It was hard to get through the 1970s without seeing Paul Williams pop up somewhere. Not only a prolific and popular songwriter, but he was also an actor who starred in many films and countless television shows and frequent talk-show guest appearances because of his quick wit. He played all sorts of characters and sometimes even just himself. We all loved Paul Williams as "Little Enos Burdette" in the great Burt Reynolds motion picture Smokey and The Bandit and each sequel. Who could ever forget Paul Williams as Virgil in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Younger folks might recognize him as the voice of the Penguin in Batman: The Animated Series. His recent appearance in the Amazon original drama Goliath starring opposite Billy Bob Thornton was sensational. He's also had the thankless job of being president of American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers or ASCAP. When asked if he ever dreamed that his song "Rainbow Connection" touched so many people, he responded, "The longer I'm alive, the little less I have to do with the song, in a lot of ways."
It's tough to just compose a top 10 Paul Williams songs list because the man has written so many brilliant songs in his lifetime as well as had a huge hand in many television themes. Paul Williams played a role in writing the theme songs for the television shows as a lyricist for such classics as The Love Boat and he McLean Stevenson Show. Paul Williams has also scored many motion pictures such as Bugsy Malone in 1976, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas in 1977, The End in 1978, The Muppet Movie in 1979, The Night They Saved Christmas in 1984, Ishtar in 1987, The Muppet Christmas Carol in 1992 and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004
One of Paul Williams career highlights in our opinion was the music he composed and scored for the Brian De Palma cult classic film Phantom of the Paradise which was released in 1974. Additionally, the role Paul Williams played as Swan is one of his greatest moments on the silver screen. The music for that picture was just simply fabulous.
Before we get into the top 10 we wanted to create a special category of Paul Williams songs that Three Dog Night recorded and had huge hits with, so at number 11 we we open this list with these three Paul Williams penned Three Dog Night songs
# – Three Dog Night Songs – Out In The Country –
"Out in the Country" was written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. It was released on the Three Dog Night album entitled "It Ain't Easy." The song was a big hit reaching the number 15 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.
# – Three Dog Night Songs – Family Of Man –
This great Paul Williams songs was released on the album Harmony. It was written by Paul Williams and Jack Conrad. The song hit number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.
# – Three Dog Night Songs – Just An Old Fashioned Love Song –
This is easily one of Paul Williams greatest songs. The song was also released on the album Harmony. The song hit number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. It became one of Three Dog Night's signature songs and stands as one of the greatest rock ballads released in the 1970s.
# 10 – Evergreen
This was a huge hit for Barbara Streisand, who wrote the melody. Decades Later, Paul Williams would describe how shy Barbara Streisand was when she played the melody on guitar for him, hoping he could come up with lyrics. He certainly did. He also suggested to Streisand to not change one note of the melody. The song would go on to win a Grammy, some Golden Globes and the Oscar for Best Original Song for the 1976 hit film A Star Is Born. Because of its popularity, this was arguably one of the most overplayed songs on the radio during the late 1970s. The version below is done by Paul Williams for his 2004 compilation album Evergreens: The Best of the A&M Years.
# 9 – Fill Your Heart
Any song that David Bowie thought worthy to cover deserves listing on any top 10 Paul Williams song list. This was the only cover song that appeared on David Bowie's 1971 classic album Hunky Dory. It was also covered by Tiny Tim. This time Paul Williams collaborated with Biff Rose, the guy that got Paul Williams into the music business. "Fill Your Heart" originally appeared on Biff Rose's 1968 debut album from The Thorn in Mrs. Rose's Side. David Bowie saw Biff Rose perform in 1971 but had already begun performing the song live a year earlier.
# 8 – Touch
Collaborating with others is nothing new for Paul Williams, but this time he worked with Daft Punk, a heavily electric and amazingly eccentric French duo. Two of their songs appeared on the acclaimed 2012 album Random Access Memories, which is an homage to the music scene in 1970s Los Angeles. "Touch" is an eight-and-a-half-minute epic journey from robotic musical dots against the wind to Paul Williams singing against a lone piano. This is something wildly different from all of the other songs on the list and just plain audacious coming from a guy in his 70s writing with two guys pretending to be robots.
# 7 – To Put Up With You
Paul Williams is best when he looks at the peculiar side of love. Here, he and collaborator Roger Nichols have a frank "it's not you, it's me" discussion with a female admirer. The original version has a typical 1970's overdone arrangement, but the song itself is strong enough to delight, despite the dated arrangement. It appears on his 1970 debut album Someday Man.
# 6 – Carpenters Hits – Rainy Days and Mondays / I Won't Last A Day Without You/ We've Only Just Begun
Paul Williams said that some songs took twenty minutes to write and some took months. This was one of the latter. For the tune, he collaborated with Roger Nichols. For two songwriters just starting out, it was a huge honor for The Carpenters to decide to cover the song in 1971 on their hit album Carpenters, or the Tan Album as fans call it. Paul Williams' version did not come out until 1974 on his hit album Here Comes Inspiration. It features a lovely finale consisting of just strings. Another uncredited collaborator was Paul Williams' mom, who often said, "I'm feeling old", which inspired the opening line, "Talking to myself and feeling old." And of course we could not forget the other two Carpenters classics that Paul Williams penned with Roger Nichols,
# 5 – Nilsson Sings Newman
This is a great pop song compressed into 55 seconds. The title refers to a popular album at the time, which has since mostly disappeared into obscurity, 1970's Nilsson Sings Newman, where Harry Nilsson did a whole album of Randy Newman covers. You don't really need to know that to get the song, which is basically about the age-old song topic of a guy trying to get a girl into bed. This also was a collaboration with a musician in his band, Kenny Ascher. It appears as the opening track to Paul Williams' 1974 album, Here Comes Inspiration.
# 4 – What Would They Say
This is yet another song from Here Comes Inspiration because that was a real stand-out album. This song later appeared as the theme song to the 1976 telemovie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, which starred a little-known actor called John Travolta. In interviews years later, Paul Williams would talk about how he loved it when someone came up to him and said they got married to this song.
# 3 – You and Me Against the World
Paul Williams and longtime collaborator and bandmate Kenny Ascher voiced what perhaps all couples feel at times, that everyone in the world is against them. It's not exactly a theme song for the paranoid, since the song gives evidence of the world going after them, such as a particularly scary circus clown. This song is flexible enough for "you and me" to be interpreted as two lovers or as a parent and child. The song has been covered extensively, most notably by Helen Reddy, featuring her daughter Traci, in 1974. "You and Me Against the World" first appeared on Paul Williams' 1974 album, Here Comes Inspiration.
# 2 – Rainbow Connection
When Paul Williams did a guest spot on The Muppet Show in 1976, Jim Henson asked him to do Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas (1977). Jim Henson was so impressed, that he asked Paul Williams to do the soundtrack for the first Muppet movie. Paul Williams felt he needed his friend and collaborator Kenneth Ascher for help. Paul Williams promised to keep Jim Henson in the loop as to how the songs were going. Jim Henson replied, "Oh, that's all right, Paul. I'll hear them in the studio when we record them. I know they'll be terrific." And Jim Henson's faith was fully justified. The Muppet Movie soundtrack would be nominated for many awards, including two Oscars. "Rainbow Connection" is the show-stopper of the soundtrack and riveting opening song of the movie, where Kermit the Frog waxes poetic on a lily pad. Paul Williams stated in a 2016 interview that he was trying to write something similar to "When You Wish Upon a Star."
# 1 – I Hope that Somethin' Better Comes Along
Like with "Rainbow Connection," this was a song written for The Muppet Movie (1979) with then-collaborator Kenneth Ascher. This is one of the funniest songs you'll hear about men and women, couched in the terms of how they give Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog the blues. This actually was Jim Henson in a duet with himself, since he was the voice of both Muppets. With songs like this, appealing to both children and adults, it's no wonder The Muppet Movie soundtrack soon went gold and was nominated for several prestigious awards. That's why it tops our list of best Paul Williams songs.

