Tiger made the ultimate sports comeback at the 2019 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga. The last time he won a major tournament was in 2008, and it has been a long road back to the top. A lot has taken place over those 11 years, from both suffering all time personal and professional lows.
The fall from grace wasn't pretty. The climb back to the mountaintop wasn't always easy. There was his well-publicized infidelity scandal. The result of that was a divorce from his wife, Elin Nordegren, which came to a head on the infamous night of Nov. 27, 2009 where Woods crashed his Cadillac into a fire hydrant and Nordegren smashed out one of the windows with a golf club.
Golf fans have had mixed reactions to Woods' success. After watching the final round, Chelsea Feldman was "happy for him and for his fans." Feldman said those feelings didn't extend to her personally. She hasn't forgotten Woods' messy personal life. She said she "thinks it's awesome his wife beat him up with a club.
While his personal life unraveled, his professional life was damaged severely. He lost major sponsors, and the injuries piled up for a person who was unstoppable since his unbelievable run at his first Masters win in 1997. Over that time he won 14 major championships over 70 PGA tournaments. During his last major championship win in 2008, we was playing on a torn ACL, which led to one of many surgeries over the years Those procedures included three back surgeries and spinal fusion surgery. Doubt crept into everyone's mind as the years went on and he played as a shell of his former self.
Chirag Shah was "happy" and "celebrated with a Tiger fist pump" after he won. Fans range across the board. Some love him. Some hate him. Some love to hate him.
All that doubt was put to rest at the 2019 Masters. What is now one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, Tiger's legacy is no longer in doubt. He is back on top of a mountain we never thought we would return to. What the future holds, nobody knows, but at this moment, Tiger Woods is a 15-time major champion.
It was summed up best by Delia Jobst as she went on to say that, "regardless if you like or respect him, he had to walk through the fire to get there again." That he certainly did.

One Response to "Tiger roars back at the Masters"
Josh F on April 25th, 2019 5:03 pm
I follow sports publications every day and work in sports marketing. This is by far the best written assessment of Tiger Woods comeback I have ever read. Mr. Kavuri's ability to convey the facts AND pull our heart strings with not only relevant but compelling research and interviews is comparable to a Rick Morrissey in his prime.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) established the West Africa Regional Training Center (RTC) to advance the U.S. government's goal of dismantling transnational organized criminal networks and strengthening criminal justice capacity in West Africa. The RTC exists as a U.S. government international security initiative, which works with strategic stakeholders to effectively run an advanced training program in Ghana. In the last few months, there's been a flurry of activity with the RTC relocating its facility and engaging additional staff to support its operations.
With the growth and expansion of the RTC program, there was the need to relocate to a larger facility to enhance training activities. In April 2017, in a grand opening ceremony, the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana commissioned new RTC facility, in the presence of high-level Ghanaian government officials. The new facility has three training rooms as well as an auditorium for lecture-styled trainings. There are also multiple meeting rooms for breakout sessions as well as a large cafeteria space. With this new upgrade, the RTC will be able to facilitate multiple training programs at a time.
The RTC's program management staff is also expanding. On the local front, a group of young, motivated individuals, work tirelessly to maintain the facility as one of the best in Africa. A U.S. Government Law Enforcement Training Advisor (LETA) provides strategic direction for the RTC and brings a wealth of experience, having worked for DEA for over 29 years. Together with RTC Program Officers, the LETA works to ensure that training needs within the region are met and reinforces efforts to build a strong RTC Alumni network. An Operations Manager also works with the LETA in supervising the staff, to ensure smooth training deliveries. Additionally, there's the delegate and alumni coordination team, in charge of participant related logistics and data management. An accounts and finance team also oversees the fiscal management of the RTC and the IT/Production team is in charge of technology and course material production. The transportation and logistics team also ensures the provision of ground transportation for all our instructors and participants and help in the day-to day management of the center.
CTP's Criminal Justice Programs (CJP) group also supports this effort with a team of experts with extensive experience on international program development and implementation. The group is led by two retired DEA and FBI agents, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise on translating U.S. government policy into strategic and measurable outcomes. Together, they bring over 49 years of combined experience from working in Africa, South America and South West Asia, in advanced law enforcement leadership positions. Their overall vision for the RTC is focused on operationalizing INL's goal through the development of effective strategies to strengthen security capabilities in West Africa. The team also includes Project Managers who are knowledgeable about security issues in Africa and creatively work to bring INL's mission to life. The project managers focus on delivering high quality security assistance by adhering to strict performance and operational standards. They also focus on developing monitoring and evaluation tools that continuously assess and measure the impact of the program.
This formidable group of individuals brings innovation and expertise to the RTC program and is working to maintain the RTC as one of the leading law enforcement training facilities in Africa. The team, under the direction of INL works to create the best training experience that fosters collaboration between delegates from different countries and is building the infrastructure for enhanced engagement among African and America law enforcement professionals.

Q: Deleting files in folder with python I have one folder with one geodatabase and two other files (txt). I used zip and zipped them. So now in this folder i have gdb, txt,txt, and new zip file. Now I need to delete those files that were zipped, so that will be only zip file in the folder.
I wrote the following code:
def remove_files():
   for l in os.listdir(DestPath):
      if l.find('zipped.zip') > -1:
         pass
      else:
           print ('Deleting ' + l)
           os.remove(l)

But got:
Error Info:
[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'geogeo.gdb'

Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.

A: os.listdir only returns filenames, not complete paths.
os.remove uses the current working directory if only a filename is given. If the current working directory is different than DestPath, then you need to supply the full path:
os.remove(os.path.join(DestPath,l))

