ISLJ International Sports Law Conference 2019 - Conference Report - By Thomas Terraz
10. November 2019 Antoine Duval Blog, International Sports Law Events (0)
On October 24th and 25th 2019, the T.M.C. Asser Institute and the International Sports Law Centre hosted the International Sports Law Journal (ISLJ) Conference for a third year in a row, bringing together a group of academics and practitioners from around the world. This year's conference celebrated the 20th year of the International Sports Law Journal, which was originally started by Robert Siekmann. Over the past 20 years, the ISLJ has aimed to be a truly international journal that addresses global topics in sports law while keeping the highest academic standards.
With this background, the conference facilitated discussions and exchanges over six differently themed panels on international sports law's most pertinent issues and gave participants wide opportunities to engage with one another. Additionally, this year's edition also had the great honor of hosting two distinguished keynote speakers, Moya Dodd and Ulrich Haas, who were able to share their wealth of experience and knowledge with the conference participants.
The following report aims to give an overview of the ISLJ Conference 2019 to extract and underline the fundamental ideas raised by the different speakers.
Opening Speech: Moya Dodd
The conference was kickstarted by Moya Dodd, a former FIFA Council member and current ICAS member, who gave an engaging presentation on her experiences as an athlete in boardrooms of FIFA. After retiring from the Australian National Team, she began to become involved in sport governance, starting as a member of the AFC Executive Committee. She eventually made her way to the FIFA Executive Committee where she made it a priority to represent groups who did not have a voice in FIFA's governance. In this vain, she launched a task force for women, which helped spearhead reforms that brought gender issues into light. Ms. Dodd also explained how she worked hard to keep connections with persons outside of the sports governing structures in order to represent them from the inside. In the end, she explained how the experience playing sports helped develop skills that became invaluable in the boardroom. This includes, teamwork skills, constantly striving to improve oneself, valuing persons for their capabilities, and the ability to deal with setbacks. This discussion led particularly well into the first panel of the conference, which took a magnifying glass to the role of athletes in sports governance.
Panel 1: Where is the athletes' voice? The (il)legitimacy of international sports governing bodies
Antoine Duval and Marjolaine Viret began the first panel of the conference by exploring the athletes' voice in the fight against doping and particularly within WADA. They explained that in order for the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) and WADA to be considered legitimate, the actors most affected by its policies, athletes, would need to be participating meaningfully and have a real input in the decision-making process. This input requires an actual reflection in the regulatory output of WADA, and it entails not only consulting with athlete stakeholders but that representatives have voting powers on both the code revision process and the administrative bodies of WADA. Their study examines to what extent the current operation of WADA is in line with these ideals by examining the role of athletes in WADA's bodies and its actual regulatory output.
Mark Conrad studied the issue from a wider lens by explaining how the current representation of athletes in sports governing bodies is inadequate and why there needs to be a fundamental rethinking of the current athlete committee model. This model, he explains, is ineffective in truly representing athletes' interests, since their mandates are not clearly defined and greatly rely on the good favor of the federations' management. As an alternative model, he presented a collective bargaining approach, which already is widespread in North America, in which athlete unions would represent athletes' interests in a bargaining process with the sports governing bodies. Such a model would give the athletes 'real' representation by relying on their strength in numbers and by negotiating agreements that would entitle them to specific rights. These agreements could cover salary standards, salary controls, free agency, drug testing and many other aspects of the employment relationship. He concluded by discussing the general pros and cons of such a model but that overall, since athletes would actually have an effective representation, it would overcome any of the negative effects of such a model.
Panel 2: Criminal law and sports – criminal law of sports
The day's conversation then shifted from sports governance structures to the application of criminal law in sports. Björn Hessert kicked off the panel with a presentation on the cooperation and reporting obligations in sport investigations. He began by illustrating the catch-22 situation in which athletes may find themselves during an investigation. On the one hand, they are required to 'cooperate fully' with the investigation authorities, including providing self-incriminating evidence, or face sanctions. If they choose not to cooperate, then they also receive sanctions. This state of affairs may have had a direct impact on the skyrocketing number of sanctions over the past few years involving reporting and cooperation violations. Hessert argued that this situation could be significantly improved by introducing fundamental procedural rights found in criminal law systems to these investigations, such as the right to remain silent and the privilege against self-incrimination. These rights are found in article 6 (1) and (2) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Such a regime would force sports governing bodies to be creative in finding new strategies to investigate and prosecute alleged sports rule violations.
After Hessert's presentation on procedural rights in sports investigations, Jan Exner took the podium to discuss the proportionality of the sanctions in the anti-doping code. He began by giving an overview of the characteristics of the sanctions in the WADC, which include a fixed sanction framework and limited flexibility for panels hearing alleged doping rule violations. He explained that due to the rigid sanction framework of the WADC, panels hearing a doping dispute are unable to go below limits set therein and that in certain exceptional cases, these sanctions may be disproportionate. Exner then illustrated some of the negative effects of the current system in which CAS panels hearing similar factual circumstances end up with delivering different sanctions. Such a predicament, Exner argues, goes against any equality of outcome of the proceedings. In the end, he contended that there should be a revised sanction framework that would allow hearing panels to go below the limits set in the WADC as long as certain criteria are met in order to ensure that the sanction is proportionate to the rule violation.
Ruby Panchal closed the panel by shining a light on match-fixing. She argued that sports governing bodies have been so concerned with doping that match fixing has not been sufficiently addressed. Much like how anti-doping rules have been significantly developed over time, anti-match-fixing laws also need to be made far more robust. Panchal explained that certain factors essential for the development of lex sportiva will be essential in the growth of this field. These factors include the validity of unilateral action clauses, a growing relationship between sports governing bodies and state courts, the creation of evidentiary processes in disciplinary proceedings, and co-operation between sports governing bodies and investigative authorities. Panchal closed her talk by examining the approach of the Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions (Macolin Convention) in addressing this regulatory void. While the Convention takes a 'hopeful approach', the question remains open as to how effective it will be in combatting match-fixing.
Panel 3: Transfer systems in international sports
The last panel of day one of the conference took a deep dive into transfer systems in international sports. Jan Łukomski opened the panel by studying the finalization of international football transfers and professional football players' contracts. There are many kinds of agreements that could be potentially involved in the transfer of a football player, including offers, pre-contracts, definite contracts, that have significantly different legal effects. For example, the CAS explained in CAS 2008/A/1589 MKE Ankaragücü Spor Külübü v. J. that the difference between a pre-contract and a contract 'is that the parties to the 'precontract' have not agreed on the essential elements of the contract or at least the "precontract" does not reflect the final agreement'. This is just one example of a growing CAS case law on issues of contractual validity of football contracts. In the end, Łukomski explains that often times disputes on contractual validity stems from 'mistakes' that were made by clubs and players during the negotiation process.
Following the examination of the transfer system in football, Xavier Mansat gave the participants a small peek into the archaic transfer model currently in place in volleyball. He took the audience on a journey of the transfer of one volleyball player by emphasizing all the different steps and actors participating in the process. Mansat also elucidated the various administrative and transfer fees that are taken out at every step by the involved actors. He closed the panel by explaining that the current system is in the process of being challenged by a new stakeholder group, Association des Clubs Professionels de Volleyball (ACPV) and that it is likely that some of the components in the current transfer framework are incompliant with EU law.
Day one ended with an opportunity for the conference participants to unwind over a dinner in the charming harbor of Scheveningen.
Keynote lecture: Ulrich Haas
Day two of the ISLJ Conference was launched by a lecture from Ulrich Haas, who gave an in-depth lecture on the nature and function of association tribunals in international sport. Haas underlined that while association tribunals are the most important dispute resolution mechanism in practice, legal literature on them is scarce. The sheer volume of the decisions made by association tribunals is staggering. In the case of FIFA, the decisions are around 10000-11000 per year. After having demonstrated the incredible importance of association tribunals to the functioning of sports governance, he outlined their legal basis, which is based in the freedom of association (in Switzerland and Germany). Austria, on the other hand, makes association tribunals mandatory. Haas then began to unpack the differences between authoritarian decision-making, used by association tribunals, compared to other forms of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. Interestingly, he concluded that while all these differences can serve as indications of whether a body is an association tribunal or an arbitration panel, there is no set international standard to make this determination. Hence, there is a need to refer to national law in order to fill this void. In conclusion, Haas endorsed a procedural law approach over a substantive law approach to determine the appeals status of an association body's decision.
Panel 4: Rethinking sports arbitration
The first panel of day two of the ISLJ Conference took to rethinking the current framework of sports arbitration. Veronica Lavista was first to go and presented her findings on the influence of international dispute settlement on sports. She took an empirical approach to her study by going through CAS' case law and placing the arbitrators in those cases into different categories based on their background, such as a sports law, corporate law, or international law specialist. Based on this determination, Lavista was then able to identify that the makeup of the panel had an appreciable influence on the extent certain legal issues were discussed in the award. Lavista also underlined some of the overlaps between international dispute resolution and the CAS, including the voluntary nature of their jurisdiction, the use of ad hoc panels, and the explosion of case law over the past few decades.
Next up, Daniela Mirante and Artur Flaminio da Silva offered a case study in the Portuguese context of sports arbitration to argue that perhaps switching to a mandatory arbitration scheme would alleviate many of the issues currently present in the 'voluntary' arbitration model. Portugal created a permanent sport arbitration center in the Portuguese Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAD), which has a mandatory jurisdiction for 'all sports disputes related to administrative law'. After underlining many of the issues plaguing the TAD, such as institutional independence and arbitrators' impartiality, the confidentiality of the awards, and the high costs of arbitration, they explained the advantages of mandatory sports arbitration. First, it would get rid of the concept of consent, which they argue is a fiction since athletes must consent to arbitration or else not be able to participate in the sport. It would also reduce the time needed to render a decision since there would be less room for parties to challenge the jurisdiction of arbitration panels. They concluded that mandatory arbitration definitely could be a future path for sports arbitration but that it would have to follow a different path than the current Portuguese model.
To close the panel, Massimiliano Trovato brought forth his three 'radical' proposals to ensure the legitimacy of the CAS. Before unveiling the three proposals, Trovato gave a brief historical overview of the CAS and its relationship with the Olympic Movement to contextualize his arguments. He highlighted the interactions between the two and how certain individuals have held top positions in the CAS bodies and other sports governing bodies, like the IOC, leading to potential conflicts of interest. At this point, Trovato revealed his first proposal that article S4 and S6 of the CAS Statutes be amended to make the ICAS into a body ran by the arbitrators themselves, since they have both the ability and expertise to run the CAS for the interests of all the parties involved. Second, Trovato argued that the closed-list system of arbitrators be abolished under article S14 and move towards an open system. The quality of the arbitrators, Trovato explained, could still be assured by introducing certain minimum eligibility requirements for the arbitrators. The third proposal Trovato presented was that Article R65 be altered to make sports governing bodies responsible for the costs of arbitration, not the parties. Shifting the burden would make sports governing bodies more disciplined and would help compensate for the fact that athletes are essentially forced into arbitration.
Book L(a)unch: The Court of Arbitration for Sport and its Jurisprudence: An Empirical Inquiry Into Lex Sportiva by Johan Lindholm
During lunchtime, the conference participants were treated to a very special book launch from the ISLJ's chief editor, Johan Lindholm. His book, The Court of Arbitration for Sport and its Jurisprudence: An Empirical Inquiry Into Lex Sportiva, is an exhaustive and thorough empirical study into the CAS' jurisprudence, its arbitrators, and its parties. Covering a period of 30 years (1984-2014), the book tries to unpack some of the most often raised arguments against the CAS and puts these claims to the ultimate test. For example, whether particular arbitrators are more likely to be chosen by certain parties. Furthermore, the book, through impressive data visualization graphics, illustrates a variety of intriguing data samples, including what kind of cases the CAS has deliberated and to what extent the CAS can call itself a global international sports tribunal.
Panel 5: Revisiting the (in)dependence and transparency of the CAS
Following the book l(a)unch, the next panel treated conference participants to a fascinating debate on the (in)dependence and transparency of the CAS. Velislava Hristova launched the panel by exploring the intersection between human rights and sports arbitration and in particular, the right to a public hearing in sport cases. She used the ECtHR case of Mutu and Pechstein v. Switzerland to illustrate the topic. Before jumping into the legal issues, Hristova gave an overview of the nearly 10-year legal history of the Pechstein Saga. She explained that the case boiled down to four main issues: whether Article 6 (1) ECHR (right to a fair and public hearing) could be applicable to sports arbitration, whether Pechstein waived this right, whether the CAS is sufficiently independent and impartial, and whether the lack of a public hearing in this case actually violated Article 6 (1). Next, Hristova analyzed the findings of the ECtHR on these four issues and explained how the ECtHR concluded that while the right to a public hearing is not absolute, the lack of a public hearing in Pechstein's case was a violation because of the compulsory nature of sports arbitration, the fact that a public hearing was requested, the 'nature and complexity' of the case, and since the factual background had been contested. In the end, athletes, arbitrators and the CAS will have to take this landmark ruling into account moving forward.
Antonio Rigozzi further delved into the issue of the (in)dependence of the CAS by not only looking at the Pechstein case but also the Swiss Federal Tribunal's (SFT) decision in the Seraing case and how these rulings could potentially impact the CAS. Concerning the Seraing case, he explained how the SFT had to determine whether the CAS is structurally independent, which differs from the Lazutina case because the SFT had to determine whether it was independent from FIFA, not the IOC. In the end, the SFT did not find it necessary to depart from its analysis in the Lazutina case and deemed the CAS to be independent so long there were no overriding reasons indicating that FIFA is given special treatment. Furthermore, the SFT noted that the CAS had made significant efforts to strengthen its independence by improving its structure and functioning. Rigozzi finished by drawing some conclusions from the Pechstein and Seraing cases. First, the Pechstein case has made public hearings at the CAS an inevitability now that Article 6 (1) ECHR is fully applicable to its proceedings, and the CAS will have to improve the optics concerning its rules on the appointment of the president of the panel. Secondly, the SFT in the Seraing made clear that while CAS could be further 'perfected', it was not the proper institution to take on such a project. Instead, it placed the responsibility in the hands of the Swiss legislator, and it is yet to be seen whether they will actually take the initiative to introduce change.
The panel was brought to a close by Tom Seamer, who plunged into the issue of the independence and impartiality of CAS arbitrators. He argued that there could be two main areas of improvement in this regard, the ICAS and the appointment of arbitrators. Concerning the ICAS, only minor changes would be necessary to drastically improve the status quo, such as ensuring that its president be neutral and has no connections with any sports governing body, athlete or clubs. Secondly, Seamer supported the contention that certain arbitrators are repeatedly nominated by the same parties and often make decisions in favor of that particular party. He explained that in order to test this theory, one must only look at the period in which the particular arbitrator was on the approved CAS list and then determine the proportion of cases they were called upon by a particular party during that same period. Seamer closed by asserting more needed to be done in order to tackle these issues, while acknowledging some of the challenges ahead.
Panel 6: The future of sports: sports law of the future
The last panel of the conference took the opportunity to look forward into the future of sports law and discussed the growing fields of e-sports and extreme sports. On e-sports, Cedric Aghey tackled the issue of e-sports governance and how it could be potentially integrated into the current sports governing structures, since currently there is an unharmonized e-sport structure. At the moment, e-sports relies on a variety of stakeholders operating at different levels, such as games publishers, e-sports governing bodies, and investors. In order to address this situation, Aghey argued that the e-sports definition should be narrowed only to video games that seek to emulate 'traditional' sports. This would allow for a rather seamless integration of these e-sports into the already existing sports federations. For example, FIFA would absorb its FIFA e-sport counterpart.
Nick Poggenklaas also presented on e-sports but instead took a wider definition of e-sports by not only limiting e-sports to games based on 'traditional' sports. He contended that the current regulatory framework present in e-sports is inadequate to sufficiently protect minors from the negative aspects of sport. This issue is particularly pertinent, since minors make an exceptionally large share of the e-sport athletes, which is especially worrying since there have been cases of doping and sexual and financial abuse. Such cases question whether enough is being done to really combat these problems. Thus, Poggenklaas put forth several proposals that could substantially improve the situation of minor's rights in e-sports. He submitted that by creating an overarching e-sport governing body that would manage an abuse hotline, minors would be subject to a more rigid regulatory regime that would at least provide them with the opportunity and means to raise their concerns. Furthermore, Poggenklaas believes that the creation of players unions and further parent involvement would also help to ensure that minors' interests are sufficiently protected.
Lastly, Angela Busacca examined extreme sports and the kind of civil liability applicable to these activities. She first described the elements and different classifications of extreme sports under Italian law. For instance, extreme sports have a component of risk and require a certain interaction with nature. They can also be placed on a scale ranging from sports that have a set of pre-defined rules to those where there are no pre-defined rules and consequently giving a free range for the athlete's actions. In addition, extreme sports are categorized by those that have a clear governance organizational structure to those who do not have a defined structure. All these aforementioned components can have an impact on the establishment of civil liability and whom is responsible in case of an accident.
After two intense days of discussion and debate of international sports law's most pressing topics through six differently themed panels, two keynote lectures, eighteen invited speakers, and many other highlights, the ISLJ Conference 2019 came to a close. The Asser International Sports Law Centre was honored to have been able to host another successful edition. On behalf of the organizers, we would like to thank all the speakers and participants who made this conference such a success and look forward to seeing you all back at the Institute soon!

