TWELVE prominent establishments that have contributed greatly to the city's growth and development especially in the aspect of economic, education and health services were recognized during the city's charted day celebration on June 15, 2015.
These establishments have been here at least 50 years old and thus have seen and contributed to the growth and development of Cagayan de Oro throughout the years.
Archbishop James Thomas Gibbons Hayes, the first Bishop and Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, had a dream of building a hospital in Cagayan de Oro City. After WWII, he invited the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) to come to the city and help him realize this dream. Established through the generosity of distinguished Cagayan de Oro folks, the Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM), and the Society of Jesus, the Maria Reyna Hospital was built in 1958 with the SPC Sisters at the forefront of the hospital's operations. It grew into the Maria Reyna-Xavier University Hospital after the SPC Sisters entered into a tripartite agreement with Xavier University and the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro City. It is now a tertiary 4th level teaching and training hospital.
Founded in 1955 by Rodolfo Neri Pelaez and his wife Elsa Pelaez, Liceo de Cagayan first offered courses in engineering, commerce, liberal arts, and law. It later opened its doors to basic education and high school students. Liceo de Cagayan became a university in 1998 after it received its University/Level III status. Over the years, the university has established itself as the leading institution especially in the Arts, Nursing, Accountancy, and Radiologic Technology courses.
FICCO first opened its doors in 1954 as the Ateneo Credit Union, a small credit union within Ateneo de Cagayan. With only 17 incorporators, most were faculty and personnel of the school, the union's growth was laborious slow until 1970 when it started to accept membership from the CdeO community at large. This move paid off when membership and resources increased. This example of extraordinary growth revolutionized the cooperative movement in the entire island of Mindanao. Then known as the Ateneo Cooperative Credit Union, it changed its name in 1975 to First Community Cooperative. FICCO is now an established community-type cooperative with a solid reputation, being the largest in the country.
"This is Cagayan de Oro calling..." were the first words that broke the airwaves coming from the city. This was in 1949 when Don Henry R. Canoy and his friends, Robin Cui and Vicente Rivera, made history with their pirate radio station. Establishing a legitimate operation thereafter, DXCC officially started broadcasting on August 28, 1952 which incidentally was also the fiesta of the city. The success of DXCC allowed it to expand to the different parts of the country, creating community radio stations along the way until it became Radio Mindanao Network. With almost 60 AM and FM radio stations, RMN is the largest radio network in the country.
CEPALCO has been providing electricity to the citizens of Cagayan de Oro City since January of 1952 when it started operations, servicing 750 customers. Shortly after obtaining legislative franchise to serve the whole of CdeO in 1962, the company's license was expanded to include the municipalities of Tagoloan, Villanueva, and Jasaan. It pioneered the use of 34.5 kV when this voltage was used for the 40 kilometer primary distribution line that spanned the distance between Jasaan and the NPC Substation in Carmen. The backbone of its distribution system, this primary distribution line was constructed in 1967. Since then, the company has launched several massive expansion projects and has continuously been providing electricity to CdeO and its neighboring towns. Cepalco is the third largest electric service company in the country.
Established in October of 1947, the Parent-Teacher College, COC-PHINMA, as it was known then, admitted not only the youth wanting to earn college degrees but also working folks who desired further education. Aside from day and night elementary and high school classes held in a two-story building found in Apolinar Velez and Claro Recto streets, other courses offered by the school included Commerce, Education, and Liberal Arts. In 1955, it transferred to a 1.3-hectare location in Carmen. PTC became what is now known as Cagayan de Oro College in 1967. And finally, in 2005, it joined the PHINMA Education Network. Throughout the years, the institution has contributed greatly to the education of the people of Cagayan de Oro and has established a solid Criminology program.
Ateneo de Cagayan started out as a small high school for boys with only 17 students and was founded by Archbishop Hayes in 1933. By the onset of WWII, the school had a total of 614 students in elementary, high school, and three undergraduate courses, Liberal Arts, Education and Commerce. When the war ended, Fr. Edward Haggerty SJ, the Rector of the Ateneo de Cagayan at that time, saw to the immediate reconstruction of the school which reopened in 1946. When the school was granted university status in 1958, it was thereafter called Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan. The university became the first Mindanao and the first Jesuit university in the country. It currently has four campuses and accepts students from grade school all the way to graduate school, offering both Law and Medicine.
What started out as a trading store in 1927 grew to what we now know as Lim Ket Kai Sons, Inc. Founded by Lim Ket Kai, the trading store expanded into milling and exporting copra, rice, and corn. By 1966, it was incorporated as Lim Ket Kai Sons Milling, Inc. and has been a dedicated food supplier not only in the region but the entire country. Utilizing agricultural products of our rural areas, the company has produced quality products such as the Marca Leon brand. The company ventured into real estate and commercial development in 1980 and, in 1992, opened lim Ket Kai Center. Since then, it has diversified into other businesses such as the Lim Ket Kai Resort and Hotel Corporation, and is now also known as the Lim Ket Kai Sons, Inc.
Operations of Del Monte Philippines, Inc., then Philippine Packing Corporation, started in 1926 when the first commercial plant was opened in Bugo, Cagayan de Oro. With a processing capacity of 700,000 ton, it is the world's largest fully-integrated plant that processes pineapples coming from a 23,000 hectare plantation in Bukidnon.
Today, Del Monte Philippines, Inc. manufactures one tenth of the world's yearly production of processed pineapple products and employs a large fraction of the area's workforce. The company sells more than 100 processed food and beverages including tomato-based products, condiments, and pastas.

Q: Taking audio input from microphone in browser and extracting features What would be the best library-programming language to capture raw audio input from microphone in the browser and then be able to extract features from it?
I am aware that I can use getUserMedia() in JavaScript to capture audio, but can it working with that audio easy using JavaScript or I should look in a different direction?

A: Yes, there is!
The easiest one to use is Microphone.js

USAGETo instantiate the main Microphone object, use the create function:

require(['microphone'], function(microphone){
 var Microphone = microphone.create();
 });

To activate voice processing, use the on function:
  Microphone.on();
  The primary usage of microphone.js is through the addCommand function. This takes two main arguments: patterns, which is assumed to be an array of regular expressions, and the callback, which is the code that will be run if any of the patterns specified match the voice input:

Microphone.addCommand({
    patterns: [new RegExp('dog', 'i')],
    callback: function() {
      alert("no, cats!");
    }
});

The callback also receives two arguments: the current Microphone instance, allowing the user to inspect the currentTranscript and other relevant information; and the matched CommandString, which exposes the matched string, and the args, which is an array of the words following the matched string. This allows you to do things like:

Microphone.addCommand({
    patterns: [new RegExp("display", "i")],
    callback: function(mic, command) {
      $("#" + command.args[0]).show();
    }
});

Thus, if you said "display foo", the DOM element with an id of foo would be shown (presuming you are using jQuery, of course).