Previewing the 123rd Army-Navy College Football Game
By Andy Knapp December 8, 2022 Updated: January 18, 2023 No Comments4 Mins Read
Saturday, December 10, 2022, marks the 123rd overall meeting between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen in the battle of the US' 2 largest service academies. The Army-Navy game is one of college football's most elite rivalries, even if to the average fan, the games are repeatedly boring by low scoring efforts.
Last year's meeting in East Rutherford, NJ saw Navy pull out a tight 17-13 victory in a victory for the sea team over the ground team. It was the 2nd return to glory for the Midshipmen after losing in 2020 15-0 at West Point, dominating in Philadelphia in 2019 31-7 and it happened to a team that from 2002-2016, won every single contest against the Black Knights, formerly known as the Cadets.
The Army-Navy game goes all the way back to 1890 when Navy sunk Army with a 24-0 shutout. Since then, the Midshipmen have led the all-time series with 62 wins, 53 losses, and 7 ties in 122 contests.
This year's matchup sees both schools head back to the city of brotherly love for 2022, where both teams are still vying for a bowl appearance. However, only 1 can make it to the postseason and it's the team at West Point, as Army sit at 5-6 while Navy's 2022 campaign sinks with a 4-7 record coming in. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 pm on CBS.
Why Army will Win
Army can pull off a tough-fought victory against the team from Annapolis as long as their ground game stays as good as it's been. The Black Knights rank second in the nation with 304 ground yards per game compared to the Midshipmen's 239 per game. Army also averages 29.4 points per game (58th in the nation) compared to 22.4 points per game for Navy (104th).
It's worth mentioning both teams operate run-first offenses, and this game historically features minimal passing plays and overall, low-scoring contests. Army has the better rushing attack and averaged a tick over 300 YPG rushing on 5.6 YPC, while Navy averaged 239.5 on 4.0.
Army's run offense ranks No. 25 in success rate, No. 41 in explosiveness, and No. 4 in stuff rate. Navy ranks No. 116, No. 110, and No. 59, respectively, in the same three categories. Army also has a playmaker at quarterback in Tyhier Tyler.
The 5-foot-8, 183-pound senior from Newport News, Va., has 12 rushing touchdowns this season, which is tied for second among all FBS quarterbacks. In the win over UMass, Tyler ran for 101 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries.
All of this doesn't necessarily mean it'll be much less exciting, however. If you're a sucker for old-school football in an old-school rivalry, this is one you'll want to tune in to. The norm for this kind of game routinely sees points by either side barely even reach the 3-touchdown margin, or not even at all.
Why Navy will Win
Navy can hit big plays, and it's much, much stronger and more consistent against the run.
The Midshipmen haven't allowed 100 yards rushing in any of the last four games, and it's not like it's done it anyway against a slew of lightweights when beating Notre Dame, Cincinnati, and UCF over the last three games. Navy does have the country's 4th-best run defense, after all, allowing just 93 total yards per game. Meanwhile, Army is considerably worse in that department, allowing at least 100 more per game at 196 total.
The Midshipmen will not make a bowl but did provide a few upsets during the season. Navy beat East Carolina and Central Florida outright, with one-possession losses to Notre Dame, SMU, and Air Force. They run plenty of 21 and 22 formations, enabling multiple running backs and tight ends to set up the triple option inside and outside of the tackles.
Navy also has a star linebacker in John Marshall. A standout receiver in high school, Marshall ranks third in the country in tackles for loss per game (1.7) and fifth in sacks per game (0.95). In the Midshipmen's upset of Central Florida on Nov. 19, Marshall had a school-record four sacks, helping Navy limit the high-scoring Knights to just 14 points.
In addition, the Midshipmen are the least penalized team in college football. Navy averages just 3.5 penalties per game and 28.3 penalty yards per game. Both are the fewest among the 131 FBS teams.
The Army-Navy game is upon us. Here's the prediction for Saturday afternoon's contest in Philly at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Eagles.
Navy Midshipmen 17, Army Black Knights 7

Q: Specify interface / IP for php imap_open() I have an application which checks a gmail account via imap using php imap_open().  This works well most of the time but the server has a plethora of IP addresses and it seems the outgoing interface that gets used is a bit of a coin toss.  Sometimes it uses ipv6, other times, ipv4. And for reasons unknown to me, Gmail seems to be finicky about our ipv6 address, despite the fact that it has a valid PTR record.
How can I specify the outgoing IP or interface used by imap_open() similarly to CURLOPT_INTERFACE.

Cliffe replaces Heather Cowan who is stepping down from the Title IX coordinator position to take a position as an assistant director at the University of Michigan. Cowan's last day at UNM is Aug. 17.

Study: Income inequality continues to grow in La.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) The gap between Louisiana's rich and poor has grown wider over the last three decades, with the poverty-ridden state having among the highest rates of income inequality in the nation, according to a new study released Thursday.
The richest 5 percent of households in Louisiana have average incomes more than 14 times larger than the bottom 20 percent of households, according to data from two Washington, D.C.-based think tanks, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute.
The groups advocate for low- to moderate-income families.
Louisiana has the sixth-widest gap in the country. States with higher income disparity, the study says, are New Mexico, Arizona, California, Georgia and New York.
Average household income for the poorest 20 percent of households in Louisiana grew less than 10 percent since the 1970s, compared to 62 percent for the richest 20 percent in the state, according to the report.
Jan Moller leads the Louisiana Budget Project, the state arm of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. He says he hopes the report is a "wake-up call to legislators and policymakers" as Gov. Bobby Jindal intends to push a revamp of Louisiana's tax code in the next regular legislative session.

The 10 best books of 2017 so far, according to Amazon

One of life's greatest pleasures is opening up a good book for the first time and not setting it down until you've excavated everything inside of it.
Once you leave school and all mandatory English classes with well-informed syllabi, though, the sheer amount of books out there is overwhelming. Sometimes instead of picking the wrong one to devote our time to, we pick none.
If working through a list of the great literary classics doesn't appeal to you and you'd prefer to read something that better engages with now, "best books of the year" lists are going to be the best resource out there, second (maybe) only to word-of-mouth recommendations from close friends.
Below are the 10 books Amazon's book editors think are the best to come out so far this calendar year; many of them have been featured in op-eds and other critical areas of pop culture.
The great thing about such a wide category as "best books of the year" is that you'll get the best without narrowing your search to a genre. Here you have novels and memoirs of vastly different topics and authors, yet they all (at least based on their growing popularity) will pay you back for any cautious investment of your time.
If you have a flight coming up or a long commute to work, one of these 10 might be a great new companion.

1. "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: A novel" by Arundhati Roy
Arundhati Roy's new novel, "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness," is an intricate and graceful story of lives touched by magic, broken by tragedy, and mended with love. It's an exceptional work of storytelling well worth the 20-year wait since "The God of Small Things."

