Now Reading Lesson Learned from King Guillermo's 49-1 Upset in Tampa Bay Derby
Lesson Learned from King Guillermo's 49-1 Upset in Tampa Bay Derby
March 14th, 2020 by Bob Ehalt
King Guillermo won the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby March 7 at 49-1 odds. (Eclipse Sportswire)
Stakes races attract a circuit's best horses and, on occasion, they can be great wagering opportunities.

Sunday, March 15: 3-6:30 p.m. ET on FS2; post time varies on TVG
A lot of the time, they feature a star who prevails at a short price.
But there are also times when the competitive nature of these races provides a golden opportunity to take a gamble on a longshot.
One such instance happened March 7 in the Grade 2 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby at Tampa Bay Downs.
A key prep for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, the Tampa Bay Derby attracted a field of 12 hoping to move forward on the Road to the Triple Crown.
It also had a standout in the favored Sole Volante who was coming off a sharp 2 ½-length victory on the Tampa main track in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, the steppingstone prep for the Tampa Bay Derby.
Off that effort, he surely deserved consideration, even at his odds of 3-2.
Yet at the same time, there was also fertile ground for a longshot.
One in particular was King Guillermo.
He was listed at 15-1 in the morning line and he surely did not look as formidable as Sole Volante, but there was a reason to believe he could be competitive with the favorite.
The reason why was right there in his past performances. In his last start, he was third in the Pulpit Stakes on turf. Running on turf is not a traditional prep for a race like the Tampa Bay Derby, but what stood out was who beat King Guillermo in the Pulpit.

That was none other than Sole Volante, who exited his win in the Pulpit and then moved to the dirt and finished third in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes before winning the Sam F. Davis.
In the Pulpit, King Guillermo led midway through the race and wound up only 3 ½ lengths behind at the finish line.
So, in King Guillermo you had a horse who was competitive with the favorite. He had run once on dirt and finished sixth but that was at 5 ½ furlongs and he took a big step forward when he was switched to two-turn distances on the turf.
Perhaps it was the distance rather than the surface that sparked the turnaround.
He was also a son of Uncle Mo, whose sons and daughters have fared quite well on turf and dirt, so he had the pedigree to handle the surface change.
But what he really had going for him was his odds. As post time approached, his 15-1 morning line soared to 49-1.

Think about that. There was one horse who was 3-2 and another who was 49-1. There was 3 ½ lengths between them at the wire in their previous meeting, which was a sizeable difference but much smaller than $95 difference between them on the toteboard.
Perhaps at 15-1, you could look past King Guillermo, but the value he offered at 49-1 was quite appealing and worth at least a small play or use in the exotics.
If all of that value resonated with you, you were surely king for a day.
King Guillermo switched over to the main track just as smoothly as Sole Volante did. He pressed the pace, then took over turning for home and drew clear to win by 4 ¾ lengths.
He paid a regal $100.40 for a $2 wager.
Better yet, if you hooked up the two rivals from the Pulpit in the exacta it paid $359.80.
Either one was a nice reward for letting value steer you to a winner.

The above will execute the search against the twitter index for all the requests that don't define an index, and the last one will be executed against the twitter2 index.
The request parameter max_concurrent_shard_requests can be used to control the maximum number of concurrent shard requests the each sub search request will execute. This parameter should be used to protect a single request from overloading a cluster (e.g., a default request will hit all indices in a cluster which could cause shard request rejections if the number of shards per node is high). This default is based on the number of data nodes in the cluster but at most 256.In certain scenarios parallelism isn't achieved through concurrent request such that this protection will result in poor performance. For instance in an environment where only a very low number of concurrent search requests are expected it might help to increase this value to a higher number.

When is violence the answer?
In part 5 of our Religion & violence blog series Ben Ryan reflects on whether sometimes, real change can only be brought about by violence. 30/07/18

