Analysis, Articles, XFL
M-FANS XFL Preview: Houston Roughnecks
Date: February 7, 2020Author: Tej Seth 0 Comments
If Michael Scott was writing this article, he would start it off by saying something like: "Webster's Dictionary defines 'roughneck' as having an uneven or irregular surface that is not smooth. Well, I think this team is irregular because they are in the XFL."
The Houston Roughnecks were founded this past year and will open their inaugural season at home against Los Angeles Wildcats on FOX on Sunday, February 8th. If they win their first game, as less than a year-old franchise they will already have more primetime wins than Kirk Cousins. There are a lot of storylines in the XFL and even with the Roughnecks. I will dive into some here as a preview:
1. Head Coach June Jones Has Plenty of Coaching Experience
To my disappointment, June Jones is not related to the "Junie B. Jones" book series that I often read as a kid. Jones played for three different teams in college and eventually ended up at the Atlanta Falcons where he doubled Jameis Winston with a 1:2 TD to INT ratio which promptly got him cut after four seasons. He was an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii, then in the USFL and made his back to the Atlanta Falcons before taking over a Hawaii team that was on an 18-game losing streak. He righted the ship with consecutive winning seasons and a contract of over $800,000. He then signed a contract with SMU worth $2 million annually, going 1-11 and then 7-5. After going 5-7, he stepped down due to personal reasons, but is now in the XFL and ready to roll in what is his second head coaching stint in the Lone Star State. Throughout his coaching career, he has used the run and shoot on offense with one running back, four wide receivers and a wide receiver motion on every play.
2. No One Knows Who the Roughnecks' Quarterback Will Be
The center of the Roughnecks' training camp has been centered around the quarterback battle between former Michigan State Spartan and Oakland Raider Connor Cook and former Temple Owl P.J. Walker. Cook peaked in college, as he started three seasons at Michigan State – including in 2014, when he ranked 10th in the country in Adjusted Yards per Passing Attempt (which goes beyond the normal passing yards per attempt to factor in touchdowns and interceptions thrown) and in 2015, when he led his team to the College Football Playoff. Playoffs in general haven't been kind to him, as against Alabama he only completed 48% of his passes and threw 2 interceptions, and in his sole NFL playoff game – replacing an injured Derek Carr – he had a completed percentage of 40% and threw 3 interceptions. P.J. Walker started all four years at Temple including his senior year in 2016, when he finished 25th in the entire nation for AY/A. With current Panthers head coach Matt Rhule leading the helm, Walker guided Temple to a 10-4 record. He graduated from Temple having cemented his legacy as one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in AAC history, as he finished his college career second on the conference's all-time passing yards list. Possessing a decent combination of mobility and accuracy, Walker seems like the better fit for Coach Jones' offense.
3. The Stud Wide Receivers
If XFL Fantasy Football is a thing, expect Sammie Coates and Kahlil Lewis to be league winners. Coates holds the honor of being the second-highest pick player in the NFL draft that is now in the XFL. He went 87th overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers and had 21 receptions for 435 yards in his second year. However (and if there are any young children reading this, please cover their eyes), his catch rate was only 42.9%. To provide some context on just how low that is, you should know that the 100th best pass catcher in the NFL had a catch rate of 64.8%. He is only 26 years old, stands at 6'1", weighs 210 pounds with a 4.43 40 and is ready for a fresh start. Kahlil Lewis is much less athletic 5'10", 190 pounds with a 4.69-second 40, but had three good years at Cincinnati in college:
Year Receptions Yards Touchdowns
2016 48 605 5
Vegas has the Houston Roughnecks at +750 to win the XFL Championship which is fifth in the league. Their offense will be a lot of fun as Jones' Hawaii teams passed 45 times a game. It'll be exciting to see a city like Houston get behind a team that doesn't cheat (*cough* Astros *cough*), doesn't have their GM tweet about politics (*cough* Rockets *cough*) or doesn't have their head coach yell at fans (*cough* Texans *cough*).

Етельвальд (; ? — 902) — король Йорвіку у 900—902 роках, король Східної Англії у 901—902 роках (як Етельвольд II).

Життєпис

Молоді роки
Походив з Вессекської династії. Молодший син Етельреда I, короля Вессексу, та Вулфрити. Про дату народження нічого невідомо. Втім відомо, що у 871 році, коли помер Етельред I, Етельвальд був досить малим. Виховувався при двору свого стрийка — короля Альфреда. Вперше згадується у 881 році. Отримав почесний титул етелінг (на кшталт принца). Разом з тим намагався повернути собі частину майна, яке заповідав батько, проте марно. У 893 році отримав 3 маєтки в Сасексі.

У 899 році після смерті короля Альфреда висунув претензії на трон Вессексу. Втім у битві при Вімборні зазнав поразки від Едуарда, сина Альфреда, та втік до королівства Йорвік.

Королювання
У Йорвіку зумів перетягнути на свій бік місцеву знать та військовиків, після чого у 900 році повалив короля Кнута, завдавши тому поразки у битві при Скарборо. Разом з тим його співправителем став знатний вікінг Хардекнут.

У 901 році уклав союз з данами Східної Англії, які обрали його своїм королем. Водночас данська армія, що перебувала на землях колишнього королівства Ессекс підтримала Етельвальда. Останній мав намір за допомогою данів захопити трон Вессексу.

У 902 році розпочато велику військову кампанію: війська Йорвіку рушили зі східної Мерсії, щоб була підвладною вікінгам, до західної Мерсії та Вессексу, а Етельвальд на чолі потужного війська перетнув річку Темза. Він зумів захопити значні області в Кенті. У вирішальній битві при Холмі у Східній Англії (вважається в сучасному Кембрідширі) вікінги здобули рішучу перемогу, проте сам Етельвальд загинув. Після цього королем обрано представника роду Лоброка — Гальфдана II.

Ein Stand ist eine temporäre oder mobile Einrichtung, die dem Verkauf von Waren oder der Werbung und Information dient (z. B. "Informationsstand", "Messestand").

