Noah Malone, Legally Blind Sprinter, Commits To Indiana State
By Blythe Lawrence | Dec. 08, 2019, 9:50 a.m. (ET)
Noah Malone competes at the Parapan American Games Lima 2019 on Aug. 28, 2019 in Lima, Peru.
Sprinter Noah Malone, the legally blind teen who helped the U.S. make history at the World Para Athletics Championships last month, is taking his next step. The 18-year-old high school senior announced Saturday that he has committed to Indiana State University, where he plans to make a run at next summer's Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
Malone, who has Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a genetic disorder that affects the optic nerve and has caused him to lose most of his sight, is one of very few visually impaired athletes to commit to a Division I school.
The AAU Junior Olympic competitor was already drawing attention as one of the top young sprinters in the country when he noticed that something was off with his sight on his first day of eighth grade. An initial belief that Malone just needed glasses led to him being diagnosed with LHON, for which there is no cure.
That was 2015.
"It was very stressful at first, because I was like, 'Am I still going to be able to run track?' And then once the track season came around, coaches and everything, we changed the workouts and changed just how I trained, because I couldn't see things," the Fishers, Indiana, resident and Hamilton Southeastern High School/Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired senior said in a recent interview with TownePost LIVE. "After all those changes, I started to learn that I could still run track, and at the same level I was at. So I was really fortunate."

His impairment has necessitated some adjustments: Malone once fractured his ankle stepping on a starting block he didn't see when running a 200-meter, an experience he says taught him to be more aware of everything around him. He now walks the track before meets, making mental notes where the lines are, and coaches give him audible cues as races progress. What hasn't been affected is his speed.
Running the leadoff leg of the 4x100 universal relay at November's Para World Championships in Dubai, a race where teams are comprised of racers with visual, limb and neurological impairments and anchored by a wheelchair racer, Malone set the tone. The team of Malone, Deja Young, Jaleen Roberts and Erik Hightower blazed past China and Russia, grabbing the United States's first ever world title in the event.
Individually, Malone's personal best in the 100 meters, 10.7 seconds, would have won him gold in the T12 classification at the Paralympic Games Rio 2016.
Crouched on the starting line, Malone can see only a few feet in front of him looking straight ahead, though objects are blurry if he looks directly at them. He has learned to deal.
"Knowing for myself that yeah, I can still run, and not only still run but run at a great level, that was really the most important thing for me," he told TownePost, "because at one point I didn't know if I could run track at all."
The future looks bright indeed.

