Chocolatito: This Could Be The Best Fight of The Trilogy!
By Random Hits
Published Fri Dec 02, 2022, 04:28 AM EST
Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez is ready to go to battle once again with his friendly foe Juan Francisco Estrada on Saturday night at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, live on DAZN – and the living legend expects their trilogy clash to be the best yet.
The rivalry currently stands level at one fight apiece, with Chocolatito (51-3 41 KOs) winning the first battle over a decade ago in November 2012, when he successfully defended his WBA Light-Flyweight title in Los Angeles.
The Nicaraguan would go on to become the pound-for-pound number one and a three-weight World king before the pair finally renewed their rivalry in Dallas, with Estrada levelling the score in an epic battle via split decision in March 2021.
Chocolatito bounced back with a commanding win over Julio Cesar Martinez in March in San Diego and after Estrada successfully defended his Ring Magazine Super-Flyweight belt in September, the doors were opened for the trilogy battle everyone wants to see, and Chocolatito got to work in the gym to prepare for what he expects to be the best of the three.
"We know it's going to be a great fight, a war for the fans," said Chocolatito. "But we have faith in God that we're going to come out victorious. We've worked well in our training camp, and you'll see this on Saturday.
"My physical condition has been very good, and I know it will be a beautiful fight for the fans. We've shown that the lighter weights have qualities that fans like to see. I get the feeling this third fight will be legendary too and many people will remember this great fight like the first and the second. The last two fights captured the hearts of the fans so, the third will be a tremendous fight, it could be the best one.
"The first was a fight that was decided on points at 108 pounds. It was an incredible fight, a close, tough fight. But with our skills and conditioning, we kept coming and came out with a good result on the day of the fight.
"The most important thing is we both came out of it in good health and thankfully we did our jobs well. We were satisfied with the work we did on that night over the 12 rounds. And we came out of it feeling great."
While the focus is on the here and now, talk of the future for both fighters will inevitably come up whatever happens. Chocolatito is the older of the two at 35, but he proved with his performance against Martinez that he still has the energy to dominate the rising crop of exciting little guys.
Chocolatito acknowledges that he's in the winter of his career but says it will be hard to let it go and will again, trust in his faith to guide him.
"It's difficult to stop doing something that you like, you know?" said Chocolatito. "God has blessed me so much in my life. I've been given pretty much everything, I know that we're coming to a stage where it might be time to hang them up, but we always ask God for time.
"The most important thing is to enjoy the moment. And right now, I'm enjoying myself because you'll never get these moments back so, I'm enjoying it, I'm loving it because I feel that God has given me such a great gift, you know?
"The fans have witnessed the great things that have gradually happened. Ultimately God decides those things in our lives. We're nothing without God. He is with me and if this fight is taking place, it's because this is what he wants right now, and it means lots of good and important things have been prepared.
"Once this fight's over, let's see what happens. What comes next. It's difficult for me to leave this world of boxing behind. But sooner or later I know that it will be time to rest, a time to find space in my life and to completely dedicate myself to other things and in the main that would be my family."

Q: Unable to move elements using cursor in IntelliJ's Scene Builder - any fix? Essentially my issue is the same as the one found at this link, however, this was multiple years ago and no solution was presented: How to relocate or resize items using mouse in Intellij Idea scene builder?
I am using a Windows machine, with fresh installs of IntelliJ, the JavaSDK, and JavaFX.
However, I am unable to move or resize elements using the cursor within the Scene Builder; doing so just results in the cursor turning into a cross, much like in the above question.
I was wondering if anyone had found any solutions since the original question was asked?
Thanks so much for any help.

Print vs. online: Can Survey Monkey help you decide?
At Toyota Motor Sales, communications manager Charley Roberts uses the polling primate to spur debate about where communications is headed.
Suppose you supervised a monthly print newsletter, every issue of which was read by almost three employees out of five? A publication in which almost all the articles were read by nearly half of those workers who picked it up?
Would you be tempted to tinker with this kind of success?
Charley Roberts, communications planning manager for Toyota Motor Sales USA and the man ultimately responsible for Toyota's glossy, four-color, 10-page tabloid Driver's Seat, turned to Survey Monkey for those answers.
Roberts and his team (Editor Susan Pack and writers Brin Wall, Sacha Terrill and Dan Miller) wanted the answers to some vital questions: Were they reaching the younger generations at Toyota? What did workers think about making Driver's Seat an online publication? Did employees desire to be spoken to through the social media?
Earlier this year, using Survey Monkey, Roberts and Pack put out a simple four-question survey on Toyota's intranet, Toyota Vision. Readers were asked to choose from among print, online and a combination of print and online for Driver's Seat. A fourth question was an open-ended inquiry about how readers might prefer to get news about Toyota in the future, through blogs, podcasts, e-mail, intranet publication, etc.

