 1st phone I have had these problems on.
I have not completely given up on Android but hopefully if I decide to make this departure it will be to leave Android as it is so that when I return it will have grown and matured.
Leave me any comments or feedback below.

10 Most Handsome South Koreans Today
The sheer craze of K-Drama and K-POP is more prevalent among Malaysian girls than it ever was. Who can blame them? South Koreans are one of the most beautiful and talented group of humans to ever grace planet earth.
It's only natural to be attracted to these men with their flawless skin and perfectly synchronized dance moves. Some of these South Korean heartthrobs are revered more than the countless others.
1. V (Kim Tae-hyung) – Singer
On June 13, 2013, V made his debut as a member of BTS on Mnet's M Countdown with the track "No More Dream" from their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool. V was first credited for music composition in The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1 when he co-wrote and co-produced the song "Hold Me Tight".
2. Oh Se-hun – Entertainer

Thor Thinks MC Sher Is Worthy For MIB: International's Hindi Dub. We're In!
Get ready for Gullyboy and Men In Black crossover references!
By Tanzim Pardiwalla May 28, 2019
While we had a boring Monday, our boy Siddhant Chaturvedi was up and about in Bali for a happening film premiere. Men In Black is all set for an all-new mission. And this time, they're going International!
Sony Pictures Entertainment
MIB: International's lead stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson walked the red carpet and following close behind was Siddhant Chaturvedi, joining the cast. Why you ask? Well, he's dubbing for Hemsworth's character in the film. Skeptical? Thor isn't!
The film features not one but two Avengers, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson). There were bound to be crossover references between the MCU and the MIB verse. But what we didn't expect were the ones drawn between Gully Boy and the MCU. While he was at the premiere, Siddhant Chaturvedi caught up with Chris Hemsworth and looks like it was a fun exchange. The Indian actor posted a picture of the two on his Instagram handle:
Thor just gave his verdict. MC Sher is totally worthy of voicing Agent H (Hemsworth's character) in Hindi. Siddhant has been roped in to lend his voice for the Hindi translation along with Sanya Malhotra who lent her voice for Tessa Thompson's character. Turns out, he found the task pretty challenging. In an IANS press note, he talked about how overwhelming it got. He also mentions how he's added an Indian touch to the film.
We've seen Siddhant kill it as MC Sher in Gullyboy, one of Bollywood's most hyped film so far this year. His performance was commendable and so was his voice. If the actor says the gig was challenging, we think he's just being modest. In case you missed it, he's the same guy who voiced some impressive raps backed by sick beats. And we don't hate the idea of his involvement with the long-running film franchise at all.
The Men In Black series has had a cult following since Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones immortalised their roles as Agent K and Agent J. The series has been adored worldwide and the two Asgardians have pretty big shoes to fill. The upcoming film has new weapons, sweet new rides and for the first time, a woman within the ranks of the Men In Black. Check out the trailer here:
We can't wait to see how the Hindi version turns out. The Sony Pictures Entertainment film releases in India on June 14, 2019, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English.

Scatterometer-based correction of forecast-model coastal winds
Natalie Perlin, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR; and R. M. Samelson and P. L. Barbour
Wind stress fields during summer 2000 and 2001 from the operational Eta mesoscale atmospheric forecast model and the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds scatterometer are compared for the coastal region west of Oregon and California, extending offshore to 130 W. A simple correction is proposed for systematic error in the model fields. The scatterometer measurements show regions of intensified stress near orographic features, consistent with previous measurements and results from high-resolution mesoscale model simulations. In these regions of orographic intensification, the moderate-resolution (32-km) Eta model systematically underpredicts the observed wind stress by a factor reaching 1/2 or less, and places the axis of the maximum wind farther offshore than do the scatterometer measurements. However, the temporal correlations between Eta-model and QuikSCAT wind stresses remain high (0.85-0.9) even in these regions of intensified stress, except in a narrow region adjacent to the coast, where the correlations decrease abruptly. These high correlations motivate the use of a complex linear regression model to reduce the systematic error, relative to QuikSCAT measurements, in the forecast-model coastal-zone wind stress. The regression model is calibrated using a split-sample validation method, applied for summer 2000 and summer 2001 data. The regression model produces a wind stress field on the nominal 25-km QuikSCAT grid from 40-km Eta output, and substantially reduces the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) relative to QuikSCAT measurements. The RMSE of the regression-corrected Eta model is smaller than that of two high-resolution, nested, mesoscale dynamical models, implemented using standard procedures.