Family Law Week: Care Proceedings: the Operation and Effect of Pre-Proceedings – What do lawyers need to know?
Professor Judith Masson, School of Law University of Bristol, and Dr Jonathan Dickens, Centre for Research on Children and Families, University of East Anglia, explain the lessons learned for future practice from research conducted into the use of the pre-proceedings process in care cases.
The introduction of the new PLO from July of this year is the latest in a series of attempts to ensure that care proceedings are determined in accordance with the 'overriding objective' fairly, making proportionate use of the court's resources and within the child's timescale. There is a new and stronger emphasis on speedy decision-making; the target for completion is 26 weeks (as proposed by the Family Justice Review and included in the Children and Families Bill) but extensions of up to 8 weeks at a time will be allowed with 'specific justification' so that cases to be decided justly (para 6.2). Local authorities must prepare so that cases can progress when proceedings are issued, and the court must ensure that proceedings are more focused, seeking additional assessments only if they are necessary to determine the issues to be decided. The structure of care proceedings is revised: the CMH after 12 days with the possibility of a Further CMH before day 20; the court has more flexible powers, including to give directions without a hearing; and a cafcass/ cafcass Cymru initial assessment is to be available (possibly orally) at the CMH.
Mere changes in the structure of proceedings have not previously been able to deliver more timely decisions for children. As the President has indicated, a change of culture is required. Cases will have to be handled differently both in local authorities before proceedings start and in/for court while they are continuing. Care proceedings can be determined in less time, the work of the Triborough scheme has shown this with more than half of cases completing in under 26 weeks at the last count. The President has recently emphasised the vital importance of the pre-proceedings stage. Recently published research shows the value of this work for parents, and highlights the need for courts to take proper account of it so as to avoid additional delays for children.
What is the pre-proceedings process?
The pre-proceedings process for care proceedings was introduced with the original PLO, in April 2008, with the aim of diverting cases from care proceedings, or if that was not possible, improving local authority preparation and narrowing the issues so that cases could be decided more quickly, within the 40 week target. A revised version of the Children Act 1989 Guidance, Volume 1, Court Orders (DCSF 2008) set out a new process for local authorities to follow unless 'the scale, nature and urgency of the local authority's safeguarding concerns are such that [it is] not in the child's interests' to do so (para 3.30). Under the new process, the local authority was first required to take legal advice to establish whether the requirements for court applications and orders are met. It should then send a 'letter before proceedings' to the parents, outlining its concerns and inviting them to a pre-proceedings meeting. The letter entitles parents to level 2 legal aid, currently £364, so that they can obtain legal advice and be accompanied by their lawyer to the meeting. Following the meeting, the local authority was required to send a revised plan for the child, setting out what the parents must do to safeguard the child and the action the local authority would take if they do not keep to this. The letter before proceedings had to be filed with the local authority's care application but the PLO gave no further guidance about how the court should respond to them.
How is the pre-proceedings process working?
In April 2010, a team from the Law School at University of Bristol and the Social Work School at University of East Anglia began a research project, funded by the ESRC (Grant No RES 062-23-2226), to examine the operation and impact of the pre-proceedings process. The report of the research has been published and a 4 page summary is also available. This article provides key points on the operation of the process for lawyers who act in care proceedings.
The research explored practice in six local authorities in England and Wales, and the courts they used, through an examination of local authority files and court bundles; interviews with lawyers, social workers and managers; a focus group with judges; observations of pre-proceedings meetings; and interviews with parents who attended them. There were over 200 cases in the file study, over 50 interviews with local authority staff, 19 interviews with lawyers in private practice and 24 interviews with parents. The file sample cases all started in 2009 with legal advice that a case could be made for care proceedings. Observations took place in 2010 and 2011, and cases were followed up briefly before the end of the study to find out what happened.
The combination of methods means that the study provides a good picture of the use being made of the process, the practice in pre-proceedings meetings, the experiences of parents, and the impact on cases and on court decision-making. Practice varied between, and within, local authorities, as should be expected where the social workers and managers are seeking to respond to individual parents and their child's circumstances. There was no single standard way of working but there were some common practices, attitudes and difficulties. The size of the study means that we expect it covers the range of practices, experiences and impacts.
What use are local authorities making of the pre-proceedings process?
The local authorities in the study were using the pre-proceedings process in almost all cases where there was time to do so. Where the process was not used, care proceedings were generally issued within 15 days of the legal planning meeting, indicating there was insufficient time for the process. Staff in these local authorities, both lawyers and social workers, were generally positive about the pre-proceedings process. They saw it as the right, respectful way to work with parents facing probable care proceedings, and felt that legal advice at this stage was useful for parents, and for them.
Sending a letter before proceedings did not mean the social worker thought that care proceedings could be avoided. Local authorities used two different forms of the pre-proceedings letter: the standard letter, set out in the 2008 Guidance headed 'HOW TO AVOID GOING TO COURT', and a 'letter of intent' indicating that care proceedings would be issued. Letters of intent were less common, around one in five of the letters seen, but one of the local authorities used them in a quarter of its cases, and they were frequently used in cases relating to unborn children where a child had been removed previously. Attached to the pre-proceedings letter were the local authority's concerns, this could be a long and detailed list of failings and incidents or headlines relating to the main issues.
Two features were common in cases where the pre-proceedings process was used: (1) Almost all the children had child protection plans; this was true for less than half of the cases taken directly to court. Local authorities used the pre-proceedings process as 'a step up' from ordinary child protection planning, to mark the seriousness of their concerns or where parents had not responded sufficiently to the child protection plan. (2) Thirty per cent of the cases related to unborn babies; the pre-proceedings process provided a framework for working with parents in these cases and enabled parents to have legal advice when crucial matters were discussed such as co-operation with pre-birth assessment or the baby's care after discharge from hospital. These are high risk cases; the vulnerability of new babies means that lack of parental co-operation with a protection plan may lead to a decision to remove the child. Criticism of local authorities for using Children Act 1989, s.20 accommodation (R (G) v Nottingham CC  EWHC 152 (Admin), Coventry CC v C  EWHC 2190 (Fam)) has made it more important for the local authority to ensure that parents have legal advice.
Although the most common use of the pre-proceedings process was to avoid care proceedings by improving parenting and the children's care, it was also used to discuss parents' agreement to alternative care with relatives or foster carers, to assessment or to the provision of services. These issues were not necessarily separate; both alternative care and the provision of services might be discussed as a way of avoiding proceedings. One local authority made substantial use of the process to get parents' agreement to assessments by an external agency; this was the main aim in nearly half of its pre-proceedings cases. Others did this only infrequently, and had largely ceased trying to complete assessments that would satisfy the court because of negative experiences in proceedings and the need to control their costs.
Local authorities were more likely to send letters before proceedings to mothers than fathers. Where parents were living together, a joint letter was usually sent; only 40% of separated fathers were sent letters. There are many reasons why fathers might be excluded – unknown identity or whereabouts, lack of involvement, concern for the mother's safety etc. It is also common for children's services to focus on mothers to the exclusion of fathers.
