-This study is not kind to Michael Carter-Williams who ranks as the least efficient scorer in this group at 0.746 points per-possession. His 22.1% overall turnover rate is the second worst among his peers, as is his 0.683 PPP in the half court. Those two stats are representative of the two key areas his scouting report notes he need to make strides in to reach his potential as a pro: his decision-making and perimeter shooting.
Turning the ball over on 28% of his pick and roll possessions, the highest among his peers, ball security was an area of concern for Carter-Williams in the half court last season. Sporting a 3.6 assist to turnover ratio in transition, he's more efficient as a playmaker in the open floor at this point in his career.
Carter-Williams' well documented issues as a shooter cost him here as well, as his 26.2% shooting on pull-up jumpers and 28% shooting off the catch are a major limiting factor on his scoring ability in the half court, resulting in his ranks as the second worst spot-up and 5th worst pick and roll shooter in this group.
Often lauded for his ability to score at the rim, a bit of fishing shows that Carter-Williams shoots a slightly below average 48.8% as a finisher in the half court, though he compensates by shooting nearly 60% at the basket as the ball-handler in transition.
While Carter-Williams doesn't look great here, this doesn't reveal anything teams don't already know about him. Whoever drafts him will be excited about his size, solid one-on-one ability, athleticism in the open floor, and the player he has the opportunity to become as he begins to work on his two very much improvable weaknesses.
Playing just 10 minutes per game as a freshman behind top-five NBA draft pick Dion Waiters and All-Big East point guard Scoop Jardine, Michael Carter-Williams was handed the reins to Syracuse's offense as a sophomore and led the Orange to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. He finished in the top five in the NCAA and #1 amongst draft prospects in assists and steals, establishing himself as one of the more unique players in college basketball and also one of the most controversial amongst NBA scouts.
Carter-Williams stands out first and foremost with the tremendous size he brings to the point guard position, standing a legit 6-5 in shoes. He does not have a great wingspan (measured also at 6-5 at the LeBron James Academy in 2011), but is an extremely fluid and agile guard who handles the ball elegantly, is dynamic in transition, and can create his own shot effectively in the half-court.
Not a prolific scorer, Carter-Williams averages just 13.5 points per-40 minutes, which rates 62nd among the 75 college players in our top-100 prospect rankings. Shooting just 44% from 2-point range and 29% for 3, he's also not particularly efficient, as his 49% True Shooting Percentage ranks 73rd out of the 75 college prospects who likely have a realistic chance of being drafted this June.
What Carter-Williams lacks in his ability to put points put on the board, he makes up for with his passing skills and creativity with the ball in his hands. An extremely smooth guard with strong ball-handling skills, a solid first step, the ability to change speeds, and an array of hesitation moves, Carter-Williams can create his own shot driving left or right and gets into the lane with incredibly long strides that most college defenders simply couldn't stay in front of.
He's a very unselfish player, highly creative and blessed with terrific court vision, able to make both simple and flashy passes, and seeing the floor extremely well thanks to his terrific size and the unique angles he has at his disposal because of it. With his ability to see over the top of the defense, he makes beautiful skip passes to both sides of the floor and is extremely effective at finding open shooters spotting up on the wing, or big men flashing into the paint for lobs. Generally speaking, he does an excellent job of putting his teammates in position to score, which is exactly what a classic pass-first point guard is supposed to do.
Where Carter-Williams can get into trouble at times is when defenses force him to score on his own. He struggles to finish the shots he creates for himself inside the lane, making just 49% of his half-court attempts directly at the basket according to Synergy Sports Technology, and not drawing a great deal of fouls either. He doesn't appear to have great touch around the basket and has a tendency to shoot too many difficult floaters inside the lane instead of getting all the way to the rim and finishing with a layup, which hurts his percentages quite a bit. He also doesn't possess great strength in either his upper or lower body, making it difficult for him to finish in traffic considering he's not incredibly explosive vertically.
That perhaps wouldn't be as much of an issue if Carter-Williams was an effective perimeter shooter, something he struggled with all season long. His shooting mechanics aren't bad, but his jumper simply doesn't go in very often, partially due to poor shot-selection. Nearly a third of his field goal attempts came from beyond the arc, but he was able to convert just 29% of them, being almost equally as bad with his feet set (28%) as he was shooting off the dribble (26%) this season. Despite his struggles as a shooter, Carter-Williams wasn't deterred, as he continued to fire away all year long, often with mixed results, leading Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim to say half-jokingly: "I can't cook, but if I believed in my cooking like Michael Carter-Williams believes in his shooting, I would win the show 'Iron Chef'. I would win and I can't boil water."
Carter-Williams' questionable decision making skills showed up in other areas as well this season, both on and off the court. He's very turnover prone for one, coughing the ball up on 26% of his possessions this season, third worst of any of the players in our top-100 prospect rankings. He can be very careless, struggles handling under pressure at times, and has a tendency to get too fancy and force tough passes unnecessarily, sometimes at the most inopportune moments.
Off the court, Carter-Williams made at least one baffling decision as well, as he was reportedly involved in a shoplifting incident at a department store where he was caught stealing a bathrobe and gloves and was forced to pay a fine.
One area where Carter-Williams may not have had the opportunity to show everything he can do at the college level is on the defensive end. Jim Boeheim's teams play zone exclusively, which they were extremely successful at this season, ranking as the 5th best defense in college basketball according to KenPom, but leaving some question marks about how he might fare in man to man situations. With that said, there's enough film accumulated of Carter-Williams being isolated one on one against an opposing ball-handler (with the shot clock running down or otherwise) to give us a pretty good idea of how he might fare here down the road.
While Carter-Williams does not possess a huge wingspan, his combination of terrific size, quick feet and excellent instincts make him extremely difficult for opposing guards to deal with, and give him the versatility to defend multiple positions at the NBA level. Pesky, alert, and extremely intense, Carter-Williams puts great pride on this end of the floor, getting low in a stance and putting excellent pressure on the ball when called upon. He has phenomenal instincts jumping into the passing lanes and a real knack for simply stepping into the right place at the right time to take the ball away, always lurking in the background hunting for opportunities to stick his hands in. It's no surprise that Carter-Williams ranks #1 among top-100 prospects in steals per-40 minutes, and by a fairly large margin (20%) at that.
It will be interesting to see how Carter-Williams is evaluated in this draft class, which is not particularly strong at his position. Although he has some glaring flaws in terms of his perimeter shooting and all-around scoring ability, his size, passing skills and defensive prowess could make him a very interesting prospect for a team drafting in the lottery, even if the extent of his upside is still up for debate. While Carter-Williams is a sophomore in terms of college class, he will turn 22 before his NBA rookie season begins, and is basically the same age as fellow point guard prospects C.J. McCollum, Pierre Jackson and Isaiah Canaan, all seniors.
The biggest question NBA teams will have to ask themselves is whether he can develop into a good enough scorer to keep defenses honest, as he's clearly extremely talented in virtually every other area. If he's able to improve his perimeter shooting, he could emerge as a solid piece for a team to build around down the road.
A highly rated recruit coming out of high school, Michael Carter-Williams struggled to find playing time in Jim Boeheim's deep backcourt rotation during his freshman season at Syracuse. Despite the limited playing time, Carter-Williams showed enough during the time he was on the court to maintain a good amount of intrigue as a prospect.
A big time scorer in high school, Carter-Williams played more of a facilitator's role during his freshman year, and with pretty good success. His 8.1 assists per 40 minutes pace adjusted would have rated in the top-5 of our top-100 rankings if he had enough minutes to qualify, as would his ratio of assists per possessions.
Beyond the numbers, Carter-Williams did a very good job of playing in control, especially for a young player who had previously been required to create so much of his team's offense. Carter-Williams rarely looked out of sorts, not dominating the ball for extended stretches, limiting his turnovers, and taking quality shots.
While he wasn't asked to get overly creative in the confines of the Syracuse offense and his relatively limited role, he showed good instincts and overall court vision, getting the majority of his assists off pick and roll kickouts to open shooters and off attention he received on dribble drives.
Carter-Williams' dribble can sometimes appear high, but he appears to have good control over it, and wasn't turnover prone in the least, posting a 3/1 assist to turnover ratio. He has a quick first step and does a good job of changing speeds and direction with the ball in his hands, showing a good ability to get into the lane at the collegiate level.
Once he's in the paint, he has an impressive array of floaters and runners in the lane, and has good enough body control and touch around the hoop to be a good finisher despite his very slender frame.
As a shooter, Carter-Williams has good form on his jump shot and has range out to the collegiate three point line and beyond. Very comfortable in catch and shoot situations, Carter-Williams gets good elevation and has a high release point, allowing him to hit at a good clip even when the shot is well contested.
His effectiveness as a shooter off the dribble wasn't quite as good, but the sample size is low enough that this isn't necessarily representative of his skill set, and he could see big improvement going forward as he gets more opportunity, as the form is there. Showing the ability to hit pull-up and mid-range jump shots will be one of the keys to watch going forward, and will make him even more difficult to defend if he establishes himself as a threat to do so.
On the defensive side of the court is the area where it may be hardest to project Carter-Williams and, outside of the overall depth in the Syracuse backcourt likely the single biggest reason for his limited minutes as the season progressed.
Despite his average wingspan, Carter-Williams has the size and foot speed to be a disruptive force on the perimeter, and he did do a good job of forcing turnovers during his freshman season. His overall dedication on this end can be in question, as he at times appears to lose focus. He's also not particularly good at working through screens, something he'll have to work to improve going forward, especially with his size.
His weight, listed at 176 pounds according on Syracuse website, is a big detriment for him on the defensive side of the ball as well, particularly if he's asked to defend shooting guards at the next level. Whether or not he has the frame to add substantially more weight to his skinny frame is one of the things to watch going forward.
While it wouldn't be prudent to draw too many conclusions from a player who played such limited minutes during his freshman year, what Carter-Williams was able to show as a facilitator was very encouraging. With Syracuse having lost Dion Waiters, Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine from last year's rotation, Carter-Williams will have an opportunity to assume a much larger offensive role. With his versatility as a scorer and play maker, he could definitely be in line for a breakout year.
One of the most highly touted guards in the 2011 high school class, the opinions surrounding Michael Carter-Williams (#31 Scout, #16 Rivals, #32 ESPN) vary greatly depending on whom you're talking to.
A skinny combo guard with long arms and an underdeveloped frame, Williams is a quick and highly aggressive player who serves as his team's primary ball-handler and shot-creator. He never misses out on an opportunity to push the ball up the floor, but is somewhat of a wild player with the ball in his hands when it comes to his decision making and playmaking ability.
Carter's first step and strong ball-handling skills allow him to get to wherever he wants on the court at this level, and in a hurry at that. He's the type of player who wants and needs the ball in his hands all the time, looking extremely impatient to get it back any time he gives it up to a teammate. It's not rare to see him barking and clapping at them incessantly, showing bad body language and somewhat of a star mentality on a team that doesn't really have many options outside of him. He can make shots (inconsistently) with his feet set, gets to the free throw line at a great rate and is capable of making some impressive passes off the dribble, but has a tendency to drive into brick walls and will heave up some very questionable shots from time to time, particularly pulling up from behind the arc early in possessions.
Defensively, Carter-Williams has quick feet, excellent length, and can get plenty of steals with the sheer frenetic energy he plays with. He puts great pressure on the ball, but must improve his fundamentals and focus to reach his potential in this area, as well as add some strength to his skinny frame.
Carter-Williams has a lot of natural tools to work with, but unless he's just willing to give him the keys to his team and let him go wild, it might take some time for Jim Boeheim to integrate him into his system at Syracuse.

