The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) opened on Saturday two major bridges as part of the improvement of Shaikh Rashid-Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Streets intersection.
The first bridge on Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street comprises two lanes in each direction, and the second is one-lane bridge stretching from Zabeel Street to the direction of Shaikh Rashid Street.
Easing traffic to Karama, Trade Centre
The opening of the two bridges will ease the traffic movement heading to Al Karama, and the World Trade Center junction in the direction of Sheikh Zayed Road.
The tunnel is expected to be opened in both directions (Al Garhoud and Mina Rashid) in Q2 of 2018.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, said, "The intersection of Shaikh Rashid and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Streets is a key part of a big project for improving Al Shandagha roads network."
"The project is located at the intersection of Shaikh Rashid Street in the direction of the northern end of Al Shandagha Network, and Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street in the direction of the intersection with Al Kuwait Street," Al Tayer said.
"The Project is part of RTA's master plan for the improvement of roads, bridges, crossings and underpasses to accommodate the growing traffic volumes, and ease the traffic movement in all parts of Dubai," he said.
"It is also part of the overall efforts to implement RTA's strategic plan for upgrading roads and transport infrastructure in Dubai. The objective is to develop integrated solutions of roads and marine network that are safe for users, capable of matching the development plans and demographic growth, and encouraging the development and investment in Dubai," he added.
The official explained that the project includes the construction of a bridge on Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street, a tunnel on Shaikh Rashid Street, and a bridge on Zabeel Street in the direction of Shaikh Rashid Street.
"The objective of such works is to ensure a free traffic movement from the Trade Center R/A to the intersection of Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and Al Kuwait Street through a two-lane bridge in each direction," he said.
"The project also entails the construction of a tunnel of four lanes in each direction on the Sheikh Rashid Street in the direction of the intersection with Al Mankhool Street, and a signalised junction under the bridge to provide free turns from main roads to subsidiary roads," Al Tayer added.
"The bridge has a one-directional ramp stretching from Umm Harir Street to Shaikh Rashid Street. It also includes lighting, pavement, irrigation, sewage, storm-water drainage works as well as the shifting of utility lines such as electricity, water and telecommunication," he said.
The construction of Shaikh Rashid-Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Streets Intersection Project is concurrent with the opening of the improvement of Wafi Intersection Project in April 2016.
Wafi Intersection is considered one of the vital junctions in Dubai intersecting with Shaikh Rashid Street and Oud Metha Street.
It encompassed the construction of a three-lane bridge from Oud Metha Street (near Latifa Hospital) in the direction of Sheikh Rashid Street, and from there to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Sa'ada Street (Upper Deck leading to the Dubai World Trade Center).
The bridge extends 700 meters and can accommodate 3,300 vehicles per hour.

Research Article: Defining rights-based indicators for HIV epidemic transition
Author(s): Joseph J. Amon, Patrick Eba, Laurel Sprague, Olive Edwards, Chris Beyrer
Abstract: In a Policy Forum, Joseph Amon and colleagues discuss human rights indicators for tracking progress toward ending the HIV epidemic.
Partial Text: From early in the global HIV epidemic, we have understood that national indicators of HIV incidence and prevalence represent a sum of the diverse subepidemics affecting different populations according to geography, socioeconomic status, gender, criminalized status, acquisition risks, and vulnerability to rights abuses. Even in countries that report decreases in HIV incidence, incidence may be increasing among groups that are particularly vulnerable and face political and social exclusion, especially sex workers, people who inject drugs (PWID), transgender persons, gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM), and prisoners (known collectively as key populations) [4].
In the past 100 years, three disease eradication programs have failed (malaria, yellow fever, and yaws), two are ongoing (guinea worm and polio), and one has been successful (smallpox) [20]. A common cause for failure was inadequate attention to social and political context. Whereas epidemic transition may present a lower bar then eradication or disease elimination, the need to address sociopolitical context remains, and the definitions of indicators in the elimination of vertical HIV transmission and of certain neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) provide useful examples of more-comprehensive approaches.
A hallmark of the HIV response, and a major factor in its success to date, has been the meaningful involvement of affected communities generally, and people living with HIV specifically (often referred to as the greater involvement of people living with HIV or AIDS [GIPA]) [30]. This participation—at all levels, from the local design and implementation of programs to the global governance of such institutions as UNAIDS and The Global Fund—has contributed to effective responses and attention to gaps and challenges that would otherwise be overlooked.
The world is ready to celebrate an "end of AIDS." It is important to recall, however, that past efforts to define epidemic control may have done more harm than good, undermining realistic planning and policy making. To combat this, a broader, rights-based indicator framework should be at the center of what epidemic transition means. This rights-based indicator framework should both track the factors driving the HIV epidemic and measure our progress from a highly stigmatized epidemic that generates discrimination and human rights abuses to a rational, evidence-informed, and rights-based response that respects the dignity and rights of those living with and vulnerable to HIV.

Hello again world, it has been far too long since I've written here and it's time that I change that. Since I've taken up travel pretty extensively, I'm going to focus a lot on travel here since that's where most of my photography has come from in the past few years.
Here is the plan for the future, I will start focus on my travels and writing more about that time I spend travelling, prepping for travel, how I go about things and anything in between. Trip reports should become a thing as well, reviewing hotels, loyalty programs, flights and more. As always, give me feedback if you want to see something here I haven't done, or want something changed.
Let's catch up on the last year, since I've been lazy on keeping everyone up to date on where I have been going.
Since my last post I've been travelling quite a bit for a number of reasons. Starting with Boston, which was a quick trip on an Amtrak train. Starting from Trenton, NJ I boarded an Amtrak NE Regional train to Boston. After arriving, I quickly jumped on transit in Boston and made my way to Cambridge. In my other life, my work life, I work with fusion reactors, essentially recreating the sun on Earth. In Cambridge is a reactor we needed to look at for some information on the design of the bigger badder reactor we are building in France. This was a quick trip for only a couple of days to see the facility before turning around and catching the train back to Trenton.