Stände sind in größeren Ansammlungen auf Wochen-, Floh-, Weihnachts- und  Jahrmärkten sowie auf Volksfesten zu finden. Einzeln gestellt kommen sie häufig in Fußgängerzonen und Freizeitparks vor.

Abgrenzung und typische Merkmale
Ein Stand grenzt sich von einem Ladengeschäft insbesondere dadurch ab, dass er sich nicht dauerhaft in einem Gebäude befindet, sondern für begrenzte Zeit draußen oder in großen Räumen frei aufgestellt wird. Gelegentlich werden auch fest installierte geschlossene Verkaufsstellen als Stand bezeichnet, wenn diese einfach gebaut (insbesondere Wände aus Holz, Blech o. ä.) und vergleichsweise klein sind und von den Kunden üblicherweise nicht betreten werden. Der von den Kunden betretene Bereich ist in der Regel zu den Seiten hin offen, häufig aber mit Markisen, Schirmen oder ähnlichem überdacht.

Varianten
Stände, an denen Fastfood zum Direktverzehr angeboten wird, nennt man Imbissstand.

Auf Jahrmärkten oder für gesonderte Angelegenheiten auch einzeln gelegen sind mobile Buden in Schnellbauweise und entsprechend ausgestattete Autoanhänger üblich.

Auf manchen Märkten werden die eigentlich für mobilen Betrieb gedachten Stände nicht mehr abgebaut, wie vielerorts auf Stadtmärkten (z. B. dem Wiener Naschmarkt, dem Bozner Obstmarkt oder dem Münchner Viktualienmarkt) und in vielen Markthallen.

Ein (Floh-)Marktstand ist eine einfache Form eines Standes und besteht gewöhnlicherweise aus einem oder mehreren bisweilen durch große Sonnenschirme, Planen oder ein Zelt überdachten Klapp- oder Tapeziertischen.

Messestände können wegen ihrer beabsichtigten Werbewirkung sehr groß und aufwendig gebaut sein und auch geschlossene Räume oder gar Vorführungssäle enthalten.

As best as we can determine, folks have been eating in Texas for about thirteen thousand years. Accepted theory at this time is that the first Texans walked here from Asia via a land bridge across the Straits of Alaska. Way back then dinner, or supper, consisted of whatever you could find or catch that day. Simple fare consisted of now-extinct mammals and reptiles, and whatever vegetables, roots, berries or nuts that could be found.
Europeans came to Texas in the early Sixteenth Century. Some Spanish explorers were shipwrecked and lived with the Native Texans for a while, probably sharing the native diet. The Natives ate mostly what they could hunt and gather. There was some farming going on in the piney woods of East Texas. Native game of the time was American Bison, Whitetail Deer, Antelope and small critters. Wild fruit and nuts rounded out the fare.
It was only when the Spaniards started putting missions in Texas that European-style food began to be imported. The Spaniards had cattle, hogs and sheep. They probably imported corn and other small grains. This was pretty much the menu for about three hundred years.
When the Anglo-Celts started settling in Texas in the early eighteen hundreds, they brought their cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry. There was some wild cattle left over from the Spanish missions, and most of those could be found in deep South Texas. The settlers had to grow most of everything they consumed. Nearly every family had a kitchen garden that provided corn, white potatoes and sweet potatoes. There were a lot more sweet potatoes than white potatoes. Oats was about the only small grain that did well in the Texas climate. Some rye was also raised. Wheat came later.
Things like salt, coffee, sugar and wheat flour had to be imported. A lot of it was brought in from New Orleans and Galveston.
The early Texans ate a lot of corn -- fresh corn in season, dried corn in the winter, cornmeal the year around after milling was available.
Lacking any other method of preserving food, drying and salting was used a lot. Salt pork is made by packing fresh pork in salt for several weeks, and then smoking it to impart some flavor. Beef was dried into jerky. Wild game supplemented the diet, mostly deer, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, raccoon, opossum and fowl. Buffalo probably did not figure into the Anglo diet until the middle eighteen hundreds when the frontier moved out to the Llano Estacado.
The simplest method of eating corn is just to pull back the husk and take a bite, that is providing it's early in the season and the corn is still tender. Dried corn could be boiled and eaten that way, or it could be ground into meal and made into corn mush or corn cakes or corn bread.
Corn mush is simple food. Just stir some cornmeal into boiling water and cook it down until it thickens, add some butter, sugar or honey and a little milk, and you have a delicious hot breakfast. Omit the butter, sugar and milk and cut back on the water enough to make a thick batter, and you can fry it into Johnny cakes or bake it on a clean garden implement for hoe cakes.
For corn bread, you have to have a leavening agent, like baking powder or baking soda and buttermilk, to make it rise.
The Native Texans learned to soak dried corn in lime water to make hominy which can be ground into masa, a type of corn flour, a staple of Tex-Mex cooking.
Cornmeal comes in white or yellow. Either is acceptable. You can find some blue cornmeal in New Mexico and Arizona, and it's really blue. No matter the color, if you can find cornmeal that's been stone ground, it just seems to be better.
The recipes that follow go back quite a few years. As with many old recipes, it is assumed that the cook knows his or her way around a kitchen of the day. They don't exactly waste words with step-by-step directions.
and Sherbet by John Raven, Ph.B.
Sprinkle cornmeal into boiling water, stirring constantly. Add salt and cook for about half an hour. Serve with sugar and cream.
Mix the sugar, butter and eggs. Mix the cornmeal and salt together, and combine with the sugar, butter and egg mixture. Add vanilla and cinnamon and mix well. Pour into a floured cake pan and bake in a moderate oven.
Rinse skinned squirrel in cold water and pat dry. Dip in buttermilk and then in seasoned flour, and fry in hot fat. If the squirrel is young, steaming is not necessary. Otherwise, drain off excess fat and add a cup of water and steam covered. Make gravy in the frying pan by adding leftover seasoned flour and milk or water. Serve with biscuits and wild plum jelly.
Salt pork is seldom used for anything other than seasoning now, but it was a staple of the early Texans. It was boiled to remove the excess salt and then prepared.
Slice one pound of salt pork thin. Freshen it by putting the slices in cold water and bringing to a boil. Then dry the slices, slit the edges and fry to a crisp. Make cream gravy with the drippings.

