JR's 2018 NFL Mock Draft — 2.0
Posted on January 15, 2018 January 15, 2018 by JR
Once again, another NFL season has quickly passed us by. We are already entering championship weekend as the New England Patriots host the surprise Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship and the Minnesota Vikings go on the road to Philadelphia to battle the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. Both games having multiple storylines.
With that being said, many teams hopes and dreams have already come to an end. We are inching closer to draft season as this week officially kicks off the post-season All-Star games for draft prospects — the first being the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Florida, followed by the Senior Bowl next week in Mobile, Alabama. Rosters in both games are filled with intriguing prospects.
Here is the second edition of my monthly first-round mock draft. Containing each teams needs, selections, and an explanation for each pick.
(Draft order is based on playoff seeding and current order of teams that have already lost.)
Mock Draft: 2.0
Cleveland Browns: QB/Sam Darnold — USC
Needs: QB, CB, RB
It is time for the Browns to find "their guy" at quarterback. Everyone knows the awful history of draft selections that they have made in years past, but with newly hired general manager John Dorsey already having a bunch of draft capital in his pocket, this is the year where he has to select the signal caller to stamp on his early tenure in Cleveland. There's a long process to go, but with Josh Rosen's recent comments, it most likely will scare the team away from drafting him, instead turning their attention to Darnold.
New York Giants: QB/Josh Rosen — UCLA
Needs: OT, QB, RB
What will they do with Eli Manning? Nobody really knows. Dave Gettleman has a big decision to make. Rumors have surfaced that they're gearing up for a two-year run with Manning, but regardless they still should draft their quarterback of the future. Rosen gives them that. He has the personality, swagger, and overflowing confidence to handle the buzz saw that is the New York media on and off of the field. Adding Rosen to an offensive core of Odell Beckham Jr., Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard is a great start for Gettleman.
Indianapolis Colts: EDGE/Bradley Chubb — NC State
Needs: OT, EDGE, ILB
Let's be honest, this roster has arguably the most holes in the entire NFL. General manager Chris Ballard has an impressive track record in previous stops, but he has a long way to go to rebuild this roster. Chubb has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone though. NC State's all-time leader in sacks could speed up the start to the second year of their complete roster rebuild.
Cleveland Browns (from HOU): RB/Saquon Barkley — Penn State
With another pick in the top-5, Dorsey is all about adding talent no matter who it may be. This is a deep running back class, but with Isaiah Crowell all but certain to test the free agency waters and Duke Johnson not being an every down rusher, Saquon Barkley is that transcendent piece that Hue Jackson could potentially build his offense around going forward. Adding Darnold combined with Barkley makes the Browns offense considerably better than it was a season ago.
Denver Broncos: QB/Josh Allen — Wyoming
Needs: QB, OT, S
Clearly one of the worst QB situations of the 2017 season was the Broncos. Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian and Brock Osweiler aren't the answer. Josh Allen is one of the most polarizing prospects in this draft class.. After standing on the sideline during the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, it's clear that John Elway has interest in Allen. He checks all of the boxes of quarterback prospects that have interest them in years past.
New York Jets: QB/Baker Mayfield — Oklahoma
Needs: QB, OT, RB
Josh McCown had a surprisingly positive season for the team that many thought would be drafting No. 1 overall. He's positioned himself to be the bridge gap quarterback for at least another season. Now it is time for Todd Bowles to find his signal-caller of the future. Heisman Trophy winning QB Baker Mayfield would be a perfect fit in New York. Possessing extreme moxy, on the field leadership, and talent, Mayfield could flip the future outlook for the Jets in a hurry.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: S/Minkah Fitzpatrick — Alabama
Needs: EDGE, S, RB
After being a trendy favorite to make a huge leap in 2017, the Bucs faltered under heavy expectations. Tampa Bay could look to draft an edge rusher here, but a big reason for their failures last season was their leaky secondary, which battled injuries and some players just not living up to pre-season expectations. The T.J. Ward signing didn't go as well as expected. Fitzpatrick improves the back end of their defense the moment he's drafted, as he can play any position in the secondary.
Chicago Bears: WR/Calvin Ridley — Alabama
Needs: WR, CB, ILB
Ridley is the best receiver in this draft class. After not being able to showcase his talents consistently because of below average quarterback play, it was clear that when he did get his opportunities that he was exceptional. After what we saw in the 2017 draft, this may seem like a reach this early on, but the Bears desperately need talent on the perimeter for Trubisky. Newly hired head coach Matt Nagy seems adamant about surrounding his young thrower with multiple weapons.
San Francisco 49ers (*coin flip): OG/Quenton Nelson — Notre Dame
Needs: WR, OG, CB
The quick emergence of Jimmy Garoppolo during the latter half of the season has expedited the 49ers rebuild. They are now in position to take the best player available on their draft board. Why not draft immediate protection for your prized investment that you traded a second-round pick for? Quenton Nelson is as safe of a prospect as there is in this entire draft class. It would not surprise me at all if he is an All-Pro selection as a rookie. He also fits Kyle Shanahan's offensive system perfectly.
Oakland Raiders (*coin flip): LB/Roquan Smith — Georgia
Needs: ILB, CB, OT
There's plenty of buzz in Oakland now that the Raiders have successfully convinced Jon Gruden to exit the broadcast booth. His press conference left you wanting to run through a wall for him. The offense is filled with a plethora of talent in many areas, but their defense is another story. Outside of Khalil Mack, they have no true difference makers. Gruden will look for play-makers. Roquan Smith provides an identity and centerpiece for the silver and black defense that they desperately have been searching for. For Gruden, the former Georgia linebacker could prove to be a similar form of Derrick Brooks on that side of the ball.
Miami Dolphins: CB/Denzel Ward— Ohio State
Needs: OG, ILB, CB
The Dolphins need help at guard and edge rusher, but the value isn't here at those spots. Another spot that they need help at is cornerback. Xavien Howard and Cordrea Tankersely are two young pieces that the team has added recently, but they both haven't shown the developement that should make them hesitate from adding more pieces to their secondary. Denzel Ward gives them another young man-to-man corner, that has more upside that any other cover man currently on the roster.
Cincinnati Bengals: OT/Connor Williams — Texas
Needs: LB, OT, QB
The Jake Fisher and Cedric Ogbuehi experiments have been colossal failures. This team needs talent at multiple spots, but offensive line might be the biggest. After losing Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler to free agency, the team has failed to restock the deck at offensive line. Connor Williams would potentially provide added competition to Fisher and Ogbuehi. Marvin Lewis must find a way to protect Andy Dalton.
Green Bay Packers (*coin flip): CB/Josh Jackson — Iowa
Needs: EDGE, CB, TE
Clay Matthews will be 32 years old next season and entering the final year of a five-year, $66 million extension that he signed in 2014. With that being said, it is arguable that the Packers could look to draft an edge rusher here, but the value doesn't seem to be there. They also need help in the secondary. Jackson provides them with another option to add alongside Kevin King and needed insurance for Quinten Rollins and Damarious Randall in case their development doesn't improve next season.
Washington Redskins (*coin flip): S/Derwin James — Florida State
Needs: LB, S, QB
The team potentially has a huge hole to fill if they do not franchise tag Kirk Cousins for the third consecutive season. At $34.5 million, tagging Cousins would be very costly, but we're not at the point yet, so let's assume that Cousins stays on the roster. Safeties D.J. Swearinger and Montae Nicholson were surprise positives on the back end of the Redskins defense, but they still could get a higher end talent at those spots. Derwin James gives them an ultimate chess piece as a strong safety or as an extra linebacker in certain packages.
Arizona Cardinals: QB/Lamar Jackson — Louisville
Needs: QB, OT, C
It's no secret that the Cardinals are starving for a quarterback. Entering 2018, with the recent retirement of Carson Palmer, there currently aren't any on the roster under contract as Matt Barkley, Blaine Gabbert, and Drew Stanton are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. The roster has been on the downswing since the 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the 2016 NFC Championship game. What better way to give a jolt to that roster than to draft arguably the most electrifying prospect in this draft class.
Baltimore Ravens: WR/Courtland Sutton — SMU
Needs: WR, OG, ILB
The Breshad Perriman pick can be labeled as a failure. Mike Wallace and Jeremy Maclin are set to be free agents and the team has a clear need at receiver. Joe Flacco went through an entire season without having a go to target and it ended up being one of the biggest reasons why he had the worst statistical year of his career. Sutton provides Flacco with a big body target that has a wide catch radius.
Los Angeles Chargers: NT/Vita Vea — Washington
Needs: DT, ILB, QB
Starting nose tackle Brandon Mebane will be 32 years old at the start of the 2018 season, and entering the final season of his contract. The Chargers had the second worst run defense in the NFL last season. Inserting Vita Vea at the head of the Bolts 3-4 defensive front provides an instant improvement in both areas. Vea gives the franchise a youth alternative for life after Mebane and his specialty is defending the run where the team was among the worst in the entire league.
