Yves Jacques est un acteur québécois, né le  à Québec (Canada).

Biographie
Yves Jacques mène parallèlement une carrière au Québec et en France, tant au cinéma qu'au théâtre. Il a tourné dans cinq films du réalisateur québécois Denys Arcand, dont Le Déclin de l'empire américain, Jésus de Montréal et Les Invasions barbares, ainsi que dans sept films du cinéaste français Claude Miller. Parmi les autres cinéastes avec lesquels Yves Jacques a travaillé, on peut citer Xavier Dolan, Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Olivier Dahan et Martin Scorsese.

Il a joué en tournée mondiale, à partir de 2001, deux spectacles de Robert Lepage, La Face cachée de la Lune et Le Projet Andersen, dont il interprète seul les personnages. En 2014, il élargit sa palette au théâtre avec le rôle de Dubois dans Les Fausses Confidences de Marivaux, mise en scène Luc Bondy, en compagnie d'Isabelle Huppert qui joue Araminte - au Théâtre de l'Odéon et en tournée internationale. Simultanément, il interprète également, le même personnage dans une version cinématographique. Il considère que son personnage d'enseignant homosexuel dans Le Déclin de l'empire américain lui a permis d'assumer lui-même son homosexualité. Il a été nommé Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres par le Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication de France en février 2001, et Officier de l'Ordre du Canada depuis 2009, pour ses interprétations au théâtre, à la télévision et au cinéma, au Canada comme à l'étranger.

En 2022, on a pu le voir dans la comédie dramatique Les 12 travaux d'Imelda de Martin Villeneuve, aux côtés de Robert Lepage, Ginette Reno et Michel Barrette.

Summer Research Fellowship Programme of India's Science Academies
Raindrop size distribution during active and break spells of Indian Summer Monsoon

Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall exhibits sub-seasonal variability, with active spells with good rainfall and weak spells or breaks with little to no rainfall. In this work, we investigate the raindrop size distribution (DSD) during the wet (active) and dry (break) spells of the ISM. Investigation of DSD is worthy due to its application in retrieval of rain patterns from weather radar, micro-wave communications, soil erosion and cloud physics etc.
To understand DSD, a Joss–Waldvogel Disdrometer (JWD) has been deployed at the High Altitude Cloud Physics Laboratory (HACPL), Mahabaleshwar (17.92ºN, 73.6ºE, ~1.4 km AMSL) in 2012. The measurement site is in the Western Ghats, located parallel to the west coast of India which receives capacious rainfall (~6000 mm) during the monsoon season (June-September).
In this work, we will investigate DSD during the wet and dry spells of the ISM during the period 2012-2015. The wet and dry spells are identified by using the gridded rainfall data set (1962-2012) over the Mahabaleshwar region. For the study period, the dry periods (159 days) are more compared to the wet periods (41 days). The other rain microphysical parameters like median volume diameter, rain liquid water content and normalized intercept parameter are estimated from the gamma-fit of DSD using the moment method (second, fourth, and sixth moment). An attempt is made to examine the variability in rain parameters during the wet spells and how different it is for the dry spells.

If you play bridge long enough you will eventually be dealt any grand-slam hand, not once but several times. A similar thing is true for mechanical systems governed by Newton's laws, as the French mathematician Henri Poincare (1854-1912) showed with his recurrence theorem in 1890: if the system has a fixed total energy that restricts its dynamics to bounded subsets of its phase space, the system will eventually return as closely as you like to any given initial set of molecular positions and velocities. If the entropy is determined by these variables, then it must also return to its original value, so if it increases during one period of time it must decrease during another.
This apparent contradiction between the behavior of a deterministic mechanical system of particles and the Second Law of Thermodynamics became known as the "Recurrence Paradox." It was used by the German mathematician Ernst Zermelo in 1896 to attack the mechanistic worldview. He argued that the Second Law is an absolute truth, so any theory that leads to predictions inconsistent with it must be false. This refutation would apply not only to the kinetic theory of gases but to any theory based on the assumption that matter is composed of particles moving in accordance with the laws of mechanics.
Boltzmann had previously denied the possibility of such recurrences and might have continued to deny their certainty by rejecting the determinism postulated in the Poincare-Zermelo argument. Instead, he admitted quite frankly that recurrences are completely consistent with the statistical viewpoint, as the card-game analogy suggests; they are fluctuations, which are almost certain to occur if you wait long enough. So determinism leads to the same qualitative consequence that would be expected from a random sequence of states! In either case the recurrence time is so inconceivably long that our failure to observe it cannot constitute an objection to the theory.


