Why Are Norwegians Deciding Over Nobel Prize?
Gunnar Gällmo
Why is a committee of the Norwegian parliament deciding over the Nobel Peace Prize?
Seems strange, for at least two reasons.
One: Nobel Prizes are private, not public (funded by private money, ruled by a private will); so how can a parliament be involved?
Two: Alfred Nobel was Swedish, not Norwegian, and all the other Nobel Prizes - medicin, physics, chemistry and literature - are decided by academies in Stockholm. (Those academies are formally royal, but not ruled by the government.)
I think we must remember two things:
One: Alfred Nobel was a great excentric, and I think he had a good sense of irony.
Two: when he wrote his will, Norway was not fully independent.
During the years 1814-1905 - which included all of Alfred Nobel's life-time - Sweden and Norway formed a union. Both countries had their own parliaments and governments, but they had the same king (who had to change his uniform every time he crossed the border, for diplomatical reasons).
Each contry decided pretty much about its own domestic policy, but foreign affairs were decided by the union - in theory; in practice, by Sweden.
Now, of the five Nobel Prizes, the Peace Prize is the most evidently political one, and obviously concerned with international affairs.
So the right to decide about this prize was given to a parliament that had, according to its own rules, no right to meddle in international matters.
That's Alfred Nobel for you...
He probably wasn't a great friend of the Swedish government, nor of the Scandinavian king at the time, Oskar II.
Who didn't like him very much either.
Now, Nobel's will says nothing about royal participation at the Nobel festivities. (It doesn't even say anything about Nobel festivities.)
But the administrators wanted to have it.
The first year the prizes were given, Oskar II refused to participate. He was furious that such a great Swedish prize should be given to foreigners and not only to Scandinavians.
Next year, he had changed his mind. It had become obvious that the Nobel festivites were good for the international prestige of Sweden.
But he couldn't be in Stockholm and Oslo during the same day, because the Wright brothers had hardly got up from ground level yet, so there weren't any airlines.
Therefore, the Norwegians didn't get accustomed to royal presence at the festivities; and even when the country finally got a king of its own in 1905, after the union had split up, the Peace Prize wasn't given by his hand.

Q: Get set of numbers from string without regex
"abc_d1.txt" should get 0
"abc_d1_2.txt" should get 2
"abc_d1_14.txt" should get 14
"abc_d12_x2_156.txt" should get 156

Can do this currently with regex
 int Id;
 string pattern = @"(?<=_)\d+(?=\.\w+)|(?<!_\d+)(?=\.\w+)";
 Regex rg = new Regex(pattern);
 var z = rg.Match(fullFileName).Value;
 Id = z == "" ? 0 : Convert.ToInt32(z);

But how to do it without regex?

A: I'm not sure why you don't want to use regex (I don't judge). However, assuming everything is exactly as you have described, and you need no validation. A low tech approach would be to just Split the string, TryParse the results, then call LastOrDefault
Given
private static int GetNumber(string input)
  => input.Split('_','.')
      .Select(x => int.TryParse(x, out var value) ? value : (int?)null)
      .LastOrDefault(x => x != null) ?? 0;

Usage
var asd = new List<string>()
{
   "abc_d1.txt",
   "abc_d1_2.txt",
   "abc_d1_14.txt",
   "abc_d12_x2_156.txt"
};

foreach (var result in asd.Select(GetNumber))
   Console.WriteLine(result);

Output
0
2
14
156

A: Classic string manipulation:
int u = s.LastIndexOf('_');
return  int.TryParse(s.Substring(u + 1, s.Length - u - 5), out int i) ? i : 0;

(Following on from the comment) - the 5 is a bit of "magic number" I guess - it's the length of the extension ".txt" 4 plus 1 to negate the effect of u being one index short (because it's pointing to the position of the underscore, not the position of the first char of the number after it). I could have written s.Substring(u + 1, s.Length - (u + 1) - 4 but this form might self-explain a little better:
int begin = s.LastIndexOf('_') + 1;
return  int.TryParse(s.Substring(begin, s.Length - begin - 4), out int i) ? i : 0;

