Writing Critical ReviewsWhat does the title lead you to expect about the article?Study any sub-headings to understand how the author organized the content.Read the abstract for a summary of the author's arguments.Study the list of references to determine what research contributed to the author's arguments.
The following guidelines are designed to help you critically evaluate a research article….As you read, look for the author's main points.Generate questions before, during, and after reading.Draw inferences based on your own experiences and knowledge.To really improve understanding and recall, take notes as you read.
The methods section should include:the aim, design and setting of the study.the characteristics of participants or description of materials.a clear description of all processes, interventions and comparisons. the type of statistical analysis used, including a power calculation if appropriate.
Critical Reading & AnalysisThink about what you expect from the article or chapter, before reading it.Skim the abstract, headings, conclusion, and the first sentence of each paragraph.Focus on the arguments presented rather than facts.Take notes as you read and start to organise your review around themes and ideas.
You show your understanding by analysing and then synthesising the information to:Determine what has already been written on a topic.Provide an overview of key concepts.Identify major relationships or patterns.Identify strengths and weaknesses.Identify any gaps in the research.Identify any conflicting evidence.
A literature review is a type of critical review in which you analyze and evaluate many sources on a specific topic. You will probably include less detailed information on each source than you would in a critical review of a single book or article.
Critical reading:Identify the author's thesis and purpose.Analyze the structure of the passage by identifying all main ideas.Consult a dictionary or encyclopedia to understand material that is unfamiliar to you.Make an outline of the work or write a description of it.Write a summary of the work.
RRL means that you must read a poem or piece of literature and express your opinion of it after studying it intensely. RSS means you have to able to provide your Resource Reporting System. You have to be able to provide the various sources you have examined for your response or answer. 1.8K views.
A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a particular topic. It generally follows a discussion of the paper's thesis statement or the study's goals or purpose. *This sample paper was adapted by the Writing Center from Key, K.L., Rich, C., DeCristofaro, C., Collins, S. (2010).

Today, May 15, is National Chocolate Chip Day, so I thought I'd post these cookies I made a week ago.
I got the recipe for these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies when we were in Utah in March. We stayed with Kevin's sister, Cindy. She had a book sitting on the table called A Mormon Cookbook, by Erin Allred. So I sat flipping through it. Some of the recipes were interesting and I'd probably never make them, but I found this cookie recipe and I've heard of putting an instant pudding mix in chocolate chip cookies before, but hadn't seen or thought of it in an oatmeal cookie. So I jotted the recipe down and found it in my purse last week and decided to whip up half the recipe.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies (aka, Erins' name for them is Mushy Missionary Oatmeal Cookies, I don't care for that name—it's a Mormon thing.), adapted by Katrina from Baking and Boys!
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl. Add the eggs and beat another 2 minutes. Mix in the instant pudding. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Add the the dry ingredients to the mixer and beat just until combined. Fold in the chocolate/mix-ins by hand.
If you didn't see my last post, be sure to check out the Best Homemade Play Dough. If you have kids, they will love it and you will, too!
Happy National Chocolate Chip Day! These cookies sound like a great way to celebrate. I've never made cookies with pudding mix though I did make some yummy cupcakes with it once. Will have to give these a shot!
Oh great... my birthday AND Nat. chocolate chip day! How could I forget? Actually, I remembered Nat. Chocolate Chip Cookie day a few months ago - but this recipe looks terrific (copying it now) - can't have enough CCC recipes!!!
These look great. I didn't realize I missed the holiday!
I'm bummed that I didn't make it to Levain or Jacques Torres in NYC, but they are on the list for next time!
I made these a while back and they were great. I need to go dig up the recipe and see if they are actually the same, but I remember it was an oatmeal cookie with puddidng and chocolate chips.
I haven't made cookies with pudding mix before, but why not it works great in cakes.
What a neat idea! I made coconut chocolate chip cookies but these sound even better!
Oh, it looks so delicious. I love pudding mixes. I put them in everything! That and chocolate syrup! Yum!
Oh man..how did I miss Chocolate chip day??? these look perfect!
The cookies sound wonderful Katrina. I have baked with pudding mix before and like how cookies turn out with it. Ill have to try these with the oatmeal.
MMMmmm, sounds like a fun recipe. Cookies look yummy too. I like the look of chopped chocolate in a cookie. Nice work!
I've never added pudding to cookie dough before...these cookies look amazing.
Oh I can't believe I missed chocolate chip day! Shame on me!!! You know I actually bought a box of instant pudding to try those ccc that have it, and never did! Maybe the box has expired by now, it was a long time ago... But like you, I never seen it used in oatmeal! Good idea girl! They do look great.
I had no idea about chip day! Love oatmeal cc and yours look great!
Hmmm, vanilla pudding in chocolate chip cookies...sounds super delish.

Q: Express / Mongo DB API Explanation I am struggling to understand where and why I initialize my first newFruit in my .then() promise or where it is coming from in my controller JS file. I am working on an express / mongo DB API
Please explain .then line
const Recipe = require("../models/recipes.models");

module.exports.createRecipe = (req, res) => {
  Recipe.create(req.body)
    .then((newFruit) => res.json(newFruit))
    .catch((errors) => res.status(400).json(errors));
};

What I think i understand currently is that my newFruit is equal to my req.body post information object and i am setting that as a successful json response for my API.
However I am confused on the flow of data and what my first newFruit does and why I need it. Does the req.body form Data just automatically get renamed to whatever I call it in my .then ?
Any Pseudo Code may help.

