match delayed - wet outfield
Talking Points: Was MS Dhoni right about the lack of 'spark' in his team?
2mMatt Roller
That aside, what makes Kieron Pollard such a successful captain?
Matt Roller23-Oct-2020
Another day, another failure with the bat for MS Dhoni BCCI
Here are the talking points from the IPL 2020 game between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in Sharjah
Was Dhoni right about the lack of 'spark'?
MS Dhoni was ridiculed by Kris Srikkanth - and many others on social media - after suggesting that the Chennai Super Kings' young players had not pressed their case for inclusion or shown the "spark" necessary this season.
On Friday night, he gave opportunities to two young domestic batsmen in Ruturaj Gaikwad and N Jagadeesan, who slotted in as opener and No. 4 respectively. But they only managed to prove Dhoni's point: Gaikwad was set up with three outswingers by Trent Boult before being trapped lbw by a booming inswinger, while Jagadeesan edged Jasprit Bumrah to slip first ball. Between them, they contributed 0 off 6 balls.

Why did Bumrah open the bowling?
Despite enjoying more success in the powerplay than at the death this season, Bumrah had only opened the bowling once before in this season's IPL - against the Rajasthan Royals, when he dismissed Steven Smith with the fourth ball he bowled. The Mumbai Indians have otherwise given James Pattinson the second over - Boult has always had the first - but with his replacement Nathan Coulter-Nile better suited to the middle overs, stand-in captain Kieron Pollard decided to give it to Bumrah.
In Pollard's only previous game as the Mumbai Indians captain - against the Kings XI Punjab in 2019 - he had also given Bumrah the second over, and watched him cause Chris Gayle and KL Rahul some problems with the new ball. Tonight, the move could hardly have worked better: he took two wickets in two balls to leave Chennai 3 for 3, bowling an immaculate line in the off-stump area.

Why did Curran drop down the order?
After three games at the top of the order as a pinch-hitter, Sam Curran was pushed back down the order to No. 7, where he made a valiant rearguard half-century after seemingly being asked to bat the overs out.
While it might have seemed like a harsh call to move him back down the order given his relative success at the top - 53 runs in three innings - he had struggled against high pace, against Jofra Archer in particular, in the Super Kings defeat to the Royals on Monday night. With Boult and Bumrah operating in the powerplay, there was plenty of logic in Dhoni's call to end the opening experiment.
Chahar vs Chahar
Double first cousins Rahul and Deepak Chahar have been playing against one another in the IPL since 2017, but have only rarely bowled to one another: that is perhaps no surprise, given they are both lower-order batsmen and neither bowls much at the death.
Before tonight, Deepak had bowled four balls to Rahul, dismissing him with one of them, but Rahul had never bowled to Deepak. He did so as early as in the seventh over tonight, starting with two dots, and then dismissed him with the fourth ball he bowled to him, with Quinton de Kock completing a straightforward stumping. Deepak is unlikely to bring this game up at the family dinner table.
Ishan Kishan hit his second half-century of the season BCCI
Why did Kishan, rather than Suryakumar, open for Mumbai?
In the absence of the injured Rohit Sharma, Mumbai promoted Ishan Kishan to open the batting alongside de Kock. It was a move that worked brilliantly, as he hit 68 not out off 37 balls to propel them back to the top of the table, but it perhaps came as a surprise to see him walk out rather than Suryakumar Yadav - whom ESPNcricinfo's Live Report readers had voted as their choice to open during the interval.
Indeed, this was the first time that the Mumbai Indians had ever opened the batting with two left-handers. It was a move that they would have been unlikely to consider if the Super Kings had fielded an offspinner, given their emphasis on match-ups, but without one in their side, there was no need to worry about anyone taking the ball away from the bat.
Could Tahir have come on earlier?
After spending the whole season on the bench, this was not the ideal return to the side for last year's Purple Cap winner Imran Tahir - despite his useful contribution with the bat from No. 10. Perhaps, given his record against the Mumbai Indians openers, he might have come on earlier: he had dismissed Kishan five times out of five, all of them attacking shots, and had got de Kock twice in the 15 balls he had bowled to him.
But with the Super Kings fielding two new-ball specialists in Chahar and Josh Hazlewood, he found himself coming on in the sixth over, with the score already 47 for 0 and any lingering hope of a come-from-behind win extinguished. Similarly, it was surprising that Dhoni did not give Curran a single over, given his knack for picking up important wickets.
Does Pollard have the magic touch?
Pollard's second game as captain in the IPL resulted in his second victory, making him the only man with a 100% record as skipper to have captained more than one game in the competition. He has now won 15 games in a row as captain, after leading the Trinbago Knight Riders to the CPL title with 11 wins from 11 after three consecutive wins skippering West Indies at the start of the year.
The last team to have beaten a Pollard-led side was Ireland, back in January, when a remarkable partnership between Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling led them to a four-run win. It is hard to imagine there is a team worldwide with such a well-qualified vice-captain.

Extra Points: Tags, Haskins, Jets, Bucs
March 5th, 2019 at 9:53pm CST by Sam Robinson
Both the Chiefs and Texans may be in for grievances. Both teams used their franchise tags on edge defenders — Dee Ford and Jadeveon Clowney, respectively — and each team officially classified its tag recipient as a linebacker. The linebacker tag comes at a $15.443MM price. Both players have cases to be tagged as defensive ends, with Clowney frequently lining up as a lineman for Houston and Ford set to play end in Kansas City's new 4-3 scheme. The defensive end price: $17.128MM — the second-highest tag figure. Clowney already received just more than $1MM from the Texans to resolve a dispute about what position he was categorized as in regards to his fifth-year option. That may go toward preempting a grievance here, but it's not certain. A Ford grievance seems likely. He spends more time rushing from the defensive end position in the Chiefs' sub-packages. Terrell Suggs filed a grievance about a linebacker tag in 2008, and an arbitrator ruled the parties to split the difference between the linebacker and end tags. But this is a case-by-case process.
Here is the latest from the pre-free agency news cycle:
While Janoris Jenkins is set to avoid cap-casualty status, another member of the Giants' 2016 free agency defender splurge may not. Whether Olivier Vernon is traded or cut, the veteran edge rusher is a near-certainty to be jettisoned from the Giants' defense, Tom Rock of Newsday notes. As is the case with Landon Collins' exit, a Vernon departure would create a massive need on a New York defense that has several need areas.
Dwayne Haskins has been a popular mock pick for the Giants, and Ralph Vacchiano of SNY notes Big Blue indeed has been "all over" the Ohio State-developed quarterback, researching his viability as Eli Manning's successor. Dave Gettleman does not plan to turn the keys over to a later-round pick, with Vacchiano adding the heir apparent will be a first-round choice. So if the Giants balk at a passer with another top-10 pick, they may be willing to roll the dice one more time and wait until 2020.
Mike Maccagnan has said the Jets will be aggressive in free agency, which would make sense given the team's plethora of needs and $100MM-plus in cap space. Gang Green will attempt to find a center and a guard in free agency, per Vacchiano. This comes after the Jets cut 2018 center Spencer Long. There are some interesting center options, with Matt Paradis and Mitch Morse set to hit the market. At guard, there aren't as many younger free agents; the top options are deeper into their careers.
Donovan Smith's 2019 cap figure will still be hefty, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, who notes the Buccaneers' left tackle will carry a $12.5MM figure next season. Although it is not the $14.1MM figure Smith was briefly attached to via the franchise tag, that is still a large number for a team that does not have much cap space. Smith's 2020 and '21 base salaries will be $14.5MM and $14.25MM, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times tweets.
Former Bears head coach Mark Trestman will return to coach in the States. He's been hired as HC of the XFL's Tampa Bay team. He joins Bob Stoops, Jim Zorn and Pep Hamilton as coaches to have signed on with the rebooting league. An acclaimed CFL coach prior to his two-season Bears stay, Trestman went back to Canada and was the Toronto Argonauts' HC for the past two seasons.