As Pavi Binning steps down as President of Canada's largest organization, he shares a behind the scenes look at some of the major moves at George Weston Limited, his playbook for getting through a crisis and which CFOs can make it to the CEO chair.
We certainly are living in interesting and uncertain times. You've been in a couple of situations like Marconi and Nortel which have faced significant challenges. What have you learned about dealing with a crisis as a CFO?
When I took on the CFO roles at Marconi and Nortel, the businesses were in the process of rebuilding. Frankly, I gravitated towards them for that exact reason; when a business is facing a period of significant change you have the ability to make a real impact.
When entering this type of situation you need to develop a clear business strategy. That is absolutely critical. Understanding what the value drivers of the business are, and making sure that you preserve them, while closing down areas and assets where value is being destroyed is vital. For example, both Nortel and Marconi were spending billions on R&D and there were judgement calls to be made around which product set and portfolio could create value over the long term, and which areas needed to be stopped. What surprised me is that sometimes, even when we had agreed to shut certain R&D projects down, you would come back later to find people still working on them.
From the strategy, it's then important to determine what the key priorities for the business are. Once you've done this, you need to rally the whole organization behind these priorities in order to achieve them.
From a financial perspective, I would say that as a CFO, you need to bring a significant amount of rigor and financial discipline towards running a company that is facing difficulties versus a company that isn't. Areas that I needed to pay special attention to were the drivers of the P&L, expense control, liquidity, debt, financial obligations as well as ensuring adequate cash flow. Most organizations try and improve their processes in these areas but in a crisis situation you simply don't have a choice.
Above all, what I have learned in these situations is communication with the organization at all levels is absolutely critical. People have to believe that there is a future for the organization and if not, you'll start losing key people at all levels. One of the things I found was that people are more resilient than you think they are. If people believe that there's a way through the tough times and that it will result in a positive outcome, they will persevere through it. I've seen an enormous amount of loyalty in these situations and a few of the senior people who went through the Nortel situation came to work with me at George Weston.
Your career has spanned the U.K., the U.S., and Canada. How does Canada compare to these other markets when it comes to driving the business?
When it comes to the traditional role of finance (i.e. reporting, audit, tax, treasury etc.) it's relatively similar between these countries. What I've found over the years is that the other aspects of the finance role (i.e. analytical capabilities, business partnership and the role of finance as a business driver and a catalyst of change) are more advanced in the U.K., and probably the U.S., Canada lags a little behind.
When I first came to Canada, I felt the role of finance could be more advanced. For example, at George Weston Limited, we're now much more progressive than we were, and we're aggressively driving towards building a best in class finance function.
You've made the transition from CFO to CEO. Looking back, what do you consider to be the three leadership qualities that enabled you to be successful?
The first is strategic skills and business capabilities. You have to set a clear vision and strategy for the organization, because without this, you simply aren't going anywhere.
The second is that you have to engage, inspire and motivate the organization around that strategy which is something that doesn't come easily to CFOs, because they're generally more introverted. If you can engage people quickly and in the right way, it makes a huge difference. For example, this approach recently worked well at Weston Foods, when the business needed to be transformed after some challenging years.
The third area that I've focused on in the CEO role is to make a real difference. Imagine the CEO's role - people are not coming to you with easy problems, because if the decision was straightforward they would just make it themselves. You need the ability to assess the situation or the issue very quickly, exercise judgement, make the decision and provide clarity to the organization.
You have made a couple of significant moves with you as President, such as the deal to acquire Shoppers Drug Mart and unlocking the value of the property portfolio. How did your finance background prepare you to deliver on these initiatives?
It helped me enormously throughout my career. As a CFO, I have always focused on value creation and these moves certainly helped George Weston create significant value. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work for companies where I was able to build capabilities in many areas beyond finance like strategy and M&A. I think the other thing that I would say from being a CFO in the past, we approached both these strategic moves with enormous financial rigor and discipline, and that was important because they were two of the biggest moves the Company had ever made. For example, when we did the acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart, we actually built a strategic plan of our own for the business, and when the Shoppers' team presented their strategic plan to us, it was very similar. In that context, being a former CFO helped me in terms of ensuring that we brought the necessary degree of financial rigour in assessing the strategic moves.
It sounds like the Shoppers acquisition was years in the making. At what point did you feel the timing was right to make a move?
We worked on the Shoppers Drug Mart acquisition for a number of years before we actually made the move - we were just waiting for the right time. One of the challenges that we had was that we were going to use a significant amount of equity to do the acquisition. In the end it turned out to be about 50/50 debt and equity, and therefore making sure the share price was at the right level, so that we could achieve all the financial parameters and hurdles that we wanted to was very important to the Weston family and Board. Therefore we waited for the right time in terms of actually making the acquisition.
In terms of Choice Properties REIT, we worked on that for about 12 to 18 months before we executed against it. I've always believed that if you want to make strategic moves, you have to be deliberate about them. You have to do the work up front, whether it's the strategic rationale, financial implications, synergies, structuring etc. Thinking through different scenarios and outcomes very carefully is important. But, sometimes things happen on an opportunistic basis and you need to be prepared for that and move quickly.
What has been your approach to building a first-class finance organization?
In every finance organization I led, I built a leadership team across finance, and I called it either the Finance Leadership Team or the Finance Leadership Group. The leadership team was composed of the senior people that reported into me, i.e. the heads of the corporate finance functions like tax, treasury, IR, Financial Control, FP&A etc, as well as regional CFOs from around the world. I would bring that team together and develop a finance strategy that was going to support the overarching strategy of the business. Inevitably I found there were always common themes across every company that I worked for and these themes became the core elements of the strategy. They included areas like talent management, decision support, business partnership and systems and process management.
As a result of developing those four tenants, we made it our goal to drive these priorities through the entire finance function, and I would engage the whole function around them, while effectively allocating leadership responsibility to each priority to ensure that the plan were executed.
I've always operated on something that I call ruthless prioritization. One of the things that I always thought about when I was a CFO was where I should be spending my time. I determined areas where I could make the most impact beyond the typical financial role, and then I devoted a significant amount of my time to these areas. As a general rule, if I decided that couldn't have impact on something, I typically would not attend the meeting.
What about the CEOs that you have worked with. What has been your approach to building a strong business partnership with them?
I've been fortunate in my career that I had the opportunity to work for some outstanding business leaders. I haven't tried to model myself on anyone in particular, but instead take the best from each of them.
The way that I approached every job that I've had was by building strong relationships, based on values that are important to me. These values being trust, respect, openness, transparency, honesty and not getting involved in politics - that's the way I operate. Wherever I've worked I have always been upfront. I would sit there and say, "Look, these are all the things that are going well, but let me tell you what's not going well and what we're going to do about it," I'd do the same at the Board and also with different levels of Management. Also I've always been reasonably direct in terms of feedback as I've tried to coach and develop people.
In my finance career, I've also tried to drive functional excellence in every area of finance. As the CFO you are viewed by everyone as the finance expert, so I tried to demonstrate strong capabilities in every area of the function. I was fortunate to work at Diageo where I was able to build capabilities in every area of finance and by the time I had left, there wasn't a part of finance that I hadn't run or have a deep understanding of. This served me well as I moved into public company CFO roles.
The third area I focused on was on my leadership capabilities, because these are what take you to the most senior positions in management. As CFO, I tried to influence and have impact across the entire organization that often was beyond my mandate. I've never really asked for permission to move beyond the traditional CFO responsibilities but just got on with it. The CFO is uniquely placed along with the CEO to see across the entire organization. My view was to leverage that and to play a role in many areas where a CEO or COO would typically operate.
You have always been a big proponent of finance driving innovation and ensuring the business is "market led". Why is this and do you have a good example of where this has taken place?
My sense is that, again, because of who finance is, there's an ability to be a change agent and drive innovation across the entire organization.
As an example, at Weston Foods, we had largely exhausted our cost reduction strategies and one thing that became obvious to me and the leadership team was that we hadn't led major trends in bakery in recent times. As a result, we decided to really understand consumer insights, needs, and trends, as well as the effectiveness of our sales force, the optimization of our marketing spend, and the investments we needed to make from a growth perspective. To drive this agenda, finance played a major role in getting under the skin of these important areas. We approached this from a completely different angle as we talked directly to our customers about what was going on in the industry, their businesses and how we could help them grow. Having those conversations allowed us to think about upcoming trends and what the future bakery landscape could look like. This uniquely positioned us to begin to drive innovation through a market-led approach.
You've recently announced you will be stepping down as President. What is next for you?
I am leaving the public company and working as Special Advisor to the Weston family. I'll be spending more time in the family's private companies, which includes the luxury retail business.
The last seven years at George Weston Limited have been phenomenal and we've achieved a great deal, but I believe it's time to move on to the next stage of my career.