Next up was my trip to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. I flew to Las Vegas and immediately left for the Grand Canyon. Grand is an understatement for that wonder. It's so big, so hard to process, it almost is like a oil painting in 3D. It's just hard to describe what that place is really like. We then hoofed it back to Vegas, stopping at the Hoover Damn (impressive), and then spending my last night in Vegas. What a cool city, loved it, will go back soon and would highly recommend seeing Penn and Teller.
After that was the big trip to Sydney Australia. This was so much fun. The plane flight was by far the worst I've had to date... though that is to be expected on what was at the time the longest flights in the world. Sydney is amazing, I don't have enough good words for what Sydney was for me, amazing. Go, if ever get the chance, go! After a few days in Sydney, I went to Auckland, New Zealand... Now this was a bit of a different story. The city was alright, cool views, nice weather, just wasn't my favorite city. I will eventually go back to New Zealand and explore the country, but the city I found to be a bit lackluster. Following that was the worst travel "day" in history. 3 hours to Sydney, 8 hour layover, 16 hours to Dallas, 2 hour layover, 1 hour delay, 4 hours to Philadelphia... sleep for 4 hours (Yes, I cannot sleep on planes), board a flight for France, fly to Paris, train to Aix En Provence... sleep for roughly ever.
So as you just got a hint, France was next up. This was another business trip to go review the reactor being built there. Not going to go into huge detail there, but Aix En Provence was beautiful, but because of work, only really saw it in the dark. Will be back this year sometime. On my way home I did take a day in Paris. What a fun city! It was a bit whirlwind because who can really do Paris in a single day, but I did get to walk the Seine river, see the Louvre (partially), and stand under the Eiffel tower... not half bad for one day.
Since then I've had a few quick trips to Chicago, Greenville South Carolina, and Washington DC. Trying to at least keep this from becoming a novel now.
Starting this week, I'll give you a detailed run down of my upcoming trips. My long term plans, and how I plan to fly around the world... literally. Keep an eye on this blog, there is so much more to come.

This topic contains 7 replies, has 0 voices, and was last updated by Anonymous 13 years, 6 months ago.
Do me a favor and tell me how to back up winfax completely because I want to move old winfax stuff to a new computer.
Including,my phonebooks,data,cover,…all stuff for winfax..
depending on the version of WinFax, you can perform backups within the program itself using Backup/Restore option in Program Setup. It is always wise to back up the entire "DATA" directory which is usually where all the faxes, phonebooks and logs are stored.
But I think still I have a problem.I use backup/restore in program setup in windows 2000 professional.
And I transfer the backup to Windows XP professional,but computer says sths like,because of the setting change,only the minimum change will be made.
I found nothing but a few attachment files in Windows xp .
I even want to back up separately,that is,by phone book,data,cover,log,sent mail….
Could you tell me some more details on how to back up the complete stuff on my winfax on windows 2000 ?
Is the Windows 2000 computer and the Windows XP computer both connected to a network so you can share files?
If so, just install WinFax PRO 10.02 on the WIndows XP computer, then copy the entire "DATA" directory from the Windows 2000 machine to the new machine overwriting the existing (newly installed) DATA directory on the Windows XP machine.
then start up WinFax PRO 10.02 on the Windows XP computer and verify all the information has been moved over.
Some phonebooks and logs may have to be manually added by choosing "File, New…" and selecting "Use existing WinFax PRO " file.
had a hard drive failure, installed new hard drive, done a restore from my back up CD of Winfax data, all tel logs are there & OK, all logs are there but no files in them.
check the properties of a log entry and see what filenames are being used, then check to see if those files are in your data directory.

Cambridge Critical Care Education Group is an education and training resource for Cambridge ICU professionals and trainees, provided by the Neurocritical Care Unit (NCCU) at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
Cambridge Critical Care contacted us to help them amalgamate three separate Cambridge ICU websites: NCCU, Papworth Cardiothoracic ICU, and the John V Farman ICU at Addenbrooke's. They wanted to give the website a complete style overhaul while retaining full CMS functionality within a WordPress framework.
We developed a site with fresh new branding that blended 'Cambridge' with 'Healthcare'. Each unit was colour coded for ease of navigation, banded content clearly defines the content. Additional functionality facilitated a WYSIWYG blog and PDf downloads.
The new site provides a more visual portal, enabling clearer and more intuitive access for knowledge transfer. It offers invaluable information to existing and aspiring ICU professionals, with a focus on attracting candidates for both education and recruitment.

Home / Graduates / Residency Requirements
In order to be considered for in-state residency status for tuition purposes, any student admitted to and enrolled in a graduate degree program administered by The Graduate School with nonresident status, is required to request a residency reconsideration via the Residency Determination Service.
Once granted in-state status for tuition purposes, this status will remain in effect unless the student fails to enroll for longer than a 12-month period. Should the student's residency status change to nonresident, they will need to request reconsideration in order to be considered for in-state tuition benefits.
The instructions for the online residency application described here are only for those graduate programs administered by The Graduate School, which includes Mathematics.
Requirements and Background
The North Carolina State Constitution, Section 9 states, "The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense."
This is the constitutional basis for conducting residency classifications for tuition purposes. The State of North Carolina created and maintains its public institutions primarily for the benefit of the residents of North Carolina. Under the North Carolina State Constitution, the State" policy is to provide the educational benefits of its institutions of higher education at as low a cost as is practicable to those students who qualify as "people of the State." In order to accomplish this, nonresidents are charged a higher tuition rate than State residents.
The North Carolina General Assembly enacted a detailed law for determining who qualifies for lower in-state tuition. North Carolina General Statute Section 116-143.1 provides specific guidelines and standards that should be used to determine whether someone qualifies as a resident for tuition purposes, so as to receive the lower in-state tuition rate.
Subsections of this statute also provide the applicable standards for special rules and exceptions. The review of all North Carolina residency applications for tuition purposes is guided by the laws outlined in the above-mentioned General Statute.
To assist in the preparation of your application for in-state status for tuition purposes, we have summarized several key points and definitions below.
Under North Carolina General Statute § 116-143.1, to qualify for in-state tuition an applicant, legal resident, must demonstrate a preponderance of evidence that:
he/she established and maintained a domicile in North Carolina at least twelve months before the first day of classes, and
with the intent to make North Carolina a permanent home indefinitely, and
he/she was not in North Carolina solely to attend college.
