INDY LIGHTS: All That Could Be Done; Harvey Wires Sonoma Finale, but Chaves Wins Title on Second Tiebreaker
RaceChaser Staff August 24, 2014 Featured, Mazda Road to Indy, Sprints & Midgets, West 0 Comments
SONOMA, Calif. – official release — Al Steinberg photo — Less than nine hours after a major earthquake hit the Napa Valley region of Northern California, the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires contingent took to the nearby Sonoma Raceway road course for their eagerly awaited championship finale on Sunday.
Title rivals Gabby Chaves and Jack Harvey were separated by just a dozen points after 13 races. The 38-lap race might not have replicated yesterday's action-packed closer to the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, but there was still plenty of drama as Harvey swept to another emphatic victory for Schmidt Peterson Motorsport with Curb-Agajanian.
The Englishman had done all he could in the No. 42 Racing Steps Foundation Dallara. His fourth race win of the season tied him on championship points and race wins with series leader Chaves (Belardi Auto Racing), but it was the Colombian-American who would take home the championship crown – and a $750,000 Mazda Road to Indy Scholarship to assist with the advancement to next year's Verizon IndyCar Series – by virtue of his five second-place finishes to Harvey's one.
Harvey, a 21-year-old from Lincoln, England, started from the pole for the second day running and his only moments of concern came even before the green flag fell as the first two attempts at a start were waved off due to a misalignment of the field. Harvey was adjudged to have anticipated the first attempt, while Chaves was at fault at the next go-round.
Harvey took advantage of his pole position to assume the lead heading up the hill, while Chaves slotted neatly into second. A fine start by Colombian Juan Piedrahita (SPM w/Curb-Agajanian) enabled him to jump fellow second row starter and teammate Luiz Razia for third, while the third title contender, Zach Veach (Andretti Autosport), somehow managed to work his way from eighth to fourth.
Harvey made an immediate break, setting what was to stand as the fastest lap of the race (worth one championship point) on lap six, then pulled away with every single lap. He ultimately finished a full 18.7018 seconds clear of Chaves, who nevertheless had achieved his goal. Second place was all he needed to clinch the championship.
Piedrahita held off a long train of cars for the majority of the race before making a couple of mistakes under braking for the Turn Nine chicane and sliding across the dirt. The second one cost him dearly, as both Veach and Razia had made their way past before Turn 11.
Veach held onto third in the face of intense race-long pressure from Razia, while Matthew Brabham finished fifth in the second Andretti Autosport entry.
Harvey's victory and Razia's fourth-place finish was enough to clinch the Team Championship for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian.

The last ten years of my counseling career has focused on the special needs of women. Multiple roles, responsibilities and self expectations have lead many women to feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, powerless or hopeless. Feelings that can often lead to anxiety, depression, loss of self, low self-worth or self esteem. The results may develop into problems with marriages, divorce, relationships or parenting. Many women may also find themselves facing the concerns, questions and adjustments surrounding mid-life issues and life-management.

