The critical groups of a family of graphs and elliptic curves over finite fields
Gregg Musiker
Let q be a power of a prime, and E be an elliptic curve defined over ℍq. Such curves have a classical group structure, and one can form an infinite tower of groups by considering E over field extensions ℍqk for all k≥1. The critical group of a graph may be defined as the cokernel of L(G), the Laplacian matrix of G. In this paper, we compare elliptic curve groups with the critical groups of a certain family of graphs. This collection of critical groups also decomposes into towers of subgroups, and we highlight additional comparisons by using the Frobenius map of E over ℍq.

Notts couple narrowly escape Storm Irma after holidaying in Necker Island
"Roads are clogged, hotels are full, gas is running low"
Sarah Bryan
A Mapperley couple had a "narrow escape" after Hurricane Irma tore through the Caribbean this week leaving death and destruction in its wake.
Sam Stoffel, owner of Profit Accumulator - a matched betting company which says it can help punters win money - made a dramatic escape from Necker Island with his fiancée Emma Lednor , also 27, just before the deadly storm hit on Tuesday (September 5).
The category five storm has blighted the States, and has continued to tear across the Caribbean - with life-threatening wind, rain and a storm surge expected to continue into tomorrow (September 9).
The couple had been holidaying in Necker Island, which is located in the British Virgin Islands, for two weeks with friend, billionaire and owner of the Virgin Group Richard Branson
Profit Accumulator founder Sam Stoffel
The 27-year-old, of Mapperley said: "We had to be evacuated early on when it became clear the storm was on a collision course for Necker.
"At first I wanted to stick it out and watch it unfold, but soon it was clear that wasn't a good idea.
"We got to the airport at Antigua [on Tuesday] and it announced it was closing at 5pm and all flights were fully booked up, our flight was 7.30pm. It was frantic trying to find a way home.
"We were looking at possibly going to New York and flying from there, or going from another island and getting back that way.
"I have a lot of close friends on Necker and their communications are still down so we can't get in contact with them to see if they're okay - it's quite distressing not knowing."
Sam and Emma were enjoying their holiday on Necker Island
Sam and Emma ended up catching a flight which was brought forward a few hours from Antigua to St Lucia, and then caught another one from St Lucia back to the UK.
They returned safely back home in Mapperley on Wednesday morning, and said they are relieved to be back.
Mr Stofell realised how lucky both he and Emma were, and said the whole experience made him feel like he was in a 'disaster movie'.

He added: "We had a narrow escape. We had no back-up plan if Antigua didn't work. If anything we would have gone back to Necker to try and battle it there as it was probably more secure.
"Walking into the airport though and having to listen to a hurricane briefing it was worrying to be a part of. I was just sat there thinking 'I feel like I'm in a disaster movie'.
"It was a case of being patient and hoping for the best in order to get home. The whole experience was just surreal.
The happy couple enjoyed the two week break on the idyllic island
"The airport in St James where we flew from apparently isnt there anymore, and Necker has just been decimated.
"It's hard to imagine a place I love has been hit so badly. It's just hard to comprehend, it's not habitable at all at the minute."
Notts man held in Swiss prison for more than three months after being arrested over driving offences finally released
Irma was first classified as a tropical storm on August 30 and rapidly intensified over the following days, becoming a category four hurricane on September 4.
States of emergency have been declared in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Florida, where Irma is due to make landfall this weekend.
Former Post reporter Erik Petersen, who lives in Fort Lauderdale but lived in Nottingham for 11 years, described the atmosphere as "pretty tense" - adding it was much more worrying than last year.
The 40-year-old said: "People aren't just talking about this as a hurricane, they're talking about it as The hurricane.
"I've had a few people ask if I'm considering going somewhere else in Florida, but this thing's the size of Texas. Roads are clogged, hotels are full, gas is running low.
"I'd rather face this thing in a house in Fort Lauderdale than in a car in a traffic jam somewhere outside Orlando."
The dual American-British citizen said he is riding out the storm with his 36-year-old wife, Jo, and their six-year-old daughter, Anya.
He said he was expecting lots of damage and said power could be out for weeks.

"With no electricity or air conditioning, you get used to stinking. Some people have generators. Unfortunately, we don't," he said.
"Luckily we do have a gas oven, so we can cook without electricity.
"Anya largely sees this as a big camp-out or adventure, which I suppose is good.
"Jo hasn't been through a hurricane before, but she's been through hurricane prep, so she's in full-on Spirit of Dunkirk/Getting Stuff Done mode.
"My parents have lived here for many years and seen a lot of stuff. They're not panicking, but they're taking this all very seriously."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said aircraft carrying around 100 personnel, made up of engineers, marines and medical specialists, will take rations and medical supplies to the area.
The Foreign Office has set up a hotline for people affected by the disaster and for people whose loved ones may be affected on 020 7008 0000.