Director Jean-Jacques Annaud Slams Academy Over China Oscar Rejection (Q&A)
Жан-Жак Анно про відмову Американської кіноакадемії взяти до розгляду його «Тотем вовка», висунутий Китаєм у номінації «Найкращий іншомовний фільм».
Rhonda Richford, The Hollywood Reporter
"American movies are made by global talent but they are still American movies. Why is it that foreign-language movies are treated differently?"
Few filmmakers have experienced such remarkable reversals of fortune while straddling the divide between Hollywood and China — the world's largest and second-largest film markets, respectively — as French director Jean-Jacques Annaud.
After the release of his Brad Pitt-starring drama Seven Years in Tibet in 1997, Annaud was reportedly informed that he would be denied entry to China for the rest of his life because of official outrage over his portrayal of the politically sensitive topic of Tibet. Remarkably, Annaud was able to repair his relationship with the Chinese, returning to the country to shoot the period epic Wolf Totem, a China-France co-production backed by China Film Group, the country's central state studio, that was released in China earlier this year.
But Annaud now finds himself blocked from the opposite direction. After Wolf Totem grossed over $110 million in China, the film was selected by China as the country's official submission for the best foreign-language film Oscar. However, in a letter dated Oct. 5, the Academy declared the film ineligible after determining that the production, starring Chinese actors speaking Mandarin and Mongolian but directed by a French director, is simply not Chinese enough. While the Chinese-French co-production boasted an 80-20 financing split, the Academy's beef is with the team of top creatives – it cited not only director Annaud, but also director of photography Jean-Marie Dreujou, editor Reynald Bertrand, and American composer James Horner – amongst those in "creative control" of the film, which it determined violated its rule that a production must be "largely in the hands" of the nominating country's citizens or residents.
As recently as Sept. 21, sources close to China's Film Bureau confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Wolf Totem would be the country's submission, so it came as an international shock when 31-year-old Chinese director Han Yan's lightweight comedy Go Away Mr. Tumor appeared on the Academy's official list of foreign-language category contenders released on Oct. 8.
An Academy spokesperson confirmed to THR that it was decided during a meeting on Oct. 2 that Wolf Totem didn't meet the criteria as a Chinese submission. The move marks a turnabout from 2014, when Philippe Muyl's The Nightingale, a film similarly top-heavy with Frenchmen, was deemed eligible as China's official entry in the category. Annaud, who won a foreign-language Oscar in 1977 for his Ivory Coast submission Black and White in Color, spoke with THR about the controversy, calling the Academy's decision "confusing and arbitrary."
How did you hear that the Academy had decided Wolf Totem was ineligible?
I got a call the night of October fifth to tell me that they [the China Film Group] had received a notification from the committee and Mark Johnson. He is the chair of the Motion Picture Academy foreign language film selection committee — long title. And their verdict came from the fact that, in my view, they misread who is the producer. The producer is Chinese and there are two French co-producers, but the entity in charge of the production is the China Film Group. It's the biggest Chinese film company and the chairman is Mr. La Peikang. And according to the bilateral treaty between China and France, this is a Chinese-French co-production with 80 percent Chinese backing. It was shot entirely in China, in the Chinese language, with an entirely Chinese cast, a Chinese crew of 600 and only seven people from France. They are: the two co-producers – myself and Xavier Castano – the director of photography, the editor, the continuity supervisor, the final sound mixer [and the lead screenwriter]. I think another very negative element for the selection committee was that the music was composed by [American] James Horner, although it was recorded partially in Beijing.