Bucs, Donovan Smith Agree To Extension
March 5th, 2019 at 12:06pm CST by Zach Links
Buccaneers tackle Donovan Smith received a small fortune in a new deal with the club. Smith has agreed to a new three-year, $41.25MM deal including $27MM guaranteed at signing, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
The new deal positions Smith as the fourth-highest paid offensive tackle in the league behind Taylor Lewan, Nate Solder, and Jake Matthews. Meanwhile, he graded out as just the No. 46 ranked tackle in the NFL in 2018, according to the advanced metrics at Pro Football Focus. His so-so 66.4 score was roughly in line with his scores from the previous three seasons.
The Bucs were planning to apply the franchise tag to Smith, which would have earmarked him for $14.077MM this year. Instead, the long term deal smooths out the cap hit slightly and keeps him under club control through 2021.
Smith's payout is indicative of the lack of offensive tackle talent throughout the NFL. Elite tackles in their prime rarely reach the open market, which has driven up the price for lower-tier options such as Smith. That means a similarly large deal could be on the way for Dolphins free agent Ja'Wuan James, even though James is not among the best at the right tackle position.
Smith's durability likely gave the Bucs additional comfort in the deal. According to the team, he's just the second player in franchise history to start every game in his first four seasons. The pact will also keep things consistent on the O-Line after they locked up fellow 2015 draftee Ali Marpet on a pricey extension last year.
Bucs To Franchise Tag Donovan Smith
March 4th, 2019 at 8:59am CST by Zach Links
The Buccaneers will place the franchise tag on left tackle Donovan Smith between now and the March 5 deadline, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times tweets. At the same time, Stroud hears extension talks are going well, so a long-term deal could be hammered out between now and the extension deadline for franchised players on July 15.
Smith, 26 in June, has started in every single game for the Bucs since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2015. He not exactly a star on the offensive line, but the Bucs do not want to lose him at a time when it is hard to find reliable tackles.
Smith graded out as just the No. 46 ranked tackle in the NFL last year, according to the advanced metrics at Pro Football Focus. His so-so 66.4 score was roughly in line with his scores from the previous three seasons.
Tagging Smith would cost the Bucs $14.077MM for the 2019 season. A long-term deal, presumably, would call for upwards of $10MM per year. That's a big chunk of change for an average starter, but Dolphins free agent Ja'Wuan James is also expected to clear that hurdle if he reaches the open market in March.
Bucs Rumors: Brown, Steelers, Smith
February 27th, 2019 at 6:52pm CST by Zach Links
We could see a lot of change in Tampa this year, but do not expect the Buccaneers to pursue Antonio Brown, GM Jason Licht says (via ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert).
From a talent perspective, the Bucs would surely like to have Brown on the roster. However, a Brown trade would require the forfeiture of significant draft capital and would hurt the team's cap room, effectively forcing them to mortgage the future for a soon-to-be 31-year-old.
For now, the Bucs seem intent on keeping deep threat DeSean Jackson, though it remains to be seen whether they can hang on to pending free agent Adam Humphries.
Here's more on the Bucs:
"I don't envision Donovan Smith being anywhere else but the Bucs, at least for next year," Licht said on SiriusXM (Twitter link via Greg Auman of The Athletic). He added that the franchise tag is "more than likely" for the left tackle. This jibes with what we've heard previously. if the Bucs follow through on that plan, they'll be even less likely to keep their hands on Humphries.
Bruce Arians' recent chat with Jackson went well, according to the Bucs' new head coach. "It went great. We had a long sit-down. From my perspective, it couldn't have been any better," Arians said (via Jenna Laine of ESPN.com). "You'd have to talk to DeSean to find out what his perspective is. But I thought it was great. I look forward to working with him. Ton of respect for him as a player … and a person." Licht, meanwhile, was non-committal when asked about D-Jax.
Licht was similarly non-committal when asked about six-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy, who carries a $13MM cap hit in 2019 and is under contract through 2021. "Gerald's been a real productive, successful player for the Bucs — one of the Bucs' all-time best defensive players, you could argue," Licht said. "He's under contract. Ideally, [we'd] love it if he continued to be a Buc." For what it's worth, rumor has it that the Bucs see McCoy as a good fit, even as they transition to a 3-4 scheme.
Rising sophomore M.J. Stewart will get looks at several positions but "we'd love to see him at safety," Licht said (Twitter link via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times). Last year, the 2018 second-round pick spent the bulk of his eleven games (five starts) at cornerback. He finished out with 33 tackles and three passes defensed.
Licht noted that the Bucs can keep running back Peyton Barber with a high tender in order to keep him from free agency, which may give some insight into the team's plans (via Auman). A second-round tender at just over $3MM should ward away other interested clubs.
Caleb Benenoch struggled in 2018 as the team's right guard and Licht believes that a switch to tackle is in his future, Auman writes. The change would mean a backup role, so Auman wonders if his job will be safe given his scheduled $2MM salary for '19.

