2017 PLAYERS Championship Preview
Stan Badz / US PGA TOUR / Getty
Jason Day is set to defend his title this week, as members of a loaded field have made their way to TPC Sawgrass for THE PLAYERS Championship.
2017 PLAYERS Championship Fact Sheet
Course: TPC Sawgrass, Stadium Course
Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Yardage: 7,215 yards (par 72)
Defending Champion: Jason Day
Consensus Favorites: Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, and Jason Day
TV Schedule:
Thursday – 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET (Golf Channel)
Friday – 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET (Golf Channel)
Saturday – 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET (NBC)
Sunday – 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET (NBC)
Known as one of the most difficult venues on the PGA Tour, TPC Sawgrass is not for the faint of heart. Pete Dye designed the course with the ultimate challenge in mind, and while it can be manageable for a player who is executing all of their shots, players who make mistakes are often punished severely. Changes over the years to the original design have lessened the difficulty a touch, but there's no question TPC Sawgrass is consistently looked at as one of the stiffest tests on the PGA Tour schedule.
Key Storyline(s) This Week
Dustin Johnson tackles Sawgrass
THE PLAYERS is typically billed as having the strongest field in golf, and it's difficult to disagree. This year, only two players ranked inside the top 50 in the world (Thomas Pieters and Brandt Snedeker) are absent. The field is so good that it's impossible to mention everyone in a preview like this, but despite all of that star power, it's hard to look past world No. 1 Dustin Johnson. Prior to withdrawing from the Masters last month with a back injury, he'd won his previous three starts against stout competition at the Genesis Open, WGC-Mexico Championship, and WGC-Dell Match Play.
When he made his return last week at the Wells Fargo Championship, Johnson finished runner-up to Brian Harman after a pair of 67s on the weekend, putting to rest any doubts about any lingering effects from the back injury. The only problem? Johnson has never played overly well at TPC Sawgrass, with his best result coming last year when he finished tied for 28th. Given his track record in this event, expecting another quality finish may be the wrong approach, but with the way he has been playing, Johnson being in contention on the weekend feels like an inevitability.
Jason Day's inconsistency
Jason Day comes in as the defending champion, but since that win, his results have been all over the place. He played well right after the win, finishing outside of the top 25 just once in eight starts and nearly winning the PGA Championship, but his 2016 ended with a pair of withdrawals due to a bad back. Inconsistency has plagued him in 2017, so it's hard to know what to expect from Day at this point.
Two of the early favorites to win THE PLAYERS are making returns from extended layoffs this week. Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia are back after last teeing it up at the Masters over a month ago. McIlroy's time off included getting married back home in Ireland, but don't expect any rust. The last time McIlroy finished outside of the top 10 in a stroke-play event was the BMW Championship last September, and after struggling in this event early in his career, he has finished no worse than a tie for 12th in each of the last four years.
Garcia, who is coming off of his long-awaited first major championship win, has usually played well at Sawgrass. He's posted eight top-15 finishes in 17 starts, including a win back in 2008 and his 13 consecutive made cuts in the event have allowed him to earn the most money of any player in tournament history. Just don't talk about how it all ended in 2013.
Changes to Sawgrass
Last year, the tournament was plagued by severe winds and extremely fast greens that significantly impacted scoring during the third round. Thankfully, it doesn't appear like that should be an issue this year, but renovations were made after the tournament last year that will make the course play differently. The greens were replaced, switching from Miniverde to Tifeagle Bermuda, and several holes had their greens changed to allow for more variety in their pin-position options. A new water hazard was also added that should come into play on both the sixth and seventh holes.
But the big change comes on the par-4 12th. The hole has been shortened, and at 302 yards, is now a driveable par-4 for most of the players in the field. Of course, going for the green has its dangers, as a water hazard was added to the left of the green and a long bunker was put in place of the mounding short of it, putting a premium on accuracy from the tee for those going for it in one shot. Previously, the 12th was a relatively mundane hole, but the changes have turned it into the ultimate risk/reward hole, which is a perfect fit for the Pete Dye design.
One hole that didn't get renovated was the island green par-3 17th, and with good reason. At just 137 yards, it's nothing more than a wedge or 9-iron for most of the field, but much like the 12th at Augusta, it causes fits for many players and is almost always a factor in the weekend's outcome. Whether it's the swirling winds, the raucous crowds, or the threat of water all around the green, players tend to either crumble or rise to the occasion on 17, and you can bet that it will be a focal point again this week.

Five good reasons, and one bad reason, for why I enjoy preaching sermons on difficult passages.


