I feel for the authors here and find it appalling that American Libraries would do this. Here's my bit to help get the word out….
As a professional rule, I try to keep things positive. I like to be a cheerleader for all the great people out there and avoid boosting the signal on a bunch of negativity.
However, situations compel me to devote this one post to something totally crappy.
TL;DR: Patricia Hswe and I wrote an article for American Libraries and the editors added some quotes from a vendor talking about their products without telling us. We asked them to fix it and they said no.
Because American Libraries refused to clarify what happened, we decided to clarify it ourselves. What follows is our second (and hopefully happier) attempt at collaborative writing. This little blog does not have quite the reach of that big glossy magazine so please feel free to share as widely as you want. As always, let me know if you have any questions!

Kentucky Bone & Joint Surgeons offers comprehensive orthopedic services, from advanced diagnostics with state-of-the-art equipment to post-operative care. We offer many on-site conveniences including digital X-rays, casting, and bracing. This enables you to come directly to us when needing urgent orthopedic care, avoiding the costly expense of the emergency room.
Our Lexington orthopedic surgeons specialize in fracture care, ensuring that you experience the appropriate treatment based on your individual injury for complete healing of broken bones.
Though bones are comprised of the hardest tissue in the body, certain conditions such as too much pressure can cause them to fracture, limiting mobility and triggering pain. When shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or ankle injuries such as fractures and dislocations occur, rapid and proper treatment from an orthopedic specialist is essential for improved patient outcomes.
Whenever possible, our doctors utilize conservative treatments for conditions such as arthritis, including viscosupplementation and intra-articular steroid injections. Joint pain injections for osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and other orthopedic conditions help reduce pain and inflammation, improving mobility and range of motion.
When serious shoulder, hip or knee injuries occur or degenerative conditions worsen and non-surgical methods no longer provide relief, our surgeons perform reconstructive surgery of the joint to repair muscle, ligaments, tendons, and bones when possible or perform joint replacement when necessary.
For results-oriented treatments from outstanding board-certified orthopedic doctors in Lexington, KY, call (859) 276-5008 or request an appointment online.

Disney's 'The Rise Of Skywalker', 'The Mandalorian' receive Malaysia's VFX rebate
By Liz Shackleton2020-12-21T15:26:00+00:00
Source: Global Creative & Media Agency
Two Disney productions, Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (Episode IX) and The Mandalorian, have been approved for the 30% incentive under Malaysia's Film In Malaysia Incentive (FIMI) for VFX work.
The work was completed by Base Digital Production, the Kuala Lumpur-based subsidiary of Base Media, which also has offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. Base also accessed the incentive for it work on Michael Bay's Netflix action thriller Underground 6.
FIMI, which is operated by the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS), offers the 30% rebate on a total qualifying Malaysian production expenditure of $1.2m (MYR5m) for production (inclusive of post-production), or $360,000 (MYR1.5m) for post-production activity.
Base Media founder and CEO Chris Bremble said the company's Malaysian subsidiary has had a "positive first year" with several big productions and new hires and continues to be focused on local talent and management.
"We shifted our strategy a bit with the pandemic, and while unfortunate, we are confident we will quickly get back to growth," Bremble said. "The Malaysian government support has been a big factor in getting through the last few months and in planning, and we remain confident of our leadership position in the market."
Base Digital Production executive producer Aaron Cowan, who previously worked at New Zealand's WETA Digital, said: "We have a strong and capable team in Malaysia, and it is on par with the team that I was a part of in New Zealand ten years ago when WETA started."
In January 2020, Base Media entered into a strategic partnership with Chinese media conglomerate Sunac Culture Group. The company has a long-term relationship with Industrial Light & Magic and is currently working on its first animated feature, Wish Dragon, a co-production with Sony and Tencent, which is scheduled for release in early 2021.

I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returning to Gwrych Castle due to COVID travel restriction uncertainty | Ents & Arts News
Entertainment August 2, 2021 No Comments admin
TV show I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has said it is not returning to its Australian home this year, due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The ITV show will once again head to Gwrych Castle near Abergale in north Wales, with Australian borders still closed to foreigners.
I'm A Celeb's 2020 series, which was won by podcaster Giovanna Fletcher, was filmed in the UK for the first time as the ongoing pandemic forced producers to can plans to take the show to its usual home in Australia.
The castle was used in the 2020 series
Katie Rawcliffe, ITV head of entertainment commissioning, said: "We can confirm today that we'll be returning to Wales for the 2021 series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
"We've always said we have contingencies in place for the series if the COVID situation continued to bring uncertainty, and after a highly successful run at the castle last year we're pleased that we can return there.
"I have no doubt the production team will produce another hugely entertaining series."
Richard Cowles, director of unscripted at Lifted Entertainment, which makes the show, said: "With the continued uncertainty around COVID and international travel we have taken the decision not to return to our home in Australia for the 2021 series.
"We're excited to return to Gwrych Castle.
"The last series was a huge success and we were made to feel so welcome by everyone locally and can't wait to see everyone again."
The return of the show will help the ongoing restoration of the venue, Mark Baker, the chair of the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust said.
Ant and Dec will return to host the programme once again when it airs later in the year.
2021 will be the 19th year of the show, with I'm A Celeb celebrating its 20th anniversary next year.

We think one time or another we have all wanted to try our hand at an inside the house garden. Granted, we were thinking more along the lines of spices, in small pots, but when that was successful it did amp up the motivation a bit.
There are a lot more things out there to be grown and, during these cold days of winter, why not try to start an epic indoor garden? Tomatoes, lettuce, carrots… They don't just make a good salad but are great in those big pots of vegetable soup. It's a perfect winter dish!
But growing such things inside? You may ask about the difficulty level and we are here to say it's not as tough as you may think. Many indoor gardeners have seen great success!
After the break, go to the next page and check out seven awesome edibles a person can grow in their indoor winter garden! Spring and summer do not have a monopoly on our veggies any longer!

