Unlikely rumor claims 'iPhone SE 2' will be called 'iPhone 9'
William Gallagher | Dec 06, 2019
Supply chain reports repeat the information that Apple is preparing a successor to the iPhone SE, but now say that it's going to be called "iPhone 9."
Japanese site Macotakara is reporting confirmation from its sources within manufacturers in the supply chain, that Apple is readying a cheaper, smaller 'iPhone SE 2' to replace the iPhone SE. It may be released in spring 2020, but Macotakara also claims that it may be called the iPhone 9.
"Since the consecutive design has been used from iPhone 6 to iPhone 8," says the site in its own English-language translation, "it is difficult to be thought that the name of iPhone SE would be succeeded."
The word "design" there is most likely to be a mistranslation of what the site probably meant was the iPhone naming convention. Clearly the designs of the iPhone 6 through iPhone 8 have not been the same, but it's somewhat true that the naming convention has been consistent.
It's not entirely true because we didn't have an iPhone 2 or even an iPhone 3, instead going from iPhone to iPhone 3G. It also ignores all the S versions of iPhones. Yet even on its own terms, looking only between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 8, the naming convention was ignored for the original iPhone SE.
Macotakara has a spotty record in reporting hardware rumors from what it calls its "informed sources." However, it's possible that its sources have strong information that is being misinterpreted. Such as when it reported correctly that the then forthcoming 2018 iPad Pro models would have Face ID, but wrongly asserted that this would only work in portrait orientation.
The Macotakara report also claims to confirm the specifications of the iPhone SE replacement, and these match previous reports from other sources. The phone is expected to have an A13 Bionic chip and be housed in an iPhone 8-like case with Touch ID.
The more regularly reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo most recently said that the "iPhone SE 2" would come in 2020, along with an "iPhone SE 2 Plus" in 2021.

Who cares what the name is.
I just want it to appear so I can replace my iPhone SE.

t would be odd to launch a 4.7" iPhone Spring 2020 and then launch a 9 Plus a year later. Apple tends to launch new lines simultaneously. It sounds like Apple wants to keep around the classic iPhone form factor for those that are budget conscious and / or prefer TouchID over FaceID but if they're going to do that they should do it right so it develops into a clean product line. Something along the lines of this for Fall 2020 would work;
iPhone 9 / 9 Plus ($399 / $499)
iPhone 12 ($699 / $799)
iPhone 12 Pro ($999 / $1,099)
That way only the iPhone 9 lineup with the classic form factor is relegated to LCD screens while the new modern-looking iPhones are OLED screens. No confusion.

iPhone 9 makes much more sense than iPhone SE2 or similar. After all, if it's an upgrade of the existing iPhone 8, with the rumoured specs, it deserves a new name. It doesn't sound like another iPhone 5 refresh. But, I'm happy to be completely wrong.
The SE lovers have been pretty vocal about this NOT being what they wanted as an upgrade of their beloved device. Calling it iPhone 9 rather than SE might deflect some of their disappointment/anger.

So if these are unlikely rumors, why post these? Just to stay relevant? Seems like there's plenty to discuss that are not week rumors… right?

Randomised Clinical Trials and Observational Studies: the Ratio in the Hierarchy of Evidence of the Efficacy of Drugs
S. Yu. Martsevich, N. P. Kutishenko
https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2016-12-5-567-573
The role of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies in evaluation of the efficacy and safety of cardiology drugs is compared in the article. The clear conclusion is made that RCTs are the basis of modern evidence-based medicine, and that they have no alternative. Observational studies conducted in compliance with the modern rules can be a source of information on the efficacy of drugs only in the absence of data from RCTs.