Cartographic Narratives II | Récits cartographiques II
South China Sea: Mapping Politics and Geography | La mer de Chine méridionale : cartographier la politique et la géographie
Presenter: Leo Dillon, US Department of State
The South China Sea, one of the world's most important maritime commerce routes, has in the last decade become more and more a geopolitical hotspot as conflicting claims to maritime space and to islands and reefs have intensified. Accurately mapping these various claims is problematic and is made more difficult by the uncertain geography of the islands, rocks, and reefs found there. Making a tough cartographic situation worse is how the geography and politics relates to international maritime law and the different ways in which it is interpreted. This presentation will examine the challenges in mapping the South China Sea from the perspective of a State Department cartographer who has been doing it for 25 or more years.
Conflict Urbanism: Colombia and Aleppo | L'urbanisme du conflit : la Colombie et Alep
Presenter: Juan Francisco Saldarriaga, Columbia University
Copresenters: Laura Kurgan, Angelika Rettberg, Madeeha Merchant,
Jamon Van Den Hoek
Mapping conflict is extremely difficult: data is hard to collect, realities on the ground change constantly, and the intricacies of each conflict are difficult to understand and even more difficult to explain through simple maps. Our Conflict Urbanism: Aleppo, and Conflict Urbanism: Colombia projects grapple with these issues while still trying to map and analyze the destruction of Aleppo and more than 30 years of conflict in Colombia. Through the use of satellite images, crowd-sourced data and web-mapping tools we attempt to create a spatial record of these two conflicts. Our work is part historical memory and part analysis and tries to set the basis for further studies that might inform nuanced transitional justice policies that are responsive to local needs and cognizant of socio-spatial phenomena.
Mapping the movements of people mimicking animals | Cartographier les déplacements des humains imitant les animaux
Presenter: Sarah Bennett, University of Wisconsin–Madison
We use our bodies in interesting ways when we interact with animals, especially when we mimic them. At the International Crane Foundation, people mimic cranes to raise endangered whooping crane chicks. Meanwhile, in the rodeo sport of cutting, a mirroring dance occurs between a rider-horse pair and a cow they've separated from the herd. In questioning how these activities might construct animal-human crossover identities, I made isoline maps of pivotal moments of self assembly and sharing between the bodies involved. In this presentation, I'll give background on how the people and animals in my case studies move and I'll show the maps I made of their movements. Drawing on my earlier work on isoline mapping for dance, my visualizations reveal the unseen spaces that materialize in our interactions.
The State of Online Indigenous Mapping in the Canadian Context | L'état de la cartographie autochtone en ligne dans le contexte canadien
Presenter: Thomas McGurk, Concordia University
Mapping and cartography has felt the impact by web technologies in profound ways. Maps, movement, spatial data, communications, and social media have become part of everyday life for millions of people. A reoccurring narrative in this fusion of spatial and communications technology is its possible democratizing possibilities, especially for habitually marginalized groups and actors. The work examines how Canadian Indigenous peoples and their allies are creating on-line maps by producing an audit of existing websites. Drawing from the work of Smith (1999) a content analysis related to aspects of decolonized methodologies is performed for mapping sites run uniquely by Indigenous actors, sites run by Indigenous actors and NGOs, and sites run by Indigenous actors and research organizations. Additionally, a qualitative aspect of the work relying on interviews with Indigenous mappers, scholars, and technicians attempts to provide additional depth to the content analysis.

