£50,000 pwk Should Be Enough To Secure Robert Green | The Transfer Tavern | Where football transfer rumours fly or die!
Various sources are claiming that former West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green will sign a deal worth £50,000 a week with QPR in the near future.
The England keeper, 32, has left Upton Park as his contract expired at the end of the season and has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Tottenham, but it seems that the promise of first team football at Loftus Road as swung it for QPR.
At Spurs, Green would be challenging with the experienced Brad Friedel and would likely have no guarantee over his involvement at White Hart Lane. On the other hand, QPR are openly offering Paddy Kenny a way out of the club with Leeds United interested, so a goalkeeper was high on Mark Hughes' list for this summer.
The money is interesting though – the reported £50k a week for Green is around the same as what he was earning at West Ham, but the Hammers could only afford to offer him a pay cut. QPR's insistence on improving their defence has led to them paying fairly big money for a goalkeeper who has plenty of critics.
His famous blunder at World Cup 2010 has cast a dark shadow over his career, despite impressing enough to earn the England starting job in the first place. Green made his name at Norwich before a move to West Ham and he became a reliable shot stopper – until Clint Dempsey sent a shot bobbling his way in Rustenburg two years ago.

Can Coffee Be Healthy for Your Smile?
How many of you need a cup of coffee to start your day? Well, you're definitely not alone. In the United States, 54% of people over the age of 18 drink coffee on a regular basis. A cup of java offers a crucial burst of energy, but is it good for you? Below, we discuss the surprising health benefits of drinking a daily cup of coffee. We also explain options for removing the unsightly teeth stains that often accompany regular coffee consumption.
Drinking coffee can also help you avoid the onset of tooth decay and gum disease. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil shows that drinking black coffee can reduce the appearance of plaque. When plaque buildups on your teeth, this weakens tooth enamel and inflames the gums. Of course, the key is black coffee. Adding sugar, cream, or milk can have the opposite effect, increasing the risk of plaque buildup.

When most people imagine a veterinarian's job description, they likely picture him or her treating dogs, cats, rodents, birds, or even larger animals, such as horses, cattle, or pigs. However, due to brand new regulations at the federal level, vets will soon have to grapple with a new type of "pet" – honeybees. Given the grave state honeybees have been in for the last few decades, brought on by colony collapse disorder (CCD), it should come as no surprise that the pollinators would garner some new protections from a government whose economy depends greatly on the success of its agricultural industry.
One such veterinarian who has become used to "hive calls" is Dr. Terry Kane, a vet from Dexter, MI. While on one of these hive calls for a friend of hers, Kane explained how she always looks for various things while examining hives, specifically bee activity, brood patterns, and the number of dead bees if there are any. "You want to see an arc on a frame of capped brood, uncapped brood. Then, the pollen kind of rainbows over that, and the honey food source rainbows over that," Kane said.
Several years ago, Kane was made aware of the FDA's new regulations regarding beekeepers and their antibiotic access. "I kept bees, I love bees, and I knew about the regulations, so I put those together and became a bee vet," Kane said. Before these regulations became active in the last year, beekeepers could simply buy antibiotics from honeybee supply companies and farm stores. However, with the FDA's added sanctions, beekeepers now require approval from their vet.
According to Dr. Chris Cripps, who owns a Greenwich, NY bee supply business, these rules were put in place to counteract antibiotic resistance often seen in production animals, including honeybees. "Your doctor may not give you a prescription for antibiotics if you have a cold — that's part of it. [Vets] having to say, 'yes, these animals truly are sick, and this is a warranted need for the antibiotics' — that's a similar part of that same effort," says Cripps. So, for the time being, beekeepers must find licensed veterinarians, such as Kane and Cripps, who are certified to treat honeybees.
Echoing these concerns is the fact that most vet schools don't offer much or any honeybee education. At the same time, many vets are more than willing to learn, with Michigan specifically having 22 vets who are offering to treat honeybees. While it'll certainly be awhile before honeybees are regular patients, it is at least a step in the right direction.

• Ensure you have hurricane shutters, or 3/4-inch-thick outdoor plywood boards for each window of your home, the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Library suggests.
• Pre-drill holes in the plywood (experts recommend the holes be 18 inches apart) and keep the plywood, screws, ladder and screwdriver handy.
• The National Weather Service says you should remove any weak or dead limbs from trees and shrubs to help prevent these items from becoming projectiles in high winds.
• Also, consider building a safe room in your home that can withstand high winds and flying debris, suggests the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
It's also important to understand how your insurance may or may not help cover damage caused by a hurricane.
Keeping track of your belongings by maintaining a home inventory to assess your insurance coverage needs. A home inventory may also help facilitate the claim process if your property is damaged by a covered loss as a result of a hurricane. Your home inventory should note each item and its value. Don't forget the contents of closets, drawers and cabinets. Store your home inventory lists, photographs and video tapes in a safe place off the premises, the California Department of Insurance suggests. Update your home inventory after making any significant purchases. Keep all receipts, especially for big items such as jewelry and furs. Valuable items may need separate insurance coverage.
1. Become familiar with alternate routes. Map out routes in different directions in case travel becomes treacherous or traffic becomes too congested, Ready.gov suggests.
2. If you don't have a car, Ready.gov says you should make a plan for how you will leave if you need to evacuate. Talk with family or friends to make transportation arrangements in case of an evacuation. Your local government or aid agencies may also be able to provide assistance.
3. Plan for what you'll do with your pets, whether you'll be able to take them with you, leave them with family or friends or take them to a kennel.
4. Keep a road map in your vehicle in case you need to devise an alternate route on unfamiliar roads.
5. Prepare a bag or file with important papers, such as your homeowners insurance policy, and keep the file with you if weather forecasts include the potential for a hurricane.
• Track the storm path and projected risk areas at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/. Monitor weather conditions with a battery-powered NOAA weather radio. This will help ensure you receive the most up-to-date information, including forecasts and additional watches or warnings.
• Bring all lawn furniture, outdoor decorations, trash cans, hanging plants (and anything else that could be picked up by the wind) inside. Anchor objects that cannot be brought inside, Ready.gov suggests.
• Turn your refrigerator to its coldest setting and keep it closed, Ready.gov says, so the food won't go bad as quickly if you lose electrical power.
• Make sure all your family vehicles have at least a half-tank of gas. Ready.gov says filling stations may be closed or unable to pump gas during power outages.
They put up with a lot of flak, so why not?