Parents reported being shocked when they received the letter and alarmed at its contents, even though these frequently reflected existing child protection plans and they had often been informed in advance. Seeing the local authority's concerns in writing brought home the seriousness of their position. The letter was a 'wake up call' even though many harboured views that the local authority had no business interfering in their family and that they were being unfairly targeted.
Despite advice that the letter should be taken to a solicitor and accompanied, usually, by a list of solicitors who did this work, a few parents saw no need for this. Others experienced difficulty contacting a solicitor, and some had to approach several before finding one to act for them. One reason for this could have been the limited number of 'matter starts' a firm had, and a practice of rationing these each month. Another was the limited number of solicitors' firms in the locality; mothers found their chosen firm was acting (or had acted) for the father.
What happens at pre-proceeding meetings?
It was not unusual for lawyers to get very little notice of the meeting, because these were arranged at short notice or because parents had not contacted them promptly. Local authorities were generally very accommodating in changing meeting dates so that a lawyer could attend with the parents. Distance could make it difficult for a parent to meet their lawyer in advance; local authorities responded to this by arranging meetings to allow lawyers and parents to talk before the start.
Meetings were quite small, most commonly with only seven participants but local authority staff generally outnumbered family members and their advisers. They were relatively short; three-quarters lasted only 45 minutes, but in one study LA were generally much longer, lasting an hour and a half or more. Parents and professionals generally saw these as social work meetings, and the discussion was largely between the social worker/ manager and the parent. However, the presence of lawyers made parents and social workers see these meetings as more serious.
In some cases, local authorities arranged review meetings. These were used to monitor parents' progress and also to inform them that proceedings would be started where concerns had not been addressed. Lawyers also attended some review meetings. Discussions of the arrangements for the first hearing could ensure that the lawyer was aware of the local authority's plans and sufficient court time was booked.
What do parents' lawyers do at pre-proceedings meetings?
The role of the lawyer was to provide advice – before, during and after the meeting – and to support parents in the process, rather than to provide representation. The parents who were interviewed said that their lawyer's presence made them feel more confident and able to speak directly. This did not necessarily prevent parents feeling pressured to agree with proposals and plans when the alternative appeared to be a court application, but it did provide independent advice about the alternatives. Sally Fry did not want her baby to live with her mother (who was already caring for her older children under a SGO) while she completed a substance abuse programme. But fostering with the grandmother was the best for the baby. Lawyers generally said very little in meetings, nevertheless they had an important role monitoring proposals, checking that the local authority's requirements were clear, and parents really felt they could comply. There appeared to be little room for negotiation but social work managers were willing to accept some moderation of draft agreements 'at the edges'. Lawyers also had a calming influence, and sometimes arranged 'time out' to avoid a damaging loss of control by their client.
Most but not all the parents' representatives were qualified solicitors, the others were paralegals, legal executives or trainees. Effective support was not confined to qualified solicitors, knowledgeable paralegals, who had the confidence of their clients and could communicate well with them could be effective. However, some clients were poorly served by people who appeared to have little understanding of social work practice or their client's position.
What is the effect of the pre-proceedings process?
There were no care proceedings in a quarter of the file cases where a standard pre-proceedings letter was sent. An even higher proportion of observed cases were diverted from care proceedings. This is a remarkably positive outcome given the nature of the concerns and often the length of the family's involvement with Children's Services. In two-thirds of these cases, parental care improved sufficiently for proceedings to be avoided. In half of these the improvements in care and co-operation were substantial. In the other half, improvements were more limited, and other factors such as the difficulties of bringing a case based on past incidents or uncertainty about evidence also influenced the decision. In the remaining third of cases, alternative arrangements for the child's care were agreed, or achieved by the other parent making a s.8 application. Children generally went to live with relatives but some were fostered under s.20. Sally Fry did not succeed in controlling her drug use; her baby stayed with the grandmother, who was considering a SGO application.
Improvements in parental care occurred where parents came to understand the seriousness of the concerns, used the services offered and made some changes in their lives. Effective pre-proceedings meetings provided a foundation for this. A good relationship with the social worker and motivation to change were crucial. Parents' lawyers acted as a catalyst – helping clients to see the seriousness of their position and feel that they could do something about it. In a few cases a lawyer's assistance was more direct: Mrs Mahmood's solicitor encouraged her to obtain and extend injunctions against her husband. This, together with her participation in a 'Freedom programme' and social work support, enabled Mrs Mahmood to understand the effects of domestic violence on her children and herself, and to demonstrate this to Children's Services. This took time, the pre-proceedings process lasted 18 months and the child protection plans continued after the process ended.
Where care proceedings were not avoided, the pre-proceedings process could result in a substantial delay in court applications. On average, the period between the legal planning meeting and the care application was almost 6 months for cases with pre-proceedings but only 2 months for cases without. The suggestion that the pre-proceedings process does not give parents sufficient time to show improvements was not supported by the research evidence but incidents before or after the pre-proceedings meeting precipitated application to court in some cases.
Court proceedings were not dealt with more speedily where the pre-proceedings process had been used. Indeed, there was no difference in the average length of proceedings. Courts adopted a start again approach, apparently discounting what had happened during the pre-proceedings stage. This in turn made local authorities very reluctant to commission further assessments before a court application. Overall, the process met the aim of diverting cases from proceedings, but had no discernible effect on court proceedings. Similar proportions of cases were contested and the proportions of the different types of order were the same.
What are the important messages for parents' lawyers?
Parents who receive a pre-proceedings letter have 'a last chance' to avoid care proceedings. Taking this chance means making changes, particularly co-operating with Children's Services. It is not possible to predict accurately which parents will succeed. Lawyers will help by making sure clients understand the importance of co-operation and are realistic about being able to keep any agreement they sign. Some clients may need more support than Children's Services appear to offer. Negotiating for additional services (within reason) may be helpful but will strengthen the local authority's case if parents fail to make use of these.
Quite a long period may elapse between the meeting and any proceedings. No news may be good news for a client, but only if they are consistently managing to provide good enough care and engaging with Children's Services, rather than simply building the local authority's case.
The majority of parents who receive a pre-proceedings letter do not avoid care proceedings, and most care proceedings result in parents losing care of their children. Relative placements are increasingly common; over a quarter of cases ended with residence orders (usually to a parent who had not had care at the start of proceedings) or special guardianship, and some children on care orders were placed with relatives. Identifying a relative who can care before proceedings are started can help to minimize the disruption for children.
Clients may be well served by an unqualified person, but only if that person has the knowledge, temperament and skills to work effectively with Children's Services and with parents in extreme difficulty. Providing pre-proceedings advice is not a single event, continuity of adviser is likely to increase parents' confidence in the person acting for them.
There are very few (if any) parents who benefit from being parties to care proceedings.
Shorter care proceedings make it even more important that parents are helped to address the local authority's concerns at the pre-proceedings stage. Few parents are able to demonstrate change during care proceedings. Shorter proceedings will mean it is even harder to do so.