Extra Points: Bucs, Smith, Jets, Sanders
February 24th, 2019 at 9:53pm CST by Sam Robinson
More buzz points to the Buccaneers keeping Donovan Smith. After a report indicated the Bucs were not likely to let Smith walk in free agency, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times follows that up by noting the team will, in fact, use its franchise tag to keep the left tackle — barring a pre-free agency deal coming to fruition. The Bucs will talk with Smith's representatives at the Combine. While the team is up against the salary cap and changed coaches, Stroud adds the Bucs are eager to see how Smith progresses under new offensive line coach Joe Gilbert and new run game coordinator Harold Goodwin. Tampa Bay already has three offensive linemen signed to veteran-starter-level contracts — Ryan Jensen, Ali Marpet and Demar Dotson. But shedding Dotson's deal in advance of the right tackle's age-34 season would free up nearly $5MM. A 10-year Buccaneer, Dotson has one season left on his deal. It stands to cost more than $14MM for the Bucs to tag Smith.
With the Combine approaching, here is the latest from around the league:
A Smith tag would make it less likely Adam Humphries returns. Although the Bucs are high on their slot receiver, Stroud notes he was eyeing an $8MM-AAV pact prior to his career-best 2018 season. With receiver not a particularly strong position this year — though, some key names will be available — Humphries can probably command a deal worth more than the Bucs ($15MM-plus in cap space) can afford.
Needs exist across the Jets' roster, but they are expected to target a pass rusher with their No. 3 overall pick, Brian Costello of the New York Post notes. However, the top two teams in this draft — the Cardinals and 49ers — are candidates to select edge defenders ahead of the Jets. The Cards have been connected to trade-down scenarios, and Costello adds the Jets would love to move back to collect more picks as well. New York traded three second-round picks — two last year, one this year — to move into position to nab Sam Darnold. The Jets' second 2019 pick comes at No. 68 overall.
Gang Green could use skill-position help, and the team is expected to pursue a slot receiver, Costello notes. From Wes Welker to Jarvis Landry, Adam Gase's offenses have worked best when a high-end slot player has been present. Humphries, Golden Tate, Jamison Crowder, Randall Cobb and Cole Beasley are the top slot talents available in free agency.
Should the Broncos decline Emmanuel Sanders' option, they would save $10.2MM. However, the injured wide receiver was by far their best aerial threat last year. Releasing Sanders would leave Denver thin at wideout, which would not make much sense after the team traded for Joe Flacco. The Broncos will probably pick up Sanders' option, CBS Sports' Joel Corry and OverTheCap's Jason Fitzgerald predict (subscription required). Both analysts write that even if Sanders starts the season on the PUP list, he would be worth keeping. One year and nearly $13MM remain on Sanders' deal. He recently said he would reject a pay cut, though the Broncos haven't made that request. He tore an Achilles' tendon in December, so training camp would be the earliest the soon-to-be 32-year-old receiver could return.
Buccaneers Notes: McCoy, Smith, Brate
February 23rd, 2019 at 3:01pm CST by Sam Robinson
As a fourth new Buccaneers coaching staff this decade continues to gather intel early in a pivotal offseason, here is the latest out of Tampa. It's looking like Gerald McCoy will be part of Bruce Arians' first Bucs squad.
Arians and his new staff have evaluated McCoy and view the stalwart interior defender as a good fit, even as the team transitions to a 3-4 defense, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. McCoy is not in line to be traded or released, per Stroud, who adds the 10th-year defensive lineman was confident he would return to finish out the 2010s with the Bucs. A McCoy move was considered possible, with Jason Licht not guaranteeing the former top-five pick's status with the 2019 team. McCoy coming back would mean a move to defensive end, but with teams spending so much time in nickel sets, the longtime 4-3 defensive tackle should see plenty of time as an interior presence next season.
McCoy will turn 31 on Monday, and after recording at least seven sacks from 2013-16, the former Oklahoma standout has registered six in each of the past two seasons. While McCoy remains an upper-echelon defensive tackle, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com writes his $13MM 2019 salary seems lofty. However, Laine adds that trading McCoy would likely only fetch the Bucs a fourth- or fifth-round pick. There are a few defensive tackles in free agency, even if the Falcons tag Grady Jarrett. Ndamukong Suh and Sheldon Richardson are back in free agency. And this year's defensive line class being one of the best in many years further weakens McCoy's value.
Another player considered a possible departure candidate could well be staying in Tampa as well. Donovan Smith is three weeks away from free agency, but Laine notes the four-year left tackle starter is not going anywhere. The Bucs will either tag Smith or extend him before free agency's outset, per Laine. Smith has not graded as a top-tier tackle in the view of Pro Football Focus, but he has been a durable edge blocker, never missing a game. That said, a Smith tag would cost the Bucs approximately $14MM. It is debatable if he would receive that AAV on the open market, even considering how well offensive linemen have fared in recent free agency periods. A long-term Smith deal is expected to be in the $12-$13MM-per-year range, Laine adds.
Although Cameron Brate signed an extension to stay in Tampa last year, no dead money remains on the tight end's deal. Arians, though, intends to keep the Bucs' TE2 for 2019, Stroud notes. Arians, whose Cardinals teams did not have a consistent receiving threat from the tight end position, is intrigued by having two with the Bucs, per Stroud. Brate will make $7MM this coming season. He underwent hip surgery after this season, however. Both Bucs tight ends are coming off injuries, with foot and ankle maladies ending O.J. Howard's season.
Cameron Brate
South Notes: Flacco, Texans, Bucs, Panthers
In agreeing to trade for Joe Flacco, the Broncos made an early move to attempt to upgrade at quarterback. As bad as things have gone at quarterback for the Broncos over the past three years, the Jaguars have experienced more trouble. The Jags were mentioned as a Flacco suitor earlier this offseason, and Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports tweets the team continued to have interest until the Broncos pulled the trigger. However, Denver's offer of a fourth-round pick was the best proposal Baltimore received, La Canfora adds. This was the Broncos' fourth-round pick (No. 106), not the selection they acquired from the Texans in exchange for Demaryius Thomas (No. 118).
Shifting to non-Flacco matters, here is the latest from the South divisions:
Thomas' Texans tenure did not last long, with the team predictably balking on the former Pro Bowl wide receiver's lofty 2019 salary. But with the Texans making the move to release the 31-year-old wideout while he is still recovering from a severe Achilles injury, Thomas is in line to receive injury protection, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com tweets. Article 45 of the CBA stipulates Thomas would stand to receive $1.2MM from the Texans, reducing the franchise's cap savings on this move from $14MM to $12.8MM. Nevertheless, Thomas' salary coming off the Texans' books increases their cap space to nearly $76MM.
Although Pro Football Focus had not viewed Donovan Smith as an upper-echelon tackle, the Buccaneers' front office has held him in higher regard. Even as the team shifts to Bruce Arians calling the shots on the sideline, keeping Smith off the market may still be on the table. Indications point to the Bucs placing the franchise tag on Smith if no deal can be reached before then, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times tweets. The 2019 tag for offensive linemen is expected to come in at just more than $14MM. Were Smith to reach the market, he could command a lucrative deal. Although, with only three tackles making $14MM per year, it would be a stretch for the Bucs' four-year left tackle starter to exceed that total — the annual offensive line sellers' market notwithstanding.
Ben Jacobs' early-offseason release will not lead to the longtime special-teamer catching on elsewhere. The former Panthers linebacker will instead take a staff position with Carolina, the franchise announced. Jacobs is the Panthers' new assistant special teams coach. Jacobs, 30, spent six years with the Panthers, serving as a core member of Carolina's ST units for most of that time. He will work under fellow former Panthers linebacker Chase Blackburn.
The Panthers will be the latest team to bring in a game management coach. Sam Mills III, son of the former Panthers and Saints linebacker, will begin working in this role, the team announced. A 15th-year Panthers staffer, Mills will retain his defensive line coach title while helping Ron Rivera on game days with replay challenges, clock management and other situational elements.

South Rumors: Falcons, Buccaneers, Morgan
The Falcons will be looking for a new kicker for temporary purposes. Matt Bryant will miss Atlanta's Week 7 Monday night game, Dan Quinn said. The longtime Falcons kicker is dealing with a strained hamstring, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, who adds Giorgio Tavecchio is among the names the Falcons are considering as a replacement. Tavecchio was briefly affiliated with the Falcons earlier this year, but Bryant's kicked in all six Falcon games in his 10th season with the franchise. He hasn't missed a game since he was limited to 11 appearances in 2015. Tavecchio will be among "a number of kickers" considered during the lead-up to the Falcons' home Monday-nighter against the Giants.
Here's the latest from the South divisions, continuing on the Atlanta injury front:
Another week of recovery will likely be required for Devonta Freeman, per McClure. The Falcons' starting running back is has dealt with knee and foot trouble and now has a groin issue to overcome. Atlanta's gotten by with Tevin Coleman and newcomer Ito Smith in the backfield.
Ali Marpet became the latest Buccaneers starter to sign a lucrative extension, joining Mike Evans and Cameron Brate in doing so this year. More re-ups could be on track. Kwon Alexander and the Bucs are still talking an extension, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. While Stroud writes it's uncertain if the Bucs want to pay Alexander like a top-tier linebacker — they have Lavonte David on the books at $10MM per year — he's on the radar. As is fourth-year left tackle Donovan Smith, who's in a contract year. Despite rarely being viewed as a productive player by Pro Football Focus, Smith is well thought of among Bucs brass, per Stroud. Adam Humphries is another player the Bucs would like to retain, though they have a crowded receiver room. Chris Godwin's emerged as Tampa Bay's No. 3 man and may be Evans' top complement if DeSean Jackson ($10MM non-guaranteed salary in 2019) isn't back next year. Humphries' contract expires after this season.
Derrick Morgan will miss a few weeks because of a shoulder injury, Mike Vrabel said. A ninth-year player who dealt with a knee injury during the preseason, Morgan has played in all six Titans games this year and has only missed more than two games in a season once in the past eight years. Harold Landry will likely start opposite Brian Orakpo in the meantime.
Stationed on the Texans' PUP list, D'Onta Foreman can return to practice this week but probably won't, per Bill O'Brien (via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, on Twitter). Foreman's been out since late last season because of an Achilles' tendon tear.
Braden Smith appears to have solidified himself as the Colts' right tackle. Indianapolis went through several players in hopes of identifying a candidate, but Frank Reich said Monday (via ESPN.com's Mike Wells, on Twitter) this job will be Smith's to lose. Smith's started three games for the Colts this season.
Former Lions, Patriots and Bengals linebacker Marquis Flowers worked out for the Texans on Monday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com tweets. The Lions cut Flowers last week. He played in 16 games for the Bengals in 2015 and '16 and suited up for all 19 of the Patriots' games last year.

Bucs LT Donovan Smith Out 2-4 Weeks
August 21st, 2018 at 10:03pm CST by Dallas Robinson
Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith suffered a sprained knee during practice and is projected to miss two-to-four weeks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (Twitter link).
Tampa Bay's regular season kicks off in just under three weeks, so Smith may indeed miss game action depending on his recovery time. That's not good news for the Buccaneers, who will open the campaign not only without starting quarterback Jameis Winston (who will be serving a thee-game suspension), but three difficult opponents in the Saints, Eagles, and Steelers.
Smith, 25, has started 48 consecutive games since being selected 34th overall in the 2015 draft. Pro Football Focus has consistently graded Smith as a middling option: last season, PFF ranked the Penn State as the No. 45 tackle among 79 qualifiers.
Third-year pro Leonard Wester who's played fewer than 90 snaps in his career, is currently Smith's top backup at left tackle, and would take over if Smith is forced to miss time. The Buccaneers' offensive line ranked 16th in Football Outsiders' run- and pass-blocking metrics, and has since added free agent center Ryan Jensen and third-round right guard Alex Cappa.