This blog series has concerned itself with the question of whether religion is violent, and what can be done about religious violence. Perhaps the question we should have asked is not whether religion is violent but whether it ought to be?
Most Christian teaching today has come to emphasize non–violence as the only authentically Christian response to provocation, threat and injustice. Just the other day, for example, Steve Chalke, one of the UK's more prominent Christian leaders tweeted:
'While Jesus' famous advice about non–violence is regularly dismissed as impractical idealism, no such charge is ever made against war, in spite of the fact that hostility & aggression solve nothing in the long run.'
Chalke Talk 37 podcast & video https://t.co/QrEuoZ2BZV
— Steve Chalke (@SteveChalke) 14 July 2018
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it begets the very thing it seeks to destroy. Violence can never stop violence, simply because every 'successful' violent act deepens our faith in it & leads others to imitate it.
Chalke Talk 37 podcast & video https://t.co/BHLqiNLAl1
Chalke is probably right up to a point. But throughout the history of Christian theology the circumstances that would qualify a conflict as a "just war" have been debated at length, most famously by St Thomas Aquinas. Most branches of Christianity accept, at least in principle, the possibility that war can be justifiable under particular circumstances. Violence may not necessarily solve violence, but the principle that war can serve a just cause to avoid a greater evil is well established.
The more interesting question, so far as I can see, is not whether war can be permitted, but whether the principle that violence can legitimately serve a just cause could not be more broadly applied.
Last year, for example, the Austrian economic historian Walter Scheidel wrote The Great Leveller in which he argued that throughout history (and his scope and data are wide) economic inequality has only ever been reduced by one of the "four horsemen"; war, revolution, state collapse and natural disaster/pandemic. The normal course of human society is that those who have wealth accumulate more and squeeze those that do not. Only one of the four horsemen breaks the cycle; radical change to social structures comes through violent upheaval.
Comfortably ensconced in the West this may seem an unhealthy and dangerous proposition. Democratic structures and checks and balances have been established for the express purpose of managing social and political change (a change of government, or redistribution of wealth, for example) without the use of violence. This may be complacent, given that as Scheidel has shown no such peaceful democratic measure has seemed able to check mounting inequality, and the checks and balances (courts for example) are coming under a sustained attack in many parts of the developed world (Hungary and Poland come to mind, but others are on a worrying trajectory too).
Peaceful resistance is admirable – and can take huge bravery in the face of provocation. Western Christians today (arguably rather less so at the time) are proud to recall the example of Martin Luther King – the US Catholic Bishops conference even called for him to be recognised as a martyr in 2000, despite him not being a Catholic. Yet King's example should not be viewed as being that of a simply pacific talker who convinced people by the force of his logic. A better warning in his words might be: "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'."
A rather sanitized vision of the civil rights movement has proliferated today (superbly critiqued in this New York Times piece), in which nice black people convinced nice white people by peaceful force of argument, high–flying rhetoric, and refusing to give up seats on buses of the righteousness of their cause. Even if we accept that vision of history it still raises difficult questions. The civil rights battle was, and is, a long, painful and unfinished process, and one that has claimed the lives of many of its advocates, including King. This in the USA, one of the world's most advanced democracies, the founding document (the Declaration of Independence) for which famously begins "we hold these truths to be self–evident; that all men are created equal".
If such struggles can happen in a prominent democracy, how much more severe is the context in other parts of the world? The context, for example, that led to Camilo Torres, the Colombian priest whose liberation theology and disgust at the rampant corruption and systematic (often violent) oppression of the poor led to joining a guerrilla army. Colombia is one of the world's most unequal countries, with land near monopolized by a tiny cadre of landowners whose record on treating the peasant population goes a long way to explaining the proliferation of guerrilla paramilitary resistance over many decades. Or alternatively the context that led to Oliver Tambo, who was on the verge of becoming an Anglican priest before the extremities of Apartheid South Africa drove him to take the leadership of the ANC – including through armed struggle.
Glib condemnation of violence in such circumstances accomplishes little. If Scheidel is right, and there are times when only violence accomplishes real change then what we need is a more sophisticated critique of the circumstances that would entail "just violence" – just as Aquinas once did for "just war".

As we all know that Praja Shanthi Party president KA Paul loves to be in limelight and for that he entertains viewers with his funny statements. Recently KA Paul made sensational statements on President of India, Pranab Mukherjee' as he is ineligible' for the 'Bharat Ratna' award.
Paul stated that an organisation in America filed criminal cases against Pranab and summons were also sent to him. He questioned Prime Minister that how can a person with criminal allegations be awarded 'Bharat Ratna' which is the highest civilian award in the country. Paul also stated that, 'Just because BJP has a majority in Lok Sabha, they can't give away civilian awards like their wish. Moreover, Pranab is an RSS sympathizer. Former Lok Sabha speaker Balayogi is a well-deserved candidate for 'Bharat Ratna', yet he is ignored as he is Dalit.' KA Paul termed it a black day and demanded to answer all these questions.

Beryllium-7 as a tracer of surface water subduction and mixed-layer history
David Kadko, Donald Olson
Beryllium-7 is a cosmic-ray-produced radioactive nuclide (half-life 53.3 days) that is deposited upon the ocean surface by rainfall. Beryllium-7 profiles were collected and analyzed in May 1991 and March 1992 as part of the ONR SUBDUCTION program. The 7Be activities were homogeneous in the mixed layer and ranged approximately from 100 to 200 dpm/1000 l. The activities dropped off rapidly in the upper thermocline. The 7Be profiles were modeled using a simple seasonal progression of mixed-layer depth, indicating that seasonal changes in the mixed-layer depth control the main features of the profile. The observed temperature, salinity and 7Be profiles from the May 1991 cruise show warm salinity maxima associated with a layer of high 7Be penetrating into the upper seasonal thermocline. The high 7Be concentration suggests that these waters were in relatively thin mixed layers within, approximately, the past month. The model results indicate that in late spring both salinity and 7Be can respond to a shoaling mixed layer on a similar timescale leading to the observed anomalies in the subducted water layer.

Q: Detect MySQL version or compile individually for installer? I have a custom-built installer for our software and I'm in the process of upgrading/updating it to match our new program. The program works on a Server/Client model. When a new workstation is added as a client it has to install ODBC drivers to connect to the databases on the server.
My question is, should I be trying to connect to the server to get the version of MySQL to determine which drivers I need (3.5, 5.1, etc) by reading a registry key, or should I just compile separate installers for each version? What are the best practices for making installers for different environments?

Joining up with The Siblings Project with these photos of Miss A and Master R. I'm surprised by how many I've managed to capture in the last month.
These first ones were taken on our weekend trip down to Brighton. The place is significant as it was where Mr MoaB and I first met! Happy memories of that night. We never could have imagined that we'd been returning to the bar 8 years later, having moved four times including our latest relocation over 250 miles away from Brighton to Cheshire and now with these 2 gorgeous children!
We had a fun family day out at Jurassic Kingdom and took these photos of the kids playing in the T-Rex head. I love the look of affection that is passing between Miss A and her brother in the top photo.
Every time we go to the local supermarket Miss A wants to sit on the rides outside. I never put any money in but she still always wants to do it. Now Master R has started to want to join in. This picture just makes me giggle but it's just lovely when they'll actually do something together.
Our cheeky monkeys monkeying around! Their expressions peeking through just make me smile in this picture!
And finally this picture which was taken when we went to see a show recently. I knew Miss A would enjoy the show as it had Moana in it, but Master R really seemed to like it too and was bopping and clapping away to the songs. I didn't think Miss A would want Master R in the picture but she did.
They are playing so much more together now and it's so fun to watch. Most of their games involve chasing each other around or they love tumbling around on the floor making each other laugh. There's nothing better than hearing their giggles.