Small Yet, Mighty
A shift toward smaller abrasives helps fabricators achieve better end results
By Abbe Miller
September 11, 2019 · in Modern Abrasives and Deburring
Over the past decade, the metal fabrication industry has gone through some seismic shifts. From new, productive technologies and automation to changes in workforce demographics, shop floors don't look like they once did. As big ideas such as Industry 4.0 are transforming the manufacturing landscape, there are plenty of small changes that are making significant impacts, as well.
According to Patrick Carroll, senior product manager, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) at Norton | Saint-Gobain Abrasives, the use of smaller abrasives and supporting tools is on the rise. It's based on a need to produce parts with fine finishes and provide more control with less gouging of parts, all while improving ergonomics for workers.
"In addition to achieving better finishes, the smaller abrasives trend is in response to reshoring initiatives and the need to accommodate a workforce that is constantly being tasked with more responsibilities," Carroll says.
"For companies that have decided not to move their labor overseas and for those that are bringing that work back, it's more important than ever before to take care of employees. Having a smaller tool and a smaller abrasive helps with common issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome while also making it easier to achieve the desired end result with less operator fatigue."
Definition of Small
The definition of a small abrasive is about as straightforward as they come. For example, if abrasive discs and wheels are, on average, 4.5 in. and larger in diameter, then smaller abrasives are, well, smaller than that in diameter.
To make it easier to get into hard-to-reach areas and to also reduce operator fatigue, Norton released its line of Merit Pink small abrasives.
Like their larger counterparts, Norton's smaller abrasives come in a range of product shapes, including quick-change discs that typically measure 4 in. in diameter and less in both coated and non-woven versions, and mini flap discs that measure 3 in. in diameter and less. Similarly, flap wheels measure 3 in. in diameter and less and are popular in 60, 80 and 120 grits.
Smaller abrasives are also available in a range of specialty shapes, including coated spiral bands, cartridge rolls, tapered cartridge rolls, square pads, cross pads, overlap slotted discs and bore polishers as well as non-woven cross buffs and stars. Specialties, such as cartridge tapered spiral rolls that are available in diameters less than 1/2 in. and square and cross pads that measure 3 in. and below, are especially helpful for getting better control in hard-to-reach areas.
Watch the video to learn how Norton's lightweight die grinder fits in with the growing trend of smaller and lighter abrasives.
In addition to the physical dimensions of the abrasive product, the idea of smaller abrasives also encapsulates power hand tools, such as lighter weight angle and die grinders, as well as improved ancillary abrasive tools, such as mounted points and carbide burrs. When both the abrasive and the handheld tool are lighter weight, the fatigue felt by the operator is greatly reduced.
"Better control of the tool is another key benefit that's tied to the lighter weight of smaller abrasives," Carroll explains. "That translates to less rework and a smoother, consistent surface finish. It also translates to less instances of carpal tunnel. Customers could achieve all of those benefits by simply using, as in just one example, a 3-in. disc instead of a 7-in. disc."
"In addition to achieving better finishes, the smaller abrasives trend is in response to reshoring initiatives and the need to accommodate a workforce that is constantly being tasked with more responsibilities."
Patrick Carroll, senior product manager, MRO at Norton | Saint-Gobain Abrasives
Ample Applications
Although the abrasives may be small, the range of applications for which they're well suited is big. From a channel perspective, smaller abrasives are finding favor with those in basic metal fabrication and MRO as well as in the aerospace, medical, railcar and energy markets. Outside of industrial applications, the abrasives are also popping up in the DIY world and for work in the automotive aftermarket.
The Merit Pink line includes flap wheels and specialty abrasives, including cartridge/ spiral rolls and square/cross pads for use when beveling, blending, cleaning, detailing, deburring and finishing stainless steel and other hard-to-grind materials
From a materials standpoint, smaller abrasives work well for stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium and Inconel, among others.
"Considering that stainless steel or harder materials are often the materials of choice, a hard abrasive grain and versatile abrasive backing are incredibly useful," Carroll says. "Several of Norton's small abrasives exhibit those characteristics, but it's also their lighter weight that gives operators better control of the tool and, therefore, the better, more consistent finishes that these applications require."
The mounted points in the Merit Pink line of smaller abrasives feature Norton 86A aluminum oxide abrasives, which provide an important combination of friability and form holding.
"For so many customers, especially in medical and aerospace, consistent grain finishes and tight tolerances are a must," he adds. "Whether it's a knee replacement or a jet engine blade, there is no wiggle room when it comes to tolerances."
Regardless of the application, smaller abrasives are preferred by any employer that values the health and well being of their employees. When employees are tasked with grinding and finishing throughout an eight-hour day, there are short- and long-term effects.
Short-term effects include fatigue, which can result in inferior surface finishes – especially as the workday wears on. Long-term effects include back and shoulder injuries, which can be costly for the employee as well as the employer. Giving employees a lighter weight tool, however, can reduce the chances for both the short- and long-term effects.
"Having a smaller tool and a smaller abrasive helps with common issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome while also making it easier to achieve the desired end result with less operator fatigue."
Productivity in Pink
In response to the growing trend of smaller abrasives, Norton released a new product line that includes small specialties and flap wheels that are specific to stainless steel applications. The Norton Merit Pink R928 line of products is what Carroll describes as a better tier line of flap wheels and specialty abrasives.
Norton Merit Pink square and cross pads are almost as fast as hard wheels but are smoother and easier to control. The pad wears down consistently to expose fresh abrasive and becomes round for less aggressive stock removal.
Included are cartridge and spiral rolls and square and cross pads that feature a ceramic grain that improves beveling, blending, cleaning, detailing, deburring and finishing in stainless steel and other hard-to-grind materials. Also included are mounted points that feature Norton's 86A aluminum oxide abrasive, which delivers friability and form holding.
To deliver on durability, the Merit Pink flap wheels feature a polycotton backing instead of the cotton backing traditionally found on other abrasive products. They also have a special coating on the grain/bond, which reduces friction for better grain holding ability that can be helpful when dealing with hard-to-grind materials.
"The key point of the polycotton backing is that it offers the best of both worlds – the long life of a polyester backing plus the flexibility and finishing characteristics of a cotton backing," Carroll says. "The Merit Pink flap wheels also have a grinding aid that reduces heat at the point of contact, which is important for so many of our customers – especially those that cannot compromise on tolerances or aesthetics."
To tie it all together, Norton released a handheld pneumatic die grinder that's lighter weight and more ergonomic than most other die grinders on the market. The die grinder can be used with all of the abrasives in the Merit Pink line. In fact, the new die grinder complements the previously released 2-in. and 3-in. Norton Mini Angle Sanders, broadening Norton's offerings in this category.
"Norton is so committed to spreading the word about small abrasives that it chose a distinctive pink color for the new line of products," Carroll says. "We understand that customers have a history of using the bigger stuff, but we need a culture change. We hope that the pink color garners a lot of attention and helps drive that shift."

This week's Monday Morning Moment: Parenting: Mind over Genes. Most scientists have taught that we are pre-programmed into our genes. In the old world, it perceives life's attributes and deficits, as well as our health and our frailties, as merely a reflection of our heredity expression. In the new world, we know that the environment controls gene activity. In this video, I'm going to discuss what it means to be conscious parents. We're gonna take a look at the conventional birthing process and dive into that parenting mind-body connection between baby and parent. Finally, I'm going to explain why modern medical intervention is the "monkey wrench" that has made normal natural parenting difficult. Finally, I'm going to present a plan that will make conscious parents true superheroes in today's old world conventional medical culture that likes to name it, blame it, tame it, with a drug versus….

Boxing News, Featured Stories
Andre Ward Debuts at Light Heavyweight
by Robert Ecksel

Saturday night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, Andre Ward (29-0, 15 KOs), the fighting pride of Oakland, in his first fight at light heavyweight, won a unanimous decision against Sullivan Barrera (17-1, 12 KOs), from Miami, Florida, by way of Cuba, after 12 rounds.
The final scores were 117-109, 119-109, and 117-108.
Ward had not fought in nine months but was the favorite going in. He has not lost a fight in 20 years, amateur and pro, and the manner in which he cleaned out the super middleweight division in the Super Six tournament looms large in the legend of S.O.G.
Barrera was seen as a good test for Ward at light heavy. He had an impressive amateur career boxing for the Cuban team, going 285-40. He is technically sound and somewhat heavy-handed. But Barrera had never shown the elevated boxing IQ one needs to defeat a bona fide boxing master.
Fighting out of the black corner in black trunks with white trim, it took a few rounds before Ward could find his rhythm. Ring rust and fighting at a heavier weight have slowed him down somewhat. He did what he needed to do, Ward always does what he needs to do, but he looked impressive only as the rounds progressed and Barrera faded.
Fighting out of the red corner in white trunks trimmed in red, Barrera fought well and fought nobly, but he was in way over his head against Ward. He won a few rounds. There were some notable exchanges. Ward was pretty banged up when it was over. But there was never any doubt about who would win.
With a blockbuster against WBA/IBF/WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev looming, the bout with Barrera was a test of sorts and, having failed to make a statement by stopping the Cuban, despite dropping him in the third round, produced endless speculation as to how Ward would fare against the Russian knockout artist.
Ward graded his performance against Barrera a B-, which seems about right. It was a good but not great performance against an opponent who fought the fight of his life and still lost the decision.
Ward said after the fight that it's "when, not if" he fights Kovalev, but he needs another fight, and perhaps even a tougher fight, before he's ready for that challenge.
"I've been focusing on Sullivan Barrera. I couldn't think about anything else. There is no second fight, there is no shot at the title if I didn't handle business tonight, so now I can focus on that."
Kovalev was ringside, scouting Ward and oozing confidence, looking for all the world like the cat that ate the canary. He has never faced anyone as accomplished as Ward, which is why this fight is so intriguing.
"I felt that he would stop Barrera early," said Kovalev. "But Barrera did better than I expected. I'm very happy that he won and it takes me one more step to our possible fight. It's possible because we have to win one fight more, then after that our fight.
"He looked very good, but I know that he can look much better. He didn't show his entire arsenal because he was off so long. It will be an interesting fight when we meet."
When asked what he learned from Ward's fight with Barrera, Kovalev said, "I saw that I can touch him. In the ring I will show exactly what will happen."

