Favorite Film: "As a sports management major, I would say that my favorite film in that regard is Moneyball, which is what really got me into sports."
Favorite Show: "House of Cards, without question. As someone who is very interested in the intersection between sports and politics—but at the same time understands just how much politics proliferate in our society—I just love anything that pulls the curtain back on what goes on in Washington."
Favorite Quote: "I would pull this one from this movie that I watched called Glengarry Glen Ross. It's a 1989 film and NYU graduate Alec Baldwin is in the movie for one scene. In the scene, he goes on this eight-minute, profanity-laced speech and the line that he continually goes back to is: "If you want to work here, close." That's something that I realized in my life. When times are tough and things are hard, when you're on the fourth chapter of this book you're trying to write and you hit a wall or it's late and you don't want to do the homework you have due the next day, you have to close. For me, that is working hard, getting the job done, finishing assignments and really putting in the work so that one day I can reap the benefits of it. "If you want to work here, close" is something that I think about every day."
Fun Fact: "I guess a fun fact about me would be that I flew a plane once. It was amazing. I was up there and you look down and everything just looks so much smaller. We flew over football fields that when you're on the ground, seem like a massive complex, but when you're in the air, it's like nothing. I promised myself that one day I would go back and get a solo pilot's license. It's one of those unfinished goals, one of those things that I have to close if I want to do it."
HC NYU: So you mentioned that you are very interested in sports. What sports do you play?
EN: I play rugby for NYU and I played high school football. As I talked about in my book, I was recruited by a number of schools to play football. It came down to coming here for academics or going to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for sports. I decided to come here, and really my favorite activity is that I get to play rugby. It was an interesting transition for me from playing football to rugby, but I'm having a blast.
HC NYU: What sparked your interest in sports?
EN: I was a big football fan since probably 5th or 6th grade. I wanted to emulate some of my favorite players, one of those being Drew Bledsoe who played quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. I would stay up all night watching different footages and films and trying to see how did Drew Bledsoe grip a football—what was his exact throwing motion. When I was playing sports in high school, I realized all the different ways that this [sports] can be such a good change for society—how different things start at the NFL or the MLB and different community initiatives that they've took. At the NFL, they're taking a stand against domestic violence. They have an anti-bullying project right now at Sports and Society here at NYU. For me, I'm very involved with the NYU Roosevelt Institute and I wrote their inaugural blog post for this year in which I argue that sports teams and professional sports franchises can act as anchor organizations and communities. There is an amazing amount of community service that sports teams do—Steve Tisch recently donated 1.2 million dollars to NYC's youth and he's one of the owners of the [New York] Giants. Sports can really make an impact on society and change the culture of America.
HC NYU: How about politics? What was the start of your interest in politics?
EN: My senior year of high school, we had this thing called "Senior Service" which is during the May of your senior year; you can go do either a community service project or an internship. I chose to intern for a couple of state legislators from my own district—State Senator Gerald Cardinale and State Assemblyman Bob [Robert] Auth. Often I developed a nice relationship and I really got to see how the legislative process works. I got to see bills come up in committee, I got to sit in the caucus rooms and see how politics work on a state level. But really, I got to see the sweeping effect of how politics is really ubiquitous in society. When you start to understand how politics really intersect in all different places—from economy to education to sports—you start to understand that if you are more politically aware, you can be better for it in your own academic field of interest. So from there, I went and I became a team leader on U.S. Congressman Scott Garrett's campaign for re-election this fall, which he won. I was so happy to be on that team and really feel the sense of pride and victory in that I helped. I interned officially for him in his office during the winter through January. From there, I was fortunate enough to land an internship with Governor Chris Christie in his Office of Community and Constituent Relations. As I look toward the future, I'm working on the Closter Improvement Commission, which is a political committee dedicated to bringing residents closer together. To feel like I am a part of it—making an impact on the local level of something—it's an opportunity that I truly covet.
HC NYU: I'm just curious—a criticism of the U.S. is that many people are not interested in politics and therefore do not vote. Why do you think that is and what are some suggestions you would give to help people become more aware?
EN: I believe politicians need to showcase how politics can be relevant to each individual. If you have a certain interest, there is some way that politics can pertain to you. Like I said, would you ever think that a sports management major could find a true secondary love in politics? You wouldn't, but when you look into how Pete Rozelle's Congress for the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 or American Needle vs. the NFL Lawsuit, you look at all these different ways of passing legislation, getting a decision into court—all of this can affect you so much. I'm taking a public speaking course this semester and we're taught that when you deliver a speech—if you really want to get your audience to listen—you have to make it relevant to them. I think that you can extrapolate that idea out onto a more global scale with politics. We as politicians should be concerned with how relevant our different political views and interests are to the mass populous. I think that every American should vote. I really, really do because I think that every American should have a say in his or her legislative process. When you start to see a larger voter turnout, that's when you start to see things getting passed that the majority of the American populous actually wants to get passed.
HC NYU: What are some of your other activities and interests besides politics and sports?
EN: I love writing and this was reflected since I was little. When I was sixteen, I was a featured columnist for Bleacher Report. Now, I'm the Managing Editor of the NYU Economics Review. So that's [writing] something that I feel strongly, passionately about. I like reading as well. Those kind of go hand and hand—that's why I'm so satisfied that I've found a financially stable career path in law that is so based on writing and reading. Aside from that, I love public speaking; I spoke at my high school graduation and that was an amazing feeling. I guess the last thing in interests and activities would just be a passion for community service. I was recently named the Coordinator of Service Projects for NYU Project OutReach and that was a program that I was a participant in since 2014. Having the opportunity to partner with some great charity initiatives that are on the rise in NYC and introduce certain service-minded individuals—like I once was—to what it means to serve in New York City is just something that I feel strongly and passionately about. I'm really excited for the program to get going.
HC NYU: What are some of your favorite books?
EN: I'm in the middle of The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell which is about social epidemics and how certain products can "tip". Gladwell talks about how you need certain different things to fall into place for an object, an item, even a social epidemic to occur. It's something that's very interesting for me and as it relates to my academic field of Sports Management and it's a required book for a consumer behavior class that I'm taking. Another book that I recently read was one that my statistics teacher in high school recommended to me, The Black Swan by the Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It's a very dense, statistical, almost an argument of sorts about how events that have occurred throughout history and how events that changed the face of society today are events that we couldn't have really predicted. It's a very interesting book to read; I was just getting into statistics and then this book sort of just rocked my world.
HC NYU: On the topic of books, congratulations on publishing Good Enough! Tell me a little about your book and what inspired you to write it?
EN: Let's flash back to July; I want to say that it's July 1st—and that is so storybook that I'm starting on the first day—but I'm sitting in a hotel room in Nashville, Tennessee. I was chosen as 1 of 150 individuals to speak at the Future Business Leaders of America Leadership Conference for the year 2014. The speech that I delivered at the conference was similar to the speech that I gave at my graduation, which was about redefining being "good enough" and that being good enough is not a product of what an admissions counselor says, but rather, what you say. Being a fit on a college campus is not whether an admissions counselor accepts you, but whether you feel like you belong. So I'm sitting there in my room, I had just given my speech to the panel of judges and I thought to myself, there is a story here. There's a story here that I can't convey in a four or five minute speech. So I started to write and I just kept writing and for me, honestly, I feel like this book wrote itself. I feel like this book wrote itself, it titled itself and now it's almost marketing itself because this is a story that resonates with people and so many people have gone through this. To date, there's no real story from the eyes of a high school senior about the college admissions process, about getting rejected from college. So I felt it relevant to write about that and now, I'm happy to see the book gaining traction. If I can change one person's outlook on the college process and make them see that they are good enough, regardless of what an admissions counselor—in a very paper-oriented, essay-driven evaluation of an individual—says, that would be fantastic.
EN: Get involved. I'll tell you this—every list or email or newsletter, I subscribe to it and I read it and I read through everything. Be aware of everything going on around campus. Go to meetings, get out of your dorm because—as I alluded earlier in those "Black Swan" events—those things that you wouldn't even think could have happened, happens. I'm very interested in pursuing a Marshall or Rhodes scholarship and going and studying in the U.K. and pursuing a graduate degree there. In November, NYU had a Crafting the Personal Statement for Law School Workshop. Now, I'm just in my first year here at school and I have a good amount of time before I even have to think about writing a personal statement for my law school application, but I went anyway and who did I meet there? None other than Dr. Jenni Quilter, who is the Director of the NYU Office of National Scholarships. You'd never think that you'd go to a law school personal statement workshop and meet someone who does something that pertains to another interest of yours. I'm now in constant contact with Dr. Quilter; that relationship would not have become if I hadn't at least gone to that event. So, just getting out of my dorm, going to all these different things and being aware of everything happening on campus, my advice for NYU students: do everything you can—within reason—do everything you can.
HC NYU: So—switching topics here—what is your ideal romantic date in NYC?
EN: So, I want to get dressed up and I want to get excited about looking my best, getting ready and having a girl who wants to do that as well. Maybe go to a really fancy restaurant for dinner and get dessert at someplace classy as well. I want to re-experience that giddy excitement of trying to impress a girl by putting on my best button-down shirt, standing in front of a mirror with three or four ties and trying to put them against my shirt, being like which one looks the best? So that is definitely something that appeals to me, something classy where the two of us can be seen together looking really nice, not just for the people who are out in town, but for each other and wanting to impress one another. I think that—in any relationship—that is very important.
HC NYU: What are some attractive qualities you look for when dating someone?
EN: Passion. When I say that, I mean I want a girl who really cares about something. Whether it's a cause about which she feels strongly, whether it's a craft at which nobody can beat her, that she really feels strongly and passionate about. Something that she does or something going on in her life that she can talk about, that she can do and that she can get lost in. I think that the most attractive thing for a girl is watching a girl really get caught up in and lost in something that she's doing, something that she cares and feels strongly about, whatever that is. I think it's just an amazing quality and an amazing thing to watch. I also love a girl who is really clever; I love word play. I guess I'm old-fashioned in that I don't mind love letters. In fact, I enjoy them. I took a creative writing class this January and I wrote so much poetry. So, definitely a girl whom I could share that poetry with or a girl who would—to take it a step further—write poetry about us. So it all boils down to that willingness to be passionate and lose yourself a little bit.

