Dynamo defeated Zorya and climbed to second place in the Premier League
In the main duel for second place between "Dynamo" and "Dawn" turned out to be stronger Kiev. They first conceded a goal on 2 minutes. But before the break, scored three times. And won. Now "Dynamo" ahead of "Dawn" on two points.
Given that the Dynamo in the next round will play against "Kolos", and "Dawn" have to make "Gum", the chances for the silver medal more in Kiev.
Match "Agribusiness "Meany" Ivanova beat after the game
After the match between the leaders of the first League "Agribusiness" – "Minay" beat referee Yuri Ivanov. According to journalists, was beaten by the referee directly to the stadium in the jury room. After this he went to the police to take a beating.
In this match the referee showed eight yellow cards to players of "Agribusiness". A "Meany" won, scoring two goals at the end of the meeting. The second goal the visitors scored from the penalty spot.
Yuri Ivanov wrote a statement to the police on the President "agribusiness" Oleg Sabotage. According to Ivanov, Sobocki after the match caused him injury. Ivanov asks to bring Sabotage to criminal liability.
Lomachenko can take away the title of world champion
At stake is the fight between Vasyl Lomachenko and Teofilo Lopez will be the title of absolute world champion in the lightweight division. Lopez will put on the line IBF belt, and Ukrainian – the WBC, WBA and WBO. However, the title of world champion under version WBC remains in question.
The reason is that last year the WBC did Lomachenko franchise champion and he can't lose this title. Teofilo Lopez, Sr., father Lopez, said that his son in case of victory over Lomachenko will get the WBC belt.
Lopez Sr. says that in case of a victory over Lomachenko his son will unite all four belts in one night, IBF, WBC, WBA and WBO.

Sheryl Underwood Shares Her Thoughts On The Democratic Debate
By Breanna Chianne Jun 27, 2019
You know the Democratic debate couldn't go unanalyzed by our very own, Sheryl Underwood.
Ms. Underwood took full advantage of her moment on The Steve Harvey Morning Show to tell us what she thought about last night's (June 26th) political parlay. An important point was made to encourage everyone to go out and vote in 2020 due to the "non-voter" being the largest voting block.
Now, how did Sheryl feel about the Democratic hopefuls? Well for one, The Real talk show host wasn't feeling the favoritism towards Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. She also wished she heard more from Maryland Congressman John Delaney. One person who did perk her ears and catch her eye was former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, who gave her a "presidential vibe."
Listen for Sheryl's latest word and see what Washington state's, Jay Inslee said that earned him the "biggest laugh of the night."
Be sure to tune into the second part of the debate tonight. Candidates Joe Biden, Michael Bennet, Pete Buttigieg, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell, Marianne Williamson, and Andrew Yang will be squaring off.
The Official website of Steve Harvey Morning Show. On-air from 6am EST to 10pm EST. If you missed it on the radio, check out podcasts of the full show daily.

Distal hypospadias repair without stents: is it better?
H Buson, D Smiley, Y Reinberg, R Gonzalez
Journal of Urology 1994, 151 (4): 1059-60
We previously reported the results of the meatal based flap urethroplasty (Mathieu) for distal hypospadias repair. Of 49 patients in whom stents were left indwelling for 2 to 5 days meatal stenosis developed in 1 and there were no fistulas. In view of these good results and to decrease postoperative discomfort from bladder spasms, we performed 37 consecutive meatal based flap repairs without stents. Seven patients (19%) had urinary retention requiring catheterization several hours after surgery, of whom 3 had had a caudal block and 4 a penile block with 0.25% bupivacaine for postoperative pain control. In 5 patients (14%) a urethrocutaneous fistula developed, which required surgical repair. Of the patients with a fistula 2 were also among those who presented with urinary retention and 1 had concomitant meatal stenosis. One child had meatal stenosis only, requiring a meatoplasty after failed dilations. Subsequently, of another 16 children who underwent the Mathieu repair with stents a urethrocutaneous fistula and meatal stenosis developed in 1 (6.2%) and 15 patients had no complications. Overall of 65 patients in whom a stent was used 3 (4.6%) had complications, in contrast with a complication rate of 18.9% in the unstented group, representing a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The stent obviates urinary retention, which was unrelated to the type of anesthetic block used, and minimizes the incidence of fistula and stenosis. We conclude that the use of a multiperforated silicone urethral stent is advantageous for the outcome of this operation.

Reveal the power of enzyme kinetics by illustrating their function through the real-world application of biofuel production. This kit allows students to measure the enzymatic activity of cellobiase (part of the cellulase family) and identify the optimal conditions for the enzyme. The reaction of cellobiase breaking down cellobiose is important in the process of making cellulosic ethanol, which is an efficient, more sustainable fuel to replace petroleum. Students test and calculate the conversion rate of a sugar substrate (p–nitrophenyl glucopyranoside) to p–nitrophenol and glucose in the presence or absence of cellobiase. One complete 45-minute core activity plus five additional enrichment activities enable instructors to tailor coursework across several disciplines at a variety of levels.