Firm to renovate schools in LCDA
Stephen Agwaibor
Sterling Homes Limited, a real estate firm, has said it will renovate 26 schools within Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area in Lagos State.
The Chief Executive Officer, of Sterling Homes Limited, Dr. Kunle Adeyemi, said this at the Children's Day celebration in Ilupeju Secondary School, Lagos.
The event also had in attendance the Vice-Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Seyi Jakande; Head of Department, Education, Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye LCDA, Mrs Lawal Aminat and other dignitaries.
Adeyemi disclosed that the event was in line with the company's values of being particular about the future and promoting excellence, exemplified by its investment in education.
He said, "We have been 11 years in existence as an organisation and every year our target has been to give back to the society, particularly school children.
"As an organisation this is one of our corporate social responsibilities. In the course of the year we are also doing face-lifting to about 26 schools in Mushin LGA.
"What we are doing is to bring back this culture where children know that a day from 365 days is dedicated solely for them. We partnered with Lagos State Government, particularly Odi-Olowo LCDA and we have about 27 public schools here."
Also speaking at the event, the Vice-Chairman of the LCDA, Seyi Jakande, who delivered the keynote address on behalf of the Chairman, Hon. Rasaq Ajala, said that he was delighted to be part of the celebrations.
He said, "The most important resource in any society is the children's population and human capital.

"For society to be set on the path of greatness, it must start by stimulating children's interest in qualitative education and positive engagement of their energies," Jakande said.
He advised parents to focus on their children and lead good examples to forestall them from inculcating social vices.
He added, "I would like to advise parents to enforce discipline on their children. Parents should live exemplary lives and be a mirror to their children.
"School authorities should have high standards of discipline and stringent punishments for misbehaviour. This will serve as a solution to end cultism and other vices plaguing our society today," Jakande added.
He implored parents to perform their civic duties of paying their rates when due, in order to meet up with the administration's commitment to provide the benefits of governance for children and residents at large.

Many receptors elicit signal transduction by activating multiple intracellular pathways. This transduction may be triggered by a nonspecific ligand, which simultaneously activates all receptor's signaling paths. In addition, the binding of a biased ligand preferentially elicits one path over another, in a process called biased signaling. Identifying the functional motions related to each one of these distinct pathways have direct impact in the development of new efficient and specific drugs. Here we show how to detect functional motions considering the case of the NGF/TrkA-Ig2 complex. TrkA receptors activation mediated by NGF depends on specific structural motions that trigger neuronal growth, development and survival in nervous system. R221W mutation in the ngf gene impairs the nociceptive signaling. Here we show the wide spread structural effects of this mutation in the NGF/TrkA-Ig2 complex, leading to the deletion of collective motions important to TrkA activation of nociceptive signaling. Our results suggest that subtle changes in the interaction network within neurotrophic factors due to the point mutation are sufficient to inhibit necessary conformational changes for TrkA receptors activation. The methodological approach presented in this article based conjunctively on normal mode analysis and the experimentally observed functional alterations due to point mutations provides an essential tool for unveiling the structural changes and motions related to the disease, that in turn could be important for a drug design study.


In the world of blogging most times those who work hard to create the best contents aren't really the ones who earn more. There is a difference between working hard and working smart according to the author of shoutmeloud, Harsh Agrawal. In my own case I advise bloggers who wants to earn a living from blogging to work hard and smart at the same time because you can only become successful when you find the central point between these two factors.
If you are an adsense publisher, then you must work very hard to produce quality contents that will enable you increase your earnings through clicks. When I started blogging my CTR percent was very high but I end up getting a few dollars from those clicks. You can imagine how frustrating that could be right?
How would you feel when your estimated earnings stand at $0.8 dollars from 30 daily clicks? Your answer is as good as mine! Awful! Right? But the truth is this is not your fault and you are not entirely responsible for this.
The main cause of your low earnings is closely tied to low CPC (cost per click), but the reality is often times we don't pay attention to the simple tricks that would make us earn high from Google Adsense.
That's why in this article I am going to tell you how you can increase your CPC after a thorough research and chats with top tech bloggers. Now just sit back and relax as I walk you through these simple steps on how to increase your adsense earnings.
Before we go further I would like to inform you that Google doesn't pay an average amount for clicks, no! CPC are always content related (Keywords). Isn't it so funny that you earn $5 per click at some point while at another time you earn $0.05? This is entirely dependent on the ads your site visitors click; if they click on ads with high paying keywords you get a good payment.
High paying keywords are keywords on your blog content that has high CPC that advertises are bidding for to appear on a publisher's website. So the more high CPC-keywords on your blog, the more money you can earn from Google Adsense. The next question on your mind now is; which are the high paying keywords? Right?
Now before I tell you how to get these high paying CPC-keywords I would like to tell you that the more targeted traffic your blog receives, the more money you will make.
You may find these high CPC-keywords but you still may not see significant increase on your Adsense earnings because for earnings to increase you must search for the high paying targeted keywords that will generate more traffic to your blog. If advertisers are not bidding for ads showing on your blog your CPC will always be low.
Now let me give you an illustration, the highest paying keywords are; insurance, law, Donation, Loans, Hosting etc. But how can you earn from these keywords when they are not related to your blogging niche?
Even if you are an insurance or donation writer do you think you can rank on these keywords when there are other big blogs out there?
Now let me introduce you to SEMrush, a tool that will help you analyse your domain and help you find targeted and high paying CPC.
This tool will help you find the high CPC-keywords your blog is ranking for and will help you find their charts and graphical details. The tool shows you the graphical representation of search volume, trends, number of search results etc.
To get SEMrush to analyse your domain, just visit SEMrush and enter your domain and you will find out how great SEMrush works.
Below is the statistical data of my blog.
Now let me show you how you can increase your adsense earnings with this great tool by finding high paying CPC-keywords. But before we go further, go and create a SEMrush account and get a list of authority blogs that is related to your blogging niche.
Now click "view full report" from "TOP KEYWORDS" and SEMrush will display the keywords that are driving traffic to your domain. Now to get the High CPC keywords, you have to click on the CPC tab. When you do this you will discover that most of the high CPC-keywords are long tail keywords.
Now start copying the high CPC keywords that are related to your blogging niche because these are your valuables. When you are done copying these keywords, the next thing is to write blog posts related to them. Please ensure you create a well doctored content around these keywords.
I sincerely hope with this article you will find high paying CPC related keywords and stat earning high revenue from Google Adsense.