If you are looking to add a valuable tool to your roofing tools collection, don't forget a shingle cutter or roofing knife. A quick and convenient cutter should be a part of any roofer's supplies, whether it is a handy utility knife or an AJC Super Shear shingle cutter for a larger scale roofing project. With the power of the Super Shear shingle cutter, you can cut through a variety of durable shingles or roofing materials. The blade on the Super Shear can cut through thicker shingles, such as laminate and also thinner metals like aluminum. For adequate cutting, the spring-loaded tension adjustment allows for adjustable pressure to assist in cutting through the shingles or material. For a thicker material, more pressure is applied, and for a thinner one, less pressure is needed. Cut through multiple shingle mediums in half the time on your next commercial roofing job.
For assistance that is on the roof with you, a smaller, hand-held tool might prove more efficient. To avoid climbing down and getting off the roof multiple times for smaller cuts, choose a quality roofing knife for your roofing tools collection. Specifically, the AJC Guardian Angle is the tool that will make shingle cutting a breeze. For a hand-held, precise cut right at the scene, the Guardian Angle has the ability to cut even the toughest of shingle materials. With knuckle protection, this roofing knife offers a quality grip and also reduces fatigue while you are on the job. The Guardian Angle increases leverage giving you complete control when you cut and reduces slippage or material breakage. Keep your blade secure and exactly where you need it to be.

Damn you White Stripes. On some level I realize how exhausting putting on fabulous Christmas parties day after day can be.My calendar tells me I'm on day 8 of 13 days in a row without a break. I know I have at least 12 hours tomorrow and won't be home until 3 AM. For hours now I've attempted a ponder and all that's happened is this White Stripes song looping in my brain. I give up – you win White Stripes, and I know what I'm going to do – pondering can wait, I'm off to bed.


How to set up a Rosemount 3051S HART for flow measurement?.
One of the most common uses of differential pressure (DP) transmitters is to measure flow. However, you have to set it up properly to get the right readings.
Here we'll tackle the Rosemount 3051S with the HART protocol. In this article, we'll assume you've already installed it. We can talk about installation in another article. Let's configure!
After installing your Rosemount 3051S in your process, you need to configure your device to send the right variable. I could explain all the equations and principles, but that would take a while. And you probably have a good grasp on fluid mechanics by now, if you're installing flow meters.
The important thing to know is that to measure flow with a DP transmitter, you need the square root value, not the linear one. And that's exactly what I'll show you how to do on both the HART communicator and the AMS Trex. So here we go!
Oh wait, I almost forgot to warn you that before doing any changes, you need to set the application loop to manual. The field communicator and AMS Trex usually warn you to do so, but the warning itself doesn't change the loop to manual. Okay, now that you set the loop to manual, let's move on.
To set up the Transfer Function to square root, choose "Configure," then "Manual Setup." Inside the "Manual Setup" menu, the first item should be "Basic Setup," so click on it.
Now select "Transfer Function." There you'll have the "Square Root" option. Select it and you're done! Or you can keep going and set the low cutoff to avoid unwanted readings from low flow or noise on the pipeline. But this covers the basics.
Now that you know all the steps, I'll give you another tip – the fast keys 2-2-1-4 will get you to the same place.
Besides the HART Field Communicator, you can use another handheld called the AMS Trex. This intuitive handheld has a simpler user interface.
To set the Transfer Function to square root like we did on the Field Communicator, just access the device through the Field Communicator option and select "Configure" from the menu. Then go to the "Basic Setup" tab, and you should see a drop down list. Choose "Xfer fnctn," then select the square root output. Click "Apply" and a warning should come up. Read it, then select Yes. Tada, all done!
Think you can use one of these methods to get your flow measured? Hope so, but if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment below and I'll help you out!

Russia claims innocence over cyberwarfare hacking and wants closer US relationship
Sergei Lavrov said no facts have been presented to support the claims
By Tareq Haddad
February 18, 2017 17:01 GMT
Russia's foreign minister has maintained that allegations that the country engaged in cyberwarfare to undermine Western elections are baseless.
Sergey Lavrov made the comments at the annual Munich Security Conference on Saturday (18 February) where Russia was the subject of severe criticism about the subject from a number of international leaders.
US Vice-President Mike Pence pledges US support for Nato
Merkel calls on Trump to show support for international organisations
Tony Blair: Volley of Brexit abuse will not silence my pro-EU movement
In the run-up to the US elections, Russia was suspected of hacking the Democratic National Committee's email servers and providing its contents to Wikileaks, in releases known as the Podesta emails.
"For some reason, when we are accused of anything, no facts are presented," Lavrov said, speaking through an interpreter. "I am saying once again: give us the facts."
"Not a single fact addressed to Russia while there are facts, pointing to the other direction to the source of that illegal activity."
The "illegal activity" Lavrov was referencing was in relation to revelations that came from Wikileaks on Thursday (16 February) which showed the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) issued spying orders against all political parties involved France's 2012 presidential elections.
He added that Western leaders were stuck in a Cold War mentality about relations with Russia and blamed Nato's expansion on its eastern border for much of the tension.
Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov says there is no evidence to support hacking claims. Getty
Lavrov said the West's "obsession" with cyberespionage was similar to its outlook on the Ukraine crisis, in which Russia was held solely responsible for escalations in tensions.
In spite of the sharp comments, Lavrov said Russia was committed to fostering a "pragmatic" relationship with the US.
"What kind of relations do we want with the US? Pragmatic relations, mutual respect, understanding our special responsibility for global stability," Lavrov said. "We have immense potential that has yet to be tapped into, and we're open for that inasmuch as the US is open for that as well."
He also called for a world order which balanced international law and national interests.
"Responsible leaders should make a choice. I hope that the choice will be done in favour a creating a democratic and just world order," Lavrov said.
"If you want, you can call it a post-West world order when each country, based on its sovereignty within the rules of international law, will strive to find a balance between its own national interests and the national interests of partners."


