This week, I am very excited to tell you about an upcoming and unique program that will take the written word to a whole new level. Within the coming weeks, a new online, book review show will begin airing right here at NewsOne.com, and if you think it's going to be some boring, traditional program where two old dudes with pipes sit by a fireside and chat about War and Peace, then you are definitely in for a shock.
The Book Look is an engaging and fast-paced video segment that tackles the latest in books and book news relevant to our community. The weekly program is hosted by beautiful book-lover and 2011 Miss Black America-Baltimore, Alexandra Morton. It also features original music by talented and Atlanta-based artist/producer, Zion Birdsong.
With its music, humor and entertainment value, The Book Look is unlike any other show on the Web and remember, episodes will be available here on AALBC.com! So get ready to look at books in a whole different light. As a teaser, I've included the show's 30-second opening below.
Tell us how much you like Alexandra Morton.


Perhaps there is some truth in that statement. A retreat – in whatever form fits a law firm's culture – is essential for the firm to move forward and be successful. Law firm retreats provide the opportunity to "press pause," assess where the firm has been and carve out a plan for the future. A retreat offers a place where attorneys can connect on a personal level and form stronger bonds, benefitting the law firm, and – ultimately – the firm's clients.
According to Albert Einstein, insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We are all guilty of getting in a rut or becoming overly confident about the way we do things, but frequently, we find that the way we "have always done it" is not netting the results we want.
Assessing our past – the good, bad and ugly – in a collaborative environment can help teams identify what needs to change and which strategies should be repeated. At times, it can also uncover hidden talents among staff. This kind of assessment takes time, though, and especially given the distraction of iPhones, Apple Watches and laptops, a genuinely thoughtful discussion can't happen over a rushed lunch. For a meaningful analysis to occur, law firms need to make the time to focus. A retreat needn't be held at an expensive offsite venue – although offsite helps – but will require the commitment and focus of everyone involved, no matter where it takes place.
In today's content-rich environment, a retreat can be the perfect opportunity to share stories from your daily experiences with your clients. Did someone in the firm win a significant case? Did a marketing or business development strategy work? Did a case not go the way the attorney had wanted? What were the tactics that worked? What didn't work? An excellent case study may be revealed, providing additional fodder for marketing purposes.
To make the most of the event, involve the marketing team in planning and executing the retreat. They see the firm from a different angle and can use the time to gather fresh ideas for how to better market the firm.
While most retreats need to include sessions about the firm's financial health, try taking a step away from the expected and using the time to offer marketing- and business development-focused training sessions for your attorneys. Many attorneys need help with figuring out how to use social media effectively, such as LinkedIn for professional purposes. Others will want to learn how to become more effective networkers. Those associates you've seen slurping their soup? Consider holding a fun but informative etiquette training session.
Plan the types of breakout sessions that will help the firm reach its goals, but be sure to make them lively and enjoyable.
Don't forget the fun factor. A retreat is a time for firm attorneys and staff to relate to each other as people, share fun experiences and find out what they have in common. Do something unexpected and different. You may just find those fantastic business ideas being hatched once you're outside a conference room!
At Jaffe, our retreats focus on having fun and getting to know each other better, with serious discussions about the future of our firm sprinkled in, but we always push ourselves out of our comfort zones. Our retreats have included ghost tours, zip lining and spotting alligators on swamp tours. While this represents time away from the office, we discuss client work and come up with new ideas. We have all benefitted from the collaborative spirit that is fostered during this time, and our clients have, too.
If you want to discuss ideas about how to make the most of your law firm's next retreat, contact me at sholtzman@jaffepr.com.

Many workplaces today are fraught with stress and tension, especially when tight deadlines are a regular problem and seem to always be looming overhead.
Low employee morale may be a common problem. But it doesn't have to be one that affects your team's productivity, and it doesn't have to be a constant issue in your work environment.
When it comes to boosting employee morale, it's really the leaders of the workplace and those with organizational leadership skills and degrees that need to step up and work to fix things.
Boosting morale can seem difficult at first, but there are a variety of methods that have been proven to work that can be employed, all of which are simple and easy to implement.
Special events in your employees' lives like birthdays, weddings and children being born are major events in the lives of your staff members. To boost morale and keep it up, celebrating these special events in their lives is incredibly important.
You don't have to go nuts, but something as simple as a celebratory birthday cake or making a display of presenting a gift to an employee who just got married will show that you care about your employees, and value them as more than just cogs in the machine.
Like recognizing special events in the personal lives of your employees, it's important to reward your team when they work hard and meet goals set out for them. The way you reward your team is really up to you, and what you think is appropriate.
Ordering a pizza might be appropriate for one office, while taking the staff out for an expensive meal or surprising them with tickets to a sporting event could be more appropriate for executive teams.
The exact reward doesn't matter as much as the fact that you're letting your employees know that you appreciate their hard work.
Making sure your team has the ability to speak their mind all the time is essential. Once your employees know they won't be ridiculed or put-down for "bad" ideas, you might be surprised how employees that were once somewhat quiet become vocal, valuable members of your team.
You'll also likely see a decrease in infighting among small teams that regularly work together to get projects done on a tight schedule.
Along with keeping an open dialogue, it's also important to let your staff members know that shutting other employees' ideas down or being negative in an inappropriate manner simply won't be tolerated in your workplace.
Most leaders claim to listen to their employees, but are often just waiting for their turn to speak.
Actually listening to your employees is a must. You may be the boss, but workers notice when you aren't paying attention, and over time, it can be demoralizing.