Film downloads struggle to match DVD revenues | What Hi-Fi?
Downloading movies may be all the rage, but the Hollywood studios are struggling to make as much money from digital downloads as they have in the past from DVD sales.
That's the finding of a new report by media research firm IHS Screen Digest, as reported in today's Financial Times.
Traditionally DVDs were a massive revenue stream for Hollywood, generating more than $20bn in sales a year. But since 2006 DVD sales have slumped 25 per cent.
There were hopes that digital downloads would fill the gap, but after the launch of Apple iTunes and a raft of rival services, growth has slowed, according to IHS.
"The retail model that has been so successful with DVD is not going to replicate itself digitally," says Dan Cryan, the author of the report.
"What we're seeing in the US and internationally is a huge surge in digital retail to start off with, but then it flattens out quite quickly."
And while sales of Blu-ray discs are growing, they have not been enough to replace lost DVD income.
There's also grim news for those pinning their hopes on 3D to save the industry: the proportion of audiences paying for higher ticket price 3D films has slipped from its peak 18 months ago and general admissions are down year-on-year.


This is one of those self explanatory songs that one should not explain, try to explain, want to explain, or even think about wanting to try to explain. This is a song you should feel, feel it in your bones of your jaw as your smile widens, feel it in the 60's nostalgia of your parent's bikes, feel the chorus ring into the bah bump bah bah bump bah's and realize that you feel nothing and nothing and bliss and are Happy Together.
such a good one. i could listen to it over and over again.


Her band is about to take an indefinite hiatus, but Fergie is denying that her wish to start a family is the cause.
The 36-year-old singer and her Black Eyed Peas bandmates will call it quits on November 23 after their farewell concert at Florida's Sun Life Stadium.
Peas singer Taboo recently revealed that Fergie decided to temporarily call it a day in order to have babies with husband Josh Duhamel.
The London Bridge singer won't admit that she's feeling broody. Instead, in a new interview with Ocean Drive magazine, she says she simply wants some free time.
'I won't miss sleeping in a different hotel rooms all the time. I want to be home because I moved into my house but I haven't really been able to decorate it fully... just going to museums, going to art galleries, picking out art, things like that that I haven't been able to do lately,' she said evasively.
Band members Taboo, will.i.am and apl.de.ap don't begrudge Fergie wanting to raise kids and she, similarly, returns their love.
Although Fergie won't come clean about the band's breakup, Taboo did so for her.
He denied that his female bandmate is currently pregnant, but says that she could hear the pitter patter of little feet at any time.
'She's focusing on getting through this year, finishing up strong with the Peas. When that time comes -- it doesn't just happen like "Oh, I'm pregnant tomorrow," it's gotta be planned out. And I think she and Josh deserve it. They're such a great couple.
The singer and her New Year's Eve star husband, 38, have been married for almost three years.
She told OK! magazine last year that she was too busy to have children, but it appears that her major obstacle has been removed.

How do household cleaning products affect the environment?
Alexandra Franklin-Cheung
It's not how eco-friendly your detergents are, it's to whom they are friendly for…
Asked by: Amy Rhys-Davies, Cambridge
Even after passing through water treatment plants, small quantities of chemical compounds from cleaning products can find their way into rivers, ponds and lakes and have adverse effects on aquatic life. Phosphates in laundry and dishwasher detergent have a fertilising effect, triggering the widespread growth of algae that saps away the water's oxygen, reducing biodiversity.
By reducing water tension, surfactants allow other pollutants in water bodies to be absorbed more easily by plants and animals. Many other compounds can be toxic to wildlife, or affect growth and reproduction, for instance by mimicking the effects of hormones in mammals and fish.

Waverley Borough Council
Cutbacks threaten Cranleigh home help scheme
A WARNING of a possible 12% cut in next year's grants to the local charity and voluntary sector has caused great concern to the Waverley branch of Age Concern UK.
The Cranleigh-based branch provides services designed to help elderly people across the borough to live in their own homes by employing hundreds of gardeners and handymen.
It also runs Rowleys day centre in the village.
Waverley Borough Council told recipients of its community partnership grants that it will be facing a 12% reduction in the overall funding it receives from the government for 2012/2013.
It warned them that grants available overall could be reduced by a similar 12% next year.
In cash terms, Waverley is projecting that it will need to make a further £1 million of savings next year and this is on top of the £5.5m achieved in the past four years.
Already hard-pressed to fund its services, Age Concern UK took umbrage at Waverley's suggestion it could do more belt-tightening and claimed council actions often added to its bill.
Company secretary Mike Newnham, said: "Many of our costs are ones previously borne by Waverley for which no compensating grant was received.
"Our ability to earn additional revenue has been constrained by the continuing uncertainty and considerable disruption caused by Waverley's Rowland House redevelopment.
"This has already forced us to close down Rowleys once during demolition and we may have to do so again shortly.
"Waverley itself creates additional costs for us by poor communication and shoddy work, particularly on the legal side."
The charity said it would be raising those and other problem areas in the review Waverley will conduct to hear concerns from grant recipients.
It also suggested a number of ways in which the borough council could do more belt-tightening itself to avoid passing on next year's cut.
It proposed Waverley could merge with Guildford and Woking councils where duplication occurs and councillors could forgo their allowances in the same way volunteers do.
Responding to the charges, Cllr David Munro, Waverley's portfolio holder for economic development and community, said: "This year we maintained grants to all day centres at 2010/2011 levels and identified cost savings of more than £2m this year.
"This 'belt-tightening' of the council's finances has been achieved at no detriment to frontline services.
"For 2012/2013, Waverley will receive a further reduction in government funding of 12% but this does not mean funding reductions will simply be passed on and, at this stage, no decisions on community grants for 2012/2013 have been made.
"We are about to embark on a fundamental review of the support we give to community organisations, which includes the borough's day centres.
"Our day centres and the services they provide are very valuable to us and the residents of Waverley.
"In highlighting these pressures to community, voluntary and charitable groups at an early stage, Waverley is acting responsibly and helping them with their forward planning."