South Africa is going to endeavour to provide the nation with better broadband connectivity and free Wi-Fi in designated areas.
This was revealed by President Jacob Zuma as he unveiled the African National Congress's 2014 election manifesto in Nelspruit, South Africa over the weekend.
The president highlighted that the government would invest heavily in broadband.
"We will invest in a comprehensive plan to expand broadband access throughout the country and substantially reduce the cost of communication," he said.
The party would further expand the current national broadband network, and once again highlighted his government's plan to have most of the nation fully connected to the internet by 2020.
"We aim to connect all schools, public health and other government facilities through broadband by 2020, and at least 90% of our communities should have substantial and superfast broadband capacity by 2020″.
Concerning the free national Wi-Fi, Zuma said that emerging entrepreneurs would be roped in to make it reality. Government will support and develop free-WiFi areas in cities, towns and rural areas. The local electronics sector and emerging entrepreneurs will be stimulated as part of our efforts to support the manufacturing industry.
The ruling party has also promised to focus on clean energy sources. "Both traditional and green energy will be expanded to ensure a platform for growth and social inclusion, including the use of nuclear power for energy generation in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner.
"Solar and wind power will feed into the electricity grid to increase our generation capacity and promote environmental sustainability. Further hydro-electric energy will be secured domestically and regionally for the national grid." he added.

Luxurious Audi A8: pricing and specs confirmed
With its sharpened design and innovative new technologies, Audi is ensuring the increased presence and sporty elegance of the A8 continues into 2022 with a subtle facelift to their luxury saloon.
A symbol of and a trailblazer for the status and prestige of the brand, the fourth generation of the luxury saloon, which Audi introduced in 2017, raised it to a new level concerning power, looks, and equipment.
Priced from £74,985, the Audi A8 is due for delivery in March 2022.
Audi A8 exterior
The base of the Singleframe grille is now wider, and chrome angles that increase in size from bottom to top adorn its grid. The side air intakes are also more upright and just as freshly styled as the headlights to create a distinctive contour.
Stretched lines in the body of the car emphasize its length, while the rear is dominated by wide chrome clasps, a customizable taillight signature with Digital OLEDs, and a continuous, segmented light strip.
All of these touches significantly increase the A8's presence and authority and sharpen the profile of the brand's top model.
Audi A8 interior
As you would expect from a luxury saloon, the interior of the A8 is comparable with a spacious, widely tailored lounge and some of the best perks are reserved for the rear passengers. These include 10.1in displays on the rear of the front headrests which can display content from smartphones and are controlled by a touchscreen remote in the centre armrest.
The relaxation seat in the A8 L takes that level of relaxation even further by offering numerous adjustment options and a footrest on the back of the passenger seat which also features a foot warmer and massage function. If that's not bouji enough the rear passenger seat includes a back massage function with 18 pneumatic cushions and electrically adjustable comfort headrests.
For the driver, the MMI touch response in the A8 relies on two displays (10.1-inch and 8.6-inch) and natural voice operation instructed by saying "Hey Audi!"
The completely digital Audi virtual cockpit, with the standard head-up display, completes the display and operating concept and emphasizes the orientation to the driver.
Audi A8 engine range
The enhanced Audi A8 is available with four engine options. The 3.0 TDI and the 3.0 TFSI are V6 units, while the 4.0 TFSI in the S8 is a V8 with cylinder on-demand technology. The TFSI e plug-in hybrid model combines the 3.0 TFSI with an electric motor.
How much is the Audi A8 and when is it available?
Ordering in the UK for the refreshed flagship is available now, with the first customer deliveries due in the second quarter of 2022. The starting price for the A8 is £74,985 rising to £117,610 for the S8 Saloon Vorsprung TFSI quattro.

