Iñigo Martinez "I Did The Right Thing Coming To Athletic And I'll Never Regret That Decision"
Iñigo Martinez believes Athletic can compete for European qualification (LaLiga)
It's been nearly one year to the day since Iñigo Martinez joined Athletic after the club paid his €32 million release clause. The signing was, and still is, the most expensive transfer in Athletic history and it's safe to say that it has all turned out very well. The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the most important players in the team and was a guest on the Fuera de Juego radio show on Thursday night where he was quick to highlight the improvements that have been made over the past month.
"When the results come, there is more confidence. We have had several good matches in a row. We are fighting every game and we are seeing a different Athletic. Now you're seeing the Athletic that I saw when I was at Real…defending well and taking advantage of the chances, focusing and finishing. It's something similar to what Athletic did before. Lately we are seeing a San Mamés plugged in and the fans support with desire. On Sunday we have another final against Betis."
Athletic seemed to have another three points wrapped up last weekend when Iñaki Williams scored the winning goal close to the final whistle, but VAR would rule the goal offsides despite many replay angles showing that it looked like a clear goal. Martinez admitted that he thought it was offside when the play happened and was critical of the review.
"Even the referees are not so clear. There are times when they also doubt and generate that tension that also causes confusion. These are millimeter plays. You are waiting in the field and they don't say anything. On the field I saw that Cordoba's pass was late and it seemed that Yuri had gotten offsides. At the time we all thought it was off because Villarreal stopped and in the end, unfortunately, it was."
Athletic are playing great football under Gaizka Garitano (LaLiga)
The club parted ways with Eduardo Berizzo on 4 December when Gaizka Garitano was promoted as the first team manager and the team is doing much better under his leadership. That being said, the players still feel responsible for what happened with Berizzo, although Martinez definitely believes Garitano's system fits the team better.
"The dismissal of Berizzo was something we all disliked. The main culprits were us. We feel it and we will continue to feel it. With Berizzo's system you had to get everything right or it would hurt you in many moments of the game. With Gaizka we feel more organized. The defenders see that if you are not compact, little by little, you are turning your head and that is what you should not do…Now you see that the help arrives and you feel strong."
When Martinez was signed last January the team was in a difficult place with then-manager Kuko Ziganda in control. Now the defender believes he is playing his best football for the club and says that Athletic can compete for Europe if they continue playing at the level they have been under Garitano.
"I arrived at a time when things were not going well. It was difficult, it wasn't easy. Now this may be the best I've played since I joined Athletic. I feel comfortable and confident. We are doing well and if we continue like this I have no doubt that we will end up fighting for those positions that we all want."
Despite the struggles since his arrival, Martinez has absolutely no regrets about his decision to join Athletic. He says that it was the best thing for him and that he needed to make a switch because he was unhappy at Real Sociedad due to various issues.
Iñigo Martinez is happy to be playing at Athletic Club (LaLiga)
"The best thing for me was coming to Athletic. I did the right thing, I will never regret that decision. If someone isn't happy in his team, he should look for happiness. That was the main reason for my departure and move to Athletic. I won't forget what I lived at Real. I made my debut there and I will always be grateful for everything that I experienced there. I will take it to the grave."
Years before Martinez stated that he would never sign for Athletic. He told Fuera de Juego that he meant that at the time, but things change. He still has a good relationship with his former teammates, but the President and Board of Directors at Real Sociedad knew that he was going to leave and did nothing to try to stop him. Now he's happy to be at Athletic Club. La Real then responded by launching an initiative called "He's History" where they welcomed fans to turn in jerseys with Martinez's name for a free replacement of another player. Being written out of the club's history didn't sit well with the 27-year-old who says he will always cherish his time at the Anoeta.
"I stand by what I said about never joining the other side. I was young and at that time and I wasn't planning to leave. I felt at ease, then different times followed. I don't regret anything I've said or done. My relationship with my former teammates at Real has been the same as when I was there. Since I left I have not had any contact with any of Real's leaders. They didn't like my exit, it caught them in a hurry and hurt them. They knew what was going to happen and neither Aperribay nor anyone else on the Board called me. It bothered me that Real changed the shirts with my name. I think it was portrayed, for what I know, in a specific way by Aperribay. Everyone knows why. I won't forget what I lived at Real. I made my debut there and I will always be grateful for everything that I experienced there. I will take it to the grave."
Athletic are currently preparing for Sunday's match against Real Betis where a win could bring the team into the top half of the table and within striking distance of the European zone of the standings. Six days later the Lions will travel to the Anoeta for a massive Basque Derby against Real Sociedad in what will be another challenging and special game for Iñigo Martinez. The dramatic switch to Athletic is still fresh in everyone's mind, but Martinez is enjoying life at the San Mamés.