This is a photo of my friend Jennifer in her Sárköz costume. The region of Sárköz [pronounced sharkeuse] is well known in Hungary for its folk culture, and the costume is quite typical of a large portion of the country.
Sárköz is in south central Hungary, just west of the Danube, in Tolna county, part of the large region of Transdanubia, or Dunántúl.
This map shows the position of this region within Hungary. .
It is in the southeastern part of Tolna County, consisting of the five settlements of Decs, Öcsény, Sárpilis, Alsónyék and Báta.
Sarkozi is the adjectival form, and is a common surname in Hungary, and is also the surname of the President of France, whose family, obviously, is Hungarian, and comes from this region.
In the early 19th cent. the wetlands in this region along the Danube were drained, greatly increasing the amount of arable land, which resulted in the peasants of this region becoming well off, which became evident in the local costume.
The chemise is quite full, the sleeves and body being smock-gathered into a neckband. It is traditionally of fine linen. The sleeves are rather short, the cuffs generally being worn above the elbow.
The chemise was originally full length, and later, as in so many other places was cut in half, forming a blouse and underskirt.
The sleeves are made of two full widths of cloth. At first they were joined by decorative stitching, as you can see in the image above.
Sometimes the sleeves were embroidered, as in the following images. Notice that for this piece, the body is made of a cheap calico, and only the sleeves of fine linen.
Here is a closeup of three embroidery patterns which were used for the sleeves of the chemise. Unfortunately this image is not of the best quality.
Later, this stitching and embroidery was replaced by a length of lace inserted into the seam.
A skirt of linen up to 14 yards wide was worn over the chemise. This was densely smock-gathered. Over this were worn three or four white petticoats. Over that was worn a very full colored skirt of printed material or brocade. Commonly a wide patterned ribbon was sewn to the middle of the skirt, or a series of narrow ribbons on the edge, or both. The use of sequined trim is not uncommon. The hem often has a wide facing of a contrasting material. Over the last century the hem has slowly become shorter.Sometimes two skirts of colored cloth were worn.
Sometimes two colored skirts are worn, at other times a flounce may be added on top of the bottom of the skirt, sewn on just where the large ribbon is appliqued, about halfway down, to give the appearance of wearing two skirts.
Later the fashion changed to a type of blouse with a shoulder yoke and narrow sleeves, as you can see in this photo. This was rather widespread. These are often made of printed or damask material. Both types are seen today.
In colder weather, or for women of a certain age, a blouse or jacket is worn. This has long narrow sleeves, and generally has a high neck. This is a more urban style. This is sometimes considered to be more formal.
The apron is a simple rectangle gathered at the top. In the past it was made of a material which contrasted with the skirt, often silk or velvet. Today it is commonly made of the same material as the skirt. Rows of ornamental ribbon are sewn to the two sides and hem of the apron. The ribbons were sometimes ruched. The same three edges usually also have long silk fringe. I do not believe that aprons from any other region are fringed. Old women wear white linen aprons.
The collar of the chemise is sometimes a simple band, and sometimes is of black cloth with lace gathered into it.
Commonly a necklace of beads strung into a net is worn around the neck, as you can see here above.
Either boots, backless mules or shoes are worn. For everyday and less formal occasions, this completes the costume.
In cooler weather, or for more formal occasions a bodice is worn. This is quite simple, cut rather low in front, comes just to the waist and laces up the front. It may have simple trim ornament. Take another look at Jennifer at the head of the article, and other various images.
For dress, a rich shawl with fringe was worn over the shoulders, when such things became fashionable in the mid 1800's. As the peasants in this area became more affluent, as many as four shawls were worn on top of each other.
For formal occasions, starting when they became confirmed, girls wore a three part complex floral wreath on their heads, as one can see in the second image above, and in the following images. Ribbons may be attached behind.
The image above with the man shows a young married couple. Brides, or perhaps a better translation would be young wives, wore a special coif, fõkötõ. The floral wreath was not worn after the wedding. The special coif was worn for the first few years of marriage and was then put away. Here is an image of several unmarried girls and one young wife on the right.
These coifs were black with a very specific type of embroidery, not used in other regions, and used in Sárköz only for this one garment. These coifs are no longer commonly worn, but very many have been saved, and are regarded as part of the artistic heritage of this region.
The embroidery is in white on a black background, and took the form of two bands, a wide one in front, and a narrow one behind. Sometimes the embroidery was arranged in three groups across the front. Colored ribbons were fastened behind.
It was formerly the custom in Transdanubia to wear a very thin linen veil over the cloth. This was a long narrow rectangle, similar to that which is still part of the folk costume of countries from Lithuania to Romania. This has currently ceased to be part of the Hungarian folk costume except in Kalatoszek in Transylvania, and has even been picked up by the Saxons there. This veil was pinned to the coif with silver pins on each side.
These soon gave way to colorful curvilinear designs.
With the passing of the Bíbor as a living garment, This style of embroidery was reinvented and adapted for the embroidery of linens; handkerchiefs, tablecloths, napkins, dresser scarves, etc. This is as distinct a style as any in Hungary, if less well known than those of Kalocsa or the Matyó.
LInens were also produced using decorative weaving. The ornament on these linens was arranged in bands, most commonly red with some black touches, but also all in black. Pairs of birds facing each other is one of the most common motifs, as it is throughout the country. This was used for towels, pillowcases, tablecloths, etc.
Tablecloths made using this technique sometimes double as wraps.
Thus it is clear that Sárköz is a region of great richness in terms of folk art, embroidery and dress. I will close with a few more images.
Thank you for reading. I hope that you have found this to be interesting and informative. I would recommend trying any of these embroidery styles on projects in your own life. This is part of the richness of the artistic heritage of the world, and should continue to beautify our lives.
This is a fascinating post. The photos are so clear too. I enjoy your blog so much and it is definitely extending and improving my understanding of people, how they live, and why things look a certain way.
A wonderful overview of these historical clothing. It's amazing seeing the patterns and colors that make this culture. Thanks for sharing!

My grandmother is guilty of passing on false information. That's not to say she was a liar, but that she protected her recipes within an inch of her life. The recipe for the Italian Creme Cake she so loyally baked every birthday and Christmas was typed out on a three by five index card, with the name of it's original baker, "Ruby," written in her script at the top right corner. However… this recipe card, though it's been followed, shared, and framed in my kitchen, is not the real recipe.
Her sweet bread loaf, I've never been able to replicate. I have no idea how it was actually made. The same goes for her angel biscuits, jam cake, cooked caramel icing, and her peanut butter balls, in a way.
Over the years, I've turned out at least one batch of these every holiday season, and if done correctly, get eight dozen perfectly-shaped, quarter-sized bites of goodness. A can of flaked coconut equates to about a cup of the packed flakes. I prefer pecans for the non-descriptive "chopped nuts," and melt real butter instead of the margarine the index card calls for. Still, though, I've found no proper measurement for the parafin.
The result is a buckeye-looking "deluxe peanut butter ball" according to those who eat them. While the idea of eating a little parrafin wax is off-putting to some, I find that it melts a thinner dipping cholocate that coats easier and dries more slowly and therefore less lumpy than the pre-made dipping chocolate counterpart you can find in any grocery store these days.
They taste like Christmas. They bring back memories of my grandpa standing anxiously at my right, ready to remove and re-insert the toothpicks we used to dunk into the melted chocolate. They make me think of family gatherings and wax paper in a decorative tin box. And, whether or not its the real recipe, they taste perfect.
Mix together the first 6 ingredients, and form into quarter-sized balls on wax paper.
Melt together the wax and the chocolate, and dip the peanut butter balls in almost all the way. Let sit until hardened, then use finger to cover the toothpick holes.

Power Goes Off in Gothics
By Ariel Estevez | August 29, 2006
If your alarm clock did not work this morning, it might have been because of the West Campus Residential Initiative. This morning, students on West Campus experienced a power shutdown due to construction on the loading docks for the Hans Bethe House, a new residential building scheduled to open by January.
The loading dock is needed to transport supplies, such as furniture or food, into the Bethe House and its dining facility. In order to excavate the area, the electrical circuits located beside the Class of '26 building had to be taken out of the way. These electrical circuits power all of West Campus, other than the Carl Becker House, Alice Cook House, and Noyes Community Center, which run on another generator.
Jonathan Hui '09, a resident of McFaddin Hall, had to cope with the power shutdown. "I'll make sure I stay asleep the entire night, and I'll keep a flashlight handy," Hui said the night before. When asked about how he felt about not having power for a night, he said, "I don't think it's an extreme inconvenience because it's on weekday night hours, but I still think it'll cause problems since we can't study without lights, and some people have plug in alarm clocks."
Michael J. MacAnanny, West Campus Residential Initiative project leader, said the power shutdown will be a reoccurring thing, but it will not likely happen while classes are in session. "There will be other times, but we will try to schedule it for the breaks," he said. This morning's power shutdown occurred because the excavation of the loading docks could not be done before the start of the semester.
West Campus's residents were told about the power shutdown in advance via email by their residence hall directors. The RHDs clarified that despite the power shutdown; there will be an emergency power generator on. "Each emergency generator powers the fire alarm system and the exiting lights, but do not power enough lights to read [under]," MacAnanny said.
If any of the residents wanted to study, they had the Becker and Cook House common and dining rooms available, as well as the computer lab in Noyes Community Center.