Woman Who Had Been Missing 6 Years Body Is Found: No Foul Play: Probable Suicide
Paragraph 15 reads: "Smith had taken antidepressants and had been seeing a therapist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. The Andersons have said they didn't believe she left on her own because she left many of her personal belongings, like her driver's license, credit cards and asthma medication."
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/sep/23/father-confirms-his-daughters-body-was-found-insid/
By George Diepenbrock
September 23, 2010, 1:37 p.m. Updated September 23, 2010, 2:39 p.m.
For more than six years, family members, friends and investigators held out hope that Lesley Smith would be found safe.
She had disappeared from her parents' west Lawrence home with their minivan the night of Jan. 26, 2004, leaving behind many of her own belongings.
The case baffled investigators and family members in both its early stages and years later as they still looked for clues.
But the resolution they didn't want became a reality Thursday. Coroner's investigators used dental records to identify Smith as the body discovered Tuesday inside a vehicle  the 1990 brown Plymouth Voyager belonging to her parents  that was pulled from Clinton Lake.
"To have it come to a conclusion like this is very disappointing and discouraging," said Sgt. Jim Martin, of the Lawrence Police Department's investigations division.
The big break in the missing-person case turned out to be a new piece of side scan sonar equipment used by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Tuesday's search of the lake turned up several objects that parks employees thought to be vehicles underwater, and a Douglas County Sheriff's underwater search team was called to investigate.
Typically vehicles in the lake are stolen, sheriff's officials said.
The team eventually pulled the minivan, which was 19 feet under the water, from an area 175 feet from Boat Ramp No. 1 inside Clinton State Park in the northeastern part of the lake. The body was sent to the Douglas County coroner's office for an autopsy, and medical investigators used a forensic dental expert to identify Smith.
The autopsy determined drowning to be the cause of death, sheriff's and police officials said. Based on that, plus an investigation of the vehicle and the circumstances of her disappearance, investigators do not suspect foul play.
"There was nothing to indicate that there was anything suspicious," Martin said.
As investigators consider the case closed, the circumstances of finding the body still leave the family with as many questions as Smith's disappearance, said her father, Jack Smith, of Ottawa.
"I'd like to have more answers," he said. "It might take awhile or whatever. Right now I'm very curious."
Lesley Smith, who was 38 at the time, had lived with her mother and stepfather, Marilyn and Gary Anderson, who live in west Lawrence.
According to news reports, the Andersons last saw Smith watching TV that night at their home. Marilyn Anderson said she found a note from Smith the next morning that alluded to medication and said, "I love you so much."
Smith had taken antidepressants and had been seeing a therapist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. The Andersons have said they didn't believe she left on her own because she left many of her personal belongings, like her driver's license, credit cards and asthma medication.
"This case went on for nearly six-and-a-half years, and it was a difficult case for us because this individual essentially left no trail behind as to where she'd gone," Martin said.
Police conducted several searches in the region looking for the vehicle. They checked wooded areas. They conducted air searches.
Sonar was used to search area lakes and the Kansas River, Martin said.
"Early on at that time there was some type of sonar used in 2004, but it wasn't the technology that it is today," he said.
Smith's name was entered into a national database for missing people, and John Hanson, the lead detective in the case, would periodically check in with the database to see if anything developed. Investigators also took a DNA sample from Marilyn Anderson in case anything turned up in a national database.
In past interviews with the Journal-World, the Andersons talked about their own exhaustive searches. They even consulted psychics. In a 2007 interview the Andersons talked about time passing not making it any easier to deal with the disappearance.
"Nothing ever showed up on this, so it was a very mysterious case," Martin said. "It just seemed like she had disappeared off the face of the earth. It was very difficult for the family. It was hard for us."
Unfortunate ending
Once they received the coroner's report identifying Smith, detectives notified the Andersons Thursday morning.
"It's a conclusion for them," Martin said. "It's not what they wanted, but they'll at least not have to worry and wonder what happened to their daughter."
Martin said some things would never be known about the case, including Smith's mental state. He said the coroner's report determined there was no foul play in her death.
Beyond the coroner's investigation, Martin said investigators would not comment further about how the vehicle ended up in the lake.
"The case is now closed for both us and the family," he said. "And, unfortunately, it didn't end the way we wanted it to."
The Andersons also declined to comment about the case Thursday. Funeral arrangements for Smith are pending.
"It's good and bad," her father Jack Smith said. "It's good to have finally found out, but it's bad because it's not the outcome that I wanted. It's kind of mixed feelings."

