The tech did a great job he is on top of it. A very nice man. Bought my disposal from him.
That tech is one awesome plumber!!
The tech did an amazing job. He knows my plumbing. I will always wait for him to be available in the future.
I just want to inform you that your tech is considerate and professional. He explained what the problems were clearly and what needed to be done.
Craig is friendly and knowledgeable about his craft. He had the problem figured out and repaired quickly.
The tech is an amazing plumber. He took his time to explain what was going on with our water heater and offered several options on how to proceed. Professional individual and company!
The tech was fantastic and fixed the problem, was on time and friendly.
The tech is fast, courteous and really knows his stuff. He explained everything he was doing as he did it. I will use and recommend Gold Seal!
Kudo's to you and your team in fixing my tank-less water heater. Your customer service was excellent and you went above and beyond in getting the parts here and getting it fixed as quickly as possible. Thank you!
Called for estimate, Ryan was out the next day. Very good customer service, very professional and was honest and pleasant to work with. Cost was upfront and work was done in a timely fashion. Will use Gold Seal Again!!
The tech was great and did a wonderful job, I am very impressed.
The tech is a nice young man, respectful and did a wonderful job.
Great job, and it didn't take very long. Only issue was Ryan had to much muscle to fit under my corner kitchen. He called a skinny apprentice (Bob) and the two of them had it done in no time. It cost $50 less than I thought it would!
I called Gold Seal because they were highly rated on Angie's List and they were listed as a Ruud independent partner. I was having problems with my Ruud hot water tank and had had a bad experience with another plumbing company while trying to get it repaired. Gold Seal sent Sam over first thing, he spent the time to figure out what was wrong, price out several options to repair or replace, and never had a high-pressure sales pitch. Ultimately, he was friendly, thorough, patiently answered my countless questions, and did just a fantastic job installing the new tank today. The amount of work he had to do to get my tank in was not small, but he pulled it off and tonight, I have hot water. And, I'm looking forward to his install of a Watts One Flow Anti-Scale filter in a couple weeks. Thanks Gold Seal!
Ryan A knew what he was doing. He was figured out the problem and fixed it in 2 hours what would have taken me 2 days or more. This guy's good at his job and he didn't make fun of my messy house…Next time I need a plumber, I would prefer he did the job. Even if plumbing is expensive, I'm glad I had a professional do it.
The tech was very professional and respectful. He worked quickly and was well educated and prepared to answer all of our questions. Fantastic Service!
Ryan A. was extremely courteous, very knowledgeable, and a true professional. I was immediately impressed when he installed booties as he entered my home, to protect my carpets. He went right to the task at hand, and did a great job.
Ryan A. arrived at my home, and immediately put on "booties' to protect the carpet. He was courteous, knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. Because of my experience with Ryan A.; I will definitely call Gold Seal Plumbing in the future when I need a plumber; and I will gladly refer Gold Seal to my colleagues and friends. Great Service and Professionalism really do make a big difference.
The tech was excellent. He was very professional, friendly and honest. Joe did first class work. I will call Gold Seal and request him for a larger Job I have planned in the next year.
THE TECH WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ARTICULATE ABOUT THE WATER HEATER HE INSTALLED. WE WILL USE HIM TO INSTALL SEVERAL SINKS AND FAUCETS THIS SUMMER. THANK YOU VERY M U C H!
Larry did a great job providing excellent service, explaining the issue, and completing the repairs. I will definitely call Gold Seal again for any plumbing needs. Thanks!
Troy really knew his stuff, we had over 120 feet of pipe and he was able to get us clog free and made great recommendations going forward. Troy and Sam even cleaned our bathroom and part of our basement. They were a class act! Thanks Guys….
The tech was friendly, Informative, and quite efficient, our house is old, and he provided us with the best options available to us without any kind of pressure. Sometimes, it can be awkward having a professional come into your home to fix something. This was not the case at all, He helped us save money and went out of his way to double check more than was necessary just so we had a professional opinion. Highly recommended.
The tech with Gold Seal Plumbing was awesome! Fantastic customer service and made sure the job was done right. This was my first encounter with Gold Seal Plumbing – He was awesome and I feel confident and satisfied in the work he did. I will call on Gold Seal Plumbing again for all of my plumbing needs! And, thank you to Brandi who took my call very professional.
Ryan was very friendly and explained the repair well. Great job.
Called Gold Seal to unclog our kitchen sink. They called prior so the appointment to confirm that they were on the way. He arrived provided an estimate of the cost and promptly got to work. The drain was plugged very far in to the plumbing system he had to use a mechanical snake to clear the clog. Throughout the service he was very courteous explained what he was doing. When he completed the work he cleaned up the area and put everything back together. It is very refreshing to have a courteous professional help solve a problem that I would not have been able so solve myself, Thanks Gold Seal!
Doug was great! Answered all my questions, even those that had nothing to do with the service I called about, awesome!
Awesome! I highly recommend them. They were prompt with responding. Courteous, If customer service was always this good, then the world would be a better place. And, probably most importantly, as a military family, a discount, which is live more stars right there.
The tech was prompt and provided clear and concise direction. Problem was not resolve on the first visit but set expectations and delivered, I highly recommend Gold Seal. Thanks for a great experience!
The tech's service today was excellent, He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was also very efficient, we are excited to work with him in the future!
Great service in all the times I have had your service Techs out to my house, I cannot praise your guys and the ladies in the office enough. Way to go!
Rob came to replace a bathroom sink and faucet–which he did an excellent job with. He also made some safety recommendations that we can take care of in the future. He was professional and extremely thorough and knowledgeable about our plumbing needs. I would recommend Gold Seal Plumbing.
The tech did a get service on the system, explain what he was going to do and what he is doing at the time. Came in with booties on his shoe and make sure everything was clean and made sure everything stayed dry. Over all very good job.
I sent a work order in online, got a call early the next morning, the tech was here before 10 am, checked out my problem, gave me an estimate which I accepted. Work was done quickly and efficiently. Everything checked out and he was on his way. I would certainly recommend Gold Seal Plumbing and use them again myself. Thank you!
Excellent and very professional service. The tech was very quick and very thorough, all the while maintaining a very professional and pleasant demeanor. Would recommend him and Gold Seal Plumbing for anyone looking for quality plumbing professionals.
The tech is top notch. When I call to have any work done, I only want him.
They were on time and very respectful of my home. They did a excellent job an made sure I new all about my new product before they left.
Plumber arrived close to the time given. He put booties on to avoid tracking in stuff. Went to work and fixed the problem in a couple hours. He knew what needed to be done and had the parts with him. Gave an estimate of costs before starting.