WTO: 2014 NEWS ITEMS
> Statement by General Council Chair
EXPLANATIONS:
> Trade Facilitation Agreement
> Fact sheet on stockholding for food security
Statement by DG Azevêdo
Thank you Mr Chairman.
It seems we liked Bali so much we wanted to do it all over again!
But, we made it.
I want to thank everybody — Ambassador Fried, Ambassador Conejos, all of the chairs, everyone who has brought us here today.
This is a very important moment for the WTO.
By agreeing these three decisions we have put ourselves back in the game. We have put our negotiating work back on track — that means all the Bali decisions: trade facilitation, public stockholding, the LDC issues, the decisions on agriculture, development, and all of the other elements.
And we have given ourselves the chance to prepare the post-Bali work program.
But, crucially, during this process we have seen a renewed commitment to the multilateral system.
This would not have happened without the commitment and political will of all 160 WTO members present here today.
Members have shown the willingness to compromise — and a real commitment to the multilateral system.
So I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody for the restraint and flexibility that you have shown in recent days.
It has been a tough period for our negotiating work, but we have got the right result today.
Nevertheless, I think we would all agree that we need to find an easier way of doing things. While we have seen renewed commitment to the WTO, the truth is that we must avoid repeatedly putting ourselves in this position.
We have lost precious time since July, and it goes without saying that we can't wait another two decades to deliver further multilateral outcomes.
We have to think about how we can operate in a more efficient way.
The size and diversity of the Organization is not an impediment to that. The consensus rule — that people talk about so much and which will never disappear — is not an impediment either.
We showed in Bali that we can deliver. Now we need to figure out how to deliver more and how to deliver faster.
So we should be pleased that our work is back on track. But this is where the real work begins.
We have to make this breakthrough meaningful by seizing the opportunities for progress that it provides.
We have just finished one journey — but now we must embark on another.
You have just adopted texts which say that work will start immediately.
And that means immediately. The dictionary definition is: without delay, instantly, at once, without lapse of time. So this is what we will do.
You have committed to engage constructively on all of the Bali decisions and the work program on the remaining DDA issues.
It is clear that members place real priority here and so we must get to work straight away.
I will be convening a meeting with the negotiating group chairs tomorrow to ask that they bring members together immediately to begin resuming work in all of these areas.
It is important that we start planning for 2015 as soon as possible. We have a new deadline for the work program of July 2015. So we definitely don't have any time to lose.
Ambassador Fried as the chair of the General Council will also be moving straight away to take forward the decisions which come under the regular bodies of the General Council. Indeed, he told me a moment ago that he will be convening a meeting of the chairs of the regular bodies next week.
So all of this work is back on track.
On Public Stockholding, we are committed to following an accelerated timeframe.
I trust that members will now deliver this commitment and work constructively together towards finding a permanent solution. We have a target date to conclude the negotiations: December 2015. So again, we don't have any time to lose.
On Trade Facilitation, adopting the Protocol of Amendment was an essential step. It allows the process of implementation to begin. But this is just one of many steps we need to take going forward.
It is very positive that we have already received 50 Category A notifications, including the first from an LDC member. This is a large proportion of the potential total given that developed members are not eligible as they don't submit these notifications.
Now all members must work closely with their capitals to begin the process of ratification. Two thirds of members must deposit their instruments of acceptance for the agreement to come into force.
So I urge you to push forward the ratification process in your capitals.
The adoption of the protocol is also significant because — I am very pleased to say — it means that the Trade Facilitation Agreement Facility is now officially operational.
I want to thank the many donor members and Annex D organizations who have shown strong support for the Facility.
We will be giving the Secretariat resources to ensure that the Facility is a success, but for this initiative to thrive and succeed, it will need buy-in from all of us.
Since its launch in July, many members have already expressed their willingness to make contributions to the Facility.
I ask members to further strengthen their bilateral programs, but I also ask them to provide all the support they can to the Facility. We must ensure that LDCs and developing countries get the help they need to reap the full benefits of the Trade Facilitation Agreement.
Through the Facility we will continue to work closely with other organizations such as the World Bank, the WCO, UNCTAD, the OECD, the ITC and others.
Many developing country members have already benefitted from assistance programs provided by these organisations, and I encourage this work to continue alongside, and in support of, the Facility.
So there is a lot of work ahead to honour what we have decided here today.
We have just two weeks until the December meeting of the General Council.
Let's make the most of the momentum that we have today and use these next two weeks to plan our way forward.
I will be travelling over the next few days: attending the East African Community summit in Nairobi, conducting a bilateral visit in Dar es Salaam, and taking part in the African Union trade ministers meeting in Addis Ababa.
And, as I have set out, there will be a range of meetings going on here in Geneva during this period.
We should aim, by the time of the General Council on the 10th of December, to have a clear sense of what lies ahead — and a plan for taking our work forward in the New Year.
We have delivered today on a promise we made in Bali.
Now let's make it count.
Decisions of 27 November 2014
• Public stockholding for food security purposes WT/L/939
• Agreement on Trade Facilitation: Protocol amending the Marrakesh Agreement WT/L/940
• Post-Bali work WT/L/941