We spent three nights in Thunder Bay following our trip around the north shore of Lake Superior. We used our Thunder Bay stop to get groceries and catch up on the internet after a week in the wilds of Ontario. We considered both Kakabeka Provincial Park and the Thunder Bay KOA, but ultimately chose the campground at Ontario Provincial Park's Fort William Historical Park because we heard good things and it was relatively inexpensive. We couldn't have been happier.
The campground is located on the grounds of Ontario's Fort William Historical Park and is managed by the park staff. The sites are not particularly well marked, but easy to decipher due to location of electrical and water risers. All the sites are located in a large grassy area on the historical park's grounds and are within easy (5-min) walking distance to the Fort's Visitor Center. The Fort is an easy commute to both downtown Thunder Bay (15-min), and the beautiful Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park (20-min). The staff was super friendly and overall it wasn't that busy. Each night of our stay, we saw about four or five rigs pull in for the evening. There were only two or three other rigs in the park for more than one night during our three night stay.
There are approximately 64 listed sites, with about 17 of them having electric and water. All sites are long and situated in full sun (basically, it's a big grassy parking lot) and dry camping with solar would be very easy. Side-to-side, the sites are pretty close together, but the staff seemed to do a good job of reserving them so when we did have someone next door to us, it was only for a single night stay.
The campground has bathrooms and showers that are located in two trailers near the camping area entrance/exit. While the facilities were a bit janky due to being located in trailers, they were always clean and we saw the staff cleaning and inspecting them several times during the day. In fact, we saw the staff drive through the camping area at least a dozen times per day. The entire Fort William complex has awesome WiFi and a strong LTE signal from Rogers (although we are AT&T and didn't use it). There is a dump station available, but it is located on a pull-off on the side of the main access road between the campground and the Fort's visitor center.
Price-wise, the camp sites were fairly reasonable: Non-serviced (dry camping) sites $CAN 25/night + HST Serviced sites (50/30/20amp and water) $CAN 35/night + HST. We paid about $US for our "Serviced" site.
If they had actual brick and mortar bathhouses, we would have given the place 5-stars, but the trailer bathrooms/showers were perfectly fine and functional with good water temperature and pressure.
Regarding the Fort: We spent one full day at the historic park and it was fantastic. Although not as big as Colonial Williamsburg, Fort William was much more enjoyable and a lot cheaper. While we didn't count the other visitors, I would estimate that during our Thursday in late-June visit, there were only about 100-150 other people visiting throughout the day. Our eight-year-old loved the fort and had a great time with the interpreters/re-enactors and was encouraged to touch things and try his hand at various activities (i.e., playing lacroose, making bread, throwing an axe!) There is also a planetarium and telescope on-site, but we only attended a day-time Sun program and it wasn't very good. We talked to another couple in the campground and they attended an evening program (very late because in late-June, the it was still light out at 11pm) and said it was merely, "ok." They said the mosquitoes were really bad at the planetarium though.