The tech did a great job opening a clogged drain and resetting a toilet. He left the bathroom clean. He has a pleasant personality too. We have used Gold Seal many times over the years and have always been pleased with their work and service.
The tech was neat, polite and very fast. He check all his work and the city's work also.
The tech was professional and courteous. He looked at our leaking toilet (20+ yrs old) and gave us an honest estimate to fix it or replace it. Encouraged us to take a day or two to think about it-no pressure to make a decision right away. We elected to replace it (we already thought it would be required) and he was able to do it immediately with a toilet he had in his truck. He cleaned up when done thanks! and left us with a sparkling new toilet. I will definitely call Gold Seal with any plumbing needs we have.
Want to give a shout out to your tech. What started out as what appeared to be a simple plumbing job turned into one issue after another. He wouldn't give up and he was able to succeed, but only after hours of frustration. He was very profesional and didn't lose his great attitude through out the whole frustrating process! I would highly recommend Gold Seal Plumbing, the whole experience for me was one positive event after another during a time of great frustration!
I would like to give a big thanks and my appreciation to Gold Seal and Rob for coming to my house on a dark cold night this week when I had a leaking toilet. He assessed the problem correctly and gave me valuable advice that I truly needed to make a decision in replacing my bathroom floor and seal for the toilet. Thank you!
Ron Hawkins did a great lob. He was able to solve the problem quickly. He was very professional and yet friendly. Next time we have a heating problem we will ask for Ron.
The tech provided courteous and professional service when repairing an old 1950 era tub leaky faucet. We would definitely recommend him as a plumber.
Scott was wonderful. He showed me how to use my water softener end was wonderful to work with, would special request him in the future.
Doug S is courteous and professional. He not only quickly found the leak, but he also provided advice on prevention and maintenance that I could do. I will definitely call Gold Seal next time.
The tech did a very good job explaining what needed to be done. He worked quickly and efficiently.
The tech at Gold Seal Plumbing was professional and extremely courteous. I was very impressed by the service.
They were able to schedule me the same day as my blockage of the kitchen sink, due to too much celery at a time in the disposal!! The tech was quick to show me what the problem was, handled it professionally, and explained my questions. They got me in the same day as I reported the problem, even though it meant he had to work late on a Friday night.
I have had work done by Gold Seal several times with outstanding results. Today's visit was no different. Craig K. was very pleasant and professional. I'm very pleased with all his work.
I just wanted to say, Scott was very polite about answering all my questions. He actually showedand explained everything he did. This is a gentleman I would call again if I have a problem inthe future.
Rob explained everything to me. Very informativeand friendly.
Larry Rowe arrived early after a phone call and did a very good job. I will use Gold Seal Plumbing again if I need plumbing work done.
This was the first time using a plumbing service, we are so glad that we used Gold Seal Plumbing. We needed a hot water tank replaced and they sent over a guy named Larry Rowe, what a guy, very nice and very knowledgeable. He had answers to the questions that I asked and explaned everything he was going to do. After the install he inspected all facutes and drains in the house. We are going to have some work done this spring and we are going to use Gold Seal Plumbing again and have Larry come out again. If you need any kind of plumbing done call these guys.and have Larry come out again. If you need any kind of plumbing done call these guys.
They knew what they were doing and did an excellent job in replacing a 58 yr. old steel pipe plumbing from the shower and bathroom sinks that drained into the main stack going to the sewer line. This was done in a shorter time period then was estimated. They were very knowledgeable and courteous.
I called and spoke to your office, she was very helpful and pleasant on the phone. A couple hours later Doug was at my house and fixed the shower leak that had been so bothersome. I am so happy now and it was all done so quickly. Works great now!
Rob M did a very good professional job of getting a new floor sink installed in the main kitchen of the Spokane Valley Methodist Church. He provided low winning bid, scheduled other needed subcontractors and got the job done on time and on budget. Thank you Rob and Gold Seal Plumbing.
Ron H did an outstanding job. All plumbers have been great including Ryan A and Bill S. I use Gold Seal frequently and Altadena Apartments would recommend them to anybody. Service is a little bit expensive, but worth the cost.
The tech met me at my sister and brother-in-laws home since they were at work and not able to let him in. He was professional and friendly. After showing him where the plumbing issues were, he got right to work. The work was completed very quickly. He also noticed there was a leaky tub faucet. He gave me a quote to fix it. My brother-in-law agreed. He fixed that in record time too. He was able to offer a discount too! Who doesn't like saving money? I have a joke with my sister that I like helping her spend her money. While that is true, I also appreciated saving her money. Gold Seal Plumbing just gained a brand new customer because of my positive experience with him. I'll call next time I need a plumber.
The tech did a wonderful job, he did more than I expected. He went the extra mile!
The tech is a fantastic guy, and John and Dennis were great also!
I attempted to review the work on reviewbuzz, but not engaging in "Social Media", it could not be posted. The work was performed at our rental home on Vantage Lane. The tech and his crew did a great job, under very muddy and tough conditions. I was on-site at the time and was advised of the progress all the way until completion. They very professional throughout. Great job!
Scott was our plumber and we could not have been more pleased with his work and the services he provided. We had two bathrooms re-tiled and new fixtures, including toilets, installed. Scott was prompt, worked quickly and efficiently, answered all of our questions. We will definitely be calling Gold Seal for future plumbing needs.
Ryan Anderson was very professional and has a great personality. He took time to answer all of my questions. I was very pleased with his performance.
I would like to let you know how impressed I am with your company. We were having clanking pipes with our hot water so I called yesterday and already had a service man out today. In today's world that is close to extinction!!! Thank you for setting up my appointment so promptly. Next, I'd like to mention the service man you sent out to us. Being a retired UPS driver, I understand the 'service provider' part quite well and your employee Larry was a great example of such, and one you should be very proud to have working for you. He was punctual, informative, and knowledgeable. Not to mention, just a real nice cordial guy. He found our problem, and made sure it was fixed before he left. We will call your company in a heartbeat if plumbing services are needed again. Thank you for being a great company and hiring great employees!!! No wonder you have been in business for so long. We will also tell anyone we know with plumbing problems to call your company.
Ryan Anderson did a great job! He was friendly, efficient, and informative. He gave me extra help on the laundry tub I tried to fix myself. He went beyond just being a plumber. I was pleasantly and extremely surprised.
He is an awesome plumber!!!! We loved his energy and he showed us how everything works and explained everything. He makes the company what it is.
Jason is an outstanding plumber and was and extreme joy to work with at 4 a.m.