Aluminium scaffolding structures are frequently used in the construction industry. Scaffolding is used for to create work platforms for a range of purposes such as carrying out repairs, cleaning windows and guttering and installing windows and roofs. Below is a guide to 3 benefits of using scaffolding.
A major benefit of using an aluminium scaffold structures when working on a site is the increased safety that they provide. When working at height, contractors can be placed at significant risk so you should not take safety for granted. Scaffolding provides a robust and level area on which contractors can carry out tasks and store their equipment and tools while working at height, which reduces the risk of falls and other accidents.
Aluminium scaffolding can allow contractors to achieve much better positioning when carrying out work at height. While a ladder can provide reach which will allow contractors to carry out their tasks, they do not offer the same level of positioning as a contractor. A contractor will generally need to keep one hand on the ladder which can reduce their ability to hold equipment or to install components. Because ladders reduce mobility, the contractor may be tempted to try and balance while they lean out which can place them at considerable risk. The large and level space created by scaffolding will eliminate these problems by enabling the contractor to move around freely and place themselves in the best possible position to complete the work. Scaffolding can also hold many workers, whereas a ladder can only hold one.
When scaffolding is used on a construction site, it can allow a contractor to access areas which would be unreachable by any other means. For example, if you need to carry out work on a building which is greater than two or three stories in height, they will struggle to reach the area using conventional ladders. Building a scaffold tower can allow a contractor to reach the areas they need to work on easily. Although erecting scaffolding can take some time, once it is installed it offers sustainable and quick access to the work area as you will not need to position and make safe multiple ladders or cherry picking equipment.
If you would like to know more about the benefits of using aluminium scaffolding or you are interested in hiring scaffolding for your worksite, you should contact a professional scaffolding contractor today.

Al Pacino reteams with director Michael Mann after their 1995 kickass film
HEAT, to tell the real-life story of the behind the scenes goings-on of one
particular episode of the CBS news magazine show "60 Minutes". Ironically,
this film seems to go on as long as three episodes of that show.

PLOT:
Cigarette company Vice-President gets fired after he disagrees with company
policy on how to produce their cigarettes. When his firm begins tossing
veiled threats towards him, the man gets angry and thinks seriously about
exposing his industry's lies about nicotine addiction to a worldwide
audience on TV's "60 Minutes". This movie documents the entire events of
this true-life historical case.

CRITIQUE:
Interesting story...great actors...well-developed characters...unique
style...do not an overall great film make. This film suffers from something
that a lot of major films from big name directors have been suffering with
over the past year or so: it runs too long and is not engrossing enough to
warrant our attention for that lengthy amount of time. It's too bad because
the story told here is definitely one that has all the elements of an
engaging drama set in place, but when spread across a canvas so vast, it
seems to lose any emotional power or deeper resonance. Another thing which
I've only recently noticed in Michael Mann's last two films is his lack of
female character involvement. It's strange because he seems to have plenty
of women in his films, but along with questionable casting calls, they do
little but stand around and appear on screen.

The main actors in this film are all in their top form, with Christopher
Plummer finally getting a decent role from which he could orchestrate his
talent. Pacino is perfect as the idealistic producer who realizes early on
that all he's truly got in his corner is "his word" and he doesn't intent on
losing it. Give the man an Oscar just for keeping his acting decibel level
on an even keel! (Hoo-hah!) And then there's Russell Crowe pulling off
another powerful performance as the pudgy whistle-blower, whose real-life
counterpart apparently commended Crowe of his portrayal (Click here to see
picture of real-life counterparts). Having said all that, the story told in
the film was really just another behind the scenes movie about an industry
and a specific "story gone bad", but nothing more dramatically effective
than that. I'm not sure if people are equating this film's greatness with
the grandeur of its actual ramifications (which eventually led to a court
ruling of approximately $250BILLION against the tobacco companies), but I
thought the drama in the film was simple and interesting, but nothing more.
I would suggest you see it if you love any of the main actors, or if the
story line is of particular interest to you, otherwise, you could wait for
video and fully appreciate the reason why fast-forward buttons were created.
C'mon Michael...how 'bout cutting out some of those lingering slo-mos for
God's sakes!!

