Gotham returns with its second season in September. With a lot of the characters established in the first season along with some minor cliffhangers we were left with, there's the chance for the series to move forward to flesh out the characters and bring in new ones.
Over the weekend, a promo was released focusing on the "Villains Rising." One of the main things you'll see in this promo is the appearance of what might turn out to be Joker.
Cameron Monaghan first appeared in Episode 16, "The Blind Fortune Teller." While it wasn't officially declared within the show that this character was the Joker, it sure looks like they're playing it that way for viewers.
He's not the only villain in the show as Penguin as continued his rise during the first season and now we have the Riddler ready to play a bigger role. At least Jim Gordon can be thankful Michael Chiklis is coming on as Captain Nathaniel Barnes to help turn things around in the GCPD.
Gotham returns on Monday, September 21. Are you going to watch?
that was too much. Not in a good way. So they're just doubling down on the things that are wrong with the show? I know Villains draw a crowd but whats the point if you're just going by numbers without any quality in story?
This show will probably get another season too out of this.
That kid does an awesome joker.
Wow this show is bad.
Well, it's official. Season 2 is just a Joker origin story.
Ooooooh that Joker kid's acting hurts. Maybe the editor of this trailer just isn't doing him justice, but yeeesh that's the worst Cesar Romero impression I've seen in a while.
Should I watch the promo or not... Well at least the rest of my family likes the show. I'm just confused by it.
Think it did a good job of blending a cop drama with Comic storylines. It did enough right that i enjoyed season 1. Not saying it was the greatest show out, but it did enough good (Penguin and the Mob) to overcome the bad (everything about Bruce and Selina).
There's so much wrong with this show.
clearly none of you ever heard the phrase "if you can't say something nice..."
I don't understand the hate for the show. I understand it's flaws, but it's not like Arrow doesn't have it's fair share of problems, and that's super popular on this site.
The show has had consistent twists and turns. The characters are interesting though sadly Gordon is the least developed of them, and that IS a problem. Many villains are well represented. The tone is unique.
I don't get the hate, especially since the most consistent complaint I hear is about continuity, and every comic book adaption every produced has messed with continuity, so why do you care specifically about the changes in this show?
If they are already reaching for Joker then this series was never really going to be about the Gotham police department. I don't understand what it is about Gotham that has been enjoyable for some people.
giff constantine back and stop this show .
Well I for one love this show and can't wait!!!
Being nice on the interwebz?
..... This show gonna ruin the best villian in existence.
No thanks Gotham gave you a season don't think I'll waste anymore time watching another one.
I could care less what the community at comic vine has to say about this show. The ratings clearly disagree with the majority of people here, in fact...I'm pretty sure it received the highest viewer ratings of any comic book show on tv this past year. I don't understand the hate either....but we all have our tastes and there is nothing wrong with that.
Time will tell if it stays popular, but I'm enjoying the ride!
I liked Gordon & the Penguin & I actually really liked how they did Harley Quin being Barbara. The show WORKS if you just tell yourself Ben McCenzie is playing pre-Batman Bruce Wayne, & not Gordon. With the stuff with Kid Bruce stuff being a flashback like in Arrow. Otherwise you learn Batman is beating up on a bunch of old senior-citizen criminals.
If you want to make a proper Batman series, make a batman series proper.
Maybe its the Bat Embargo issue, but I doubt anyone will complain about having a movie batman and a TV batman and not get confused.
They keep using Batman elements everywhere and pretend they are good at making other superhero.
Cameron Monoaghan was probably the only actor who did the character justice in the first season and he did it with only two minutes of screen-time. Something the guy who plays Penguin or the guy who plays Riddler or the chick who plays Catwoman can't do with entire episodes. Although I will admit some of them are trying their hardest to make the bad writing work.
I lost all interest for the show by episode 18 of the first season. I'll probably be skipping this season, but I look forward to watching all of Jerome's scenes on Youtube.
I will never understand how fox cancels some of the shows it does and keeps others going.
Jerome Joker is terrible i can't watch this show.
Joker was the red hood before he become the Joker, not the Joker.
Joker is supposed to be a mystery character, judging by his dark past. I can't believe they're including him that early way before Bruce becomes Batman.
@batwatch: They hate it because they're the same sheep that says anything is awful that differs from the source material, proven by how they all complain about Batman, villain origins, and other things the necessarily are not bad.
@skyroid: Don't worty, Lex Luthor isn't going to be on this show.
The wrong DC show got cancelled.
You know if everyone lets out a sigh whenever an epsiode cuts to the main characters freak of the week plot and the only plot that moves onward is that of the villains infighting, maybe you should consider cutting the cop drama out and just making a show about villains fighting for control of the underworld. Then we could get spared of the supervillain daddies too. In this universe Batman figures out his villains idenities by checking, the relatives of the guys Gordon dealt with over a decade before. Scarecrow, Black Mask, James Gordon Jr., yes all their parents were psychos with similiar obsessions.
@skyroid: Don't worry, Joker isn't going to be on this show.