Resident for Tuition Purposes:
A person who has: (1) established domicile in North Carolina, and (2) maintained that domicile for a period of at least 12 months prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes.
A person" true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation of indefinite duration. The terms "domicile" and "legal residence" are used interchangeably.
Residence versus Domicile:
"Residence is a place of abode, and may be either permanent or temporary. By contrast, domicile is never temporary; rather, it is one's permanent, established home. To be domiciled in a particular place, one must intend to remain there for an indefinite period of time, and it is the place where one intends to return if absent. A person may have many residences, but may only have one domicile." A domicile is not a temporary residence established for the purpose of attending the University.
Indefinite:
A duration of time having no exact limits or no predetermined end date.
The legal ability to establish residence unimpeded by other factors, such as age or improper immigration status. Capacity includes the ability to remain in North Carolina indefinitely through one" own financial resources.
Dependent versus Independent:
If an applicant" parent(s) or legal guardian(s) are domiciled in North Carolina, the applicant may seek to show that he or she is dependent on his or her parents and, therefore, that he or she should be presumed to have their domicile. Proof of parental/guardian domicile in North Carolina is required. Dependent refers to a person defined as a "qualifying child" or "qualifying relative" for income tax purposes. Independent refers to a person who is legally entitled to claim himself or herself on income tax returns, is not claimed as a dependent by others, and possesses sufficient funds to live and pay tuition and fees without parent-financed, parent-guaranteed, or co-signed loans.
Bona Fide:
In good faith with earnest intent. A bona fide domicile is one in which the person" relevant conduct and motivation evidence a genuine desire to establish legal residence in North Carolina.
Burden of Proof:
The applicant bears the burden of proof and must establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he or she is a bona fide domiciliary for tuition purposes. The following actions are taken into account as intent to establish a permanent domicile in North Carolina. This list represents examples of acts that can be taken and does not represent a comprehensive set of actions nor does it serve as a checklist for a residency decision. No one action by itself guarantees or denies NC residency status for tuition purposes.
Financial independency/Employment
Voter registration and activity
Sources of financial support
Car registration
State identification card
Property ownership
State income tax returns
Time in and out of state
Ties to community
Non-US Citizens:
Non-U.S. citizens must have certain visas and/or approved forms in order to have the capacity to establish and maintain a domicile in North Carolina. If these requirements are met, then non-U.S. citizens are subject to the domicile analysis like any other applicant. NC State Residence Classification Manual
Who Should Apply:
Any student admitted to and enrolled in a graduate degree program administered through The Graduate School with nonresident residency status who wishes to be considered for in-state residency status for tuition purposes.
All students in programs administered by other schools or departments should contact their academic program for additional information. This includes all undergraduate and continuing studies students and students earning degrees not administered by The Graduate School. Please contact your specific program directly with any questions.
It is very important to:
Complete the Residency Determination Service interview with accurate information.
If additional documentation is required, respond to requests for additional information within the time frame indicated by the Residency Determination Service.
Online Residency Application:
Students who wish to be considered for in-state tuition benefits will need to complete the Residency Determination Service, RDS, interview process, for initial requests, reconsideration requests, and appeals. Please visit your ConnectCarolina StudentCenter and click the NC Residency Reconsideration or Appeal link under the Personal Information tab. Once you complete the RDS process you must enter your Residency Certification Number, RCN, in your Student Center.
To access RDS directly, please visit ncresidency.org. Beginning September 5, 2018, all requests for in-state residency determinations must be submitted online via the RDS process.
Anyone found to purposely present false/misleading information will be subject to the conditions of the University Honor Code.
Residency Application Dates
For a residency determination to be applied to the current term, a student must complete a request for a reconsideration on or before 30 days after the first day of the term. Students must notify campus of any changes in residency status via their ConnectCarolina StudentCenter in order for changes to be reflected.
Upcoming residency application dates are listed below. Please see the Office of the University Registrar for more information.

Spring 2022 – RDS reconsideration request on or before February 23 2022 for determination to apply to Spring 2022 term
Special Provisions
The Office of the University Registrar will evaluate and track students' eligibility for specific exceptions to the residency guidelines. Many of the exceptions require a supplemental application, which can be found on the Office of the University Registrar" website. For questions regarding these exceptions, students and staff may email residency@unc.edu, or call 919-962-3954.
Statutory Grace Periods
Statutory Grace Periods: As documented in the NC Residency Manual
If a student has been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes at an institution of higher education in North Carolina, a change in their state of residence does not result in an immediate or automatic loss of entitlement to the in-state tuition rate. Students in this situation are allowed a "grace period" during which the in-state rate will still be applicable even though the student is no longer a legal resident of North Carolina. The grace period can apply under certain circumstances both to currently enrolled students as well as to students who are no longer enrolled or who have graduated.
Grace Period for Currently Enrolled Students: To qualify for the grace period if the student is currently enrolled, the student must satisfy the following conditions:
First, the student must have been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes on the basis of a valid finding that the student in fact was domiciled in (a legal resident of) North Carolina and had been for the required 12-month period prior to classification.
Second, at the time of change of legal residence to a state other than North Carolina, the individual must have been enrolled in an institution of higher education in North Carolina.
"Enrolled" shall include both persons who are actually attending the institution during an academic term as well as those whose consecutive attendance of academic terms has been interrupted only by institutional vacation or summer recess periods. A person whose change in legal residence occurred during a period while not enrolled is not entitled to this benefit.
The grace period extends for 12 months from the date of the change in legal residence, plus any portion of a semester or academic term remaining at the time the change in legal residence occurred. No change in applicable tuition rates resulting from the expiration of the basic 12-month grace period will be effective during a semester, quarter, or other academic term in which the student is enrolled; the change in tuition rates are effective at the beginning of the following semester, quarter, or other academic term. Once perfected, the grace period is applicable for the entire period at any institution of higher education in the State.
Grace Period for Non-Enrolled Students: To qualify for the grace period if the student is no longer enrolled, the student must satisfy the following conditions:
First, the student must have been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes at the time the student ceased to be enrolled at or graduated from an institution of higher education in this state.
