🌎 7 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW
• Griner lands in the U.S. after release from Russia: Following the high-profile prisoner swap between Russia and the U. S., WNBA star Brittney Griner has landed in Texas, after being jailed in Russia for ten months (out of a nine-year sentence) on a minor drug charge. She was exchanged for notorious Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout, who had been in U.S. custody since 2010.
• Mexico considers asylum for Peru's Castillo: Peru's impeached former president, Pedro Castillo, is seeking asylum in Mexico after a judge ordered Castillo to be detained for seven days on allegations of "rebellion and conspiracy."
• Croatia is Schengen's newest member: Croatia, which has been part of the European Union since 2013, will officially join the EU's border-free zone known as Schengen on January 1, the same day as it joins the euro. Meanwhile, Romania and Bulgaria, EU members since 2007, were shut out of Schengen membership because of opposition from Austria and the Netherlands over concerns on illegal immigration.
• Russian shopping malls attacked: Fire engulfed one of Russia's largest shopping mall this Friday, in Khimi, in Moscow's suburbs. According to Russian authorities, one person has died and the mall's structure collapsed.
• Japan, UK and Italy building joint jet fighter: Italy, Japan, and the UK are merging their fighter jet development project to put a new craft into operation by 2035. The project is Japan's first major defense collaboration beyond the United States since World War II.
• Celine Dion reveals neurological condition, cancels European tour: Céline Dion has revealed that she is suffering from stiff-syndrome, a rare neurological condition that affects one out of a million, forcing her to postpone European tour dates and putting her future career in question.
• Japan's "dish of the year" is frozen: The Gurunavi Research Institute, which crowns a new dish every year in Japan to highlight evolving food trends, has declared that the new winner this year is frozen food. According to the Institute, with the pandemic and increasing take-out-orders, a large number of restaurants have started to freeze their dishes.
🗞 FRONT PAGE
Saudi business daily Al Eqtisadiah features a front page Friday on the visit to Saudi Arabia by Chinese President Xi Jinping to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. The daily calls relations between the two countries a "strategic partnership."
#⃣ BY THE NUMBERS
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill for for the defense budget to hit a record $858 billion next year, $45 billion more than proposed by President Joe Biden.
📰 STORY OF THE DAY
Frozen in time: a rare look at life in Mariupol under Russian occupation
Russian occupation authorities promised to rebuild housing in Mariupol by winter, but in reality, thousands of people face the cold in largely destroyed houses and apartments. Mariupol residents told Vazhnyye Istorii about how they are surviving as winter falls.
🏙💥 Russian troops shelled Mariupol for more than two months straight, and fully occupied it by May. It is still unknown how many people have died in the city of approximately half a million people in peacetime. Up to 90% of high-rise buildings and 60% of private homes have been damaged or destroyed. Nevertheless, there are still about 100,000 people in the occupied city. Many of them have no electricity, heat, water, or sewage. People live without utilities, with tape covering broken windows, and are freezing in their homes in the absence of promised aid that Russia has failed to deliver.
❄ Andrei Zonder is the head of House 66 apartment block on Morsky Boulevard, where 50 people now live: "The apartments are all frozen, the water is icy, and it is hard to wash hands in it. Today my neighbor showed me that the skin on her hands is cracking. Before June, we were given humanitarian kits from the 'United Russia' (political party), sugar, pasta. But since June, they've only been giving these kits to children from 0 to 3 years old. I survive on subsistence food. Sometimes the residents share some food. You don't know what you will eat tomorrow."
🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Nobody cares what happens in politics. They don't watch the news, and they don't follow the fighting. They don't see who is advancing or retreating. They want to survive, and they want to restore at least a normal livelihood. Right now, it's inhuman. The city is destroyed, and people are doomed to extinction. I'm sitting at home; my feet and hands are freezing cold. That is why such questions are irrelevant here. If you ask about Ukraine or Russia on the street, people will say, 'Does it matter now'"

📣 VERBATIM
"Death is a natural part of life."
— After reports were confirmed of the death of a migrant worker at a World Cup facility, Nasser Al Khater, chief executive of the 2022 World Cup in Doha, seemed to brush off ongoing concerns about worker safety. When asked about the death by Reuters, he said: "We're in the middle of a World Cup. And we have a successful World Cup. And this is something you want to talk about right now?" Al Khater said. "I mean, death is a natural part of life, whether it's at work, whether it's in your sleep. Of course, a worker died. Our condolences go to his family. However, I mean, it is strange that this is something you want to focus on as your first question." The conditions of foreign workers in preparation for the World Cup has been one of the main criticisms of the Qatari organizers.