Keeping Your Distance: How Narrative Distance Works in Your Novel
By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy
The narrative distance in a novel has more impact on it than you might think. Especially when it comes to point of view.
Over the years, I've critiqued a lot of manuscripts, and a common area writers stumble over is narrative distance. They're not always sure what it is, how to use it, or how it affects their point of view.
Narrative distance is that feeling of closeness (or lack thereof) between the reader and the characters. It's what makes the point of view feel close or distant.
There's no "right" narrative distance. It's up to the writer to decide where they want the reader to be, but it's easy to fall into a "limbo narrative" where it isn't clear where--or even who--the narrator is. When this happens, we often slip into telling or too much filtering and readers feel disconnected from the characters and the story.
The wrong narrative distance can push readers away or bring them in way too close. You might be inadvertently shoving readers around by using a narrative distance that isn't right for your story, or one that's inconsistent with your point of view.
Here are some things to consider about your novel's narrative distance:
How do you write your stage direction and action?
This is often where you feel how close or far the narrator is, because actions usually have motive attached to them. Characters moving around and doing things for reasons. Sometimes they state those reasons outright, other times they're implied, and sometimes, the author explains them.
In a close narrative distance, we'd show the action and let readers figure out the character's motivations by observing what that character says and does. A farther narrative distance might explain those motivations.
This is what makes a deep point of view feel close and an omniscient point of view feel more distant or detached. It's how close readers are to that character's thoughts and feelings. For example:
Close Narrative Distance:
The zombie lunged through the open window. Oh crap! Bob grabbed the shogun and pulled the trigger.
Jane bit back a frustrated scream. There was never a shotgun around when you needed it. She spotted an ax hanging behind the bar. That'll do.
This shows what the characters are doing and thinking from inside their heads. There aren't any tags such as "he thought" or words that imply motive to their actions. They just do them.
Far Narrative Distance:
Bob reached for the shogun to blow the zombie's head off. Oh crap! he thought, and pulled the trigger.
Jane realized there was never a shotgun around when you needed it. She ran for the ax hanging behind the bar instead.
This shows what's going on from a few steps farther back. We don't feel inside the character's heads, even though we do see their thoughts and actions.
The farther the narrative distance, the more likely it is you'll find words such as to and for that imply motive. The author is telling the tale and explaining they why and how.
(Here's more on How Far is Too Far? Far Narrative Distance vs Telling)
Are you using filter words?
Readers experience our stories through our characters, but the farther outside those character's heads we are, the more we might need to explain how they feel and how their emotions affect their actions.
Filter words explain what the narrator is thinking or feeling instead of showing actions that let readers figure out these things from observation.
Filter words such as felt, thought, sensed, believed, realized, ignored add an extra layer of distance between the character and the reader.
Filter words can feel like telling, but there's a subtle difference between a distant narrator and telling.
Telling is more likely when we rely on the explanation to convey the information or emotion to readers, and add nothing in the text to support that information or emotion. It also feels more told when there's no sense of a narrator behind those explanations, it's just the author filling in the gaps. For example:
Telling: Jane could feel the zombie just beyond the edge of the light. They'd found her.
Showing: Jane's skin prickled. The zombie groaned beyond the edge of the light, a presence in the darkness, a lurking hunger. They'd found her.
Telling: Bob ignored the warning signs that zombies were close and went in anyway.
Showing: Bob ignored the the shuffling feet, the groaning, even the smell, and opened the door.
In both telling examples, the filter words explain information that affect the characters, but we don't actually see what that information is. Jane "could feel the zombie" but there's no description of how. Bob knows there are "warning signs" of nearby zombies, but we get nothing about what those signs look or sound like.
(Here's more on You'll Have to Go Through Me: Eliminating Filter Words)
Are you explaining events from a distance?
A far narrative distance often shows the story from the perspective of someone who knows what happened and why, using words such as by, since, after, when, before. It might also summarize a decision readers never gets to see the point of view character make. For example:
By the time Bob got to the gun, the zombie had broken through the door.
Since Jane was already on top of the dumpster, Bob ran for the Chevy Suburban.
When Sally came out of the house, then zombies charged at her.
Pulling back far enough to see the bigger picture of the scene gives that scene a more omniscient point of view tone. It's not the point of view character experiencing these events, it's someone outside watching them in the story.
(Here's more on "When" Are You Telling? The Trouble with When Statements)
Pitfalls of Narrative Distance
A far narrative distance makes it easier to tell instead of show, so if you decide on far, just make sure the one doing the "telling" is the narrator, not the author poking in to explain things.
A close narrative distance makes it easier to throw in every single thing a character thinks and does, so the story bogs down. Even though readers are close in the narrator's head, we don't have to show every thing they think or do. We can summarize a bit or skip things entirely if they story reads better that way. It's all about balance.
(Here's more on What You Need to Know About Show, Don't Tell)
Which narrative distance should you use?
It's just like point of view--whichever you prefer. It all depends on how close in the head of your narrator and point of view character you want readers to be. The closer you get, the more personal and judgmental (as in, characters judge what they see and have an opinion about it, not the snotty type) the story reads. The farther away, the more weight the narrator has and the more "observer along for the ride" readers feel.
You hear all the time about filter words and point of view, and Juliette Wade did a fabulous post on this. A must read if you really want to understand this concept.
What narrative distance do you prefer? Do you have favorites? Does it differ in what you like to read versus write?

This is a really well-written post. Great for any writer. Tweeting you.
Natalie Aguirre 1/19/11, 12:54 PM
Great post and answers some questions for me about third person limited. I didn't realize adding "he thought" adds some distance. I have seen a few authors, like in Tyger, Tyger, do third person limited without the "he thought" and without italics. I'll need to pay more attention to this. Thanks.
Terry Odell 1/19/11, 6:39 PM
I write deep POV. I don't want "ME" on the page. Even in narration, I try to remain true to each character's voice. There should never be a jolt between "the character is talking" and "someone else is talking" for the reader.
Carol Riggs 1/19/11, 7:18 PM
Excellent post (another one going into my Writing Documents for posterity and later reference!).
I really like to use the deep POV too, and I don't like the "he thought" and "she thought" tags at all. They feel intrusive to me. I'm just beginning to know what you're talking about between the subtle diff between narrative distance and Telling, too. Good stuff!
A.B. Fenner 1/19/11, 8:01 PM
I think I have at least ten of your blog posts bookmarked, and I just added this one. These are such great references, especially in the editing phase. Thanks so much!
Myne 1/19/11, 10:49 PM
I will also be bookmarking this. First time here and I learn a new thing. I've not heard of the difference in telling and far narrative distance. I also use the deep POV, it comes more naturally to me.
Janice Hardy 1/20/11, 8:30 AM
Salarsen: Thanks so much!
Natalie: There are so many ways to add or reduce distance. Finally getting this was another major light bulb moment for me, actually. I'm always amazed at how tiny word changes can affect the text on so many levels. Maybe it's the geek in me, but I think this stuff is so cool :)
Terry: I totally agree. Deep POV is my favorite, too, both to read and write.
Carol: Thanks! Narrative distance is such a cool thing to play with. All aspects of POV have enormous range on what you can do with them.
A.B. Fenner: Most welcome :)
Myne: Welcome to the blog! Lots of deep POV fans here as well ;) It's my favorite, too.
I have to tell you: I have learned more from your posts on POV than from many books I read. All your posts are awesome for that matter, I just keep adding them to my Evernote 'writing' folder. You make it so practical and every time I've read a post, I go back to my writing and fix mistakes. Thanks a lot!
Janice Hardy 1/20/11, 2:12 PM
Thanks!I do try to do more than just say "this is how you do it." I strive to find things you can do to improve and see the changes in your work.
Shannon 1/20/11, 10:26 PM
Err, sorry, removed the wrong post on the wrong blog. My bad. I was just saying that I went back and evaluated when I used each of those words and found that I use 'felt' a lot when I don't need to. By rewording it, my pages read a lot better. Sensed, thought, and realized, I rarely used and when I did it was with a purpose. It's amazing the things your blog teaches! I guess that's why you're my absolute favoritest blogger.
Awesome :) And thanks so much! Hearing that makes all the work worth it.
Oh, I love this post--I'm linking to it tomorrow! :)
Gabriela Pereira 1/25/11, 8:59 AM
Wow, great post! I've been thinking of doing a post on narrative distance and will definitely link to this when I do. Just found your blog today but am loving it already!
Matthew MacNish 1/25/11, 9:30 AM
I've only written the one novel, and the first draft was third person limited, but I tried to keep the narrative distance pretty close. The novel ended up going on way to long, or rather I did, while writing it, but I've since re-written it into first person, so I suppose the distance is even that much closer now.
Great post! Thanks so much.
Janice Hardy 1/25/11, 10:38 AM
Gabi: Welcome to the blog, and thanks for the future link!
Matthew: So which do you like better? First or third?
Henya 2/1/11, 7:57 PM
Narrative distance is a delicate balance I often have difficulty with. I just love the examples you've added to your post.
Janice Hardy 2/3/11, 8:57 AM
Most welcome ;)
Christine Dillon 11/19/19, 9:05 PM
Your book on this subject saved me $1000 on an editing bill. Narrative distance 'red flag' words drive me crazy in other people's books. I can't take the editing hat off. I'm surprised how often I find them in traditionally published books. Yours in one book a lot of editors and authors need to read.
Janice Hardy 11/21/19, 6:29 AM
Aw, thanks so much! I have a hard time with the editor hat, too. For a long time, I couldn't read ebook because they felt like "working." I kept trying to edit as if I was doing a crit!

