Star Music prepares Valentine game night prepared for fans
Love for BGYO is reaching fever pitch as its debut single under Star Music, "The Light," surpassed 100,000 streams in less than two weeks after its release on music streaming giant Spotify.
Composed by Rogan and Ddank with lyrics from BGYO and District, the new P-Pop boy group's single has a message of empowerment and hope that strongly encourages self-love among the youth today.
BGYO's latest milestone on Spotify follows a string of successful online achievements, including massive viewership for "The Light"'s music video, which has already garnered 1.2 million views on YouTube and 460,000 views on its Facebook page.
Originally called the SHA Boys, BGYO was launched last January 29, along with their debut single and its music video. The group composed of Gelo, Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate first earned praises with their performances on "It's Showtime" and "ASAP Natin 'To," which have also earned over a million views.
Aside from the latest achievement, the dance challenge of 'The Light' is also trending on Tiktok.
Star Music has organized a Valentine's Day Game Night for the fans of BGYO where 10 lucky fans will have the chance to join BGYO in a Zoom conference.
Follow BGYO through their official media accounts: bgyo_ph on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, @officialbgyo on Tiktok and BGYO Official on YouTube. Each BGYO member can also be followed on their personal social media accounts, all with the official BGYO logo as their profile pictures with "ofcbgyo" in their usernames.

ROMEO, Mich. — Award-winning Romeo RIM (www.romeorim.com), the world's innovative leader in custom reaction injection molding and composite solutions, recently contributed its extensive technical knowledge to two high-profile learning opportunities for manufacturing professionals. Business Development Manager Adam Ritchie led the popular seminar, "Long Fiber Injection Applications and Its Disruptive Fit in the World of Composites" at Thermoset TOPCON in Indianapolis, while members of the Romeo RIM engineering team contributed to the article "Composites Gain Ground in Agricultural Equipment" in the industry magazine Plastics Engineering.
Ritchie's presentation shed light on how the unique combination of strength, stiffness, and light weight of the long fiber injection (LFI) process is being used to replace a number of materials in many applications and markets. His session on LFI was one of only a handful of technical topics selected for TOPCON which also included reclaimed carbon fiber, natural fiber composites, thermoset composites, unsaturated polyester resin formulations and Dielectric Analysis.
Organized by the Society of Plastics Engineers, the annual Thermoset TOPCON event connects all members of the thermoset material supply chain, from makers of additives and chemicals, to resin and reinforcement suppliers, compounders, processors and OEMs. It is the onlyU.S. gathering dedicated entirely to thermoset resins.
For the article published in the February issue of Plastics Engineering, Romeo RIM shared technical information on how composites and reinforced plastics are being used by agricultural equipment OEMs needing strong, massive parts at low weights. To meet customer demand, the article points out, Romeo RIM installed North America's largest rotary LFI press to mold parts like tractor roof panels and knotter shields. "The system can mold up to seven different parts in six different colors at the same time, reducing the effective cycle time from 10 minutes/part to under two minutes," the article explains.
Romeo RIM continues to invest in cutting-edge technology and a strong, talented workforce to solve complex engineering challenges across a wide range of industries. Design collaboration, guest engineering, prototype parts and tooling, and production manufacturing are some of the services the company provides.
Romeo RIM is a proud member of the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI).

Der Schienenverkehr im Kosovo spielt im gesamten Transportgeschehen des Landes nur eine marginale Rolle auf einem durch die Folgen der Auflösung Jugoslawiens rudimentären und zwischenzeitlich nur noch begrenzt verkehrstauglichen Schienennetz.

Geschichte
1874 wurde die erste Eisenbahnstrecke auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Republik Kosovo errichtet. Sie führte von Skopje (Nordmazedonien) im Süden über Hani i Elezit und Fushë Kosova in nördliche Richtung nach Mitrovica. Erbaut wurde sie von der Compagnie des Chemins de fer Orientaux (CO), einer Eisenbahngesellschaft mit osmanischer Konzession.

Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg ging die Eisenbahninfrastruktur dieser privaten Gesellschaft, soweit sie auf dem Staatsgebiet des Königreichs Jugoslawien lag, zu dem der Kosovo nun gehörte, in Staatseigentum über. Zwischen 1929 und 1991 wurden die Strecken der ehemaligen CO dort von den Jugoslovenske Železnice (JŽ) betrieben und gingen dann mit dem Zerfall Jugoslawiens an die Železnice Srbije (ŽS) über. Nach dem Kosovokrieg 1999 bildete sich aus den im Kosovo gelegenen Teilen der ŽS die Hekurudhat e Kosovës (HK) oder Kosovske Železnice (KŽ), die 2001 ihren regulären Betrieb aufnahm. Zwischen 1999 und 2001 war die Nutzung der kosovarischen Eisenbahnen kostenlos.

Am 3. März 2008 (drei Wochen nach der Unabhängigkeitserklärung des Kosovo) gab die serbische Eisenbahngesellschaft ŽS bekannt, dass sie nach neun Jahren wieder die "Kontrolle über ihre Infrastruktur im Nordkosovo" zwischen den Bahnhöfen Lešak (Grenzbahnhof des Kosovo zu Serbien) und Zvečan bei Mitrovica übernommen habe. Sobald die Betriebssicherheit nach den serbischen Standards hergestellt worden sei, erklärte die ŽS den Eisenbahnverkehr auf dieser Strecke wieder aufzunehmen. Dazu sollten auch 50 serbische Eisenbahner, die bislang bei der kosovarischen Eisenbahn tätig waren, von der serbischen Eisenbahn übernommen werden. Diese hatten zuvor in Zvečan einen Personenzug, der zwischen Fushë Kosova und Lešak verkehrte, aufgehalten. Die serbische Eisenbahn hatte zum Zeitpunkt der Bekanntmachung die UNMIK-Mission über ihre Entscheidung nicht informiert.