Even though I did not need your services today I wanted to let you know just how wonderful and classy your tech was, and how amazing your plumbing company is. Whenever I do need plumbing work in the future, Gold Seal will be my only call.
Your tech did things right and is a great guy. I will highly recommend Gold Seal, they are the top plumbers on my list.

The tech is an amazing plumber and contrary to the stigma, he is a big softy with a good heart and I love Gold Seal.
Scott B, from Gold Seal Plumbing, has been to our house twice in the past week to repair a pinhole leak in two different pipes! Not only is Scott professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and polite… he is extremely instructive! He was able to explain clearly the possible reasons for our problem and various options for a permanent fix. We will continue to use Gold Seal for all of our plumbing needs…. and we will continue to request Scott's service! Thank you!
The tech was very professional and a spectacular plumber, I was very satisfied with all the work he did, especially in coordinating with the other contractors we had coming to our house.
Scott is great I think he should get a bonus. He did a great job cleaning out our drain.
Your tech was amazing. He fit under the deck and that is a feat in itself. All of the plumbers that you have sent to my house are exceptional, but John is the best so far.
Ryan S was pleasant and a good worker.
The tech is wonderful, he deserves a bonus. Thanks for coming out the same day I was expecting to have to wait 3-4 days for service. He was a gem.
Ryan did a great job and I have already scheduled additional work that Ryan recommended I have done. I want Ryan's bosses to know how satisfied I am with Ryan's work.
Your tech did an excellent job addressing all my concerns and he is an exceptional plumber.
Bill Schwald was professional, friendly, and did nice work. He also explained everything very well, which made for a great experience.
Ryan Starley was excellent and I would like him to come back as my plumber from now on.
Craig Killin was fabulous, professional, and friendly.
The tech was clean and efficient. He answered all my questions in a professional manner. He hit it out of the ball park, that is why I use Gold Seal, fair price and great quality.
The tech is a very lovely man and I was very happy with his customer service.
Thanks for the fantastic service on our leaking tub. The tech took the time and care to find out what was wrong with our existing faucet and fixed it, rather than push us into an overly-expensive replacement that I know other plumbers would have advocated. He was careful, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We will certainly be recommending Gold Seal to many friends and neighbors after this great experience with a company we know we can trust to do what is right. Thanks!
We would like to express how much we appreciated the improvements you made in our bathroom. You were very informative and prompt in getting the job done. You allowing us to leave you on your own in our home while we dealt with getting home from the hospital was so very helpful. We appreciate the hard work and quality job you did.
The tech was great and I was very happy with his service.
Ryan Starley was extremely helpful on 5/20 and I will definitely be using Gold Seal again.
Scott Borsel was so knowledgeable and just wonderful to work with. Thanks for coming out so quickly and sending Scott to do the work.
Your tech is a very kind and outstanding plumber.
Your tech is an amazing plumber and I will always request him from now on.
Your tech was knowledgeable and did good work. I would like everyone to know how happy I am with the service because I used to be a master plumber.
Your tech is the most professional plumber I have ever dealt with and will now be the guy I call.
I never really trust that I will get good and honest service when I call a business I don't know and especially the high dollar per hour professions. Without going into all the details of my experience, I want to say that after the work you did for me I felt I had found a really honest and people-oriented business. I will never call any plumbing business but Gold Seal and I am already telling friends about you. Thank you so much for your help and honesty which were above and beyond the call of duty.
Thank you Tom for installing the Eternal 195s tank-less water heater to replace our 12 year old 50 gallon vented gas water heater. Today (Saturday morning) my wife was able for the first time EVER, to completely fill her jetted bathtub ALL THE WAY with hot water. By itself, this would have been grand enough, but get this, SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THIS RIGHT AFTER 2 OTHER SHOWERS WERE TAKEN! We have been using Gold Seal Plumbing for many years, for various emergencies and upgrades and always have found them most accommodating, punctual and friendly. Thank you Gold Seal Plumbing. Sincerely, Michael K.
On a recent Saturday the hot water heater in my home decided to quit working. The timing couldn't have been worse as I had just received out of town guests, including a four year old girl who loves baths, who were to stay for several days. I called your Spokane office which promptly dispatched a Journeyman Plumber to troubleshoot the problem. Rick quickly determined what part was faulty. Unfortunately, due to the make and year of my HWT, the part was only available from the factory and couldn't arrive before Tuesday. Later that day, on his own initiative, Rick tracked down a loaner part from another plumber. He came out early Sunday morning, installed it and gave us hot water again. Excellent service! Thank you Rick!
This morning I contacted your Spokane, Washington office to arrange an appointment for an estimate concerning some home plumbing repair projects. The employee who assisted me was cordial and most helpful. She explained in detail the estimate process and fully answered all of my questions. She advised that a service call could be arranged for this same day. Several hours later, on time and as previously promised, your plumber, Ron arrived. He immediately introduced himself and covered his shoes with paper booties before entering our home. He reviewed all of the projects with me and it soon became very obvious that he had a wealth of experience with plumbing matters. He too, was most courteous and professional. After he completed all of my repairs and projects I was so pleased. Just having a few items in the bathroom replaced caused for it to look like a new bathroom. When he left, he took all of the boxes, old plumbing and debris, leaving the bathroom spotless. After seeing his work, I have decided to have a faucet replaced in my kitchen and look forward to that project being handled in the immediate future. When the employee who answered the phone this morning asked how I learned of your company I told her that I had noticed some of your trucks in my neighborhood, well… I hope I can bring you additional business too because when we have the need for plumbing work, you can be sure that one of your trucks will be at my house. Great employees make businesses successful! Many thanks.
I will definitely call this company again the next time we need a plumbing repair. The plumber arrived on time and was polite and friendly. Quality of the repair was excellent and he cleaned up well after the job was finished. All of my questions regarding kitchen faucets and offered useful advice on this topic.
They showed up on time for the estimate, for the work and completed it in a timely fashion.
I'm very pleased with the promptness, courteousness and professionalism.
Your tech is top-drawer, very efficient, one of the nicest guys I've met, very knowledgeable, enjoys working for Gold Seal… and Gold Seal should do whatever it takes to keep him!
What a credit to your company. You should be proud to have Rob out there representing Gold Seal. It was a treat to have him in our home. We will have Rob or Drew back when we remodel.
After observing your company performing work nearby we contacted your office and arranged a meeting… …The job was tackled with precision and professionalism. The ability of the site manager was both efficient and economical which demonstrated complete professionalism. The manner with which your crew handled the job was among the best I have ever seen in my 25 years in trades. We would be glad to provide a reference.
I really appreciated everything you did, even the simple task of removing my plants and not destroying them meant a lot. I will highly recommend you and your company to others. Thanks again.
Thank you for sending your tech to check my water heater. I have finally found an honest plumber. He was professional, polite & did an outstanding job… I will recommend Gold Seal to everyone I know.
Gold Seal should be commended for hiring plumbers of his quality. He took his time and did the work properly and kept me in the loop at all times.
I am writing this note to express my sincere appreciation for the services provided by your company, especially that of your service technician. He and his co-workers have worked late into the night in multiple occasions to make sure that my plumbing was SAFE and SECURE. Not only was I impressed by their competence and skill, I appreciated them for their gentleman like behavior. I am very grateful for their dedication and skilled services, as well as their dependability.
It was so nice to be treated the way she treated us over the phone. She actually cared about us. She is fantastic.
He was personable, tolerant of all my questions and represented Gold Seal very well as have all their employees who have been at my house.
He is a very conscientious worker… he really knows his stuff. I also appreciated him looking me in the eye when he talked with me and that he wore booty covers on his shoes.