Second, if the student subsequently abandons his or her domicile in North Carolina and then reestablishes domicile in this state within 12 months of abandonment, the student may re-enroll at an institution of higher education in this state as a resident for tuition purposes without having to satisfy the 12-month durational requirement so long as the student continuously maintains his or her reestablished domicile in North Carolina at least through beginning of the academic term for which in-state tuition status is sought.
It is important to note that a student may benefit from this particular grace period only once. There is no such limitation on the grace period available to students who experience a change in residence status while still enrolled at an institution of high education in this state.
Decision Notification
Upon completing the initial RDS interview process, RDS communicates your residency status immediately. This determination is contingent upon you submitting any required documentation and passing validation of the information you provide.
If you are required to provide additional documentation and do not submit this documentation before the 25-day deadline, your residency status changes from resident to non-resident.
RDS validates information you provide with federal and state agencies. Should the information you provide not validate, your residency status changes from resident to non-resident.
In addition to your residency determination status, RDS provides you a Residency Certification Number (RCN) and a summary of the information you enter. You must enter your RCN number in your ConnectCarolina StudentCenter (if you have an onyen) in order for your residency status to be updated.
For reconsideration and appeal requests, RDS staff must review the request in full before providing a residency status. RDS can review your request only after you provide all your required documents. If your required documents are not submitted before the 25-day deadline, your request is canceled and your residency status remains non-resident.
You may request an Appeal if you believe that the RDS process has failed to accurately consider important information regarding your residency claim. There are two types of appeal:
RDS Appeal – the RDS Appeal is for students who believe their active residency determination is incorrect – either from an initial consideration or a reconsideration. Students have the ability to request the RDS Appeal online, submit additional information and documentation to support their claim, and meet face-to-face (or via technology) to review their appeal.
SEAA Appeal – the SEAA Appeal is the final administrative step in the residency process.

Clarkson Bioethics Program Hosts "Pioneering Bioethics: Promoting Research Ethics Around the Globe" Webinar as Part of 20th Anniversary Celebration
As part of its celebration of 20 years of bioethics education, The Bioethics Program of Clarkson University's Lewis School of Health Sciences and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will continue its lecture series titled "Pioneering Bioethics: An Anniversary Celebration" on Jan. 14.
The Bioethics Program's fifth lecture in the series is titled "Promoting Research Ethics Around the Globe - Celebrating the NIH Grant Programs in Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Caribbean, Latin America."
A founding aim of The Bioethics Program was to eliminate the barrier of geography to a quality bioethics education. Students from around the world have enrolled in The Bioethics Program. Through a series of grants from the National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Center, the Program has been able to eliminate both the geographical and financial barriers to students in low- and middle-income countries.
In 2004, Prof. Martin Strosberg was awarded the first grant, "E-Education in Research Ethics: Central and Eastern Europe" forming a partnership with Vilnius University, Lithuania. These efforts continue with three current grants. Prof. Rosamond Rhodes leads two grants to develop Research Ethics Master's degree programs at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and Iuliu Haţieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. And, Prof. Paul Cummins is the principal investigator at Clarkson, also, to develop Master's degree programs at Autonomous University of Querétaro, Mexico and Saint George's University, Grenada. A panel of principal investigators, partners, and trainees from these grants will discuss their experience
In this session, we highlight and celebrate the achievements of the trainees, fellows, and graduates from over 34 countries as research ethicists, scholars/researchers, educators, and change agents at the institutional and national levels.
The Bioethics Program's virtual lecture series marking its twentieth anniversary celebrates the program's history and future. The monthly, free public panel discussions will run through February.

It was all about the ladies at the 3rd Annual ELLE Women in Music Event on Wednesday night, but one particular lady stole the show. Melody Thornton turned heads in a see-through number that exposed her breasts while walking the red carpet at Avalon in Hollywood. The former Pussycat Doll, who released her mixtape P.O.Y.B.L last month, designs most of her own fashions.
Her fellow PCD alum Nicole Scherzinger was also in attendance, along with Karmin's Amy Heidemann, Pharrell and Jermaine Dupri's artist Leah LaBelle, and Jessie J, who hit the stage along with Oh Land and Ellie Goulding.
Who had the hottest look of the night? Sound off below.


It was one of the club's darkest nights but Sydney FC coach Frank Farina is confident there are no demons for his side ahead of the rematch with Central Coast.
It was one of the darkest nights in the club's history but Sydney FC coach Frank Farina is confident there are no mental demons for his side ahead of Thursday night's rematch with the Central Coast.
The Sky Blues were on the end of an embarrassing 7-2 demolition at the hands of the Mariners in round five as Graham Arnold's men ran riot at Bluetongue Stadium.
The mauling started a miserable couple of months for Sydney in which coach Ian Crook resigned as they remain stranded on the bottom of the A-League ladder with just one win in the past seven games.
It would be understandable for the Sky Blues squad to approach this match with some trepidation but Farina is adamant the horror result has been forgotten.
"Those things can happen in games but I don't think there are any mental scars," Farina said.
"That's something that happened but it's in the past now. It will happen to teams this year and next year as well.
"We saw it happen to Adelaide last week as well against Western Sydney and they (Reds) were second on the table.
"Everyone's attitude has to be the right one, which is to get down, work hard and battle.
"We need to find out the ones who are going to be ready for it. At moment the ones who we're putting on the park are the ones who are ready physically but hopefully mentally as well."
Marquee man Alessandro Del Piero missed the drubbing earlier this season but said the players have to use the hurt and humiliation from that game to inspire them this time around.
"Sometimes it happens where everything is wrong for you and everything is good for opposition," the Italian superstar said.
"It can happen but we have to use that. Now we have the chance to write a new story.
"Now is a tough moment for us and we go into the next three games against the top three teams in the league.
"We need to improve a lot...but if we are looking for a good position at the end of the season we have to do a great job in these three matches."
While the Sky Blues have battled injuries for most of the season, the Mariners have had a fairly settled line-up and are only missing right-back Pedj Bojic for this one through suspension.