MJJ'S SGP AUDITION
Michael Jepsen Jensen is determined to take his chance to shine on the FIM Speedway Grand Prix stage as he bids to impress the SGP selectors
Danish star Michael Jepsen Jensen is determined to take his chance to shine on the FIM Speedway Grand Prix stage as he bids to impress the selectors for the 2015 series.
MJJ's season has been blighted by the ligament damage he suffered to his upper right leg in a pre-season crash.
But he showed his huge potential by reaching the Danish SGP and Mitas British SGP semi-finals after being called up to replace the injured Chris Holder.
The 2012 World Under-21 champ was holding second place in the Cardiff semi, but fell after being caught out by a rut.
Having shown signs of getting back to the form that carried him to Nordic SGP gold at Vojens in 2012, first reserve MJJ is keen make the most of any more SGP opportunities that come his way.
I just want to get into the series. I have to finish off the season in a good way now and that's my only chance.
And he hopes to push for either a permanent SGP wild card for 2015 or a GP Challenge wild card for Lonigo in September, where the top three earn places in next season's series.
He said: "I just want to get into the series. I have to finish off the season in a good way now and that's my only chance. I'm not in the qualifying rounds because my first Danish Final didn't go well.
"But I want to show I belong in this game and I think two semis in two meetings isn't that bad.
"Getting a wild card for the GP Challenge would be quite nice. It would be the nicest way to get into the series, to qualify myself."
Jepsen Jensen enjoyed his first SGP event outside of Denmark on Saturday and admits he is feeling increasingly comfortable on the big stage.
He said: "This was my first Grand Prix outside Denmark and it was an amazing crowd. It's the biggest GP. I didn't feel that big a difference between this and racing at home. It's all the same people walking around. I've been in a few rounds and I'm starting to get to know all the people. I feel at home."
While some riders may have stayed down after falling in the semi-final and tried to get a place in the re-run, Jepsen Jensen wasted no time in clearing the track to allow the action to continue.
His good sportsmanship won applause from the Cardiff crowd and the rider had no intention of trying to pin the blame on Krzysztof Kasprzak, who dived hard up his inside, but made no contact.
"It was a shame I flipped it in the semi-final, but it happens," he said. "Krzysztof didn't touch me and that was the reason I got straight back up. I just hit one of the holes.
"The fall was my own fault and I know there was a little chance to stay down and try and get a re-run. Kasprzak came straight under me. But there was no reason not to stand back up."

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week's podcast, we have draft talk with Jackson Hoy of The Stepien, which is, for my money, the best site for the NBA Draft since ESPN bought and hollowed out DraftExpress. Jackson and I discuss point guards that could fit in a backup role for the Pistons, wings that will be available with the 42nd pick, and one offensively-gifted big man with local ties. As always, we appreciate your continued support of the podcast, and the best way to do that is to share, like, leave comments - please leave comments on Detroit Bad Boys, it's the best way for us to build the podcast according to what the fans want. In order to do that, though, you have to follow Detroit Bad Boys.com, the best place on the internet for Pistons' news and analysis this season.


In startup culture, 'hard work' is something of a sacred cow. It's been this way for a long time but in recent years that emphasis has only grown stronger - at companies like Revolut the concept of hard graft is now all but venerated. Don't get me wrong, hard work is essential to startup success - but a common mistake that so many make is to equate flexibility with 'slacking off'. Whether you realise it or not, that mindset is forcing good people out of your business.
Six years ago, I joined an ambitious young startup called Songkick. Back then, I had all the hunger and drive of every other twenty-something cliché in an up-and-coming, high-growth tech company.
I was able to pour myself into the job. For those who have never worked in tech, the industry comes packaged up in a particular culture; one of long days and intense hours. Your work comes home with you, to the pub, to the park, and pretty much anywhere a colleague is.
At the time, I was free to do this because I had little to no responsibilities. Fast forward to today, and things are a little different.
I still work at an ambitious startup. I still work hard. The difference is now I have three children, a mortgage, and all the other moving pieces that come with that. Those changes have dramatically affected the way I can do my work.
I no longer have the elasticity of schedule that I possessed during my youth - I can't just throw time at a problem until it gives way. As much as I may want to be in the office working on something to completion, sometimes I have to close the laptop and head home.
About a year ago, that battle between work and home came to a head. I was walking a tightrope, trying to balance my responsibilities as Head of Product at Charlie with my ever increasing responsibilities as a father and husband. Every day, I would leave the house before my kids had finished breakfast, and arrive home long after they'd gone to bed. Eventually, that tightrope began to fray.
This wasn't an easy time for me - I was caught in the middle between what seemed like two diverging forces. The company I loved was moving in one direction, while my family was headed in the opposite direction. I was left in the middle, trying to hold everything together.
This problem was by no means unique to me or to Charlie. In fact, I think it's something every young startup will have to wrestle with eventually.
Within startup culture, hard work can be held up on a pedestal - the ideal that everyone is asked to hold themselves to. And there's no problem with that: we work hard at Charlie, and we actively urge one another to commit with intensity and energy.
What is problematic is the side-effect of that commitment - a spillover viewpoint that encourages you to equate 'hard work' with longer hours.
That view is driving people out of your company.
This isn't simply a theoretical problem; it's a reality. When the tightrope I was walking eventually snapped, I booked a meeting with our COO, Ben Gateley. I told him that as things stood, I was very close to walking away and looking for a job elsewhere.
The fact that I didn't is a testament to Charlie's willingness to think outside the box. Ben and I found a solution together - but I wonder how many people even get as far as having that conversation? How many people reach the same tipping point… then polish up their CV, and leave the all-or-nothing tech bubble for good?
The good news for founders is that it is a lot easier than you think to accommodate enough flexibility - both in your communication, and your company culture - so people don't have to make those trade-offs.
Be honest with yourself - nobody is capable of maximum productivity at all hours of the day.
Energy ebbs and flows, inspiration goes through peaks and troughs, and different tasks present different challenges. Achieving that state of peak flow can be easier or harder depending on the context and environment.
Rather than deny this, challenge your own assumptions about what it means to be more flexible. It's all too easy to assume that 'flexibility' is just a euphemism for 'slacking-off'. I believe that's a mistake.
When I went to Ben with my dilemma I was in a mood of glum resignation. It felt like the diverging responsibilities I had to my work and my family were irreconcilable.
But instead of digging in his heels and telling me all the many reasons why things couldn't change, Ben did the opposite. He asked me to suggest a solution, then own the delivery of that solution across the company.
This flipped my state of mind completely. I was no longer dealing with an irreconcilable difference, but a project I was free to approach on my own terms.
Together with my wife, Lizzie, we worked through exactly what I would need from Charlie in order to continue working there and laid out how that would, in turn, pay back to the company in increased productivity and a fresher mind when in the office.
The end result was a form of flexible working pattern we call 'core hours'. But the exact details of the arrangement we struck upon isn't really the issue. What's crucial is that Charlie allowed me to own the problem, then gave me the chance to deliver the solution.
It's all too easy to see someone at their desk after everyone else has left and think: "that's what real dedication looks like". In reality, it's not that simple.
Earlier in my career, I could afford to let myself be sidetracked by small problems, to procrastinate or be lazy about prioritising my time. After all, I could just stay late and make up the time.
It's possible that I fooled others, but I wasn't under any illusion: working later didn't necessarily mean I was working harder.
This is the trap of presenteeism - the mistake of equating visible desk hours with output. It is the founder's responsibility to make sure their company doesn't fall into that trap.
Place your emphasis on output - not on hours worked. Or to go one better: define the outcomes you want, and then give your team the freedom to work out the best way to achieve them.
This is perhaps the most crucial part of the process. How can companies be sure that new flexible working arrangements are actually working?
I've already touched on just how jumpy tech companies can be about anything that could be mistaken for taking their foot off the pedal. For that reason, knowing that flexible working produces results - and being able to prove it - is a serious issue, and we defined several success criteria upfront.
After a two-week trial, I'd asked a colleague outside my immediate team to act as an impartial surveyor: she polled my teammates, asking them if they thought the new changes had a detrimental impact on their work or my own performance.
Overwhelmingly, the answer was no (phew!) - although there were some excellent suggestions about how I could get better at communicating where I would be and when.
I never wanted to leave my job. What I wanted to get away from was a culture that felt incompatible with my family life. The fact that my company was willing to make the changes I needed is testament to its founders and a credit to the open culture of communication they have fostered there.
But I'm certain there are many other Product Managers facing much the same dilemma who won't get as far as having that conversation. If you want to keep them, then you need to look at making your workplace more flexible. Those people want to work, and want to work hard - but they won't stick around if it means sacrificing their family life.