SHOCK POLL: Democrat Support in Freefall with Independents, GOP Way Up
AP Photo/Patrick Semansky
Democrat support from independent voters has fallen near the crucial 40% line, while almost half of all independent voters tell Gallup that they're leaning Republican.
"If you're a Democrat and you're not terrified," says The Dispatch's Avi Woolf, "you should be."
Well, I'm neither a Democrat nor terrified, but I am conservative and — at least for now — quite giddy.
Gallup recently updated its long-term party affiliation poll, which asks American voters one or two simple questions:
In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent?
(If they ID as independents) As of today, do you lean more to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?
Currently, 31% say they're Republicans, up slightly from the usual mid-20s to 30%. 41% told Gallup that they're independent voters, in line with the average swing. Only 27% self-ID as Democrats, which is down from the more typical 29-32%.
As recently as May, Democrats were at 32% and the GOP at a dismal 25%.
But that's before Presidentish Joe Biden had had a chance to do much other than send out FREE! MONEY! (handouts that helped cause our present inflation) and smile for the glowing press coverage. Since then, important parts of his agenda have taken hold and the malign incompetence of his cabinet has been fully revealed.
Apparently, Americans don't think much of either.
But it's the second question that should have Washington Democrats changing their shorts.
Indies, asked whether they lean towards the Democrats or the GOP, broke for the GOP 47% to 41%.
At this time in Barack Obama's first term, the breakdown was a much more Dem-friendly 25R/41I/32D. And the Indy swing was exactly reversed, 41R/47D.
Yet the Democrats still lost a whopping 63 seats in the House and seven more in the Senate in the following midterm election.
Obama enjoyed immensely more personal popularity than Biden does — I know, I don't get it, either — but couldn't stop a GOP tsunami when his agenda proved unpopular.
Recommended: White House Sends Fact-Checkers After Townhall Media for Quoting Joe Biden
Biden has both an unpopular agenda and a high unfavorable rating draped around his neck like a lead life preserver. And now voters are leaving his party in droves.
True, Biden does have most of a year to right his sinking ship, but honestly, I don't see how.
It isn't that it can't be done, it's that with this administration it won't be done.
Biden's two remaining signature legislative pushes both appear to be dead in the water. The Democrat-run Senate has given up trying to get Build Back Better passed, and the so-called voting rights bill — actually the Permanent Democrat Theft Act of 2021 — faces similar "stubborn math" according to ABC News.
Biden had promised his party's all-important progressive wing that he'd get both bills signed into law. He'll be lucky to get just one, and even that seems out of reach, thanks to opposition from two fellow Dems — Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.
Elections are all about turnout, and Biden has given Democrats very little reason for enthusiasm next year.
Biden himself is still in denial about the inflationary effects of his domestic program, as is his Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen. The rest of his cabinet is far more concerned with pushing unpopular woke politics than pursuing policies that benefit Americans.
The Biden Administration is America's Bourbon dynasty: They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
Now it's just up to us next November to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.

Effects Of War In History & The Body In Pain
1052 words - 5 pages
In Elaine Scarry's The Body In Pain, and Elsa Morante's History, the lasting effects of war are suggested in two different, but similar ways. There are two main similarities involving the effects of war in these excerpts. One being the idea that war changes people in one form or another. The other being the idea of the effects of war reaching far and beyond the time the war took place. The main difference between the two pieces exists in the context the author utilizes these ideas. Morante chooses to use the psychological effects of war, while Scarry uses the physical effects. However, beyond their differences in context, the two authors succeed in insinuating one main point: the fact t ...view middle of the document...
For example; points out that Berlin's "bright, modern, architecturally "new" (Scarry 113) look is due to the fact that it had to be rebuilt from the damages of WWII. She also makes note of some city blocks in Berlin, some of them looking new or modern, and some of them still seem reminiscent of 1945. Between the comparison of actual physical damage done to humans, and to places and cities, Scarry has suggested that city blocks, although damaged in war, are far easier to repair than it is for the human soul itself.In the excerpt from Morante's History, the damage done to a human, and her soul itself are used to display the lasting effects of war. Ida is a mother who has lost her son Nino in an altercation where he was involved in the transporting of stolen goods, such as guns. As an inspector points out, Nino may have been part of a post-war "pseuodo revolution", where unfortunately for Nino, the rules of war do not apply, he was breaking the law. After her son's death Ida is extremely troubled. At first she tries to deal with his death by holding in her cries and sorrow. However, this produces something inside of her she cannot escape. She is constantly plagued by the thoughts of his death, and various hallucinations of Nino, none which are pleasing, but rather terrifying. By using Ida, Morante creates a fictional story that can most likely be applied to many grief stricken parents who have lost their children in a war, or revolution. Morante also makes it clear that from Nino's death, a war has been created inside Ida herself. She now is constantly torn between feelings of guilt for his death, and when "the defendant Ida turns prosecutor" (Morante399) begins to blame Nino for his death. Towards the end of the excerpt Ida is no longer terrorized, by visions of Nino, but rather Nino has now become helpless and forever plagued...

Thiago Anderson Ramos da Silva (ur. 12 listopada 1982 w São Paulo) – brazylijski zawodnik mieszanych sztuk walki (MMA) wagi półciężkiej i ciężkiej. W latach 2007-2014 związany z organizacją Ultimate Fighting Championship, w której występował w wadze półciężkiej (93 kg). Były mistrz ACB w wadze półciężkiej z 2017.

Kariera MMA
Będąc niepokonanym w 9 walkach, w maju 2007 roku zadebiutował w UFC, największej organizacji MMA na świecie. Wygrał w niej cztery walki przed czasem z rzędu (m.in. z Tomaszem Drwalem), po czym w styczniu 2009 roku (gala UFC 94, początkowo walka miał się odbyć na UFC 89) zmierzył się z rodakiem, Lyoto Machidą. Zwycięzca pojedynku miał się stać jednym z kandydatów do mistrzostwa UFC w wadze półciężkiej. Silva został znokautowany w 1. rundzie, doznając pierwszej porażki w karierze.

Siedem miesięcy po walce z Machidą znokautował Keitha Jardine'a, a następnie, 2 stycznia 2010 roku (UFC 108) zmierzył się w walce wieczoru z byłym mistrzem, Rashadem Evansem. Evans wygrał przez jednogłośną decyzję sędziów, wykorzystując lepsze umiejętności zapaśnicze, aczkolwiek Silva w ostatniej, trzeciej rundzie zdołał doprowadzić do nokdaunu Amerykanina ciosem sierpowym.