Avoid The Needless Pedestrian Deaths – CILT-Ghana Guild Fellows Guild To Gov't
On December 7, 2018 December 7, 2018 By raskorsa
The Fellows Guild of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Ghana (FCILT) said road and transport projects in the country must be developed with the view of enhancing safe movement of people and not necessarily vehicles since the lives of pedestrians must be the focus in any road planning and construction.
According to the Guild, the deaths of pedestrians in the country especially the Capital city of Accra during the past few weeks is alarming and that government needs to take measures to save the situation.
In a statement issued by the Fellows of CILT Ghana, they indicated that the needless pedestrian deaths could have been avoided had the agencies responsible took more proactive measures arresting the situation.
Making reference to the death of the female student, and many other people who lost their lives on the Madina-Adenta Highway including a first-year female student of West Africa Senior High School (WASS), the Guild expressed dissatisfaction that none of the footbridges along that Highway has been completed even after several years of the construction.
"This situation has made it unsafe for pedestrians to cross the multiple-lane highway. It is expected that footbridges, which form the integral part of safety of pedestrians, must be constructed before the commissioning of any highway, especially if such highway passes through urban communities," the CILT Ghana Fellows Guild stated.
The members of the Guild also indicated that the expectation now is for government has decided to act swiftly in completing the footbridges to help forestall these preventable deaths.
Making some recommendations to government on how to save these unfortunate situations, the Guild said government should impose and enforce specific speed limits on that stretch of the road and also construct appropriate speed control measures on the long-stretch of road to reduce the unnecessary over speeding of drivers.
The Guild also noted that all faulty traffic lights should be repaired with modern solar-powered lights whilst efforts must be made to provide extra traffic lights with toucan crossing system to allow free flow of traffic as the immediate measures.
It Aldo called for the intensification of road safety education by extended to the public including motorcyclists on the use of the road and their roles and responsibilities by the National Road Safety Commission.
"The Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service must enforce the road safety laws and regulations and should be on duty at all times to control the traffic situation, especially during 'rush-hours' till all works are completed," it said.
For the Medium Term and Long Term measures, the Guild is calling on the Ministry of Transport to ensure that the regulation on all commercial road transport buses having exit/emergency doors is well-enforced. This, it said, will enable easy access by emergency and extrication teams to crash victims as well as easy access to crash victims themselves to get out of vehicles in the event of a crash and help reduce fatalities.
It also suggested training for road transport union executives, management and front-line officers of road transport operating companies and other vehicle owners on general road safety management, and called on the DVLA to put in measure to ensure that vehicles without roadworthy certification are not be allowed to operate.
"There is the urgent need for the government to act on the precarious situation of the National Ambulance Service (NAS) for which about 45 vehicles are in operable condition as at November 2018. The fleet, which has reached its operational effectiveness and efficiency should be totally replaced and further increase its numbers to help respond to victims of road crashes and other emergencies. To ensure effective operational management, deployment and response of ambulances and emergency care, the government can consider other digital options in hailing their services as operated by Uber, Taxify and other similar services," it stated.
The Guild also stressed the establishment of a road transport authority to regulate the sector, and appealed to government to speed-up the process of establishing a Road Transport Regulatory Body to help bring general sanity to the country's road transport sub-sector as we have in the aviation, maritime and railways.
The Guild also called on pedestrians crossing at wrong sections of the road using pedestrian crossings and footbridges, must be more careful so as to avoid such fatalities.
The Fellows Guild of CILT Ghana however sent their heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of the pedestrians who lost their lives crossing the highways.

The majority of car infotainment systems actually increase distraction, not ease it. So says the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and the University of Utah, which tested 30 different cars and found 23 create high or very levels of distraction across a range of scenarios. Only seven created what were described as moderate levels of distraction, and none reduced distraction. The information is helpful in setting the stage for more discussion and ignores longer-term trends, such as whether on-board navigation can be considered all that distracting when people were driving while reading folding paper maps 20 years ago.
Cognitive demand placed on the driver in University of Utah / AAA Foundation study on driver distraction. Data points farther right indicate more more difficulty / time spent using infotainment, and more recorded distraction.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is an offshoot of AAA, the longstanding drivers' club for mainstream motorists. It partnered with the University of Utah, which did the research and compiled a 104-page report with a suitably academic title, Visual and Cognitive Demands of Using In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems (PDF). Tests were conducted on the 30 2017 model year vehicles over a 2-mile, 25 mph public road, measuring how well the drivers, age 21-36, managed to perform tasks involving the navigation system, sending and receiving texts, calling and dialing on a connected smartphone, and using multiple music sources.
Some teens can provide their own distraction, helped by turning the volume knob to 11.
Our experience has been that touch screens are fabulous when the vehicle is parked, but on a bouncy road, it's a bear to accurately enter information, or even to make choices. Touch screens without buttons or knobs are more troublesome, so we'd expect something like Cadillac CUE to rate poorly (it's in the high but not highest distraction category), whereas the simpler Chevrolet MyLink interface with more and larger buttons should be easier to use (Chevrolet Traverse rated high distraction, while Chevrolet Equinox rated moderate distraction).
The study ranked input methods from least to most distracting: touch screens and physical switches or knobs, voice commands, touchpads ("writing pads"), and dials or cockpit control wheels. Some input methods were not tested, such as Tinder-like swipe gestures.
2016 Harris poll for Chevrolet says parents worry most about safe driving. Based on trends of the past 2-3 years, opioids and other drugs should get equal attention. But it's not unusual to focus on, say, the potential of your child being kidnapped (low) versus injured in a crash because mom or dad didn't make the back seat dwellers buckle up.
Infotainment should be tested across multiple years. Consider Honda's early 2010s system, with lots of buttons but a small screen. It was followed by Display Audio with zero buttons and zero knobs, not even voice or tuning. Honda finally relented two years ago and put back the volume knob, and now with the stellar 2018 Honda Accord ready to hit the market, Display Audio has eight buttons and two knobs.
Results should be broken out by LCD screen size and position. A big screen in the middle of the dash is easier to tap on; it's easier to read when mounted on the top of the dash.
AAA could drill down on the radio tuning tasks, and see how easy or hard it is if there's an external row of presets; sometimes the buttons can be used for nav destinations or favorite music choices.
The same tests should be run on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to see if they're easier to use. No matter what car they're on, they work about the same. Also, it would be helpful to see how the recorded distraction levels change as drivers get more experience. Turning testers loose on the car today for a baseline, then letting them drive the same car for a month, then repeating the tests, would show how task times fall as drivers learn how to work the machines.
GM Super Cruise driver distraction camera.
There are teen driver tools that let parents set a volume limit on the infotainment system, or lock it at half-volume unless front seat belts are fastened. But other teen safety tools are limiting even if they sound good, such as a speedometer tattletale if the young driver, for instance, exceeds 50 mph. Now that car navigation typically includes road-by-road speed limit information, it would be a no-brainer to let parents set the tattletale at 5 mph above the posted speed, but so far no automaker has done that. Cadillac's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system includes a camera with IR night lighting that warns if the driver's eyes wander for more than 5-10 seconds. This would be great for teen (and all driver) safety were Super Cruise standard on something cheaper than the $85,000 Cadillac CT6 sedan (or a $5,000 option on CT6's starting at $55,000).
When I test-drove Ford's multi-million-dollar Virtexx driving simulator several years ago, I found it was possible to reduce distraction–if you really had to do something distracting–by breaking the task into multiple small chunks of interaction. This isn't so much smart as it is less-stupid. But it helps.
Historical information is also useful. An AM/FM/cassette radio of the seventies is perhaps easier to use because you have fewer choices and big physical buttons. But the death toll then was about 4 per 100 million miles driven, while now it's just over 1 per 100MM. There was a recent uptick the last two years, which safety advocates say is most likely linked to distractions.
Other distractions from the past were dangerous. The researchers are comparing cars from the 2017 model year. Go back to the period from just past World War II until the 1960s (first seat belts) and 1970s (first airbags): These cars more often lacked air conditioning, and driving with the windows open led to wind noise and buffeting that was tiresome. Two of the biggest distractions of the era, other than big hair getting caught in the sunroof, were dropping a lit cigarette in your lap and trying to deal with a bee that flew in the open window.
On an even broader level, when comparing where to spend resarch and prevention money, consider that auto fatalities have long been the leading cause of death among under-25s. But now, drug deaths (cheap opioids), homicides, and suicides are catching up, and in some cases surpassing car fatalities.
In short: The AAA Foundation/University of Utah report is useful. But there is much more to research and deeper to dig.