Asparagus Panzanella is made with sweet cherry tomatoes, crispy homemade ciabatta bread chips, and green asparagus! A perfect salad recipe for spring.
Spring time means asparagus time! Where we live there is only a short period of time where you can get fresh regional asparagus. Our home region, Franconia, is famous for its white asparagus which grows under the earth and tastes different than the green asparagus. But I have to admit at home I prefer cooking with green asparagus because it's easier to handle!
Most of the time, chances are, that your store-bought green asparagus is ready to go without being peeled. But if your bunch is a bit tough and fibrous at the end I recommend peeling the lower third. It's much easier to peel than white asparagus, which is really a pain in the b** to peel.
So green asparagus is definitely the way to go at home for me! It's a great addition to spring salads like this Asparagus Garlic Bread Salad which is a great way to have your bread in your salad and not as a boring side.
We went to Prague a few weeks ago and there they served this delicious roasted garlic bread. Peter had it almost 3 times a day and so had I because you know it's not good if only one eats garlic. It was so tasty!
For this salad, I made my own version using a ciabatta loaf. I cut it into fine slices and roasted them in the oven. 3 minutes later they were crispy and golden and I immediately rubbed them with a garlic clove. They were so good, you could eat them without the salad!
This salad makes a great lunch or dinner! And if you want to serve this salad as a side, Grilled Chicken or my Easy Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna would make a great main dish.
Asparagus Panzanella is made with sweet cherry tomatoes, crispy homemade ciabatta bread chips, and green asparagus! A perfect recipe for spring.
Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Cut the bread into very thin slices and spread the slices in one layer out on a baking rack. Put the baking rack into the hot oven and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy. Peel and cut the garlic clove in half. Rub with the garlic halves over the crispy bread. Set aside.
Wash and dry your green asparagus. Cut off the ends, peel the lower third, and cut the asparagus into 1.5-inch pieces. In a small pot bring water to a boil, add 1/2 tsp salt and add the asparagus. Cook it for 3 minutes until it is al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Wash and cut the tomatoes into halves. Put them with the asparagus in a big serving bowl.
To make the dressing, put vinegar, olive oil, and agave syrup or honey in a screw-top jar. Shake the jar until combined and season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the tomatoes and asparagus.
Pick the basil leaves from the stalks, chop them coarsely, and add them to the salad.
Just before serving add the garlic bread chips. Enjoy!

Cognitive therapy is maximized when it is combined with other therapies that require physical conditioning, i.e., physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy. Also, to establish baseline data, it is highly recommended that neuropsychological testing is part of the overall cognitive therapy program.
The Cognitive Systems Teletherapy System can also help improve a person's ability to process information more quickly and maximize his or her thinking skills. This is based on the concept that everyone has some cognitive deficits; however, the brain has the capacity to "work around" the deficit allowing the person to function but not optimally. Additional research has demonstrated that diet and exercise can help to accelerate the cognitive development process in the brain.

I couldn't disagree with Movieman more.Animated features ARE movies and have their own catgory at the oscars for best animated film.Granted they belong in a different catagory then live action feature films.But they deserve to be rated just like any other film released. That being said,this movie was really good.Had a great story,great music and was fairly funny.i was entertained and would see this one again.Well worth the price of admission!

With all due respect to Pixar, cartoons are NOT movies and shouldn't be rated as such. They're child's entertain good for Saturday morning and DVD "shut up" time for the kiddies.

If you think you're helping someone by lying, you may want to think again.
Telling a lie in order to help or protect someone—a practice known as prosocial lying—backfires if the person being lied to perceives the lie as paternalistic, according to new research from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
In the paper, "Paternalistic Lies," published in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Chicago Booth Assistant Professor Emma Levine, Deakin University's Matthew Lupoli, and UCLA Anderson's Adam Eric Greenberg, find that well-intentioned lies can spark strong resentment from the person who is deceived.
The researchers identify a key factor that determines whether people respond positively or negatively to prosocial lies: the extent to which the lie provides unequivocal benefits for the recipient.
In some instances, people welcome deception, the authors note.
"When the recipient agrees that he or she is better off being lied to, for example, when the lie brings the target a monetary gain, or when the target has already made their desires for deception known to the liar, targets welcome deception. But if there is any question about whether the lie is superior to the truth, people would prefer not to be deceived," Levine said.
The authors define paternalistic lies as those that require the liar to make assumptions about whether lying is in the deceived party's best interest. For example, although most people agree that falsely telling a bride she looks beautiful on her wedding day benefits the bride, there may be considerable disagreement about the benefits of falsely telling a friend she looks beautiful in new clothing she is trying on, when the clothing is in fact unflattering and she would be better off without it. When the communicators choose to lie in this case, they are likely acting on their assumptions about how the person will handle the truth.
The targets of paternalistic lies tend to believe that the liar 1) doesn't have good intentions, 2) is violating their autonomy, and/or 3) inaccurately predicts their preferences.
The research team was surprised to find that even when paternalistic liars explain to those they deceived that they meant well, the communication of intention does little to reduce resentment.
For example, in one of the seven studies in the paper, researchers had half of the deceivers explicitly tell the targets that they told the lie because they thought it was best for the recipient. The other half got no so such communication. However, both groups had the same levels of unhappiness with the deceivers, and both groups were just as skeptical of the deceivers, "suggesting that they simply did not believe the word of those who told paternalistic lies," Levine said.
The findings have important implications for policies that implicitly or explicitly condone paternalistic lies. Governments, for example, might withhold information about a security threat to avoid widespread panic, but it may be difficult to convince the public that lying was for the best after the deception has occurred. Likewise, doctors may tell paternalistic lies to patients by giving them overly optimistic prognoses in order to provide hope, without ever discussing the patient's preferences for hope versus realism.