Quarterly Report Qatar Q2 2020: Office Market Overview
The commercial office market is yet to feel the full impact of the pandemic
At the end of Q2, prime office supply across West Bay, Lusail, and Msheireb reached 2.3 million square meters, an increase of almost 15% since the beginning of 2019, with occupancy rates in the region of 70%.
Relative to the initial downturn in March, enquiries for new office accommodation in Doha have shown some signs of improving, with increased activity towards the end of Q2.
In terms of general demand trends, Cushman & Wakefield are witnessing an increased level of interest in Lusail Marina District as the area becomes more established, with a critical mass of public sector tenants. Private sector occupiers are being attracted to Lusail by lower occupation costs, compared to West Bay and Msheireb, along with good accessibility and better car parking provision. They progressively view Lusail as the future hub of commercial activity in Qatar, with the only downside being the lack of nearby amenities currently operational.
Another rising trend is occupiers seeking fully fitted space and, in some cases, offices that are furnished by the landlord. In the current economic climate this trend is driven by companies, trying to reduce their capital expenditure when relocating.
The full effect of COVID-19 on the office sector is likely to play out over a prolonged period. Internationally, many companies are reporting that working from home has generally proved to be much more successful than anticipated and expect the trend of working from home and other non-office-based locations to be accelerated. These trends are less likely to be maintained in Qatar on a large scale when offices re-open at full capacity, due to a combination of local cultural practices and that most employees in Qatar do not face lengthy commutes on public transport into the office. While an increase in flexibility, allowing more staff to work from home periodically, is likely, this could be offset by office fit-outs that allow for greater social distancing, private space, and break out areas.
There has been limited evidence to date of COVID-19's impact on rental rates, due to a lack of transactional evidence. In part, this is due to the uncertainty generated by COVID-19, leading to occupiers adopting a wait and see approach before making financial commitments to new space. As more office space comes to the market, we expect further downward pressure on rents, which may manifest itself through generous rent-free incentives or fit-out allowances.
CAT A and fitted office space in West Bay is typically available for between QAR 100 and QAR 140 per sqm per month exclusive of service charges. Prime accommodation in Lusail is available for QAR 90 to QAR 120 per sqm per month, reflecting the fact that it is a new district is trying to attract tenants and build occupancy rates.