Lands stripped from Utah monuments open to claims, leases
By The Associated Press and Brady Mccombs |
PUBLISHED: February 2, 2018 at 6:15 pm | UPDATED: May 18, 2018 at 9:55 am
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The window has opened for oil, gas, uranium and coal companies to make requests or stake claims to lands that were cut from two sprawling Utah national monuments by President Trump in December —but there doesn't appear to be a rush to seize the opportunities.
For anyone interested in the uranium on the lands removed from Bears Ears National Monument, all they need to do is stake a few corner posts in the ground and pay a few hundred dollars under a federal law created in 1872 that harkens back to the days of the Wild West.
It was unclear if anyone was doing that Friday.
The Bureau of Land Management declined repeated requests for information.
Steve Bloch, legal director of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, said he was told by the BLM Friday that inquiries were made but no claims sent in.

I have heard about Perfect Laser China for a long time, so when my company asked me to purchase a laser marker because of business needs, the first company that came in my head was Perfect Laser.
After exchanging a few emails with their foreign trade salesman, I decided to buy this portable optical fiber laser marker PEDB-400B. I was quite satisfied with the goods that i received. This machine weighs only 60kgs, which made it convenient for us to install and move. The air-cooled cooling method is more effective than the traditional water cooling. The marking speed is also 7000mm/s, quite fast and it has an efficient conversion rate. Moreover, the features of no power coupling loss and no consumable material greatly reduce our running cost. The marking depth of this laser marker can reach 1mm. I use it effectively on resistors, capacitors, chips, printed circuit boards thus, leaving the mark superclear forever. I'm so happy with the this invention and now its hard for me to imagine our daily working environment without this laser marker.

Easy-Listening Opens La Jolla SummerFest 2014
Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky [photo courtesy of La Jolla Music Society]
La Jolla's chic Prospect St. is lined with gourmet restaurants that feature a wide array of gastronomical pleasures, but at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Sherwood Auditorium, Friday's (August 1) opening concert of SummerFest 2014 offered wall-to-wall comfort food. From Dvorak's "Slavonic Dances" to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin coddled his audience with familiar offerings served with panache by world-class musicians.
Not unlike inviting Wolfgang Puck into your kitchen to whip up macaroni and cheese.
For the record, SummerFest's account of The Four Seasons proved as athletic and extroverted as you are likely to encounter in a chamber music setting. With the exception of the two cellists, all the string players performed standing and ceded leadership to the solo violinist in each concerto, this ensemble's sole accommodations to Baroque performance practice. Each soloist—one per season, of course—gave a different take on Vivaldi, although everyone appeared to agree that Allegro meant "as fast as possible" and Presto the same.
Lin started with "Spring," to which he lent his customary verve and silvery timbre, as well as his patented mystical incantation, notably in the slower sections. In "Summer," Alexander Kerr's slightly larger, more burnished sonority served him well in that concerto's vibrant, stormy sections, but he never lost his elegant sense of proportion.
In "Fall," Jennifer Frautschi sounded like she was channeling Max Bruch rather than an Italian Baroque master, her rhapsodic flourishes scattering bar lines like autumn leaves on a windy afternoon, although her plaintive cantilena in the middle movement unfolded with heartfelt allure. Following that proverbial dictum of saving the best for last, Kristen Lee's sublime, Apollonian "Winter" boasted a sumptuous but well-focused line that was undaunted by roiling figurations and soared with lyrical ardor in more relaxed tempos. She is new this season to SummerFest, and she is an astounding find. Brava!
Opening the concert and the festival with back-to-back piano four-hand suites left some audience members wishing they had ordered a double expresso after dinner. Although I could not fault the refined and exquisitely detailed performances offered by pianists Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky—four movements from Antonin Dvorak's "Slavonic Dances," Op. 46, and the six tongue-in-cheek sections of Gabriel Fauré's Dolly Suite—these lightweight movements droned on in mind-distracting understatement.
Beethoven's Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano, Op. 11, is not one of his more profound statements, but clarinetist Burt Hara pursued his assignment with the noble intentions he or any of his woodwind colleagues would apply to, say, the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. He allowed the lithe, jaunty themes of the Trio's opening movement their playful moments, as did pianist Polonsky. Cellist Eric Kim treated the second movement as a sparkling cello aria whose thunder was snatched away when the clarinet took over the airy theme.
I am hoping the Beethoven Trio proves the omen for the remainder of SummerFest 2014, which continues at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Sherwood Auditorium and other La Jolla venues through August 22.

Chequered flag in sight: how Max Verstappen closed in on F1 title
Giles Richards
Photograph: Mark Thompson/Getty Images
There is an aura of calm around Max Verstappen that, intriguingly, completely belies the intensity of his Formula One world championship title fight with Lewis Hamilton. It is this composed ability to deal with pressure, to recover from setbacks and find peak performance time after time, that has put him within striking distance of his first title, one which he could claim at Sunday's debut Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Yet alongside this maturity, this mental fortitude, there is also a boyish, eager thrill at simply being in the fight and it has been an infectious joy. A combination that he also clearly takes pleasure in as he summed up his attitude earlier this year.
Related: Lewis Hamilton condemns 'terrifying' LGBTQ+ laws before Saudi Arabian GP
"I knew if I had a car capable of fighting for the title I would be up there and that is showing," he says. "It's a natural thing. I know what I have to do to be quick on a track. I don't need to overthink or stress out about a lot of things to be quick."
Still only 24, Verstappen is now in his seventh season in F1. A feat in itself, somewhat hard to comprehend, achieved because he became the sport's youngest driver at 17, in 2015. He has since amassed a huge amount of experience while still young and that too has been vital in his title challenge.
Two races remain this season and having delivered a series of commanding and compelling victories, Verstappen leads Hamilton by eight points. He can take the title this weekend if he wins and takes the fastest lap and Hamilton finishes sixth or lower, if he wins without the fastest lap and Hamilton finishes seventh or lower, or if he outscores Hamilton by 18 points.
With so little to choose between the two protagonists, the most likely result is their fight will go to wire at the final round next weekend in Abu Dhabi and Verstappen plays down any such thoughts of claiming the title in Jeddah, instead focusing on the here and now.
"You have to perform and do well every weekend," he says. "I always try to win the race, but the most important thing is that we are still on top after Abu Dhabi."
This is an approach that has served him well through a season that has been a rollercoaster ride between the two drivers, with the lead changing hands five times but during which Verstappen has maintained admirable equilibrium. Speaking to him in July before the Austrian GP, his focus was clear and it was a world away from the overenthusiastic, and sometimes dangerous attitude that had earned him the "Mad Max" moniker early in his career.

