We are 2 days into 2015 and I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. I do apologize for this but its been a busy couple of weeks with work and visiting lots of family, and this is the first time I've been able to sit down for an extended time at my laptop.
I hope everyone's New Year was amazing 🙂 I spent mine with the other half and friends in the local pub until about 11pm then went home and put some buffet nibbles in the oven to ring in the bells with food and prosecco. Lovely way to spend the new year with the bf.
I wanted to write this blog post to tell people about my 2015 plans.
1. To blog more frequently and tweak my blog as my head's been buzzing with ideas lately.
3. To move into our 1st home.
4. To still go away and already I have a holiday lined up and another one in the works.


Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif is again trending on Social media, thanks to his Twitter posts.
Kaif, who was a crucial part of the 2002 NatWest Series final, Wednesday revealed that he was called a bus driver by former England captain Nasser Hussain in the final match of the series.
While holding a question and answer session on his Twitter account with his fans, Kaif broke the news.
A fan had asked Kaif to recall a memory about sledging by English players during the final in 2002.
"@MohammadKaif Hi kaif, what you and Yuvi were talking during Natwest Final ? Was their any sledging from English players ?#AskKaif", the fan had asked.
In reply, Kaif wrote a yes, adding that Hussain actually called him a bus driver.
In that match, England posted a huge total of 325/5, with Marcus Trescothick and then captain Nasser Hussain slamming a century each.
But, the Lord's final is best remembered for Kaif's match-winning 121-run partnership with Yuvraj Singh that helped India pull off a record 326-run chase after being reduced to 146 for 5 at one stage.
Kaif played superb knock to remain unbeaten at 87 runs of 75 ball and walked away with the Man-of-the-Match award.

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
Literature , Review , Science Fiction / 02/05/2022
Pile by the Bed reviews The Candy House, Jennifer Egan's companion novel to her Pulitzer Prize winner A Visit from the Goon Squad.
Top 5 – 2017
Literature , Top Fives / 27/12/2017
So many great books this year (see also Top 5 Crime, Science Fiction and Fantasy). This is an all Australian Top 5 fiction for 2017 (in no particular order and with four international honourable mentions). Jock Serong's On The Java Ridge moved away from crime and created a humanist thriller out of Australia's border protection policies. Michael Sala's The Restorer centred on a family trying to put a violent past behind them in 1980s Newcastle. Mark Brandi's debut, Wimmera, was a timely exploration of child sexual abuse and its impacts. In City of Crows, Chris Womersley explored the power of belief in seventeenth century Paris. Another great debut, Tony Jones created Australia's very won Day of the Jackal in The Twentieth Man. Honourable (international) mentions: House of Names by Colm Toibin was a retelling of Greek myth. Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan, a historical novel set in the New York shipbuilding yards in World War II. Spoils by Brian van Reet…
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan
Historical , Recommended , Review / 22/11/2017
Jennifer Egan is best known for her creative, experimental Pulitzer Prize winning novel A Visit From the Goon Squad. That book was a series of connected short stories in a range of styles including, famously, a PowerPoint presentation. A historical drama, Manhattan Beach is a long way from Goon Squad stylistically (mostly) but still demonstrates Egan's literary flare to great effect. The book opens in the middle of the Depression, twelve year-old Anna Kerrigan is accompanying her father Eddie on business. He is going to visit a man called Dexter Styles. Eddie is a bagman for the union and his visit to Dexter is an attempt to change his fortunes. Eight years later, it is the middle of World War II, Eddie disappeared without a trace many years before and Anna, living with her mother and disabled sister, is part of a female workforce at the docks building and repairing warships. Dexter Styles, meanwhile, runs a series of nightclubs and gambling dens on behalf of a Chicago mobster. Both are haunted to some extent by Eddie's disappearance. The plot itself is part coming of age, part mystery story, part gangster story. Egan masterfully juggles the various plot elements around the…

It's easy to imagine the exultation of an ISO owner or merchant level salesperson (MLS) upon the successful addition of a large merchant account to his or her portfolio. Whether that large merchant is card-present retail or card-not-present, represents a single store or a chain of hundreds of locations, the elation one must feel having successfully sold that merchant must be wonderful. And let's not forget why. Large merchants can be responsible for substantial increases in residual income to an ISO's or MLS's portfolio, and after all, isn't that the point?
As someone who analyzes, values and facilitates the purchase and sale of such payment properties for a living, I can tell you that large merchants have always been one of the more difficult aspects of a merchant portfolio to evaluate. If you think, from a seller's perspective, that a single large merchant – or two or three of them – would be perceived as a boon to the overall valuation and sale price, you would be correct.
Over the years, most of the sellers whom I have consulted for firmly believe their large merchants merit pride of place in their portfolios. They also feel these merchants could not be viewed otherwise by someone looking to purchase their book or ISO.
It seems perfectly logical for a seller to feel this way. After all, why wouldn't a seller think a buyer of an ISO or portfolio would want to pay big bucks for a large merchant account that will pad the buyer's pockets with a ton of residual income? Well, let me introduce you to the counter-intuitiveness of the large merchant account: a typical portfolio or ISO seller's perception that a big merchant with a big residual must equal a big valuation and payday when sold is false.
What we have here is a paradox: in the sale of a merchant processing ISO or portfolio, a large merchant that generates a large amount of revenue is worth less than a smaller merchant generating less revenue. This naturally leads to the question: How can this be? If a large merchant generates more money, it has to be worth more than a smaller merchant, right? But this is not the case.
The reason a larger merchant is worth less than a smaller merchant in an ISO or portfolio sale is a function of risk to the buyer. It's that simple. We must remember that an ISO or portfolio is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.
The portfolio's historical attrition rate on revenue is running at 12.5 percent per year, so we're going to assume future cash flows are tied to a 12.5 percent per year attrition rate.
The market multiple paid on a merchant portfolio with a 12.5 percent yearly revenue attrition rate is running at 24 times the monthly residual, so the purchase price would be 24 x $70,000, or $1,680,000.
So the calculation of our future cash flows is easy enough. We simply apply a multiplier to the monthly residual, with the multiplier being based on a historical attrition rate of 12.5 percent (in truth, the future cash flows need to be discounted to account for the time value of money, but for our purposes here, this simple calculation will suffice).
But ask yourself this: how reliable, how risky, how predictable are those future cash flows when 14.3 percent of them are tied to one large merchant? What happens if that one large merchant is lost? The answer is the buyer's predicted return on investment is "gone baby gone." It literally creates a financial loss for the buyer that is impossible to recover from.
Therefore, the same multiplier that's applied to the overall portfolio comprised of smaller merchants can't be applied to the large merchant, which means that the large merchant a) receives a lower valuation than the rest of the merchants in the portfolio, and b) can pull down the valuation of the entire book of business.
So it's the risk associated with the loss of a large merchant that devalues that merchant, and in many cases, if the large merchant isn't carved out of the deal, devalues the portfolio or ISO acquisition in its entirety. For sure, there are always work-arounds to address the risk associated with large merchants, but the educated seller should always be cognizant, going into a sale of a portfolio or ISO, that a large merchant, or group of large merchants, can be problematic. It's worthy to note that this issue with large merchants isn't specific to the merchant acquiring industry. It is something M&A professionals have to deal with in every industry, with every type of business. Whenever a large percentage of a business's revenue comes from a single client, there is what we call a "revenue concentration" problem.
So, as a seller, you need to be aware of a revenue concentration issue prior to entering the sales process so you can think of ways to address it before you go to market. And, as an operator of an ongoing concern, you need to find ways to balance out the revenues of your business to help mitigate the potential downside if and when you do eventually decide to sell.