Home » Embedded Computing Design » Obsolescence or opportunity?
Recently I heard a phrase that I now struggle to dislodge from my brain: "Obsolescence is opportunity." On the surface, it is the polar opposite of how most of us view it. "Obsolescence" is for many a dirty word, a potentially catastrophic risk that we do our best to pseudo-manage, but in reality, we have little control over it. Attempting to address past failures, the embedded industry has been crowbarred into guaranteeing longevity of products, but with those containing hundreds of components from a multitude of vendors (often technology behemoths where your product is nothing more than an irrelevance on the global manufacturing scale), no one can ever truly guarantee a product's availability in its exact current form.
That latter point is how vendors typically manage this. The longevity guarantee is not at the component level; it's at the functional level, analogous to how retail motherboards are produced. This suits developers who implemented flexible operating systems using hardware abstraction layers, as their software doesn't speak directly to the hardware.
For those utilizing more niche operating systems, arguably also definable as "embedded" in this context, where they're communicating directly with hardware, such component changes can be hugely problematic. Consideration also must be given to the stringent approval requirements of specific industries under the embedded umbrella, where certification can be as specific as the exact components used within an embedded system, and changing any must trigger a costly re-approval loop. Finally, at the vendor level, although some drop-in replacements exist for components, that is far from typical. Components have their own NRE costs that they must sufficiently cover, so even risk of obsolescence drives up price somewhere.
So how can obsolescence be an opportunity? I've considered this concept and concluded that obsolescence drives us forward. Embedded vendors are businesses, and while their employees may be passionate about driving technology forward, at top level this can only be justified if it generates more profit; it's never technology for technology's sake. If company X is selling a decades-old product Y – generating higher profit than they perceive a replacement product could and with no development costs to consider – would they ever replace it? I suppose through this argument it's obsolescence of old technology that drives innovation of new technology. It's culling the weakest members at the rear of the herd that improves the genetic pool. Does that make those demonizing obsolescence analogous to the fallen prey? Perhaps that's an analogy too far.
Nowadays I see embedded products announced as end of life well before any components contained within are obsolete. I genuinely do think our industry probably more than any other has an inherent desire to innovate and prove the value of embedded technology globally. With competition among embedded vendors greater than ever, no one can afford to rest on their laurels and risk sitting back purely collecting revenue from yesterday's technology. I believe it is competition rather than obsolescence that drives innovation today, but obsolescence is that safety net, gathering up and quietly retiring anything that is left behind.

The facts surrounding the wanton killing by Italian snipers abroad on Italian Tanker ship of two innocent Kerala fishermen requires firm action by the Government of India especially in view of the fact that the UPA Chairperson Ms.Sonia Gandhi is of Italian origin and is actively seeking to meddle in this case through the PMO's Mr. Pullok Chatterjee, currently Secretary to the Prime Minister.
I therefore demand that the Government of India take a firm line with the Italian Government on the question of diplomatic immunity now that the Italian Government has made that absurd claim. Wanton murder does not entitle any country diplomatic immunity at the investigation and charge sheeting stage.
This is the occasion when the Prime Minister must assert the true sovereignty of the nation especially because the firing took place just 11 kilometers of the coast of Kerala on eleven fishermen in a small fishing boat, nine of whom were visibly asleep. It has to be determined whether the Italian snipers who killed two of the innocent fishermen were at that time drunk and treating the poor fishermen as target practice for that firing. We should no more allow repeat of what happened in Purulia arms drop case when the Government abjectly surrendered to the British Government. Modern India is not mentally any more a captive of the Whites of Europe. It is time such firm signal was sent to Europe.
As per Firstpost, "'Killer' mariners, and the Quattrochi-Sonia connection"
The "killer" mariners are not the first seafaring Italians to come close to the Kerala coast. In fact, their forefathers frequented the coast of central Travancore (erstwhile) which was part of a large Tamil kingdom, for a long time.

According to Australian immigration statistics, Western Australia is the most popular state for British migrants moving to Australia. Over 7000 British citizens moved there in 2007/08. This could be due to the fact that there is a strong expat community in Perth. The shorter flight distance and closer time difference could also be factors.
Western Australia is the largest state in Australia but less than 10% of the country's population live there i.e. less than 2 million people. Most people living in the state live in Western Australia's capital city, Perth. Perth is known for its relaxed lifestyle and many beaches and parks for residents and visitors to enjoy. Perth also has more restaurants per capita than any other Australian city.
Queensland, known as the 'sunshine state', is the second most popular destination for British expats after Western Australia. Other common migration destinations for the British include New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria.