Biografia
Eraldo Ulisse Amantini nacque a Bagnolo sul Monte Amiata, in provincia di Grosseto, secondo di quattro figli da Giovanni Battista Amantini e Diolinda Fratini.

Il 26 ottobre 1926, all'età di dodici anni, entrò in seminario presso i padri passionisti a Nettuno, per poi essere trasferito quattro anni dopo presso il Convento della Presentazione al Tempio sul Monte Argentario, casa madre dei passionisti. Il 23 ottobre 1929 ricevette l'abito talare e gli fu dato il nome di Candido dell'Immacolata. Dopodiché fu trasferito prima a Tavarnuzze e successivamente a Vinchiana-Ponte a Moriano (Lucca), dove completò gli studi in filosofia e teologia. Nel 1936, a Roma presso la Scala Santa, si laureò in Teologia all'Università Pontificia Angelicum. Fu ordinato sacerdote a Roma il 13 marzo 1937.

Nel 1941, presso l'Istituto Biblico Pontificio, ottenne la laurea in Sacre Scritture e studiò il greco, l'ebraico, il tedesco e il sanscrito. Dal 1941 al 1945 insegnò l'ebraico e le Sacre Scritture a Vinchiana e a Vetralla, per poi ritornare a Roma per insegnare in seminario, e infine, dal 1947 al 1960, alla basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Un grave malore lo porterà nel maggio del 1961 ad interrompere l'attività di insegnante.

Candido Amantini iniziò ad occuparsi di esorcismo con Alessandro Coletti, esorcista della diocesi di Arezzo e già suo allievo in seminario, con il quale effettuò il suo primo esorcismo. Dal 1961 fino al giorno della propria morte praticò esorcismi presso la diocesi di Roma. Ebbe modo di conoscere san Pio da Pietrelcina, il quale disse di lui: «È un sacerdote secondo il cuore di Dio». Padre Gabriele Amorth fu suo allievo su insistenza del cardinale Ugo Poletti dal giugno 1986, sostituendolo come primo esorcista al momento della morte.

Morte e processo di beatificazione
Il 22 settembre 1992, giorno della ricorrenza del martirio di san Candido di Sion-en-Valais, morì dopo una lunga malattia. Fu sepolto al cimitero del Verano e proclamato servo di Dio. Il 21 marzo 2012 le sue spoglie furono spostate presso la cappella del Crocifisso alla Scala Santa. Attualmente è in corso il processo di beatificazione, iniziato il 13 luglio 2012.

Double Junkanoo in Nassau Bahamas
By Kim Beckley
Log your Zs before arriving on Bay Street in Nassau, the Bahamas, and Junkanoo, a fiercely competitive parade/outdoor masquerade ball. It's done Carnival-style on Boxing Day, December 26th, and New Year's Day.
Rush Out signals the start of participants rushing the street to dazzle, entertain, and compete. Prepare to be immersed in Bahamian culture by reveling in dance and musical rhythms. Sounds from goat-skin covered drums, whistles, brass instruments, conch shell blowers, cowbells, and horns pierce the post-midnight, pre-dawn sky. Music is accompanied by a cornucopia of hand-made ornate costumes made of crepe paper, beads, sequins, feathers, cardboard, and more. Masks and non-motorized floats complete the parade.
Junkanoo dates to the 18th-century. Consensus as to the origin varies. Beliefs range from being named after West African tribal chief, John Canoe, who came to the West Indies during slavery. Another belief tied to Junkanoo is derived from the French phrase gens inconnus, unknown people. That may explain the masks. Many people feel Junkanoo evolved from the days of slavery when the enslaved were given three days to celebrate; Christmas, Boxing, and New Year's Day. During this time, singing and dancing paired with colorful masks were celebratory hallmarks. Perhaps aspects of each are incorporated into what is today's celebration.
Junkanoo is sometimes used interchangeably with Carnival, but there are differences, notably in the origins. Scholars point out that while both are celebrations, Junkanoo's roots are an African spiritual connection to the ancestral past celebrated at Christmas. Carnival's roots were introduced as a celebration by Italian Catholics during the Lenten period, which precedes Easter. The roots of Carnival are tied to the Latin derivation Carne, meat, and vale, farewell. The Junkanoo costumes must also be at least 75% hand-made, linking them to the ancestral spirits. All the music is original and performed live.
Junkanoo participants comprise troupes, with hundreds to thousands of participants. Members come from all walks of life, including doctors, teachers, bankers, and engineers, to name a few. Troupes compete in categories for theme, costume, music, and choreography performance. Winners receive trophies, cash, and the highly coveted bragging rights.
Some troupes have corporate sponsorships to offset the costs of production. Four of the prominent troupes are Valley Boys, Saxons, One Family, and Roots. Competition among them is fierce, and secrecy is taken as seriously as guarding Fort Knox.
Preparation for the next year's parade begins right after the last person, and float completes the route on Shirley Street around 10 am. If that isn't enough, the Boxing Day Parade is entirely different from the New Years' parade held six short days later.
Street viewing is free, or tickets can be purchased for bleacher seating. Depending on the bleacher location, pricing may range from $30 to $100 US. Seating is first come first served. Tickets may be purchased through hotels or by calling 242-325-5267.
Upon departure, many people head straight to the airport from Junkanoo. I was one. Sitting in the airport, head in hand, I could easily spot fellow revelers just by reading their body language – similar to a wet noodle. I lost track of how long I'd been awake after 24-hours passed. No matter the origins of Junkanoo or how you experience it, this celebration is not one to miss. The Bahamian slogan even says so, "It's better in the Bahamas." If going in December doesn't work, summertime Junkanoo is July 10th, their Independence Day. Learn more about Junkanoo and the Bahamas HERE. ~TPM