'On the razor's edge' by Stathis Kouvelakis
Following yesterday's commentary on the Eurozone discussions, Stathis Kouvelakis analyses the leaked documents and contemplates what they could mean for the Syriza government and the people that brought it to power.
To use a worn-out cliché, "the times are critical". In fact, they are more than just that: we are at the edge of a crucial temporal sequence. The whole endeavour of a Syriza government will be judged by its reaction to the unprecedented blackmail and ultimatums it is receiving from its tragically misnamed European "partners".
And the news from the frontline is not pleasant. To be sure, it is very difficult to have a clear view of the current status of the negotiations – "negotiations" being a oxymoron given the sheer asymmetry in the balance of forces, and the fact that one side has a gun (the ECB's) pointed at its head. What is clear, however, is that the Greek government has backtracked on crucial aspects, especially concerning its commitments towards the people that brought it into office. Before examining the substance of the request for an extension of the Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement submitted on Wednesday by the Greek government to Brussels, let´s have a closer look at the "Moscovici document" leaked by the Greek government during the Eurogroup meeting last Monday, which it has declared itself willing to sign.
This document[1] rules out "unilateral action", sets primary surpluses of an undefined volume as a budgetary target and recognizes the entirety of the debt. All future adjustments made concerning the restructuring of the debt will have to be in line with the Eurogroup´s decisions in November 2012. Essentially, the implementation of the fundamental measures of Syriza´s Thessaloniki election programme is made subject to the prior approval of the lenders; effectively amounting to the programme´s annulment. Additionally, it recognizes the odious terms of the lending agreements, thereby further weakening the Greek negotiating position on the matter. It is obvious, that by accepting such a framework as a supposedly "honourable compromise", the Syriza government is having its hands tied.
The request for an extension of the "Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement" submitted Wednesday by Yanis Varoufakis, includes all of the above mentioned points and adds to those - for the first time - the recognition of "the supervision under the EU and ECB framework and, in the same spirit, with the International Monetary Fund for the duration of the extended Agreement (point f)"[2]. In other words, the Troika is back but with a different name. The Greek media have already started talking about "the Institutions" (with a capital "I").
But even that is not enough for the EU and Schäuble. Having understood that the Greek side - eager to avoid any rupture and even any unilateral move - is on a constant path of retreat, the "partners" have opted for total surrender as their primary aim. By teaching the Syriza government a lesson, they simultaneously issue a warning to Podemos and any other force in Europe that may attempt to challenge austerity, the memoranda and debt-peonage. The German side has either way rejected the Greek request for the Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement, apparently aiming for further Greek concessions and the full humiliation of the Greek left-wing government.
And herein, maybe, lies hope. It can´t be ruled out that the escalating demands of the EU and the lenders will be rejected by a government that has undertaken some basic commitments to its people. And, more importantly, that they will be rejected by a people that is believing in hope again and taking to the country´s streets and squares. A retreat should not be treated as unavoidable, and the Greek government deserves support to the extent that it is holds firm in the war unleashed against it. Whatever the conclusion, one thing is certain. All the reassuring arguments that have circulated in the past few years - about a European "bluff", about the possibility of overthrowing austerity within the Eurozone framework, of separating lending agreements and memoranda, of solutions in the lines of the 1953 London conference on the German debt (that is, of a favourable restructuring for the borrower agreed by the lender) - in other words the constituent elements of the narrative of the "good Euro", have all collapsed. At some point, we are owed explanations about all this as well.