2015 Focus Québec: (Im)possibilités
So basically, things happen or they don't. Events might occur, but with totally opposite effects to what you may have expected. For example, what happens when you push a family relationship to extreme sacrifice like in Première Neige? Can you figure out how it feels to be a human deprived of emotion just like this guy in Dive? And what will happen between the two hypersensitive people in Turn off Before Living? Could you have dealt differently with this mysterious girl 30 years ago in The River's Lazy Flow? What are the consequences of the impossible behaviour made possible in The Pedophile? And what if you were the one who could make love happen like in Take Me? These stories could have been told differently. These shorts could not have been made at all. But hell, if you happen to be sitting here, waiting for this programme to start, you just might experience the (im)possibilities.

Why It will not stop internet piracy?
Let us take the movie industry for example. If people are ready to pay up to 175 millions in total for Megaupload's services in their premium account, which provides movies without any restrictions, they will be willing to pay potentially less for a lower quality system with DRMs (which is currently the only alternative offered by the Entertainment Industry for movies).
Each movie costs approximately $1.75 on Megaupload while the movie industry expect consumers to pay $5 for each in the legal market. The Movie Industry is entirely disconnected from the actual market value of the products they sell. Although some people are ready to pay this amount for DRMed movies and such, but these people are not the people who were using Megaupload.
The millions of daily users of Megaupload will not suddenly be ready to pay 3 times the previous price all of a sudden, so they will not magically migrate to legal offers, this is perfectly unrealistic. Thus, such draconian measures are only temporary victories, these small victories does not really affect the result of the real battle itself, which is that the general mindset of the society regarding Internet Piracy will remain the same.

I think you've nailed it. I am already spamming this out across my [chat groups] and singing praises. Very happy with the result.
I really like that you worked with my prompt and that there was such a quick turn around. The quality of the art was definitely worth the money, and I just can't get over how cute you made [the character].
Dude!!! That looks so awesome! Thanks so much for your time on this, I'm super happy with the result.

Paper guns, real politics: Second Amendment advocates march on the Capitol to support Trump and oppose new state laws
Demonstrators target expanded background checks, assault weapon definition
By Bert Johnson
Travis Dunn of Sacramento rallied with hundreds of other Second Amendment advocates on the steps of the state Capitol on Sunday, February 12.
Photo by Bert Johnson
A crowd of more than 200 gathered near the Tower Bridge and marched to the state Capitol in support of gun ownership on Sunday.
The February 12 march, organized by William Andrew Edson of Stockton, drew supporters from various Second Amendment advocacy groups and right-wing organizations such as the California Valley Patriots, Californians Opposing Gun Restrictions, the California Three Percenters and American Civil Defense.
Participants in the rally brought an array of conservative paraphernalia, from the Gadsden flag with its iconic coiled rattlesnake to "Make America Great Again" hats and shirts decorated with the silhouettes of rifles. Some wore olive combat gear, and one marcher cheekily carried a banana in his hip holster. None of the participants carried actual firearms, however, due to California's open carry ban—an absence that immediately set the rally apart from similar events in other states.
Individual marchers demanded less strict gun legislation and expressed a broad-ranging sense of unease with contemporary American culture. Some, like Joe Vsetula of Modesto, felt they had been passed over in favor of other groups: women, undocumented immigrants or the wealthy friends of elected officials.
"Why is it illegal aliens seem to have more rights than I do?" he asked.
Some demonstrators joked with each other about how liberal "snowflakes" should take notes on how to protest peacefully, a reference to recent anti-Trump rallies where agitators committed vandalism and isolated incidents of assault.
Katrina Fox, who is from Nebraska but now lives in Sacramento, said that she joined the march to "show we have a voice, too"—even though she doesn't own a gun herself.
James Mcgriff of Modesto, who is black, quoted Malcolm X when asked why he attended the march: "A man who will stand for nothing will fall for anything."
Edson himself doesn't claim membership in any particular group. Rather, he said he's just a shooting enthusiast who organized the rally on Facebook in an attempt to involve people in supporting the Second Amendment.
Sunday's march came on the heels of a raft of new gun laws in California, including Proposition 63, which requires criminal background checks for ammunition sales, and Senate Bill 880, which expanded the definition of an assault weapon. It did this, in part, by eliminating the "bullet button" loophole, which had allowed certain semiautomatic rifles to be easily equipped with high-capacity magazines. One of the bill's co-authors, Sen. Steve Glazer, was quoted in East County Today saying, "It's about a mechanism on assault-style rifles whose sole purpose is to allow someone to kill a lot of people quickly."
For Edson and his fellow marchers, however, the ban on assault weapons is a red herring. "None of that stuff makes your gun any more deadly," he contended.
Some protesters, including Edson, even carried black cardboard cutouts of assault rifles to represent a class of weapons that they believe has been unfairly singled out.
Politically, Edson, who says he didn't vote for Donald Trump, views the right to bear arms through a populist lens. "It's the average American's insurance policy," he explained. "You don't have to rely on the government to protect you."
But Bill Durston, president of the Sacramento chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility as well as Americans Against Gun Violence, says those arguments don't hold water. "There's no net protective value from owning or carrying a gun," he countered in a phone interview. "There's no legitimate civilian use for a rapid-fire semi-automatic with interchangeable magazines."
On Monday, Assemblyman Kevin McCarty introduced a bill that would close another gun loophole in California, which currently allows school districts to authorize civilians with concealed-carry weapon permits to bring their firearms on campus. Guns are prohibited in schools by state law, but the existing loophole has been exploited by some districts, including Folsom Cordova Unified, and threatens student safety, according to McCarty.
Marco Gutierrez, the Mexican-born Trump supporter who gained notoriety for his comments about "taco trucks on every corner," was also in attendance. He explained that, although he recently purchased a gun after receiving anonymous threats related to his incendiary statements, he came to the rally mainly to show his support for the organizers.
"To take that away is to change the history of the United States," he said of the Second Amendment. "It's like taking tacos away from us."