Q: How to make a bool query with must over multiple fields in ElasticSearch? Sorry for this noob question, but ElasticSearch queries can be confusing...
Goal: Create a query that works like Google's search queries. The more words you enter the fewer matching results you get. For example "szechuan sauce" yields more results than "mulan szechuan sauce".
My index has a type for blog posts, which has the fields "title", "tags", "categories". ElasticSearch must find every document which matches with all words from the query. The words can be spread over all fields. For example if a document's title contains "mulan", its tags contain "szechuan" and its categories contain "sauce", then this should be a match, but not if one word is missing.
I tried different bool queries, but even when I use "must" then the result contains documents which do not match with all query words.
For example I tried:
String queryString = "mulan szechuan sauce";
QueryBuilder titleMatchQuery = QueryBuilders.matchQuery("title", queryString);
QueryBuilder tagsMatchQuery = QueryBuilders.matchQuery("tags", queryString);
QueryBuilder categoryMatchQuery = QueryBuilders.matchQuery("categories", queryString);
QueryBuilder combinedBoolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
    .must(titleMatchQuery)
    .must(tagsMatchQuery)
    .must(categoryMatchQuery);

This compiles to:
{
  "bool" : {
    "must" : [ {
      "match" : {
        "title" : {
          "query" : "mulan szechuan sauce",
          "type" : "boolean"
        }
      }
    }, {
      "match" : {
        "tags" : {
          "query" : "mulan szechuan sauce",
          "type" : "boolean"
        }
      }
    }, {
      "match" : {
        "categories" : {
          "query" : "mulan szechuan sauce",
          "type" : "boolean"
        }
      }
    } ]
  }
}

As said, this also yields results which to not contain all words from the query :-/

A: Use multi_match instead and you're good:
String queryString = "mulan szechuan sauce";
QueryBuilder multiMatchQuery = QueryBuilders.multiMatchQuery(queryString,
    "title", "tags", "categories");
QueryBuilder combinedBoolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
    .must(multiMatchQuery);

A Mixed Hero: A Libertarian Reassessment of Elon Musk
July 23, 2017 / Konrad Graf
Many libertarians seem to love to hate Elon Musk these days. His crime is to live at the public purse. His companies would be bankrupt without green subsidies and cheap government loans and contracts. He seeks out favorable terms from governments and angles to capture subsidies and cheap loans with no reservation and with vast success at doing so. This situation, along with certain financing practices and relationships among his companies, has led to it becoming fashionable to disdain Musk as a public figure and to characterize him with sweeping put-downs.
I have a more complex assessment of Musk as a figure. I enjoyed listening to his 2015 biography by Ashlee Vance. I tend to look for the positive things in people. One positive quality here is the ability to re-envision products from the ground up in a completely different way. The Tesla is not just the evolution of the car, but a completely new way to think about what a car is. A car is a thing with an engine and a drive train, right? True for a century, but not any more. Musk has done in the fields of cars and rockets, what Steve Jobs did for computers and phones, completely re-envisioned what they could be, how they could be built, and how they could be used.
A second quality is execution under very challenging circumstances. Anyone can have big ideas, but only the few are able to successfully execute on them in the "really existing" world. SpaceX's rocket designs and rocket reuse and the Tesla Model S were almost universally deemed impossible—until the job was actually done. Rocket reuse was just a science-fiction fantasy. SpaceX did it. An electric car "that didn't suck" was also an impossibility—until Tesla built the Model S, which has been assessed by multiple car review magazines as basically the best car in the world, bar none, on both safety and performance. It is not only as good as conventional vehicles, it leaves them all behind, not just on green measures, but on car measures as such.
So from a simple first look, at this level, one could argue that however these things were achieved, they were at least potentially positive achievements (though this assessment will be qualified further below). In addition, Musk cannot be accused of relying on subsidies to the exclusion of also having skin in the game. He has repeatedly staked recklessly large portions of his personal fortune on bridging impossible-looking financial stretches for his enterprises.
I fully support the view that actively advocating for the expenditure of public funds is immoral. The only moral way to advocate for the use of public funds is to argue in favor of their return to the people to whom they rightfully belong, namely those whose wealth was forcibly extracted, mainly the original taxpayers.
On the other hand, if taxpayers in their role as victims of the state accept state handouts that are already flowing—provided they do not actively advocate for the continuation of such handouts—it is perfectly moral for them to take receipt of such funds as a form of limited restitution for other damages they suffer at the state's hands on a constant basis. This includes not only direct taxation but all the myriad seen and unseen harms from the arbitrary "regulation" of many aspects of life and work, all unjust restrictions on the liberties of mutually consensual production, trade, and association.
In this context, Musk's actions in relation to subsidies and government contracts must be viewed as mixed. Green vehicle subsidies, for example, already existed before Tesla. Building a car that would qualify for them does not—in itself—constitute advocating for the subsidy program. Seeing only crappy electric cars receiving subsidies, an entrepreneur could quite reasonably set out to build a better competing car that would also receive these same pre-existing subsidies instead of the crappy golf-cart cars.
Of course, Musk certainly does promote such programs. However, only at the point where he benefits from programs the adoption or maintenance of which was actually influenced by his advocacy—does a moral case against his benefiting from them become unmistakable. The minimal conceptual dividing line is that simply benefiting from subsidies is not objectionable per se, advocating for them is objectionable, and advocating for them and then also receiving benefits as a result of such advocacy is the worst case.
In this view, I suspect that his guilt is far more mixed than a simplistic portrayal of "his company benefits from subsidies, and could not exist without them." His enterprises have surely benefited in all three types of ways, ranging from acceptable to less acceptable to not acceptable.