Im September 2011 wurden die kosovarischen Eisenbahnen in zwei Unternehmen geteilt: Das Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen Trainkos und das Eisenbahninfrastrukturunternehmen Infrakos.

Schienennetz
Infrakos hatte ein Schienennetz von 437 Kilometern Länge, von dem 333 Kilometer für den Personen- und Güterverkehr und 104 Kilometer nur für den Güterverkehr genutzt wurden. Das insgesamt nicht elektrifizierte Netz bestand im Wesentlichen aus zwei sich in Fushë Kosova kreuzenden Strecken, der Strecke
 Kraljevo in Westserbien über Mitrovica und Fushë Kosova nach Skopje in Nordmazedonien, der Hauptstrecke und
 Niš in Südserbien über die Hauptstadt Pristina und Fushë Kosova in zwei Abzweigungen nach Peja und Prizren.

Die übrigen Streckenabschnitte sind schon länger ohne Eisenbahnverkehr. Seit Jahren existieren Planungen, den Abschnitt von Prizren nach Albanien zu verlängern, um so einen Anschluss an das Netz der Hekurudha Shqiptare herzustellen. Diese Pläne sind bisher nicht über Absichtserklärungen hinausgekommen.

Betrieb

Personenverkehr
Der Schienenpersonenverkehr ist im Kosovo weitgehend zum Erliegen gekommen.

National
Es wurden im Personenverkehr die Zuggattungen Lokalzug, Freedom of Movement und InterCity unterschieden. Als Rollmaterial kamen meistens Y1 in Doppeltraktion oder eine Di 3 mit zwei ehemaligen SJ-Personenwagen zum Einsatz.

Bis März 2008 verkehrten zwei Freedom of Movement-Zugpaare von Fushë Kosova bis Lešak (nördlich von Leposavić), dieser Verkehr musste aber aufgrund der Spannungen mit Serbien aufgegeben werden. Zwischen Pristina und Peja verkehrten täglich zwei Lokalzug-Paare, wobei eine Zugkomposition in Peja übernachtet. Die Züge benötigten für diese Strecke knapp zwei Stunden. Der Betrieb der Strecke wurde am 3. August 2017 eingestellt, nachdem der Staat im Juni die Zahlungen an die Bahn eingestellt hatte und die Eigenmittel verbraucht waren. Seit 5. Oktober 2017 verkehrt, nachdem der Staat für ein Zugpaar pro Tag wieder zahlt, hier der IC 760/761.

International
Zwischen Fushë Kosova und Han i Elezit (Grenze zu Nordmazedonien) verkehrten zwei Freedom of Movement-Zugpaare sowie ein Lokalzug-Paar. Als einzige internationale Personenzugverbindung aus dem Kosovo (und einziger Personenzug des Landes überhaupt) verkehrt heute das InterCity-Zugpaar (IC 891/892) von Pristina über Fushë Kosova nach Skopje und zurück. Der InterCity besteht normalerweise aus einem ehemaligen SJ-Wagen der Trainkos und einem Personenwagen der Makedonski železnici. Die Züge benötigen für die Strecke Fushë Kosova-Han i Elezit knapp anderthalb Stunden.

2013 verkehrten im Nordkosovo zweimal täglich Dieseltriebwagen der serbischen Baureihe 711 von Kraljevo über Raška und den Grenzbahnhof Lešak hinaus bis Zvečan, dem letzten Bahnhof vor Mitrovica und zugleich dem letzten Ort im vorwiegend von Serben bewohnten Gebiet. Über dieses Teilstück findet sowohl Personen- wie auch Güteraustausch mit Serbien statt, so dass unter anderem Treibstoff ohne Zollabgabe an den kosovarischen Staat in den Kosovo transportiert wird. Die Bahnhöfe sind mit serbischem Personal besetzt, und Fahrkarten werden in Dinar bezahlt. Die politischen Spannungen verhindern jeglichen Zugverkehr zwischen Zvečan und Mitrovica. Südlich von Mitrovica wird die Strecke grundsätzlich von den kosovarischen Eisenbahnen betrieben, es gibt regelmäßigen Güterverkehr aber nur bis Obiliq.

Güterverkehr

Der internationale Güterverkehr wird auch über Han i Elezit abgewickelt, das Containerterminal befindet sich in der Nähe des Flughafens Pristina beim Bahnhof Mirad. Der nationale Güterverkehr bedient mehrere über das gesamte Staatsgebiet verstreute Betriebe.

Disney Released a Brand-New "Descendants 3" Teaser
And things look scary for Mal.
By Kara Nesvig
Disney Channel/Ed Herrera
We're inching closer to the debut of the third and final Descendants movie, and the fine folks at Disney know how excited fans are for the continuation of Mal and friends' story, which is why they're releasing teaser after teaser to stoke the fire. If you've been anxiously awaiting new info since the last preview debuted in February, today's your lucky day — Disney just released a new one, and it gives us more hints about what's next for Mal, Evie, Carlos, and the rest of the gang.
The minute-long teaser makes it clear that something's going on with Mal, and it could be something dark. While the teaser opens with Mal reigning over a devoted, cheering crowd, it quickly reveals that she's just dreaming; she's actually in the Isle of the Lost, grappling with what looks to be a very spooky and evil force all around her.
The trailer ends before any major information is revealed, but it's definitely making us wonder what's going to happen in the third movie. Descendants 3 also the last film in the series, so everyone's storylines will be wrapped up, but it looks like it may be a bumpy ride for Mal. The first teaser hinted that we may learn more about Mal's father, and we also know that Uma, Ursula's daughter, returns for Descendants 3, so there's bound to be an epic battle or two.
The movie's director, Kenny Ortega, promised that Descendants 3 will be major. "Descendants 3 will be the biggest in scope of all the previous movies," he told EW. "Everything has been scaled to deliver an epic story. The characters, the sets, the costumes, the dance numbers are all bigger, better and the baddest!"
Check out the trailer below, and get ready for more adventures when Descendants 3 debuts on Disney this summer.