Morgridge Experts
Paul Ahlquist
Director of the Morgridge Institute's John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Center for Research in Virology
Viruses not only block host defense genes, but actively exploit many other host gene functions to replicate. The Ahlquist Lab is defining virus-host interactions to shed light on infection and to develop broad-spectrum antivirals.
The lab also investigates the connections between viruses and cancer. Roughly 15 percent of human cancers are caused by specific tumor viruses. The team is deciphering how such tumor viruses infect and drive tumor development, and how to prevent or treat these cancers.
Biology can't be understood by studying single genes any more than a novel could be understood by studying single words. The team uses systematic, genome-wide analyses to increase understanding of virus infection and control.
Josh Coon
Morgridge metabolism investigator and professor of biomolecular chemistry, UW-Madison
The Coon Lab develops and applies mass spectrometric technology to study human health. They use these tools to answer fundamental questions in cell biology and to study human diseases including Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart failure, viral infection, cancer, obesity and asthma, among several others.
In April 2020, the Coon Lab launched a project with Dr. Ariel Jaitovich, physician at Albany Medical Center, to analyze plasma samples from approximately 150 COVID-19 patients and a control group. They are using mass spectrometry to find differences in the metabolic signatures of these cases between people who experienced a wide range of symptoms, from minimal to severe. It may provide promising targets for treatment and help predict severity.
Anthony Gitter
Morgridge investigator in virology and assistant professor of biostatistics and medical informatics, UW-Madison
Research in the Gitter Lab involves designing algorithms that leverage biological networks to connect different types of experimental data and detect surprising relationships among them. They use such techniques to study human disease, in particular cancer and viral infection.
The Gitter Lab co-developed a software tool called Manubot to orchestrate a rapid expert assessment of COVID-19 diagnostics and therapeutics. The tool is contributing to an international collaborative effort to organize and consolidate the rapidly emerging scientific literature related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.
Pilar Ossorio
Morgridge bioethicist in residence and professor of law and bioethics, UW-Madison
Ossorio's research interests include governance of large-scale biosciences research, protections for people who participate in research, data sharing, ethics of "big data" science and uses of race in research and medicine.
She also serves as a consultant to major pharmaceutical companies and has helped provide direction on potential candidates for drugs that could be repurposed to help COVID-19 patients, while addressing some of the downstream ethical issues those decisions can cause. Additionally, she has been providing expertise on the ethical application of scarce medical resources during the pandemic, as well as the need for sound clinical trials that may help end the pandemic.
Ron Stewart
Morgridge associate director of bioinformatics
The Stewart Bioinformatics Group at Morgridge develops algorithms and performs analysis of several types of big biomedical data. This includes RNA sequencing data to evaluate the genes expressed in a cell or tissue, genome sequencing data, other forms of sequencing data, and text. We apply these questions primarily to address questions about regenerative biology and cancer, but they are applicable to a wide range of biomedical inquiries.
In April 2020, Stewart and bioinformatics colleague Scott Swanson joined the partnership with Albany Medical Center to provide RNA-seq analysis of more than 150 plasma samples from patients who are recovering from COVID-19 infection. The goal is to identify particular gene or protein signatures representing pathophysiological states such as coagulation, inflammation, and cell death that correlate with disease severity.
The Stewart group has developed algorithms for mining information from text. Stewart's team is applying text mining algorithms and other methods to evaluate all 30 million papers in the PubMed biomedical database to find drugs that may be potentially repurposed for treating COVID-19 patients.
Miron Livny and Brian Bockelman
Morgridge investigators in core research computing
Livny and Bockelman lead the Center for High-Throughput Computing (CHTC), which brings together a unique ensemble of scientists whose goals are to stimulate new discoveries by providing scientists with effective and dependable access to a broad range of state-of-the-art computing capabilities. By dramatically increasing their computing throughput, scientists who use CHTC have greatly increased the size and complexity of the problems they study.
High-throughput computing may prove valuable to understanding the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The center has a project supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for data mining and extraction from publication documents related to COVID-19. The team has currently accumulated 12 million documents in its data center relevant to coronaviruses.
Kevin Eliceiri and Brandon Walker
Morgridge Institute Fab Lab
The Morgridge Fab Lab collaborates with inventors on computer-aided design, prototyping, 3D printing, microfluidics and fabrication, from conception to completion. The campus-wide facility can assist with the more experimental phases of a research effort by generating early-stage prototypes and novel research tools.
One positive of COVID-19 relief work has been the overwhelming community effort to develop and source personal protective equipment (PPE) to area hospitals and medical workers. This effort was initiated and managed by the UW-Madison Makerspace, and includes staff and faculty from many UW-Madison departments, community makerspaces, and industrial partners, both small and large. Staff members of the Morgridge Fab Lab are proud to aid in this effort by sharing their expertise, helping build the community, and making industry connections. Additionally, the team has contributed during the design phase when possible for a variety of PPE projects. The team hopes the efforts of the Madison area maker community will help alleviate or even prevent PPE shortages being felt locally.

Nicki Minaj agrees to pay copyright settlement to Tracy Chapman
By Donnie Moorhouse | Special to The Republican
Nicki Minaj will be sorry she sampled a Tracy Chapman song to the tune of a $450,000.
Minaj has agreed to pay Chapman for using a piece of her single "Baby Can I Hold You," on her song "Sorry."
The song was not part of Minaj's 2018 album "Queen" but was "leaked" and, according to the lawsuit, was picked up by a deejay and played on the radio in New York City and shared on social media accounts.
"Baby Can I Hold You" came off of Chapman's 1988 self-titled debut that launched the folk-singer into public consciousness.