Q: In the twin paradox or twins paradox what do the clocks of the twin and the distant star he visits show when he's at the star? In the twins paradox of relativity one twin stays on earth while the other travels to a star ten light years away, and then immediately flies back. Because his rocket travels at just under the speed of light, the entire (including the return) journey takes just under twenty years as measured by clocks on earth, but only a day, say, according to the clocks on the rocket. Furthermore, the twin on earth has physically aged by twenty years, while the traveling twin has aged only a day.
If the clocks at the distant star are synchronized with those on earth, (Einstein synchronized, if that helps, which just means that looking at across the ten light year gap, each would see ten year old light indicating a time that was ten years less than one's own clock shows, a symmetrical situation) what do they say the time is when the twin arrives there and what do the clocks on the rocket say?
Note, "paradox" might be a bit of a misnomer, as it's really just counterintuitive.

A: This is a straightforward calculation. We assume the spaceship and Earth synchronise their clocks so the spaceship leaves at time zero for the 10 light year trip to Tralfamador, and the clocks on Tralfamador have been (Einstein) synchronised with those on Earth so that the Earth and Tralfamador clocks always show the same time. The spaceship's speed measured in Earth coordinates is given by some function $v(t)$ and we are not assuming any particular form for the function $v(t)$.
In Earth (and Tralfamador) coordinates the arrival time $T$ at Tralfamador is then given by:
$$ \int_0^T v(t) dt = 10~\text{light years} \tag{1} $$
Now to find the elapsed time on the spaceship clock we have to compute the proper time $\tau$ for the journey using the Minkowski metric:
$$ c^2 d\tau  = c^2 dt^2 - dx^2 \tag{2} $$
Since the proper time is the same for all coordinate systems we can do this in the Earth/Tralfamador coordinates. We do the calculation by noting that $dx = v(t)dt$ and substituting this into our equation to give (after some rearrangement):
$$ d\tau = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2(t)}{c^2}} dt \tag{3} $$
then we integrate to find the proper time:
$$ \tau = \int_0^T \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2(t)}{c^2}} dt \tag{4} $$
The elapsed time on the spaceship's clock is equal to the proper time, so the spaceship's clock will show the time $\tau$ when it arrives at Tralfamador while the clocks on Tralfamador will show the time $T$.
The values of $T$ and $\tau$ will depend on the form of the function $v(t)$, but note that for any $v(t) \ne 0$ the square root in equation $(4)$ is less than one so integrating will give a value of $\tau < T$ i.e. the time has been dilated on the spaceship.
If we wanted to include the return journey we simply do the same calculation in reverse for the return leg.

A: This is an example of the relativity of simultaneity. Let's suppose the distances and speeds are such that the journey takes exactly 10 years in the Earth frame and 12 hours in the ship frame.
When the twin arrives at the star, the clock on the star will read 10 years, while the clock on the spaceship with show 12 hours.
The time dilation effect is entirely symmetrical, so in the traveller's frame, the clock on the distant star has advanced only 12 hours since the start of the traveller's journey. In the traveller's frame the time at the distant star when the traveller started their trip was minus ten years, so from the traveller's perspective the clock on the distant star was out of synch by ten years.

A: In the following "clock" means a clock that is just under 10 light years away from earth, and said clock reads zero at the start of the journey, and it shows the number of years passed. And I'm answering the question: "what do they say the time is when the twin arrives there". And finally, I changed the distance to just under 10 light years, to save some typing.
Earth twin says: The clock reads 10 years
Traveling twin says: The clock reads 10 years
Earth twin says: The travel took 10 years, during that time the clock proceeded 10 years.
Traveling twin says: "The travel took a half day, during that time the clock proceeded a few seconds. Except if we decide to say that the travel took a half day, during that time the clock proceeded 10 years, almost all of that proceeding happened during my acceleration".
As for reference, I refer to all the literature of the twin paradox. I mean all parts of twin paradox have been explained many times.

A: Some time ago I produced a series of animations of the "Twin Paradox" which show the view from the traveling twin, looking back at the starting point.  There is a combined clock in the top left corner showing the traveler's proper time, coordinate time, and the time on a clock on the "home station" at all times during the journey.  In addition, there is a line of clocks showing coordinate time along the entire distance.  There are no mysteries, paradoxes or sleight of hand here; just look at the clocks!
Here is the explanatory text from YT (note, truncated links within are not working, go to the page to use them!):

The twin "paradox" (in quotes because it is NOT a real paradox!) is a
basic teaching scenario for Special Relativity:
https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/TwinParadox/twin_intro.html
This is a series of visualizations of the journey from the point of
view of the traveling twin, who flies 20 light years away from his
home station then returns.  The journey consists of four parts, joined
together.  The first quarter is an acceleration away from the station.
During the second and third quarters the ship accelerates towards the
station (so that at the half way point the ship is stationary 20 light
years away).  In the fourth quarter the ship accelerates away from the
station in order to come to rest there.
The total coordinate travel time (shown as a red dot in the top left
HUD clock) is 43.711/58.918 years for acceleration at earth/moon
gravity levels, whilst proper time (green dot) is 12.101/38.694 years.
The yellow dot represents the time the traveler would see on the
station clock face through a very powerful telescope!  The octahedral
stations (spaced one light year apart and one light year to the left
of the flight path) are all synchronized to coordinate time and rotate
once over the course of the whole journey.  There is a 2x2 light year
wall one light year beyond the far end of the journey, and large
rectangular frames every 5 light years.  Where a floor is shown it is
1 light year per stripe, and there are small 1 ly milestone spheres
along the way, with a larger one every five light years.
The flights are rendered without relativistic effects and then for two
values of acceleration (currently earth gravity and moon gravity).
The distortion artifacts are due to aberration of light, the Doppler
effect and the headlight effect.  The earth gravity videos exhibit
some nice Penrose-Terrel "rotation" effects.  Magenta markers in a
circle show where you really are in the scene (in the sense that
things outside the circle are behind you, whilst those inside the
circle are in front of you.  Doppler shift = gamma for this circle),
and grey markers show the circle where the Doppler shift is 1 (gamma
is in theory directly observable on this circle).
These videos were made with POV-Ray (https://www.povray.org/) and
avconv/ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org/) video encoding software.