Iran Petchem Industry Ready for Foreign Investment
10:21 (Tuesday, March 15, 2016)
More than $50 billion is needed to be invested in Iran's petrochemical industry. Many of stakeholders of petrochemical projects
in Iran are actively developing their plans amid hopes for further gas production from South Pars gas field and the presence of foreign investors over the coming two years.
With the completion of South Pars phases, or the full development of phases 12 to 24 of this field, 650,000 b/d of gas condensate, 6.7 million tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) a year and 4 million tons a year of ethane will be available.
The Ministry of Petroleum plans to allocate the ethane fully to the petrochemical industry. The importance of petrochemical projects in Phase 2 of Assaluyeh comes to the limelight when one takes into account the fact that of 60 million tons of petrochemicals Iran plans to add to this production capacity by the end of the 6th Five-Year Economic Development Plan, 40 million tons will be produced in Assaluyeh.
The bulk of incomplete petrochemical projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh in the proximity of the city of Kangan are under construction. Most of them need finance and foreign loans to go ahead. In recent years, these projects have faced stagnation for a variety of reasons including sanctions. But recently China released lifeline for 5 of a total of 22 projects up for investment. Full operation of these projects, which will be handled mainly by domestic investors, will add 40 million tons a year to the country's petrochemical production.
Bushehr, Morvarid, Kavian, Persian Gulf, Ettehad, Mehr, Marjan, Kimia Gostar, Jam Armeh, Hormoz, Vaniran, Samand Tarrah, Lavan, Hangam and Damavand are among petrochemical projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh. They include a utility supply complex and related service providing facilities, 7 methanol production units, 3 urea and ammoniac production units, 2 ethylene production units, one ammoniac production unit and an ethane recovery unit. Some of these projects like Mehr Petrochemical Plant have become operational and some others are still in the preparatory stage.
Mehr Petchem, 2nd Phase Production
Mehr Petrochemical Plant is the first petrochemical unit in the second phase of Assaluyeh that has reached production is currently producing 300,000 tons a year of polyethylene. The products of this company are different grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is the raw material for downstream industries that produce polyethylene pipes, injection parts, films, nylon bags, etc. HDPE is exported to China, India, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.
Damavand; Largest Plant in Phase 2
Damavand Petrochemical Plant is the largest petrochemical plant under construction in Phase 2 of Assaluyeh. Installation of turbines 3 and 4 of the first phase of the power plant of Damavand Petrochemical Plant started recently with the objective of raising power generation capacity.
Given the power generation of domestic units of Damavand Petrochemical Plant, including four trains of aeration, water supply unit and offsite consumption that totally stands at 250 megawatts, two more turbines are needed to be installed in order to increase electricity generation for the main units in Phase 2 of Assaluyeh (Marjan, Bushehr, Morvarid, Dena, Sabalan and Greenfields) that would come online over the coming two years. With the installation and operation of turbines 3 and 4, the rated capacity of Damavand Power Plant will reach 648 megawatts. The final capacity of Damavand Power Plant will reach 2,000 megawatts after the installation of 12 gas turbines.
Phase 1 of Damavand Power Plant is 97% complete and start-up of Damavand Petrochemical Plant is of high significance due to its specific location and the dependence of 24 petrochemical projects in Phase 2 of South Pars.
Damavand Petrochemical Plant is under construction for the production of 70,000 cubic meters per hour of cooling water, 32 cubic meters per hour of sweet water, 660 tons per hour of steam, 246 megawatts of electricity, 156 tons per hour of oxygen and 48,000 standard cubic meters per hour of nitrogen. This plant is fed by 610 mcm a year of natural gas that would be supplied by the developed phases of South Pars. Another feedstock of this plant is 410 tons per hour of condensed water.
This plant has so far been offered for privatization twice, but it still remains under ownership of National Petrochemical Company (NPC).
Kavian, Symbol of Self-Sufficiency
Kavian Petrochemical Plant is tasked with supplying feedstock to affiliates of Bakhtar Petrochemical Co. The plants run by Bakhtar are located on the route of West Ethylene Pipeline. Kavian's main product is two million tons a year of ethylene.
The first phase of this complex came on-stream in 2012 and the second phase is set to be launched soon.
Ramezan Owladi, CEO of Kavian Petrochemical Plant, says this facility is currently facing feedstock shortage that would be compensated with the operation of new phases of South Pars. After that, the plant could run at full capacity.
Based on coordination made with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), with the delivery of ethane produced in phases 15 to 18 of South Pars to Kavian Petrochemical Plant, the capacity of this facility will reach 2 million tons next year.
Morvarid, Large MEG Unit
Morvarid Petrochemical Plant is another facility in Assaluyeh. Among the projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh is the construction of monoethylene glycol (MEG) unit.
Located in the proximity of the ethylene unit of this complex, this unit is one of the largest MEG units in the world. With an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of MEG, 50,000 tons of diethylene glycol and 3,400 tons of triethylene glycol, it will come on-stream in the first half of the next calendar year that starts on March 21.
Gholam-Reza Jowkar, CEO of Morvarid Petrochemical Plant, has said that this project is estimated to cost 227 million Euros. Royal Dutch Shell is to provide technology for this facility.
Marjan; Largest Methanol Unit
Marjan Petrochemical Company, with an annual production capacity of 1.65 million tons of ethanol, is among other projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh. It is currently in the stage of equipment installation. According to initial estimates, this project would cost 341 million Euros plus IRR 4,220 billion. With more than 54% progress, this project is among the leading ones in Phase 2 of Assaluyeh. Near Marjan Petrochemical Plant is located a project operated by Dipolymer Aryan. This facility which has the capacity of producing 1.65 million tons of methanol a year relies on German Lurgi technology. Forecast to become operational in late 2017 or early 2018, this facility is estimated to cost 220 million Euros plus IRR 2,000 billion.
Bushehr, Largest Project
Bushehr Petrochemical Plant is the largest petrochemical project currently under way in Iran. It comprises three phases. Phase 1 includes methanol and ethane recovery, Phase 2 involves ethylene, MEG and HDPE. Equipment installation is more than half complete in the second phase. According to the plant's managers, the initial capital required for this project is 1.9 billion Euros plus IRR 2,500 million.
This sum is planned to be provided through finance (85%) and equity (15%). So far, 400 million Euros has been injected into this project. Persian Gulf, Ettehad, Kimia Gostar, Jam Armeh, Hormoz, Vaniran, Samand Tarrah, Lavan, Hangam and Damavand petrochemical plants are in the second phase of Assaluyeh. They are on average 10% complete and they desperately need foreign investment. They have been abandoned in recent years due to financial shortages.
Despite the start of construction operations for the projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh, they still need foreign loan and finance. Therefore, this division of Iran's petrochemical projects could be considered as investment attractions.
Iran's revenue from petrochemicals is estimated to double to $40 billion. Projects in the second phase of Assaluyeh will make great contribution.