Ron Murray welcomed all and introduced Christine FitzGerald as a new member and secretary to the group.
Will Furze reports the purchased timber is in store for the bench repairs. He has delayed work on The Ridge due to the wet weather. RM reported some of the Coney Wood notice boards were rotting as the backs are made of plywood. WF will check and later in April undertake refurbishment. RM has in safe keeping the plaque removed from the commemorative bench dedicated to John Drake.
3. Green Ridge hedgeline, encroaching brambles and undergrowth cut back.
WF ranger will liaise with Alan Griffiths and Stuart re: tractor work .At present the department is behind on its work schedule. MH requested the pathway when cut back be moved a little towards the old hedge line planting with a view to deter brambles encroaching on the meadow. The bramble should also be cleared around the 2017 whip planting. WF( ranger) reported no progress had been made re the resident and green waste dumping. MH asked if a polite reminder could be circulated to Green Ridge residents advising green waste should not be tipped over their fences onto The Ridge. WF will also at some point treat the Mile a Minute plant with glyphosate .
4. Workdays & Green Gym schedule of works required, dates to be agreed.
Future work dates Sunday April 15th cutting back, June 10th, Aug: 19th general maintenance & cutting back October 28th.
In the absence of Robert Barnett RM reported a healthy balance of approximately £2,000 with little recent expenditure. RD requested some additional dormouse boxes which could be purchased through PTES. More bird boxes could also be bought but a problem arises regarding siting them as council staff and volunteers should not be using ladders. WF will liaise with the ARB team and RD to arrange for the erection of the bat box she has in store.
In the absence of Pete Simmonds RM said Pete is taking on membership renewals and recruitment when the weather improves.
AH reported Jamie Burston has given three possible Sunday dates in July for the butterfly walk. He will also promote the event with other conservancy groups. RM said KTRG will make a donation to Butterfly Conservation All agreed lasts years walk had been extremely successful.
8. Toads Hole Valley development and SNCI issues.
MH and CL report little information is being disclosed by the council regarding the development of T.H V.and the impact it will have on the wildlife and SNCI area. Dormouse monitoring has been undertaken over the area plus reptile monitoring with the results recorded by the developers ecologist. It is the view that planning and ecology issues will take a considerable time before any firm details are released as several developers are involved in the construction of the site.
9. Whips placement and working party.
It was agreed Friday 6th April 2.00pm should be set aside for the whip planting with K & M W plus RM and KN volunteering to plant them with some infilling in Coney Wood to compensate for the Ash trees affected by die back AH will print workday posters for April. .Jobs to include tree popping, cutting back, litter and plastic picking.
10. Stanmer nurseries FOC wild flower plants.
KW suggested a group member should attend the Westdene community barn organisations autumn fair to promote KTRG group and encourage new members.
RM reported that Hayley has retired from the group due to her domestic commitments but he will keep in touch with her should any funding applications be needed.
WF advised that the ranger team are to remain at Stanmer moving into an unused workshop for the foreseeable future, he also said Johnnie Gapper will no longer be growing the wildflower plants under the Plumpton college regime at the nurseries.
Date for next committee meeting 18th September.
Date for AGM either 20th or 27th July at Church of the Ascension in the Malcolm Young room.
RM welcomed everyone including our three councillors and two KTRG Green Ridge members who had not previously attended.
Chairman's Address: 'The pond fencing was finally erected after 3 years delay due to specification requirements and funding. The work was completed to a high standard and the practicality of the fence has been much praised by the public; we are grateful for a part funding by the council. Once the fence was in place we arranged for Pete-the-Pond and his team to completely overhaul the pond, clearing away debris and unsuitable aquatic plants, then re-stocking with appropriate plant life and giving us a comprehensive survey and report for future planning. The cost was £750 from group funds.
A water supply has now been finally installed on the ridge close to the windmill, and this will provide constant fresh water whilst the sheep are grazing in the winter months. The initial costs were obtained by KTRG from Lottery funds in 2013. Matting was installed at most entrance gates on site, which should improve access during the winter periods.
A number of information boards needed new secure backing boards, and these were made to order by a group member, and the ranger installed the units as required.
The Green Gym has visited the ridge and carried out numerous tasks including clearance of undergrowth, we are grateful for their continued support. In addition KTRG have organized a number of group work mornings throughout the year, and have been well supported with a range of worthy tasks completed.
Treasurer's Report – RB enlightened us that KTRG end of year funds currently stood at £2,200 and incoming money showed a surplus of £162 over expenditure despite a downturn in membership subscriptions. This was thanks to two Grants of £1,000 and £2,000 which had enabled projects to keep going. RB questioned whether our subscriptions to CPRE, SWT, SDN and Butterfly Conservation should continue but RM reminded all of us that while the group still had funds their backing was available should we need it. It was hoped Jonathan Best (BHCC Grants Officer) would continue to be amenable over future Grant Aid – as we had dealt with him now for over 10 years.
RB considered looking into the possibility of a printed paper information sheet to be delivered to all members- at least once a year when subscriptions are due?
Ranger's Report: WF was settling in well with requirements at this site after Garry had experienced personal problems last November, so the group very much hopes for a period of stability. He has attended a couple of work sessions and succeeded in finishing off the long overdue water supply by bringing in contractors considered necessary in this case. RD and MH questioned whether water from this could be adapted to provide a nearby source when watering whips in dry weather?
Currently a fly tipping of green waste incident in the boundary hedge is under legal investigation. WF will let MH know of a suitable date to walk the whole length of the hedge line in order to better understand requirements of the different compartments.
Sheep grazing is envisaged to commence at the end of September/ beginning of October and they will definitely be fenced in this year. Gates will be checked to see they are working properly before their arrival. WF intimated that in future spring and summer grazing was being considered likely for economic reasons - this was challenged by KN and MH as being very unsuitable for flowering plants on this clay cap. The Green had evolved as meadowland rather than a low chalk grassland sward – WF will pass this concern on and suggest winter grazing should remain here. He is mindful of the three memorial trees and will place extra fencing around the beech in the far Windmill Drive field. RD reminded him that extra fencing was preferable in the kissing gate field as well to enable dog walkers access without having to walk through sheep and prevent escape routes to behind the mill.
A Secretary (following Annabeth's resignation); a Newsletter Editor and a Conservation Day Co-ordinator.
Membership fee for 2017/18 – it was agreed to leave this at £5 per household – or £2.50 for single membership, despite membership money being down this year. The membership secretary later reported two issues he had discovered while collecting subscriptions. One is confusion about when these become due with several people thinking they had already paid. The other aspect is an illusion that the SDNP (or the National Trust) contributes funds when in reality BHCC is still responsible despite dwindling cash problems.
Any other business – The Green Gym recently attacked a pernicious Russian Vine 'garden escapee' from one of the properties in the hedgerow, but its large roots will need 'stump killing' if it is to be finally eradicated after many years of regrowth. WF to investigate and liaise with the GR resident who had tried to get rid of it from his back garden fence line but had not quite succeeded!
RF asked why BHCC tolerated residents backing on to council-owned National Park land who were treating it as if it was their property by removing whips/mowing and in some cases enclosing it within their boundary. Back gates had been allowed through the hedge when houses were built but did that give residents any rights other than back entry?
Those present also wished to thank Annabeth Horsley for her long service record. She had attended almost all meetings since the inception of KTRG in June 1991 - having served as treasurer and also very competently stood in as Secretary when MH resigned after 21 years due to health issues in 2012. In addition she had been involved with Conservation Day organisation and sending out information to members.
Events - Reminder that the Butterfly walk is Sunday 30th July, 10.30 – 12.30, meet at the Café. KTRG is fortunate to have a guide, Jamie Burston of Sussex Butterfly Conservation. The Green Gym is booked to return Thursday, 14th September (10am) and the next KTRG workday is 10am Sunday, 17th September –meet at the windmill.
The next meeting is 7.30 pm on Tuesday, 5th September and the date of the Christmas Get Together was set for Tuesday, December 12th – both venues to be at Mill House by kind invitation of RD.
Sheep are grazing the Ridge now, concern was raised about the lack of electric fencing and allowing sheep access to the hedges. Allowing sheep to nibble the trees would be counterproductive as we have spent the last quarter of a century planting trees to thicken the ancient Saxon boundary hedge along the gardens backing onto the Ridge. This hedge also forms the boundary for the Southdowns National Park. According to GM this was tried in the hope that the sheep would eat and reduce the ever widening thicket of brambles, nettles etc.
This is the first year the sheep have been allowed to roam freely across the whole of the Ridge and people and dogs being forced to walk amongst them. There are also gaps in the hedge along Mill Road where sheep could easily escape into the road.
Remove the overgrowth of vegetation from the pond made of soft and hard rush plus elodea sub aquatic species. Once cleared to be planted with new native aquatic species to increase the biodiversity of the pond to help encourage wildlife. Wintering hibernaculum to be planted around the pond edge.
Sussex Wildlife Trust to be consulted for ideas which would be the best way forward to care for the pond and what further species to plant.
We are waiting for the contractor to finish the work.
A number of gates have been re-sprung and adjusted, more to be done. Putting down matting at access points to be addressed by Ranger. City Clean deal with dog bins, any dog bins that have to be removed will not be replaced.
At the time of writing a further 300 primrose plugs and 3000 bluebell bulbs have already been planted in the wood. A big thank you to the few volunteers who did a magnificent job!
Open spaces need a voice and representation, Denise Taylor, our Hill Top co-ordinator has kindly put her name forward for election. Denise is also chairing City in Bloom, so a busy Lady!!
A new format is expected from David Larkin, Head of Rangers, in due course.
Leaflet holders need to be replaced on the Ridge, six to be purchased.
Kim Willis has kindly offered to do door-to-door leafletting, AH to provide some membership leaflets too.
What is left of the old Braybon Field, off Millcroft, next to the Scout Hut, has now been adopted by BHCC as an open space and is called Gatton Park Open Space, access from Redhill Close.
Leading Practical Volunteer Tasks course is being held at Stanmer Park on Saturday, 26th November from 10 am until 3 pm. There is no charge, tea and coffee will be provided and participants should bring their own packed lunch. Places are limited to one or two members from each group. The aim is that groups have individual leaders which would allow a group to work independently from the Rangers at a time when they are not available.
Date of next meeting 14th March 2017 at the Mill House.
Our grateful thanks to Rosemary & Tony Dowd for their kind hospitality.
Water Supply Connection & Matting Purchased June 2013 at £1,960 - As part of the Lottery Grant Funding awarded to KTRG we gave the council this money to purchase water equipment and matting for use on the ridge. As three years had now elapsed without any action being taken, even though we continued to ask for the work to be carried out, a request was sent to David Larkin in May 2016 asking for our £1,960 to be repaid to KTRG forthwith. David quickly established that the various items had been purchased in 2013, and were being stored at Stanmer. Subsequently within days our new ranger Garry Meyer was actively installing both the matting and water connection, which is ongoing and scheduled to be completed this year.
KTRG Information & Notice Boards - Two information boards have been missing from their designated sites for up to 2 years, and the notice board adjoining the mill driveway has been unusable for the past year. We obtained quotes for replacement units which varied in price from £450 to £1,500. As we considered these prices to be extortionate, these have now been custom made at home for £120, and 2 placed on site by Garry on the same day of collection!!
Pond Fence - During the 2013 Lottery fun day on the ridge, a petition organised by Brian Oram established that there was on overwhelming support for a fence to be erected enclosing the wildlife pond. After three years and delays in specification and public liability issues, together with part grant funding, changes to specification, water logged site, we were able to have the work carried out from the 31st May 2016 at a total cost of £3,240. The workmanship and practicality of the fence has been much praised by the public.
Sheep Grazing - This proved to be problematic this year due to a prolonged wet winter and sheep foot rot problems. However the land improved and the sheep managed to eat their way through the long grass.
KTRG Workdays - Subject to weather conditions most planned work was carried out by our group volunteers to an agreed schedule. More help would be appreciated on future workdays.
Green Gym - Our former ranger Peter Craske had previously organised the work schedule on our behalf. Since leaving I have taken over as co-ordinator and have established a good working relationship with the Green Gym chairman and members of the group. A busy schedule for the future is planned and the team are keen to be associated with KTRG.
Unauthorised Encampments - We have continued to be vigilant ensuring that the ridge has been kept clear of unauthorised encampments. The private mill driveway being blocked by private cars etc.
Coney Wood - As a result of the extensive planting of trees and wildflowers carried out over the last 4 years, the wood has blossomed and is very much appreciated by the public. The wildlife has continued to thrive now that the area has reverted back to a quiet woodland landscape.
Financial – A working grant of £1000 was received from the Council and after the expenditure of the pond fencing of £3240 and approx. £500 for bluebells and wildflowers, our bank balance is now at £2086.27.
Ranger's Report: Peter Craske has left Brighton and Hove City Council. He accepted voluntary redundancy as a result of the recent Ranger cuts and we wish him well for the future. Our new Ranger, Garry Meyer, has been with the corporation for a number of years and was already known to some of us having acted as occasional stand in conservation day leader when our usual Ranger was not available. Due to the depleted workforce Garry now covers 10 sites and groups, which is a very large area and can only increase the already immense pressure on the Ranger Service as a whole. He did not have the luxury of a hand-over period and had no prior knowledge of any outstanding items. However, he has already addressed several of the items and work is now advancing well. Several of the missing notice boards and signs have been re-instated and more are to come.
The installation of the water supply is progressing and will be finalised as soon as all the materials ordered have been received. Hopefully it will be completed by this Autumn. The water supply will come from the Farmer's field and there will be several on/off switches on route in various locations.
Residents may have noticed the group of wheelbarrows tied to a lamp post on Dyke Road Avenue adjacent to Three Cornered Copse. These were used for re-surfacing the path from Three Cornered Copse down to Hove Park. This path is, like many others, known for getting extremely muddy and if the re-surfacing work proves to have been successful Garry proposes to do the same to the top path along the field into Coney Wood.
Garry is keen to work with the group on conservation days and also getting involved and leading the members of the Green Gym who also encourage people, who may have had health issues, to attend and have benefitted from the physical exercise and camaraderie of working together.
We are still in desperate need of a Secretary, Conservation Days Co-ordinator (to liaise between the group and Ranger) Newsletter Producer and a Publicity Officer.
The membership subscriptions are to be kept the same, £5.00 per family or £2.50 per single household and we attach a subscription form for 2016/17. Your continued support is very much appreciated.
Pond – now the fence around the pond is installed we can ask 'Pete The Pond' to advise and estimate on maintenance.
Nettle/bramble/bindweed growth along hedge and encroaching further into the meadows, also the overgrown path along the field into Coney Wood.
Benches, signs, lecterns and gates need to be cleared from vegetation obscuring/blocking them. This has always been a problem but seems to be a lot worse this year as it is everywhere else.
The newly created glades in Coney Wood to let in light and thus encourage more food plants for dormice etc. will need coppicing soon.
Dog fouling appears to have increased recently and ways are needed to be found to encourage dog walkers to pick up, take home and bin. Garry mentioned that one dog walker was successfully prosecuted last year for repeated dog walking at Woodvale Cemetary despite numerous warnings.
All these jobs require volunteers and the usual half a dozen or so members who attend conservation days are not going to be able to cope and more volunteers are needed. How can we attract new members and more people willing to come and help on conservation mornings in general? One suggestion was that education in School is one way forward to get children used to and familiar with the idea of volunteering and the work that is involved once they become adults. We are very fortunate in our group that we have a good liaison with Westdene School through one of our Committee members and classes of children can often be seen having 'wildlife lessons' on the Ridge. They have also been very helpful and involved with wildflower and bluebell planting on the Ridge and in the Wood.
The Black Rabbit roundabout at the entrance to our City was mentioned as all the trees were destroyed. Apparently this was due to problems with the underground water supply and the Highways Agency had to cut down the trees. At present it looks very unsightly and is not a nice welcome to our City but apparently the Patcham Councillors are addressing this.
Concern was expressed about several cats roaming the Ridge at night. Sadly, dormice and many birds are now endangered species and very vulnerable to cats, especially at night and early dawn. This danger could be very much alleviated if cats were kept locked in during the night.
The next committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 13th September 2016, 19.30 hours, and will be hosted by Rosemary and Tony Dowd at the Mill House.