Fire Damages Hollywood Hills House; No Injuries Reported
By City News Service Jan 8, 2021
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A fire damaged a house in the Hollywood Hills today, but no one was hurt.
The fire was reported at 4:52 a.m. in the two-story building in the 1700 block of North Courtney Avenue, near Hollywood Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters found heavy fire coming from the structure, and at least one nearby building exposed to flames, according to Margaret Stewart of the LAFD.
The firefighters apparently gained the upper hand on the flames within about an hour, but continued their efforts to fully extinguish the flames.
"Excessive storage both exterior and interior are hampering firefighters ability to access the remaining areas with fire,'' Stewart said in a statement. "Fire crews prevented the fire from damaging any exposed buildings.''
The flames were extinguished in an hour and 56 minutes, Stewart said. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Death Row For the Integrated Set-Top
Multichannel Staff
Here's a vivid depiction of how radical a change the FCC's AllVid proposal would be to the way cable, satellite and telco TV operators currently deliver video services (see FCC's 'AllVid' Gateway Would Require Six IP Video Streams and AT&T U-verse TV Would Not Meet FCC's AllVid Gateway Requirement).
On page 19 of the commission's notice of inquiry describing AllVid is a diagram showing how the FCC-mandated "set-back" adapters and gateways would look hooked up in a consumer's home.
The diagrams show that the adapter/gateway would sit apart from an "AllVid-compatible DVR" — leased from an operator or purchased at retail — or and "AllVid-compatible television" (see below). The current CableCard rule (pointlessly) requires MSOs to provide removable CableCards in their leased set-tops — but now the FCC wants to split out the customer-premises equipment functions into physically separate devices.
Remember, MVPDs would be required to provide an AllVid adapter/gateway to every new subscriber.
Which means in order to provide exactly the same digital TV service it does today, an operator would need to provide at least two separate pieces of equipment.
In the "set-back" model, that's one AllVid adapter — plus one DVR or set-top-like box to provide the navigation functions — per television in the home. In the gateway model, that's potentially just one residential gateway plus AllVid-compatible receivers for each TV (and there is of course no guarantee any subscriber will have purchased an AllVid-compatible TV or DVR).
Is there any chance this would not be more costly for consumers to receive the same level of service they get today with fully integrated set-top boxes?
It's possible. IMS Research's Stephen Froehlich, for one, thinks such an FCC rule could "significantly decrease" the overall cost of customer-premises equipment for pay-TV operators by forcing them to migrate to standardized IP-based gateway architectures (see FCC AllVid Rule Would 'Ban The Set-Top As We Know It': Analyst). Of course, if it were possible for MSOs to cut capex significantly using a residential gateway model, you would have to believe they could do it more easily and cheaply without an FCC-mandated solution.

Home Asia Food Singapore Ah Lun and Ah Pete - A Match Made in Culinary Heaven!
Ah Lun and Ah Pete - A Match Made in Culinary Heaven!
OK, I know that you know already - I love my food!.. and if you followed my transformation journey late last year with Urban Homme and hard-work and discipline, as featured in Men's Health Magazine in February and April, 2011, I managed to shed the extra 15kg of excess body fat brought about by a few years of over-indulgence.
Although I've remained relatively flat since (in weight, not necessarily the waist-line), I do from time-to-time feel the urge to give in to temptation.... which often brings about a guilt-free binge. But let me get it straight - I would not just eat for the sake of eating - the food must be well-worth it.
I was fortunate enough to be invited by OMY and Lianhe Wanbao Chinese Newspaper, to attend the second of their 'Gourmet Food Trail' with legendary foodie, Ah Lun. For those who may not be familiar with Ah Lun, he is a veteran food writer who has contributed to Lianhe Zaobao food columns for years, is an expert when it comes to all things culinary, and these days has a regular section dedicated to him alone on OMY's Food section.
So picture this - five straight hours of eating some of the most succulent and mouth-watering dishes available in Singapore at two venues, prepared by Chefs - experts in their respective fields.
The day was attended by arounded 80 other guests, predominately readers of Lianhe Wanbao, and although the on-stage entertainment and antics were in Chinese language, I in no way felt left out... admittedly, much of the conversation was lost on my inadequate grasp of Mandarin, but we all still spoke in one common language - that of delicious food!
The trail began on the 35th Floor of the Orchard Wing of the Mandarin Orchard Hotel. The very extravagant, award-winnning, Mandarin Court Chinese Restaurant. After registration, the food started flowing. As is always the way with food, the best way to blog about it, I believe is in pictures. Below, you will see the menu along with images from the Mandarin Court leg of the gourmet food trail.
Included in these images, are some random shots of the entertainment - from dress-up games to a demonstration by very talented chefs of how to cut and prepare the world-famous Peking Duck, which was the 'special' non menu dish at this restaurant (it also happens to be one of my all-time favourites of dishes).
Once you're done drooling over your computer or hand-held device - whichever way you happen to be reading this article - be sure to continue further down for my take on the second restaurant (Lao Beijing), the delights offered there, and my first-class effort in preparing Popiah for the appreciative audience (also alive with images).
By this stage, I am completely sated, and my belt has been loosened those couple of notches... so what better to follow on from here? - Of course, more food!!
We walked (rolled?) down to the tour buses that transported us from the heart of Orchard Road to Tiong Bahru Plaza, and directly to the second of the afternoon's sensational taste-bud tempting venues of the Gourmet Trail.
This time, it is for the more 'family style' (ambience) Lao Beijing. Upon talking to the lovely Rae (Assistant VP for TungLok), I understand that the unique experience of being able to roll one's own Popiah is a relatively new and novel offering at Lao Beijing. I also owe a debt of gratitude for Rae making sure that my hand-made Popiah was packaged up for me to take back to my wife at home. :) I don't know what would have happened if I had turned up at home empty-handed, with a camera full of images of the food that I'd spent a full five hours consuming on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
The entertainment also continued, with demostration by the Chefs, as well as a game involving a pair of chopsticks and what appeared to be very slippery marbles in a glass.
As aforementioned, I also unwittingly became a part of the entertainment - perhaps the most humourous of all was my attempt at speaking Chinese - one very nervous Caucasian speaking to a room full of fluent-speaking Chinese Singaporeans.
Although I jest about my stage appearance, I must say I felt quite special to be invited up and was earlier somewhat humbled to be told by one very senior gentleman from Lianhe Wanbao, that he is a fan of my blog and reads it regularly.
So, without further ado... the following is the menu from Lao Beijing for our second session of the day, along with drool-worthy pictures and some random images of the entertainment - including yours truly and my first public food preparation demonstration!! - be sure to check out the location of both restaurants at the bottom of this article... if you like what you see in the pictures and I've aroused any of your senses, be sure to head on down and check them out.

Volunteers are at the heart of the work that we do. They provide thousands of hours of crucial and highly skilled support to survivors and our organisation every year.
There are a number of ways that you can get involved that range from offering emotional support and psychoeducation information to survivors to administration fundraising, campaigning, and being involved in decision making.
Volunteering with us provides you with the opportunity to develop your skills and experience as well as to meet new friends.
We understand that there are many different reasons why you might give your time to SARSAS and explore these with you to best support you on your volunteering journey with us.
We value our volunteers and to show our appreciation we provide you with a thorough induction, ongoing support, additional training and development opportunities, and clinical group supervision.
You don't necessarily need to have experience of support work – or working with sexual violence and abuse to volunteer – your personal qualities, views and ability to support survivors is what is important. Our training is comprehensive and will equip you with the knowledge to build on your skills and experience.
For more information on volunteering at SARSAS, download our Frequently Asked Questions.
We usually recruit for volunteers twice a year in the Spring and early Autumn.
All volunteering opportunities are advertised here on our website or on social media.
We are currently recruiting for Helpline Volunteer Support Workers and Assistant Administrator Volunteers.