Seattle Seahawks: OT/Mike McGlinchey — Notre Dame
Needs: OT, RB, CB
The Seahawks have shaken up their entire coaching staff, firing offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and offensive line coach Tom Cable. Acquiring left tackle Duane Brown from the Texans was a step in the positive direction as to finding protection for their franchise quarterback in Russell Wilson. It still seems like a group that needs a lot of help though. They have to find a replacement for right tackle Germain Ifedi, who clearly was the weak link of the entire group. While very inconsistent against speedy edge rushers, Mike McGlinchey provides immediate competition for Ifedi and the hope would be that the former Notre Dame All-American can eventually overtakes Ifedi to become the starting right tackle.
Dallas Cowboys: DT/Maurice Hurst — Michigan
Needs: DT, WR, CB
Rod Marinelli is very well respected around the NFL and it is clear that he loves to draft and develop defensive lineman. Defensive end Taco Charlton experienced and up and down rookie year, but flashed more during the latter half of the season. David Irving and Maliek Collins are good pieces in the middle of their defense, but they seem to be lacking a true under tackle. Hurst is arguably the best interior defensive lineman in this class and has the potential to be a plug and play starter.
Detroit Lions: RB/Derrius Guice — LSU
Needs: EDGE, RB, OLB
Matt Patricia looks to be the favorite to land the head coaching job for the the Lions and we still don't know who his offensive coordinator will be. Speculation though is that he would like to keep offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. One of the biggest questions that the team must address though is their lack of a running game. Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah are solid No. 2 rushers in a running back by committee rotation. The team needs a true bell-cow runner. Someone that Stafford can turn around and hand off to 20-plus times a game. Guice is without question a prospect that could fill that void. Inserting the former LSU rusher takes a lot of the heavy offensive load off of Stafford and the passing game.
Buffalo Bills: DT/Da'Ron Payne — Alabama
Needs: DT, LB, QB
One of the biggest surprises of the season was the success of first year head coach Sean McDermott and the Bills. After trading Ronald Darby, Marcell Dareus and Kelvin Benjamin, many wrote off the team and accused them of purposely tanking. A 10-3 loss in the Wild Card round to the Jaguars far exceeded many's expectations for this team. With the future seeming to be somewhat bright, their biggest questions that they have to answer are at quarterback and at spots in the middle of their defense. Da'Ron Payne improves the interior of their defense and gives them a gritty, no nonsense prospect that matches the identity of the culture that McDermott is attempting to build upon.
Buffalo Bills (from KC): LB/Rashaan Evans — Alabama
With consecutive picks, the Bills will obviously be looking to draft a quarterback, but with the top prospects that are first-round worthy all gone, picking one here would be a massive reach. They should continue to improve building upon the interior of their defense and draft Payne's teammate in Rashaan Evans. After being at the center of Nick Saban's national championship defense, Evans translates well to McDermott's defensive scheme. He is a versatile linebacker that also can be used as an edge rusher.
Los Angeles Rams: CB/Isaiah Oliver — Colorado
Needs: CB, OG, EDGE
One of the biggest surprises of the 2017 season was the instant turnaround of the now Los Angeles Rams and first year head coach Sean McVay. The offense was a juggernaut throughout the season and rightfully so with so many additions prior to the season. Now it is time to focus their efforts on the defense. Locking up Aaron Donald seems to be a priority. The teams top three cover corners, Trumaine Johnson, Lamarcus Joyner, and Nickell Robey-Coleman are set to become free agents. All three will cost a lot of money and it is unlikely that all will be re-signed. Set to lose someone, the team has to address cornerback. With great length, ball skills and tremendous upside, Oliver is an ideal fit and a solid value selection at this point in the draft.
Carolina Panthers: EDGE/Marcus Davenport — UTSA
Needs: EDGE, WR, CB
The Panthers could address receiver here, but spending multiple draft picks in 2017 on the offense and with Thomas Davis already coming out and saying that 2018 will be his final season, it is logical to think that they will put a heavy emphasis on improving their defense. Julius Peppers is set to be a free agent and Charles Johnson has troubles staying on the field, leaving Mario Addison as the teams only reliable edge rusher on the roster. Marcus Davenport is a high upside pick and he surely is a prospect that will rise up draft boards the closer we get to April. The former UTSA edge rusher is a perfect fit and is a pick that could pay dividends later on down the road.
Tennessee Titans: EDGE/Arden Key — LSU
Needs: EDGE, OG, S
The Titans made a surprising coaching change, firing head coach Mike Mularkey. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is believed to be the favorite. Whoever overtakes this job clearly understands that there are plenty of positive pieces on offense, but their defense needs upgrades and depth at multiple positions. There are lots of off the field questions surrounding Arden Key and that will most likely be some of the biggest reasons why he experiences a fall in the draft. The edge rushers talent is other worldly though and why he most likely will be a first-round selection. After a promising season that ended in a divisional round loss to the Patriots, the Titans still have to make significant improvements on their defense. Getting a value pick in Key gives them help on the edge that they need.
Atlanta Falcons: S/Ronnie Harrison — Alabama
Needs: OG, DT, S
The Falcons defense is filled with young stars on all three levels. Grady Jarrett, Deion Jones and Keanu Neal all seem to be franchise cornerstones for years to come, but Dan Quinn's defense could use an upgrade at safety. Known to look for players that possess alpha mentalities and are tone setters, Ronnie Harrison fits that mold perfectly. Known as one of the vocal leaders on Alabama's defense, pairing him on the roof of the defense alongside Neal potentially gives the Falcons one of the best young safety tandems in the entire league.
New Orleans Saints: DT/Taven Bryan — Florida
Needs: ILB, S, DT
A heartbreaking 29-24 loss to the Vikings ended the Saints season abruptly. Their offense is loaded and the 2017 draft class set the bar extremely high entering this off-season. Arguably one of the biggest risers throughout the early portion of draft season has been the former Gator interior defender, Known for his relentlessness and non-stop motor, pairing Bryan with 2016 first-round selection Sheldon Rankins makes a formidable tandem up the middle of Sean Payton's defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers: LB/Tremaine Edmunds — Virginia Tech
Needs: ILB, OT, S
Edmunds is a name that will continue to rise as his measurables are off the chart and his potential is through the roof. At 6-5, 250 pounds, he possesses rare size for an inside linebacker and is a prospect that can play multiple positions. After losing Ryan Shazier, it was evident that the Steelers lacked depth on the second level of their defense. Edmunds athleticism and quickness are traits that the team will highly covet.
Jacksonville Jaguars: TE/Mark Andrews — Oklahoma
Needs: QB, TE, OG
Tom Coughlin has copied the blueprint that helped him winSuper Bowls with the New York Giants. Developing a suffocating defense and a dominant running game has made the Jaguars quarterback proof and they are on their well to playing in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots. Blake Bortles has the team on a championship run and the team could definitely use an upgrade at quarterback, but another hole on the roster is at tight end. Mercedes Lewis and Ben Koyack are the two top tight ends on the roster. Andrews doesn't provide much value as an in-line run blocker, but he is a big target in the passing game that could win from attached sets and out on the perimeter.
Minnesota Vikings: DT/Christian Wilkins — Clemson
Needs: DT, OG, QB
From top to bottom, there aren't many needs on the Vikings roster. General manager Rick Spielman has done a solid job of drafting and filling the teams roster with talent throughout his tenure. One of the most glaring holes though is at defensive tackle. Tom Johnson is set to become an unrestricted free agent, combined with turning 34 years old next season, 2017 third-round selection Jaleel Johnson hasn't seen the field very much and Sharrif Floyd is a relatively unknown since having complications from a surgical procedure on his knee. Wilkins is a name that has taken a bit of a tumble over the past few months because of his hot and cold motor. The Vikings are a team that is known to take advantage of prospects that one were once heavily sought after, but somehow experience draft day slides. Wilkins is the most recent case in this scenario.
Philadelphia Eagles: OT/Orlando Brown — Oklahoma
Needs: OT, ILB, CB
With Jason Peters coming off knee surgery and having a $10.6 million cap hit in 2018, it would be wise for the Eagles to start preparing for life after Peters. Similar to Peters, Orlando Brown is a massive prospect. At 6-7, 345 pounds, Brown is best suited at right tackle, which allows the team to shift Lane Johnson to being their blindside protector for multiple years. Having Peters, Johnson and adding Brown to have as your bookends is very admirable for Philadelphia to protect Carson Wentz, who is coming off a knee injury of his own.
New England Patriots: EDGE/Harold Landry — Boston College
Needs: CB, EDGE, QB
The Patriots are in position to take the best player available on their board. They rarely ever have flashy names throughout the entire roster, but they have personnel that always has high belief in the scheme that they are placed in. Landry is a prospect that fits the Patriots way perfectly. Specializing as a pass rusher, pressure off of the edge is an area where the franchise could use more help at.