A special welcome to our new teachers, Denise Sharp, Shanelle Kivell and Kimberlee Fields. As a Board we are excited to have you on board and I am sure parents will join me in offering you a warm welcome. Warwick, Rose and the team of teachers have been busy over the break preparing for the year and are excited to be back.
With Board of Trustees elections this year on 7 June our current Board members will be canvasing parents to promote interest in standing for this important governance role. With three or four Board members standing down we look forward to receiving nominations before 24 May from interested parents. The wider the skills base of parents the better.
With an operations grant of only $264,000 to cover all the school costs (apart from teacher salaries) and based on our end of year survey the Board moved to increase our school donation to $50 per term per child (which equates to $1 per day), with an activity fee of $50 for the year. This extra income will help cover teacher aide costs so that we are not having to rely on our PTA (and you) so heavily. This means the PTA can focus more on school or curriculum related projects. A reminder to parents that school donations are tax deductible.
We are eagerly awaiting concept plans for our Junior Block and hope the Ministry of Education can get the project up and running this year.
Wishing you all well for the year ahead.

Q: Copy/paste values every day under previous pasted cell? Here's my problem : i'm trying to copy a value from one cell in "sheet1" to another cell in "sheet2".
But I want to run this script everyday (using trigger) because the value change every day. So the paste has to be in B2 the first day, B3 the second day, etc. I want to be able to follow the value day by day and have an historic.
Here's my current script :
function backup(){

  var sourceSheet  = "Portfolio" ;
    var sourceRange = "N15" ;
  var targetSheet = "Suivi perfs journalières" ;
    var targetRange = "B2:B999" ;

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sourceSheet);
  var values = sheet.getRange(sourceRange).getValues();
  ss.getSheetByName(targetSheet).getRange(targetRange).setValues(values);

I have 2 problem :

*

*My script send me this error : Exception: The number of rows of data does not match the number of rows in the range. There are 1 lines of data, but the range has 998. (line 12, "CopyPastePortfolioValue" file)

*I don't know how to paste the value in a new cell everyday (paste in the cell under the previous each day)

Thanks for your help!

A: I believe your goal as follows.

*

*You want to retrieve the value from the cell N15 in the source sheet and append the value to the target sheet.

Modification points:

*

*When setValues(values) is used, the lengths of rows and columns of values are required to match to the range. In your script, values of var values = sheet.getRange(sourceRange).getValues(); is 1 row and 1 column. But the target range is B2:B999. By this, such error occurs. I think that this is the answer for your 1st question.

*In order to append the value to the target sheet, in your case, I would like to propose to use appendRow. I think that this is the answer for your 2nd question.

*And, when a value from a cell, you can also use getValue instead of getValues.

When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
function backup(){
  var sourceSheet  = "Portfolio";
  var sourceRange = "N15";
  var targetSheet = "Suivi perfs journalières";
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sourceSheet);
  var value = sheet.getRange(sourceRange).getValue();  // Modified
  ss.getSheetByName(targetSheet).appendRow([value]);  // Modified
}

Le stade Mosaic, ou Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field en anglais, était un stade de football canadien situé dans la ville de Regina, capitale provinciale de la Saskatchewan, au Canada. Il était le domicile des Roughriders de la Saskatchewan de 1936 à 2016, même si l'équipe jouait déjà sur ce site depuis 1921. Il était également le domicile des Rams de l'Université de Régina, équipe du SIC, ainsi que celui du Thunder de Regina, équipe de la Ligue canadienne de football junior. Il a porté le nom de Taylor Field de 1947 à 2006.

Le stade appartenait à la ville de Regina. Il avait une capacité de  dans sa plus récente configuration.

Il a accueilli trois fois le match de la coupe Grey : en , en  et en 2013.

Histoire
Un terrain de rugby est installé dès 1910 par la ville de Regina sur un terrain appelé Park Hughes, situé juste au nord des voies ferrées qui traversent Regina. À la demande d'une ligue de soccer, la Regina Amateur Football League, le terrain est aménagé pour le soccer en 1921, pourvu de gradins et entouré d'une clôture de  (). Il est également mis à la disposition du Regina Rugby Club, ancêtre des Roughriders de la Saskatchewan, qui y joue son premier match le . En 1918, un terrain de baseball est aménagé sur le terrain adjacent à l'est, appelé Park de Young. Puis en 1928 les deux parcs sont combinés et un nouveau terrain de rugby (comme le football canadien était encore souvent appelé à l'époque) est installé, chevauchant les deux parcs et dans une configuration qui permettait d'y jouer aussi au baseball. Le nouveau terrain est aussi appelé Park de Young ; cependant les Roughriders (nouveau nom du Regina Rugby Club depuis 1924) n'y jouent pas encore leurs matchs, préférant le terrain du parc des expositions qui peut accueillir plus de spectateurs.