Volunteer Voices
Why do you volunteer at SARSAS?
"I believe all voices should be heard."
"I volunteer as I want to help provide support for those who have been sexually abused or raped. SARSAS ensures that I am trained so that I can provide the best service possible" Esther
"Sexual violence and abuse is something that affects so many of us. In school I was never told what was okay. I want to let other survivors know that it's their body and their choice." Mary
"I'm angry and it gives me a positive way to channel that rage. When we stand together we are an awesome, monstrous regiment of women" Esther
What do you get out of volunteering with SARSAS?
"A genuine sense of making a difference. Also, the warmth, camaraderie and great support from SARSAS and the team I work with. It's a 'family', all signed up to the same, shared values, everyone there for each other.
Oh, and great socials!!" Alison
"We have such a wonderful group of women on the shift. We support each other during the calls and love what we do. We share our highs and lows. I always leave on a high." Jen
"A friend of mine said to me "Don't you want to give yourself a pat on the back for the good stuff you do?" But it's not about that. It's about knowing that the service user has felt able to make a connection with the person at the other end of the phone and that that could be integral to their recovery and sense of being in the world." Lyn
"Being with amazing women who are passionate about what they do. Being there for survivors, speaking to people in different stages of trauma." Mary
A day in the life of a helpline volunteer
"I am welcomed onto every shift by a 'check in' with the shift supervisor and other volunteers. How are we?, what's going on for us today? This is a space to be heard and to settle. The helpline opens and I can then anticipate a variety of calls from survivors,
relatives or friends of survivors or professionals. The calls can be about signposting to other organisations, starting the process of the survivor being assessed for SARSAS services and of course a place where survivors and relatives can just call to be listened to, to be believed and supported in how they are feeling in that moment.
We are continually reminded to take breaks and look after ourselves, to observe our own responses to the impact of sometimes horrific stories. We end a shift with a check out, a place to share experiences and name what may be difficult for us.
To do a role like this you have to feel there is someone to listen to you and your variety of emotional responses. To be a volunteer at SARSAS to me means support. I can do the role because I am held. So part of my 'day in the life of a SARSAS Volunteer'is to experience support so then I can effectively support others."Fleur

The model is opposite 21 Jump Street's Spencer Boldman.
Emily Ratajkowski is back on the big screen in a new trailer for Cruise, a gritty romance set in '80s New York City. The film is directed by Robert Siegel, who also did The Wrestler and The Founder. Ratajkowski plays Jessica Weinberg, a wealthy Jewish college student who at night, has an alter-ego named Francesca. Maxim reports that in the film, Ratajkowski's character encounters Gio Fortunato (Spencer Boldman), a young Italian-American troublemaker "from the wrong side of the tracks." They, not surprisingly, end up going on an adventure together that is life changing, all just in the course of one summer.
This is not the model's first time on the big screen. She has recently starred in Amy Schumer's I Feel Pretty as well as In Darkness and We Are Your Friends. But her Instagram account is definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

WHERE DO you start with St Colman's? Back to the 40s and the team an tAthair Peadar de Barra — PDB — steered to Harty success, with Fr Bertie Troy and footballer Mick Gould?
With Seanie O'Leary taking on Farranferris in the 60s, or the 1973 clash with the North Mon that came with an accompanying riot in Midleton?
With Paul Flynn burying goals for De La Salle against Colman's in 1992 — only for Fergal McCormack of the Cork school marking Flynn out of it in the replay?
With Timmy McCarthy's team in 1996 or the irresistible 1997 vintage, or the three-in-a-row heroes of 2001-3?
Starting places aplenty. Tomorrow a St Colman's All-Star team take on a Cork selection as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations, though outside factors have overshadowed the build-up.
"It was always a huge thing in the school," says principal Dermot Coakley, "Even when we weren't winning Harty matches, not to mind cups, when Gus (Kelleher) and I were at school here.
"We looked at different ways of celebrating the school anniversary — academic excellence, arts and so on, and this was part of it. We wanted to provide a venue for elite players to perform in, where everyone could get together and chat and swap stories.
Teacher Gus Kelleher offers a glimpse of Colman's history from the 1948 Harty Cup winners onwards.
The 1977 side took Harty honours with the likes of Sean O'Brien and John Hartnett of Midleton; in the 80s Colman's had teams with Pat Hartnett, Christy Clancy, Cathal Casey and Mark Landers but they went out to the eventual Harty winners five years in a row.
The 1992 team won the Harty again, and then came two outstanding teams, in 1996 and 1997.
"In 1996, Timmy McCarthy James Murray, Eoin Murphy, Will Twomey and Luke Mannix came through, but we lost the All-Ireland title just after the semi-final. Timmy gave his best performance for Colman's against Cyril Farrell's St Raphael's Loughrea, in the All-Ireland semi-final, and Cyril told us in the dressing room afterwards that St Kieran's had nothing — and that was the rock we perished on: we lost the final.
And they're helped along the way in the college. The in-house game of moppers helps.
Tomorrow's game was easy to organise, in one sense.
"We're focusing on the celebrations," says Coakley. "We're asking past pupils to come along whether they played Harty or not, to meet old classmates they haven't seen in years. That's the focus for us — celebrating what we have had and what we have.
For Colman's the Harty is special, generating its own tradition and momentum. Players may not be clapped into the refectory after games as in the old days, but Queeney points out that a new tradition — students lining up by the school gates for the Harty team to return — has taken its place.
School founder TW Croke probably wasn't considering that when he welcomed James Joyce's father and an tAthair Peadar O Laoghaire as students into the school 150 years ago.
Then again, the All-Ireland senior colleges hurling trophy bears Croke's name. But that's where you start with St Colman's.
lSt Colman's All-Stars v Cork, Pairc Mhic Gearailt Fermoy, 2.30pm.
ST COLMAN'S ALL STARS: D. Fitzgerald (Bride Rovers), B. Murphy (Bride Rovers), J Murray (Tallow), E. Murphy (Shamrocks), M. O' Brien (Garryspillane), C. McGann (Castlelyons), A. Kearney (Tallow), M. Landers (Killegh), F. McCormack (Mallow), S. Molumphy (Ballyduff Upper), J. O' Driscoll (Bride Rovers), T. McCarthy (Castlelyons, captain), A. O' Shaughnessy (Kilmallock), N. Ronan (Ballyhea), B. Murphy (Scarriff).
CORK: A. Kennedy (Sars), C. O'Sullivan (Sars), C. Murphy (Blackrock), A. Kearney (Midleton), J. Moran (Carrigaline), S. White (Ballygarvan), G. O'Driscoll (Newcestown), B. Johnson (Bride Rovers), G. O'Connor (St. Finbarrs), D. Crowley (Bandon), C. O'Leary (Blackrock), C. McCarthy (Sarsfields), C. Dorris (Glen Rovers), M. Collins (Bride Rovers), T. Óg Murphy (Sarsfields).