Listed: From Ronaldo to Richarlison - all the World Cup man of the match awards & how they're decided
James Hunsley
GOAL takes a look at how FIFA decides who receives each game's man of the match, and delves into the players who have won the award.
While choosing the best player from a minimum of 22 is a decision often shrouded in debate, this winter's World Cup has seen a few arguable selections across the first round of group matches. Behind this change could be the tournament's new selection process for the award, which includes the heavy involvement of fans online.
Budweiser's Player of the Match trophy is awarded through a public vote on the FIFA+ website. The window opens between the 60th and 88th minute of each game, in which fans from across the globe can cast their thoughts for each match's star player. Users are limited to one vote per match, and must be of legal age to register in order to be able to participate.
There is no way of policing whether fans are watching the games in question, though, meaning several awards were handed to players that were arguably less deserving. Here is a look at all the man of the match winners across the tournament so far, and what each player did to deserve it.
Enner Valencia (Qatar 0-2 Ecuador)
Valencia announced himself in Qatar in some style. The Fernebahce forward thought he'd put Ecuador in front after just three minutes, only to see VAR chalk off his effort for offside. That didn't seem to deter him, though, cooly slotting home a penalty on 16 minutes before firing home a fine header on the half-hour mark. Despite hobbling off early with knee problems, there could be no complaints about Valencia winning this award, with Ecuador condemning Qatar to becoming the first ever host nation to loose its opening game at the World Cup.
Bukayo Saka (England 6-2 Iran)
Some questions were asked when Saka got the nod ahead of Phil Foden in England's opener, but the Arsenal starlet soon repaid Gareth Southgate's faith. A rifling volley to make it 2-0 was following by a delightful solo effort for England's fourth, with the Three Lions purring against Iran. Despite a whole host of potential candidates for the award, like Valencia there could be few argument's when Saka was given the man of the match trophy, as England cruised to a comfortable 6-2 opening day victory.
Cody Gakpo (Senegal 0-2 Netherlands)
If you hadn't heard of him before, you had after this game. Heading into the dying embers of the match, the Dutch needed a goal against a threatening Senegal side, and Gakpo was on hand to provide it. An inviting cross from Frenkie De Jong was met by the 23-year-old before Eduoard Mendy could get his gloves on it, sending home an unorthodox header to put the Netherlands ahead. A fine goal to cap off a great performance from the youngster, as the Oranje got off to a winning start in Qatar.
Gareth Bale (United States 1-1 Wales)
Now we begin to enter dubious territory. Bale's 82nd-minute penalty - which was Wales' first World Cup goal since 1958 - definitely showed bottle and was vital in snatching a point against an impressive USMNT side, but to consider the 33-year-old the game's best player might be a stretch. Like his side, Bale was outclassed and outshone by the US for large parts of the match in Al Rayyan, although voters on the FIFA+ website didn't appear to feel that way.
Mohammed Alowais (Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia)
Fans were treated to one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history when Saudi Arabia came from behind to beat Argentina in the second half of their group opener. A Lionel Messi penalty had put the favourites in front, before quick-fire strikes from Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari shortly after the break turned the game on its head. In a match where the goals got the headlines, Alowais' performance in the Saudi goal can't be underestimated. The shot-stopper was on hand to produce some fine saves to keep his side in the game when it mattered most, in what was a historic victory for Saudi Arabia.
Aissa Laidouni (Denmark 0-0 Tunisia)
In a game with little to cheer about for either side, picking a man of the match was always going to be difficult. Denmark's Andreas Cornelius ruled himself out of contention after his horrific miss, while Tunisia 'keeper Ayemn Dahmen made a number of important stops in earning his side a draw. The award was eventually given to his teammate and Tunisia midfielder Aissa Laidouni, despite a less than inspiring display.
Pressbox/Getty
Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico 0-0 Poland)
The seventh man of the match of the tournament saw its second goalkeeper being given the award. Guillermo Ochoa is no stranger to an impressive World Cup display, and Mexico's opener against Poland was no different. While the veteran shot-stopper only made two saves across the 90 minutes, one of them in particular was significant. Ochoa denied Robert Lewandowski his first ever World Cup goal from the penalty spot, keeping the scores level and prompting El Tri's official Twitter page to jokingly compare him to Messi and Ronaldo.
Kylian Mbappe (France 4-1 Australia)
France's defence of their world crown didn't get off to the best of starts when Craig Goodwin put Australia ahead after 9 minutes. However, Didier Deschamps side soon showed their quality thanks to an Mbappe-inspired comeback, with the PSG star scoring and assisting in a game that had many contenders for man of the match. Olivier Giroud equalled Thierry Henry's France goalscoring record and Antoine Griezmann impressed pulling the strings, although Mbappe's ability to drown out the noise and shine yet again on the world's biggest stage was worthy of the award.
Luka Modric (Morocco 0-0 Croatia)
A third 'bore draw' of the tournament saw yet another difficult choice for man of the match. Despite coming close with a strike from the edge of the box early in the first half, Modric's performance was far from inspiring elsewhere. The same could be said for the game as a whole, though, with neither side really coming close across 90 minutes. Achraf Hakimi could consider himself unfortunate not to win the award, as his pace caused the Croatian defence a threat all afternoon, who nevertheless dealt with it resolutely.
Shuichi Gonda (Germany 1-2 Japan)
The tournament's second major upset saw Japan come from behind to stun Germany thanks to goals from substitutes Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano. Coach Hajime Moriyasu got his changes just right, but it was a starter he largely had to thank for side grinding out the victory. Goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda made a staggering eight saves in the game, and managed to keep Germany's attack at bay throughout, even if they were misfiring on the day. While Doan and Asano got the headlines, Gonda was the true hero in Doha.
Gavi (Spain 7-0 Costa Rica)
Spain and Gavi announced themselves with a demolition of Costa Rica in their group opener. The 18-year-old opened his World Cup account in some style, hitting a delightful volley in off the post for Spain's fifth of the game. The goal made him Spain's youngest ever World Cup scorer, and the youngest ever in the competition since Pele in 1958. Along with fellow youngster Pedri, Gavi dominated the Costa Rica midfield with his impeccable passing and dribbling ability, leaving either of the two in with a chance of earning the man of the match award.
Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium 1-0 Canada)
Belgium scraped past Canada in their opening match, with star man Kevin De Bruyne largely misfiring and looking a shadow of his Manchester City self. Despite the sub-par performance, the midfielder received the most votes on the FIFA+ website, meaning he was unceremoniously awarded man of the match. None were more surprised than the player himself, though, who argued against receiving the prize and attributed it to his "name" rather than his display on the pitch. De Bruyne was also visibly frustrated in game too, clashing with defender Toby Alderweireld after Belgium scored the opening goal.
Yann Sommer (Switzerland 1-0 Cameroon)
Sommer became the fourth goalkeeper to win the award in the first round of group stage matches, after his heroics helped Switzerland hold out for a narrow victory over Cameroon. The 33-year-old made five saves across the course of the game, as Cameroon threatened on multiple occasions in what was a tight affair in Al Wakrah. The clean sheet secured the three points in an unattractive victory for the Swiss, with Sommer playing a key part in that process.
Federico Valverde (Uruguay 0-0 South Korea)
Make that four goalless draws in 14 opening group stage matches. An uninspiring affair between Uruguay and South Korea didn't produce any goals, but Valverde's moments of individual brilliance suggested Uruguay maybe should have nicked it. His shot from range was well saved by Seung-gyu Kim, although Diego Godin's header that rattled the woodwork was probably Uruguay's best chance of the match. Godin was solid throughout but Valverde's occasional moment of magic made him a worthy man of the match winner.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal 3-2 Ghana)
Playing in his first game since being forcibly removed from Manchester United, Ronaldo was able to drown out the noise and put in a captain's performance against Ghana, scoring in the fifth World Cup of his career and becoming the oldest to score for Portugal at a major tournament. While that was undoubtedly the game's dominant narrative, his man of the match award largely ignores the performance put in by former teammate Bruno Fernandes. The United midfielder assisted both Joao Felix and Rafael Leao in their goals, and can count himself unlucky he didn't win the award.
Richarlison (Brazil 2-0 Serbia)
The last man of the match across the group stage openers was awarded to Richarlison, and few could have many complaints about that. Playing in his first ever World Cup and included in the starting line up despite his recent absence through injury, Richarlison repaid coach Tite with a stunning display in Lusail. The forward's first goal showed striker's instincts, while the second was a moment of magic, flicking the ball up and striking an acrobatic volley to put Brazil in control. Talk about announcing yourself on the big stage.
Mehdi Taremi (Wales 0-2 Iran)
His two goals against England may have been a mere consolation, but Taremi's contributions to Iran's second match against Wales were much more telling. With both sides needing nothing less than three points, the match was an end-to-end affair, and Taremi dominated the offensive side of it. His assist to Ramin Rezaeian for Iran's second killed the game off in the dying embers, after Roozbeh Cheshmi had put them ahead eight minutes into stoppage time.
Famara Diedhiou (Qatar 1-3 Senegal)
Senegal condemned Qatar to their second defeat of the tournament after their attack dazzled in the Al-Thumama Stadium. Diedhiou made it two just after half time and was a menace all afternoon for the hosts, and his dominant offensive display was enough to earn himself man of the match. The trophy could also have been given to strike partner Boulaye Dia, who opened the scoring for the Lions of Teranga, with Ismaile Sarr also impressing on the day.
Frenkie de Jong (Netherlands 1-1 Ecuador)
Despite Cody Gakpo and Enner Valencia getting on the scoresheet for their second successive matches, the man of the match was eventually awarded to Frenkie De Jong. The Barca man was pulling the strings in the middle of the park, completing an impressive 93% pass accuracy against his Ecuadorian opponents. While either Gakpo or Valencia would seem the obvious choice to win their second MOTM of the tournament, the role played by De Jong wasn't underestimated by fans voting on the FIFA+ website.
Christian Pulisic (England 0-0 USA)
There was little excitement at the Al Bayt Stadium when England and USMNT played out a drab 0-0, although the occasional moment of brilliance came from the Americans. Pulisic probably did enough on the night to warrant it, having come close with a rifling shot that hit the crossbar. However, the midfield trio of Yunus Musah, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie were pivotal aspects in Gregg Berhalter's side, meaning it was a surprise not to see one of them handed the award after the 90 minutes.
Mitchell Duke (Tunisia 0-1 Australia)
Scoring your first goal at a World Cup is probably worthy of man of the match, but even more so if it helps give your side their first World Cup victory in over 12 years. That was the case when Australia defeated Tunisia thanks to Duke's glancing header, which he scored in some style. Turning instinctively to re-direct a deflected cross, Duke flicked on a beautiful glancing header into the far corner of Aymen Dahmen's goal. A strike worthy of winning any match, and certainly of winning the man of the match award.
Robert Lewandowski (Poland 2-0 Saudi Arabia)
While Poland may have snatched a victory against a largely dominant Saudi Arabia in the Education City Stadium, few could argue against Lewandowski winning man of the match. Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny would be the only other contender, thanks to his stunning double save to deny Salem Al-Dawsari and Mohammed Al-Burayk from the former's penalty, but scoring your first EVER World Cup goal is worthy of any award. The Barca forward also registered an assist for Piotr Zielinski for Poland's first, in a win that saw his side go top of Group C.