Little Known Facts about this film and its stars:
Actor Al Pacino has dated all kinds of actresses. Besides his current
girlfriend, Mrs. Griswold herself, Beverly D'Angelo, he has reportedly
maintained relationships with Kathleen Quinlan, Diane Keaton, Debra Winger,
Penelope Ann Miller and Tuesday Weld. His dad was an insurance agent named
Salvatore Pacino and his mom, Rose Pacino, died when Al was just 22. He's
also been known to have turned down some big roles including KRAMER VS
KRAMER, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, APOCALYPSE NOW, PRETTY WOMAN, CRIMSON
TIDE (The Gene Hackman part) and STAR WARS?? (Apparently, he was offered the
role of Han Solo, which eventually went to an unknown actor named Harrison
Ford).
Actor Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand but grew up in Australia. Not
surprisingly, he has been smoking since he was 10 and acting since he was
six.
Actor Christopher Plummer's full name is Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer. He
was born in Toronto, Canada and is probably best remembered as the loveable
anal-retentive father of those nutty Von Trapp kids from 1965's THE SOUND OF
MUSIC, Captain Von Trapp.
For anyone who still doesn't know, director Michael Mann began his career as
a writer on the popular "Starsky and Hutch" TV series. His greatest TV
success came when he created and produced the even more popular "Miami Vice"
series. His feature film directorial debut was the 1981 James Caan film
THIEF.
The man who plays the Sheikh Fadlallah is in this movie is Cliff Curtis, the
same actor who played the excellent role of drug dealer Cy Coates in Martin
Scorsese's BRINGING OUT THE DEAD (6.5/10).
The real tobacco whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand says this movie took some
liberties with his story, but is essentially accurate. In one scene, the
former Brown & Williamson executive is portrayed as hitting golf balls at a
driving range while a burly man watches him. "Did that happen? No." Wigand
said. But Wigand said the movie accurately portrays the kinds of threats he
and his family faced after publicly addressing health and smoking issues in
1995. "Its fidelity to the actual facts is acceptable," Wigand said. Wigand
is in Nebraska giving speeches on his experiences. He said he is donating
his speaking fees to his nonprofit organization, Smoke-Free Kids, based in
Charleston, S.C.
This film is based on the Vanity Fair article written by Marie Brenner
entitled "The Man Who Knew Too Much".

Celina's Tuesday Forecast on KTSM 9
Google to start paying some news publishers for content
Posted: Jun 25, 2020 / 06:13 AM MDT / Updated: Jun 25, 2020 / 06:13 AM MDT
FILE – This Tuesday, July 19, 2016, file photo shows the Google logo at the company's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. Federal and state regulators in the U.S. are preparing to file antitrust lawsuits alleging Google has abused its dominance of online search and advertising to stifle competition and and boost its profits, according to a report published Friday, May 15, 2020. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
LONDON (AP) — Google says it will start paying some publishers for their news content, in a move that could pave the way for reduced tensions between the internet search giant and the beleagured news industry.
The company said Thursday that it plans to launch this year a licensing program to pay publishers for "high-quality content."
The program will start with local and national publications in Germany, Australia and Brazil, "with more to come soon," Brad Bender, vice president of product management, said in a blog post.
"This program will help participating publishers monetize their content through an enhanced storytelling experience," Bender said, describing it as a "significant step forward" in how the company will support high-quality journalism.
The program's articles will be availalble on Google's News and Discover services. Google will also pay for users to read paywalled articles.
The tech giant has been fighting the news industry's demands for compensation for years, in a battle that has taken on more urgency as the coronavirus pandemic caused advertising revenue at publishers to collapse.
In April, France's competition regulator ordered Google to pay publishers for using snippets of their content while Australia unveiled plans to make the company pay fair compensation for journalistic content siphoned from news media.
The first news companies to strike deals with Google include Germany's Der Spiegel, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Zeit, Tagesspiegel and Rheinische Post, Australia's Schwartz Media, The Conversation, Private Media and Solstice Media and Brazil's Diarios Associados and A Gazeta.


This post does not include code written in Unreal Engine – if you want to see how pointers work in Unreal Engine check out this post. In order to use pointers inside Unreal Engine you should have a basic understanding of pointers so you may avoid hours of frustration and demotivation.
For this post, I'm going to create a console application in C++ using Visual Studio and explain with simple code what pointers are.
In this post, I will first explain the above operators and then I'm going to show you what pointers really are.
Note: The default c++ console application from Visual Studio 2013 to 2015 tend to differ. In this example, both versions are covered with screenshots. However, you need to have Visual Studio 2015 in order to create Unreal Engine projects using the version 4.10 and above.
Notice the different main signatures.
The address-of operator "&" allows us to see the actual memory address which is assigned to a variable.
Note that each time you execute your program, the second output is going to change. This is because each time the compiler stores your variable in a different actual memory address. With that said, your address is more than likely to differ than mine.
Since the dereference operator returns the actual value of a particular address it's only logical to return 1 in this case. Also, notice that the address value is not the same as above but that's ok! Moreover, the above screenshot was taken from Visual Studio 2015, if you are following this example with a previous version your main function might differ but your output should be similar.
Now that these operators are clear it's time to define what a pointer really is. A pointer is essentially a variable that holds a memory address as its value. Now you might already thinkink how you can use the above operators. Let's see!
To declare a pointer you need to tell the compiler what type of pointer you want to create. That means that you need to tell the compiler, for example, that a pointer points to a memory address in which an integer value is stored.
Warning: The "*" symbol is not a dereference operator – it's just a way to declare that IntPtr is a pointer which points to an integer value.
Note: It doesn't matter if you type the asterisk next to int or in between "int" and "IntPtr" or right before "IntPtr", however in Unreal Engine official naming conventions it is suggested that you put the asterisk next to the type of pointer that you declare which is the approach we are following right now.
Since I just declared these pointers, they contain garbage addresses. This means that I need to assign a value to them in order to use them.
To sum-up pointers are variables that point to a memory address. They can be dereferenced using the dereference operator "*" to retrieve the value at the address they are pointing.
Warning: Dereferencing a pointer which points to garbage memory will crash your application / game.