The vendor market for Voice of the Customer (VoC) products and services has been heating up, with numerous acquisitions and mergers. All of this is happening as companies are trying to figure out how to run successful VoC programs. It appears that we on the verge of the next stage in evolution for VoC. So I decided to step back and look at the overall market.
Our research shows that nearly three-quarters of large companies rate their voice of the customer (VoC) programs as being successful (only 8% say that they've been unsuccessful). That's great—infusing almost any type of customer insights into a business can add value.
However, companies aren't close to reaching their full potential. Only 14% of companies have reached the the two highest levels of Temkin Group's VoC Maturity Model.
One of the reasons for this immaturity is a simple fact: creating and managing great VoC programs isn't easy. They take significant leadership commitment and a variety of expertise. In many cases, however, companies don't redesign their approach to customer insights, they simply end up updating and automating many of their historical practices.
The big change for VoC programs is that they must focus more on enabling action across their organization. We found that only 24% of large firms think they are good at making changes to the business based on the insights. For VoC programs to fully mature, they need to become hyper-focused on generating insights in the right form at the right time to help people across their organizations make better, more informed decisions.
As if that's not enough to work on, companies will need to address Six Customer Insight Trends that will reshape VoC programs: 1) Deep Empathy, Not Stacks of Metrics; 2) Continuous Insights, Not Periodic Studies; 3) Customer Journeys, Not Isolated Interactions; 4) Useful Prescriptions, Not Past Descriptions; 5) Enterprise Intelligence, Not Customer Feedback; and 6) Mobile First, Not Mobile Responsive.
To some degree, surveying functionality is becoming a commodity. Organizations are recognizing that feedback is not valuable on its own; it only becomes valuable when it's used as an input to insights which drive some type of action. So the focus is no longer on feedback, but on insight and action. Hence, Customer Insight and Action (CIA) Platforms.
Advanced analytics. We'll see a considerable increase in the use of predictive analytics and the use of speech analytics to unlock insights from invaluable contact center conversations.
…and way smarter analytics. The current set of analytics are mostly designed for analysts to uncover insights, but we'll see more "packaged" analytics that mask complexity to provide tailored recommendations that improve high-impact decisions across the enterprise.
More focus on casual users.The days of generic metrics and dashboards will hopefully be a thing of the past. The information provided to people will be specific to their roles, and will proactively highlight the information that they need to know. It may take the form of highly customized dashboards, but it could also be a monthly infographic that can be posted in the lunchroom for hourly workers.
Less surveys, but more data. We already see in our research that organizations are becoming less reliant on surveys. This feedback will become less about understanding what's being said by individual customers, and more about using the insights in predictive models to extrapolate what it might mean across entire segments of customers. This will require companies to integrate feedback with lots of customer data from other systems.
More selective, targeted feedback. Companies will get better at strategic sampling. What is this? Being smarter about who they get feedback from and when they get that feedback. The current approach of trying to hear from as many customers a possible in as many places as possible is conceptually attractive, but it's an inefficient use of internal resources, and it puts a strain on an even more important commodity—customers' time and attention.
The bottom line: VoC programs and vendors need a makeover.
We just published a Temkin Group report, Lessons in CX Excellence, 2018. The report provides insights from six winners in the Temkin Group's 2017 CX Excellence Awards.

We published a Temkin Group report, Net Promoter Score Benchmark Study, 2017. This is the sixth year of this study that includes Net Promoter® Scores (NPS®) on 299 companies across 20 industries based on a study of 10,000 U.S. consumers.
With an NPS of 66, USAA's insurance business earned the highest score in the study for the fifth year in a row.
Comcast received the lowest NPS for the third year in a row with a score of -9.
The industry average for NPS ranged from a high of 43 for auto dealers down to a low of 9 for TV & Internet service providers.
Citibank, whose NPS lagged 35 points behind the banking average, fell the farthest behind its peers.
All industries saw their average NPS decline over the past year, though Utilities dropped the most.
18- to 24-year-old consumers give companies the lowest NPS (with an average score of 17 across industries), while consumers 65 and older give the highest NPS (with an average score of 38 across industries).
NPS is highly correlated with customer experience. On average, customer experience leaders enjoy an NPS over 18 points higher than customer experience laggards.
See the NPS Benchmark Studies from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Across the 58 tech vendors we examined, NPS ranged from +43 to -22.
Microsoft, SAS, Google, and VMware earned the highest NPS, while Accenture consulting, ACS, Autodesk, and Fujitsu received the lowest.
Overall, the average NPS for the tech vendor industry decreased by more than eight points from last year, down from 29.9 to 21.4 – the lowest level of any year we've studied.
Our analysis shows that NPS is correlated to customers' willingness to spend more with tech vendors, try their new products and services, forgive them after a bad experience, and act as a reference for them with prospective clients.
When it comes to loyalty, IT decision-makers are most likely to purchase more from Microsoft and HP, try new offerings from Microsoft and Google, forgive SAS and Microsoft if they make a mistake, and act as a reference for Apple and IBM SPSS.
The report includes graphics with data for NPS, likelihood to repurchase, Temkin Forgiveness Ratings, and Temkin Innovation Equity Quotient (likely to try new offerings).. The excel spreadsheet includes this data (in more detail) for the 58 companies as well as summary data for other tech vendors with less than 40 pieces of feedback.