No matter what business you are in, cyber security is becoming a key issue. It is increasingly likely that you have a reliance on the internet to trade and work. Many business now depend on online digital services to perform some or all functions that the business requires.
Almost everything can be done online in modern business – purchases, sales and banking – all examples of common business tasks done on a daily basis that may require internet services.
The data transferred in these transactions and stored by businesses is making the internet, or cyberspace, a productive target for criminals and online fraud.
Many large-scale cyber security breaches make the headlines but what is less well known is that around 70% of organisations keep their worst breaches secret.
It is estimated that in the UK there are around 1000 cyber attacks made on businesses each and every hour. Many of the unreported breaches never get into the public realm and are dealt with outside of law enforcement agencies.
Information, data and cyber security relate to similar things. It is becoming critical for businesses to take their responsibilities seriously in regards to information and data security. Data loss and the issues caused by losses are now becoming more common and serious, and people want to know their data is protected.

Biografia
Nato nella capitale dello Stato del Rio Grande do Sul, proveniva da una famiglia con una tradizione nella sartoria. Durante la sua carriera di calciatore non chiese mai alcun emolumento. Il calcio non fu l'unico sport che praticò: giocò anche a pallanuoto e fu anche canottiere per il Clube de Regatas Porto Alegre. In seguito al suo ritiro dal mondo del calcio giocato esercitò la professione di arbitro, ottenendo la qualifica nel 1943 e mantenendola fino al 1954.

Caratteristiche tecniche
Giocava come attaccante, occupando la fascia sinistra. Le sue principali peculiarità erano la potenza del tiro, effettuato con il mancino, e il dinamismo, supportato da una condizione atletica tale che gli consentiva di poter correre per recuperare palloni in varie parti del campo. Grazie alla sua esperienza in vari altri sport, era dotato di un fisico asciutto e muscoloso. Sopperiva dunque alla mancanza di una tecnica affinata con la tenuta fisica.

Carriera

Giocatore
Dopo aver giocato nel settore giovanile del São José, debuttò con il Grêmio il 18 novembre 1928. Fu dall'anno seguente che entrò stabilmente a far parte dei titolari: affiancò, nella linea d'attacco, il centravanti Luiz Carvalho. Con il Grêmio fu una presenza fissa per quattordici anni consecutivi, durante i quali assommò undici titoli. Lasciò il club dopo la partita con il Canto do Rio del 29 novembre 1942.

Allenatore
Dal 1943 al 1949 arbitrò regolarmente incontri di calcio. L'anno successivo divenne allenatore, prendendosi in carica la guida tecnica dell'Esperança, squadra di Novo Hamburgo. Nel 1953 realizzò una tournée in Europa con il Cruzeiro-RS, affrontando, tra le altre, il , e venendo a contatto con il calcio della Nazionale di calcio dell'Ungheria dell'epoca, la celebre Squadra d'oro.

L'11 gennaio 1955 venne assunto come allenatore del Grêmio, grazie anche all'intervento del suo ex compagno di squadra divenuto direttore sportivo Luiz Carvalho. Foguinho fece la fortuna di tale club, assemblando pezzo per pezzo una squadra tra le migliori del Brasile. Le influenze del calcio europeo permearono lo stile di gioco del Grêmio, che, oltretutto, curò maggiormente la preparazione fisica, acquisendo così un vantaggio sulle altre compagini. La squadra comprendeva vari giocatori di buon livello come Aírton Pavilhão, Gessy e Milton Kuelle, e nel 1956 vinse il suo primo titolo dall'arrivo di Foguinho, il campionato della città di Porto Alegre. A esso seguì quello nel torneo statale, che inaugurò una serie di doppie vittorie Cittadino-Statale che, tra il 1956 e il 1960, fruttarono alla società dalla maglia tricolore un totale di dieci titoli, equamente ripartiti tra le due competizioni.

I ripetuti successi indussero la Confederação Brasileira de Desportos ad affidarsi a lui per la guida tecnica della Nazionale di calcio brasiliana, che avrebbe dovuto affrontare nel marzo del 1960 il Campionato Panamericano. Foguinho debuttò sulla panchina della Seleção il 6 marzo contro il ; la formazione era composta da svariati giocatori provenienti dal Grêmio (cinque titolari, più altri due che subentrarono a partita in corso). La prima sconfitta arrivò nell'incontro successivo, quello del 10 marzo contro la , cui ne seguì un'altra con i rivali dell' per 2-1. In seguito il Brasile vinse tutti e tre i restanti incontri (contro le medesime selezioni) rispettivamente per 2-1, 4-0 e 1-0. Ciò, tuttavia, non fu sufficiente per ottenere il trofeo, che andò invece all'Argentina. Foguinho lasciò il posto di commissario tecnico a Vicente Feola e tornò al Grêmio. Nel 1962 lasciò anche questa panchina, assumendo nuovamente la guida del Cruzeiro-RS.