Context is also important. No car company would exist in its current form and at its current scale without unimaginably massive subsidies continuously provided to all automobiles over many decades, distorting not only the entire structure of transportation, but also the very formation and shapes of cities and communities. This vast structural distortion of the entire transportation industry, which systematically twists spatial relationships between residences and businesses, takes a simple form: the production and maintenance of roads provided free of charge to drivers, financed by taxation. A simple heuristic to consider while commuting is that every time one has to pay by waiting, such as in a long line or in thick traffic, the state is squarely to blame.
In prosecuting Musk for his moral position in relation to the receipt of government support, another "extenuating circumstance" of wider context must be considered. What his companies have done with the money and other advantages he receives from state entities is far more valuable a contribution than almost anything else that follows from other uses of such money and advantages.
Most of the state's money goes to "the production of bads," to use Hoppe's terminology, as opposed to the free market's production of goods. We do not want the production of bads to be carried out more efficiently. Indeed, we do not want bads to be produced at all—less of them is better.
Not only is the money the state extracts from the productive population wasted once when initially extracted, the ways that this money is subsequently used are generally quite wasteful a second time, compounding the damage to society. In the US case, most government money goes to the following types of uses: financing global military interventionism and promoting armed conflict and death all around the world, financing vast bureaucracies that meddle in all aspects of society, undermining healthy natural incentives, promoting fragility, harming employment, limiting innovation, and spreading social and cultural degeneration, high time preference, frailty, and dependency across the population.
Against this backdrop, Tesla has extracted something from the stream of public money and used it as part of a project which has produced arguably the best car the world has ever seen.
Why libertarians should want to focus vitriol on this, one of the best existing uses of the state's handouts is somewhat mysterious. Why not spend the same time complaining about the 99+% of uses of state subsidies and privileges that lead to worse outcomes than this?
It is far easier to criticize than to achieve. A sad and strong cultural tendency is to find flaws in hero figures and emphasize those flaws over their positive characteristics. But what does such cultural cynicism bring?
My approach is the opposite in two ways: focusing on the positive and focusing on qualities. I look for admirable aspects of a person. I look for actions and qualities to which positive adjectives such as heroic can be applied, rather than attempting to apply a blanket noun such as hero (or not a hero) to necessarily multifaceted persons. I always look for what I can admire and/or borrow, in both people and thought systems. If I were to look for the worst in others and focus on that, it would be simple, but would accomplish nothing, since I would always find and focus on negative aspects of persons, aspects which I did not want to emulate. If instead I look for the best in each person, I always have something available to learn from and emulate. Likewise, if I look for the best in each thought system, and dismiss the rest, I always have one new puzzle piece to add to my own global knowledge synthesis.
I agree that Musk is guilty of actively seeking to gain from state handouts. However, this is partly mitigated in that at least some of these handouts were already being handed out, and could therefore be legitimately captured as partial restitution for other damages that the state continuously inflicts. It is also partly mitigated in that the uses to which these funds are being put are arguably positive developments relative to the worse outcomes that result from almost all other uses of money derived from state coffers.
It should be made clear that extenuating circumstances do not make it morally acceptable to advocate for the receipt of subsidies from the state. Nevertheless, guilt on this count (albeit probably somewhat more mitigated guilt than some critics have implied) should not be interpreted such as to invalidate the man's positive attributes and accomplishments.
As I read Musk's biography a couple years back, I came to view him more as the type of mixed Randian semi-hero who blends a certain heroic genius in some areas with serious flaws elsewhere. His genius is a vision- and engineering-driven entrepreneurship that has proven able to repeatedly achieve "the impossible" in practice in productive sectors of technological achievement (mainly transportation). One of his flaws is being all too gleeful in his pursuit of capturing ill-gotten gains from the state as one of the means he uses in this process.
The purest of the Randian superheroes all went on vacation from their professions in an exclusive mountain resort. Engaging with the real world to achieve great things today is often messy and complex. This is not an excuse to soften one's moral principles in action. However, Musk's own moral worldview contains no compunctions about attempting to influence state and regulatory actions, including in favor of his own enterprises. He can therefore be accused of being morally mistaken on this topic. Yet this amounts to the relatively simple claim that he is not a libertarian, which I do not think is in dispute.
I do not buy into the bases of some of Musk's bigger-picture motivations, above all global warming death hype. In addition, I argue in "The Unbearable Lightness of Martian Gravity" that his Mars colonization vision could very well turn out to be a dead-end, not on technical grounds, but on biological ones. That said, I do not criticize in order to take down a hero figure. I acknowledge and appreciate the heroic aspects of the figure, while also acknowledging the flaws and pointing out what I believe to be the errors.
Ron Paul said that if we are reducing the size of the state, the place to start is not with old ladies' state pension checks, but with outlandish militarism and a state-orchestrated monetary system that enables virtually unlimited debt financing for the state and its cronies. Probably one of the last things to cut out in dismantling the interventionist state is old ladies' pension checks, and this after other policies that have undermined responsible private retirement saving, real insurance, and natural multi-generational care practices have been long since eliminated.
Likewise, libertarians complaining about uses to which government money is being put might consider that Tesla subsidies could well be among the best uses to which such money is currently being put. They might therefore redirect their attention and vitriol to the widespread mass production of unmistakable "bads" financed by the state, those that are far worse than some of the more impressive American engineering innovations in recent memory.