2. "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann
Smart, taut, and gripping, Grann's true-if-largely-unknown tale of big oil and serial murder on the Osage Indian Reservation in the 1920s is sobering for how it is at once unsurprising and unbelievable, full of the arrogance, and inhumanity that our society still has yet to overcome.
3. "Beartown: A Novel" by Fredrik Backman
The author of "A Man Called" sidesteps the predictable as he forges a new path of soul-searching and truth-telling in his gripping new novel about a small, hockey-mad town whose hopes and loyalties are torn apart by a crime no one wants to believe happened.
4. "Exit West: A Novel" by Mohsin Hamid
In Mohsin Hamid's futuristic novel, young lovers flee a war-torn Middle Eastern country to seek safety in the West, where cities like London have become embattled refugee settlements. Hamid (author of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist") has said that in some sense we are all refugees, and it's easy to sympathize with his protagonists, who find their romance tested by their travails in exile.
5. "Priestdaddy: A Memoir" by Patricia Lockwood

Poetically precise language and darkly hilarious observations spark zingers that will make you rethink your own childhood indoctrinations.
6. "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir" by Sherman Alexie

9. "Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body" by Roxane Gay
In this brutally honest and brave memoir, the bestselling author of "Bad Feminist" recounts how a childhood sexual assault led her to purposely gain weight in order to be unseen and therefore feel safe; it's a story that will inspire you to be more considerate of the bodies of others, and more accepting of your own.
10. "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" by Yuval Noah Harari
With "Homo Deus," Yuval Noah Harari follows up his bestselling "Sapiens" — which looked back at the last 70,000 years of human evolution and history — with a look forward. In short, Where do we go from here?

Renato was born in 1998, currently a high-schools student and loves playing music.
Gergo was born in 2002. He is the talker in the family. His motto: "There is one thing that is more fun than going through adventures: talking about it."
We exist to glorify God by helping to "expand the borders" of the Body of Christ (win-build-send) around the World by mobilizing Kingdom Citizens advancing the mission of Jesus for the well being of the city. A practical example and very successful fulfillment of our mission is YTL and the Stories of changes lives. You can read in details about that in Our Book, titled "The Outrageous Promise". Collaboration between the GOVERNMENT, the POLICE and the CHURCH led to YTL and a special project called YTL-Contrast.
Every once in a while God interrupts the Body of Christ. Such moment is written in Acts 15 where leaders needed to come together and recognize that God is doing something new by extending His Grace to the Gentiles. The Body of Christ needed to change and actively pursue this opportunity.
Today we are at such moment when the Church needs to come together and create new, pioneering strategies and collaboration for the issue of Global Urbanization. There evidences of the gigantic urbanization which brings a cultural, societal, behavioral, moral, structural changes are overwhelming. Monthly 5.5 million people around the Globe moves into cities.
The global urbanization accelerates and concentrate problems we've never seen before: we are facing globally unprecedented social, economical, relational and moral crises. Yet the ability of the Church to foster this transformation is very much limited by many factors. Among those we find the inability to identify and effectively answer the future global challenges; the intimidation by irrelevance; the bad theologies and mission-practicies; the lack of vision creativity, innovation and unity; and the lack of bold venture of faith. The only possibility for the Body of Christ to fulfill her God-given mission is if she aggressively expands her border of influence. This requires major paradigm-shifts. The Church needs to answer tomorrow's questions today yet in many areas she still owes to answer some of yesterday's problems. If we can't expand the influence of the Body of Christ, than the World will expand hers.
Our God-given task is to live at the "borders" of the Church where she interacts and meets with the World. We feel compelled to help effectively accelerate the interaction that happens at that "border" in order to speed up the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

Q: Did Einstein ever lead the Kents to Kal-El in the comics? In the Elliot S. Maggin novel Superman: Last Son of Krypton,  an aging Albert Einstein was contacted by a drone that preceded baby Kal-El's ship to Earth.  The drone spoke in Jor-El's voice, told Einstein where the ship would land and beseeched Einstein to ensure that Kal got a proper upbringing.  By subterfuge and circuitous means Einstein located a suitable couple, the Kents, to raise the boy and made sure they were on hand when the fireball streaked across the sky.
I had never heard of this particular wrinkle in the Superman origin story and wonder if it has a basis in the comics literature.
Did Albert Einstein ever have a role in the Superman origin story in the comics, or was this a pure Maggin invention for the novel?


Pete Jaros, a junior transfer student from Homewood, Ill.
Pete Jaros is a junior transfer student from Homewood, Ill. He transferred to AU the spring semester of his sophomore year from Prairie State, a two-year community college near Chicago. He has quickly found his niche at AU by getting involved with the cross country and track and field teams.
After his first year at Prairie State, Jaros was looking for another challenge. He wanted to pursue his education at a four-year institution and also continue running. One of his coaches encouraged him to explore Aurora University, so he met with Ryan Chapman, Head Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track Coach. Jaros liked the small campus and felt like the overall environment would help him focus on his coursework. He also earned scholarships that are allowing him to save money for medical school.

Most aftermarket lower tie-bars use a rod-end bearing type connection for proper fitment. This however allows the subframe to flex under load and minimizes its effectiveness. The Beaks subframe tie-bar design has no pivot points. Its square tube configuration provides excellent rigidity and lightweight.


Interview with Rachelle Dagñalan : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Rachelle Dagñalan : I usually get design inspirations from nature, everyday objects and forms that catch my eye, then I turn them into something useful. The inspiration for Musketeers came from an unusual wireframe streetlight. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Rachelle Dagñalan : Combine function with art, bold yet simple. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Rachelle Dagñalan : Musketeers is soon to be prototyped, and will be available for purchase soon. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Rachelle Dagñalan : I would take note of an idea the moment it gets to my head. Sketch it or do it in 3d, visualize it. Then turn it to its tangible form. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Rachelle Dagñalan : Inspirations move us. I just got inspired then got the urge to make it. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Rachelle Dagñalan : I plan to get it manufactured and be available to the market soon. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Rachelle Dagñalan : The name Musketeers, came from the classics, "The Three Musketeers." The stools have three legs, and are available in three colors, red, black, and white. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Rachelle Dagñalan : Seldom do we see stools with cushioned top, body in sturdy metal, and balances in three legs. The Musketeers has all three. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Rachelle Dagñalan : One challenge is how to keep the stool sturdy with only three legs. The material selection and technical aspects of it play an important role. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Rachelle Dagñalan : To be recognized internationally would be a great honor. Plus, you'll get to know how your designs will be appreciated from a global perspective. Getting a design award is a bonus and I am grateful for that! .