Squad Begins Postseason Play on Wednesday
By Katie Anderson
The Maroons learned just yesterday that they would be taking the field at least one more time this season, as they were selected to play at the NCAA DIII Softball Championship.
The squad received an at-large bid to the 62-team field. The selection is just Chicago's 10th in history. All of its prior selections have occurred after 2000. The last time the South Siders were selected was in 2014, when they were eliminated after two disappointing losses to Thomas Moore and UW–Whitewater.
Third-year third baseman Maggie O'Hara, who was a member of the 2014 team, is hopeful about this opportunity to improve upon the 2014 performance. "Making regionals is such a huge accomplishment for us," she said. "Everything we've done this entire year has gotten us to this place. But getting to regionals isn't enough, especially not for us upperclassmen who have been there before. We're all incredibly eager to improve upon a disappointing regionals berth in 2014."
O'Hara also commented on the importance of the tournament for the squad's four fourth-years: Jordan Poole, Devan Parkison, Kathleen Kohm, and Kristin Lopez. She said, "We are led by an amazing senior class, who've excelled at every step of the way. There's no better class in terms of quantifiable talent and leadership to lead us to a successful, and hopefully very long post season."
The squad will leave Wednesday afternoon for Trine University, and will then face off against Wheaton College on Thursday in the regional round of the tournament. Regionals are played in a double elimination format, and the champion of the four teams will advance to super-regionals the following week.
Chicago goes into the game confident, having played Wheaton at the end of April. In that match up, they picked up two 1–0 victories over the Thunder.
"We'll play Wheaton as our first game in regionals, who we recently swept in two 1–0 contests, one of which featured a no hitter by Jordan Poole," O'Hara said. "The team couldn't be more excited at the opportunity to face their ace for the third game; this time I think we'll be ready to clobber her."
O'Hara is referring to Wheaton's star pitcher, Katie Thornton. Thornton represented the Thunder on the mound for both games of the doubleheader earlier this season. Thornton was outperformed though, as Chicago's Poole threw a no hitter while Thornton allowed six hits and one run. In the second, Thornton allowed only two hits, but the Maroons were efficient in converting to secure the lone run of the game.
O'Hara is confident about her team's ability to secure a third win against Wheaton. "Our team has been firing on all cylinders all season, our pitching staff has been amazing, our bats explosive, and our defense impeccable. I'm incredibly excited at our chances this weekend and for the rest of the post season to come!"
Chicago's first tournament game against Wheaton will start at noon at Trine University in Angola, IN.

Q: how to get a part from a string with regular expression in C# How do I get 'Name' value and 'Age' value?
Case1 Data:
aaa bbbb; Name=John Lewis; ccc ddd; Age=20;

Case2 Data:
AAA bbbb; Age=21;

My regular expression:
(?:Name=(?'name'[\w\b]+)\;)[\s\S]*Age=(?'age'\d+)\;?

But no way to get values(Name, Age).

A: Here is the regex you want.
(?<Key>\w+?)=(?<Value>(?:\w|\s)+);
This pattern captures key/value pairs into the named groups Key and Value.
This solution will fail to function correctly if a key name contains a space.
C# Usage
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Linq;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string input = @"aaa bbbb; Name=John Lewis; ccc ddd; Age=20;";
        string pattern = @"(?<Key>\w+?)=(?<Value>(?:\w|\s)+);";

        var matches = Regex.Matches(input, pattern);
        foreach (var match in matches.OfType<Match>())
        {
            string key = match.Groups["Key"].Value;
            string value = match.Groups["Value"].Value;
            Console.WriteLine(key + ": " + value);
        }
    }
}

Output
Name: John Lewis
Age: 20

A: Case 1: Only Name is optional
A regex for your case should account for an optional Name field.
(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?\bAge=(?<Age>\d+)
^^^                            ^^

See the regex demo
If Name and Age data are on separate lines, use the regex with RegexOptions.Singleline flag.
Details:

*

*(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)? - an optional string of subpatterns

*

*\bName= - a whole word "Name" + =

*(?<Name>[^;]+) - Group "Name" capturing 1+ chars other than ;

*.*? - any 0+ chars (other than newline if (?s) is not used)

*; - a semi-colon

*\s+ - 1 or more whitespaces

*\bAge=  - whole word Age + =

*(?<Age>\d+)  - Capturing group "Age" matching 1+ digits.

C# demo:
var strs = new[] { "aaa bbbb; Name=John Lewis; ccc ddd; Age=20;", "AAA bbbb; Age=21;" };
var pattern = @"(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?\bAge=(?<Age>\d+)";
foreach (var str in strs)
{
    var result = Regex.Match(str, pattern);
    if (result.Success)
        Console.WriteLine("Name: \"{0}\", Age: \"{1}\"", result.Groups["Name"].Value, result.Groups["Age"].Value);
}
// => Name: "John Lewis", Age: "20"
//    Name: "", Age: "21"

Case 2: Both Name and Age are optional
Use optional groups for both fields:
(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?(?:\bAge=(?<Age>\d+))?
^^^                            ^^^^^                 ^^

See this C# demo
var strs = new[] { "aaa bbbb; Name=John Lewis; ccc ddd; Age=20;", "AAA bbbb; Age=21;", "Irrelevant", "My Name=Wiktor; no more data" };
var pattern = @"(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?(?:\bAge=(?<Age>\d+))?";
foreach (var str in strs)
{
    var results = Regex.Matches(str, pattern)
        .Cast<Match>()
        .Where(m => m.Groups["Name"].Success || m.Groups["Age"].Success)
        .Select(p => new {key=p.Groups["Name"].Value, val=p.Groups["Age"].Value} )
        .ToList();
    foreach (var r in results)
        Console.WriteLine("Name: \"{0}\", Age: \"{1}\"", r.key, r.val);
}

Else, if you want to use a more regex engine-friendly pattern, use an alternation with 2 branches where either of the two patterns are obligatory
(so as to avoid empty matches handling):
var strs = new[] { "aaa bbbb; Name=John Lewis; ccc ddd; Age=20;", "AAA bbbb; Age=21;", "Irrelevant", "My Name=Wiktor; no more data" };
var pattern = @"(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?\bAge=(?<Age>\d+)|\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+)(?:.*?;\s+\bAge=(?<Age>\d+))?";
foreach (var str in strs)
{
    var result = Regex.Match(str, pattern);
    if (result.Success)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Name: \"{0}\", Age: \"{1}\"", result.Groups["Name"].Value, result.Groups["Age"].Value);
    }
}

See this  C# demo
The (?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?\bAge=(?<Age>\d+)|\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+)(?:.*?;\s+\bAge=(?<Age>\d+))? has 2 branches:

*

*(?:\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+).*?;\s+)?\bAge=(?<Age>\d+) - the Name part is optional, Age is compulsory

*| - or

*\bName=(?<Name>[^;]+)(?:.*?;\s+\bAge=(?<Age>\d+))? -  the Age part is optional, Name is compulsory

A: ...
.*?(?:Name=(?'name'[^;]*);)*.*?(?:Age=(?'age'\d*);)*

A: (?'name'\w+)[=]{1}(?'value'[\w ]+)

This Regex will give you name and value groups. In name you'll have Name or Age and in value John Lewis or 20
You can see how it works here.