Defender Pascal Bosschaart (calf) is again unavailable for Sydney while midfielder Jason Culina is only a 50-50 chance to feature which only makes the home side's task that much harder.
Asked how his struggling side could stop the Mariners, Farina joked: "Maybe chop a couple of their legs off.
"Look, they're travelling well, are extremely organised and very fit. It's going to be tough for us.
"Even though we're at home they are top of the league and deservedly so.
"We've got to try and make sure we stick to what we want to do and anything can happen."


Whether reclining in a chair in his living room here or positioning himself on a soccer field in some other part of the world, Tony Meola, the goalkeeper for the United States national team, is relaxed. His composure does not waver when he dives for a save in a World Cup qualifying match or reaches for a cookie in his kitchen before watching a National Football League game.
Meola was more subdued than usual last Sunday, which he said was because of the six indoor soccer games he had played the previous night. He spoke more animatedly about a trivial indoor game his team had lost than about the four memorable shutouts he had earned in leading the United States to the final round of the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. When pressed about his accomplishments for the national team, Meola said that his knees did not buckle and the butterflies never found his stomach.
Meola - who became a goalie when he was 6 years old because he was too fat to play any other position, who still thinks he may be a better baseball player than a soccer player and who did not become a regular on the national team until two other goalies were injured -was that someone.
Just 18 months removed from Kearny High School, Meola has startling confidence to go with his considerable talent. Meola carried the United States to a 2-1 victory over Benfica, a top Portuguese club team, in the Marlboro Cup in June after David Vanole and Jeff Duback were hurt. He never relinquished the starting position. His fourth shutout, a 1-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago on Nov. 20, came before 30,000 fans in Port of Trinidad, advancing the United States to the finals.
Meola capped off his year two weeks later by carrying Virginia to a share of the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship with Santa Clara and winning the Hermann Trophy, emblematic of the finest player in the country. In two seasons at Virginia, Meola had 17 shutouts and shared in 7 others in 33 games and posted a 0.34 goals-against average.
With so much transpiring, one would think that the wondrous year might be hard for him to categorize. As he does with most things, Meola handled it smoothly. ''That,'' he said, ''is the way I wanted things to go.'' After the college season, Meola gave up his college eligibility in soccer to turn professional. He also decided to forgo a promising baseball career to concentrate on soccer.
After receiving $10 per day to play for the national team while he was still in college, Meola is entertaining offers that carry a few more zeros. He will sign a full-time contract with the national team in a few days and should receive about $50,000. He has already had several inquiries from professional teams in Europe. Career in Italy? After the World Cup next summer, he hopes to play with a first division team in Italy, where his grandmother still lives, for a contract that could exceed $100,000 a year. Endorsements are another possibility as Meola has received feelers from American Express and Gillette and offers to endorse soccer equipment.
''He's getting a lot of attention and offers on this and that,'' said Bob Gansler, the coach of the national team. ''How is he going to handle that? I'm not a worrier, but I do get concerned. The young man has played four superb games. There are bigger challenges ahead of him. Let's not put him on Mount Olympus yet.'' It would be understandable for Meola to feel invincible, considering the way things fell into place for him last year. He originally expected to be a spectator, not a player, at the World Cup. He planned to accompany his parents on a trip to their native Italy next summer to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Meola was playing baseball for Virginia when his parents decided on the trip and he was not sure if he would be playing for the national team. But Gansler invited Meola to work out and the invitation became permanent. Meola saved his parents money on his plane tickets and gave them further reason to celebrate.
At 6 feet 1 inch and 200 pounds, Meola is a sturdy player who uses his height as an advantage around the goal. In addition, he is quick and has a powerful leg for punting. But the qualities that make Meola special are intangible.
''The most impressive thing about him is his calmness, composure and coolness under fire,'' Gansler said. ''He is wise beyond his years.'' Waiting for a Bad Game Gansler chooses his words carefully when praising Meola. For a long time he hesitated to start Meola over goalies with more international experience, and he has yet to christen him officially as the Americans' No. 1 goalie.
Arena, the Virginia coach, has no doubts. He said that he had been badgering Gansler and his coaching staff to play Meola sooner.
''I told him, 'If you give him a shot, he'll be your best,' '' Arena said.
Even though three other goalies will begin two weeks of practice with the national team Friday in La Jolla, Calif., Meola, not surpisingly, is relaxed.
Despite what is going on around him, Meola does not seem to be in danger of losing sight of making saves and winning games. He wants to play in the 1994 World Cup when the finals are played in this country and he hopes that there will be a professional league established in the United States by then. Although it is unlikely that his soccer career will falter, Meola, filled with confidence and athletic ability, has an alternative in mind if it does fail.

The Next French Revolution Is a Battle for the Soul of the Western World
By Roger Sollenberger | December 11, 2018 | 10:00am
Photo by Veronique de Viguerie/Getty Politics Features France
Over the last month, France's "yellow vest" protests have commanded global attention, and with good reason: They herald a people's revolt that threatens the French government. However, it seems more clear by the week now that throughout the West, the far right and the far left seem destined to clash. Given a disturbing confluence of recent events, those protesters in their fluorescent yellow vests might be canaries, and their movement the first, acute fissure of a bigger, more chaotic political and social crisis. This conflict has been rising across the globe for years and is now coming to a head in several coinciding events, but we haven't been able to recognize it for what it is: a populist identity crisis that could remake, or unmake, Western democracy.
A revolution in France would be the first signature on a permission slip for the same to happen elsewhere. Here's what might come next, and why it might come here.
The yellow vest protesters largely identify with the country's working and middle classes. Sound familiar? Of course it does, and that hasn't been lost on right-wing pundits. But unlike the MAGAs and Brexiteers , the yellow vest protesters aren't right-wingers, and their movement isn't thin cover for racist bile. They're angry with French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist, pro-business policies, which have continually come at the expense of the working class. That anger, which has simmered since Macron's candidacy, broke through last month in response to announced fuel tax hikes that would have hurt citizens in smaller towns and the countryside who must drive to work, and which wouldn't be felt in cities such as Paris, home to the government and other elites.
This has nothing to do with Marxism or perceived failures of a liberal or socialist experiment.