Ce n'est qu'en 1936 que les Roughriders s'installent définitivement au Park de Young. Une galerie de la presse permettant la radiodiffusion des matchs est installée et la capacité est de près de . Des projecteurs permettent de jouer un premier match en soirée en 1937. Cependant la surface de jeu est encore en terre battue et en cas de pluie le terrain pouvait devenir impraticable, forçant les Roughriders à jouer ailleurs. Finalement, après l'interruption des opérations à cause de la guerre, la situation est si sérieuse qu'en 1947 on ensemence du gazon pour obtenir un terrain de qualité acceptable. La même année, le terrain est renommé Taylor Field en l'honneur de , joueur, entraîneur puis président du club auquel il est associé de 1914 à 1937, qui est mort en mai.

D'autres améliorations s'ensuivent. Des estrades en béton sont construites sur le côté ouest en 1948, augmentant la capacité à , suivi d'autres agrandissements en 1950, 1951, 1953 et 1954 qui font monter le nombre de spectateurs possibles à . Cette dernière année, un système de projecteurs plus performant permet d'offrir plus de matchs en soirée. En 1958, l'équipe presse la municipalité d'installer des tribunes permanentes du côté est, ce qui aurait mis fin à la possibilité de jouer du baseball au stade. Les autorités choisissent plutôt d'ajouter  aux estrades existantes, démontables pour accommoder le baseball, portant la capacité totale à . Ce n'est qu'en 1965 que la décision est prise d'installer des tribunes en béton du côté est, forçant le baseball à se relocaliser au parc Mount Pleasant. La capacité du stade est ainsi portée à , et à cette époque les spectateurs sont encore admis sur les lignes de côté, ce qui permet une assistance record de  lors du match d'ouverture de 1966, record porté à  en octobre suivant.

En 1972,  sont ajoutés aux tribunes est, et de l'éclairage supplémentaire permet maintenant de télédiffuser les matchs en couleur. Puis en décembre 1977 un référendum chaudement disputé autorise la ville à ajouter un deuxième niveau d'estrades du côté ouest, en plus d'aménager des espaces pour des bureaux et pour les chambres des joueurs. Cette extension, qui ajoute , nécessite la démolition de 12 maisons sur la rue adjacente au stade. À cause d'une grève de la construction, ce n'est qu'en juin 1979 que l'agrandissement peut être inauguré, en même temps que la surface de jeu est refaite en pelouse artificielle et qu'un nouveau tableau indicateur est installé ; la capacité est maintenant de .

En 1993, le Taylor Field est choisi pour accueillir le match de la coupe Grey de 1995. Pour cela, de nombreux aménagements sont nécessaires, en particulier l'ajout d'estrades temporaires qui portent la capacité à au-delà de . De fait, l'assistance officielle est établie à  le 19 novembre 1995.

En juin 2006, un accord de dénomination publicitaire est annoncé par les Roughriders avec la société américaine The Mosaic Company, qui possède plusieurs mines de potasse en Saskatchewan. Cet accord d'une durée de 10 ans et d'une valeur de  spécifie que le stade s'appellera Mosaic Stadium mais que la surface de jeu sera toujours appelée Taylor Field.

Fermeture et démolition
En 2007 on commence à parler de la construction d'un nouveau stade à Regina, plutôt que de nouvelles rénovations au vieux Taylor Field, ce qui a été décrit comme étant de . Le , le premier ministre de la Saskatchewan Brad Wall et le maire de Regina Pat Fiacco annoncent une entente concernant la construction d'un nouveau stade pour accueillir les Roughriders de la Saskatchewan, en remplacement de l'ancien stade Mosaic. Le stade Mosaic ferme ses portes à la fin de la saison 2016, et les travaux de démolition sont effectués de septembre à la fin d'.