Please contact webmaster@wto.org giving details of the operating system and web browser you are using.
Statement by the Chairman of the General Council
I wish to draw your attention to:
— the draft Decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes, contained in document WT/GC/W/688;
— the draft Decision on the Protocol of Amendment to insert the Trade Facilitation Agreement into Annex 1A of the WTO Agreement, contained in document WT/PCTF/W/28; and
— the draft Decision on Post-Bali work, contained in document WT/GC/W/690.
With respect to Trade Facilitation, I also draw your attention to the Category A notifications received so far, and circulated in the series of documents carrying the symbol WT/PCTF/N.
In accordance with the Bali mandate, the General Council has to annex the Category A notifications to the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The text of the Trade Facilitation Agreement, as you will recall, is contained in WT/L/931.
The Decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes, as I said, is in document WT/GC/W/688. By adopting the Decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes we are not prejudging the nature of the permanent solution nor the legal instrument to give effect to it, to be agreed by Members in the course of the negotiations.
With respect to the Decision on Post-Bali work, circulated in document WT/GC/W/690, Members are collectively acting on the premise that the entire Bali Package can and must be pursued and that all Members will engage constructively on the implementation of all the Bali Ministerial Decisions in the relevant WTO bodies, and on the preparation of the clearly defined work program on the remaining DDA issues mandated in para. 1.11 of the Bali Ministerial Declaration, with a new deadline to agree on the work program by July 2015.
Therefore, in adopting the three Decisions on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes, on the Protocol of Amendment for Trade Facilitation, and on Post-Bali work simultaneously, we are reaffirming the entirety of the Bali Ministerial mandates, including the priorities that Ministers identified at Bali.
Let us now turn to the formal action by the General Council
I propose that:
— the General Council adopts the draft Decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes in document WT/GC/W/688;
— the General Council adopts the draft Decision in Document WT/PCTF/W/28 and the Protocol of Amendment to insert the Trade Facilitation Agreement into Annex 1A of the WTO Agreement contained therein, and opens the Protocol for acceptance; in so doing, the Category A notifications shall be deemed to be annexed to the Trade Facilitation Agreement;
— the General Council adopts the draft Decision on Post-Bali work, in document WT/GC/W/690.
The General Council so agrees.
Statement by DG Azevêdo at Press Conference
Welcome everyone. I just want to explain what happened here today — and what it means for the WTO.
I'm sure you are all aware that since July there has been an impasse in the implementation of the Bali issues which has had a paralyzing effect on negotiations in all areas.
The impasse related to the political link between two of the Bali decisions — the decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes, and the Trade Facilitation Agreement.
Today we have resolved this impasse.
WTO members came together at the General Council this afternoon and took three decisions. I will just say a word or two about each one.
The first decision clarified the Bali Decision on Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes.
It makes clear that peace clause which was agreed in Bali will remain in force until a permanent solution is found.
It also states that Members shall make all efforts to negotiate a permanent solution by 31 December 2015. This is an advance on the original target date, which was the 11th Ministerial Conference in 2017.
If no solution is reached by this new target date in December 2015, the peace clause will simply remain in place and in effect until negotiations do conclude and a permanent solution is adopted.
The second decision adopts the protocol of amendment which formally inserts the Trade Facilitation Agreement into the WTO rulebook.
This clears the path for the Trade Facilitation Agreement to be implemented and come into force — with all the well-documented economic benefits that this will bring for developed and developing countries alike.
Members will now go ahead and ratify the Agreement, following their domestic procedures.
This decision also means that the Trade Facilitation Agreement Facility is now operational.
This Facility is designed to ensure that LDCs and developing countries get the help they need to implement the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement and of course to reap its benefits.
We have already received a great deal of support and interest from donors on this initiative — and have built strong partnerships with a number of organisations in support of this work, including the World Bank.
The third decision taken today concerns the WTO's post-Bali work.
With this decision Members committed that this work will resume immediately and that they will engage constructively on the implementation of all the Bali Ministerial Decisions, including the work programme on the remaining DDA issues.
Members also agreed that the deadline for agreeing the work program will now be July 2015. And they reaffirmed the priorities for this forward work as outlined in the Bali Declaration.
So this is a very important moment for the WTO.
By agreeing these three decisions we have put ourselves back in the game. We have put our negotiations back on track.
But also, crucially, during this process we have seen a renewed commitment to the multilateral system.
This would not have happened without the commitment and political will of all 160 WTO members.
Members have shown the willingness to compromise — and a real commitment to the multilateral trading system.
We showed in Bali that we can deliver. Now we need to figure out how to deliver more and faster.
So we should be pleased that our work is back on track. But, in fact, this is where the real work begins.
The texts that members adopted today say that work will start immediately. And that's what we'll do.
We have delivered today on a promise we made in Bali. Now we have to make it count.
Thank you. I am happy to take any questions.
The Decisions were subsequently issued as WT/L/939, WT/L/940 and WT/L/941


Have you wondered how it feels when you are in Love? Well you will know it exactly only when you love somebody.
Can I pass a secret to you? When I was in high school and college, I had great expectation, that I will find a person who loves me and I for him. Unfortunately, all the guys in the college were my friends and to be frank, we guys, both girls and boys were so happy with how we were that nobody had this tendency to do anything other than support each other and be best friends.
As time went by, we continued to behave the same way, though we never had contact with each other, the trait of supporting each other wherever we are and not hurt anybody became our single aim in life.
Now, to follow this aim in life, we should love that person, respect that person and have faith in that person. But, we cannot do that unless it is reciprocated, right? Well, that is where the beauty of life lies.
Nobody can love us or respect us, or have faith in us like we do our own self. So how can we expect that from a mere mortal as another human being?
A diamond attains perfection because of the number of cuts it has and cutting a stone is not easy thing, but if it happens, there is a diamond in process and when the finished product comes out, the diamond should thank all the people who helped it make priceless- which means, the people who cut it to perfection.
In real life, we are the raw stone, where people (families, friends, colleagues, school mates, college mates, neighbours and the whole world except you) cut us by hurting us, humiliating us, betraying us, by not keeping promises, but remember if it were not for them, we would never be where we are now.
These people are the turning points of our life, the milestones of our life. We should really thank them and not fill ourselves with hatred or revenge towards the people who hurt us.
I know its difficult to feel love for people who hurt you, but imagine, when they did that you made several decisions which helped you grow or change the direction of life, which made you grow, which brought you closer to what you wanted to be. If you had to do it, you would never have a single clue, how to go about it and so unknowingly, the people who hurt you helped you direct you towards the right path.
So in return, the only thing you can do without restraint is love them for their selfless action.
Just rewind your life and check, how many thank yous entitled to others have you missed? If possible, if they are living, do yourself a favour and thank them from the very bottom of your heart, you will never regret it and that is when I would say, you are in love. The love where you give, expecting nothing.
Believe it, the feeling is simply superb!!! Its not for One Person only!!! You have the whole world to Love!!!
That!!!! is what the Beauty of Living Is !!!

'The Do-Over' Red Band Trailer: Why Does Adam Sandler Find Violence Against Women So Hilarious?
'The Do-Over' Red Band Trailer: Why Does Adam Sandler Find Violence Against Women So Hilarious?
Apr 20, 2016 3:14 pm
http://video-cdn.indiewire.com/videos/lKQ0roU0-4giHRFLQ.mp4
The trailer for Happy Madison and Netflix's latest cinematic dumpster fire, 'The Do-Over,' was released today, and plot details are straight out of the Adam Sandler screenplay generator: Max, a cool guy in cargo shorts (Sandler) teaches Charlie, an uptight loser with glasses (David Spade), how to loosen up. They go on vacation, they fake their own deaths, women can't WAIT to sleep with them, etc. But near the end of the trailer, something a little different happens.
Starting around 2:04 in the trailer above, Max tells Charlie that he went to police academy, and Charlie asks why he's not a cop. "I didn't fare too well on the psychological exam," Max replies. To underline this fact, there's a cut to Charlie driving a car, and then Max reaches over from the passenger side to grab the wheel and swerve it into a female pedestrian. Charlie is horrified ("What the f—!"), but Max lets out that trademark Sandler chortle.

In case the above didn't sink in: Adam Sandler hits a random woman with a car, then he — and by proxy, the audience — laughs hysterically. There's no joke. There's nothing more to it. That's it.
In a year where bold women are making great comedy — Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, Amy Schumer, Mindy Kaling, and Lena Dunham, just to name a few — why does Sandler think assault is the best way to get a laugh from an actress? At this year's Oscars, Lady Gaga sang the powerful sexual assault awareness anthem "Til It Happens To You" and brought the audience to tears. That's how we started this year in film. Less than two months later, we get Sandler giggling at attempted vehicular manslaughter.