First, get the dihedral steamed in and dope about a two to three inch wide strip of Polyspan on top side of center section only. Heat shrink and use high shrink fuel proof clear dope on this center section area. Be precise. This is to secure the dihedral warp.
Second, steam in matching under camber on both sides of wings and give undersides only several coats of high shrink fuel proof clear dope.
Third, seal top side of wing (do not overcoat the two inch center section) with low shrink nitrate dope.
Fourth, decide what type of graphics to use if any and proceed accordingly.
You may also want to experiments with dyes and tints mixed in the dope or stained directly into the bare balsa.
This will make a world of difference in appearance of the model. Remember this model will never be able to do any more than inside loops, wingovers and brief inverted flight.
Thanks Bill, Wow less than ten bucks for an engine equipped bipe.
$9.95 in 1952 is $93.04 in today's money. The inexpensive ARF's from China cost far less than what a product would cost in the US to produce. We have been spoiled by them price wise.
ticomareado wrote: Regarding Royal Spitfire .065 on Firebaby. The .065 is beam mount only and the ones you see in the ad art by AJ are most surely mounted by some kind of adapter supplied with that particular edition of the package deal kit. Also be advised that .065 is rather heavy. On the other hand, a Royal Spitfire .049 uses a clone of Atwood's two bolt back plate mounting system and is much lighter than the .065.
Now, as a peace offering to Cox Nazis, a good running Pee Wee .020 will work quite nicely on a Firebaby. Of course we could go with a full mod Tee Dee .049 on a bladder like that Texas R/C speed demon guy uses and fly it 'til the wing buckles in two.
Flicking my switch again Gwilloe!

Why not everybody here build one over the winter and we have a fly-off in the spring???????????
Chancey has the PDF, and I know you guys have got scads of balsa gathering dust!!!! If not five bucks at Hobby Lobby and your in business.
Boy that idea hit the Cox Engine Forums floor with a thud. I like the tether car idea better.
Oh well............I did get to HL and bought some plastic sheet, balsa, and foam project board which might work better than balsa for the fuselage. But I think I will still use balsa substituting 3/16 for the 1/4 originally planned. This way I can rib the perimeters with balsa stock replicating the original. A project in the wings, got to get to those three rusty engines first. I picked up some Evapo-Rust today too.
I think roddie used some of that project board or something similar for an airplane.
It's not a bad idea Bob, just post a new thread with that title. That way everyone can see it.
Hey Robert! Such an iconic model! I like your plans to reproduce it!! Regarding the fuse; you could opt for 3/16" balsa-sheet and laminate both sides to provide a super-strong structure. Built-in doublers; nose to tail. I've used 1/64" plywood (foam wing-skin stock). for a myriad of strengthening purposes. Sig Manufacturing sold me one each; 1/64" and 1/32" plywood, 12" x 24" sheets circa 1994. They've been well-worth the $$$ spent.. You could build some stronger, yet lightweight fuse-assemblies.. that wouldn't warp. I'd like to see that.. in a kit.
Resurrecting that old bent and beat Firebaby fuselage has been one of my most entertaining model airplane projects. Very little initial expenditure for the plane and virtually nothing for the parts necessary to flesh it out as I had everything on-hand. And....it was simple, by not challenging my diminished 81 YO brain. I liked that!
It would be nice if someone here built one too, cheap and easy just requiring time which I have in abundance, but others here maybe not so much. Sorta like when Jim built his Mosquito and we compared notes.
Roddie, you mean Al la TD Bandits, Bipe? That was a fun project too and quite a few here got involved in it.
Sounds great, now put it into motion. I would like to see something, say by next Tuesday.
I remember CEF member Roger Harris was offering laser-cut kits of the Sterling "Beginners" Ringmaster Bipe a few years ago. I think that "Eric" built one. There were a few others who bought the kits.. but I can't remember who..
Roger had two versions available. One had two-piece wings for shipping internationally.
I've always loved biplanes and triplanes.
Check out this drawing.. any one of these would be simple and fun to build!
Would my previously built FireBaby II count? If so, I'm done!
Picture just for those who may have not seen it before.
roddie, isn't Roger Harris and TD Bandit one in the same?
And, Chancey, most definitely. Beautiful model and I love the shape of the wing.
Yea thats the one thats been on the finish for O say 2 yrs. now That is redickulas I guess we ran Poor old Roger off with all the laser cutting and his generousness, I still got the Micro that came in the mail busted up and need to reproduce some parts for !!
That is one nice little bipe there. I always wanted to try one, but don't think I would have the patience to finish two wings, let alone one!
rsv1cox wrote: roddie, isn't Roger Harris and TD Bandit one in the same?
Agreed, and there is something about that colour of yellow for a bipe.
Thanks Fred for un-confusing me.
I bought two of the BRM bipe kits off Roger. The 2-piece wing version for cheaper shipping to AUS.

Review: "Emotions" - Steerner
Steerner's latest single, "Emotions", is a romantic ode to his lover. The song begins with him saying that he gets drunk on a Monday and high on a Wednesday. These behaviors on mundane weekdays paints the picture that he is "down in the deep". But then he sings that his partner is "dragging" him up and making him feel like he "is enough" for them. When Steerner wants to feel emotions, he turns to his partner. The darkness he feels throughout the week fades away when he is with them. The remaining lyrics then paint the picture of two lovers looking into each other's eyes and seeing their future.
The perfect summer love song is here. "Emotions" is the type of song you blast in your car with your friends while heading to the beach for the weekend. The incredible electronica pop song gets stuck in the head of every listener. EDM is known for its intense beat drops and chaotic rhythms. However, "Emotions", has a rather steady beat with no intense drops.This feels intentional, as if the production represents how comfortable and happy he is feeling in this relationship. The first few lines show the darkness in Steerner's life, but then it lights up when the lyrics reveal this is a love song to the one person that brings him out of the dark. This upbeat, catchy song is the picture-perfect song playing at the end of a romantic comedy when the two leads finally get their happy ending together
Steerner is a pop & EDM artist from Stockholm, Sweden. He has gained support from many artists of the genre, including the late EDM legend, Avicii. His single, "I Wouldn't Lie", has over 10 million streams on Spotify, where he has 355,686 monthly listeners. Steerner is known for his upbeat, feel-good music that has the ability to get anyone up and onto the dance floor. He has also provided his skills to Disney. The soundtrack to the 2017 movie, Coco, features Steerner's remix to Miguel's song, "Remember Me". He has worked with other prolific artists, such as The Chainsmokers and Alan Walker. Steerner has made a name for himself and continues to thrive in the electronic scene.