1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way, St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1, Canada
$CAD 4,00-$CAD 16,000 per year
Brock University was established by the passage of the Brock University Act by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1964.[8]When the university first opened in September 1964, classes were held at the St. Paul Street United Church in downtown St. Catharines for 13 weeks until the Glenridge Campus was completely renovated.[9]Brock's Glenridge campus was officially opened on October 19, 1964 with Gibson as the university's founding president. In 1996 Brock University honoured Gibson by naming the university library in his honour.[7]Richard L. Hearn was appointed the university's inaugural chancellor in 1967.Brock University is named after Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, who commanded the British and Canadian forces during the War of 1812. Although the British and Canadian forces went on to win, Brock lost his life during the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812, fought 20 km (12 mi) from the present-day site of the campus. His last words are said to have been Surgite! (Latin for "push on") — now used as the university's motto. For his contribution to Canada, Brock was voted the 28th Greatest Canadian in a 2004 poll, conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

She was a two-time Boston City League MVP in both soccer and basketball, leading the Tigers to City championships in both sports during her career. Harris started at catcher for O'Bryant softball as well, earning 2012-13 team MVP honors, but could not play this spring due to a knee injury. In the fall, she averaged two goals per game this season, finishing the campaign with 22 goals in total. Harris averaged 7 points and 4 assists per game while emerging as a lockdown defender on the hardwood in the winter. With a weighted GPA of 4.02, Harris was leader in the O'Bryant community. "She is always willing to speak on behalf on the school and has been intrumental in recuriting new students," O'Bryant headmaster Steve Sullivan said. "She truly represents everything I consider the model O'Bryant student." Harris' on-field success came while she partcipated in tthe Student Success program at Brigham and Women's hospital and volunteered at the homeless center Rosie's Place. She also served on the school's Student Athletic Adivsory Committee among several other extra curriculars at O'Bryant.
While Williams led the Tigers on the gridiron and earned team MVP honors after rushing for 16 touchdowns and 842 yards, the senior also was tops on the squad in GPA this season. Williams ranked in the top 15 percent of his graudating class at O'Bryant and he recorded 30 tackles as the football team's middle linebacker, too. His athletic prowess also extended to the track, where he earned a Boston Public Schools sprint medley championship, a City silver medal in 4x 100 relay in outdoor track and city bronze medals in the outdoor 100 meter dash and the indoor 4 x 100 relay during his career. His personal record for the 100-meeter is 11.3 seconds. "He is fully present, he is always a gentleman and always greets a familiar face with a smile," said O'Bryant English Teacher Nora Tsoutsis. Williams used that demeanor to become a leader in the school's Student Government and Arts Science programs while volunteering around the community with his Church's youth group. As part of his volunteering, Williams helped the homeless, participated in food drives and sang with the church's choir at other congregations.
Harty ranked No. 2 in her her class of 318 with a 4.67 GPA while serving as a senior captain for the Panthers' soccer, indoor track and outdoor track teams. She earned 2013 NEC MVP honors this fall while leading Beverly to its first NEC title since 1999 and finished her career with 138 goals and 42 career assists for a total of 180 points. She now holds the school record for all-time goals and points and for goals and points in a single season with 50. Harty's success translated to the track as well as the seven-time NEC track All-Star anchored the indoor 4 x 800 meter relay team that set the school record at 9:28.70. Her 4:14.25 sprint medley placed 7th at nationals. "She leads by example, always wokring to the best of her abilities," said Beverly principal Sean T. Gallagher. "Caitlin has been an influential member of her class and a role model to her peers." Harty is also a National Honor Society Member and President of Fundraising for the organization at Beverly. She frequently volunteers at local foodbanks during her spare time.
Guthro was a three-sport captain this year, leading the Clippers in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was name the Cape Ann League Player of the Year and a Globe All-Scholastic in football this fall after recording 135 tackles, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. In the winter, Guthro was a two-time CAL All-League selection and he was named the Cape Ann's All-League lacrosse goalie leading the team to a 15-1 record with the highest save percentage in the CAL. "His coaches will miss his positive influence, is dedication and his hard work," said Newburyport Student Support Counselor Patricia Blackstock. Guthro accomplished all this on the field while boasting a 3.7 GPA in challenging honors and AP courses. After school, Guthro volunteered as a youth football, basketball and lacrosse coach. Guthro will be continuing his football career at Bryant next season, focusing on the gridiron over basketball and lacrosse.
One of the top quarterbacks in the state, Farely capped off his football career with over 2,000 yards passing and a school-record 22 touchdowns this season en route to a Middlesex League All-Star nod. This winter, he was named the league's Freedom Division MVP in basketball, culminating a stellar career in which he scored 1,249 career-points in basketball and set a school-record by dropping 50 points in one game. "Dedication, commitment, and hard work turned Shane into the most productive basketball players in the history of Burlington High School," Burlington coach Thomas Lyons said. "Shane has been like a coach on the court and in the locker room." As a student, Farely is a member of the National Honor Society and won one of the school's most elite accolades, the Scholarship, Integrity, Leadership and Integrity award. He was a volunteer coach for the Burlington Pop Warner and at multiple summer basketball camps while also serving as a volunteer at the Special Olympics. Still, he managed to excel in the classroom, earning a 3.25 GPA and ranking 86th in his class of 258.
The National Honor Society member is a multi-time Middlesex League All-Star in soccer, basketball and lacrosse, earning league MVP honors for basketball in 2013-14 and for lacrosse in 2012 and 2013. Mara totalled 21 career goals and added seven career assists in soccer, averaged 10 points and 8 steals per game in basketball, and truly excelled with a lacrosse stick in her hands. She scored 218 goals over her three-year career. She was selected to represent Wilmington at the National Girls and Women in Sports Day in Boston this year. "She is an athlete, scholar, active citizen, leader, good sport and consumate team play," Wilmington soccer coach Susan Hendee said. In the classroom, Mara has a GPA of 3.66, good for the top 20 percent of her graduating class of 215, an is a National Honor Society member. She was a board member of the Rotary Interact Club, which serves the Wilmington community by assisting the elderly, organizing a road race and serving meals to families in town.
A two-time All-American and the 2014 Boston Globe Track and Field Athlete of the Year, Bolze athletic career at Hingham can be summed up in two words: record-breaking. He holds 12 Hingham records, a New England record in indoor long jump and the Mass. state record in the 300-meter. Bolze was a three-time New England Champion, three-time Mass. All-State champion and a two-time Globe All-Scholastic Winter Track team selection. Meanwhile, off the field, he was the first chair cellist of Hingham's Chamber and Symphony Orchestra, a National Honor Society member and an Ambassador for the White Ribbon Campaign against Domestic Violence. "Andrew's talents extend in so many directions, no one would blame him if he were a braggart," Hingham english teacher Annmarie Fennelly said, "But the fact that he is such a soft spoke and humble young man makes him all the more appealing as both a leader and a friend." He earned a 3.88 GPA and scored a 2050 on his SAT.
A 2013 Globe All-Scholastic in field hockey after earning 2013 Bay State Conference Carey Division MVP honors, Quirk was also named a US Lacrosse Academic All-American during her decorated high school atheltic career. During her MVP senior field hockey campaign, Quirk scored 23 goals and added 21 assists. In the winter, she spent two years playing ice hockey and one year running for Needham's indoor track team, running the 300 meter, 600 meter and 4x4 relays. Quirk worked for a 4.48 weighted GPA in the classroom and peer-tutored younger Needham High School students three times a week. She's a member of the school's VIP Program, a service geared toward providing elementary school age students with a high school student role model ti meet once a week, as well. "I believe that Lexi's personality, leadership, motivation and worth ethic helped make the Needham field hockey team as good as it is and she is leaving a huge legacy behind her," Neehdam field hockey coach Stephanie Magni said.
Valedictorian of his class of 335, Blaze was also three-sport athlete at Barnstable. He was named an OCL All-Star in both football and tennis and served as the basketball team captain this year. In tennis, he boasts a 67-4 individual record in first doubles. His tandem helped Barnstable earn a 17-0 regular season record and the top seed in the Division 1 South tournament in which the Red Raiders reached the title match. Playing cornerback, Blaze recorded 37 tackles, had two fumble recoveries, one interception and one fumble return for a touchdown. His 4.72 GPA was tops in his class and he backed it up by scoring a 2300 on his SATs. Outside of Barnstable, Blaze was a reiligous education teacher and lecter at Our Lady of Assumption Parish. "The antithesis of the stereotypical 'jock,' this three-sport captain, president of the class and role model for the youth of our community sends the message that achievement and maximizing your potential should be the norms," said Barnstable pricinpal Patrick Clark.
A Globe All-Scholastic for cross-country and three-time Globe All-Scholastic for indoor track, McNulty will continue her running career at Stanford on a full scholarship. She holds school records in the indoor mile and 2 mile and outdoor 2 mile while boasting a 10:28 personal record for the 2-mile. McNulty led the 2-mile by nearly 22 seconds at the spring All-States. Meanwhile, she ranks in the top 10 percent of her class of 265 with a 3.9 unweighted GPA and is a National Honor Society member. After school, she is president of Bishop Feehan's French Honor Society and STAND, a chapter of the national organization STAND for DAFUR. "You can imagine how many hours and hours that Abby must devote to both training and schoolwork, but then she also has made the time to help others," said Bishop Feehan principal George Milot. McNulty managed to excel in all these aspects while taking two honors and 3 Advanced Placement courses.
Valedictorian of her class with a 4.11 GPA, Rembetsy-Brown earned Wachusset League C co-MVP honors in soccer this fall and was a three-time league All-Star in both indoor and outdoor track. She scored 12 goals her sophomore year and, after tearing her ACL her junior year, returned to the soccer field to score 18 goals her senior season. On the indoor track, Rembetsy-Brown qualified for States and All-States in 8th, 10th and 12th grade, totalling 130 career points. During her outdoor track career, she qualified for States and All-States her freshman year and States for her sophomore and junior year efforts. Off the field, Rembetsy-Brown was an MIAA Student Ambassador and National Honor Society member. "She has demonstrated a unique ability to make a commitment to an organization, be it athletics or co-curricula, and manage her time wisely to fully honor that committment and be successful in the classroom," said Oakmont Pricinipal David Uminski.
A multi-time Catholic Central League All-Star in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track, Seymour put together a decorated high school career in which he captured five different championships. Seymour qualified for numerous All-State championships and boasts a 5K personal record of 16:48.90. He also ranked second in his class of 86 and was a three-time class president. He was president of the school's National Honor Society chapter while volunteering in Marlboro Public Schools Special Education summer programs as well. "I have been teaching for 41 years, and I am hard pressed to hink of another student who has shown more maturity, sensitivity and awareness of the wider world," said Gerard Herlihy, Chair of the Marian English Department. "He not only is aware of larger problems in the world, but is already engaged in dealing with them." As president of the NHS, Seymour led a large initiative to raise money for Food for the Poor this spring through various fundraisers.