What was the shock for all of us is that the rules of the selection committee are not clear and widely available, and I just read that the committee wants to have the guarantee that the artistic control is in the hands of nationals from the submitting country. Therefore, I'm asking the following: why is it that actors are not part of the balance or the quota, and why is it that the producer, who is the initiating producer and in charge of 80 percent of the budget, is not considered on the list of people in control? So now do films have to have a director from the submitting country in order to compete? Or who exactly is in "creative control"? Because in co-productions, we have treaties [that establish point value for creative positions to determine which country receives majority credit], so a number of points from China and a number of points from France and the two administrations check if it's valid and that's a very simple rule.
The film submitted last year by China was also directed by a Frenchman, [Philppe Muyl's The Nightingale]. I just called him and he said it went through [the selection committee], and so last year it was okay for the Academy to accept a movie from China co-produced by France with a French director, French crew, and French co-producer [Steve Rene]. Why is this year different?
The project was Chinese in origin, correct?
Yes, a 100 percent Chinese production. The production company was called Forbidden City and the president of this company had bought the rights to the novel and came to see me in Paris. He really had the initiative and convinced me. I was very happy to be convinced, I must say, but it was his initiative. But then he was offered the vice presidency of China Film Group and he took the movie with him, and it's only then that we suggested making it a co-production to fit the reality of the project, because some of the artistic partners would come from France. But it was still an 80 percent Chinese movie that we shot entirely over there. And what's bizarre is that it's a profoundly Chinese story shot entirely in the country and depicting a very specific moment in China, something that is seen by the Chinese as conveying Chinese history and culture.
You sent a letter to the Academy explaining this?
I sent this letter the next day, the sixth [of October]. And since then we have exchanged daily emails but I know they won't change their decision. I am just curious about one thing: why is it that American cinema has been thriving since the origin and making it in the global market and taking the directors they feel appropriate, the musicians, the DOP, costume designers? American movies are made by global talent but they are still American movies. Why is it that foreign-language movies are treated differently?
Do you think the Academy is discriminating against you a bit because you've already won an Oscar for foreign-language film from a different country in the past?
I don't feel it's personal, no. I feel maybe it is more against China than against myself. I didn't take it personally at all.
Why do you feel it's a decision against China?
I think, probably unconsciously, with China being such a big market, they probably look at China a different way than they would look at Togo or Sao Tome, so they have acted instinctively but I don't know. I'm just answering the question. But I think China is a rival and therefore the rival is not treated in the same fair way as other nations.
In the email exchanges with the Academy did they give you any specific reasons for the decision?
Yes, of course. They said that the key creative participants were not Chinese. And I got confirmation today that Mark Johnson feels that the movie is French. That is not what the public in France felt. And that is not what the public in China felt; they saw the movie in Chinese with Chinese actors, with a Chinese story from a Chinese bestseller. Directed by a French guy, that is true, and with key people from France, but once again we could not have a co-production without having those points. We had to do some post production in France, but I spent a year doing post production in China and a few weeks in Paris to finalize the mix. It's all legal; that's the way co-productions function.
The Chinese have now submitted another film. Do you think there is anything the Chinese committee can do now?
China Film Group is very upset and they cannot understand why this movie that has been running in many festivals under the flag of China is suddenly kicked out. It's a big blow for them because they basically came to us to raise the level of their production, that was the ambition — to start making movies that are not entirely local, that are international very much in the way that America has always done.
Do you think there will be repercussions for future foreign directors of Chinese films?
I do. More so, I know that it is going to be a problem with future co-productions. Because people who will want to invest in a partly-foreign crew — let's say they want a good composer who they admire, or they want a director that has experience in the kind of movie they want to make — if this big investment cannot compete in the Oscar race, because now it is a "stateless" movie, the co-producing countries are going to be in trouble.
It's discriminatory for films that are not in the English language but have ambition to be more international. The argument of the committee is that we want to help the local film industry, but are they really helping the local film industry by forbidding hiring competent technicians from around the world? Is that the way to help movies?

The tale of a man expelled from the Communist Party because of a political joke.
The Joke is a film by Czechoslovak New Wave director Jaromil Jireš, adapted from a novel of the same name, written in 1967 by Czech novelist Milan Kundera. Another harsh political satire that was banned by the regime shortly after its release, it tells the story of an university student who's life is completely turned upside down after writing a silly joke to his girlfriend.