"You cannot have retirements or make mistakes where you lose a lot of points, it can kill a championship," he said. "I know that. Lewis has been like this for a long time, he has been very consistent and that is how you win championships."
Hamilton in turn has acknowledged that beating Verstappen this year would be his greatest championship victory. The world champion had opened strongly taking an early lead with three wins in four races but Verstappen hit back and left Austria at the start of July with his third win in a row and his fourth in five races. He had taken a 32-point lead over Hamilton and his Red Bull car appeared to have an edge on every type of track. Yet there was a long way to go.
At the next round in Silverstone Hamilton collided with him, causing Verstappen to crash out and for which Hamilton was penalised. Then in Hungary Verstappen was not at fault when he took damage after being hit in a first-corner incident. As they went into the mid-season break, Hamilton had retaken the lead by eight points. A lesser challenger might have crumbled.

Adrian Newey, Red Bull's car designer and chief technical officer, recognised however that Verstappen had the right mentality. "He has the same steely grit that any world champion needs to dig in and keep going in the face of adversity," he said. "If things go wrong he can put that behind him and look forward to the next one. He's matured into a great racer."
He showed this clearly when coming back to take four wins and two second places in the next seven races. The blip in that run was of course Monza where he was found at fault when, uncompromising in trying to pass Hamilton, he crashed into him. It was the Verstappen who still insists he will go for a gap and is unafraid to put his elbows out to do it. Hamilton's refusal to give way was a significant statement in that the Dutchman would have to think hard when going up against the world champion in future.
Once more Verstappen reset, once more he delivered, the incident consigned to history although with the lesson learned, and the points kept coming. His relentless effectiveness at scoring even when Hamilton has been on top has been crucial. In the six races since Monza in early September, he has not finished lower than second, including in Russia where he started at the back after a grid penalty.
Seven second places across the season have helped put him in this position but he knows that if Hamilton wins these last two grand prix, second will not be enough.
The stakes are high then, the tension ramping up across every session but in Jeddah a clearly relaxed Verstappen was ready to go racing with an ease that has taken him this far and may yet help him finish the job.
Hamilton had the edge when the drivers took to the street circuit for the first time this weekend in practice. He was five-hundredths up on Verstappen in FP1, with the Briton's Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in third.
U.S. attorney general to meet with Boeing 737 MAX crash victims' relatives
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to meet with relatives and lawyers of victims of fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes after some challenged a deferred prosecution agreement struck with the planemaker, the Justice Department said. In December, some victims' relatives said the Department had violated their rights when it struck the January 2021 agreement with Boeing over the two crashes in a five-month period that killed 346 people. They filed a motion arguing the United States government "lied and violated their rights through a secret process", and asked a U.S. judge to rescind Boeing's immunity from criminal prosecution, which was part of the $2.5 billion agreement, and order the planemaker publicly arraigned on the felony charges.