In Q1 2016, the PayScale Index illustrates how tech spurred wage growth in STEM-heavy cities and that the oil and gas crisis is definitely not over.
Seattle, WA – April 1, 2016 – Today, PayScale, Inc., the leader in cloud compensation data and software for businesses and individuals, released the Q1 2016 PayScale Index which tracks quarterly and annual trends in compensation and also provides a U.S. national wage forecast for the coming quarter. In the first quarter of 2015, U.S. annual wage growth was largely positive with growth for various industries ranging from 4.6 percent (transportation jobs) to -2.2 percent (marketing and advertising Jobs). However, overall wage growth was still tepid, as quarterly growth in Q1 was 0.2 percent and annual growth was 1.8 percent. The PayScale Index predicts wage growth in Q2 2016 will experience a slight downtick of -0.2 percent, resulting in annual wage growth of 2.0 percent.
Metros with a high prevalence of STEM workers performed well this quarter, with Seattle topping the list of metros for annual wage growth at 3.6 percent and quarterly wage growth of 1.8 percent.
Other STEM heavy metros did well this quarter as well: Minneapolis had the second highest annual growth at 2.6 percent and San Francisco tied for third with 2.4 percent.
Wage growth in these metros may be driven by an increase in the number of data-focused positions – such as data scientists, data mining engineers or business intelligence analysts – which have experienced very strong wage growth over the last few quarters.
Once again, transportation jobs topped the list for the highest annual wage growth at 4.6 percent; more than a full percentage higher than the next job family, installation, maintenance and repair jobs.
Similarly, the transportation industry also had a strong quarter for annual wage growth at 2.4 percent.
After some wage recovery in Q4 2015, wages once again fell in Q1 2016, dropping 1.8 percent from Q4 2015 for an annual decrease of 0.7 percent; the lowest of any industry.
Being an oil city, Houston was at the bottom of the metro list for annual wage growth with 0.0 percent growth. In addition, quarterly wages in the city dropped by 1.4 percent, which was the lowest of any metro.
Similar to the U.S., most measures showed annual positive wage growth in Canada.
The exception was the oil city of Edmonton where quarterly wages fell 1.4 percent and annual wage growth was down 0.8 percent.
Quarterly wage growth in Q1 2016 experienced a slight increase of 0.1 percent, which resulted in annual wage growth of 1.8 percent.
Wages in the U.K. grew by 9.9 percent since 2006, tied with the U.S. and lagging behind Canada (12.1 percent).
Real wages are down 6.5 percent since 2006, reflecting an improvement over the past three years during which real wages reached a low of more than 8 percent.
PayScale real wages are calculated by analyzing nominal wage growth and the average change in price of a fixed basket of goods and services.

James Forrest: from Bhoy to Celtic legend
Sam Hendry
370 appearances, 82 goals and on Wednesday a new four-year contract. Unsung and even derided at times by his own fans, James Forrest is now one of the first names on the team-sheet and is set to cement himself as a Celtic legend.
The winger will be 32 by the time his new deal expires. At that point the window for a move down south or abroad – rumoured in the past – will surely have closed. The player himself has said he is "delighted" to be at Celtic Park and why wouldn't he be? The winner of 17 trophies and the current PFA Scotland Player of the Year – all at his boyhood club he joined at the age of nine.
"I'm absolutely delighted to extend my stay here and I'm looking forward to winning more league titles and cups with the club. If you ask any player or member of staff, they all know how much the fans mean to the club and how big this club is," he said. "It's great to be here, especially when you're winning trophies and doing well, it's a great feeling."
It's not been all plain sailing for Forrest, though. While his talent has never been in doubt, there have been times in his Celtic career where injuries and inconsistency have threatened his future at the club.
Promising beginnings
It was Neil Lennon who oversaw then 18-year old Forrest's burst onto the scene in 2010. He marked his debut with a goal in a 4-0 win over Motherwell. When Aiden McGeady left that summer, hopes were high among the Bhoys support that they had a ready-made replacement. After a year being eased into the first-team squad, Forrest's star continued to rise in the 2011/12 campaign.
43 appearances, two Young Player of the Year awards, a place on FIFA's list of 13 players to watch and a rumoured call up to the GB Olympic football team: the world was at his feet. But an injury suffered in the League Cup final ended his season prematurely and led to a succession of further problems. His next two years were marred by a series of knee and muscle issues and without a prolonged period of fitness, his form dipped.
When he rejected the offer of a new contract in 2016 – a season in which he scored just twice in 33 games and fell out of favour with manager Ronny Deila – it appeared inevitable he was heading for the Parkhead exit door.
However, the arrival of Brendan Rodgers would change everything.
The Rodgers rejuvenation
The former Liverpool manager could see the potential was still there. After Forrest scored the first league goal of the Rodgers era, he was immediately handed a new three-year deal. At a time where fellow winger Patrick Roberts was establishing himself as a darling in the eyes of the Parkhead faithful, the Scot's hard work and determination began to win round his detractors. An invincible treble later and a place in Celtic history was ensured no matter what followed. As it turned out, the best was yet to come.
The 2017/18 season would prove to be the seminal point of Forrest's Celtic career. With Roberts struggling with injury, he was given the chance to nail down a spot in Rodgers first-choice line-up – something he managed with startling effect. 31 league starts were the most he had ever managed and for the first time he breached double figures for goals. 17 of them in total, including a strike in the League Cup final for the second year running and a first senior hat-trick.
Still, there was one thing missing from his résumé: a goal in an Old Firm derby. When Celtic hosted Rangers in April 2018 needing a win to seal their seventh consecutive league title, the outcome appeared predetermined. Rangers left-back Andy Halliday was terrorised as the Hoops ran riot, Forrest netting a stunning solo goal in a 5-0 humiliation of their greatest rivals.
The peak years
Now fully trusted by both the management team and supporters, Forrest continues to go from strength to strength. Another 17 goals last year included arguably his most important when he scored the winning goal in what was effectively a title-deciding Old Firm encounter. In August, he became the first Celtic player since Paul McStay to score in 11 consecutive seasons for the club. Having already found the net 10 times this season, it will be no surprise were he to break the 20-goal barrier. Once again under the guidance of Lennon, things are coming full circle as Forrest enters his peak years.
A glance at the stats tells you all you need to know about his recent ascendancy. 114 appearances in the last two seasons is only four less than the amount he managed in double the timeframe between 2012 and 2016. At that pace, by the time his new contract expires he will have passed the milestone of 500 and be pushing for a place in the top 10 of the club's all-time appearance makers.
His loyalty to Celtic in an era where it has never been easier to be drawn away by the flashy lights and big money contracts of Europe's top leagues is to be applauded. If Forrest sees out the rest of his playing days at Paradise, there will be no denying him a place in the pantheon of Celtic greats.