1 stycznia 2011 roku, podczas UFC 125 pokonał przez jednogłośną decyzję sędziów po jednostronnej walce Brandona Verę. W maju miał się zmierzyć z kolejnym byłym mistrzem UFC, Quintonem Jacksonem. Pod koniec marca ogłoszono jednak, że próbki moczu Silvy pobrane do kontroli antydopingowej przed walką z Verą nie zawierały ludzkiej uryny. Zawodnik przyznał się do oszustwa, tłumacząc swe postępowanie chęcią zatajenia faktu, że przed UFC 125 przyjmował niedozwolone substancje w celu szybszego wyleczenia kontuzji mięśni pleców. Decyzją Komisji Sportowej Stanu Nevada został zawieszony do 2 stycznia 2012 roku oraz ukarany grzywną, a wynik walki z Verą zamieniono na no contest.

Swoją pierwszą walkę po zawieszeniu stoczył 14 kwietnia 2012 roku na gali UFC on Fuel TV 2 przeciwko Szwedowi Alexandrowi Gustafssonowi któremu ostatecznie uległ na punkty po 3-rundowym pojedynku. Jeszcze w tym samym roku 10 listopada w Makau zmierzył się z Bułgarem Stanisławem Niedkowem. Pod koniec 2. rundy Silva został znokdaunowany przez Niedkowa ale będący na skraju wyczerpania Bułgar już na początku 3. rundy zaczął przyjmować coraz więcej ciosów po czym został obalony i poddany duszeniem trójkątnym rękoma przez Silvę. Po walce z Bułgarem okazało się, że Brazylijczyk kolejny raz był na dopingu - w jego organizmie wykryto zakazaną substancje THC (marihuana). Ponownie otrzymał karę zawieszenia oraz wynik pojedynku został unieważniony.

W 2013, zwyciężał dwukrotnie, najpierw nokautując byłego mistrza Strikeforce Rafaela Cavalcante (8 czerwca), następnie wygrywając na punkty z Mattem Hamillem (9 października). W październiku 2014, został zwolniony z organizacji w związku z napaścią jaką dopuścił się w lutym 2014.

W styczniu 2015, podpisał kontrakt z World Series of Fighting, na udział w turnieju wagi półciężkiej. Początkowo miał się zmierzyć 28 marca 2015 z Ronnym Markesem, lecz wypadł on z pojedynku. Nowym rywalem został były rywal z UFC, Matt Hamill, jednak i on musiał wycofać się z pojedynku. Ostatecznie Silva zmierzył się ściągniętym na ostatnią chwilę Teddym Holderem, z którym nieoczekiwanie przegrał przez TKO w 1. rundzie.

4 listopada 2016, znokautował Rameau Thierry'ego Sokoudjou na gali Fight2Night w Rio de Janeiro.

Ferroelectrics and multiferroics
Magnetic properties and materials
Two-dimensional materials
Progress in nanotechnology requires new approaches to materials synthesis that make it possible to control material functionality down to the smallest scales. An objective of materials research is to achieve enhanced control over the physical properties of materials such as ferromagnets1, ferroelectrics2 and superconductors3. In this context, complex oxides and inorganic perovskites are attractive because slight adjustments of their atomic structures can produce large physical responses and result in multiple functionalities4,5. In addition, these materials often contain ferroelastic domains6. The intrinsic symmetry breaking that takes place at the domain walls can induce properties absent from the domains themselves7, such as magnetic or ferroelectric order and other functionalities, as well as coupling between them. Moreover, large domain wall densities create intense strain gradients, which can also affect the material's properties8,9. Here we show that, owing to large local stresses, domain walls can promote the formation of unusual phases. In this sense, the domain walls can function as nanoscale chemical reactors. We synthesize a two-dimensional ferromagnetic phase at the domain walls of the orthorhombic perovskite terbium manganite (TbMnO3), which was grown in thin layers under epitaxial strain on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) substrates. This phase is yet to be created by standard chemical routes. The density of the two-dimensional sheets can be tuned by changing the film thickness or the substrate lattice parameter (that is, the epitaxial strain), and the distance between sheets can be made as small as 5 nanometres in ultrathin films10, such that the new phase at domain walls represents up to 25 per cent of the film volume. The general concept of using domain walls of epitaxial oxides to promote the formation of unusual phases may be applicable to other materials systems, thus giving access to new classes of nanoscale materials for applications in nanoelectronics and spintronics.

Novel properties in new 2D nanomaterials
Two-dimensional materials can have properties that differ markedly from those of their bulk counterparts, a phenomenon that has long been subject to intense research. Here, Beatriz Noheda and colleagues take this notion to a new level by developing an unusual route for the synthesis of two-dimensional materials that can create unique chemical environments and novel functionalities — in this case magnetism in a complex oxide. The authors grew terbium manganite epitaxially on strontium titanate, producing chemical and magnetic properties in the ferroelectric domain walls that are distinct from the rest of the material by strain engineering. The ferroelectric domain walls act as nanometre-sized chemical reactors to promote the formation of phases with unusual chemical and magnetic properties. This technique should be applicable to other complex oxides, providing access to new nanoscale materials for applications in nanoelectronics and spintronics.

Willkommen! | Down With Cantaloupe!
This will be me tomorrow….at work! Tomorrow is our annual company-wide Oktoberfest celebration, which is really just our excuse to have a fun oompah band, drink some beer (responsibly and after the work day is complete), climb a rock wall, play some laser tag, and just enjoy each others company.
If you're reading this and have heard me gripe about my job before, this will probably not outweigh that experience for you (sorry and thanks for listening). But getting to see all of the hard work come together and turn into something cool that people bring their kids to and enjoy….not too shabby.