The draft of the Myanmar Tourism Rules must clearly define the authority of the tourism police, and include a provision for issuing of tour guide licenses only to Myanmar citizens as it has been seen that foreign tourists are travelling with their own guides instead of hiring local guides, according to the Myanmar Tourist Guides Association.
The association has been asked to share its opinion on the draft Myanmar Tourism Rules with the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism by 11 January. It held a meeting to discuss the draft rules at the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) in Yangon on 9 January.
"The ministry doesn't issue licenses to foreigners. But, we have found that many tourists are travelling the country without local guides. We have been discussing this issue for a long time. But there has been no solution yet. Tour guides must be Myanmar citizens according to the law. We want to make sure that such a provision is enshrined in the rules. Tourists are going around the country with their own groups, unaccompanied by local tour guides. Some tourists are bringing their own tour guides, but they just keep the tour guides inside their cars and discuss by themselves. So, we want to protect this kind of issue," said Daw Ei Thu Htut, the General Secretary of the Myanmar Tourist Guide Association.
According to Section 2 (D), Chapter 1, of the Myanmar Tourism Rules (draft), a tourist guide is a person providing direction and suggestions on places and things of tourist interest, for commercial purposes, to ensure the convenience of tourists throughout a trip. Under this definition, a private organization or company staff can welcome tourists, arrange for their accommodation, offer information, act as interpreters, arrange meals, entertainment or recreation, and similar services in the region where their organization is located, without engaging the services of any outside guide.
"Although tourists say a person providing tourism guidance is their guide, he or she can be a member of a company's staff. So, we only check their license. Some guides are too young and are underpaid. They accept low pay mainly to gain experience. There will be some problems in the long run, for instance, an inexperienced guide may use improper words. Once, a Korean tourist beat his guide with his shoe for the latter's poor choice of words," said Daw Ei Thu Htut.
"Foreign guides can give inaccurate information about Myanmar religion and culture. Therefore, the draft Myanmar Tourism Rules must only allow licensed Myanmar guides to provide services to tourists," she said.
According to Section 49 (D), Chapter 12, of the draft Myanmar Tourism Rules, an inspection team has to submit its report on any complaints within seven days.
"Company staff cannot be deemed as tour guides. The problem tourist guides are facing needs to be resolved right away. Within seven days, a troublemaker can move out to another country. We don't want the solution to these issues delayed. So, we need more tourism policemen. In this regard, the role and the authority of the tourism police are not clear and explicitly prescribed yet. Therefore, we need to embody such an explicit provision in the Myanmar Tourism Rules," she added. The new Myanmar Tourism Law was enacted on 17 September 2018.
According to Section 39 (A) of the law, the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism issued the Myanmar Tourism Rules (draft) with the approval of the Union Government, and now, the government has sought the opinions of the tourism industry on the draft rules.

Die Rendsburger Kreisbahn 11 ist eine zweiachsige, meterspurige Diesellokomotive der Rendsburger Kreisbahn, die beim Deutschen Eisenbahn-Verein betriebsfähig erhalten wird.

Geschichte
Durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg stieg der Verkehr auf der Rendsburger Hafenbahn der Rendsburger Kreisbahn erheblich an. Für den Verschub wurde eine Lokomotive benötigt. So wurde bei Krupp eine Anfrage nach einer Diesellokomotive gestellt. Krupp bot eine bis auf den Anstrich fertige Maschine an. Später zog Krupp das Angebot zurück, die Maschine sei für das Ausland vorgesehen. Die Lokomotive könne bis Kriegsende gemietet werden. Dies war mangels Brennstoffs seitens der Kreisbahn jedoch nicht möglich.

Da sich die Transportprobleme im Hafen verstärkten, wurde 1943 erneut bei Krupp angefragt, wo einem Kauf nunmehr nichts im Wege stand. Bei Gmeinder in Mosbach wurden die Beschädigungen, die die Lok durch Kriegseinwirkungen hatte, beseitigt. Am 6. Juni 1944 erfolgte die Abnahme der Lokomotive, obwohl sie mit 3650 mm damals zu hoch war. Die Lok wurde zunächst gemietet, im Oktober 1945 wurde sie gekauft.

Die Lokomotive war hauptsächlich auf der Hafenbahn zwischen Kreisbahnhof und Übergabebahnhof Rendsburg im Einsatz. Als 1957 der meterspurige Betrieb eingestellt wurde, wurde die Lok 11 bei der Fa. Herbert Grabowski in Hamburg auf 1435 mm umgespurt. Danach bekam die Lokomotive die Betriebsnummer 2 der Rendsburger Hafenbahn, angeschrieben war aber RK 1. Am 6. April 1973 liefen die Fristen ab, die Lok wurde abgestellt. 1978 erwarb der Deutsche Eisenbahn-Verein (DEV) die Lokomotive und vergab die Betriebsnummer V 1.

1979 wurde die Lokomotive bei Reuschling in Hattingen wieder auf Meterspur umgespurt. Mitte 1980 konnte die Lokomotive wieder in Betrieb genommen werden. Bei einer Hauptuntersuchung 2014 wurde sie weitgehend in den Lieferzustand zurückversetzt.

Konstruktive Merkmale
Die Lokomotive hat ein Mittelführerhaus, im größeren vorderen Vorbau ist der Motor untergebracht. Unter dem hinteren Vorbau ist die Blindwelle angeordnet, von der über eine Kuppelstange die Achsen angetrieben werden. Der hintere Vorbau ist für eine bessere Sicht abgeschrägt. Die Lokomotive hat zwei Fahrbereiche, einen Rangier- und einen Streckengang.

Der Motor ist ein MAN W 4 V 17,5/22 A. Zur Kraftübertragung dient ein Krupp Stellwandler-Strömungsgetriebe nach Lysholm-Smith, das damals eher selten war. Auf der Antriebswelle sitzen verstellbare Schaufeln, mit denen das Drehmoment verändert werden kann. Der Anlasser ist druckluftbetätigt, zur Gewinnung kann einer der Zylinder des Motors umgeschaltet werden. Zunächst war der Motor auf 810 Umdrehungen pro Minute eingestellt und leistete 80 kW (108 PS). Noch 1944 wurde die Drehzahl auf 850 Umdrehungen pro Minute erhöht, womit 84 kW (114 PS) erreicht wurden.

Neben einer Balancierhebelkupplung hatte die Lokomotive ferner normale Zug- und Stoßvorrichtungen erhalten, um auf den Vierschienengleisen der Hafenbahn ohne Zwischenwagen rangieren zu können. Die Räder waren Speichenräder. Die Lok hat eine Knorr-Druckluftbremse K-PmZ, während der Schmalspurzeit der Rendsburger Kreisbahn verfügte die Lok ferner über eine Körting-Saugluftbremse. Die Lok hatte bei der Rendsburger Kreisbahn einen grünen Anstrich, beim DEV hat sie einen roten Aufbau und ein schwarzes Fahrwerk.

In the third Showmax Original, Skhumba visits the hometowns of some of our country's finest stand-up comedians in a fun show that's just as much about travel as it is about comedy. Mashabela Galane is one of his featured comedians, and here Mashabela lets us in on what we can expect from the episode that's all about him and his hometown.
Mashabela needs no introduction: he's the brains behind Comedy Under The Sun, one of the biggest annual comedy events in the country. Born in Moletjie, a village outside Polokwane, Mashabela has an Honours in dramatic arts and media studies from Wits and has his own brand of gin called Moringa Gin, made in Limpopo using the Moringa plant. He's one of SA's most in-demand vernacular comedians, doing shows in Pedi to packed audiences, and he's even been nominated for a SAMA for Best Kwaito Album.
You are one of the fathers of vernacular comedy; how did it all begin?
In Trippin With Skhumba, we're going back to the village where I was born. I'm not from the township; I'm a village boy. I used to be the head boy! We might go back to my school, just to inspire them. Last year I walked from Joburg to Limpopo, to raise funds for disadvantaged kids. We passed five towns and stopped in each town. In Hammanskraal we stopped at a centre and donated food and clothing. In the next town, we donated money – it all depended on the needs in each town. I spoke to my chief and they started an education fund, so when I arrived at my place, we launched that fund. Then I did a comedy show, and the money raised went to the fund.
What do you think it's going to be like going home with Skhumba in tow?
It makes me happy to take someone that I work with to see where I grew up. Life in townships and rural areas is very different. My grandmother was very strict; I used to look after cattle after school – that was my life. We didn't have facilities where you could go and expose your talents. So if there aren't any facilities, you'll never know how talented you are. The only sports were soccer and netball.
Yes, with this body [laughs]. That kind of environment, it shapes you and it makes you tough. One thing I've realised about people who come from rural areas is that once they get to Joburg, they work so hard because they don't want to go back.
And you WALKED back! How far was it?
It's 350km. Every time when I drive back home, I always remember walking that road. One day I'm going to tell my kids about it.
When did you realise you have a talent for comedy?
After high school, because we didn't have drama or anything like that, I went to Wits to study. It's something that I always wanted to do. I studied art for five years. You need to know the business side of things too because talent is not enough.
Tell us about your shows.
Black people aren't really about that theatre life, but for comedy, they'll go to theatres. Most of the shows that I do with Skhumba are always sold out. I filled up an arena with 8 000 people last year, without a sponsor or any media partners. It's just the power of social media! Mainstream comedians have sponsors, but we [the vernac guys], we've got numbers.
Who's going to be navigating on your road trip with Skhumba?
It depends, are they going to allow us to drink? Only the navigator? Someone else is going to have to drive! I can't wait. Skhumba and I are always busy, and back in the day, we'd see each other all the time. Now we have a chance to catch up. It's going to be great.