Thank you for the suggestion. I did call the airport and got a very kind informed representative . There is a lounge outside of door 28 leaving the baggage area and customs that is in the area that the HA reps will be in the morning. Once you leave you cannot go back into the baggage area. She advised that I would certainly not be alone and it is a common space for travelers to overnight in the airport. They also have 3 - 24 hour eateries for food and drink. Dilemma solved and flight has been booked. Thanks again!
I am doing a Holland America Cruise in October. I am looking at taking a late flight in and arriving Montreal between 1 and 2 AM. Will be doing the HA transfers from Montreal Airport to Quebec to pick up the cruise. My question: Is there a place in the baggage area or otherwise that I can hang for 6-8 hours to wait til morning. Is it safe for a loan traveler? Any place to get food or drink that you can go to and still get back in the baggage area to meeting HA reps in the morning. Thanks in advance!
Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord or Glacier Bay?
You are a winner either way. Tracy Arm is beautiful! The passages are much narrower than Glacier Bay so you get a much closer up close experience to land. Scenery is spectacular!. Even tho you don't see as many glaciers the one you see is absolutely beautiful. Have a wonderful Trip.
Zaandam OV cabin 7086 - photos/review?
What awesome pictures. Thank you sooooo much AryMay!!!!!! Lucky to have nabbed cabin 7086. I will be on her for the July 16, 2018 sailing and sure I will be enjoying every minute.
Thank you for the remarks. I checked out the Volendam photos and also found photos of 7055 on the Amsterdam. Looks like 7086 is the less obstructed of the two by the stairway. Neither obstruction are of issue. Perfect location especially since they are small ships.
Kodiak - Memory Makers 3 hour Tour?
Thanks for the responses! I did go ahead and book Memory Makers for the 3 hour tour. She was quite informative. Looking forward to it.
Anyone stayed in ov cabin 7086 on the Zaandam? What is your opinion of the cabin and location? Thank you in advance!
Has anyone used this tour company? What was your opinion of the 3 hour tour? Worth booking? Thank You!
2017 Jackpot year of bubble netting!!!
Thanks so much Budget Queen!
Budget Queen - I am headed to Alaska on the HA Sept 23 7 day cruise. Last minute as well. Ports Sitka, Juneau and Ketchikan. Any suggestions which port and vendor would be the best in your experiences.
I just got off of the 14 day HA Alaska in July and I am ready to go again. I was concerned about 14 days being too long but now 7 days seems awfully short. I would certainly go for the 14 day. It is nicely spread out between port days and sea days. Instead of the inside cabin you might want to consider an aft obstructed view cabin on the lower promenade or Navigation deck (only 2 on this deck) and you will be steps away from a covered back public deck.
A few questions - trying to decide if I want to book one. - positives or negatives on these cabins last Alaska 2017cruise of the season. - positive or negatives in general - is veranda and cabin same size as the majority of the other verandas rooms - are they fully covered - anything special about these cabins that would be worth the cost? Thanks!
Just got off 14 day Great Alaskan Explorer - Ask me anything!
I am on the 7/3 Amsterdam Alaska cruise as well. This is the notification I received for embarkation day from HA. IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION: We would like to provide you with important information regarding your sailing. To enhance the check-in and boarding experience, we ask that guests arrive at the terminal based on the following times. Guests who have booked a transfer or hotel package with Holland America will be provided a check-in time at the airport or hotel. 1:00 PM - Deck 6 & Deck 7 (Verandah & Navigation) 1:30 PM - Deck 3 (Lower Promenade) 2:00 PM - Deck 2 (Main) 2:30 PM - Deck 1 (Dolphin) We invite our 4 and 5 Star Mariners, Pinnacle and Neptune Suite guests to arrive anytime between 12:30 P.M. and 3:00 P.M. Boarding will commence shortly after check in. All guests must be onboard 1 hour prior to sailing. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and look forward to welcoming you onboard.
The layout of the room looks very liveable for 14 days and I agree looks like a great spot. Thanks to all for the posts and comments!
Fabulous photos.... Thank you SO MUCH!!! Think I am going to be very happy with the back deck. Very nice having the bed parallel with the window.