Q: Mac prompts with `Enter passphrase for key on every login I regularly use my Mac to ssh into other systems on my local network.
I have a public/private key (which was created 6 years ago) so I can connect without using a password.
Recently (probably since upgrading to 10.12.4) the Mac prompts with Enter passphrase for key '/Users/user/.ssh/id_rsa':
Why has this suddenly started happening?
(I presume this has something to do with changes to ssh OpenSSH_7.4p1, LibreSSL 2.5.0)
Can I get ssh to connect without asking for passphrase?
Alternatively I can use a new key pair, but can I ssh-keygen to remove the passphrase without affecting the public key?
There seem to be a number of related questions, but no solutions which seem applicable to the Mac.
Possibly useful information:-
id_rsa
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,0F1575DBFB9CA6CD

ssh-add -l shows
2048 SHA256:XQGzZVv9orlvUu6t7XIfxi89EaroG9CU2Z2WQ71kST8 ~/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)

ssh-agent
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/var/folders/b7/k8m8pvdx0kl3kjhbk8q2kchm0000gn/T//ssh-gmetYqUf36ZC/agent.10219; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=10220; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 10220;

A: If you generated the key pair with a passphrase, this is the desired behaviour. If you don't want to enter a passphrase, chose an empty one.
If it would be possible to generate a new key with the same public key, there wouldn't be any security anymore, so you can't do that.
I suggest to let Keychain enter the password for you. Edit ~/.ssh/config and add the option:
Host *
    UseKeychain yes

Top 5 trade destinations for Jakob Chychrun
Jakob Chychrun (Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports)
The massive COVID-19-related postponement of NHL games in December gave way to an extended holiday break, which gave way to the withdrawal of NHL players from the 2022 Olympics, which gave way to the 2021-22 season being postponed on consecutive days in January Next recovery. The pandemic is sure to suck away the fun and intrigue of sports, right? Shh.
But maybe the team is finally happy with the playoffs this season. They start taking stock of where they stand in the standings, and the trade rumor mill starts churning again. Last week was our first trade of the 2022 calendar year, when the Chicago Blackhawks sold off-prospect left wing Alex Nyland for a low price, kicking him to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a one-on-one exchange for center Sam. Rafferty. Speculation about potentially available big-name assets has also begun.
Indeed, when it comes to defenseman Jakob Chychrun, the Arizona Coyotes started to make a splash a few months ago when Chychrun's performance plummeted down the standings. Even in September 2021, the idea of having him on the field seems absurd.Last season, he led all NHL defensemen to 10 in a shortened schedule with 18 goals.th In the Norris Trophy voting. He's already eager to compete for Canada's 2022 Olympic roster. He was 23 and signed for four seasons with a low AAV of $4.6 million. He's literally the last asset anyone wants to see on the trading floor.
But general manager Bill Armstrong has unabashedly and ruthlessly dismantled the mess he left in front of Arizona for a truly square rebuild. Last summer, he traded defender Oliver Ekman-Larson, right winger Conor Garland and goalkeeper Darcy Kumper before moving center Christian Dvorak to the roster ahead of the season. Going forward, removing any doubts that Arizona has no intention of participating in the 2021-22 season. The "everything has to go" approach has enabled Coyotes to achieve Eight The first two rounds of the 2022 draft, subject to conditions of activation. Now, it looks like even Chychrun could be moved as part of the rebuild. He's too young, and the contract doesn't yet have any movement restrictions. They won't start until 2023-24.
Given his enviable combination of size, strength, skating and scoring, Chychrun's return has to be astronomical despite his poor season. The TSN internal group recently described the required package as "Jack Eichel likes." So we're looking for a combination that includes first-round picks, top prospects and impactful NHL players.
Sportsnet's Jeff Marek recently named The Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings are suitors to watch, and at least 10 teams have been confirmed to have joined Chychrun. Which are the best to pitch for him? I picked five, listed them alphabetically, and added five as a bonus.
We know the Pacific Division will be fully open in 2021-22. However, few of us see Anaheim as one of the teams in contention for a championship. The Ducks have had an astonishing 2021-22 season, thanks in large part to an incredible breakout season at right wing Troy Terry, not to mention the heightened expectations of center Trevor Zeglass. If this team makes the playoffs, goalie John Gibson can steal the series like any net goalie. Adding another marquee could suddenly make this team dangerous.
The 2021-22 season has been a nightmare to start, and less than a year ago, Chychrun was a different maker on both ends of the ice, creating offense, limiting opposing offenses and excelling at the free throw line. He'll obviously be a boon for the Ducks, but his long-term value makes him especially attractive to them, with front-four guards Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson on the UFA in the summer of 2022.
Of course, the price of getting Chychrun will be high. If you're Armstrong, your questions might start with cornerstone guard Jamie Drysdale and/or 2022 first-round center Mason McTavish. The Ducks haven't named their long-term GM replacement for Bob Murray, and they haven't "traded away the top prospect" deep into their rebuild, so they'll have to tread carefully if they go looking for Chychrun.
Tuukka Rask signed a PTO with AHL Providence last week. When the Bruins had deployed Jeremy Sweetman and Linus Ulmark, both with .918 save percentages, but still hoped to bring their longtime veteran starters back to the field, the message it sent was, This team still believes it can be in the Stanley Cup. The Bruins are fourth in the Atlantic Division, but they have played fewer games than their opponents and still maintain a 0.613-point percentage.
In recent seasons, from Torey Krug to Zdeno Chara, they've lost too many assets from the D's left flank. Adding Chychrun to a top four that already includes Charlie McAvoy would dramatically change Boston's identity and, in a sense, by bringing in a 23-year-old who was taken first overall by McCain in the 2016 draft Voy was later selected twice, thus "reversing" the team's competitive window to a circular one. In hockey, Chychrun would be ideal for Boston, but does general manager Don Sweeney have the assets to lure Armstrong? The Bruins' prospects, including right wing Fabian Lesser and center Johnny Beecher, lack an unmissable superstar, and most of their young NHL players have so far fallen short of expectations. Do the Bruins have to sacrifice Swayman or defensive back Brandon Carlo in order to make a serious offer for Chychrun?
Ezeman said he's open to making a major trade at this stage of Detroit's rebuild after the 2020-21 season — assuming he can acquire young, manageable assets. He was referring to Jakub Vrana, who he acquired at the time, and late that offseason he stole goalie Alex Nedeljkovic from the Carolina Hurricanes. Given his age and four years left on his contract, Chychrun theoretically fits Yzerman's criteria. Thanks to Moritz Seid, adding him to the D-corps, which are already on the rise, will accelerate a rebuild that has made significant strides so far this season, keeping the Wings on the outside of the playoffs. Chychrun will also be the friendly face of Detroit, having played AAA for the Little Caesars as a teenager and a junior with OHL's Sarnia Sting.
Of course, when one rebuilder trades with another rebuilder, the returns can be difficult to calculate. Arizona wants prospects and/or future assets, but Detroit is unlikely to part ways with first-rounders Seid and Lucas Raymond of the Izeman era, let alone Detroit's promising 2021 first-rounder. Round players, defenseman Simon Edvinson and goalkeeper Sebastian Corsa. Will the Coyotes bite into a first-round pick next year, coupled with a bargain sale of some prospects from previous Wings regimes (like Filip Zadina or Joe Veleno)?
From a business standpoint alone, Chychrun would be an exciting addition to the Panthers. Florida-born NHLer who played for the Florida Panthers as a kid? How cool would that be? From a hockey standpoint, he's the kind of player who can take the Panthers, already a high-end Stanley Cup contender, beyond the top. Their existing D-corps include Aaron Ekblad and Mackenzie Weegar, two of the best all-around players in the game, but they're both righties and they play together. The Panthers need a strong southpaw to work hard in the top four. Imagine Chychrun playing with Ekblad and Weegar reuniting with Gustav Forsling. The Panthers are also willing to be aggressive in their pursuit of the cup. (To learn more about GM Bill Zito's philosophy behind the way he traded with the Panthers, watch my interview with him later this week).
The Panthers will have to look at the trade from a salary-cap perspective, like Arizona, but they've shown they can accept salary to facilitate a deal. The Panthers also have some exciting young assets that could appeal to Arizona, from right wing Owen Tippett to left wing Grigory Jenisenko. The question is whether Armstrong will dig and demand center Anton Lendl.