The god of free trade: why Austria cannot stop big lorries from using its motorways
21 January 2012 by David Hart QC
C-28/09, European Commission v. Austria, 21 December 2011 – read judgment
Many countries in the EU are struggling to comply with its laws about air pollution. The UK is in continuing breach of its nitrogen dioxide emission limit: see my post just before Christmas. But one way a country can try to comply with these laws is by banning or limiting heavy traffic. And that is exactly what Austria did in respect of an important bit of its motorway network; it prohibited lorries of over 7.5 tonnes carrying certain goods from using a section of the A 12 motorway in the Inn valley. And just before Christmas, it paid the price.
The EU Court told Austria it was infringing EU law, in particular, Articles 28 and 29 of the EC Treaty (now Arts 34 and 35 of TFEU) which are the core provisions protecting free movement of goods. Why, given that it was trying to comply proactively with another requirement of EU law?
A member state may derogate from these overarching economic principles by invoking Article 30 of the Treaty (Art 36 TFEU) , under which a prima facie infringement of the free movement rules can be justified on the basis of the protection of human health and life or protection of the environment. You might not have thought that this would cause too much problem for the justifying member state, given that the law was designed to mitigate air pollution which is a significant cause of disease, so it ticks two of the Article 30 boxes in one, and is an EU law enforced by the self-same Commission And it was no problem until one got to the requirement that "the measures in question are proportionate to the objective sought". English lawyers have become used to the principle of proportionality as a slightly beefed up version of Wednesbury unreasonableness, but still with a reasonably wide area of discretion afforded to the decision-maker. But poke the great god of free trade, and a much fiercer and more demanding version of the principle emerges, red in tooth and claw. Derogate from free movement, at your peril.
Austria's prohibition was phrased in a quite subtle way. Lorries of over 7.5 tonnes transporting waste, stones, earth, excavated material, motor vehicles, steel, and, a mistake this, marble and travertine were banned. So it was a combination of the lorry weight and the nature of the load carried which led to the ban. Austria said that these particular loads were the sorts of things which could sensibly be loaded on trains; they said that was the purpose of the ban. Why, they said, should we endure all this pollution when a chunk of it can be avoided by making people use the trains running along this valley? Indeed this itself is another policy objective embedded in EU policy. The marble and travertine perhaps raised an eyebrow, as one of the main beneficiaries of Austria's roads is Italy, with its fine stone exports.
Ultimately the CJEU thought that the nut of air pollution could be cracked with a smaller sledgehammer than that wielded by the Austrian government. Cutting down on the smellier lorries rather those carrying specific loads could be done; so could a fixed speed limit of 100kmh, rather than the variable speed limit then adopted. So reasoned the Court. But air pollution is not quite like this; a member state, when faced with a pollution source of this type (dynamic and fluctuating) cannot just say there is one obvious and non-trade offending route to a reduction in air pollution. It has to, and should, make all appropriate efforts to reduce pollution. So it is not really either-or, but both if not all available measures.
One curiosity about the reasoning is that the alleged losers in all this were those who made it their business to send their goods by road through Austria, from, say, Italy to Germany. Those losers are of course the polluters – together with lots of others. There is a maxim which invariably emerges in environmental cases, not least because it is built into the European treaty – the polluter pays principle. But in this case the polluter is not paying at all – nor did the maxim surface. He, the trader or lorry operator, is getting the benefit of some else's road system, and that someone else (Austria) has to find alternative ways, at its expense, to overcome pollution caused by him and others. Some times, when one stands in awe of the huge advances made in environmental protection by the Community in the last 35 years, one forgets for a moment what it is really all about. And you are only reminded how powerful the trade demands are when you compare them to environmental counterweights, or indeed their human rights equivalents; remember the fag pack machine case where freedom of movement considerations were far more powerful than the easily overcome Article 1 Protocol right, when both were relied upon in the same case. Or indeed more recently where uniformity in welfare measures for live animals in transit was held to be more important than higher welfare standards imposed (pursuant to the Commission's own welfare Regulation) by a particular Member state – see our post on this issue.
A final observation; CJEU cases do not often move apace, but the gap between the Advocate-General's opinion (take your pick of the available translations including Estonian, but you won't find English there) and the judgment of the Court is one year and five days. Perhaps they found it more difficult than the anodyne judgment suggests. Remember no-one is allowed to dissent in the CJEU; they all have to agree, on something or other.