Remembering Pte. Percy Fisher
The Memorial Cross awarded to Percy Fisher's Mother
In May 1918 George Fisher wrote a letter to the editor of the Signal newspaper in Goderich Ontario regarding the death of his younger brother Percy in March of that year. Ninety-six years later his great nephew Tony Adamson left a comment on my blog when he noticed that I too was researching his great uncle Percy Fisher. Last month Gordon McWhaw, a former member of the Royal Canadian Hussars, also left a comment regarding Percy. Gordon was in possession of the Memorial Cross given to Percy's mother after the war. I'm very pleased to report that the Memorial Cross will soon be reunited with Percy's descendants.
Percy Fisher was born in Rathbarry, Ireland on August 23, 1891, the second oldest of 8 children, five of whom served during the First World War. Percy's father George served in the Coast Guard and the family was likely based in Ireland for some time before returning to England in the early 1900's and settling in Eastbourne.
Percy emigrated to Canada in 1911 and appeared in the censuses conducted in England and Canada that year. On the night of April 2nd Percy was living with his mother at her home at 20 Sidley Road in Eastbourne and employed as a Footman. On April 13th he boarded a ship in Liverpool bound for St. John's, New Brunswick and arrived in Canada ten days later. On June 1st, the night of the Canadian census, he was recorded as a farm labourer living in the Ontario town of Goderich.
Percy left the farm for the Western Canada Flour Mills Company where he worked as a miller. At some point he was taken on by the Maple Leaf Flour Mill in Port Colborne and it was here that he enlisted with the 86th Machine Gun Battalion on Aug. 20, 1915. Percy arrived in England in May 1916 and proceeded overseas in September of that year where he joined the Eaton's Motor Machine Gun Battery, one of five batteries that made up the 1st Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade. Percy was transferred to the Yukon Motor Machine Gun Battery in March 1917 and saw action at Vimy, Fresnoy and Passchendaele.
On March 21, 1918 the German's launched their last major offensive of the war. At 7pm on the evening of the March 22nd the 1st Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade was given orders to stand-to. They were in Verdrel, near Vimy, but were soon on the move to Amiens where they arrived shortly before noon the following day. The Yukon and Eaton Batteries were immediately sent to Roye and then on to Nesle where they were attached to the British 20th (Light) Division. On the morning of the 24th four guns from the Yukon Battery were sent with Lieutenants Vosburgh and Black to protect an artillery brigade northwest of Nesle and it was here that Percy died. His Canadian War Graves Register (Circumstances of Casualty) report states:
"Information is available that he was hit in the body by an enemy machine gun bullet, during military operations in the vicinity of Nesle and Breuil, and was last seen in a dying condition."
Report by Lieut. Black
My research has led to a report by Lieutenant Black that may in fact be the "information" referred to above. Black states that on the morning of the 25th they encountered advancing Germans and opened fire "with great effect". He then wrote of the ensuing fire fight:
"Sgt. Blaikie was killed and one of the gun crew shot through the stomach and his gun put out of action. I went to the Sergeant and found he was dead. The other man was dying and told me not to bother with him, as he would not last many minutes. I saw nothing could be done for him, and the situation being critical I left to join the others."
George's May 15, 1918 letter
Was this dying soldier Private Percy Fisher?
Two months later, on May 15, 1918, Percy's older brother George wrote his letter to the editor of the Signal in Goderich. A brief notification of his death appeared in the June 6th edition of the Huron Signal however two weeks later, on June 20th, the paper printed a detailed story that was taken almost word for word from George's letter:
'Some particulars have been received of the death of Pte. Percy Fisher, formerly of Goderich who was so seriously wounded on March 24th that he died on the battlefield. This was in the early days of the great German offensive in France. Pte. Fisher while residing in Goderich was employed by the Western Canada Flour Mills Co. and was a member of Huron Lodge of Oddfellows. From here he went to work in the Maple Leaf flour mill at Port Colborne, and he gave up his position there to enlist in a machine-gun unit at Hamilton in the fall of 1915. Going overseas in the early part of 1916, he landed in France during the summer of that year and fought with two well-known machine gun batteries. He was one of five brothers serving in the war, three in the army and two in the navy. George, the oldest brother, also lived in Goderich for some time, went overseas with the 161st Battalion and is now in France. Percy was the second son and was twenty six years of age. Their father was the late Chief Officer [sic] G. Fisher of the British navy; the mother is living at Eastbourne, Sussex, England.'
At the time George Fisher wrote his letter he was serving with the 47th Battalion. He survived the war but another brother, Ernest Frederick Fisher, who served in the 12th Battalion, The Royal Sussex Regiment died at the Somme on October 21, 1916.
Percy Fisher was first reported "wounded and missing" and then "presumed dead". In 1924 his body was identified and re-buried in the Pargny British Cemetery. He is commemorated on both the Veterans Affairs Canada Canadian Virtual War Memorial and the Eastbourne War Memorial.
Acknowledgments: I would like to thank Tony Adamson and his family, Gordon McWhaw for providing photos of the Memorial Cross, David Yates for researching and sharing the Huron Signal articles and Dwayne Evans from the Town of Goderich for his assistance.