A 34-year-old woman is evaluated during a follow-up visit for blood pressure control. She states that she hopes to become pregnant and would like to stop her oral contraceptive. She does not smoke, drink alcohol, or use illicit drugs. She is in a monogamous sexual relationship and has had no sexually transmitted infections. Medical history is significant for hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and depression since childhood. Medications are an oral contraceptive, lisinopril, metformin, citalopram, and acetaminophen as needed.
On physical examination, vital signs are normal. The remainder of the examination is unremarkable.
In addition to starting folic acid, which of the following medications should be stopped at this time?
The correct answer is C. Lisinopril. This item is available to MKSAP 18 subscribers as item 122 in the General Internal Medicine section. More information about MKSAP 18 is available online.
This patient should discontinue the ACE inhibitor lisinopril. Medication adjustments are an important component of preconception counseling in women who are planning pregnancy. All antihypertensive medications cross the placenta. Some antihypertensive medications are absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and, likely, renin inhibitors. Women taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs should be counseled about the associated teratogenicity throughout all trimesters, and these medications should be stopped if pregnancy is anticipated or possible. Blood pressure goals with medical therapy in patients with chronic hypertension during pregnancy are 120 to 160/80 to 105 mm Hg. However, treatment of hypertension during pregnancy is controversial. If blood pressure control is not adequate after stopping lisinopril, methyldopa and labetalol have been used safely. Calcium channel blockers (such as long-acting nifedipine) can also be used during pregnancy. Diuretics may induce oligohydramnios if initiated during pregnancy but generally can be continued if the patient was taking a diuretic preconception. Spironolactone and eplerenone should be avoided because their safety has never been proven.
Although acetaminophen is generally considered safe during pregnancy, caution is needed with the use of NSAIDs due to their effect on organogenesis during pregnancy.
A goal for preconception wellness is the absence of uncontrolled depression. Evidence shows that women who are depressed during pregnancy have worse birth outcomes. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including citalopram, fluvoxamine, and sertraline, are pregnancy category C agents that can be continued during pregnancy. An alternative to antidepressant therapy is psychotherapy, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy, which is equally as efficacious as pharmacologic therapy. In this patient who is already taking an antidepressant, it would be more important to continue therapy than to discontinue treatment.
Optimal glycemic control with a goal hemoglobin A1c value of less than 6.5% is recommended for women with diabetes mellitus who are contemplating pregnancy. Metformin is a diabetes medication deemed safe during pregnancy, as it is FDA category B. Category B denotes that animal reproduction studies have not demonstrated a fetal risk, and no controlled studies in pregnant women have shown adverse effects.
Antihypertensive medications absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy include ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and, likely, renin inhibitors.


UPDATE: Darvish says he was just joking around about the Tanaka comments and apparently both Darvish and his interpreter were laughing as he said the quotes, although as you can see below that bit of context was oddly left out by several reporters on hand.
Rangers Yu Darvish on Tanaka deal: I don't know too much about the new posting system but I think the Yankees gave him too much.
By comparison, Darvish got $56 million to sign with the Rangers two offseason ago, but Texas also had to send his old team in Japan another $51.7 million in posting fees. In two years in the majors he's thrown 401 innings with a 3.34 ERA, including a league-leading 277 strikeouts and a 2.83 ERA in 210 innings last season.
Which is why when Darvish also said today that his success–and the success of several other prominent Japanese pitchers recently–helped get Tanaka a bigger contract he's no doubt right.