There is also the Web Speech API, which is more complex but also has more features.
The getUserMedia() method is still the best way to do this, in my opinion, feel free to choose!

The Story Behind Ukraine's "Tunnel of Love"
Kaushik Patowary Apr 28, 2016 0 comments
Back in 2011, Amusing Planet posted pictures of a mysterious green tunnel of trees covering a section of railway tracks in Ukraine, known as "Tunnel of Love". At that time, the internet was not aware of its existence and there was absolutely no information of this place save for its vague location near a city called Klevan. I asked my readers if they knew about the place, and a few chipped in with bits of information. In the last few years, as these pictures became more and more popular on social media and other websites, additional information began to surface. Recently, RFE/RL's journalist and photographer Amos Chapple visited the site and came back with a more authentic story.
The "Tunnel of Love" is located between Klevan and the village of Orzhiv on the Kovel-Rivne line, a distance of seven kilometers. Near Orzhiv, the line splits into two. One leads to Klevan and the other leads to a secret military base, from the Cold War era, hidden in the forest. Back in those days, the trees were deliberately planted alongside the track to conceal the transport of military hardware. The military base is possibly still in use because Google maps shows large numbers of military vehicles on the base.
The "Tunnel of Love" is kept neatly trimmed, not by of the movement of the military, but by industrial freight trains operated by the Odek plywood factory, in the village of Orzhiv. Birch trees from across Ukraine are trucked in to the factory where they are turned into plywood panels. Finished plywood panels are loaded onto large containers and hauled by trains to the Klevan railway junction. From Klevan they are taken along the main trunk line to markets across West Europe.
The Odek factory trains run to Klevan through the "Tunnel of Love" several times a day, depending on how much plywood there is to transport. The "tunnel" starts after a few hundred meters from the factory. Chapple doesn't mention for how long the tunnel extends, but according to the English Wikipedia it is three kilometer long, while the Russian Wikipedia says it's four kilometers.
Apparently, the "tunnel" is hugely popular in Ukraine. Couples and newly weds often have photo-shoots here. Sometimes the tourists are a problem for the train operators and they have to keep a sharp eye on the track. Last year, a 38-year-old Japanese woman was struck by the train, fracturing her hip, but it was an isolated incident.
The tunnel has no official protection nor any guardian, but a few years ago the factory cut down several trees to aid passage of the train and there was a huge outcry. The factory hasn't touched a tree since then.

These are the containers the plywood is loaded onto.
The line on the left runs to the military base. The line on the right leads to Klevan.

A Pennsylvania college student has been arrested for secretly recording women going to the bathroom in three different states.
The district attorney claimed Joshua Yannuzzi, a 24-year-old theater major at West Chester University in eastern Pennsylvania, taped his iPhone inside bathrooms to record them in various states of undress, reported Lancaster Online.
Yannuzzi allegedly didn't limit his misdeeds to one location. At least eight different sites — in three states — have been listed as spots where he recorded women. They include theaters in Berywn and Reading, Pa.; the university's E.O. Bull Center; a Rising Sun, Md., theater; and various residences in Rehoboth Beach, Del., according to investigators.
Prosecutors claim he made more than 50 recordings during the last two years. He also reportedly posted one video online that was viewed more than 1,000 times.
The suspect faces more than 100 charges, including multiple counts of invasion of privacy, felony wiretap violations and criminal use of a communication facility.
Officials claim Yannuzzi, a frequent performer in live shows, targeted women he knew though their performances.
Cops became involved when a young woman discovered an iPhone pointing toward a toilet in a single-person bathroom on campus. Police discovered Yannuzzi outside the facility after giving the phone to them.

Toys are fun
Famosa Toys is one of the biggest toymakers in the world, manufacturing 14 brands with different product lines. From classical dolls to modern motorized toys, the spanish group wants to evolve constantly and innovate everyday.
In 1957, Fábricas Agrupadas de Muñecas de Onil, S.A. (FAMOSA) was born from the alliance of a number of toymakers in Toy Valley (Alicante, Spain). The group formed in order to remain competitive in the market due to difficulty finding funding, changing technologies, and the emergence of plastic toys.
More than 50 years later it continues to be Spain's premiere toy manufacturer, leading the industry in Spain and Portugal and firmly established in more than 50 countries, including France, Italy, Mexico and the United States.
From the first Guendolina doll to today's battery powered Feber vehicles for toddlers, Famosa encompasses a wide range of products, dedicated to spur children's imagination all around the world.
Famosa has developed some of the most famous toys in southern Europe: Nenuco, Barriguitas, Pin Y Pon or Nancy are part of childhood memories since the 1960's.
Though Famosa Group is made of traditional toy companies with world-renowned brands and products, these are kept fresh and modern through constant innovation. New ideas and concepts are united with Famosa's business philosophy, making Safety and Quality a must.
Safety is crucial at Famosa in two ways: firstly, children's products meet and often exceed all safety requirements and, secondly, the company has established safety as a priority in all its daily activities. In order to achieve its goal of zero work place accidents, Famosa and its brands strive for safety in every daily activity. At Famosa meeting safety standards is a condition for employment, and promoting a culture of safety is everybody's obligation.
Famosa and its brands base its activities and competitiveness on quality. When creating products they use the highest quality processes and materials and maintain strict quality control, from the begining until the end of the production process.