National Weather Service warns of widespread spring flooding
By Agri-Pulse Staff
© Copyright Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.
WASHINGTON, March 24 - With spring flooding already underway over portions of the U.S., NOAA forecasters are warning the worst is yet to come. Almost half the country – from the North Central U.S. through the Midwest and the Northeast – has an above-average risk of flooding over the next few weeks, according to the annual spring outlook released by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS).
Map Source: NOAA, National Weather Service, National Hydrologic Assessment
Davenport, Iowa is taking the flood warning seriously. With volunteers filling sandbags and city workers' vacation requests postponed until the flood threat ends in early April, Davenport is testing pumps, raising earth berms and preparing for what could be the city's worst flood since 1993.
The highest spring flood risk areas include the Red River of the North, which forms the state line between eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, the Milk River in eastern Montana, the James and Big Sioux Rivers in South Dakota, the Minnesota River, the upper Mississippi River basin from Minneapolis southward to St. Louis, and a portion of lower New York, eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. Many metropolitan areas have a greater than 95% chance of major flooding, including Davenport, Fargo, Grand Forks, St. Paul, Rock Island, Sioux Falls and Huron. Devils Lake in North Dakota has an 80% chance of reaching two feet above last year's record of 1452.1 feet.
"For the third consecutive year, the stage is set for potential widespread, record flooding in the North Central United States," said Jack Hayes, Ph.D., director of NOAA's National Weather Service. "We've been coordinating with federal and state partners and high risk communities since December to raise awareness and help them prepare. All the ingredients are in place for major flooding so this situation should be taken very seriously. We're asking citizens to stay informed and be prepared."
Warm temperatures in the forecast could cause much of the snowpack to melt across South Dakota and southern Minnesota, setting off moderate to major flooding in eastern South Dakota next week. Minor flooding could begin now on the Mississippi River and its tributaries over southeastern Minnesota and southwestern Wisconsin, leading to moderate to major flooding by early April.
In addition, a series of storm systems are forecast to move across the region during the next two weeks, which could bring additional snow or rain on top of the remaining snowpack. These systems may cause substantial runoff and the beginning of minor flooding in the southern headwater portion of the Red River of the North, eventually leading to major flooding sometime from the last week of March through early April.
The NWS report notes that the rate at which temperatures warm this spring, along with the impacts of any additional precipitation, will determine the magnitude, timing and extent of the flooding.
National Weather Service 10-year restructuring increases forecast accuracy
EPA: No evidence of 'widespread, systemic' impacts of fracking on drinking water
IRS chief warns of delays if Congress fails to act on tax extenders
National Weather Service models show this year's snowpack in the north-central U.S. contains a water content ranked among the highest of the last 60 years.
Other aspects of the U.S. spring outlook for April through June include:
Temperature: Odds favor above-average temperatures in much of the southern half of the U.S., and below-average temperatures from the Pacific Northwest to the northern plains.
Precipitation: Odds favor drier-than-average conditions from South Florida and along the Gulf Coast through Texas and into the Southwest.Wetter-than-average conditions are favored across parts of the northern plains.
Drought: From the Southwest, across the South and northward to the mid-Atlantic, drought has been spreading and deepening since the winter and is forecast to persist in spring. Wildfires will be an increasing threat, especially when humidity is low and when winds are high.
Heavy rainfall at any time can lead to river flooding, even in areas where overall river flood potential is considered below average. Find current hydrologic information specific to your area at: http://water.weather.gov.
Floods are the deadliest weather phenomena — claiming an average of 100 lives annually. Many of these deaths occur in automobiles and are preventable. If confronted with a water-covered road on foot or in an automobile, follow National Weather Service advice: "Turn Around, Don't Drown."

How about contributing to my next prose masterpiece by sending me (as you sent Burroughs) a bottle of SM pills, with a bill if that is feasible. Allen said I could knock off a daily chapter with 2 SM's and be done with a whole novel in a month.
Really serious about that, if you can manage it. I'm curious to know what would come out. As you know, in NY, there was no chance to write anything.
Your questionnaire required some modifications on my part, much like the questionnaires for taxpayers, So I explain some at the end.
It may interest you, Coach, to learn with horror that I now weigh 190! Ugh! I dont wanta be a Guard! I wanta be a scatback!
Oh ! Too late !