Keep an eye out for the Armstrong link from Doug to Bill. Bill spent 15 years with the Blues organization, from scout to head of amateur scouting to assistant general manager, and maintained a long-standing relationship with Blues general manager Doug. That could make St. Louis invincible in the negotiations. Chychrun can help the Blues win at the moment, which is important because right-wing David Perron is a UFA in 2022, while centre-forward Ryan O'Reilly and right-wing winger Vladimir Tarasenko are a 2023 UFA.
Chychrun will also bring long-term stability to D-corps that have been unsuccessful in delivering top-to-star NHLers over the years. The Coyotes can speculate that Scott Perunovich will merge into one. Will they still insist that St. Louis play one of Robert Thomas and Jordan Keiro? The most intriguing element of the Blues-Coyotes deal is that Bill Armstrong will acquire assets that he played a major role in scouting during his time with the Blues.
Other notable Chychrun suitors:
Edmonton Oilers: The desire to win is there now, and there are some high-end 'D' prospects for oil.
Los Angeles Kings: Other than the Ottawa Senators, perhaps no team has a deeper level of promising trade prospects.
New York Islanders: They've been linked with Chychrun, but he's more of a long-term asset than a winner for a team that could miss the playoffs in 2021-22.
Senator of Ottawa: If they get frustrated with not being able to go further in the rebuild, Chychrun will let them move forward, and it's embarrassing that they have some young assets to offer Arizona.
Toronto Maple Leafs: They're all-in and thus come along with many high-profile trading targets, but their potential client base isn't as strong as it was a few years ago.

Information published on 3 October 2017 in the UIC electronic newsletter "UIC eNews" Nr 564.
Study Group "Wagon Users" met from 4 – 15 September 2017 at OSJD in Warsaw
The Study Group "Wagon Users" which represents UIC freight railway companies that apply the "General Contract for the Use of Wagons" (GCU; learn more about it at www.gcubureau.org) held its autumn meeting on 14 September 2017 in Warsaw, at the kind invitation of OSJD and PKP Cargo. On this occasion, the meeting was followed on 15 September 2017 by a Joint UIC/OSJD workshop on wagon use.
Managing the haulage of wagons from hundreds of keepers in trains by different railway undertakings throughout Europe is a complex undertaking in terms of responsibility, liability and maintenance, underlined Study Group chairman Mr Nicolas Czernecki from Fret SNCF (France). More than 10 years ago, the GCU replaced the RIV – the agreement among former state railways – in order to respond to market opening and competition in the EU. And during all these years, it is in continuous development due to evolving European legal framework and technological development.
Other than the former RIV, today's GCU does not contain any tariff issues or commercial agreement, but focuses entirely on responsibilities between railway undertakings and wagon keepers in cases where either technical failures are detected at a wagon during the operation of a freight train or a wagon not being at a given moment where it should be (e.g. due to lateness, re-routing, loss…). Any relationship regarding pricing and tariffs is strictly kept out of the contract and is left to individual, undisclosed commercial agreements between involved parties and between them and their customers.
As the GCU focuses on the railways of the European Union, the PGV Contract (Dogovor polzovanii gruzovymi vagonami v mezhdunarodnom soobshchenii – Contract on the use of freight wagons in international traffic) is governing the use and exchange of wagons between the OSJD members, i.e. in general the railways of the former Soviet Union, of Asian and European countries. PGV Contract is the one and only document for the most railway companies, contracting parties to PGV Contract, which makes it possible for them to transfer wagons in the international railway traffic between Europe and Asia. "Managing and administrating millions of wagons in an enormously large area of the world is an impressive challenge", said Mr Czernecki towards his OSJD colleagues during the workshop. "Since we are today talking about trans-continental corridors from Western Europe to China, we must keep in mind that UIC and OSJD railways will have to intensify their cooperation", he continued.
However, it became evident that the exchange of wagons with gauge-adjustable wheelsets has not yet met expectations. Transhipment of goods or changing bogies are still the predominant measures at border stations between the 1435 and 1520 mm gauge railway systems. At the Polish-Lithuanian border, cautious optimism is expressed towards Rail Baltica, the project of a new standard-gauge high-speed line for passenger and freight across the Baltic countries. However, the project is still in too early a stage for preparing investment in new standard-gauge wagons, said the representative of Lithuanian Railways.
All in all, the Joint UIC/OSJD Workshop has proved to be a good forum to exchange views and keep both railway "worlds" up to date about developments in trans-continental freight transport. The dialogue should be intensified.