I hope the autumn has brought you peace and joy.
Good afternoon from beautiful Bere Island, County Cork, Ireland!
I've finally purchased my own domain and will eventually be migrating the Ring of Beara blog to the new site. I will save the old posts and create new ones. Please come adventuring with me!
News! In less than a month, I will be visiting Ireland. It's an exciting time for me and I can't wait to get back to the hills, the sea, and the beauty of the people who call Beara their home.
The blog will be up and running with new photos and new stories in the next few week as my plane will be touching down in Eire in the last week of October 2014.
I will be ready with camera and notebook in hand, and look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
Wishing you much love, peace, and happiness.
The weather was glorious yesterday so we decided to make our way to the beach. We chose the shoreline of the Bullig Bay Loop because it is within hiking distance of our home and the trail head is well groomed and easy to access. We started at the entrance to Dunboy Woods (near Dunboy Castle) and followed the path.
Parts of the trail are richly forested with ruins of guardhouses, watchtowers, and walled enclosures tucked here and there in the undergrowth. It will only be a matter of time before Nature reclaims it all.
The path winds easily down to Bullig Bay. It is so beautiful! There's an accessible little island in the centre and the water is clean and clear. Large fish were lazily swimming around the floating kelp beds, their fins sparkling in the sunshine.
The beach is rocky so I would recommend sandals or water shoes if you plan to go for a swim. That being said, there are parts of the beach where the stones have been finally ground by the waves, making it more comfortable for walking barefoot or just stretching out in the sun.
Because the day was still beautiful we decided to take the long way home and continue on our journey around the Bullig Loop. The trail takes you through forest and then up to a well marked stile and farmer's field. This is where things get a little tricky. Once through the stile you look up, way up a hill with a narrow pathway. It's important to get your bearings here because, as you can see, the path is virtually invisible at first. The important thing to do is look for the trail marker. See it there? Way at the top? It looks like a little stick just right of centre. That's the direction we needed to go.
Although this last leg of the Loop was a little steep it was totally worth the hike even though we'd already put in a full day at the beach. The views of the Ardnakinna Lighthouse on Bere Island were stunning. I'm hoping to get over there to explore the island before the end of summer. The history and magic of Bere Island is supposed to be breathtaking.
Before heading through the gate and back onto the road to our home we lingered a while at the top of the trail and soaked in the views of Castletownbere and Bere Island. It's really a moving experience to feel the sun on your face, and the ocean breeze in your hair while listening to the seagulls calling and wheeling around the cliffs below.
When you come to the Beara Peninsula for a visit make sure you pack a picnic lunch and a camera. I can guarantee that you will be in no hurry to leave.
It's so great to be back to the Ring of Beara Blog again. So many delays but I'm back on track. We've just moved house from beautiful Beal Na Lappa and its splendid vistas to a lovely, bigger home in equally beautiful Cahergarriff. If truth be told, I don't think that there is any place on the Beara Peninsula that isn't beautiful.
Cahergarriff ( Caher: means stone fort or ring fort, Garriff: means rough) is but a stone's throw from Dunboy Castle. The road to Pulleen Harbour is narrow but car worthy. It's also a great place for an ambling stroll to take in the sights and the peace of the countryside.
Although the area looks untouched and barely populated, it's amazing to think about the many lives that once graced the area. A quick visit to Archaeology.ie unveiled the remains of a stone fort, standing stones, beehive huts, and an ancient bridge leading to a long, disused road. At one time this little corner of the world was a hub of activity.
I'm so tempted to peek into that window, aren't you?
After passing some small farmsteads the land opens up into a boggy lake area embraced by the surrounding hills. I'm tempted to slip down to the lake later to see if I can photograph some of the bird life that visits the area. There's a grouchy old heron that often scolds me as I go by. If I capture him on film I will share the photos with you here.
Ah! Beautiful Pulleen Harbour. Isn't it a jewel? No wonder so many scenes from the movie Ondine were filmed here. You can watch the trailer for the movie below to catch glimpses of Castletownbere and Pulleen. The movie was filmed entirely here, on the Beara Peninsula.
Isn't the scenery so rugged and gorgeous? (and the landscape isn't so bad either 😉 ) After checking the archaeology maps more thoroughly I will go on a walkabout to see if I can find the standing stones, the huts or (fingers crossed) the stone fort itself. Stay tuned for more!
The thing I love about Spring in Ireland is that it bursts forth in a flurry of romantic, spring-time cliches. Misty, soft, rain? Check. Rainbows? Check. Frolicking lambs? Check. Flowers? But of course….
Throw in a pheasant crowing at the crack of dawn and you know that Spring has definitely sprung!
Over the last several days I've been awakened by a mysterious sound. The noise was like a cross between a chicken clucking and a rooster changing his mind halfway between a crow and a chortle. An early morning glance out of a misty window revealed a beautiful male pheasant happily nibbling away at the grassy seed heads by the fence. In some mythologies the pheasant is a solar animal and a harbinger of spring. It was my hope that our friendly alarm clock was announcing some sunny weather to come.
Sure enough, the sun shone brightly and the misty storm clouds rolled away over the distant hills. The land is gently greening but I know that, with a few more days of sun, the hills will be lush with emerald grass and flowering golden gorse.
One of the most delightful things about this time of year is the arrival of the lambs. If you ever need to de-stress I honestly urge you to find a field of ewes and their babies on a sunny day and enjoy the view. There is something so uplifting about watching the little ones sleeping and playing in the grass, such a scene can't help but put a smile on your face.
While the rest of Ireland has been digging themselves out for a week or more, the Beara peninsula has remained a little pocket of green. We happily enjoyed our bright skies and clear roads, until this morning that is.We woke up to a very white view out our front window this morning. It adds a lovely, festive touch to the landscape, don't you think?