Kylian Mbappe (France 2-1 Denmark)
The first player to win the award twice in Qatar, Mbappe sent the holders through to the next round thanks to a second-half brace against Denmark. His first strike saw the PSG star exchange a smart one-two with Theo Hernandez on the left, while the second was characterised by some instinctive forward movement to get on the end of an inviting Antoine Griezmann cross. Griezmann may feel aggrieved to have missed out again on the individual prize, but a match-winning brace to go joint-top scorer is as fair a reason as any to be crowned man of the match.
Lionel Messi (Argentina 2-0 Mexico)
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. When Argentina needed him most, Messi stepped up to secure a vital victory for his side's chances of last 16 qualification. With just over 60 minutes on the clock and the game heading for another goalless draw, the boy from Rosario rifled a long range screamer into the far corner of Guillermo Ochoa's goal. The PSG star also provided an assist for Argentina's second, although that goal was all about Enzo Fernandez's individual brilliance. A deserved win and a deserved man of the match award in what was a joyous night for the Albiceleste.
Keysher Fuller (Japan 0-1 Costa Rica)
Had Costa Rica not snatched a victory in the 81st minute, this man of the match award could have been very different. As it happened, Fuller's late goal was enough to give his side all three points in what was Costa Rica's first shot on target all tournament. Japan, on the other hand, will be rueing their missed chances, which was thanks in part to the work of Keylor Navas. Having only produced three saves, though, Fuller's goal was arguably enough to warrant his man of the match award, as Costa Rica shocked the world in Ar-Rayyan.
Hakim Ziyech (Belgium 0-2 Morocco)
In a second shock on the same day, Belgium fell to defeat to Morocco in what was a deserving win for the Atlas Lions. Ziyech thought he had got himself on the scoresheet late in the first half, with a quick free-kick that caught out Thibault Courtois in the Belgium goal. While that may have been ruled out for offside on Roman Saiss, the Chelsea man's contributions cannot be discounted, not least for the inspiration his set play provided for Abdelhamid Sabiri's opener. The result blew Group F wide open, which was thanks in part to Ziyech's display.
Andrej Kramaric (Croatia 4-1 Canada)
Croatia had to come from behind to beat Canada after seeing Alphonso Davies score the fastest goal of the tournament so far on 67 seconds. Kramaric thought he had levelled when he netted after being played in by Ivan Perisic but saw his effort ruled out for offside. However, the 31-year-old was not to be denied and bagged a brace to dump Canada out of the tournament and send Croatia top of Group F ahead of the final round of games.
Alvaro Morata (Spain 1-1 Germany)
Alvaro Morata offered another reminder of his talents by making an instant impact after coming off the bench for Spain against Germany. The Atletico Madrid striker needed just eight minutes to break the deadlock after replacing Ferran Torres early in the second half. Morata produced an instinctive finish after a good pass from Dani Olmo to make it 1-0 to La Roja. Morata now has two goals in two games for Spain at World Cup 2022 and is repaying the faith shown in him by coach Luis Enrique.
Vincent Aboubakar (Cameroon 3-3 Serbia)
Vincent Aboubakar was the architect of a fantastic comeback for Cameroon that saw his side earn a vital point in their second game of the competition. The 30-year-old came off the bench shortly after Serbia scored to go 3-1 up in the second half of Monday's clash. The striker needed just eight minutes to make an impact as he sent a wonderful chip into the net to pull one back for his team. Just three minutes later, he helped Cameroon complete the comeback when he sent a perfect pass across to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for a simple finish to make it 3-3.
Mohammed Kudus (Ghana 3-2 South Korea)
Mohammed Kudus proved decisive as Ghana picked up their first win of the competition by beating South Korea. Ten minutes after Mohammed Salisu opened the scoring, the Ajax star got his head onto a well placed diagonal cross from Jordan Ayew and headed beyond Kim Seung-gyu. South Korea fought their way back into the game with two quickfire goals but Kudus made sure Ghana did not collapse as he was there at the back post to meet a low cross from Inaki Williams and slot hom to secure the three points.
Casemiro (Brazil 1-0 Switzerland)
Despite the tournament favourites dominating for large parts of the match and even seeing a Vinicius Junior strike chalked off for offside, Brazil's game against Serbia was entering a stalemate going into the last ten minutes. Enter Casemiro, who linked up beautifully with Real Madrid duo Vinicius and Rodygo before the latter flicked a ball into his path, with the United midfielder crashing a half-volley home into the far corner of Yann Sommer's goal. His strike helped Brazil snatch all three points and become just the second team to secure qualification to the last 16.
@Getty
Bruno Fernandes (Portugal 2-0 Uruguay)
A discrepancy over whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo managed to get the very edge of his quiff onto an exquisite, lofted ball from Fernandes shouldn't detract from the masterful performance that Manchester United's chief creator put in against Uruguay. While Fernandes can often leave a lot to be desire for Portugal, particularly when trying to play with Ronaldo, he ran the show tonight, particularly in helping his nation get over the line in the second half. His cross-turned-goal was put into the perfect area and the run that earned him a penalty was equally as brilliant. Should it have been given? Probably not. Does Bruno care? Not at all. Three points, two brilliant goals and a spot in the knockout stages. Job done.
Davy Klaassen (Qatar 0-2 Netherlands)
Netherlands midfielder Davy Klaassen got the assist for his side's first goal as they beat Qatar in the crucial group stage match. The Ajax man nipped a short pass through to Cody Gakpo before the attacker drove forward and fired in from the edge of the box. Klaassen, 29, linked up well with the attackers around him as the likes of Memphis Depay and Gakpo tried to build on their lead. Klaassen has been effective so far in the tournament, having scored in the 2-0 win against Senegal and also set up his side's only goal as they drew with Ecuador.
Kalidou Koulibaly (Ecuador 1-2 Senegal)
Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly made a vital intervention to ensure his side progressed to the last-16 as they beat Ecuador 2-1 in the final group stage match. Just three minutes after Ecuador scored to make it 1-1, the Chelsea centre-back smashed home from inside the box with a fine finish. The 31-year-old has stood up as his team's leader in the absence of star attacker Sadio Mane.
Marcus Rashford (Wales 0-3 England)
Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford bagged a brace as England swept Wales aside and finished top of Group B with a comfortable victory. Rashford's first goal was a brilliant free-kick and he then followed that up with the team's third goal after Phil Foden had made it 2-0. It was a superb performance from the striker and a memorable one too as he netted England's 100th World Cup goal on a poignant night for Rashford. The England star revealed after the game that he'd dedicated his first goal to a friend he has lost recently.
Christian Pulisic (Iran 0-1 USA)
Captain America Christian Pulisic sent the USMNT into the last 16 of the World Cup with the only goal of the game against Iran. Pulisic had to put his body on the line to break the deadlock and picked up an injury in the process that forced him off at half-time. Indeed the Chelsea forward ended up in hospital for scans on an abdominal injury but his goal was enough to clinch all three points and second place in Group B.
Mathew Leckie (Australia 1-0 Denmark)
Mathew Leckie fired Australia past Denmark and into the last 16 of the World Cup for just the second time in their history with a brilliant effort. The Danes were underdone when Australia launched a quick break and Leckie was sent through on goal by Riley McGree. The forward still had a fair bit to do but made it look easy. Leckie twisted Joakim Mæhle inside out before firing a low shot past a diving Kasper Schmeichel and into the far corner.
Wahbi Khazri (Tunisia 1-0 France)
Tunisia didn't make it through to the last 16 of the World Cup but did sign off with a shock 1-0 win over France and their first goal of the tournament. Wahbi Khazri was the man to deliver the goal and it was certainly one that was worth waiting for. The midfielder picked up possession just outside the centre circle in the French half, steamed forwards, evaded two French players and then had the presence of mind to poke the ball past goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
Luis Chavez (Saudi Arabia 1-2 Mexico)
Mexico beat Saudi Arabia but the win was not enough to seal a place in the last 16. However, the match was lit up by Luis Chavez's incredible free-kick which is a contender for the goal of the tournament award. Chavez curled a superb free-kick from fully 30 yards into the top corner, sparking wild celebrations among the Mexico players and staff. It's only the second free-kick goal of the tournament so far but it will live long in the memory.
Alexis Mac Allister (Poland 0-2 Argentina)
Argentina topped Group C after beating Poland 2-0 thanks to second half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez. Lionel Messi missed a first-half penalty and Argentina were making hard work of it unti Mac Allister struck. The Brighton midfielder swept home a cross by Nahuel Molina to break the deadlock and net his first ever goal for Argentina. It was a crucial moment in the match and allowed Argentina to go on and see the win out comfortably.
Luka Modric (Croatia 0-0 Belgium)
It was far from a memorable encounter in the goalless stalemate between Croatia and Belgium, but Luka Modric was still able to add a stunning level of finesse, as he so often does.
The Real Madrid midfielder went about his work seamlessly, pulling the strings in the middle of the park to keep Belgium at arm's length. Inside the first minute of the game, he was inches away from providing an insatiable outside of the boot assist, but Ivan Perisic fired wide.
From then on, with the objective being to secure a place in the knockout stages, Modric toned it down, drawing on all of his match-winning experience to quietly boss proceedings.
This guy is simply immortal, isn't he? Absolutely dynamite.
Achraf Hakimi (Canada 1-2 Morocco)
Morocco only had qualification for the knockout stages on their mind in matchday three of Group F, so to come away having topped the table at full-time is a welcome bonus.
Not only that, it's a testament to their players' performances. One stood out, though, and that was Hakimi, who was instrumental against Canada. The Paris Saint-Germain wing-back dominated the right flank, bombing forward to deliver scintillating crosses, but also getting back in and retaining shape when his team needed him most.
Ao Tanaka (Japan 2-1 Spain)
Before a ball was kicked at the 2022 World Cup, Group E had been placed into the 'Group of Death' category. That was mainly due to the presence of former champions Spain and Germany, but Japan were never going to merely make up the numbers. They are now into the last-16 as winners of their section, with the impressive scalps of German and Spanish opposition claimed along the way. A stunning, and somewhat controversial, 2-1 victory over La Roja saw them book a place in the knockout stages, with Fortuna Dusseldorf midfielder Tanaka becoming a national hero as he netted what proved to be a match-winning effort six minutes into the second half.
Kai Havertz (Costa Rica 2-4 Germany)
Germany entered a final outing of the group stage knowing that they would need favours from elsewhere in order to prolong their adventure in Qatar. An early goal for Spain, alongside one from Serge Gnabry, suggested that there would be no upsets in Group E. Japan, though, ended up stunning La Roja 2-1, meaning that a 4-2 victory over Costa Rica counted for nothing in Germany's bid to reach the last-16. Chelsea forward Kai Havertz did bag a brace for Die Mannschaft, but he cut a frustrated figure when collecting his Player of the Match award as four-time World Cup winners suffered the ignominy of slipping out at the group stage in back-to-back global gatherings.
Hwang Hee-chan (South Korea 2-1 Portugal)
What a game from South Korea and what a moment for Hwang Hee-chan. Having started the day third of Group H and even momentarily going bottom during the match, Paulo Bentos' side came from behind against Portugal to celebrate a memorable 2-1 victory courtesy of Hwang's 91st minute strike. Korea broke from the corner with Heung-min Son carrying the ball the near-length of the pitch before threading a pass through to the Wolves forward who finished expertly past Diogo Costa. A goal of that magnitude made Hwang a worthy man of the match winner, as South Korea progressed to only their third ever World Cup last-16 match.