Verdun: 'We'll win the league'
November 5, 2018 Craig MacKenzie Sport No comments
Title tilt: Peninsula Strikers' head coach Danny Verdun held a meet-and-greet session at Centenary Park last week with current and prospective players.
DANNY Verdun has thrown down the gauntlet to opposition clubs in State 2 South-East declaring that Peninsula Strikers will win the championship next season.
Recently appointed as head coach of the Centenary Park club Verdun addressed an audience of mainly current and prospective players last Thursday evening at Strikers' home ground.
Over 70 people attended and listened intently as Verdun told them what he expected from his players.
"It doesn't matter how old you are or your output as a footballer this is all about the attitude you bring to this club," Verdun said.
"If the attitude and hunger is not there, if the desire is not there along with the discipline to do the job that this club deserves – these are the most important things I want to get through to you tonight and this is what the club expects from you."
Verdun touched on his own migrant experience after coming to Australia from his native Uruguay to emphasise the importance of persistence in the face of adversity and the link between hard work and success.
He then outlined his aims for next season.
"This club is going to win this league next year," he said.
"I've had people come up to me at the end of a season and pat me on the back for finishing third and I'm telling you I can't stand that.
"We're here to win."
There is no doubt that Verdun and assistant Neil Standish who also spoke at the meeting will bring a core group of players with them from previous club Knox City and if they can retain the bulk of Strikers' 2018 squad then Verdun's target is realistic.
Strikers' Players' Player of the Year Alex Van Heerwarden and forward John Prescott have been linked with Langwarrin.
Prescott was at Thursday's meeting while Van Heerwarden was on holiday.
Strikers recently made major changes off the field with Trevor Johnston stepping down as president and being replaced by Marty Sutherland, a 40-year-old who hails from Inverness in Scotland.
Sutherland played with famous Highland League club Forres Mechanics and has been with Strikers for seven years.
Johnston led the club for two years wiping out its debt and eventually forging a good relationship with Strikers' junior wing and Sutherland plans to build on Johnston's achievements.
"I wanted to carry on the good work that Trevor has done and to continue his legacy," Sutherland said.
"That's really important especially with the juniors coming in."
Evidence of the now positive relationship between Strikers' senior and junior clubs is the presence of seven members from the juniors on Sutherland's 15-strong committee including junior president Adrian Scalpi.
"It's really important to continue to work with the juniors and we want our reserve team to be an under-23 side," Sutherland added.
He also wants to end the coaching instability that has plagued the club in recent times.
Verdun is Strikers' eighth senior coach in just over 12 months following in the footsteps of Craig Lewis, Billy Buchanan, Willie Raines, Andy O'Dell, Jamie Paterson, Lenny Greenan and Jamie Skelly.
The club also has had to cope with a large player turnover.
"I think we used 47 players last season and we don't want to go through that again," Sutherland said.
Verdun's first session as head coach will be on Tuesday 11 December at Centenary Park.
There will be a break over Christmas and New Year before pre-season resumes on Tuesday 8 January four days before the first of a series of pre-season games all at home.
In NPL2 Langwarrin continues to build an imposing senior squad for 2019 with news that Springvale White Eagles' top scorer for the past three seasons, Damir Stoilovic, has agreed to join the Lawton Park outfit.
The 21-year-old has scored 35 goals in three seasons and in 2016 was named NPL2 Young Player of the Year.
"Damir has been of interest for some time and I watched him on numerous occasions towards the end of the season," Langwarrin head coach Scott Miller said.
"He'll provide the squad with further quality and depth and more importantly a real balance in our attacking midfield options."
Stoilovic and other recent signings David Stirton, Luis Covarrubias and Jordan Templin are evidence of a new-look senior squad with much improved strikepower as Langwarrin targets a top six finish in NPL2 which would maintain its second-tier status when the elite competition is restructured for the 2020 season.
And you can expect more new signings to arrive at Lawton Park.
Meanwhile Langwarrin under-16s head coach Doug Hodgson has recently returned from a business trip to the UK and has arranged a series of tour matches for his squad in England next year.
Hodgson is a former Sheffield United defender and was the first Australian to move into management at a professional club in England during his stint as The Blades reserves manager.
He has arranged games against Wolves, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United and is hoping to add a match against Watford to the itinerary.
In NPLW news Southern United announced last week that physiotherapist Anna Trnka would again work with the players after assisting them with running retraining and sports injury management throughout the 2018 season.
Trnka has been part of the Back in Motion Patterson Lakes team since February 2017 after moving to Melbourne from country Victoria.
She competed as an elite cross-country skier for nine years before retiring in 2015 having represented Australia at the World Championships in Val di Fiemme, Italy (2013) and in Falun, Sweden (2015).
Trnka's focus is on active rehabilitation and exercise therapy to help players eliminate pain, prevent injury and enhance performance and her special physiotherapy interests include running assessments, injury prevention screening and Pilates.
In State 3 South-East news Frankston Pines announced the re-signing of Lewis Potter and Luke Murray last week.
Potter, 29, has been with Leicester City's academy squad and has played with Langwarrin and Strikers.
He can play at the back or in midfield.
"I'm delighted we have retained Lewis for 2019," senior coach Kevin "Squizzy" Taylor said.
"He will be important for us both as a player and as a role model for the younger players we have brought in.
"He's an experienced footballer with good technique who likes to keep the ball on the deck."
Murray, 23, is a former Peninsula Strikers and Seaford United player who has played at the back, in midfield and up front at Monterey Reserve.
He had spells with South Melbourne and Dandenong Thunder as a junior player.
"Luke is a dynamic, technically skilled player who can play in a number of positions and he'll prove his worth during the season," Taylor said.
Murray is convinced that Pines can bounce straight back after the disappointment of being relegated from State 2 South-East last season.
"There's no way I could leave after we went down and I want to win the league with Pines next year," Murray said.
"I think having 'Squizzy' in charge and with the new players he's bringing in it might be just what the club needed."
Pines also confirmed last week that former president Gary Hodgson and wife Pip, who had served as club treasurer, had been granted life membership.
"Both Gary and Pip have worked tirelessly over many years to ensure the club not only survived but were instrumental in gaining approval for the new $3.8 million new clubrooms that will be built at Monterey Reserve," president Steve Spencer said.
"This is a very small way that the club can repay Gary and Pip for everything they have done and achieved over the years."
However one of the downsides of the Hodgsons stepping down from the committee is the increasing likelihood that their son, CJ, has played his last game for Pines.
The 25-year-old has played in most outfield positions at Monterey Reserve and has even played in goal but he is due to meet with Doveton officials this week.
In an off-season story published in these pages late last year Hodgson said he'd be at Pines as long as his parents were involved which gives newly promoted State 1 South-East outfit Doveton a second-to-none chance to get its man.