← Want to join in the 'big time' of life and society? There's just one thing to know.
What did I used to do in summer as a kid?
I have no idea. Literally no idea. I have one or two fleeting memories—images, more like it.
There is a room with a north-facing window that overflows with sunlight that somehow fails to remedy darkness. There is a cedar fence. Green grass lies beyond. There are some waterslides. There is a picnic table in a canyon somewhere. I don't know. Not much more than that.
The summers of childhood are a blank to me. I don't have any "fond memories" of them. I don't have any memories of them at all.
I have a feeling that all of my childhood summers passed as this one has—rapidly and imperceptibly. I have no idea what I did this summer, either. But it's over nonetheless.
I've been in a bipolar emotional state about fall the last few days. I veer wildly between a deep distaste for the reality of fall's arrival—not usual for me—and a kind of intensely sweet romantic sickness that's bound to be let down by the banality of the actual days but that's pleasurable nonetheless—usual for me at this time of year.
The fact that there are moments when I'm not okay with fall's arrival this time around has something to do with the fact that I don't know what happened over the summer. It's vertigo, in a way—the vertigo of a disjunction in time. Time is meant to be continuous and oriented, like a bezier curve, not discontinuous and dispersed like a scatter plat of random data.
Summer is meant to be distinctly summery so that fall can be distinctly autumnal, and in the difference between the two lies the order of the universe.
When both appear the same in some way, there is trouble afoot. The sun is meant to set in one direction, not all of them. All of them is more symmetrical, yes, as are an indistinct summer and an indistinct fall, but symmetry is a warning against life.
Maybe I'll come back to that.
Meanwhile, I've had writers block for a month now. Note the lack of posts. There are at least eight or nine posts typed out here in Byword that never went online because—frankly—they were crap.
They were me doing my damnedest to "write something" because I felt as though I wanted and needed to do so—but not as though I wanted and needed to write anything in particular, which is sort of how it has to go if the words are going to be worth the time spent typing them out.
People say "writer's block" as though it's this objective thing—like a Great Wall of China in your mind erected by far-fetched emperors of consciousness that are somehow distant from the life you've been living until you, the cognitive tourist, suddenly arrive at the wall in the midst of a the mental tour of foreign lands that writing is meant to be, etc.
Writer's block is repression. Let's not beat about the bush. Writer's block is what happens when you don't want to and won't and can't face the things that you're thinking—that you would be thinking consciously if only you could dare to be aware, but that instead you're thinking subconsciously with enough determination to cause the little homunculus of the self to rise up and begin to beat it back with swollen hands.
You get writer's block when you don't want to be where you've already gone, in one way or another, physical or otherwise. So you shut yourself up in the dark closet of unmarked imaginative vacancy and keep the truth outside at bay. Whilst inside, you can't even come up with words that you know you're looking for. You have to consult a thesaurus because your inner homely librarian, anachronistic polyester-clad bureaucrat that they are, won't let you have any words unless you sneak them out. It's like the underground railroad for vocabulary.
Only even when the words escape, they're too busy fleeing for their lives and adopting new identities to come together in collective effervescence.
In any case, I've always had a deep distaste for symmetry.
Other people see a ceramic-potted houseplant on one edge of the table and they go out of their way to move it to the center. I'm the opposite—when I walk past the table and see something in its center, I have to move that something off to one side.
People have asked why I only have a tattoo on one arm. Don't I want a tattoo on the other arm so that I "feel balanced" or something?
I have the deep suspicion that there is an affinity between symmetry at scale and entropy—that true randomness is most likely to have a fairly even probability distribution is most likely to begin against all odds to have a kind of transcendental symmetry.
It's strong asymmetry that actually represents order, the investment of energy into the universe. For everything to be on one side of the table or the other—that required effort. That's unlikely. That's life, rather than thermodynamic death.
Asymmetry is full of vitality and dynamics. Asymmetry is potential energy—negative pole and positive pole, mountain and valley. Symmetry is static and dead. A sine wave, perfectly symmetrical, is just a droning tone—which our brains have been taught by evolution to filter out, as it is informationally equivalent to silence.
Information—which is also potential—which is also life—which is also being—is not carried by sine waves. It is carried by modulation.
Symmetry is just-so. Asymmetry is evidence of will. It demands a reckoning. It brings with it the insult and the joy of the presence of another who has taken the liberty of unbalancing the world, as we all do by our very presence.
I wrote this post backward.
I've realized that I often do that these days, when it works. I start with something. Then, I move to the top of the paragraph and type another paragraph just above it. Then, I move above that one and type another paragraph just above it.
This happens continuously until at some point I realize that I'm done and then I pop down to the end (i.e. this bit that you're reading now) and type out one last section that somehow ties it all together.
This is the sort of thing that used to drive my ex-wife nuts. All of this, actually.
Desiring asymmetry and being bothered by symmetry.
Doing essay writing mostly backward, but not even backward, because after the backward I stop and return to forward, but only for one section.
Thinking that there's some relationship between thermodynamics, potted plants, memories of summer, and writer's block.
It's why we could never get along, and why we probably wouldn't get along still if we had to be in close quarters. She lives her life intentionally centering the plants on the table and writing things from the beginning straight through to the end. Then I come by and slide the plant to a corner of the table and return to writing by putting my finger somewhere in the middle of a random page, or by completing the ending so that I know what the beginning might be so that I can complete the ending all over again.
It's all nonsense, I know. But at least it's unbalanced nonsense. That's something, at least.

"Yukoner with faith - and a big stake - in the future of Canada's next province."
Whitehorse businessman, Rolf Hougen, is one of those men who has his fingers in so many pies he's almost running out of fingers. At last count, Hougen is involved in nine Yukon businesses and he's continually branching out into other, newer, fields that not only add to his growing dynasty but which make him a fair amount of money to boot. He's also a director of Alberta power as well as holding a number of other Yukon and national titles. For example, he has held executive positions with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce; served 10 years on the executive of the national Progressive Conservative Party; been a founder and director of Heritage Yukon, an affiliate of Heritage Canada; and is one of the leading promoters of the proposed University of Canada North.