Questo smontaggio non è una guida di riparazione. Per riparare il tuo Squier Strat Guitar, usa il nostro manuale di assistenza.
Pull off the three tone/volume caps.
Pull off the end cap on the pickup selector.
Note: This is not how the switch should normally look. This one is bent slightly; the tip should be pointing straight up.
Unscrew the three bolts holding the tone/volume potentiometers to the scratch plate.
Unscrew the eight screws which hold the pick guard to the main body.
Unscrew the two screws holding the pickup selector in place.
unscrew the six screws holding the three pickups in place.
Another method of dis-assembly: remove the pickguard screws (leaving pickup screws, pots and switch untouched).
Remove the jack plate, desolder or cut the output jack wires, flip over the guitar and desolder the ground wire on the tremolo. Remove the pickguard with all electronics attached.
This method gives easy access to do electronics repairs/mods, without having to readjust pickup heights and individual components won't move around when you're soldering.
Lift off the three pickup covers.
Remove the springs which were on the underside of the pickups.
Unscrew the two screws holding the lead input cover in place and lift off the cover.
Unscrew the input threaded bolt, which holds the output jack in place.
Unscrew the screw holding the bottom strap button in position.
Carry out the same process to remove the top strap button.
Remove the six screws securing the bridge to the body.
Take out the six screws holding the white back plate in place.
Remove the three tremolo springs from the spring claw and tremolo block.
Unscrew the two screws holding the spring claw to the body.
Remove Bridge from main body.
Undo the 6 screws holding the saddles to the bridge. Then remove the spring and unscrew the 12 threaded bars.
Unscrew bridge from the tremolo block.
Remove the four wood screws holding the neck to the body of the guitar.
Pull neck away from main body.
Unscrew the two small screws securing the string trees to the headstock.
Push the tuners from the front to pop them loose. It make take a bit of force if the alignment peg is stuck. Some use screws instead.
Remove the tension screw followed by the tuner button, metal and then fiber washer.
Awesome teardown! Keep up the good work!
Great for a "tear-down" per-se, but horrible first steps for anyone to use to get inside their Fender Strat.
To get inside, don't unscrew every screw from the surface as is described here. The faceplate of a Fender Strat (and many other guitars) holds all the electronics to itself, so you only need to undo the screws around the edges and then lift off the faceplate to get to everything inside. From here you can remove the components that matter and solder or re-wire as is necessary, and then replace the faceplate as a single unit.
The steps in this article will lead to far more work than is necessary if you plan on fixing or replacing aspects of the guitar.
I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the fix or have you found a solution?