Liao Na, the Vice President of Shanghai Ganglian Energy & Chemical Information Technology Co.,Ltd. (GL INFO) was invited to attend the "2018 China Private-owned Gas Station Development Conference" on July 20th, held in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Ms. Liao delivered a keynote speech on "The Impact of China Oil Market Changes on Gas Stations". The conference also included discussions on operation management of ethanol gasoline market hosted by the Yantai Ceis Business Information Co.,Ltd. (CEIS).
2018 is an important year for China's energy market reform. With the launch of the "Opinions of Central Committee of CPC and State Council on advancing the pricing mechanism reform", and the issuance of "The implementation plan for expanding the biofuel ethanol production and promoting the ethanol gasoline for vehicle use", the private-owned gas stations are facing a dual challenge from ethanol gasoline sales and gasoil/gasoline retail market liberation.
What is the impact of the pricing mechanism reform to the market? The 2018 retailing margin has been severely suppressed after the introduction of the new policy on consumption tax. How can private-owned gas station survive in the future? Should owners of private gas stations adjust strategies to enhance competitiveness or sell the assets at the right timing? All of the above are also the general concerns expressed by the conference attendees.
Starting with elaborations of three major trends, Ms. Liao expressed her views in the keynote speech on how private-owned gas stations should react to changing market environment with both opportunities and challenges.
With the gradual market liberation, the competitiveness will no longer lie in sales channels and networks but in the effectiveness per gas station and margin per liter. How can private-owned gas stations find out their own advantages? Going digital to understand changes in consumption needs and behaviors is the unneglectable.
Against the eco-friendly trend, requirements for environmental protection will become more stringent and the compliance costs will become inevitable. What's more, Beijing's fiscal measures have oil products suppliers compelled to implement the oil quality upgrades, such as taxation, resulting in increased procurement cost for gas stations. Enterprises are considering how to cope with the challenges brought by the internalization of the environmental cost and optimize the business model so as to secure margin.
Thanks to the financializing tendency, enterprises can actively utilize financial channels and maintain a balanced financial portfolio. In the future, the improvement of competitiveness will no longer be achieved by buying resources at low prices to compete in the price war. Probably enterprises will tend to using financial tools to lock in profits and maximize them. We suggest enterprises shift its battlefield from 1.0 era to the 2.0 era by incorporating financial tools and IOT.
Last but not least, Ms. Liao emphasized another non-negligible trend: the current digitalized platform economy. Enterprises can enhance competitiveness effectively by adopting ideas about internet.