When did "edge" become a position?
Until like a few hours ago, there were 4-3 defensive ends and 3-4 outside linebackers who were the primary pass rushers. And they weren't interchangeable - 4-3 DEs were generally bigger and 3-4 OLBs were generally lighter and more athletic.
Are these two positions now generally seen as the same, manned by players with the same skillsets?
seems like a nice trendy way of saying outside. They generally mean weakside (whether DE or OLB) but not always.
What does the number in "___ technique" signify?
Some guys are better 34 OLB fits and some project better to 43 DE.
But it is useful to group them together when discussing free agency as guys that can rush the QB (from OLB or DE) will get paid a premium.
Thanks - so it more or less refers to the gaps covered by the DL - never realized that. I always foolishly assumed that a "five technique" did five things really well, like a five-tool player in baseball.
Many people here have been saying for years that the 4-3 vs 3-4 debate is dumb because teams run multiple fronts so players are interchangeable. Edge Rusher started to become popular with James Harrison, Terrell Suggs, Von Miller. Guys whose teams had a "BASE" 3-4 but these guys could put their hand in the dirt.
Defenses changed. There is less of a distinction between 3-4 and 4-3, most teams are running some sort of hybrid. Edge is a cleaner way of describing an outside pass rusher without getting overly wordy.
and what their responsibilities are. For example, a 0/1 technique is primarily a space eater like Snacks whose primary role is to occupy blockers. Whereas a 3T DT is more of a penetrator.
I believe after the Snacks trade, DG stated that they view Tomlinson in the 0/1T role and Hill as a 3T penetrating DT, which he did fairly well as evidenced by his 5.5 sacks.
I view the increased usage of the term "edge rusher" as coinciding with more people being familiar with the salary cap and free agency in general. Comparing Suggs or Von Miller to other elite LBs (e.g. Keuchly) makes less sense than comparing them to other elite pass rushers who happen to play most of their snaps with their hand in the dirt (e.g Watt, Lawrence, etc). Salary wise their are pass rushers and then there are other LBs/DL.
In comment 14356302 Thanks - so it more or less refers to the gaps covered by the DL - never realized that. I always foolishly assumed that a "five technique" did five things really well, like a five-tool player in baseball.
LOL! Yeah, I had never heard 0 technique until I read that PFF piece. It now makes sense.
If you are running a one gap style 3/4, then one way you do that is run blitz interior gaps using lbs. Or a variation on that, switch up assignments between an lb and the rush DT from down to down.
And therefore you need a couple of not too weak, not too skinny lbs.
And, being a pass happy league, one needs a few lbs that can defend pass.
That's why I talk about it as a 5-0-6.
Aaand, the 2 stout lbs....not only from the 'edge'...it's -any- gap.
Ha. I was thinking the same thing. I think the first person I saw usually it regularly was actually Sy'56. But now it seems to be everywhere.
It is a fancy way of telling your player what shade or gap to play.
Teams are in Nickel more than half the time so teams are almost always in some form of 4-2-5 alignment.. if those "4" pass rushers are LB's are DE's doesnt matter.
in a 4/3 defense versus a 3/4 defense. ?
For example. In a 3/4 DE, some may ask the player to square up on an OT, cover with gaps, and allow the LBs to react clean.
OR ...your 3/4 DE could be asked to line up directly IN the (b?) Gap, possibly with a LB lined right up in the next gap over, or a nose tackle doing double duty for one play to accommodate that.
So it's both a very different 3/4 DE and also a different LB skill set...or alignment visa vis I side and out.
In all of the discussions on this site last year over switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4, I never saw anyone refer to Vernon or JPP as "edge" players. They were 4-3 DEs, and the question was whether they had the skillsets to play 3-4 OLB. I've only perceived this "edge" position to have started in the last few months.
For instance, I've only ever seen Josh Allen of Kentucky referred to as "edge." So does that mean that whether a team runs a 4-3 or 3-4, it doesn't matter, and he'll rush the passer from whatever defense is being run?
Or have defenses evolved so drastically over the past 12-18 months that the 3-4/4-3 distinction is now gone?
for a long time. But "edge" or "ER" only seemed to appear used widely about 2 years ago. But that's just me.
or teams have been drafting college OLBs and DEs and depending on scheme changed their positions so much in the last few years that they just refer to them as "Edge Rushers"
As meaning a guy is athletic enough that he can play both 4-3 DE or Stand up 3-4 OLB.
I�ve seen some guys are listed as pure DEs or OLBs. Nick Bosa and Clelin Ferrell are mostly listed as DEs. Josh Allen and Jachai Polite I�ve seen listed as a pure 3-4 OLB. Guys like Sweat and Burns I�ve seen listed as EDGE.
I made the same comment on a different thread a few weeks ago. I don't like the term "edge" defender. It's basically just a repackaged term for the old late 90s term of "tweener" or the previous term of DE/OLB. The apparent difference mainly being that back in the late 90s and early 2000s 3-4 defenses were not en vogue the same way they were in the 80s and early 90s, so 3-4 pass rushing OLBs were not considered to fit a particular position in the 4-3 very well, hence the term "tweeners". In the last few years, with a slightly expanded number of teams using the 3-4 and, perhaps more importantly, the great expansion of nickel and dime packages, these so-called "tweeners" became more valuable as pass rushers and even against defenders who might help set the edge in run defense against more spread offenses.
But at the end of the day, they're pretty much the same thing as a "tweener" or a DE/OLB.
Agree. I think it really began at least before last year's draft. I don't recall the term being used in the 2017 draft, but it could have been.
Hence the distinction. Not really that hard.
You can be a SAM kind of linebacker with limited pass rushing skills, or a WIL, who is good in coverage with limited pass rushing skills. In both cases, you would be an OLB.
An EDGE guy means you get to the QB. That's the difference.
When Mike Mayock made it one. Duh.
This pretty much explains it.
-Larger LB size (240 -265 lbs) who will put his hand in the dirt at line of scrimmage.
- has exceptional burst to provide relentless pursuit from the edge (wide, inside, or bullrush OT) with not much stunting.
- provide a little run support on the edge and short flat pass coverage.
I agree with Paulie that the term was first used to describe how the Giants utilized Lawrence Taylor. Fortunately for us he also happened to be incredibly stout against the run, extended his pursuit to the other side of the field to make tackles at the line of scrimmage, and could drop back 5-15 yds in pass coverage.
For today's game, Vonn Miller is your proto-type.