Plays better/worse in second half only, it's useless and unrealistic.
In any case, these are nice suggestions!
I have been reviewing the traits you've proposed Joseppi and most of them involve boosting a particular skill (tackle, shooting, header)…I'm just unsure about doing this instead of simply increasing the skill itself, it's kinda misleading or maybe confusing to make the manager look in two places (trai + skill) to determine how good the player is at tackling/heading/shooting for example.
For example, if my player has Power Shooter and 91 in Shooting, does it mean that in practice he has more than 91? Or that his 91 includes his Power Shooter trait.
What do you (and others as well) think?
Power shot -> could be something like "long distance shots"?
Maybe powershot could be a better chance conversion rate when shooting?
As with all these traits I believe they should be rare, the player should have to play at least 100 games before revealing if they have a good trait.
Keep loads of random traits but the free kick ones etc should be hidden in the players growth?
I'm not sure to be honest how you can do it without making some players too good!
Maybe keep the ones that don't boost stats, keep things more simple.
Your suggestions with Fabio's changes look interesting. Not too sure about FK and PK as these are still linked to stats. Corner kick specialist could be interesting. We do have things that boost stats, but in specific situations like "plays better against weaker teams" or "plays worse in international cups".
At the moment it's just random when each player will get their traits and every one will get one good and one bad if they improve all their steps in their lifetime. I'll keep it simple for now and try to add the ones that are not directly linked to a single skill. If we add more complexity to the match engine in the future we can definitely add more complex traits to go with it.

Rhubarb is an attractive hardy perennial with large leaves and pink, red or greenish leaf stalks that are used as a dessert, often in pies and crumbles. Stems are usually picked in spring, but plants can be covered with pots to produce an early crop of blanched stalks in late winter. The flavour of rhubarb varies in sweetness depending on the age of the stems.
Keep rhubarb free of weeds by covering the ground with a mulch of composted manure, but avoid burying the crown as it will rot. Cover the area above the roots with 100g per sq m (4oz per sq yard) of general purpose fertiliser in March, and water regularly in dry spells to keep it moist and actively growing until autumn.
When the top growth dies back in autumn, remove the dead leaves to expose the crown to frost - this will help break dormancy and ensure a good crop of stalks the following year.
To get an earlier crop, you can force stems. To force stems, cover the crown with a traditional forcing jar, bucket or upturned pot in late winter, ensuring that all light is blocked out. Cover drainage holes in pots with a brick or stones. When stems reach the top of the container, they are ready for harvesting. Forced stems are lighter-coloured and more tender than those grown in the open, and are generally ready three weeks earlier.
Rhubarb needs an open, sunny site with moist, but free-draining soil as it hates being waterlogged in winter. Avoid frost pockets as stems are susceptible to frost.
The two main considerations you should have in mind when preparing the ground for rhubarb are its ultimate size and the length of time it can be expected to occupy the space. It will keep on producing succulent stems for at least 12 years and with regular lifting and dividing – like any other perennial plant – a clump can occupy the same ground almost indefinitely. Don't think you can squeeze a plant into a tight space when realistically the stems and leaves will grow out 60cm from the centre of the plant in every direction.
Prepare the ground by digging in two bucketfuls per square metre/yard of well-rotted manure, then spread out the roots and plant so the tip of the crown is just visible above the soil.
The best time to plant these crowns is from November through to early March, as long as the ground is workable and isn't frozen solid. Alternatively, pot-grown rhubarb can be planted at any time of the year but it will need plenty of watering if you're going to set it into place during a warm summer.
Dig a hole in your prepared site, slightly wider and deeper than the crown. Carefully lower in the young plant and fill in around it with the enriched soil, firming in as you go with the heel of your boot. It's important that no air pockets are left, as they can cause the plants to dry out and make them slower to establish, so feed in the soil meticulously. The tip – or bud – of the crown should be at or just below the final soil level – certainly no deeper than 2.5cm, otherwise it may struggle to break through. On heavier soils, make sure the tip of the crown is (just) poking proud of soil level to prevent water puddling around it, which can lead to rotting. Thoroughly water in new plants to settle the soil around them.
Do not harvest during the first year after planting as this will reduce vigour. Remove a few stems the next year, then up to a third or half from then on, leaving some to keep the plant in active growth. To remove, hold the stalk at the base and ease it out of the ground, aiming to avoid snapping it off. Although rhubarb stems remain palatable and usable through summer, it is best not to over crop the plant and cease pulling by June, or at least only remove a few stalks after then.
In order to keep the plants healthy, rhubarb should be divided every five or six years during winter, when dormant. Each plant can be split into three or four separate crowns with a spade. Make sure each crown has an 'eye', or a large bud that will provide next year's shoots.
Dig out a hole slightly larger than the divided plants and place the crown in the hole with its roots facing downwards. The top of the crown should be 2.5cm (1in) below the soil surface. Mark where the crown has been planted with a cane or stones until new shoots appear above the soil surface in late February or March. [attachment=0]Rhubarb.jpg[/attachment]

The Age of Jihad
Islamic State and the Great War for the Middle East
From the award-winning author of The Rise of Islamic State, the essential story of the Middle East's disintegration
The Age of Jihad charts the turmoil of today's Middle East and the devastating role the West has played in the region from 2001 to the present. Beginning with the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, Cockburn explores the vast geopolitical struggle that is the Sunni–Shia conflict, a clash that shapes the war on terror, western military interventions, the evolution of the insurgency, the civil wars in Yemen, Libya and Syria, the Arab Spring, the fall of regional dictators, and the rise of Islamic State.
As Cockburn shows in arresting detail, Islamic State did not explode into existence in Syria in the wake of the Arab Spring, as conventional wisdom would have it. The organization gestated over several years in occupied Iraq, before growing to the point where it can threaten the stability of the whole region. Cockburn was the first Western journalist to warn of the dangers posed by Islamic State. His originality and breadth of vision make The Age of Jihad the most in-depth analysis of the regional crisis in the Middle East to date.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY OCT 3, 2016
In this sweeping portrait, renowned journalist Cockburn (The Rise of Islamic State) synthesizes the maelstrom of conflicts that have enveloped the Middle East and North Africa since September 11, 2001. The book combines contemporary, on-the-ground dispatches and diaries with incisive retrospective analyses to cover the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war, the Taliban's resurgence, the Arab Spring, the Syrian civil war, and the rise of Islamic State (aka ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh). Cockburn possesses authoritative knowledge of the region's culture, politics, and history, and his perceptive, pessimistic forecasts have regularly been proven correct. His sober, informed, and insightful analyses are unique and invaluable for navigating the complexity of the region in its "age of chaos and war." Cockburn attributes much of the region's turmoil to the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 "the earthquake whose aftershocks we still feel" which forms the book's core. He reveals glaring gaps between Western government and media discourse and the reality on the ground; the ignorance, arrogance, and ineptitude of Western powers are common themes. Cockburn's account of the Arab Spring is limited, but he offers a wealth of insight on the rise of Islamic State as well as fascinating tidbits on journalistic practice and risk assessment in conflict zones. This work is likely to be a reference for future scholars.Cockburn's dispatches make for a somber, vivid, and gripping work of eyewitness history.