Much like with the Tea Party in the U.S., the yellow vest protests first took the form of leaderless, quasi-coordinated regional demonstrations in villages and small cities around the country. Unlike the Tea Party, however, they soon fed into full-on riots that led to fires and violent confrontations with police in the streets of wealthy Paris neighborhoods. Several hundred people were injured, and police arrested thousands. Last Friday the movement scored a victory when Macron announced he was canceling the tax increase, but if the depth of the movement's grievances wasn't clear before, it now should be. After all, no fire is about gasoline.
To be clear, the Macron government doesn't behave anything like the Marxist/socialist French cliche that lazy American conservatives so often fall back on, and which President Trump himself still seems to erroneously believe.
Not to belabor the point, but this isn't a revolt against the left. It's a revolt from the left. Macron isn't a radical liberal. He's a neoliberal: a former investment banker pragmatic, a pro-business, free-market centrist a step or two to the right of Obama. Far from a Marxist, Macron has openly mocked union demonstrators, calling them "cynical" and "lazy."
So this has nothing to do with "cultural Marxism" or socialism or a welfare state, or a rejection of their specific platforms, such as resistance to the Paris Agreement or broad efforts to fight climate change generally.
I am glad that my friend @EmmanuelMacron and the protestors in Paris have agreed with the conclusion I reached two years ago. The Paris Agreement is fatally flawed because it raises the price of energy for responsible countries while whitewashing some of the worst polluters….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2018
In fact, the yellow vests want to fight climate change. They just don't want the little guys to bear the financial burden for fixing the damage that industrial and corporate practices have caused. They hold Macron in contempt not because he's a liberal elitist, but because of his elitism: His perceived disdain for the lower and working classes that has manifest itself in free-market policies that, if unchecked, would treat them fairly cruelly. And here we begin to see the problem.
Left Hook
The maddening part for liberals is that over the last decade or so the right wing has used racial resentment to usurp the working class. We can see this clearly in the United States, though it's plain elsewhere, with Brexit being maybe the most salient example. But historically the left has always been the champion of labor, of the worker, of the poor. This isn't purely out of altruism: When everyone does better, everyone does better. The right, though, has been the champion of the corporation, of the conservative, of the fearful, of the white racists. And it just so turns out that many white, working-class people are also fearful racists who can be conned into supporting a conservative, pro-corporate platform, and here's where you see the far left wing hooking around to meet the far right.
We can, of course, see this plainly in the yellow vests, who for instance want their government to spend more to fight climate change and promote tax cuts that favor the working class. The simple solution: Put the burden on the companies. But it's easy to see how such message can be co-opted and perverted by right-wingers, mangled to the point of meaninglessness. Small wonder, then, that the Russian disinformation machine has seized on the chaos in France.
But we also see it here in the U.S. This conflict—which expresses itself in part as the Obama-Trump voters who have so captivated New York Times reporters—is actually an identity crisis. Where does left meet right? Where do they break?
It's clear that, in economic terms, left does meet right. We all recognize a massive rift in inequality. We all recognize things aren't right. But if we don't recognize that as a common and primary issue, however, we become vulnerable to exploitation. Hence the corporate usurpation of the "working class" in the MAGA and Brexit movements, where what political leaders and pundits pitched as an economic revolution was really a social wedge driven for their own selfish political and economic motives. It's a masterful move, but when the reality of economic consequences rocks voting blocs that have been quietly but effectively divided along cultural lines, we have the makings of political upheaval on a global scale.
This is why it's no coincidence Trump and those on the right have twisted the yellow vest economic narrative into a cultural one, invoking climate change and France's reputation as a socialist (somehow this becomes "Marxist") country when right now that couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is that as societies further polarize, right-wing populism of the MAGA/Brexit variety inevitably manifests as authoritarian fascism—which has already happened here in the U.S. It's also why a wave of fascist authoritarianism broke almost all at once in the 20th century with the advent of World War II. Revolutions are contagious.
But do we have the makings for this today? Well, if the violence of this new French revolution continues, demagogues such as Trump and Putin will seize on it and twist the narrative so it resonates with their blocs. They've already done that. It coincides with the U.K. now formally leaving the E.U., the recent flagrant Russian aggression in Ukraine, and the end of Merkel's tenure in Germany, where we've recently seen the troubling re-emergence of right-wing fascists and neo-Nazi groups. If the cracking continues and individual countries experience their own revolutions and internal fractures, these nations will turn inward to either resolve or assert central control over those problems. There will then be little interest or resources to keep our commitments to the Western democratic order.
This problem is, of course, exacerbated by the way we exchange information, in bite-sized social posts and headlines that spread at fiber-optic speed and cannot allot for nuance or context, let alone explain it. This is also a contagion. A contagion of confusion. So if there comes a reckoning to the Western order—including here in the U.S., given the all-but-inevitable intractable constitutional crisis the Trump presidency is about to precipitate—it won't be about what we think it's about. It will be because we're confused.

The Female Ghost Looking For A Substitute
Wang Sheng, Taiyuan, went out early one morning, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the way. She was beautiful and lovely, and she was walking alone with a heavy burden, and it was very difficult to walk. Wang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you traveling alone so early?" The girl said coldly, "People passing by can't relieve my worries, so why ask more questions." Wang Sheng smiled Said: "What are you worried about? If you need my help, I will never refuse." The girl said sadly: "My parents are greedy for money and sold me to a rich family. The eldest wife of that family is jealous of me. Sooner or later The beatings are just scolding, I can't bear it any longer, and I plan to flee far away." Wang Sheng asked her where she wanted to go, and the girl said, "For those who are fleeing, go wherever you go." Wang Sheng said, "My home is far away from here. Not far, if you don't mind, please come to my house." The girl agreed happily. So Wang Sheng carried the burden for her and took her home.
When they arrived at Wang Sheng's house, the girl saw that there was no one in the room, so she asked, "Why don't you have any family members?" Wang Sheng said, "This is the study." The girl said, "This is a good place. If you pity me and let me live, please Be sure to keep a secret for me, and never tell anyone else." Wang Sheng agreed to her request and lived with her. Wang Sheng hid her in a secret room, and no one found her after several days. One day, Wang Sheng quietly told his wife about it. His wife, Mrs. Chen, suspected that she was a concubine of a rich family and advised Wang Sheng to send her away. Wang Sheng disagreed.