Last year, the Internet Society unveiled the 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to Our Digital Future. The interactive report identifies the drivers affecting tomorrow's Internet and their impact on Media & Society, Digital Divides, and Personal Rights & Freedoms. We interviewed Payal Malik to hear her perspective on the forces shaping the Internet's future.
Payal Malik is the Economics Adviser and Head of the Economics Division (Chief Economist) at the Competition Commission of India. She is on secondment from the University of Delhi, where she is an associate professor of Economics. Her areas of expertise are competition law, policy and regulation. She has many years of economic consulting experience in network industries such as power and telecommunication, information and communication technologies (ICTs), innovation systems, and infrastructure. She was previously a senior research fellow at LIRNEasia and a senior consultant at the Center for Infrastructure and Regulation, National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), India. At NCAER she was a lead researcher on various infrastructure development projects, including telecoms, electricity, highways, and water and sanitation. She was also on the team that drafted the Electricity Act of India, ushering competition into the sector.
The Internet Society: This year we're focusing our annual Internet Futures report on consolidation in the Internet economy. We're specifically investigating vertical and horizontal consolidation trends in and across the access, services and application layers of the Internet respectively. Have you noticed any trends in this regard?
You've long worked on competition issues in various network industries, including telecoms. How has technology's role in societies changed in the time since you've been working in this field? Have you perceived a backlash against the tech industry in India (e.g., Facebook and Free Basics)?
The technology has changed drastically especially in case of the telecom sector. With the advent of Jio (a new entrant), the total telecom subscribers in India (936 million in March 2016) increased by a massive 28% to 1,202.22 million in March 2018. Further, the prices of telecom services declined significantly and data consumption per month increased by 924%. The growth of Big Data has led to innovation, the development of new sectors, and the penetration of technology even in case of traditional sectors like education and health. The rise of Big Data has also created issues of privacy, data monopolisation, etc.
Severe backlash was witnessed against Facebook's Free Basics services in the country and the same was banned in 2016. Consequently, net neutrality rules were notified in 2018 that prevented "any form of discrimination or interference" with data, including "blocking, degrading, slowing down, or granting preferential speeds or treatment to any content." The view of the telecom regulator was that competition alone will not be sufficient to address the problem of telecom firms becoming gatekeepers to the Internet and strong ex-ante rules are required to regulate the behaviour of infrastructure firms such that it acts as a non-discriminatory platform. The issue of data localisation is now gaining currency in India and there seems to be some protectionist undercurrents to the whole issue.
Does this the trend impact India, or is more of a global issue?
Digital economy by its very nature is such that effects will inevitably cross state-nation boundaries and India, being an open economy, does feel the impact. Technological advances in other jurisdictions percolate to India, leading to innovation within the country, complementing the existing innovation ecosystem. We also recognise the challenges concerning Big Data and consumer privacy in the competition realm, especially as we have more players entering local markets. To address such conflicting issues we are trying to find ways and means to balance user privacy and technological innovation. We are in process of drafting privacy law which may be finalised soon and become an Act of the Parliament.
What makes the technology sector different when it comes to competition regulation?
The technology sector is different than other sectors as there are numerous relevant markets having multiple sides, each with specific competition dynamics. This makes the delineation of relevant market difficult. Further, markets are such that given market at one point in time mutates into another through the exploitation of complementarities. Therefore, a nuanced assessment has to be adopted by taking into account the facts, market, and technology in question. With the advent of Big Data in digital markets, data-rich entities are able to generate more user data with the help of feedback and monetisation loops. This leads to concerns of abuse of market power, algorithms, and collusions, etc.
As a competition regulator, how do you balance the need to not hamper innovation with the need for promoting competition?
When the cases involving dynamic competition, the Competition Commission tries to strike a balance between short-term static efficiencies and the longer-term gains that arise from innovation. Assessing technology sector issues requires an understanding of the underlying technology and a comprehensive knowledge of market developments. We're also very aware of the fact that a given market at one point in time might mutate into another through the exploitation of complementarities. Further, during the assessment, we don't emphasise the fact that one firm has entrenched market power in a particular industry. This is because taking such a stance would damage incentives to innovate, and would be a denial of the realities of market preferences. A nuanced assessment, based on the facts of the case and the market and technology in question, is therefore the strategy that the Commission has adopted in the analysis of antitrust cases involving digital economies in India.
Germany recently announced plans to try to curb digital dominance using competition law. Have you noticed any trends when it comes to other competition authorities' responses to tech dominance around the world, and particularly how they are defining relevant markets? How do they differ between regions?
We do keep a track of international developments taking place in field of digital economy. Developed economies across the globe have now stepped in for curtailing digital monopolies, which may be a consequence of the economic realities of their countries, however given the peculiarities of each country these issues may have a local context. As far as defining a relevant market is concerned, we do consider definitions defined by other jurisdictions. We feel that Germany and France have adopted an aggressive approach to prevent digital dominance, which India cannot adopt at present time when digital markets are at their evolving stage. With the help of complementary laws, we hope to create a level playing field for digital players in India, including startups.
Is competition law the best solution to these consolidation problems?
Yes, we do believe competition law is the best solution for consolidation problems. But there is a possibility that traditional asset/turnover criteria may fail to capture potentially anti-competitive transactions in the tech sector. Some transactions in this market may fall below turnover-based thresholds because the target's products are offered for free, or have yet to come to market, and generate little turnover. In such instances, the target's value may not best be correlated to its sales. The value of the target's sales is a rather poor indicator of the merger's significance for competition. Thus, asset/turnover-based notification thresholds may have a 'blind spot' if relied on alone. Therefore, thresholds levels must be modified to take these blind spots into account.
Is there potential in data portability as a way of countering data effects and addressing consolidation concerns?
Data portability allows users to receive their data back in a format that is conducive to reuse with another service. The purpose of data portability is to promote interoperability between systems and to give greater choice and control to the user with respect to their data held by other entities. The aim is also to create a level playing field for newly established service providers that wish to take on incumbents, but are unable to do so because of the significant barriers posed by lock-in and network effects. In line with the EU's GDPR, Indian Data Protection Bill also gives right to data portability to users. This is important as we do believe data portability has the potential to counter data effects.
Besides the potential negative implications related to digital dominance, what are your fears for the future of the Internet?
The Internet has undoubtedly revolutionised the way people shop, work, socialise, entertain themselves, etc. It has had some very serious consequences on the democratic edifices of countries with the ability of the Internet to spread misinformation and changing people's behaviours and preferences. Second, I will be very worried if perfect price discrimination is implementable based on the individual customer data that digital monopolies have, as this will lead to killing of the positive impact of competition in technology markets. Last, though there is no reason to believe chilling of innovation maybe the final nail in the coffin. But I think that is too apocalyptical as innovation is highly contestable.
I hope the Internet will continue to develop new ideas, increase entrepreneurship, help make consumers' lives easier, bring in transparency in terms of prices and quality, reduce intermediaries in supply chain, help transform societies, etc. For all this to happen, innovation needs to be protected and the government and competition regulators are aware of this need.