Sacco Measure To Permit Background Checks For School Volunteers Clears Senate
News & Releases Nicholas J. Sacco
TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senator Nicholas J. Sacco which would permit community centers, schools and other child-serving facilities to require background checks for unpaid volunteers was unanimously approved today by the full Senate.
"We owe it to our children to make sure that the adults that come into their schools, recreation centers, etc. are qualified by law to be there," said Senator Sacco, D-Hudson and Bergen, who is also the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the North Bergen school district. "Everyday when I turn on the news I hear about another child whose innocence was lost at the hands of a child molester. By interviewing volunteers we would be sending a clear message to parents, students and would-be child molesters that we are determined to fight to protect our kids."
Senator Sacco's bill, S-60, would amend current law to allow facilities, centers or schools that educate children under the age of 18 to require unpaid volunteers to submit to a background check. The facility, center or school would be responsible for reimbursing volunteers for the cost of the background check.
The legislation would also permit facilities, centers or schools to cover the cost of background checks for persons seeking a paid position.
The bill was unanimously approved by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee on February 8. It now heads to the Governor's desk where his signature would make it State law.
Sacco Measure Would Permit Background Checks For School Volunteers
TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senator Nicholas J. Sacco which would permit community centers, schools, and other child-serving facilities to require background checks for unpaid volunteers was unanimously approved today by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee.
"As an educator, I understand how important it is to have qualified people working with our children," said Senator Sacco, D-Hudson and Bergen, who is also the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the North Bergen school district. "With all that we hear in the news with child molesters and other others who mean harm towards children working in different child-serving groups, we can't be too careful when interviewing volunteers. We must make sure that we never sacrifice the innocence of our kids for free help."
Rice Measure To Ensure That Charter Schools Are Committed To Education Clears Senate Education Committee
TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senator Ronald L. Rice, which would toughen the requirements for the approval of charter school applications was approved today by the Senate Education Committee.
"Too often, it seems like applications to open charter schools go through the State like water through a faucet," said Senator Rice, D-Essex, a longtime advocate of increased accountability for those applying to open and operate charter schools. "When it comes to teaching our children, the commitment must be to education. 'A' must come before 'B,' and both an adequate funding source and a location must be secured before these facilities are approved to instruct our students."