It stars Josef Somr as the former student Ludvik Jahn, who returns to his hometown after serving out stints in the army, forced labor camps, and military prison. By chance he meets the wife of one the Party leaders who got him expelled years ago. This prompts him to plot his revenge by seducing her.
To make the straightforward narrative more refreshing, Jireš uses the curious technique of splicing together the past and the present seamlessly throughout. Though the story occurs in the present, Ludvik's thoughts are stuck in the past, and this is shown through these flashback, almost delusional sequences where he frequently recalls into the present frame, all the events and people who changed his life as a result of his joke.
While an interesting film with some beautiful moments, it doesn't quite have the same magic as some of the other politically critical works from this era. Despite its title, there's a lack of the wonderful dark humor that is so often the trademark of the Czech New Wave. It's message is too direct, leaving no room for mystery or contemplation. Also, the way the protagonist is portrayed could have been more sympathetic.
Actually, watching those first few minutes, and then reading up on what the whole thing was about made it curious. I guess I might just visit this one if I'm ever curious for more.


· 'Coach' – I have stated specifically that your personalised Training Plan is to be set up by a coach, and it important here that you accept your lack of objectivity when it come to yourself. Your Training Plan needs to be designed so that it meets your specific needs (as opposed to what you think your needs are).
· 'Training Plan' – (it fully deserves the capitalisation) a planned holistic approach will work if you let it: firing lots of shots without a plan merely expends lots of ammunition in the reinforcement of your bad techniques.
Your training plan will need regular review and modification to meet your changing needs.
As an aside, any Training Plan will only work if you stick to it!
It is far better to fire a lesser number of 'good' shots than to merely fire many shots.
· The cheaper 'alternative' ammunition will not give the same level of inherent accuracy (otherwise you would be using it in competition?) and you do not need to have larger groups on the target to distract you.
· The cheaper 'alternative' ammunition will undoubtedly 'feel different' in its recoil characteristics – you want your training/practice sessions should reproduce your competition shot sequence and this includes the follow-through sequence.
Consistent placement of a small group of shots on the target is the primary objective (getting that group to the centre of the target is merely a matter of adjusting the sights).
The heresy for many will be that the value of the individual shots is FAR less important than the size of your groups on the target.
The difference between the excellent shooters and the also-rans is simply that the excellent shooters have minimised the number of shots that are not well executed – i.e. they can consistently achieve small groups on the target.
Your objective in training/practice sessions should be the same as in competition, i.e. the release of a 'good' shot, and for the timed fire sessions a series of 'good' shots.
The 'scores' in a training/practice session can be misleading – which of these two groups has the higher score, and which one has the better grouping and could give the higher score if the group was centralised by adjusting the sights?
If you are concentrating on the 'score', chances are that you would be reasonably happy with group 'A': after all it is a '49' and IF you could get that all the time 6 x 49 = 594 and you could be a world beater.
If fact, group 'B' (a score of '46') definitely indicates a sight adjustment is warranted but indicates a greater skill level. Group 'B' is approaching the inherent accuracy of the best pistol/ammunition combination and if the sights were adjusted to bring the group to the target centre and IF you could get that all the time it would be score of 600-60x!
In fact, I would strongly recommend that for your training/practice sessions you use a target that has no scoring rings.
These are easily made: simply a masking template to the size of the black aiming mark on the applicable target, a can of flat black spray paint and the back of a target… For the ISSF Rapid Fire target, cut out a circle almost all the way to the 8-ring leaving the white 'aiming' lines and replace the centre with your homemade spray painted target material.
Firing an Air Pistol will identify poor triggering techniques really quickly!
Whether you shoot Air Pistol, rimfire or Centrefire: whether you shoot ISSF, a 'service' style event or Black Powder pistol your triggering technique is critical and the low velocity and extended barrel time of an Air Pistol brings this to the fore.
· If you start to get inexplicable 'flyers', check the firearm/ammunition using a machine rest.
Despite my advice in point #3 above, human nature is a contrary beast and shooters will score their training/practice sessions: if you do know the score result for your training/practice sessions and they are markedly 'better' than you competition scores, get help!