Melbourne and beaches doesn't seem to rhyme together since if we talk about Melbourne, its well-known for delicious coffee and food, shopping places, sports and arts and festivals. For backpackers and even for some of the locals doesn't even know that there were more must-visit beaches in Melbourne other than the popular St Kilda and Brighton.
Since Melbourne is one of the busiest and most populous cities in Australia, the city residents are used in such a fast paced environment and sometimes forget to take a deep breath and relax. People do different activities and have go-to places to unwind. But, one thing is for sure – the beach is always a crowd favorite. Nothing can beat the feeling of sand on your toes and the saltwater on your skin on a beautiful sunny day.
If you are in Melbourne here's some reason why you have to discover some beaches in the city and choose vitamin sea when you want to relieve stress. Here are five reasons why.
Looking at the ocean has a calming effect which helps lower your stress levels. Since one can associate the colour blue with feelings of calm, peace, freedom and order, seeing the blue water can improve your mood.
According to Richard Shuster, being at the beach and staring at the blue waters can change the frequency of our brain waves. This, in return, helps put people into a mild meditative state. Shuster is a PsyD and a clinical psychologist who also hosts The Daily Helping podcast.
Vitamin D deficiency can make you feel down and gloomy. As it turns out, if you mostly spend your days indoors or have no time to go out in the sun, you may be lacking Vitamin D. So if you're feeling down, apply your sunscreen on and head on to the beach for an instant mood booster. Don't forget to shop for cute Rashie women's and you're good to go.
Every day, we experience overstimulation from our surroundings, the stress we endure and the amount of work we have to finish. According to Wallace J. Nichols, "The simplified sounds and clear visuals give us a cognitive break. Since we need to process a considerably lesser amount of information at the beach, we are offering our brain the time to rest.
With so many fun activities to do at the beach, you get to exercise and stay active while having a good time. One can go swimming, kayaking, surfing, and snorkelling which are excellent ways to relax and unwind while putting your muscles to work.
Swimming, in particular, offers lots of health benefits. It helps promote healthy heart and lungs. It helps tone your muscles and build muscle strength. It also helps maintain a healthy weight since it puts almost all of your to work. Swimming is the best exercise because of all the perks one can get from doing this fun activity.
Aside from having sand as a natural exfoliator, saltwater has skin benefits. It can help people with some skin issues. Since it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it can clean minor wounds, relieve pain and treat some skin conditions.
The five items listed above are some of the best reasons why we tend to go to the beach when we want to relieve stress and unwind. Since the beach is a lot calmer and is more peaceful than any other places, it's no wonder why many of us choose to go to this piece of paradise when dealing with stress overload. Which beach in Melbourne is your favourite go-to destination?