Figure out exactly what you prioritize in a Bluetooth speaker, so that you can get the best one for your needs.
Charging speed, other inputs for music, connecting to multiple devices - most speakers include these features, but not all of them are created equal.
The nitty gritty technical details of what makes a speaker sound better than it's competitors - audiophiles, this is for you!
These are some additional bells and whistles to consider when buying a Bluetooth speaker (including how to check for water resistance before dropping it in the pool).
These speakers can be dropped, shaken, submerged, and generally survive whatever abuse you throw at them - and they sound great.
If you want something small, light and portable without sarificing sound quality, check out these speakers.
If filling a room with sound combined with the convenience of Bluetooth is more important for you than portability, check out these options.
Historically, in order for you to rock out to your favorite tunes, you had to hook up a complicated speaker system with a tangle of cords and wires that needed a manual to assemble. Or, at the very least, you had to fumble with different kinds of batteries to power your boombox and connect more cords to play music. The options for listening to audio were limited to one area with hope that you had the right batteries and cords to make it work. That is, until wireless speakers came into play.
In the last 20 years or so, the development of wireless speaker technology—particularly Bluetooth—has completely changed the game. Now, anyone can purchase their own wireless, rechargeable Bluetooth speakers for louder and better sound quality than, say, the speakers on your cell phone or laptop. Plus, wireless means way more convenience and no more "cord spaghetti."
However, advancements in this technology also means a boom in products available in the Bluetooth speaker market, including anything from puck speakers that fit in the palm of your hand to rugged speakers that can play in any environment to bookshelf speakers with sound that rival even a wired connection. There are multiple speakers to meet every need. Which makes it difficult for you, the buyer, to figure out what to buy. So we've put together this comprehensive guide on everything you need to know before purchasing a Bluetooth speaker… as well as a few recommendations of our own!
Before we explore the ins and outs of Bluetooth speakers, it's important to understand how the technology works.
While Bluetooth is considered a wireless connection, it is different than Wi-Fi. Bluetooth does not require an internet connection; it allows two devices to communicate via "pairing." This means you can connect anywhere—at home, in the car, at the beach. The drawback is that Bluetooth can only connect to one, sometimes two, devices at a time. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is better for creating networks of multiple devices around one source, such as your home or office.
Other advantages to Bluetooth include high functionality and better battery efficiency. It's best used for listening to digitized audio via streaming, such as through Spotify, Google Play, or Apple Music, or playing audio files directly off your device. Once you've paired two devices one time, you won't have to configure it again. Simple as that!
While Bluetooth technology has made huge strides in the last few years, there are still some limitations. First, it only works at a certain distance of about 30ft on average and the transmission can be interrupted by walls or furniture. Second, the connection isn't typically as quick as Wi-Fi, so streaming video is usually out of the question (although streaming audio works excellently). For the advanced audiophile, wired connections and even Wi-Fi provide a higher quality playback. This is improving, though, with each new version of Bluetooth. (See chart below.) And finally, both of your devices must be Bluetooth enabled for the feature to work (unless you purchase a Bluetooth transmitter to give a non-Bluetooth device that capability).
*These features will be explained in detail in a later section.
What each of these versions share in common is that they are backwards compatible—meaning that if your speaker is Bluetooth 4.0 and your phone is Bluetooth 2.1, they will still work. However, shelling out the cash for a Bluetooth 4.0 speaker would be a waste if your connecting device was not also Bluetooth 4.0.
Outside of Bluetooth, there are several other types of wireless connections for speakers and home theatre systems. While we won't go into detail (since this guide focuses specifically on Bluetooth speakers), it will help you in the buying process to have a basic knowledge of different ways to connect devices.
Wireless connection via the internet, or Wi-Fi, is about as common as Bluetooth when it comes to speakers. It's better at long distances, but is not portable since it's tied to a Wi-Fi network and may even require a wired power connection. And if your Wi-Fi goes down, so do your speakers. But the stronger, faster connection means high audio quality and no lag between devices.
Apple AirPlay is another feature you may see during your research. AirPlay allows you to push music to your speaker once you've connected that speaker to the wireless network. However, it's restricted to Apple products and Wi-Fi-enabled speakers, so it may not work for everyone.
Play-Fi is another connection like AirPlay, developed by DTS. It also works over Wi-Fi with any Play-Fi enabled speaker, even those from different brands. Using the free Play-Fi app, you can play your music library or stream music services like Pandora, Sirius XM, or Spotify Connect. It's even possible to play different songs on different speakers at the same time.
There are also separate devices you can purchase to stream music through Wi-Fi, such as the Chromecast Audio. This small device plugs into your speaker via RCA, aux cord, or optical cord and allows you to "cast" directly from apps (such as Pandora, Google Play, Spotify, and iHeartRadio) without having to pair devices.
Android devices can use the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) to transmit music, pictures, and videos over Wi-Fi, but it's clunky and slow. You're probably better off using Bluetooth instead.
Like Play-Fi, HEOS by Denon is an app that allows you to control HEOS speakers, which can be Bluetooth or Wi-Fi equipped.
Now that you're a Bluetooth expert, it's time to consider your speaker needs. Why are you buying a speaker? What do you need the speaker to do? Asking yourself these questions will help narrow the very large field of options for purchasing Bluetooth speakers.
Where will you stage the speaker?
Size varies greatly in Bluetooth speakers, from as small as a candy bar to big, multi-speaker sets. Thinking about where you might want to put the speaker gives you an idea of what size you need.
Bigger rooms will require bigger, more powerful speakers to fill the room with sound. Also, furnishing and materials in the room can impact sound. For example, carpet and plushy couches muffle and absorb sound, where as sound bounces off of wood floors and furniture.
Will you take the speaker outdoors?
Playing music outside requires two features: A rugged build to withstand the elements and louder sound to overpower ambient noise from the environment, especially in cities and towns.
Will you travel with it? Take it outdoors and/or indoors? Play music at parties? Different speakers cater to different needs, so try to imagine any possible use you'll have for it.
Any two Bluetooth enabled devices can be paired, but some devices support multiple sources. For example, you may want to be able to answer a phone call while you're streaming music from your laptop. If this is important to you, you'll need to choose a speaker that can connect to more than one device simultaneously.
For both the speaker and the device you intend to use to transmit audio.
Will it be music directly from your device's library (hi-res audio files)? Or do you prefer to stream music from Pandora or Spotify?
Speakers range from $25 to over $1,000. Setting a budget will help you assess price versus features and value.
As with any technology purchase, there are a number of features to consider when assessing which Bluetooth speaker is best for you. Not all speakers will have these features. Some will come with certain features at the expense of others—for example, an inexpensive waterproof speaker will have poorer sound quality. So, in addition to determining what features you need, you'll also have to decide how important each feature is to you. What is a MUST have and what could you compromise on? Keeping that in mind, let's look at the many possible features of Bluetooth speakers.
Just because your device connects via wireless Bluetooth doesn't mean you shouldn't consider what other connections you have. First, some speakers will come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and aux cord for hardwire connection. This may come in handy if you have a non-Bluetooth enabled device. Also, connecting via aux cable saves power, since Bluetooth uses slightly more battery power, and produces a stronger, higher quality connection than wireless.
Some speakers come with a docking station, such as an Apple dock with a Lightning connector. While this is becoming less prominent, it's a convenient way to charge your device while also playing music.
Aside from audio inputs, it's also important to consider how the speaker will charge. A one-piece wall charger is more restrictive than a USB cable that could charge via computer or wall outlet. Some speakers come with a charging cradle, which adds more bulk to an item if you plan to travel with it. In the reverse, speakers that come equipped with a regular USB connection usually allow for battery sharing—meaning you can charge your device while it's playing music. This does drain the speaker's battery about 50% quicker, but will save your phone from dying and we know how tragic that can be!
Any Bluetooth enabled device can be paired with a Bluetooth speaker. However, not all speakers have a wide range of output capabilities. For example, if you want to connect multiple speakers, you'll need a device that supports multiple pairings. While this feature is commonplace for Wi-Fi, AirPlay or other app-enabled speakers, it's found less often in Bluetooth. Connecting too many speakers crowds the signal, possibly causing a delay in the audio, and reduces the quality of sound, so don't plan on connecting a lot of speakers at once.
If you plan on using your speaker to make and take calls, you'll need a built-in microphone and speakerphone. Some speakers have call controls on the device for easy functionality. Also, if you plan on keeping it in an office, you might want a speaker that supports multiple call connections to receive calls on multiple lines.