At the central economic work conference called at the end of 2017, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that, as the socialism with Chinese characteristics had come to the new era, the economic development in China had also entered a new era, and the basic feature was that the China's economy had shifted from the phase of rapid growth to the one of high-quality development. Promoting the high-quality development is the inevitable demand in maintaining the sustained and healthy development of economy, in adapting to the change of principal contradiction facing Chinese society and building a modern socialist country in all aspects, and in following the economic law in development. A deep understanding of the transition of China's economy to the phase of high-quality development is of important significance in deeply cognizing the high-quality development and powerfully promoting the high-quality development.
The transition to the high-quality development phase is the objective demand of the economic development of China coming to the new era. In essence, the economic development of China coming to the new era is that, after 40 years of unremitting efforts in reform and opening up, the economic scale of China has grown rapidly, and come to the new phase of history to change from big to strong. In the initial period of reform and opening up in the last century, as a country with the largest population in the world, China's economic aggregate ranked only at the eleventh place in the world. Today, China's economic aggregate has steadily ranked at the second place in the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China's economy development has marched to the new phase of transition from big to strong, a period to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects, and further, we will, on the basis of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all aspects, start the new march on the construction of a modern socialist country in an all-round way. The economic foundation of a modern socialist country is the significant improvement of the level of social productive capacity, and the core is the high quality of economic development. If at the beginning of reform and opening up the primary issue in economic development of China was insufficient quantity, so we needed "fast", then, the primary issue in the new era is to achieve high quality development, so we must stress on "good" first.
The transition to the high-quality development is the objective demand of the evolution of principal contradiction in society. In the report at the 19th National Congress of the CPC, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: "As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved. What we now face is the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life." In the initial period of reform and opening up, to solve the principal contradiction in society at that time, the "contradictions between the daily growing material and cultural demand of people and the backward social production", we had to develop social productive force as fast as possible, and our work in all aspects must cooperate with and follow the rapidly growing economy. After years of efforts, China's economic volume has significantly increased and its economic strength has significantly improved, the previous backward state of productivity has changed considerably, the factors restricting the development of productive force are more reflected by the unbalanced and inadequate development of economic and social development, especially, the sharp contradiction in the economic structure, the outstanding problems in production efficiency, the lagging behind construction of society and people's livelihood and the tightening restriction by resources and environment. To solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development, we must promote high-quality development. On the other side of the principal contradiction in society, i.e. the demand from the people, the ever-growing demand of people for a better life is multi-dimensional, including not only rich material and mental life, but also the guarantee and upgrading of democracy and rule of law, and of fairness and justice, and also including the demand for a safe and good ecological environment. Only by realizing high-quality development can we meet the higher demand from people for material and cultural life, and lay a solid material foundation for fully meeting the people's demand for a better life in all aspects. Therefore, under the condition that the principal contradiction in society has changed, promoting the high-quality development has become a critical measure to solve the principal contradiction in society, and the fundamental requirements to determine the development ideas, formulating economic policies and implementing macro level regulation at present and in a period to come in the future.
The transition to the high-quality development is the objective demand in properly doing the economic work at present. The central economic work conference called at the end of 2017 made all-round deployment to promote the high-quality development, and proposed work in 8 key areas including deepening the supply-side structural reform, stimulating the vitality of all forms of market players and implementing the rural vitalization strategy. As required by the 19th National Congress of the CPC, we must take tough steps to forestall and defuse major risks, carry out targeted poverty alleviation, and prevent and control pollution in the coming 3 years, and this also requires promoting high-quality development. For example, one of the main work tasks in forestalling and defusing major risks is to forestall and defuse financial risks, and guard the baseline that no systematic financial risk should occur. To forestall and defuse financial risks, we must work on two aspects, the first is to strengthen macro level regulation and financial oversight, and the second is to improve the asset quality, management quality and operation quality of the financial sector. Neither can be biased. For this purpose, finance must serve the main line of supply-side structural reform, better serve the real economy, and promote the favorable circulation of finance with real economy, finance with real estate and within the financial system; we must strengthen the prevention and disposal of risks in main areas, resolutely combat financial activities violating laws and regulations, and strengthen the construction of supervision systems in weak areas. These policies and measures are all aimed at improving the operation quality of finance and the quality of finance serving the real economy, and are important contents in promoting high-quality development in essence.
The high-quality development has set the new direction of economic development in China, and is the theoretical summary and development requirements with scientific connotation. We can grasp its specific implication at least on the following three aspects.
The high-quality development at the microscopic level. Microeconomy is the foundation of the whole social economy. To achieve high quality development, we must improve the quality of economic development at the microscopic level. First, the producers and operators should ensure that their products and services meet the quality requirements set forth by laws and regulations and can meet the quality demands of consumers. In 1993, China promulgated for implementation the Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China, which was amended twice in 2000 and 2009, providing the legal institutional guarantee for the quality control of products in China. Producers and operators should endeavor to improve the product and service quality, and this is the important microscopic foundation to realize high-quality development. Second, producers and operators should continually raise the operation and management standard. Improving the efficiency and return of production and service is an important basis for the high-quality development of enterprises, and establishing the modern enterprise system is the fundamental guarantee to realize high-quality development of enterprises. Finally, innovation and entrepreneurship should be actively encouraged. The boldness to blaze with new trial and to make innovation independently is the fundamental motive force for high-quality development, and popular entrepreneurship and innovation is the only route to converge the creeks of microscopic entrepreneurship and innovation into a big river of high-quality development in the whole society.
The high-quality development at the macroscopic level. The macroeconomic conditions reflect the overall economic level of a country. In the new era, only by realizing the high-quality development at the macroscopic level, can we realize the socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the foundation of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all aspects. To realize the high-quality development at the macroscopic level, mainly the following should be well grasped: first, implement the concept of innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development, to achieve and maintain stable, sound and sustainable development of the overall economy. We should face up to the current problems of unbalanced and inadequate development in China, especially, we must make efforts to solve such problems that the development quality and return is not high enough, the innovation capability is not strong enough, the real economy level should be further upgraded, and the tasks in ecological and environmental protection are arduous. Second, increase the input/output effect of the overall economy, and definitely cut the cost, especially the management cost at various levels. The emphasis is to lower the production cost and administrative cost of enterprises by allowing the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation and giving better play to the role of government. Third, on macroeconomic management, we should further enhance the ability to pre-determine and identify various economic risks such as market risks, external risks and especially financial risks that might occur, and take effective measures in good time, to avoid the formation of risks and defuse the impact by risks or mitigate the influence of risks. Fourth, further enhance the capability to deal with major sudden events in economic area especially major external sudden events. The capability to deal with major events mainly includes: material capability such as that to deal with sudden events in energy, grain and foreign exchange reserves, the policy response capability such as information collection and processing power and reservation of emergency plan to deal with such events. On the aspect of pre-judging and identifying risks and dealing with major sudden events, the macro level regulation is an important embodiment of the overall economic development quality of a country.
The high-quality development of social and people's livelihood undertakings. The ultimate goal of high-quality development of economy is to meet the people's needs for a better life. The transition of economy to high-quality development must be settled on the high-quality development of social and people's livelihood undertakings. This is mainly reflected by: first, the social public products such as education, medical service, old-age care and social security can meet the demand of all residents in both quantity and quality. Second, it can provide fairly sufficient employment opportunities, form a basically reasonable income distribution system and mechanism, and steadily increase the overall income of residents, the middle-income group can continue to grow and poverty can be basically eliminated. Third, the social atmosphere is positive, the cultural undertakings are developing vigorously, people's mental life is increasingly enriched, the social cultural and ethical level is continuously improving, and the social atmosphere is fair, just, democratic and harmonious. Fourth, the concept of green development has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the ecological environment has been fully protected, the living environment of residents is beautiful and livable, and people live in harmony with nature.
High-quality development is the important foundation for building China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful. It is a process demanding unremitting efforts from transition to the phase of high-quality development to really realizing high-quality development. We should, take the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guidance, follow the market laws, allow the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, and promote the China's economy to continually advance in realizing high-quality development.
Unswervingly and comprehensively deepen the reform. As the economic development of China coming into the new era, the reform now faces more arduous tasks, and this needs our determination without any hesitation. We must adhere to and improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, keep modernizing the governance system and governance capability of our country, and resolutely eliminate all outdated ideas, concepts and institutional malpractices, break through barriers of fixed interests, absorb the beneficial results of human civilization, and speed up the construction of a complete, scientific, standardized and effective institutional system. We must give full play to the advantages of the socialist system of China, to lay a solid institutional foundation for the high-quality development. We should further improve the socialist market economy system, continually enhance the motive force of producers and operators to improve production and services and to open up and make innovation, and realize the transition from made-in-China to created-in-China, from China speed to China quality, and from a big manufacturing country to a powerful manufacturing country.
Actively pushing ahead the supply-side structural reform. The principal contradiction in macroeconomic operation is that between the aggregate supply and aggregate demand. In the long run, of the two sides of contradiction, aggregate supply and aggregate demand, the supply side is the main aspect of the contradiction, only when the problems of the supply side have been well solved, can we fundamentally promote macroeconomic development with high quality. Therefore, pushing ahead the supply-side structural reform is of decisive significance to realizing the high-quality development.
Bring forth new ideas and improve macro level regulation. At either the micro level or the macro level, it requires a good and stable grand environment to achieve high-quality development, and innovation and improving macro level regulation is the important guarantee to provide such a grand environment. Experience tells us that seeking improvement in stability is a magic weapon for macro level regulation work. At present, to bring forth new ideas and improve macro level regulation, we should give play to the strategic guiding role of national development planning, keep on improving macro level regulation by adapting to changes in the main contradiction in the economic development of our country, make decisions at the right time and take correct prescriptions.
Actively expand and deepen opening to the outside world. An important demonstration of high-quality development is the upgrading of international competing power. The international competing power cannot be upgraded by closing the door to practice protectionism, or daring not to fight on the international market. International competing power is demonstrated not only by the market share of products and the import and export power, but more by the product standards of a country being accepted by international industrial standards. To realize high-quality development and raise the international competing power, we must adhere to the basic national strategy of opening to the outside world and to opening the door to make construction. We should actively push ahead the Belt and Road international cooperation, and speed up the formation of a new pattern of overall opening-up.
Speed up the ecological development. The green waters and hills can become gold hills and silver hills only by properly protecting them. Ecological development is an important condition for high-quality development, and good ecological environment is itself the achievement of high-quality development. Ecological development is meritorious for the present and beneficial to the future. We should firmly erect the view of socialist ecological civilization, and promote the formation of a new pattern of modernization construction with harmonious development of man and nature.
Give better play to the leading and promoting role of theoretical innovation. In textbooks of economics, microeconomics mainly unfolds from economic efficiency, while macroeconomics mainly focuses on aggregate analysis. It is a new subject of economic theory innovation put forth by the new era how to study and describe the question of economic development quality at both microscopic and macroscopic levels by applying the modern economy analysis technology. Such theoretical innovation must be rooted in the great practice of promoting high-quality development in China, and contribute to the transition of China's economy to the phase of high-quality development.