But as much as people fear from the chords, it is fairly easy to join both chords and melody for playing a song. Many of the songs only have 4 piano chords into use. And so, switching your left hand from one chord to another subconsciously becomes easy after just some practice.
You must be knowing about Pareto's Principle commonly known as 80-20 rule. This rule also applies to the songs. According to it, 80% of the songs can be covered by following just 20% of the chords. And here we will be talking about 4 such chords that nearly all the songs use.
These chords consist of 3 key presses, also known as Triad. And all these 4 chords are formed using the C Major scale – C D E F G A B C. The pattern commonly used to refer them are I – V – VI – IV. That means, the chords are built on 1 – 5 – 6 – 4 degrees of the C Major Scale. This is the widely used progression. Below are these 4 chords.
This is the 1st major chord (I from the pattern I – V – vi – IV) from C Major scale, also the primary triad of the scale. We use the 1st, 3rd and 5th keys of the scale to form the C Major Chord, i.e., C E G. To play the scale with your left hand, press C with your last finger, E with the middle one, and G with your thumb. If you press all the keys together, you will get the C Major chord.
This chord is the most basic and widely used one in most of the songs. If you have noticed, it contains no sharps (or flats). All the songs that are played in C Major chord manage to be uplifting. Once you master this chord properly, you have managed to play maximum of the songs using both melody and chords.
This is the 5th major chord (V from the pattern I – V – vi – IV) from the C Major scale. This is also the primary triad of G Major scale – G A B C D E F# G. To play this chord, use the 1st, 3rd and 5th keys starting from the key G. We get – G B D, which forms the G Major Chord. To play it with the left hand, use the same pattern as of C Major Chord. Press last finger on G, middle finger on B, and thumb on D.
Since this is also a major chord, this also has a very upbeat or happy feeling to it. And hence, it makes another popular chord for most of the songs.
A Minor chord is formed using the 6th degree of the scale (vi from the pattern I – V – vi – IV). It is also the primary chord of A Minor scale – A B C D E F G A. Press 1st, 3rd and 5th keys starting from the A to form this Minor chord. Use the same pattern of hand as in the above chords.
This is the only popular minor chord that appears in maximum songs. And this minor chord is popularly used to give a sad and dark background tune. The A Minor is also referred to as the C Major of Major chords, the reason being A Minor scale has no sharps or flats, just like C Major scale.
F Major chord is formed on 4th degree of C Major scale (IV from the pattern I – V – vi – IV). It is also the primary major chord of F Major scale – F G A Bb C D E. Follow the same pattern of 1 – 3 – 5 key presses starting from the letter F to obtain the F Major Chord – F A C. Again, this chord is used too give a happy background tone.
If you have noticed, all these widely used chords do not use any sharps or flats, making them very easy to play and remember. And this progression of I – V – vi – IV is the most popular progression in the Piano music industry.
Using just these 4 chords, you can play a large number of songs easily. Some of them include Cheap Thrills, Let It Go, Faded, Love the way you lie, and many more. You might face difficulty in the first song. But as you practice to switch your hands, the other songs become only a task of learning melody.
To learn about chords in depth, read this piano chords tutorial by MyPianoNotes.com. Hope you will now enjoy playing these widely popular numbers easily with chords on the piano.

LCD panel makers are targeting video walls as a new growth market, especially for 49", 55", 60", and 60"+ slim bezel panels.
This presentation was given on April 2019 at the OLED Summit China in Shanghai, China and provides insights into the dynamics of the OLED display market and technology dynamics, as well as an outlook for new OLED form factor, such as foldable.
The Large Area Display Price Tracker provides monthly panel price updates for large-area applications including notebooks, LCD monitors, and LCD TVs.
BOE has gained most TV makers' qualification and design-in for their 65-inch from Gen10.5 fab and 75-inch, while ChinaStar intends to expand the customer base.
Panel makers like Samsung Display, BOE, AUO, LG Display, and Innolux are selecting different sizes in 80-inch segment based on their customer base.
This is the third edition of the IHS Markit report on the data center power distribution hardware market. IHS Markit has been publishing market statistics on the data center infrastructure market for over a decade.

Q: Can wp_script_is used in pluginA check if a script is being enqueued/registered from pluginB? Can wp_script_is used in pluginA check if a script is being enqueued/registered from pluginB?
I have two plugins both of which use Angular. One plugin (pluginA) has angular.min.js being loaded across all pages. The other (pluginB) has angular.min.js being loaded on only one. I would like to check if pluginA has already enqueued Angular but I want to do it from pluginB.
For instance, I tried
$handle = 'myAppScript.min.js' // this is a concatenated/minified version of the entire pluginA angular app.
$list = 'enqueued' // I also tried all the other $list options.
// if 'myAppScript.min.js' is present, don't register Angular again, otherwise register it.
if (wp_script_is($handle, $list)) {
  return;
} else {
  wp_register_script( $this->plugin_name . '-ajs', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'js/angular/angular.min.js', array(), $this->version, false );
}

However wp_script_is returns false no matter what I try (I double checked with a var_dump) and therefore adds Angular again.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Update - I have a working solution to my particular problem using is_plugin_active, but I'm still curious if there's an answer to the question. Thanks!
    $plugin = 'pluginA/pluginA.php';
    include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
    if (!is_plugin_active($plugin)) {
      wp_register_script( $this->plugin_name . '-ajs', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'js/angular/angular.min.js', array(), $this->version, false );
    }

A: Now that I see you were hooking into plugins_loaded, this makes sense because it is fired much earlier than wp_enqueue_scripts. It is expected that your function would return 0 at this point.
See here and here for the order in which actions are generally fired.
Try to add an action at wp_enqueue_scripts with a late priority to make sure it runs after other enqueued scripts. Then you can deregister the script and register again with new parameters.