Q: Freepascal or CodeTyphon: Warnings Since the compilation of CodeTyphon 64bit, on first use, the ide or compiler throws a couple of warnings, while compiling my programs. Below I detail them.
Compiling project Objective: SGA: Success, Warnings: 2
SGA.lpr (28.1) Warning: "crtbeginS.o" not found, This will probably cause a failure linking
SGA.lpr (28.1) Warning: "crtendS.o" not found, This will probably cause a failure linking
What I can do ?
I might add that seems to work well but my programs so far are very simple. Maybe when complicated give me trouble, I do not know.
It is the same message to the ide installed windows 7 and Linux Mint 18
Greetings and thanks

A: In linux, I got around this error message by adding the path, which contains, crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o, to the fpc.cfg file located in the
/usr/local/codetyphon/fpc/fpc64/bin/x86_64-linux/ folder
I added -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5 to the library section, where it says '# searchpath for libraries'

A: It is odd that the warning appears on windows, since crtbeginS.o is part of Unix startup code, and FPC/Lazarus/CT don't used it on Windows.
As for Linux, probably your system is not prepared for development, install the required packages for development (sometimes there is a meta package for them, try "build-essentials")
If the problems on Windows are while crosscompiling to Linux, it might be a problem with the startup files copied over from the target system. I don't use CT myself, so don't know how that works.

Here's The Latest Technology That Will Make Driving Safer
by Vipin PG
In the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas highlighted the latest car technologies expected to prevent injuries and damage caused by road accidents. Along with self-driving car technology, technology to avoid collisions of the vehicle is also being developed.
Some of these developments have already been implemented in different car types and brands worldwide, while others will be integrated with the next generation of vehicles. Meanwhile, the US federal government is also working with multiple government agencies to finalize the standards for autonomous or self driving vehicles to ensure that they're safe. Here are some of the best tech which will make driving safer.
Driver Sense system
Cipia, formerly known as Eyesight Technology, has developed the Driver Sense system wherein a camera analyzes the driver's facial features. Blink rate, yawning, and smoking are some of the actions which are monitored. A warning is generated if safety norms are violated.
This type of tech will benefit Europe since the European Commission has made it mandatory for new car models and makes that includes driver monitoring, speed limiters, and other safety features in new cars manufactured after 2022. This year, those in the market for a new vehicle should look for these new tech features while shopping for a new ride.
Recently, it was announced that the China-US OEM Joint Venture had selected Cipia's driving monitoring system for five upcoming car models. Production on the new cars with the Driver Sense feature is slated to begin in the first half of 2022.
The Super Cruise feature of the Cadillac CT6 incorporates adaptive cruise control, which slows down the vehicle based on the vehicle's speed in front. The camera also monitors the driver's eye movements to check if the driver is paying attention to the road ahead.
A green light is automatically switched on if the driver is distracted. Apart from the 2018-2020 Cadillac CT6, this feature is also available in the company's other car models, including the 2021 Escalade, CT4, and CT5.
Cadillac has tapped celebrities such as Sofia Vergara and her husband Joe Manganiello, the Jonas Brothers, and Tiffany Haddish to test the Super Cruise feature while driving the Next Generation 2021 Escalade. Vergara and Manganiello's test drive, which racked up over three million views on YouTube, demonstrates how easy it is to activate the Super Cruise feature.
To use, one must press the Adaptive Cruise Control button on the steering wheel. Once the feature detects that you're on the road with lane markings and that GPS is available, the Super Cruise symbol will then light up. Upon pressing the Super Cruise button, the driver can now take their hands off the steering wheel. This feature can be disengaged by pressing the Super Cruise button again or by stepping on the brakes.
More accurate road monitoring
Radar or cameras are used to detect items around the vehicle, and this tech is currently available in most new cars in the market. However, the most advanced systems use light ranging and detection, abbreviated as Lidar. Though Lidar is too expensive to be implemented commercially at present, it is very accurate, according to Aeye, a California company that develops similar technology.
Meanwhile, the Mobileye tech from Intel also incorporates a lane-keeping feature for US cars, which identifies the lane where the car is located. Moreover, this tech feature can anticipate possible collisions with pedestrians, other vehicles, cyclists, animals, debris, and other road obstacles. It can also recognize road boundaries and barriers, read directional signs and traffic signs and lights. This tech can be highly useful to keep elderly drivers safe and those who have slight hearing problems.
Vehicle to vehicle communication
The car communication system will allow the driver to receive, analyze information from networks, devices, and other cars in the area wirelessly. It will help drivers to get details about other vehicles on the same route they're taking. If the driver in another car is planning to drive or swerve in a particular direction, having this information will help prevent accidents or waste time in a traffic jam.
Some of the best tech and car companies are already joining forces to create new technology to enhance vehicle communication. For example, Honda and Verizon have recently teamed up and are researching how mobile edge computing and 5G can enable faster communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and pedestrians. Faster communication may allow vehicles to avoid hazards and collisions.
Moreover, it can allow drivers to find alternate routes to stay safe while on the road. Instead of relying on a car's computer to do the work, the 5G and MEC technology provide information, like speed, location, and other sensor info to the network, and the network informs the driver if there is danger up ahead or if there is a potential for an accident.
Autonomous parking upgrades
Even the most experienced drivers may have trouble parking in a tight space. Fortunately, gadgets such as backup cameras can help one park with ease in a tricky area. But soon, upcoming car models will also have unique features which will allow cars to park autonomously.
For example, Tesla's biggest rival, Xpeng, is about to install a software upgrade on its P7 car, which will allow the vehicle to learn up to 100 parking spots. This upgrade is called Valet Parking Assist, and once the software is in place, drivers can leave their car at the car park entrance, and the car will drive itself to a designated parking spot.
In addition, the Kia Sportage 2022 and the Kia EV6 are also slated to have a Remote Smart Parking Assist feature. This feature will allow drivers to remotely park their vehicle or exit a parking lot from outside the car using their key fob.
A large part of the auto safety technology is still under development and is undergoing tests to determine their performance and reliability in everyday driving situations. However, with the arrival of this brand-new tech, we can expect our roads to be safer in the coming years.