Tehran: The Iranian military Chief threatened Israel by saying, 'When egoistic countries provide strength to the likes of the Israeli government in order to survive, we should be careful not to allow such a sinister and illegitimate regime to continue even for a single day'. Iranian military Chief General Abdolrahim Mousavi also warned Israel and said that 'the Iranian army and the Revolutionary Guards will join hands and step forth as they will completely destroy the arrogant agencies as well as the Israeli government'. He also claimed that Iran will annihilate Israel in the next 25 years.
General Abdolrahim Mousavi issued the threat to Israel while speaking at a function organised on the occasion to commemorate the formation of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). He also warned Israel that 'Iran will not wait till the enemy soldiers enter its territory by crossing into its borders. When Iran attacks Israel, the Israeli soldiers will have nowhere to escape but into the sea'.
The Hezbollah also has aggressively followed up the threat by the Iranian military Chief and has threatened to attack Israel in a speech. Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah has claimed that the Hezbollah is equipped and has the capacity to attack Israel from any side and that their missiles are capable of reaching any target anywhere in Israel.


Fantastic. Packed with information and insights. A great overview of a COMPREHENSIVE organizational approach to quality management: senior management, strategic planning, engagement of employees, cultural re-shaping, and accountability/monitoring of operation employees.

Salvation Army to deliver a community hub in Central Dandenong
Pictured: Artist impression
The Salvation Army's $13.5 million community hub development in central Dandenong has been given the green light by the State Government.
The project will deliver important community and mission services to the Dandenong community, with works to start early next year.
Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams, welcomed the new shovel-ready development, which will create 200 jobs during its build and provide important support for vulnerable members of the Dandenong community once up and running.
The new hub on the corner of George and Cadle Streets in Central Dandenong, will feature a worship hall, youth rooms, an op-shop, spaces for events and community services and office accommodation.
"The Salvation Army is committed to providing services in central Dandenong and the new development will deliver greater assistance to the local community in need of support," said Salvation Army Officer at Dandenong Salvos, Captain Fluer Hodge said.
The State Government's Revitalising Central Dandenong project – announced in 2006 – is a $290 million investment to transform central Dandenong into a vibrant and thriving economic and service hub.
The project has leveraged close to $700 million in private investment in the area and created significant job opportunities, as well as delivering new community facilities and new developments in central Dandenong including the State Government Services Hub, ATO office and Quest Apartments.
Development Victoria, the Victorian Government's property development agency, is responsible for delivering the project, in collaboration with City of Greater Dandenong.


My 2017 writing routine is a bit different than ever before. Part of this is because of my self-challenge (48in48) which consumes a lot of time and forces me to write, sometimes when I do not feel like it. I also purchased my website and am considering the paid ad route (only to pay for the website on a yearly basis, if nothing else – no intention of "getting rich" from it).
Part of the new routine is to track my stats each month, the social media touches that I make. Of course, I am a wee itty bitty blog in the great big world of blogs. My numbers will be miniscule compared to most. But each new "touch" is important to me and I want to track my progress. So, here it goes.
WordPress saw the most clicks from within the United States. However, the next four countries in clicks were: India, Canada, China and Ireland.
As I move along with taking my blog more seriously I am sure that I will pay closer attention to different ways I "market my brand" and what interactions I am able to cultivate. It is a fun pastime for me.
Do you have a blog? Do you track your progress? I'd love to hear about your routines. Let me know in the comments below!