Look — Indiewire isn't predisposed to love Sandler's oeuvre. (That may be the first and last time those two words appear together.) But performances in "Punch-Drunk Love" and "Funny People" show he can be a nuanced, interesting artist when he feels like it. That, along with the fact that he has a devoted wife and two beautiful daughters in real life, makes it incomprehensible why hitting a woman would be such a gas.
Adam turns 50 this year. At this point, he could find other ways to earn a cheap laugh.
For what it's worth, "The Do-Over" hits Netflix on May 27th.

Lawmaker Seeks to Stop Politically-Themed License Plates
Spencer Platt/Getty Images(PHOENIX) -- Arizona wants to honor the Tea Party with a commemorative license plate, but a U.S. congressman says that's a bad idea.
New York Democrat Gary Ackerman maintains states shouldn't be in the business of promoting political parties on the right or left and so he's introduced the "License Plate Political Slush Fund Prevention Act of 2011."
Ackerman's bill would slash 15 percent of a state's federal highway funds if they make license plates that fill the coffers of groups that work toward the election or defeat of political candidates.
The lawmaker is taking particular aim at Arizona's bill, which he says is the Republicans' attempt to "create a slush fund for its Tea Party friends. It's a scheme that smacks of cronyism, and should not be allowed to become law."
Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, hasn't said whether she'll sign the measure, which allows some of the proceeds from the plates to go into a fund that promotes "Tea Party principles."
Republicans from other states, including Nevada, Texas and Virginia, are also considering vanity license plates that pay tribute to the Tea Party.?

Former Hill Aide, Wife of White House Staffer Found in Burned Car
Photo Courtesy - Bill Clark/Roll Call/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- Ashley Turton, a former aide to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and wife of White House staff member Dan Turton, was found dead Monday morning in her burned-out car in the garage of her home in Southeast Washington, D.C.
Turton, a mother of three-year-old twins and a one-year-old, worked as a lobbyist for Progress Energy.
Metro police said they initially received a call at 4:50 a.m. about a car accident. The D.C. Fire Department initially responded to calls for a garage fire at the Turton's rowhouse.
They could not put out the fire, but then discovered an adult, later identified as Turton, was in the car.
Authorities believe the car crashed into the garage, but the investigation is still ongoing.
Turton was scheduled to be at work, and was most likely involved with the merger between Progress Energy and Duke Energy, which was announced last week. She had been an employee of Progress Energy since September 2007.
Her husband, Dan, is White House liaison to the House of Representatives.

Working hard to improve Norwalk schools: Op-ed
By Bruce Kimmel
Published 12:00 am EDT, Wednesday, July 10, 2019
Last fall, the Curriculum and Instruction Committee of the Norwalk Board of Education published the first in a series of monthly columns that described the work of the committee. The goal of the columns was to provide residents with an appreciation of the work done at the committee level, work that is critically important to any legislative body but is generally not covered by the local media. Below are thumbnail sketches of these meetings.
September: The committee reviewed initiatives adopted during the previous academic year, such as the expanded high school curriculum, our new gifted and talented program, and the new science program. We also discussed one new initiative, the future expansion of our world language offerings across all grades.
October: We focused on the continued improvements to our middle schools (particularly how to better integrate math into the schedule) and received an update on the revamped gifted and talented program. We also discussed the need to improve literacy instruction, with more interdisciplinary activities and more writing, throughout the district.
November: The summer slide, when students lose academic ground, was the main topic. We examined end-of-year and beginning-of-year assessment data from summer school students to better appreciate the strong and weak points of our expanded summer program. We were satisfied with the first year results and agreed to expand our analysis next fall. We also discussed testing data from our English Language Learners, which indicated we had exceeded state averages and were among the highest in the state.
December: Parents and staff from Tracey School presented their Character Education program, which highlights the need to integrate core values into virtually everything going on in schools, creating a positive culture more conducive to academic achievement. We discussed the different ways the school focuses on the social and emotional needs of students. Tracey's test scores have improved, plus suspension rates and disciplinary issues have dropped significantly since the new program was introduced.
January: The committee discussed and sent to the full board for approval a new program of studies for Norwalk's four high schools (Norwalk High, Brien McMahon, the Center for Global Studies Magnet High School, and P-Tech Norwalk — Pathways to Technology Early College High School). The revamped curriculum was necessitated by the change in high school graduation requirements from the state minimum of 20 credits to the modern standard of 26. The committee again discussed the new gifted and talented identification procedures.
February/March: We spent two meetings discussing the organization of the city's four middle schools. We considered a proposal to reduce the existing 84-minute blocks of instruction to 60 minutes, creating time for students to have daily science instruction and providing them more opportunities to take electives, such as world languages. We agreed to pilot the new schedule next year at Ponus, which is being expanded/renovated and will become a K-8 STEAM school (science, technology, engineering, art and math) in two years.
April: We received updates on a variety of board initiatives: how the former students of the closed Norwalk Pathways Academy at Briggs were doing at Norwalk and Brien McMahon (very well); the implementation of the new gifted and talented screening process; the development of the curriculum for the new K-8 Ponus Ridge STEAM Academy; and the upcoming Summer Academy for grades 5 and 6. We also began a discussion, which will continue next year, of the district's policy and procedures for field trips.
May: The entire meeting was devoted to "digital literacy," specifically, how to integrate modern technology into most of what takes place in schools. The district is in the process of modernizing all its libraries, hiring more certified library media specialists, and increasing the number of digital specialists in our schools.
June: The focus was on the district's multi-year plan to improve literacy instruction in the coming years. The committee also received updates on next year's middle school schedule for gifted and talented students and the upcoming K-6 Summer Academy (which will consist of 68 classrooms in various schools). We also had an initial discussion of methods to enhance K-8 math instruction, which will be continued next year.
The committee meets on the third Tuesday of the month, 5:30 p.m., in City Hall. The next meeting will take place in September. The public is welcome.