Considering his near perfect junior season on the mound, there are even a string of superlatives that don't do Dawson Netz justice.
Even words like "awesome" and "dominant" and "unparalleled" don't seem strong enough for a guy that refused for anything less than perfection.
And while we say 'near perfect,' we mean it.
Netz went 12-0 with a 0.26 ERA.
That includes eight complete games, seven shutouts and two no-hitters.
Netz set a new CIF record of 59 consecutive innings without allowing a run that wasn't snapped until the fifth inning of the CIF-D3 opener against Palos Verdes.
He allowed just three earned runs in 80 innings pitched in all of 2018, and found himself on the mound in one fashion or the other in all five of Maranatha's five postseason games (and wins).
Netz shut out Redlands on the road in the CIF-SS Division 3 semifinals, and because of the 10-inning per week rule in place, the MHS junior was eligible for just three innings last Saturday in the D3 title game against La Salle.
Fortunately and quite timely for Maranatha, the Minutemen scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take their first lead of the championship game.
And once that happened, and knowing they were just three innings from a CIF championship, No. 27 walked calmly and with a purpose out of the third base dugout to the mound.
While in the process of putting the game to bed, Netz got five of his nine outs via strikeout, including the final batter of the game to earn his school their first championship in eight years.
For a competitor that always seems to be wearing his poker face throughout his battles, the picture of this quality young man realizing MHS had just accomplished their enormous expectations was pretty moving, and it was something we hadn't really seen all season.
Maranatha (27-4, 12-0) earned back the Olympic League title by going 12-0 and that 4-2 victory over La Salle at Cal State Fullerton last Saturday was their 20th consecutive win in 2018.
Netz' record and ERA are just two of the incredible stats he put up this year, but there are more.
He walked just 14 batters and struck out an area-best 117, for a better than 8-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
For his better than great junior season on the mound, Dawson Netz has been named the 2018 Pasadena Sports Now Most Valuable Pitcher.
His career (varsity) record through his junior year is now 20-4 and he still has one more season to pad those already gaudy numbers.
What separates Netz from everyone else is literally his ability and confidence to throw any pitch in any count and with the control to spot his pitches throughout the strike zone.
He's so much smarter in his approach and mind set than almost any batter he faces, and his excellence in the classroom with a GPA north of 4.0 makes his life story even more remarkable.
Early in the season, in one of the many conversations we had with Netz, he boldly claimed that anything short of a CIF championship would be considered a failed season.
So, having the chance to be on the mound to close out the title, and doing so via strikeout had to make the reality of exceeding even the highest of expectations that much sweeter for Netz and his teammates.
For those who have followed his career, and especially this season, you know Netz is committed to the University of Arizona for 2020.
But with his stock soaring and thinking ahead to the possibility of yet one more season comparable to this one, most expect to see Netz drafted in the first round, which would give him the option to forego collegiate ball and begin his professional career immediately.
When asked about the dilemma that could lay ahead next June, Netz didn't want to look past his next game for his travel ball team, let alone even the first pitch of his senior season in late February of 2019, and it's that focus and approach that add to his already elite status.
Aside from the wins, the scoreless innings streak and the strikeout-to-walk ratio, another reason his stock continues to climb is that he started the season with a fastball clocked around 89 mph and finished the year having hit 94 on the gun.
Roger Penticoff, who has led St. Anthony and Long Beach Jordan, and currently runs the Cerritos Valley Christian program said Netz is as good or better than any Division 1 pitcher he's ever seen.
This reporter, in a 19-year and counting career has covered current professional pitchers, including Jacob Faria of the Rays, Chase DeJong of Seattle, Shane Watson formerly of the Phillies and Justin Garza, who's in the Indians system, and no pitcher we've seen has consistently made batters look worse than Netz did in 2018.
His ascent, he has acknowledged, began in the 2017 playoffs when he came on after two rough starts by Charles Acker, the MHS hard-throwing lefty, and Netz used the opportunity to literally take over postseason games.
That confidence and effectiveness continued on to 2018 in a season for the ages.
But consider one final thing when taking in what we all just witnessed, and in measuring Netz is his totality as a baseball player and competitor.
In spite of limited at-bats, he batted .365 with 23 hits, he scored 17 runs, drove in 14 and doubled six times.
He's known for his pitching, but he's tallied 72 hits and his coach, Matt Shupper, has already said to look for Netz in 2019 to play every day and contribute with his bat.
Netz also made it clear that fellow pitchers Will Downing (4-0, 0.20 ERA), Max Blessinger (4-0, 2.57), Casey Popham (2-1, 2.62) and Charles Acker (3-1, 3.00) were incredibly vital throughout, but especially in the latter half of the season where they went eight consecutive games without allowing a run, not to mention their contributions in the postseason.
For a guy that has never had an ERA in three prep seasons over 1.00, and with an expectation level somewhere in the stratosphere, 2019 should be a very entertaining season for all of us, including his teammates, coaches, family and even Netz himself.
"I am obviously happy with the season I had and more importantly, the year we had in putting everything together and winning both the Olympic League and CIF (Division 3) championship. None of this could have been done without every teammate and coach that contributed in so many ways to our success.