Smooth minimum functions for GLSL, sourced from
[Iñigo Quílez's article](http://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/smin/smin.htm).

Particularly useful when doing Shadertoy-style raymarching with distance
fields: you can smoothly blend between two volumes, instead of doing a
hard union with `min(a, b)`.

**[Check it out in action](http://stack.gl/glsl-smooth-min)**

![](http://imgur.com/H7vqNm4.png)

## Usage

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/glsl-smooth-min.png)](https://nodei.co/npm/glsl-smooth-min/)

### `smin(float a, float b, float k)`

Blends smoothly between `a` and `b`, with a smoothing amount
determined by the value of `k`. For example:

``` glsl
#pragma glslify: smin = require(glsl-smooth-min)

float doModel(vec3 position) {
  // Take two sphere volumes
  float a = length(position + 0.5) - 0.7;
  float b = length(position - 0.5) - 0.7;

  // And smooth them together
  return smin(a, b, 0.8);
}
```

There are three variants of this function available, all with the
same function signature:

``` glsl
#pragma glslify: poly = require(glsl-smooth-min/poly)
#pragma glslify: pow = require(glsl-smooth-min/pow)
#pragma glslify: exp = require(glsl-smooth-min/exp)

// Exports `poly` by default
#pragma glslify: poly = require(glsl-smooth-min)
```

Each of these variants differ somewhat in their results,
and some are more appropriate in specific situations:

> These three functions produce smooth results, with different qualities. The three accept a paramter *k* that controls the radious/distance of the smoothness. From these three, probably the polynomial is the fastest, and also the easiest to control, for *k* maps directly to a blending band size/distance. Unlike the other two, it probably suffers from second order discontinuities (derivatives), but visually is pleasing enough for most applications.

Scientists use computer systems to analyze and store their scientific data, sometimes in a complex process across multiple machines. This process can be tedious and error-prone, which has led to the development of software known as a "workflow management system". Workflow management systems allow scientists to describe their process in a human-friendly way and then the software handles the details of the processing for the scientists, dealing with tedious and repetitive steps and handling errors. One popular workflow management system is Pegasus, which, over the past three years, was used to run over 700,000 workflows by scientists in a number of domains including astronomy, bioinformatics, earthquake science, gravitational wave physics, ocean science, and neuroscience. The "Scientific Workflow Integrity with Pegasus" project enhances Pegasus with additional security features. The scientist's description of their desired work is protected from tampering and the data processed by Pegasus is checked to ensure it hasn't been accidentally or maliciously modified. Such tamper protection is attained by cryptographic techniques that ensure data integrity. These changes allow scientists, and our society, to be more confident of scientific findings based on collected data.
The Scientific Workflow Integrity with Pegasus project strengthens cybersecurity controls in the Pegasus Workflow Management System in order to provide assurances with respect to the integrity of computational scientific methods. These strengthened controls enhance both Pegasus' handling of science data and its orchestration of software-defined networks and infrastructure. The result is increased trust in computational science and increased assurance in our ability to reproduce the science by allowing scientists to validate that data has not been changed since a workflow completed and that the results from multiple workflows are consistent. The focus on Pegasus is due to its popularity in the scientific community as a method of computation and data management automation. For example, LIGO, the NSF-funded gravitational-wave physics project, recently used the Pegasus Workflow Management System to structure and execute the analyses that confirmed and quantified its historic detection of a gravitational wave, confirming the prediction made by Einstein 100 years ago. The proposed project has established collaborations with LIGO and additional key NSF infrastructure providers and science projects to ensure broadly applied results.