Hindy Bertram of Jackson spoke up to dispel myths about her Orthodox Jewish faith, and she hopes others will do the same.
Hindy Bertram was scrolling through Facebook when a video on the page Rise Up Ocean County began to play. Smiling boys in yarmulkes and a crowd of Orthodox Jewish men in black coats and black hats appeared on her cellphone screen.
An unidentified narrator declared the page's concerns were civic issues, particularly how to respond to Lakewood's rapid growth, which is driven by Orthodox Jewish residents who are also settling into neighboring towns.
But in the accompanying comments section Bertram saw vitriol and misinformation about her community. About her faith. About her family. About her.
"Let's not forget they pay zero property taxes they are a cancer to this county with no cure in (sight) yet another reason to exit this state," one read.
Bertram didn't flee the site in fear or dismiss the page as anti-Semitic. The 32-year-old Orthodox Jew originally from Brooklyn — a wife, a mother of four and now a Jackson resident — stayed.
"There are so many problematic comments here and I can't possibly address them all," she typed. She began correcting misconceptions about her community in other comments, and days later she participated in a scheduled question-and-answer session on the Rise Up Ocean County page.
Bertram spent 3½ hours on a Sunday afternoon in November planted at the desk in the corner of her bedroom, typing out her answers to the questions that flowed in, trying to use her own experiences to tear down an intangible wall between "us" and "them."
It's a feat for anyone to take on keyboard warriors in today's world of venomous and sometimes violence-tinged rhetoric. It's a world that's seen a surge in hate crimes, and where a man is accused of spewing hate on social media before slaying 11 worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
Bertram is just one person. But she saw herself and other Orthodox Jews being painted with a broad brush.
When she opens her laptop to answer the questions that keep flowing in, she also opens a window into her world, hoping to further education and understanding — for those who are willing to hear it.
COLUMN: Is social media the primary purveyor of 'fake news'?
Rise Up Ocean County debuted in a social media landscape rich with "strong" and "watchdog" pages critical of the growing Orthodox Jewish community in Ocean County and elsewhere. The creators of the page would not identify themselves to the Asbury Park Press and declined to be interviewed for this story.
The page advocates for restrictions on development in the county and seeks to "preserve quality of life," according to the page description. An early post — that 3 minute, 10 second video that has been viewed 165,000 times — declares the mission to be inclusive of all faiths.
"We are NOT anti-Semitic, in fact we welcome all faiths to our efforts and more specifically embrace our friends in the orthodox Jewish community," the page reads. "This is NOT about a specific religion, this is about equal treatment under the law and mutual respect for others."
The creators pledged to police the page going forward, which started a discussion, and then Bertram agreed to a scheduled 3½-hour question-and-answer session on Rise Up Ocean County's page.
"Comments that call the Jewish population a cancer on Lakewood or that refer to us as leeches, or suggestions of putting birth control in our water, are really kind of horrific," she said of things she's seen online.
But there were other comments, Bertram said, that were based in misinformation she wanted to correct.
There's a teaching in the Talmud, a guiding text of Judaism, that came to Bertram's mind as she weighed whether to enter the fray.
"If I won't be for myself, then who will," she said.
The questions poured in — and they haven't stopped.
Bertram's answers range from brief to intimate.
Mindy wrote that she wanted to know why Orthodox Jews don't celebrate Thanksgiving. For Bertram, it's a practical issue, because families already prepare Thanksgiving-size meals for the sabbath on Friday night and Saturday. Growing up, she wrote, her family always had a turkey on the sabbath after the holiday.
Sue wanted to know why Jewish schools called yeshivas don't teach more English, math, science and history. Bertram thinks secular education has fallen by the wayside as the Orthodox Jewish community prioritizes lifelong religious learning, and she's demanded her son have more secular studies.
Scott wanted to know if it was true adherents to the Orthodox Jewish faith believe the messiah is yet to be born.
"We do believe a Messiah is coming who will bring us back to Israel and that the Temple will be rebuilt and hope that this will happen in our lifetimes. But I don't know ANYONE who is having babies with the goal that one of those babies will be the Messiah," began Bertram's reply.
It continued later: "Religious people tend to be very community and family (oriented), with a strong drive to pass one's values on through the generations. And yes, I have been in the place where I cried and cried because I wanted more children, could not afford them and did not WANT to use benefits or services. Well — man plans and God laughs; I got pregnant on birth control."
That was punctuated with an animated GIF of a shrugging Elmo, of Sesame Street fame.

Michelle Jackson asked how a Lakewood school board member could be trusted, making reference to an Asbury Park Press investigation that revealed Moshe S. Newhouse was granted amnesty from prosecution for Medicaid fraud as part of a countywide program last year, about the same time he agreed to build a new house.
Jackson has lived in Lakewood for 17 years. Her two children went through the public school system there. She typed out her questions for Bertram on her Android from home.
"I have a feeling that you'd like a neat answer, but you have to know that I don't have one," Bertram wrote. "I don't think this scenario makes sense and I think any individual who has such a disregard for the law of the land has no place on a Board that helps to determine public policy. It is shameful behavior on their part."
The exchange exemplifies a frustrating imbalance: Expecting Bertram to answer for another person because they share a heritage.
Jackson told the Press her perception of the Orthodox Jewish residents of Lakewood is largely shaped by the situation of the township's public schools.
The schools are perennially underfunded, in part because of a state funding structure that doesn't count the huge number — about 32,000 — of private school children who attend Jewish schools.
The public school board members are mostly Orthodox Jewish, even though Orthodox Jewish children don't attend public schools. A handful of lawsuits allege discrimination in district practices, including claims of favoring the religious community over public school children.
Jackson said she sees Lakewood as divided into "us versus them." She said she felt Bertram couldn't provide answers.
"I appreciate that she gave her time, don't get me wrong," Jackson said. "I just wish we had someone in a position of authority who can answer the questions we have for them."
There's only so much Bertram can do.
Some commenters see adherents of Orthodox Judaism as insular — a community apart, unwilling to assimilate with modern society. But within this community of about 70,000 residents of Lakewood there are divisions. Some residents don't use the internet. Others have smartphones. While many don't proselytize, others, such as followers of the Chabad denomination, prioritize teaching about their faith.
In 2007, New York City resident Allison Josephs launched Jew in the City, a webpage dedicated to informing others about Orthodox Jewish principles and dispelling myths about the community. The most popular post on the site answered: Why don't Orthodox Jewish women wear pants?
In a way it is a model for Bertram's local effort. Josephs remains motivated by her belief that all human beings have a lot in common.
"I want to believe that people can sit down and talk things through and there can be understanding and common ground found, and that's what I really love about what I do at Jew in the City," Josephs said. "You see so many people from different walks of life sharing common ideas."
Bertram and Rise Up Ocean County are of similar mind when it comes to municipal growth.
Bertram lived in Lakewood for more than nine years before she moved to a forested street in Jackson, where the homes don't look like they were made with a cookie cutter. There she found "menuchas HaNefesh," a Hebrew term that encompasses a person's sense of peace and tranquility.
"I think the attention belongs on infrastructure," she said, lamenting development that has clogged the thoroughfares. "Driving through Lakewood is somewhat of a nightmare."
But some attention, Bertram said, is misdirected into blaming the Orthodox Jewish community for the township's troubles. Some predict Lakewood, which has become one of the largest hubs of Orthodox Jewish life in the U.S., could top 200,000 residents in a dozen years.
She disputed a common belief of outsiders, that Jewish couples don't get marriage licenses so they can take advantage of government assistance programs by appearing as if they are single parents.
Nor is there some agency or person or council urging residents to dupe the system, she said.
"I think if people would accept that as true we can refocus attention on where it really belongs," she said.
The thread of questions and answers Bertram pioneered late last month has spawned a separate Lakewood Q&A page that keeps her busy at 9:05 p.m. and 1:24 a.m.
She's seen a tone shift recently. She's had to defend against generalizations from people who seem unwilling to listen. Defend against still-prevalent sentiments of "they all this" and "they all that" and "you people."
It's disheartening, Bertram said, but she will continue.