I'm working on hid keyboard example. How can I check whether multiple bytes are received & transmitted after I increase the assigned no. of bytes in input/output report? From the code I understood that nrf device can send 64 bytes to host device. So how do I append bytes in one packet of 64 bytes when sending to host? How does it work from host side? Does nrf read 1 byte at a time sent from host?
So how do I append bytes in one packet of 64 bytes when sending to host?
What do you mean by that? Do you want to increase the packet size so you can send more than 64 bytes?
I read somewhere that Windows machine accepts 64 bytes from BLE device. So accordingly I should make changes in HID descriptor which are - REPORT_COUNT = 64, REPORT_SIZE = 8. In the current situation, the below image demonstrates how many no. of bytes are sent/received in nrfConnect.
If I make the changes for 64 bytes, do I need to take care of any header bytes getting added to the packet or can all 64 bytes be data bytes? I know for sure that the first byte to be sent from nrf to pc should be report ID.
Also in the code, in which locations are the packet size actually being checked for input & output report?
I would like maximum size possible for input & output report for Windows OS & Mac OS.
I have tried other applications too.
And you get just one byte every time?
I'm not able to send 26 byte output report from all applications, after that the board just disconnects.
// This code assumes that the output report is one byte long. Hence the following static assert is made.
// The report received is not supported by this application. Do nothing.
In nrfConnect, I get this error. What does it mean? Does it mean I can only send 20 bytes?
With 20 bytes, I can send output report from all applications.
Have you tried changing the report descriptor for output report to accommodate 26 bytes?
Yes I did but I received BLE_GATT_OP_WRITE_CMD error and did a little search in Nordic forum. What should I do?
Which function returned that error?
This error was thrown by nrfConnect.
Should I increase the ATT MTU size?
Bluetooth disconnects if I try to increase the MTU size.
I want to receive 6kb file as an output report. What is the best way to do it?
Should the file be divided into data chunks? If yes then what should be the maximum size of the packet? Will it increase the throughput?
Please guide me with a few steps which I should follow.


Flowering Iris plants grow from both bulbs and rhizomes, they are a varied group with many species easy to grow in the UK.
Some Iris plants flower from true bulbs, including the much loved blue 'Dutch Iris', others such as the 'Bearded Iris' grow from rhizomes, all and are available for sale from specialist Nurseries by mail as bulbs or bare rooted dormant plants.
Growers in the UK have so many fantastic varieties and colors of this wonderful flowering species, the name the Greeks gave this flower 'Iris' really fits the flower, a species that derives its name from the greek word for rainbow. Or to be precise the messenger of love who traveled on the rainbow.
The Iris flower typically has 3 inner petals and 3 outer sepals, the sepals are referred to as falls as they tend to droop downwards. The petals of the iris flower are more upright and are referred to as standards.
Growing from rhizomes or bulbs depending on species, and with iris being found from cold areas to desert areas a wide range of species exist.
Bearded Iris are probably the most popular iris available for sale, however it is well worth exploring the wide world of iris, with dwarf iris, and iris that grow to over 1m, iris that handle very wet conditions and many iris that thrive in dry conditions they are truly a versatile plant.

The co-founder of Sovcombank announced plans for the withdrawal of the credit organization for an IPO after April 2019. The bank does not have an acute need for capital, and this statement is more of an image character, experts say.
Sovcombank is looking for a window to conduct an IPO after April 2019, co-founder of the credit organization Sergey Khotimsky said in an interview with Bloomberg. According to him, the bank plans to raise $ 300 million, which will allow it to increase capital by at least 20%. Khotimsky believes that the current negative attitude of foreign investors towards Russia and the banking sector should change.
As the banker specified, Sovcombank has no capital requirements, and the placement will take place only if the market conditions are favorable for the offer of shares.
Sovcombank - a large private bank with assets of 704 billion rubles, is included in the top 15 in the Russian banking market. The founders of Sovcombank and controlling shareholders are brothers Sergey and Dmitry Hotimskie.
After the crisis of 2014, Sovcombank experienced rapid growth, mainly due to its portfolio of securities, which at that time accounted for almost half of the assets. In March 2018, the bank announced the agreement to merge with RosEvroBank. Now the amount of assets of the two credit institutions is almost 900 billion rubles.
The bank does have a safety margin for capital, and it shows a good profit, so it does not have an acute need for raising funds, says Alexander Danilov, senior director of the group on financial organizations analysis Fitch Ratings.
According to the data of the Central Bank, the capital adequacy ratio of the bank (N1.0) was 12.3% with a minimum of 9.875% taking into account the buffer, the capital adequacy ratio (H1.1) - 7.7% with a minimum of 6.375%, and the standard capital adequacy ratio (H1.2) - 8.78% with a minimum of 7.875%.
According to Alexander Losev, the head of the Sputnik-Capital Management Company, usually a transaction begins to be announced long before it was committed, when one or two anchor investors were found.
When asked why it is more convenient for a bank to raise $ 300 million through an IPO than through the placement of a subordinated debt, Losev replied that the second is not the most desired tool for an investor.
"Shares allow to influence business decisions and receive profit from profits if it is distributed among shareholders. In addition, for investors who want synergy with the bank and business growth, such participation will be quite attractive, "the financier said.
With the help of additional capital raised through IPO, Sovcombank will be able to spur the pace of business development, adds Alexander Danilov.
"So far, the IPO statement looks preliminary in view of an indefinite period (for three years depending on the market situation) and is more like an image thing. As for the bank's readiness for additional requirements for transparency, Sovcombank is one of the most transparent banks in terms of reporting details and publicly disclosed additional disclosures, "concludes Danilov.

News Corp. Realigns TV, Film Businesses
By Shira Ovide and Sam Schechner
News Corp. announced a restructuring of its television and film operations, as President and Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin, who leads the company's entertainment businesses, prepares to depart.
The company's film and television production businesses will be combined under two News Corp. movie executives, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman, who currently serve as co-chairmen of Fox Filmed Entertainment. All of Fox's TV-entertainment networks will be folded under cable executive Tony Vinciquerra.
From left: Fox Sports' Dan Bell, Fox Broadcast president Peter Liguori and FX Networks's John Solberg
Peter Liguori, who oversees television programming for the Fox broadcast network, will step down from his post, the company said Thursday. Peter Rice, president of specialty-film division Fox Searchlight, will take over Mr. Liguori's role, reporting to Mr. Vinciquerra.
A management reshuffle had been expected following the announcement more than two weeks ago that Mr. Chernin will leave News Corp. when his contract expires this summer. News Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch has said he will oversee the Los Angeles-based businesses when Mr. Chernin departs, but the company's existing entertainment executives were expected to be given greater responsibility.
"This new creative structure will enable us immediately to operate more efficiently," Mr. Murdoch said in a staff memo. "We will remove unnecessary barriers that have existed between our businesses."
Executives at News Corp., which owns Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., have pushed for greater cooperation among its businesses, which also include satellite-television businesses in Europe, a stable of newspapers in the U.K. and Australia, local TV stations in the U.S. and the MySpace social-networking site.
Messrs. Gianopulos, Rothman and Vinciquerra are a collective stand-in for Mr. Chernin, who has been in his post for more than 12 years, holding together a diverse group of businesses and executives in Los Angeles. Mr. Chernin is exiting amid rising challenges for movie and television businesses as the faltering economy deflates advertising sales for broadcast television and local-TV stations, and as DVD sales -- the major profit center for film companies -- are slumping.
Mr. Vinciquerra had been responsible for the business side of Fox network, from advertising sales to relationships with affiliated local-TV stations. Adding the network's programming side -- including its prime-time TV lineup -- to the cable networks Mr. Vinciquerra oversees gives him responsibility for all of Fox's TV-entertainment networks, but not its cable-news outlets or TV stations, which are led by Roger Ailes.
The decision to put broadcast-network programming under an executive with a cable-heavy portfolio comes as the economic downturn is straining broadcast television's ad-supported business model. Cable networks have been hit less hard in the ad marketplace.
Mr. Rice, who has long been seen as a candidate for a more senior role, is moving over to the TV business after scoring a number of successes at Fox Searchlight, including Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire." Mr. Rice's deputies, Nancy Utley and Steve Gilula, will take over the reins at Fox Searchlight.