Let's Get Debating
Debates first informational meeting in Mr.Bautista's classroom led by Juliana Martinez and Jaime Olguin— a reporter in the Wolfpack Times.
Amy Chan, Business Manager
Now, in the Fall of 2020, there will be a new elective, the first ever debate class.
"Debate is just being able to support an argument with evidence and valid reasoning while also having the ability to counter an opposing person's arguments and have the ability to ask posing critical questions, while also being able to answer other peoples critical questions," Mr.Bautista said.
The teacher of this class will be Mr.Bautista, who currently also teaches AP US History and Ethnic Studies. He says the class would be about working on public speaking skills, exploring topics students would be interested in, and they would be able to practice for the participation in debate leagues.
Mr.Bautista the new debate teacher and current AP US History and Ethnic Studies teacher.
A goal for this class would be joining the Los Angeles Metropolitan debate league.
"When I spoke to the person who did the Metropolitan debate league, they told me that debate classes and participation is usually just private schools and not that many public schools have these opportunities. In private schools it's generally viewed as a pathway to college, specifically the law field. The Metropolitan debate league also allows students to build connections with local universities like CAL State LA, CAL State Long Beach, USC, and a few others, and through these connections students will be able to learn about some scholarships," said Mr.Bautista.
The class was founded by juniors Juliana Martinez and Jaime Olguin, who is also a reporter in the Wolfpack Times. They were both inspired by the many debates Mr.Bautista has done in his AP US history class. "We've done debates in other years, but they're not as interesting as the ones in his class because you can connect what you are learning to form your arguments and it's really nice when it comes together," Martinez said.
The debate class was at first a club but being able to have a class was more beneficial in order to compete in the debate leagues. "Me and Juliana decided it would be easier for people to commit more in school hours than after school since many people did sports or clubs," Olguin said.
In order to join this year long class there is an application to fill out, be an upperclassmen such as an upcoming junior or senior that has or will be taking either AP US History or AP government, and have a competitive GPA such as a 3.0, if lower there will have to be an interview.
Will the Wolfpack Times win state competition?

The winemaking at Ravine Vineyard is not so much deferential as much as it is a stylistic best described as post modern proletariat. Marty Werner's modern enrichment often acts like subtraction, as opposed to traditional winemaking which effects the obvious, just and because less is more. His work reflects what once was (in turn of the century Niagara Peninsula) and upon what function emerged out of form, but also what could have been, from successes squeezed out of warm (2005, 2007, 2010) and from mistakes in challenging (2006, 2008, 2009) vintages. The current releases of 2014 and 2015 are wines of augmentation in the form of intensification in the structure rather than for weight or texture. Werner's plebeian, blue-collar post-modernism is setting a new standard in Niagara. If his work (along with assistant winemaker Ben Minaker) can be viewed as sycophantic than all the better for the copycats and the apostles to hang on and around.
After a wild and multi-faceted chardonnay (plus) weekend down on the farms of Niagara's flats, shores and across its escarpment benches, it is always the pleasure of pleasures to convene at Ravine Vineyard for a few oysters, a plate of great grub and more chardonnay. It is a time to breath and say another goodbye to the greatest collective consciousness of wine folk on the planet. Then Peter Gamble approaches. "We're having a little impromptu tasting down in the cellar." Marty and Ben lead a small group through these wines. We are captivated and motivated by their new work and their mini-vertical presentation. Ian D'Agata, John Szabo M.S., Michael Vaughan, Tony Aspler, Stephen Campbell, Magdalena Kaiser and I. Here are my notes.
In 2015 winemaker Marty Werner offers up 100 per cent barrel fermented sauvignon blanc aged in 10 per cent new (or just one barrel). The fruit comes from Concession Road 2 between lines 8 and 9, on heavy clay and only four year-old vines. The recovering vineyard is a microcosm for the overall Niagara recovery and the vintage allotted 250 cases when it normally produces upwards of 350. The 2015 ripeness stylistic is up front fruit from young vines. "A pick when you want to, not when you have to vintage" notes assistant winemaker Ben Minaker. Metallic peach and fennel pollen emit and you must appreciate a wine of such tartness on the back end, as opposed to sour patch up front. Stylish is the yeast (one third wild) understatement of the day. Says Werner, "we leave the fruit a bit dirtier coming out of the press," so it gains some funky complexity, but no malo though. The acidity counteracts in the mid to high sevens. Lush antiquarianism is the end result. Drink 2016-2019. Tasted July 2016.

CIYMS on the brink of the Robinson Services Premier League title, Lisburn still favourites for Section 1 and Templepatrick thwarted by the rain on Sunday.
The weekend NCU programme was badly hit by the rain, however CIYMS need only one more win to secure the Robinson Services Premier League title.
On Saturday CIYMS beat Waringstown, at The Lawn, by 7 wickets. The home side set a total of 194 for 6, with captain Greg Thompson scoring 71 not out and Kyle McCallan 46 not out. Alan Coulter was the pick of the CIYMS bowlers, taking three wickets. After a shaky start wher CIYMS lost 3 quick wickets a fine unbeaten partnership between Ryan Hunter (77 not out), and Jason van der Merwe (79 not out), saw CIYMS to a DLS adjusted target of 191, with the loss of only three wickets.
Carrickfergus completed their league programme with a three wicket win against Muckamore. Daniel Poulton took four wickets in the Muckamore innings (158 for 8), with Luke Allen contributing 56 runs. A half century from Jamie Holmes (52) helped Carrickfergus to victory, and a record of 7 wins from fourteen games.
Armagh now need to win their three remaining fixtures to have any chance of Premier League cricket next season. They were beaten by Instonians on Saturday, with Shane Getkate 35 not out, as the home side reached their victory target of 110, with the loss of five wickets. Andrew White took three wickets earlier in the day as Armagh scored 109 for 8, in a game reduced in overs.
North Down had a 58 run victory against CSNI, with Ruhan Pretorious, contributing another all round performance, scoring 56 and taking three wickets. CSNI were bowled out for 123, with Martin Moreland taking two wickets with no runs conceded.
Neither fixture on Sunday escaped the rain and CIYMS will have to wait until their rearranged game agaisnt CSNI on Thursday evening to have the opportunity to seal the league title.
In Section 1 Lisburn maintained their position at the top of Section 1 with a convincing 87 win over Lurgan. Holywood moved in to second place by themselves with 45 run win over Bangor. At the bottom wins for Donacloney Mill and Laurelvale meant that Lurgan's brief respite from the relegation places lasted only a few days. There are still two weekends of fixtures to go in Section 1 so still quite a bit to play for at the top and bottom.
In Section 2 Templepatrick must wait another week to claim the Section 2 trophy as their game against Dundrum fell foul of Sunday's bad weather. Second placed Cliftonville Academy beat Cooke Collegians by 6 wickets on Saturday to keep their hopes of winning Section 2 alive for one more game although Templepatrick's net run rate will take some overhauling. Ballymena had a comfortable win over Dunmurry and could still sneak in to the second promotion slot if Cliftonville Academy slip up in their remaining fixture against BISC.