Interview with Andrea England
andrea england, contributor, interview
Enjoy another installment in an ongoing series of interviews with contributors to The 3288 Review.
Andrea England is the author of Inventory of a Field (Finishing Line Press, 2014) and Other Geographies (Creative Justice Press, 2017). Her poems have appeared in Fourteen Hills Review, Harper Palate, Hayden's Ferry Review and many others. She teaches at Western Michigan University and online for Southern New Hampshire University COCE.
3288 Review: What words of wisdom would you offer to writers still struggling to find their voice or platform?
Andrea England: I think that we as writers often struggle to find our voices, and that is a bit about us a collective whole, so I'm going to answer the last question first. For me, voice is different than platform. Voice is what naturally takes over when the poem (not the poet) begins to speak. Platform feels more like a niche. There are many niches we can seek out or push ourselves into, but when we do this (in my opinion) our voices become less authentic.
As to words of wisdom, beginning writers often tell me they are only reading the genre in which they write. This to me is one of the most prevalent and disastrous things I encounter as a teacher of writing. Each genre is a hybrid of the previous and the next. Each benefits all. Historically there have been times when a particular genre or style of writing was more popular—I'm with T.S. Eliot's, "Four Quartets" here, "time present and time past" (Burnt Norton, 1). If you haven't read Eliot, well…
3288 Review: Interesting point, regarding the difference between voice and platform. In your work, how do you back yourself out of the poem so the poem itself speaks? How is it possible for the creator to remove her fingerprint from her creation?
Andrea England: As with any work of art, poets leave traces of their DNA behind. In Lawrence Raab's new book, Why Don't We Say What We Mean: Essays Mostly About Poetry, Raab poses that in poetry, "the fictive immediately calls attention to form, the autobiographical is essentially shapeless." Voice is a trait that comes with practicing but occurs when the poem chooses its perimeters. The perimeters include line length, point of view, shape (whether real or imagined), revision, and the unconscious decision to make a pair of shoes purple because there is some intrinsic repetition going on in the poem that needs exploitation (here, conveyed by alliteration). I think the most difficult impetus to control as a poet is surprise. I can tell in my own work if I'm "trying" to surprise the reader, and this is no good. Denise Levertov calls this "easy spontaneity." A poem should be like the body, a continuously morphing animus.
3288 Review: What are you currently working on?
Andrea England: Like many other writers at this time in history, I'm an adjunct. Fortunately, I also have the wonderful privilege of being a Writing Specialist for WMU's Athletic and ED departments (these of course in addition to mothering daughters, hens, dogs and other such animals). This probably wasn't the answer you're looking for, but it's an honest one. Poetry-wise, I'm putting together a chapbook that examines the beginnings, middles and ends between two similar identities: those of daughters and lovers. I've always enjoyed exploring these two items in my work, but studying D.H. Lawrence during my PhD sparked the idea to explore them exclusively. I published my first chapbook Inventory of a Field in 2014 and am soon to have my second, Other Geographies, in hand in the next month or so.
3288 Review: Who are your three greatest influences as a writer?
Andrea England: My greatest influences as a writer change on the turn of a dime. My writing at the moment is heavily influenced by Haruki Murakami, Elizabeth Bishop, George Eliot, and Ada Limon. I know you asked for three, but I couldn't help myself. I've also got to mention my students here. Reading and giving feedback on their work informs my craft, my images—All of it, on a daily basis.
3288 Review: You mention Murakami, who also joins my influencers list. Which of his works spoke most strongly to you, and why?
Andrea England: It's almost impossible to narrow down a single Murakami influence, but let's see… After I finished A Wild Sheep Chase, I felt taken. Well, hadn't I been on a literal wild sheep chase? Indeed, I had. This isn't my "favorite" book of Murakami's, but what it does is epic in poetic proportion. The speaker is forced to go on a journey. He believes that he is being forced, anyway. Yet, the journey itself is one of self-exploration, exploration of external geographies and imagined constraints. Murakami's characters take on a momentum that like the best poems, traverse across subtle detail, music, and momentary truths, never quite achieving exactly what they thought or returning to exactly where they began.
3288 Review: Describe the best and the worst experiences you've had as an author. How have these situations shaped your growth as an author?
Andrea England: My worst experiences as a writer. Here it goes. AWP is a soap opera. It's the best bookshop in the world, but with it comes every memory, possibility of exile, friendship, and heartbreak to be had as a creative writer and human being. Other than that, I'd say being told that I was a finalist for a prize but disqualified because I submitted too many poems—The evidence that I should've read the submission guidelines a little closer.
3288 Review: Tell us more about AWP. More serious literary types migrate to AWP (or BEA, or, or, or) at least once in a career. Should they? Is AWP overrated, or a necessary rite of passage, or both? Or neither?
Andrea England: Regarding AWP, yes, I think it is a right of passage. As I've said before, it is truly the best and biggest bookstore in the world, and on the last day, books go cheap. However, AWP is a privilege. This is one of the angles I dislike about it. After you've booked a place to stay, paid for "city" eating and transportation, the cost equals most people's family vacation cost. Those who can afford or receive grants present, sell books, mingle with the "rich getting richer" and those who can't, don't. Don't get me wrong, I like getting my back patted and patting back, so I'm complicit in this. It's also true that many of us writers have a little anxiety—so imagine thousands of us together. Anxious yet? All that said, if you haven't gone once, go!
3288 Review: Tell us a bit more about who you are—what have you studied? What have you written? Any fun anecdotes that will help our readers better understand your perspective or motivation as a writer?
Andrea England: Who am I and what have I studied? I think I've answered those a bit in the other questions with some room to wiggle. I like wiggle room.

William Franklin "Red" Hamilton (August 11, 1883 – August 1, 1955) was an American sprinter who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

Hamilton was a member of the 1600 m medley relay team that won the gold medal. He ran the first leg of 200 meters and was followed by Nate Cartmell (200 m), John Taylor (400 m) and Mel Sheppard (800 m). Hamilton gave the team a six-yard lead over the nearest competitor, running a split time of 22.0 seconds. Hamilton also competed in the 100 m and the 200 m events. He won the first-round heat of the 100 m in a time of 11.2 seconds, but did not start the second round. In the 200 m, he was eliminated in the semifinal.