Elon Musk, libertarianism, Tesla, SpaceX

SpaceX can get there, but biology a probable Mars residence limiter
September 29, 2016 / Konrad Graf
SpaceX chief Elon Musk laid out a long-term vision for regular interplanetary transport and colonization in a 27 September presentation at the International Astronautical Congress. Details and vision alike were further steps along the path SpaceX has been pursuing for years, as it repeatedly counters naysayers by taking up the so-called impossible—and getting it done.
Yet while Musk concentrated on engineering, propulsion, efficiency, and finance, the toughest limiters on long-term Mars habitation may well turn out to be biological. Could life evolved on Earth, especially more complex organisms such as ourselves, thrive there indefinitely and across generations?
Musk's aim is to make humanity a multiplanetary species. He envisions a city of a million people on Mars that could become "self-sustaining." In other words, if Earth becomes uninhabitable, humanity would have a second home, and avoid extinction.
Most of the technical issues with Mars habitation can be addressed with technical means. Radiation can be shielded against. Water, air, and regulated temperatures can be produced, and chemical plants such as for ship propellant can be built. Psychological and other factors in long-term, small-scale hab confinement have already been under study both in space and in remote desert sims.
However, the harshest sticking point for a colonization plan could be something that Musk mentioned, but characterized only as a source of fun—38% Earth gravity on Mars. He presented images of jumping high and lifting heavy things with ease.
The possible problems would only appear, as they so often do, over the longer term. Research on the health effects of low gravity has already begun to suggest a quite unfavorable pattern. Much of this research as been done in zero g, but long-term exposure to 38% Earth gravity—Mars g—could well produce many similar effects along the same spectrum, just more slowly.
Zero g has been found to produce not only the expected muscle atrophy in astronauts, but a host of other health issues, which isometrics and exercise bikes can only partially limit. Research on both astronauts and lab animals point to falling bone mineral density and circulatory issues, including impaired heart health.
Limited research to date thus already suggests negative effects on three major physical systems. Yet muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems are hardly footnotes to transporting brains; they are most of what a complex organism consists. Moreover, there is no reason to expect nervous and reproductive systems to get free passes either, especially over years and decades.
Studies of zero-g animal embryonic development raise even greater concerns for long-term Mars colonization. Reproduction among spacefaring rodents has gone quite badly. Experiments with mice on a Space Shuttle mission resulted in normal embryos for the earthside controls and no growing embryos in zero g. Rat groups sent into orbit produced some weightless pregnancies, but with no resulting births. The pregnancies spontaneously terminated—all of them.
Evolutionary and developmental processes could always assume 1g
Simple organisms such as bacteria are the least likely to be bothered by gravity changes. The more complex the developmental process, however, the more likely that aspects of this process will be fine-tuned to happen in 1g. That said, Mars g could well be better for development than zero g because it would at least supply developmental processes with some vertical orientation, an up and a down, albeit with a much weaker signal.
The plans encoded in DNA for growing an organism are completely unlike engineering plans. They are decentralized developmental instructions. Each cell responds to its immediate environment. It takes cues from the type of cell it has become, from the types of cells around it, and from the specific chemistry and hormones in its blood supply. The so-far unquestioned constant has been that all earthly life has evolved in 1g (with very tiny variations) and every embryonic developmental process has evolved to take place in this 1g.
What about adaptation? As powerful a force as evolution by natural selection is, it tends to require extremely long time scales, on the order of thousands and more generations, especially for larger-scale adaptations. Too great a change—or an entirely unprecedented type of change—and a species will simply not make it.
Adaptations to something so pervasive and otherwise constant as gravity would have to proceed in steps. If a hypothetical planet's gravity were to (somehow) shift to 38% of its former level, but do so over several million years or more, then life there would have a decent chance of adapting because any given generation would only be subject to minute changes. However, by the time gravity reached 95% of its former level, organisms then would already tend to be optimally adapted to that new 95% level. Checking in again a thousand generations later, organisms would tend to be well adapted to the newly current 90% gravity, and so on as gravity crept down. In contrast, evolution copes far less well with sudden large jumps, which tend to be associated with mass extinctions.
Temperature variation is a variable to which earthly life is widely adapted, both across species and to a lesser degree within each organism. Temperature has changed remarkably and continuously throughout Earth's 4.5 billion year history and it also varies starkly with season and geography. Temperature adaptation therefore has a vast range of evolutionary precedent. Atmospheric composition, pressure, and radiation levels have also changed back and forth over geologic history.
What earthly life has never had to do, not even once, is what a Mars relocation would ask of it. Low g is something that evolution has had no opportunity to tackle. One of the few rough constants throughout the 3 billion or more years of earthly life has been 1g.
This still does not make some degree of individual gravity adaptation impossible now, but it does suggest that this could be a very serious issue for colonization and a potential deal-breaker for both indefinite stays on Mars and natural reproduction of future generations there.
The probably need for artificial gravity and how to produce it
For long-term extra-terrestrial colonization, artificial structures capable of producing artificial gravity that approximate 1g seem more promising. One concept involves large cylindrical spacecraft on axial rotations. The interior surface of the cylinder can be built to a size and given a rotation to approximate 1g over a large habitable interior surface area. That would be another huge engineering challenge. Yet SpaceX's work in interplanetary transport, along with advancements in asteroid mining, would help lead to a future in which this too could become more feasible.
Given the grave potential health and reproductive risks of long-term exposure to zero g and/or Mars g for Earth-evolved organisms, those interested in space colonization ought to assign a high priority, alongside ongoing engineering work, to low- and zero-g health research. Critical for colonization are three research areas: effects of Mars g on the health of Earth-leavers, likely health of long-term Mars residents upon potential return to Earth, and effects of low and no g on embryonic and childhood development.
Getting people to Mars is an engineering challenge. Musk, SpaceX, and collaborators are up to the task and well on their way. But the length of time that hopeful new Martian arrivals can expect to live there, in what state of health, and with what likelihood of producing healthy offspring, are critical questions in need of serious research and consideration in relation to any developing colonization plans. Early animal and astronaut studies combined with an evolutionary perspective suggest that shorter-term Mars visits are likely to be far more feasible from a health perspective, that natural reproduction among colonists might well be out of the question, and that the development of spacecraft and stations with artificial gravity is likely to be a biological priority for any future long-term extra-terrestrial residents.
This provides a more realistic base scenario from which to refine the engineering details of an early Mars transport and habitation system. It may well be that 1g environments would have to be available at least part of the time to support health longer term. The most realistic approach to creating artificial gravity is a rotating habitat, but this could well prove easier to achieve in space than on a planet with gravitational and atmospheric resistance, albeit both much lower than Earth's.
At minimum, it should be clear that lab mice and rats ought to be the first serious colonists on Mars—and this for quite some time. Their mission: to live where no earthly creature has lived before. Godspeed to those pioneering rodents; I suspect they'll need it.

Short story collection: AND THE HOUSE LIGHTS DIM
January 17, 2018 Tim Major	Leave a comment
Luna Press have released some more details about my first collection of short stories, which will be published in 2019 as part of the 'Harvester' series. It's called AND THE HOUSE LIGHTS DIM and features strange stories about houses, homes and family.
Here's my statement about the collection in full:
AND THE HOUSE LIGHTS DIM is my first collection of short stories, which were written over a three-year period. They're pretty diverse, spanning weird fiction, horror and SF – but I confess that when I wrote them they seemed more diverse than they really are. It was only recently that I realised just how prevalent particular themes have been in my writing: houses, homes and family.
Perhaps it's no surprise. The earliest of the stories was written when my wife was pregnant with our first child; one of the novellas was written in a mad hurry in the weeks before his birth; nowadays I write in a fog of fatigue due to my second child's sleepless nights. I think about family constantly and as a freelance editor I'm trapped in my home for the greater part of every day.
In this collection are stories about a sentient house overprotective of its new occupants, a supernatural Greenland shark that attacks a family via sound, a married couple alone on a lengthy space flight, two young girls who live in isolation and in fear of the world beyond their walls, a camping trip that turns a family feral, a post-apocalyptic Center Parcs, a man who has defragmented his mind and another who splices a rival's brain patterns onto his own.
Most of the stories have been published in various places, including Interzone, Not One of Us, The Literary Hatchet and anthologies published by Fox Spirit, Jurassic London and Hic Dragones. 'Carus & Mitch' was previously published as a standalone novella by Omnium Gatherum and was shortlisted for a This Is Horror Award in 2015. People have been very nice about it: Lynda Rucker said it was a 'compelling, unconventional page-turner… blending a John Wyndham-esque melancholy with a dose of existential despair'. Adam Roberts called it 'punchy and scary and tense and genuinely moving' and James Everington said it was 'an intimate, original, and character-driven take on the post-apocalyptic genre', all of which made me feel awfully proud.