My father is a woodturner and over the past few years he has handed me some of his turned peices to enhance. I have embellished them mostly with acrylic paints by painting flowers and designs. A couple years ago he asked me to try pyrography on one of his pieces. I had never done this before but I figured, why not, try it, it's just another medium. Well, I loved it.
Last year he taught me how to turn and I also took a small class on it. I have only turned a dozen pieces or so. I recently turned this bowl for the purpose of using the rim for my picture.
I normally do not use stencils or trace or draw on the wood. I freehand with the pyrography pen on most everything I do. It leaves you no room for mistakes by doing it this way, but its but its the way I paint and draw. Recently, some local woodturners wanted me to show them how to burn so to make it easier to show them I divided this bowl into four sections, drew my picture within one section, then transferred the picture onto the rest of the bowl. I was then able to show them in steps how the process went. Later I finished up the bowl and decided to enter it.
I have recently been using aniline dyes on the wood to enhance the pyrography.
was more pronounced. I don't know much about finishing yet and I don't have much on hand to complete this process. So I polished it with carnauba wax.
I like to finish the bottom of each piece with something from the main piece, such as a leaf, flower or scene.
Andi : The pyrography is nicely done and works very well with this platter form. Completing the design with the detail on the foot is really great as is the gentle coloring effects that complement the wood.
Graeme : Nice turning and great pyrography, I like the subtle use of colour.
Molly : As a beginning turner, the platter is well executed. The bead where the rim and bowl meet provides a crisp and deliberate transition, strengthening the overall piece. The pyrography looks well done, while the subtle coloring provides additional depth.

I'm getting an error of unidentified objets image and name from ($image = $_POST ["image"]..). If I use if(isset) I get the below response:

Image upload failed2

A: Remove the space
$image = $_POST["image"];
$name = $_POST["name"];

A: I am guessing you are not sending the "image" and "name" from the api request thats why it is not set.

A: You got "Image upload failed2" response when your database connection is failed.
Please check your connection by adding below code:
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
   die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

Your code looks something like:
$con = mysqli_connect($host_name, $user_name, $user_pass, $db_name);

if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
   die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error());

Community Healthlink of Massachusetts has been a leader in mental health and substance abuse treatment since 1977. A member of the UMass Memorial Health Care network, this CARF accredited treatment facility offers assistance and options to adolescents, adults and families through education and recovery resources, with residential and outpatient services in many different locations throughout the state.
Community Healthlink offers an inpatient detox treatment that is approximately four to six days, with 24 hour care. During this time, a caseworker assists clients in developing an aftercare program; this can include entrance into the residential treatment, known as PASSages, which is up to 30 days depending on individual health needs.
PASSages, which is considered a Clinical Stabilization Service (CSS) and Thayer Transitional Support Service (TSS) is both for men and women over the age of 18. The programs are housed in a facility that is set up like a dorm, fitting up to 42 clients at a time, with the genders separated during meals and down time but together in group therapy sessions.
Three meals a day are prepared and served by the facility staff and snacks are put out throughout the day.
In both inpatient and outpatient programs, Community Healthlink uses evidence-based therapy practices, as well as the 12-step approach, depending on what serves each individual the best. Group and individual therapy employ CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) methods, as well as psycho-educational topics like relapse prevention and sober living skills.
In the PASSages residential program, clients participate in up to six group meetings a day for four weeks. Individual sessions can be scheduled as needed and two off-site AA meetings are required a week. With the basic goal of the facility being to stabilize the clients and provide next step choices, the amenities aren't elaborate, but do provide a safe and supportive environment for all clients while acclimating to a sober lifestyle.
The Thayer Transitional Support Service (TSS) program is a 30-day step down program that is available after inpatient treatment. The TSS program's main goal is to prepare clients to transition into the community and connect them with appropriate community resources, like AA/NA sponsors, so that they will be in the best position to remain sober once discharged. In both programs, family visitation is encouraged and times are determined per the individual during treatment. There is no smoking while in the facility, and Community Healthlink provides services for nicotine replacement.
If a clients opt to continue on with an outpatient program after leaving residential treatment at the facility, an individual therapy schedule is developed according to what the client desires. This can include anywhere between one and five sessions per week at one of the outpatient clinics located in Worcester and Leominster. Starting directly with outpatient treatment is also an option. The duration of outpatient treatment is completely up to the individual.
Community Healthlink staff is a mix of licensed professional and LCSWs, LADCs, residential therapists, RN's and peer counselors. Peer counselors are formers clients of the program who share their experiences in groups and offer support to clients going through the programs.
Yoga is available three times a week for residential clients as well as art therapy.
Community Healthlink offers sober living housing options for those who qualify, as well as two adolescent treatment facilities, Highland Grace House and Motivating Youth Recovery.
Community Healthlink's programs allow clients to decide for themselves what method of treatment is best for them, encouraging healthy choices and helping individuals regain a sense of self worth. By offering many different treatment modalities and allowing for plenty of access to counselors, clients explore many different ways to achieve and maintain sobriety.

The picture does not showcase any CHL program.
Men and women are not separated at any time during their stay at the inpatient substance abuse continuum, except of course in their bedrooms and bathrooms.
Staff are not trained in evidence-based practices at CHL, so I can't imagine that they're using these techniques. And if they are being utilized, there aren't any internal checks to ensure fidelity to any particular model.
The CSS PASSages program is usually up to 14 days, maybe 20, but never 30 days. TSS is longer than 30 days, closer to 90 days. In the substance abuse continuum, family visits are NOT "encouraged" nor offered on site. While on the units, the patients do not attend "off site" AA/NA meetings; the meetings are conducted on the unit.
There aren't any outpatient programs at CHL that offer 5 appointments a week. Its difficult getting one appointment, let alone 5 in a row.
The programs are mostly staffed with residential 'counselors', (not "residential therapists", that's not a thing). While there are Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs, which is not listed), and other Master-Level unlicensed staff, I'm not aware of any LADC staff that work on the units. There are very few peer specialists.
I would also like to point out that CHL does not "allow plenty of access to counselors" (I'm assuming you mean clinicians or therapists). The agency is understaffed; detox has maybe two clinicians that only meet with a fraction of the patients and the TSS has ZERO clinicians.

Q: change color of div and its siblings on hover w/o javascript I have two divs floated next to one another:

 content

 content

When either div is hovered over, I'd like to change the colors of both divs (to something different). Say, one yellow, the other red. Is there a way to do this? I put the div id="parent" in there thinking that I could do something when that is hovered over; change the divs with this id (or class) to this color within the parent. But I don't really know if this is possible. Also, jquery hover events always seem very delayed with respect to css, so I am trying to avoid using a script. Thanks much!