Lessons on strategic stability and SSBNs from the Cold War
Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope (Ret.) is a former First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, Royal Navy. This is an extract from a presentation to a Lowy Institute international workshop on sea-launched nuclear weapons and strategic stability, held in Singapore earlier this year. The role of nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) in strategic stability may seem obvious.


It has been nearly 36 years since I have been living in Gujarat, but to be honest I have still not acquired my taste for some of the Gujju food. I cannot tolerate a sweet Gujrati Dal, which happens to be a favorite with the family. Then there are snacks which are totally rocking. The Gujju Dhoklas, Paatras ,Khaman all taste awesome . Let me tell you even though I cook Gujju food but as yet I have to ask my friends for a perfect authentic recipe.
Among Gujju snacks Khaman is very popular, it is made of Besan or chick pea flour or gram flour. These are steamed lentil cakes, which are tempered after steaming. These same cakes are crumbled and then tempered all over again and a new dish is evolved which is called Sev Khamani.
The Sev Khamani which is available in the market is pretty oily and spicy too, but still we enjoy eating. I have been eating this Khamani since years, but truthfully I had never bothered to get the recipe. It is recently when I had lots of Khaman , I decided to make it for evening snacks.
This is my post for The Indian Cooking Challenge for the month of May.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, except the ENO in a large mixing bowl.
Mix everything very well, making sure there are no lumps.
Place a steamer on gas with 3 cups of water.
Add the ENO fruit salt to the batter and mix very well.
Bubbles will form, but stir well.
Pour the batter in the Thali, and place it in the steamer.
You might need to put the batter into two thaalis.
Close the lid and let it steam for 10-15 minutes.
Check with a knife if done, the knife should come out clean.
Cut into pieces to serve as khaman.
For Sev khamani crumble these pieces.
Add mustard seeds, let crackle.
Add sesame seeds and immediately add asafoetida.
Add curry leaves, green chilly and minced garlic.
Let the garlic turn pink.
Add turmeric powder and the crumbled khaman pieces.
Sprinkle nylon Sev , coriander leaves, coconut and pomegranate pearls.
The khamani can be made in advance but the Sev and rest of the garnishes should be added only at the time of serving.

Greece: Immigrant dies during police operation in Athens
An immigrant from Senegal died falling from a height, on the rails of the subway in Thiseio station in central Athens, during an operation of Municipal Police to remove street vendors from tourist area.
A big operation of Municipal Police started on Friday afternoon on the touristic area of Thiseio, in central Athens, to remove immigrants from the streets, who work as street vendors to live.
During this operation Cheikh Babacar Ndiaye a 37 years old immigrant from Senegal, was chased and he died falling from a height, on the rails of the subway in Thiseio station.
From the blood seen on the pictures possibly his death resulted from the fall.
Subway metro services were disrupted for at least two hours.
First aid assistants removed the body of the immigrant from the rails.
Meanwhile his friends gathered at the station, together with other people from Senegal.
Some of them mourned, but when they saw the stretcher with the dead body they began to shout and protest. Some of them they shouted that Police is racists.
Riot police arrived immediately and attacked the gathered people, and cleared the area around the station.
At the same moment of the attack the dead body of immigrant was moved to an ambulance and left the area, for an unknown and undeclared direction, in spite of the questions made on this.
The dead body of the immigrant lies on the rails of the subway.