How level was my playing field?
It's no surprise. For small and medium-sized firms, going through the complete Magic Quadrant or Forrester Wave assessment cycle is always going to be a tense and nervy experience. But after the preparation, the effort, and the waiting, many are bound to end up disappointed.
Not everyone can be a Leader. Leadership status would be meaningless if too many companies shared that sought-after positioning in the upper right quadrant.
And, though there's room for more research to quantify just how much commercial difference a good assessment makes, we all know that it can change a company's fortunes in a matter of months.
So it's inevitable, in the aftermath of publication, that many vendors will be unhappy. And, at some stage, every one of them is going to wonder just how fair and objective the whole process has been.
There are a lot of issues to be unpicked there – and we'll come back to several of them in the next few months. But, for now, let's start with the most basic question of all.
Does the whole assessment process have a built-in bias against smaller companies?
Let's put it another way. Does being a small or medium-sized firm mean that you will always be pushed aside or trampled underfoot by the Oracles and SAPs, the IBMs and Microsofts, the HPs and the Salesforce.coms of this world, the big players that seem to take their places in the Leaders quadrant almost by right?
Well, there's no point sitting on the fence about this. The answer's yes, unless you take specific action to avoid it.
Let's be clear. We know the research and analysis industry inside out and backwards. Our first seven employees have a total of 80 years' Gartner experience between them. And we know how it all works.
There's no deliberate bias. There's no payola, pay-for-play, glad-handing, back-slapping trading of favors here. No bribery. No corruption. No you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours. It's all a lot subtler and more innocent than that.
It's more a question of who is there in the analyst's eyeline all the time. Who is seen at every conference? Whose product launches are unmissable in the trade press? Who makes the news with acquisitions and government contracts? Whose products, because they are known and recognized by everybody, provide the vocabulary and benchmarks for every discussion within your sector?
These are all factors that are best addressed with the application of vast marketing budgets, running into the tens of millions of dollars each year.
But there is one other, equally important factor, that is not so obvious to the outside world. These companies have almost constant interaction, at all sorts of levels, with the research and analysis organizations. And they employ dedicated teams of analyst relations specialists to make sure that keeps on happening.
You don't have to be Oracle to have your own analyst relations squad. Maybe three or four full-time staff, if they knew what they were doing, could deliver all the exposure you needed. But how many smaller firms can afford the fully-loaded costs of employing three or four extra people? What are we talking about? Maybe a half-million dollar budget line. Maybe a bit more.
If you have the luxury of this kind of dedicated team, with a decent budget for implementing the ideas that seem important, you can pretty well guarantee getting the right people from your company in front of the right analysts at the right time. If you don't have the money and resources to act like this, you're facing an uphill climb.
The fact is, the bias against smaller vendors is there, baked into the system. It's a huge, unintentional bias – and we've seen plenty of instances of conscientious Gartner and Forrester analysts deliberately working to counteract its effects. But that's not something you can rely on.
What you can do – and this is why The Skills Connection developed its unique MQ Tune-Up program – is make sure you have access to the skills and thinking that those costly inhouse analyst relations teams confer on the big players.
We can't level the playing field completely and put you toe-to-toe with SAP or Salesforce. But we can draw on our industry background to help you plan and prepare for your analyst assessments.
We can coach you and test your arguments, tell you in advance what evidence you're going to need, and help you fill in the questionnaires. We can roll up our sleeves, create winning slide decks, and help you develop demos that tell clear and memorable stories. We can give you access – on an affordable, part-time basis – to some of the shrewdest award-winning analyst brainpower the industry has seen.
If your company is destined to grow, maybe you can afford to wait until sheer scale puts you into a position to compete for the Leaders quadrant. If you're in a hurry, we can help to tip the odds in your favor right now, over the months leading up to the next MQ or Wave.
Are we on target? The last thing we want is everyone agreeing with what goes into this blog. After all, if you don't disagree with some of the points we've raised, we'll be forced to be more and more provocative, and who knows where that will end? So let us have your thoughts. Are we being unfair when we say there's a huge bias in the way assessments are done? Shoot us down and have your say.

Are Climate Damages Immeasurably Bad?
It is a paradox of climate economics: How can we know that a few degrees of global warming will be very bad for us, when we do not know how to measure how bad it will be? Our friend and environmental economist, Dr. Frank Ackerman, explores this topic in this week's blog post.

Have you ever had a client ask about augmented reality (AR)? Are you interested in AR, which is forecast to be a multibillion-dollar industry within a few years? In this course, Building an AR Experience with Unity and Vuforia, you'll learn how to create three unique AR projects, each enabling you to gain the necessary knowledge and confidence to produce AR apps independently. First, you'll learn the basics of the Vuforia AR software, and how to create an Android app featuring an animated haunted house and a pesky ghost. Next, you'll learn how to create an Android app that creates skeletons that will dance around a real 3D object. If your character walks behind this object, you'll learn how to occlude the parts of the augmented character that cross behind real objects. You'll also write a very simple C# script to lock shadows onto the skeletons to anchor them visually into the scene. Finally, you'll create a large-scale AR scene of a 12-foot monster made of particles. When you're finished with this course, you'll not only feel confident about creating augmented reality apps, but will also be prepared for the coming AR industry and business opportunities. Software required: Unity, Vuforia, and 3DS Max.

As many of you know TM and cally have been in competition over he past couple years especially in the driver industry. The main vocal point is the face of the driver. I have an idea that a company such as Titleist could adopt and make the golf world go nuts. Its called the spring face. The inside of this driver would be equipped with 3 springs. Horizontally placed behind the outside face of the driver. Upon impact the ball would compress against the face thus compressing the screws just enough that the kinetic energy coming back from the inside would propel the ball substantially further than a normal driver. Off center hits would be also compensated by the the screws for example say a ball was taken of the toe of the driver the only screws that would compress would be the end screw closet to the toe and occasionally the middle (depends how close to middle you strike). This would make the 3rd screw by the heel act as a weight and turn the face over almost like a d-type model of a driver would.
Sounds like something could break or get loose and make crazy noises. I think I would pass on that driver.
How do you compress a screw ?
Without USGA/R&A certifcation, drivers could be amazing. With COR limits, the face can only do so much. So the focus is on larger sweet spots and optimizing weight and balance to optimize club head speed. There are companies today that will mill a face thinner that will trampoline better but won't be conforming "for cheaters". There is a GC show for closet club designers to come up with a better driver.
USGA governs the speed of the face. This would be illegal.
Interesting idea there but I would rather make control the club face for moving the ball left to right and right to left. Seems the springs would hinder that ability for me personally. I'm sure temperature changes would also affect the spring and face reactions.
Maybe you should major in mechanical engineering and join the design team?
Cathi may be on to something there Nate. At least we'll have another friend at Titleist!!!
One of the reasons I like Titleist drivers is they are traditional compared to others. As great as they are and as much thought and technology goes into them they are still simple compared to other brands. I really don't care for clubs that are injected with foam, twisted faces, jail break bars, and / or sliding weights every which way. I think less is better, especially when it's already great.