If you try to register or enqueue an already registered handle with
  different parameters, the new parameters will be ignored. Instead,
  use wp_deregister_script() and register the script again with the new
  parameters.

Edit: Sorry, I misread that. is_plugin_active is not an action hook and will immediately return true without telling you whether the script is enqueued. It still stands that you must hook the function wp_script_is at wp_enqueue_scripts or later.

A: You are on the right path. There is no better way to determine script is enqueued or not. This is efficient way wp_script_is( $handle, $list )
Just wondering if your $handle name is correct. Make sure $handle while checking wp_script_is is the same as when you enqueue script in pluginB. The first parameter is $handle. Refer to this WP Codex.
It says:
Parameters
$handle
(string) (Required) Name of the script. Should be unique.
I believe you are using plugin name as a handle in else part.
Try using same name "AngularJS" or something but must be the same as $handle

A: Maybe I'm wrong but according to WP codex:
wp_script_is( string $handle, string $list = 'enqueued' )

$handle - unique name of the script
As far as I can see you are using FILE NAME instead which is wrong. By me it has nothing to do with when actions/hooks are being fired coz both of your plugins are fired on plugins_loaded.
So, if you check it out this way
$handle = 'MY_SCRIPT_NAME'; /* can't really be $this->plugin_name . '-ajs' because it gives 2 different strings */

in both of your plugins, only one instance of required JS file will be loaded.

10 facts about the Nissan Almera you didn't know
by Annabel Schoeman · August 11, 2015
If you are thinking of finding a Nissan Almera for sale, we have ten interesting facts about the Almera you might not have known. Here you will find interesting titbits of information that includes everything from the model's many names to its makeovers and the features and specs of the newest Almera Nissan for sale.
The Alméras Name
Alméras is the family name of French racing car drivers during the eighties. Famous French racers with this last name include Phillippe Alméras, who competed in both the 2001 and 2002 French Formula Renault championships, Jacques Alméras and Jean-Marie Alméras.
All of its names
The Almera is known by a couple of other names across the globe. Called the Nissan Pulsar from 1995 to 2000, it is known as the Nissan Sentra in New Zealand and, from 2000 to 2006, it was known as the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy. The N15 Pulsar was launched in 1995 and sold in Europe as the Almera.
The first generation N15 Almera for sale
Manufactured from 1995 to 2000, the very first Nissan Almera hit the streets in late 1995. It was the Nissan Sunny (N14) replacement and was almost identical to the Nissan Pulsar (N15) which was sold in Japan at that time. The differences between the Pulsar and the Almera for sale at that time included a petrol engine range as well as different trim options.
Engine types available during this period included the petrol 1.4 Si GA14DE, the petrol 1.6 Sri GA16DE and the diesel 2.0 GTi SR20DE.
The first facelift
In 1998 the Almera received its first makeover. For the Si and Sri the front bumpers received a redesign and front splitters were added. The GTi has a standard all-round body kit and the lip spoilers boasted integrated brake lights. The front indicators of this model and the headlights also featured black surrounds.
The GTi's body kit was also made studier and was altered to feature a more subtle look. A rear splitter as well as vents were added to the GTi. Interestingly enough, the Phase 1 (pre makeover) GTi had thin, brittle, plastic splitters, hence the more studier Phase 2 (post makeover) body kit.
It is also not uncommon to find a Phase 1 GTi sporting Phase 2 bumpers or even no splitter at all.
The second generation N16 Nissan Almera
Rolling out onto the streets in 2000, the second generation Nissan Almera for sale had curvier and smoother lines than the first generation. This Nissan was the first vehicle based on Nissan's global MS-Platform. Also known as the M&S Platform and the FF-S platform, it is a platform for front wheel drive vehicles that share floor panels, transmission, engine and chassis parts and components.
The models that were part of the Nissan MS-Platform during that time included the Nissan Almero Tino, The Nissan Sunny (or Sentra) and the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy G10, to name but a few examples.
2000 – 2006 Almera Models
During this time there were three different body styles available – this included the 3 or 5 door hatchback, a 4 door saloon Almera. Engine options included a 1.8 or 1.5 QC petrol engine, and a 2.2 direct injected turbo-diesel or common rail turbo-diesel.
The five door hatchback Almera was exported from the United Kingdom to New Zealand and Australia. Here the Almera formed part of the Nissan Pulsar (N16) collection of vehicles being sold. Note that the sedan of this time was based on the Bluebird Sylphy but featured a different style front.
While the N16 Almera for sale boasted a number of stunning improvements (as seen in its improved tyre grip and handling), there were some complaints. Though it had a bigger boot, there was a decrease in legroom for rear passengers – this was due to the shorter wheelbase which measured in at 2.53 metres.
The Second Facelift
With 2003 swinging into action, the Nissan Almera got another makeover. Some of the upgrades for the Almera's of that time include the return of the MacPherson Strut front suspension as well as Nissan's multi-link rear suspension.
Visually, the Almera was turned into a hot little number boasting the addition of chrome, projector-like headlights. Other additions for the 2003 facelift included a new grille, circular fog lights (but only for some models) and even an engine air intake that was integrated into the front bumper.
The interior also got its fair share of beautification featuring the use of higher quality materials as well as a colour screen 'control centre' from where you could control all your Almera's awesome functions.
Building the made-over Nissan Almera
Sold as the Nissan Pulsar in the Asia-Pacific, the made-over Almera was manufactured in the United Kingdom and, more specifically, in Sunderland, a city forming part of Tyne and Wear in North East England.
The Almera was also being sold in Mexico – the available models here included a five-door manual five-speed model, a three door sport version (that came with five-speed manual transmission, curtain air bags at the side and fog lamps) and a five-door three-speed automatic comfort Almera.
Other Almera versions
In 2007 and 2008 the Nissan Tiida was introduced into several countries as a replacement for the Almera. An interesting fact to note here is that the Tiida is not officially imported into the UK, but is available for sale through the Arnold Clark dealership network since March of 2009. These models for sale in the UK are sourced from Ireland.
Based on the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy N16, the Renault Samsung SM3 was made in South Korea and sold as the second generation of the Almera.
After undergoing a makeover in 2005, it was sold from 2006 as the Almera Classic (in the Ukraine and Russia), the Almera B10 (in Venezuela, Central America and Ecuador) and the Sunny B10 (in the Middle East). In Chile it was sold as the Samsung SM3 and in Mexico, Columbia, Egypt and Libya it was sold as the Renault Scala.