This $2 Billion EV Opportunity Is About to Start Paying Off | The Motley Fool
Icahn gets two directors appointed to auto machinery firm Dana. Here's what may be ahead for investors
Home/Sports/With Homers and Accusations, Lindor Gives Subway Series a Big Finish
With Homers and Accusations, Lindor Gives Subway Series a Big Finish
Three home runs by Francisco Lindor of the Mets, including a go-ahead shot in the eighth inning, would seem to be enough to qualify as a memorable Subway Series game.
But all anyone was talking about afterward was whistling.
As Lindor circled the bases after his second home run in the sixth inning, he made a whistling gesture as an allusion to accusations that the Yankees had been whistling in the dugout on Saturday to signal what pitches the Mets were throwing.
"I can't accuse them of them whistling for the signs because I'm not 100 percent," Lindor told reporters after the game. "But I know what I heard, and I felt like there was something out of the ordinary going on."
Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees tied the game at 6-6 with a homer of his own in the seventh. As he rounded second, he came nearly to a stop and jawed at Lindor, who was playing shortstop. This time, both benches cleared and even the relief corps came dutifully out of the bullpen. There was plenty of milling around and words were exchanged, but matters didn't escalate to a full-scale brawl.
After the game, Stanton said he was prompted to say something by Lindor's own vocal home run trot.
As to the accusations of pitch-tipping, Yankee Manager Aaron Boone said: "The last couple nights, we've just been loud over there. Not doing anything."
Of Sunday night's fracas, he said, "Boys will boys, and that's about it."
Mets Manager Luis Rojas wanted no part of the discussion. "I'm not going to talk about the events that unfolded," he said.
The last laugh went to the Mets, though, when Lindor hit his third homer of the night in the eighth inning. That gave his team a 7-6 win and a two-of-three series victory over the Yankees.
It was the first three-homer game for Lindor, who has struggled at the plate this year, and it made him the first player to accomplish the feat in a Subway Series game.
New York fans are sometimes known for prizing players who show passion — even to the point of contention — more than those who simply perform well. Lindor, who arrived in a trade in the off-season, was asked if the contretemps with the rival Yankees had made him a true New Yorker, but he doesn't believe he's reached that status.
"I don't have the accent yet," he said with a smile.
Lindor's fieriness, though, might go some way toward reassuring Mets fans who were aggrieved by several players offering thumb's down gestures to their own fans earlier this month after being booed.
The weekend's games were especially charged because the Yankees remain in the thick of the wild-card race with the Red Sox and Blue Jays, and the Mets are hanging around the outskirts of the National League playoff picture as well. The drama was amplified because the series coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The teams had symbolically taken the field together on Saturday. By Sunday it was business as usual between the rivals.

Q: Parsing XML DOM in VBA Excel - Parents and Children I would like to extract from this xml file a list of "serialnum" for all tracks, along with the "category" of each serialnum's parent compactdisc. I.e.
00001   Type A
00002   Type A
...
00007   Type B
00008   Type B

I figured out how to extract a list of serial nums, but how do I extract the associated category from a few levels "up" the XML chain? I am comfortable re-sizing the array, but I left it at length 100 for simplicity. I am also comfortable with multidimensional arrays, so perhaps I could write a 2D array containing "Serialnum" in the first column and "Category" in the second column? I'm comfortable writing a loop (or loop in a loop) to iterate through that scenario, but how do I call for the "category" value per each Serialnum? Thank you.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<compactdiscs>
  <compactdisc category="Type A">
    <artist type="individual">Frank Sinatra</artist>
    <title numberoftracks="4">In The Wee Small Hours</title>
   <tracks>
      <track serialnum="00001">In The Wee Small Hours</track>
      <track serialnum="00002">Mood Indigo</track>
      <track serialnum="00003">Glad To Be Unhappy</track>
      <track serialnum="00004">I Get Along Without You Very Well</track>
   </tracks>
    <price>$12.99</price>
  </compactdisc>
  <compactdisc category="Type B">
    <artist type="band">The Offspring</artist>
    <title numberoftracks="5">Americana</title>
   <tracks>
      <track serialnum="00005">Welcome</track>
      <track serialnum="00006">Have You Ever</track>
      <track serialnum="00007">Staring At The Sun</track>
      <track serialnum="00008">Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)</track>
   </tracks>
    <price>$12.99</price>
  </compactdisc>
</compactdiscs>

VBA (Excel). This code just extracts a list of Serialnum's, without "Category" data, but I want to add "Category" data.