Who has the power in your relationship?
Bénédicte de Dinechin - published on 05/24/17
Take this short quiz to find out!
The question of who has the power – or "who wears the pants" – in a relationship is often a thorny one. Which model rules in your marriage? Does one person decide while the other submits? Do you share decision-making? How often is there give-and-take negotiation leading up to a decision?
Negotiation: an indispensable art
"Knowing how to make decisions together is an art," French journalist Michele Longour writes in Ten Keys to Success as a Couple:
If topics such as money or leisure are sources of conflict for many couples, it is because they touch on important choices that must be made by both. A one-sided decision often alienates the spouse whose opinion is neglected: he must suffer the consequences and is hurt that he was not consulted or heard. Therein lies the offense. Often, the spouse who does not feel heard, respected, and taken into consideration tends to resist. He digs in his heels on his initial positions just to show that he exists.
When his mother asks him if he will be there for the traditional Christmas lunch, William dodges the question, saying, "I will have to ask my boss." Is this an avoidance strategy or is it the reality of his marriage? In fact, there are quite a few men who prefer to be mothered rather than take on the discomfort of decision-making.
Submission by either sex can also be an inversion of sexuality in marriage: "Pornography has become an outlet for forbidden desire: to let oneself be dominated or to dominate," explains sexologist and philospher Thérèse Argot in A Sexually Liberated Youth, or Almost:
In a society where mixing and equality reverse the relationships, the "weak sex" becomes the strong one, and vice versa. Then, the more a man feels threatened in his manhood, the more he seeks to establish his superiority by a sexuality that is violent and demeaning towards women. This egalitarian feminism, which thinks of the relationship between man and woman in terms of power and struggle, has worsened the violence by pitting men and women against each other.
Why international relationships are so challenging
So let's take a "marriage power quiz" to see who calls the shots in the daily decisions of the relationship:
Marriage power quiz
You are watching television:
He has the remote control.
She has the remote control.
Where's the darn remote control?
An appointment at the bank:
Go ahead, dear wife, I don't know anything about that.
Men bring home the bacon, women go shopping.
Let's meet at the bank at three o'clock.
Next Christmas:
We'll stay at home this year.
As usual, with poor Mom.
Since when do you care?
Our third child:
An accident.
A mutual choice.
What a woman wants, she gets …
The husband's job means the family has to move:
Dear husband, didn't you think about my job?
Let's sit down and talk about it.
A good wife must follow her husband.
Dinner at the Miller family's house:
I have already said we can't go.
I'm waiting to know if you're OK with it.
Oh, there's a dinner at their house?
Little Zoe got out of bed at night for the third time:
It's up to the father to put her back to bed.
Your turn to go.
Maybe we should do a better job putting her to bed?
Our first car
Let's get a pretty mini.
I want a big truck with a powerful engine.
I have two seats for the auto show.
What are we doing tonight?
Uh, just the game, why?
I invited my parents to dinner.
Shall we do an evening for two at the restaurant?
Quilt or comforter?
At home, we always did it like this.
I hate the comforter.
Perhaps a comforter in winter and a light quilt in summer?
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. The more real the people, the more there's an opportunity to improve your communication. Let there be laughter, annoyance, anger. Share your feelings with your spouse, and let him or her talk without interrupting — if you ever get to that point. The goal is not so much to convince the other as it is to try to understand what is important to him or her. It's up to you to listen with empathy.
Who are you, really? Get to know yourself better in 3 easy steps
From power struggle to shared decisions
How can we combine decision making and share power in the couple, or even understand it more as a service than as a means of dominating the other? It is within the framework of their support group with other couples that Pauline and Mark understood what was wrong with their power relationship.
"When Mark did not agree with my idea and said no, I used to feel rejected. But I came to understand that he still loved me even if he said no to one of my ideas," Pauline said.
Mark said, "I found Pauline extremely susceptible. It was thanks to the exchanges with the other couples and the contribution of our group moderators that I understood how to deal with it. Today, we no longer think in terms of power but of co-decision in the service of our relationship and our family."
Another husband, Michael, said that taking time to consult with his wife before making decisions is a key habit. "I now expect us to have time together to make decisions that affect us as a couple. I no longer let myself be trapped by quick requests involving both of us that I would have to answer on the spot because it exasperated my wife to be faced with a fait accompli. She thought I was authoritarian, but it's just that I did not dare to delay my answer to a request for fear of annoying the person who was asking me."
Finally, if there are mistakes and people are hurt because of how a past decision was made, talk about it as soon as possible so that resentment and brooding don't have time to take root.

While everyone focused on how the Avengers will fare against Thanos for round two in Avengers: Endgame, the Black Widow solo film has been slowly coming together.
The latest bit of casting news comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which has word that actress Florence Pugh is in talks to co-star opposite star Scarlett Johannson's eponymous super-spy. While specifics about the plot are being kept under lock and key (this is a Marvel movie, after all), it's being reported that Pugh will play a spy who's equal to Natasha Romanoff, and likely to be her "moral opposite."
Pugh also has some experience in the spy genre, as she co-starred in the AMC series Little Drummer Girl. She's currently earning rave reviews for her performance in the wrestling comedy Fighting With My Family, and can be seen next in Ari Aster's Hereditary follow-up, Midsommer, which will hit theaters this August.
As far as Black Widow goes, we do know that the story will focus on Romanoff's early days as both a spy and an assassin who spent her life being groomed by the KGB, before eventually breaking from their grasp and becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and, eventually, a member of the Avengers.
The idea of Pugh playing Romanoff's moral opposite is intriguing, as Black Widow wasn't exactly one of the good guys before the MCU first introduced her in Iron Man 2. While she's always come across as morally flexible, we did get a glimpse of her backstory in Avengers: Age of Ultron, which revealed the rigorous training she endured starting as a young child.
Australian director Cate Shortland will be helming the prequel/spinoff, which is scheduled to begin production in London starting in June.


It has become an article of faith that economic and political predictability are a good thing for the economy. Indeed, there are explicit links made between the discount rates applied to national foreign debt and the erratic or placid nature of the respective operating environments.
Much has also been written about 'dancing on the edge of chaos', not all of it entirely coherent. The message is, however, that there is a border between shambles and frozen, locked-in states, and it is in this area that fruitful change occurs.
This gives rise to the so-called 'paradox of the plankton': that despite this law, very many species do, in fact, co-exist. In a paper* in Nature, the answer is spelled out. It is to do with chaotic cycling. That is, species populations will exhibit chaotic fluctuations when their members compete for three or more separate resources. This generates a constantly changing environment, with which many species can each individually find temporary, relative advantage. Complex populations of this sort are resilient, insofar as they can react quickly to any external change.
Monocultures fail absolutely, whilst diverse systems fail piecemeal, with others queueing to fill the vacancy. If, as a citizen, therefore, you want an adaptive and stable economy, then you should accept a degree of instability as the price of pluralism. If, however, as an employee or a shareholder, you want the secure performance of one particular firm, then you will seek absolute external placidity, in which this firm can proliferate (or, again, fail absolutely, or be subject to predation). Shareholders can diversify away this risk so long as corporations themselves remain diverse. The recent wave of benchmarking (etcetera) has tended to drive firms to resemble each other ever-more closely, and - I would suspect - to entrain their earnings and to homogenize their options.
Large corporations, however, embody some capacity to diversify risk, provided they are prepared to accept some diversity. They are relatively slow to sense the changing external environment, and yet slower to respond to it. (cf. the Economist article, Fear of the Unknown, pp. 89-90, 4 December 1999). They can compensate for this by maintaining 'plankton', diverse potential responses which will emerge organically as the challenges themselves change. This does not require an integrated, conscious response, just many independent, coherent but different responses.
It is worth noting that markets value firms chiefly for their intangibles, and that the explicit trade in intangibles in the US has risen from USD15 bn to USD100 bn in seven years. Implicit acquisition of assets such as IPR and 'connections' may have driven much of the M&A surge, however. It is the capacity to organise knowledge and the knowledgeable, to create joint relationships and to deploy the new infrastructure of the information age - a myriad of partners, routes to market, subcontractors - which are likely to be the defining characteristics of success. It is easy to see where the room for improvement exists, but it is hard to redesign formal, unique approaches to the ill-defined and the intangible. With regard to the early stages of such projects, therefore, the best solution may be to try many solutions, and to emphasise the one that seems to work at present. Pluralism and apparent inefficiency may be the strongest prescription for success.