Xanax is the brand name for alprazolam, a tranquilliser in the benzodiazepine class of drugs which is commonly used to treat anxiety – social anxiety disorder and panic disorder specifically. While not available on the NHS in the UK, it can be obtained via private prescription – as well as via the web, which accounts for a significant proportion of Xanax consumption in this country. Indeed, the UK is the world's second-largest market for illicit Xanax sales, and doctors and MPs have recently warned of an emerging addiction crisis in Britain: authorities estimate that 130 million benzodiazepine tablets including Xanax have found their way onto the UK black-market in the last five years. Street names for Xanax include "Xannies", "Zanbars", "bars", "whites" and "bikes"; if you overhear a loved one using those words they may be discussing illicit Xanax.
Xanax is taken for the pleasurable sedative and euphoric effects it produces in the user. It is a strong sedative compared with many available by prescription, and only a small dose is required to produce the required "high" when taken recreation. In large doses, it can produce extremely detrimental effects including unconsciousness and possible death by overdose.
Xanax use should be avoided where possible by pregnant women, elderly people, and people with conditions including glaucoma, liver complaints, respiratory depression, pulmonary disorders, sleep apnoea, and psychosis among others. Xanax can also be extremely dangerous when taken alongside other drugs especially including alcohol: excessive quantities of Xanax and alcohol in combination are a relatively frequent method of suicide due to the dangers posed by their interaction.
The above effects may manifest after only one dose of Xanax, and their occurrence does not necessarily indicate Xanax abuse or addiction. However, if any or all of those effects occur regularly, it is likely that the user is at least on the way to developing dependence and addiction. As with any drug, an addiction to Xanax can come to dominate an addict's life, as they become increasingly focused upon the consumption of the drug to the exclusion of everything else and as their regular intoxication precludes their participating in many normal activities.
Long-term Xanax abuse can result in the development of both physical dependence and psychological addiction; physical dependence to benzodiazepines can become so profound that withdrawal can result in death if not correctly treated by experienced medical professionals. The psychological addiction, meanwhile, can leave the user feeling totally reliant upon Xanax to get through daily life and can cause profound depression as well as regular occurrences of the negative short-term effects listed above. Moreover, long-term abuse can cause neurological damage including cognitive and psychomotor impairment.
As noted above, withdrawal from benzodiazepines can prove fatal if not correctly treated (those drugs along with alcohol are the only substances of abuse which can kill simply through withdrawal; therefore, developing a dependence on Xanax is a hugely dangerous thing to do, and if you feel your use of Xanax is becoming a problem even if you are not yet addicted, contact an addiction specialist or your GP immediately).
Many addicts prefer to try to overcome their addiction independently. After ceasing taking a drug, withdrawal symptoms can manifest and take a stronghold very quickly; in the case of benzodiazepines, withdrawal can cause fatal seizures and organ failure which can strike without much notice. As a result, even beginning a detoxification process without medical attention can be extremely dangerous and it is recommended that you contact the GP or an addiction specialist before beginning any detox treatment. The preferred option of Prescription Drug residential rehabilitation (rehab) provides medical care and therapeutic support 24/7 to ensure withdrawal is as safe and comfortable as possible.
1-3 days: benzodiazepine withdrawal tends to peak during the first three days, and this is when the patient is at highest risk of seizure. Mood swings, insomnia, nausea and heart palpitations may all strike; cravings will be intense.
4-7 days: the most severe symptoms will have passed but cravings and insomnia are likely to persist. Depression will probably manifest along with anxiety.
1-2 weeks: symptoms will tail off although cravings may return occasionally. If depression persists for longer than two weeks the addict may have developed post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) which may require long-term therapy to address.
Since the proliferation of Xanax abuse and addiction worldwide, a large number of different treatment methods have emerged. Some of these are not endorsed by the medical community, and may be extremely dangerous to the user; do not embark on a course of treatment – especially one which you have found online without a recommendation from a doctor or addiction specialist – without consulting your GP.
Your GP should always be your first port of call and you may wish to discuss with them options such as private addiction counselling, NHS services and support groups. However, the consensus amongst the medical community is that rehab is the most effective treatment option for long-term recovery as rehab provides a holistic combination of <strong>medically assisted detox for prescription drugs, a variety of therapy models, dietary and fitness plans, peer group support and reliable confidentiality.
Rehab has proven extraordinary successful in helping countless addicts to achieve long-term recovery. As Xanax has become more and more prevalent and damaging across the UK, an ever-greater number of Xanax addicts are finding the help they need in rehab.
If you are struggling with addiction to Xanax, you are by no means alone: unfortunately, many thousands of Britons are dependent on the drug. However, one silver lining to this greatly problematic cloud is that there is now a great level of expertise in dealing with this condition, and if you are ready to take the first key step and reach out for help, that expertise can be at your disposal. Addiction is a terrible illness and places a huge strain on the addict and on those around, and overcoming addiction can genuinely mean the difference between life and death. In order to avoid becoming another tragic statistic, and to get back on the path towards a happy, healthy, successful life, get in touch with one of our addiction specialists today and take that first step on the road to recovery.

Q: The lower bound of number of vertices covered by maximum matching in $3$-regular graph Let $G$ be a $3$-regular graph (cubic graph) with order $n$.
From here, the lower bound of # of vertices covered by maximum matching in $G$ is $\frac{3}{4}n$.
And from here, the lower bound is $\frac{7}{8}n$ (actually $\lceil \frac{7}{8}n \rceil$).
I understood the proof, but I am curious about the sharpness of these bounds, especially $2\alpha'(G) \geq \frac{7}{8}n$.
I tried to find better bound or find an algorithm to construct $G$ with $2\alpha'(G)=\frac{7}{8}n$,  but I failed both strategy.
Would you help me?

A: The bound $\frac{7}{8}n$ is tight.  The example shown below (image courtesy of David Eppstein) is a well-known cubic (planar) graph that has no perfect matching.

(source: uci.edu)
This graph has $16$ vertices, so the maximum number of vertices covered by a maximum matching is $14$.  Note that $\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7}{8}$, and we can get larger examples by taking disjoint unions of this graph.

But that's not the whole story. At the beginning of September, there were three ESX instances in the environment, but a fourth was added on September 14. The total VM Count stayed the same, but some VMs were moved from Angkor (the metric in blue) to Avaris (the metric in green). Using the information collected from Sightline, you can show both the high-level view and the details, too.
Is there a metric that you're interested in? Let us know, and we'll investigate!