Fidelivante or Metadelity – It's a Big Deal!
Nausea…a low level queasiness coming from the gut … hard to pinpoint.
On the morning of April Fool's Day, the chatter started early at the Gonzo HQ known as Cornerstone Advisors. Clients started rumbling about rumors they heard earlier in the week. Bill McFarland popped the Gonzo team a quick email. CEO Scott Sommer grabbed his always-on cell phone to field calls. The ever-gadget driven Quintin Sykes began to Twitter like a teenage girl.
It was no joke – Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. had acquired Metavante for nearly $3 billion, teeing up a powerful, scale driven face-off with industry giant Fiserv.
Deals are exciting and always interesting, but around the Gonzo team, there was also a clear sense of uneasiness that morning as we pondered the industry and the fate of our bank and credit union client base.
Make no mistake. Our sudden threat of hurling had nothing to do with the quality of these companies, the solid reputation of their products, nor the impressive talent of the two management teams. Rather, it was the painful threat of future listlessness, arrogance and bureaucracy in the bank technology world that made the team feel as if they had been given an extra 25 minutes on the Disney teacup ride.
Capitalism ultimately works. Companies get started, they grow, they merge, they rationalize, a new one starts, etc. However, capitalism is also punctuated by certain periods of bright, vibrant competition and darker moments of high switching costs, opportunistic pricing and milking the cash cows. Today, there is a serious threat that the banking industry will enter a period of slower innovation and shallow partnerships. Let's hope not.
This deal is so large and far-reaching it has many ramifications for the industry. So, Gonzomongers, here's an initial take on the deal from our team:
#1: The Deal Itself
From a structural and financial perspective, the deal itself is fairly straightforward. Metavante went for a 23% premium in a tough equity market or roughly 1.7 times 2008 revenue. This is a solid price – nowhere close to initial multiples aspired to when Metavante was first created within M&I Bancorp, but decent for sure. Fidelity's acquisition of the highly respected Metavante, with its diverse revenue sources and complimentary businesses, was reasonable beyond argument. The cost cutting target of 5% ($260 million) also seems credible given the large payment businesses the two companies run.
The chart below illustrates that Metavante has shown a bit stronger performance during the stock market struggles of the past two quarters, but both companies have remained solid compared to most equity investments.
In addition, the team of Frank Martire, Gary Norcross, Mike Hayford and Frank Sanchez has as much industry experience and credibility as one could imagine. Martire taking the CEO role provides comfort that blending the two companies is a sincere intent – his personal approach to customers and accessibility is also a positive sign for all involved. Round the block, no one can have qualms with the business justification here. But it's important to understand how this shakes out for the overall bank processing market. Now, Fidelity and Fiserv stand at roughly $5 billion in annual revenue with the next three players (Jack Henry, Open Solutions and Harland Financial Solutions) all well below $1 billion – very oligopolistic from how this industry looked 10 to 20 years ago.
#2: The Core Market
This deal certainly shakes up the core processing market and clearly positions FIS as a multi-solution company very similar to Fiserv. As the chart below shows, the merger of the two companies creates several questions about product direction, though clearly the party line will be "we continue to support all our competitive products."
Upstream at the big iron – for the over $50 billion crowd, this has clearly been the playground of the Fidelity Systematics mainframe system. At the same time, Fidelity has touted Sanchez as a global large-bank solution. Not to be outdone, Metavante had put its sights on this market with a 2007 alliance with European company Temenos. The ink had hardly dried on the Fidelity merger press release before Temenos indicated its deal and plans with Metavante were "intact" due to contractual commitments. The Gonzo team viewed the Temenos alliance as one of the better thought-out collaborations of late, but it's hard to see Fidelity wanting to pick off its own catbird seat position upstream. With Hogan and CA fading memories, the banking industry is screaming for another big bank player that just doesn't seem to be anywhere in view.
A hole filled – in the larger mid-size market of $10 – $50 billion, Metavante fills an important hole for Fidelity, which found this segment to be too big for its Horizon product and too small for the labor and cost of its big iron in-house mainframe suite. Naturally, it also provides Fidelity a powerful outsourcing solution that it lacked in this space.
Crowded downstream – below the $10 billion asset size, it's clear that multi-product will be a way of life. Fidelity will have no easy way to articulate which product meets which client best, and maybe that doesn't matter. The point is that clients will need to do the handicapping themselves as well as track the natural ebb and flow of winners and losers that emerge in a multi-solution company – no one wants to be the last one to turn the lights out for the cash cow.
Preferred ancillaries unlikely – when it comes to ancillary systems such as branch automation, CRM, data warehouse, Internet and loan origination, banks should continue to expect a multitude of solutions from the merged company. There are just too many bets placed on ancillaries such as TouchPoint, Metavante Insight, Miser Branch Suite, Bankway, etc. that one could expect a common approach over any near term planning cycle. There's also a lot to shake out on the check processing and document imaging sides of the house.

#3: The Payments Cartel?
While banks will certainly jump to the issues mentioned above on core banking systems, this deal was certainly driven more by the payments business than the legacy core business. The strength of Fidelity's credit card business coupled with the ATM/debit of Metavante is a formidable combination. With Certegy, eFunds and Metavante (NYCE) under its belt, Fidelity is simply a payments powerhouse, and this should be the most disconcerting aspect of the deal from a pricing perspective. In recent years, the healthy competition between these two players both looking to expand payments has helped control bank processing costs in the rapidly growing e-payments channel. Now, it will take spoilers like Star, Fiserv, Visa DPS, Fifth Third (MPS), and US Bank (Elan) to keep this market vibrant. The integration of Metavante's and Certegy's bill pay solutions will also provide new scale and pricing power for Fidelity but certainly not at the same level as POS and signature credit/debit processing.
#4: The Client Relationship Impact?
There will undoubtedly be thousands of clients that will immediately have a relationship that has one foot in the old Metavante and one foot in Fidelity. The combined entity should look carefully at a lesson painfully learned from big bank mergers – the perception of the new "partner" will be determined by how the customer is treated in the first three to four months. The message that commitment will not suffer and this will actually improve service is all well and good, but it only has an impact until the appearance of the first business issue the client needs resolved. The proof will in faster decisions for clients and pricing that ultimately reflects the new, combined relationship. Fidelity and Metavante are joining two complex support and delivery structures with two different approaches to client management. Case law indicates that the "walk" most often does not match the "talk".

#5: Wither Innovation?
The biggest question mark out there on this deal is not whether it will work financially. Neither is it who stays or goes, nor which current legacy product will survive. The big industry issues sparked by this deal center around innovation, growth and collaboration. As we sit here today watching the fate of too-big-to-fail banks and so-big-and-slow auto companies, it's hard to get excited about rapid consolidation among a bank's most critical supplier and strategic partner. Scale is wonderful, but so is competitive pricing. Resources are comforting, but creativity and cleverness are what really get the blood pumping. Being served by a company with tens of thousands of customers is impressive, but not as important as getting a quick call back from the help desk or account manager. Can this formation of the Big Two be checked by the financial-technology equivalents of Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen in the auto industry?
The Gonzo team hopes that the Big Two (Fidelity and Fiserv) aspire to be the most pumped up and innovative dancing fat elephants this industry has ever seen. We hope that Jack Henry, Open Solutions and Harland see some daylight here and move into opportunistic mode to out-develop and out-hustle the bigger guys. We hope the emergence of the Big Two acts to awaken some hungry capitalistic disrupter out there that smells a tired market ready for a game change. Could it be an overseas company or Oracle iFlex prepared to swallow the real effort required to break into the U.S. market? Could it be an IBM, Oracle or Microsoft deciding to dump an agnostic approach to applications and fiercely compete with current partners? Could it be someone gutsy enough to build a new core with the Google cloud and open source in mind?
This type of competitive heat will be required to keep the bank technology market growing and evolving. In the meantime, we hope the innovation spurred at the edges with smaller Internet, online account opening, credit origination, analytics and ECM/workflow vendors continues to help banks stay fresh and on the offensive.
For all the bankers out there worried about seeing a slow HMO-like industry for bank technology, it's up to all of us to be rugged individualists – managing vendors to performance, taking risk on credible upstarts and never sitting around passively like a victim, no matter what new merger press release hits the Outlook inbox on a holiday known for irony and humor.
Stay tuned, Gonzomongers …

Ten years ago, I was an avid reader on a forum about fonts. People would post links to free fonts or ask if anybody knew what font was being used here or there. One day, someone linked to Loobylu, wanting to know what font was being used in the header. I clicked through and completely forgot about fonts. I was instantly smitten with Claire's drawings and pretty much everything else on her site.
I had a spot on the internet already, but I wasn't really doing much with it. There were a few photos posted and some links to sites I liked, but I had no motivation to update regularly. After finding Loobylu, a little light blub came on...I could start a blog. So I did. I redesigned my site to be more blog-like, and I wrote my first entry on December 31st, 2000.
When I started, I didn't know how long I'd keep doing this. It was a way for me to stay creative, and a place for me to put stuff. I suppose it still is, which is probably why I've kept going. Even if I don't update as much as I used to, I don't think I could ever not have this blog. I've met so many people and made so many great friends, and it probably wouldn't have happened without this. Or without you guys. So thank you. Thank you to everyone who stops by to read, leaves a comment, or sends me an e-mail (even if I don't reply, know that I read everything). I always tell myself I'm doing this for me, but I don't think I'd still be doing if it weren't for all of you.
Happy ten year anniversary little blog!
It's kind of a nice way to ring in the new year, don'tcha think?