Q:   with default value from a variable In brief, in the profile page, I have the following code:
<select  name="sex" >
    <option value="Male"> Male</option>
    <option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>

Looks fine :)
However,
When the user wants to update his choice,,, I have an update profile page where I put the same code as:
<select  name="sex" >
    <option value="Male"> Male</option>
    <option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>

My problem is that I couldn't put the previously selected option as default when the page is loaded... Is there a way to load the page with the previously select option as default ?
Many thanx :)

A: I got the answer :) by implementing the JSTL - <c:if> Tag as follows:
<select name="gender">
          <option value="Male" <c:if test="${THE_PATIENT.getGender() == 'Male'}"> selected </c:if>>Male</option>
          <option value="Female" <c:if test="${THE_PATIENT.getGender() == 'Female'}"> selected </c:if>>Female</option>

    </select>

Home security systems are rapidly becoming more affordable as technology continues to advance. In recent years, systems have also adopted a plethora of home automation tools like thermostat regulation and remote light switches. Regardless, all systems can operate the basics of arming your doors and windows and emitting an alarm when the sensors are triggered. Here's an in-depth look at how home security systems operate and what that means for you.
This is the "brain" to your system. All of your sensors and cameras communicate with this unit. It's usually attached to a wall in a central location within your home. With some newer systems including smart home features, your smartphone could double as a keypad.
These are more common of a DIY unmonitored system but are offered by many professional monitoring companies as well. Often, you can stream live footage to your smartphone and receive notifications when they detect movement.
These sensors come in two pieces: one piece is attached to the edge of a door/window, and the other is attached to the edge of the door/window frame next to it. These are the most standard features of a home security system. When the system is armed and the pieces become detached from each other, the magnetic sensors inside them are triggered and your system registers it as a break-in.
More useful than you may think, the mere presence of a yard sign indicating a monitored security system tells would-be burglars to back off.
You'll be able to arm and disarm your system at will from the central keypad, your smartphone, or both, depending on the package you ordered. When a sensor is triggered, the brain of the system will send a cellular, landline, VoIP, or internet signal to a professional monitoring station. But first, it has to be installed.
When it comes to installation, most home security systems will be installed yourself or by a licensed professional. Do-it-yourself systems are fairly common. You can pick them up at most major hardware stores and install them in a weekend. However, these systems usually consist of only video cameras and don't have the full capabilities of a professionally monitored system. Some top-rated companies have taken the best of both worlds and adopted a system of providing consumers with do-it-yourself installation while still providing professionally monitored service.
In regards to professional installation, you know you'll have a team of certified professionals installing a security system when they show up at your door. However, this means that they'll need to set an appointment in order to come to your home and install all the equipment, which may come at an inconvenience to you. You might have to take a day off work and put up with a lot of noise before your system is fully installed and operational. Once your security system is installed and activated, it will immediately be monitored by a remote team of representatives.
An alarm monitoring station (aka a "central station") is a location where home security systems are monitored for burglaries, fires, carbon monoxide, and other disasters. These stations are monitored 24/7 to make sure whenever a disaster strikes, there is someone on task to react accordingly. The best central stations will be certified by Underwriters Laboratories, a leader in measuring and accrediting performance capabilities. The organization has strict standards of certification that cover a variety of different industries, so keep an eye out for them when considering a home security company.
Keep in mind that a professional monitoring station is important because this is the station that will send a signal to local police. When a signal is sent to the station from a security system encountering a break-in, fire, or another disaster, a professional at the monitoring station can dispatch local authorities to check up on your residence. Sometimes these signals can be accidents, like opening your window after you've armed your system, but in any case, a professional is available to keep an eye on your system all day, every day.
Maybe you're thinking a home security system isn't a big deal. After all, only 17 percent of U.S. homes operate with a security system. But if you've decided that you want to take the extra measure to protect your home and your valuables, look into top companies that offer the best in pricing and equipment.

All of us know seat belts as something which protects us while traveling in a car, on a plain or in other vehicles.
It is important to know that the seat belts you have in your cars are the best of the best which have been produced since all quality and security regulations regarding seat belt production are pretty strict (seat belts safe your life so they must be flawless!).
That means that lots of already produced seat belts can't be used in our cars due to some imperfections and they loose their primal function.
Seat belts are a fantastic material: strong, clean and shiny. They can be re-purposed for many things like furniture elements (bases for beds, hammocks...), and of course BAGS.
Rebago makes seat belt bags too. Among our selection you will find seatbelt bags which are the only model for which we use this material like JACKIE S, JACKIE XL or SIGMUND, but we also use seat belts for the models normally made by us from different materials such as ALEX, PABLO or ECO.
Seat belt bags are a great alternative for those who would like to have an upcycling bag but are not very fond of signs of use and too vintage look or are looking for some smart-looking product for more formal occasions: thanks to that seat belts are production leftovers usually they come to our manufacture very clean and shiny and upcycled bags made from them look very neat. Not all of us know that seat belts come in many different colors which also gives a range for interesting creations.
Apart from their great look, seat belt bags are extraordinarily strong. As the seat belts are made from a synthetic material they are also quite easy to clean.
Of course we use seat belts for straps of all our upcycled bags as well.
Have a look at our seat belt bags and change the world with us!