Chrome Bookmark Shenanigans
Google Chrome has really become my favourite browser after Opera completely abandoned its former self and just became a Chrome clone, but not everything's great and sometimes Google does some incredibly annoying things, like recently… In the last few days, there have been a smatter of complaints about the overhauled and simplyfied bookmarks, ironically called the Enhanced Bookmarks Experiment, which seem to have been switched on after some users upgraded to version 40.
But don't panic if you are suddenly confronted with a square-y, colourful mess where your good, old bookmarks manager used to be – there is an easy way to go back to the old system. Just go to chrome://flags and search for "bookmarks" – or copy & paste or click the link below:
» chrome://flags/#enhanced-bookmarks-experiment

Ukraine mandates chemical pedophiles
By Zubair Yaqoob
Pedophilia offenders will be dosed by injections under the new Ukraine law, as punishment. Ukrainian media reported Saturday.
According to Ukrainian national news agency, the chemical process involves an anti-hormone injection that contains some chemicals that reduce libido and sex activity.
The law will be enforced against men between the ages of 18 and 65 who are found guilty of raping or sexually abusing minors and are expected to be executed against thousands of offenders, every year.
In 2017, official data show 320 rapists of children in Ukraine, but the number of sexually abused pedophiles in the country is believed to be thousands of cases.
More stringent criminal laws involve the child being approved in a special session of the Ukrainian parliament.
"The law of Ukraine has no life sentence or death sentence for crime against children.
"By this law, rapists can not repeat the offense, after being released," said Radical Party chief Oleh Lyashko, who proposed the sterilization.
Under the new law Juha, Ukraine will establish a list of pedophiles that have been jailed for child raping or sexual misconduct against children.
Such criminals will be monitored for life by the police, after being released from prison.

I prefer the previous term as more descriptive of what is actually happening - species of all sorts are disappearing once and for all.
Do you really think there is all that much that we can do about it? I mean, I guess our kids' kids might call us fools, but only if there was something we could do. I mean, when you talk about the main spokes people for global warming in the west you're talking about guys like Al Gore and Leo Dicaprio. These are spoiled hollywood types who consume more energy in a month than my whole block does in a year. I almost want to use more energy and pollute the planet just to stick it in the faces of these holier-than-thou advocates...not really, but you do see the hypocrisy, right?
Jon, thanks for visiting. I wholeheartedly agree - it's politics and also quite a bit of misplaced guilt.
Still what encourages me is our youth. A number of young people respond wonderfully to saving biodiversity and that is what counts. It is very sad that the older folks are desensitised or have given up, still Go Youth!
I may be at loggerheads, but I have to say this. May be we are the "species" who are meant to put an end to this "series". Maybe a new order will emerge. Afterall five billion years is quite adequate for permutations and combinations. It looks like there is some inevitability in play. Probably "ecotourism" in the superficial and "GM" and (in a way stem cell manipulations) in the more deep zones will do the exact opposite of what they started out to do and challenge sam's first rule of leaving nature alone. I sort of subscribe to the theory that there were a series of starts and stops before we emerged. So, in all probability, we have been "chosen" to end the era. Is there anyway to stop atrophy and death?
Also, nature might (WILL) still find a way.
Paru, Atrophy and death are a part and parcel of life. Biodiversity is on the decline and perhaps that is inevitable. The previous starts and stops happened in less drastic ways and in ways that allowed nature time to rebuild. In fact disasters for life as a whole probably also stimulated new waves of biodiversity in the long run.
What we are witnessing today is a rapid and permanent loss of species that will be replaced with species that thrive on pollution, need less water and like high temperatures. I can see aworld of rats, ants and cockroaches coming. Parhaps there will again be a resurgence, but at the pace at which man makes and breaks, it seems that no ecosystems will be stable enough to allow for real speciation to again take place, except for the urban ecosystems that we will be creating.
Then again, we may annihilate ourselves in the next thousand years or less and nature will be back on top...after a suitable interval.
Sam you said it. The moment man stopped being nomadic and started "selectively" cultivating and "settling" down, he had brought in unwittingly an inevitable progress down a narrow lane scuttling biodiversity. The degradation progresses slowly or in leaps and bounds accoding to the level of sophistication of the tools he handles. That is where the inevitability or the eventuality comes in. The atrophy and death I am talking about is not about a particular species, it is more collective. A whole system, be it social, political or ecological moves towards atrophy and death, depite the best efforts to wind back. And without such atrophy and death, nothing absolutely 'new' can happen.
Moreover, do we really understand or is it even possible to take into account the dynamic parameters (of change) of nature. Before we destroy natue, nature may destroy us!!
When new species occur or the current species evolve further as a result of their adaptation, like you say, to pollution, heat etc, would you call it a degradation (simply because "we" were replaced by "them") or an advancement? It simply depends on which side you are on, on the rat's side or the man's. Remember we are also a species in this ecosystem. So we make the ecosystem which evolves towards atrophy anyway. I am not really talking 'fatality' here. My argument is oriented more towards acceptance than irresposibility. So what do you think?
I agree that we are not in anything like complete control of where nature is going and I also agree that nature will no doubt survive us in one way or another.
What is concerning to me is that we are unthinkingly doing things that have unpredictable and even catastrophic implications and it is not as though we are incapable of being better stewards of our own potential and the potential of nature.
For whatever reason, we are both sentient and clever but we have been unable as a whole to channelise our potentialities and instead end up destroying billions of years of fine tuneing of ecosystems practically overnight and without a backward glance at the devastation that we have caused. At least if not for self preservation, out of respect for the right of other organisms to exist, we should change both our ethic and our praxis.
I do believe that if enough of our youth take heed, the next gen certainly can do much better!
I very much agree with most of what you say, except "the fine tuning" part. I doubt if anything was ever fine tuned. If it were, it would be quite static. And it is not in the nature of NATURE to be static.
Looking around, I don't see as much hope in the youth as you do. All are very much in the same bandwagon of wanting to be in the know but do nothing. To take the smallest example, tell me if one youngster is willing to walk the shortest distance without riding a bike, the worst destroyer of our delicate atmosphere. If somebody did, it is only because citibank hasnt contacted them yet. For every Gore and Capriati, there are 100 irresponsible people out there. If the two pollute with 10 vehicles apiece, the other hundered pollute with their one each. I dont find much difference, and I dont want to call them particularly hypocritical. Action, like charity, should begin (very concientiously) at home.
Generally, one's faith and way of life, knowledge and action, concern and philanthropy remain quite divorced. I dont think there is much hope. So I am taking quite a cynical stand, in self-defence.
I say all this all the time feeling the deep sadness, the suppressed agitation and helplessness you feel about the callouness of fellow homosapiens. We dont deserve this earth. We are the most unworthy inheriters. Probably, like Koestler says, something went terribly wrong when our neocortex was forming. So after all nature is to be blamed for her own degradation.
Well, I guess you need to get more in touch with kids who will make the effort. I'm preaching now, but living in a big city, in that ratrace, can be disillusioning. I know that there are thousands of youth in Chennai who go birding in the wet season hols and who are involved in stuff like beach cleaning and whatnot.
I really think that many homes are lacking the time, energy or the parents never had the inclination to grow an appreciation of nature in their kids, so many kids are just not exposed. Even our schooling system is so nastily introverted in focus that its a wonder that so many kids do have a concern for nature at all.
Just letting one or two of these youth be friends with folks like you will be a blessing to them and will help to get them moving in the right direction.
Why not start blogging. You would be amazed at how many kids jst drop in and take a peek while cruising the net. Besides, you'd be a natural, an original thinker who can communicate well!
Like life itself, I'm not gonna say die till I'm well and truly dead!
Sam, I am not gonna say die either, but something surely is dead in me. I no more have the energy of enthusisam.
'respect for the right of other organisms to exist'. So how do you justify medicine, then? Pathogen is a term which is wholly from the point of view of man. Sometimes the stand certain sects (like the adventists and the Jehova's Witness) take seem quite logical to me. Just because the virus is seen only with a powerful microscope, its right to exist is next to nothing? Why are we battling with it on a pretty uneven ground? For the battle to be fair and square, we should fight only with our own much evolved arsenal and not borrow from outside?
Still, when I got typhoid I did dose myself up for the full course so I'm not that altruistic after all!
hmm, you are not the only eccentric, I dont use insecticides either. Babs too was much against killing cockroaches at home. He always said they had a right to exist. But what about the lowly mosquito?
But medicines, I really hope I am not tested much.
As long as the gene is selfish, it is pretty much impossible for anyone to be truly altruistic?
Altruism is one of those mysteries that Dawkins can't really explain, so there's something missing still in the theory of evolution, coz altruism is not only (occasionally) a human trait! But I'm not really being altruistic in promoting the preservation of nature, quite selfish actually!
Precisely Sam, that's what I meant. Though I borrowed his line, I meant more than that. When I mentioned 'gene', I meant it as a whole 'entity', not of the human variety alone. Altruism in the most sublime form is pure selfishness, anyway. I mean when the mitochondria was allowed to be part of the cell, the assimilation was not entirely altruistic. If a thoughtless creature can do that, it is no wonder a thinking creature can camouflage selfishness with altruism. But the most unselfish selfishness is quite pardonable. So carry on.
If altruism is being more selfish for others than for self then we are sailing in the same boat.
Sam did you read the article about Oregon's principles and experiments with land use. It has come in The Hindu of 22/7 (page 16 "What India can learn from Oregon" by Tathagata Chatterji). Quite sensible and looks like they are largely successful.
India has a very long way to go as far as completely making democracy and human rights realities. Still, one is amazed at how functional society actually is! The Nandigram issue and SEZ (economic zones) are a case in point. The government has a right to enforce its will though thankfully it seldom enforces very unpopular decisions. In this case as is common with much Jamindari mentality, money has talked louder than good sense, yet when the people rise up and when the issue becomes a hot potato, without acknowledging that it has backed down, the government has in fact done so - so, our democracy can be made to work!