There's a new crossover in the Honda family this year, and it comes in the shape of the 2019 Honda Passport. Every manufacturer is keen to bolster its SUV lineup these days as they seem to be the only vehicles many buyers are interested in for now. Honda already has a number of very popular and successful crossovers in its portfolio, so just where and how does the Passport slot in? To find out, here's a comparison with the 2019 Honda Pilot, which has an almost identical starting MSRP, and is also the model the Passport is largely based upon.
The Pilot and the Honda Passport are both classed as midsize crossover SUVs, they have identical wheelbases, but the Honda Pilot is the longer of the two by six and a half inches. Even though the Pilot is bigger and can accommodate three more passengers, there's almost nothing in it when it comes to prices. Actually, it's the smaller Honda Passport that's the more expensive` of the pair, but not by much. The Passport has a starting MSRP of $31,990*, while the Pilot costs from just $31,450*. As we said, it's not a big difference, but if you're shopping on a very tight budget it could be a consideration.
Passport is 6.5 inches shorter at just 190 inches. The Passport might be an inch taller than its bigger brother, but the Pilot offers 152.9 cu.-ft. of passenger space and the Passport can manage just 115.9 cu.-ft. of passenger volume.
The front and rear fascias look reasonably different when you see these two parked next to each other. The Passport definitely looks sportier, more youthful and perhaps even a bit more aggressive. At the front of the Passport, there's a larger mesh grille and a bumper that comes up to meet it in the middle. The extra height and shorter length of the Passport mean it's more SUV than the Pilot, which from some angles can look like a tall wagon.
At the rear, it's a similar story, although the differences could be more noticeable to casual observers than those at the front. The tailgate of the Pilot has backup lamps integrated into it, while the Passport chooses to incorporate them into the rear bumper instead. It's another area where the Passport looks sportier, fresher and more "today" than the Pilot, which might be the whole point of Honda introducing this new model.
The 2019 Honda Passport has Honda's familiar 3.5-liter V-6 gas engine under the hood that produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. The power is then sent to the front or all four wheels through a very good nine-speed automatic transmission. This engine is powerful, smooth and particularly quiet, and all-wheel-drive models can be reasonably good off-road. The Honda in all-wheel-drive form has Normal, Sand, Snow, and Mud settings, and these are designed to adjust traction control, throttle response, and the transmission to adapt to various off-road environments and conditions. This probably won't come as a massive surprise, but the Pilot features an identical powertrain. The extra length and weight of the Pilot could mean the shorter, lighter Passport will feel slightly nimbler, but not a huge difference otherwise.
If your buying decision for a new midsize SUV is based on ultimate practicality, flexibility and utility, the eight-seat 2019 Honda Pilot is definitely the best option. However, if a third-row seat isn't needed, and if you're more concerned about how your vehicle looks, the 2019 Honda Passport is probably the way to go.
For more details about the Pilot and Passport, to schedule a test drive, or to learn more about 2019 Honda models in general, don't hesitate to check out our website and get in touch with us here at Mel Rapton Honda.

Huddersfield firm Woods renovate historic organ at Westgate Chapel in Wakefield
IT'S a dirty job – but they were delighted to do it.
Organ being cleaned at Westgate Chapel
A fragile and extremely dirty historic organ has been carefully restored by a Huddersfield firm of organ builders.
And the historic organ – covered in filth and dust from a hundred years of West Yorkshire steam trains – is now ready for a celebration recital on April 25.
Former Kirklees Borough organist Jonathan Bielby will have the honour of being the first to play on the newly-restored instrument, a move which is the culmination of 20 years of hope.
The organ, at Westgate Chapel in Wakefield has been described by David Wood, managing director of the firm Wood of Huddersfield, as the dirtiest he has ever had to deal with.
The chapel is next to Wakefield's Westgate Railway Station and for a century or more the organ gathered pollution from the passing steam trains.
But it is of sufficient historic interest to be rated as Grade II* by the British Institute of Organ Studies.
The restoration, which has brought the organ into superb condition, is being celebrated by the recital by Mr Bielby, who was the organist and director of music at Wakefield Cathedral for 40 years until he retired in 2010.
He gave the recital in 1993 when the Chapel Trustees opened an organ fund.
The two-manual organ was built by Francis Booth, of Wakefield, one of the leading organ builders of the 19th century and was installed in the gallery of the chapel in 1847.
Its construction came early in Mr Booth's career and when it was dismantled some of the work was found to be rather crude joinery, using fresh wood with knots in it. The soundboards were nailed together with clout nails and glued.
The restoration work, which took more than a year, involved dismantling the organ, taking its many pieces to Wood's workshops and – over a period of several months – painstakingly rebuilding it.
A scaffold tower was brought in to hoist the bellows into the gallery.
The work has been financed by the Pilgrim Trust, Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust and the Chapel Trustees with smaller grants from Yorkshire Unitarian Union and Wakefield Council.
Wood of Huddersfield was founded in 1966 by Philip Wood who had been apprenticed to the organ building firm of Peter Conacher & Co and who had risen to be their area manager in Ireland.
His son, David, joined the firm in 1976 and become the managing director in 1999.
Over the past 50 years Jonathan Bielby has given many organ recitals, each individually devised for the particular instrument, venue and date.
Now that he is retired he divides his time between Yorkshire and Cornwall.
He is honorary secretary of the oldest organists' association in the world, Wakefield & District Organists' Association (founded in 1890) and holds many honours from the musical world.

My Octogenarian Sweetheart
From yesterdays Bush press conference we get this piece of magnificence:
QUESTION (Helen Thomas): I'd like to ask you, Mr. President — your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime.
Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true. My question is: Why did you really want to go to war? From the moment you stepped into the White House, your Cabinet officers, former Cabinet officers, intelligence people and so forth — but what's your real reason? You have said it wasn't oil, the quest for oil. It hasn't been Israel or anything else. What was it?
Of course the president skirted the truth like a mine field. It's a shame he's such a pathetic public speaker. Actually it's kinda funny watching him try to tie 9/11, al qaeda, saddam, and afghanistan together without repeating any of the old discredited lies, which he of course he never said. As a result we get things from him like this:
Part of that meant to make sure that we didn't allow people to provide safe haven to an enemy, and that's why I went into Iraq.
BUSH: Hold on for a second. Excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for Al Qaida.
BUSH: That's where Al Qaida trained and that's where…
QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)
BUSH: Helen, excuse me.
That's where — Afghanistan provided safe haven for Al Qaida.
See? pathetic. (See for yourself.)
Helen Thomas is one of my favorite members of the White House press corp. She's 85, ridiculously sharp, and has a remakably low threshold for bullshit. I'm surprised Bush even called on her. He obviously doesn't watch her daily dance with his press secretary. After the press conference she made an appearance on the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and continued to show why you're never to old to be America's sweetheart.
THOMAS: It doesn't- it doesn't parse. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, it certainly had -- was secular, it was not tied to al Qaeda.
I think he wanted to go into Iraq because he had all the neo- conservatives advising at the top of their agenda for Project for a New American Century. First Iraq, then Iran -- then Syria, then Iran, and so forth.
BLITZER: So you believe even before 9/11, he was about -- he wanted to take out Saddam Hussein?
THOMAS: Oh, I think this is very clear. You couldn't sit in that press room day after day. Every time -- every time it was mentioned by Ari Fleischer or Scott, they would say in one breath, 9/11, Saddam Hussein, 9/11, Saddam Hussein.
BLITZER: Tell our viewers what you are up to nowadays. How you feel and what your goals are right now?
THOMAS: My goals are to seek the truth wherever it leads me. And I do think that's the goal of journalists. And I think we fell down on the job.
BLITZER: The news media in general? That we weren't -- what?
THOMAS: Come back. All is forgiven.
BLITZER: You are going to forgive us? You are part of the news media too.
THOMAS: Right.
BLITZER: We sat in those briefings for a long time together.
THOMAS: You ask very tough questions.
BLITZER: I'm trying to did the best I can, like you.
THOMAS: You asked President Clinton why he wouldn't resign.
BLITZER: I asked him some tough questions. But that's another time and this is another story.
One starts to wonder if perhaps all of the coverage should be by octogenarians, people a little less afraid of the consequences, people who might say, "what the fuck you gonna do to me? fire me? kill me? ah, get outta my face." Failing at building the octogenarian press corp, perhaps the press could just have octogenarians write their questions. I'm still waiting to hear a reporter ask Mike Wallace's question
What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn't want to travel. You knew very little about the military. . . . The governor of Texas doesn't have the kind of power that some governors have. . . . Why do you think they nominated you? . . . Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that the country is so [expletive] up?
What I get from all of this is that if ever I have something to hide I will never let a senior citizen question me in public.
Mr. President, my question is exactly how much mor...