By now, everyone surely knows about the IMU student who made a sexist and insensitive comment following the death of local celebrity, Emily Kong.
Just yesterday (12 March 2019), we learnt that IMU is holding a disciplinary hearing to investigate their student who made the ignorant comment. They also mentioned that the student has violated a social media policy which IMU initiated in 2012/2013.
It looks like we've got to wait until the investigations are over!
On that note, we hope that once the investigations are over, IMU will be able to come up with an apt solution for this matter.

Live United and Protect HBCUs
As a third-generation HBCU graduate, I am deeply disturbed and angered to learn about the threats sent to Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country this week — just as we began to celebrate Black History Month.
I am a proud alumna of Spelman College, and my grandmother never would have earned a Master's from Columbia Teachers College in 1947 had it not been for the education she first received at Winston-Salem State University. She planted the seeds for my sister and I, and we were both proud to continue our family legacy, attending Spelman College and both earning doctorates.
HBCUs are a powerful part of Black history — and thus, a part of our shared American history — both because of the opportunities that they afforded Black people when higher education was often out of our reach, as well as the communities they build that continue to span generations and state lines.
It is critical that we protect the history and legacies of generations to come. As we face ongoing and new challenges to racial equity in our country, all of us have a role to play in confronting hatred that seeks to threaten our lived experiences.
Each of us has the power to put an end to this type of bigotry and speak our truth.
I invite HBCU grads to share their name, HBCU attended, and how its impact has made a generational and long-lasting difference in your life. If you didn't attend a HBCU, you can still stand with us and show your support. We are living testaments to the power of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and they are needed now more than ever.