Notes on Aristophanes and Plato
By Thomas Gray
DE REPUBLICA.
BOOK VIII.
HEADS OF THE EIGHTH DIALOGUE.
Plato here resumes the subject which he had dropped at the end of the fourth book. (p. 445.)
P. 544. Four distinct kinds of government are enumerated, which deviate from the true form, and gradually grow worse and worse: namely, 1. the timocracy, (so he calls the Lacedæmonian or Cretan constitution,) 2. the oligarchy, 3. the democracy, and 4. tyranny: they are produced by as many different corruptions of the mind and manners of the inhabitants.

Secret avarice and love of pleasure are the consequence of private property. The neglect of musick and of letters. The preference given to the exercises of the body. The prevalence of the irascible over the rational part of the soul.
The character of a citizen in such a state and the origin of such a character are described.

As they were used, I imagine, hardly enough by their superiours, and had no share in the government, many authors do not distinguish them from the Heilotæ, who were absolutely slaves ; yet, in reality, they seem to have been on a distinct footing, being reckoned free men, and employed by the Spartan government to command such troops as they often sent abroad, consisting of Heilotæ, to whom they had given their liberty. The IIeplockol likewise seem to have had the property of lands, for when Lycurgus divided the country into thirty thousand portions, and gave nine thousand of them to the Spartans, to whom did the other twenty-one thousand portions belong, unless to the IIeploukol ? who else should people the hundred cities, besides villages, which were once in Laconia ? It is plain, also, that the IIEPLOlkol served in war, as Óttal, or heavy-armed foot, which the Heilotæ never did : see ThucyVOL. IV.