Plumbing Emergency
Earthquake: a Culprit in Toronto's Watermain Breaks
Tanya Klien January 10, 2013, 2:28 pm 1.5k Views
With an annual average of 1,400 water main break incidents, Toronto licensed plumbers are already considering other causes that could have caused the water pipes to break and explode. While the main culprit in the recent incidents was identified to be the unusually cold weather, Toronto licensed plumbers are now considering whether the earthquakes experienced in the nearby areas have affected its watermain breaks.
Age of Toronto's watermains
Toronto licensed plumbers admits that the city's watermains are quite old. They said that most of the pipes have been there for over 50 years and in fact, 17% of the watermains are more than 80 years old. They explained that because these pipes are old it is natural that the material is already weakened and may easily break.
Earthquake and watermains
When an earthquake happens, it causes movement in the Earth's surface. According to Toronto licensed plumbers, the Earth's movement causes the pipes to move. Considering that most of the pipes in the City are old and have become fragile, a slight movement of the Earth's surface could cause the pipes to break causing the large number of watermain break incidents all over the city every year.
Replace watermains to prevent breaks
Toronto licensed plumbers say that the only way to prevent anymore incidents of watermain breaks would be to repair the watermains. They explained that this can be done by testing the pipes and checking for areas that have already weakened. They said these areas should be replaced immediately to prevent exorbitant damages. In fact, they recommend that it would be best to replace entirely those watermains that are already over 80 years old.
Other causes
However, Toronto licensed plumbers said that extreme weather conditions and the effect of earthquakes on the watermains may not be the only cause of the watermain break incidents in the city. They say that he city's watermains consist of small-diameter watermains that accounts for 55% of the infrastructure. They noted that most of the watermain break incidents occurred in these small-diameter watermain structures. The conclusion reached was that since these watermains have thin wall pipes they are more prone to breakage due to corrosion. Other causes that may be considered are the size of the pipes, the type of joints used, the quality of the infrastructure, and water leakage. They also say that aside from the natural movement of the Earth's surface caused by earthquakes, disturbance in the soil sometimes caused by the city's rail transit system may also have caused some of the watermain break incidents.

Q: Magento 2 : Call custom block html in breadcumbs Is there any way to call custom module block in breadcrumbs. I want to call certain html in product detail page's breadcrumbs. I am adding following code to catalog_product_view.xml.

How to override phtml file of a custom module in magento 2
In your case, you are looking to do a little bit of both, you want to have a custom phtml into the breadcrumbs, but you want it to be from your own block class.

The spinal cord is surrounded and protected by vertebrae, or the bones of the spine. In between each vertebra is a cushion called an intervertebral disc. The intervertebral discs, which are soft and gel like on the inside and more tough and fibrous on the outside, act to cushion and absorb impact placed on the vertebra, and allow proper range of motion in the spine.
A herniated disc can put pressure of nerves, causing pain.
A herniated disc (often called a ruptured or slipped disc) can naturally occur as we age, but it can also be caused by damage or injury to the spine. When this occurs, the gel-like material inside the spinal disc protrudes or ruptures through the fibrous outer layer of the disc. Many people experience herniated discs and have no pain or symptoms. However, when the protruded material presses on a nerve, it can cause pain, numbness and weakness. Where these symptoms occur depends on where the herniated disc is located. Most herniated discs occur in the lumbar spine (lower back), followed by the cervical spine (neck), and rarely in the thoracic spine (chest). A herniated disc in the lumbar region can cause pain that travels down the back and through the legs, also known as radiculopathy (although commonly thought of as sciatica). A herniated disc in the cervical spine can cause pain in the neck that travels down the arms.
How can a herniated disc be treated?
In most cases, a herniated disc can be treated through conservative interventions. The first thing to keep in mind is to stay as active as is comfortable. Resting for too long can cause the pain to worsen. Applying heat or ice for periods of 15-20 minutes to the affected area can help ease your symptoms. In rare cases, prescription medications, such as narcotics or muscle relaxants can be used when other options are not effective.
Chiropractic care can be beneficial in the treatment of a herniated disc, and is specified for your individual needs. Chiropractic treatment for a herniated disc can include designing an exercise program that helps to build strength in the affected area, and to prevent future injuries. Spinal manipulation can be beneficial to a herniated disc, by allowing pressure to be relieved from the surrounding nerves, therefore reducing pain. If you believe you may be suffering from a herniated disc, please feel free to contact our office at 415-788-8700 to schedule a consultation and find a solution that is right for you.