Stop the Millennials Rubbish !
Today "Millennials" are in every marketeer's mouth and briefs. After the Baby Boomers, the Generation X, Y, Z... "Millennials" are the next big thing. Ignore them and your Brand is doomed. Yet, this segmentation is flawed and dangerous. At Brand Reveal we show you why. And the way out.
But what are exactly "Millennials" ? Also known as the generation "Y", Millennials are the generation born between the mid 1980's to early 2000's. In other words, these are people between 15 to 35 years of age today. Wow. This is a huge age bracket. And this is where the "Millennial Rubbish" starts.
30 to 35 years old are the years where the first children are born, and with a change of perspective in life and values.
The above is by no means an extensive segmentation, and we did not even considered gender segmentation! But it shows that the 15 - 35 years old generation is extremely varied, with many expressions and needs that go far beyond the usual "connected-hipster-who-wants-to-make-an-immediate-impact-and-wants-it-all-with-no-commitment" we are served in every marketing forum.
To put the current 15 -35 years old generation in a common "Millennial" bag is appealing because we love shortcuts, but the Millennials expression should be BANNED from briefs : it is inaccurate and flawed. Instead, every marketeer who seriously puts consumers at the heart of his/her brand should spend time and care to describe its audience by demographics, attitudes, lifestyle, consumption behaviour, needs and motivations. Every brand marketeer should walk in the shoes of his / her target.
If you run this exercise, you will go far far beyond the current classic clichés and unlock insights that will allow your brand to echo in sync with its intended audience. Avoid this deep dive into your consumers hearts and mind and run the peril of producing ephemeral hipe, or worse, disconnected propositions which will cost you a lot.
In true fairness though, the Millennial conversation has triggered valuable learning on the impact of technologies and social media which are not put into question. I love my Facebook and I'm 50. So are Millennials that special ? However the case against target audience over simplification remains valid given the life stages variety.
So do yourself a favour : understand who exactly your brand wants to speak to and avoid over simplification. Next time any agency comes with a "Millennials" proposal, do challenge them. Your brand deserves a healthy discussion on its target audience.

David Allen announces 'Charity of the Year' grand total for Great North Air Ambulance Service
[D]avid Allen, a local accountancy and business services firm, launched their charity partnership with Great North Air Ambulance Service in September 2016. Following a full calendar of events the team at David Allen are delighted to announce the grand total raised of £27,119!
The partnership, was launched after the firm raised more than £23,000 for two local hospices during the first year of launching its Charity of the Year initiative.
David Allen, Managing Partner said: "We recognise the importance of supporting the local community in which we live and work. The GNAAS are saving lives across our county and I am really chuffed that we have raised more than £27,000 for such a fantastic cause. I am proud that our Charity of the Year initiative continues to generate such a fantastic amount of money for local charities to benefit from and I would like to thank all of those individuals, businesses and professionals who have supported us during the last year.
Grahame Pickering MBE, Chief Executive from GNAAS: "We are absolutely delighted with the amount of money raised by the team at David Allen. Their fundraising activities have been varied and fun and it's been wonderful to see the whole team get so involved. The passion and enthusiasm shown by everybody is admirable and they have been an absolute pleasure to work alongside. The money raised will make a real difference to the patients that we care for in their time of need, which simply would not be possible without the support of the local community and businesses such as David Allen."
The Great North Air Ambulance Service is completely reliant on donations to survive. Last year, it attended 354 incidents in Cumbria alone. To find out more, please visit www.gnaas.com.
Each year David Allen will work with a nominated charity in order to give something back and help boost funding for these much valued services.

As to be expected from the strongest man alive Kazmaier would train intensely; improving his dead lift, squat and bench press twice a week. He would adopt a heavy/light strategy with regards to weights training; with his first bench press workout of the week always involving a heavy weight which he would then balance with a light weight during his second bench press workout of the week. However, regardless of whether he was working with a heavy or light weight or whether he was practicing his squats, bench press or dead lift routine Kazmaier would always carry out a long, exhausting workout! For instance, a typical Kazmaier bench press workout would involve rapidly lifting a range of 225lbs to 550lbs weights off the floor for over 160 repetitions; meaning that in each workout Kazmaier would lift approximately 66,950 pounds!
Similarly, from a nutritional perspective Kazmaier's mantra was eat big! Although Kazmaier has never confirmed whether he followed a steadfast strongman diet regime, there are countless tales of him drinking a gallon of milk in a single sitting, blindsiding buffets in restaurants and even eating a thousand goldfish in an eating competition in order to win a $300 cash prize.