What is a license agreement? Basically, a license agreement is a contract that allows one person to use another person`s property for a certain price.3 min read As you can see, there are many types of licenses. An experienced intellectual property attorney can help you determine the type of license agreement you need and what should be included in this agreement. Do your due diligence before the agreement. Both parties should carefully check the other party. Review business loans and management resumes. Ask for financial statements. Visit the other company`s offices and production facilities. Try everything. Licensing agreements can cover a variety of properties: real estate, personal property, or intellectual property such as copyrights, trademarks, or patents.
To protect yourself and your business, it`s important to be thorough when creating a license agreement. Both the licensee and the licensor must have a clear understanding of what they are accepting. Consider the following tips before you begin: Non-compete. Licensor agrees not to allow anyone to compete with the License in the territory and period specified in the Agreement. A license agreement is a legal agreement between two parties, called a licensor and licensee. In a typical license agreement, Licensor grants Licensee the right to manufacture and sell goods, enforce a brand name or trademark, or use Licensor`s patented technologies. In return, the licensee generally submits to a set of terms and conditions for the use of the licensor`s property and agrees to make payments called royalties. Copyright licensing agreements are often used for consumer goods, as are trademark licenses. They are also used for prizes, such as musical works or movies. Those entering into a licensing agreement should consult a lawyer as there are complexities that are difficult to understand for those who do not have a thorough understanding of intellectual property law.
License agreements ensure that you have legal permission to use another person`s or company`s property. For example, if you were to use an artist`s song in an advertisement, you`ll need to sign a license agreement to do so legally. If you use the song without permission, you may violate copyright laws and risk being sued or fined. Depending on the authorized ownership, royalties can be either a lump sum or a percentage of what the licensee earns using the product. When licensing a product, the licensor almost always requires monitoring of the product to ensure that it is being used correctly. For example, Licensor may require product quality control before Licensee makes sales. In addition to an initial review, many licensors require regular quality monitoring throughout the term of the license agreement. The bargaining power of both parties to a licensing agreement often depends on the nature of the product. For example, a film studio that licenses the likeness of a popular superhero to an action figure creator could have significant bargaining power in this negotiation, as the manufacturer is likely to benefit enormously from such an agreement.
The film studio therefore has the leverage to take its business elsewhere if the manufacturer is cold on its feet. Examples of licenses can be found in many different industries. An example of a license agreement is an agreement between software copyright holders and a company that allows them to use the computer software for their day-to-day business operations. A license agreement allows a licensee to use the property of a licensor. These written agreements set out a number of parameters for the use of Licensor`s property. This means that the licensed property may not be used for any purpose, even under a license agreement, except as provided in the agreement. According to BrewLong`s attorney, Ashely Brewer, "Licensing agreements are like leases. Much depends on the property in question and the relationship between the parties. » Hire a lawyer who has expertise in licensing agreements.
These agreements are complicated and specific to each situation. Many lawyers know how to create a general contract, but they may not know the details of licensing agreements. An IP lawyer could be a good place to start. Establish the property first. If you sell or purchase a license for a product, make sure that ownership of that product is clearly stated in the agreement. Also, make sure that no one else is using the asset (e.B. a trademark) and register the trademark or register a copyright. You don`t want to get into a license agreement and then find out that someone else is questioning the property.
The most important part of the license agreement is the exchange of values. In order to obtain the right to use Licensor`s intellectual property, Licensee pays a royalty called the License Fee. If someone has a franchise, there may be a license agreement, and there may be several types of licenses within the franchise. For example, a McDonald`s franchise could include licenses to use the McDonald`s logo on products and packaging, as well as another license to manufacture its patented processes or product ingredients. The term license implies to allow by granting powers. Therefore, a license agreement is a contract between two parties – namely the licensor and the licensee. This is usually a written contract in which the owner allows the licensee to use their property for a certain period of time. The licensor usually receives money to serve in return by allowing access to their property. License agreements are usually signed to secure intangible properties, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks to protect technological innovations, company names, logos, and others.
In the event of an extreme license agreement, Licensor gives Licensee flexibility to manufacture and sell products, use its brand name, or use Licensor`s patented technological know-how. This article is only a general overview of license agreements; It is not intended to be complete and should not be used to prepare a legal document. Using a template that you find on the Internet is dangerous because it cannot meet certain laws and your own situation. Exclusive licences are those which create a unique relationship between the licensor and the licensee. With such license agreements, the licensor agrees that the licensee is the only one who can use the intellectual property. These usually cost more for the licensee. A company has the ability to license virtually any of its assets. However, most licensing agreements include intellectual property such as trademarks. Today, many licensing agreements include digital assets such as smartphone apps. Licensing agreements are often used for the commercialization of technologies. License agreements set out the terms under which one party may use another party`s property. While the properties in question may include a variety of elements, including real estate and personal effects, licensing agreements are most often used for intellectual property such as patents and trademarks, as well as copyrights for written materials and visual arts.
The license agreement must include language that addresses the issue of ownership disputes. For example, what happens if someone refuses ownership of a trademark that you have licensed? Or what if someone plagiarizes the copyrighted work that is licensed? Both parties to the license agreement must agree on how to deal with these issues. An example of a very common property included in licensing agreements is the image of a movie superhero. Toy makers often allow this to sell action figures, which are much more likely to be bought if they are based on a popular superhero. Another common example is the licensing of a song for an advertising campaign or for use in a movie. In the fast food market, there are a number of companies based on the franchise concept, in which a franchise owner licenses the rights to the name, products and promotional material of the main company. There are certainly benefits to licensing your company`s assets, but be sure to consider these factors when creating a licensing agreement: Christian, Glynna K. "Joint Ventures: Understanding licensing issues." The License Journal. October 2005. One of the most important elements of a licensing agreement concerns the financial regulation.
Payments made by Licensee to Licensor are generally made in the form of guaranteed minimum payments and royalties on sales. The license fee is usually between 6 and 10%, depending on the respective property and the level of experience and sophistication of the licensee. Not all licensors require guarantees, although some experts recommend that licensors receive as much compensation as possible in advance. In some cases, licensors use warranties as the basis for renewing a license agreement. If the licensee meets the minimum sales figures, the contract will be extended; Otherwise, the Licensor has the opportunity to terminate the relationship. A license agreement is a written agreement that gives you permission to use another party`s property under certain conditions. .

In this study, the index of market competition, consumer welfare lost, underwriting risk and the relationship between them and the process of privatization in the insurance industry, is studied. The results show that with the privatization in the insurance industry, the insurance market has lost the monopoly, lost welfare during the last ten years, but dropped sharply increased underwriting risk.
In view of the increasing competition in the market, has increased the need for effective monitoring. Regression calculations show that a strong and significant relationship is between privatization (increasing the number of insurance companies), competition, market risks and consumer welfare.

This blog is to share personal experiences, encouragement, fun ideas, and things I've learned and am learning through my journey as Christ follower, wife, and mommy.
Me: My name is Lindsay. I am a follower of Jesus, wife, and mommy of 3 precious little ones. At the birth of our third child, I stopped working as a part-time registered nurse to be a stay-at-home mom, as they say, the most challenging and rewarding job. I love my crazy home life! I am pretty laid back and like adventure, but I also like structure and routine. I enjoy hiking, jogging, traveling, cooking, and gardening (I am a novice but am enjoying learning). I especially love doing all these things with my family. As I live this new challenge of stay-at-home mom, I am trying to keep our lives organized, simple, fun, and raise my children to serve the Lord. I am so thankful for the Lord's sovereignty and patience as I seek to follow Him while living this life He has given me. I hope to share the challenges and joys I face along with the failures and successes and be an encouragement to others.


USATF XC — Why it is important. – Practical. Personal. Progressive.
Yesterday was the 2019 USATF XC Championships, which was the trial qualifying for the 2019 World XC Championships that are taking place in Denmark this year. For the first time since I can remember…the fields were stacked, as if they were actually racing for something. And the races were exciting.
Because the greats did it. WHY DO WE NOT COPY WHAT THE GREATS DID?
Because the strength that you gain racing hard over grass, mud, hills, etc. is unmatched…you don't find that kind of strength on the roads or on the track…and I'm talking MENTAL and PHYSICAL strength.
Because it's great PREPARATION for the roads and for the track. You can't tell me that you won't feel faster on those sure surfaces after racing on the grass?
And, I think there are a million more reasons why it's important, but I just wish it held a greater significance for us. I love XC…and I am excited to see TEAM USA compete at the World Championships!!!