To be honest, they are in a different neighborhood but I couldn't think of a word for someone else that lives in your city but not on your block. Citymate? Neighboring-neighbor? I dunno. But I think of them as the owners of the Halloween House and I have to go by to see what they have come up with every year. (I've blogged about them a time or two before.) I think this is my favorite so far; they have really outdone themselves. One of these days I need to stop when someone is in the yard. I have so many questions! Mostly to do with budget and storage.
The dogs' names are (from left to right) Zero, Maxwell Silver-hammer, and Queequeg. (I name everything, by the way. I originally named the parrot and cat skeletons Polly and Pyewacket, but only to myself. Then, on a whim, I asked Ethan what he thought their names should be and he said, without hesitation, "Pierical," pointing at the parrot, and "Port Jackson," pointing at the cat. So, obviously, those are their names now. He said he didn't know where he got the ideas for his names but clearly we were both feeling the letter "P.") I bought the inflatable dogs last year after the fellas moved in because I wanted to make sure we had a fun yard for Ethan and the neighborhood kids. And also because, dogs.
My neighbor responded with that blank look that translates as a reminder to socially awkward people to avoid face to face contact in the future.
At any rate, they are back up for the holiday. And I haven't unplugged them this year. Not even once.

If you want to save some money on that overpriced taxi fare, check out Hitchsters, the new service that will match you up with another traveler so that you can split the cost of a taxi ride.
The service, in beta in New York right now, tells people with similar travel plans what each other's cell phone numbers are so that they can coordinate their rides. It's smart about its connections. For trips from the airport into town, for instance, it will match you only with people from your own flight (otherwise, flight delays would probably make it useless).
I'm in favor of anything that both reduces travel expense and cuts down on pollution, but nonetheless I have a problem with this program. The system doesn't vouch for its users, so you have no idea who you're going to get matched up with. The only thing you can state on the service is a gender preference. There's no "not a psycho killer" box.
Also, a friend--a New Yorker, in fact--said this to me when I told him about the product: "You're kidding, right? This is really a whole company?" I'm not sure it is, actually, since on the site's FAQ, the answer to "How does Hitchsters make money?" is, "We are still trying to figure that out."
Still, in many cities, New York in particular, a taxi ride to or from the airport is a very big expense. If you want to make an adventure out of that part of your journey, as well as possibly save some money, give it a try. Also check out Airtroductions, which will try to find you a better seatmate than the one the airline issues. And see my old column "Stuck in the middle with who?" for more travel tips.

A nuclear briefcase is a specially outfitted briefcase used to authorize the use of nuclear weapons and is usually kept near the leader of a nuclear weapons state at all times.

France
In France, the nuclear briefcase does not officially exist. A black briefcase called the "mobile base" follows the president in all his trips, but it is not specifically devoted to nuclear force.