Once, Wang Sheng met a Taoist priest on his way to the market. When the Taoist sized Wang Sheng up, he was astonished. He asked Wang Sheng, "What have you encountered recently?" Wang Sheng replied, "Nothing." To defend himself, the Taoist saw that he walked away without telling the truth, but said in his mouth: "It's really incomprehensible. There are really people in the world who are dying but don't wake up!" Hearing the Taoist's unusual words, Wang Sheng was right The girl I met had doubts, but then I thought, she is obviously a beauty, how could she be a monster? It is likely that the Taoist priest wanted to use an excuse to get rid of the demon, so let's have a good time. Not long after, Wang Sheng returned to the front door of his academy, but the door was closed and he couldn't get in. At this time, Wang Sheng became suspicious, so he climbed over the wall and went in. Seeing that the door was also tightly closed, he quietly walked to the window and looked in. He saw a green-faced evil ghost with long teeth like saws. Zhang put the human skin on the bed, and then took a colored pen to draw on the human skin. After painting, he threw away the brush, lifted the human skin, shook it like shaking clothes, and then put it on his body, dressing up as a beautiful woman. Seeing these scenes, Wang Sheng's soul was frightened. He got up from the ground like an animal and hurriedly followed the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest had disappeared. Wang Sheng was still chasing after him, and finally found it in the wild. Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and asked the Taoist priest for help. The Taoist said: "I just want to drive it away for you. This thing is also very pitiful. I haven't been able to find a substitute, so I don't have the heart to hurt its life." So the Taoist gave Wang Sheng a fly whisk and asked Wang Sheng Hang it on your bedroom door. Before breaking up, the two made an appointment to meet at Qingdi Temple.
When Wang Sheng returned home, he didn't dare to go to the study, so he slept in the bedroom and hung the whisk given by the Taoist priest on the door. At one watch, he heard a creaking sound outside the door. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift his head, so he had to ask his wife, Mrs. Chen, to see what was going on. At this time, the evil spirit was outside the door. It looked at Fuchen and dared not enter the house. It stood there gnashing its teeth and waited for a long time before walking away. After a while, it came again, and kept cursing the Taoist priest: "The dead Taoist scares me, can I still spit out the food in my mouth?" The evil ghost tore off the whisk and tore it to pieces, and then broke into the door. He went straight to Wang Sheng's bed, tore Wang Sheng's chest and abdomen apart, pulled out his heart, and fled. Wang Sheng's wife wailed loudly, and the girl came in holding a candle to see that Wang Sheng had died and his chest was full of blood. Chen was too frightened to cry. Early the next morning, Chen asked his younger brother Erlang to run and tell the Taoist priest. When the Taoist heard about it, he was very angry and said: "I pity you, but who knows that you, a little devil, dare to be so rampant!" He immediately followed Erlang to Wang's house. The girl had disappeared. The Taoist looked up and looked around, and said, "Fortunately, it hasn't gone far." He asked Erlang, "Whose house is in the south courtyard?" Erlang said, "It's my home." The Taoist said, "The ghost is coming to you Home." Erlang said in surprise that he would not be at his house, and the Taoist asked again: "Is there someone you don't know who has been to your house?" Erlang said: "I went to Qingdi Temple early in the morning, I don't know Is there anyone in the house, I will go back and ask." He came back shortly after he left and said: "There is really someone at my house. An old woman ran to my house this morning and said she wanted to be a servant for my house. My wife didn't Promise her, she hasn't left yet." The Taoist said that she was an evil ghost.
So the Taoist and Erlang went to the South Courtyard together. The Taoist stood in the middle of the yard, holding a wooden sword, and shouted loudly: "Ghost, please pay me for the whisk!" The old woman was terrified in the house, unable to do anything, so she rushed out to escape. The Taoist caught up and stabbed at it with a sword. In an instant, the old woman fell to the ground, her human skin fell off, and the old woman turned into a ghost, howling like a pig on the ground. The Taoist cut off the ghost's head with a wooden sword, and the evil ghost turned into a puff of smoke and coiled into a small pile on the ground. The Taoist took out a gourd, unplugged it and put it in the smoke. The gourd immediately sucked in the smoke as if it were breathing in. Then the Taoist plugged the mouth of the gourd and put it in a bag. The people present looked at the human skin, and found that the eyebrows, hands and feet were all complete. Daotu rolled up the human skin like a scroll and put it in a bag. Just as he was about to leave, Mrs. Chen knelt down at the door and begged the Taoist priest to cast a spell to save her husband Wang Sheng. The Taoist refused and said that he was not good enough, and Chen was even more mournful, knelt on the ground and refused to get up. The Taoist thought for a while and said, "My spells are very shallow, and I really can't bring the dead back to life. Let me introduce you to someone who may be able to bring the dead back to life. You can ask him for sure." Chen asked the man Who is it, the Taoist said: "There is a lunatic who often sleeps in the dung in the market. You might as well kowtow and beg him to save people. If he insults you in every possible way, you must not be angry." Erlang also heard of this person. So he thanked the Taoist priest and went to the market with his sister-in-law Chen to look for the madman.