One father found out another interesting aspect of this security feature however when he left his iPad within reach of his kid: there is seemingly no top limit to how long the disable feature will remain in place.
Evan Osnos is a writer at The New Yorker and was very surprised to find on picking up his Apple device that he was going to have to wait a hefty 25,536,442 minutes until he could punch in the right code and gain access.
You do have to wonder though: why on earth doesn't Apple have a maximum disable time on its devices? And just how many times did that three-year-old have to get the code wrong to reach 48 years of delay?

Gera could leave Cottagers

Zoltan Gera's agent has done little to curb speculation surrounding his client's future at Fulham.
No guarantee Hungarian forward will stay put
Zoltan Gera's agent has done little to curb speculation surrounding his client's future at Fulham. The Hungarian is reported to be interesting several clubs across Europe, having enjoyed a productive six-year stint in England. From the Premier League, Liverpool and Sunderland are believed to be monitoring his situation, with the Reds now bossed by former Cottagers coach Roy Hodgson. Elsewhere, German giants Werder Bremen are said to be preparing a move for the experienced forward after seeing him bag a hat-trick against them in a recent pre-season friendly. Gera's representative admits there is a possibility a deal could be struck before the summer transfer window slams shut, and has attempted to tout his client's services to Liverpool.
"At the moment I don't want to comment on the news, but there is always a chance for a club change when a player has enjoyed such a great season, like Gera did," Vladan Filipovic told www.origo.hu. "Mr Hodgson liked him very much at Fulham and that belief could be seen in Gera's performances, he played some great football." Filipovic added: "I think his favoured position is behind the striker and there could be a place for him in the Liverpool starting line-up. "They have signed Joe Cole, and there are several world-class players in the Liverpool squad, but they don't have a player in Gera's position who is as hard-working as him or as dangerous in front of goal. "He showed with his hat-trick against Werder Bremen that his form is as good as it was last season."

We talked about knitting from stash and about suitable shawl shapes for this purpose already, now let's move on to size adjustments. How do you resize a shawl knitting pattern if you only have limited yarn supply?
Resizing shawls can be trivial or a piece of art, depending on the shape and the pattern. For shawl shapes suitable for knitting from stash, it's a piece of cake.
Just knit until you have just enough yarn left for binding off, that's it.
Use an adjustable shawl shape. If in doubt, work a triangle sideways.
Especially 4. is very important. You can do it!

Veris applied its leading-edge 3D modelling tools and capabilities to create a detailed virtual 3D models of Launceston's city centre.
This model is assisting Launceston City Council and key stakeholders with urban planning, simulation, heritage documentation and community consultation as the city seeks to revitalise its heart.
Settled in 1806, Launceston is one of Australia's oldest cities with one of the best-preserved early cityscapes in Australia including elegant Colonial and Victorian architecture and century-old parks. Staying true to the heritage and spirit of this charming city is essential to planning its future.
In particular, the Launceston city centre is an iconic and fundamental part of its social and economic fabric so when Launceston City Council set about planning for an urban renewal project a state-of-the-art virtual city model was wanted to help clarify its vision. Veris played a lead role developing detailed 3D models of the city centre that will support effective planning, visualisation and community consultation throughout this revitalisation project and beyond.
Using a fusion of both street level mobile laser scanning and point cloud data taken from aerial imagery, Veris created highly detailed 3D CAD models of more than 200 individual buildings. While all this may seem far removed from bricks and mortar, these tools provide stunningly accurate insights into the existing cityscape and the stories it has to tell.
The 3D 'digital city' developed by Veris in Tasmania will contribute to smarter planning and smarter design in the bricks and mortar heart of Launceston.

Amitabh Harivansh Bachchan, born 11 October 1942, is an Indian film actor. He first gained popularity in the early 1970s for movies like Deewar and Zanjeer and was dubbed India's "Angry Young Man" for his on-screen roles in Bollywood. He has since appeared in over 180 Indian films in a career spanning more than four decades. Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema.So total was his dominance of the movie scene in the 1970s and 1980s that the French director François Truffaut called him a "one-man industry."
Bachchan has won many major awards in his career, including three National Film Awards as Best Actor, a number of awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies and fourteen Filmfare Awards. He is the most-nominated performer in any major acting category at Filmfare, with 40 nominations overall. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer, and television presenter. He also had a stint in politics in the 1980s.
The Government of India honored him with the Padma Shri in 1984, the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015 for his contributions to the arts. The Government of France honored him with its highest civilian honor, Knight of the Legion of Honour, in 2007 for his exceptional career in the world of cinema and beyond.
Bachchan made his Hollywood debut in 2013 with The Great Gatsby, in which he played a non-Indian Jewish character, Meyer Wolfsheim.