Q: Derivations annihilated by powers of the augmentation ideal Consider an augmented commutative ring $R$, with augmentation ideal $\varpi$. Let $\delta$ be a derivation of $R$. The example I have in mind is $R=\mathbb F_p[x]/(x^{p^i})$ and $\delta=d/dx$, though I would like statements as general as possible.
I would like to know whether $\varpi^m f=0$ implies $\varpi^{m+1}\delta(f)=0$.
My intuition is that $\delta$ maps $\varpi^m$ to $\varpi^{m-1}$, so somehow "divides by $\varpi$". I have found neither proof of the above statement nor counter-example.
Bonus questions: is the property true for local rings ($\varpi$ is the unique maximal ideal)? graded local rings?
Many thanks in advance!

A: For the sake of completeness, here is the proof I suggested in the comments,
in some more detail.
Lemma 1. Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a commutative ring. Let $A$ be a $\mathbf{k}
$-algebra. Let $I$ be a two-sided ideal of $A$. Let $f:A\rightarrow A$ be a
derivation. Then, $f\left(  I^{n+1}\right)  \subseteq I^{n}$ for every
$n\in\mathbb{N}$.
Lemma 1 is Proposition 1.21 in my Collected trivialities on algebra
derivations, where I prove it by straightforward induction on $n$.
Now, your claim follows from the following fact:
Corollary 2. Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a commutative ring. Let $A$ be a
$\mathbf{k}$-algebra. Let $I$ be a two-sided ideal of $A$. Let $f:A\rightarrow
A$ be a derivation. Let $a\in A$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$ be such that $I^{n}a=0$.
Then, $I^{n+1}f\left(  a\right)  =0$.
Proof of Corollary 2. We must prove that $I^{n+1}f\left(  a\right)  =0$. In
other words, we must prove that $gf\left(  a\right)  =0$ for every $g\in
I^{n+1}$. So let us fix $g\in I^{n+1}$. We have $f\left(  \underbrace{g}_{\in
I^{n+1}}\right)  \in f\left(  I^{n+1}\right)  \subseteq I^{n}$ (by Lemma 1),
and thus $f\left(  g\right)  a\in I^{n}a=0$. In other words, $f\left(
g\right)  a=0$.
But $\underbrace{g}_{\in I^{n+1}=II^{n}}a\in I\underbrace{I^{n}a}_{=0}=0$, so
that $ga=0$.
Since $f$ is a derivation, we have $f\left(  ga\right)  =gf\left(  a\right)
+\underbrace{f\left(  g\right)  a}_{=0}=gf\left(  a\right)  $. Hence,
$gf\left(  a\right)  =f\left(  \underbrace{ga}_{=0}\right)  =f\left(
0\right)  =0$. This is exactly what we wanted to prove. Thus, Corollary 2 holds.