Q: how to use a function defined in another javascript file? well i need to call a function defined in another javascript file(file 2) in file 1.
i just wrote
in file 1
var ball;
var ab=document.getElementById("abcd");
funcname();

now in the other file(file 2)
function funcname()
{
    ball=ab.width; //line 2
}

now it shows an error like cannot find ab when it comes to line 2
i cant understand why this happens...
and i tried this and this worked
in file 1
 var ball;
    var ab=document.getElementById("abcd");
    funcname(ball,ab);

in the other file (file2)
function funcname(ball,ab)
    {
        ball=ab.width; //line 2
    }

A: In first example of File2, ab is undefined because you instanciated it in another file (file2 can't use variables/functions defined in file1).
In second example you pass it in parameter of the function and that's the reason why the function can use it.
And pass ball in parameter of the function for setting it a value after is useless !


When I took newborn photos for my first set of twins at the beginning of this year, I never would have guessed that I would be doing my first set of triplets at the end of the year! Stella, Ivy, and Cora were actually about 4 months old when we took these photos, but they were pretty tiny when they were born and spent some time in the NICU, so they were just ready for their photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. They did great though and I had so much fun posing and snuggling them! What a precious addition they are to their family!


Kankhārevata. At AN.i.24 called "chief of musers"; verses at Thag.3, Thi-ap.491. Mentioned at Ud.5.7, MN.i.212, MN.i.462. He was scrupulous about and doubted what was allowable, kappiya. Cf. Thag-a.37, Ud-a.314, AN-a.i.230, MN-a.ii.247, GS.i.18, n.2.
chārikaṃ cannot here be ashes, which is its most usual meaning. But cf. Sanskrit kṣāra, treacle, molasses. Perhaps some confused reference back to the "four irregular things" of Kd.6.14.6 is intended here. The allowability of the first two has been emphasised in specific cases (in Kd.6.14.6 and Kd.6.14.7), and "mud turned up by the plough" (of Kd.6.14.7) is probably intended as an example of the fourth irregular thing, namely clay. Here occurs the same word as is used for the third irregular thing, chārika, there translated "ashes" where syrup or treacle would hardly fit; but here translated "syrup", as people would not put ashes into sugar to stiffen it, nor would ashes be called "food", āmisa.
kukkuccāyanta. AN-a.i.230, in explanation of Kaṅkhārevata's name, says "doubting means, having scruples; the meaning is being scrupulous".
Meaning of this passage is not clear. Vin-a.1092 says, "if ripe kidney-beans are also growing they may be used as much as you like, for these are allowed just because they are ripe". On mugga see BD.1.83, n.4.
loṇasovīraka. At Vin.3.86 it is called suvīraka. See BD.1.149, n.3.

Staples brings more variety to back-to-school
How the retailer is showing off a deeper product array with its long-running "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" platform.
By Josh Kolm
Staples Canada is returning to a well-established approach for this year's back-to-school season, albeit with more of a focus on older students and showing off the supplies parents might not have associated with the retailer.
Back-to-school has long been one of the most active marketing seasons for Staples. This year is no different, with a mass campaign featuring radio, digital display, social and a new TV spot, again featuring a version of the song "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
Staples first aired back-to-school campaigns featuring the Andy Williams song in 1994, taking a tune associated with holiday cheer and turning it into one that symbolizes the joy parents feel over getting rid of their kids. The brand has come back to the idea numerous times in both its U.S. and Canadian campaigns in recent years, typically featuring a cover of the song in a more modern style.
"We have a lot of equity in 'Most Wonderful Time of the Year,'" says Sandy Salmon, director of advertising at Staples Canada. "That's something people associate with the brand and sing to themselves when they walk in the store, all these years later. So we haven't done broad-scale changes to that core brand idea, because it has been very successful. What we have done is really elevated our current offerings."
Salmon says the insight behind the long-running platform is just as relevant now as it was back then, especially when coupled with the brand's more recent positioning around making things "easy." A survey conducted by Leger on behalf of Staples in July showed that 60% of Canadian parents, teachers and students enjoy the back-to-school season. Looking specifically at parents with school-aged kids, over 80% welcome the social aspect of school, with more than half saying they enjoy the increase in "me time." However, roughly half of parents feel at least some degree of stress about back-to-school, with the most common source of anxiety (according to 79% of respondents) being the cost.
"We are the back-to-school specialists, and that hasn't changed," Salmon says. "[But] we do have some more trendy items, and more tech and decor items than we have had in the past."
One thing that is new for this year's campaign is the Student Living Centre, an online and in-store hub for college and university students. Through an online portal and showroom-style displays in select stores, customers will be shown what they might not typically associate with Staples, such as bedding, decor, furniture and kitchen products. Staples Canada is working with Erica Ehm and her company Ehm&Co to promote the Student Living Centre, including a "#ThinkStaples" back-to-school event in late July.
Staples Canada has targeted post-secondary students in the past, although Salmon says it has been on a much smaller scale in favour of connecting with parents of younger children. But the array of shipping options Staples offers means parents can buy products from their local Staples or online. They can then have them shipped to the town their child will be attending school through its national retail network, making outreach to post-secondary students a natural fit. And with many of them looking to outfit their homes for the first time, the Student Living Centre is also an opportunity to once again show off its wider product array.
"We wanted to show we're not just about papers and pens and backpacks," Salmon says. "The rooms have things people know about Staples but also a lot of things they don't, so we wanted to showcase that in an interesting and exciting way by putting it together in more of a curated room. Seeing it as a built room. People don't realize all the things you can get at Staples. Showing it all together tells a totally different story than if you're just browsing online."

This chilling winter weather calls for some warm bread!!! Every so often, I like to make some bread to eat throughout the week, instead of eating the store bought sandwich bread. There's something about the depth and flavor behind the handmade loaf that makes it so much more appealing, despite the little bit of extra work.
This recipe is one of the simplest I've made! It has to sit for anywhere from 8-24 hours, but it's worth the wait! The best part is that you can forget about the bread that's proofing until you've got some time to bake it.
1. Combine water and yeast to activate the yeast. Allow the yeast to become slightly bubbly.
2. Whisk together salt and flour in a medium sized bowl.
3. Create a well in the center of the flour, and add the water. Use a durable rubber spatula or a bowl scraper to combine the ingredient.
4. Mix gently until the flour is just incorporated. You do not need to knead the dough; be careful not to overmix.
5. Cover the bowl well with plastic, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 8-24 hours. This allows the yeast to proof. You will see bubbles on the surface of the dough when it is ready.
6. When the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Place a loaf pan into the oven to heat with it.
7. When the oven has preheated, turn the dough over onto a very well floured surface.
8. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour, and tuck the sides of the dough in slightly.
9. Use your hands or a bowl scraper to fold the top of the dough to the middle, and then repeat the process to fold the dough in half.
10. Use your thumbs to seal the bottom of the loaf, then, carefully place the loaf into the hot pan.
11. Use a tented piece of tin foil to cover the bread. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes, until the bread had risen in the pan and the top is very lightly browned.
12. Remove the bread from the loaf pan, and then place it back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes, until it has a great crusty brown exterior.
13. Allow the bread to cool prior to slicing.
You can slice this bread into thin slices using a serrated knife. Once it is cool, you can place it into a plastic bag to store in the fridge or freezer if you don't plan to eat it immediately. I love this bread with some avocado with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, or with a nice spread of butter and a sprinkle of flake sea salt!