Goldman Sachs in talks to admit guilt, pay $2B fine in 1MDB scandal
Goldman Sachs might purchase E-Trade: Sources
FOX Business' Charlie Gasparino discusses how Goldman Sachs could reportedly eye the acquisition of E-Trade as it continues to expand into retail space.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is in talks with the U.S. government to pay a multibillion-dollar fine, admit guilt and agree to ongoing oversight of its compliance procedures in order to resolve a criminal investigation into its role in a Malaysian corruption scandal.
Goldman and the Justice Department have largely agreed on a fine of just under $2 billion to settle allegations that the Wall Street firm ignored red flags while billions of dollars were looted from its client, a Malaysian government fund known as 1MDB, people familiar with the matter said.
The bank and U.S. officials have discussed a deal in which a Goldman subsidiary in Asia--not the parent company--would plead guilty to violating U.S. bribery laws, some of the people said. The discussions also involve Goldman installing an independent monitor to oversee and recommend changes to its compliance procedures, the people said.
GOLDMAN SACHS SAYS IT WILL SUPPORT 'GREEN' INITIATIVES MORE FORCEFULLY
Talks are ongoing and the outlines of a deal, which could be reached early next year, may change.
The settlement wouldn't resolve an investigation by authorities in Malaysia, which is seeking billions of dollars from Goldman. It couldn't be determined whether other U.S. regulators would join the settlement or pursue their own.
"Resolution discussions are ongoing, and it is irresponsible to speculate on an outcome," a Goldman spokeswoman said.
Last week, Goldman President John Waldron told CNBC: "We don't control the outcome, obviously. We're one party. We have a number of people to talk to...we're working as hard as we can to try to get it resolved sensibly."
Representatives of the Justice Department declined to comment.
Settling with the Justice Department would clear a matter that has weighed on Goldman's stock price. But new, tighter oversight would keep the bank under the shadow of a scandal that its chief executive, David Solomon, is eager to move past.
ALASKA GOVERNOR ON GOLDMAN SACHS ARCTIC DRILLING SNUB: WILL 'REVALUATE' RELATIONSHIP
Goldman raised $6.5 billion for 1MDB, the abbreviation for 1Malaysia Development Bhd., much of which U.S. authorities say was stolen by a Malaysian government adviser, Jho Low, and two Goldman bankers. Prosecutors say the bank ignored warning signs about Low and the fund in pursuit of fees that eventually reached about $600 million.
One of the bankers, Tim Leissner, pleaded guilty to stealing more than $200 million from 1MDB and this week agreed to a lifetime ban from the securities industry. Leissner is cooperating with investigators, The Wall Street Journal has previously reported, and is scheduled to be sentenced next year.
The other banker, a Malaysian national named Roger Ng, has pleaded not guilty in a New York court and also faces charges in Malaysia.
Low agreed in October to forfeit more than $700 million in assets to U.S. authorities but hasn't admitted to wrongdoing and remains a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system.
Goldman has said that Leissner and Ng, who are no longer with the bank, were rogue actors who intentionally misled their bosses and siphoned money through personal accounts out of view of the bank.
A third executive, previously reported by the Journal to be a Hong Kong-based banker named Andrea Vella, is alleged by U.S. authorities to have known about the scheme. He hasn't been charged and remains on administrative leave from Goldman. A lawyer for Vella couldn't be reached for comment.
At $2 billion, a 1MDB-related fine would be one of the largest levied by the Justice Department against a bank since the mortgage settlements following the financial crisis. It is money Goldman can ill-afford as it struggles to boost revenue and is spending heavily on growth initiatives. The bank doesn't disclose its legal reserves.
Bloomberg earlier reported the possibility of a settlement of around $2 billion.
The resolution of the 1MDB matter may also hit compensation for Goldman executives. The bank's board reserved the right to claw back pay from Solomon and his predecessor, Lloyd Blankfein, as well as other top officials, pending the outcome of 1MDB investigations.
Independent monitors, often hired from law or consulting firms, are used to ensure that companies comply with settlement terms. They were widely required, for example, in the wake of the subprime-mortgage crisis to track banks' progress in forgiving loans to struggling homeowners.
Monitors can be expensive-- HSBC Holdings PLC hired thousands of staffers to clean up its money-laundering controls after a government settlement in 2012--and could make it harder for Goldman to make acquisitions or other moves that require approval from Washington.
Still unresolved is whether Goldman would receive credit offsetting any penalty paid to the Justice Department if the bank were to pay any fine to Malaysia, the people familiar with the matter said. That country's prime minister was swept into power on an anticorruption platform after the 1MDB scandal, for which his predecessor faces criminal charges. The former prime minister, Najib Razak, has pleaded not guilty.
Malaysia has filed criminal charges against Goldman itself, plus 17 current and former employees in its Asia offices. A Goldman spokeswoman at the time said the charges were "misdirected."

Productivity In the Cut
Ask any paving contractor and they will tell you that productivity is important on milling and paving projects. Therefore, it's common to find Schwarze sweepers following right behind milling machines that are often covering 100 to 130 feet per minute, with a paving crew usually following right behind the sweepers. In such a delicate, time-sensitive process, Schwarze's M6 Avalanche allows contractors to stay productive "in the cut" with features like variable controlled conveyor and broom speeds, a 45 second dump cycle, operator presets, and one button sweep/standby. Reliability is also important. That's why all Schwarze sweepers have Canbus for quick troubleshooting and a design that is simple to repair and maintain. This means less time in the shop and more time behind the mill generating revenue. But don't take our word for it, listen to what some of the nation's leading contractors have to say about owning and operating a Schwarze:
VIDEO CASE STUDY: C.J. Miller Paving
M6 Avalanche Milling Features Video
VIDEO CASE STUDY: TCM Sweeping (NJ,PA)
Operators Talk About 6 Sense Controls
Maintenance Talks About Simplicity & Reliability
Setting Up 6 Sense for Millings
CASE STUDY: Productivity for Mill & Fill
The company's sweepers follow right behind grinders that are often covering 100 to 130 feet per minute.
Bryan Szeremi got started in the industry in 1998, working for his uncle and eventually buying his own machines. In 2003, he bought his first new regenerative air sweeper truck—an A7000 street sweeper from Schwarze Industries—and he never looked back.
Now the owner of Sacramento-based Szeremi Sweeping Service, Szeremi has since built a strong relationship with Schwarze and its local dealer, Municipal Maintenance Equipment. After replacing all of his Mobil sweepers with Schwarze's M6 twin engine cabovers, Szeremi today has a fleet of 24 Schwarze trucks that his company confidently relies on for its cleaning services for the construction, residential and municipal industries.
TACKLING MILL & FILL APPLICATIONS
A common job for Szeremi Sweeping are mill and fill projects, where the existing surface layer on the road is removed and replaced with new asphalt. Cleaning the roads between these two steps is a key part of the process.
On these projects, Szeremi's sweepers are following right behind grinders that are often covering 100 to 130 feet per minute, with a paving crew usually following right behind the sweepers. With such a delicate, time-sensitive process, Szeremi says Schwarze's M6 machines allow them to keep up. He points to the variable controlled conveyor and broom speed and the speed of the dump cycle (just 45 seconds) as key attributes for the mill and fill application.
"It's a very fast dump cycle, and every dump cycle counts," he says. "We probably dump 15 to 20 times an hour if we're really picking up some real thick stuff."
Without an efficient dump cycle, sweepers can hold up the entire process, sometimes forcing the whole production to stop until the sweeper gets caught up. Keeping up is a big deal, and Schwarze's M6 heavy duty mechanical broom sweeper allows Szeremi's team to do that.
"When our contractors call and they tell us they've got a paving job or a grinding job, we lean on the M6. That's what we have to put out there on those job sites to get that job done," says Szeremi.
ADJUSTING FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Besides milling and paving applications, Szeremi says Schwarze's equipment allows his team to diversify into other applications. The equipment works well for heavy dirt trackout applications from construction sites, and the regenerative air vacuum is well suited for concrete plants that they sweep for fine dust particles.
"We also use it on job sites where there's lot of dust issues in conjunction with the mechanical sweeper," Szeremi says. "So we use both together at the same time, between the regenerative air and the mechanical."
This flexibility allows Szeremi to adjust for any given situation. For example, if they're working with really wet mud, they'll usually use just the regenerative air. But if they're working with heavy, caked-down mud, then they use both machines: the mechanical to carry the heavy particles, and the regenerative air to pick up all the fine particles.
A FAVORABLE RELATIONSHIP
Along with the low downtime, wide range of applications and overall quality of the Schwarze sweepers, Szeremi says the reliability of the machines is the top benefit. He also says that Schwarze itself has been a great longtime partner and is "there with us, all the way."
Not only is Szeremi impressed with Schwarze equipment, but his clients are as well. His company is often out on jobs around the state of California and occasionally other areas of the western U.S.
"That's what our customers like to see us bring out to the job site," he says of the Schwarze sweepers. "It's our go-to machine."