It is an argument that inspires passion in every rink, sports bar and living room where hockey is being played or is on the television. It can incite elevated heart rates in person and long discussion threads on the Internet.
NHL.com and NHL Network gathered 10 writers and television personalities and asked that very question. Each was asked to rank their top eight in eight categories -- centers, left wings, right wings, defensemen, goalies, coaches, general managers and guys who wore the No. 8 sweater.
The voting, which took place for all eight segments in mid-February, is complete and the points have been tallied. Here is our answer to the simple question, who are the best in the NHL?
Center is the first position this series examines. In terms of star power, it is the deepest position in the League. Like with goaltenders, some teams are constantly scrambling to find their franchise center, while a couple of teams are blessed to have two.
Narrowing the list of top centers down to eight is not an easy task. There are All-Stars, even Hall of Fame candidates, who did not make our list.
What makes an elite center? Obviously they have to be the facilitator of great offense, but other factors -- two-way play, faceoffs and leadership -- come into play as well. If goalies are often compared to quarterbacks -- if a team doesn't have a great one, it can't win -- then No. 1 centers are like shortstops. They are almost always the best all-around hockey player on the club.
Excellence in the postseason appears to have also been a big factor in the final rankings. Six of our top eight are Stanley Cup champions, and three have won Conn Smythe trophies.
Here are the voting results. NOTE: A player received eight points for a first-place vote, seven for a second and so forth to one point for an eighth-place ranking (number of first-place votes in parenthesis).
Crosby has been a phenomenon in the sport since before he was old enough to drive. His arrival in the National Hockey League was heralded the way Eric Lindros, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky were before him. "The Next One" and later "Sid the Kid" hasn't disappointed.
He became the youngest scoring champion in League history and MVP in 2006-07. Two years later he was the youngest captain to win the Stanley Cup. A year later he scored the gold-medal winning goal for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The past two seasons were derailed by a long struggle to return from concussion symptoms after hits in back-to-back games in January 2011. He excelled when healthy enough to play last season, and is rolling again in 2012-13.
"When healthy, as we are seeing now, I think he is by far and away the most complete player in the game, let alone center," NHL.com senior writer Dan Rosen said. "He is a threat to score or create a goal every time he is on the ice. He's never a defensive liability. He can play in every area in the offensive zone. He's fearless in front of the net. His stick skills are off the charts. He wins faceoffs, which creates puck possession, and then he makes plays to keep the Penguins on the attack. His vision is outstanding. And, he makes every player he plays with better. There is not another player in the game that combines all of that into their game. Crosby does."
Among the superstars who have entered the League in the past eight seasons, Malkin has collected the most diverse set of hardware. He was the Calder Trophy winner in 2007, the Conn Smythe Trophy winner in 2009 and in 2012 he was the Hart Trophy winner and tournament MVP at the world championships -- amazing feats after missing the end of the 2010-11 campaign because of torn knee ligaments.
"Geno" was the first player to score a goal in his first six NHL games since the first season of the League in 1917-18, and Malkin is a two-time scoring champion. If Malkin vs. Crosby doesn't start a good argument among hockey fans, put someone from Beaver Falls, Pa., and Falls Church, Va., in a room and let them debate the top two picks in the 2004 NHL Draft, Alex Ovechkin and Malkin.
"It is a fine line that separates the top-two centers: Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby," NHL.com Managing Editor Shawn Roarke said. "And, it is fair to say that line moves on a regular, if not nightly, basis. In the end, it basically comes down to what you value in a player. For me, the attraction has always been to power-type players over skill-type players. In no way is this to suggest that Crosby doesn't have a power element to its game; he does and it is underrated. But, Malkin is the prototypical power center when his game is in top gear. At his peak, he is a mixture of transcendent skill and brute power that is a nearly unstoppable."
Stamkos is the best pure goal scorer in this group. He is a two-time Rocket Richard trophy winner, and last season became only the second player in the past 17 years to hit the 60-goal plateau.
The first pick in the 2008 NHL Draft, Stamkos had a slow start to his rookie season but he's been an elite sniper since and is developing into a complete player. He has 170 goals since the start of his second season -- 42 more than the closest competitor.
Stamkos is the only player on this list to not have played in a Stanley Cup Final, but he did help the Tampa Bay Lightning to within a win of the Final in 2011.
If Crosby has drawn comparisons to Gretzky, and Malkin to Lemieux, then the closest player the NHL has to a modern-day Mark Messier is Toews. The No. 3 pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, he and Patrick Kane helped return hockey to prominence in Chicago.
The year Toews had in 2009-10 alone was incredible. He was one of the top players for Canada en route to a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics, captained the Blackhawks to a championship for the first time in 49 years and collected the Conn Smythe trophy.
"Toews got the nod over Stamkos from me because of his 200-foot game," Rosen said. "This isn't to say that Stamkos doesn't play a 200-foot game, but Toews plays a better 200-foot game. If Toews and Stamkos were on the same team and the same line, there is no question in my mind that Toews would be the center and Stamkos would play on the wing. Toews is fast, elusive, tough and he plays with a great hockey IQ in that he reads plays in both ends of the ice. Stamkos is a pure scorer and undoubtedly one of the best players in the game, but Toews is a better overall center when it comes to handling the responsibilities of the position."
