'Where There's Smoke…' is an episode which has whetted the appetite of many a fan girl (and maybe some guys). Yes it's the one where Sam and Callen go undercover as firemen, much to the chagrin of Deeks, who fancies himself as Mr November. And even Nell shares that common fantasy, sighing at the screen in ops each time a fireman appears.
Case-wise, the Los Angeles Fire Department attend a warehouse blaze and after extinguishing the fire, realise one of their team is missing. The fire fighter is found dead inside a locked SCIF , a DOD secured area used to process classified intelligence so Nell, Sam and Callen comb the scene and delay the arson investigation. The pair explore the scorched rooms with Sam borrowing a UV light to reveal a spray of liquids on the back wall. Despite Callen's inferred dirty jokes that someone or a group of people had a great time in the room, Arson Investigator Peter Hackett confirms the light bulb was injected with accelerant and begrudgingly thanks the pair. When a rogue fire fighter is discovered on camera leaving the scene, Sam and Callen venture undercover, whilst Kensi and Deeks liaise with the DOD.
For once there are logical reasons why neither Kensi or Deeks are suitable to go undercover despite both being keen to do so, later commenting they would both want to run into a burning building. But the LAFD overlaps with Deeks LAPD precinct and there is a risk he might be recognised. As fire fighters do not take kindly to strangers, let alone a female, Sam and Callen are the remaining options. The former had ship side fire drills as a SEAL, the latter spent his eighteenth summer as a wildfire prevention volunteer (presumably not as part of any youth prisoner rehabilitation).
The team is hostile to new transfers and Callen bites back a sarcastic comment when asked his name (pointing to his badge); Sam wins most of them round with a steak. There is humour when the fire alarm sounds, with Callen trying to persuade Sam that he does have time to go down the pole. On the job the two assume the role of rookies; Sam is solid but Callen's partner catches him without his oxygen switched on. The fire scenes are dark and smoky with flames licking the rooms and the action becomes intense, particularly knowing the inexperience of Callen and Sam. But they do get a kick out of saving the female hostage (missing DOD Lieutenant) and apprehending the man impersonating a fire man.
As is the most welcomed trend of season seven, there are numerous references to past episodes. Deeks is convinced that as his life is going so well, something is due to happen that will upset the apple cart. Kensi seriously asks if Mercury is in retrograde (reference season five's The Livelong Day). This continues until Deeks realises the ill feelings have been fulfilled – his mom (with a terrible track record in men) – has found herself a man. Kensi too refers to her past, citing the marines that killed her father as evidence team mates can turn on each other. Most important is the continuation of Deek's gut-feeling that something bad will happen. Hetty feels this too, although she attributes this to the mole who is still at large. It seems certain s/he will not be found until season eight. Hetty is uncharacteristically hesitant in the shooting range, almost seeming ill. The final scene between her and Granger dwells on this gut feeling of impending disaster. Kensi's comment about fellow marines turning might only have been pertinent to the earlier team scene, but with the theme of imminent disaster, could Kensi's comment be a prophecy that someone in their team is the mole?
Callen has publicly acknowledged his real name, updating his NCIS ID (can he do that without a birth certificate)? Sam still calls him G and criticises that he kept his old photo, where he looks 'angry' as he didn't know his name. The minor psychology is a throwback to Nate's comments that Callen's search for his name was his lifelong security blanket; Sam even states to Callen that he's a changed man, which he refutes.
Nell and Eric reminisce about their childhood dreams of becoming a fireman and Supergirl respectively, with Granger bursting their bubble by stating when he was five, he wanted to be six. A realist. And with Sam and Callen exiting the building on the high of a fireman's adrenaline rush, Granger yet again bursts their bubble by questioning how many fires they actually put out. Someone needs to ground the team occasionally and bring them back to reality…Hello Granger!
Rate the episode out of five below, and please leave a comment about your thoughts on the episode.
Thanks for your review. Perceptive as always! I loved the episode which may or may not have anything to do with Callen and Sam dressed as fire fighters. I found the storyline easy to follow even if it was a little implausible in places. There was great banter between Callen and Sam as usual and Callen has really embraced his name by having it on his identification. I can identify with Deeks too. I sometimes feel that I am too happy and something will happen to take it away. Kensi really knows how to calm him. However, he feels it has happened because of his mother and the new man in her life. I hope we get to meet him too. Eric and Nell were funny and Granger was the voice of reason. The other point to mention is the mole. I agree that we probably won't know more until next season. Hetty was hinting at doom and gloom, but I think that was for the season finale. It all ties in of course because that is how Tahir found out about Sam's family. It has gone on too long, though. The mole must be stopped.