Home Analysis Tactical Theory: Creating overloads with a roaming playmaker
Tactical Theory: Creating overloads with a roaming playmaker
Creating overloads is one of the clear tactics that managers such as Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool use when in attack and attacking transitions.
An overload is a situation in which a team will have more players than usual in a certain area of the pitch. This leads to either a superiority in numbers in that area which the attacking side can exploit or space being made in other areas by opposition players who also move into this area.
There are multiple different ways of how to create an overload, and one of them is through the use of a roaming playmaker. This tactical analysis will look at how a side can create overloads with a roaming playmaker and it will explain, using tactical theory, how these situations can be taken advantage of by the attacking team.
A roaming playmaker
A 'playmaker' is a player who will control the attacking flow of a team's transition and attack, often operating in front of the midfield in the 'number 10 role'. They need to have good dribbling, creativity, technical ability and passing at the very least.
A 'roaming playmaker' is what you think it is, a player who has the responsibility to control the attacking flow of a team's transition and attack but they have the licence to move freely around the pitch in attacking phases and transitions. These players need to have great awareness of the areas on the pitch where they can help their team most; Their movement can create overloads and that's what we will be looking at in this analysis.
This tactical analysis will use Bruno Fernandes and Eden Hazard as examples of roaming playmakers. The Portuguese midfielder has been operating as one for Manchester United, while the Belgian operated as one during his time with Chelsea in the Premier League.
Creating overloads in wide areas
The wide spaces on the pitch are usually the best areas to create overloads. This is because it is much harder for the defensive side to commit the same amount of players into wide areas as the overloading team as they would then open to be punished centrally, which is more dangerous for many teams in defence or defensive transition.
This is why some teams allow the opposition to create a wide overload. The below image shows a standard situation with two wingers and two full-backs on each flank.
With a roaming playmaker operating as the red number 10, they have the licence to drift into wide areas to create a numerical overload. This is shown below.
With the attacking team now having a numerical overload on the left-side (3v2), they have the ability to bypass the opposition in multiple different ways.
If there is no movement towards the roaming playmaker, he can receive the pass, turn and drive inside. He then opens the pitch up and has multiple options while operating in the half-space as shown below.
Here is an in-game example, where Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes creates the 3v2 situation, receives the ball and plays a cross into the opposition area.
Another option when having a wide overload is taking on the opposition on the flank with either a third-man run or a one-two.
Both of these can be viable options to bypass the wide defenders and create a crossing or passing opportunity. Examples of both situations are shown below.
Here is an in-game example, where again Fernandes creates the 3v2 situation and is able to play a one-two with Luke Shaw, who then can attempt a cross.
Sometimes the roaming playmaker will be tracked by an opposition midfielder, creating a 3v3 situation in the wide area and no numerical advantage for the attacking side.
Yet, this subsequently leads to space in the middle being created and making a pass into this area for an advancing midfielder possible as shown below.
Here is an in-game example, with Fernandes again, where his movement is followed by an opposition so that there is no numerical overload and it is a 3v3 in the wide area.
Yet, this leaves Fred and particularly Scott McTominay is tons of space in the middle.
Creating overloads in deeper progression
Sometimes progression of the ball can be difficult – against a 4-4-2 the opposition can have both strikers blocking the passing lanes to the centre midfielders as shown below.
The red number 10 (the roaming playmaker) can drift into deeper positions to create a 3v2 with his defensive pivot against the opposition strikers, this is shown below.
Now with the numerical overload in the deeper area, the centre back will have the number 10 to play to or if the strikers aim to block his passing route; it will open up for one of the other centre-midfielders as shown below.
One of the deeper midfielders of the opposition side could potentially track the number 10's movement to create a 3v3 in the area, however, this would leave an area for either the winger or striker to drop into and a longer passing option to be available further up the pitch as shown below.
Here is an example of a deep progression which was helped by the roaming playmaker, Fernandes. He drops in deeper so that there is a 3v2 centrally.
This, in turn, causes two things to occur. The opposition 26 who is playing in a midfield role for the opponents steps up to take away the overload but this opens up space behind for United to exploit.
Nemanja Matić's marker also becomes wary of the initial overload from Fernandes and is unsure whether to keep marking Matić or to try and follow Fernandes, allowing the passing lane to Matić to open up and he is allowed to turn.
Once Matić receives the pass, he has a clear option to pass to Odion Ighalo's feet due to the opposition midfielder leaving his initial position to follow Fernandes into the area of overload.
The overload in the deep area from Fernandes, the roaming playmaker, is ultimately what allowed United to bypass the opposition and progress the ball from deep in this situation.
Creating overloads in the midfield
Often the midfield battles are the most important in winning a football match. The reason many teams deploy a midfield three is due to the fact they want superiority in the middle of the pitch. Having an overload in the middle can become crucial in games, but is harder to implement than a wide overload.
Here is a typical shape where both teams are operating with a three-man midfield, with the red team in possession of the ball.
In this example, the red number 11 will be operating as a roaming playmaker. A movement into the middle by the 11 can create a midfield diamond and overload like the one below.
Creating the midfield overload allows the side to bypass the opposition in different ways. The holding midfielder can play through to the top of the diamond and then the roaming playmaker can either play to a third man runner or turn and run at the opposition himself, both examples are shown below.
Here is an in-game example where Hazard is operating as the roaming playmaker for Chelsea and moves into midfield to create the diamond and overload.
He then plays the pass to Ruben Loftus-Cheek who is making the third man run.
Like the other two overloads, creating one in the midfield can lead to an opposition player following the roaming playmaker to stop the overload, but again, like the other overloads that have been already shown, this creates spaces in other areas for teammates to exploit.
The main area to exploit would be the wide area. An attacking full-back can take advantage of the wide space that would be created by either the opposition full-back or centre-back following the roaming playmaker, this is shown below.
Here is an in-game example where Hazard is followed by the centre-back and the full-back has to tuck in to cover, leaving space for Emerson to receive the ball in the wide area and attack the open space.
To conclude this tactical analysis, we can see that overloads are a clear way for teams to progress the ball and get into dangerous areas. Using a roaming playmaker is certainly a viable way to create overloads in different areas of the pitch.
This analysis has also shown that the movement of the roaming playmaker to create overloads can lead to spaces in other areas being created and exploited.

Q: Delete files using java In my java application, I'm using FilenameFilter to get zip files in given directory. My directory structure is looks like below.
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir1
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir2
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir3
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir4

zip files are in dir folders. I'm giving only D\\:\\MyFiles\\data to my program and it find folders start with dir using FilenameFilter and then find files ends with zip on dir folders.
Inside a for loop I'm creating new File objects for each zip files and call delete() to delete them, but they aren't deleted.
I have printed file path using getPath() method; output is looks like below.
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir1\a.zip
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir1\b.zip
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir2\b1.zip
D\:\MyFiles\data\dir3\d.zip

Then I manually created a File object as File f = new File("D/:/MyFiles/data/dir1/a.zip") and try to delete. It succeeded.
How can I delete files? How can I give the correct path?
UPDATES
This is the code what I'm using:
// this contains folders start with 'dir' in 'D:\MyFiles\data\'
    Vector<String> dirList = utl.identifyDir(conf);

File dir;
for (int i = 0; i < dirList.size(); i++) {

// in my properties file ITEM_FOLDER is written as ITEM_FOLDER=D\:\\MyFiles\\data
//  LOG.fine(conf.readConfig(Configuration.ITEM_FOLDER)); returns D:\MyFiles\data

    dir = new File(conf.readConfig(Configuration.ITEM_FOLDER)
            + File.separator + dirList.get(i));

    // this contains all the files ends with 'zip' in 'dir' folders in 'D:\MyFiles\data\'
    Vector<String> zipFiles = utl.identifyZipFiles(dir);

    for (int x = 0; x < zipFiles.size(); x++) {

        /* delete */

        File sourcePath = new File(
                conf.readConfig(Configuration.ITEM_FOLDER)
                        + File.separator + dirList.get(i)
                        + File.separator + zipFiles.get(x));

            boolean sp = sourcePath.delete();

            LOG.fine("sourcePath : " + sourcePath.getPath() + " : "
                    + sp);

                // one of LOG prints is D:\MyFiles\data\dir3\d.zip : false

    }
}

A: After reading your update, I think there are 2 possible things going on here.

*

*You've still got something open in your application. You don't happen to use a FileInputStream or anything?

*Another process is keeping the .zip busy. Did you open that file? Try closing the explorer window or something like that.
EDIT: A checklist from an other user:

*

*Check that you've got the path correct, e.g. what does file.exists() return?