Found 7 entries in 0.035 seconds.
How much control do you have over the Words of Radiance cover?
Some. By dint of being fairly well-known in the industry. But I'm really fond of Whelan's work and more likely to pick a direction from concept sketches than push Whelan somewhere entirely new.
Could you, for instance, hold firm for epicanthic folds on Rosharan characters?
Probably yes, but most of Whelan's cover work has been figures in the distance for now so that isn't likely to be an issue.
I just noticed stylistically the cover for Oathbringer is a little bit different. Is that still Michael Whelan?
That's still Michael Whelan. Yeah, Michael is really-- Michael is my favorite illustrator. I don't know if you guys know-- have read what I've written-- but I got into fantasy and science fiction because of Dragonsbane-- the cover of that. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but it was Dragonsbane and then I went to the card catalog and found the next book closest to it that looked-- that was a dragon book. So I didn't know dragon books, and I found Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey, which also had a Whelan cover at that point. And I just kind of-- Whelan became my go to. He's gone through various art stages, you can go look. For a while he was doing these really sweeping landscapes, as you see some of the Dark Tower covers have that, and Way of Kings-- the original-- has that. And he's occasionally done figure studies, through his career. And then with this one we're getting like a color study really, it feels like to me, which is another thing that he's done. So I kind of feel like I've gotten three different styles of covers from Michael, which I really like. I actually think his Shallan painting from the inside cover of Words of Radiance is my favorite. But that one came about because he's like, "I felt like painting Shallan," and he just did. *laughter* "Do you guys want this? I just painted it." It's really funny because Michael Whelan, like, it's really hard to get him for a cover. I mean, you know his prices are way higher. And then when he just accidentally does another cover for you. It was very cool but kind of weird. I own The Way of Kings, like the actual original. I'm so happy, like I-- after all these years of admiring Michael Whelan I had to buy that one. So it hangs in my office above the fireplace.
Wayne, as a character, really grew into himself here. It is interesting to me how quickly he came together as I started working on this book. That first false start was awful—yet, once I started writing about him as a counterpoint to Wax, he just popped out fully formed, Athena-like, brimming with personality and strength.
I do worry that he'll overshadow Wax a bit—which is one reason why it's good to wait until chapter eight to give him a viewpoint. However, I think it is a matter of appeal. The two of them will appeal to different readers. I really like how the two play off one another and have different strengths.
By the way, I realize the cover has a problem with Wayne holding a gun. It wasn't worth complaining about, as I felt that there needed to be a gun on the cover to indicate the shift in the Mistborn setting. However, Wax's hands are both down low, so the gun really does need to be in Wayne's hand. Just pretend he's holding it for Wax.
Books were published in sort of different territories and different countries, obviously there's always different covers for different regions. So America has like a certain style of cover which is very different from what we have over here. How much input do you have into, sort of, the artist, who is chosen and do you have a favorite sort of style of cover for your books?
Very good question. So, I don't necessarily have a--how should I say--I get to have a lot to say these days over cover artists. I could ask for a cover artist, if they're available, they'll get them for me, and things like that. Not in my early career, but now. The trick is, in the UK, we use the same cover artist for everything and this is the big difference between the UK market and the US market. The US publisher likes to change with each series to a new cover artist, to say "look, it's a new series". For the UK, they distinguish a new series by the color scheme, so you'll notice all the Mistborn books have a blue swirl, whereas all of the Way of Kings have a red, or orange-ish tinge to them and, you know, Elantris has the green and things like that. That's how they do that. They like that all of your books look the same on the shelf.
UK also likes--how can I put it--classier covers *laughter* and that leads to, in some ways, some covers that I think are fantastic and some that are just a little generic, because they try to go kind of classy, if that makes sense, and so you just end up with not much on the cover. The US covers vary a lot more. I've had my worst covers of, you know, among US covers, and I've had my best covers because the US likes to do this painting of some sort of scene represented, almost more of a movie poster for the book, so some of those get really cringe-worthy. They just get--Like my middle-grade series, the Alcatraz books, oh those covers in the US were dreadful. In the UK they were very stylish and with like some iconic picture on them, but in the US they were, oh, so bad. But The Way of Kings, the painting, the US painting's one of my favorite covers I've ever had and I actually went and bought that painting itself, but I have a soft spot for Michael Whelan, he's the artist of that.
What's the character on [the UK Oathbringer cover]?
That is Jasnah. I think. I am almost 100% sure.
I wasn't sure. There's a bunch, there's a few different characters that could all fit, so I wasn't certain.
I sent the same description of the scene near the end with the wall to both artists and that's basically what they came up with.

Back-to-school kickoff caps summer pop-up library series in Niles
NILES — The Niles Community Schools district is inviting students and families to attend a back-to-school kickoff Wednesday as the culminating event in its summer pop-up library series.
The kickoff will run from 6 to 6:30 p.m. at Niles High School's Viking Stadium, 1441 Eagle St.
Mascots Viktor Viking and Clifford the Big Red Dog will make appearances, and each student will have the opportunity to choose a free book to take home. Attendees also will be able to meet players from Niles High School athletic teams.
Through a continued partnership with Meet Up and Eat Up summer program and the United Way of Southwest Michigan, the district was able to bring pop-up libraries to Niles elementary students throughout the summer. At each event, students took home a book of their choice for free.
"Niles Community Schools is committed to providing our students and their families with resources to enable continuous learning," said Donna Roark, assistant superintendent. "We are excited to start the school year strong by continuing to encourage reading at home."
At the end of the previous school year, the district provided every preschool and elementary student a summer reading take-home pack. The pack included books specific to each student's reading level.
The pop-up library program was launched by the school district with a goal of reducing the loss of learning that often occurs during summer vacation. This year, the number of pop-up library events increased from six to 13.