Preventing No-Shows
Keeping New Hires Engaged
What Can Recruiters Do About Ghosting?
Companies say more candidates and new hires are ghosting them, disturbing hiring plans and rattling recruiters.
roy.maurer@shrm.org
By Roy Maurer January 9, 2019
Strio Consulting's chief people officer, Robin Schooling, still remembers the one that got away.
It happened in 2005, while she was working as a recruiter in the hospitality industry. She had hired a senior leader who was to start on a Monday morning.
"A 'cast of thousands' had participated in the selection process, from interviewing to making the offer, and the executives were eager to bring [the new hire] on board and get started," she recalled.
But Monday came and went without an appearance or word from the new hire, who was relocating from another state. "He didn't show up, and no one was able to reach him," Schooling said. A week passed before he let the company know that he had gotten about halfway through the 1,000-mile drive before changing his mind and turning back. "That was the last we heard of him."
The high-level no-show led to "a lot of finger-pointing" and reflection about the company's hiring process. "Certain hiring managers adjusted how they interacted with candidates because of that incident," Schooling said. "They realized that it's up to them to make sure that the candidate is getting enough information about the job and the company and not to take for granted that everybody who goes through the process wanted to work for us."
That's sage advice for employers dealing with an increasing number of candidates who drop out of the hiring process, fail to show for interviews and even accept offers but then disappear.
It's called "ghosting"--someone suddenly ending all communication without an explanation. Companies say more candidates and new hires are ghosting them, disturbing hiring plans and rattling recruiters.
Being ghosted is "very upsetting," especially when it's by someone you've come to trust, said Claire Petrie, talent acquisition manager in the Buffalo, N.Y., office of Remedy Intelligent Staffing.
While recruiting for a call center job at a previous employer, Petrie guided a candidate who had worked part-time for the company through the process for a full-time position.
"He applied, had great internal references and went through the whole process―the interview, background check―and accepted the offer," Petrie remembered.
But then for orientation he was a no-show. "I gave him a call, and he didn't answer," she said. "I tried again later that day, worried that he may have been in an accident or in some kind of emergency. I finally got through. When I asked what had happened, he told me that he got another job and forgot to let me know. I was so offended because I thought we had a really good relationship. It showed me that anyone—even someone considered a sure thing—could ghost."
Tanya Bourque, the founder of OpExpert, a boutique talent-acquisition consulting firm in Wyomissing, Pa., said that the rate of no-shows she has experienced increased in 2018, and attempts to follow up with candidates are becoming increasingly futile.
Last summer Bourque lined up 10 candidates for onsite interviews with a client looking for customer service representatives and account executives. "Only four people showed up," she said. "I was mortified at the turnout and worked quickly to try to make contact with the other candidates. Despite calls and e-mails, there was not one response. I was left baffled and embarrassed."
But ghosting represents a much bigger problem than hurt feelings or poor etiquette. No-shows are a real cost for organizations, said Brian Kropp, group vice president of the HR practice at research and advisory firm Gartner in Arlington, Va.
"Ghosting is disruptive across the board, from a business head expecting that they're ready to launch a project, to recruiting thinking that their work is done and are now at a restart, to HR thinking [they] had closed the position and [now] have to reopen it," said Sarah Smart, vice president of global recruitment at Hilton in McLean, Va.
Experts tend to conclude that the ghosting trend is being driven by a labor market with more job openings than unemployed workers. And 2.3 percent of employed workers are quitting their jobs―the largest share since 2001, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
"This phenomenon always coincides with shifting labor market supply and demand," said Will Staney, the founder of Proactive Talent, an Austin, Texas-based recruiting and consulting firm. "Candidate ghosting was last prevalent during the dot-com boom of the '90s and early 2000s."
"Candidates are often juggling multiple job offers and interview opportunities at once, and some don't want to put in the time and effort to follow up with the employer they are no longer interested in," said Janelle Bieler, vice president of sales at global staffing and recruiting firm Adecco.
Ghosting is typically seen in lower-wage, high-volume hourly roles such as retail and hospitality, but the trend has become more widespread in the last year due to the consistently tight labor market, particularly in technology and health care jobs, Bieler said.
Casinos and restaurants are seeing a ghosting rate as high as 50 percent, Staney added.
"It's a different market now than I've ever seen it," said Steve Browne, SHRM-SCP, vice president of HR at LaRosa's pizzeria and Italian restaurant chain in the Cincinnati area, and a director-at-large on the Society for Human Resource Management board of directors. "We have days where we set up five interviews, and four people don't show. We'll have four out of 10 people who've accepted offers show up for training."
Schooling, who until October 2018 was vice president of human resources at Hollywood Casino in Baton Rouge, La., said ghosting is now expected in entry-level service positions in the gaming industry. "Locally, similar industries like hospitality, retail and warehousing are experiencing this, too. It goes with the territory."
Browne suggested that there's a larger reason behind the increase in no-shows that should be a wake-up call for HR: There is a behavioral shift among job seekers and workers.
"The traditional thought process of 'I apply for a job, I interview for a job, I get hired and I start the job'—those days are over," he said. "Workers are thinking of themselves as free agents. Candidates owe us nothing. This whole idea of loyalty and professionalism is archaic."
He said status quo recruiting will ultimately fail, and employers need to be more pliable to accommodate a contingent-minded workforce. "Employers need to set themselves up as available and attractive, and if someone chooses not to show up for an interview or a start date, instead of getting upset, move on, get creative and come up with new solutions and strategic alternatives."
Some recruiters have begun stacking candidates and overbooking interviews, knowing up to half of the appointments for entry-level roles may not show up. "If you're in a high-volume hiring environment in the service industry or retail, you should switch to mass-hiring events where you schedule 30 to 60 people at a time to interview, to hedge your results," Staney said.
"If we know we have two openings, we'll set up eight to 10 interviews," Browne said. "In the past, we'd have set up four interviews for two openings, but since we know the dynamic has changed, we set up an alternative approach. If all 10 people show up, it's a bonus."
Schooling pushed her hiring managers at the casino to recruit continuously to mitigate the damage caused by ghosting. "Keep interviewing, keep talking to candidates, keep that pipeline going. Never stop recruiting," she said. "If that person ghosts or isn't successful for any other reason, you've got backups."
Petrie explained that ghosting occurs most frequently in the hiring stage, usually because selecting a candidate is taking too long. She advises her hiring managers to shorten the process, limit the number of interview rounds and provide interview feedback to candidates as soon as possible. "If you leave a candidate floating out there with no feedback after an interview, the chances of being ghosted go up."
Schooling stressed quick hiring for hourly roles. "We don't want to waste any time," she said. "We'll make an offer the day after an interview."
Candidates are often interviewed and hired the same day at LaRosa's. "When candidates go through your 14 layers of getting back to them, they're done," Browne said. "You took too much time. The candidate has other options."
Boiled down, ghosting is a failure to communicate. "It's HR's job to stay connected with candidates from the moment contact is initiated all the way to beyond their first day," Smart said.
At Hilton, that's accomplished through technology and by encouraging recruiters to build personal relationships with candidates. "They have so many different tools at their disposal that makes their connection with candidates frictionless," she said. "They are welcome to use social media, connect through our ATS [applicant tracking system] our CRM [candidate relationship management] platform and customize messages through an opt-in talent network."
Balancing recruiters' workloads is also important, she said. "If you have too many [requisitions], you can't possibly keep track of your candidates, much less have the freedom and the time to really develop personal relationships."
Not all organizations have the luxury of offering concierge-level service, but it's important for everyone involved in the hiring process to communicate authentically with candidates and new hires to prevent no-shows.
"Provide clear expectations on what the role is and isn't," Browne said. "Have candidates tour the workplace, let them see what the job is and who their colleagues will be, and make them feel at home. That way it's not an interview about the culture; it's a peek inside the culture. I want people to opt in, instead of me choosing them."
Schooling made sure candidates had all the information they needed about the role during the interview process when she was with Hollywood Casino. "Providing as much clarity around the schedule, the pay, a realistic job preview and nonnegotiable aspects of the job helps prevent ghosting," she said.
Another way to deter candidates and new hires from ghosting is making sure your compensation packages, benefits and workplace culture are competitive in the marketplace, and highlighting those differentiators upfront during the interview and onboarding process, Bieler said. "Today's job seekers are savvy and want to know the perks of choosing you as an employer."
Staney recommended that recruiters serve as career coaches to candidates and develop a transparent relationship with them. "Let them know that you will be honest with them, and in return, if they are seriously considering another opportunity, [that you hope they will] reciprocate," he said. The logic is that if recruiters are honest and consultative, candidates are less likely to ghost them.
"Candidates will feel more comfortable telling the recruiter what's really happening, instead of just disappearing," he said.
One of the most effective ways to curb new-hire ghosting is to begin integrating them into the company immediately after they accept the role.
"Our job is not done when we get the offer signed," Staney said. "Hiring managers should start folding them in, start introducing them to people to make them feel part of the team and start formal onboarding. If they are integrated and excited to begin, they may not listen to another recruiter coming at them."
Some see ghosting during the hiring process as an ethical violation, and many job seekers and employees reason away their own no-shows in response to being ghosted by employers.
Would a standard code of ethics for recruiters alleviate this vicious cycle?
Kropp said managers should use the time before a new hire's start date to develop a relationship with the new employee. "You can create special experiences for new hires where they come in and meet the team. If you have set start dates for groups of people, have them get together and invite them to lunch before they start."
Preboarding, the component of onboarding that takes place before the new employee's start date, is the reason Schooling rarely experienced a day-one no-show. Paperwork, uniform fitting and obtaining a gaming license weeded out the people who were not truly committed to working at Hollywood Casino.
Preboarding could last from one to three weeks. "During this time, someone from HR was in contact with all new hires every day," Schooling said. "It's very high-touch. I think that helped us, keeping them close before they started."