The Muppets... Again! Goes Publicity Crazy
Yesterday was a major news day for the forthcoming Muppet feature film The Muppets... Again! Muppet fans were treated to three incredible new publicity stills, which you can check out in the highest available resolution below! Be sure to click on the pictures to see them in all their glory!
Entertainment Weekly exclusive first-look image
Same image with Director James Bobin replacing Sweetums
Human lead Ricky Gervais with Kermit and Miss Piggy
On any normal day, those three absolutely incredible images would be more than enough to satiate Muppet fans, but the powers that be weren't satisfied. The Walt Disney Company released an updated press release for the film, revealing some pretty awesome plot details which you can read about right here, right now!
Disney's "The Muppets…Again!" takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe's most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais, creator of "Derek" and the Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning series "The Office" and "Extras." The film stars Golden Globe-, Emmy- and SAG Award-winning actress and writer Tina Fey ("30 Rock," "Mean Girls," "Date Night") as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Emmy Award winner Ty Burrell (TV's "Modern Family") as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
Exciting, no? I love the idea of the doppelganger Kermit villain Constantine and can't wait to find out which Muppet performer will be bringing him to life. Also, who knew that Ricky Gervais would be playing the villain's sidekick? That's a major reveal as well!
But would you believe that there's still more?! Along with the awesome first-look image they debuted, Entertainment Weekly also has a fantastic interview with the one and only Kermit the Frog, which you should absolutely read right now. But if you don't feel like it, here are some of the major plot highlights:
Kermit on the plot of the movie: "I can actually tell you quite a lot because I have a press release in front of me, which makes it very easy! The idea of this film is that our gang is on this global tour, and we're selling out these grand theaters all over Europe—in Berlin, Madrid, London—but we sort of get into a little bit of trouble when we run across my doppelganger. He's the world's number one criminal, Constantine, and he happens to look an awful lot like me. I won't tell you any more than that, but let's just say mayhem ensues."
On whether he'll be playing himself and Constantine: "No. We talked about putting me in makeup and having me play both roles, but we decided Constantine needed to be a guy who could do a Russian accent. And, you know, I'm a pretty accomplished actor and all, but besides the Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island films, I've only really ever played myself. The great thing is, I have like 3,000 relatives back in the swamp, so it was quite easy to find a frog who could play Constantine."
On his human co-stars: "Ricky Gervais is kind of like a Muppet, if you think about it. He fits right in. He's about our size. I actually think when this film ends it's going to be hard to get rid of him. He keeps following me back to my hotel in London, which is very strange, but we're thrilled to have him. Then, of course, we have Tina Fey—and it's hard to beat Tina. I know her because I was lucky enough to get asked to do a little spot on one of the last episodes of 30 Rock. She's playing a feisty prison guard named Nadya, which should be fun. Then we have Ty Burrell, who's playing a French Interpol agent. But personally, I'm not going to be going to France for the French scenes. It's best if I don't go there. It's a frog thing."
But wait, there's more! After winning a Screen Actor's Guild Award for Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series this weekend, Tina Fey took the time to talk to the press and answer some questions about what she's doing next. Watch the video below to see the fantastic Tina confirm her involvement in The Muppets... Again!
And yet, there's more! Academy Award-nominated producer of The Muppets, Todd Lieberman, who is returning to produce The Muppets... Again! talked to MovieFantatic yesterday. He dished some fantastic and exciting details on the new film, saying "We're in our second week of shooting. It's gone amazingly well. It's an unbelievable amount of fun." But perhaps most notably, Lieberman revealed that there will be new songs as well as old, just like in The Muppets, saying "We got Bret McKenzie back to do the music! It has tons of new songs, and some old favorites." What old favorites do you think will be included? I'm hoping for "Movin' Right Along" or "Together Again." I'm excited to find out!
But wait there's still even more! Our friends over at ToughPigs.com posted a link to a radio interview that Ricky Gervais gave on the Christian O'Connel Breakfast Show which showcased once again how excited Ricky is about working with the Muppets. He gushes about working with Kermit (and how he's better than DeNiro), how much he adores Pepe (because, c'mon, who wouldn't?), and confirms that Academy Award-winning actor Christoph Waltz, who was once rumored for Ty Burrell's role in the movie, will be making a cameo! That means Christoph Waltz and Ray Liotta are our confirmed cameo stars so far! Extremely exciting and enjoyable stuff, so give it a listen!
Well, that's that! Tons of exciting updates on the upcoming The Muppets... Again!, which comes to theaters on March 21, 2014, in case you had forgotten. Now that the promotional ball is rolling, I sincerely hope it doesn't stoop anytime soon, because I've already got my popcorn ready.

I adore that picture of Piggy, the third one down, the one with Ricky Gervais and Kermit. It just warms my heart to see her; her puppet design is so much like the puppet used in The Great Muppet Caper! I wanna hug her!

PayPal sues CFPB, saying prepaid rule sows confusion
PayPal sued the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Wednesday to block a rule the peer-to-peer payment company argues would confuse customers and potentially deter them from opening accounts.
The "prepaid rule," which went into effect April 1 but has not been fully implemented by many financial services providers, requires that PayPal and Venmo customers be given a disclosure form the company says mistakenly leads people to believe PayPal charges a fee to access funds, make a purchase with a merchant, or send money to family and friends in the U.S.
If the rule slows PayPal's growth, it could disrupt one of the biggest disruptors in finance. Payment volume has increased 27% over the past year at PayPal, including a 64% jump at subsidiary Venmo.
At the root of the dispute is that the CFPB lumps digital wallets under the same umbrella as reloadable prepaid cards. "Unlike [general-purpose reloadable] cards, digital wallets are not purchased in brick and mortar stores and consumers are not charged fees to open, maintain or access the funds stored there," PayPal's suit said.
Scott Talbott, senior vice president for government relations at the Electronic Transactions Association, a payments industry trade group, criticized the prepaid rule, saying its "rigid" short form disclosure requirements does not account for product differentiation in the market.
"The rule is written as a one-size fit-all since you can only list the fees, but not with further explanation," he said, according to Bloomberg Law.
PayPal claims the rule will hamper its ability to expand its product set, to include ventures into credit.
"PayPal supports the mission of the CFPB and regulations that empower consumers to make informed financial decisions," PayPal said in an emailed statement, according to American Banker. "Although well intentioned, the prepaid rule was designed primarily for physical prepaid cards and fails to account for the significant differences between those cards and digital wallets."
PayPal already discloses digital wallet terms and conditions to consumers, but the CFPB's rule requires it to include government-scripted disclosures that have little connection to how PayPal presents its services and charges fees, PayPal said in the lawsuit. That may lead some to believe they are receiving new accounts and services with new fees, the company said.
The rule also hinders customers' ability to link some PayPal credit products to their PayPal digital wallets, which delays fund availability, the company said in the suit.
"Having exhausted other options, PayPal is filing suit to end the unsuitable application of the prepaid rule and its negative impact on digital wallet consumers and our business," PayPal's statement said.