New Nissan Almera 2019 1.5 Manual bought. At 130 – 140Km/h, car starts loosing stability and seems to get blown out of control. Could this be a problem with this single car or a general problem for the 2019 1.5 Manual model?
Hi Joseph,
It would be best to get in touch with a Nissan dealership's service center. They would be best equipped to answer this question.
Aotlotlwe Bolokang says:
I have somewhat a air conditioning problem. The knob/dial moves from hot to cold (red to blue), the air con gas is full without any leakage, but somehow it seems as if a link (connecting mechanism) to the heat-exchanger is nit function and is stuck at warm. I only get warm air blowing through, winter or summer even with the knob on cold. Any Help, please?
Hi Bolokang,
We'd like to suggest that you take your vehicle to Nissan dealership so that their service centre can have a look at it.

Alternative pro soccer league? It's worth a shot
February 5, 2018 by Scott Adamson Leave a Comment
All who know me understand that when I hear the phrase "alternative league," my spider senses start to tingle.
Scott Adamson writes about soccer because he enjoys writing about soccer. Follow him on Twitter @adamsonsl
My sports memories date back to being a young kid who was a much bigger fan of the American Football League than the National Football League. As painful as it is, I still cheer for the New York Jets.
My favorite basketball team?
I gave me heart to the New York Nets of the American Basketball Association.
Hockey?
I was a proud supporter of the World Hockey Association's Birmingham Bulls.
And even though the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League were the primary object of my association football affections, I also tried to keep track of the American Soccer League.
Sure, the ASL was much older than the NASL so you can't really assign it "alternative status," but once the league that featured the likes of Pele, George Best, Johan Cruyff and Rodney Marsh became a sensation for a few remarkable years, the ASL was an afterthought.
Not to me, though. While teams came and went at a sometimes alarming pace, I did my best to follow such lost-to-history franchises as the New York Eagles, Carolina Lightnin' and Los Angeles Skyhawks.
(Fun fact: Basketball legend Bob Cousy was ASL commissioner from 1974 to 1979).
So naturally, when Jacksonville Armada owner Robert Palmer dangled the carrot of an "unsanctioned professional league," well, that got me really, really interested.
The Armada, of course, are part of the modern NASL, which is on life support since the United States Soccer Federation refused to grant it second division status for 2018. The league is hoping for relief from the courts, but failing that, the NASL might never host another competitive match.
In the interim, Jacksonville will compete in the National Premier Soccer League, a fourth-tier circuit that bills itself as a "national league with regional focus."
And while Palmer released a statement assuring fans that his club is "engaged in discussions with other start-up leagues that intend to seek sanctioning from the United States Soccer Federation," this was the part that caught my eye:
"For the future security of the Armada, I have put together a task force comprised of the brightest minds across my companies and soccer experts. This task force is exploring the possibility of funding and operating an unsanctioned professional league. It would be an option if the other leagues are not able to successfully navigate the political landscape of the USSF."
Translation: In the current landscape of the USSF, it's Major League Soccer's world and only the United Soccer League (and its amateur Premier Development League) truly get to breathe the same air.
I had really hoped that the new NASL would survive and thrive and eventually provide MLS with some competition, because competition is healthy. That, however, now seems unlikely.
But let's be extremely optimistic for a moment – or at least indulge me as I immerse myself in a soccer fantasy world.
What if Palmer's task force comes up with the audacious idea of building a top-tier league from the ground up? And what if that American soccer alternative featured a promotion/relegation system? And what if the future USSF leaders decided it was ultimately worthy of sanction?
I'd get behind such a league in a heartbeat.
I'm already smitten with the fledgling third division National Independent Soccer Association, which will be built around pro/rel. It features fan ownership, has a forward-thinking business model, and checks all the boxes when it comes to how play-for-pay soccer leagues can grow and thrive.
Imagine that model applied to a "major league" that isn't afraid to be part of a system that has helped make soccer the world's most popular sport.
Let's face it … MLS is a closed system and will almost certainly always be a closed system. Once an ownership group buys a franchise they know that win, lose or draw, that franchise will always be part of the first division.
(When Forbes looked at the value of MLS clubs in 2016, it determined they are worth $185 million on average).
In the current environment, about the best pro/rel proponents can hope for is a pyramid with a second division ceiling.
USL president Jake Edwards told the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News last month that his league, which will feature USL D3 starting in 2019, is taking a hard look at the model.
"I think it would be very interesting to look at pro/rel between those two divisions," Edwards told the paper. "We certainly could do it now and I think there's an interest to do it among our board.
"We are going to experiment with precursors, such as maybe some sort of inter-league competition, an inter-league cup. We're going to look at options like that to see if that works."
Maybe that's what America's current soccer overlords see as a compromise. They can say, "See, we have promotion/relegation!" even though it stops short of its ultimate purpose.
If I could work my will with a "renegade" league, it would start in August, end in May, crown a champion based on best record through 38 matches, send teams up, and send teams down.
The 24 flagship clubs (aside from Jacksonville, of course) would be in hotbed soccer markets large and small as well as cities that, to date, have been snubbed by MLS. San Francisco, Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Antonio, Charlotte, Detroit, and Phoenix come to mind immediately.
It would all be part of a real pyramid that includes some of the great lower division leagues already in existence, and built on the same foundation that has been the tried and true soccer blueprint used – with great success – across the world.
And every single club in that pyramid could dream of moving up.
Did I read too much into Palmer's "funding and operating an unsanctioned professional league" remark?
Are there too many obstacles to clear?
Probably. If you don't get USSF sanctioning, you don't get access to current and future United States Men's National Team players or the governing body's resources. Plus, I just don't know if there are enough people (with enough cash and patience) willing to step into the ring and fight for the soul of U.S. soccer.
But I could be wrong. And if such a league is ever formed, I'll be solidly in its corner.