The last thing you need is reinforce the idea that you will shoot 'worse' in competition than you will in practice sessions!
Where do you get help? Simple: get a coach!
Don't merely put bad targets and/or scoresheets somewhere out of sight – trash them and put them in the recycle bin. You can even go to the extent of ceremonially running them through a shredder or burning them, but get rid of them – permanently!
Training means repeating an action or collection of actions until it becomes automatic: Practice means repeating that acquired action or collection of actions to reinforce them.
A coach can identify your problems and advise you what is needed to eliminate them: but it will be up to you to follow the coach's advice and adhere to the Training Plan.
A new/better/prettier pistol will not in itself improve you shooting.
If you pistol does not suit your physique and hand size/shape, by all means get one that does, or at least get a grip that meets your needs, but do not expect a new pistol to correct poor technique.
Some shooters are using the training technique of dry-firing against a reversed target or a blank wall.
In itself this technique is a valuable tool for a coach to use with a shooter, but it is not the be-all and end-all of training.
If your coach has included this technique as part of your Training Plan, it will be for a specific purpose and should only be used as 'prescribed'.
· The first question to ask yourself is 'have I followed the Training Plan'?
· If you have not followed the Training Plan the next question is 'why not'?
· If you have followed the Training Plan, have you given it 3 -4 months to work (see #8).

THE WEEK (May 11-17)

"I owe my life to the Cleveland Indians," said Tim McKimson, 19, of Chicago. McKimson suffered a broken nose and lost two teeth when, he says, he and two friends were attacked by three youths near Comiskey Park. At the time, the Indians' bus was on the way to the team hotel after a game. Pitching Coach Dave Duncan spotted the fracas and hollered, "Hurry up, Bussie." McKimson "thought it was all over," but the Indians came to his rescue. Inside Comiskey, Cleveland (5-2) beat the White Sox twice—3-1 as Bert Blyleven pitched a four-hitter and 4-3 when Jorge Orta homered in the 16th inning. The Tribe downed Toronto twice on Sunday, Rick Waits winning 1-0 and Blyleven 2-1.
The Red Sox (4-3) downed the Blue Jays 7-6 as Rick Miller chipped in with five hits, including a major league record-tying four doubles. It may have been Miller time, but the winning hit was delivered in the ninth by Gary Allenson, who picked up his fifth RBI of the day. The Allenson Wonderland saga ended abruptly, however, when Gary was put on the disabled list after the game because of a torn ligament. Boston pitchers gave up back-to-back homers in three losses.
When asked if he felt his lengthy talk to the Brewers (3-3) at a team meeting had been effective, General Manager Harry Dalton said, "The father of the baby always thinks it's pretty." Dalton's babes then beat the A's three times, 3-0, 6-5 and 6-2.
Tight pitching buoyed the Tigers (4-1), Blue Jays (2-6) and Orioles (5-1). Detroit stopped Seattle 6-2 behind Milt Wilcox's five-hitter and 1-0 as Dan Petry gave up only three hits. Toronto's nifty mound work was begun by Dave Stieb, whose four-hitter stymied Baltimore 5-2. Jackson Todd then beat Cleveland 4-1. Baltimore had three shutouts: Scott McGregor's three-hitter took care of Toronto 4-0; Mike Flanagan's five-hitter stopped the Blue Jays 10-0; and Dave Ford went seven innings in relief of sore-armed Steve Stone for a 7-0 victory in Minnesota. "I don't think I should start anymore," Jim Palmer said after being knocked out in the fifth inning of a 5-2 loss to Toronto. "I can pitch three or four innings fine, but that's all." Palmer, who pitched just four complete games last season, suggested he be put in the bullpen. But Manager Earl Weaver ignored the suggestion, and on Sunday Palmer went 7⅖ innings to beat the Twins 6-3. Baltimore also benefited from the 20 doubles banged out last week by Oriole batters.
New York (3-2) had some big boppers of its own. Reggie Jackson had seven RBIs; Aurelio Rodriguez homered on his first two swings of the season; and Bobby Murcer's five ribbies on seven hits gave him 10 runs batted in on 13 hits thus far. Reliever Goose Gossage continued to be overpowering, picking up his ninth and 10th saves and first win as he struck out 10 in 5'Öì innings.