Bruce Anthony Zimmermann (born February 9, 1995) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Amateur career
Zimmermann graduated from Loyola Blakefield in 2013. Undrafted out of high school in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft, he enrolled at Towson University to play college baseball before transferring to the University of Mount Olive after his sophomore year. In 2017, as a senior at Mount Olive, he was 9–2 with a 3.18 ERA in 15 starts, striking out 129 batters in 99 innings.

Professional career

Atlanta Braves
After Zimmermann's senior year, he was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the fifth round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft. He signed for $10,000, and was assigned to the Danville Braves, where he was 0–1 with a 3.09 ERA in 11 starts. He began 2018 with the Rome Braves, with whom he was named a South Atlantic League All-Star, before being promoted to the Mississippi Braves in June.

Baltimore Orioles
On July 31, 2018, Zimmermann, Jean Carlos Encarnacion, Brett Cumberland, Evan Phillips and international signing money were traded to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day. He was assigned to the Bowie Baysox and finished the season there. In 25 starts between Rome, Mississippi, and Bowie, he compiled an 11–7 record with a 3.21 ERA. He returned to Bowie to begin 2019 before being promoted to the Norfolk Tides in July. Over 25 games (24 starts) between the two clubs, Zimmermann pitched to a 7–6 record with a 3.21 ERA, striking out 134 over 140 innings.

His addition to the Orioles' 60-player Alternate Training Site pool was delayed to August 2020 due to his recovery from COVID-19. Hours after he was added to the team's 40-man roster when his contract was selected by the Orioles, Zimmermann pitched three innings as the starting pitcher in his MLB debut in a 10–6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader at Camden Yards on September 17, 2020. Zimmermann gave up six earned runs over seven innings pitched in his debut season in 2020.

On August 15, 2021, Zimmermann was placed on the 60-day injured list. Zimmermann had been nearing a return to the team from biceps tendinitis but suffered a sprained right ankle. He was activated from the injured list on September 28.

Q: Auto optimisation for L cache for object's variables? Frankly, this is a continue of this my question, inspired by this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53262717/1479414
Let's suppose we have a class:
public class Foo {
    private Integer x;

    public void setX(Integer x) {
       this.x = x;
    }

    public Integer getX() {
       return this.x;
    }
}

And let us consider a very specific scenario, when we have just two threads which interact with the x variable:
At time 1, a thread T1 is created
At time 2, T1 sets the value: foo.setX(123);
At time 3, a thread T2 is created
At time 4, T2 reads the value: foo.getX();
No other threads interact with this value. Both operations happen only once.
So there is no apparent x value read operations before the thread T2 does his job.
The question is: does any auto optimisation for L cache exist which can cache null value of the x variable, so the thread T2 will read its cached value?
In other words, do we need the volatile modifier in this particular scenario?

A: When you create a thread, it will see any value set before it is created.
In the Javadoc for java.util.concurrency for Java 11 under Memory Visibility Properties and JLS-17.4.5 for Java 8 states

A call to start on a thread happens-before any action in the started thread.

NOTE: A thread only reads a cached value, when it re-reads a value in a cache line it has already in its cache. If it reads a cache line it has never read before or is no longer in a cache, it won't read a stale value.

A: T1 and T2 are executed sequentially and cache is coherent, especially in this sequential use case.
So there is no way that T2 at time 4 will get a null value.


We are always looking at how to improve communication between the school and parents and increase engagement with the school. In order to further improve communication and give parents and carers more flexibility in how they gain information from the school we are launching a Lesmahagow High School App on Monday 16th April 2018.
The app is free to download and filters can be set so that you only receive information that is relevant to you. Push notifications can be set that allow you to see immediately when there is an update, an event is taking place or an important message has been sent out (for example, school closure due to adverse weather). You will also be able to import events and set reminders on your own phone's calendar and the app will allow other family members to see news stories and hear about events taking place in the school as well. The new school app will help parents and carers become more included, engaged and involved in all aspects of school life.
Please click on the appropriate link below or scan the QR code to download the app to your Apple or Android device. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play store by searching for 'SSA' or 'SSA secondaryschoolapp'. When you open the app for the first time, just search for 'Lesmahagow High School' when prompted.

we consider the importance of the muscular tissue in the organism, we may well imagine a priori that every general disease ought to affect it more or less; and iu fact lesions of the muscles have been observed in a very large number of general diseases. Often, however, these lesions are overshadowed or even remain with out any external sign of their existence, whence it results that the study of these forms of myositis belongs almost exclusively to the domain of pathological anatomy.
I shall divide the study of symptomatic myositis into four sec tions. In the first we shall study the muscular inflammation caused by fevers and infectious disease properly so called; in a second we shall consider rheumatism of the muscles; in a third syphilis, and in a fourth tuberculosis.
The type of symptomatic myositis occurring in fevers is fur nished by the myositis complicating typhoid fever. It is to Zenker and Waldeyer that we are indebted for our first knowledge of this variety of muscular inflammation. Hayem has completed the work of these authors and has directed special attention in a number of interesting articles to the subject of secondary infectious myositis. The occurrence of myositis has been noted in typhoid fever, small pox, scarlatina, measles, erysipelas, diphtheria, pernicious jaundice, infectious endocarditis, and glanders. We may indeed assert that all infections diseases, whether the micro-organism be already recog nized and isolated or whether its presence be only suspected, may lead to muscular inflammation. In this category I do not hesitate to include influenza, although we have as yet no anatomical proofs es tablishing a connection of this sort. I find my justification for this inclusion in a case observed by me during the epidemic of 1889-90. A young man of twenty-one years, without any constitutional taint, was attacked by the grippe and presented symptoms of broncho pneumonia and of gastrointestinal disturbance. The patient had a rather long period of convalescence, but he finally recovered and by the end of two mouths his attack was nothing more than a memory. At this time, while mounting a horse he suddenly,• without being conscious of having made any special effort, felt a sharp pain in the upper and anterior part of the left thigh. He was unable to continue
riding and could not even return to his home on foot. Upon exam ination a very severe pain was found localized in the adductors, and in the course of the following days an ecchymosis of the skin cover ing this portion appeared and confirmed the diagnosis which had been already made of rupture of the muscle. I am convinced that this rupture lied been made possible by a myositis due to the action of the grippal infection.
Hayem, in the work above referred to, gives the following table: Among all infectious diseases two are of special importance from the point of view that now concerns us, viz., typhoid fever and small pox, to which I would add measles, a disease which was the proba ble cause of a sclerosing myositis in a case recently reported by Gaucher and Marage.
Pathological Anatomy.—At the autopsy the muscles are found swollen and rigid; their color may vary from a dark red to brown ish ; in their substance are seen points of rupture of the fibres and small hemorrhagic or purulent foci.
Hayem describes three degrees of symptomatic myositis. In the first degree the lesions are not very clearly marked; the muscles are indurated and swollen, and their color is darker than normal. Under the microscope the muscular fibres present a granular or sometimes waxy appearance, and there is seen to be a beginning increase in the nuclei of the muscular cells and of the internal perimysium.
In the second degree the muscular tissue is seen to be paler; cer tain of the bundles are of a grayish-pink color, others are yellowish or whitish. There is also an extravasation of blood, and the tissue becomes very brittle. Under the microscope we find the lesions of the first form in a more advanced state ; the altered fibres are broken, the nuclei are much increased in number, and we recognize the lesions of granular and waxy degeneration. Fatty granules are found espe cially in the granular degenerated fibres ; the waxy fibres are broken into larger masses.