What Is Ivanola Anti Aging Face Serum?
Ivanola Skin Care is an anti-aging serum meant to fight signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and crow's feet. The manufacturer claims that effects can be felt after about 28 days of continuous use as directed. Although the manufacture is not a very well known skincare brand in the market.
The price is not published online but customers can request a trial of the serum and test the product for up to 14 days. Those who do not return the product on time are subject to paying the full price of $80 and are enrolled in an auto-refill program.
Ivanola Skin Care is manufactured in the USA.
Ivanola Anti Aging Face Serum – Does It Really Work?
The product claims it can diminish and prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging when it is used as directed. The manufacturer also states that this product is recommended by dermatologists.
What Are The Ingredients In Ivanola Anti Aging Face Serum?
Unlike most products, the ingredients list of this serum is not properly listed. In fact, their site indicates only one ingredient—peptides. According to their site, these peptides have the same component as the amino acids in our skin. Because of this, these peptides can help in rebuilding damaged skin cells that are often associated with signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. However, the company did not present any study that can prove this claim. They also did not specify which type of peptides are used in the product.
Cleanse your skin first. After rinsing off your cleanser, pat your skin dry using a soft towel.
Apply the serum in a gentle tapping manner in your face and neck, focusing on the eye area.
This product helps in reduction of wrinkles.
A list of key ingredients is available online. However, the company does not provide the complete list of ingredients, making it difficult for the users to determine whether or not the product contains a substance that they are allergic to.
Ingredient amounts are not listed.
Customers who do not return the product on time are charged the full cost of $80 and enrolled to an automatic refill program.
Conclusive data that backs the anti-aging claims made by the manufacturer is not specified on websites about the product.
The complete list of ingredients is not provided. There are also varying information about what substances the product contains.
Ivanola Skin Care states that it can fight the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, and provide results within 28 days. Still, the serum's manufacturer does not mention conclusive evidence that proves these claims, or studies that may have been conducted on the serum.
Possible customers can test the serum themselves for up to 14 days. Unfortunately, those who do not return the serum within the allotted period are subject to charges of $80, and are enrolled in an automatic subscription unless they opt out. In addition, little is known about the manufacturer's other possible products.
In addition, accurate customer reviews are difficult to find online. The list of ingredients for the serum is online, but does not include inactive ingredients and amounts of main ingredients.

Lubomír Hora (* 1946, Brno - 2012, Mnichov) je vystudovaný chemik, sklář a designér, žijící od roku 1968 v Německu.

Život a dílo
Lubomír Hora v letech 1961-1965 vystudoval jadernou chemii na Českém vysokém učení technickém v Praze a v letech 1965-1968 chemii na Technické univerzitě v Bratislavě. Kromě semináře o tvarování skla nad kahanem neměl jinou zkušenost v práci se sklem. Po sovětské okupaci roku 1968 emigroval do Německa a usadil se v Mnichově, kde si zřídil sklářský ateliér. Lubomír Hora nikdy neztratil kontakt s českým sklářstvím. Jeho mladší bratr Petr Hora byl vedoucím mistrem sklářské huti ve Škrdlovicích a má tam i vlastní studio.

Roku 1976 navázal kontakty s prof. L. Gangkofnerem na Akademii výtvarných umění v Mnichově. V letech 1977-1999 byl externím spolupracovníkem Německého muzea v Mnichově jako umělecký řemeslník-foukač skla.

Na počátku své sklářské tvorby používal borosilikátové sklo Duran, které formoval nad kahanem. Jako vystudovaný chemik byl dobře obeznámen s oxidy kovů používanými při barvení skla. Od roku 1980 začal používat i horké sklo tavené v peci a roku 1983 si v Mnichově založil Studio Ofen s vlastní sklářskou pecí. Věnuje se také studeným technikám pískování, rytí, leptání a malování na skle. Inspiraci nachází v denním životě a svou tvorbou reaguje na tlaky, jimž je člověk vystaven, a na konflikty spojené s lidskou existencí. V jeho studiu se učil sklářským technikám také John Ditchfield.

Vystavoval na skupinových výstavách od roku 1977. Lubomír Hora zemřel náhle a nečekaně v roce 2012.

2018 Season MLB Betting Predictions: Total Wins Team
Written by Jordan Walters on March 2, 2018
MLB Betting News
The 2018 season starts in less than a month – March 29, to be exact, which means you need to start planning your MLB Betting strategy. Does that seem early to you? It should. It's the earliest starting date in the sport's history, excluding international openers. The reason is that as the sport's new labor contract each team's 162 games were scheduled over 186 days, up from 183. So, in order to add four more days off, the overall schedule had to be lengthened a bit. March 29 will also be the first time since the 1968 season — the last year before the American and National Leagues split into divisions — that every team will play on Opening Day. This will be just the 12th season to start on a Thursday following 1901-04, 1907, 1912, 1959, 1973-74, 1976 and 2011. For now, let's check the latest MLB Odds on Total Wins while making some predictions for several teams.