What Success Looks (and Sounds) Like
Too often, people who work exclusively with young professionals lose sight of the ultimate goal and think that excelling in our training environments is the same as possessing the goods to win in the world at large. Fatal mistake.
Kim Witman, Contributor
Director, Wolf Trap Opera Company
Sep 25, 2012, 11:16 AM EDT | Updated Nov 25, 2012
In this March 7, 2012, photo provided by the Metropolitan Opera, Nadja Michael performs in the roll of Lady Macbeth during a dress rehearsal of a revival of Verdi's "Macbeth,'' at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The 43-year-old German commanded the stage as she conveyed her character's vile lust for power and contempt of vulnerability in her debut at the Met Thursday, March 15. (AP Photo/Metropolitan Opera, Marty Sohl)
Knowing where to place the goalposts is the first step.
I run a small opera company whose engine is a small group of prodigiously talented singers, hand-picked during an annual talent search. We choose these people every autumn, then we put together a performance season tailored to their profiles, and they spend the following summer with us -- rehearsing, working, practicing, learning, performing. We are invested in every single one of them, but predictably, some of them are more at home in a training program than others.
Part of getting ready for our annual audition tour is reminding ourselves what success looks like. Too often, people who work exclusively with young professionals lose sight of the ultimate goal and think that excelling in our training environments is the same as possessing the goods to win in the world at large. Fatal mistake.
The challenge is to pick future candidates based not on their likelihood of excelling in this temporary, somewhat artificial environment, but rather on the odds that they will still be distinguishing themselves ten years from now. Seems obvious, but it's surprising how often we confuse these two things. Universities often cater to students who are academic rock stars and then don't give them the tools to survive in the work world. And even in this hybrid young professional environment where I sit, the temptation persists.
And so, as I work through the final several hundred applicants for our upcoming nationwide auditions, I remind myself that hindsight is 20/20. We can't predict career trajectories, but there's much to learn by tracing backward from former singers who are thriving in the "real" world. What do they have in common, artistically and temperamentally? What were their biggest challenges when they were on our turf? Which hills are scalable, and which are deal-breakers?
Then I remind myself of what the goal sounds like. I have a playlist of 1,497 arias (at the moment), representing a wide range of iconic singers performing the gold standard repertoire. I need to remember what it feels and sounds like when a true pro tackles these challenges, rather than only setting my sights on the best possible student version.
And finally, I struggle to put personal preference aside; to be able to recognize when my favorable impression of a singer is the result of their musicianship and personality resonating with my own. It's not about me. It's not even about them at 25. It's about who they will become, and what they can be.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Turner Construction Company recently announced that work on a $48 million, 95,623-square-foot vertical expansion of Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro has commenced.
The plan is to build three floors vertically onto the existing structure, which will be able to house 72 medical-surgical patient rooms along with one floor for possible buildout in the future. Additionally, a two-story horizontal expansion will add on four operation rooms, central sterile space and materials management.
In 2010, Turner Construction completed work on the original 286-bed Saint Thomas Rutherford hospital while putting provisions in place at the time to mitigate any utility interruptions during the future expansion.
The team executed the original project under integrated project delivery (IPD), aiding them in completing the project two months ahead of schedule and also saving $4 million.
Largely, these projects are part of a greater expansion plan to meet the long-term needs of the growing Rutherford County population.
Currently, Turner Construction has been collaborating with Nashville-based Gresham Smith, the handler of the architectural and engineering work, to allow the hospital to remain operational during construction of the new expansion.
To ensure this, Turner worked closely with Gresham Smith to take every possible measure during construction to reduce the impact it has on the hospital's existing space. Moreover, Turner scheduled the project in order for work within the existing medical-surgical wings below the expansion will take place during a low volume periods for the hospital.
To achieve minimizing noise and disruption, electric cranes are being used for the project, and all construction personnel will access the work area from a bulk hoist along with not being permitted to enter through the hospital.
The 52,000-square-foot, three-floor addition to the west patient tower will increase their capacity to 358-beds, improving patient flow and providing additional space for all patient services.
Process efficiency will be reflected in the layouts by utilizing flexible nurse stations, which will create an adaptable space for clinical needs and staff collaboration while promoting safety.
Large windows will flood the space with natural light, creating a healing environment that influence positive patient outcomes.
Turner Construction is also currently working on similar vertical expansion and overbuild work at three actively operating hospitals in Tennessee: Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville and Methodist University Hospital and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis.
Substantial completion is slated for April 2020 for the expansion of Saint Thomas Rutherford's tower and operating room unit, along with the new space expected to open in summer 2020.

Are Great Musicians Born or Made?
We've talked about whether or not the 10,000 rule is real and shortcuts exist to becoming an expert, but what about the theory of inherited talent?
Are you born with certain "gifts" from a higher power or does everyone start out at the same level?
Neuroscientist Gary Marcus set out to determine the answer to this question in his book, Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning.
Despite age and no time spent playing an instrument, he set out to master the guitar. He wanted to ask:
"Could persistence and a lifelong love of music overcome age and a lack of talent? And, for that matter, how did anyone of any age become musical?"
Brain Pickings has an excellent, in-depth article about the findings of Gary Marcus you can check out here.
Maria Popova of Brain Pickings goes on to say that:
"He dives deep into the popular "ten thousand hours" theory of mastery, developed by cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson, "the world's leading expert on expertise," and examines Ericsson's second, lesser-known prerequisite for expertise — the notion of "deliberate practice," which describes the constant sense of self-evaluation and a consistent focus on one's weaknesses rather than playing on one's strengths. In fact, the practice of targeting specific weaknesses is known as the "zone of proximal development" and offers a framework for everything from education to video games."
What do you think? Do you think musical talent is inherent or built over time?

• Most of the Rabbiteye blueberry cultivars were tested for performance before being released for public consumption at a very large isolated farm near the Alapaha River near the Tifton, GA., Coastal Plains Experiment Station by Dr. W. T. Brightwell, Dr. Max Austin and then later, Dr. Scott Nesmith introduced the 'Alapaha' Blueberry cultivar to replace the older, 'Climax' blueberry cultivar that was the most widely planted blueberry. The 'Alapaha' blueberry guaranteed early ripening, sometimes as early as the first week of May. Mechanical harvesting was important to cut labor costs and to rush the fresh berries to the commercial market when the prices were higher.
Great root ball, some fruit set on the plant. Minor breakage during shipping.
I received a healthy flowering plant. Very happy with my purchase and I will recommend this nursery. I ordered 10 blueberries of mixed varieties & am pleased with all of them. They've been in the ground a week now and are doing well.
Beautiful plant that already had flowers on when delivered. Nice and securely packed.