2015 NBA Draft Suits: Grades for the Best and Worst Draft-Day Attire
Laura Depta@lauradeptaTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistJune 26, 2015
Kathy Willens/Associated Press
Over the years, the NBA draft has morphed into something like the Academy Awards. Basketball's brightest young stars take the stage for their big moment, and, naturally, they want to look their best.
Contemporary NBA draft fashion is about making a statement. Players want to stand out, in a good way. They want to be remembered, but not for being tacky. Some even want to add a personal touch.
The perfect draft outfit is all about calculated risk—finding that delicate balance between bold and classic (think Dwyane Wade at the Met Gala). High marks will go to those who simultaneously achieved originality and class. Lower marks will go to anyone who either pushed the envelope too far or not far enough.
Like the Oscars, accessories count too. Think of this as a weighted grading system: shoes and jewelry count, but the suit is the heavy hitter.
Who was memorable without being laughable? Who nailed the effortlessly cool look, and who should probably stick to basketball shorts? Style is all a matter of opinion, and the following are mine.
Warning: Prepare for a lot of photos of Adam Silver.
No. 1: Karl-Anthony Towns
This is the type of suit people will either love or hate. After all, when it's likely you'll go No. 1, there is even more pressure to make a statement.
Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns succeeded where Andrew Wiggins failed last year, however. Towns toed that line between original and tacky, and he came out on the right side of it.
It definitely looked like a Magic Eye poster, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Plus, the decision to forego a tie was a good one—let that jacket shine.
No. 2: D'Angelo Russell
Suit game is on point so far.
Depending on where a player went to college, sporting the alma mater colors can be risky business. Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell pulled it off rather well, though.
His red jacket/white pant suit combo was bold, adventurous and, best of all, personal. A man who can pull off bright colors will do well in a city like Los Angeles.
The one critique here is that the outfit was just a bit busy. One less showy feature—perhaps losing the pocket square or slippers, for example—and this would've been an A+.
No. 3: Jahlil Okafor
Jahlil Okafor's suit looked like a well-tailored nod to a Hugh Hefner robe, and you know what? It sort of worked. The stars added a nice speck of (Philadelphia 76ers?) flair, but the bow tie wasn't my favorite.
All in all, not bad. To be fair, given how Towns and Russell came out of the gate, the bar was pretty high.
No. 4: Kristaps Porzingis
New York Knicks fans did not like this pick, but maybe the booing was more about Kristaps Porzingis' suit? It's unfortunate he had to go right after Okafor, who wore a version of the same duds, only better. For one thing, Okafor's choice to go with black pants worked much better than Porzingis' all-burgundy ensemble.
I appreciate going for something bold with the leather lapels, but unfortunately, it's just a little movie-theater-usher-esque. I also appreciate it's difficult to find a perfectly fitting suit when you're almost 7 feet tall, but the jacket looked a smidge big.
Grade: D
No. 6: Willie Cauley-Stein
Willie Cauley-Stein had me until the peace-sign chain. The Kentucky-colored, polka-dot bow tie provided a needed splash of color on an otherwise pretty basic (yet very sharp) suit, but a gaudy chain like that? That is a throwback to another, much less fashionable time, my friend. Accessories brought this one down.
No. 7: Emmanuel Mudiay
Emmanuel Mudiay said LeBron James' all-white suit in 2003 made him realize that, at the NBA draft, suit game matters.
And you know what? He did OK. His suit fit well, and despite its basic color, the inside of the suit jacket was pretty special. Stitched inside were flags of his native Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as China, where he's been playing his pro ball.
A black shirt collar was a nice touch, but that colorful pocket square was a little too obvious. It felt like a last-minute "Oh shoot, there's no color on my suit" fix.
No. 8: Stanley Johnson
Stanley Johnson's outfit choice was sharp but a little casual. It looked more like something you'd wear to a fancy brunch than the NBA draft. That said, his clothes fit well, and his tie was boss. Loved the tie.
No. 9: Frank Kaminsky
Frank Kaminsky's suit may or may not have been from J.C. Penney, and you know what? The Wooden Award winner looked good.
The light gray was sharp, and the 7-footer managed to make sure his suit fit pretty well. I would've liked to see a different tie/pocket square color choice, however. Top to bottom, it was a little bland. Plus, he pretty much wore the same thing as Adam Silver, which is never ideal, since Silver was probably just trying to blend in.
The tank patches inside the jacket were awesome though, single-handedly bumping him up from a B- to a solid B.
No. 10: Justise Winslow
Duke's Justise Winslow looked sharp. The rich blue color of his suit was gorgeous. He nailed a classic look, and he did it so well I can forgive a lack of risks here.
With that fashion sense, Winslow is going to fit right in with Dwyane Wade (probably) in Miami.
No. 11: Myles Turner
Nathaniel S. Butler/Getty Images
There was a little nod to LeBron James—just a little one—in this draft. Unlike King James in 2003, however, Myles Turner added some color to his white jacket.
Pink is always a bold choice, and it looked good in places, but there was maybe just a little too much of it—pants, bow tie, shirt and pocket square—all in different shades. The whole thing might've worked a little better with a light gray suit. Points for effort, though.
No. 12: Trey Lyles
Trey Lyles' suit was definitely not bad, but the accent color was a little bleh. Then again, it sort of gave me a Peewee Herman vibe, which was awesome.
The gray suit was sharp, but I just would like to have seen it brightened up with a little more pizazz in the accents. Overall, it was about average.
No. 13: Devin Booker
The boys in blue were on point this year. Kentucky's Devin Booker looked super sharp in that bright, but not too bright, blue suit. At first, the tie looked like a couch from the basement of That '70s Show, but upon further consideration, it definitely had a cool hipster vibe. Booker just looked crisp. Nicely done. The only reason this one isn't an A+ was that chain.
No. 14: Cameron Payne
Cameron Payne's draft suit was an achievement in originality that's not offensive. The whole thing had a nautical feel without being too overt about it: a double-breasted indigo jacket, white pants and gold buttons. Russell Westbrook is probably going to dig this guy in Oklahoma City.
For real, though, what is with the slippers?
No. 15: Kelly Oubre
I've never been a big fan of shiny suits. Lionel Messi just ruined it for everyone. Plus, the pattern mixing with Kelly Oubre's shirt and tie was a bit much. But let's be honest, it didn't really matter what the suit looked like, because those shoes.
What was the thought behind those bad boys? Was Oubre trying to have a Wizard of Oz, "no place like home" moment? Punish anyone who stepped on his toes? No idea.
The suit was not good, but the shoes were memorable. That's what saved this one from falling into D-range.
Grade: C-
No. 18: Sam Dekker
Sam Dekker looked sharp and not too flashy—at first glance, kind of what you'd expect from a Wisconsin guy. Then again, the navy/purple combination was a smart choice. Dekker exceeded expectations here with a dash of unexpected originality.
Unrelated: If that's as adventurous as he gets, he might not quite fit in with trendsetter James Harden in Houston.
No. 19: Jerian Grant
Light gray is a great look, especially this time of year. Jerian Grant's bright red tie and flower were perfect additions to that crisp suit. It was reminiscent of Justise Winslow back at No. 10 in its brilliant simplicity.
However, I did say originality counts, so I can't go all the way to the top with his grade.
No. 22: Bobby Portis
Bobby Portis went to Arkansas, so I dug the Razorback pride displayed in his suit choice. The maroon was a little played-out by this time in the draft, but the gray tie was an excellent choice and the pocket square was killer.
While the color wasn't great, this was the best burgundy/maroon look of the night.
No. 23: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
I don't give out failing grades lightly, but Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's pants just screamed for an F.
Not to state the obvious, but they were pajamas—Christmas-morning pajamas. Plus, black doesn't always go with everything. The tuxedo-esque top of this ensemble just seemed completely detached from the bottom.
Yes, he took a chance, but it just didn't pan out.
No. 29: Chris McCullough
Chris McCullough wasn't invited to the green room, but hey, he was in the building. His jacket and tie had a great vintage look, but the white pants were a mistake. Instead of coming across as hip and modern, the whole look failed to make it into the 21st century.
No. 30: Kevon Looney
Well, he was the last pick of the first round, but going to a champion was probably worth the wait for Kevon Looney.
There was nothing special about his suit, but it fit well and he looked good (especially with the look of relief on his face).