Our offices represented 128 victims of Dr. Howard S. Schneider, the Jacksonville pediatric dentist who was accused by his victims of dental malpractice, dental abuse and accused by the State of corresponding billing fraud. On May 24, 2016, there was a hearing in the State of Florida v. Howard S. Schneider, involving whether Schneider was competent to stand trial. On February 26, 2018, it seems apparent that Schneider's competency was not something which was going to "get better." His mental health is the same or worse.
Attorney Bill Sheppard appeared for former dentist Mr. Schneider. He submitted two affidavits to the court from various medical professionals, which essentially stated that Dr. Schneider has some form of incompetency, challenging whether he can adequately stand trial due to dementia or Alzheimer's.
The prosecution wanted a more independent neuropsychologist to examine Schneider. The Court ruled Dr. Umesh M. Mhatre would examine Dr. Schneider. This choice is a little unusual because Dr. Mhatre "specializes in Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry" according to his biography. However, Dr. Mhatre has testified in many cases, including in front of Judge Cox, and certainly should have the ability and credentials to make the determination necessary.
Since 2016, there have been periodic reviews where Mr. Schneider has undergone additional testing. Although not released publicly, we suspect it substantiated dementia or other mental illness such that the State of Florida dropped all charges on February 26, 2018.
The cases notes listed below indicate dropped charges by the state. Also called "nolle," "nol pross," or "nolle prosequi," it is a disposition by the prosecution after filing of a case in court, but before judgment. Can it be refiled? It is possible if the Court leaves the option open under the specific circumstances of this case.
To us, it is a sign that Howard Schneider's 81-year-old body and mind will never stand trial for his actions in a courtroom.
Incompetency: What does it mean?
This all begs the question of when did he "become incompetent"? Clearly, Schneider performed procedures, including x-rays, over and over again and did work on teeth he didn't plan to. For years, victims can show he did vast amounts of unwarranted dental work. Was this intentional for billing fraud or because of dementia? Or some combination of both?
Schneider has lost his licenses, his practice, had both office and home foreclosed, has virtually no wealth left and has even left Jacksonville in shame. As we commonly say, justice is spelled one way, but defined many different ways. The families of victims wanted to see a criminal conviction, but won't. No plea bargain. No real explanation. It's all sad, but these families saved other families and that is truly JUSTICE.

Bicycling for a better world - cycling has the potential to transform cities. MTF helped with the installation of bike counters in the city of Seattle to measure cycling activity and impact of cycling infrastructure investments.
We believe in the power of creative collaboration to transform people and communities
Philanthropists are investors seeking the ultimate return on investment: healthy and vibrant communities. At the Mark Torrance Foundation (MTF), we invest in people and organizations with the potential to strengthen communities locally and globally.
When I first began my journey in philanthropy, I was most inspired by those who were taking on social and environmental challenges with new and creative approaches. They taught me early on that success comes from collaboration and shared vision.
My first endeavors with MTF were lessons in the value of connections. We saw that the best solutions come when organizations work together with shared purpose. Our approach evolved to view investment as not simply a financial transaction but a dynamic relationship. A relationship where funders, grantees and other partners share expertise and resources to build a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts.
Today MTF continues to learn and evolve. Our aim is to understand the challenges facing our communities and how we can partner in creating lasting change.

Addressing a critical issue
Healthy eating habits can provide a lifetime of good health. But far too many living in inner cities never develop these habits because they're not exposed to healthy foods early in life. This causes a higher risk of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Green Plate Special (GPS) is an organization that helps youth develop healthy eating habits through an innovative "seed to table" approach where they garden, cook and dine together. Through GPS programs, middle school students prepare healthy, tasty meals with ingredients they've helped to grow. By focusing on simple and inexpensive recipes, students leave GPS with the taste and tools for preparing healthy snacks and meals in their own homes.
A partnership with the Mark Torrance Foundation
In 2013, GPS programs were growing and they were looking for a new space in order to better serve increasing demand. Around the same time, Mark Torrance and GPS executive director Laura Dewell were in conversations about how the Mark Torrance Foundation (MTF) could support the long-term growth of the organization. Mark was interested in funding a project in memory of his late wife Susan that would support her life-long passions for gardening, cooking and youth issues.
Their collaboration led to a three-year investment to build long-term capacity so GPS could expand its program offerings and serve more young people. The grant would fund expanded teaching garden space, with new planting beds, irrigation systems, herb garden, fencing, green house, storage sheds and outdoor eating spaces. The commitment from the foundation paved the way for a long-term, low-cost lease for a property owned by the Laurel Foundation, providing a home for GPS for years to come.
An organization transformed
Today, with the new and expanded facility, GPS has increased its class capacity significantly and is now planning new programs that include families. The new greenhouse extends the growing season through the winter and the irrigation system reduces water use allowing more time to experiment in the garden and kitchen. Students can wind down in a sitting area within the herb garden that is dedicated to Susan Torrance.
In keeping with the investment strategy of MTF, the new facility has provided GPS leadership with the tools they need to continue to innovate and expand the organization's reach. The three-year commitment from the Foundation provides a stable foundation for growth for years to come.