Cornell university's Inauguration Day took place on this date in 1868. The previous day, each of the candidates who showed up in Ithaca was given an entrance examination. There were 412 successful applicants. With this initial enrollment, Cornell's first class was, at the time, the largest entering class at a US university. On the occasion, Ezra Cornell delivered a brief speech. He said, "I hope we have laid the foundation of an institution which shall combine practical with liberal education. … I believe we have made the beginning of an institution which will prove highly beneficial to the poor young men and the poor young women of our country." His speech included another statement which later became the school's motto, "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."
Ezra Cornell
Two other Ezra Cornell-founded, Ithaca institutions played a role in the rapid opening of the university. The Cornell Library, a public library in downtown Ithaca which opened in 1866 served as a classroom and library for the first students. Also Cascadilla Hall, which was constructed in 1866 as a water cure sanitarium, served at the university's first dormitory.
Cornell was among the first universities in the United States to admit women alongside men. The first woman was admitted to Cornell in 1870, although the university did not yet have a women's dormitory. On February 13, 1872, Cornell's Board of Trustees accepted an offer of $250,000 from Henry W. Sage to build such a dormitory. During the construction of Sage College (now home to the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management as Sage Hall) and after its opening in 1875, the admittance of women to Cornell continued to increase.
Significant departures from the standard curriculum were made at Cornell under the leadership of Andrew D. White. In 1868, Cornell introduced the elective system, under which students were free to choose their own course of study. Harvard University would make a similar change in 1872, soon after the inauguration of Charles W. Eliot in 1869. It was the success of the egalitarian ideals of the newly established Cornell, a uniquely American institution, that would help drive some of the changes seen at other universities throughout the next few decades.
In 1892, the university library was opened. Known today as Uris Library, it was the result of a gift from Henry W. Sage in memory of Jennie McGraw. In her will, she left $300,000 to her husband Willard Fiske, $550,000 to her brother Joseph and his children, $200,000 to Cornell for a library, $50,000 for construction of McGraw Hall, $40,000 for a student hospital, and the remainder to the University for whatever use it saw fit. However, the University's charter limited its property holdings to $3,000,000, and Cornell could not accept the full amount of McGraw's gift. When Fiske realized that the university had failed to inform him of this restriction, he launched a legal appeal to re-acquire the money, known as The Great Will Case. The United States Supreme Court eventually affirmed the judgment of the New York Court of Appeals that Cornell could not receive the estate on May 19th, 1890, with Justice Samuel Blatchford giving the majority opinion. However, Sage then donated $500,000 to build the library instead.
My association with Cornell is a bit circuitous, but longstanding. Cornell University Press published my Ph.D. dissertation in 1988, and re-issued it as an e-book in 2017. During the initial phases of editing the book for publication I visited Ithaca several times, and toured the campus and surrounds. I also had several students go on to
do graduate work at Cornell, and attended their commencements. Several of my students also had a parent on the faculty at Cornell. All rather fine threads, but weaving a strong fabric all the same.
The school colors of Cornell, carnelian and white, also have a strange history with me and lead to today's recipe. I am always fascinated by the roots of English words and /CARN/ (flesh) is one of my favorites because it spawns a plethora of words that seem to be unrelated, yet all tie to "flesh" somehow – carnival (remove flesh for Lent), carnation (flesh-colored flower), carnivore (flesh eater), incarnation (taking flesh), and, of course, carnelian (a flesh-colored stone). But it does not stop there. Campbell's canning company was started in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell, a fruit merchant who lived in Bridgeton, New Jersey. It started out by producing canned vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments and minced meats. But in 1897, John T. Dorrance, a chemist with degrees from MIT and Göttingen University, joined the company and developed a way to condense their soups. By halving the quantity of its water, he reduced the can size, and condensed soup took off.
Its blue and orange label was a mainstay for nearly 30 years, until a company executive, Herberton Williams, saw the Cornell University football team in action. Impressed by the carnelian red and bright white of their uniforms, he convinced the company to switch branding colors.
I'm not a huge fan of canned soups, condensed or otherwise, but a couple of Campbell's offerings work for me, namely, Pepper Pot and Scotch Broth. You can go to the Campbell's website for recipe ideas using their soups, but I don't recommend them. There's something a tad 1950s-ish to me about using canned soup to tart up a recipe. I prefer natural – i.e. unprocessed – ingredients when I am cooking. I make my own pepper pot and Scotch broth from scratch also, but the Campbell's varieties used to be my standbys when I wanted something quick. Maybe you have a fav? You can comment if you do.

Sentences containing predicates of personal taste exhibit two striking features: (a) whether they are true seems to lie in the eye of the beholder and (b) whether they are true can be—and often is—subject to disagreement. In the last decade, there has been a lively debate about how to account for these two features. In this paper, I shall argue for two claims: first, I shall show that even the most promising approaches so far offered by proponents of so-called indexical contextualism fail to account for the disagreement feature. They might be able to account for some disagreement data, but they have trouble accounting for two kinds of disagreement data that caused the estrangement from indexical contextualism and the migration to relativism in the first place: the denial and the retraction data. Second, I shall show that we still do not have to abandon indexical contextualism, because what I shall call the superiority approach—a new pragmatically extended version of indexical contextualism—can very well account for the data.
Earlier versions of this material were presented at various events including the workshop Mind, World and Action in Dubrovnic, the Joint Session in Stirling, the workshop Tiefe Meinungsverschiedenheiten in Berlin, a masterclass on relativism at the NIP in Aberdeen, Tobias Rosefeldt's research seminar in Berlin, Benjamin Schnieder's research seminar in Hamburg, and the GAP-Doktorandenworkshop. I am grateful to all these audiences for helpful feedback.