I honestly don't recommend betting on win totals until right before the season begins. For example, what if you bet on the Los Angeles Dodgers going over their total and Clayton Kershaw suffers a season-ending shoulder injury during spring training? It always pays to wait in case of major injury. Plus, this year there are still some big-name free agents out there unsigned who could make the difference in a total going over or under. Here are some interesting totals from Mybookie.ag.
Boston Red Sox (91.5)
Boston won 93 games last year and the AL East Division for the second year in a row but was knocked off in the ALDS for the second straight year. Pretty impressive win total in 2017 considering the Sox ranked 27th in the majors in home runs and only got 74.2 innings pitched from presumed ace David Price. The former Cy Young winner is in the best shape of his life, so he claims, and has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. In addition, the Sox added the best free-agent slugger on the market in J.D. Martinez. He provides the power the team needs and will DH mostly. Last season, Martinez hit 45 homers and slugged .690 in 119 games for the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks. He got particularly hot after a midseason trade to Arizona, hitting 29 homers in only 62 games. Martinez also serves as a counterpunch to the rival New York Yankees' offseason trade for slugger Giancarlo Stanton and turns the AL East into a virtual dead heat. The only question about Boston is new manager Alex Cora. I like the over for this total.
Washington Nationals (93.5)
Washington won 97 games last year and the NL East for the second time in three seasons. It was favored in the NLDS but collapsed at home in Game 5 and lost to the Cubs. This franchise still hasn't won a playoff series since moving from Montreal to Washington. This could be the year. The Nationals have arguably the best pitcher in baseball in Max Scherzer, who has won the past two NL Cy Youngs to go with the AL Cy Young he won earlier this decade in Detroit. Stephen Strasburg is perhaps the best No. 2 in baseball, and Gio Gonzalez a great No. 3. The Nats also reportedly are interested in signing former Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, who remains out there in free agency. That would easily give Washington the best rotation in baseball. The team might go all-in this year because superstar outfielder Bryce Harper will be a free agent next summer. Also, keep in mind that the Nats lost outfielder and leadoff hitter left fielder Adam Eaton early last season with a knee injury but he has fully recovered. He's a terrific all-around player. No holes on this team under new manager Dave Martinez. I like over here.
Miami Marlins (64)
Most every year there's a 100-loss team in the majors. That means a maximum of 62 wins. Yet the Marlins are given a total of 64? Can you even name me five Marlins players? Of course, new ownership, led by Derek Jeter, staged a massive fire sale this offseason, trading superstar outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, last year's MLB home-run leader, to the Yankees, as well as two other excellent outfielders, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, to the Brewers and Cardinals, respectively. All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon was sent to Seattle. Your projected Miami lineup right now is Cameron Maybin, Martin Prado, Starlin Castro (likely to be traded at some point in 2018), Justin Bour, JT Realmuto (also likely to be traded), Derek Dietrich, Lewis Brinson and JT Riddle. Their ace? Dan Straily. Seriously, how many games will the Marlins be favored in this season? 25? The Nationals might go unbeaten against their division rivals (one reason I like the over). Miami isn't winning more than 60 games. Go under, and feel sorry for Manager Don Mattingly.

How the simplest of jobs can be so hard!
A quick oil change on my modern Triumph today turned into a half day job.
with no luck. As a last straw and increasingly nervous that I would mangle the filter further I modified my wrench tool and tech screwed it to the filter. Used my long handled torque wrench and hey- presto!
Having a quiet beer to celebrate before finishing the job.
61 BSA Super Rocket (cafe).

Re: How the simplest of jobs can be so hard!
They can't half get a grip sometimes!
More than once over the years I've had to hammer a big screwdriver straight through one to use as a lever.
Not ideal, but had to be done!
No room for that method unfortunately.
Just finished cleaning oil from every hand and power tool in the shed.
Was that filter on there from new?
I also have had to use the screwdriver method.
I use a pretty aggressive long handled chain wrench on occasions - but you do need room to swing it.
The ones I do up tightest sit inside the sump on big block Guzzis. I like to feel sure they won't come off and float about in there.
Conversely, who else but the Mo Co would give you the option of buying one with a chrome plated finish?
I think this is the same filter as HD?
With my rHonda it's nigh on impossible to get to the spin on with the fairing and ex-pipes till I found this type of tool.
Got to get one of those too!
Always do my own oils so only myself to blame and yes I do smear the seal with a little oil.
Even with Musky's tool I would not have had room to grasp the mongrel.
Some filters come with a central exposed nut to loosen but I reckon that would risk tearing off the whole base if ultra tight like mine!
No one expects the Spanish Inquision!
I had the same problem with my Daytona 955i filter recently.
I'll be purchasing one of those beasts ASAP.
Have a similar tool a so called "Filter Spider", works perfect!
been there a few times with customers bikes, at first I use standard socket with cups, when that fails, after it should, sometimes an air gun forwards and back sometimes jogs undone. failing that, strap wrench, chain strap then its a screwdriver .
If you want a nightmare Triumph are your foe. a couple of times rear wheel removal and chain adjustment are a nightmare on the Alloy swing arm models with the 50mm eccentric axle mount/chain adjuster units. theory is good, nip up and adjust with large hexagon drive in hexagon in adjuster. trouble is, as not done very often and no lube used on the mating parts, the water acts as a glue and oxidisation between both alloy parts gets glued together like calcium on taps. I was sat with a customer for two hours one day trying to remove and adjust his chain, a copper and hide hammer were used in the end along with emery cloth and grease on re assembly.