As someone who rose from poverty and understands the determination it takes to get ahead when it feels like the deck is stacked against you, I welcome President Obama's remarks today. He confirmed something we all know—that today, the American Dream is simply no longer attainable for many Americans. The President laid out a plan to achieve upward mobility, but I'm afraid he left out the most important factor: the people themselves. Those communities of people who are already working hard and demonstrating amazing initiative and ingenuity.
Solutions to income inequality exist at every rung of the income ladder; we see them in communities across the country. We just need to uncover them, and build upon them so that low-income families can see their goals achieved more quickly.
In fact, that's why the war on poverty has failed us—for 50 years, we've cut ourselves off from an entire approach that can re-start mobility: investing in the initiative of low-income families who are already working hard to get ahead, rather than "programming" the poor.
Unfortunately, there exists a strong stereotype about the nation's poor, that being low-income means being incapable, or in need of "help." As a result, most are not willing to consider and learn from the low-income families who are resourceful and find ways to solve their own problems.
We don't need more roadmaps or safety nets, programs or fixes. We need to listen, observe, and build upon what low-income families are already doing to get ahead. Taking a step back, relying on these families to know what to do, and accelerating their path to mobility—it's what my organization, the Family Independence Initiative, has been doing with families across the country for 12 years.
We've seen their solutions work, from the Casco-Zavala family in Oakland—who culled resources and friends to fight back against a predatory lender and achieve their dream of homeownership; to a group of families in New Orleans who started Camp Congo Square, a cultural summer camp for children; to the Hilaire family of Boston, who, through their ingenuity and family connections turned their economic lives around and opened their own business. All of these people had the solutions already; we just believed in them.
The President said that he is open to ideas for erasing income inequality in America. My idea is a simple one: Let's invest directly in solutions generated and led by low-income families themselves. Our future hinges on better understanding and building upon the initiative, entrepreneurship, and ingenuity of low income people, so that they too have an equal share in the American Dream.

The Trap is a 1966 British-Canadian adventure western film directed by Sidney Hayers. Shot in the wilderness of the Canadian province of British Columbia, Oliver Reed and Rita Tushingham star in this unusual love story about a rough trapper and a mute orphan girl. The soundtrack was composed by Ron Goodwin and the main theme (Main Titles to The Trap) is familiar as the title music used by the BBC for London Marathon coverage.

The film had its World Premiere on 15 September 1966 at the Leicester Square Theatre in the West End of London.

Plot
French-Canadian fur trapper Jean La Bête (Oliver Reed) paddles his canoe through wild water towards the settlement in order to sell a load of furs.
At the settlement, a steamboat is landing and the trader and his foster-child Eve (Rita Tushingham) arrive at the seaport to fetch mail and consumer goods. The trader explains to Eve that the ship brings "Jailbirds ... from the east" and that "their husbands-to-be had bailed them out and paid their fines and their passages with a guarantee of marriage". Later, the captain is auctioning one of those women because her husband-to-be has died in the meantime. Jean La Bête decides to take his chance to buy the wife but he makes his bid too late.

Two Native Americans, Yellow Dog and No Name, have told the Trader that La Bête is dead. The Trader, heavily in debt, has spent money he owes La Bête so that when La Bête calls to collect his dues, the trader has to use own savings, to the fury of his wife. Next day, the trader's wife, to compensate for the loss of her savings, seizes the opportunity to offer her foster-child for a thousand dollars to the simple-minded, rough-cut trapper. She praises the qualities of the shy girl and explains, that her inability to speak is caused from the shock she suffered when she had to witness how her parents were barbarously murdered several years ago.

La Bête finally agrees to buy the mute girl and takes her against her will into the wilderness of British Columbia. Here the strange couple starts a difficult relationship characterized by mistrust and Eve's fear and dislike of the trapper. Eve vehemently rejects the advances of the gruff trapper. La Bête takes her hunting and acquaints her with the beauty and the dangers of the wilderness but here, as well, he fails to win her trust. Eve defends herself from his advances with a knife.

One day, on checking his traps for caught animals, La Bête is threatened by a cougar. He shoots the cat but inadvertently gets his foot into his own bear trap. Badly injured, he tries to drag himself back to his hut, hunted by famished wolves. Eve is waiting at the cabin and hears the distant howling of the wolves approaching the hut. She takes a gun and sets out in search for La Bête; together they get rid of the wolf pack. La Bête's lower left leg is broken, so he asks Eve to bring the medicine man from the next Indian village, a two days trip away. The Canadian winter has already come, so Eve puts on her snowshoes and starts a long, arduous walk over snow-covered hilltops. She finally reaches the village only to find it deserted.

Returning empty-handed, Eve finds La Bête already suffering from sepsis (blood poisoning). Having no time to lose, he urges the terrified girl to immediately cut off his poisoned leg using an axe. After La Bête has tried to stun himself by gulping the last drop of rum, Eve acts as commanded and her patient instantly passes out from pain. Eve nurses the trapper and of necessity learns to hunt on her own and becomes capable of providing for the couple. Eventually, after La Bête learns to say 'please' to her and then thanks her for saving his life and declares he could not live without her, they become intimate.

The morning after, Eve seems to regret her decision and leaves the cabin, holding a rifle against La Bête who follows her to the river, angry and perplexed. Eve flees in his canoe, leaving La Bête floundering in the shallows. Her journey is fraught and she is thrown from the canoe in white-water rapids. The empty canoe is found by native Americans and Eve is rescued, and taken back to the settlement where she was taken from. Although welcome, she remains an outsider. The viewer is told that she remained in bed for two months and lost the child she was carrying. The family have arranged a marriage for her to a man who flirted with her early on in the film. Eve does not appear happy, however.

On the day of marriage, her foster 'sister' and foster mother dress her whilst the 'sister' demands to know how she lived in the wild and if she killed La Bête. Eve runs away again finally to return to the man she has come to love, Jean La Bête. She arrives on the river beach and La Bête touches her face gently, then welcomes her home by telling her to clean the house! Eve smiles. In the last scene, she stands in the doorway and watches La Bête hobbling into the forest singing a song. Eve chops wood and carries it into the cabin.

Perfect Wedding Day! We recently had our wedding at Severndroog Castle. Our experience was top notch from start to finish. The wedding coordinator, Laura, was helpful from the moment we decided to look round the venue, she was always prompt with her replies with any queries we had.
The day itself was perfect. We had exclusive hire and the team were so helpful on the day, they all worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly, even helping my now husband to fill popcorn boxes for our guests! We highly recommend the beautiful castle for weddings, it is like something from a fairytale!