Shelduck calls are sexually dimorphic. Calls of males are high-pitched and whistling, whereas female calls sound deep and croaking. Males have different call types; in females 7 call types are known. According to preliminary observations, both males and females react specifically to calls of their partners. Individual call differences can be heard also by man. This paper aims at finding parameters of individuality, as revealed by sonograms, in the male trill-call. 1. Candidate cues for individual recognition should be (a) variable between individuals and (b) constant within individuals. 'lndividuality Index' we call the relation between average individual variation coefficient and total variation coefficient of one character in the population under study. 2. For individual recognition, the receiver could make use of several parameters. Sheldrake trill calls are individually different. Different parameters are the form of the first element and presence/absence of secondary elements. Duration and highest frequency of the calls have not been demonstrated to be reliable individual cues.

What's the Best Migraine Drug(s) for Kids?
By Landon Jones, MD and Richard M. Cantor, MD, FAAP, FACEP | on November 22, 2021 | 0 Comment
Question 1: In children presenting with acute migraine, what appears to be the best abortive pharmacological treatment?

ACEP Now: Vol 40 – No 11 – November 2021
A 2004 randomized controlled trial compared IV ketorolac (0.5 mg/kg, maximum 30 mg) and IV prochlorperazine (0.15 mg/kg, maximum 10 mg) in 62 children (ages 5–18 years) with migraine presenting to two pediatric emergency departments.1 All children received a normal saline IV fluid bolus as well. Treatment success was defined as ≥50 percent reduction in pain score at one hour as measured by the Nine Faces Pain Scale. If the child's headache did not improve by ≥50 percent at one hour, then the child received the other study medication and treatment success was measured again one hour later.
In the prochlorperazine (n=33) and ketorolac (n=29) groups at one hour, treatment success was 84.8 percent (28 of 33 children) and 55.2 percent (16 of 29 children), respectively, suggesting that prochlorperazine was better at providing successful migraine relief at one hour. Overall success—defined as either ≥50 percent reduction after a single medication at one hour or ≥50 percent reduction after receiving both medications at two hours—was 93.3 percent (56 of 60 children). This suggests that the combination of both prochlorperazine and ketorolac is more successful at reducing pain than either alone.
Similar results for combination therapy were seen in a 2021 prospective observational study that evaluated 120 children (ages 7–18 years) with migraine with standard combination therapy containing IV ketorolac (0.5 mg/kg, maximum 30 mg), IV prochlorperazine (0.15 mg/kg, maximum 10 mg), and IV diphenhydramine (1 mg/kg, maximum 50 mg).2 The authors' primary aim was to evaluate headache severity at two hours, 24 hours, and seven days after administration. Compared to premedication pain assessment, at two hours, 24 hours, and seven days, the median reduction in pain score was 87.5 percent, 100 percent, and 50 percent (P=0.001), respectively, suggesting that combination therapy was effective at treating pediatric migraine. Of note, this study only included the dopamine receptor antagonist prochlorperazine. As in adults, it appears that migraine combination therapy in children significantly reduces migraine pain scores.
But which dopamine receptor blocker is best studied in pediatric migraine? There are few studies comparing dopamine receptor blockers. Most have evaluated prochlorperazine. A 2015 study retrospectively evaluated 32,124 children ages 7–18 years with migraine across 35 children's hospitals.3 The primary outcome was 72-hour ED return visit for any reason in patients who were initially discharged from the emergency department. Of the 32,124 patients presenting with migraine to the emergency department, 85 percent were discharged and eligible for the outcome analysis. The authors examined the most common medications administered at the initial ED evaluation for the patient's migraine including nonopioid analgesics (65.6 percent), dopamine receptor antagonists (49.9 percent), and diphenhydramine (33.2 percent). Among discharged patients, 5.5 percent had a return visit within 72 hours. Compared to prochlorperazine, children receiving metoclopramide had an adjusted odds ratio of 1.31 (95 percent confidence interval [CI] 1.11–1.55) for 72-hour ED return, suggesting that prochlorperazine might be better for treatment of migraine in children compared to metoclopramide.
A separate 2018 retrospective study evaluated prochlorperazine (n=27), metoclopramide (n=23), and promethazine (n=17) for their efficacy in aborting a migraine.4 This study included 67 children under 19 years of age. All patients additionally received IV ketorolac. No dosing concentrations were mentioned in the study, which is one of its biggest weaknesses. Outcomes included treatment failure, return visits within 48 hours, and pain score. Treatment failures were 8.7 percent with prochlorperazine, 25 percent with metoclopramide, and 43 percent with promethazine. There was no significant difference in return visits at 48 hours.
Prochlorperazine (0.15 mg/kg) is the most commonly studied and most effective intravenous abortive migraine therapy in children. Combination therapy with ketorolac (0.5 mg/kg) appears to improve success. Plus-circle

Well after muttering that I wanted sore throat to appear or go away, just hurry up and do *something*. It arrived with a fanfare, parade with majorettes and is well and truly settled.
I went into work yesterday, turned around an hour later and came back home again, totally incapable of concentrating on anything. I got home, Myles called me to say the hot water system had flooded, all into the office and shop below us, so he needed to know who to call. I then nuked some leftovers and popped back to bed, listened to the last of The Cat Who Moved A Mountain, missed the last 15 minutes and woke up 4 hours into The Cat Who Wasn't There. I have listened to the 5 of them I have on my iPod at least 3 times, but I still love them. I keep trying to buy them, but can't find them very easily.
So here I sit in t-shirt, dressing gown, under my duvet, alternatively going hot and cold. I had set my alarm to get up, went into the bathroom and saw the state of myself and decided that spreading the lurgy around the office was not a good idea. My glands under my jaw bone are so up, you can see the shape of them. I'll phone the doctors later this morning and see if I can get an appointment.
So yes I am pleased it isn't hanging around me any longer, but not sure if I should be asking cosmic forces for something this painful! If any one wants me, I'll be reading.
:::OUCH::: You made my glands hurt by telling the shape of yours…Hope you feel better soon!

Q: Leave one out for multiple arguments with mapply()? With a single vector A = c(1,2,3,4,5), I can write
 sapply(A, function(a) mean(A[-a]))

to compute five means: the mean of A without the first element, the mean of A without the second element, etc.
I would like to do leave-one-out operations like this with two or more vectors at the same time. For example, with B <- c(6,7,8,9,10), I thought I could type
myFunc <- function(a, b){return( c(mean(A[-a]), mean(B[-b])) )}
mapply(myFunc, A, B)

but that only computes the leave-one-out means of A:
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]  3.5 3.25    3 2.75  2.5
[2,]  8.0 8.00    8 8.00  8.0

and outputs a row of 8.0s for B. What am I doing wrong?