Giorgian De Arrascaeta (Ghana 0-2 Uruguay)
Much like Uruguay's result in the Al-Janoub stadium, Giorgian De Arrascaeta's man of the match award will be nothing less than a consolation after the Albiceleste's bitterly disappointing World Cup exit. The Flamengo man started his first match of the tournament amid calls for Diego Alonso to include him, and he soon repaid his manager's faith with a brace in six first-half minutes. The 28-year-old's second was of particular note, a fine finish on the end of a Luis Suarez assist that capped off an impressive team move. Despite De Arrascaeta's goals giving Uruguay a 2-0 win on the day, a late South Korea winner saw them beat Portugal 2-1 and progress to the last 16 on goals scored.
Devis Epassy (Cameroon 1-0 Brazil)
In a game that eventually meant very little for Cameroon's last 16 qualification chances, goalkeeper Devis Epassy produced heroics on a number of occasions to keep his side in the game. Vincent Aboubakar's 92nd-minute winner and ensuing second yellow card for taking off his shirt in celebration will likely get all the attention, but Epassy's role can't be downplayed. The Indomitable Lions' shot stopper was on hand to produce seven saves in total as his side snatched a memorable victory against tournament favourites Brazil. Unfortunately for Cameroon, Serbia couldn't do them a favour against Switzerland in the other match in Group G, meaning they finished third and were eliminated from the tournament.
Granit Xhaka (Serbia 2-3 Switzerland)
The final Group G game between Serbia and Switzerland had it all - well-worked team goals, crunching tackles, off-the-pitch skirmishes. Granit Xhaka couldn't resist getting in on the action himself, constantly winding up opponents and earning himself a yellow card for his troubles. Xhaka formed part of a formidable midfield pairing alongside Remo Freuler - who scored Switzerland's decisive goal - although it was the front men who stole the show in Doha. Xherdan Shaqiri equalled a record held by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo with his opening strike, while the combination of Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandr Mitrovic proved dangerous up top for Serbia. Switzerland were able to quell the threat, though, as they secured last 16 qualification alongside Xhaka, who takes home a questionable man of the match award.
Denzel Dumfries (Netherlands 3-1 USMNT)
The tournament's first last 16 matchup was all about Louis van Gaal's Netherlands clicking into place, and Denzel Dumfries formed a huge part of that. The Inter wing-back was a constant threat and had a hand in all three of the Oranje's goals on the day. Two pinpoint crosses in the first half set up Memphis Depay and Daley Blind, respectively, before Blind returned the favour late on in the second half to set up Dumfries and seal the game at 3-1. A fine team performance saw the Netherlands become the first side through to the quarter-finals, although Dumfries was undoubtedly their star man.
Lionel Messi (Argentina 2-1 Australia)
Lionel Messi played in the 1,000th game of his career against Australia and provided a performance worthy of the occasion. The boy from Rosario scored his first ever World Cup knockout goal as he led the Albiceleste to victory against a resolute Australia side, who could have taken the game to extra-time were it not for goalkeeping heroics from Emi Martinez. The real hero on the night, though, came at the other end of the pitch. Messi's pinpoint passes and mazy runs helped take Argentina to yet another World Cup quarter-final, as the 35-year-old's display earned him his second man of the match award of the tournament.
Kylian Mbappe (France 3-1 Poland)
Kylian Mbappe broke Pele's record (seven) to become the highest-scoring player under the age of 24 at a World Cup, with nine strikes to his name now, as he fired France to victory against Poland. The PSG star netted twice for Les Blues – showing great power and precision with each finish – after Oliver Giroud opened the scoring with a goal that puts him top of the all-time goalscoring charts for France. Mbappe is now leading the race for the Golden Boot at the World Cup with five goals to his name, which is two more than anyone else. Unsurprisingly, he was good value for his man-of-the-match accolade.
Harry Kane (England 3-0 Senegal)
Harry Kane scored his first goal of the 2022 World Cup as England blew Senegal away to advance into the quarter-final stage of the competition. The Tottenham man showed great composure to double the Three Lions' lead when put through on goal by Phil Foden. Jordan Henderson had put England ahead before Bukayo Saka put the cherry on top with a third. Kane's effort now means he is his nation's all-time leading scorer at major tournaments, with 11 goals, one more than Gary Lineker. France await England in the next round.
Dominik Livakovic (Japan 1-1 Croatia (pens 1-3))
Another knockout game for Croatia, another win after extra time. The Croats are no strangers to winning a penalty shoot-out at a major tournament, although goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic was only on the bench for their spot-kick victory over Russia back in 2018. The lack of experience didn't appear to effect the Dinamo Zagreb shot stopper, though, as he proceeded to save three of Japan's four penalties in the shoot-out, denying Takumi Minamino, Kaoru Mitoma and Maya Yoshida before Mario Pasalic scored the decisive kick. While Japan's efforts were far from unstoppable, Livakovic made himself big and got down well to make himself the hero, as Croatia reached their second successive World Cup quarter-final.
Neymar (Brazil 4-1 South Korea)
In the words of Eric Bischoff, he's back and better than ever. It took Neymar just 13 minutes to get himself on the scoresheet in a 4-1 mauling of South Korea, which also marked his return from injury. Neymar looked like he hadn't skipped a beat and danced around the pitch - sometimes quite literally - with all the elegance he could muster up, much to the relief of those sweating about the condition of his ankle. His return was the icing on the cake of a brilliant Brazil performance, and he looked absolutely immense. Neymar isn't messing around - he's ready to own these World Cup knockout stages.
Yassine Bounou (Morocco 0-0 Spain (pens 3-0))
Not all heroes wear capes - some wear gloves and short sleeves. 31-year-old 'Bono' plays his football in the Spanish top flight and sent La Roja packing with an all-time performance between the sticks. His game isn't based around being exceptional in possession of the ball, but what does that matter when you've conceded just once in four World Cup games and saved three penalties in a shootout against the 2010 world champions? Bounou put in an immense display, getting down well in the shootout having done his homework, which followed on from a clean 120 minutes that also deserves its flowers.
Gonçalo Ramos (Portugal 6-1 Switzerland)
First start, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup, with the task of firing your country to a World Cup quarter-final. How's your nerve, kid? Exceptional, it appears. It took Gonçalo Ramos just 17 minutes to find his first goal, unleashing a venomous strike beyond Yann Sommer and into the roof of the net. From that point, an all-time performance felt inevitable. The Benfica starlet was the icing on the cake of a free-flowing Portugal display, adding another two to his haul in the second half to secure a hat-trick on his first Portugal start. Cristiano who?
Dominik Livakovic (Croatia 1-1 Brazil (pens 4-2))
Wow. After picking up the man of the match award for his penalty shoot-out heroics in the round against Japan, Dominik Livakovic did it again. In fact, no, that's not quite fair. Actually, he improved upon his last display. Indeed, not only did he crucially save Rodrygo's penalty for Brazil (before Marquinhos lost his nerve and hit the post), Livakovic also became the first goalkeeper to make 11 saves in a single World Cup match since 2014. What a performance.
Lionel Messi (Netherlands 2-2 Argentina (pens 2-4)
Who else? Even by his own impossibly high standards, Messi came to play against the Netherlands. He lit up the second quarter-final with an absurd no-look pass to help open the scoring, and then showed nerves of steel to roll home a penalty. Louis van Gaal's side hit back, of course, but Messi came through with the goods again in the shootout, converting from 12 yards to put his country through to the final four.
Yassine Bounou (Morocco 1-0 Portugal)
Youssef En-Nesyri was the man who got the decisive goal as Morocco beat Portugal to become the first African side to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. However, goalkeeper Bono was just as vital at the other end of the pitch. Once again he was the safest pair of hands as he kept a fourth clean sheet of the tournament. Bono pulled off three important saves to deny Portugal and ensure his side stayed ahead. He has conceded just one goal in the competition so far and that was an own goal against Canada. Making his 50th appearance for Morocco, became the first African goalkeeper to record three clean sheets in a single edition of the World Cup.
Olivier Giroud (England 1-2 France)
France's all-time top scorer Olivier Giroud popped up at the vital moment in the quarter-final tie against England. Les Bleus had a hard time throughout the second half and struggled to get their forward involved at times, but Giroud was ready when the breakthrough came and got there first to Antoine Griezmann's cross, knocking it beyond Jordan Pickford in what turned out to be the winning goal.
Lionel Messi (Argentina 3-0 Croatia)
All eyes were on the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner heading into Qatar, with the storylines set. Last dance this, Messi vs Ronaldo that, you know the ones. And after opening day defeat to Saudi Arabia where Messi looked as human as ever and Argentina looked anything but a team who had credentials to win the lot, they bounced back tremendously.
As the World Cup progressed, Messi looked more and more menacing and, as such, more and more immortal. The 35-year-old put in another all-time display to dump Croatia out in the semi-final and book his own place in the final. Opening the scoring from the penalty spot, Messi then left Josko Gvardiol for dead before assisting Julian Alvarez for his side's third.
Antoine Griezmann (France 2-0 Morocco)
We need to talk about this Antoine Griezmann resurgence. Another exceptional performance from box to box has helped France to the final of the World Cup. The Atletico Madrid man shot to prominence at Euro 2016 as a ruthless goal getter, but has played the role of chief creator for Didier Deschamps in Qatar, and also added a vital layer of industry to France's midfield as Morocco rallied.
The 31-year-old has always been polarising and his stagnation in recent years has been undeniable. However, another terrific performance in Qatar, this time in the semi-final, has kept the wheels turning on the perfect redemption story. Griezmann is chasing down the Player of the Tournament award.