Inventing a Sport
Why Leicester City, West Ham and Crystal Palace Won't Finish in the Top Six
Sports writing is primarily about making mistakes, about being proved wrong. Therefore we might as well start this blog with a bold(ish) prediction, that will, come the end of the season look entirely stupid. When Burnley's Ben Mee holds the Premier League title aloft, and a some how still upbeat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prepares for a season in the Sky Bet Championship, I'm sure that this post will be e-mailed, whatsapped and Facebook messengered to me, to remind me of what an idiot I once was.
That said, I'm going to make the prediction anyway. Come May, there is no chance, absolutely no chance, zilch, nul points, that any of Leicester City, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Burnley or whatever other tinpot no hoper club you can think will finish in the top 6. Instead, like virtually every other season before it, the same mega-rich, oil money, Texan billionaire run, super clubs will populate the upper echelons of the Premier League. I'm of course talking about Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and the two Manchester clubs.
Before I get started with the hows and the whys, I want to tackle the narrative that gets built up season after season by both the traditional forms of media and social media. Prior to the start of the season everyone has a very rigid forecast of what is going to happen over the next ten or so months. Pundits from all stations predict the same six clubs to finish at the top of the table, the clubs that finished mid-table last season to finish in the middle again, whilst those who just got promoted will go straight back down.
This pre-season prediction is how certainly for the start of the season at least, we measure each sides successes and failures. Therefore, when a big club falls short of these expectation, even if it's only October, even if they've only lost 2 or 3 games, they are then perceived to be in CRISIS. And when a club hits crisis mode, they should sack the manager, sell all the players, knock down the stadium and execute the chairman. Just burn down the whole club and start all over again as nothing good can come from a club in crisis. They are done. Finished.
Whereas for the small town club that has nicked their place in the top six, well the good times are going to roll on forever. First, they'll finish fourth, but that's just the start, then it's on to the Champions League, Mark Noble's going to nutmeg Messi at the Nou Camp. Then onto the World Cup, World Series, Super Bowl, let's all get carried away because little old Burnley are fifth. The good times are never going to end, we're into a new era of football, the big six clique is dead.
Alas, no.
Let's look at the facts. Tottenham have had by their own standards a poor start to the season. They got knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Colchester, they got thumped 7-2 by Bayern Munich and last weekend Spurs got humiliated 3-0 at the hands of Brighton. Crisis. But despite all this Tottenham sit in ninth, not last, and are currently only 3 points off Crystal Palace who lie in sixth.
Do we really expect a Tottenham side made up of a world-class striker in Harry Kane, as well as Son Heung-Min, Christian Eriksen and the exceptionally solid pairing of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, not to be able to make up the three point gap they have between them and Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace? Of course not. Tottenham are out of form, but they also have a great squad, a fantastic manager and they reached the Champions League final literally just a few months ago. They're a quality team, it's just a blip.
Let's also consider Chelsea and Arsenal's season to date. The prevailing opinion at the start of the season was that both these clubs would be in and around the top four positions, but could also slip into the Europa League spots. Then the season started. Chelsea lost 4-0 to Man Utd and Arsenal lost 3-0 to Liverpool. The crisis word wasn't being banded around just yet, but preparations were being made. Chris Sutton was preparing his 'you're better than that' rant, whilst Danny Murphy was perfecting his best frowny face for when he next had to talk about Arsenal's defence. Even as recently last week, one Guardian journalist described the Man Utd vs Arsenal fixture as being like a mid-table fixture.
Yet, in reality, Arsenal have bounced back quickly and sit comfortably in third, only behind Liverpool and Manchester City. Frank Lampard has bedded in his youngsters and got his Chelsea team up to sixth. Both these teams are now going about their business fairly pleasantly, and it's exceptionally unlikely that either of these teams will drop below sixth throughout the rest of the season. Odd considering that only a few weeks ago every talksport phone-in and twitter banter account was painting the picture that both these teams were set for a season of woe and misery.
The only superclub that risks making me look like a fool is Manchester United. They are increasingly looking bereft of ideas, and seem to lack quality in various areas of the pitch particularly going forward. But even despite this, I still remain confident that the Red Devils will finish in the top 6. As clubs like United always do.
Ever since Leicester City won the Premier League title in 2016, the super clubs have built a wall around the top six positions. They've consistently spent more and paid higher wages than the rest of the sides in England's top flight. For the past three seasons, the same six clubs have finished in the top six positions. Prior to that one or two clubs might drift out of these positions, but usually only when hampered by a deep run in both the cups or the Europa League. As bad as Manchester United are right now, they're still a team that on paper is far superior to Leicester, West Ham or whoever else is above them, due to years and years of higher spending. Therefore, history dictates that Manchester United should make up the ground on their smaller rivals.
The truth is, we like to buy into these narratives of huge clubs in decline or little underdogs sticking it up to the big boys because we want them to be true. We want to believe that anyone can beat anyone, that tactics and desire can beat pounds and dollars. We want to believe that the football we are watching (and the society we live in for that matter) is a meritocracy, that it's fair. But, unfortunately, time and time again, this has been proven to be false. The league table might look a little bit topsy turvy now, but come May, it will be the same old faces sitting at the top of the tree.