Lastly, like we mentioned earlier, Bluetooth speakers with a USB connection usually support battery sharing to charge your mobile device on the go.
Bluetooth speakers have varying degrees of portability based on several features. Consider size, weight, and build when determining how portable the speaker is. Sound quality also varies with size, so keep that in mind when determining just how small you need it to be. Some speakers also come with a handle for easy travel or clips to attach to bags, bikes, etc.
Battery life and battery type are also important to portability. Battery life is measured in milliampere hours (mAh), but the manufacturer's estimated battery life will give you the best comparison. Be sure to assess battery life relative to the size of the speaker and how you use it—a bigger speaker will use more battery power and battery sharing will drain the battery much faster.
Finally, check what kind of battery operates the speaker for best functionality. Rechargeable lithium-ion (LI-ion) batteries are ideal; some speakers only take standard or rechargeable AA/AAA/C/D batteries. This is typical of low-end, inexpensive speakers. You may also find Bluetooth speakers that recharge via solar power—great for outdoor speakers!
One of the most complicated features to assess in speakers is sound quality. The terms are complex, but if you want to get the most bang for your buck, you should definitely compare all of these measurements in speakers.
This number is described as the watt output of the speaker. A watt is a measure of electrical power. Thus, higher output means more powerful (or louder) speaker. When determining how loud your speaker needs to be, remember to think about the size of the room/area/environment it will be in. If you need something that will play over other sounds, such as a party or beach, you'll need more wattage than you anticipate.
Mono speakers play audio from a single channel, giving the impression that the sound is coming from one direction. Stereo, on the other hand, uses two or more independent audio channels creating the illusion that sounds are coming from different directions. Mono is becoming less prominent, as stereo is more realistic and preferred. For better sound, make sure you choose a stereo Bluetooth speaker.
See, told you we'd get to this one! EDR was a feature added to Bluetooth connectivity to allow higher data transfer rates. The quicker the data transfers, the better the audio quality. EDR keeps a continuous connection (rather than bursts of data), which is better for streaming audio. However, it's not included in every device, so look for Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 2.1+EDR, etc.
Measured in Hertz (Hz), frequency response range describes how high and low a speaker can play. The larger the range, the better the speaker will be at reproducing the audio being played. As a frame of reference, the human ear can hear 20Hz to 20kHz. Any speaker 50 Hz or lower is considered good and won't need any additional bass (unless you like A LOT of bass, in which case you might want to consider getting a subwoofer). When you're looking at the different ranges for speakers, make sure there is a +/- after, such as +/- 3 or 4 dB frequency range. If no such note exists, the measurement isn't completely accurate.
Speaker sensitivity is measured in the maximum decibel rating (dB). The higher the dB, the louder the speaker. An average speaker is 87 to 88 dB. Over 90 dB is considered excellent.
Drivers are the cones or horn-shaped objects inside the speaker box. The number of drivers tells you how many kinds of speakers make up your device. More drivers means sound quality won't suffer at the expense of high volumes.
Finally, there are a suite of other features to consider when purchasing a Bluetooth speaker. Any one of this may or may not matter to you, but are certainly things to keep an eye out for during your shopping experience.
Bluetooth speakers can be durable, shockproof, dustproof, armored, splash-proof, water resistant, waterproof, and more. Use the devices IP rating to determine just how tough it is. The first digit refers to dust protection and the second digit refers to water protection. The higher the rating, the more resistant it is to the environment. Anything higher an IP66 will be dust- and splash-proof. For example, shower speakers should have an IP66 rating or higher.
NFC allows you to connect your devices by simply tapping them together. This is a feature of the newest version of Bluetooth and, while probably not necessary, is convenient to have.
Most multi-room speaker systems connect via Wi-Fi or mobile app. However, they do make multiple speaker systems where your device connects to a "base," which then transmits audio to multiple speakers. While it may not play well in different rooms (due to the limitations of Bluetooth transmission and walls/furniture), you could place multiple speakers around a room to truly fill the space with sound.
Wireless speakers are definitely a staple of the modern home for convenience alone. But as Bluetooth technology continues to improve, the gap in quality between Wi-Fi/wired speakers and Bluetooth shrinks. Unless you are a huge audiophile, you probably won't notice a difference between a great Bluetooth speaker and other options on the market.
Plus, for listening on the go, you can't beat the portability of a Bluetooth speaker. Bring your new speaker to your next gathering—you'll be the life of the party!
If you're ready to embark on your Bluetooth speaker buying journey, we've created a super simple comparison chart for you to take notes while comparing speakers that stand out to you.
For the camper, adventurer, traveler, and beach goer, a rugged speaker lets you enjoy your tunes outdoors, while ensuring it can withstand the elements. Remember to pay close attention to the IP rating for each of these speakers to gauge just how tough the speaker is. Also, if you do plan to travel with it, make sure you choose a speaker that travels easiest wherever you may be headed!
The Angle 3 is a top selling Bluetooth speaker that is splashproof, rainproof, dustproof, and sandproof. It's size and weight are perfect for travel. And talk about bang for your buck! For under $30, you'll get clear stereo sound and up to 7 hours of playtime.
Don't let the size of this Bluetooth speaker fool you. It packs a big punch! Not only is it small and light enough to mount to a bicycle or kayak paddle, but it's also dust- and water-resistant with an IPX6 rating. The speaker comes equipped with a built-in microphone for calls and a rechargeable battery with up to 24 hours of play time. One downside is that there is no aux cable connection, but for a small speaker you can attach to anything on-the-go, you can't go wrong with this choice!
For those looking for top-of-the-line audio quality and a speaker designed to withstand the environment, the Braven BRV-X is the clear choice. 12 hours of playtime combined, an IPX7 rating, shared charging capabilities—the list goes on. The speaker even has two settings, Indoor and Outdoor mode, depending on where you're listening. You can also pair your device with two speakers using Braven's TrueWireless technology for left and right stereo sound.
While water resistance and dust proofing can be a neat feature, you're likely paying a premium for it or sacrificing other qualities in favor of a rugged speaker. If resistance to the elements is not a necessity, you'll find that there are non-rugged speakers with more features and sound quality at better prices.
The two biggest advantages to this speaker are its size and its price. While you'll get what you pay for in sound quality, this item comes highly rated by users for great sound despite its small size. Connect via Bluetooth and play up to 7 hours or answer calls with a built-in microphone. And take it anywhere! It's only about 7 ounces.
Armed with both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and an aux line in, this Anker product is one of the highest rated speakers—and for good reason. Stereo sound, crisp bass, and reduced distortion at even the highest volumes means excellent listening. Plus, the SoundCore will play up to 24 hours continuously on a single charge. It's lightweight and compact build makes it super portable and a great deal for the price.
This upgraded version of the previous Anker speaker has all the same features of its predecessor. However, if you need powerful sound that will drown out ambient noise, party conversation, and more, it's worth the extra investment. Dual 10W speakers, MaxxBass technology and built in subwoofers provide a wide range of full stereo sound and impressive volume. The only downside is all that extra power means the speaker battery lasts about 8 hours—still a notable battery life nonetheless.
If you like music with bass, the JBL Flip 3 is the way to go. Reviewers agree that the sound quality is hard to beat—it's one of the highest rated speakers in the category. And while it is resistant to splashes, it's not recommended that you get this product wet. Still, for non-rugged use, it's top of the line. JBL connect also lets you built your own network by connecting multiple JBL speakers together, and you can connect up to 3 Bluetooth enabled devices to the speaker. Add a built-in speakerphone and 10 hour battery life, and you've got one heck of a speaker on your hands.
Bose products are on the leading edge of speaker sound quality. For a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand, you'll be surprised by its full sound and deeper lows. 10 hours of battery life plus voice activated Bluetooth pairing and built in speakerphone gives this product all the features of a high-end speaker. Plus, you can connect this speaker with up to two Bluetooth enabled devices.
Bluetooth speakers are also a great staple in the home, especially if you plan on keeping them in one spot—on a bookshelf, possibly. What you may sacrifice in size, making it less portable, you gain in volume and sound quality. But to fill an entire room with sound (especially one filled with carpet or furniture, as we've mentioned), you'll probably need a more powerful speaker.
The G-BOOM is definitely more portable than other speakers in this category. With a handle and tough build, it is made to move. However, at 7.5 pounds, it's certainly not made to travel. You'll be able to move this speaker from room to room, but it's probably best used in a home or apartment. Fortunately, its 2.2 speaker configuration and powerful bass will fill any room with sound for up to 6 hours on a full charge. As a bookshelf speaker under $100, this product is a steal.