Despite the abrupt end to Immelt's 15-plus year run as GE's CEO last year, Sonnenfeld says good leaders can thrive when given another chance, citing the case of Google's Eric Schmidt, who previously had a less-than-perfect exit from Novell, yet was transformational at Google.
The pairing would appear to be a perfect fit for both Immelt and Athenahealth. The company, led by CEO Jonathan Bush (nephew of President George H.W. Bush), has been under pressure from billionaire investor Paul Singer's Elliott Management Corp. to shake things up in response to slow sales growth. Immelt's experience in dealing with activist investors will likely prove very valuable to the company moving forward.
"He has highly complementary skills to Jon Bush," Sonnenfeld says. "Jeff's global vision, his large system skills, and his now battle-tested understanding of working with activists are all priceless resources. Athenahealth and Jon Bush have been stalked by activists, I think that Jeff realizes that short-termism can have a very corrosive effect, and they can push for the wrong timing of asset dispositions. He's been battle tested and hardened by that experience in very valuable ways for Jon Bush.
Prior to being named CEO, Immelt was president and CEO of GE's Medical Systems division (now known as GE Healthcare), and that experience is also likely to benefit Athenahealth in a big way.

Everything we know about Samsung Galaxy S23
Posted by By Walker Ronnie January 12, 2023
Samsung is about to launch its new top of the range, the primo smartphone premium outgoing in 2023. The first official marketing images have just leaked online and we thought it was a perfect time to take stock of what we know about Samsung Galaxy S23: specs, design, possible release date and price.
Samsung Galaxy S23: specs, design and everything we know
Samsung remains the first smartphone manufacturer in the world, capable of supplying products from a few hundred euros up to the foldable devices of the Galaxy X series. But the flagship of Samsung's production remains the Galaxy S line, which it has been producing since 2010.
The new Samsung Galaxy S23 should retain the "triple edition" seen in the last three years: a "basic" model, a Plus version and an Ultra (which, like last year, will actually replace the Galaxy Notes and will have support for the S Pen). Here's everything we know about the new smartphones.
When will the new top of the range arrive?
Samsung in recent years has always presented its smartphones in February, preferring the first half of the month. The only exception is the launch of the Galaxy S21 series, which arrived in January. This year, however, the event of launch will be February 1, 2023.
Samsung has decided to hold the first Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event live, after years of online events due to Covid. The presentation will be held at Masonic Auditorium of San Francisco starting at 10:00 local time (19:00 in Italy).
The design of the new top of the range
In recent years the line Galaxy S has taken on a precise style, which it seems that Samsung wants to confirm this year too, albeit with small variations. But the back of the smartphone is marked by the cameras at the top left, arranged vertically.
Again this year the cameras will be raised and separated from the rest of the device only by a metal circle around the sensor. On the front a screen interrupted only by a punch-hole at top center. However, it appears that they will be more boxy than their predecessors.
The colors for the S23 and S23 Plus models – which are only slightly larger in terms of design than the basic model – should be black, green and pink.
Instead, the model Galaxy S23 Ultra should retain last year's design, with a sharper profile and the ability to insert the S Pen into the smartphone. In addition to the three main cameras, there are two other supporting sensors on the back.
As for the colors, they should be the same as in the basic version with the addition of white.
Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus e S23 Ultra: le specifiche
From the point of view of the specifications there are several new things to come, especially with regard to the camera of the Ultra model, which they should have a 200MP sensor.
Processor and technical specifications
Recently, Qualcomm and Samsung announced a global agreement for the supply of smartphone chips. There's no specifics in the statement, but judging by the timeline it seems like confirmation of that Samsung Galaxy S23 is expected to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, it is not to be excluded that Samsung mounts a homemade Exynos chip in some markets (such as the Korean one, but perhaps also the European one). SamMobile reports that an enhanced version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could also arrive.
Your device should have Qualcomm modems and support for WiFi 6E e Bluetooth 5.3, the fastest standards currently available.
There are no confirmations regarding RAM and memory, but it seems reasonable to assume that Samsung will not decrease the amount compared to last year: at least 8GB of RAM and 120GB to 1TB storage.
Galaxy S23 should have a 6.1-inch screen, while the 6.6-inch Plus model, both with resolution FHD+ and 2340 x 1080. The Ultra model will instead have a screen of 1440p e refresh rate yes 120Hz (in this area, expect some technological surprises on the stage of the presentation).
Finally, the battery should range from 4,000mAh of the basic model to 5,000mAh of the Ultra model (Plus at 4,700mAh), with fast charging at 25W for the basic model and 45W for the Ultra. There will be support for both wireless charging and reverse charging of headphones and other small devices.
Samsung shouldn't change too much photographically for the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus models, which will have sensors with the same specs as last year. Then a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide angle and a 10MP telephotowhile in front we find a sensor for i selfie da 10MP.
The Ultra model instead will have the first 200MP camera, nearly doubling from last year's 108MP. It should be the sensor Samsung ISOCELL HP2capable of capturing much more light than the current equipment.
Otherwise, the equipment should remain similar. 12MP ultra-wide angle, two 10MP telephotos with the ability to zoom up to 100x, and a 40MP front sensor for selfies. However, Samsung should debut the Ultra Stabilization, capable of recording video that will compete with the Action Mode of the iPhone. Expect other software news: at Samsung Unpacked there will be a lot of talk about photographs and videos.
Samsung Galaxy S23: the possible prices
Samsung is expected to keep prices the same as last year when new devices are launched, using the same tactic adopted by Apple for iPhones. Then in the US they will launch for $799 for the Basic, $999 for the Plus, and $1,199 for the Ultra (more taxes).
In Italy the situation could be different, with some increases compared to the past. Last year the base model it cost 879 euros at launch, while the Plus 1,079 and the Ultra 1,279 euros. At the moment it is difficult to evaluate any price increases, which may not even arrive. But be prepared to shell out a little more.
These are the information currently available on the Samsung Galaxy S23 and its "brothers" Plus and Ultra. We will keep you updated on any news.