Well, a win is a win, but there's not a lot to great to take away from last night's game. Especially the first half in which the Pat's offense looked inept against a team that shouldn't have been that close. The Pat's defense was solid but it was against a depleted Giant's offense and a rookie QB who was easily confused. That's not going to be enough against the Chiefs.
Ten days to rest up for the Jets, and maybe time to make a few personnel moves. 2

I was surprised how long the Giants held the game close, particularly since they had so many injuries on offense and a questionable defense.
Amazing, though that the Pats have had 6 games, with 3 against teams that have no wins, and the next best two have a combined 3 wins all season. Only the Bills look to be a legit good team.
After the Jets, though, they have 6 straight games against teams that are currently over .500. That's where we'll find out who these Patriots really are. 3

I wonder if the Patriots are suffering on offense being without Gronk and with Brady getting a bit older? (He's a month younger than me and I'm not a kid anymore.)
They still have Edelman and Josh Gordon seems to be a good addition for them, but their offense is not their strong point. They're leaning on their defense which is looking like the best in the NFL this year. 5

Oops, I read their record as 3-2. 6
Last night's game was weird in that I can see both sides being happy but with concerns over stuff to work on.
The Patriots looked out of sync on offense through 3 quarters but then pulled it together in Patriots fashion and finished with a flourish, comfortably covering the spread and (finally in the 4th) looking all around good. Clearly stuff to work on, but come on. Beating up on a bad team is never bad.
The Giants were legitimately in that game into the fourth quarter. IIRC, Giants had the ball down by 7 (early) in the 4th quarter, and that's in it. Even after already having coughed up the ball 4? times already, including giving up a TD by letting a a punt get blocked and recovered in the end zone. (Gah!)
Unfortunately the Patriots' time of possession had the defense out here a full game's worth by early in the 4th, when they lost a step (or 10) from fatigue. I'll take 30 minutes of solid defense; I haven't even thought about good defense on the Giants since 2016, the lone good year in Steve Spagnuolo's return to New York.
I'm starting to worry about Jones' turnovers, though, with at least two per game, every game. I love his accuracy, which was never Eli's thing outside of slant passes. (Odell Beckham, Victor Cruz, Steve Smith 2, etc...) Maybe that accuracy is why he tries to thread the needle so much. 7

Turnovers are one of the aspects of the game that usually gets better for any QB. Experience counts for a lot and as a passer gets more used to watching NFL defenses in action they can anticipate what a defender is going to do and where they're going to be, and be less likely to throw a pass where the other team can get it. They also get better at decision-making and will get better judgment about whether a certain coverage is worth throwing into.
I find this article from May interesting:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-nfl-qb#slide0
It was predicting how the starting QBs would do. There was uncertainty about whether Manning or Jones would be the starter. The prediction there would be that Jones would have 5 TDs and 4 interceptions. At this point he already has 5 TDs in as many games, but 6 interceptions. So maybe not good. 8

Edelman has bruised ribs, and Gordon went out with a knee injury. The O line is somewhat patchwork. One of the new TE's went out during the game. I
I expect they're going to figure it out eventually. 9

Once the NFL realized they could get away with calling roughing the passer on a runner, nothing and nobody is safe. 14

As a Seattle fan I consider that a questionable call. I wouldn't have been upset if it was a no-call.
That being said, it was a shove knocking him down, not a collision that was unavoidable, and it was clearly late. So I can see why the flag was thrown. 15

OBJ just tried something clever that you never see. Baker throws a ball right to a seahawks defender, who's on the ground after intercepting the pass. OBJ deliberately doesn't touch him and just waits - the guy gets up and tries to run, and OBJ punches the ball out while he's getting up.
The refs ruled that the guy was giving himself up, so it didn't matter, but it was a clever idea. 17
How is it difficult to maintain a field in Miami? That field looks like Soldier Field in December. I assume there was a college game yesterday? 18

Before anyone says anything, that recent DPI in the end zone against Cleveland was crap. If there was any contact it was incidental and before the pass.
ETA: And another crap flag. The refs seem to have it out for the Browns. Again, I'm a Seattle fan. 20
And then an inexplicable illegal blindside block on a textbook receiver block where the basically bumped chests. 21

Literally don't even understand what's going on in the Browns game right now. Can't help but laugh.
Right now the Browns are fighting Seattle, the refs, and themselves (or at least Kitchens). 25
That was the dumbest and weirdest sequence of events I can remember in a football game. 26
Okay, so Landry catches a pass and is extending over the goal line (he probably did so successfully and it was a TD) but he gets the ball knocked out of his hand and it goes into the end zone. The Browns recover the fumble in the end zone, which I thought was a touchdown. But the ref says "the Browns fumbled but because it was 4th down it will be returned to the spot of the fumble" and then calls 12 men on the field for seattle and half the distance to the goal.
There's a lot of confusion and no one understand what's going on, Kitchens is going crazy, at some point the ref has to announce "I'm explaining to the Browns coach the rule about the 4th down fumble"
Browns line up to run a 4th and 1 play on the goal line, Chubb gets an easy walk-in TD. Ohhhhhh no, Kitchens threw the flag right before the play started and iced his own kicker. They review whether Landry broke the plane. It looks like he did and it's a TD. So of course they say the play stands and he didn't cross the plane. Browns line up for the 4th and 1 play again and don't make it.
I think I may be leaving out a thing or two which made it weirder.
At least Seattle botched the next punt and the Browns were able to make it all up with a TD. I would've been butthurt all week if not for that. 27

Hats off to Mayfield for playing when he's clearly hurt. I don't think he can be fully blamed for any of his interceptions today either. 28
Sometimes in a game you get one of those "WTF" just wrong ref calls that change a game and it bothers you for days.
The Browns had 4 or 5 of those today and only lost by 4 points. FFS.
Awful, bizarre officiating. 29
By the way if given a choice by a genie I would have rather taken a lost game but not losing Dissly. We lost him early last season too. He's an incredible weapon and has been probably the best overall TE in the league season (and Russell's #2 guy after Lockett). If it's a serious ACL injury and he's out for the year that will be an awful blow to Seattle. I hope Uncle Will isn't that hurt. 30
The Cowboys are losing in the most Cowboys way possible: Getting blown out 21-6 by an inferior team (Jets,) yet also hitting a 62-yard field goal. 31

So, will the Chiefs win another game? Not if they don't figure something out on defense. Mahomes is good to great, but he needs to score a TD every possession to keep up with the defense. I would like to see Reid and Mahomes running that offense against the Chiefs defense, though.
I'd bitch about the zebras and the storm of flags, but it was probably close to even.
There was one challenge of a missed PI where to my KC eyes it was at least as egregious as the NFC playoff one, but of course it wasn't called on review. Not sure why the NFL instituted that challenge when it is basically never overturned. 35

My 49ers held an offense that had been averaging over 400 yards and almost 30 points to 157 yards and 7 points. 56 yards and the 7 points came on the first Rams drive. Of that isn't total dominance, I don't know what is. 36

The Dolphins have played Washington 15 times, and hold a 9-6-0 record. All but two of those losses occurred in Washington, the other loss which wasn't in Washington was Super Bowl XVII which took place at the Rose Bowl.