'Knowledge is the basis to believe in anything, hence Gravite's commitment to the accelerator'
Jesús Lens, Director of Gravite Festival
Jesús Lens is communicator, cultural manager and Codirector of multicultural festivals Gravite and Granada Noir. Having worked in the legal sector and corporate communication, Jesús Lens currently works independently, writing columns in the IDEAL local newspaper since 1997 and as a regular collaborator to different media. Jesús Lens has published books on cinema and travelling. This interview addresses the role of IFMIF-DONES in the creation of the Gravite Festival, the focus of which is time travelling.
-Since its first edition, Gravite Festival has shown great interest in the IFMIF-DONES particle accelerator, the focus of the opening ceremony of the third edition and one of the topics in the first edition. What is your opinion about the project and its impact in Granada?
-I think it is a project that will define Granada's future. It is probably the topic about which I have written the most in my column in IDEAL during the past year. Together with the Health Sciences Technology Park and Artificial Intelligence boosted by the University of Granada, it should lead the transition of the province towards an economy less dependent on tourism and hotel industry. IFMIF-DONES is science, research, innovation, which are essential in the 21st century. I once wrote about Granada aspiring to become the European 'Neutron Valley', inspired by Eduardo Ros, Full Professor at the Department of Computer Architecture and Technology of the University of Granada, who said that the richness of Granada is its knowledge, grey matter, talent, and intelligence.
-Gravite is a multidisciplinary festival, with time travelling as the focus, and with a place for science, literature, cinema, magic… How did you come up with such an idea for an event?
-The IFMIF-DONES project caught my attention as well as Gustavo Gomez's. Granada is a marvellous city in which many civilisations have left their mark. As an Andalusian province, it is a bridge between Africa, Europe, and America. For this reason, it simulates a time machine allowing us to travel to prehistoric times, to Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, and to Iberian, Roman and of course Arab civilisations. Since 1492 all schools of thought and art have made their mark.
Recently, Granada also looks at its future and allows us to dream. Granada is a city of science thanks to the Science Park, the Health Sciences Technology Park, and the scientific disciplines at which the University of Granada excels, namely Artificial Intelligence and the department led by Francisco Herrera. The Instituto Astrofísica Andalucía, the cutting-edge architectural design of buildings such as CaixaBank and the Cultural Center of CajaGranada Foundation are other examples. And then, the IFMIF-DONES Project emerges, with everybody on board and committed. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity!
-Your interest in time travelling is widely known, which becomes evident at the Gravite Festival. Where does this passion come from?
-It might be because I am getting older. The first time I was aware of time was with Comet Halley's visit in 1986. The news informed that it would not pass by again until 2061. I then realised that if everything went well, I would be 91 years old by then. What would I be like? And my family and friends? What about the world? Would there still be whales, a topic which was of my concern at the time?
I have always been an ambitious person. I wanted to be everywhere and in different places at the same time. Time passed too quickly. Being in control of my time has always been my greatest desire. And from there to time travelling there is only a small step. Although my admired professor Juan Varo states that it is not a good plot for current science fiction, it still fascinates me.
Time travelling is also very related to rectifying, growing, and maturing. We have all wanted a second chance, going back to the past and doing things differently. We also have the multiverses. Who has not ever wanted to be someone else? Who has not fantasied about how their lives would be if they had made different decisions? Thinking about different 'us', although it might sound self-centred, is also time travelling. Especially because it allows us to dream about where we want to be in the future and with experience do what is in our hands to reach that future. Even the impossible.
-IFMIF-DONES is generally related to science, energy, engineering, or economy. Do you think this project is unconnected to careers in humanities and arts?
Not at all. In fact, this is my case. One of the happiest days of my life was when I passed Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in high school and said goodbye to them for ever. The following year I had History of Art, Greek, Philosophy and Latin. Science-related subjects were part of my past, and I was happy with this, or so I thought!
A few years later I found myself working for a financial entity and calculating compound interests of loans. And now, I attend conferences in which I try to understand what neutrons are or, as it is the case of many peers, I do crash courses on bacteriology, immunology, and virology.
Comic books such as Sentient, by Jeff Lemire and drawn by Gabriel Hernández Walta, or Multiversos musicales, by the musician Antonio Arias, show that science, humanities, and arts are interrelated.
Gravite emphasizes the importance of this third culture that builds bridges between humanities and science, as defined by John Brockman.
I would like to highlight the importance of mass media when publishing news and scientific information, which should be done in plain language, accessible for the general public. It is everybody's duty to inform about the IFMIF-DOENS project in Granada. Its potential should be explained and understood. Knowledge is the basis to love and believe in anything; hence Gravite's commitment, thanks to the support by CaixaBank and CajaGranada Foundation.

South Carolina officials have decided not to rise to demands from state Democrats to prosecute U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman over an event where he displayed his handgun.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and the State Law Enforcement Division have announced they will not seek charges against Norman, a Republican who found himself under scrutiny from gun control advocates and local Dems after a meeting with constituents where the lawmaker produced his revolver and set it on the table. Wilson's office, working with SLED, said that in evaluating the statements of the event, they couldn't find a crime worth pursuing.
Since then, Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts has used the incident to direct donations to Democrat Archie Parnell, a former Goldman Sachs attorney running for Norman's seat in the House this November.

A Study On The Effects Of Ground Via Fences, Embedded Patterned Layer, And Metal Surface Roughness On Conductor Backed Coplanar Waveguide

Coplanar waveguide
Melde, Kathleen L.
Electrical engineers have responded to the increasing demand for circuit speed and functionality by reducing transistor feature size and increasing on-chip transistor density. Consequently, interconnect density, both on-chip and the system level is also increasing. Increasing circuit speed translates into shorter clock cycles and signals with faster edge rates, which have multi-GHz bandwidth. Densely packed parallel interconnects will cause signal integrity problems not only due to the increase in crosstalk noise but also due to the intrinsic low pass filter characteristics of the interconnects. The lossy nature of the interconnects is also going to increase due to metal surface roughness at higher frequencies, which will further degrade the signal quality at the receiver input. Embedded Patterned Layer (EPL), which is a patterned floating metal layer between a signal trace and its return path shows promise in reducing far-end crosstalk (FEXT). EPL also allows designers to modify the characteristic impedance of interconnects by varying the different physical parameters of the EPL. This dissertation analyzes the effect of EPL on conductor backed coplanar waveguides (CB-CPW). CB-CPWs excite higher order modes at high frequencies, so work was done to understand the effect of different ground via fence parameters in suppressing the higher modes which helps increase the interconnect bandwidth. A CB-CPW with ground via fence is called a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW). A very basic lumped element model transmission line model was developed to account for the effect of floating metals near a transmission line. This model was then used to explain the effect of EPL on a GCPW with large bandwidth. EPL reduces the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Engineers can then design narrow high impedance transmission lines and use EPL to reduce the impedance to a desired value. This also allows reduction in crosstalk by increasing the spacing between the transmission lines. The EPL also reduced the differential impedance of a grounded conductor backed edge coupled coplanar waveguide, when it was used for differential signaling. Care must be taken to make sure that the EPL is symmetric to both the legs of the differential pair to avoid differential to common mode energy conversion, which can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. EPL reduced FEXT while increasing near-end crosstalk (NEXT), when the coupled transmission line system was used for single ended signaling. Finally, a statistical method for modeling transmission line metal surface roughness in three dimensional (3D) full wave electromagnetic solvers was developed to account for increased attenuation in transmission lines, at high frequencies, due to metal surface roughness.