A: I answered my own question. The solution is to use the .ParentNode syntax combined with the .getAttribute("XXXXXX") syntax. Note that I also changed the "select node" syntax so that instead of selecting the attribute initially, I select the element and then use the "getattribute("XXXXXX") syntax. See working code below.

Star Trek Voyager is a very feminist show. A lot of television in the 90′s took feminism for granted, and Voyager is no exception. I think in part this stems from having so many great women characters.
The second season of Voyager is considered by many fans to be the weakest, and I'm not sure if I agree. But even if that's true, I did notice that there was a strong theme of Reproductive Justice underscoring a few of the episodes.
Janeway acknowledges that some members of her crew may have children. But again she's not going to encourage this or discourage it. She doesn't think this is any of her business.
Kes considers whether or not to have a child and concludes that just because she can, doesn't mean that she should.
At the end of the episode we find out that Ensign Wildman is pregnant. She and her husband were trying to conceive before Voyager left the Alpha Quadrant and she has just confirmed it now. They've been lost in space for months, but the show glosses over this. Perhaps it's because Wildman's husband is Ktarian and that species has a much longer gestation period. Or maybe Ktarian sperm can live a lot longer than human sperm in fallopian tubes waiting for the right egg.
WILDMAN: I know this isn't the best place to have a baby, but it's all I have left of my husband.
At first I wondered why they didn't seem happier about it. But their serious tone is fitting. Being lost in a hostile area of space 70 light years away from family and a support network is not the best place to have a baby. Gushing and squeeing would not have been appropriate. The show takes this very seriously. Wildman's baby is wanted and yet arriving under less than ideal circumstances.
KES: Don't forget to breathe, Samantha. Deep regular breaths. That's it.
EMH: Cervical dilation is at ten point two centimeters. Prostaglandin levels are normal. Push, Ensign.
WILDMAN: You push, damn it! I'm sick of pushing!
EMH: I know you're fatigued. Try to focus on your breathing. Remember the exercises we did. When you feel a contraction, bear down.
WILDMAN: A pain in my abdomen. It's different. Sharp. Oh, God!
EMH: The baby has shifted position, and its exo-cranial ridges have lodged in the uterine wall. This is a rare complication, but it's been known to happen in human Ktarian pregnancies.
EMH: No. Its spinal column is too fragile. I don't want to risk nerve damage. If we don't deliver the baby now, its ridges could perforate the uterus and cause internal bleeding. Kes, prepare for a foetal transport.
EMH: I've locked onto the baby's coordinates. We're ready to begin. Initiating umbilical separation. Energizing.
EMH: Congratulations, Ensign. It's a girl.
EMH: The transport caused a slight hemocythemic imbalance, but we'll stabilise her cell membranes with osmotic pressure therapy.
Although there was a risk to the baby (she born with something like decompression sickness) the Doctor and Kes did not think twice about saving Wildman's life. She was in danger of dying and they saved her. Immediately. Without question.
When I was a teenager I probably watched this episode at least three or four times, and I never noticed this. But now I know that we live in a climate where for many, saving a pregnant woman's life at any risk to the fetus is taboo. Governments in places like Ireland and El Salvador force women to die on the table for their babies. Religion lauds these tragedies as beatific. Those who dissent are condemned. As recently as 2011, the United States was considering a bill that would free hospitals from any liability if their religious refusal to treat a pregnant woman resulted in her death. But on Voyager, this was never even considered to be an option. Not for a millisecond.
If you guessed that Chakotay decides to go after his son, you win today's prize. Still, despite the tough-to-judge arguments early in the show regarding whether it would be wise to indulge in such an emotional response over a child that was born under such manipulated circumstances, the bottom line is that it is downright foolhardy for Janeway to divert the course of the Voyager into what is the heart of Kazon territory and what may very likely be Seska's latest snare attempt. Just how many times has Seska duped the Voyager crew in the past?
But this is only true if you consider that Janeway's only objective is military success. It's not. She frequently places the heath and welfare of her crew, and the existence of other civilizations above their goal of getting home or winning battles. Even though she's his superior officer, Janeway does not want to stop Chakotay from rescuing his son and having his chance at fatherhood – even though it might put them all at risk. When you include Chakotay's rights as a parent her calculus makes more sense.
It's clear that for Captain Janeway, the reproductive rights of her crew are a priority. One more reason why Star Trek is a utopian vision of the future.
I just wrote a thousand words about reproductive justice in the context of a television season that aired twenty years ago. But I'm also doing something for the cause of reproductive justice today. For the third year, I'm participating in the National Network of Abortion Funds Bowl-a-thon. Abortion funds are local, grassroots groups that work tirelessly to help low-income and disadvantaged people who want an abortion and do not have enough money to pay for it. I'm bowling because I believe that everyone should have access to the abortions they need, regardless of how much money they have. Click to follow the link and find out more.

Progression of Alzheimer-related neuritic plaque pathology in the entorhinal region, perirhinal cortex and hippocampal formation
Deniz M. Yilmazer-Hanke, Joachim Hanke
Extracellular deposits of the β-amyloid protein and intraneuronal neurofibrillary changes are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Neurofibrillary changes in the cell body of neurons are the neurofibrillary tangles, while β-amyloid deposits containing dystrophic neurites with neurofibrillary changes are called neuritic plaques. β-Amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles display a sequential accumulation in the cerebral cortex. In the present study, the topographical distribution of β-amyloid deposits and neuritic plaques in the entorhinal region, perirhinal cortex and hippocampal formation was investigated in relationship to the amyloid and neurofibrillary staging proposed by Braak. The number of subregions displaying β-amyloid deposits and neuritic plaques continuously increases in correlation with the amyloid stage (for β-amyloid deposits r = 0.90, p <0.0001, for neuritic plaques r = 0.74, p <0.0001) and neurofibrillary stage (for β-amyloid deposits r = 0.53, p <0.0001, for neuritic plaques r = 0.68, p <0.0001). Parallel to the advancement in the neurofibrillary stage, early and late predilection sites of β-amyloid deposits and neuritic plaques can be distinguished. The early predilection sites correspond to projection areas of regions which exhibit incipient neurofibrillary tangles. Furthermore, neuritic plaques only occur in the presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the areas investigated. The findings indicate that neuritic plaques gradually develop in the projection areas of tangle-bearing neurons.