Hospitality Staff to be replaced with Robots?
Big Hospitality gives an interesting insight into the ways in which developments in technology will impact on the hospitality industry.. from more mechanical food production to robotic serving staff and everything in between!
With the introduction of the new National Living Wage the retail and hospitality sectors will be particularly hit with increased staff costs and will be looking for ways to minimise the impact on what, for many, are already very close margins.
Only 10 years ago it would have been hard to imagine being able to do your weekly supermarket shop without interacting with a single member of staff but thousands of us now do it every week. The hospitality industry may have some catching up to do but self service McDonald's kiosks are undoubtedly just the start of some pretty significant changes over the coming years.
More impressively, over in Japan, Pizza Hut is trialling a robotic waiter called Pepper. If the promotional video is to be believed, the 3ft humanoid is extremely sophisticated, verbally interacting with diners in much the same way as a human being. It can even respond to questions about dietary requirements, giving info on calorie counts and fat content. It also features a facial recognition system designed to monitor its customers' emotions.

Energy Interdependence
Researchers working together at the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center imagine ways to adapt plants' mechanisms, in hopes of producing renewable fuels and other beneficial outcomes.
By Tony Fitzpatrick February 1, 2012 December 6, 2018
At the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center, investigators collaborate to harvest light and transform natural plant systems into efficient renewable energy sources. (Collage: Donna Boyd; images: ©Mauritius/SuperStock, ©iStockphoto)
When it comes to using light, most of Earth's plants are goldbrickers. From exotics to garden variety types, plants use only a fraction of potential light available to them. In fact, if plants had eyes, they would be able to "see" only as far as we advanced humans see, wasting the vast potential energy sources way out in the red and ultraviolet solar spectra.
In spring 2009, a new energy consortium, based at Washington University, formed to bring together the world's best and brightest photosynthesis researchers in an effort to change plants and other photosynthetic organisms from goldbrickers to gold diggers. Named the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center (PARC), it is one of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) 46 multimillion-dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs), formed to do research on novel energy initiatives. Washington University received a $20 million research award for PARC, the largest award ever received on the Danforth Campus.
PARC Presents Practical Possibilities
Directed by Robert Blankenship, PhD, the Lucille P. Markey Distinguished Professor of Arts & Sciences, PARC hosts 17 principal investigators (PIs), including five at Washington University, 10 others at institutions and laboratories nationwide, and two in the United Kingdom. Three PIs are located at Los Alamos, Oak Ridge and Sandia national laboratories and boast some of the most sophisticated imaging and computational technical expertise in the world. And since its founding, more than a dozen other affiliated scientists — with locations ranging from Australia to the Czech Republic and Israel — have joined PARC forces.
The focus of PARC is not so much on the big picture of photosynthesis — which transforms light, carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in plants and some bacteria — as it is on the front-end of the process. The front-end involves a light-gathering apparatus known as the antenna. There are roughly a dozen different types of photosynthetic antenna systems, with attendant variations within types. Blankenship likens the antenna to a satellite dish collecting signals and focusing them to a central receiving site, transducing them into stored energy and eventually a series of chemical reactions that produce useful products, such as the starch and sugars in a potato, for instance. The antenna is a place of such intrigue because it holds the potential for making plants and photosynthetic bacteria much more dynamic and beneficial than anyone ever envisioned.
Antennas are composed of pigments called chlorophylls in plants and bacteriochlorin in algae and cyanobacteria. In most systems they are nestled within scaffolding that holds the pigments at fixed distances and orientations from each other. Proteins, they absorb light like bodies in a tanning salon. Chlorophylls a and b, which differ by just one chemical group, are found in plants. Chlorophyll d, which taps into longer wavelengths, is only found in certain cyanobacteria.
The three-pronged approach "gives us the freedom to change things in major ways to explore areas that Mother Nature never did. We want to see if we can come up with something more efficient than found in any natural system."
—Robert Blankenship, PhD
"About half of the energy in sunlight is outside the visible range," says Blankenship, who has published numerous landmark papers on photosynthesis and photosynthetic organisms. "We are trying to incorporate new kinds of chlorophylls that can expand a plant's range and thus get additional energy, but right now no plant can take advantage of that."
PARC is exploring basic science research aimed at understanding the principles of the harvesting of light and funneling of energy as applied to three antenna systems: natural photosynthetic, biohybrid and bio-inspired.
The three-pronged approach "gives us the freedom to change things in major ways to explore areas that Mother Nature never did," Blankenship adds. "We want to see if we can come up with something more efficient than found in any natural system."
Payoffs, which won't come overnight, could be huge and include breakthroughs in agriculture, solar energy and green chemical manufacturing.
Himadri B. Pakrasi, PhD, the George William and Irene Koechig Freiberg Professor of biology in Arts & Sciences and professor of energy in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, leads a group of 10 PIs, all studying different natural antenna systems. Pakrasi, who heads WUSTL's International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability (I-CARES), says antenna sizes differ based on the amount of light available to an organism.
"One of the key things our group does is determine how Nature has designed different antennas; we test what happens when an antenna is modified and an organism is grown under different light regimes."
—Himadri Pakrasi, PhD
"When we see a green plant being green, we are seeing its antenna," he says. "A sun plant under bright light will have a paler green color, whereas canopy plants, under shade, will be much darker green — they have more antenna pigments to capture the same amount of light to allow growth.
For more than 20 years, Pakrasi has studied cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. He has made landmark contributions to the understanding of how these organisms — whose antennas capture additional light than plants do — produce lipids, or fats, that are easily converted to biodiesel fuel, as well as hydrogen, a clean energy source. Cyanobacteria are producing these fuels daily in WUSTL laboratories, but perhaps more exciting is the potential of these organisms, with the proper genetic modifications, to churn out useful chemicals and drugs.
Deciphering the natural photosynthetic antenna systems is Pakrasi's PARC goal, and the heart of his overriding goal of "taking cyanobacteria and making them photosynthetic cell factories that can produce fuel and useful chemicals," he says.
Moreover, Pakrasi states that PARC's strength is "the contributions of the many different groups to enable many energy possibilities."
For example, two WUSTL researchers in Pakrasi's group, working with Oak Ridge scientists, recently got valuable time on the Oak Ridge Laboratory's neutron-scattering instrument, the largest equipment of its kind in the world. They used the instrument to make measurements and detail changes in cell membranes around the antenna after modifications to the natural antenna system. "This kind of collaboration is necessary for big science to make big changes," Pakrasi says.
On the biohybrid front, Blankenship and PARC PI Pratim Biswas, PhD, the Lucy and Stanley Lopata Professor and chair of the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering, recently produced a solar cell. The cell — part natural, part artificial — combines antennas from well-understood photosynthetic bacteria Blankenship provided with a titanium dioxide substrate, or base, that Biswas created, using flame ionization. The two showed that light shone on the device is absorbed by the antenna complexes and makes its way to the titanium oxide, creating an electric current flow.
"The biohybrid complex is not something you'll probably put on your roof, it's not stable enough," Blankenship says. "But the idea would be at some point to come up with a completely artificial system to replace the natural antenna component."
"We don't want to miss anything that happens in the natural system. That's actually the purpose of the bio-inspired and biohybrid approaches. Even though the natural antennas are beautiful, maybe we're not going to need some of the complexities of the natural system in an artificial one."
—Dewey Holten, PhD
Chemistry Professor Dewey Holten, PhD, PARC PI and associate director of the center, calls such molecular maneuvering "decorating." He leads the PARC team building bio-inspired, or completely artificial, antenna systems. And, as in the instances of Blankenship and Pakrasi, many of his collaborators are scientists with whom he has worked for decades. One such collaborator, PARC PI Jonathan Lindsey, PhD, of North Carolina State University, can synthesize analogs of all known native chlorophylls that absorb light across the visible and near-infrared regions of the solar spectrum. These artificial chlorophylls, called chromophores, are attached to synthetic proteins called peptides by PARC PIs P. Leslie Dutton, PhD, and Christopher Moser, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania. The results are fully artificial, bio-inspired antennas, also referred to as maquettes. A change of tactics allows production of a type of biohybrid antenna in which synthetic chlorophylls made by Lindsey are attached to the amino acid cysteine incorporated in mutants of the natural antenna provided by fellow PARC PI Neil Hunter, PhD, of Sheffield University, UK. The attachment chemistry and components assembly to make biohybrid antennas are accomplished by PARC collaborators Paul Loach, PhD, and Pamela Parkes-Loach, PhD, of Northwestern University. Holten and PARC PI David Bocian, PhD, of the University of California, Riverside, characterized the properties of all these new antenna systems, in Holten's case through sophisticated laser spectroscopy that he and collaborator-spouse Christine Kirmaier, PhD, run in their Louderman Laboratory.
"We're looking to understand their properties so that we can design molecules to provide whatever characteristics we want," Holten says. "One idea is to make compact artificial antenna systems, decorate them with molecules absorbing different wavelengths of light, and deliver the energy efficiently to a cellular or surface site for energy processing.
"We don't want to miss anything that happens in the natural system," he continues. "That's actually the purpose of the bio-inspired and biohybrid approaches. Even though the natural antennas are beautiful, maybe we're not going to need some of the complexities of the natural system in an artificial one."
Publications have been coming out in all three areas of PARC's research thrust, reflecting well on the large-scale collaborative vision of the EFRCs program.
"One of the things these centers do is enable work that couldn't be done in an individual lab or even a small research group," Holten says. "We're doing things now we never even dreamed of doing before."