Love playing cowboys and Indians with your kids? Of course, you might have the edge in terms of holding a gun as a cowboy, but the Indian is more that ready to take on any challenge that comes his way, never mind the fact that he knows the land like the back of his hand and is a mean shot with his crossbow. Enter the Zing Zcurve Launcher, a £19.99 purchase that will bring some technology to the world of archery.
This is a high performance foam arrow shooter, so you don't have to worry about putting anyone's eyes out. Relying on safe, soft, long range arrows that are able to soar up to a range of 100 feet, that also depends on wind direction and how you release the arrow. Each purchase will come with a bow, a couple of long range arrows and a "stick anywhere" Zartz ultra-light foam suction cup tip arrow as well as a "Zip-clip" holder for arrows.


Who is responsible for tailgating accidents?
Accidents caused by tailgating happen almost daily in South Florida. And even though they happen quite frequently, many people have a few misconceptions about them. In addition to believing these accidents are minor, many people believe that tailgaters are always at fault for tailgating accidents. Below, we discuss when the tailgater will be liable and when the parties might share liability.
How does Florida law view tailgating?
Many people admit to tailgating, or following the car in front too closely, on a regular basis. In fact, 80 percent of drivers admit to engaging in various road rage behaviors, especially tailgating, according to AAA. Sometimes drivers simply get into a bad habit and do not realize that tailgating is unsafe. Young drivers, in particular, may not know that what they are doing is wrong. Other drivers tailgate out of frustration or impatience.
No matter the reason, tailgating in Florida is illegal. Under Florida Statute § 316.0895, it is against the law to "follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent." If officers catch a driver tailgating another vehicle, they can issue the driver a citation.
Who is responsible for a tailgating accident?
Because violating a state statute is often proof enough of negligence, the rear driver will almost always be responsible for any resulting accident. This does not, however, mean that a tailgater will always be 100 percent responsible for an accident.
To prove a tailgater is liable, the other driver must prove that the accident would not have occurred but for the driver's negligence. For example, if the driver slowed down for traffic, a tailgater will likely be liable if s/he hits the driver who stopped.
However, there are a few reasons that might limit or deflect liability.
If a tailgater runs into a driver whose tail lights are out or who did not put on hazards after a breakdown, s/he might only be partially liable.
The preceding driver might be liable if s/he "brake-checked" the driver in an attempt to dissuade the driver from following closely. In this case, the preceding driver might be totally liable or both parties might share fault.
Both drivers could also share liability if the driver brakes quickly to make a turn or change lanes.
Why does it matter if we share fault?
Sharing fault in a car accident case can significantly reduce the compensation you can recover. For example, if you needed to brake quickly to avoid missing a turn, the insurer might find you 30 percent at fault for the accident. If you requested $10,000 for your injuries, you will only be able to recover $7,000.
The accident attorneys of Coffey Trial Law can help you collect the facts you need to prove that the other driver was to blame for your accident. We will help you collect photographs from the scene of the accident, gather eyewitness testimony and police reports, and, if necessary, hire an expert to reconstruct the accident.

Happy Halloween everyone! Today's comic is called "Trick or Treat" and just so happens to come out on the actual day of Halloween. Cool, huh?
Boy, kids can be a handful. Not the nice kids that thank you politely, the nasty ones that beat you up and steal all your candy. Did I mention that the kids beat up adults? Yeah, well it can happen. I tell ya when kids get on those sugar highs you better watch out. If you're like me you like to eat some of the left over candy then you should definitely heed my warning. Do not let candy snatchers take your stash. Scaring the buggers doesn't work this day in age so you have to be crafty. Maybe learn karate or put on Adventure Time. It's a cruel world out there...on Halloween. Anyways, Happy Halloween!
There will be a follow up comic to Trick or Treat next Monday so look forward to that. Also, Halcon's next week so please stop by if you're in Halifax, Nova Scotia and check out our Flapjack Studios table. Just look for the giant Living With Stacy poster. Hope to see you there!
Well, I'm off to get some candy and stuff. If you liked today's strip then please share it, tweet it, and like it. It's good for me and is In the spirit of Halloween. Do it, do it now!
Living With Stacy, or LWS for short, updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays so come back often to lol at the latest strips!
Comic update! LWS #93 - One Job!
August 07, 2018 - LWS Comic update & brand new website! Ryan has one job and one job only. Can he do the thing? Find out!

I do love me some LCD Soundsystem. My girl too. Even more than me. She was the reason why the last few times they played LA we were there. She's the reason why I sat in front of my computer screen on April 2nd 2011 and watched LCD play for the last time in Madison Square Garden. And I've gotta admit it was a pretty awesome show. Plus, Liquid Liquid was the opening band. How sweat is that. I really wanted to be there...it was sad to watch James Murphy walk off the stage for the last time—LCD is one of the most celebrated and influential bands of my generation. I really do get it, tho. Why wouldn't James Murphy walk away at the peak of popularity and go out with one of your most ambitious concerts ever. It's better to burn out than fade away or something like that. BTW, credit where credit is due, my girl is the reason why i know about this here upcoming documentary directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. Shut Up And Play The Hitsis both a narrative film documenting this once in a lifetime performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Permit for 35 storeys lifts return to $3.1m
Melbourne City Council's stamp of planning approval has added more than $3.1million to the sale price of a development site on the northern edge of the CBD.
The owner, lawyer and private investor Konfir Kabo, has sold the La Trobe Street property for $8.5 million after buying it for $5.33 million (including stamp duty) less than three years ago.
Agents in conjunction, Fitzroys and Colliers International declined to comment on the identity of the purchaser, who is believed to be an ''active'' Melbourne-based developer.