A paper aeroplane thrown by a Tory MP during a late night session in parliament hit a senior Conservative politician in the face, Plymouth Labour MP Luke Pollard claimed.
He took to Twitter last night to express his shock at the actions in the House of Commons.
Mr Pollard said: "I know it's late but a Tory MP just threw a paper aeroplane across the chamber and it hit poor Sir Nicholas Soames in the face.
"This is not a playground....."
He was Minister of State for the Armed Forces from 1994 to 1997 in the government of John Major.
Wikipedia lists his main political interests are defence, international relations, rural affairs and industry.

English abstract: This paper addresses the issue of whether the justification concerning the principles of justice adopted by Rawls allows for modifying morally significant differentiations found in the basic social structure. The idea of basic social structure as understood by Rawls is explained, and the requirements for justification assumed by Rawls are characterized. Theses requirements are determined by intuitive beliefs concerning justice; whereas such beliefs stipulate certain factors as being morally significant. The analysis of Rawls's argument indicates that his justification with respect to the principles of justice is based on the criterion of benefit. This leads to privileging these conditions which according to the intuitive beliefs concerning justice should not be privileged. The original position of social groups, however, is not included within the framework of the justification mechanism, and so it requires revaluation for the same reasons as the previously mentioned issue.

Community Corner: How can MLS become a top 10 league?
Or do you think it's already there?
By Donald Wine II@blazindw Sep 5, 2018, 6:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Community Corner: How can MLS become a top 10 league?
Major League Soccer has grown exponentially since its debut in 1996. A league that arose out of the United States' hosting of the 1994 World Cup, it has grown from its original 9 teams to its current 23, with 3 more teams joining in the next couple seasons.
Despite its young age (22 years old) as a league relative to some of the European leagues that have been around for over 100 years, MLS still is compared to the quality of some of the top leagues in the world, like England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga, and Italy's Serie A. Consistently, we hear all the criticisms about the league: that the quality of play is low, that it's a retirement league, that it's a Mickey Mouse league. In spite of all the criticisms and the belief that many soccer fans may have about MLS, the league play has improved dramatically, it has attracted much better and younger players, and attendance has skyrocketed as more money is invested into the clubs and their academies.
So, how does MLS truly compare among the first division leagues around the world? In 1991, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) created a ranking of the top domestic leagues in the world, using the performance of the top 5 teams in each league in national and international competitions to create a system of gauging which leagues truly were the best. This only counted the top flight leagues, so the English Championship, 2. Bundesliga and other quality 2nd-tier leagues are not in their rankings. Since 2010, Spain's La Liga has reigned supreme over the rest as the top ranked league, but over the past year there has been a lot of movement among the other leagues in the poll.
In the 2016 poll, MLS was ranked 59th in the world. In 2017, they moved up to a tie with Lithuania's A Lyga for 52nd. A Lyga sat 75th in the 2016 IFFHS rankings. In this poll, domestic leagues in South Africa (42), Slovenia (41), Tunisia (24), Israel (12!!), Cyprus (13!!), Saudi Arabia (29), Albania (45), Iran (46), Belarus (47), Azerbaijan (49), and Northern Ireland (50) are among the leagues ranked higher than MLS. There's no doubt in the minds of a tons of fans around the world that MLS is a much better league than any of those leagues.
So, where does MLS likely fall on the scale? Are they a top 10 league at this point? That's a stretch. Spain, Germany, England, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, and Ecuador are all leagues that are unequivocally better than MLS. So, could MLS be in the Top 25? That's probably a more reasonable take. Fans can argue all day about where MLS stacks up against leagues in Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Bolivia, or even growing leagues like China, Morocco, or Paraguay.
So, here's the question of the week: How can Major League Soccer become a top 10 league? Are they close to the top leagues, or do you think they have a long way to go to challenge the big boys? Maybe you think MLS is already a top 10 league. In any case, hit the comments and explain what you believe MLS needs to accomplish to move up the ranks of the world's soccer leagues, or if you think MLS has already reached the Mount Rushmore of soccer leagues.


West Ham United host Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday evening as the Premier League returns.
The Hammers edged past Huddersfield Town in a seven-goal thriller before the international break, with a brace from Javier Hernandez in the final 10 minutes snatching the three points from the doomed Terriers.
Manuel Pellegrini will be relieved to have come through the break without any fresh injuries, but Carlos Sanchez, Andriy Yarmolenko, Jack Wilshere and Winston Reid are all still sidelined.
The West Ham boss' biggest decision is who to start up front, after Chicharito and Marko Arnautovic were both on target for their respective countries during the week.
Here's how the Hammers could line up against Everton.
Lukasz Fabianski (GK) - The Polish keeper is top of the table for saves in the Premier League this season with 119.
Ryan Fredericks (RB) - Since returning from an ankle injury which ruled him out for two months, the 26-year-old has started five of the last seven league games.
Issa Diop (CB) - Diop has only missed two Premier League games since arriving from Toulouse for £22m last summer.
Angelo Ogbonna (CB) - Scored his first goal of the season in the win over Huddersfield, Ogbonna is nearing his 100th Premier League appearance.
Aaron Cresswell (LB) - Cresswell is expected to get the nod ahead of Arthur Masuaku and make his 17th start of the season.
Declan Rice (DM) - Made his full England debut on Monday against Montenegro, Rice has been a standout performer for the Hammers this season and is attracting interest from the division's top clubs.
Mark Noble (CM) - West Ham's captain has scored three penalties in his previous five appearances and Noble is benefiting from Rice's defensive cover this season.
Manuel Lanzini (CM) - Fit again after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury, Lanzini has started three matches since his comeback, assisting one goal.
Michail Antonio (RW) - The versatile winger has registered four goals and four assists this season, alternating with Robert Snodgrass on the right of the Hammers' midfield.
Marko Arnautovic (ST) - Arnautovic hasn't scored for West Ham since the start of January but the enigmatic forward was on target twice for Austria during the international break.
Felipe Anderson (LW) - West Ham's record signing has started every league match this season and Anderson came off the bench for Brazil in Saturday's disappointing draw with Panama.