One of the reasons Toews doesn't have a Selke Trophy is because this guy has three of them. While players like Crosby, Malkin and Stamkos are always in the discussion of "best player in the NHL," it is likely someone in the past few years would eventually say, "Don't forget about Datsyuk."
He is one of the most skilled players in the sport. When other players make highlight-reel moves, they are compared to him -- a Dastyukian deke is one of the highest forms of flattery bestowed on a hockey play. At the height of his powers, Datsyuk had at least 87 points in four straight seasons and has still been a point-per-game guy the past two seasons but has missed time with injuries.
"Placing Datsyuk that high was among the easier decisions for me," Roarke said. "I believe he is truly among the best centers in the League today. His points total may not rival what he accomplished at his peak, but he can still beat an opponent either through the creation of a goal or, just as likely, scoring it himself. His skill on the puck -- especially in tight places -- is almost unrivaled. And, most importantly, he is an elite two-way player, who may be just as valuable in his own end as he is in the attacking zone. I personally value two-way play perhaps more than any other trait."
If Crosby isn't considered the best setup guy in the League, it is because the pass-first half of the Sedin twins probably is. Henrik has led the League in assists in each of the past three seasons, and won an Art Ross Trophy in 2009-10.
The Sedins dealt with criticism early in their careers that they weren't going to reach superstar levels, and the Canucks couldn't be a Stanley Cup contender with them leading the way. Both of those arguments are long gone, and Vancouver did come within one win of a Cup in 2011.
"It took him a good 4-5 years to develop, but his numbers since 2005-06 are impossible to ignore," NHL.com writer Dave Lozo said. "He's averaged more than a point per game and his vision and passing ability are by far the best in the NHL. He hasn't seen a dip in production in the postseason, either, and I imagine his perception among fans would be different if the Canucks would've won a fourth game against Boston. The fact he's played in 600 straight games speaks to his intelligence and durability."
The first Slovenian to play in the NHL, Kopitar reached new heights in 2011-12. Always considered one of those guys in the next group of top centers below the truly elite ones, Kopitar won over any remaining critics during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
He was the best skater in the League during the course of two months as the Los Angeles Kings claimed the Cup for the first time, and Kopitar might have collected a Conn Smythe Trophy had Jonathan Quick not put forth one of the best goaltending runs in the history of the NHL.
Detroit is the second team on our list with two franchise centers, and it shouldn't be surprising that the Red Wings and Penguins are the only teams with multiple appearances in the Final in the past eight seasons. Datsyuk and Zetterberg are the only two guys on our list who weren't among the first 11 players selected in their draft classes.
Zetterberg was selected No. 210 in the 1999 NHL Draft -- in the current draft format he would have been the last guy chosen. Detroit won the Cup in 1998 and followed it up by selecting the eventual Conn Smythe Trophy winner a decade later.
"Zetterberg is very much like Toews, only he is a bit older and has a lot more wear on his tires," Rosen said. "I gave him the nod over guys like John Tavares and Eric Staal because his two-way game is more refined than those guys and he's just as lethal in the offensive zone. He's the Red Wings so-called will guy, meaning he wills them to wins on nights when maybe they have no business being in the game. And, he's been doing it for a long time at a consistently high level."
Others receiving votes: John Tavares (11 points), Joe Thornton (10), Claude Giroux (9), Eric Staal (6), Patrice Bergeron (1).
If the voting was done in May instead of March, Tavares might have squeezed into the top eight. Tavares has been really good for the New York Islanders, but he's been a superstar in the early stages of the 2012-13 season.
"John Tavares has never experienced the postseason and he hasn't been close in his three seasons," Lozo said. "But he's quietly improved every facet of his game and is on his way to becoming a top-five forward, not just a center, in the NHL. He has one of the best shots in the game, he can be a playmaker, he's strong enough to win puck battles along the wall, and he's doing it all with a very weak supporting cast. There are 100-point seasons in Tavares' future; it's just a matter of if they happen on Long Island or in Brooklyn."
Giroux's coach Peter Laviolette famously called him the best player on the planet at the end of the first round of the playoffs last season, but only three voters see him as a top-eight center. Staal had plenty of support as a top-eight guy, but no one championed him higher than seventh.
It says something about the strength of this list that Bergeron, one of the top two-way guys in the League and the 2011 version of Kopitar, received only one vote. Guys like Ryan Getzlaf, Nicklas Backstrom and Mikko Koivu didn't receive any.
Thornton ended up with one of the most unique voting profiles on any of the eight top-eight lists. While Staal was named by five people, Thornton was ranked in the top eight by only two -- Lozo and NHL Network analyst Barry Melrose.
"You are probably a bitter Bostonian if you don't consider Thornton an elite center," Lozo said. "He's closing in on 1,100 points in 1,100 games, is still just 33, and if you want some insight on how he makes his linemates better, ask Jonathan Cheechoo or Devin Setoguchi about it. He had two poor postseasons in Boston -- one when he was 18 and one when he played with a broken rib in 2004. An unfair narrative about Thornton not being a 'winner' shouldn't distract you from the fact he's been a game-changer for a decade."