For those not familiar with the building site, it's the greyish-white building between the red brick and yellow buildings.
At one stage it would have matched the blue building on the left, but has been renovated over the years.
It can still be saved by restoring it to match the blue building and this would help preserve a reasonably intact stretch of nice old buildings in Latrobe Street.
I'm in two minds about this new proposal, I do like it, but also like what is currently there.

This is one of the saddest losses for Melbourne's heritage in a long time - one half of the Burton Livery & Stables building - the last of its kind in the CBD. We will surely regret this destruction of the best of our remaining Victorian heritage once it is gone. This could have become an iconic cafe, bar or a myriad of other small scale, but economically significant possibilities. Now all it can become is a pile of rubble, to be replaced by one of a vast number of new towers appearing all over the CBD - how many non-heritage or infill sites could have been used to achieve the same outcome without this significant loss?

A sad loss to one of the last stretches of intact historic streetscape in the CBD - the last great livery and stables building in Melbourne from the Victorian era.
It was entirely ironic to hear today, then, that one of the original architects involved with the previous version of this project, and who assisted it gain a permit (one of many by EF involving outright demolition of heritage buildings) has been appointed to the Heritage Council of Victoria:
http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/11231-new-appo...
Apparently Matthew Guy comment: "These new appointments bring specialist skills and great passion to the task of protecting and conserving places and objects of cultural heritage significance to the state".
A passion for places of cultural heritage significance? EF have been involved with projects that demolished heritage warehouses on A'Beckett St, and with a project set to demolish a rare early 20th century automobile showroom and multi-storey ornate Edwardian warehouse across the road, not to mention the recently flattened 1860s era Bank of NSW and its neighbouring 'Baltic Fish' terrace shops on Flinders St., amongst others. Some might say that the track record of this particular "passion" reads like a Whelan the Wrecker's 'To Do' list.

Demolition had started when I walked past during the week. This is one of the most foolhardy projects the CofM have let through to the keeper in a long time. In future, Melburnians will undoubtedly ask how this intact 19th commercial row could have been lost during the early 21st century after it had survived from the mid-19th. What a debacle.

Couldn't even be bothered removing the roof sheeting and recycling the historic solid oregon trusses? What a waste of one of Melbourne's few remaining great Victorian buildings.

48-50 and 30-34 Latrobe streets which have greater heritage significance because they are less modified still don't have a heritage overlay and could be demolished tomorrow without a planning permit.

You have a point, Nicholas - council is derelict in its duty to conserve these places. I would also add that just because a building is 'modified' doesn't mean it has less heritage significance. 36-40 was actually one of a pair as part of a stables and livery complex with 48-50. They are more or less identical buildings - one with a full parapet and one with the top section missing and some alterations to the shop front. A parapet can be restored - particularly when there is an existing matching one practically next door to work from. Beyond that, all Victorian buildings in Melbourne are 'modified' one way or another - it is no reason to demolish them at all, as the Burra Charter and Heritage Act also make clear. And while we're at it - how many Victorian commercial buildings in the CBD have their original street level shop fronts intact? That's even more reason to list 48-50 La Trobe right about now - or we could just allow it to be lost like its sister building and just consign this remaining heritage section of La Trobe street to history like we are doing with the rest of the CBD.

Looks awful. Why is this being built even?
The height just sticks out and it look awkward.

Original Commentary
To Sing or Not to Sing: The (Misguided) Angst of Black Anthem Performance
This piece by Michael Cooper describes the angst felt by Metropolitan Opera tenor Lawrence Brownlee when Brownlee was asked to sing the Star Spangler Banner for a Jets-Ravens game. Brownlee describes, on the one hand, being the son of a veteran, and knowing what the anthem means to "people like my father and those who love our great country;" he adds that the song was "the last thing many soldiers sang as they gave their lives in battle fighting for the freedoms that we enjoy." Then on the other hand, Brownlee supports refusing to stand for the national anthem stating "[i]t is an act of protest which I agree with and support wholeheartedly," because he believes that "much needs to change in our society in regards to the policing and mistreatment of minorities."
As has been said many times before, the national anthem has not a thing to do with veterans. Veterans do not fight for a song or a flag. This positing of not standing during the national anthem as an offense to veterans is completely contrived and really makes no sense since one of the "freedoms that we enjoy" for which veterans have and continue to fight is the right not to stand for the national anthem. Additionally, one of these things is not like the other. In other words, these two items are not comparable. Protesting the centuries long tradition of the extrajudicial killing of Black people far outweighs misguided, deflective, racist arguments about hurt feelings about the national anthem and "veterans." Brownlee states that he decided to sing the national anthem "to use the voice that God has given me to sing – to sing with the conflicting emotions that pull at my heart … the honor, the pride, the frustration, the sadness … Colin Kaepernick's message, the hope of my ancestors, and the sacrifice of those who gave their lives protecting our flag."
This brother means well. But really. Besides the song being racist and, as such, no Black person should be singing it to begin with, that we Blacks are willing to actively participate in exalting a powerful symbol of American national pride when its promises and privileges have been denied us is actually quite sad. It also reflects our perpetual tendency to believe that if we demonstrate to whites that we are patriotic, that we will be welcomed to the table when, in fact, we continue to allow ourselves to be relegated to standing in the foyer looking on pitiful and teary eyed. It's time we set our own table.