The Very Best SARMs in 2020: Is Taking SARMs for BodyBuilding Bad for You?
First Look:
Ostarine MK-2866
Testolone RAD-140
Lingadrol LGD-4033
Andarine S-4
SARMs mean Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators. These substances share comparable properties with anabolic steroids however, based on the name, are more selective in how they work. As a receptor modulator, they have actually set impacts on specific tissues or locations.
Relatively, steroids are infamous for impacting more than muscle development and efficiency: the risks are obvious.
SARMs are a reasonably unique muscle-building alternative, but that's not to say they do not have a solid base of advocates already.
We explore the science behind SARMs and examine 5 popular varieties to expose what each can do for you. We investigate how they work with fact-based research based on genuine studies– no unfounded claims here.
The Very Best SARMs in 2020
1. Ostarine MK-2866– Best SARM Overall
Ostarine MK-2866 is likewise understood as Ostarine, Enobosarm, or GTx-024. This SARM, established by GTx, Inc. simulates the action of testosterone. 2]
Ostarine recreates testosterone's results: it was originally developed to deal with conditions triggered, or aggravated, by testosterone shortages. Just like all SARMs, it binds to androgen receptors throughout your body [3]
Although there's no certified research study on this compound for bodybuilding, it has actually shown success in the muscle-building department. Initially utilized to treat muscle wasting from different chronic conditions, Ostarine can significantly boost physical function and lean muscle mass in females and men [4] [5]
MK-2866 can get lead to doses as low as one milligram. Per one study on cancer clients struggling with muscle wasting, stair-climbing power enhanced substantially, with higher enhancements seen in those taking a higher dose [6]
Animal trials reveal that Ostarine might also increase bone density and prevent bone loss. Considering that powerlifting and other extensive bodybuilding workouts can increase your danger for fractures, it deserves considering for that alone [7] [8]
Ostarine MK-2866 Side Effects
Ostarine MK-2866 is non-steroidal; it isn't in fact testosterone, although it works likewise. Negative effects are minimal compared to conventional androgenic agents [9]
You might experience moderate stomach pain, irregularity, nausea, or diarrhea. Pregnant and breastfeeding ladies must prevent Ostarine. These are fragile times, keep things natural.
Testosterone is the driving force behind many helpful body procedures, from bodybuilding to increased physical function. Since Ostarine selectively simulates testosterone's capabilities, it's easily one of the very best SARMs for performance improvement and muscle gain.
2. Testolone RAD-140– Best for Expanding
Testolone RAD-140 was originally developed to target conditions like breast cancer and muscle wasting. It is one of the most powerful SARMs, making it an optimum candidate if you wish to bulk up and develop muscle fast [10]
RAD-140 displays an extraordinary affinity for androgen-receptor cells in the body. It's also exceptionally selective compared to other SARMs; it doesn't affect other steroid-hormone receptors.
SARMs are already critical by definition, however research confirms that RAD-140 binds especially well to the androgen receptors in bone and muscle. It blocks androgen receptors in the prostate and breasts, reducing the danger of prostate and breast cancer [12]
RAD-140 is a much safer treatment option to fight muscle wasting than testosterone replacement therapy and anabolic steroids. Both can aggravate or provoke cancers due to the overstimulation of androgen receptors [13]
Testolone could likewise boost mental capacity. Early trials discovered that it can lower brain cell death triggered by aging. 15]
Trials show it may even suppress breast cancer. Its enhanced selectivity likewise implies that, for women, the danger of other unpleasant androgenic effects such as hair growth is low [16]
Testolone RAD-140 Negative Effects
Anecdotal reports from RAD-140 users warn of nausea for novice users. Other potential unfavorable impacts consist of insomnia or sleepiness– experiences vary depending upon the dose and cycle length.
If you're in a bulking cycle, Testolone's quick muscle-building abilities are among the best. As one of the most discriminating SARMs, it's likewise exceptional for targeting muscle and bone without affecting anything else.
3. Lingadrol LGD-4033– Finest for Ladies
Lingadrol, or LGD-4033, is a SARM used to fight bone and muscle loss, arising from osteoporosis. Since they are more prone to bone illness, it is one of the finest SARMs for females. Lingadrol is also among the few SARMs to go through human trials with promising outcomes [17]
How it Functions
LGD-4033 boasts high selectivity when it bonds to androgen-receptive cells in the body, going with those in bones and muscles. It also works swiftly: a 21-day study on healthy males discovered all participants enjoyed increased lean body mass [18]