Two of the gas stations in Smithers lowered their prices on Thursday morning. (Marisca Bakker photo)
Gas prices in Smithers lower but remain higher than surrounding communities
Analyst says a lot goes into determining gas prices
Marisca Bakker
Gas prices in Smithers have come down today but are still higher than surrounding communities.
Gas in Smithers is just hovering over a dollar a litre but it has been under 90 cents a litre in Hazelton for a couple of days and it is currently 99 cents in Houston.
Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.com, said there are various factors that go into determining gas prices:
"One: price of crude oil, two: individual state taxes, and three: proximity of the gas station to supply sources, like refineries and pipelines and four: perhaps the largest factor (and a very loaded word), competition," he said in an email to the Interior News.
"Competition sounds simple but is the most complicated of these factors. How many stations are nearby, how much gasoline they sell (are you in a small town or large), average incomes, traffic counts, who the stations buy from, their strategy, are all different from one another. Some stations may drop prices faster to try and "steal" traffic from filling up at the competition, which could turn into a price war."
Copperside Foods, which has a lease with Petro Canada, has prices higher than other communities because it has already paid a higher price for what it has on site, said manager Greg Wedlock.
"We get our tanks full and we pay a certain price for that and then all of sudden the gas goes down. We don't have control."
He added that Copperside Foods is a small company out of Terrace and has to follow the lead of other stations in Smithers.
"So when the price goes down somewhere else we have to wait to see how long we are able before we have to go down. We want to be fair. All the prices are adjusted by Esso and Chevron's reaction, we respond to that to make sure we are on par with the community."
He says he feels the community pressure and doesn't want to be known as a company that gouges.
"Right now I'm making four cents on every litre. If it goes below four cents, I lose money. It is all the people at the top and filters down and into the pumps, between all the taxes, we get hit with a northern tax for a transportation fee so when it comes down to it we are making four cents," he said. "The main thing is what did we pay for it in the ground. So if I have a full tank and suddenly the gas drops ten cents, we are making pennies per litre. A lot of people think we are getting rich, it isn't us, it isn't Copperside Foods, it is a lost leader, it gets people into the station and buy things at the store."
Smithers 7-11 manager Sunil Kamboj said its headquarters in Surrey decides the price of the gas he sells at the Esso pumps.
"There were quite a few people complaining and then when it was 1.24 to 1.06, it should have been higher at that point and there is no change since," he said.
Wedlock added that he's also heard a lot of complaints from customers.
"We are five or six cents more a litre and people will whine and complain but spend $5 on a bottle of water, it is perspective but for some reason gas seems to have an emotional attachment."

The monastery of Saint Mary Deipara is a Coptic Orthodox monastery located in Wadi El Natrun in the Nitrian Desert, Beheira Governorate, Egypt. It is located about 500 meters northwest of the Monastery of Saint Pishoy.
The monastery is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and carries her name. In scholarly references from the nineteenth century it is generally called the convent or monastery of Saint Mary Deipara. It is better known nowadays as the Syrian Monastery or the monastery of the Syrians (Syriac Dayr al-Suryān) because it is mainly used by monks of the West Syriac rite.

Etymology, foundation and ancient history[edit]
Frescos from the Syrian monastery of Wadi Natrun.
The exact date of the monastery's foundation is unknown. Most sources seem however to agree that its foundation took place in the sixth century AD. The establishment of the monastery is closely connected to the Julianist heresy, which spread in Egypt during the papacy of Pope Timothy III of Alexandria. The Julianists believed in the incorruptibility of Christ's body. This was in contradiction with the teaching of the Orthodox Church, which held that Christ had taken human flesh that prevented him from being ideal and abstract, and therefore corruptible. Yet, in the monasteries of Scetes, a majority of the monks embraced the Julian heresy. In reaction, those who did not follow the heresy obtained permission from the governor Aristomachus to erect new churches and monasteries, so that they could settle apart from the Julianists. These new facilities were often built alongside the old ones, even keeping the same name but adding to it the word Theotokos, thus recognizing the significance of the incarnation, which the Julians seemed to minimize. The Syrian Monastery was therefore established by those monks of the Monastery of Saint Pishoy who rejected the Julian heresy. At the time of its construction, they called it the Monastery of the Holy Virgin Theotokos.
Towards the beginning of the eighth century AD, the monastery was sold to a group of wealthy Syrian merchants from Tikrit, who had settled in Cairo, for 12,000 dinars. These merchants converted the monastery for use by Syrian monks, and rebaptized it Monastery of the Holy Virgin of the Syrians. This could be one of the sources of the monastery's modern name. Yet, it is also possible that the monastery had already been inhabited by Syrian monks since the fourth century AD, which could trace the monastery's name to that period.
The Syrian Monastery, like the rest of the monasteries in Scetes, was subject to fierce attacks by desert Bedouins and Berbers. The fifth of these attacks, which took place in 817 AD, was particularly disastrous to this monastery. The monastery was then rebuilt in 850 AD by two monks, named Matthew and Abraham.
In 927 AD, one of the monastery's monks, known as Moses of Nisibis, traveled to Baghdad to ask the Abbasid caliph Al-Muqtadir to grant tax exemption to the monasteries. Moses then traveled through Syria region and Mesopotamia in search of manuscripts. After three years of traveling, he returned to Egypt, bringing with him 250 Syriac manuscript. This made of the Syrian Monastery a prosperous and important facility, possessing many artistic treasures and a library rich in Syriac texts.
Inside the monastery, there is a large door known as, the Door of Prophecies or Gate of Prophecies, that features symbolic diagrams depicting the past and the future of the Christian faith through the eyes of Christian monks of the tenth century.
Medieval history[edit]
Based on a census taken by Mawhub ibn Mansur ibn Mufarrig, the co-author of the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, the Syrian Monastery had some sixty monks in 1088 AD. It was the third at the time in the Nitrian Desert, after the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great and the Monastery of Saint John the Dwarf.
In the middle of the twelfth century, the Syrian Monastery witnessed a period of trouble, when no Syrian priest was present. However, in 2000 an inscription from 1285/1286 was found, "which recorded building or other activities in the Monastery".[1] This may have reflected an influx of Syrian refugees in the 1250s. In the fourteenth century, the monastery was decimated by the plague. When a monk named Moses from the Monastery of Mar Gabriel in Tur Abdin visited the monastery in 1413 AD, he found only one remaining Syrian monk.
Towards the end of the fifteenth century, the Patriarch of Antioch visited the Syrian Monastery, granting it many privileges and donations, in order to restore it to its former glory. However, Egyptian monks continued to populate the monastery and, by 1516 AD, only 18 out of 43 monks were Syrian. By the time of Pope Gabriel VII of Alexandria, who himself had been a monk at the Syrian Monastery, it was able to supply ten monks to the Monastery of Saint Paul the Anchorite and twenty to the Monastery of Saint Anthony in the Eastern Desert when those two communities were damaged by Bedouin raids.
In the seventeenth century, western travelers from France, Germany and England visited the monastery and reported that there were two churches, one for the Syrians and one for the Egyptians (Copts). They also mention a miraculous Tree of Saint Ephrem. According to tradition, Saint Ephrem was a fourth-century Syrian theologian and ascetic from Nisibis. He sought to meet the holy monk Saint Pishoy, and thus came to the monastic centers of Scetes. When the two men met, they were unable to communicate because Ephrem spoke only Syriac. Yet, suddenly and miraculously, Saint Pishoy began to express himself in that language, enabling his visitor to understand him. During this exchange, it is said that Saint Ephrem leaned his staff against the door of the hermitage and all at once it became rooted and even sprouted foliage. Near the church of the Holy Virgin, monks will continue to point out even today this tamarind, miraculously born from Ephrem's staff.
When Peter Heyling,[2] a Lutheran missionary from Lübeck, and Yusuf Simaan Assemani, a Lebanese envoy of Pope Clement XI of Rome, visited the Syrian monastery between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries, they found no Syrian monks living in it. The latter managed to acquire forty precious manuscripts from the monastery's library, which are kept today in the Vatican Library.
Modern history[edit]
Between 1839 and 1851, the British Museum in London was able to procure about five hundred Syriac manuscripts from the monastery's library, concerned not only with religious topics, but also with philosophy and literature. Famous visitors to the monastery during this time included Lansing (1862), Chester (1873), Junkers (1875), Jullien (1881) and Butler (1883).
The manuscripts found in the Syrian monastery inspired intense research on the Syriac language and culture, for until that time, many classical texts from Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, Hippocrates and Galen were known to Western scholars only in their thirteenth-century Latin translations. Even these were often translations from earlier Arabic sources. These documents are the oldest copies of important Greek classical texts, with some dating back to the fifth century.
Today, the Syrian monastery provides a great opportunity to study the development of Coptic wall painting. Between 1991 and 1999, several segments of wall paintings layered on top of each other were uncovered in the Church of the Holy Virgin and the Chapel of the Forty-Nine Martyrs, dating from between the seventh and the thirteenth centuries. There is currently an ongoing project to uncover, restore and conserve wall paintings within the monastery.
The monastery is enclosed by a large wall, built towards the end of the ninth century, and whose height varies between 9.5 and 11.5 meters. The monastery also includes a keep (tower) and a refectory. The five churches inside the monastery are named after the Virgin Mary (2 of the churches), the Forty-Nine Martyrs, Saints Honnos and Marutha, and Saint John the Dwarf.
Popes from the Syrian Monastery[edit]
Pope Gabriel VII (1525–1570)
Pope Shenouda III (1971–2012)
Abbot[edit]
As of 2013[update] the abbot of the monastery was Bishop Mattheos (Matthew).