$450,000 Settlement for Fractured Pelvis
Serious compensation for injury from trailer crash incident
Attorney Steve Caya's client suffered a serious hip injury and pelvic fracture as a passenger in a vehicle that crashed into a trailer located just off a rural highway in Wisconsin.
In addition to collecting this sum for his client, Attorney Caya was able to persuade his client's health insurer to accept a fraction of what the insurer was arguably entitled to in reimbursement for medical expenses paid on behalf of the client. This reduction resulted in tens of thousands of additional dollars in compensation for the client.
The insurance company has THEIR bottom line in mind. Steve Caya has YOUR best interests at heart.
When you've suffered a severe or catastrophic injury, you have a right to tenacious legal representation to secure the compensation you need, to heal from your injuries and get back to your life. Insurance companies are FAR more likely to pay what you truly deserve when an award-winning trial attorney is fighting on your side.
Causes of pelvic fracture in a car accident
When asked to name common car accident injuries most people would say back and neck pain or head injuries and they'd be right. But pelvic injuries are also common among car accident victims, with hundreds of thousands of cases reported every year.
The most frequent causes of pelvic injury from a car accident include:
Seat belts – Your seat belt prevents your torso from flying forward in a crash, but it can exert a huge amount of pressure where the straps wrap around the body—enough to bruise or even break bone.
Seat position—When driving or riding in a motor vehicle your pelvis is in close proximity to the axle. In a crash the brunt of the force travels along the axle line which can result in enough impact, pressure and vibration to cause serious damage to the pelvis and hips.
Front seats & front impacts—Sitting in the front of a vehicle puts the core of your body at risk of harm from airbags, the steering column and even the engine block in the event of a head-on collision. If you manage to turn the car or your body defensively the twisting can cause even greater damage.
Common types of pelvic injuries from car accidents can include:
Shifted pelvis
Hairline pelvic fracture
Open pelvic fracture
Pelvic muscle injury
Pelvic floor pain
Bruised pelvis
A pelvic injury can have permanent effects. Don't pay for someone else's mistake.
Know your rights. Lawyer up. get a free case consultation
Abdominal pain after a car accident can be a sign of a pelvic trauma or other serious internal injuries and should always be taken seriously. After you seek medical attention your next call should be to a personal injury attorney with experience fighting for fair settlements for car accident victims.
Recovery from a fractured pelvis or other injury can involve complications and take longer than you may expect. Steve Caya works with experts in injury recovery and rehabilitation to calculate truly fair compensation. Whether or not you experience chronic pain after suffering a pelvic fracture, you may be entitled to claim pain and suffering damages in addition to recovering the costs of your medical care and lost wages.
Even minor fractures deserve compensation
The average settlement for broken or fractured bones as a result of a car crash varies by case, but with the car accident attorney Steve Caya, you know you'll get what you deserve. File a claim and get compensated for your medical bills and time lost.
Before filing a lawsuit there's a few things you should know
Wisconsin operates under a shared fault law, meaning each person is held responsible for a portion of the liability in a car accident. If you weren't fully at fault for the crash, you are eligible to win compensation for your injuries in a settlement or lawsuit should it come to it. Here's a few more things you need to know about making a claim after an accident:
Yes, you can file a claim after a car accident
How to sue for a car accident case
How long after the accident can you file a lawsuit
How long a lawsuit takes for car accident cases
You can file yourself - lawyers make it easier!
Wisconsin car accident settlements
Insurance companies work hard to minimize your settlement amount.

The University of Venda's Centre for Biokinetics, Recreation and Sports Science hosted Prof L.O Amusa Memorial Lecture by Prof Charl Roux from the University of Johannesburg. The Memorial Lecture was held on Friday, 20 July 2018 at the University's Sports Hall under the theme 'The need for value management in Leisure, Recreation and Sport Science'.
Opening the Lecture, Prof Roux shared his experience with Prof Amusa when they were still Head of Departments at their respective Universities and recalls his passion, knowledge and sense of humor and thus making reference to 'leaving an educational legacy everywhere you go'.
that exists within the youth in relation to physical activity and physical education.
Prof Roux lectured on Values of Education and its importance on the current education system and how in general principles form part of personality and identity shaping. According to Prof Roux there should be a deliberate pedagogy of values education and that it will not accept mere universal values.
Towards the conclusion of his lecture, he gave solutions to problems posed in his lecture. Among the pool of solutions, he mentioned the giving of proper quality training to facilitators of values, physical education and the need to implement and fuse them into school curriculums. Prof Roux talked about widening involvement as a solution where teachers, students and parents collaborate on school activities.
Prof Charl Roux holds a Master's Degree in Human Movement Studies from the University of Stellenbosch and obtained a Doctoral Degree from the University of Johannesburg in 2006. This year (2018) he obtained MA in Olympic Studies with distinction from The German Sport University of Cologne, Germany.
The Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic, Senior Prof Base Khoza gave the welcome and official opening of the memorial lecture. Preceding her acknowledgement of distinguished guests, Prof Khoza highlighted the contribution that the late Prof Lateef Oluwole Amusa gave towards the development of the University and the Centre of Biokinetics.
When introducing the guest speaker, Dr Cebisa Nesamvuni, Head of the Centre for Biokinetics, Recreation and Sports Science, gave a background view of the centre. She highlighted that the centre was established in 2002 under the leadership of Prof Amusa. She further mentioned that from 2003, the centre gave annual lectures on the disciplines of Biokinetics, Recreation and Leisure studies and sports science. "To memoir his dedication and efforts of putting the Centre together, the annual lectures are now called the "Prof LO Amusa memorial lecture," she said.
Mr. Medupi Mamabolo, from the Centre of Biokinetics, Recreation and Sports Science gave the vote of thanks. He extended his appreciation to the University's Senior Management and the Head of Departments. He further thanked Prof Roux for his continuous association with Univen as an external examiner and for coming to give this lecture.