Cool article! GREAT LIST! But not even a mention of "Phantom of the Paradise?"
Canadian DJ Alan Cross of "The Ongoing History of New Music" makes a decent case that some of Williams" work in that movie helped set the stage for Goth.
And Williams acting in that movie is part of the reason it's a cult classic.
Thanks for the comment but we did indeed mention the movie Phantom Of The Paradise.
@Brian.
Oops! My bad. Missed that!


Lau started his career by displaying his art in small galleries in Hong Kong, where Lau worked as a window display designer, before searching for employment in the advertising industry. In 1997, Lau was hired to illustrate the cover art for the Anodize electronic music album. In 1998, he began the Gardener comic strip in East Touch magazine for which he is best known for. The characters featured in this comic strip were the basis for his first series of vinyl collectible figures. In 1999, his work became popular enough to attract the attention of the Sony corporation, who exclusively distributed a selection of his Gardener pieces in Asia. Lau signed a contract with Sony which lasted until 2003. During this time, Lau continued to work steadily, creating illustrations and vinyl figures in a graffiti-influenced style.

Virgin Media ready to pounce on UKTV stake as it focuses on television ambitions
David Bouchier, Virgin Media's television chief, confirmed the company's bid for a stake in UKTV
24 April 2016 • 9:31pm
Media and Telecoms industry
Virgin Media is weighing a bid for the BBC's stake in UKTV, one of its senior executives has revealed in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
David Bouchier, the cable operator's television chief, said it would "absolutely" be able to take on the 50pc stake in a joint venture with the US media group Scripps.
"Are we one of the few businesses in the UK that could actually deliver on that? Absolutely"
David Bouchier, television chief at Virgin Media
The Government is understood to be considering forcing the BBC to sell UKTV, which is behind 10 pay-TV and advertising-funded channels including Dave and Gold. Asked whether Virgin Media would bid, Mr Bouchier said: "Will we look at and are we being invited to look at all sorts of things, absolutely.
"Are we one of the few businesses in the UK that could actually deliver on that? Absolutely."
The ownership of UKTV has come into question as part of the once-a-decade review of the BBC Charter.
If Virgin Media were to emerge as a joint owner of the broadcaster it would represent a circular path for the cable operator. Its forerunner company was involved in the creation of UKTV in the early 1990s. Virgin Media sold its stake to Scripps only five years ago for £339m.
The US media group is likely to compete to acquire UKTV outright if the BBC is forced to sell. Scripps has made multiple attempts to persuade the corporation's commercial arm to sell voluntarily, according to industry sources.
In his first interview since joining Virgin Media, Mr Bouchier also revealed the company is preparing to launch a new set-top box to rival Sky's new premium service Sky Q, as well as upgrades to its existing 3.7 million boxes.

Gold outlook for Q4 2020: Trade turbulence and Middle East tensions still to dominate
Nitesh Shah
We ended 2019 with one crisis averted as US and China reached a "phase one" trade deal. But as 2020 started, tensions between US and Iran flared. In this blog, we look at how Middle East and trade frictions might continue to affect gold prices during 2020.

Japan in 2020: Surprises on the horizon?
Jesper Koll
2020 is poised to be a great year for Japan. Exports get lifted by the re-acceleration of Chinese demand; and domestic demand surprises on the upside because of strong business investment, fiscal support and a steadfast rise in the purchasing power of Japanese employees. However, there will be surprises not captured by the quantitative models of the experts or the current consensus "wisdom" of the crowds.

El-Erian's views on the US divergence
Professor Siegel and Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz and Senior Global Fellow at the Joseph Lauder Institute at the Wharton School, joined us on our 'Behind the Markets' podcast last week. It was a great wide-ranging conversation on why El-Erian sees a divergence for the US economy over Europe and other international markets and why he still favours the US as investment destination over other countries.

Nickel rally defies industrial metals rut
Nickel is a silvery-white metal that is known for its ability to make steel and other alloys better able to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments. After this recent strong rally, it is also now getting a reputation for strengthening people's investment portfolios.

Platinum surfs on gold's rising tide
Gold's rally has lifted most of the precious metals complex over the past two months, with silver and platinum following closely on its coattails. In this blog, Nitesh Shah illustrates this correlation.