Within this brief period, individuals likewise showed increased leg press strength and stair-climbing power.
Dosages ranged from simply 0.1-1mg, showing its ultra-high effectiveness. Considering that females naturally build muscle at a slower speed than men, due to lower testosterone levels, LGD-4033 could be a great strategy to kickstart muscle gain [19]
Animal trials confirm suggested that Lingadrol might be adept at favorably affecting bones and muscles without disrupting sensitive locations, like the prostate. Outcomes included increased bone mass and strength, along with improved sexual function [20]
Lingadrol Side Effects
Some users might experience stomach trouble, such as nausea or stomach pain. Remember that variables such as your diet and for how long you pick to cycle the compound impact its impacts.
Because the loss of bone density is more common, and tends to begin at an earlier age, in women than guys, we designate it as the best SARM for women. The powerful capacity of LGD-4033 to build lean muscle in the body makes it a feasible choice for a lot of bodybuilders [ 21]
4. YK-11– Finest for Quick Gains
Aside from the typical SARMs qualities, YK-11 sticks out in that it inhibits myostatin. This compound hinders cell growth and distinction in muscles. If you're after fast development, that ability makes it an optimal SARM.
This SARM has limited research readily available, however what exists is appealing. It suppresses myostatin, a natural substance in the body that negatively affects muscle growth. Myostatin is among the culprits behind muscle losing in senior or chronically ill people [22] [23]
Suppressing myostatin can not only prevent muscle atrophy and loss, however it can likewise improve development too. Research study supports that strength gains are another favorable consequence of limiting myostatin [24]
At the exact same time, YK-11 increases follistatin expression, a helpful protein that contributes to muscle development, metabolism, and fertility. 26]
YK-11 Negative Effects
Previously owned reports from YK-11 users discuss joint and tendon pain as a possible negative effects. Since there's minimal clinical research study about it, pregnant and breastfeeding ladies ought to prevent it.
The myostatin-inhibiting action of this SARM is worth a try for the beginner that desires quick outcomes. Experienced bodybuilders can likewise utilize it to accelerate the bulking procedure.
5. Andarine S-4– Finest for Cutting Fat
Andarine is a selective androgen receptor that ranks among the very best SARMs for cutting. Like Ostarine, it's an item of GTx, Inc. It was developed to fight osteoporosis and muscle wasting– so you can imagine what it can do for a healthy individual.
Apart from improving muscle mass, S-4 can aid with fat loss too. Bigger muscles, integrated with boosted weight loss, must assist you accomplish that desired "cut" look. Andarine might be an option [you desire to transition through the tough cutting cycle without over-supplementing 27]
Err on the side of care and avoid supplementing with Andarine while pregnant and breastfeeding. Increased hair loss is a possible result, although bear in mind that reports of Andarine adverse effects vary considerably.
SARMs are currently discerning by definition, however research confirms that RAD-140 binds particularly well to the androgen receptors in bone and muscle. Lingadrol, or LGD-4033, is a SARM used to fight bone and muscle loss, resulting from osteoporosis. It is one of the finest SARMs for females due to the fact that they are more susceptible to bone illness. Considering that the loss of bone density is more typical, and tends to start at an earlier age, in females than men, we designate it as the best SARM for women. Andarine is a selective androgen receptor that ranks amongst the finest SARMs for cutting.
SARMs Purchasing Guide and Frequently Asked Questions
Let's discuss what SARMs can do for you, and what you need to know when it concerns purchasing and using SARMS.
Recreational SARMs within dietary supplements exist in somewhat grey locations: they're sold in dietary supplements, and they're likewise a DEA-controlled compound– in the very same classification as steroids [28]
Athletes seeking to compete professionally ought to understand The World Anti-Doping Firm (WADA) prohibits SARMs [29]
Are SARMs Safe?
Using SARMs recreationally for bodybuilding is not an FDA-approved usage, meaning security is not guaranteed. Research is restricted as to how they affect the body long-term, and there are no clinical investigations into using them in cycles recreationally [30]
Dietary supplements that aren't FDA-approved are not controlled, consisting of items claiming to include SARMs. The component list could be misleading, specifying nonexistent or inaccurate quantities of the SARM in question [31]
Can SARMs Make You More Powerful?