The government has been accused of "pushing the cost of failure on to local people" after ministers gave bankrupt, Tory-controlled Northamptonshire special dispensation to raise council tax above normal limits to help balance its books.
The secretary of state for housing, communities and local government, James Brokenshire, announced on Tuesday that the stricken county council would be allowed to raise the council tax rate to 5% in 2019-20 to try and turn around its troubled finances.
Although a number of other councils have also asked Brokenshire for dispensation to raise council tax beyond the current 2.99% limit, he said he had rejected their request to protect council taxpayers, in line with the Tory manifesto.
The Northampton North Labour parliamentary candidate, Sally Keeble, accused the government of "pushing the price of local Tory failure on to local people with an extra 2% council tax rise in Northants".
The council leader, Matt Golby, welcomed the offer and said the cabinet would decide whether to take up the flexibility early next month. Doing so could potentially raise £5.78m.
However, with the council pushing through drastic service cuts and job losses, and facing criticism over proposed library closures and failures in its child protection department, the potential increase may not go down well with local taxpayers.
Councils normally must hold a referendum if they wish to raise council tax beyond the 2.99% limit. No local authority has taken up the option, despite many facing financial problems.
Northamptonshire declared itself effectively bankrupt in February after it could not balance its books. It declared insolvency again in July after a review revealed it had understated the extent of its financial problems and faced a £70m deficit.
The council is to be scrapped after a scathing inspectors report last March revealed widespread governance and management failures. The report ruled out a government bailout on the grounds that this would be a "reward for failure".
Ironically, one of the elements attributed to Northamptonshire's financial crisis was its decision not to put up council tax over several years earlier this decade, in line with the promptings of the then Tory communities secretary, Eric Pickles.
Brokenshire told MPs in a statement he had decided to provide Northamptonshire with an additional 2% council tax flexibility to "assist with the improvements to council governance and services after their serious issues".
The move follows Brokenshire's decision in November to give Northamptonshire unprecedented permission to divert £60m received from the sale of its HQ into funding day-to-day services, a move regarded by critics as being in effect a bailout.

Q: Python Start counting array of length x starting from second item and finishing on the first one In Python
I have an array of length x.
let
array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
I want to get from the array above the result like this:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0]
So basically i wan't to skip the first term and loop it after the array ends and stop on the last skipped term.
I'm pretty new to python, so couldn't figure it out on on my own + googling didn't help.
Help please,
Much appreciated!

A: Use slicing and append().
lst = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
new_lst = lst[1:]
new_lst.append(lst[0])

You could also use new_lst.extend(lst[:1]), though when the head slice is a single element, append(lst[0]) is probably slightly more efficient, since you don't have to construct another temporary list just to wrap a single value.  lst[1:] + list[:1] is probably the worst though, since it has to create yet another throw away list object compared to the extend() version.

A: I would go with slicing, but another option (which is normally overkill for something this simple is using a collections.deque)
Small example:
>>> e =  [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> from collections import deque
>>> d = deque(e)
>>> d
deque([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> d.rotate(1)
>>> d
deque([5, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> d.rotate(-2)
>>> d
deque([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0])

A: e =  [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

e.append(e.pop(0))

Why people don't think immediately to in-place transformations ???

A: Yet another way, which might be more general.  Couldn't think of a good name...
def iterate_from(l, start):
    for i in range(start, len(l)):
        yield l[i]
    for i in range(start):
        yield l[i]

I got the following output:
In [39]: iterate_from(range(7), 3)
Out[39]: <generator object iterate_from at 0x120259b40>

In [40]: list(iterate_from(range(7), 3))
Out[40]: [3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 1, 2]

A: when you loop thru your list, don't even need new variable for that
for i in my_list[1:] + my_list[:1]:
    print i,

print
for i in my_list:
    print i,

will return:
1 2 3 4 5 0
0 1 2 3 4 5

This way you don't make any changes to original my_list.
Also, take a look over here: Explain Python's slice notation

A: Use slices to get the portions of the list you are interested in, and then add them together:
>>> lst = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> lst[1:] + lst[:1]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0]

lst[1:] will give you everything from the first index (inclusive) to the end of the list.
lst[:1] will give you everything from the beginning of the list to the first index (exclusive).  (This is equivalent to [lst[0]])

All the Beautiful Liars
Sylvia Petter (Author)
As a child in Australia in the Fifties, Katrina Klain is taunted in the playground as a Nazi, long before she knows what the word means. Her German mother and her Austrian father seem to be ordinary people who simply ended up on the wrong side of history, but Katrina yearns to know more about her origins. Leaving the New World behind as soon as she can, she heads to Vienna, where she imagines her Germanic name will no longer be a burden, armed with what turns out to be an inexhaustible list of questions. Is the sleazy uncle exiled to Spain a crook or a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance? Why does her father insist his brother is dead? And is her cousin in East Germany really a Stasi agent? Decades later, during a long flight back to Australia, Katrina attempts to reassemble the pieces of the puzzle she has spent so long researching. In her dream-like version of an in-flight movie, a mysterious other-worldly guide seems to know - and have control over - her own future. Told in a thrillingly inventive narrative style, Sylvia Petter's debut novel is a powerful, pacy tale about making peace with the past, which also paints a richly evocative picture of Central Europe in the early decades after the war.
Sylvia Petter was born in Vienna but grew up in Australia, which makes her Austr(al)ian. She started writing fiction in 1993 and has published three story collections, The Past Present, Back Burning and Mercury Blobs. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of New South Wales. After living for 25 years in the Geneva area, where she was a founding member of the Geneva Writers' Group, she now lives in Vienna once more.