In 30 starts last season, Rick Honeycutt's Mariner teammates supported him with a scant 65 runs. Understandably, Honeycutt savors the offensive backing he's had since joining the Rangers (3-3), who have scored 34 runs for him in six starts. The latest outburst on his behalf led to a 9-1 triumph over the Royals and was triggered by Bump Wills, who had three hits in that game and batted .435 for the week. With lefthander Paul Splittorff pitching for Kansas City, Texas Manager Don Zimmer was expected to use Bill Stein, a righthanded batter with a .452 average, at first base in place of Pat Putnam, a slumping lefty swinger who was 6 for 40 against southpaws. Zimmer, though, went with Putnam, who homered in the eighth for a 3-2 victory, the Rangers' seventh straight against southpaws.
Britt Burns of Chicago (3-3) put an end to Texas' mauling of portsiders, at least temporarily, when he sidetracked the Rangers 9-1. Another lefty, Ross Baumgarten, further cooled off Texas, winning 9-0 on Sunday.
As with Honeycutt, past adversity helps Matt Keough of the division-leading A's (1-5) appreciate current success. Keough, who lost 14 straight games in 1979, was 6-0 after stopping New York 5-4. "When I need to reach back for something extra on my fastball, I remember that streak," Keough says. Aside from that, Oakland's road magic went poof. Since winning their first 11 away games, the A's have lost five of their last six.
Ken Forsch and Geoff Zahn of the Angels (4-2) both beat Milwaukee for their fifth victories. Forsch stopped the Brewers 4-0, and Zahn, who had a 9.45 career ERA against them, pitched a five-hitter and won 9-1.
Minnesota (1-5) was one out from a 3-2, 10-inning loss to Boston when lightning struck twice. Zap! Mickey Hatcher walloped a game-tying home run. Zingo! Roy Smalley homered and the Twins were 4-3 victors.
Kansas City (3-3) pulled out a victory, too, scoring twice in the last of the ninth to upend Texas 3-2. The Royals also administered a double dose of lightning of their own when Hal McRae and Willie Aikens hit back-to-back homers on successive days to beat Boston 7-6 and 5-4.
The only respite for Seattle (1-3) came from a 1-0 win in New York. Shane Rawley went 3'Öì innings in relief to sew up that victory for Floyd Bannister.

A principal reason the Cardinals were fourth last season was their knack for letting runners "die" on base. Last week St. Louis (4-2) clung to first place largely because a bit of "suicide" breathed new life into the offense and because George Hendrick kept resuscitating the attack with his hefty hitting. With slow-footed Gene Tenace on third and one out in the top of the 10th, Tommy Herr dropped a daring suicide-squeeze bunt that caught the Astros off guard and beat them 3-2. Two days later the Cardinals looked like goners when they trailed 6-1 in Houston. But with Hendrick doubling twice and getting four RBIs, St. Louis scored two runs in the eighth and four in the ninth and won 7-6.
The Expos (1-5) and Pirates (1-5) looked as if they had played in minefields rather than on ball fields. Montreal's injury list: Ellis Valentine (pulled hamstring), Tim Raines (jammed pinkie), Rowland Office (hairline fracture of the left ankle), Larry Parrish (sore wrist), Jerry Manuel (knee surgery). Six days after no-hitting the Giants, Charlie Lea muzzled them 5-0 on four singles.
Pittsburgh's casualty list: Dave Parker (torn Achilles tendon), Bill Madlock (bruised ribs), Don Robinson (bad shoulder), Rick Rhoden (sore elbow), Bill Robinson and John Candelaria (both out until at least July, the former following an operation on his Achilles tendon, the latter with a tear in his left biceps). Reliever Kent Tekulve was healthy, but for the season had a feverish 5.79 ERA and a wan 0-2 record with nary a save. Uncharacteristically weak at home, the Pirates lost three straight at Three Rivers, making them 2-8 there. Pittsburgh's only win came 7-5 in Atlanta when Tony Pena singled in the 13th.