Josko Gvardiol (Morocco 1-2 Croatia)
The centre-back looked excellent in defence all the way through the tournament as he helped Croatia through to the semi-finals. He stood out more in attack in the third-place playoff, however, as his powerful header saw Croatia take the lead early on against Morocco. Throughout the match he was sound on the ball as he made neat passes and worked hard to win the ball back against the African history makers.
Lionel Messi (Argentina 3-3 France (pens 4-2)
The GOAT debate may be over after Argentina's talismanic captain got his hands on the ultimate prize, which had eluded him for so long. Messi was once again able to deliver when it mattered most for his country, with two goals recorded across 120 minutes of thrilling action against France. One of those efforts came from the spot, with Messi holding his nerve again in a shootout as the Albiceleste prevailed on penalties.
There had been suggestions before the game that Messi was preparing to head off into international retirement, with another Player of the Match award and a history-making second World Cup Golden Ball added to his remarkable roll of honour, but the 35-year-old has vowed to continue "playing as a champion".

"A magyar sportoló a harmadik, a német pedig az ötödik."
Translation:The Hungarian athlete is the third, and the German is the fifth.
"The Hungarian athlete is the third, the German in turn is the fifth" was [I think] incorrectly marked wrong as I purposefully included "in turn" - which is the meaning of "pedig". A little frustrating; as a result I missed testing-out of the section.
I translated 'sportoló" as athlete and it was marked wrong in favor of "sportperson", which is not even a word in English. I translated "pedig" as "whereas" and that was marked correct. It seems this sentence uses athlete in the tranlation, but does not use whereas. I would say the best translation is "The Hungarian athlete is third, whereas the German is fifth."


Concho Resources Inc. and Frontier Midstream Solutions IV, LLC have reportedly announced an agreement for creating Beta Crude Connector, LLC, in which both the companies will own 50% equity interest each, with Frontier acting as operator.
BCC would be building and offering crude oil gathering, storage and transportation services in the Northern Midland Basin, as well as support for continuous oil production growth across the region.
Apparently, the new transportation and gathering system will comprise of an estimated 100-mile gathering system, crude oil storage facilities for 250,000 barrels and terminals for trucks.
BCC's pipeline will have an initial capacity to provide 150,000 barrels per day of crude oil to various delivery points, connecting to various downstream pipelines, and accessing local refineries.