Give the two generations names that you feel reflects their experience. Explain why you chose that name.
Watch the documentary available online here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVG2cX107KA The video may continue automatically for the entire series, but you only need to watch episode 1, which is one hour and eleven minutes long. Answer the questions below in a Word document. Each answer should be about a full page (double-spaced, one inch margins, Times New Roman 12 point font) of insightful commentary–just because you write a page does not automatically mean you get an A). If you fail to meet the length requirements, you will get a zero. Seriously. 1. Discuss two examples of violence on the part of the Pilgrims that were featured in the documentary. Was the violence justified? Why do you think Pilgrims are popularly remembered only for the first Thanksgiving, and not their full and actual history? 2. In modern American, we like to make a big deal of about the unique generational experiences of each individual generation. For example, Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Boomers are considered to be shaped by very different events and social changes. Looking at the time period and people examined in the documentary, identify TWO different "generations" that you see. You can group Europeans and Native Americans differently or put them in the same generation, its up to you. Then, do the following: a. Give the two generations names that you feel reflects their experience. Explain why you chose that name. For example "Baby Boomers," got their name because they were all born in the population boom after WWII. Events in the documentary may help you give the generations you identify their names. b. Next, define at least TWO distinct events that shaped EACH generation, in your view. c. Finally, define at least TWO skills or values EACH generation has. 3. Jill Lapore and Colin G. Calloway are two historians who were interviewed in the documentary. Do a Google search of one them, and maybe check Amazon too. Go a little deep on this, as the documentary is almost a decade old. Not all talking heads on TV are equally qualified. What makes a historian qualified to speak in a documentary like this? Is the historian you chose qualified to speak in this documentary? Why or why not?


Although we've tried our hardest to make the Apama Event Processing Language (EPL) familiar and easy to get into, there will always be some room for error. In this blog, we will explore some of the common 'gotchas' that often vex EPL newcomers, hopefully making the introductory experience as pleasant as possible.
Compared to the actual output which looks more like '1, 1, 1, 1, 1…'. Why is this?
When listeners are created, they capture the value of any local variables from the action, unless the variables are reference types in which case they take a reference. In the above example, i is copied by value to a new i variable contained only with the listener. When the listener cycles (ie is completed by the condition and recreated by the all), the contained variables are recreated with their initial values. It's important to remember that the listener action is more like a definition of a callback rather than a block which executes in flow with the rest of the surrounding code.
To create a counter of this sort, we need to instead wrap our integer in some kind of reference type, such as an event, sequence or member on the monitor. This does mean that multiple listeners capturing the same reference are in fact reading/writing the same object.
So we could create a kind of leak by creating a listener which in practice will never complete but really should. For example, a listener which should process all events of a certain type until a 'stop' condition, but the 'stop' condition is never resolved for whatever reason (bugs, poor design, etc.).
// we have lost our handle to listener 1!
// a leak occurs when the prices variable goes out of scope.
To avoid this, always ensure to terminate streams once you are finished with them, and avoid creating streams you do not intend to use immediately.
So we perform some expensive task on every event. However, due to the do_work() action being called in the same context as our listener, it will block our listener from firing again until it has completed! Additionally, a garbage collection check is only triggered upon a context being de-scheduled (either completing it's work or swapped out for another context to run). Thus, tight loops such as the above can quickly build up memory usage as they block garbage collection from occurring, which can lead to OOM errors in an otherwise stable application.
We hope that this resolves some of the more common stumbling points when first developing with EPL. If there's anything you feel we have missed or have a burning EPL pain point, why not post to Stack Overflow using the new Apama tag?

Two Targeted Therapies Developed for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
News Nov 13, 2020 | Original story from Purdue University

A new treatment option for lung fibrosis is being developed by Purdue University scientists. Lung fibrosis has been a concern for COVID-19 patients.
People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have a life expectancy of less than five years. Fibrotic diseases cause organ failure that lead to about 45% of all deaths in the United States. Existing therapies do little to slow progression.
Now, Philip S. Low, the Purdue Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Presidential Scholar for Drug Discovery, has led a team to develop two targeted therapies for people with IPF. The two different therapeutic approaches are published in Science Translational Medicine and EMBO Molecular Medicine.
"This is a horrible disease that claimed the lives of my next-door neighbor and a good friend's wife," Low said. "We developed two targeted therapies that allow us to use powerful drugs with high toxicities because we specifically deliver them to diseased cells without harming healthy ones."
The first of the Purdue team's novel targeted molecules is designed to slow fibrosis and extend life. The second IPF therapy suppresses fibrosis-inducing cytokine production.
The two therapies will be moving into human clinical trials within the next several months. The developments come as a number of people with COVID-19 or who have recovered from COVID-19 experience lung fibrosis or other related conditions.

Test Can Quickly Identify Pneumonia in Patients With Severe COVID-19
A rare form of lymphoma called Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), currently has no known cure and only one FDA-approved treatment. Researchers have now targeted specific cell proteins that control DNA information using inhibitors, that were effective in reducing the growth of the cancer cells. When combined with a third drug the combination was even more successful at killing the WM cancer cells.

3 moves that should still be on Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen's agenda as offseason winds down
The time has come for more trades
The Mets have made some notable additions this offseason and should be better off for them. But while their ceiling is high, it's hard to put them on the same level as the Braves and Nationals. It's also hard to believe that they're done making moves.
Brodie Van Wagenen made a very necessary (if still a bit risky) bullpen addition by signing Dellin Betances. Rick Porcello has also been added to the starting rotation. By also adding Michael Wacha, the Mets have six starting pitchers for five spots -- a good problem to have. The only move of note on the offensive side of things was trading for Jake Marisnick, whose addition was more about his defense in center field than anything.
With just over a month to go until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in Port St. Lucie, the Mets' payroll for luxury tax purposes is roughly $195 million. When you factor in the additional money Yoenis Cespedes will receive if he is on the Opening Day roster or on the IL for a reason other than his ankle, that number rises to about $200 million -- $8 million shy of the luxury tax threshold.

The Mets, coming off their first winning season since 2016, have the makings of a team that should contend again in 2020, though that won't be easy to do in the fiercely competitve NL East.
To that end, they need to add more between now and the end of the offseason. And finding legitimate bullpen help is chief among the Mets' needs.
Still, it's likely that much of the 26-man Opening Day roster for 2020 is already in place. Factoring in the players already on the roster and what could happen between now and when things get going at Citi Field on March 26, here is our way too early 26-man roster prediction...

When pitcher Noah Syndergaard takes the mound on Wednesday for the Mets during their series against the Colorado Rockies, Rene Rivera will reportedly catch for the righty, not Wilson Ramos.
According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the Mets will make that lineup change behind the plate.
SNY's Andy Martino confirmed a report from The Post on Sept. 9 that Syndergaard had previously voiced his frustrations with the Mets' brass in regard to him having to pitch to Ramos.