Also for starting this topic.
You have come in a good time. Welcome buddy.
I've been a fan for twelve years, but being a European - where LP often came for festivals rather than solo tours (or at least the festival-appearances were the ones I heard about most from others; I know they toured everywhere as a band) - and autistic - meaning that, especially as a teen, big crowds and partying weren't my thing - I never ended up seeing a concert. Due to this lack of 'live' involvement I never joined the LPU, although I'm pretty sure I did consider it at times.
I did follow Mike fairly actively right as he started his solo career, so as soon as I found out he was coming to Europe I bought tickets on the day sales opened. But then about three weeks later, around mid-December, I decided at work to play all LP albums in order, on one day. That day changed me; I completely re-discovered the band, and ever since LP is 99% of what I listen to. On new year's day I re-watched their Milton Keynes concert while I was on a long bus journey. It was really emotional, as I played the DVD of that concert literally daily for a good period of time as a teen, but then hadn't watched it in years. That day I made the decision that I was gonna have their logo tattoo'd on me (which I did, three weeks into this year).
I thought about the LPU a few times in the past few months but I didn't realise that Mike's fan-stuff went through here as well. When I saw on Mike's Facebook that sign-ups were open for a meet and greet, I immediately, and finally, went here and bought a membership. So Mike's M&G was a catalyst that made that happen, but it's not as if I did it only to gain access to that; as I said I wasn't really sure if LPU was still active in general.
Not having seen LP live at any point when I definitely had opportunities to is something that I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself for. 20 June 2017 will forever be engraved on my mind as the day that they were in Amsterdam with Chester for the last time, and I was off doing whatever worthless thing I was doing when I really should have been there. I can only try to be happy that I'm here now and hope that seeing Mike live will help me heal a little.
Let the past be, it will never change.
Some say, the same goes for the future.
But what the hack do I know.
Just, as long as I am been here, it is a great place!
First of all, welcome new people!
I remember wanting to join the LPU when I was thirteen. I had received Hybrid Theory as a Christmas gift in 2001, and up until then, I had never related to anything more in my life.
The only reason I didn't join was because my parents said that "there are a lot of bad people on the Internet".
So I joined my first year out of high school, in 2008 (LPU7). I was in Best Buy one day and my eye caught the LPU bundles they had displayed.
Not only the perks that came with the membership, but the reason I keep renewing is because of this community, and the friendships and the memories I've made here over the last eleven years.

Mathematical Insights into the West African Monsoon
A tool from dynamic systems theory is helping atmospheric scientists identify how dust and moisture mix over West Africa.
by Kate Wheeling 26 August 2020

Agriculture in the Sahel—the arid band of grasslands dividing the Sahara desert and African rain forests—is tightly linked with the climate system. Farmers rely on rainfall, most of which arrives in summer when the West African monsoon system shifts direction. From June through September, the prevailing winds carry moist ocean air inland over West Africa. Understanding how the monsoon moves moisture and dust—important ingredients for cloud formation and thus rainfall—is critical for the region's farmers and those who rely on their crops.
But the West African monsoon is notoriously complex, and its transport processes are still not well understood. Now, in a new study, an interdisciplinary team of researchers provides a new tool to study the transport processes that bring rain to the Sahel.
"It gives a new perspective on a system that we have been puzzled about for a long time."
The study, published last month in Scientific Reports, uses a mathematical tool to identify the sources of both moisture and dust, which can trigger condensation (an important step in cloud formation), and to trace their three-dimensional trajectories across the monsoon system.
"It gives a new perspective on a system that we have been puzzled about for a long time," said Peter Knippertz, a professor of meteorology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany who was not involved in the study.
"A lot of the models we use today to forecast the African monsoon, they are just really bad," Knippertz said. "It's a very complicated and very dynamic system." And an unreliable one: There's substantial variation in the amount of rain the monsoon brings, with sometimes devastating consequences. An extended drought that began in the late 1960s and peaked in the 1980s led to widespread famine that killed tens of thousands of people across the Sahel. Rainfall levels have yet to fully recover.
Predicting rainfall in tropical Africa is exceedingly difficult; our standard weather models rarely provide accurate forecasts even a day out, according to Knippertz. That's partly due to a lack of observations in the region and partly because those models were developed in more temperate regions like the United States and Europe, which have different climate and atmospheric dynamics.
"In Africa, you have a combination of a lack of observations and very, very challenging meteorology," Knippertz said.
A New Model of Mixing
The team used daily averages of nearly 40 years of horizontal and vertical wind velocity observations from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' ERA-Interim meteorological analysis data set to identify the mean velocity fields during the month of August—the peak month of the monsoon. Climatologists have long used these mean climatological velocity fields to paint a broad picture of transport within the monsoon. Here the team applied a tool from dynamical systems theory called Lagrangian descriptors to gain deeper insights into the source and mixture of moisture and dust through the atmospheric features of the monsoon, including the African Easterly Jet and the Tropical Easterly Jet. Their method provides a geometrical partition (separating moisture-bearing particles that originated on the ocean surface from dust-bearing ones coming from the land surface), which allows researchers to track where the particles mixed.
"We were able to discover pathways that were not very well described in the literature," said lead author Ana Maria Mancho, a research scientist at the Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas in Spain. One of the pathways connected the two jet streams.
"I always regarded those as pretty much independent systems," said Knippertz. "To see that there seems to be natural exchange of air between the two, that's to me the most interesting point."
"It's nice that ideas can come from an abstract world like mathematics and at the end can have real implications for real problems."
But although the new tool provides revealing insights about transport in the West African monsoon system, it is not a complete picture. Knippertz cautions that the ERA-Interim data set doesn't capture key processes that could affect transport, like thunderstorms and turbulence. "They are not really represented in such a data set," he said, "and of course, in an energetic system like the West African monsoon, they are responsible for a lot of transport and mixing between air masses."
The authors claim that eventually, the new method could inform drought assessments because it can identify where humidity and dust mix—conditions that favor the formation of clouds. But it remains to be seen whether this method can improve cloud parameterization, the numerical approximations weather models use to simulate cloud behavior. Mancho cautions that this study didn't look at cloud formation directly.
"We are just finding ingredients that are important for cloud formation, and cloud formation is important for rain," she said. "But not all clouds lead to rain." More work is needed for the tool to have a direct impact on precipitation or drought indices.
But the study provides an example of how interdisciplinary work can provide researchers with new perspectives on old problems and on their own fields.
"For me, the velocity fields that I had were just velocity fields, but then suddenly, you realize that that is not just a number, it's a very important process in the troposphere that is controlling a very important thing for the lives of the people down there," Mancho said. "It's nice that ideas can come from an abstract world like mathematics and at the end can have real implications for real problems."