New multi-million pound masterplan unveiled for Weaver Square
A new masterplan was unveiled this week for the Weaver Square area of Northwich, which will create a vibrant new neighbourhood for the town to complement investments made to date in the development of Barons Quay and public realm improvements on Witton Street.
The masterplan sets a vision for bringing new residential development and a public services building to Northwich.
It also features a flexible, multi-use public area that could be used as a community space for live music and cultural events as well as a market and independent traders' area, all which figured highly in the feedback during the first round of public consultation in 2016.
CWAC cabinet member for economic development and infrastructure, Cllr Brian Clarke commented: "I'm sure local people are going to be delighted when they see the new plans for Weaver Square which builds on the consultation we ran in 2016.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a really special showcase area for our town. I would encourage everyone to get involved and have their say.
"Weaver Square, along with the new Barons Quay development, provides us with a unique opportunity to change Northwich for the better and really boost the town and draw people in from the wider Cheshire community."
"Coming on the back of the fashion anchor in Barons Quay, the Cheshire FA announcement and the North by Northwich Charlatans residency, there is a real feeling of optimism in the town.
"Weaver Square, with its many vacant units and poor architectural quality is letting the town down and these exciting plans will provide a bright new future for this area of the town."
Now, local residents are being encouraged to view the plans and have their say online ahead of dedicated consultation events planned for June.
The plans can be viewed on the council's website here, where there is also a link to an online survey where local people can leave feedback.
There will be a drop in session on Wednesday 20th June from 3pm to 6.30pm at Memorial Court, where people will be able to see the plans and proposals, ask questions and leave comments.
In 2016 more than 1,000 people responded to the initial consultation with key stakeholders and the local community to gauge what improvements people wanted to see in the development area.
The council says that feedback from the first stage of the consultation has shaped the proposed masterplan.
Weaver Square is a major part of the wider regeneration of Northwich town centre and the proposals will add further value to Northwich and complement the existing offering of retailers, businesses and services across the town.
Cheshire West and Chester Council has issued a demolition notice for part of Weaver Square to help pave the way for new development opportunities.
The town has already welcomed a £20 million new Waitrose and marina, completed in 2013, and Memorial Court, a £15 million entertainment and leisure centre which opened in May 2015.
The £80 million Barons Quay retail and leisure development was completed in November 2017 and in the same year a further investment of £5 million was spent on public realm improvements to the old historic town centre, including areas around Barons Quay.
Northwich has also secured an additional £1.5 million Townscape Heritage Lottery Bid for improvements to older buildings in the town's traditional shopping streets.

Q: LinqDataSource "OnSelecting" event not firing on Post-backs I have a web page with two dropdownlist controls, each bound to separate LinqDataSource objects. One displays a list of Categories and the other displays a list of Articles. The Category choice drives Article list (at least, that's my intended behaviour). The Article list is also filtered based on the users language preference, stored in the Session and applied in the ArticleLinqDataSource_Selecting event handler.
<asp:Label runat="server" Text="Category Code:" AssociatedControlID="CategoryDropDownList" />
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="CategoryDropDownList" DataSourceID="CategoryLinqDataSource" DataValueField="CategoryID" DataTextField="CategoryCode" AutoPostBack="true" />
...
<asp:Label runat="server" Text="Article Code:" AssociatedControlID="ArticleCodeDropDown" />
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ArticleCodeDropDown" DataSourceID="ArticleLinqDataSource" DataValueField="ArticleID" DataTextField="ArticleCode" OnDataBound="ArticleCodeDropDown_DataBound" />
 ...

  ContextTypeName="Arcicle.Data.ArticleDataContext"
  TableName="Articles" OrderBy="ArticleCode"
  Select="new (ArticleID, ArticleCode)"
  OnSelecting="ArticleLinqDataSource_Selecting">
</asp:LinqDataSource>

This all works fine when the page first loads. The Category list contains the all the available category values, and the first category in the list is selected. And the corresponding Articles for the first category are displayed appropriately in the Article dropdown control. However, when I change the category (a post-back happens because I have it set to AutoPostBack="true", the Article dropdown does not get refreshed. In other words, the OnSelecting event is not getting fired on subsequent postbacks. Is this the expected bahaviour? If it is, how do I get around this?

A: You need to call DataBind on the DropDownList in the CategoryDropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event. It doesn't happen on its own.
e.g.
Protected Sub CategoryDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CategoryDropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged
        ArticleCodeDropDown.DataBind()
End Sub

Background & aims This study aims at evaluating if docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) increases the efficacy of radiation therapy (RT) on two human colorectal cancer cell lines with different radio-sensitivity. Methods LS174T and HT-29 cells were treated with 20 or 50 µmol/L EPA or DHA followed by single X-ray RT of 0, 2 or 4 Gy, to evaluate cell survival, apoptosis, peroxide and malondialdehyde productions. Inflammation- and apoptosis-related proteins were analyzed by Western Blot. ANOVAs were used for statistical analysis. Results LS174T was more sensitive to RT than HT-29. DHA and to a lesser extent EPA increased cell death, apoptosis and peroxide production after RT in LS174T and to a lesser extent in HT-29 (p < 0.05). This was associated with increased expression of heat shock protein 70, decreased expression of NF-kB p65, COX-2 and Bcl-2 proteins. Conclusions The effect of RT combination with DHA and to a lesser extent EPA was synergistic in the radio-sensitive LS174T cells, but additive in the radio-resistant HT-29 cells. This enhanced cytotoxicity was provoked at least partly by lipid peroxidation, which consequently modulated inflammatory response and induced apoptosis.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft is getting set for the final segment of its planned ten-year mission after entering the approach phase of its visit to the dwarf planet Ceres.
This dwarf planet, with an average diameter of 950 kilometers, is the largest object in the asteroid belt, a region of space located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter filled with debris of all sizes left over from the creation of the solar system.
Mission officials say that Dawn is scheduled to enter orbit with Ceres in March to study and photograph the celestial object up close.
When Dawn enters its orbit around Ceres, NASA says that the spacecraft will become the first ever to circle two solar system targets.
According to NASA, the Dawn spacecraft is about 640,000 kilometers from the dwarf planet target and is traveling at a speed of around 725 kilometers per hour.
Dawn, launched from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in 2007, already completed half of its mission back in 2012 after spending 14 months visiting and exploring Vesta, the second largest object in the asteroid belt. Scientists also refer to Vesta as a minor planet named Vesta 4.
Before entering its approach phase with Ceres, the spacecraft was in a solar conjunction, meaning it was on the other side of the sun from us. With the sun right in the middle between Earth and Dawn, those involved with its mission had limited contact with the spacecraft.
But since the sun is no longer blocking Dawn from Earth and reliable communications have been re-established, mission controllers are able to program the spacecraft's computers with the maneuvers necessary to safely and effectively guide it to Ceres.
With its unique ion propulsion system, NASA says that the Dawn spacecraft is able to travel to its destinations much more efficiently than if it had been equipped with a traditional chemical based propulsion system.
Because of this efficient method of propulsion Dawn has been able to travel through the cosmos with a higher amount of thrust time than any other spacecraft.
"Orbiting both Vesta and Ceres would be truly impossible with conventional propulsion. Thanks to ion propulsion, we're about to make history as the first spaceship ever to orbit two unexplored alien worlds," said Marc Rayman, Dawn's chief engineer and mission director, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Scientists think that Ceres may have formed later and may have a cooler interior than Dawn's first target asteroid, Vesta.
Recent research suggests that since it formed earlier, when radioactive material was more plentiful, Vesta was able to produce more heat than Ceres and retain only a small amount of water. On the other hand, scientists believe that Ceres is covered with thick mantle of ice and could even have an ocean tucked under its frigid crust.
NASA says that as Dawn comes closer and closer to Ceres, the spacecraft's cameras will be able to provide some of the best images ever taken of the dwarf planet.
It has been a pleasure to be alive in this space age. I stayed awake most of the first moon shot. I taped the whole launch on an old 1960 reel tape recorder.