IG Awards
Jane Tomlinson's Run 4 All Events, The Asda Foundation Family Fun Zone!
Submitted by Chris on Wed, 18/05/2016 - 16:03
This year, as part of the Asda sponsored Family Fun Zone, Imagination Gaming are featuring with Breeze Leeds activities at several of Jane Tomlinson Run 4 All events.
Imagination Gaming will be bringing our unique brand of family tabletop games and activities for everyone to have a go at, including a story writing challenge at each of the following events:
Nottingham 10k - May 15th 2016
Leeds 10k - July 10th 2016
York 10k - August 7th 2016
You can see the full schedule of events at http://www.runforall.com/ , and find out a bit more about the events once they're done below!
Last weekend we set up at the inaugural Nottingham 10K event in the glorious sunshine, we can only hope every event starts like this!
The Asda Foundation Family Fun Zone, featured several activities, all under one big marquee as part of the main event, smack in the city centre. Only yards from the start and finish line the place was bustling with runners, supporters and spectators, all ready to enjoy the festivities.
We took along a variety of modern board and card games suitable for just about every age and taste, with the key being to get all generations playing and having fun together. We also brought along our Rory's Story Cubes themed challenge to appeal to those of an even more creative nature.
Here's a few of the games that have proved popular so far!
Puzzles galore!
Puzzles are ALWAYS very popular, The Katamino shape builder is one of our favourites, but our only copy of a little known challenge called Colour Magic sent to us as part of last years Imagination Gaming Awards was proving intriguing... and frustratingly addictive too!
Of all the games that were played in Nottingham one stood out for particular reason - Brave Rats....
Brave Rats is a 2-player game with only 16 cards in total. Will your 8 rats beat your opponents?!
We hate stereo-typing, but there was one 'typically reluctant' young man, who was only there because he 'had' to be and was 'dragged' along by his family! Not unusual, but seeing his Mum's exasperation we managed to convince him to sit down and give something a go... I'm afraid we do that!
What followed was complete, unadulterated concentration on his part, even laughing his head off every time I beat him at Brave Rats... but that didn't last long. He quickly realised it wasn't as simple as it looked and that to succeed it took not only though on what he had to do and strategy, but also to study what I was doing.
When he did that I was doomed, he was elated and his Mum was overjoyed. I think we were still sat playing on the only table left in the square, long after the marquee had disappeared from over-head!
And what about the Story Challenge...
We used one of our favourite games, Rory's story Cubes, to invite a little bit of creative story telling too.
The challenge is to roll 9 dice showing various characters, objects and ideas, to find 9 random things to fit into your tale. The real trick is fitting them in quickly., We only let you use less than 1 side of paper to get your story told, making for hilarious outcomes.
We'll be featuring a few of these stories here soon, and look forward to what we get at the next events!

New Activity for Shakespeare Week Rolling Out!
We have a fantastic new activity and competition, designed specifically to support upcoming Shakespeare Week and creatively engage young readers. 'SHAKEspeare Stories' gives players an opportunity to choose a creatively abridged plot-line from one of his famous tales of their choice, and recreate the story with characters and a setting randomly generated by 'shaking the story', with a new range of the worldwide phenomenon that is Rory's Story Cubes.
'SHAKEspeare Stories' with Imagination Gaming
Before Christmas we were approached by Sheffield Libraries to see if we had any activities to help support and promote Shakespeare Week 2016. We replied with a resounding - 'ERM?!...' !
I must confess this was a new one on me, even with everything we have done in schools for years and a son of school age myself, it was something I hadn't come across before, but it's a big thing. Shakespeare Week is a national, annual celebration that aims to give primary school children a fun, engaging and inspirational first encounter with the man and his work. Thousands of schools, families and organisations took part last year and the number contnues to grow.
In 2016 it's the 400 year celebration!
Back to the conversation with Sheffield Libraries - I think it went, 'Sure, no problem, give us a couple of days... we'll get back to you ASAP!' If you know us, you'll know we love a challenge, usually us giving them to you. We do pride ourselves on coming up with fresh ideas though, and this was, well, an opportunity shall we say.
It's relatively easy to come up with ideas that contain the relevant content, but making it appealing, accesible and understandable to the your audience, that's the crucial bit. If an activity doesn't hit those 3 markers you're going to struggle. The biggest perceived barrier between Shakespeare and todays generations is undoubtedly the language. As I recall there's plenty of mirth and festivities and not an awful lot of L.O.L and smiley face icons!
So we came up with 'SHAKEspeare Stories'
Regardless of the language used, the stories of Shakespeare are rich in plot and timeless. We simply needed to be able to get these across simply so that newcomers to Shakespeare could quickly appreciate them and realise they were still relevant in todays world, and then inspire them with an opportunity to get creative with Shakespeare as the starting point.
So we went back to an old favourite, the mighty Rory's Story Cubes and our previous story challenges. These simple story cubes have taken the world by storm in recent years and are great for developing communication and creativity from a young age. We use them regularly in our literacy games days and workshops in schools and libraries nationwide to great effect.
With 'SHAKEspeare Stories' we have found a fun way of introducing Shakespeare and getting players to write their own stories based on a similar theme. We provide participants with a menu of extremely abridged versions of his more famous works, just 2 or 3 sentences that get the essence of the story across and no more. This enables players to quickly recognise the basis of each story and from that they can decide the basic arc of their tale. They can then 'SHAKE' the story cubes and introduce random elements to their story, knitting them together however their imagination sees fit.
For example!
Imagine taking the plot-line Romeo and Juliet: A young couple fall in love, their friends and family try to keep them apart but they continue to meet whenever and wherever they can. They manage to escape together but there is a sad ending when something unfortunate happens to both of them.
Players then write their own short version including the content on the dice they rolled, which include characters, animals, objects, emotions and settings. What if Romeo was a lonely tortoise and Juliet is a beautiful fish?!!... and the events and emotions and other characters on the dice they have been given would help form the rest of their very own story.
There are also sets of themed Story Cubes that would be authors can use to give their story a specific feel, such as mythic, enchanted, prehistoric... or even set in space!
In addition, in larger projects, young Shakespearians will be invited to submit their short stories and have them exhibited on Imagination Gaming's website and shared by the libraries, promoting their success and the event itself... and there will be prizes for the judges favourites too!
This is an excellent and easily accessible way for newcomers to Shakespeare, old and young alike, to get creative, have fun, and begin to appreciate the fantastic story-lines at the heart of his work and their timeless appeal... and dig a little deeper.
This will be available as part of Imagination Gaming's popular games workshops, full of exciting card and board games with a cool twist for all ages.This offers a range of inspirational activities for children and families to participate in at a level to suit everyone.
If this or any of our other activities inspire you, contact us here and we'll see how we can help you too!
As part of this year's Shakespeare Week celebrations, we took our specifically created 'SHAKEspeare's Stories' (click to read more) to Kirklees for a week.
Here we worked with the library service to host a series of primary school classes from the area, in the libraries, and challenge them to some themed story writing challenges and a bit of gaming too.
Each half-day session involved splitting one class into 2 groups for a bit of each to learn something new, have a bit of fun... and also a bit of competition!
Word Bits and Snake Oil, just two of the games we did aside from the story writing
By the end of the week we had hundreds of story sheets, all very different and unique, and containg some thrilling ideas and fantastic tales.
Every one of the completed stories is being put into a huge presentation book within each participating library so that the children can bring their friends and families to see there story, as well as it being available to all visitors with an interest.
On top of that we picked a couple of stories out from each class to show here on the website... more notoriety! That and a little prize for the winners of some Rory's Story Cubes sets to keep and continue making crazy stories with.
For once we weren't necessarily looking for the neatest, or the best spelling and punctuation ,(but we still expect them to try of course!) but more a spark of imagination or inspiration that made us take notice. On the day lots of these ideas started very interesting conversations and took us to very strange and intriguing places, but you can only fit so much onto one sheet of A4!
So here's some of our favourites... for lots of different reasons!