A: div#parent:hover div#child_1 {
  color: red;
}

div#parent:hover div#child_2 {
  color: yellow;
}

A: Add a class to child_1 and child_2, call it "children" or whatever you want.  Then use this CSS:
.children:hover #child_1 { color: red; }
.children:hover #child_2 { color: yellow; }

The Great Leveler
Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century
By Walter Scheidel
The Great Leveler (2017) takes a look at the inequality faced by different societies throughout history. It highlights war, plague and other major catastrophes as a leveler of the unequal distribution of power and property, prompting the question: can equality be achieved in a non-violent manner?
People interested in the history of inequality
Students of politics
Those who enjoy learning about different societies
Walter Scheidel holds degrees in both history and biology and is a professor of humanities at Stanford University. He has published many books, including the successful Slavery in the Ancient World.
A better quality of life gave rise to inequality, before technological advancements made it worse.
The ice age was a difficult period for humanity. When it finally ended, you'd expect that our lives would've gotten better. Yet, while in some ways they did, not all the changes that came with the improved climate were positive.
As the last ice age came to an end some 11,700 years ago, we entered a period of climate stability known as the Holocene. During this time, humans who had settled in Middle East began cultivating the land and producing food, eventually resulting in a surplus. This marked the start of disequalization, as some began to accumulate larger areas of land and more food resources while employing others to work on their property. The structure of society was beginning to take shape.
In contrast to earlier hunter-gatherer societies in which power was spread equally and horizontally, the new society that emerged during the Holocene was structured hierarchically, with stark differences between rich and poor. Evidence for this discrepancy comes from archeological remains dating back 11,000 years, showing for the first time large differences in household sizes. In addition, the fish bones found in the perimeter of the larger households indicate that these people were eating large fish, whereas in the smaller houses, small fish were the norm.
In addition to the increased quality of life, technological improvements also impacted societies for the worse. Not even smaller tribal communities could escape inequality. During the period AD 500-700, the Chumash tribe – who lived on the Californian coast – developed a new type of canoe that increased the number of fishermen journeying out into the deep sea to catch fish. In no time, men, who controlled and managed the canoes, rose to dominate the tribe. Males secured control over tribal land, religious ceremonies and the war-making. As gratitude for their safety, other members of the tribe offered the male chiefs key trade items such as food and shells.
As you can see, inequality has been around for a long time – brought about by increased quality of life as well as technological advancements. In the next blink, we'll see what continued to drive this divide.
In the beginning, land ownership was egalitarian, but in certain circles property soon became concentrated.
Throughout the history of Europe, inequality has been kept in line by the fall of government and the plague.
Inequality was rife in Japan, but this changed with WWII.
The 1917 revolution in Russia leveled out inequality through organized and violent efforts.
Even though the state of Somalia collapsed in 1991, the poverty that followed left the country in better condition.
Inequality can't be solved by democracy or left-wing governments.
Economic reforms have been proposed in an effort to reduce inequality, but they've yet to undergo feasibility testing.

Michael Eaton: Dialogical (Destiny)
A review of the saxophonist's second album
Published July 2, 2019 July 2, 2019 – By David Whiteis
The cover of Dialogical by Michael Eaton
"Serious play" may be a cliché by now, but it exemplifies the spirit that dances through this set. Apropos to the title, the emphasis is on mutuality: unison melody lines dissolving into contrapuntal interplay (both improvised and otherwise); shifting time signatures (often juxtaposed against one another); abrupt alterations in voicing. The dialectic between group cohesion and individual expression results in an appropriately paradoxical tension between thematic continuity and fluidity.
At times, an additional creative tension—between harmony and dissonance—makes itself felt. "Thanatos and Eros" starts with a dialogue between Cheryl Pyle's flute and Eaton's soprano sax, and their interplay—sometimes easy and free-flowing, sometimes at apparent cross-purposes—reflects the tautness implied by the title (the forces of death and renewal, locked in eternal embrace). After a brief interlude, the rest of the ensemble weighs in with a characteristically shape-shifting, rhythmically variegated theme, featuring an undulating, exploratory piano statement from Brad Whiteley and some lithe, full-bodied sax work from Eaton. ("Machinic Eros," a brief sax-flute duet, sounds almost like a reimagining of the "Thanatos and Eros" intro, but this time the two voices resolve themselves into a rich, harmonious blend.)
"I and Thou," among the most ambitious offerings here, begins with a prayerful gimbri solo from Daniel Ori, segues into an Eastern-tinged ensemble dance, and then dissolves into interludes of meditative quietude, during which guest saxophonists James Brandon Lewis and Sean Sonderegger weigh in with solos that alternate between melodiousness and overtone-toughened, free-form aggression. The play gets a little darker on the four-part "Temporalities," which concludes the set—astringent harmonic clashes, blaring tones, claustrophobically circular repetitions, an overall feel of urgency impelled by a thrusting militance—an unsettling but effective meld of caprice, iconoclasm, and dread.

Entire Cast of Survivor Guatemala Killed in Nuclear Bunker-Buster Test Blunder
By admin - Posted on November 8th, 2005
bunker-busters
Guatemala City, Guatemala, December 2, 2005 -- Fans and viewers of the popular CBS reality television show Survivor Guatemala: The Maya Empire were dealt a disappointing blow with the admission by the US Defense Department that it had inadvertently vaporized the entire remaining cast in a nuclear weapons testing blunder yesterday.
A spokesman for CBS said the incident was "regrettable", but added that the network plans to continue the series with a resurrected cast of surviving former Survivors under the name Survivor Guatemala: The Day After.
The unfortunate incident, which abruptly took the lives of eight Survivor members, two sound technicians and seven Steadicam operators, was apparently triggered when a covert military operations officer accidentally transposed a pair of coordinates to be used in the secret weapons test. The officer, identified only as "Major X", said he was "truly sorry about the mistake" and extended the families of the dead Survivors "his very best wishes".
Killed in the blast were Survivors Bobby Jon Drinkard, Cindy Hall, Danni Boatwright, Gary Hogeboom, Jamie Newton, Lydia Morales, Rafe Judkins and Stephenie LaGrossa. Also in the area was Survivor Judd Sergeant IV, who apparently met his demise in an unrelated incident in which he was killed and eaten by hungry fellow Survivors a few hours before the detonation. An unauthorized SMS sent by one of the dead Survivors before the explosion reportedly stated that the rotund Judd was "delicious, juicy, and very tender".
Survivors of the blast are former Survivors Jim Lynch, Morgan McDevitt, Brianna Varela, Brooke Struck, Blake Towsley, Margaret Bobonich, Amy O'Hara, Brandon Bellinger, Brian Corridan, all of whom had the good fortune to be voted off the show prior to the accident. The former Survivor survivors will be flown back to Guatemala "at the earliest opportunity" to continue the series under its new Survivor Guatemala: The Day After title.
"I'm pretty lucky, I guess," said an ambivalent Brandon Bellinger, who was voted out in early November. "I mean, I really wanted to get that million dollar check, but I guess I'm glad I got voted out before that nuclear bunker-buster hit. Now I guess I get a second chance, so I'm happy about that, too. I really hope I get that million dollar check this time. And that they don't drop any more nuclear bunker-busters, because that would really suck. Especially if I was close to getting that check."
A spokesman for the Defense Department explained that the explosion was an unanticipated result of a covert nuclear bunker-buster testing program that was being run without congressional approval or oversight. The testing was being undertaken in secret due to widespread bi-partisan condemnation by lawmakers, pundits, and the public of the expanded tactical nuclear weapons development programs proposed by President Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Vice President Dick Cheney.
"With everyone – Congress, the press, the international community – running around talking about 'loose nukes' and nuclear proliferation, it just seemed like a good idea to move our own tactical nuclear weapons development projects off the books, as it were," the spokesman, who asked not to be identified, explained.
The Bush administration announced in early November of this year that it would be suspending its numerous weapons of mass destruction development programs, including the so-called "Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator" or "bunker-buster" and the "Vigorous Congressional Oversight Remediator", or "budget-crusher", immediately.
According to the Defense Department spokesman, the administration did, as promised, suspend publicly acknowledged testing of these new nuclear weapons, but, in accordance with standard Bush administration praxis, then continued nuclear testing in a covert operation known as "Nuke 'Em If You Got 'Em". The program was secretly authorized by Bush and Cheney and financed by one of Donald Rumsfeld's many military slush funds.
"It seemed to be working fine," said the spokesman. "This was one of our first live tests. We were trying to drop the nuclear earth penetrator in a remote region of Guatemala that also, according to our internal records, contains a lot of leftover buried corpses from CIA covert ops in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, so we thought we'd kill two birds with one stone. You wouldn't want those to surface, what with Bush I's fingerprints all over them, of course. Then a couple of coordinates got switched, and poof. Collateral damage. We really weren't planning to kill a bunch of Survivors."
CBS said it will be relocating the shooting of the revised Survivor Guatemala series due to the fact that the original location is now heavily irradiated and will be uninhabitable "for about 15 to 20 thousand years", according to the Pentagon spokesman. The new location is expected to be announced Tuesday.