Journal of Business Ethics Education
The Stand Alone Course in Business Ethics
Laura P. Hartman, Edwin M. Hartman
https://doi.org/10.5840/jbee20041212
How to Teach Ethics
Assumptions and Arguments
The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business has called for stronger ethics programs. There are two problems with this battle cry. First, the AACSB rejects, with weak arguments, the single best way to get ethics into the curriculum. Second, the AACSB can only vaguely describe some unpromising alternatives to that strategy. A number of leading business ethicists have challenged the AACSB to defend and clarify its views, to little avail. The proposed Procedures and Standards cannot by themselves bring about any significant change in the teaching of business ethics. There is a gap between the AACSB's professed objectives and the means for achieving the objectives and determining whether they are being achieved. The Statement about Curriculum Content gives great prominence to the teaching of business ethics, but the interpretation of the statement, especially in the standards for measuring achievement, shows how improbable it is that the proposed Procedures and Standards will have the desired impact. We must recognize the constraints on the AACSB as we consider current standards and the controversy over a free-standing course versus an integrated curricular approach. The evident conclusion is a call, not only to the AACSB but to all business school educators, to set the stage for strengthened ethics education rather than to have standards imposed on us from outside.


Saudis Bemoan Poor Image in U.S.
Aren't they cute; just two peas in a pod: the Saudis bemoaning their image in the US and the US bemoaning its image in the Muslims world. From the rest of the word's point of view maybe we should all just get some therapy, since we're all just misunderstood, really. Us Muslims and Americans. As for for American Muslims, Allah help you, you Multiple Personality Disorder victims (which, in this case means that you have multiple dysfunctional personalities, I guess), you poor dears!!
HA HA! Lol. That was really funny.


The story of the tower of Babel came easily to people not familiar with the manner in which languages develop, who sought an explanation for there being different tongues spoken around them. But the project of building a tower whose top would reach to heaven involves what the Greeks would call hubris, which is punished. Those who had sought to avoid being scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth by building the tower have to endure just this, their condition being one of diaspora (diespeiren, Gen 11:8). But this will be overcome. Just as with Gen 1:26, the use of the plural, 'Let us go down', irresistibly suggested to the Fathers a Trinitarian understanding this passage, and so appropriately it will be one particular Person of the Trinity who descends at Pentecost to create a linguistic community in which the speech of others can be understood in the hearer's own language (Acts 2:4-6): 'As he promised, when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles, O Christ, in his own power, he united the divided tongues of the various nations in the single harmony of faith in the undivided Trinity. Come and dwell in us, good lover of mankind, we beseech you.' (Pentekostarion) And so, more broadly, the Church will constitute a community in which the most basic human differences are overcome: 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.' (Gal 3:28; cf Col 3:11) Despite all the evidence to the contrary, this is its deepest reality.

Ahead Of Budget 2022, Households Struggles With Inflation As Incomes Dip
Retail prices have risen nearly 10% in the last two years.
New Delhi: India's households are grappling with rising living costs at a time when jobs and incomes have taken a hit amid the pandemic, but economists are not hopeful the government's annual budget due next week will provide much relief.
Tea, edible oil, pulses, meat, cooking gas and services have gone up by 20%-40% since the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020 – hurting consumers while their incomes have fallen below levels seen before the health crisis.
Retail prices have risen nearly 10% in the last two years compared with 8% in the previous five-and-half years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, an analysis of inflation data compiled by the Ministry of Statistics showed.
PM Modi, who remains popular among voters, plans to raise import tax on more items to support local manufacturing and increase spending on long-term projects.
Economists blame higher taxes, a widening fiscal deficit, Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) easy monetary policy and supply constraints during the pandemic for a sharp rise in prices.
India's government has offered little aid to households except free food grains for the poor.
According to official estimates, average per capita income stands at Rs 93,973 ($1,258) for the current fiscal year ending March, lower than Rs 94,566 before the pandemic.
The unemployment rate was at 7.9% in December, with nearly 35 million people looking for work, a report by Mumbai-based think tank Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) said.
Meanwhile, the economy is projected to grow 9.2% in 2021/22 after a 7.3% contraction the previous year.
The increase in import tariffs on hundreds of goods in the last two years, climbing global crude oil and commodity prices have added to the burden on households.
Cooking gas prices rose 43.36% in two years ending December 2021, compared with a 30.68% rise in the previous five-and-half years, data showed.
However, domestic electricity and education costs rose at a slower pace reflecting a fall in economic activity and the closure of educational institutions during the pandemic.
Inflation is expected to push even higher as manufacturers pass on rising input costs while the central bank delays monetary tightening in efforts to support the economic recovery.
Retail inflation accelerated to a five-month high of 5.59% in December from a year earlier, while wholesale price-based inflation, a proxy for producer prices, marginally eased to 13.56%, but remained in double-digits for nine straight months.
"The Covid period has been a nightmare for Indian workers," said K.R. Shyam Sundar, a labour economist at XLRI, Jamshedpur, and the author of "Impact of Covid-19, reforms and governance on labour rights".
He added that households suffered job losses, fall in incomes and a sharp rise in prices during the pandemic.
"RBI and the government, which have excessively focused on supporting industry and boosting growth, should now take steps to rein in inflation and provide a relief to households."

Rep. Marjorie Greene (Q-Georgia) has issued a press release
By Dan Nexon
In impeachment , Trump
I've graded it.
It's honestly kind of weird to see politicians claim that impeaching a president for fomenting insurrection is divisive. It's even weirder to see those same politicians do so in the context of calling their opponents "Communists" and "Marxist" ideologues for… I dunno… wanting to create more automatic stabilizers and expand Medicaid coverage. It's even yet still weirder in the context of accusing them of wanting to commit cultural genocide against conservatives.
This strikes me as a good time to remind readers of Marco Rubio's official explanation for why he voted to acquit Trump. In it, Rubio argued that:
As Manager Jerry Nadler (D-NY) reminded us Wednesday night, removal is not a punishment for a crime. Nor is removal supposed to be a way to hold Presidents accountable; that is what elections are for.
The sole purpose of this extraordinary power to remove the one person entrusted with all of the powers of an entire branch of government is to provide a last-resort remedy to protect the country. That is why Hamilton wrote that in these trials our decisions should be pursuing "the public good."
I disagree with the House Managers' argument that, if we find the allegations they have made are true, failing to remove the President leaves us with no remedy to constrain this or future Presidents. Congress and the courts have multiple ways by which to constrain the power of the executive. And ultimately, voters themselves can hold the President accountable in an election, including the one just nine months from now.
I also considered removal in the context of the bitter divisions and deep polarization our country currently faces. The removal of the President — especially one based on a narrowly voted impeachment, supported by one political party and opposed by another, and without broad public support — would, as Manager Nadler warned over two decades ago, "produce divisiveness and bitterness" that will threaten our nation for decades.
I'm sure glad we dodged that bullet.
impeachment, radicalism, trump