With Thanksgiving over and black Friday in the books the Christmas decorations begin to make their way out of storage and into our homes and yards. My wife has already caught the bug and all of our decorations are strewn across the house as we make room on counters, shelves, tables, and walls. During the unpacking process my wife and I had a good discussion on what is and isn't okay for decorating when selling a home.
Less is more- Don't go Griswold or you'll scare buyer's away before they get in the door.
Highlight your home's features- The decorations aren't to hide or cover your home but to show it's highlights. Think a beautiful wreath above your wood burning fireplace's mantle.
Keep it� classic- Trendy decorations are only good for a year so stick with traditional ones.� Go with items that create a feeling of warmth and comfort.
Tone down the Christmas tree- Try to use a smaller (skinnier) tree and keep presents in a closet or packed tightly under the tree. A large tree with presents strewn about the floor lead buyer's to believe that great room isn't all that great.
Clean Up- Those boxes you stored the decorations in don't belong in the guest room. Your home needs to be in top showing condition, even during the holidays, so put them back into storage.

Home / Essay Samples / Government / Elections / Voting / Voting With The Electoral College
Voting with the Electoral College
Democracy. It's a term often used in the United States when discussing politics, but do we really know what it means for the average citizen? When the Electoral College comes into play, chosen electors get to vote for the United States' destiny. The Electoral College consists of hand-selected representatives that represent states individually, but citizens' voices are not being heard. Excitement fills the hearts of those who have the chance to even become a candidate in the election, but those feelings could be gone in a matter of seconds. Think about it— a president who is very well-qualified could have won the votes of the people by a large majority, yet still lose the election altogether. Should the Electoral College be abolished? It does not accurately represent voters, although some could argue that it saves time and that it does in fact display the voice of the people. The Electoral College should no longer be used in determining the winner of the presidential election because of the bluntly outdated and irrelevant justifications for doing so.
In today's society, the Electoral College does not match up with the reasons it was placed in the Constitution. Back when it was originally in the notion, writers of the Constitution became skeptical that information would not be able to travel throughout the country— mainly due to the travel conditions in the eighteenth century (Webster). This is simply not true for today's common person because data can be gathered with the touch of a single button. Voters are more than likely well informed about each candidate before casting their ballot. In previous times, legislation chose who could be a part of the Electoral College, inherently making it fairer compared to the way political parties choose nowadays (Ray) (Gronke). Political parties then have the option to pronounce electors that they believe will vote in favor of their own political gain, although not being the fittest for the job. If the constitution is one of the key factors in keeping the Electoral College running today, it should be followed the way it was meant to be done exactly. Contradictory to itself, the constitution also begins with the words "We the people" that suggest the systems in the United States government are in place specifically for its citizens ("Constitution of the United States"). Since the government is meant for the well-being of the people, they should have a more proper say in choosing the person that will run their country. It is undoubtedly misleading to follow the constitution in some manner without thinking about why it was done that way so long ago. In addition to the Constitutional mess created by the Electoral College, the coordinated system which it follows is illogical.
In theory, the chosen electors are responsible, trustworthy, and capable of making a conclusion that will affect their country. Even though they are in place to represent the people, there is no law requiring the votes by the Electoral College to match up with the votes of the people ("About The Electors"). If the Electoral College is allowed to vote for whomever they want, do our votes really matter? The answer is no. It is not uncommon for the members of the Electoral College to completely disregard the voice of the people. In fact, there have been four major incidents where the winner of the popular vote did not win, only due to the Electoral College. In 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes won, although losing the popular vote, as well as Benjamin Harrison in 1858, George W.Bush in 2000, and Donald Trump in 2016 (Gronke). This is a failure rate of 7 percent ("[UPDATED VERSION!] The Trouble With The Electoral College") The United States should not be using a system in their government that does not work efficiently for such an imperative event in their country. As of today, no member of the Electoral College has faced any consequences for not voting as pledged ("About the Electors"). When the people feel as though they aren't being heard, naturally they would stop voicing their opinion. Being 31st out of 35 countries, this becomes clear based on the voter turnouts in the United States("About the Electors"). Furthermore, the composition and management of the Electoral College overall are inadequate for its purpose.
Even if every elector votes based on the votes of the people, the organization method of the system leaves room for the mishap. The main organizational flaw in the Electoral College is the ratio between people residing in a state to electoral representatives. An example of the unfair ratio includes Ohio only getting 18 electors when— based on the 11,500,000 people—it should have 20 ("The Trouble With The Electoral College") Votes are weighed in an unbalanced manner because of this odd distribution of votes. Although it is slightly unlikely, the 'winner takes all system could lead to a candidate winning the election altogether while only having won the popular vote by 22 percent ("The Trouble With The Electoral College"). This is because the 'winner takes all' structure only requires the contesters to get half the votes from one state to get the votes of all its electors. In hindsight, this means that only half of the electors' votes count, almost none of the peoples' votes count, and the people benefiting from this system are the candidates. Unlike the way candidates benefit from this, it has the opposite effect on voters. As shown by interview research, voter turnouts seem to have been declining because voting laws keep people from registering themselves to be eligible to vote (Regan). This emphasizes the idea that people do not feel as though their vote matters, so they simply stop voting. Nevertheless, some still feel that the Electoral College should be kept in place.
A popular opinion of those who believe in the Electoral College as being beneficial is that without it, candidates could focus their attention on larger populated states. This is understandable as we already know not every state gets the time needed by candidates, however, the method by which the Electoral College runs already allows for this. Due to the unfair ratio of citizens to voters, larger states are missing votes which makes it easier for candidates to wisely choose which states to focus on winning. Similarly, many have the conception that the same could happen with large cities. Although this could lead to issues, it is mathematically impossible. It is highly unlikely that someone who is running for president would want to focus on cities. Many would think that because cities like New York—the largest city in the US—have roughly 8 million residents, that candidates would want to spend their time trying to win their votes. However, if they were to do this, they would be unsuccessful because the top ten cities only make up 7.9 percent of the U.S population. Following this idea, many also think that the Electoral College is an effective barrier to protect its citizens. ("The Trouble With The Electoral College")
Supporters of the Electoral College also fear that without it, smaller states' needs would be completely disregarded. While this is a good point, it doesn't consider the way candidates focus on certain states. As we know, only a few states can be prioritized by candidates in elections, and typically those candidates would not focus on smaller states anyways. Not only are smaller states' needs concern for those who agree with the current system of voting, but their protection from larger states is also a key reason why people feel the Electoral College should stay. Many would argue that the Electoral College is meant to preserve the rights of smaller states. The Electoral College fails to do this all together, and without accomplishing that goal, it is useless. By attempting to protect smaller states, the Electoral College instead sways the value of each states' votes. Thus, it should be abolished. ("The Trouble With The Electoral College")
The United States should refrain from continuing to use the Electoral College as it is unfair, and the reasons behind continuing to use it are old and illogical. It is unjust for it to be possible that a candidate in the presidential election could win without having the votes of the citizens who will be affected by them. Before applauding the use of the Electoral College, people should think about what it means for them—and the future of their country.