India
India does not have a nuclear briefcase. In India, the Political Council of the Nuclear Command Authority (NCA) must collectively authorize the use of nuclear weapons. The NCA Executive Council gives its opinion to the Political Council, which authorises a nuclear attack when deemed necessary. While the Executive Council is chaired by the National Security Advisor (NSA), the Political Council is chaired by the Prime Minister. This mechanism was implemented to ensure that Indian nuclear weapons remain firmly in civilian control and that there exists a sophisticated command-and-control mechanism to prevent their accidental or unauthorised use.

The Prime Minister is often accompanied by Special Protection Group personnel carrying a black briefcase. It contains foldable Kevlar protection armor, essential documents and has a pocket that can hold a pistol.

Pakistan
On 11 April 2019, the BBC revealed footage of Prime Minister Imran Khan carrying a black briefcase that contains the codes to Pakistan's nuclear weapons.

Russia

Russia's "nuclear briefcase" is code-named Cheget. It "supports communication between senior government officials while they are making the decision whether to use nuclear weapons, and in its own turn is plugged into the special Kazbek communication system, which includes all the individuals and agencies involved in command and control of the Strategic Nuclear Forces." It is usually assumed, although not known with certainty, that the nuclear briefcases are also issued to the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff of the Russian Federation.

The Peacekeeper (1997)
Deterrence (1999): Fictional US President Walter Emerson uses his nuclear briefcase to authorize a nuclear attack on the city of Baghdad, Iraq. A group of rogue veterans turned terrorist manages to steal the briefcase

24 (TV series) (2005): Terrorists get their hands on the nuclear briefcase and steal a page from the book containing activation codes and warhead locations.
Swing Vote (2008): The incumbent president attempts to impress a key voter by letting him hold the nuclear football.

Salt (2010): The US President reacts to Russia's threatening nuclear posture by deploying the briefcase and authenticating his identity; shortly afterwards, a Soviet sleeper agent kills the presidential security detail and uses the briefcase to issue nuclear attack orders.

HomeArts & CultureCountry singer's devotion to music is taking him places
Country singer's devotion to music is taking him places
Jul 28, 2013 Arts & Culture, Morinville News, People 2
Morinville – Justin Hogg is a familiar face in Morinville's music scene, having performed frequently at school and community events for a number of years. But the 20-year-old singer / songwriter's dedication to his craft is taking him to new gigs and new opportunities outside the community. In the past six months Hogg has opened for two major country music artists. He's hoping to one day enjoy the same success as those he has opened for.
"I'm really looking at going commercial with my music and bringing it to the radio and promoting it that way," Hogg said, adding he would love to have more people hear his music. "It's just expanding, really. Taking bigger steps in my career."
That career started eight years ago. Hogg's earliest musical memories are of singing with his father, but it was when his mother bought him a guitar when he was 12 that he really got interested. Two years later the then 14-year-old musician began playing live. Eventually he started writing his own music and it was in writing songs that Hogg really found a way to express himself. He has never stopped working on his music.
A construction worker by day, Hogg's main objective in life is to be a professional musician. He describes his original music as country without the twang, something akin to southern rock. He's performed that sound at several bigger venues in and out of town this year, took fourth place in a competition in Parkland County, and has opened for Charlie Major at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre this spring and for Jake Matthews this past weekend.
Recording his own music
The next chapter of Hogg's dream includes finishing an album of original music he began recording at Smith Music Studios a year ago. That process got off track a bit as Hogg waited for some surgery that would ultimately help with his singing A few weeks ago Hogg went under the knife to remove nasal polyps and to fix a deviated septum.
"My nasal passages were messed up," he said, adding his voice has really benefited from the surgery. "I can breathe better when I'm singing. I find my voice to be a lot clearer. I can hear myself better. I find I'm learning new things about my voice because I can breathe when I sing. Before my surgery I could never really sing with my falsetto voice. Everybody I know who sings can do it and it really bother me that I couldn't figure out how to do it. Now that I can breathe, it is starting to come, and I guess that was just the answer to my problem. I couldn't breathe."
The CD will still take several months of recording time to get the all-original tracks laid down just right. Hogg said he is hoping to play most of the parts on the album himself rather than using session musicians.
"[Country singer] Hunter Hayes kind of inspired me to do it because when I heard his album I then found out he wrote all the parts to it," Hogg said. That album is him – nobody else wrote any of it. He felt every note in the entire album. I think it would be so cool to have an album that is entirely me, that I put my entire soul into and worked my butt off for it."
Hard work has never been a problem for Hogg. The musician said it is not uncommon for him to spend eight hours a day working on his music, usually after a full day working as a contractor. "I really don't look at it as work," he said. "A lot of people say if you want to be a professional musician you've got to play eight hours a day and you've got to be able to perform for five hours straight. The practicing eight hours a day part doesn't scare me at all because I do that most days. I just come home from work and I go to work on my music. I'm never at a stand still with it instrumental wise because I can never know every part of every instrument. There's always something to learn."
The musician said he is grateful for the support his parents, friends and community have shown him as he has worked to become a professional musician. "My family is great for support and my friends are just as good," Hogg said. "They treat me like my family when it comes to that."