"Jay is a very patient and well-educated teacher, allowing his lessons to be oriented towards the student's interests. Jay makes even the most complex theoretical concepts easy to understand for all ages with any amount of previous musical knowledge." Matt P.
"Jay is AMAZING! My daughter has taken guitar lessons with him from the time she was 6 years old. The rate she has grown musically is incredible. She has recently started playing the cello as well, and he has incorporated new methods to coincide with that so the two instrumental lessons help strengthen the other. I am more than impressed and tell every person that's interested in guitar to go to Jay!" Meghan D.
"Our son has been taking guitar lessons from Jay for over a year now, and his progress has been remarkable. Jay is a very talented musician, and he really seems to have a knack for passing along his musical wisdom to students. He is patient when necessary, but always encourages and helps his students to expand their musical boundaries as soon as they are ready, so that they can continually improve. We couldn't be happier with the results we've seen so far!"
"Mr Gould has a talent for explaining complex musical techniques in ways that make them easier to apply to my own playing". Tom F.
"Jay is an amazing teacher. My 13 year old son has been his student since he was 6 years old. Jay is patient and an overall wonderful teacher. He designs the lessons based on the student's interests. Not only can my son play the guitar, he can actually help his sister who plays the flute read her music and corrects her when she plays the wrong notes. Rates are very reasonable and he is flexible when it comes to scheduling. Respeful man and we are pleased he is part of our lives. A plus, through music Jay taught my son fractions :) It sounded odd to me since my wife and I aren't musical at all but apprently there is a link between math and music." Bouraa A.
"Completely aware of your desires and has a plan suited for you to reach your goals. Jay is always accessible when difficulties arise to eliminate frustration. Very patient!" Mettis J.
"Jay is an outstanding teacher. Honestly, my son has given up numerous activities throughout the years except for guitar. He has been studying it for 6 years now and it's the only thing he won't quit. Jay wouldn't give up and kept challenging him. The growth my son exhibited musically is astonishing.

Even as tropical cyclone Roanu battered Bangladesh, it brought rain and reduced temperature further down India's east coast, helping control the worst case of coral bleaching in the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve (GMBR) off southern Tamil Nadu.
With high heat and dry weather starting early this summer, the coral reefs off the 21 coastal islands in the GMBR started bleaching from March. The bleaching was intense and even the younger corals (recruits) were losing their colour. "These were dangerous signs and the trend was unprecedented," J. K. Patterson Edward, Director of the Suganthi Devadason Marine Research Institute (SDMRI) based in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, told indiaclimatedialogue.net.
SDMRI has been monitoring the health of the corals in the GMBR since 2005, and the trends of 2016 were the worst till now. The institute had recorded coral bleaching every year from 2005 to 2010. The worst in this series was in 2010, when elevated sea surface temperature (32.20 C to 33.20 C) persisted for four months from April. This resulted in the coral cover decreasing to 33.2% due to severe bleaching and mortality. However, there was no bleaching between 2011 and 2015.
In 2016, the coral bleaching had started earlier and because of its high intensity, it was expected to result in high mortality. However, the current spell of unexpected rains could have come to the rescue of the corals. "We are hoping that there would not be further intensification of damage, and there could be improved recovery over time," said Edward.
Considering the alarming trends this summer, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department had commissioned SDMRI to carry out rapid assessments of coral health once every 15 days. The last of the two assessment reports before Cyclone Roanu, prepared on May 2, 2016, presented an alarming picture.
What caught the forest department and the scientists' attention was the fact that despite the coral mortality of 2010, there had been no adverse impact on younger corals that time. But this year, even the younger corals started bleaching early, and that sent alarm bells ringing, since that could mean a lower chance of recovery.
Though the cyclone, which started as a low pressure near Sri Lanka, brought rain and reduced the temperature in the GMBR, it cannot be said that the sea temperature may not rise once its affect passes. According to Skymet Weather, the eastern part of Tamil Nadu could get deficient southwest monsoon, which could mean there could be more warm months before the northeast monsoon can bring rain at the end of the year.
Bleaching of corals does not necessarily mean death. However, they indicate increased heat stress on the colonies, leaving them vulnerable to climate variability and change. Bleaching happens in those corals that host symbiotic algae zooxanthellae in their tissue. While the algae have a surface to anchor themselves, they produce food through photosynthesis and also feed the corals. They also give colour to the corals.
When the water temperature rises, the corals get stressed. In the process the symbiotic relationship breaks down – either the corals eject the algae or the algae leave their host. Either way, the corals lose part of their ability to get food and also become vulnerable to other stresses. Some of the coral colonies succumb to these vulnerabilities and die.
In the Gulf of Mannar region, bleaching usually starts when the sea surface temperature goes up above 30° C, according to Edward. The coral reef areas are shallow with their depth ranging between 0.5 metres and 3 m below surface, where they experience temperature from 28 to 290 C across the year.
In 2016, corals in many parts of the world have been bleaching. The Great Barrier Reef near Australia had reported unprecedented bleaching, with the convenor of the Australian National Coral Bleaching Taskforce, calling his recent aerial survey as "the saddest research trip" of his life.
Marine biologists from the Nature Conservation Foundation, monitoring the coral reefs of Lakshwadeep islands in the Arabian Sea, reported early and intense bleaching this year. However, the coral reefs in the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park in the Andaman and Nicobar islands were spared large-scale bleaching this year, according to Jaison John, range forest officer.
In Lakshwadeep, the corals were just about recovering from the mortality of 2010, and this year's event could add to the trouble. However, where the Gulf of Mannar differs from Lakshwadeep is that its coral reefs are heavily fished. This reduces the population of fish that otherwise eat up the species of algae, sea urchins and starfish, which destroy the corals that are bleached and distressed. The coastal and marine waters between India and Sri Lanka – where the GMBR is located – is among the most intensively fished areas in the region.
The excess heat in the ocean temperatures around India and Australia this year is ascribed to the El Niño effect. Even though it is still being debated whether climate change can increase the frequency and intensity of the El Niño, its impact does make the coral reefs – and in turn the GMBR islands and the adjacent coast – vulnerable to climate change.
The coral reefs also protect the islands and the coast of the GMBR from high waves during cyclones and tsunamis. The islands in the GMBR are low, rising only up to a metre above the sea. "The coral reefs are like mangroves. They protect the coast through their ability to reduce the impact of high waves," he added.
Even while the memory of the 2004 tsunami is fresh in the minds of the people of Tamil Nadu coast, they keep experiencing high waves due to frequent cyclonic storms. If the bleaching of the corals had continued in its intensity, it could have meant danger. Cyclone Roanu did give a respite, though it is not still clear if there could be further damage as the Tamil Nadu coast waits for the monsoon.