Well done to the 25 Cumbernauld AAC athletes who took part in the Helix 2k Junior ParkRun this morning. Alasdair McMonagle was the first athlete home and set a new PB of 6.50 and this was one of 12 PBs on the day from Cumbernauld AAC athletes. Full results can be found here. Current Club RR standings can be found here – RR CHAMPS. Pictured below, some of the young athletes unwind after the race.


Exciting Update! As we draw ever closer to publication of my upcoming novel, MIST FALCON: BOOK ONE OF THE WARRIOR POET ARCHIVES, I wanted to share the finalized artwork for the book cover. A big "thank you" to Martin and the fine folks at www.busybeebookcovers.com , without whom this cover would not look nearly as cool as it does. It is so exciting to see a piece of my fictional world painted out to see.
There you have it: a snap shot teaser of MIST FALCON, BOOK ONE OF THE WARRIOR POET ARCHIVES. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to publication, and if you want to be the first to hear writing updates and receive giveaways for the book, I'd love for you to sign up over on the right. I'll stay in touch.
I am more the non- fictional reader. But have to say the cover is intriguingly interesting and drawing. The snap shot also drew on my interests. I'm looking forward to more of your book.
Thanks for your kind words Bob! MIST FALCON will be out in the next couple days. I'll post once it is officially released. Stay tuned!


At Imgur, we handle a lot of uploads. We iterate on our upload code all the time, but we can't yet break out of the restrictions of the platform we have built it on. Namely concurrency in PHP. We thought writing a new upload service in Go would be an enjoyable project since it's both a fun hackathon project, and something we would someday like to get into our production stack. We are also excited about the notion of an open source solution. We love the idea of sharing our knowledge about uploading with anyone who is interested, and making it super easy for anyone to host their own images.
In the spirit of easy deployment, we decided to make it one-click-deployable to a Heroku app. Our target users are both ourselves and site owners who want an easy way to get images on the internet. We are most proud of, and excited about, the features that utilize Go's concurrency. Thumbnails are all created in parallel and it generates URLs as a service in the background. We are also pretty excited about using Go's powerful interfaces to have configurable storage options.


Cheltenham Liberal Democrat councillors are showing their support for families in the town by becoming a major sponsor of an exciting upgrade of the Pittville Park Play Area.
The Lib Dem borough council has overseen the ambitious project and party Councillors have now contributed £500 to a crowdfunding campaign.
The donation will sit alongside thousands of pounds donated by local people and businesses which have also backed the scheme.
Cabinet member for Clean and Green Environment Councillor Chris Coleman said: "I'm delighted that Cheltenham Liberal Democrats have not only been the driving force behind this project, but that my Lib Dem colleagues on the Council have shown their commitment by making a substantial donation.
The ambitious project is being jointly funded by Cheltenham Borough Council and a crowdfunding campaign that was run by the Friends of Pittville.
It will provide an exciting play area for children and young people aged from 0 to 14 with a significantly increased capacity.
It will also see a wide range of accessible and inclusive play equipment being installed for children with a wide range of needs and abilities.
Mel Gladwin, a mother of one from Fiddlers Green Lane, said: "I'm really pleased that Cheltenham Lib Dems are donating to this exciting local cause.

Q: Restarting docker engine and keeping containers running
Docker 1.11 introduced modularization, and having containerd and runc responsible for the execution of containers.
Is there any way not to stop docker engine in such a way I will be able to change the docker configuration file, but keep the containers running?

A: The blog post accompanying the 1.11 release states that it's a big step towards seamless Engine restarts, but inferring from the post they haven't implemented this yet.

As an example, 1.11 is a huge step toward allowing Engine restarts/upgrades without restarting the containers, improving the availability of containers.