Oil price shock could be followed by large geopolitical tremors
Drone attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities by Houthi rebels over the weekend have sent oil prices spiking higher. The hit to production volume is large and could be larger if Houthi rebels follow through with their threat of further attacks.

Faster than a speeding (silver) bullet
Silver has followed gold's coattails higher, surpassing our forecasts and snapping out of a pessimistic period that had besieged the metal in the first five months of 2019. However, silver could peak much higher at the end of Q3 2019.
Nitesh Shah / Geopolitical Risks, Gold, Commodities 21 Aug 2019
Gold could rise to over US$1800/oz if geopolitical risks remain elevated
Gold prices have moved very quickly in the past two months, gaining 14% in that short space of time. Gold's gains have been consistent with the sudden drop in Treasury yields and rise in demand for safe haven assets. As we highlighted in The gold market reigns supreme, growing tensions between the US and China in the form of both a trade and a currency war have kept the market on edge, thus driving up the demand for safe haven assets.

June ETP Flows: Buy the rumour, sell the fact
ETP flows in June resonated the famous market adage – "Buy the rumour, sell the fact" in anticipation of a positive outcome at the G-20 summit which took place at the end of June. This was largely fuelled by hopes of potential progress in the US-China trade talks at the G-20 summit coupled with global monetary policy easing.

Tom Petty Said George Harrison 'Never Really Pursued a Solo Career'
When George Harrison left The Beatles, he had to do something. He'd been overlooked by his bandmates for years, even though he'd become an excellent songwriter. In fact, George had become such a great songwriter that tunes constantly flowed out of him until he had so many that he had to start stockpiling them.
So, when he left the biggest band in the world, he had to do something with all his songs. He told his friend Tom Petty that he only released his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass, as a reaction to leaving The Beatles. There was no other reason. He wanted to prove to the world that he was just as great as Lennon/McCartney.
However, George found himself in a pickle when critics and fans loved the triple album. If All Things Must Pass was a success, well, then he might as well continue to release music if everyone loved his songs so much. But starting a solo career wasn't his priority in 1970.
Tom Petty said George Harrison 'never really pursued a solo career'
George's good friend, Tom Petty, told Rolling Stone that George didn't ever pursue a solo career. It just sort of fell in his lap once his solo debut started dominating the charts.
"He told me something once like, 'I never really pursued a solo career. All Things Must Pass was a reaction to leaving the Beatles. I had to do something.' And when that went so well, he made another one," Petty explained. "But he never really had a manager or anybody to report to, and I don't think he had any interest in touring. He told me many times he was very uncomfortable being the guy up front having to sing all the songs. It was just not his idea of fun."
With everything George was going through while making All Things Must Pass, we understand why he didn't initially think about a solo career.
During an interview withEsquire, George's son, Dhani, said that he wanted fans to feel what George was experiencing in 1970 when they heard the album's reissue.
"I'm really trying to draw everyone into the feeling of what it must have been like for him to start off at 27, renovating a house that took him the rest of his life, and at the same time, his band had broken up, he had Hare Krishnas living here, he was separating from his wife, his mother passed away during the making the record—it was a lot of really spiritual moments for my dad with this record," Dhani explained.
"You know it's his make-or-break record, being his first solo album, and not a lot of people have the confidence, or are even allowed, to go for a triple-vinyl first album. It was a big swing, and he hit a home run," Dhani continued.
However, George likely wouldn't have pursued a solo career after The Beatles because he didn't want to be famous anymore.
George was sick of fame
If there's one thing George hated most, it was fame. He once told Rolling Stone, "The Beatles exist apart from myself. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion, and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me. I play a little guitar, write a few tunes, make a few movies, but none of that's really me. The real me is something else."
After leaving The Beatles, George's priority was fixing up Friar Park (mainly its gardens) and doing what he loved, which was jamming well into the night, with or without friends.
"The pressure, you know, of the people expecting you to do something," George told Entertainment Tonight. George hated being "put in a little box and looked at through microscopes." It made him feel paranoid, "afraid to go anywhere and to play guitars with other people."
"Try to be just an ordinary person and play a few tunes but they won't let you do that," George said. "They want you to come out there with flames coming out of your fingers, singing all these things that don't really exist. It's just all in their concept of what it was. Then is then, and now is now."
George was indifferent to making new music
The ex-Beatle might have had tons of songs stockpiled, but that doesn't mean he wanted a solo career. George constantly wrote songs whether he was going to release them or not. As Petty said, Geoge was never far from music.
However, he made tunes on his own terms. No one was going to make him do anything. If he didn't want to make music, he didn't. In fact, throughout 1977, George didn't even write a single song because he was so sick of the music industry.
"I'd just turned off from the music business altogether," George told Rolling Stone in 1979. "Just sick of the whole thing. Really, it comes down to ego. You have to have a big ego in order to keep plodding on being in the public eye. If you want to be popular and famous, you can do it; it's dead easy if you have that ego desire. But most of my ego desires as far as being famous and successful were fulfilled a long time ago."
"I still enjoy writing a tune and enjoy in a way making a record," George continued. "But I hate that whole thing of when you put it out, you become a part of the overall framework of the business. And I was a bit bored with that. If I write a tune and people think it's nice then that's fine by me; but I hate having to compete and promote the thing."
In 1992, George uncomfortably accepted the Billboard Century Award. Knowing George's thoughts on fame, it's surprising he even showed up. His wife Olivia once said that he often told her to get some other monkey to get his awards, that he didn't want them.
Still, George showed, and in his acceptance speech, he said he didn't know how to deal with all the flattery. He said if he had anyone to thank for his career ("if a career is what you'd call it because I haven't really dealt with it as some people deal with their careers"), it would be his friends. George only needed friends and music. Not a solo career.