The thing that really bugs me about the moves to halt climate change is the stupidity of our carbon emission scheme (in NZ) that allows big business to buy carbon credits and carry on polluting. Doesn't change the overall balance.

Giants-Patriots: Was Kyle Lauletta's night better than the stats indicated?
In a surprise start Thursday vs. the New England Patriots http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-rhett-ellison-jersey , rookie Kyle Lauletta went a pedestrian 8-of-19 for 118 yards with a touchdown pass and two interceptions for the New York Giants as they lost 17-12.Giants coach Pat Shurmur thought Lauletta, the team's fourth-round pick, played better in his most extended action of the preseason than the final stats indicated."I think he fell victim to some drops that would've made things look a little better. That one scramble where I think he hit (Jerell) Adams (a ball that was dropped), that keeps a drive alive," Shurmur said. "He was aggressive with his throws down the field, which we wanted to see. You can see he has plenty of arm strength, which is good, and I thought he was pretty poised throughout the game."Lauletta was hard on himself"There were a couple of near misses," he said. "A couple of deep balls were just a little bit off today. I think if I had made a couple of those throws, everything would have been different, we might have even won the game. I'm disappointed, but I know what I have to do moving forward."Both interceptions came on deep balls intended for Kalif Raymond. Cornerback J.C. Jackson had both interceptions, reaching out for one and taking inside position from Raymond to get the other one. After the game, Shurmur sounded as if he felt Raymond could have done a better job preventing at least one of the interceptions."When you're in pro football and you're throwing the ball around, you need to catch it, especially in those third down situations or when we take a shot on the deep ball, if the ball gets laid inside a little bit, the ball's got to get defended," he said.Lauletta, though, was taking the blame himself."When it left my hand, I honestly thought it was a touchdown, but it kind of hung up in the air," Lauletta said. "I should have put it two more yards out there and he probably walks in."Lauletta also indicated that perhaps he should have checked the ball down on one of the two interceptions.Confident he can do the jobIf all goes according to plan for the Giants this will be the last time we see Lauletta in a game until the 2019 preseason. Eli Manning is entrenched as the starter and Davis Webb has ascended to the No. 2 role. That will likely leave Lauletta in street clothes on game days. His preseason line ends up 17-of-35 (48.6 percent) for 194 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.He knows the situation, but he is also confident he can handle the responsibility of playing if the situation arises."Absolutely, absolutely. As much as we're in the room studying, and Eli is the guy, but me and Davis or Alex, we're all hearing the same things that he's hearing and we're preparing the same way. We might not get as many reps, but look, this is the NFL and when you go out there, there's no excuses. You study, you rep the routes and the throws as much as you can, and when your number is called, you have to execute it," he said."So Davis is confident, I'm confident http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-connor-barwin-jersey , Alex goes out there and plays extremely well. That's what we do, so I'm confident, and if I were ever called to come into a game, I would have all the confidence in the world. With this coaching staff and this group of guys around me, (there is) no fear or nothing like that. Just go out and play and help my team win. Tonight, we fell a little bit short, and partly because of me, so it hurts a little bit, but we'll just learn from it and it will carry into the regular season."Film room: How the Giants turned Eli Manning loose vs. Jets Since the New York Giants hired Pat Shurmur to be their new head coach and fix their broken offense, fans have waited to see what he could do, whether he could bring the magic he worked on the Minnesota Vikings' offense to New York. When Shurmur was hired, Odell Beckham Jr. excitedly tweeted that he was "geeked!" by the hire. Giants' fans finally got to see what the excitement was about when the Giants faced the New York Jets in their annual meeting in the third pre-season game. As the game which coaches use to simulate a regular season game week, we finally got to see more than the outline of the Giants' new offense. And even with game-breaking playmakers Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr. sidelined for the game, Eli Manning was unleashed like we have only rarely seen him these past few years. So, how did Shurmur and Mike Shula simultaneously get Manning's completion percentage to a mark he has only matched seven times since 2014, while also having the most yards per attempt since Week 3 of 2016?Attacking all levels of the defenseOver the last four years, Giants fans have become accustomed to seeing routes run in isolation. The previous offense consistently sought to put receivers in one-on-one situations for the quarterback to complete high-percentage throws. Usually that meant short passes based off the slant route. That lead to problems when faced with certain coverages or when they couldn't feed the offense through Odell Beckham or Sterling Shepard.Under Shurmur, the Giants' offense looks to help receivers by scheming them open, creating conflicts for defenders, and creating simple reads for the quarterbacks. This will clearly be a feature of the offense and was on display from Manning's first pass of the night. The Giants open with a variaton on the "sail" concept. The sail concept overloads one side of the defense, in this case the defensive right, with receivers at (roughly) 5, 15, and 25 yards. In this case the Giants run the concept with a pair of crossing routes from the bunch formation to the offensive right, with Sterling Shepard running the underneath crosser while Engram runs the intermediate route. Cody Latimer runs the third element of the concept, the vertical route, on the left side of the offensive formation. The Jets seem to be running a Cover 3 defense here, which happens to be particularly vulnerable to the sail concept. The concept puts the free safety Marcus Maye in a difficult conflict. The passing concept forces Maye to choose between staying deep and defending the vertical route or coming down to help pick up the deep crossing route.Just before the snap, Maye retreats to a deep center field position, and at that moment Eli knows that he will have Engram open in the intermediate. Other than the coverage on Latimer, which looks as if it could be press coverage until the corner turns to make a zone