Kirsten Naughton says:
Congrats Justin in all your success and I wish the best of luck in your future. 🙂

3 takeaways from No. 13 LSU's overtime upset over No. 5 Tennessee
LSU upsets Tennessee in overtime
The throne atop the SEC just got a bit more crowded.
The No. 13 LSU Tigers pulled off an upset win at home on Saturday, taking down No. 5 Tennessee in overtime in front of a sold out crowd at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge. The win, powered by late-game heroics and timely free throw shooting, makes a three-way for first in the SEC standings.
How 'bout them Tigers today, baby!?
The PMAC was ELECTRIC 💥 pic.twitter.com/YaeGc9883i
— LSU Basketball (@LSUBasketball) February 23, 2019
Saturday's victory for Will Wade's side marked the second time this season it had beaten a team ranked in the Top 5 of the AP Poll. The first, of course, was when they beat Kentucky on a buzzer-beating tip-in on Feb. 12 in Rupp Arena.
POINT TRACKER: We're tracking Mike Daum on his way to 3,000 career points
LSU (22-5; 12-2 SEC) won this game for several reasons, one of which was because of its stellar performance at the charity stripe. LSU shot 24-of-31 from the free throw line, a 77.4 percent clip.
While Tennessee (24-3; 12-2 SEC) out-rebounded the Tigers and had three scorers in double-figures, it didn't make the big shots when they counted.
THE BRACKET: Print the official 2019 March Madness bracket
Smart, Mays lead the way late
To beat the Vols, the Tigers needed overtime, and some incredible playmaking from Skylar Mays and Ja'vonte Smart.
Mays helped LSU get to overtime with some big plays in the final moments of regulation. With about a minute and 15 seconds left, he nailed a three-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game up. On the Tigers' next possession, Mays drew a foul and swished a pair of free throws to give the Tigers their first lead of the second half. The junior 6-foot-4 guard finished the game with 23 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Smart grabbed the clutch-baton from Mays and ran with it in overtime. He connected on a lay-up in traffic to give LSU a lead with 59 seconds left, and then with just 0.6 seconds left, he secured a defensive rebound and drew a foul. The freshman hit both of his free throws to give LSU the victory. Smart notched a career-high 29 points and also tallied five rebounds, five assists and three steals.

LSU defense was opportunistic
Aside from Smart and Mays' high-scoring performances, one of the major reasons LSU was able to pull out the victory was because of its defense.
While Tennessee's shooting percentages were decent for the game — 44.8 from the floor and 36.4 from behind the arc — LSU locked down in overtime and forced the Vols into four misses, three of which were from outside.

The Vols also turned the ball over 14 times and the Tigers turned those free possessions into offense, totaling 17 points off Vols' turnovers. LSU also had 13 offensive rebounds and 17 points off second chances.

SEC picture
LSU is now tied at the top of the SEC standings with Kentucky and Tennessee. If the standings stay the same through the end of the season, LSU will take the crown, as the Tigers have wins over the Wildcats and Volunteers.
Remaining on the Tigers' regular season slate are all unranked opponents in Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida and Vanderbilt. However, the Tigers game against the Gators won't be a walk in the park. It's in Gainesville and Florida has already beaten LSU once this season.
As for the Vols, they also have four games remaining, three of which are against unranked Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Auburn. The fourth is in Knoxville against No. 4 Kentucky. Like this game, that match-up will have a lot of an impact on the SEC heading into conference tournament season.