Can George Campbell stay healthy? Can Keith Gavin become a consistent threat? Will Tamorrion Terry and Deonte Sheffield play like they did in the spring game in a real game? Which freshmen receiver will step up?
As you can see, the Seminoles have talent at every wide receiver position. The players should also be set up for more success with Taggart's system, which requires the receivers just to know their routes rather than everyone else's as well. The simplicity could lead to absolutely lethal results.
Nyqwan Murray and DJ Matthews were developing into a dangerous tandem prior to Murray's injury early in spring practice. Both players are quick and athletic with a knack to make plays. Matthews looks to be a rising star.
George Campbell and Keith Gavin are both heading into their juniors years and they need to produce sooner rather than later if they don't want to be passed up on the depth chart. Campbell has been oft-injured during his career but the problem was rumored to be finally taken care of this offseason. Gavin flashes the talent of a top receiver but he's extremely inconsistent. Both players will have a chance to earn their spots in fall camp.
Tamorrion Terry and Deonte Sheffield were two of the stars in the spring. Terry caught five passes for 129 yards and score during the Garnet and Gold game while Sheffield reeled in nine catches for 117 yards and a score. Both guys flashed big play ability in the Gulf Coast offense and they each could develop into key players as the season moves on.
Terry's frame and leaping ability make him an absolute weapon. He's also quicker than former FSU star Auden Tate. The Georgia native has all of the talent in the world and Taggart is trying to take advantage of it.
The newcomers will also be trying to stake their claim as the `Noles signed one of their most talented wide receiver classes in recent memory. Warren Thompson, Tre'Shaun Harrison, D'Marcus Adams, Jordan Young, and Keyshawn Helton are all extremely capable players.
Thompson, Harrison, Adams, and Young all have a chance to see playing time depending on their performance during camp. Harrison and Young especially are great with the ball in their hands and could create plenty of big plays early in their careers. This freshman class will be extremely exciting by the time they're leaving Tallahassee.
New wide receivers coach David Kelly should have a lot of fun with the tools at his disposal. If he can squeeze production out of Campbell and Gavin while boosting his younger guys, Florida State could have an exciting year through the air. It's up to this unit to challenge themselves and realize their potential if they want to Do Something.

There are new multiplayer game modes, many different types of customizations, and various new map dynamics. As far as the Zombies gameplay is concerned, its new storyline Dark Aether is gaining quite a lot of praise as of late.
Plus the fact that there is a plethora of new and impressive weapon set, and one couldn't have asked for more. However, this plethora of weapons spread across various tiers might also be a cause of concern for many as it becomes really difficult in settling for that perfect weapon. If you echo these thoughts as well, then this tutorial is here to help you out. In this guide, we have shared the best weapons tier list for Black Ops Cold War Zombies. Follow along.