That's a start date. He was still at it after trump won the primaries. Still making deals with Oleg Deripaska.
Mueller and Rosenstein stated Trump has nothing to do / no link to Cohens case.
When did they make any statements? I haven't seen Mueller make a statement at all and the last statement from Rosenstein told us that trump is a subject of the investigation.
Hannity says Cohen did no legal work for him. And that guy from the RNC Broidy is it? He only had one matter settled by Cohen which means that the BULK of the evidence seized will pertain to donald trump... And only donald trump.
That was simply trump making Cohen the covfefe boy. He was distancing himself like he has with every indictment or revelation or discovery that's been released. Never heard of him. He was nobody. Served the coffee. Was a minor clerk. Was with us a very short time. Wasn't part of the organization. Was not paid. We've heard it all before. Over and over.
Seems some folks just never catch on.
Some folks are under the impression that every conversation trump had with Cohen was privileged. Or that every conversation someone has with their lawyer is privileged.
They are grasping tight to the statement that trump wasn't a target. They completely ignore that the president is a SUBJECT of the investigation. Subject to change at a moment's notice. Like being interviewed by Muellers team.


Sure, it's hard for you. Your brand doesn't get as much as you like.
It's hard for the consumer. A few people like to blab and babble. Most people don't.
Consider Iowa. Caucus turnout was huge. And yet it only represents a tiny percentage of the people who vote in the actual election in Iowa. What? The caucus stage is so much more important in the scheme of things (the Iowa electoral vote essentially never influences an election). So why skip the caucus?
90% of voters skip it because they don't want to stand up in front of people and tell them who they're voting for. They don't want to be challenged or made to look foolish. So they keep quiet.
That's what most of your customers do. They lay low, because they're afraid or shy or just not used to talking about brands and products or experiences.
Sure, 1% of your customers blog or post or just plain talk. They're louder than ever before. But the other 99% represent a real opportunity for you. Figure out how to get them out there. Cajole them to go to a caucus.


Developing New Food Products for a Changing Marketplace (2nd Edition) | Free eBooks Download - EBOOKEE!
Far exceeding the dynamic evolution prophesized by the editors of the first edition, food product development outstripped all expectations by incorporating several new phenomena. The demands of aging boomers for food that provides both taste and nutrition, the overwhelming consumer demand for convenience, the rapidly changing landscape of food retailing, and scientific breakthroughs in ingredient, processing, and packaging technology underscore the industry's propensity for change in the marketing, packaging, and development arenas. Such drastic change demands an up-to-date review of this expanding field. Driven by the recognition of the interdisciplinary philosophies that underlie this dimensionally volatile landscape, the editors and contributors of Developing New Food Products for a Changing Marketplace hardwire their vision of holistic food product developmentin their breakthroughsecond edition. World class authorities, seven of whom are Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Fellows, present the economic, functional, and novel reasons for developing new products. They go on to discuss formulation, sensory and consumer testing, package design, commercial production and, ultimately, product launch and marketing. Continuing to offer the up-to-the-minute information that made the widely adopted first edition so popular, the second edition introduces new concepts in staffing, identifying and measuring consumer desires, engineering scale-up from the kitchen, lab, or pilot plant; and generating product concepts. Applying insights from real life experience, contributors further probe the retail environment. They cover optimization, sensory analysis, package design, and the increasingly important role of the research chef or culinologist in providing the basic recipe.

I can't agree more with you. I have that same type of student in my classroom. Like you, I have had a hard time finding something else he wants to read that grabbed him and made him use his reading muscle like A Long Way Down!! Thank you Jason Reynolds for writing such a captivating book which has spoken to my student. Please keep writing more!!!


Admost Mediation is a client-server tool; its client part is an SDK embedded into apps and its server part is a database which keeps all the statistics collected from ad networks and its own SDK.
Admost Mediation SDK counts all impression numbers in each app for each ad placement and country and sends all these data to the database, also imports only revenue data from each ad network per country and placement by APIs automatically. eCPM rates are calculated in Admost Mediation database itself. Admost Mediation SDK pulls eCPM rates of each ad network for all the ad placements in the app for the country where the user opens the app.
Apps call only Admost Mediation SDK to get a list of ad networks in order of waterfall algorithm, so applications know which ad network is better to serve in order. Admost Mediation SDK's profession is just routing the app in order of calling ad networks to maximize the earnings.

Hence, the LCM of 40 and 70 by prime factorization is 280.
LCM of 40 and 70 by Listing Multiples
To calculate the LCM of 40 and 70 by listing out the common multiples, we can follow the given below steps:
Step 1: List a few multiples of 40 (40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, . . . ) and 70 (70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 420, 490, . . . . )
Step 2: The common multiples from the multiples of 40 and 70 are 280, 560, . . .
Step 3: The smallest common multiple of 40 and 70 is 280.
∴ The least common multiple of 40 and 70 = 280.
LCM of 40 and 70 by Division Method
To calculate the LCM of 40 and 70 by the division method, we will divide the numbers(40, 70) by their prime factors (preferably common). The product of these divisors gives the LCM of 40 and 70.
Step 1: Find the smallest prime number that is a factor of at least one of the numbers, 40 and 70. Write this prime number(2) on the left of the given numbers(40 and 70), separated as per the ladder arrangement.
Step 2: If any of the given numbers (40, 70) is a multiple of 2, divide it by 2 and write the quotient below it. Bring down any number that is not divisible by the prime number.
Step 3: Continue the steps until only 1s are left in the last row.
The LCM of 40 and 70 is the product of all prime numbers on the left, i.e. LCM(40, 70) by division method = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 = 280.
LCM of 4 and 12 - 12
LCM of 13 and 17 - 221
LCM of 15 and 18 - 90
LCM of 3 and 9 - 9
LCM of 40 and 70 Examples
Example 1: Find the smallest number that is divisible by 40 and 70 exactly.
The smallest number that is divisible by 40 and 70 exactly is their LCM.
⇒ Multiples of 40 and 70:
Multiples of 40 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, . . . .
Multiples of 70 = 70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 420, . . . .
Therefore, the LCM of 40 and 70 is 280.
Example 2: The GCD and LCM of two numbers are 10 and 280 respectively. If one number is 70, find the other number.
Let the other number be y.
∵ GCD × LCM = 70 × y
⇒ y = (GCD × LCM)/70

Aromatic evergreen shrub from the Mediterranean area, with narrow grey-green leaves and small pale blue flowers in spring.
Thrives in very well drained, poor soils, preferably neutral to alkaline, in full sun. Dislikes excessive winter wet. Best to cut back regularly in spring to retain a bushy shape and prevent the plant becoming leggy. Can be damaged by severe winters in cold areas.
Traditionally used as a culinary herb, but also makes an attractive ornamental shrub for hot, dry positions such as a Mediterranean style garden. Can be used as an informal hedge in mild areas.
Medicinal herb, strongly antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, also a good general tonic.
An essential oil is distilled from the leaves. Used extensively for perfumery and toiletries.


From the conception of Dayspring's (in)courage blog, I've been a reader. With content written by authors such as Ann Voskamp, Angie Smith, Emily Freeman, and Tsh Oxenreider—just to name a few—it would be hard to go wrong. So, you can imagine I'm very excited to have the honor of sharing my heart over on (in)courage today as a guest writer!
As he sat there in the dirty, stinking, cell with his back against the cold wall, Joseph had every reason to be miserable.
Sold by his brothers as a slave into a foreign land he'd risen to "top slave" in Potiphar's house. He'd been responsible and in charge of his master's possessions. And what was his reward? Because of his purity and respect for both his God and his master, he'd been thrown into prison, all because he wouldn't sleep with Potiphar's wife. She'd taken her revenge for his refusal, seeing to it that he would rot in jail.
Yes, Joseph had every reason to be downcast, depressed, and disheartened.