SDOT Bicyle Counter
Bicycling for a better world
Cycling has the potential to transform cities. It shrinks our carbon footprint, reduces congestion on roadways, and contributes to happier and healthier lives for cyclists. In Seattle, city planners and organizations like Cascade Bicycle Club are always looking for new ways to make the city safer and more accessible to cyclists. They focus on improving our bike routes so that people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds feel comfortable getting where they need to go by bike.
Data is power
Building cycling infrastructure that works, requires a deep understanding of how cyclists use the city's streets. In European cities, the most bike friendly in the world, bike counters are used to capture critical data on bike traffic patterns. This has facilitated data-driven decisions regarding how and where to invest resources to encourage cycling.
The Mark Torrance Foundation (MTF) was interested in bringing this powerful tool to Seattle in order to help city planners in their work, and show the people of Seattle the benefits of investing in cycling infrastructure. The goal was to show solid success with an initial project to build momentum for additional counters throughout the city. The counter would replace periodic hand counting, an inaccurate, cumbersome, staff intensive process which could only be implemented infrequently.
The conversation started in 2012 with Cascade Bicycle Club to identify the best way to plan an investment. Cascade then facilitated conversations with the Seattle Dept. of Transportation, which led to an initial grant to fund Seattle's first bicycle counter located on Seattle's Fremont Bridge, one of the city's busiest bike routes.
Shifting the conversation
In late December 2014, the Fremont bike counter reached a major milestone when it hit one million bike trips for 2014 – a ten percent increase over the previous year. The data is already paying big dividends for city planners and the citizens of Seattle. It has supported further improvements on bicycle route and shown that public investment in cycling infrastructure can lead to increased ridership.
"In the near term the counters are helping get more people out of cars and on their bikes," said Mark Torrance founder of the Mark Torrance Foundation. "In the long term we want to show how data supports good public policy. This data goes a long way in refuting the argument that too few people commute by bike to justify investing in bike infrastructure."
The MTF funded the installation of a second counter on the West Seattle Bridge and encouraged the city to match the investment by installing additional invisible counters on key thoroughfares. Today, electronic data gathering is a key element of the city's public works strategy. Altogether the counters record over 1.3 million bike trips a year on the busy bike routes.
Helping everyone play a role
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. today, and the second leading cause of death among young people ages 10-24. It's also one of the most preventable—when everyone plays a role. Forefront is making everyone's role more effective by:
working with lawmakers on policies that improve awareness and training requirements
training health professionals, educators and others to identify risk
helping journalists and social media report responsibly and educate the public
giving grieving survivors peer support and ways to turn grief into good
supporting research to guide prevention efforts
Thanks to bold, innovative actions by Forefront's founders, Washington became the first state in the country to require suicide prevention training for mental health professionals. The momentum kept growing—with more legislation, training, media interviews and campus outreach. All with a small, primarily part-time staff.
In 2014 the first grant from the Mark Torrance Foundation enabled Forefront to hire an operations manager to build systems and engage directly with the public and staff. Non-profits rarely receive grants for their infrastructure, but this investment in the basics freed the organization to maximize its potential.
Making Washington a leader
With the support provided by the MTF, Forefront continues to change the suicide prevention landscape with legislation, training, research and outreach. In addition, it is changing the cultures of healthcare, education, news and social media to be more open, candid and compassionate about the topic of suicide.
This in turn will make it easier for individuals to get the help they need and for Forefront to meet its goal of reducing Washington's suicide rate by 20% by the year 2020. At the same time, developing a model that may be used on a national level.

This is the most powerful car I have ever driven. Beautiful interiors, good average around 13 Kmpl, perfect interiors features. It's sport mode drive insane, more powerful than any of its other competitors. Just lacking in some space as leg room falls short sometimes . In all, it's a beast.

Q: Is the asymptotic density of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\gcd(n, \sigma(n^2))=\gcd(n^2, \sigma(n^2))$ equal to zero? (This post is an offshoot of this MSE question.)
Let $\sigma(x)$ denote the sum of divisors of $x$.  (https://oeis.org/A000203)
QUESTION

Is the asymptotic density of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\gcd(n, \sigma(n^2))=\gcd(n^2, \sigma(n^2))$ equal to zero?

I tried searching for examples and counterexamples to the equation
$$\gcd(n, \sigma(n^2))=\gcd(n^2, \sigma(n^2))$$
via Sage Cell Server, it gave me this output for the following Pari-GP script:
for(x=1, 100, if(gcd(x,sigma(x^2))==gcd(x^2,sigma(x^2)),print(x)))

All positive integers from $1$ to $100$ (except for the integer $99$) satisfy $\gcd(n, \sigma(n^2))=\gcd(n^2, \sigma(n^2))$.

Generalizing the first (counter)example of $99$ is trivial.
If ${3^2}\cdot{11} \parallel n$, then $11 \parallel \gcd(n,\sigma(n^2))$  and  $11^2 \parallel \gcd(n^2,\sigma(n^2))$.  So the asymptotic density in question is less than
$$1-\frac{2}{3^3}\cdot\frac{10}{11^2} = \frac{3247}{3267} \approx 0.993878.$$
Also, if $3 \parallel n$, then with probability $1$ there exist two distinct primes $y$ and $z$ congruent to $1$ modulo $3$ such that $y \parallel n$ and $z \parallel n$.  In this case, we get $3 \parallel \gcd(n,\sigma(n^2))$  and  $3^2 \parallel \gcd(n^2,\sigma(n^2))$.  So the asymptotic density in question is less than
$$1-\frac{2}{3^2} = \frac{7}{9} \approx 0.\overline{777}.$$
The real open problem is whether the asymptotic density is $0$.

A: I think the density does go to zero, but quite slowly. If $p \equiv 1 \bmod 6$ is prime then there are two solutions $0<r<s<p-1$ of $$x^2+x+1=0 \bmod p$$
If $p\parallel n$ then, with probability $1,$ there are two distinct primes $x $ and $ y,$  each congruent to $r \bmod p,$ with $x \parallel n$ and $y \parallel n.$ ( Either or both could be congruent to $s$ as well.)
Then $p \parallel \gcd(n,\sigma(n^2))$ while $p^2 \parallel \gcd(n^2,\sigma(n^2)).$ So the asymptotic density for this not to happen is $1-\frac{p-1}{p^2}<1-\frac{1}{p+2}$
If we can argue that the chance that none of these events happen is asymptotically $\prod(1-\frac{p-1}{p^2})$ over the primes congruent to $1 \bmod 6,$ then that asymptotic density is $0.$