When the global economy entered a recession in 2008, the majority of businesses around the world were forced to make cutbacks to stay afloat.
Human resources departments were, as expected, heavily impacted, as businesses large and small re-evaluated their employee spend. These companies imposed hiring freezes and downsized departments to reduce total workforce costs.
Human resources departments and companies without advanced talent analytics found it hard to quantify the return on investment in staff training and to justify large investments in employee development.
As a result, learning and development (L&D) initiatives were among the hardest hit, as struggling businesses tried to minimize their per-employee costs during the economic downturn.
For example, by 2009, the UK had already seen a 4% year-on-year drop in total L&D spend, and training hours per employee would drop by 50% between 2009 and 20121.
This had a dramatic effect on outsourced learning providers, and particularly on those delivering instructor-led training (ILT), which still accounted for 77% of all training hours in 2009.
Indeed, as a total of L&D spend, outsourced training services would drop from 41% in 2009 to just 27% in 2012.
With similar trends taking place worldwide, large numbers of traditional training companies were forced to close business. But for many companies worldwide, training needs were actually increasing during this time, particularly across business support functions.
As companies stripped down to their core staff, IT personnel, like their HR colleagues, were finding themselves increasingly tasked to do more with less.
IT professionals who had spent years specializing in one technical area were forced to take on a wider variety of responsibilities, necessitating rapid acquisition of new technical skills and product expertise with minimal outlay on training services.
Recognizing these challenges, training companies like Oracle University responded by expanding the types, product range coverage, and technical levels of its online and digital courses.
This provided flexibility for IT staff who could not afford to wait weeks or months for the next classroom-based training, or to take time out of work to travel to day-long training sessions, of which perhaps only a part of the course might be relevant.
For L&D teams forced to cut costs, digital training had the added business advantage of saving the heavy training and travel expenses associated with offsite classroom-based learning.
As the global economy started to recover in 2012, companies began increasing L&D spend once again. In the UK, spend increased by 3% in 2012, and by 11% from 2014 to 2015. Training hours per employee also rose by 12% between 2012 and 2015, and training spend per employee has increased to more than $1,500 last year. But where did the money actually go?
Not, as many had anticipated, to third party training companies. These saw a continued drop in percentage of overall L&D spend to just 14% in 2015—nearly half their share of the 2012 spend, and three times less than in 2009!
Instead, businesses turned their L&D investments inward, increasing their ratio of L&D staff to employees by 50% between 2012 and 2015, and investing in advanced talent management software.
With L&D staff back in-house, armed with increasingly feature-rich analytics tools, companies could focus on learning initiatives in a way they never could before. With detailed insight into their talent pool and its development, they became far better at monitoring the business effects of training, and subsequently at justifying and prioritizing L&D spend.
In addition, the increase in L&D staff meant that businesses could more effectively drive learning cultures within their respective organizations.
Today, Instructor-led Training is still the primary delivery method in countries with mature L&D markets, accounting for the highest number of total training hours—but digital training is rapidly gaining ground.
In the UK for example, ILT has dropped to just 32% of all training hours—a 45 percentage point decline since 2009—while digital training continues its climb, now with more than a 25% share.
L&D teams have increasingly recognized that ILT frequently fails to meet the learning objectives of all participants—due to differences in participants' experience, technical abilities, job functions, and, sometimes, language knowledge.
Tellingly, ILT is a highly developed market, having taken years to optimize its learning methodologies, styles, and formats, and yet it is still unable to cope with the above challenges of individualized learning.
By contrast, digital learning is a rapidly developing market which has undergone recent dramatic improvements in terms of content and delivery options.
For example, it is now far easier for online learners to find and jump to sections of a course relevant to a current business need, without needing to sit through the entire course.
This is particularly advantageous for technical staff, and enables learning to be individualized, as participants are free to go at their own pace, and in their language of choice.
Informal learning methods such as on-the-job training, collaboration and feedback have also become increasingly prevalent, as in-house L&D teams drive the impact of continual experiential learning and professional mentoring.
When comparing the time currently allocated to each delivery method, we see that L&D professionals are seeking a balance in training initiatives, with the ability to reach individual employees in diverse and complimentary ways—supported by advanced talent management analytics that enable businesses to align training with industry norms.
Oracle is, once again, uniquely positioned to respond to current business trends.
Alongside its industry-leading talent management software that empowers L&D analytics, Oracle University continues to expand the quality, depth, flexibility, and cost efficiency of its digital learning programs in anticipation of the continued global proliferation of the Internet and of businesses turning to cloud-based learning solutions.
As the economic recovery continues, businesses are continuing to turn to Oracle University as they realize the measurable benefits of bringing L&D back home.

CBSE Retest will be held for two subjects. The CBSE Board exam would be reconducted for Class 10 Mathematics paper and Class 12 Economics paper. The date of retest would be announced within a week by the CBSE Board. The purpose of re-conducting these two exams are none but the rumours of the paper leak which have been accepted by the Central Board. Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar admitted the leaks and assured students that the strict action would be taken against the perpetrators and there would be a better arrangement to fight against such things. He also set an investigation to look into the matter.
HRD Ministry has announced Retest Date for CBSE Class 12 Economics, the exam will be re-conducted on 25 April 2018. Final Decision about CBSE Class 10th Maths Retest will be taken within 15 Days.
Earlier there were lots of reports alleged that Class 10 Mathematics paper was circulating on Whatsapp and Facebook before the commencement of the examination. Now the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken a big step to re-conduct the examination.
As per the sources, the dates for the re-examination of the two papers will be notified within a week on the website of CBSE. However, the senior board official is saying that the exams for these papers will take place after the end of Class 10 and 12 exams.
As the retest is going to be conducted, maybe it would not do justice to some of the candidates but for the sake of all the students, it is right decision to reconduct the examination. This is not the first time when the incident of the paper leak has occurred. Earlier when the Accountancy exam was about to begin, some students reported the leak of papers on WhatsApp. However, there is no confirmation of it yet.
Approximately 1,700,000 students will appear for the retest of mathematics and close to 5 lakhs students will re-appear in class 12 Economics exam. The date for the retest would be soon notified on the official website of CBSE. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also showed their unhappiness against the news and called HRD minister for the better solution of the situation. HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that the cabinet has approved for the National Testing Agency (NTA) to come into effect from the next academic year and it will ensure the leak-proof examination.
CBSE Retest for Two Board Papers - Highlights of the news!
Class 10 Mathematics and Class 12 Economics will be re-conducted as CBSE admitted the leaks rumours.
More than 17 lakhs students in class 10 and 5 lakhs students in class 12 will re-appear in their respective examination.