Bedwetting is considered a medical problem only after a child is at least three years old. Almost 15% of children above the age of three continue to wet their beds, and more boys wet their beds than girls. Sometimes it can be the sign of an emotional problem, but most children stop it on their own before puberty.
Join our online group on bedwetting. Ask questions, get answers from other experienced parents and experts, and learn more.
Would you like to join the Bedwetting / Enuresis support group?
Are you sure you want to be removed from the Bedwetting / Enuresis support group?
1. Which doctor should I consult if my son has the habit of bed wetting?
You can go to a Pediatrician or a Psychiatrist.
2. When will a child stop bedwetting?
Common bedwetting is not a mental or learning problem, and punishing your child will never provide a solution. In fact, a child who is punished for wetting the bed can develop emotional problems which may make the bedwetting problem more intense than stop it. Every child is different and most children outgrow bedwetting.
3. What is the role of parents?
Parents should be helpful for supportive treatments to be effective. Accusing or threatening the child could make the childs condition worse. First of all, control fluid intake, it should be limited for up to two to three hours before bedtime. Rewards, like toys or favorite foods may be given for staying dry at night to motivate the child.


The fish of the fortnight was Sablefish! It came with this note about where the fish came from which was interesting: "Sablefish is also known as Black Cod and is brought to us by local fisherman, Don Pemberton, of the F/V Stacy Joanne. To learn more about Don, you can read his bio on the Faces of California Fishing site here." They also recommended a Miso recipe in case you were stuck and not sure what to do with it, but Jerome and I had other ideas. There was enough fish for two meals, so we decided to try two totally different methods and flavours. Jerome took the lead on the first recipe going for an asian style preparation.
This is how we received the fish, nicely packaged and labelled and brought home in our little cooler.
It was really beautiful fish. The bones were still in and the skin on, but we left them to remove when we were eating them. The fillets were cut really nicely, and in pretty even portions so we didn't have to worry about them cooking unevenly. We rinsed and patted the fish dry.
Being the sous-chef, I was instructed to julien the green onions and a whole bunch of ginger. As well as being in charge of cooking the green beans.
Meanwhile, Jerome was making a marinade from soy sauce, hoisin, black bean paste, sesame oil and green chilies. As well as a homemade 5 spice powder (cinnamon, cloves, star anise, sichuan pepper and fennel).
We poured the marinade over the fish, topping it with the ginger. Just before this we had to plan ahead an figure out how to build our own steamer since we don't have one. We marinated the fish on the plate that would be used for steaming for about 15 minutes.
Here is our custom steamer. We took our large saucepan, and placed two chopsticks in it. Then we filled it with enough water to not quite cover the chopsticks and brought it to a boil. Once it was ready we placed the conveniently sized plate on the chopsticks and voila!
We steamed it for about 5-8 minutes until it flaked beautifully when we poked it.
The final step which Jerome had seen in a youtube video which I can't find was to top it off with green onions then heat up some oil until very hot, and drizzle a tiny bit of the oil on top of everything. It makes this crazy sizzling noise which apparently is the key and it sort of flash cooks the onions where it hits and finishes everything off.
We were both really impressed and happy with how it turned out. We were apprehensive at first never having cooked this type of fish, and not wanting to ruin it, but not to worry, it was stellar! The flavours, though strong, didn't overpower the fish, and it was so flaky and moist.
Stay tuned for part B where I try my hand at baked lemon butter sablefish!
Ahhhh!!! This looks amazing. I love these boxes, I'm so jealous.
I attempted to make seared ahi tuna last night with a creme brulee torch...total fail.


Although I cannot remember the term inerrancy ever being used to describe the authority of the Bible in the churches I grew up in, I can look back and assume that most people probably believed the Bible was the inerrant written word of God.
(1) Biblical inerrancy is a crucial doctrine for church and denominational health, and it must be affirmed by the leadership of the convention and the professors in the seminaries. If inerrancy is denied, the SBC will compromise in such a way that it will lead to cultural accommodation and decline similar to mainline, more progressive denominations.
(2) Biblical inerrancy is a man-made doctrine created to make the Bible the counter-authority to the authority of science that took hold in the West during modernity. Someone can "believe the Bible" without affirming inerrancy, and the doctrine should not be a litmus test for fellowship. Further, the ones seeking to advance the cause of inerrancy are mostly interested in power and will do whatever it takes to get it.
Those who believe biblical inerrancy was a crucial doctrine for church and denominational health won the "war," and those who "lost" were clumped together in a large group of "moderate Baptists." Most of the men and women who taught within the Baptist schools I attended were moderate Baptists. These men and women were, and still are, influential in my life, and, therefore, I viewed the doctrine of inerrancy through their lenses.
This would probably be the end of the story, but I also attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, for my first year of seminary before transferring to Truett Seminary for my final two years. GCTS is an interdenominational evangelical seminary. It was here that I was exposed to Northern evangelical life and a robust, intellectually deep evangelical faith. Unencumbered by the battles in the SBC, I was also taught the doctrine and importance of biblical inerrancy by a Presbyterian professor.
When I graduated from Truett Seminary, I entered pastoral ministry. As a pastor, I began to rethink the suspicion and disagreement I had for the doctrine of inerrancy and ultimately came to a place where I affirm the Chicago Statement of Inerrancy (1978). The rethinking came from two sources.
First, the practice of preaching sermons each week caused me to rethink what I believed about the Bible.
When I preach, do I believe God's Word has authority?
How should I understand that authority?
Do I believe God's Word has power?
Questions such as these would take place each week as I opened the Bible and sought to be a faithful expositor.
Second, I was confronted with the challenges, hurts and disillusionment that can accompany being a pastor. As I struggled with these powerful emotions, I looked for truth that could sustain and encourage me. I needed to know, desperately, that what I was doing as a pastor was important and not a waste of my life. As I came to God's Word, I found part of the nourishment, encouragement and bedrock I needed.
It is important to note that what drove me to affirming inerrancy was not primarily the reading of academic debates about inerrancy. There is a place for these debates, and anyone can find top-level scholars who affirm or disagree with inerrancy. I've read deeply on both sides of these debates.
The reality I came to, though, was not how many scholars I could line up to affirm my belief. I either believed it or I did not. Therefore, my affirmation of inerrancy came through the act of preaching, walking through the challenges of pastoral ministry and, yes, study and research.
I don't deny these realities. All I can say is that I've come to a place where I affirm inerrancy and hope that, at some point, this doctrine can be revisited and, perhaps, affirmed without the hurt and baggage of the SBC wars.