CCTV evidence showed King unloading the illegal goods from a lorry. Duffy was also present at the unit.
One week later King was observed overseeing the delivery of another 440,000 illegal cigarettes to a commercial property on Edmund Road in Sheffield.
"This was a shameless attempt to put millions of illegal cigarettes on the streets and deprive the UK of money which should be used to fund our public services. They thought they could get away with it, but they were wrong. Duffy now has even more time behind bars to look forward to.
Duffy was previously convicted of cheating the public revenue and sentenced to six years in prison at Leeds Crown Court on 11 May 2018. He admitted excise fraud at Leeds Crown Court on 24 October 2018 and was sentenced another 18 months in prison, to run consecutively to his other sentence, at the same court today, 18 January 2018.

Joseph Michel Antoine Servan (November 3, 1737 – 1807) was a French publicist and lawyer.

He was born at Romans (Dauphiné). After studying law he was appointed avocat-general at the parlement of Grenoble at the age of twenty-seven. In his Discours sur l'administration de la Justice Criminelle (1767) he made an eloquent protest against legal abuses and the severity of the criminal code. In 1767 he gained great repute for his defense of a Protestant woman who, as a result of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, had been abandoned by her Catholic husband.

In 1772, however, on the parlement refusing to accede to his request that a present made by a grand seigneur to a singer should be annulled on the ground of immorality, he resigned, and went into retirement. He excused himself on the score of ill health from sitting in the States General of 1789, to which he had been elected deputy, and refused to take his seat in the Corps Législatif under the Empire.

Among his writings may be mentioned Reflexions sur les Confessions de J.-J. Rousseau (1783) and Essai sur La formation des assemblées nationales, provinciales, et municipales (1789). His Œuvres choisies and Œuvres inédites have been published by De Portets. His brother Joseph Servan de Gerbey (1741-1808) was war minister in the Girondist ministry of 1792.

See "Lettres inédites de Servan," in Souvenirs et mémoires (vol. iv., Paris, 1900).

Michel Foucault's quotation of Servan who he mentioned as belonging to an influential group called the Idéologues  in his seminal work on Prisons, Discipline and Punish provides an illuminating insight into the mind of Servan:

Q: Twitter Programmatically Add Photo I made a crop screenshot and upload addon for Firefox. I would like to bring a feature that allows user to tweet the images.
Manually (as human does it) the process is this:

*

*Open twitter.com (if not signed in tell user to sign in)

*Click "new tweet" this is done

*Attach images by doing "Add photo" and browse to file

*

*This is gif of this process:

*Then I focus the tab and focus the tweet input box

*So user can type the message, then "whose in the photos" if they want, then click tweet. The great thing is with this method, the images have not bothered twitter servers, as the images are not uploaded until users final write off, when they click the "Tweet" button. So user has chance to decide to click X to remove a screenshot attached before hitting "Tweet". I find this way very friendly to the user and to the twitter servers. (If there is a file size limit that can be attached ill do that check in my addon and let user know it cant go in)

The problem
I am trying to automate steps 1-4. I can do 1, 2, and 4 perfectly.
I am trying to programmatically do step 3. It seems Twitter does not use the input[type=file].files html5 api, they are doing some custom javascript. Does anyone know how I can programtically add in images? I have full privelaged javascirpt code access as this is a Firefox addon.
One big reason I cant tell user to go attach themslves is these image are stored in memory for performance, not in file, so I need to attach them programtically.
Code I tried (HTML5 FileList API)
It uses the mozSetFileArray defined here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement and its brother mozSetFileNameArray here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/mozSetFileNameArray
// Step 1 - Open twitter.com (for testing purposes, twitter.com is open in tab 7 so I dont load it here)
var aContentWindow = gBrowser.tabContainer.childNodes[6].linkedBrowser.contentWindow; // gets window of tab 7
var aContentDocument = aContentWindow.document;

// Step 2 - Open tweet modal
var btnNewTweet = aContentDocument.getElementById('global-new-tweet-button');
console.info('btnNewTweet:', btnNewTweet);

if (!btnNewTweet) {
    throw new Error('global tweet button not found, probably not logged in');
}

btnNewTweet.click();

// Step 3 - Attach two File instances for test purposes (in production will attach Blob)
var inputAddPhoto = aContentDocument.getElementById('global-tweet-dialog').querySelector('input[type=file]');
console.info('inputAddPhoto:', inputAddPhoto, inputAddPhoto.mozGetFileNameArray);

if (!inputAddPhoto) {
    throw new Error('add photo button not found! i have no idea what could cause this');
}

var newFiles = [];
var myFile1 = new File('C:\\Users\\Vayeate\\Pictures\\Screenshot - Tuesday, August 11, 2015 6-33-58 AM.png'); // using local file for testing
var myFile2 = new File('C:\\Users\\Vayeate\\Pictures\\Screenshot - Tuesday, August 11, 2015 6-38-08 AM.png'); // using local file for testing

newFiles.push(myFile1);
newFiles.push(myFile2);

inputAddPhoto.mozSetFileArray(newFiles);

// Step 4 - Focus message field
// var richInputTweetMsg = aContentDocument.getElementById('tweet-box-global');
// richInputTweetMsg.focus(); // not needed because as when the modal opens twitter puts focus into here anways

// Step 5 - Done, now user can choose to type message, tag "whose in photo", and remove previews. The great thing is with this method, the images have not bothered twitter servers, the images are not uploaded until users final write off, when they click the "Tweet" button

Ukip leadership candidate in hospital after 'fight with MEP'
Posted on October 6, 2016 by Rik
Steven Woolfe, the Ukip leadership candidate who is an ally of Nigel Farage, collapsed today following an alleged fight with another of the party's MEPs and was rushed to hospital for a brain scan.
Mr Woolfe, the North West region MEP, had become embroiled in a violent "altercation" at a meeting in Strasbourg, according to party sources. He had two "epileptic-like fits", complained of numbness on the left side of his body and passed out after the row.
A photograph obtained by ITV News showed him lying spread-eagled and face-down on a gangway clutching a briefcase, while an attendant leaned over him.
Speaking from hospital, Mr Woolfe said that a CT scan had shown there was no blood clot on his brain. He said he was "feeling brighter, happier, and smiling, as ever", but would remain in hospital overnight to undergo secondary tests.
A row between Mr Woolfe and Mike Hookem, Ukip MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, was said to have broken out during a meeting of Ukip's European parliament delegation of MEPs and staffers at around 10am.