19. Here is King's Road in about 1902. On the right was Mutton's famous hotel and restaurant, which lasted untill929. On the left of the lamp post was the Alhambra Opera House and Theatre, before it became a silent and then a talkie cinema. Westwards are the Grand Hotel, and the Hotel Metropole, little changed externa1ly in over eighty years, But all the buildings on the extreme right have now been replaced by the large concrete Conference Centre. By today's standards the promenade surface in our photograph was very rough and uneven, because the main road was not yet tarred.
20. On October 12, 1912, the Duke of Norfolk unveiled a monument to the late King Edward VII, at the seafront boundary of Brighton and Hove. Called the Peace Statue, it was a tribute to the monarch who had often visited both towns, and was the result of a competition for the most suitable memorial. The winning entry came from a sculptor named Newbury Trent, who designed a female figure of peace at a cost of !1,000. The card shows the Duke, in a plumed hat, pulling the cord unveiling the statue. To help him there were the Brighton municipal chorus, troops of the Territorials, Royal Artillery, and Sussex Yeomanry, with the Bishop of Chichester to add a prayer. Only two years after this picture of the statue was published, the peace of Europe was shattered when the First Wor1d War broke out. The monument is now a meeting place for meetings and demonstrations.
21. This is what the elegant West Pier looked like in 1894, photographed by the Victorian Francis Frith. Although the theatre at the south end had then been built, there was not yet a central concert hall, on1y a small bandstand. The promenade, railings, shelter and seats are still there today, but the horse cabs waiting on the rank have been replaced by cars. The pier was designed by Eugenius Birch, who also built the North Pier, Blackpool, and the Brighton Aquarium. When it opened in 1866, it immediate1y became popular with fashionable residents and visitors. In 1875 more than 600,000 people paid to saunter along its wooden decks. When Mr. Frith took our photograph, new landing stages at the theatre end had just been built for steamboats. In 1983 the pier was closed and a centre of controversy. The victim of neg1ect, lack of finance, and the impact of television and other attractions, its future was uncertain.
22. This was Brighton seafront in 1903, viewed from the top of the West Pier theatre. On the right is the Hotel Metropole, long before it lost its attractive spire, now replaced by a rooftop restaurant. Opposite the entrance to the pier is Regency Square, whose householders had originally objected to the building of the two large entrance kiosks, which residents complained would spoil the sea view. A feature of both of the town's piers was the free seating along the outer railings, which was retained until after the Second World War. Sitting out on a pier deck meant having your back to the sea, because in 1903 there were no canvas deck chairs.
proff: ~yrîl's Rerial ~y,le DIva. lJe ... t pier, Bri bton,
23. In the summer of 1911-12 Professor Cyril, whose real name was Albert Higgins Heppell, gave death-defying diving exhibitions from the end of the West Pier. Three times daily, he rode on a bicycle out along the diving board and dropped far below into the sea. But on Whit-Monday bank holiday, 1912, in full view of hundreds of visitors, he was suddenly pitched from his cycle onto the iron deck, and died twenty minutes later. After this, similar acts were banned. Earlier aerial cyclists from the pier had included Professor Powsey and Professor Reddish. There were always plenty of eccentric performers to entertain the crowds. Old Black Charlie, a cheerful giant negro, who died in 1922, used to throw sticks to an enormous height, and boasted that fr om the entrance to the pier he could hurl a stick over the top of the Hotel Metropole.

24. Fishermen are seen landing a shoal of maekerel on the erowded beach, in 1905. The West Pier, with its theatre at the end, ean be seen in the background, and on the right, in King's Road, is the white façade of the Grand Hotel and the spire of the Metropole, sinee removed. Brighton fishermen were a superstitious lot, and it was customary to bend in, or fold and bend, the fishing nets on the beaeh - the word bend being short for benediction or blessing. The Brighton fishing trawlers were ealled Heek Boats, Hog Boats, or Hoggies. They were rigged with two spritsails, a foresail and jib, and were flat-bottomed with large bilge pieces, so that it was easy to launeh them and haul them up the pebbles, where they stayed upright when beaehed.