After his vehicle was attacked with water balloons a 23-year-old man confronted young people with a wheel brace, Craigavon Magistrates Court heard last Friday.
Chris Faloon, Ferngrove Park, Craigavon, was sentenced for a series of offences. He admitted driving without insurance on May 18 at Charles Street in Lurgan and possession of an offensive weapon, a wheel brace, in a public place.
Faloon also pleaded guilty to driving uninsured at Bridge Street, Portadown, on July 9 and not having insurance on July 26 at Castor Bay Road and using a vehicle which was in a dangerous condition.
A prosecutor said the offence of having an offensive weapon arose when water balloons were thrown at the defendant's car by children and he confronted them with a wheel brace.
He added that the balloons were thrown from a play park. The defendant's partner and young child were in the car which Faloon stopped in the middle of the road.
A barrister representing the defendant said he had been driving along when he came under a barrage of water balloons. He added that this was not the worst thing that could have been thrown at him.
The lawyer said Faloon asked the youngsters to desist but they didn't and one balloon came through a window and hit him.
"He should have known better," he commented.
The barrister said Faloon would welcome some supervision in his life and at the time he was under the impression that he was insured to drive the vehicle.
Deputy District Judge Laura Ievers imposed a 40 hour community service order and banned him from driving for six months.
For using a vehicle in a dangerous condition she fined him £100 and ordered him to pay a £15 offender's levy.


New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos and State Department of Health (DOH) Commissioner Howard Zucker, M.D., J.D., issued an Air Quality Health Advisory early in the day for the New York City Metro region for Monday, December 7, 2015.
An area of high pressure is situated over the Northeast, resulting in very light winds. At the same time, unseasonably warm air is present in upper levels of the atmosphere. The combination of these factors is resulting in very little air movement, therefore there is nothing to move pollution away from the area. Since the high population density in the NYC area results in high levels of emissions of pollutants, and because atmospheric conditions are not conducive to mixing and diluting the pollutants, the pollution has been building up and has reached levels that exceed the standard.
DEC and DOH issue Air Quality Health Advisories when DEC meteorologists predict levels of pollution, either ozone or fine particulate matter are expected to exceed an Air Quality Index (AQI) value of 100. The AQI was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale, with a higher AQI value leading to a greater health concern.
Fine particulate matter consists of tiny solid particles or liquid droplets in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in diameter. PM 2.5 can be made of many different types of particles and often come from processes that involve combustion (e.g. vehicle exhaust, power plants, and fires) and from chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
Exposure can cause short-term health effects such as irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and shortness of breath. Exposure to elevated levels of fine particulate matter can also worsen medical conditions such as asthma and heart disease. People with heart or breathing problems, children and the elderly may be particularly sensitive to PM 2.5.
When outdoor levels are elevated, going indoors may reduce your exposure. If there are significant indoor sources of PM 2.5 (tobacco, candle or incense smoke, or fumes from cooking) levels inside may not be lower than outside. Some ways to reduce exposure are to minimize outdoor and indoor sources and avoid strenuous activities in areas where fine particle concentrations are high.
A toll free Air Quality Hotline (1-800-535-1345) has been established by DEC to keep New Yorkers informed of the latest Air Quality situation. Further information on ozone and PM 2.5 is available on DEC's website and the Ozone Fact Sheet webpage on the DOH website.
The Air Quality Health Advisory region affected was: Region 2 New York City Metro which includes New York City, Westchester and Rockland counties.

Top pilots union lobbyist dies in plane crash
by: Karl Evers-Hillstrom
Johnathan Benton, the Allied Pilots Association's longtime top advocate in the nation's capital, died in a plane crash on Monday, according to the pilots union. He was 53 years old.
Benton was one of two people onboard a Piper PA-32 aircraft that crashed shortly after taking off from a regional airport in Bethany, Okla. The other victim was identified by authorities as John Hazelton.
"If you ever had the privilege of spending time with Johnathan, you were immediately struck by his sunny disposition, wry smile, and genuine warmth. He would never miss an opportunity to talk about his family or ask about yours. We will miss his laughter and his Oklahoma twang, and his steadfast commitment to bettering his fellow pilots' lives," the Allied Pilots Association wrote in a release.
Benton was chairman of government affairs at the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines pilots, where he pushed for stronger federal safety rules and an end to flags of convenience. He was named to The Hill's "Top Lobbyists" list for three consecutive years from 2020 to 2022.
"Johnathan was a force to be reckoned with on Capitol Hill and beyond. He was equally comfortable in the halls of Congress debating the issues that affect our profession as he was sitting with a group of pilots swapping stories and sharing a few laughs," the Allied Pilots Association wrote.
Benton joined American Airlines as a pilot in 2000. Prior to that, he was an Air Force pilot who spent more than 750 days deployed in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident, according to the pilots union.
Benton's funeral mass is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Jan. 28 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Mustang, Okla.

Luminous Emptiness was written by Marcelo Toledo for seven instruments: flute, clarinet, violin, cello, trumpet, trombone and percussion. He was commissioned by The Essl Collection for the SCHÖMER-HAUS in Klosterneuburg, Vienna. Luminous Emptiness premiered at Wien Modern Festival 2012 by the new music ensemble Klangforum Wien, conducted by Jean-Bernard Matter. This is the recording of the dress rehearsal. The work is dedicated to Gerardo Gandini.
As yet another version of the same experience, the material of this composition is a group of about 20 constellations from the northern hemisphere. Their visual configurations suggest lines of forces of various types offering a palette of structural possibilities. Space becomes time, and constellations become musical objects in permanent transformation. That transformation, however, is not expressed in the constellations themselves, but rather in their positioning inside the musical space, both in terms of frequencies and durations: constellations rotate and move along the pitch and time axes, reproducing themselves in multiples or independent linear trajectories.
The limited number of constellations as musical objects was decided as a necessary constraint from which to explore several states of perception throughout the work, creating continuity and difference with the same musical materials. The large-scale form is composed of areas in which the organizational principle is that of symmetric structures placed slightly off of each other. The same principle is reflected in each section of the work with the intention of avoiding hierarchies or moments that could be more significant than others.


Coastal Bangladesh is both rich in aquatic and terrestrial resources and subject to natural and humanmade risks and vulnerabilities of flood, cyclone, political change, competition for resources, deforestation, piracy and the like. Since the 1950s, two of the most important transformations in land use along the coastal region of Southeast Bangladesh have been the growth of solar evaporative salt production (from an older salt sector) and the introduction of export shrimp culture. This paper traces the development of these two 'industries' over the past 50 years in the southern part of the southeast coastal region. It summarises their impact on longstanding land and aquatic use practices such as fishing, farming and forestry and on the lives of people dependent upon these practices. Through a case study of the Chakoria Sundarban, it illustrates the piecemeal and fragmented approach to coastal development of the East Pakistan and Bangladesh governments since 1950 to the 1990s. Finally, it describes briefly the new Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan set for implementation in 2006, which promises to provide a more inclusive and integrated approach to coastal planning.