Women`s Champions League - Four Teams remain spotless
Lo + Balonmano · -BALONMANO MUNDIAL- · Planet Handball

Viborg, Krim and Larvik won their second match in the women's Champions League and remain spotless after the games on Saturday in Round 2. On Sunday Oltchim Valcea could win it´s match versus Zvenigorod. Larvik surprisingly won easily against FCK with Linn-Kristin Riegelhuth in their squad. Podravka took their first points. But the big headline in international handball is, that Gunnar Prokop stepped in the match of Hypo against Metz on the court to stop a decisive fastbreak of left winger Ognjenović and save the 27-27 for his team.
Group A:
Viborg HK – HC Leipzig 33:23 (19:10)
Easy victory for the title holder! Thanks to nine goals of Rikke Skov, Viborg didn't have problems against the German champions. The match was decided already after 30 minutes as the distance was a comfortable nine-goal cushion already. Even as the former Leipzig top star, Grit Jurack, is pregnant and cannot play for the Danes, Viborg had an easy task in front of 1,800 spectators, which was a season record so far. For HC Leipzig it was the first defeat after nine consecutive victories in the Bundesliga and Champions League. HCL's top scorer was Renate Urne, but none of the German players reached the level of a week ago when they won against Podravka.
Podravka Vegeta – Byasen HE 32:31 (13:16)
The 22 saves of goalkeeper Jelcic and the 10 goals of Pasicnik were key factors in the first victory of Podravka this season. Nevertheless, the match was very tense until the final seconds. Byasen were missing goalkeeper Grimsbö who is currently ill, but the Croatians could not count on key players either. Camilla Herrem was Trondheim's top scorer with nine goals. Regarding Byasen's line player, Marit Malm Frafjord, Danish media alleged that she will be transferred to Viborg the next season. As Podravka – like Leipzig – have two points now, Byasen remain pointless after two matches.
Group B:
Krim Mercator – Aalborg DH 30:23 (17:10)
After the draw between Hypo and Metz, the Slovenian Krim took the lead in Group B. After a victory in Metz, the Slovenians could also celebrate a good start at home. The victory was never in danger as Aalborg didn't score for 12 minutes at the end the first half. Krim in this period could increase the lead to a decisive 17:10. Even as the Danish tried hard, they couldn't turn the match. With 23 saves from Croatian national goalkeeper Grubisic and eight goals of Hungarian national player Zácsik, the Slovenians dominated even if Aalborg were equal in the second half (13:13). Top scorer for the Danish side was Torstensson with nine goals, still their best player was goalkeeper Soby. Aalborg have to wait for their first points this season.
Hypo Niederösterreich vs Metz HB 27:27 (11:10)
With excellent defence play and many fastbreaks, Metz took one point from Vienna. Metz right winger Piejos was the hero of Metz who scored two consecutive goals and equalised with 30 seconds from the end (27:27). Hypo had the ball, but they could not even shot on goal from their last attack. Metz goalkeeper picked up the lost ball and launched left winger Svetlana Ognjenović on a fastbreak. With approximately five seconds to the end, Hypo coach Gunnar Prokop entered the court and stopped Ognjenović with a foul. He received direct red card for that. The game was restarted with four seconds to go and Franic could only hit the crossbar from the final shot.The best scorers of the match were Piedade and Nascimento with 9 goals. Ayglon scored 6 for Metz. Both goalkeepers, Sanko and Leynaud showed impressive performances.
Group C:
Győri Audi ETO – SD Itxako 29:28 (14:13)
The match in Győr was very tense until the last minute and the decision came virtually only with the final whistle. Györ had to work very hard for their first victory of the season. Itxako also tried their best to save a point – including some tough defending that resulted in two red cards for Pinedo and Fernandez. The game was completely equal all the way before the break. Győr were in the lead and the fans could also cheer for Aurelia Bradeanu who returned after the birth of her child. The first 12 minutes of the second half was the best period of Győr. Actually, the match seemed to be decided in favour of the Hungarians who were leading 21:16. However, it took only four minutes for Itxako to score four consecutive goals (21:20) and turn the page completely. As the Spaniards were tough in defence, Győr's Orsolya Vérten had to leave the court with a head injury. Not only she was shocked, her team could also not react well and the guests took the lead (27:25 with three minutes from the end). But Kovacsics, the most prolific Győr player with seven goals, took responsibility for her team and became match winner by two late goals. The runner-up of last season won by 29:28. Itxako's Alberto scored eight goals and showed an impressive performance.
Oltchim Valcea – Zvezda Zvenigorod 31:27 (18:16)
Valcea continued their good series with the second victory from two games and remain big favourites of the CL season. As the Romanians remain spotless, Zvezda lost their first points. Zvezda are currently second of the group with two points. Actually, this was the second good news for the Romanians this week after announcing a new sponsorship deal with telecom company Orange. Maier scored seven goals for Oltchim, Cristina Neagu and Julia Puscasu added five-five more. Zvezda's most remarkable performance came from the experienced back player, Elena Polenova, who hit the net seven times. However, the joy of Valcea was not complete on Sunday as Ardean-Elisei had to leave the court due to an ankle injury. Nevertheless, Romanians dominated the first half with the goals of Maier. As the distance decreased to 10:9, Oltchim coach Radu Voina took his time out. After the break, Oltchim goalkeeper Ungureanu showed some spectacular saves that helped to decide the match. Zvezda coach Evgeni Trefilov was impressed by Valcea: "The management of Valcea did a very good job by building this team. No one can stop Valcea when they play with big ambitions. Valcea are clearly favourites in the group." Voina was really satisfied: "This was a very hard game for us and our defence was key to the success today. My team played very well in defence. Of course, we missed several chances, but that's part of the game."
Group D:
Dinamo Volgograd – Buducnost T-Mobile Podgorica 31:18 (16:9)
Volgograd showed their strength again and this time the Russian champions took the two points. The team from Podgorica didn't have a chance at a one-sided match. The game was equal only at the very beginning. As Volgograd paced up, Buducnost couldn't come closer anymore after 10:7 in the 20th minute. In ten minutes until the break the hosts decided the match and it was already a seven-goal difference at the break. Dinamo were leading by ten goals for the first time at 24:14. The biggest difference was 14 goals and the game ended with a convincing 31:18. These were the first points of Volgograd in the Champions League since 2007. Buducnost remain without a point after Round 2; Dinamo advance to 2nd position after Larvik.
Larvik HK – FCK Handbold 31:26 (15:17)
After an enormous improvement in the performance of Larvik after the break, the Norwegians took the points against FCK. Even the guest coach, Anja Andersen, praised Larvik, especially top scorer Tonje Larssen and Danish goalkeeper Lene Rantala. FCK started better and were leading by 13:9 at their first-ever Champions League match in the new Arena Larvik. "We made too many mistakes in the first half," VHK coach Karl Erik Bohn said. "We managed to improve in this respect and took the points deservedly." Larssen not only scored important goals for the Norwegians, she was dominant during the whole game. Anja Andersen was disappointed with her team's defence which collapsed after Mette Melgaard received a red card. Then Larvik turned the match at 19:17 and FCK had their weakest phase. At a 27:22 Larvik lead it was all decided. FCK's top scorer was Milanovic with six goals. Larssen and Kristiansen each scored seven goals for the current Group D leader. FCK remain with two points.