Assault Rifles Tier List
SMG Tier List
LMG Tier List
Sniper Rifles Tier List
Tactical Rifles Tier List
Pistol Tier List
Shotgun Tier List
We have mentioned some of the very best weapons spanning the Assault Rifles, SMG, LMG, Tactical and Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Pistol Tier lists. So without any further delay, let's get on with the list:
Let's begin this guide with the weapon set that stands at the top of the priority queue for many. So, here are the three best weapons part of the assault rifles tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies.
XM4: Well, there was not much to ponder about in this. With one of the strongest damage, impressive accuracy, and great control, this had to occupy the top spot. If you are into medium to long rate combat, this has to be your go-to weapon.
Krig 6: While XM4 might have a few shortcomings when it comes to short-range, Krig 6 more than makes up for that. While it isn't the absolute best for long-range, yet it comes out to be the winner in the shorter distance combats. On the other hand, if you wish to overcome its long-range weakness, you should consider using the appropriate attachments.
AK-47: If we talk in absolute damage capability, then this one is right there at the top. Unfortunately, that is its only USP. It tends to fall short on the speed and accuracy meter and hence isn't a preferable choice for long combats, and just about makes up for it in mid-range battles.
Let's now turn our attention towards the best SMG weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies.
MP5: If you have ever graced this game, then you might have already guessed that MP5 is going to occupy the top spot. When a weapon manages to perform quite impressive in all the three fronts, damage, speed, and accuracy, then there's not much left to ask from it. Plus the fact that its capabilities get further improved with attachments proves to be the icing on the cake.
AK-74u: Another pretty handy SMG alternative, it comes with decent damage, speed, and accuracy. definitely a tough competitor for the MP5 for the top spot.
Milano 821: When it comes to controlling and power factors, it's hard not to mention this one. Just the fact that it doesn't tick mark one of the important prerequisite of a submachine gun (aka a good fire rate) leads to a lower rank in this pecking order.
After the SMG, here is the best LMG weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies.
Stoner 63: With a healthy fire rate and an amazing control for a weapon of its size, there's not much left to be desired. Furthermore, it also passes the accuracy-test with flying colors, though most of its abilities are limited to short and mid ranges.
RPD: LMG has an impressive collection of weapons that comes with good weapon control. After the Snoter 63, is another one that fulfills these criteria. Alongside that, it causes a decent amount of damage and is quite good with its speed as well. So where it falls short as compared with the former? Well, it's just that its accuracy isn't as good as the former.
M60: Although it has decent accuracy and handling, yet it is nowhere near what the above two have to offer. Then the fact that it has a below-par rate of fire makes the matter worse for it.
It's now time to discuss the best Sniper Rifles weapon weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, follow along.
Pelington 703: Snipers are used for that perfect one-shot kills. In this regard, the performs exceptionally well. Add to its commendable accuracy and handling, and no doubt it eases pass all the other snipers with ease.
LW3 – Tundra: It is still the second-best in near every aspect as compared to Pelington. But once you use it with the right attachment, well it could easily give a tough competition to the former.
M82: While on one hand, it could easily brag about being the only semi-auto sniper rifle, yet there is nothing much to cheer about. Its recoil and handling capacity are decent at the very most.
Talking about the Tactical Rifles weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, here are the noteworthy entry in this domain:
DMR 14: While some might count it among the snipers, but it is definitely much faster than the latter. Well, some even call it a sniper with a faster reload and quick action time, and we can't deny this statement.
M16: This assault rifles perform quite well in all threes sections: damage, speed, and accuracy.
Type 63: When it comes to accuracy and damages, it surpasses all expectations, in a positive aspect. But more often than not, you will have to take the help of an attachment. It is this dependency of Type 63 on the attachment that some might prefer to maintain a safe distance from him and hence it slips to number three in this list.
Talking about the best pistol weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, here are some of the noteworthy ones:
Diamatti: This is among the most solid offerings on the specs sheet and proves to be equally useful in practical application. Then its accurate burst fire further makes it the go-to Pistol for many.
1911: A semi-automatic weapon with decent ammo and accuracy, it does its job without much flare or exaggeration. Nothing way beyond ordinary as such but there's nothing to complain about either.
Magnum: If you have the skill and accuracy in you, then only go for this weapon. Otherwise, it might give you a hard time handling it. On the positive side though, it is capable enough to cause decent damage.
Let's end this guide with the best shotgun weapons tier list in Black Ops Cold War Zombies.
Gallo SA12: There are only two shotguns in this game, and if you area fan of semi-automatic, then there's no other choice than to go with this one.
Hauer 77: Along the same lines, users who are onto the pump shotguns have to settle for Hauer 77.
With this, we conclude this list of the best weapons tier list for Black Ops Cold War Zombies. Do let us know your preferred tier list as well as its associated weapon in the comments section below. Rounding off, here are some equally useful iPhone Tips and Tricks, PC tips and tricks, and Android Tips and Tricks that you should check out as well.

U.S. Open: Can an international golfer win for the third straight year?
By Jerry Tapp on June 17, 2012 | Leave a comment
Sports Stats 'on Tapp' is a sports statistics blog published daily that focuses on stats that go beyond the numbers.
Jim Furyk (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The final round of the 118th U.S. Open tees off today at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. American Jim Furyk and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell go into the final round tied for the lead at one-under-par.
Here's a couple of stats to whet your appetite for today's final round.
* First, can you answer this trivia question? What three countries have placed the most golfers in the top 10 of the U.S. Open in the last 25 years? You're probably pretty sure you know one of the three countries, but if you can correctly name the countries that ranked second and third, you've aced the test.
The answer: The United States, England and South Africa.
Of the 12 players who currently make up the Top 10 (and ties) after the third round, there are seven Americans and five international players. The international contingent has won the last two U.S. Opens and six of the last eight. In this century, there have been only three Americans that have won this tournament: Tiger Woods (twice), Jim Furyk and Lucas Glover.
Following are the countries that have placed the most golfers in the top 10 of the U.S. Open in the last 25 tournaments.
United States: 69
England: 11
South Africa: 9
Australia: 7
Canada: 7
Sweden: 6
Note: In the last five (2007-2011) U.S. Opens, the U.S. has placed 29 golfers in the top 10, followed by England with six and Sweden with five.
* Finally, in looking at the last 25 U.S. Opens, in how many of those tournaments has the eventual winner been in the lead or tied for the lead after the third round? The answer: 48 percent. In 10 of the last 25 tourneys, the eventual champion led after three rounds, and in two tourneys the winner was tied for the lead going in to the final round.
Following are the scenarios of each winner in the past 25 U.S. Opens:
Winner was the leader after the third round: 10
Winner was tied for the lead after the third round: 2
Winner was one shot back after the third round: 5
Winner was two shots back after the third round: 1
Winner was three shots back after the third round: 3
Winner was four shots back after the third round: 3
Winner was five or more shots back after the third round: 1
Note: No golfer has come from more than five shots back on the final day to win the U.S. Open since 1987. The largest third round deficit was in 1998 when Lee Janzen came from five shots back after the third round to beat Payne Stewart by one stroke for his second title.