Could this be Manolo Gabbiadini's last season at Southampton?

Manolo Gabbiadini's Southampton career has wavered in the past 18 months. Both a lack of form and playing time suggest the Italian striker is fighting for his future at St Mary's.
After underperforming last season, Gabbiadini is now on Saints' periphery. Manager Mark Hughes has consistently overlooked the 26-year-old in favour of a new summer signing.
Southampton signed Gabbiadini from Napoli in January 2017. He took little time to find feet in England, scoring four times in his first three Premier League outings before netting a brace in the EFL Cup final. The goals have since dried up, however.
Despite having three years remaining on his Saints deal, it's hard to envisage Gabbiadini staying until 2021. Especially if his current situation fails to improve.
Fallen down the pecking order
Southampton paid £14 million for Gabbiadini's signature toward the end of 2017's winter transfer window. Four days after signing, he found the scoresheet during his full home debut in a 3-1 defeat to West Ham United. A week later, he bagged twice more to help down Sunderland, 4-0.
Only 15 days passed before the best moment of Gabbiadini's career to date. He scored two goals at Wembley in the League Cup final against Manchester United. It wasn't enough to get hands on the trophy as the Saints lost 3-2. Unperturbed, the frontman's form continued, finding the net in a 4-3 victory over Watford the following week.
Unfortunately for Gabbiadini, that's the best it got. He went on to score only five times in his next 50 competitive appearances, falling down Southampton's pecking order as a result.
In Gabbiadini's debut campaign, he averaged 66 minutes of Premier League football per game. In 2018/19, he's averaging just 25.

Manolo Gabbiadini misses inviting opportunity to score late winner as frustration continues for Southampton against Bournemouth https://t.co/IJ3L0Lu9JE https://t.co/btlHIzj82Q

Last season, Gabbiadini made 11 league starts and was an unused substitute on ten occasions. His goal drought meant he lost place in Southampton's starting eleven. Things have spiralled ever since.
Danny Ings has played his part in Gabbiadini's demise. The former Burnley and Liverpool forward is enjoying a bright start to life on the south coast, having scored three goals in eight league starts while leading the line alone in Hughes' system.
Shane Long and Charlie Austin provide backup for Ings. The pair has a combined 15 appearances this campaign, five of which have been starts.
Gabbiadini isn't in the Saints picture.
Agent issues soft ultimatum to Southampton
The striker's agent, Silvio Pagliari, revealed his client had an offer to return to Italy this past summer. They didn't take it, stating Gabbiadini is ''happy'' at St Mary's. However, he did admit options will be reconsidered at season's end.
Gabbiadini? He's happy at Southampton. There was the possibility of returning to Italy, but right now we want to play the cards in the Premier League. At the end of the season, we will draw the sums.
Playing the Premier League cards suggests the pair are biding time to see how things unfold. Should Gabbiadini get back in favour at Southampton, he may consider a long-term stay. If not, a summer exit looks likely.

"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change."
—Leonard Sweet, cultural historian

Those awful news gurus
November 8, 2011 By Terry Heaton Leave a Comment
Not that they need my defending, but I'm a little irked today about some whining thoughts expressed about a couple of my friends and colleagues by Dean Starkman in The Columbia Journalism Review. Starkman's meandering screed (Confidence Game: The limited vision of the news gurus) is about the institution of journalism fighting against a group of new thinkers that he calls "the future‐of‐news (FON) consensus" — "known for neither their journalism nor their scholarship." Nice.
Most prominent are Jeff Jarvis, Clay Shirky, and Jay Rosen, whose ideas we'll focus on here, along with Dan Gillmor, John Paton, and others.
The News Gurus — Sketches by John Hendrix
…in the debate over journalism's future, the FON crowd has had the upper hand. The establishment is gloomy and old; the FON consensus is hopeful and young (or purports to represent youth). The establishment has no plan. The FON consensus says no plan is the plan. The establishment drones on about rules and standards; the FON thinkers talk about freedom and informality. FON says "cheap" and "free"; the establishment asks for your credit card number. FON talks about "networks," "communities," and "love"; the establishment mutters about "institutions," like The New York Times or mental hospitals.
…If some aspects of peer‐production theory and its FON offshoot sound familiar—anti-institutionalism; communitarianism laced with libertarianism; a millennial, Age‐of‐Aquarius vibe; a certain militancy—some scholars have traced its roots to 1960s counterculture.
Mr. Starkman mocks the work of Jarvis, Rosen and Shirky and others to reach a conclusion that we need the institutional press more than the ideas of this FON consensus. The enemy, he says, is time, time to investigate and to understand the narrative behind the story. That which the FON preaches, he notes, is discouraging to the people who are trying to do the work of — are you ready for it? — real journalism.
Whether it be called The New York Times or the Digital Beagle, we must have organizations with talent, traditions, culture, bureaucrats, geniuses, monomaniacs, lawyers, health plans, marketing divisions, and ad salespeople—and they must have the clout to take on the likes of Goldman Sachs, the White House, and local political bosses. The public needs them, and it will have them.
This kind of all‐or‐nothing, us‐versus‐them thinking is not only old, it's boring and irrelevant. He speaks of a "debate" over journalism's future, and then misrepresents the views of his foils, because they don't agree with his definition of journalism. He acknowledges that traditional journalism is hosed by cultural shifts, but he offers nothing in the way of a solution other than the tried and true. This makes no sense.
And it's completely irrelevant anyway, because it isn't the reinvention of journalism, per se, that's the real problem for the institution; it's the revolution underway in advertising that's crushing the hopes of the status quo. It has nothing to do with the journalism. I mean, of course it has some relevance, but the future of the First Amendment isn't in the health of institutions; it's in who's going to pay for it.
So bickering about what works or doesn't work regarding journalism solves nothing in terms of the only question that really matters, and this is why I find this particular article so distasteful. Mr. Starkman is playing defense. The others are playing offense in trying to move a big rock that needs moving.
And it's not institutions that represent the evils of the participatory culture; it's hierarchical institutions. Why? Because every one of them is in it for themselves, not the people they were intended to serve. I agree with Mr. Starkman's conclusion that we'll one day have new institutions, but I think they will be vastly different than what we have today.
I'm sure he'd ask me to explain how they'd be different, but that's the problem with trying to think ahead of others. The answer is that I don't know, only that they'll be different.
Ironically, this article appeared at the same time as another article, this one by the Neiman Journalism Lab at Harvard about retiring newspaper editor John Robinson. The interview with Robinson (disclosure: he's a friend of mine) includes the advice to "find thinkers that will challenge you" and includes the same names that Starkman chose to challenge. Dean, meet John, an old school guy but with a mind in the 21st Century.