Amid coronavirus pandemic, Atlantic Health System names clinical lab scientist Lisa McFarlane to lead testing and lab services
Jay EdwardsJuly 14, 2020
MORRISTOWN, NJ (Morris County) – As the importance of testing continues to grow in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, Atlantic Health System, a leading provider of health care in New Jersey, has named board-certified clinical laboratory scientist Lisa McFarlane, PhD, MLS, as its new director of laboratory services.
Dr. McFarlane takes the reins of Atlantic Health System's laboratory services, which serves the organization's seven hospitals, multiple ancillary sites, and physician network of nearly 1,000 providers, all linked by a team of laboratory couriers, as well as phlebotomists who provide outreach services. The laboratory services include the Atlantic Consolidated Laboratory which provides a robust array of services, processing more than 16,000 tests each day for a variety of conditions.
Dr. McFarlane is a member of the American Society of Clinical Pathology and comes to Atlantic Health System with 15 years of experience in both pathology and laboratory operations, most recently from Hackensack University Medical Center, where she served as the technical and operations director of the laboratory. Dr. McFarlane received her bachelor and master's degrees in biomedical science from London Metropolitan University and her doctorate in biomedical science from the UWE, Bristol in the United Kingdom.
"Atlantic Health System has demonstrated a true understanding of how laboratory science supports a health system's ability to provide exceptional care," Dr. McFarlane said. "I'm proud and humbled for the opportunity to lead these services at such a historic and crucial time."
From the earliest days of the emergence of COVID-19 in New Jersey, and throughout the rise of the worldwide pandemic, Atlantic Health System recognized the importance of testing as a way to identify, isolate and treat infected patients, while keeping other patients as well as Atlantic Health team members safe.
"Now more than ever, testing has become the lynchpin in the strategy to combating disease," said Amy Perry, CEO, hospital division, senior vice president, integrated care delivery. "We are extremely glad to have a leader with Dr. McFarlane's acumen in pathology and laboratory science overseeing our lab services as we work to move forward from the height of COVID-19."
As soon as state and federal officials approved testing to be conducted by health care providers, Atlantic Health System immediately implemented rapidly-evolving testing and processing technologies and practices.
"In a matter of a few months, we've gone from having limited tests to having a range of options for testing and processing," said Lauren Yedvab, chief operating officer for Overlook Medical Center, to whom Dr. McFarlane will report. "As each new iteration came available, our team vetted and implemented the resources that could most quickly and accurately tell us whether a patient had COVID-19, and we continue to look for ways to enhance our abilities."
By the first week of June, Atlantic Health System had ordered more than 32,000 tests, with a daily demand of between 500-1,000 tests per day, which were processed by both the Atlantic Consolidated Laboratory, as well as two reference laboratories contracted by Atlantic Health.
These efforts greatly aided Atlantic Health System's efforts to expand access to testing, including the opening of a drive-through testing structure at its corporate site in Morris Township for health care workers, first responders and their immediate family members, one of the first of its kind in New Jersey.