A fruitful meeting between the NECDA board members and the Department of Higher Education (DHET) was held on the 31st August 2018. The meeting was held to discuss the limitations brought on by the Skills Development Act as far as the registration of private training institutions that are not recognised under the Companies Act 2008 is concerned. Many of the ECD resource training organisations (RTOs) exist as non-profit organisations (NPOs) operating within the NPO Act and would have therefore been unable to register with the DHET. Essentially, NPOs that are training providers will now be able to register with DHET which is a great achievement for the sector. More details are contained in the summarised notes of the meeting.

The latest announcement sees a host of award-winning artists added to the line-up, including Billboard Award winner Thomas Rhett, country-rockers Old Dominion, vocal due Brothers Osborne and platinum artist Brantley Gilbert. Artists previously announced include Blake Shelton, Jamey Johnson, Scotty McCreery, Chris Janson, and LANCO. The additions will likely lead to criticism due to the lack of female artists on the bill – like many areas of the music industry, country music is often highlighted for its lack of diversity.
The ceremony will take place on 19 September at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, and will see country music legend Bill Anderson receive the Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award. It's unclear how many awards will be up for grabs on the evening, but there will be gongs for best Song, Songwriter, and Songwriter-Artist Of The Year, as well as the '10 Songs I Wish I'd Written' awards.
The NSAI is a non-profit songwriters trade organisation. Established in 1967, its membership exceeds 5,000 artists across 11 countries. Its role is to protect the rights of aspiring and professional songwriters in all genres of music.