Fun fact, the first time the two teams ever played was in Super Bowl VII in 1973, the year Miami got their perfect record. 40

San Francisco has surprised me. Looks like maybe they are "for real" after all. The win over the Rams yesterday was most impressive (why Dallas @ the Jets was shown on national T.V. instead of Niners @ Rams is beyond me except for that team from Texas having a larger hold on the national consciousness than it deserves considering that it's now been nearly ¼ century since it last won anything of note). As a Seahawks fan I'm still wary of "Nawlins" and I think the Packers are to be contended with in the N.F.C. Over in the A.F.C., though - as I saw in an online article, yesterday - it already looks like N.E. will end up with home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Not sure what's happened to the Chiefs (injury bug?) but I agree, at this point, that no other team in the A.F.C. looks like it's going to upend the Patriots. 41

A similar deal happened in the Giants/Patriots game late in the 4th quarter, Giants down by 21. It was clear to everyone there was defensive PI, Giants challenged, call stands, no flag.
Later clarifications from sportswriters and pundits, going by what their contacts have told them, is that the league is explicitly using this new rule for one purpose: "To prevent the wrong team from going to the Superbowl" like what happened that caused the rule to be added in the first place.
Giants are a bad team, down by three TDs, 3:00 left in the game. Clear and obvious DPI (not called on field) is challenged, but this play won't prevent the wrong team from going to the Superbowl, so call upheld, no flag.
Yesterday's game someone interfered with a Chiefs receiver, it was clear and obvious, and yet they let the no-flag call stand? That's because not overturning it didn't send the wrong team to the Superbowl.
As I understand it, that is literally the review standard for pass interference. It has to be as obvious and egregious as it was on that Saints play last postseason, AND it has to send the wrong team to the Superbowl if you don't get it right.
EDIT: Link to the Giants/Patriots play. 42

I hear this all the time. But it makes no sense to me. (And I'm a Bills fan. I'd love to believe that the Patriots are only winning due to the games being fixed.)
But why would the owners of thirty-one other teams allow a system to exist that benefits Robert Kraft? 43

What does it have to do with the Patriots? The rule was instituted because the Rams got away with a clear PI against the Saints in the NFC Championship game, sending the wrong team (Rams) to the Superbowl. 44

I already was not a Rams fan. That non-call made it that much easier for me to not be one. 45
Railer13
This article was written on Friday, after the Pats-Giants game that featured one of the more obvious PI calls that wasn't called or overturned on appeal.
'According to NFL GSIS data, 40 pass interference-related plays have been challenged in the 79 games played so far this season, but just seven have been overturned. That's a total of 17.5 percent. Of those 40 plays, 28 involved non-calls, with only five (17.9 percent) resulting in a reversal. And just two (16.7 percent) of the 12 penalties that were challenged have been overturned. In recent weeks, challenges have basically stood no chance at all'
IMHO, the NFL will abandon the PI appeal after this season, if not before. 46

As a Seahawks fan I'm still wary of "Nawlins" and I think the Packers are to be contended with in the N.F.C.
The 49ers and Saints are the only NFC teams with as many wins as Seattle. Saints have done it without Brees in most games. Packers have a good defense but I am not sure how "good" they are. Nobody in the NFC East looks good, I could see someone with a losing record winning the division this year (like Seattle did in 2010). 47

What is more likely, in my opinion, is that coaches will limit their challenges to the most egregious cases. 48

The Saints have a bona fide top-notch head coach. I forgot to include them in my list from earlier. I'm not sure about the 'hawks. Sure, they're 5 - 1 but not one win has been all that impressive and San Francisco has beaten four of the teams that the Seahawks have beaten this season and they beat three of them (Cincinnatus, Cleveland, and the Rams) much worse than the Seahawks did. It's early but I think the 'hawks make the playoffs. Beyond that I'm not willing, at this point, to speculate on anything in that regard. 49

I think the Seahawks have a really good, balanced offense. Russell is playing as the undisputed MVP this year, Chris Carson is building on last year's success as a RB (and stopped fumbling), Tyler Lockett is a legit #1 WR and Metcalf is a rookie WR not playing like a rookie. The OL goes from decent to crap but that's nothing unusual.
The defense though isn't good. The defensive line should be better, and maybe when Reed comes off suspension next week it will be better, but... The linebackers are awesome but they can only do so much. Only Griffin is looking good in the secondary (and he's looking really good). They are allowing too much and while Russell keeps bailing them out you have to wonder if that's enough.
I do think that the Seahawks are better than their numbers suggest. For example, they beat the Browns by 4. They could have beaten them by 11 if they wanted to. They got the ball just outside the end zone and the way the Cleveland D was playing they probably could have walked in. But they didn't because the Browns had no timeouts and there was only a minute on the clock, so they went into victory formation to end the game. They do just enough to win.
While that's not unusual, I feel like it's a peek into their philosophy. They play conservative and grind out games. They are explosive when they need to be (and when opportunities appear) but don't push it. Unless a team is just folding over with no resistance like Arizona they are unlikely to run up the score. So I don't necessarily see that one team blowing out opponents is automatically better than the one barely beating them, though that could be the case.
Here's an example... The Rams crushed the Saints, 27-9. Obliterated them. The next week the Saints go to Seattle and beat them. Clearly the Rams are better, right? But then Seattle beats the Rams, and are currently two games ahead of them in the standings. I would say that the Rams are not as good as Seattle and are fighting a serious SB hangover.
If things progress as they have been, with the Seahawks winning close games and the Niners winning by huge margins, I don't know if we will get a real measure of them before Nov 11 when they meet. 50