When most people think of Audi, they tend to think about the German manufacturer's Quattro all-wheel drive system and just how well it performs in winter. They also think about design, technology, safety, and that complex balance between comfort and performance. The fact is, the Audi lineup has something for everyone, and when you look at the brand's "S" models, Audi is looking directly at buyers who want to benefit from everything Audi stands for, along with an extra kick on the side.
The Audi A4 lineup was completely redesigned this year, and it was therefore to be expected that the most powerful version in the lineup (we'd love to see an RS4 again, but we'll just have to wait) has also been revamped.
Taking design cues seen on the new A4, the 2018 S4 has a more muscular design and sharper angles. It's certainly interesting that Audi managed to add a bit more sportiness and sharpness to the S4's design, all the while making the vehicle seem that much more luxurious and refined. That being said, we notice this on every new Audi model introduced this year, and there have been a lot of them.
Back to the S4, it is powered by a new 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 354 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque available at just 1,370 rpm. Having that much low-end torque means that you will never be left wanting for more, and the new S4 will respond quickly and immediately as soon as you hit the gas pedal. Although this engine is taken from the previous-generation Audi S4, it is basically all-new with over 800 modifications.
The 2018 Audi S4 reaches 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 km/h. For a vehicle with a starting base price under $60,000, that certainly is quite impressive. Power is sent to all-four wheels thanks to an 8-speed automatic transmission that reacts quicker than most drivers will ever need it to.
And as you push the engine up the revs, you will notice a distinctive growl from the four chromed exhaust tips from the engine every time the transmission changes gears which adds even more pleasure to the driving experience.
And despite all the performance offered by the S4's V6, it remains relatively fuel-efficient with an average fuel economy of 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Combined with a refined interior, plenty of interior space (362 liters of cargo space) and a host of features, the 2018 Audi S4 really does offer it all. To learn more about the 2018 Audi S4, contact us today at Glenmore Audi!

Explore new levels of performance and sophistication with the Lexus ES
by gtcontentsteam
The Lexus ES is primarily known for its unparalleled comfort and quietness, but it has evolved to become an equally capable, class-leading luxury sedan with exceptional handling and performance. This calculated transformation came about to fulfill the demands of Lexus's most discerning customers, and to also highlight the brand's dynamic driving characteristics born from the company's desire to accommodate the needs of its customers without having to be asked. This is 'omotenashi'—Lexus's unique brand of Japanese hospitality which goes above and beyond expectations.
Here are some facets of the ES which showcase the Takumi master craftsmanship that goes into the creation of every car, and how each of these key elements is proof of Lexus's attention to even the smallest details.
Smooth and Silky Ride
The Lexus ES is built on the GA-K platform, which demonstrates high torsional rigidity and a low center of gravity. The platform/powertrain combination delivers flawless, silky, and smooth ride comfort, inheriting and further enhancing the DNA of past ES models. The low placement of the driver's seat (low hip point), a fully adjustable steering wheel, and the strategic positioning of the pedals help promote the optimal seating position for the driver.
Dynamic Design, Inside and Out
Lexus designers have succeeded in creating a sleek silhouette with the ES. The exterior features a combination of a mesh pattern for Lexus's signature spindle grille, defined by a continuous flow of small "fin" shapes; the sharp, sculpted aerodynamic edges of the car's body, and newly designed headlamps with three compact LED lamps.
Inside is a customary spacious and safe cabin. The center console and armrest flow together in unity, while the upper/lower front seatbacks have been designed to allow easy operation of the controls and viewing of the monitor which are all within reach. Rear seat passenger comfort has long been a hallmark of the ES and the seventh-generation model. Despite the sleeker exterior, passengers are treated to an expansive atmosphere, in part due to the abundant legroom with the seats designed for maximum comfort and support.
To enhance the extremely quiet nature of the ES, Lexus engineers adopted the highest levels of sound absorption, sound insulation, and noise-cancelling measures. Additional features, such as noise reduction wheels and sound-insulating acoustic glass are also used in the ES. Sound produced by the engine and audio system has been precisely tuned, resulting in cabin sounds set at a frequency most comfortable to the human ear.
Seven generations of refinement
The essence of the ES is its combination of styling, performance and luxury. Blending key elements of design and performance, the ES challenges the traditional expectations of consumers. It features a sleek and bold exterior, a spacious, plush interior, and exciting driving performance, all longstanding Lexus trademarks. With the introduction of each new generation, the model continues to be refined. High-quality materials and fastidious attention to the smallest of styling details make the ES the very example of functional beauty and high quality.
Lexus engineers have created a car that, as much as possible, serves as a natural extension to the driver's body. The engineers focused especially on precisely executing the driver's inputs, immediate vehicle response, and creating a comfortable cockpit.