AI created the "ideal" non-dairy milk and the ingredients are pretty bizarre
NotMilk
ByTracey Anne Duncan
The future is officially here. While my robot vacuum cleans my house, I can safely visit my favorite coffee shop — without an N95 mask — and order a vegan latte with my choice of non-dairy milks. I never care which vegan milk is offered because, honestly, none of them actually taste like milk. Except that now they're starting to. There's a new AI-created vegan milk that promises to be much milkier, somehow, than any of its predecessors.
This new alt milk is called NotMilk, and it was created by Chilean start-up NotCo. I know, I know; we've seen an absolute glut in the market of milk substitutes in the past few years, but this one really seems to be different. All of the current offerings are sort of single note, as it were, and generally have a legume or bean base, like soy or cashew. This new NotMilk, however, is primarily made of pea protein, but has a whopping 18 ingredients, the most noteworthy of which are cabbage and pineapple. Yes, cabbages. Yes, pineapples.
But does simply having more — or more bizarre — ingredients somehow make this faux milk better? The short answer is, maybe. Traditional plant-based milks are generally, well, pretty traditional in how they're made. To make almond milk, for example, you grind soaked almonds with water and then squeeze out the liquid which — voila — you can call milk. NotMilk, on the other hand, was developed by an AI algorithm that used technology to analyze and then mimic the structure of milk as closely as possible down to a molecular level, reported the Washington Post.
The algorithm that created NotMilk is cutely called Giuseppe after Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a 16th century Italian painter who famously made portraits where the humans were made of fruits and vegetables. Basically, everything about this new vegan milk — besides the fact that its development is partially backed by Amazon Kingpin Jeff Bezos — is precious, from its AI creator down to its flavor, which some say tastes like milk that's been soaked in cereal and reviewers seem to love. Plus, it allegedly froths. I am not personally a fan of foam, but vegancinno lovers around the world can now rejoice and join in the world of elaborately decorated coffee.
NotMilk was intended to imitate the taste and mouthfeel of cow milk as closely as possible, without recreating the ridiculous carbon footprint of the dairy industry and — most importantly, to me — without harming any animals. Look, for the sake of cows, I honestly would just keep drinking the paltry fake milks that are currently available, but I am frankly delighted that something even milkier is on the horizon.

Baseball: Hard work transforms SWR grad Tyler Osik into pro prospect
By Joe Werkmeister

The path toward professional baseball has been a winding one for Tyler Osik.
As a third baseman for Shoreham-Wading River, where he graduated in 2014, Osik displayed a strong bat and feel for the game, no surprise given that his father, Keith, played in the majors for 10 years. Tyler Osik was a top player for the Wildcats, helping them to a county championship in 2012 as a sophomore. But a pro prospect? Even his high school coach, Sal Mignano, admitted it seemed unlikely back then.
Three years later, though, there was Osik's name in the 40th round of the Major League Baseball draft earlier this month, the 1,198th overall selection by the Pittsburgh Pirates. There are already plenty of pictures of Osik in a Pirates uniform. Of course, those are from his childhood when his dad played catcher for the Pirates, primarily as the backup catcher to all-star Jason Kendall.
"It was a cool experience for me and my family," Osik recalled this week of hearing his name called in the draft. "My whole family was happy. It was definitely a great day."
After the euphoria of the moment died down in the days that followed, Osik faced a decision: to sign and turn pro or attend the University of Central Florida to continue playing college baseball.
He ultimately decided on college.
"My goal is to up my draft status and hopefully get picked in a higher round and have a better opportunity next year," he said.
Osik's journey after high school has been one of perseverance, hard work and commitment. He played at two schools, underwent a shoulder surgery and dedicated himself to hitting the weight room and changing his diet to put himself in the kind of shape that allowed him to take his game to the next level.
"He took his athleticism to the next level after high school," Mignano said.
Osik's commitment in the weight room and through an improved diet allowed him to drop 35 pounds from his freshman year.
"It took a lot," he said. "When you're around a bunch of elite players, you see the way they take care of their bodies and eat."
At Chipola College, a strong junior college program in Florida, Osik committed himself to a nutritional plan with the assistance of one of his friends. Before that, though, Osik attended Coker College, a Division II program in South Carolina. He played one year there before deciding it wasn't a good fit for him. A friend of his father put him in contact with Chipola College. He played his sophomore year there but underwent shoulder surgery last August. It led to him sitting out this past season as a redshirt while the team went on to win the 2017 NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series.
Catching the attention of a pro scout can sometimes be all about timing. For Osik, that opportunity came just a short time before the draft. A scout had called Osik's father, expressing interest in a player on the Farmingdale State College baseball team where Keith coaches. Keith mentioned to the scout that his son had been getting some attention in Florida.
Osik went to the workout on May 30 in Connecticut where the scout observed him run a 60-yard dash, complete defensive workouts and hit. That led to additional pro workouts that left enough of an impression with the Pirates that they selected him in the draft.
Mignano said he ran into the scout at the Long Island Championship that Shoreham-Wading River was playing in. The same scout had been interested in Brian Morrell, the senior who was also drafted and who will attend the University of Notre Dame.
"We ended up having a conversation at the Long Island Championship that they had worked out Tyler the week before," Mignano said.
Sure enough, it would be the Pirates to select Osik in the draft.
Osik will play catcher going forward, a position he often played growing up, but in high school the team benefited from him at third base. He spent the beginning of the summer playing for the Westhampton Aviators in the Hampton Collegiate Baseball League, but recently returned to Florida to begin training at Chipola in advance of summer classes at his next stop: Central Florida, a strong Division I program that will keep him firmly in view of professional scouts next season.
Baseball has been a huge part of Osik's life since he was born and he doesn't plan to change that any time soon. When his playing days are over, he hopes to become a coach at the college level.
Until then, he'll continue playing ball as long as possible.
"My plan is to play as long as I can after college with a major league affiliate and however long that takes me, I'll play and work my hardest," he said.