*Check that you've got permission to delete the file as the user running your application

*Check that you haven't got an open handle to the file within your code (e.g. have you just read from it and not closed the input stream?)

*Check that you don't have the file opened in a desktop app

A: When you create a new File-object to test, something is different then when you use getPath. Notice how all the slashes in the pathname are \ instead of /.


The manner of a loss matters more than the loss itself. Last year, John Molina, Jr. elevated his reputation after losing to feared puncher Lucas Matthysse, knocking down Matthysse twice before being knocked out himself. Tonight, he tainted the brand that is Premier Boxing Champions, losing unanimously (120-108, 120-108, 118-110) in a performance so poor that there will be little demand for future appearances by Molina on network television.
Against Matthysse, he was determined; against Adrien Broner, intimidated. Remarkably, Broner doubled Molina's punch output, 502 versus 249 total punches thrown respectively, and Broner has always been regarded as inactive. The majority of punches thrown by Broner were jabs and left hooks, with occasional right hands. Molina christened himself the "come forward brawler" facing a pure boxer in Broner, yet it was Broner's hand speed that dismayed Molina to the extent that a flicker of the hands from Broner saw Molina treading backwards with concern.
Though Broner is not known as a great counter puncher, his hand speed probably made Molina weary of counters given his own lack of speed and reflexes. Thus, Molina relied solely on his looping overhand right, which he threw widely and inaccurately. By failing to use his jab, Molina's right hand was not only predictable, he never established proper distance for it to have great effect even if it landed.
Despite the fact that Broner walked towards Molina the entire fight, Molina claimed in his post-fight interview that Broner ran too much and was unwilling to stand and fight.
Al Haymon should be concerned. Broner-Molina was not entertaining or of high quality. If Broner is inactive, Molina's lack of activity constitutes loitering for the duration of twelve rounds. The longevity of Premier Boxing Champions depends on how quickly Haymon can sign new fighters and make them stars, as well as how long his established fighters remain viable commodities and attract demand. After this performance, any future bouts involving Molina has a reduced demand.
Reviewing Adrian Broner's dominant win over Molina.


Ask anyone involved in the creative process what the most difficult part of their job is and they will tell you "content." Content is information, and it comes in many forms, but it often starts simply as text on paper - and a great deal of the time the client does not have it.
At MickMedia we confront this issue every day. If there is a delay in a project it is invariably because we are waiting for content from the client. The reality is, most clients are not equipped to produce their own content. They are not writers, they are business people. And that's where we come in.
It is not uncommon for us to begin a project with nothing more than the expression of a desire from our client. From there, we will begin the process of building. It may involve research, from extracting information from management, to talking to subject matter experts, or doing our own study in the subject.
The process can have a beneficial side effect: the information developed often uncovers issues relevant to the client's business. At times, it can result in changes in market assumptions, planning, and operations.

By sheer coincidence, I was tweeting about Gramercy Park, a private park in NYC, and then Gothamist posted this very enlightening and well researched piece about Gramercy Park. Now the Mayor is talking about revisiting this whole idea of a gated park for the affluent residents of that neighborhood alone!
What I tweeted about was the fact that I've been passing by this beautiful park for decades now, and it's almost always completely empty. It's such a waste, and just seems wrong that it can be locked up and unused like this.
I wonder what the rationale is for making it private? It does seem like a waste to not be open for public use. However, the birds and the bees probably enjoy having it to themselves. And it's good for the air we breathe….. Keeps landscapers in business ….. So I guess I would love walking by it and seeing its peacefulness. It beats seeing concrete and a 7-Eleven there.
Yay! and Wah-Hoo! I loved reading about Damnation Island in Sunday's NYT Book Review!
Rebecca, now you've got me worrying about the birds and the bees, and what they might lose if we open it up!
Living in Minnesota with its 10,000 lakes, 78 state parks and recreation areas, as well as many protected forests and preserves, it is difficult for me to imagine how rare and precious natural park-lands in the New York City area are. One would think that these publicly-owned park-lands would be open to all and well taken care of.
Most are! This is an exception and I think it's wrong.

Donald Earl Reed
April 16, 1954 - July 31, 2020
Donald Earl Reed,66 years young, transcended on July, 31, 2020 with his family and loving companion and caregiver, Kenya Lindsey by his side in Ypsilanti, MI where he resided as a long time resident. Donald Earl Reed, affectionately known as Don and Don Juan, was born to Dorothy Mae (Harris) Joplin and Charlie Wysinger Jr. in Detroit, MI on April 16, 1954. He and his brother Tommy Reed were fortunate to be raised by their loving grandparents, Ruby Dell and David (Slim) Harris. Donald attended Lincoln Consolidated Schools throughout his childhood until he became a young man and directly after high school he gained employment at Ford Motor Company entering into the workforce at a very early age. He was the third child born to his mother and has fourteen siblings (David Reed, Dyricia (Reed) Burrell, Tommy Reed, Danetta Joplin, Yvonne Joplin, Grady Joplin (deceased), Fay Joplin, Bernice Joplin, Dwayne Hudson, Lranda Gail Forrester, Diane Adams (deceased), Charles Dion Wysinger, Charlie Wysinger III (CJ), and Evelyn Jeanette Wysinger). As a child he was quiet, reserved and unassuming however, on the football field, basketball court or track he was a fierce and treacherous competitor and was driven to win at whatever he was engaged in. He truly excelled in football which was highlighted by several 200 yard games as a running back. He had a unique and exceptional skill in woodworking and carpentry. He was a natural at self-employment after retiring from Ford Motor Company. He was a pillar of the local community and was an active member among local businessmen. He maintained a personal office at a local restaurant, "The world renowned and famous Lucas Family Dining Restaurant". Donald was a very loving and caring father to nine children (Six Beautiful and Intelligent Daughters and Three Very handsome and Very,Very Large Sons) Tameka Lewis, Dr. Neiunna L. Reed-Jones, Donnette Holton, Ladonna Lewis, Shadonna Lewis, Maryetta Gardette, John Wesley Lewis, Brian Dilmar and Antuan Reed. He was the coolest, most loving and understanding grandfather to over 16 Grandchildren (Granddaughters and Grandsons). Donald enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved having them over for sleepovers, attended many school events, sporting events, birthdays, and helped care for them before and after school. In addition, Donald was a father to any child that entered his domain, he loved children. Donald worked at Ford Motor Company mainly as a Hi-Low driver and was extremely diligent, working various jobs during his tenure and worked anywhere he was needed throughout the plant. He retired after 32 years of service. Following his retirement, he worked as a successful owner of a Moving and Recycling Service. Donald was a faithful church member of Grace Fellowship Church. He prided himself in having the most family members attend church with him for Family and Friends Day. Most importantly, Donald was very passionate about his volunteer work and worked tirelessly within the food pantry every month under the leadership of Pastor Powell. He also assisted with lawn care and was a helping hand to the church as necessary. Donald will always be remembered as a loving helpful man with a smile and laugh that brightened the darkest rooms.