It is five years since former Chancellor George Osborne first launched his "vision of a Northern Powerhouse" to stop London "dominating more and more". Picture: PA
THE new Prime Minister was last night urged to "reboot the Northern Powerhouse agenda" on the five year anniversary of the launch of the flagship investment initiative for the region.
Sunday will mark five years since George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, first launched his "vision of a Northern Powerhouse" to stop London "dominating more and more" – something he said would not be healthy for the UK.
How George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse vision has strayed from reality
But to mark the anniversary, progress on the scheme has been described as a "missed opportunity", whilst others have said there is more to do, with some of the funding "not used well enough".
When Mr Osborne launched the Northern Powerhouse back in 2014, he said it would provide great jobs and businesses, fast and effective transport connections, and strong universities and hospitals, colleges and schools for aspirational families, as well as the entertainment, green spaces, housing, culture and sport that makes for a good lifestyle.
Marianne O'Sullivan, policy advisor at NEECC, said the region is waiting for a "significant increase in infrastructure spending".
"One of the clearest examples of the impact of the Northern Powerhouse concept has been the creation of Transport for the North.
"This has been a crucial step in creating one transport plan which key stakeholders across the North agree on. Without the creation of Transport for the North it is hard to imagine projects such as Northern Powerhouse Rail having the kind of broad support it now has with the Government under pressure to deliver on these key projects.
"However, there is still a way to go. We are still waiting for a significant increase in infrastructure spending across the whole of the North. The Government have tasked Transport for the North to create a unifying transport plan, the test is now whether Government will provide the investment and the devolved powers to demonstrate their commitment to strengthening the North's economy.
Paul Carbert, policy advisor at NEECC specialising in issues relating to education and training, said there are signs the potential of the North can be "unlocked" if it is given more control.
Jake Berry: Northern Powerhouse 'remains a priority'
He said: "Reports from the Northern Powerhouse Partnership and the Children's Commissioner have highlighted the gap in attainment between schools in the North and those in London and the South East. The recommendations from these reports and others to increase funding for Northern schools in order to address regional inequality has helped to make the issue a political priority.
Power Up The North: Region to 'lose almost £500m' under Government's post-Brexit funding plan
"In response to this, the Government have introduced£24m in funding to improve teacher training, school leadership, and support the transition from primary to secondary school, and to higher education.
"In the future, we would like to see more devolution of centralised education and training funding, and increased powers for Combined Authorities to implement local and regional strategies to boost education and training."
Jonathan Walker, assistant policy director, added: "For decades the North has been held back by a lack of investment in infrastructure and centralised decision making.
"Successive Governments have talked about redressing economic imbalances and supporting growth in the North, but progress has been frustratingly slow.
Power Up The North: Jeremy Corbyn says North is 'chronically underfunded'
"Regions such as the North have tremendous economic potential. Any prospective Prime Minister needs to not only recognise this potential, but also help us deliver on it.
"This means both improving our access to markets through major infrastructure investment and fundamentally changing the way Government thinks about economic development."
Lord Jim O'Neill, vice-chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership said: "The Cities Growth Commission that I chaired made the case for what could be achieved by devolution. Five years ago, many of those ideas led the then Chancellor George Osborne to launch the Northern Powerhouse, which brought together Labour city regional leaders with a government that I then joined."
Power Up The North: The Northern Echo joins with the region's publishers calling for investment in the North
"Five years on we have achieved much. In infrastructure, it is vital that the government commits to Northern Powerhouse Rail which would have a very positive consequence for the agglomeration concept that underlies the Northern Powerhouse idea and would be the clearest sign of true fresh government commitment.
"However, in areas like education there is more to do, and funding even that I myself fought for in government was then after I left the Treasury not used well enough."
Nick Forbes, chair of the Convention of the North, said: "Over the last five years the North has come together to fight for its future in a way not seen before. The successes achieved so far are largely down to action here, with the devolution agenda seemingly stalled in Whitehall.
"We have seen some progress, most notably with Transport for the North taking the first steps towards matching major decisions with northern priorities, but we have seen missed opportunity as well.
Conservative and Labour politicians back The Northern Echo's Power Up The North campaign
"The next Prime Minister needs to urgently reboot the Northern Powerhouse agenda. That means backing HS2 and the East-West rail improvements the north so clearly needs, revitalising the devolution process to hand power and responsibility back to local communities, and it means handing the north the financial security to let us lead the way on our own future, for the benefit of all the UK."

Bill Russell puts his own athletic bonafides up against LeBron James

As far as championships are concerned, Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell will never be topped. The 11-time champion is the greatest winner in NBA history, always the leader of his team, and also one of the most outspoken athletes during the Civil Rights. But just because most of us didn't see him play, doesn't mean he's going to give in easily to people passing over his legacy, even in praise of LeBron James. Russell, who is active on twitter, came back at LeBron-confidant Kendrick Perkins, who changed his tune.
Earlier this week, Kendrick Perkins shared a video from LeBron's first stint in Cleveland, calling him the most athletic player to ever play the game. And as far as I've seen, that's hard to dispute, but Russell threw out his own athletic feats, which included an Olympic-qualifying high-jump and excellence as a sprinter.
Most Athletic Player in NBA History!!! https://t.co/CJWRoz2cQz
— Kendrick Perkins (@KendrickPerkins) June 16, 2020
In addition to my leaping ability, I was also an somewhat known as an outstanding sprinter. And some people may remember this : https://t.co/Am6UN7xdOT
— TheBillRussell (@RealBillRussell) June 17, 2020
We also have to keep in mind that Russell's teams often had to get past Wilt Chamberlain, another NBA legend who was also an elite college high-jumper. Perkins, who is a known LeBron campaigner, even had to fall back to respect the legend on this one.
Well I've been checked by an All-Time Great so sorry @KingJames I've had a change of heart….@RealBillRussell is the Most Athletic Player in NBA History!!! My apologies @RealBillRussell 🤣👊🏾🙌🏾💪🏾 https://t.co/6JogEGmUgG
LeBron's respect for Russell has never been in doubt. James mentioned Russell as one of his inspirations for starting the non-profit "More Than a Vote," which is meant to improve Black voter turnout and combat voter suppression.

Q: Probability distribution of sign changes in Brownian motion Let us consider a 1d Brownian motion. Displacements in space will be positive or negative and this is a random variable $U(t)$ that characterizes a random process and that can take just the values $\pm 1$. The question I am looking for an answer is: What is the probability distribution for $U$?
Of course, the problem can be generalized to $\mathbb{R}^d$ and, in this case, one should look for a distribution of directions. It would be nice to get an answer also in this case.
Thanks.

A: Let $U_t = \operatorname{sign}(W_t)$, where $\operatorname{sign}(x) = +1$ for $x \geqslant 0$ and $\operatorname{sign}(x) = -1$ for $x<0$. Since the joint distribution of $W_t$ is known to be multinormal, we can compute joint probabilities for $U_t$ as well.
$$
   \mathbb{P}( U_t = 1) = \mathbb{P}(W_t \geqslant 0) = \frac{1}{2} \qquad
   \mathbb{P}( U_t = -1) = \mathbb{P}(W_t < 0) = \frac{1}{2}
$$
which means that $(1+U_t)/2$ follows symmetric Bernoulli distribution.
For the joint probabilities of $U_{t_1}$ and $U_{t_2}$ for $t_2 > t_1 > 0$ are multinormal orthant probabilities:
$$ \begin{eqnarray}
  \mathbb{P}(U_{t_1} \geqslant 0 \land U_{t_2} \geqslant0) &=& \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2 \pi} \arcsin(\sqrt{\frac{t_1}{t_2}}) \\
   \mathbb{P}(U_{t_1} \geqslant 0 \land U_{t_2} < 0) &=& \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2 \pi} \arcsin(\sqrt{\frac{t_1}{t_2}}) \\
    \mathbb{P}(U_{t_1} < 0 \land U_{t_2} \geqslant 0) &=& \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2 \pi} \arcsin(\sqrt{\frac{t_1}{t_2}}) \\
    \mathbb{P}(U_{t_1} < 0 \land U_{t_2} < 0) &=& \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2 \pi} \arcsin(\sqrt{\frac{t_1}{t_2}})
\end{eqnarray}
$$
These can be computed by representing $(W_{t_1}, W_{t_2}) \stackrel{d}{=}  ( \sqrt{t_1}  Z_1, \sqrt{t_1}  Z_1 + \sqrt{t_2-t_1} Z_2)$, where $Z_i$ are independent standard normals.