Call Down the Hawk – Maggie Stiefvater (Review)
Nov 28, 2019 /
Call Down the Hawk is part one in a new trilogy that takes place after Maggie Stiefvater's quadrilogy, The Raven Cycle. You can read Call Down the Hawk without having read The Raven Cycle, the pertinent plot points are outlined in the first few chapters, but I don't know that you'd want to.
The Raven Cycle is a meandering year-in-the-life of a group of friends searching for magic in modern day Virginia. One of those friends, Ronan Lynch, is dealing with a lot. He recently discovered the body of his murdered father, he's been exiled from the farm where he grew up, he's grappling with his sexuality and he has a huge family secret – a magical secret – that his late father made him promise to keep.
Ronan starts out in The Raven Boys as angry, depressed and ashamed of who he is. His self-hatred is literally killing him. His journey over the course of the rest of the cycle is what makes him such a great main character in Call Down the Hawk. We've seen everything he went through to get where he is, we already care deeply about him, about his romantic relationship, about his brothers and even about his family home – the magical sanctuary where some of the story is set.
A large part of what made Call Down the Hawk so enjoyable for me was those gentle moments that harkened back to the past. A single sentence between two characters unfurls a four-book legacy of emotions. A single image of life now, reminds us of what life was and how far these characters have come.
And then there's the fact that Call Down the Hawk is all about Ronan's big family secret. So if you read Call Down the Hawk first, you're gonna get spoiled for that. And if you read the rest of this review, you're gonna get spoiled about that too. So be warned. (I won't, however, spoil Call Down the Hawk itself. I promise. Things I discuss here are within the first few pages of the book.)
With sequel series, there's often the concern that an author is trying to cash in on past success, that they're essentially writing fanfic of their own creation.
Rest assured, Call Down the Hawk is not that.
If you're expecting more Gansey, Blue and Grey Man (from The Raven Cycle), you're going to be disappointed. This is a new story, set a few months after the events of The Raven King, that hones in on the Lynch brothers but also introduces a whole cast of new characters and a set of new fun locations.
While The Raven Cycle was a quiet exploration of fate and identity, Call Down the Hawk is an adventure story with secret organisations, a dark magical underworld and even some explosions.
In her Reddit AMA, Stiefvater said, "The Scorpio Races is the book of my heart, and I always told people when I wrote it that I'd need to live another decade before I'd filled the well enough to write something so full of Maggie. Call Down the Hawk is that book."
And it shows. Call Down the Hawk is rich with its own observations of the world and is packed with fresh ideas.
Being creative is a blessing and a curse
The plot follows Ronan, a Dreamer who can bring things from his dreams into the real world; Hennessy, a Dreamer who can only bring copies of herself into the real world; and Farooq-Lane who believes that these Dreamers are going to destroy the real world and she has to find them and kill them before they do.
In a video talking about her reasons for writing this new trilogy, Stiefvater mentioned that the Dreamers are a metaphor for creatives. Once you see it, it seems so obvious.
Ronan as we find him at the start of Call Down the Hawk spends his days in a large barn, dreaming things, as an artist would spend their days in a studio committing their creations to canvas or clay.
His concerned older brother, Declan, wants him to go and get a real education, a real job, worries that he will never be satisfied just arting around the place. But creating is a huge part of who Ronan is, to the point where he gets physically ill when he can't create. Ronan pushes the limits of his creativity and longs to connect with other Dreamers who understand what it's like to create in the way he does.
Enter Hennessy. She takes the metaphor even further because she's an actual artist, daughter of an actual artist.
Stiefvater loves mirrors and Ronan and Hennessy are fine mirrors of each other. Like Ronan, Hennessy had a Dreamer parent. Like Ronan, Hennessy is haunted (not literally – have to clarify in Siefvater books) by that dead parent. Like Ronan, she was the one to discover that parent's body. Like Ronan, she's a dreamer. Like Ronan her living family is made up partly of dreams (her copy-sisters). She is also like Raven Cycle Ronan in her bitterness and depression. But as with Ronan's last Dreamer mirror (Kavinsky in The Dream Thieves), she is not Ronan and it's through comparing the two that we gain the real insight into how creating is always deeply personal.
The forger is a forgery
Hennessy's an infamous art forger, but her greatest forgery is her dream copy, Jordan. The two of them share a rambling mansion, and a life, with all of the other dream copy girls. Jordan is the true artist who longs for her own identity but is trapped pretending to be Hennessy.
Through Jordan, Steifvater asks a number of interesting questions about selfhood and about the concept of originality. Are Jordan's paintings any less impressive because another master created them first? Is Jordan herself any less impressive because she's a clone?
And here's another mirror: She's a copy who is doomed to make copies.
Call Down the Hawk is full of two things: dreams and paintings. Both types of creation. Stolen paintings, cursed paintings, tattoos, tattoo curses, rare paintings, forged paintings, forged rare paintings, forged rare painting forgers. Dream forgeries, forged Dreamers. Dangerous forgeries, dangerous paintings, dangerous Dreamers, dangerous dreams. It asks: Is creativity always good? Is creativity ever safe? Is creativity always lonely?
It's a book for the creative dreamers, about dreaming creatives. And also crime.
It probably goes without saying that I adored Call Down the Hawk. I listened to the audiobook which was read by the same narrator as The Raven Cycle, Will Patton, meaning that Ronan sounded like Ronan and Adam sounded like Adam and everything felt right. But at about half way through I realised that I'd need to get the hard copy of it too, so I could hug it (and bookmark my favourite passages).
One of the best things about this book was how it balanced dark and light. There were scenes that made me cry, and scenes that made me laugh, and scenes that made me feel like I was floating. For every hit of fear or excitement, there was a quiet moment of happiness to balance it out.
It's not The Raven Cycle. It's The Raven Cycle grown up.