A double-flow laminar counterflow heat exchanger device is an open circular tube divided into two subchannels with uniform wall temperature, inserted in parallel into an impermeable, resistless tube. Heat transfer performance was considerably improved, compared with an open circular tube (without an impermeable, resistless tube inserted), using an orthogonal expansion technique with eigenfunction power series expansion. The impermeable tube location can effectively enhance the heat transfer efficiency, leading to improved performance. The dimensionless outlet temperature and average Nusselt number decrease with increasing Graetz number (Gz) as the subchannel thickness ratio (κ) moves away from 0.5, especially for κ > 0.5, for flow pattern A. Heat transfer rate improvement occurs for flow pattern B for any Graetz number with κ < 0.6. The power consumption increment is also delineated.

Flippomusic is a contemporary jazz ensemble based in Chicago, Illinois, which was formed in 1992 by pianist Dave Flippo to perform his compositions and arrangements. Members Dan Hesler (saxophone and flute), Donn De Santo (bass), Heath Chappell (drums), and Aras Biskis (percussion).

History

1992-1994 - Tendrils of Light
Flippomusic gave its first performance at At The Tracks in Chicago and continued performing at area clubs, including the Bop Shop, Jazz Bulls, the Hothouse, Morseland, the Underground Wonderbar, and the Heartland Cafe. The original members of the band included Dave Flippo (keyboards), Dan Hesler (saxophone), Steve Hashimoto (electric bass), Steve Strunk (drums) and John McLean (guitar).The instrumentation was reconfigured in 1993 and the guitar position was replaced by Hamid Drake on percussion with Aras Biskis taking over the drum chair. The band recorded its first CD, Tendril of Light, on the Southport label in 1994 and also won first place in Winterbreak-Cruise to Chicago contest, a City of Chicago-sponsored event which won them a booking at the Taste of Chicago in the same year. Guest artists on Tendrils of Light include Michael Zerang and Ken Gueno on percussion and Donn De Santo on bass.

1994-2001 - Ganesh
The band added additional Flippo compositions as well as works by Steve Hashimoto, Dan Hesler and several modern jazz standards to their repertoire and began performing at area colleges, festivals and special events at area museums and art galleries. During the period the instrumentation crystallized into its present form - with Dave Flippo on keys, Dan Hesler on saxes and flute, Donn De Santo on bass, Heath Chappell on drums and Aras Biskis now on percussion. The ensemble released their second CD, Ganesh, in 2001, also on Southport Records. The ensemble tracks were recorded at Donn DeSanto's "Bassplace Productions" studio while the solo piano preludes recorded at Sparrow Sound Design (Southport Records). Guest artists on the recording included Lyon Leifer on bansuri and Yatindra Vaid on tablas.

2001-2005 - When the Heart is Strong the Voice Rings True
Shortly after the release of Ganesh, De Santo and Flippo formed a duo and began mixing in new vocal compositions and arrangements of Flippo with jazz standards. For a time it was called Da Duo De Flippo De Santo, but later was considered part of Flippomusic. The larger quintet continued to perform during this period. The band's third release came in 2005 with a primarily duo recording, When the Heart is Strong, the Voice Rings True. The duo was augmented on several tracks by Dan Hesler on saxophones, Leo Murphy on drums and Michael Levin on clarinet.

2005 to present - Tao Tunes
During the recording of When the Heart is Strong ..., Flippo completed the Writer's Workshop Program at the Theatre Building Chicago where he composed two full length musicals and studied techniques for setting lyrics to music. Once he complete this course, he resurrected a project he has begun in 2004, the creation of a set of modern vocal jazz pieces that set various chapters of the Tao Te Ching – Tao Tunes. After first creating adapted lyrics from various English translations in the public domain, Flippo composed eighteen pieces and completed the set in 2009. Recording began in March 2010, Tao Tunes was completed in June, 2011 and released November 2011. Guest artists include Larry Gray (cello), Neal Alger (guitar), Hamid Drake (percussion), Mike Levin (Bb and bass clarinet and flute) and Katherine Hughes (violin).

After the recording of Tao Tunes, Flippomusic expanded its program to include music from all four CD's—the "globaljazz" compositions, the vocal duo pieces and the set of Tao Tunes. The band offered programs which were purely "globaljazz" but also one which mixed the earlier material with the new vocal compositions.

1. February 2018. Visitors to Macau's pretty Coloane Island could easily set aside a full day for its many sights and delights. Seen the pandas at Seac Pai Van Park? Checked out the stilt houses in Coloane Village? Grabbed some sausage rolls and egg tarts at Lord Stow's Bakery? Very well, then it's probably time to take a leisurely walk to Cheoc Van Beach, about one and half kilometers from the village main street down Estrada de Cheoc Van.
2. February 2018. It's a tiny stretch of sand, but picture perfect on a quiet, sunny day like this. In the summer, at the height of Macau tourist season, I imagine it must be an absolute horror show.
3. February 2018. The crescent shaped beach occupies a tree-lined corner of Bamboo Bay, which also features a fancy hotel and a large outdoor swimming pool, which was completely drained on the day of our visit.
4. February 2018. When we arrived the beach was virtually empty, with just a local couple walking their dog. When they were shooed off by a beach security Jobsworth, I had the place to my selfie. I mean self.
5. February 2018. The beach is served by two restaurants. One is a large seafood joint that looked pretty busy and blasted out Beatles tunes. The other is this shabby little café owned by a Chinese couple who acted as if our business was causing them some kind of inconvenience. Armed with an overpriced coke and a really crappy coffee, Wonderboy and I sat gazing out across the bay daydreaming about how, if we had the capital, we could transform Café McCrapville into a stylish cash cow.
For more on my time in this amazing corner of China, check out my other articles on Macau.
Like these? Then why not leaf through my many more 5s from across China.

According to the poster of the thread, his friend was wondering why his shiny new Playstation 3 had stopped working, when he discovered the unthinkable. His buddy decided to duct tape over the vents in order to keep dust OUT of the console. Yeah, that'll keep it nice and clean.
I think we might have a new candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Q: Connect VB 6.0 application to Oracle Currenly I am using Oracle 9i Lite Client to connect my VB 6.0 application to Oracle database. The Oracle 9i Lite Client  is installed on all the user's machine. (around 200)
The VB 6.0 application also needs to talk to SQL Server 2000 database
I am trying to think for replacement of Oracle 9i  Lite client so that I can bring down the overall cost by removing Oracle 9i Lite Client from all the user's machine and replacing it with some opensource or cheaper option which allows me to connect to Oracle database without loosing connectivity to SQL Server 2000.

Road to Nasrec: A rapid, credible economic turnaround is possible, but...
Staff Reporter 2017-12-06 14:12