Die Albertkupplung ist eine insbesondere bei Straßenbahnwagen verwendete starre Mittelpufferkupplung. Sie überträgt Zug- sowie Druckkräfte. Das Kuppeln und Entkuppeln erfolgt manuell. Sie ist benannt nach ihrem Erfinder Karl Albert, einem früheren Direktor der Krefelder Straßenbahn.

Aufbau

Die Albertkupplung besteht aus einem metallischen Kuppelkopf. Der Kuppelkopf besitzt auf der rechten Seite einen Zapfen sowie auf der linken Seite eine Nut. Zapfen und Nut sind so geformt, dass im gekuppelten Zustand der Zapfen des einen Fahrzeugs in die Nut des anderen passt. Die Übertragung der Zug- und Druckkräfte erfolgt durch Metallstifte, die von oben durch passende Bohrungen im Zapfen und in der Nut gesteckt werden.

Der Kuppelvorgang erfolgt in mehreren Schritten. Zunächst werden die zu kuppelnden Wagen so aneinander gefahren, dass ihr Abstand geringer als in gekuppeltem Zustand ist und einer der Stifte eingesteckt. Die beiden Kupplungen bilden in diesem Zustand nicht zwangsläufig eine Linie. Anschließend wird die Kupplung gestreckt, indem der Abstand zwischen beiden Fahrzeugen vergrößert wird, bis die beiden Kupplungen in einer Linie liegen. Anschließend wird der zweite Stift eingesteckt. Im Gegensatz zu Trompetenkupplungen erfolgt der Kuppelvorgang im Stand. Die Unfallgefahr ist deutlich geringer, da der Rangierer nicht zwischen sich bewegende Fahrzeuge treten und auch keine Kupplungsteile mit der Hand führen muss. Erforderliche Leitungsverbindungen sind anschließend ebenfalls manuell herzustellen.

Verbreitung

Aufgrund ihrer Vorteile gegenüber den traditionell bei Straßenbahnen verwendeten Trompetenkupplungen fand die Albertkupplung in der Zwischenkriegszeit Verwendung bei zahlreichen Straßenbahnbetrieben in Deutschland. Sie konnte allerdings nie die Trompetenkupplungen vollständig verdrängen, da viele Straßenbahnbetriebe die Kosten für die Umrüstung scheuten.

Inzwischen gilt die Albertkupplung als technisch überholt, da mit der Scharfenbergkupplung und der BSI-Kompaktkupplung modernere Kupplungsbauarten verfügbar sind, die automatisches Kuppeln und Entkuppeln erlauben und neben der mechanischen Verbindung der Fahrzeuge auch elektrische Verbindungen und Druckluftleitungen kuppeln können. Daher findet man Albertkupplungen heute – bis auf wenige Ausnahmen – nur noch an historischen Fahrzeugen, Dienstfahrzeugen oder als Notkupplung an Wagen, die nicht für Mehrfachtraktion oder die Mitnahme von Beiwagen ausgelegt sind. Bei Wagen, die in der Regel längere Zeit gekuppelt verkehren und nur selten getrennt werden, verwenden einige Betriebe Albertkupplungen weiterhin. Als Notkupplung für Abschleppmanöver bei technischen Störungen oder Unfällen wird sie auch bei neueren Wagen wie etwa den Transtech Artic oder Bombardier Flexity 2 verwendet. Der Vorteil gegenüber selbsttätig kuppelnden Mittelpufferkupplungen ist die deutlich kleinere und leichtere Ausführung, die sich einfacher in den Wagen unterbringen lässt. Es gibt auch Kupplungsschäfte mit einem zusätzlichen Gelenk, die sich einklappen und mit Schürzen abdecken lassen. Für das Verbinden mit selbstständig kuppelnden Mittelpuffer- sowie Trompetenkupplungen gibt es vergleichsweise einfache Übergangskupplungen.