Q: In how many ways, can I get ManyToMany field data using Django ORM? Let's assume I have a model named A and B. In model B I have ManyToMany field to model A so in how many ways I can get data from model A using model B:
class A(models.Model):
    name= models.CharField(...)

class B(models.Model):
    a= models.ManyToManyField(A)

A: The two most straightforward ways is by accessing the a manager of the model object of B, so:
model_b_object.a.all()
another way to retrieve the related objects, is by filtering the B model, so:
A.objects.filter(b=model_b_object)
If you defined a through model, for example:
class A(models.Model):
    name= models.CharField(...)

class B(models.Model):
    a= models.ManyToManyField(
        A
        through='C'
    )

class C(models.Model):
    a = models.ForeignKey(A, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    b = models.ForeignKey(B, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
then you can also access this through:
A.models.objects.filter(c__b=model_b_object)
but this only will make the ORM call more complex, and less readable.

A: Also, you can get data from model B using model A as shown below:
for obj in A.objects.all():
    print(obj.b_set.all())

And, the code above also works with Middle model defined between model A and model B and the results are the same:
class A(models.Model):
        name= models.CharField(...)

class B(models.Model):
    a = models.ManyToManyField(A, through="Middle")

class Middle(models.Model):
    a = models.ForeignKey(A, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    b = models.ForeignKey(B, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    class Meta:
        unique_together = (('a', 'b'))

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Nowhere is this truer than in the UK's retail sales numbers reported each month by the ONS.
December's numbers, which were released earlier today, are a case in point. The headlines they have generated is that retail sales slumped in December and that retailers had a terrible festive period.
The headline is important, not least because it affects markets and it partly influences the confidence the public has in the economy — in this case in a negative way.
The trouble with the reporting is that it is, at best, a partial truth and is, at worst, highly misleading.
It is also confusing, especially given that it contradicts numbers out earlier this month from the British Retail Consortium which showed steady sales growth, and the plethora of solid trading updates that retailers have released.
So what really happened to retail sales in December?
Well, they didn't fall. Indeed, an examination of the ONS own detailed figures shows that they increased.
The difference between what occurred and what is being reported arises because the ONS headline figure is one that looks at the change in the amount of stuff we buy compared to the previous month.
That is not a measure of the sales retailers made, it is a measure of the quantity of things they sold – an interesting, but entirely different metric.
The trouble with measuring quantity and looking at it in isolation is that it provides a very poor view of the true state of retail health.
If a retailer sold 10 jumpers at £10 one month and then sold nine at £20 the next month, would it be logical to say that their sales had fallen and that their performance had worsened? Of course not. The same thing holds true for the wider retail economy.
A further complication creeps in because of the ONS's habit of reporting changes on a seasonally adjusted basis.
This is an illogical and totally unnecessary calculation that does nothing but distort reality. How many retailers, or indeed other businesses, release their own sales on some kind of seasonally adjusted basis?
The answer is none. Broadly, they report what they actually sold; they align with reality.
Admittedly, dealing with reality can be messy. Occasions like Easter move about. Some holiday dates shift.
Weather patterns change. And so on and so forth. But that's life; that's what retailers must deal with, and do deal with, on a daily basis. And that's precisely what the fluctuations and movements in their sales reflect.
It is better to accept this messy reality, and to discuss and explain it, than to produce some artificially sanitised version of the numbers.
The more you move away from actual figures, the more difficult explanation and rationalisation becomes. You end up analysing something that didn't happen.
When it comes to national statistics, gathering lots of numbers is important, but not half as important as interpreting and reporting them correctly. Alas, as the former US secretary of state Colin Powell once said: experts often possess more data than judgement.

Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator's daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe. When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia's father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her.
Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia -- a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators' children. It's a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life -- and the empire.

Philip Harold Ross (19 December 1905 – 8 January 1981), was a decorated submarine commander during World War II who reached the rank of Rear Admiral in the United States Navy.

Admiral Philip Ross graduated from the United States Naval Academy with the class of 1927. After receiving his commission he became qualified on submarines, and in 1942 became qualified for command. He became the commander of the USS Halibut (SS-232) upon its commissioning 10 April 1942. His first two war patrols were unsuccessful. However, on his third war patrol he succeeded in sinking 30,280 tons of Japanese shipping and damaged an additional 8,000 tons, and he was awarded the Navy Cross. On his next war patrol, Ross sank 15,100 tons of Japanese shipping and damaged another 15,000 tons, for which he was awarded his second Navy Cross. These successful war patrols were reported in the media as an example of the success American submarines were having against the Japanese, and even gave him the nickname "Deadeye Phil." Ross retired from the U.S. Navy in 1957 after 30 years of service as a Rear Admiral.