Which Games Should You Play This Halloween?
Submitted by Emily_Quinn on Mon, 31/10/2016 - 08:00
It's Halloween! While some of you may be wandering out into the darkness to frighten the living daylights out of your friends and build your sweet collection, there are others that may want a quiet night in with some spookily fun games! What better way to celebrate than having a look at some weird creature, monster-filled, ghostly games that you can play tonight? We hunted high and low and found some great games from a wide age range and ability level. Read on if you dare…
Spooky Stairs
Spooky Stairs (or it's German name, Geistertreppe) is a fun and simple game to test your memory. A family of ghosts live at the top of the stairs, yet a group of brave children think they can make it there and tell the tale. However, it is very likely that they will eventually be consumed by a ghost... and you being the player must remember where your piece is!
There is a cool magnetic piece on the top of these courageous so-and-so's, and another inside the ghost. Your playing piece will disappear and you'll need to remember where it is for the rest of the game! Who will be the winner?
Click here to view Spooky Stairs in our online store.
City of Zombies/Times Square
This game and it's expansion, Times Square, are brilliant maths games with a frightening Zombie theme. A horde of Zombies have attacked and only the quickest mathematicians will survive. Take out each Zombie at a time by using different maths strategies and special items, but beware… the longer you wait, the more Zombies will appear!
Times Square works in a similar way, but really helps you to brush up on your times tables. It won a Bronze Award for Best Maths Game in this year's Imagination Gaming Family and Education Awards! Very popular games in a number of settings, but let's hope we never meet one of the things…
Click here to view City of Zombies and Times Square in our online store.
Monster Maths
Another Maths themed game which allows you to build a monster! Aimed at the younger ones, Monster Maths encourages ways of making 10, 20, 50 and 100 and by adding different amounts. The first player to build their monster from top to toe is the winner! Although, if you do win, should we be worried about your monster creating ability?!
A great little card game from Mathstraks, who seem to love a game involving magical, 'mathical' creatures! Do you have a favourite?
StoryCubes: Scooby Doo
Yes you heard correctly! The new addition to the StoryCubes collection is indeed Scooby Doo; just in time for Halloween. Roll the set of dice and create your own mystery. What crime will you solve? What monstrous creature is involved? You decide.
We can't promise you a fancy Mystery Machine to go with it, but we can promise that your imagination will run wild creating your own spooky tale! How will yours end?
Keep your eyes peeled for more information...
Do you have a favourite game to play at Halloween that we've not mentioned? Or perhaps you've had a great experience with one of our games mentioned? Let us know!

Liberal Celebrities Already Trying Influence The 2018 Midterms
It doesn't seem to matter how much money or fame they get, liberals in Hollywood all want to be political activists. It's like this is the only thing that gives their lives any meaning. They just can't help it.
Celebrities dive into midterms, hoping to thwart Trump
Many Hollywood celebrities, appalled by President Trump, are ready to dive into the midterm elections. But there's also a sense of caution, and in some cases retreat, after their enormous support failed to push Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over the finish line in 2016.
Sunday marked 100 days until Election Day, and at least one expert on the entertainment industry and politics says the next three months could see an explosion of celebrity involvement.
"I would not be surprised that, given this more highly politicized environment of Hollywood and the frustration of many celebrities of the outcome of the 2016 election, that they would see this as an opportunity to push forward the change they want into the midterm elections," says Kathryn Cramer Brownell, an associate professor of history at Purdue University.
"Given the experience of the 2016 election, and just in general the changes in Hollywood and #MeToo America, you see more people thinking about, 'OK, how can I get involved in these issues?'" adds Brownell, the author of "Showbiz Politics: Hollywood in American Political Life."
Their involvement in the 2016 election didn't work out too well for Hillary, did it?