Point secured on the road
Home / Match report / Point secured on the road
January30January 30, 2021
The Spireites came away from the Chigwell Construction Stadium with a commendable 2-2 draw despite having ten men for over 80 minutes.
James Rowe made two enforced changes to the side that draw to Boreham Wood. Marcus Dinanga replaced the injured Joe Rowley.
Gavin Gunning also came in to make his full debut, replacing the suspended Jak McCourt. Jack Clarke and Joel Taylor returned to the bench.
Chesterfield had the ball in the back of the net within the opening three minutes. Tom Whelan's corner was headed in at the back post by George Carline, but the referee blew up for a foul during the set-piece.
Whelan was involved again soon after. Unfortunately, his high foot caught Alex Reynolds and a straight red card was shown to the midfielder.
However, the Spireites took the lead despite the one-man disadvantage. Captain Will Evans picked up the ball in the area and fired the ball past Elliott Justham at his near post.
It only took Dagenham & Redbridge a few minutes to bring the scores back level. A well worked move eventually fell to the feet of Scott Wilson, who guided the ball beyond Adam Przybek.
After an explosive 20 minutes from both sides, things calmed down with the teams battling hard for the ball.
With five minutes of the first half to go, the away side re-took the lead. Haydn Hollis did brilliantly on the right-hand side of the box before having his shot saved. Justham palmed the ball into the path of Akwasi Asante and the forward tapped home from close-range.
The home side made two changes at half time and it was one of the substitutes in Sam Deering who let fly from 25-yards in the 50th minute. The shot forced Przybek to tip the ball onto the post.
Two minutes later, Deering found the target. The midfielder unleashed a rocket from range which found the top right-hand corner.
Both teams started to search for goal to put their side ahead. Evans latched onto Carline's cross at the back post, but couldn't get the right connection on the ball.
The hosts had the ball in the back of the net with 20 minutes to go after Liam Gordon placed the ball past Przybek and into the back of the net. The flag was up though for offside and the goal was ruled out.
Deering almost grabbed his second goal of the game in three minutes of added time; his 30-yard piledriver skimmed the crossbar.
A resolute Chesterfield side continued to defend and keep Dagenham at bay. The full time whistle blew as both teams came away with the share of the spoils.
Chesterfield: Przybek, Carline, Evans, Hollis, Maguire, Whittle, Gunning (M. Smith 78), Weston, Whelan, Dinanga (Mandeville 63), Asante.
Unused Substitutes: Taylor, Yarney, Clarke.

Demi Taylor's 5 Favourite Short Surf Films
Demi Taylor, London, September 2019. Photo: Owen Tozer
London Surf Film Festival and Lockdown Surf Film Festival Organiser Demi Taylor on her favourite surf indies.
"The thing for me about short films is that it's such an accessible, egalitarian form of filmmaking, and one that I think often allows for the most originality and expression. It's not about the size of your budget or the quality of your equipment but rather your creativity, and your ability to craft a story and draw your audience in. In surfing we have that great oral tradition of storytelling – of the sessions, the legends, the places, the characters, the boards, the journeys, the moments in time. There is such deep vein to mine, and so many ways to tell a tale.
It's hard to pick my five favourite anything… it kind of depends on the day so I've focussed in on those independent shorts that really resonate, raise the bar and move the conversation onwards. I've focussed on narrative rather than performance surfing as I feel the bigger budgets and brand-backed films often have the edge here".
1. George Greenough – Echoes
"This is a singular piece of cinematography. POV may be an oft-used mechanism now but in the 1970s when George Greenough strapped that 13kg camera rig to his back – a jerry-rigged 16mm film camera in a water housing – and paddled out on his spoon he took us inside the barrel for one of the very first times, offering us a shared surfing experience.
Echoes is more than a technical success and a celebration of the DIY surf mentality though. It's 22 mesmerising minutes of light and water and sound… and it's that perfect intersection of surf, art and music, and of course collaboration with the mighty Pink Floyd".
2. Mickey Smith – Dark Side Of The Lens
"When this film came out it won every award going and rightly so. It shifted the narrative, reframed what surf movies could look like. Ten years on it still feels groundbreaking, and still has the power to move you, no matter how many times you've seen it. Everyone should see this film."
3. Chris McClean & Mark Waters – Uncommon Ideals
"Then Chris McClean and Mark Waters came along with Uncommon Ideals and did it all over again. Combining visually arresting cinematography (very little of which was any actual surf footage), original poetry from Dan Crockett, music from UNKLE (that they managed to use because they asked and the band believed in their project) and produced using Chris's wife's student loan, Uncommon Ideals won the very first edition of London Surf / Film Festival Shorties homegrown short film strand. It set the bar, and it set it high.
The film went viral, won countless awards at numerous festivals and set both filmmakers off on their own very successful journeys. But more importantly it is a real testament to how creativity and ambition, rather than cashflow can and should shape a film. It's also one of the most – ahem – 'emulated' films of recent times".
4. Crayfish – The Shaper
"The Shaper is so funny and so wry because it threads such a fine line. Rob Lockyear and Jeremy Joyce are award-winning filmmakers and talented comedy writers because they have the canny ability to capture the zeitgeist and poke fun at it without being mean or demeaning. Rather, they take you along for the ride so we're laughing 'with', not 'at'. It was a toss up for me between this and their first film Wreckers (which shows just how well you can tell a tale in 2 minutes 30). They've gone on to make a number of award winning surf films including Freezing and The Outrider, which was Surfer Poll nominated".
5. Peter Baker – Maurice Cole: The First Wave
"With filmmaking you ask yourself, what am I trying to say? How am I adding to the conversation? And with a great documentary you want to give your audience a better sense of the character and real story that drives them. This is that great film. It tackles so many issues – race, identity, mental health, community in such a short space of time, and does it beautifully. It makes you feel, it makes you think, plus there is some incredible surfing in there to back it all up".