VIENA - 24 April, 2017 [source: Genomeweb] - Spain's Stat-Dx this week unveiled the first production units of its fully integrated and automated molecular testing platform for infectious diseases along with the system's first test cartridge, a respiratory panel designed to detect and identify up to 22 viral and bacterial pathogens simultaneously.
Barcelona-based Stat-Dx (formerly Stat-Diagnostica) also plans to begin clinical trials of the platform and respiratory panel over the next few months at various hospitals across Europe with the intent of launching the products with CE marking in the second half of this year.
The company unveiled its technology at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases held here this week.
Stat-Dx has been developing its platform, called DiagCORE, for around six years. From the beginning the company stated its intention to market a combined molecular testing and immunoassat system. The immunoassay component of DiagCORE is in the "advanced development" stage, Stat-Dx CEO Jordi Carrera said, but the firm plans to go to market with only the molecular capabilities in place.
The primary instrument is about the size of a small PC unit and it accepts different cartridges that contain all the reagents necessary to run a specific test. As such, Carerra noted, it should not be too difficult to launch the platform with only the molecular cartridges, which use real-time PCR, and add immunoassay cartridges down the road.
"For molecular we use one detector and for immunoassay we use time-resolved fluorescence, so there are two different cassettes," he said. "We are not trying to dream that a single technology can do both. They're very distinct technologies and the sensors are inside [the instrument.]"
Stat-Dx chose to use real-time PCR for the molecular component of its platform because "it's the state of the art for molecular diagnostics," Carrera said. Although the initial respiratory panel is designed to detect 22 target simultaneously, the company claims it is possible for the system to detect and identify up to 48 molecular targets simultaneously.
This can be achieved, Carrera explained, because each cassette has eight reaction chambers, and the detection instrument features an optical sensor with six wavelengths, although some channels will be used for control assays.
"That's using real-time PCR," he said. "If we wanted to go even higher on the multiplexing we could go with melt curve analysis, and … we could could go higher than 100-plex." Such multiplexing, while impressive, is currently overkill for infectious disease diagnostics, which seem to have found a sweet spot in the region of 20 to 30 targets."
Carrera was not coy about identifying Stat-Dx's primary potential market competitor: BioMérieux's BioFire Diagnostics subsidiary, which has a significant head start in the market. Last week the company announced that its second-generation respiratory panel, the FilmArray Respiratory Panel 2 Plus, received the CE mark and has been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration for 510(k) clearance.
"BioFire is the player, and they're really very well positioned in infectious disease testing, and BioMérieux has offered them a great sales reach," Carrera said. "The [FilmArray] platform is great. I think we are thankful for their success, because we want to use their success to boost our business."
Other potential competitors include Luminex and GenMark Diagnostics, both of which market multiplex molecular panels for syndromic testing.
Platitudes for the competition aside, Carrera noted that the DiagCORE platform will be able to carve out a market niche based on its flexibility.
"There will be a migration toward decentralization — ICU, emergency department — and we have features that are really helpful for that," he said. "We can do swabs, we can do resuspension of swabs inside of the cassette. All the reagents are inside, so you only have to put the sample, click a button, and you get the result out."
Furthermore, although Stat-Dx is launching with larger syndromic test panels, its platform is amenable to low-plex testing, as well. Tests of this type, with just a couple of molecular targets, would put the DiagCORE platform squarely in competition with the likes of Cepheid's GeneXpert platform.
Carrera declined to discuss the potential cost of DiagCORE or associated test cartridges, only noting that the platform is "not yet structured to compete on cost." Last year he said that the company had planned to sell test cartridges at a price similar to competitors — in the €120 to €160 ($130 to $174) range, depending on geography.
"Certainly, our technology has great potential to compete on price down the line," he said this week. "Ten years from now, the technology is not going to be sold at the same price. Technologies cannot digest their cost of manufacturing, or [manufacturers] are going to be out of business."
Over the last year, DiagCORE beta units have been in the hands of early-access users who have helped tweak the platform and contribute to its development. Due to the collaborative nature of these relationships, Carrera declined to identify the beta-test sites, but noted that they will also participate in clinical trials, so information will be forthcoming. For now, he said, "We have four sites across Europe: one in the Nordics, two in Central European countries, and of course one in Barcelona to really cover the whole geography in Europe, so we get samples and patients representative of our intended geographies of launch."
Should the trials be successful, Stat-Dx plans to have a limited market release of DiagCORE and the respiratory panel in the second half of this year "and go to full-fledged commercial operations in 2018." The company also has a gastrointestinal panel in the works for its next commercial product, and has its eye on the US market, but these developments are further down the road, Carrera said.