Q: Print ArrayList from another Activity using ListView I'm trying to print a string from ArrayList in my another Activity using ListView. I passed a key and values in my intent variable. Using this.
MainActivity
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ViewCart.class);

mealOneIncrement++;
quantityOne.setText(Integer.toString(mealOneIncrement));
mealOneCost = mealOneIncrement * mealOnePrice;
price.setText(Double.toString(mealOneCost));

String mealOneSummayName = name.toString();
String mealOneSummaryDescription = description.toString();
String mealOneSummaryQuantity = String.valueOf(mealOneIncrement);
String mealOneSummaryCost = String.valueOf(mealOneCost);

arrayList.add(mealOneSummayName);
arrayList.add(mealOneSummaryDescription);
arrayList.add(mealOneSummaryQuantity);
arrayList.add(mealOneSummaryCost);

intent.putExtra("data", arrayList);

As you can see here I passed arrayList variable as value for able to passed this from another Activity.
SecondActivity
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

String[] mealSummary = {};
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mealSummary);
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();

String data = bundle.getString("data");
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

I'm little bit confuse in this part String data = bundle.getString("data"); I'm not sure if I'm passing a correct variable to my ListView so I can able to show the arrayList variable in my ListView. Am I doing it wrong? Any help would appreciated :)

A: There are some problems with your code:
intent.putExtra("data", arrayList);

you are putting inside the bundle an arrayList of String, but then
String data = bundle.getString("data");

you are getting just a String. You need to use bundle.getStringArrayList("data").
ArrayList<String> data = bundle.getStringArrayList("data")

Also (not related to your problem), I recommend to use
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ViewCart.class);

instead of
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ViewCart.class);

A: Pass Arraylist as putStringArrayListExtra,
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, ViewCart.class);
    intent.putStringArrayListExtra("data", arrayList);
    startActivity(intent);

Get your ArrayList using getStringArrayListExtra,
    arrayList = getIntent().getStringArrayListExtra("data");

A: You could modify this a bit.
In your secondActivity get the data like
ArrayList<String> data = getIntent().getSerializableExtra("data");

Now you got your data in an arrayList. If you wish to add this data to mealSummary then use,
mealSummary = (String[]) data.toArray();

Don't forget to call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()

The Biden-Harris Inauguration - Celebrating a Year of Firsts
Today at 12 p.m. on January 20, 2021 we joyfully celebrate the inauguration of the Biden-Harris presidency. Kamala Harris will be making history three times by becoming the first black and Asian American woman to become vice president. Just five years ago, the United States wasn't ready for a woman to hold office, but we have finally arrived at a point where a woman of color (still very crazy to say that) is occupying the second highest position of power in the United States, and we think this is exactly what this nation needs.
Born in Oakland, and raised in Berkeley, California by her Jamaican immigrant father and her Indian immigrant mother. At 13 years old, Harris's interest in politics manifested when she and her sister led a demonstration in front of her apartment building challenging a rule that banned children from playing on the lawn.
She is a proud Howard University alumni, graduating in 1986 with a degree in political science and economics. She got her political beginnings in 2003 when she became the first black woman to become district attorney in California. In 2011, she was elected attorney general of California, and subsequently became senator to California in 2017.
Kamala is not just setting a precedent for the United States, but a precedent for young women everywhere. She is teaching the next generation of young women to believe that their goals are within reach and worth chasing. She is showing young girls that their dreams are not unattainable or too ambitious.
She is teaching young women to not be intimidated by exclusive male dominated positions of power, but to face them head on instead, because it's okay to ruffle some feathers. She is teaching young women to work hard for what they want if they want to be the change that they want to see.
She is inspiring young women to not worry about the naysayers that may have nasty things to say about them, but to stay diligent and focused. The naysayers won't be running their mouths when you've made your way to the top. She is inspiring young women of the next generation, because she is a testament of what it means to break down society's view of leadership in America.
Kamala Harris is inspiring the next generation of young women, especially young women of color, to not be afraid, and instead to believe that maybe America is a country of possibility and opportunity. Kamala Harris is a reflection of today's America, and it's our job to make sure that she is not the last.

InsideClimate News Wins SABEW Awards for Business Journalism for Agriculture, Military Series
ICN won two first-place awards in the annual Best in Business contest, in addition to being awarded an honorable mention in a third category.
By Staff, InsideClimate News
ICN's award-winning 2018 series: Harvesting Peril: Extreme Weather and Climate Change on the American Farm and Dangers Without Borders: Military Readiness in a Warming World.
Three InsideClimate News projects have been honored for outstanding business journalism, with the series Harvesting Peril: Extreme Weather and Climate Change on the American Farm winning top honors for explanatory reporting for small market and Dangers Without Borders: Military Readiness in a Warming World winning top honors for government reporting for small market.
The news story Surrounded by Oil Fields, an Alaska Village Fears for Its Health, about the town of Nuiqsut, was also awarded an honorable mention in The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW) Best in Business awards.
Harvesting Peril describes how the American Farm Bureau Federation, the nation's largest farm lobby, has worked to undermine climate science and derail climate policy, putting at risk the very farmers it represents. The stories were reported and written by Georgina Gustin, John H. Cushman, Jr., and Neela Banerjee after months of investigation. They included in-depth graphic art by Paul Horn and explanatory video by Anna Belle Peevey. The series previously won two first-place awards from the North American Agricultural Journalists association.
The SABEW judges wrote: "This stunning series takes you inside agriculture's role as perpetrator and victim of climate change. Exceptionally well done, including a look inside the power of Farm Bureau. The package explains how farms can be part of the solution." The series shared first place honors with the Project on Government Oversight's Drilling Down series.
Dangers Without Borders, an ongoing ICN series, examines the ways in which threats to national security are being multiplied by climate change—from how rising seas, flooding and other extreme climatic events threaten military bases and infrastructure to how destabilizing weather worsens tensions abroad that could draw in U.S. forces.
The judges said they "were impressed by InsideClimate News' sheer scope and ambition with this project. Stories were written clearly and in real, not hypothetical terms—a difficult feat considering this is about a threat often discussed in the future tense. We loved the graphics and visuals, which aided the presentation."
The story on health concerns in the village of Nuiqsut, a community in the midst of Alaska's most prolific oil region, was by Sabrina Shankman and was honored in the health/science reporting category.

The year was 2014 and the movie which pleasantly surprised everyone was EK VILLAIN; the movie starring Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor and directed by Mohit Suri and the film had dialogues by Milap Zaveri. Fast forward to 2018 and after an authorized hit at the box-office, writer Milap Zaveri is touching new heights. A lot of props has to also go to the producers backing the director, namely, Nikkhil Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Monisha Advani of Emmay Entertainment who are now working towards the second movie with the director. According to our highly placed sources, the makers are working on a tight thriller and are in talks with both Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh to star in this slick thriller. Our sources reveal that the team has had productive meetings with both the actors and they too seem keen on the idea to be working together once again. The final announcement is expected very soon, once the paper work is completed. This is going to be a massive casting coup, without a shadow of doubt! Kudos to the entire hard working team at Emmay and Milap!