Five exhibitions not to be missed in Edinburgh this November
Written by Laura Connelly on 2 November 2017
There are few more beautiful cities than Scotland's capital, Edinburgh. With a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, separated by stunning gardens, it's a go-to destination for lovers of architecture, art and design.
Overlooking the city centre is Edinburgh Castle – home to Scotland's crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny – and at its side is Arthur's Seat, located in Holyrood Park. Home to more than 495,000 people, it is world-renowned for many reasons, including its Scottish art collection. So, if you've been seeking a reason to visit then here are five exhibitions not to be missed this month…
1. Age of Oil

In this contemporary art exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland, artist Sue Jane Taylor explores the people and places of Scotland's offshore energy industry. Having worked in some of the most remote and challenging environments, Sue offers a unique perspective on the relationship between art and industry, while allowing a fascinating look at life on board a North Sea oil platform.

2. Hidden Gems

As we mentioned, Edinburgh's fine art collection is vast – including over 4,800 items. Some familiar 'old favourites' are exhibited often, but others have rarely been seen by the public. Some of the artworks don't necessarily fit the conventions of a group exhibition, and some are from largely unknown periods of artists' careers. Whatever the reason, Hidden Gems allows these lesser-known works to see the light of day.

3. Scotland's Early Silver
Copyright National Museums Scotland
Ever wanted to know more about the impact of silver during the first millennium AD? In this exhibition, you're invited to discover the story of Scotland's early silver and how it helped shape its origins. The country's earliest silver arrived with the Romans and had a lasting impact on local society, quickly becoming associated with prestige and power. Scotland's Early Silver is an engaging look at the country's rich history.

4. The Fettercairn Jewel
If jewellery is your bag, then you'll appreciate the opportunity to view the newly acquired and exceptionally rare jewel on display at the National Museum of Scotland. Described as an outstanding piece of 16th-century craftsmanship, the Fettercairn Jewel allows an insight into the magnificence of the Scottish Renaissance.

Documenting the experience and representation of childhood, this exhibition coincides with Scotland's Year of the Young Person – taking place in 2018. Using photographs from the permanent collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, When We Were Young explores not only how the experience of childhood has changed over the years, but also how the portrayal of children has shifted too.

This will be a combination of confessions and updates. So, I'm going to thank you in advance for reading. Your encouragement, support and prayers mean a lot to us.
I apologize for not sharing half of this stuff with y'all. I realize this is a HUGE part of my life that I haven't shared about on here. In March of 2015, I launched a blog titled Stories of Newlywed Church Planters. That blog then changed into where you find yourself now, www.crystalleewilliams.com.
I never planned to stop blogging about the fact that Calvin and I became church planters and leaders of a congregation 3 months after getting married. I just simply wanted a new space where I would blog about that AND write about many other things.
But now, almost a year later, and I in fact haven't blogged about how the church plant is doing or how Calvin and I are doing as the ones leading this congregation. So, it's about to get real.
March 2014 - Calvin and I got engaged.
July 2014 - Calvin preached his first revival.
August 2014 - We got married!
October 2014 - A small church plant in search of a new pastor invited Calvin to preach on a Sunday.
November 2014 - We interviewed and accepted their offer for Calvin to be the new pastor and (re)launch the church.
December 2014 - Calvin graduated from East Texas Baptist University with a Bachelor's in Biblical Studies.
January 1, 2015 - Calvin's first day as pastor of Christ's Mercy Church, a church plant of 10.
Easter 2015 - We officially re-launched Christ's Mercy Church under new leadership and new vision.
Calvin was 22 and I was 24 when we launched CMC on Easter of 2015.
But after two years of a strong, growing attendance (our highest recorded attendance being 96) and successful events, home groups and discipleship, we began to plateau.
Many and I mean many churches (established and new), non-profits, and ministries understand this completely. It's more common than most realize.
After all it's said, not many church plants make it past year 3.
Pastors experience burnout and become frustrated with the growth barriers they are experiencing and call it quits. Others start allowing distractions to cause them to lose focus of their vision and begin to look to other things.
Yep. This is where it gets real. This is the truth.
In a newsletter we recently sent out to our members and family/friends that have supported us, Calvin shared how 2017 was the craziest and most difficult season we've experienced to date.
He took on school and was a double full-time graduate student. I was transitioning from one part time job to another while still doing all I could to help Calvin with all that church planting entails. Title wise, I am the Worship Leader and Overseer of Woman's Discipleship at CMC. Reality wise.... my hands are in pretty much everything. Calvin's? Everything and then some.
During this time I also launched a blog and became obsessed with it. Keeping it real, remember?
I began to notice more of my attention going towards that then things pertaining to the church. I'm not perfect, y'all. While I do feel that God has gifted me with writing and speaking talents, I had a come to Jesus meeting and came face to face with the reality that before me was already a calling and a resposibility I was starting to neglect.
Calvin, too, had his own moment of confession and repentance in regards to other things that took precedence.
We realized we had lost focus and burnout is REAL.
We were tired. We were navigating on auto pilot. We hadn't stepped away in so long. Mission trips don't count as vacations.
Our marriage felt the strain. Our schedules were crazy and we hardly spent time together. And when we did, all this just weighed heavy on us. It was almost always what we talked about.
We feared. We feared failing at this. We feared we didn't hear God right.
We questioned. Were we really the ones to lead this? Will any new families visit our church? Will God really provide?
Calvin and I, both individually and as a couple, had those encounters with God where we realized our selfishness, our fears, our insecurities and our short comings. We prayed and prayed for weeks. We confessed, we repented and we listened. And God spoke.
February 19, 2018 - I started my first day as an official employee at Christ's Mercy Church!!
A new season has commenced. My husband is my new boss!
I previously shared how I was a Social Media Coordinator for a larger church in the Houston area but after much prayer and consideration we felt God leading me to join Calvin at CMC. God faithfully provided the funding to make this possible, so I made the switch. It honestly was a total God thing!
In this, God made it clear to us that it's important for the both of us to be at CMC, for the both of us to continue seeking Him for vision and direction and for the both of us to shepherd the flock God has entrusted to us and reach the community around us.
I'm beginning to see more and more that when God called Calvin to lead this church plant, He called me, too. And I now have the opportunity to intentionally spend my days focused on that calling alongside my husband!
Things are changing, I can feel it. We carry the same vision, but with a renewed strength, dedication, and zeal!
Year 3 did not take us down.
God is so good and He has been incredibly faithful and patient with us.
We're learning, we're growing and we are realizing more each day the importance of abiding, trusting and having FAITH.
Friends, our own strength fails us. All the time.
Going your own way, doing your own thing, instead of what God has placed in front of you to do is working and laboring in vain.
Trust Him. He has something for you and it's far greater than anything you could create on your own terms.
Fear not. HAVE FAITH. Stay the course and lean not on your own understanding [Proverbs 3:5-7].
I'll end with this, if you have a pastor or spiritual leader... tell them thank you. Write them a note, send them a text, call them or straight up hug them next time you see them and tell them thank you. Appreciation and encouragement can go a long way.