The story of a puberty man in two years
In 1986, Patrick Burley from California put the rarest the diagnosis is testotoxicosis. Due to the high level of hormones, sexual the boy matured in only two years! A man who now 34, vaguely recalls that he walked with difficulty and spoke poorly in that time, however, his body, in fact, was already ready for sexual of life. Due to such an unusual state, Patrick's childhood cannot be call happy and carefree.
Testotoxicosis in the boy was hereditary. Through this in his father, uncle, grandfather and even great-grandfather passed his time. All the fault mutation of the LHCGR gene, responsible for the production of testosterone in men. Such a child develops much faster than his peers. is he gets taller and stronger than them, his muscles and bones grow where more rapidly. However, hardly any of these boys are happy similar "advantage".
According to Burley, he was not even three years old when body hair began to grow, like a teenager. On the face of steel acne appeared, and soon the boy's voice broke. But worse all for him were constant trips to the doctors. Patrick is still with with a shudder recalls how doctors examined him weekly, carefully documenting everything. The boy felt miserable freak being experimented on.
By the age of 3, Burley looked at all 8, and the level He had testosterone, like a 15-year-old. Because of the hair on Patrick's body was afraid to visit the pool, go into the locker rooms and general showers: those around looked at him with undisguised distrust. Try to imagine yourself a 7-year-old-looking boy with hairy armpits, legs, and even breasts. Because of this, all my childhood Patrick was constrained by discomfort and shame.
Interestingly, his great-grandfather left 14-year-old for the first world war, easily adding a few years, and grandfather in his 11 ran away from home and worked on cotton fields along with adults, and it never occurred to anyone that it was a child.
This mutation is extremely rare, but almost always inherited. Puberty can try to slow down with medication. As a child Burley ate a handful of pills daily and received injections, but this it hardly helped him.
After leaving school and an unsuccessful attempt to enter the military Academy Patrick's life went into a calm direction. Leaving to study in Ireland, he met there a girl named Meredith and soon married on her. When it came time to think about the children, the man got scared: that if even a son is born to him, doomed to suffer all his childhood? However, despite concerns, in March 2015 the spouses a boy appeared and a genetic test showed that terrible the child does not have a hereditary mutation.


I have a long-time habit of coming late to television shows. Recently, I began watching both BREAKING BAD and DOWNTON ABBEY. I can't imagine two shows more wildly different yet I find them both quite compelling (and sometimes imagine Carson the butler cooking meth in the servants' quarters).
Me enjoying a violent contemporary program and a feel-good period piece might indicate a split personality, but the truth is, I have about as much admiration and respect for the British aristocracy as meth cookers/dealers; neither would make my birthday party list. However, I've grown fond of these characters (although, In the case of DOWNTON ABBEY, I'm much more invested in the servants than the pampered, with the exception of Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess who is a rude delight).
I jumped into DOWNTON ABBEY in season three, and have had no real difficulty easing into the characters' lives and their story lines. While I wouldn't want to spend time with any of the aristocracy, it's not a huge stretch for me to (mostly) root for them or, at least, not wish them any ill will. BREAKING BAD is a whole other premise. I'm watching it from the start (am halfway through season two), and am so glad I went back to the beginning.
The writers do a phenomenal job making me care about those characters. I could easily loathe Walter and Jesse if I hadn't gotten glimpses of their lives before they broke out the beakers and masks. But not only do I not loathe them, I root for them. As in, last night I caught myself being glad for them as I watched sale after street sale of their crystal meth. Whoa.
At the same time, Walt's character is becoming less and less sympathetic (and I'm so glad Skyler is giving him a taste of his own attitude!), but there's no way I'll stop watching. And from the rave reviews, no one else stopped, either. DOWNTON ABBEY, on the other hand, has pissed off plenty of viewers by killing off the second major character of the season and may well slip in the ratings.
What does it all mean? Hell if I know. I'm just filtering everything through my writerly perspective while pondering how to apply these same can't-turn-it-off principles to my own storytelling.

Rotheram, a 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive lineman from North Olmstead (Ohio) in suburban Cleveland, picked the Panthers over Indiana and Purdue. He had 27 scholarship offers, including Arizona, Boston College, Louisiana State, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.
27 Scholarship offers? This is a rare stud lineman pickup for Pitt. Rotheram is rated by Rivals.com as a top 10 offensive guard in the country. Whoa.
In all seriousness, Pitt has had a real problem landing above-average offensive linemen. The school has had success showcasing top-notch offensive talent (i.e. McCoy and Fitz) and has a reputation for a tough-as-nails defense, which has gotten players to the pros. Heck, even special teams players like Andy Lee, Adam Graessle, and Conor Lee have been picked up by teams in recent years - Andy's even had a pretty good career. But the offensive line is where they've struggled a bit (Jeff Otah notwithstanding). Let's hope we can get more down the road.


The evaluation of the vast majority of children with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) and/or myocardial bridges is performed with non-invasive testing. However, a subset of these patients may benefit from invasive testing for risk stratification. All patients included in the Coronary Anomalies Program (CAP) at Texas Children's Hospital who underwent cardiac catheterization were included. Techniques included selective coronary angiograms (SCA), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements with provocative testing using adenosine and/or dobutamine infusions. Out of the 131 patients followed by the CAP between 12/12–4/16, 8 (6%) patients underwent 9 cath investigations at median age 13.1 (2.6–18.7) years and median weight 49.5 (11.4–142.7) kg. Six patients presented with cardiac signs/symptoms. Four patients had myocardial bridges of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, 2 patients had isolated AAOCA, and 2 patients had an anomalous left coronary artery (LCA) with an intramyocardial course of the LAD. SCA was performed in all patients. FFR was positive in 4/6 patients: IVUS showed >70% intraluminal narrowing in 3/5 patients. One patient had hemodynamic instability that reversed with catheter removal from the coronary ostium. Based on the catheterization data obtained, findings were reassuring in three patients, surgery was performed in three patients, and two patients are being medically managed/restricted from competitive sports. In our small cohort of patients, we demonstrated that IVUS and FFR can safely be performed in children and may help to risk stratify some patients with AAOCA and myocardial bridges.
All the listed authors have made a significant contribution in the preparation and review of the manuscript.