This lady knows what's up! She got herself a "boyfriend pillow" to keep her company!!
But maybe SHIRTLESS and RIPPED is more your style??
Not to worry! There's a PILLOW for everyone!!
P.S. You don't have to be single to get one of these awesome pillows!!
This is wonderful, Paul.. and I'm sure that these pillows can be called a name of someone the person who bought them adores.. now there's a cure for the single blues.. get one of these snuggle pillows and you'll be happy.. a beautiful tribute to those single on Valentine's Day.
Nice idea. Although I think only nightmares can dream on this pillow. More precisely – the halves of nightmares, because it is only half the "body". But if we look at these pillow as art objects, they can became the best part of collection of any museum of modern art. Thank you, Pee-wee!


e sixth annual CM Summit is just two weeks away, and that means I'm knee deep in prep: thinking about the major themes driving our industry, and in particular, those driving media and marketing.
This is why I'm so pleased that our opening conversation will be with Laura Desmond, the CEO of Starcom MediaVest Group, one of the largest buyers of media in the world. SMG recently made news by winning Microsoft's lucrative business in the US, and counts P&G, Walmart, Coca Cola, and GM amongst its all star roster of clients.
– The "consumerization of IT." As technology becomes integrated into all of our lives, large business to business marketers like Microsoft and Oracle are contending with changing demands of their customers in the workplace. Conversely, the large consumer packaged goods companies like P&G must become IT companies, as consumers demand they respond as nimbly as the Amazons, Googles, and Netflixs of the world.
– Brands as publishers. This is the theme I've been writing and preaching about since the founding of Federated Media in 2005, but it's taken center stage with major marketers this year, according to Desmond. Brands need to become curators, filters, and providers of consumer experiences, she argues, and they need to work in new ways with traditional publishers to get there.
– The shift of media budgets from television to digital. This is the elephant in the room everyone can see, but no one can shoot. While the big five digital platforms command nearly 80% of digital budgets, the truth is, television brand dollars still rule the roost. Why? Desmond has some answers, and expect to hear a call for the end of "market mix modeling," a practice which began in the 1950s and has barely changed since.
– The role of demand side platforms, real time bidding, third party data, and exchanges in today's evolving market, an issue which dominated the Interactive Advertising Bureau's annual meeting and conference earlier this year.
There's a world of issues to cover off in our opening conversation, and with more than 30 speakers from GM, Visa, Sony, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and more joining us on stage across one and a half days, our goal is to give CM Summit attendees a high-level look at the business of marketing, in a rapid-fire conference that will keep folks on the edge of their seats.
Register today before we sell out. And if you have a question you'd like me to ask Laura, leave a comment here or join the conversation on the #CMSummit hashtag. See you in New York!

And a shout out to our partners at IAB, Mashable, paidContent.org, ReadWriteWeb, SMAC, and TechZulu.
The themes brought up are all relevant and very interesting – we all could talk for hours on each topic. Good luck with the prepping!
After the style nightfall boots of motion has been pinpointed, the actual 3D character animation work may begin. Now, care must be taken to not metallic boots only keep to the style, but to keep in mind the limits of the medium as well. When drawing out an animation frame by frame, the pictures Paisley Boots have a tendency to vary at least slightly, but this at least adds motion to even the stillest of shots. When a 3D animation project is first set up, Fox Fur the basic scene consists of static objects and environments, and thus has nothing but the motions put into it. If an animator forgets to add motion UGG Fashion Boots to the eyebrows when portraying a very expressive character, something is going to be noticeably off to the viewer. Even the New Style Boots most experienced artists go through their work after completion, to make sure that nothing was missed.
This looks like a great way for marketing professionals to learn more about media planning and advertising. The emphasis on the transition from print to digital media seems particularly interesting, and is a subject to which we have devoted a great deal of thought.

Student Research Awards
Beyond Politics: Opposition to Marriage Equality Predicts Negative Reactions Toward LGBT Individuals
awards/4/fulltext (1).pdf
Hutchings, Ryan
Marriage Equality Attitudes
Behavioral Intentions
Past research has examined various factors that predict heterosexual individuals' attitudes toward marriage equality, including gender, age, religion/religiosity, political ideology, and sexual prejudice (Herek, 2011). To our knowledge, no studies have examined the possibility that such attitudes predict consequential behaviors directed at LGBT individuals. Thus, the current work examined the role of opposition to marriage equality in predicting negative behavioral intentions and reactions to antigay hate crimes. Given the importance of gender in sexual prejudice and opposition to marriage equality (Herek, 2000a), these relationships were examined after including gender in the model. Fifty-nine heterosexual students participated in this study. Separate hierarchical regressions revealed that opposition to marriage equality significantly predicted greater negative behavioral intentions (? = .46, p < .001), reduced recognition of a hate crime (? = -.30, p < .05), and marginally increased perpetrator justification (? = -.23, p = .09) above and beyond the influence of gender. Moreover, a two-way interaction indicated that opposition to marriage equality predicted negative behavioral intentions to a greater degree for men than women (? = -.55, p < .05). These results suggested that marriage equality attitudes are not merely political, but rather, predict influential behavioral intentions and reactions toward LGBT individuals.
The Douglas A. Feldman LGBT Paper Award was created to award undergraduate students who write an academic research paper, either original research or a review of literature, focusing on the social and cultural experiences of LBGT individuals.