We continue the Alpha Youth Series this week, and you can watch the series' trailer here. As you would have seen last week, this is a perfect time to bring friends who maybe aren't used to church or youth group.
Sunday nights will also be ending at 9pm. However we will then be hosting a movie night at the church; If you would like to stay with us for that, then plan to leave around 11pm!

Death of Frank Deasy
I was very sorry to hear about the death of Frank Deasy, writer of the BBC/HBO mini-series The Passion. Deasy did a great job on that programme - crafting a compelling account without resorting to the usual anti-Semitic Jesus film stereotypes - but will best be remembered for his work on Prime Suspect 7.
Deasy was sadly only 49 when he died. He had been fighting a long battle with liver cancer, and died during a transplant operation on Thursday. Just a few days before he had an article published in the Observer explaining his difficulties in finding a donor, which combined with a similar plea on Irish radio saw a leap of 10,000 people asking for organ donor cards. Fittingly, there's a follow up to that article in yesterday's Observer along with an Obituary. There's a brief paragraph on The Passion therein:
The Passion, the gospel according to Deasy, which the BBC screened at Easter 2008, seemed in contrast to his other work, except for the strong human values. "What I personally was fascinated by was the duality of Jesus in his divinity and his humanity," Deasy told Christian Today. "This is essentially a mystery, but his humanity has to be total, otherwise he is somewhat of a tourist in his own Passion. I've tried to find a human truth that feels real and that is not always the same as a theological truth, and so I would hope that people would be open to the fact they are watching a piece of drama rather than a theological treatise."
Various other news outlets are recording this including the BBC. I actually heard about this first from Mark Goodacre who, as historical consultant to The Passion, know Deasy quite well, and he talks a little bit about Deasy's work in his appearance on Duke University TV's Online Office Hours, which is now available to watch for anyone who missed it live. Mark also mentions that the show is due to air on HBO next year, most likely with a different title.
Deasy's interviews about The Passion are still available to listen to at rejesus.co.uk.

The enormous explosion at a chemical plant in Jiangsu's Yancheng on March 21st has sent shockwaves through the country. While state media are focusing on the efforts of rescue workers, Chinese social media users are mourning the lives lost and are searching for those still missing.
One day after a devastating explosion occurred at a chemical plant in Yancheng city in Jiangsu, at the Xiangshui Eco-chemical Industrial Zone, the number of confirmed casualties and injured has now gone up to 47 dead, 90 critically injured, with around 640 requiring hospital treatment (issued Friday 19.00 local time).
The explosion happened on Thursday around 14.48 local time at the Jiangsu Tianjiayi Chemical Plant (天嘉宜化工厂). Images and videos of the explosion and its aftermath quickly spread on Weibo and other social media, showing the huge impact of the blast.
According to official sources on Weibo, a total of 930 firefighters worked side by side to control the fire.
Trending photo on Friday: exhausted firefighters.
The hashtag "Lining Up to Donate Blood in Xiangshui" (#响水市民自发排队献血#) also attracted some attention on Weibo, with state media reporting that dozens of local residents have donated blood to help the injured. On Thursday night, there were long lines at a local mobile blood donation bus.
What is quite clear from the Chinese media reports on the incident and the social media posts coming from official (authorities) accounts, is that there is an emphasis on the number of people who are helping out, rather than a focus on the number of people that were killed: there are at least 930 firefighters, 192 fire trucks, 9 heavy construction machinery, 200 police officers, 88 people rescued, 3500 medical staff, 200 people donating blood, etc. – the number of people joining forces to provide assistance in the area is overwhelming.
Meanwhile, there are desperate family members who are turning to social media in search of loved ones, posting their photos and asking people if they know anything about their whereabouts since the explosion.
While dozens of Weibo users are airing their grievances on what happened, there are also more personal stories coming out. The wife of the local factory worker Jiang is devastated; her husband of four years, father of one son, celebrated his 30th birthday on Thursday. She received a message from her husband twenty minutes before the explosion occurred. He was one of the many people who lost their lives.
On Thursday, Chinese netizens complained that their posts about the Yancheng explosion were being taken offline, suggesting that information flows relating to the incident are being strictly controlled. "This is just too big to conceal," one commenter said.
This is not the first time such an explosion makes headlines in China. In 2015, an enormous explosion at a petrol storage station in Tianjin killed 173 people and caused hundreds of people to be injured. Two years ago, an explosion at a Shandong petrochemical plant left 13 people dead.