Replace the standard x-axis in 'ggplots' with a combination matrix to visualize complex set overlaps. 'UpSet' has introduced a new way to visualize the overlap of sets as an alternative to Venn diagrams. This package provides a simple way to produce such plots using 'ggplot2'. In addition it can convert any categorical axis into a combination matrix axis.
Plot a combination matrix instead of the standard x-axis and create UpSet plots with ggplot2.
ggupset makes it easy to get an immediate impression how many movies are in each genre and their combination. For example there are slightly more than 1200 Dramas in the set, more than 1000 which don't belong to any genre and ~170 that are Comedy and Drama.
#> Warning: Removed 100 rows containing non-finite values (stat_count).
scale_x_upset is a neat function that does several things at once to create a useful x-axis. I will now step by step recreate the plot to demonstrate some of the underlying ideas.
#>  3 Mind Benders, The                       <chr > ""
#>  4 Trop (peu) d'amour                      <chr > ""
#>  7 Visiblement je vous aime                <chr > ""
Because the process of collapsing list columns into delimited strings is fairly generic, I provide a new scale that does this automatically (scale_x_mergelist()).
But the problem is that it can be difficult to read those labels. Instead I provide a third function that replaces the axis labels with a combination matrix (axis_combmatrix()).
One thing that is only possible with the scale_x_upset() function is to automatically order the categories and genres by freq or by degree.
#> Warning: Removed 1076 rows containing non-finite values (stat_count).
To make publication ready plots, you often want to have complete control how each part of a plot looks. This is why I provide an easy way to style the combination matrix. Simply add a theme_combmatrix() to the plot.
There is already a package called UpSetR (GitHub, CRAN) that provides very similar functionality and that heavily inspired me to write this package. It produces a similar plot with an additional view that shows the overall size of each genre.
#> Warning: Removed 1311 rows containing non-finite values (stat_count).
The UpSetR package provides a lot convenient helpers around this kind of plot; the main advantage of my package is that it can be combined with any kind of ggplot that uses a categorical x-axis. This additional flexibility can be useful if you want to create non-standard plots. The following plot for example shows when movies of a certain genre were published.
#> Warning: Removed 513 rows containing non-finite values (stat_ydensity).
The combination matrix axis can be used to show complex experimental designs, where each sample got a combination of different treatments.
#>  2 TRUE  Yes           8    105.
#>  4 TRUE  Yes           8    140.
#>  5 TRUE  Yes           8    108.
#>  7 TRUE  Yes           8    112.
#>  8 TRUE  Yes           8    118.
#>  9 TRUE  Yes           8    114.
dplyr currently does not support list columns as grouping variables. In that case it makes sense to collapse it manually and use the axis_combmatrix() function to get a good looking plot.

We all remember the days of worksheets. Ah, to be a fourth-grader again. Oklahoma State quarterback J.W. Walsh was just like many of us in elementary school in a sense – he wanted to be a football player when he grew up. As it turns out, Walsh has made good on that promise, and it makes his answers to this worksheet all the more comical.
The assignment was for Walsh to explore how he felt about his decisions. Naturally, Walsh related all 14 of his answers back to football. Hilarity ensued.
Some classic answers right here; specifically question number nine. There's a reason Coach Gundy recruited this guy, after all.


A second troubled government-run hospital on a Native American reservation in South Dakota was given an extension Friday to reach an agreement with federal officials to make significant quality-of-care improvements to avoid losing its Medicare and Medicaid funds.
The CMS notified the administration of the hospital on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation about the extension a little more than a month after the hospital on the Rosebud Indian Reservation received the same extension. The latest notification comes days after the top officials at the Indian Health Service, which administers the hospitals, met with tribal leaders and pledged to improve the services provided at the facilities.
Both hospitals have an April 29 deadline to reach an agreement to enter what constitutes a last-chance remediation program. If not, the facilities won't be allowed to bill the government for services provided to Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible patients after May 16.
The purpose of the agreement for the Pine Ridge hospital would be "to effectively safeguard patient health and safety ... and effectively address underlying systemic problems" that have kept the hospital from achieving or sustaining compliance with regulations, according to the letter from CMS addressed to IHS' top leader, Mary Smith, and Sophia Conroy, the hospital's acting administrator.
The funding cutoff warning for the 45-bed Pine Ridge hospital comes after federal inspectors found serious deficiencies during a series of unannounced visits, including one in late October in which they discovered that three of six sampled medical staffers lacked appropriate permission to practice at that hospital; unlocked cupboards with syringes, needles and other equipment; and unsecured drugs and medical records.
The CMS letter noted that a Feb. 25 inspection found deficiencies in the hospital's emergency department even though the hospital had claimed on Feb. 12 that it was complying with all applicable regulations. The inspectors reviewed the records of 26 patients and concluded that six of them had not received appropriate medical screening examinations.
Among the cases reviewed by inspectors was that of a woman who was discharged from the emergency room despite having a high blood pressure of 193/90 and a recent history of a stroke.
The record of a different patient, a 46-year-old woman, showed that she sought treatment at the emergency room after fainting and hitting her head, but left the hospital after a provider did not evaluate her for three hours. When she later returned to the emergency room, more than two hours went by before the first intravenous access was placed despite lab results showing that she had "critically low blood levels of hemoglobin."
IHS, which provides free health care to enrolled members of Native American tribes, said it will work with CMS "as expeditiously as possible" to reach the agreement, it said in a statement Friday.
IHS has been severely underfunded and its facilities bill Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance for care given to patients who have that coverage. Statistics from a 2005 government study show that reimbursements constituted between 7% and 58% of some hospitals' direct medical care budgets, with the average being 39%.
At a public forum earlier this week in Sioux Falls, S.D., Smith told the tribal leaders and senior-level IHS officials in attendance that the agency intends to meet the April 29 deadline given to the hospital in Rosebud, which is about 95 miles east of Pine Ridge. In addition, the agency is accepting bids for a contract to manage the emergency rooms at hospitals on the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska, Pine Ridge, and Rosebud.