Over a period of 250 years Portuguese became the global language of maritime trade, and Iberian silver circulated as a world trading currency. "A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 "provides an accessible survey of how the Portuguese became so influential during this period and how Portuguese settlements were founded in areas as far flung as Asia, Africa and South America.
Malyn Newitt examines how the ideas and institutions of a late medieval society were deployed to aid expansion into Africa and the Atlantic islands as well as how, through rivalry with Castile, this grew into a world wide commercial enterprise. Finally, he considers how resilient the Portuguese overseas communities were surviving wars and natural disasters and fending off attacks by the more heavily armed English and Dutch invaders until well into the 1600s.
Including a detailed Bibliography and Glossary, "A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 "is an invaluable textbook for all those studying this fascinating period of expansion by all the European powers.

On the role of margin phonotactics in Colloquial Bamana complex syllables
Christopher R. Green, Stuart Davis, Boubacar Diakite, Karen Baertsch
Data from two closely related varieties of Bamana (Bambara), a Mande language spoken in West Africa, reveal that these varieties differ significantly from one another in terms of the syllable shapes they permit in their inventories. A comparison of normative 'standard' Bamana and that spoken by a young cohort of individuals in the Malian capital, Bamako, reveals that the latter colloquial variety has synchronically developed complex CCV and CVC syllable shapes, while the normative variety permits only maximal CV syllables. We posit that this development of complex syllable shapes in Colloquial Bamana is a result of an overall drive towards word minimization in the language and that the language's chosen trajectory of minimization is predicted and best analyzed in reference to the Split Margin Approach to the syllable (e.g., Baertsch 2002). This paper formalizes Colloquial Bamana in an optimality-theoretic framework and details preferential vowel and consonant deletion patterns that create complex syllable shapes, the role of syllable margin phonotactics in driving these patterns, and other important phonological characteristics of the language that interact with and/or prevent minimization from occurring.

Game action involving the Green Machine and the Reggae Ruggers yesterday at the National Park. Guyana recorded a 23-6 victory.
The national 15s rugby team delivered a Golden Jubilee Independence victory to the nation yesterday against Jamaica.
Following their 23-5 win against the reggae ruggers at the National Park, their union was then presented with a cheque by Director of Sport, Chris Jones.
It was a tale of two halves as the 'Green Machine' transformed into robot mode following the half time whistle.
Clinging to just a three-point lead (8-5) at the half of their Rugby America's North (RAN) fixture, the locals turned the tides on by blanking Jamaica much to the appreciation of the fans who were given a treat of a match.
True to form, Jamaica came out playing at a blistering pace and ferocity that any team would struggle to match.
National Pride! Players of the Green Machine pose with the Golden Arrowhead following their 23-5 victory versus the Reggae Ruggers.
Director of Sport, Chris Jones presenting the cheque to president of the GRFU, Peter Green yesterday at the National Park.
On the muddy field, Guyana matched their physicality, but it was not long before Steven Miller produced a try to put the visitors up five. Then it all went downhill.
Rondel McArthur buried a penalty try to put Guyana on the score sheet.
Then Lance Adonis padded the score line with a gem of a diving try, needling four defenders from about 30 yards out to put Guyana up 8-5.
The teams went back and forth with hard tackles and stalemate scrums and went to the locker room with the same score line.
Guyana however went into the locker room with a psychological advantage but after halftime you would have believed that there were down 20.
The result? Recording three tries and conceding none.
Inspired by the fresh legs in the engine room in the form of wingers, Patrick King and Godfrey Broomes, Team Guyana stole the second half show.
Saran Wrap Defence and tries by Ronald Mayers, King and Claudius Butts put paid to the efforts of the Jamaicans.
Up next for Guyana in the RAN campaign is an away game versus Trinidad on June 19.

CHARLEVOIX — Looking to ever expand the scope and quality of services they offer their constituents, the Charlevoix County Commission On Aging has expanded its three month pilot of free rides for seniors for another 12 months.
The first 90 days was so successful, said COA board member Margo Johnson, the commission opted to study the potential program further.
"What really amazed us was that we had no idea what usage was going to be, but usage was good and cost was really low," she said.
Commissioners had set a limit of $20,000 for the pilot, but it only cost them an average of less than $1,100 per month.
The idea for the program was spawned both by increasing gasoline prices and the idea that seniors still able to drive in the summer might not be as willing to brave treacherous winter highways.
It previously cost senior citizens — those 60 and older — 50 cents to ride less than 15 miles one way; a dollar one way for anything over 15 miles within the county; and $3 one way outside the county.
While a couple dollars may not sound like much money to some, Johnson said it can be a serious strain on the budget of a senior with a fixed income.
In addition to free rides anywhere within the county for grocery shopping, hair appointments, medical exams, banking, entertainment or just visiting a friend or loved one, seniors may now take advantage of free rides to Petoskey, Gaylord and Traverse City for doctor appointments.
Just call the transit service from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at (231) 582-6900 extension 0 to make an appointment to be picked up.
In-town rides, according to transit officials, don't need quite as much advanced warning, but seniors must call as soon as possible to schedule rides to out-of-county appointments.
The full cost of this program is being funded by the Charlevoix County Senior Millage.