drop just before the snap, this looks as though it will be zone coverage. across the board — which it is. The vertical route from Latimer pulls the outside corner and free safety deep, vacating the sideline for Shepard and Engram. Meanwhile, Jonathan Stewart comes up to pass protect before releasing into a short check-down route. That freezes the underneath coverage on his side slightly, and forces a mistake when the inside linebacker doesn't pick up Engram as he passes through his zone. Instead, he lets Engram go, apparently expecting him to be picked up by a free safety who isn't there. Either way, it likely wouldn't have mattered http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-ray-ray-armstrong-jersey , as Engram's speed in the open field is too much for most linebackers to match.The end result was an easy read for Manning, who delivers an accurate pass in rhythm to a wide open Engram for a 15-yard reception. Take what the defense gives themShurmur's offense is flexible and varied, borrowing ideas from every offensive mind he's worked with. But it's foundation is still the West Coast Offense, and abides by the Tao of Bill Walsh: You don't go broke making a profit. The Giants' new offense features far more aggression and vertical elements than Ben McAdoo's, but they'll pick their spots for those plays. Here, we see the Giants taking advantage of the defensive call to find a completion and establish a lead with a field goal. The Jets are showing a Cover 4 defense with four defenders in deep zone coverage (quarters coverage), and just four rushers. The route combination on the bottom of the screen uses two receivers to clear out the three defenders to the offensive right. Eli keeps his eyes to that side of the field, using the vertical route to pull the safety and outside corner into the end zone. He then moves his eyes to the middle of the field, pulling the other safety and the two inside linebackers to TE Scott Simonson, who is running the inner of the two hook routes. Wayne Gallman immediately goes out as though for a swing pass, pulling the outside linebacker toward the sideline. All of this creates a big void for tight end Jerell Adams on the outer of the two hook routes. It's an easy pitch-and-catch from Manning to Adams, and a very safe play.Considering the circumstances — a pre-season game in which top tight ends Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison have already left the game, and the offense is missing Beckham and Barkley — taking the conservative option is forgivable. The play is unlikely to score or result in a first down, and in a regular season game this is likely more of a second-and-9 play than third-and-9. It did, however, give the Giants another chance to see a young kicker in Aldrick Rosas who is trying to prove that he should keep his job.Taking shotsManning has always been at his best when he can attack the defense down the field. That doesn't mean that he wants to sling the ball down the field on every pass like he did in Kevin Gilbride's final year. However, Eli seems like a more engaged and energetic quarterback when he knows he has the option to try and throw the occasional haymaker.Once again going back to Bill Walsh and the original WCO, the run-action fake (or play-action) has long been considered to be the safest way to attack deep. Even if a team can't 'establish the run game,' a well-executed play fake forces a defense to freeze, slowing a pass rush and taking defenders out of position in coverage.Here we see the Giants use a simple three-man route based off of play-action to deliver a body blow to the Jets' defense. The Giants used pre-snap motion — with fullback Shane Smith motioning from a wide receiver position to the backfield — to establish that the Jets are in a zone coverage, in this case Cover 3. The free safety is so deep that he isn't on the screen. After a good punt return, the Giants decide to take a shot down the field and really challenge the Jets deep for the first time in the game. With eight potential rushers, the Giants keep seven players back for pass protection while the play develops.To this point the Giants have not been able to run the ball effectively at all, with Jonathan Stewart losing yards on average. However, that doesn't stop the Jets from reacting to the play fake, with all eight box defenders either attacking the run or freezing. Manning takes advantage of the opportunity to target Cody Latimer running the deep post. Latimer's size and speed downfield get a couple steps of separation on Morris Claiborne while Trumaine Johnson is forced to respect the deep crossing route, keeping him from helping Claiborne in coverage.This play could — and probably should — have been a touchdown for Manning. However, hedoesn't fully step in to the throw, under-throwing the ball by a yard or two. That could have been influenced by late pressure as rookie defensive lineman Nathan Shepard is never properly picked up and gets in Manning's face as he throws the ball.Final thoughtsThis is a new and different offense from what we've seen from the Giants. It does have elements of previous offenses, such as the basic tenets of the west coast offense and most passing plays feature at least one vertical option, as in Kevin Gilbride's offense. But unlike either McAdoo's or Gilbride's offense, Shurmur and Shula blend concepts and philosophies to create a varied and versatile offense. It is an offense that strives to create conflict on the defense while putting offensive players in position to maximize their skill sets — such as using Latimer deep or Engram in space against a linebacker. All that makes for relatively easy reads for Manning while letting him take care of the ball or indulge in his desire to attack the defense deep when the opportunity presents itself. The end result? 17 for 23 (73.9 percent) and 188 yards — a line that could easily have been better if not for the under-throw and a pair of drops by Hunter Sharp. Manning looked like a rejuvenated quarterback, quickly making his reads and delivering the ball on time and in rhythm. Manning certainly seems to enjoy playing in this offense, and with the team betting on their 37 year old QB having gas left in the tank, it was what they needed to see.

Very inspiring, Leane!! The gown is stunning. I have been working on a throw pillow cover with some new stitches I have been learning, but have a desire to learn how to work with some smaller threads and make some doilies and small, delicate things. Not quite ready for something that big, though! 🙂 Your girls have all inherited your creative juices, and that is wonderful. We will be having our 14th on Thursday morning, so maybe I can finish my pillow in the hospital while recovering from surgery. Keep me in your prayers!
Congratulations Renee on your 14th! Wow, wow!!!!! I hope the delivery goes well and smoothly!