Diplomas – What to do with them?
You are here: Home / Development / Diplomas – What to do with them?
Hang them in your closet or bathroom where no one will see them.
Give them back to your school.
Put them in a binder on a bookshelf.
Evidently some people feel awkward about putting them on the wall in their home, office or cubicle. Granted, everyone's college experience is different, but I think people are missing out on some of the motivational value of keeping your diploma visible.
While I don't believe that college is for everyone, there are many people who could benefit from higher education that simply don't think about it because it isn't something their parents did. Keeping your diplomas visible in your house helps give your kids the expectation that college is something they are capable of, if they choose. It helps establish an expectation that it is normal to go to college and well within their capabilities.
Obviously this can turn into something where children are being forced into a college and career that they aren't interested in, but it is just as bad if not worse for them not to even think about going to college simply because it wasn't something that was kept in their mind as a possibility.
When my dad was the principal of a K-12 school, he displayed all of his diplomas–from the first day of kindergarten through his Master's degree. Any kid that was in his office saw a certificate that was within a few years of wherever they were in school neatly framed.
I was looking through some old diplomas with my grandmother. In the tube of papers from her dad (my great-grandfather) was a degree in theology and a license to practice law. I asked where his law diploma was–knowing that he had attended law school. It turns out he never finished. After the first year of law school someone dared him to take the bar exam and he passed, so he started practicing and didn't ever get the degree.
Your diploma represents a significant investment of your time and (for most people) overcoming a lot of hardship in pursuit of a goal. The piece of paper and stories behind it can be a powerful motivator for your kids even outside their educational career. Keeping these pieces of paper and the memories and experiences they represent visible is important.
On my wall I have two diplomas and space for one that has yet to be hung. My undergraduate degree is from ORU in music composition, my first master's degree is from Pittstate–also in music composition. My most recent master's degree is from Harvard–an ALM in IT degree in software engineering. The Harvard diploma is framed, but still needs to be hung on the wall.
For me, all three of these diplomas represent a tremendous amount of hard work. When I feel like I'm too busy, I look at my master's degree in music and remember that I completed the two year program in a single year while working a full time job. Usually that puts my current workload in perspective. When I'm facing a very difficult mental problem, my Harvard diploma reminds me of an extremely difficult theoretical computation class that I took and passed.
Maybe it sounds silly, but diplomas constantly remind me that if I can successfully do that, then clearly I can overcome any of my current obstacles. They remind me that my success is going to be a matter of my determination more than any other factor.
How people see you is greatly influenced by how they expect to see you. What you hang on your office wall can make a very big difference.
For example, I was once in the office of someone who was in charge of the IT department for a small junior college. On his wall, he proudly displayed a certificate of completion of a program on being tactful. How did that influence my perception of him? Well immediately I assumed he wasn't tactful–otherwise why would anyone have paid for him to attend such a class? That single piece of paper made a very big difference in how I perceived him and made me notice his actions that reinforced that perception.
It isn't that he couldn't overcome this initial perception based on his actions, but he had to start from a very different initial position than if he had not shown the piece of paper at all.
The same thing can happen in a positive light. If people see a diploma or two hanging on the wall, they are going to start with the perception that you are smart and intelligent. Once you start talking, you can obviously change their perception, but it gives you a strong starting position.
If your diploma says something good about you, then you should by all means put it up in your office. You don't have to flaunt it in people's faces. It is fine if they only notice it subconsciously, but take advantage of being able to use your good performance to reinforce a positive view of your skills rather than starting from scratch.
Where you put your diploma is a personal decision. Sometimes it may not make sense to put it up at work. Sometimes a cubicle may not be the best place for it. Sometimes wall space in your house is at a premium. However, don't overlook the benefits of keeping your degree visible. If you worked hard for that piece of paper, keep in somewhere that it will remind you of your determination and ability to accomplish your goals.
In my experience, it is usually —harder— to lose a strong position than to recover from a poor one. In other words, if people start out thinking lower of you, it will take a lot more effort to improve their perception than it will to lower an initially positive view.
Displaying my undergrad in business reminds me of 8 years of hard work and determination (I went to school part-time while holding a full-time job). It also validates my knowledge in the field because I do look very young for my age and some people mistake me for a secretary. However, I've read that many people find it pretentious to hang diplomas around the office, especially in a cube. I simply cannot understand why anyone would be ashamed of displaying their accomplishments especially if they spent enormous time and resources. I'm about to complete my MBA after 4 years of spending most of my nights and weekends studying. Believe me, if I could party, relax and travel on my days off, I would. Basing from the many negative opinions through Google search, I'm now debating whether it's appropriate to display my diplomas at work. It just doesn't seem right to hang it at home when I'm barely at home (spent most of my time at work so it should be there to remind me of all my sacrifices). Any thoughts?
By the way, there is no way I would add the intials MBA next to name / title. Now, this is pretentious and an MBA is not a professional disegnation or a license to practice. There are several people at work that puts M.A., M.B.A. after their name. It screams, "Look at me; I'm important and no, this is not tacky at all".
As far as displaying your diploma, I think I would do it if you have a suitable place to hang it.
Hahahahaha…you are hilarious! Do you dare?
When asked this question, the lines from the Paul Simon song "Slip Sliding Away" comes to mind.
My degree is hidden away in boxes in the attic full of stuff that has yet to be burned. Anyone want to buy a physics degree from Clemson University? I am asking five cents.
I have four degrees and literally around 25 or so certificates (a fair mix of college and military schools.) Never framed or displayed any of it since I can't imagine anyone caring about that sort of thing. I keep everything in a binder though-just for posterity (was useful in the military when applying for schools, promotions, etc.) But no interest in framing/displaying.

Health, maturity — and yoga — lift MSU closer to big season
Senior Bryan Young has only given up one earned run in 20 appearances this season.
Health, maturity — and yoga — lift MSU closer to big season Senior Bryan Young has only given up one earned run in 20 appearances this season. Check out this story on news-leader.com: http://sgfnow.co/2qu47ZU

When Missouri State Head Coach Keith Guttin got to the team's practice facility Monday morning, one player was already there.
Senior Bryan Young — despite pitching in Bears wins on Saturday and Sunday — had worked up a sweat in the weight room by the time Guttin got to the office at 9 a.m.
"That's the way he leads," Guttin said. "He's a leader. He's a captain. But it's more by example."
As Missouri State (36-14, 17-0) begins its final regular-season series Thursday at Illinois State, Young has already secured his place in the MSU record books.
The program's all-time saves leader is having arguably his best season in 2017. Young has given up only one earned run in 20 appearances, while racking up 7 saves.
Guttin said Young's success is a product of his hard work — and that includes both conventional baseball training, and something a little more holistic.
In addition to lunges and bicep curls, Young is a proponent of downward dogs and padahastasanas.
"I do yoga," Young said. "It helps me be more flexible."
Young came to Missouri State in 2013 after a standout prep career at Staley High School in Kansas City, but he struggled with injuries early in his college career.
This season, he has been healthy and dominant, not allowing an earned run in his last 13 appearances.
Young, who regularly attends classes at Sumits Hot Yoga in Springfield, said the exercise series has helped him avoid injury this season. And it might help him stay calm when he's on the mound in high-stakes situations.
Beyond anything he's done on his yoga mat, however, Young said his biggest advantage this spring is experience. Serving as MSU's closer in 2015 and 2016 helped prepare him for this season.
"This is my fifth year here," Young said. "I have kind of seen a lot."
Young, a 6-foot-1 right-hander, has developed a reputation for his deceptive slider and his unflappable demeanor on the mound.
Doug Still, a junior starting pitcher for the Bears, said he can relax when Young comes into a game in the ninth inning.
"We call it 'B-Y Time,'" Still said. "We know that nothing is going to happen whenever he's pitching. It's real nice having him closing things down for us."
The Bears want to make a deep postseason run this summer, and coach Guttin said having a dominant closer is key.
"To have a dependable closer like that is something that's a necessity if you're going to have a good season," Guttin said. "He has been just so consistent. He had a very good knowledge and feel for pitching."
Missouri State clinched the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title on Saturday by beating Indiana State.
With a sweep of last-place Illinois State (12-37, 1-17) this weekend, the Bears can become the first Valley baseball team in the modern era to go unbeaten all year in league games.
Guttin insists the Bears aren't talking about the possibility of a perfect Valley season, opting instead to focus on the day-to-day work.
"As far as the record, that is just a result of good preparation and guys not taking days off, coming to the park ready every day," Guttin said. "We don't talk about the record, or any record honestly, we just talk about the process."
Thursday's game against Illinois State is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in Normal, Illinois. It will be broadcast on KBFL 1060 AM and 96.9 FM. It will also be streamed live on The Valley on ESPN3.