I always thought that painting by numbers was a commercial way to help non-artists paint.
I was wrong, totally wrong. I came to this realisation as I listened to David Stuart, former Australian Ambassador to Austria, talk about Ferdinand Lukas Bauer at the National Library of Australia on 20 October 2017.
Around the time of this talk I was mixing my own paints and unintentionally giving them numbers. I used these mixed watercolours for my illustrations and then used the numbers to help me create hand painted copies of my own work.
Ferdinand was born in Feldsberg, Austria in 1760 and died in Vienna in 1826.
I found it intriguing how his life was touched by botany and art time and time again. Maybe this is because I find myself drawn again and again to Australian botanical watercolour artists; Dorothy English Paty and Cheryl Hodges. It might also be the influence of Australian writer and illustrator May Gibbs on my childhood and shadowing me and my aspirations to be a children's book author and illustrator. Or it could even be my own love of botany from 10 years of running a Landcare group and identifying native flowers on people's properties.
Ferdinand Lukas Bauer had art in his blood his father had been the court painter to the Prince of Liechtenstein, while his mother drew with pencils. And even though he became an orphan when he was young, the influence of art continued for Ferdinand and his brothers, Joseph and Franz, when they came under the care of Norbart Boccius, Prior of the Feldsberg Monastery. Boccius was a physician and botanist who taught the boys how to draw.
Then as teenagers Ferdinand and Franz went to Vienna and worked with Nikolaus von Jaquiun, Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens. Here Ferdinand learnt about plant classification. Additionally this connection introduced Ferdinand and Franz's drawings and paintings to other important and influential botanists of the time.
Due his connections, Ferdinand was invited to travel with John Sibthorp, Oxford Professor of Botany, to Greece and he contributed drawings to the book Flora Graeca. While Franz was introduced to Joseph Banks, who appointed him to the position of a botanical illustrator at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, England.
It was also Joseph Banks who recommended Ferdinand to travel with Matthew Flinders as the botanical draughtsman for the 1801-1803 expedition on the Investigator.
While the Investigator circumnavigated Australia (then named New Holland) Ferdinand would explore the landscape daily with naturalist Robert Brown, collecting specimens and drawing around 3-4 sketches each day. These sketch included both plants and animals.
Ferdinand rarely added any colour to the sketches when he created them, instead he labelled each part of his drawings with his colour code system. Ferdinand painted the final works in watercolour upon his return to England in 1805.
There is currently an exhibition at the State Library of NSW, Botanical Inspirations, that feature works by Ferdinand Lukas Bauer until 28 January 2018.
Ferdinand used a colour code system to label his fieldwork sketches with numbers to indicate the colours that he would use for the final paintings at a later date. These preparatory sketches were extremely detailed and precise. His flora sketches would often show the internal and reproductive parts of the plants and each of these sections would be assigned a number to indicate the colour that would be used when applying watercolour to the paintings. Ferdinand would apply the colour code method to both his flora and fauna paintings.
Ferdinand would often create the final colour paintings once he had returned home from his travels. We know that he created his Australian sketches between 1801 and 1805 but he didn't paint the watercolour artworks until he returned to England in 1805.
It is thought that Ferdinand and his brothers first used a colour code of around 30 colours during their youth at the Feldsberg Monastery. By the time Ferdinand left Vienna he was using approximately 200 colour codes for his sketches and paintings. To see an example of a colour code see here.
Ferdinand's intricate colour code expanded to around 1000 physical palette colour codes by 1805 and David Stuart spoke about the potential of Ferdinand having a mental palette, of shades and tones, that numbered up to 3000 codes.
It is hard to imagine how Ferdinand remembered the colour code for 1000 colours, 100 codes for red, 100 for yellow, 100 for brown and 200 codes for green.
To view at a sample of Ferdinand's works alongside some of his colour code see here.
Around the time of the National Library talk about Ferdinand Lukas Bauer I was working on my own palette of colours for a new series of watercolour illustrations for an upcoming exhibition.
My first step for developing this palette was selecting a range of colours that I liked from some magazines.
Step two. I created my own version of these colours by mixing my watercolour paints. I then found myself numbering the colours on my sample card to help identify the paints on my palette, I had now created a colour code. Using a code meant that I did not have to remember which paint on the palette matched the paint on the paper, as the colours look very different on the palette to the paper.
The third step for me was using my colour palette to paint the original farmyard animals watercolour illustrations. Rather than create prints of these illustrations for sale for the upcoming exhibition I decided to copy each painting by hand drawing and painting each illustration I used my colour code for each section of the illustration to make each hand painted copy look almost identical to the original.
My own colour code is not as organised and methodical as Ferdinand Bauer's whose red shades are numbered 1 -100 and greens are numbered 401 - 600. While some of my colours and their shades are side by side eg. green 16 & 17, this was more of an accident rather than by design. But it worked well for me and as I am painting in a whimsical style rather than for botanical accuracy my colour code is great for me.

St. Ignatius Parish
St. Ignatius Parish is a historic parish in Winnipeg, MB. It has been under the pastoral care of Jesuits since its founding in 1908.
Archbishop Langevin of St. Boniface created St. Ignatius Parish in 1908. Father Lewis Drummon, S.J., was appointed as its first Pastor. The boundaries laid down were – the north and east by the Assiniboine and Red Rivers, south by Parker Avenue and west by the districts of Tuxedo and Charleswood.
Mass was celebrated for the first time on 16 February, 1908, in a rented store at 109 Osborne Street. A borrowed table served as an altar and 140 parishioners used camp chairs as pews.
Within two months, property was acquired at the corner of McMillan and Nassau streets and a church bought from the Baptists was moved to the site. In November, Father John C. Coffee, S.J., was appointed parish priest.
Property at the corner of Corydon and Stafford, site of the present church, was purchased in 1909. Excavation for the church and school began in September, 1910. The school opened with 19 pupils on 8 January, 1912. Mass was celebrated in the church basement from 17 March on.
In 1928, the school was enlarged to eight rooms and work began on the church's upper structure. Archbishop Sinnott blessed the church in February, 1929.
Father A. J. Primeau, S.J., was pastor from 1934 – 1938 when ill health forced him to retire. He was succeeded by Father R. Cadwallader who was followed by Father Earl Reddin, S.J. in 1939. In 1946, Our Lady of Victory Memorial parish was created and families in the extreme eastern and southern regions became members of that parish. Father R. MacGilvray, S.J. became pastor in 1947 and arranged for a complete renovation of the parish hall in 1949, providing additional facilities including a kitchen. The school was enlarged to 12 rooms also.
The parish was severed when St. John Brebeuf parish was created for River Heights and Tuxedo residents.
Under Jesuit Father V. Shaughnessy, D.H. McLarnon, and R.C. Chase the parish added classrooms, an auditorium, a convent and an administration centre which includes living quarters for the priests.

What is author Bruce Feiler working on now?
—Andrew J., California
Feiler, the author of six books, is currently in the Middle East researching his next book, a Biblical trek through Israel, Iraq and Iran. He's also very involved with the activities surrounding his last book, Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths. "I was in New York on Sept. 11 and watched the Towers fall," he says, explaining how he got the idea for the book Abraham. "I knew that Jews, Christians and Muslims had a shared father in Abraham. Could he be a source of reconciliation?" After the book's release, communities across the country began having "salon" interfaith discussions about Abraham. Each discussion is led by a local moderator who follows a professional study guide. The discussions have been held in homes, bookstores, churches, synagogues, mosques and libraries. "I wanted to get 50 of these conversations going on around the country, but 5,000 people have started these dialogues, so it's really quite boomed," says Feiler, 39. "It's a way to sit down and have an easy and safe interfaith discussion." Feiler has done little sitting himself as he's traveled to more than 60 countries on five continents, immersing himself in different cultures and experiences. His first book described his experiences teaching in a small Japanese town and his third depicted the year he was a circus clown. The Yale graduate also has written books on country music and his year at Cambridge University. He's now working on a documentary based on his best-selling book, Walking The Bible: A Journey By Land Through the Five Books of Moses. He returned to his hometown of Savannah, Ga., in July to marry Linda Rottenberg. Feiler, who lives in New York City, enjoys reading, juggling and collecting masks from around the world.