Mets now 4.0 GB of wild card after loss to Dodgers Sunday
The Mets (77-72, 15.0 GB in NL East, 4.0 GB for second Wild Card) start a three-game series from Coors Field in Denver against the Colorado Rockies (65-85) Monday at 8:40 p.m. on SNY.
Mets Notes
The Mets fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday night, 3-2, after Seth Lugo gave up an RBI single to Jedd Gyorko in the ninth inning. Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto combined to go 0 for 25 together in the three-game series. Despite going hitless in 20 consecutive at-bats, Alonso (47) still has a shot at breaking Aaron Judge's rookie home run record (52) by the end of the season.

Mets Minor League Report: Tomas Nido
By Toby Hyde | Sep 16, 2013 | 1:54PM
http://web.sny.tv/media/video.jsp?content_id=30660779
Nido, the Mets' 8th round pick in the 2012 draft, had a disappointing 2013 season for Brooklyn. The Mets went overslot to sign him to a $250,000 bonus a year ago. I had him as my #29 Mets prospect entering this year before he hit .185/.218/.261 in 125 PA over 33 games for Brooklyn in the New York Penn League. Playing as a 19-year-old, he drew just four walks in 33 games, just 3%. On the plus side, his strikeout rate of 16% was solid. He's got some pop, but needs to develop his approach, as he talks about in the attached video.
Defensively, opponents were 53-for-60 running against him in 28 games behind the plate, a success rate of 88%. At just under two stolen bases a game, that's a lot of costly bases.

Directions: From Boulder take Hwy 119, Boulder Canyon Drive (or Sugarloaf Road #122) west to the Peak-to-Peak Highway (72). Head North on the PtoP and turn left when you see the Colorado Mountain Research Station Sign (116 or FS 298). This is a good dirt road and leads to the Rainbow Lakes Campground.

Pay taxes with Bitcoin [BTC] and Bitcoin Cash [BCH] beginning this summer!
Cryptocurrencies may soon be used for daily transactions as many people across governments and private entities start adapting to the revolutionary new technology. BitPay announced a formal agreement with Florida's Seminole County Tax Collector, Joel M. Greenberg.
As a progressive move, Bitcoin [BTC] and Bitcoin cash [BCH] can now both be used for tax payments, beginning this summer. County residents can use cryptocurrency to pay for driver licenses, ID cards, and even property taxes.
Cryptocurrency isn't necessarily moral or immoral. It is an amoral technology, a tool. It can be used for terrorism, vacation getaways, housing, and, now, taxes. As governments are wont, they're usually immune from innovation. But when it comes to revenue collection they're surprisingly spry, alert, on it.
The processors take a heavy cut in paying taxes by credit or debit. The advent of cryptocurrency and the BitPay Visa does away with a great many previous frictions, making the expropriation experience win-win; enthusiasts don't have to do yet another conversion, and governments save in fees.
BitPay and Seminole County teamed to allow Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin for pretty much everything; car tags and titles, licenses, and property tax.
The money is directly paid in fiat to the account of the county tax collector by the following business day. The local government is spared notorious price volatility and the usual risk associated with cryptocurrency. BitPay in their press release insists that through a push transaction, the user sends the exact amount of bitcoin or bitcoin cash needed to pay the bill. This eliminates traditional credit card fraud and identity theft risks associated with credit cards.
The company's fees are also better than merely competitive, as 1% per approval is way below market rate. And for those wishing to pay their taxes, the processor can be accessed through traditional computers or smartphones.

Q: Help explaining concept of polynomial used in Binomial Theorem There is this question that asks to find the first 3 terms in the binomial expansion of $(x+\frac{1}{x^2})^6$. The question itself is easy, but someone asks me $x+\frac{1}{x^2}$ is not a polynomial by definition, but how come all textbooks use the word "find its binomial expansion"? How come in maths we use some defined terms wrongly?
How can I explain this?
The easiest escape is: as long as there are 2 terms, we consider it a binomial. I hope there are some better explanations than this.
Helps are greatly appreciated.

A: The term "binomial" is much older than "polynomial". The first dates back (at least) to Fibonacci in 1202, the other to Viete in 1591 (ed: after Stevins introduced "multinomial" in 1585, before that "universal (sum)" was used). In general, a binomial is just a group, usually a sum, of two terms. Thus the binomial theorems allow the expansion of powers of such sums. Which was extensively used to approximate roots, even long before this method was systematized as Newton's method by Simpson some years after 1700.

Near broke and worried, rural counties get creative
Updated: Sep. 01, 2011, 1:06 a.m. |
Published: Sep. 01, 2011, 12:06 a.m.
The Oregonian Editorial Board
View full sizeThis aerial view shows the marine headlands along Oregon's south coast that Curry County commissioners believe could accommodate two golf courses. Blacklock Point, a celebrated spot, is at the lower right. The land is currently maintained as Floras Lake State Natural Area.
Residents of
in Oregon's southwest corner have in the past month heard what only a few years ago would have been unthinkable: a proposal by their commissioners to convert seaside headlands into not one but two golf courses, replete with dining and clubhouse facilities and an upgraded airport.
Depending upon your point of view, the idea is somewhere between inspired and crazy. The land features a pygmy forest, sandstone cliffs, a network of hiking trails and the cherished Blacklock Point, the kind of rugged coastline that helps define Oregon. But is it perfect for those who can plunk down big money to golf in a spectacular, if groomed, setting -- or just right in its rough-hewn state?
Neither is the question. Curry County faces financial ruin.
To their credit, the county's commissioners are looking for a way out: a revenue stream, a way to create jobs, a way to add to the paltry tax base, a way to avert crisis.
"We'll go under in 18 months or less," Commissioner David Itzen says. "I don't know that we'll be the first domino to go over, but I suspect we will be."
The dominos he cites are Oregon's rural counties. All rely upon federal payments once tied to logging, collapsed by endangered species protections, and in the past several years a congressional relief act that underwrites communities once dependent upon logging. But the last U.S. checks -- they are but 40 percent of what they were in 2008 -- will land here this fall as the relief bill expires. And Curry County,
according to The Oregonian's Lori Tobias,
projects a 2012-2013 deficit of $363,000 that will become a $3 million hole just one year later.
Something needs to give. It's uncertain Congress will or can anymore. Efforts by Oregon representatives to create long-term reform of public lands management are just that -- long term. Efforts by Oregon senators for a short-term patch -- perhaps another relief extension, perhaps a provision included in some giant, must-pass omnibus bill -- have yet to find footing. Meanwhile Congress, like the Oregon Legislature, is starved for dollars.
That's of little help in Curry County, which charges one of Oregon's lowest property tax rates and where 60 percent of the land is under federal ownership or management. Once municipal, state and tax-deferred agricultural lands are counted in, Curry County derives its tax base mainly from 5 percent of its land.
But golf? It won't, even if undertaken and as successful as it is at the neighboring Bandon Dunes to the north, pay the freight.
It is, however, a worthy and provocative exploration in a time in which not only Curry but Klamath, Josephine, Coos and Lane counties -- to name a few -- all must find ways to stay above water enough to maintain basic services.
In 1980, Curry County had 18 sheriff's department road deputies; now there are six. In the coming years there could be none, though the county is legally required to maintain a jail. Officials in other counties this week also voiced the idea of asking the state to carry out, among other things, their restaurant inspections and public vaccination programs.
You could call this moment a shakeout or, as one official from the
Association of Oregon Counties
put it, "a Hail Mary." But as the natural-resource-rich counties that so define Oregon's celebrated character struggle to get by, all ideas must go on the table, fair and square, inspired or crazy.
It's not only about paying bills. It's about self-determination.