Yes, specific SARMs can improve your strength, especially when integrated with intensive exercises. Plenty of studies confirm that SARMs increase individuals' physical function (which includes strength).
Where Can You Discover SARMs for Sale?
Various dietary supplements targeted at bodybuilders and physical fitness lovers claim to include SARMs. You ought to take these labels with a grain of salt, specifically if the brand name isn't reputable.
Search for highly-reviewed suppliers that are widely known. It isn't wise to buy SARMs from private people or dodgy locations, no matter what strength or amount they market.
How and When Should You Utilize SARMs?
You need to only use SARMs if you're otherwise healthy with no pre-existing conditions. Females need to avoid trying to build muscle mass with these compounds while breastfeeding or pregnant.
SARMs are typically taken in cycles of 2 to 3 months at dosages of five to 15 milligrams per day. They're likewise offered as tablets or capsules. Personal elements like your objectives (e.g., cutting vs bulking) will likewise play a role in how you take them.
The ideal cycle and dosage per day will rely on the compound you're taking: 8 weeks is pretty basic. Some bodybuilders reduce the cycle to 4 weeks or extend it to a 12-week cycle.
As a rule, you need to start your very first cycle with a low dose to see how you react and stick to a shorter cycle of 4 to 8 weeks. Testolone is highly potent even in small doses, so you don't desire to go overboard with how much you take.
You need to never push your cycle to beyond 12 weeks. Avoid upping your dose each day in large increments: if you choose to increase it, go with no more than 5mg.
If you experience severe negative effects, cut your cycle short, and contact your physician. SARMs might not be as harmful as routine steroids, however that does not make them 100-percent safe.
Should You Use SARMs for Bodybuilding?
There are plenty of success stories from bodybuilders using SARMs in cycles to increase muscle mass and efficiency. It's up to you to weigh out the risks and benefits of taking these substances.
SARMs do have far fewer nasty side effects than conventional bodybuilding supplements. Still, you should work out care and display yourself carefully when you cycle.
What Are the Advantages of Taking SARMs?
SARMs provide many of the exact same perks as conventional steroids and testosterone supplements. They can improve muscle mass, strength, efficiency, and even brain function. Some can assist in cutting fat and increasing bone density.
These compounds are not devoid of side impacts, many of the dreaded signs bodybuilders fear from anabolic steroids, and testosterone supplements will not follow.
Anabolic steroids can likewise cause opposite-sex characteristics to manifest, e.g. body hair development in females or breasts in guys. Both genders likewise experience increased cancer danger, aggressiveness, acne, loss of hair, and more.
What Are the Side Effects of SARMs?
Negative effects differ depending upon the type of SARM, your cycle, dosage, and general health. Many studies exploring SARMs for medical applications highlight minimal negative results.
Do SARMs Lower Testosterone Levels?
Yes, a selective androgen receptor can lower testosterone levels at higher doses, depending upon type of SARM.
Should Women Take SARMs?
SARMs are an appealing option to anabolic steroids. Women benefit huge, as the unfavorable effects of conventional steroids or testosterone supplements in women are frequently severe.
Some SARMs are even thought about promising in the treatment of muscle waste, breast cancer, and other disorders in females.
Is MK 677 a SARM?
MK 677, or Ibutamoren, is commonly believed to come from the family of SARMs, but it doesn't. It controls development hormone and promotes ghrelin, the hormonal agent responsible for cravings.
These properties make MK 677 an interesting prospect for bodybuilders wanting to bulk up, but its not a SARM.
SARMs can be outstanding help to achieve your bodybuilding objectives. Still, it's essential to avoid abusing them and utilize sound judgment when picking the best SARMs for you.
Similar to any synthetic compound, the capacity for negative impacts exists. The danger is significantly lower than with other options like testosterone, but it still exists.
Bear in mind that no official regulative body screens SARMs. Look for makers with a good reputation and reviews if you pick to supplement with these products.

Utilizing SARMs recreationally for bodybuilding is not an FDA-approved usage, indicating security is not guaranteed. Dietary supplements that aren't FDA-approved are not controlled, including items professing to contain SARMs. SARMs are usually taken in cycles of two to 3 months at dosages of 5 to 15 milligrams per day. SARMs provide many of the same benefits as traditional steroids and testosterone supplements. Oncology, U.S. National Library of Medication, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ 23499390/.