Gaza power plant
Report: Hamas wants fuel, commodities only via Egypt
Hamas officials in Gaza instruct gas station owners to stop selling petrol, diesel fuel to encourage protests against Egyptian government, to pressure Cairo to be sole supplier to Gaza instead of Israel
Elior Levy |Published: 03.24.12 , 13:56
Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip have instructed gas station owners to stop selling petrol and diesel fuel in order to enrage the local Palestinians and encourage them to riot against the Egyptian government. The terror organization wishes to pressure Egypt to supply Gaza with fuel without preconditions, reported Egypt's Al-Ahram newspaper on Saturday.
Hamas officials, such as Mahmoud Askoul, Palestinian Authority's Secretary General, and Yossef Raska, advisor to Hamas Prime Minister in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh, have publically criticized Egypt for besieging the Gaza Strip and intentionally preventing the transfer of fuel and diesel oil, in order to bring Hamas' leadership to its knees.
Israel to transfer diesel fuel to Gaza
Energy crisis in Gaza Strip deepens
Hamas heads at odds over deal with Fatah
Gaza officials added that "the same Hamas government officials, who control the Strip, have decided to take advantage of Egypt's current situation and its failure to implement the Palestinian reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas, in order to base the division between Gaza and West Bank once and for all, and to push Israel to close all the crossings between the West Bank and the Strip, including Erez, Sufa, Karni and Kerem Shalom."

Sources stated that Hamas' long-term goal is to solely relay on fuel and commodities from Egypt. The same sources claimed Egypt recently informed Hamas' leaders and the Palestinian Energy Authority that Israel has denied any intent to hinder its fuel supply to Gaza. The Egyptians have made it clear that any fuel shipments will only pass though Israel's crossings, but Hamas insists on receiving their supplies only through Rafah crossing.
Egyptian officials have tried time and time again to convince the Hamas government that Israel is obligated by international law to supply Gaza with fuel, but the terror group keeps insisting on dismissing Israel from such commitments.
Some 450,000 liters of diesel fuel was transferred on Friday from Israel to Gaza. The fuel which was purchased from Dor Alon and which is designated for Gaza's private sector was ordered by private companies in Gaza.
Palestinian sources noted that for the first time the Palestinian Authority would pay for the fuel supply, following a decision made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The fuel infusion would allow the Gaza power plant to operate at full capacity for the first time in over a month.

Major obstacles persist in nuclear deal
Indian officials say "big problems" remain on scope of cooperation and termination conditions, with the U.S., inter alia, demanding inclusion of a "right of return" clause in the 123 agreement. India feels the officials doing the technical negotiations have gone as far as they can and that now is the time to give the process a political push.
New Delhi: Despite four days of talks in Cape Town last week, India and the United States have failed to narrow their differences on the conditions under which bilateral civilian nuclear cooperation can take place.
Indian officials say that while progress was made on the "principles of cooperation," "big problems" persist on the scope of cooperation and termination conditions. "Quite frankly, there are areas where we have not even reached agreement on what to agree about," a senior official told The Hindu .
In particular, seven issues are proving intractable in the negotiations over the crucial bilateral agreement — the 123 agreement — which will govern the transfer of nuclear equipment and material from the U.S. The official perception here is that the technical experts have gone as far as their pay grade will allow and that a political push to the process is needed. This is what Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon will try to do when he meets U.S. Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns in Washington, D.C. on April 30, the officials say.
Heading the list of obstacles is the U.S. insistence on including a "right of return" clause for anything sold under the agreement. Though there is no direct reference to the possibility of an Indian nuclear test, the U.S. draft states cooperation will cease if either country feels a situation has arisen which jeopardises its supreme national interest. In such a situation, there will be a period of consultation between the two sides, followed by the termination of ongoing cooperation. Finally, India will be required to return imported equipment and material — including its nuclear fuel stockpile.
This formulation is unacceptable, say the officials, because it violates the lifetime fuel supply assurances given by the U.S. and because it will convert India's "political commitment" to abide by its test moratorium into an obligation with legal consequences. India favours a more narrowly construed, prospective termination clause linked to any violation of the 123 agreement.
Other obstacles
Apart from the right of return, the major obstacles are (1) lifetime fuel guarantees for Indian civilian reactors in return for perpetuity safeguards; (2) the U.S. insistence on "fallback" bilateral safeguards in addition to IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) safeguards; (3) the U.S. refusal to allow India to import components and technology for safeguarded reprocessing and enrichment activity; (4) the U.S. refusal to allow reprocessing of spent fuel; (5) the sequencing of the 123 negotiations and India's IAEA safeguards agreement; and (6) the timing and nature of the Nuclear Suppliers Group's decision to amend its guidelines to allow commerce with India.
"Real negotiations"
Despite the gulf separating the two sides, the Indian officials deny that the agreement is on the verge of collapsing. These are real negotiations, said one official, and India was going to play tough on the fine print. "We will not be hustled into giving up our positions just because the U.S. is putting out stories that there will be a breakdown."

Tory MP David Burrowes accuses David Lammy of 'playing the race card' in equal marriage debate
Ahead of last night's vote on the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, former Labour minister David Lammy was accused of "playing the race card" by staunch equal marriage critic David Burrowes.
It was after the Labour MP for Tottenham, compared the fight for equal marriage to the battle to end slavery in yesterday's third reading debate.
Denouncing Tory critics of marriage equality, Mr Lammy invoked the abolition of slavery. He said: "They know that this House was split for 20 years on the issue of whether black human beings were human or chattel.
"There were Christians in this House who sought to suggest that black human beings were chattel, and that somehow it was a matter of conscience and we should not end the slave trade."
David Burrowes, the Tory MP for Enfield-Southgate hit back: "There have been comments that have gone beyond tolerance."
He accused Mr Lammy of "equating" the position of Christian MPs and others who are against equal marriage with parliamentarians who defended the slave trade some 200 years ago.
"By playing the race card and accusing the bill's opponents of being in step with the racists and traffickers of years gone by, he is offending not just me — that does not matter — but the majority of the black and minority ethnic communities who are opposed to the bill."
Mr Lammy responded that he was "greatly saddened" that Mr Burrowes had accused him of "playing the race card".
Mr Burrowes, who was among 128 Tory MPs to vote against the third reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, denied the claims.
The bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons yesterday with a Commons majority of 205.