A: In the first vector 'A', the values are the same as the sequence.  So, when we index with that value and remove, it remove the corresponding value.  In the second vector 'B', it is not the case i.e. B[-6] or B[-7] still gives the whole vector.  Instead, loop through the sequence
mapply(myFunc, seq_along(A), seq_along(B))

A: You can use :
mapply(function(k) c(mean(A[-k]), mean(B[-k])), 1:length(A))

A: First, instead of looping over vector elements when calculating your mean, you can vectorize your code: (sum(x) - x) / (length(x) - 1). Furthermore, because you have "two or more vectors", you better store them in a list. You can then loop over vectors with lapply.
lapply returns a list. However, if the vectors are of different length, you need to use SIMPLIFY = FALSE in mapply to return a list anyway.
l <- list(A, B)
f <- function(x) (sum(x) - x) / (length(x) - 1)
lapply(l, f)
# [[1]]
# [1] 3.50 3.25 3.00 2.75 2.50
#
# [[2]]
# [1] 8.50 8.25 8.00 7.75 7.50

Noamm's first full length release is 'dark, dramatic and punchy authentic Electro literally fashioned from blood sweat and tears' Fighting Boredom are impressed.
This electro stuff is dangerously addictive. You put on Noamm and realise that two hours later you are still circling the squelchy, synthy goodness around with no intention of turning it off. It's not something to take lightly either, this isn't throw away electronic foam, it's deeper than that, submerged into a sea of neon crabs and tiny bubbles.
Noamm have given us eight tracks, each of which are carefully constructed sound sculptures wound around crisp, sparklingly clean beats. Strung up with squelching bass and synth lines with jabs and shards of sound cutting into the groove to keep you on your toes. Strictly speaking the final track 'Lost Souls' isn't constructed around the beats, it's the lack of them that make you listen to this one.
The best track is Human Paranormal Transformation which moves away from the warmth and repetitiveness of the album and enters into something much darker and harder to get to grips with. It sounds like a rogue programme has infected this sound file and warped it somehow making it jump in and out of focus, an excellent achievement.
So give it a go, jump in and submerge yourself in the sheen, just be careful of the darkness lurking below waiting to drag you down.
You can buy the album from Bass Agenda's bandcamp page. He is on Facebook.

El Partit Republicà Radical Socialista Independent (PRRSI) va ser un partit polític espanyol d'ideologia republicana d'esquerres i de breu existència durant la Segona República Espanyola.

Originat en el si del Partit Republicà Radical Socialista (PRRS), el 1933 profundes discrepàncies sobre la col·laboració amb els socialistes en el si del govern van obrir una greu bretxa en el si del PRRS. Els sectors més esquerrà, liderat per Marcel·lí Domingo i Sanjuan i Álvaro de Albornoz, partidaris de mantenir la coalició amb el PSOE, es van enfrontar al sector més dretà, encapçalat per Félix Gordón de Ordás, més procliu a l'acostament al Partit Radical de Lerroux. A la fi d'aquest any, el sector progressista va abandonar el partit per fundar el PRRSI, que es fusionaria amb Acció Republicana i l'Organització Republicana Gallega Autònoma per donar lloc a Izquierda Republicana, el 3 d'abril de 1934.

Right on the money
One big story in UK finance at the moment is the new design for the £50 note. UK banknotes change design roughly once every 10-20 years, and since the 1960s have included, in addition to the portrait of Her Majesty the Queen on one side, a portrait of a famous UK citizen on the other.
The new £50 will be the latest to join the new series of plastic-rather-than-paper notes started by the new £5 note in 2016, and will be the last one to do so – a new polymer £20 note to be issued from 2020 will feature a portrait of the artist JMW Turner. The choice of Turner followed a lengthy selection process undertaken by the Banknote Character Advisory Committee, who consulted with the public to suggest options and chose Turner from over 30,000 nominations.
It's been announced that the new £50 will definitely feature someone from the realm of science – which is exciting for fans of science, like me. But what I really want to know is, will it be a mathematician?
Up until now, mathematicians did occasionally feature on UK banknotes – as long as you count people who weren't famous for specifically being mathematicians. For example, the current £20, which will be replaced in 2020, features economist Adam Smith.
Smith was also an author and philosopher, and his book The Wealth of Nations is considered to be the first modern book addressing the topic of economics. Smith discussed how self-interest motivates people in economic situations – ideas which presaged modern game theory – and that under competition, equilibria are established to optimise profitability. The note features a reference to his analysis of the division of labour in manufacturing. His ideas have formed the basis of much modern economics.
The current £50 note features two portraits – business partners Matthew Boulton and James Watt. Watt was an inventor, chemist and mechanical engineer, famous for his steam engines, and Boulton was an entrepreneur and manufacturer who helped Watt go into business selling them. Watt's engines designs were ingenious and more efficient than contemporary models, and represented a step forward in the technology which powered the industrial revolution.
Watt wasn't the only steam engine pioneer to have been featured on a UK banknote – a £5 note in circulation from 1993 to 2003 featured George Stephenson, inventor of the famous Stephenson's Rocket (also featured on the note), and a talented engineer whose company manufactured engines and built railway lines all over the country, revolutionising rail transport.
Probably the closest we've historically had to a mathematician on a banknote was Florence Nightingale, who appeared on the £10 note from 1975 to 1994. While Nightingale is probably best known for her work as a nurse in the Crimean War, and for revolutionising the field of nursing, mathematicians think of her fondly as a great early example of the use of a pie chart in communicating statistics – her polar area diagram used a circular chart to demonstrate how much more effective her methods were at preventing disease, and effectively convinced politicians to adopt her approach.
The new banknote has to feature someone from science (along with a couple of other criteria – they have to be dead, and not a fictional character) who has contributed to the field, and 'shaped thought, innovation, leadership or values in the UK' as well as being an inspirational and non-divisive figure. So what are the chances it'll be a mathematician?
Who would you choose?
The selection process opened on 2nd November, and has so far received over 170,000 names suggested by members of the public, and nominations are still open. They've released a list of over 800 names from the first week, having filtered out any that aren't valid candidates for any of the reasons described above. While over at The Aperiodical (another blog I write for) Christian has done a full analysis of the list, I've picked out my favourites – although I'm sure there are many other worthy candidates I've missed:
Ada Lovelace – the Countess of Lovelace worked with Charles Babbage (also on the list) to create and program the world's first programmable mechanical computer. Her algorithms gave a way to compute Bernoulli numbers using Babbage's Difference Engine.
Alan Turing – considered the father of modern computing, and a hugely influential thinker in mathematics, computability theory and cryptography, after his work at Bletchley Park breaking the German Enigma code. He has also become an icon for gay rights, after famously being convicted (and posthumously pardoned many years later) of homosexuality, which was then a crime.
Bertrand Russell – philosopher and mathematician, also famously a pacifist and political activist, and the originator of some of the founding theories of logic and proof. He is widely held to be one of the 20th century's premier logicians, and a founder of analytic philosophy.
Bill Tutte – less famous than Turing, and undeservedly so, Bill Tutte also worked in codebreaking at Bletchley Park on the top-secret Lorenz Cipher, used by the high-level German military. Tutte's efforts were crucial in ending the war, and he also had a number of significant mathematical accomplishments, including foundational work in the fields of graph theory and matroid theory.
Christopher Zeeman – mathematician working in geometric topology, catastrophe theory and singularity theory, but also well-known as a brilliant populariser of mathematics. His Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 1978 were the first to be given on mathematics, and inspired the Ri's now national Masterclass programme, which allows thousands of children to engage with higher-level maths topics outside of school. The Christopher Zeeman Medal for Communication of Mathematics is awarded in his honour.
George Boole – mathematician, philosopher and logician whose book The Laws of Thought laid out the theory of Boolean Algebra – using simple logical operations to manipulate truth values – which became the foundation of all of modern information theory and computing.
Hertha Ayrton – engineer, mathematician, physicist and inventor who not only taught mathematics and devised mathematical problems, but also patented a line divider – an instrument for dividing a line into equal parts, which became widely used in engineering. She also worked in the field of electricity, studying arc lighting, and being the first woman to join the Institution of Electrical Engineers, in 1899 (the next woman to be admitted was in 1958).
So who would you choose to put on a banknote? And which other countries have famous figures on their notes? I wonder which country has the most mathematicians…?

Kentucky Man Charged After Wisconsin Man's Body Found in Box
Published April 19, 2016 • Updated on April 19, 2016 at 8:52 am
A man has been arrested following the discovery of a Wisconsin man's body inside a box along a Kentucky road.
Clarence Michael Hicks, 61, was arrested in his Harrodsburg home on a charge of hiding a corpse that was filed in Wisconsin, the Mercer County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Monday.
Authorities say the body of 51-year-old Douglas Bailey was found in December in a large box on an embankment in Hazard. Bailey was a truck driver whose sister reported him missing after he didn't show up for a family Thanksgiving dinner in Peoria, Illinois.
Bailey's 45-year-old girlfriend, Rose Marie Kuehni, of Prescott, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Wisconsin's Pierce County Sheriff's Office conducted the investigation.