Q: How to use the values from a dictionary appropriately in a function I'm working on a piece of code and I can't seem to figure out how to use the items from the dictionary in the function. I want the output to give several lines, in this manner:
Christy is normal weight
Edward is obese
Helena is overweight
George is overweight
Sophia is normal weight

The function has to contain the parameters sex, waist and hip. I tried several things but it still doesn't work. So I'm trying to get this code to work and give the desired output.
christy = {"name": "Christy", "sex": "female", "waist": 73, "hip": 93}
edward = {"name": "Edward", "sex": "male", "waist": 110, "hip": 110}
helena = {"name": "Helena", "sex": "female", "waist": 77, "hip": 92}
george = {"name": "George", "sex": "male", "waist": 91, "hip": 101}
sophia = {"name": "Sophia", "sex": "female", "waist": 76, "hip": 96}

people = [christy, edward, helena, george, sophia]

def waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip):
    if sex == "female":
        waist1 = waist
        hip1 = hip
        whr = waist1 / hip1
        if whr < 0.8:
            return "person is normal weight"
        elif 0.8 <= whr <= 0.84:
            return "person is overweight"
        else:
            return "person is obese"
    if sex == "male":
        waist2 = waist
        hip2 = hip
        whr = waist2 / hip2
        if whr < 0.9:
            return "person is normal weight"
        elif 0.9 <= whr <= 0.99:
            return "person is overweight"
        else:
            return "person is obese"
    for person in people:
        if person == christy:
            name = christy.get("name")
            sex = christy.get("sex")
            waist = christy.get("waist")
            hip = christy.get("hip")
            print(name and waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))
        if person == edward:
            sex = edward.get("sex")
            waist = edward.get("waist")
            hip = edward.get("hip")
            print(name and waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))
        if person == helena:
            sex = helena.get("sex")
            waist = helena.get("waist")
            hip = helena.get("hip")
            print(name and waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))
        if person == george:
            sex = george.get("sex")
            waist = george.get("waist")
            hip = george.get("hip")
            print(name and waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))
        if person == sophia:
            sex = sophia.get("sex")
            waist = sophia.get("waist")
            hip = sophia.get("hip")
            print(name and waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))

A: This code works. If you have any questions I am happy to answer them in the comments.
christy = {"name": "Christy", "sex": "female", "waist": 73, "hip": 93}
edward = {"name": "Edward", "sex": "male", "waist": 110, "hip": 110}
helena = {"name": "Helena", "sex": "female", "waist": 77, "hip": 92}
george = {"name": "George", "sex": "male", "waist": 91, "hip": 101}
sophia = {"name": "Sophia", "sex": "female", "waist": 76, "hip": 96}

people = [christy, edward, helena, george, sophia]

def waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip):
    if sex == "female":
        waist1 = waist
        hip1 = hip
        whr = waist1 / hip1
        if whr < 0.8:
            return "person is normal weight"
        elif 0.8 <= whr <= 0.84:
            return "person is overweight"
        else:
            return "person is obese"
    if sex == "male":
        waist2 = waist
        hip2 = hip
        whr = waist2 / hip2
        if whr < 0.9:
            return "person is normal weight"
        elif 0.9 <= whr <= 0.99:
            return "person is overweight"
        else:
            return "person is obese"
for person in people:
    name = person["name"]
    sex = person["sex"]
    waist = person["waist"]
    hip = person["hip"]
    print(waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip).replace("person" , name))

Output:
Christy is normal weight
Edward is obese
Helena is overweight
George is overweight
Sophia is normal weight

A: Here is something you can do:
christy = {"name": "Christy", "sex": "female", "waist": 73, "hip": 93}
edward = {"name": "Edward", "sex": "male", "waist": 110, "hip": 110}
helena = {"name": "Helena", "sex": "female", "waist": 77, "hip": 92}
george = {"name": "George", "sex": "male", "waist": 91, "hip": 101}
sophia = {"name": "Sophia", "sex": "female", "waist": 76, "hip": 96}

people = [christy, edward, helena, george, sophia]

for person in people:
    if person['sex'] == 'male': # Set the thresholds depending on gender for each iteration
        a, b = 0.9, 0.99
    else:
        a, b = 0.8, 0.84

    if person['waist']/person['hip'] < a:
        print(f"{person['name']} is normal weight")
    elif b >= person['waist']/person['hip'] >= a:
        print(f"{person['name']} is overweight")
    else:
        print(f"{person['name']} is obese")

Output:
Christy is normal weight
Edward is obese
Helena is overweight
George is overweight
Sophia is normal weight

A: Here are the changes I made to your code:

*

*Changed "person is {weight type}" to just returning "{weight type}" so you can add the person's name after.

*Removed the useless variables weight1, hip1, weight2, hip2.

*Changed if to elif so python only checks once (optional change)

*Took the for loop out of the function that calculates the weight type of every person.

*Removed all the if statements from the for loop - instead of checking if the person is equal the one of the variables and then taking the values out of the variable, you could just take the values out of the person variable instead!

*Fixed the print statement in the loop so it prints out in the format you requested.

Here's the new code:
christy = {"name": "Christy", "sex": "female", "waist": 73, "hip": 93}
edward = {"name": "Edward", "sex": "male", "waist": 110, "hip": 110}
helena = {"name": "Helena", "sex": "female", "waist": 77, "hip": 92}
george = {"name": "George", "sex": "male", "waist": 91, "hip": 101}
sophia = {"name": "Sophia", "sex": "female", "waist": 76, "hip": 96}

people = [christy, edward, helena, george, sophia]

def waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip):
    if sex == "female":
        whr = waist / hip
        if whr < 0.8:
            return "normal weight"
        elif 0.8 <= whr <= 0.84:
            return "overweight"
        else:
            return "obese"
    elif sex == "male":
        whr = waist / hip
        if whr < 0.9:
            return "normal weight"
        elif 0.9 <= whr <= 0.99:
            return "overweight"
        else:
            return "obese"

for person in people:
    name = person.get("name")
    sex = person.get("sex")
    waist = person.get("waist")
    hip = person.get("hip")
    print(name, "is", waist_to_hip_ratio_2(sex, waist, hip))