In the street market, they saw the beggar singing crazily on the road, his nose was several feet long, and his body was filthy, which made people stay away. Mrs. Chen knelt and kowtowed in front of him, but he smiled and said, "Does the beauty love me?" Mrs. Chen told him about her husband being killed by an evil spirit, and asked him to save her husband. The beggar laughed again and said, "Every man can be your husband, why do you want to save him?" Mrs. Chen begged again and again, and the beggar said, "What a strange thing! A man is dead and begs me to save him, isn't it? Am I the Lord of Hell?" After he finished speaking, he angrily hit Mrs. Chen with a wooden stick, and Mrs. Chen reluctantly let him beat him. There are more and more people onlookers in the market, almost forming a human wall. The beggar suddenly spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, brought it to Mrs. Chen's mouth and said, "Swallow it!" Mrs. Chen blushed at the time and felt very embarrassed, but remembering what the Taoist said, she could only swallow it. Chen felt that the phlegm was as hard as a ball of cotton, making rattling noises in the throat, and finally stagnated in the chest. The beggar smiled and said again: "The beauty loves me!" Then he left without looking back. Chen Shi and Erlang followed him, and when he reached the temple, he disappeared. Mrs. Chen and the others searched around in front of and behind the temple, but they couldn't find any trace, so they had to return home with shame and resentment. Chen really had mixed feelings. She mourned her husband's tragic death and regretted the humiliation she suffered by swallowing the beggar's sputum. She cried so hard that she wanted to die. She was about to wipe the blood of her deceased husband and pretend to be a corpse, but her family members stood far away and did not dare to come to help. Mrs. Chen had no choice but to hold the corpse and collect the intestines alone, and she cried while cooking. Her voice was completely hoarse after crying for a long time, she suddenly wanted to vomit, and felt something rushing up in her chest, and before she could turn around, the thing had already fallen into her husband's chest cavity. She was surprised to find that it turned out to be a human heart, which was already throbbing in her husband's chest and emitting steaming heat. Chen felt it was very strange, and hurriedly closed her husband's chest cavity with her hands, and squeezed it tightly in the middle of the chest. As soon as she relaxed, heat came out from the seam of her wound. So, she quickly tore a piece of silk to bind up the wound. She touched her husband's body with her hands and found that she had a body temperature. She hurriedly covered the quilt again. When I saw it in the middle of the night, my husband was already breathing weakly. At dawn, her husband came back to life. She heard Wang Sheng say, "I was in a trance like a dream, but I always felt severe pain in my stomach." Chen looked at her husband's wound and found that there was only a scab the size of a copper coin left. cured.

Labyrinthian: Function vs. Fashion in Daily Fantasy Sports
By Matthew Freedman @MattFtheOracle
"Even in catalogues of some of the best modern silver, handles are much less likely than blades or bowls or tines to be obscured or omitted from an illustration. In an exhaustive catalogue of silver-plate patterns intended for collectors, nothing but handles are shown, as if to stress that even to the practiced eye there is little to distinguish knives, spoons, and forks of one individual pattern from another."
— Henry Petroski, The Evolution of Useful Things
A Needless Header, but Nonetheless a Header
I've been working my way through Petroski's Evolution of Useful Things for over a month. It's provided inspiration for a couple of Labyrinthians on invention and failure, and it's a good book overall — but I can't wait to be done with it. If I read one more paragraph on the history of eating utensils I might cut someone's heart out with a spoon.
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's dull, you twit. It'll hurt more.
Pseudo-plagiarism: It's what we do.
In his chapter entitled "Domestic Fashion and Industrial Design," Petroski talks about function vs. fashion. I think the distinction between the two has daily fantasy sports resonance.
By the way, as I write this it's early in the morning on a Saturday. I'm in Orlando, surrounded by 15 FantasyLabs bros in various states of hungover-ness, and pounding this out as quickly as possible so I can maximize my time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, a.ka. the mecca.
I'm officially in DGAF mode.
Function vs. Fashion
Petroski examines the way that dining utensils and tools are talked about and presented in order to explore the distinction between fashionability and functionality. Per Petroski:
It appears that, early in [the 20th century], as opposed to the gadget-prone Victorian era, eating implements had clearly become objects more of fashion than of function.
Where fashion does not monopolize form, it is the business end of a tool that gets the most attention. Thus, in a collectors' handbook of hammers, handles are consistently cropped from the photos of at least a thousand unique tools. And in a book on country craft tools, one illustration of a wide variety of hammers shows several with their handles cut off, and among those handles that are drawn complete there is very little variation compared with that of the heads. Indeed, the illustration raises the question why the handles have not become as specialized as the heads; the answer may be that craftsmen are more interested in how their tools affect the work than in how suited they are to the hand.
The greatest variation in hammer handles appears to be in their length, a feature related more to the magnitude of the hammer's blow than to its grip. . . . Besides, the craftsman's hand will soon adapt to the handle it works with as surely as we adapt to the handles of the silverware set before us. There is little room for style on the workbench itself.
Let's discuss.
DFS Flatware
My sense is that far too many people focus on fashion and not function when it comes to DFS. They focus on the handles of their eating utensils and not the head of their hammers.
Many DFS players view Tools as aesthetic gadgets, not robust instruments. When they look at Player Models, they see them more as ornate forks and spoons than blunt implements. It's not a surprise that the Trends tool — perhaps the most functional in our suite but also the least stylish — is drastically underused by too many of our subscribers.
Many DFS players view themselves as consumers, not as artisans. Metaphorically, they see themselves as homebuyers, not homebuilders. They wish to eat even though they neither farm nor hunt. For instance, during the NFL season too many people would look at our various Player Models and ask, "Which one's the best?" Instead, they should've experimented with the tool for themselves and attempted to make as many superior models as possible.
Basically, too many people treat DFS as if it's a piece of dead fish ready to be stabbed with a fork and eaten. Not enough people think of it as a piece of metal that needs to be hammered repeatedly until it finally takes the desired shape.
Too many people focus on the shiny splendor of the handle — the point where they interact with and touch the tool. Ultimately, most handles are irrelevant. What matters most with any tool is how well it works, and that rarely has anything to do with the handle unless the handle is sh*tty. How a person 'interfaces' with a DFS tool is relevant only to the extent that it enhances or hinders the ability of a person to do well at DFS.
At FantasyLabs, we — and by "we" I mean the programmers and development guys behind the scene — work hard to make our tools attractive and friendly for users. We want our tools to look impressive, because we understand that first impressions are important. But, more pragmatically, we want are tools to be impressive. We want you to use them not because they look cool but because they can help you become better at DFS. That's why we continue to expand our suite of Tools. For instance, we just recently added our DFS Ownership Dashboard. On the one hand, it looks good and is great for sweating contests. On the other hand, the tool has real functionality, and you should learn how to use it.
My belief is that people who get the most out of DFS and also their Labs experience — and probably even life — tend to approach everything as if they are craftspeople.
Ultimately, we are the metal we fashion.