If you don't this proper bookkeeping and accounting matters, read this accounting nightmare story of the impact of mistakes in bookkeeping and accounting
True Story: Missing Assets Equal to A Year's Sales
You don't think finance and accounting matter in small business? Here's a true story, and it's about a small business like the ones I write about, in fact one I was involved in, not a large publicly traded company. $3 million worth of assets went missing, but nobody took them. Where do you think they went? Let's hope this accounting nightmare doesn't come up in your business.
This really happened
I know, that seems like standard large-company stock market stuff, but here's a true story of Creative Strategies International, which was then a medium-sized high-tech research and consulting company owned by Business International and based in San Jose, CA. Call it CSI. I should add that this story preceded the change in ownership to the Creative Strategies that is now the brainchild of Tim Bajarin, still exists, and is still in San Jose, CA.
I need to emphasize this, because I like Tim Bajarin and he's done a great job with the company since he took it over. I'm pretty sure the corporate entity even changed, I know the ownership changed, so I assume there's no harm in telling an old story. And I think there might be a lesson here.
Shortly after I started to work there, the New York parent company audieted. And, as you suspect from reading the title of this post, assets were missing. In fact, quite a sizable chunk of assets. In a company of 20 or so employees, selling $4 million or so per year, roughly $3 million worth of assets had disappeared.
Needless to say, the parent company was not amused. But there was no theft, no embezzlement, just bad accounting.
What do you think happened? Of course you have no idea, but let me give you a hint first, then think about it. The assets were accumulated research, not chairs or tables or computers or gold bullion, but research. Does that tell you the answer?
Don't Book Expenses as Assets
It turned out that CSI created what we called group studies, research studies that we'd design to cover some interesting new market in high tech, develop, finish, and then sell to multiple buyers. For example, a study in telecommunications would be created and developed and sold to 10 or 20 or more companies in the telecommunications markets. If you could sell a study that cost $25,000 to 20 companies for $5,000 each, they got a good study — market forecasts, competitive analysis, etc. — at a great price, and CSI made a healthy profit.
So have you figured this out? As the studies were created and developed, consultants were paid real money to research markets. They took real checks home and cashed them and paid mortgages and things. They also took planes to places and interviewed people, and purchased some secondary research, sometimes developed primary research, all of which cost money.
All of this spending should have been expensed as product development expense. It was just like computer programming in terms of tax treatment and standard accounting. You aren't really building an asset, you're incurring an expense. Product development is almost always an expense, even though it sometimes generates technology that goes into products that get sold for money.
Somebody doing the numbers assumed that since this would be cost of sales when the studies were finished and sold, and instead of calling this money development expense and subtracting it from profits, they'd call it assets, as if it were inventory, and subtract it from profits as direct costs.
It may have seemed logical at the time, but over time many of those group studies were started but not sold. If the sales were disappointing, instead of spending the full $25,000 and finishing the study when only two clients signed up for $5,000 each, they'd just dump the project.
And there's the rub: nobody went back to those supposed assets, the accumulated investment in product, and wrote it off. It remained on the books as assets, for several years, until the parent company audited. Nobody had purposely or intentionally done anything wrong, there was no fraud, no charges, no money recovered; just several very unhappy people.
Business Numbers Matter
I guess I'm some kind of weirdo, particularly as I was a literature major and journalist-writer before I got into business, but I like the business numbers and I think they're important. Maybe it's from stories like this one. No, I wasn't the accountant, I was one of the researchers, but I was also a vice president and those were bad times for all of us, not just the bookkeeper.

Types of IT Services for Telecommunications
Technology 22 July 2013 | 0 Comments
Today, businesses and individual people in Singapore rely on telecommunication mediums to communicate with one another. With the help of internet, it is easier for everybody to convey messages and information. Mediums of communication through internet and messaging are the most popular IT services that cater instant communication between people in Singapore. These technologies can be used in various locations where it is difficult to provide stable communication. Some of these IT services are emailing, video chatting, instant messaging, voice mailing, and the social networking sites.
Instant Message and Email
Instant message and email is the oldest IT service for telecommunications. Emailing is the first telecommunication medium to send texts, audio clips, video clips, text files and images. On the other hand, instant messaging provides faster exchange of messages than what emails can do. Most of these services are for texts and simple graphics only. Sending full length video and audio files are not advisable for instant messaging since it takes a lot of time for a file to upload. You can send links and URLs for instant messaging instead of sending the actual video/audio file.
This IT service allows face to face communication through video streaming. Unlike email, video chat takes place in actual time. You get to see and talk to the person on the other line. However, this type of IT services that can be implemented by IT services by dynatech in Singapore is highly demanding since you need to secure a computer with webcam, headset with microphone, and a stable internet connection in order to use the service. And for you to have smooth video steaming, your computer must run a 1GHz processor with at least 1 GB RAM. Video chat and similar types of IT services, such as video conference, is commonly used in teleconferenced business meetings, or by families who want to stay in touch with their loved ones in faraway places.
Voice Mail is a type of IT service in Singapore that allows the user to record, transfer, and store recorded messages. Before, voice mailing was only available for businesses and corporations. But today, it is one of the standard features of every mobile network. Although voice mail was basically for answering machines, IT services has upgraded its uses over time to fit the demands of the people and the world of electronics to create a more comprehensive messaging scheme.
Social networking is the most unique telecommunication service. It has combined features of instant messaging, emailing, video chatting, and gives access to image, video and audio clips posting. Overall, social networking is the most convenient way of communicating to your family, friends, and colleagues. It offers many ways on how to contact people and how do you want them to get in touch with you.