Moustapha Fall got ASVEL going with a layup but Eric and Darrun Hilliard quickly put CSKA ahead, 6-2. Hilliard struck from downtown before Yabusele and Cole kept the guests within 9-7. Eric kept pacing CSKA with a put-back layup and Daniel Hackett matched Antoine Diot's floater with a jumper. Ismael Bako stepped up for ASVEL and Derrick Walton took over with a four-point play but Voigtmann and Lundberg kept CSKA ahead, 18-15, after 10 minutes. Voigtmann and Lundberg kept pacing CSKA early in the second quarter. Bako detonated an alley-oop slam but Voigtmann struck from beyond the arc and added a tip-in to make ASVEL call timeout at 28-17. Janis Strelnieks scored in penetration and Lundberg added a jumper but Cole and Yabusele each hit a triple to keep ASVEL within 32-23. Yabusele and Semen Antonov traded three-pointers and Eric scored twice in the paint to restore a 39-26 CSKA margin. Cole followed a jumper with a triple and got help from Diot and David Lighty to bring ASVEL within 42-36 at halftime.
Fall scored down low soon after the break. Will Clyburn followed a jumper with a coast-to-coast layup and Eric dunked twice for a 50-42 CSKA lead. Diot buried a three-pointer and Yabusele scored in the paint but Eric and Nikita Kurbanov each dunked to give CSKA fresh air at 54-47. Yabusele and Cole hit their third three-pointers, Lighty added a three-point play and Paul Lacombe's driving layup completed the guests' comeback, 56-58. Bako hit free throws and Lundberg kept CSKA within 58-60 after 30 minutes. Lundberg buried a floater early in the fourth quarter. Charles Kahudi and Yabusele each struck from downtown to let ASVEL regain a 62-66 lead. Lundberg joined the three-point shootout and fed Eric for a wild alley-oop dunk. Daniel Hackett swished a jumper and a red hot Lundberg added a huge four-point play and a floater that boosted CSKA's lead to 75-66. Eric made a put-back layup and Hackett sealed the outcome with a three-pointer that capped an 18-0 run, 80-66, allowing CSKA to lock up second place in the regular season standings.

Pivotal performer
Michael Eric was a dominant force at both ends, especially on offense, getting as many as five dunks. He finished the game with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals for a PIR of 27. His 10 two-point shots made are the most for CSKA player since Nenad Krstic had 11 against Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul on February 14, 2014.
Game-changing moment
ASVEL led 62-66 early in the fourth quarter, but when CSKA needed answers on offense, Iffe Lundberg stepped up. He hit a three-pointer, found Michael Eric for an alley-oop slam, and soon added a four-point play and a floater in an 18-0 run that put CSKA ahead for good, 80-66.
Stellar stat
CSKA limited its turnovers to just 6 and forced ASVEL to pick up as many as 15. CSKA had a much better shooting percentage than ASVEL inside the arc, hitting 23 of 39 two-pointers (59.0%). ASVEL hit 14 of its 30 attempts for a 46.7% two-point shooting rate.
CSKA continues its great run against French teams in the Russian capital. It has a 22-1 record against French squads in Moscow. ASVEL was the only French team to ever beat CSKA in Moscow, 83-91 on March 8, 2001, behind 34 points from Bill Howard. Those 22 CSKA home wins against French teams were by an average margin of 22.4 points.
CSKA will play a rescheduled Round 25 game against Panathinaikos OPAP Athens on Wednesday, April 14 before it gets set to start its EuroLeague Playoffs series in the Russian capital on Tuesday, April 20. ASVEL has played its final game in its 2020-21 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season.

"The competition is at the high level, so we do not expect that anything is for granted. Is anything for granted in life? You need to struggle and fight to get it, especially in these circumstances we are facing. This is another adversity we had again. We missed Toko [Shengelia] in one practice before the game, we have Joel [Bolomboy] sidelined, but the players responded very well. This is one of the wins, among other wins, that we are going to remember with fondness because we shared the hardship, we shared the difficulties and we prevailed. Even though we had bad moments in the third quarter, they hit some big shots and run of 10-0, overall, the 30-10 in the last quarter gave us the win. So, congratulations to my team. With this win, we secured the second spot, so congratulations to them."
"First of all, congratulations to the team and to those who are going to participate for the first time in a playoff series, with the home-court advantage as well, with one game left, so congratulations. We are in the second spot in this very competitive league. You saw what happened in all games. This ASVEL team beat twice Barcelona and they are leading the league. We had a lot of results out there. It is a very competitive league and that shows what kind of basketball was played this year, how competitive. Teams suffered with COVID and injuries and unfortunately among them, we are very probably the champions of that so far. We had another accident with Toko [Shengelia] and he couldn't participate in this game. But still, as I said to my players, these are some of the wins, when you are missing players, significant ones, due to injuries, you will remember with fondness because we shared the hardship. And today, we had a lot of hardship to share. We were playing against a very physical team, with size, that shot the ball pretty well and has a lot of creators and great defenders. We opened it pretty well and controlled that until the last 0-8 in the second quarter. So the closure of the second quarter was very bad for us, allowing that 0-8. Then in the third quarter, we had our lapses and this is what we cannot allow. We talked a lot in the timeouts and the fact that we found a good lineup over there, with Iffe [Lundberg] being great on creation, Eric and JoJo [Voigtmann] playing together, in that moment we managed to change their idea of playing small ball, playing Yabusele at '4' or at '5'. Pretty much we controlled the boards, we were very aggressive and we had that 18-0 run, answering to all the lapses we had in the third quarter. The last quarter, 30-10, was great. Congratulations and thank you to the fans for their support. I hope we stay healthy and have the players back, that is the most important thing."
PARKER, TJ
"They had too many offensive rebounds in the first half. You cannot give too many second-chance points to a team like CSKA Moscow. Overall, it is too bad because we came back and fought through it. When you play for 35 minutes and disappear in the last 5 minutes... Congratulations to them. They made big shots and had a big game, but we should have played for 40 minutes. I think it was a good season for us. Of course, we have a lot of disappointment because we had a lot of big wins. I think we showed we could play with anybody in the EuroLeague this year, that is the positive thing for future seasons."
LUNDBERG, IFFE
"We made mistakes in the second half. Some defensive collapses in the second half, miscommunications, allowed them to make open shots but I think throughout the whole game, we managed to fight through adversity and pulled out the W."
ERIC, MICHAEL
"ASVEL is a EuroLeague team, a high-level team. But I think we responded based on what we had and the players we had to play, and we stepped up."

Many professional athletes go through a process called "visualization" or mental rehearsal. This is effictive because of the fact that as you imagine an activity, the neurons in your brain fire in exactly the same patterns they would follow if you were actually performing the activity. It is believed that these movements, along with contractions in your muscles, are responsible for improved neuromuscular coordination.
Science has shown that actions learned by visualization are better retained than actions learned by actual performance.