With all of the twee pop and slow-as-molasses indie music clogging the music industry, it's a breath of fresh air to hear a rock band unafraid to see if there's a little mileage left in a good guitar riff and straight-forward songwriting.
L.A. foursome The Quiet are just the kind of band whose traditional sound can slowly sneak up on you, and the band's newest album is a refreshing burst of melodic rock music for driving down the 101 with the windows down, the ocean air rushing past.
While it is billed as a piano-pop band in the vein of Ben Folds, The Quiet plays a brand of rock and roll that has a lot more power behind it and feels like it has a lot more longevity than the gimmickry and playful music Folds has offered over his career. Counting guitarist and UCLA alumnus Matt Ferrone as a member, The Quiet are built to last, and sophomore effort "Let It Fall" is a good of piece of evidence that Los Angeles' music scene can offer something more substantial than your typical indie-flavor-of-the-month buzz bands.
"Let it Fall" opens with one of the most satisfying grooves I've heard from a guitar on any album from 2010, announcing the band's intent to both rock but take things slow and trust their own intuition.
It takes a lot of confidence to include a lengthy marimba solo on a song like the playful romp of "Girl Like You" "" if that doesn't show these guys have guts, then I don't know what does.
And guts are important for an up-and-coming band like The Quiet. By challenging itself and its audience alike, the band emerges far more interesting.
"Let It Fall" is all the better for its risk-taking, but the most endearing quality the album has is its strong roots in tradition. The title-track "Let It Fall" follows the same slow-building formula of The Beatles' "Let It Be," beginning with a solo piano and ending with the gospel-induced ecstasy of the repeated refrain, "Just let it fall, let it all fall down on me." The song even ends with some appropriate "na-na-nas" to complete the tip-of-the-hat to Paul McCartney.
Album highlight "One More Chance" is only a "jump-back-Jack" away from being an homage to Bruce Springsteen's "Thundercrack," complete with E Street Band swagger and the anthemic sing-along quality of The Boss' best songs.
Aside from these highlights, the album isn't free of flaws. "Just The Same" is cluttered and meanders as a track. Certainly they could have found a better home for that incredible bass-line? It's completely wasted on a song that falls flat only moments into its inception.
I had my hopes up for something special with a song having a title as awesome as "The Beauty in Sadness," but alas, there were no revelations to be found.
As "Let It Fall" began with a fantastic guitar groove, the album's closing number, "At Your Side," features a searing guitar-solo that contrasts beautifully with the soulful backing vocals. The record comes to a close in just under 42 minutes "" a perfect length for any album. The Quiet say what they need to say, and they never overstay their welcome.


OCD affects about 1% of the general population. Amongst the perinatal population, some researchers have found that up to 11% of women meet criteria for OCD. Recent studies suggest that OCD is more common during the perinatal time period more than any other time in one's life.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder that is characterized by persistent, repetitive and intrusive unwanted thoughts, images, and ideas (obsessions) accompanied by behavioral and/or mental actions (compulsions) that work to reduce and/or neutralize acute anxiety that is caused by intrusive thoughts. People with OCD are often very distressed and sometimes even confused by their obsessions and recognize that their obsessions and compulsions may be irrational. However, insight does not reduce anxiety or reduce the urge to use their compulsion. We use compulsion like behaviors all time- we may know rationally that knocking on wood doesn't increase/decrease the likelihood of something happening but we do it anyway. For someone with OCD, they feel this way about their compulsion but much more intensely.
OCD symptoms that emerge in the perinatal period almost always involve thoughts about the baby. This may include anxiety provoking and intrusive obsessional thoughts about miscarriage, the baby's health, morbid images of the baby that are often quite detailed and graphic, and unwanted intrusive thoughts about harming the baby, (such as accidentally dropping the baby or suffocating the baby). Compulsions that accompany these thoughts also connect to the baby- they may involve frequent checking on the baby's breathing, attending many doctor's appointments and/or avoiding tasks that have to do with the baby, such as bathing, holding and feeding the baby.
Moms report that these thoughts are very distressing and contrast greatly with how they actually feel about their infant. Research shows that these thoughts are driven by anxiety and do not pose an actual threat to the baby. In fact, some researchers theorize that OCD may have an evolutionary basis that has worked to help parents remain hypervigilant and protective of their baby.
— Catherine Boutwell, Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many moms with OCD can feel very alone and ashamed of their intrusive thoughts. But truth is, most parents will experience morbid intrusive thoughts about their child from time to time- it's just that with OCD the thoughts are overwhelmingly persistent, convincing and interpreted as more meaningful than they actually are. For example, the intrusive image of the baby being smothered is interpreted as "I will smother the baby." A mom with OCD is more likely to avoid holding their baby or may go to great lengths to ensure safety over intentionally harming the baby. Instead, we need to support moms with OCD by educating them about their diagnosis, help them learn ways to cope and tolerate their symptoms through therapy and medication, and nurture the mom-to-baby bond.