Q: Can every function $f$ be written as the limit of simple functions? Actually, I have ever posted about this theorem.
However, the reason why I asked this is I want to make sure about this theorem.

In my textbook referred, (I copied the theorem exactly same as the textbook because my poor English can change the original theorem),
$(4.13)$ Theorem

*

*Every function $f$ can be written as the limit of a sequence $\{f_k\}$ of simple functions.

*If $f\ge0$, the sequence can be chosen to increase to $f$, that is, chosen such that $f_k \le f_{k+1}$ for every $k$.

*If the function $f$ in either (i) or (ii) is measurable, then the $f_k$ can be chosen to be measurable.

However, my professor wrote on the board,
$f \geqslant 0$: mble $\Rightarrow$ $\exists$ simple function $f_k \nearrow f$.

I think $f$ need not be nonnegative. Should it be nonnegative like professor wrote?

(Add. Simple function's definition)
The characteristic function, $\chi_E(\mathbf{x})$, of a set $E\in\Bbb{R}^n$ is defined by $$\chi_E(\mathbf{x})=\cases{1\quad \text{if } \mathbf{x}\in E \\ 0\quad\text{if } \mathbf{x} \notin E}.$$
Clearly, $\chi_E$ is measurable if and only if $E$ is measurable. $\chi_E$ is an example of what is called a simple function: a simple function is one which assumes only a finite number of values, all of which are finite. If $f$ is a simple function taking (distinct) values $a_1, \cdots, a_N$ on (disjoint) sets $E_1, \cdots, E_N$, then $$f(\mathbf{x})=\sum^N_{k=1} a_k\chi_{E_k}(\mathbf{x})$$

A: If your definition of simple function does not allow infinite values, then you clearly can have a function with a single point mapped to $-\infty$ that is never bounded below by any simple function.

He inhaled it. Deep and long, dragging the white powder through his nostrils and into his lungs. His head snapped back, arching his spine as the blood rushed into his head, killing all inhibition and drowning common sense. He felt invincible.
His eyes flew open as he screamed. A scream of violent pleasure, of chemical-induced euphoria and blind ecstasy. He felt powerful, he could headbutt a tank and dent it, he could walk to the moon if he wanted. This was the state of excitement that most men craved that made them resort to chemicals. He wasn't most men though, this was not where he was going to.
With fidgety hands, he used his credit card to arrange his iniquity in one single line. He sniffed again and again his head snapped back. Not yet there. He arranged another line and sniffed again. There. His head slowly returned to its normal position and his hands ceased to shake. His eyes were focused. He was calm. This was it.
This was where he wanted, no needed to be. Slowly, he lifted his hands to his face and stared at the tools he had allowed his demons to wield. One tear at a time, he caved underneath the burden of his existence. How did he let himself get so low? Where was the future that youth had promised?
As he gently sobbed, he knew that this was what he yearned for, this was worth the price that he was going to pay. One moment of transcendent lucidity, away from the distractions and repetitive routine that plagued his everyday life. In that moment, he was free, he was weightless. He smiled.
They say to destroy the things that destroy us.
When the thing destroying you is yourself?