25. This was the old fish market on the beach in about 1910, when local fishermen prospered, and there was a large fleet of trawlers. Most of the fishing families lived in The Lanes, or near Edward Street, and conditions had changed greatly since 1860, when alocal surgeon described the colony's families as being 'of the lowest type, all crowded together, and I have seen on Sunday momings girls of ten or twelve, or even a year or two older, walking in front of the houses absolutely stark naked'. The same observer reported: 'In the gardens and paths in front of the houses, skins and intestines of fish were lying about in every state of decomposition.' Eventually, it was the smell of fish on the beaches that led the town council, against considerable opposition, to move the fish market inland. Brighton then became a pleasure resort, not a fishing town, and no doubt the lady promenaders found the sea air more pure. Nowadays it is not easy to buy locally caught fresh fish on the beach, but a few fishermen may still be seen mending their nets and lobster pots in the arches on the lower promenade.
26. Another view of the fish hard on the beach in about 1902. Apart from the holiday trade, fishing was the main industry in the small town until about 1880, when some 150 trawlers were working from the area between Kemp Town and the Hove boundary. But after the 1914-1918 war the fish market became less profitable, fish being brought in refrigerated trains from other towns. Despite protests from the fishing families, the beach market was finally moved into the town. Our card shows the old open market, still there today, buh without fisherrnen's barrows, and with very few local marckerel, plaice, dabs, whiting and lobsters on sale. The large building in King's Road is the Old Ship Hotel. At the time our photo was taken fresh herrings were sold at twenty for a shilling; but in those days a large loaf cost only 3d., potatoes were 7 Ibs. for 6d., sugar was 2d. a lb., shoes could be soled and heeled for Is. 6d., and local ncwspapers cost a halfpenny.
27. A rooftop prospect of King's Road in about 1904, Iooking west towards the West Pier and Hove. The road had not yet been surfaced with tarmac, which was not put down until about 1907, after the Madeira Drive highway had proved a success. In those days there was a hard-standing for horse cabs on the south side of the road. The higher stretches of the pebbly beach were used by fishermen as areas for drying their nets. The road had been opened in 1822 by George IV, to celebrate the anniversary of his accession to the throne, and it was, and still is, the most popular seaside carriage way and esplanade in England. But today it looks very different; the iron railings separating the roadway from the promenade have gone; and the nets and clumsy but functional bathing machines have disappeared. Nowadays, most bathers change on the beach, the old restrictions having gene, together with the leisurely pace of the few vehicles seen in our picture.
28. The fishing fleet, including the famous Skylark pleasure yacht, is seen east of the Palace Pier in about 1890. The ownerskipper was the noted Captain Frederick Collins, a fishennan who in about 1883 started running pleasure trips from the beach. He founded the fleet of Skylarks, which were beached near the foot of West Street. His cry of 'Any more for the Skylark?' became a national catch-phrase. He was bom in Russell Street in 1832, and died in 1912, aged 80, but there had been a Collins on Brighton beach since 1700. The family were all inshore sailors, like the Killicks, Leaches, Brapples, Gunns, Rolfs, Woods, Friends, and Gillams. Frederick Collins was coxswain of the town lifeboat, and in 1887 he started the Iocal watennans' annual regatta. Three boats from the family fleet were lost at Dunkirk in 1940. Today the Skylarks are almost forgotten, and Brighton's beaches are less coIourful.

Badam or almond halwa is a very rich and delicious Indian sweet made with blanched and pureed almonds, ghee and sugar. It can be prepared on any festive occasions like ugadi, diwali, holi or lakshmi puja. Badam halwa can be had on any normal day too as almonds are healthy. They are a good source of nutrients and can be given to growing children. Since they are high in nutrition, it gives strength to the body.
Do try this halwa on any special or festive occasions and enjoy with your family!!
Soak the almonds for upto 4 hours. Peel off the skin and rinse them thoroughly. Alternatively, you can soak the almonds in hot boiling water for 5 minutes. Then it becomes easier to remove the skin. Now grind the peeled almonds with 1/2 cup of milk to make a smooth paste.
Keep it aside. Heat 4 tablespoons of ghee in a heavy bottomed or non-stick pan on medium flame.
Once the ghee becomes hot, add the almond paste, remaining 1/2 cup of milk and saffron strings. Mix well.
Cook on low to medium flame and keep stirring continuously. Once the mixture begins to thicken, add 2 tablespoons of ghee and keep stirring on low flame for a minute. Ghee prevents the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add the remaining ghee and cardamom powder and mix well. Keep cooking on low flame by stirring continuously.
The halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan and will start to thicken. This is the right consistency. You can then switch off the flame. Pour the mixture on to a greased plate and once cooled down, cut the halwa into desired shapes.
Yummy badam halwa is ready to be served.
Once the halwa cools down, it will harden a bit. Once cooked, you can spread the mixture on a plate evenly. Once cooled down, you can cut the halwa into square or diamond shapes.
Ensure to stir continuously so that the halwa does not get burnt at the bottom of the pan.
You can add more sugar if you want little more sweeter in taste. Otherwise 1 cup of sugar is appropriate for the halwa.
Use good quality of ghee and sugar for better taste.
Once cooled down, store in an airtight container and refrigerate it. It stays good for 3-4 days.
Always cook on a low or medium flame to avoid getting burnt.

Q: What is 'Mimic 2' about?
Q: Is 'Mimic 2' based on a book?
This movie was worst than the first Mimic movie. First of all the plot of the movie is pretty bad. It's about a cockroach race that has come back to haunt the people of New York.
Remy(alix koromzay) an elementary school teacher, is the main character of the movie, she teaches a children biology. Klaskin(Bruno Campos) plays the detective, who tries to find out the mysterious murderer incidents. In the beginning of the movie, the story already falls apart. We don't even know where the cockroaches even come from. The story isn't good at all and the effects are typical. There's even a scene that seems to copy a part of a movie from every bug movie ever made IE Ticks. Believe me this movie is not worth to watch. 82 min is not worth it to waste your day. Rent the first mimic at least the acting and the scenes are much better.