'The state won't have to provide services if society is empowered'
Discuss, debate then defend: Dlamini-Zuma lashes out at ANC 'splinter' groups
How ANC losses may affect economy
As the country anxiously awaits the outcome of the ANC elective conference in December, it remains to be seen whether the year ahead will usher in new leadership, and with it a possible change in direction for South Africa.
A panel of prominent South Africans from business, academia and the media convened at the Gordon Institute of Business Science to consider what 2018 may hold as political uncertainty and economic paralysis continue to grip the country.
State capture and the political year ahead
2017 has been a year of unprecedented revelations of corruption and state capture, and institutions in both the public and private sectors have suffered irreparable reputational damage.
Investigative journalist and author of The President's Keepers, Jacques Pauw, told the forum that criminality had blossomed in South Africa under President Jacob Zuma.
The destruction of the capacity of law enforcement agencies to investigate has resulted in the shielding of criminality and a purge of dedicated civil servants. Pauw said it would take a long time to rebuild these institutions and improve the capacity at state institutions such as the South African Revenue Service, as well as political will to arrest those responsible for corruption.
"Our immediate future looks extremely bleak," Pauw said. He believes that if Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma wins the ANC presidency at the elective conference in December "very little will change. It will be dire if she comes to power as she is relatively weak and is compromised." With Dlamini-Zuma as ANC president, the country might enter into a nuclear deal "and then we are starting to look at corruption in the trillions," he added.
Head of Goldman Sachs' investment banking division for sub-Saharan Africa, Colin Coleman, said the ANC had created an organised shadow state, a network of patronage designed to keep the party in power.
Senior researcher at eNCA, Angelo Fick, said: "South Africa's short term future is messy, awful and disastrous, but precisely the dynamics of a young country where the majority of people are under the age of 35."
He said the national election in 2019 would be "the last grandstand of the old men in this country. So regardless of which faction wins in 2019, things in the medium term look very different" as the youth reach voting age.
The role of business
The state capture project has been enabled by organisations that were previously held in high regard, chief executive of IQbusiness, Adam Craker, told the forum.
"Audit and legal firms clearly overstepped the line. But this is not only a local issue and it would be foolish to think their actions are restricted to this region."
Chairperson of Massmart, Kuseni Dlamini, said corruption was on an "industrial scale. We should all be ashamed that it happened in our midst."
The past year has shown that when governance fails, it opens the way up for evil elements to manipulate state institutions and shareholder resources.
"We have to be wide awake every day in 2018. All of us must be activists against corruption and against wrong doing," he added.
Dlamini said whistle blowers should not only be protected, but also rewarded for the work they do.
The judiciary, an independent media and civil society were the three pillars preventing South Africa's descent into a gangster state, Pauw asserted. He added that business must become a fourth pillar by bringing wealth to ordinary people.
"It is the only thing that will save our country in the end. We cannot afford to sit still anymore and wait for something to happen."
Coleman said the problem of structural inequality underlay our deepest problems and allowed state capture to exist. While Dlamini-Zuma's vision of Radical Economic Transformation was to "redistribute the current pie," Cyril Ramaphosa wanted to accelerate both growth and transformation.
"There is no transformation that can take place in a context of no growth," Coleman said.
Leadership and a way forward
Ratings agencies are all underpinned by the principle of credible structural reforms and medium term economic growth prospects, Coleman explained.
He said the 90-day stay of execution granted to South Africa by Moody's before downgrading the country's local currency rating to sub-investment grade "hinges on political leadership choices in December and their policy positions."
"We could have a rapid, credible economic turnaround. However a business-as-usual approach and a nuclear programme is a recipe for downgrade, it is entirely within our grasp. If we choose the right leadership, we can turn it around."
Dlamini said he believed the country would "emerge from this year very strong, and enter 2018 in clean up mode."
"The ANC knows the stakes are very high if it continues on the path of corruption. It has to decouple itself from the corruption narrative and regain the trust and confidence of the public." He felt certain that the country would be in a better space by 2019, but that it would "require us all to engage with the issues that confront our country."
"We need champions of an inclusive society, and prominent people to agitate for transformation. We need inspiring and inclusive leadership and must make the space for them to emerge. We must make South Africa the winning nation I believe it can and must be."

Gas grills are the most common outdoor cooking appliance today and are increasingly replacing charcoal grills due to their ease of use and generally being easier to clean and maintain. As with any appliance an outdoor grill should be treated just like an indoor appliance. Grill safety should be exercised to prevent serious injury – you are after all dealing with a combustible gas and should consider the fact that you can get burned if not careful.
ESPN's Hannah Storm was seriously injured a few weeks ago when the flame on her gas grill went out and exploded in a "wall of fire" when she tried to relight the grill. She suffered second degree burns to her chest and hands and first-degree burns to her face and neck. She lost her eyebrows, eyelashes and half her hair (Read the article here). If you watched the Rose parade and saw her hosting you noticed she had her left hand bandaged but otherwise looked terrific. Thanks to skilful makeup artists and hair extensions she was able to host the parade as if nothing happened.
Hannah was interviewed by ABC news and held back tears as she vividly described her terrifying ordeal. Graphic pictures of her in the hospital were shown while she was in the hospital; you could see the burn marks on her chest and neck where the flames were creeping upwards towards her face. She truly was lucky to have people home who were able to come to her rescue otherwise who know what could have happened.
The article mentions Hannah "noticed the flame on the grill had gone out. She turned off the gas and when she reignited it "there was an explosion and a wall of fire came at me."" I underlined "she turned off the gas" because that is an important piece of information. Turning off the gas was the correct thing to do. The article is a little vague though. I don't quite understand why she would turn off the gas and try to relight the grill with the gas off but maybe that bit of information is either lost in translation or maybe is missing a moment of time. I believe I heard Hannah state in her interview with ABC news that she waited a few minutes before turning the gas back on and reigniting the grill. If she had waited a few minutes before reigniting the grill then she followed the correct grill safety procedures gas grill manufacturer's state to do in their manual.
Why did this happen if she followed the correct procedures?
While I can't say for certainty why this happened there are a few reasons how this could happen and how you can look out for them yourself.
Today's gas grills primarily use either natural gas or LP (propane) gas. Natural gas is cheaper than propane depending on where you live, burns cleaner than LP and is lighter than air so it dissipates quickly. LP gas is heavier than air and will seek the lowest space available like at the bottom of the fire box where the burners are. LP gas will take more time to dissipate into the air. The article states she was using a propane gas grill.
I'm assuming since it was mid-December in Connecticut that the temperature was mild to cold and air is heavier when it's cold outside. From what I gather from the article and listening to her interview I'm assuming there was a short period of time after she turned off the gas to let the gas dissipate before reigniting the grill. In warm weather where the air is lighter the propane might take 2-5 minutes to dissipate; your manufactures manual will state to wait 5 minutes before reigniting the grill after you notice the flame has gone out. But with the colder temperature the colder air would trap the propane gas into the bottom of the fire box not allowing the gas to dissipate as quickly. However long she waited it wasn't enough time.
LP (propane) gas is nontoxic and in its natural form is colorless and odorless. Manufacturers deliberately add a chemical compound to give it that unpleasant smell. The unpleasant smell helps alert you there might be a leak. When the gas is ignited the chemical compound is burned away and is almost unnoticeable but during a leak it is clearly noticeable to the nose. If Hannah would have noticed the smell of rotten eggs before she turned the gas back on and hit the igniter she might have let the grill sit a little longer.
Gas grills are the most common outdoor cooking appliance today. Gas grills are increasingly replacing charcoal grills due to their ease of use and generally being easier to clean and maintain. As with any appliance an outdoor grill should be treated just like an indoor appliance. Gas grill safety should be exercised to prevent serious injury – you are after all dealing with a combustible gas and should consider the fact that you can get burned if not careful.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Home Fires Involving Grills Fact Sheet, between 2006 and 2010, US fire departments responded to an average of 8,600 home fires involving gas grills, hibachis and barbecues per year. These 8,600 fires caused an annual average of 10 civilian deaths, a reported 140 injuries and $75 million in direct property damage.
Keep an eye on the grill to make sure the flame hasn't gone out. If it's a windy day you might need to check it often.
If the flame goes out turn the gas off at the propane tank first then the turn the burners off. Turning the gas off at the tank than at the burners will allow what little gas is in the lines to escape.
Leave the lid open to allow the gas to escape. If you keep the lid closed the gas won't be able to escape.
Wait at least 5 minutes before turning the gas on. If you still smell gas or rotten eggs wait another 5 minutes before turning the gas back on and reigniting the burners.
If the smell of gas does not go away keep everything turned off and call a propane service tech or the fire dept – do not attempt to turn the grill back on.
Replace your propane tank frequently! Propane tanks will degrade over time. Have your tank inspected when you get it filled up or better yet, exchange it for a new one.
Grilling has grown into a family tradition and an American pastime. I think we all tend to feel complacent around our gas grills because we use them so often and "nothing bad has ever happened" but gas grill safety should be considered every time we light the grill up. Like I stated in the beginning, you are using a combustible gas and should always be mindful that you can get burned so please be mindful and take precautions.
Stay safe ~ Happy Grilling!