I'm very proud of the work put into the site and the content it reflects. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but most of our content is designed to stimulate ideas and success for our readers. I would hope you all can take a second to check it out and see what we're all about.

^^ I'd love to see the dividend payout list. I'm trying to put a portfolio together as well for the first time and kind of wanted to go that route as well.
Yea I've been re-reading my own posts within this thread... I had forgotten just how damn smart I really am sometimes.... But seriously... this thread has so much good info in it. Truly epic when you think how abysmal most trading forum threads end up.
I guess the thing i'm always interested in is the possibility that the "status quo" has changed in our markets. I mean, you look back historically and as thales pointed out with his charts, these DB's on the yearly charts lead to big rallies and the markets continue to rise rise rise... But as TheDude, I feel, rightly pointed out... the US is effectively bankrupt. And at no point during our history have we been in as much debt and had our country effectivly owned by other nations... So all those charts, based on all those fundamentals... are they even valid with the completly different situation we're facing now? Economically we are screwed and as of yet it hasn't really even been touched on by the mass media. When you look at what our country has done with its debt levels (and what it continues to do) I have to ask myself... are we in a completely different game these days? One thing is as sure as the sun rising tomorrow is this - sooner or later we will have to endure that pain and its gonna be the end all be all of pain. And I can't imagine ANY positive earning report, stimulus, or bernake B.S. can save us from the cold hard facts that the good times have possibly come and gone and the status quo has done a 180. Any thoughts?
I'd love to see more trade examples MMS. I've always heard that renko charts can be deceiving on how they are formed and that for backtesting purposes you can't really take the fill prices to be valid... am I mis-remembering something. Ever have issues with them?
Short term bull... then expecting them to get spanked into the end of the year.
Any and all of your suggestions would be good ones. I personally think it might be conducive to trail stops with either an ATR strategy or with some kind of bar count. Gotta win big with a strategy like this.
A simple strategy... This should work on any pit traded contract but you'll need to monitor the OPENING price. Thats the key. This is not my idea, but an adaptation of something I found on youtube one day and I simplified. Kind of makes sense as the opening price determines the bias for the day... this simple idea looks for initial direction to reverse, and to ride the wave of those protective stops getting hit. Use: 10 minute bar. Buy/Sell stops for entry. Opening price off 8:30 candle +/- 1 tick. 1. Wait for price to make a push in a certain direction (typically wait at least 1 bar can't use opening bar as entry). 2. Note the opening price. 3. Wait for price to trade back THROUGH the opening price by >1 tick, cent. This is your entry. 4. Stop placement depends on the market but place them logically outside of the previous swing low/high for starters or a few bar back from the trigger bar. 5. Make your own take profit rules to manage trades. I've attached a few examples using GOOG and the YM. I would hesitate to use this as much on the currencies because there is no pit traded time (not really at least) and your looking for volatility during the open to define the trend which 8x's out of 10 isn't present prior to the asian open in the currencies. Just thought this basic idea could be utilized by many. As you can see its barebones idiot proof and it has EXCELLENT risk:reward. Not all of them are created equal but I think it would beyond easy for everyone to walk through a few charts and note what makes the best patterns and which to avoid. I leave that to you. Hope this helps!
^^^ Don't know but MT5 was just released a month or so ago and its got sweeping changes to its capabilities.
If you're ever in Omaha i'd love to pick you're brain!

Simon Jordan slams Declan Rice in astonishing rant over England star's transfer value
Simon Jordan has claimed that Declan Rice is not worth the £100million price tag that has previously been placed on the West Ham midfielder's head after he opened the door to a big summer transfer
Dan MarshSports Reporter
Want regular updates on the beautiful game from John Cross and colleagues?
Simon Jordan has taken a swipe at Declan Rice after insisting that the coveted England star is not worth his reported £100million price tag.
Rice has established as a key player for both club and country over the past couple of years but has just 18 months remaining on his current West Ham deal. Although the Hammers do hold an option to extend that by a further year, it is expected that Rice will be sold in the summer for a sizeable sum.
The West Ham star appeared to open the door on a move to a top club in the summer ahead of England's World Cup Round of 16 clash with Senegal. While speaking at a press conference building up to the game on Thursday, Rice was asked about his desire to play in the Champions League and admitted: "Yeah - one hundred per cent I want to play in the Champions League. For the last two or three years I've been saying that.
"I've been playing consistently well for my club and I feel like I really want to keep pushing. I see my friends here [with England at the World Cup in Qatar], who are playing Champions League and competing for big trophies.
"You only get one career and at the end of it you want to look back at what you've won and the biggest games you've played in. I really want to do that."
Although Rice has an extensive list of suitors, including the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, Jordan has hit out at the sky-high valuations that have been slapped on the 23-year-old - who he claims is 'underwhelming'. Hammers boss David Moyes has previously insisted that Rice would not be sold for less than £150m.
Join the debate! How much do you think Declan Rice is worth? Let us know here.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan insisted: "I'm underwhelmed, and there's probably going to be a collective inhalation of breath, I'm underwhelmed by Declan Rice. I think he's a very good player but I'm trying to work out what a £100m footballer should look like.
"And I think it should look like something a little bit more compelling than the showing we've currently got. But that may be just because he's being asked to play a certain [way]."
Jordan then continued with his rant and quipped: "There's a rumour going around here that eventually Declan Rice is going to pass the ball forward in this tournament. He's a player that is coming with a great reputation. I'm not entirely sure he's having the greatest World Cup but I would expect at the end of this season you're going to find Declan Rice with a decision."