Luck helped the Phillies (3-3) win twice despite stranding 61 runners in six games. First, the swirling winds at Candlestick made Larry Bowa's routine fly a tough chance, and the ball skittered off Centerfielder Bill North's glove for a two-run error and 3-1 Phillie victory. And Steve Carlton ran his record to 7-0 by stopping San Diego 2-1 with the aid of some good fortune. A ninth-inning double with one on by Barry Evans of the Padres ricocheted off a bullpen bench directly to Leftfielder Gary Matthews, who relayed to Third Baseman Mike Schmidt, who pegged the ball home to beat the runner.
Starting pitchers lasted an average of less than four innings for New York (0-6) and slightly less than five for Chicago (0-6). Other woes: The Mets hit .205 and committed 10 errors, the Cubs hit. 165 and made eight.

When Mount St. Howard blew its top, the Padres (4-2) were impressed. "It's been different around here," Catcher Terry Kennedy said of the atmosphere on the club after 6'8", 270-pound Manager Frank Howard erupted in the clubhouse after a game in which Pitcher Steve Mura objected to being yanked for a pinch hitter. Fired up by Howard's closed-door tirade, the Padres hit .315 in the next five games. Juan Eichelberger, who usually needs a map, compass and radar to find home plate, didn't issue a walk while beating the Mets 3-0 for his first-big league shutout. Chris Welsh also earned his first shutout, getting 18 outs on grounders as he stopped New York 5-0. A five-run eighth knocked off the Mets again, 10-6, and Kennedy singled in the ninth to finish the Phils 2-1.
Western teams were at home for 33 of 36 interdivisional games, matchups in which the Easterners won just nine times. First-place Los Angeles (6-0) kept winging along. Ron Cey's two-out, two-run homer in the ninth beat Montreal 8-6 and his single in the ninth decked New York 6-5. For the week, Cey batted .462, slugged five home runs and had 12 RBIs. Fernando Valenzuela showed signs of being a mere mortal, giving up his first two homers of the season, in a single game. But when Pedro Guerrero homered in the bottom of the ninth, Valenzuela, who allowed but one other hit, had a 3-2 victory. Overshadowed by Valenzuela's 8-0 record and 0.50 ERA were Steve Howe and Burt Hooton. Howe pared his ERA to 0.53 as he got two wins and a save. And Hooton was 5-0 after blanking Montreal 5-0 with Howe's help and going the route to shut out New York 9-0.
Another Howe—Houston's Art—batted .481, and Craig Reynolds, normally a banjo hitter, drummed an unaccustomed tune as he tied a major league record with three triples in one game. The Astros (5-2) had dazzling pitching, too. Don Sutton defeated St. Louis 3-0; Joe Niekro beat Chicago 5-0; and Nolan Ryan won twice, 5-0 over Cincinnati and 6-1 over Chicago.
Cincinnati (6-1) also had a hot hitter (George Foster, .385) and fine pitching. Mario Soto's 10-strikeout, five-hit effort disposed of Chicago 2-1, and Mike LaCoss whitewashed Pittsburgh 4-0 on five hits and 15 ground outs. LaCoss, who had allowed 14 earned runs in his previous 19 innings, used a new grip for his sinkerball on the advice, given him five minutes before game time, of Pitching Coach Bill Fischer.
Despite a burn blister on his right index finger, Phil Niekro of the Braves (3-3) held the Pirates to two hits and won 2-0. Bruce Benedict's single in the 10th toppled Pittsburgh 3-2, and his three RBIs helped knock off St. Louis 11-3.
Giant Manager Frank Robinson was surprised to learn that Larry Herndon, who was hitting .361, had been only 1 for 15 against Montreal's Steve Rogers last season. So Robinson benched his leading hitter and put seldom-used Jerry Martin in leftfield. Score one for the stat man: Martin tripled and homered as San Francisco (4-2) won 4-2.

LEN BARKER: The 6'4", 220-pound Cleveland righthander pitched the first perfect game in the majors in 13 years, beating Toronto 3-0. He struck out 11 Blue Jays and lowered his ERA to a league-leading 1.32.