Antiques are absolutely full of character; that's why we love them so much. But that character was almost invariably gained over the course of a long, and sometimes hard life. Every crack, scratch, colour change, and texture is usually attributable to some event in the distant past. And as much as we love our antiques for that character, it's not normally something we want to make much contribution to. That's why we always try and store antiques carefully. But what if you need to reclaim a bit of space around the house? Some of those antiques may be first in line for a stint in self storage. That then begs the question: how should you store antiques in self storage?

I'm gonna say no educational shorts next time. Only full length.
BTW, I'm stumped. This might be a stopper. BTW, no TV movies. Just going to through that in there.

Brooklyn Lab's middle school is recognized for its success in integrating technology into the classroom.
Congratulations to Brooklyn Laboratory Charter Schools! On September 14, the Carnegie Corporation grantee was named one of ten winners in a national competition to reimagine the American high school. The contest sponsor, XQ: The Super School Project, is providing $10 million in support for each winner, which will assist Brooklyn Lab with expansion plans that the Corporation seeded in 2015.
A day earlier, Brooklyn Lab's existing middle school was singled out for a visit by the U.S. Department of Education in recognition of its success integrating technology into the classroom. Brooklyn Lab, which has been planning two new high schools as part of the Corporation's Opportunity by Design initiative, is known for its innovative approach to meeting the needs of a diverse student population, including customized student learning plans, and lots of opportunities for learning both inside and out of the school building. This fall, Brooklyn Lab celebrated the opening of a second middle school in Downtown Brooklyn, and it will launch two new high schools in 2017 with $3 million in Corporation support.
(L-R): Erin Mote, Brooklyn Lab; Mario Cardona, White House Domestic Policy Council; Daniel Rabuzzi, MOUSE; Saskia Levy Thompson, Carnegie Corporation; Ben Esner, Center for K12 STEM Education, NYU Tandon School of Engineering; and Joseph South, USDOE.
During a panel discussion, Joseph South, the director of educational technology for the USDOE, talked about how Brooklyn Lab's work advances the White House's ConnectEd initiative by using technology in service of teaching and learning. Saskia Levy Thompson, the Corporation's program director for next generation high schools, said technology is important, but the overall goal is to "throw the cookie cutters away" by designing schools that meet the individual needs of students one community at a time.

Mammals in our midst; jaws faster than the blink of an eye; how birds see the world
Mark Wexler
Mammals in our midst
In a large-scale, four-year study, scientists from several U.S. institutions discovered that a surprising variety of wild mammals thrive near humans in two major metropolitan areas: Washington, D.C., and Raleigh, North Carolina. Working with hundreds of volunteers, the researchers deployed more than 1,400 motion-triggered cameras in a range of habitats in both cities—from backyards to large nature preserves—moving them every three weeks to new locations, so sampling took place continuously year-round. "In terms of how many species used them, there wasn't a significant difference in mammal populations between suburban areas and wild areas, and that surprised us," says North Carolina State University researcher Arielle Parsons. While many images showed common creatures such as white-tailed deer, some captured unexpected species, including bobcats (above, in Arizona). In all, the cameras photographed 19 mammal species in the two areas. "This is the first time we've had the camera trap's perspective to really compare wild to suburban sites," the researchers write in eLife.
Jaws 5,000 times faster than the blink of an eye
Dracula ants are named for their habit of feeding on the blood of their young. They also, according to a team of U.S. entomologists, can execute the fastest known movement by an animal appendage. Using high-speed cameras under laboratory conditions, the scientists found that one tropical Dracula species, Mystrium camillae (above), snaps its mandibles at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour—5,000 times faster than the blink of an eye. "The ants use this motion to smack other arthropods," says University of Illinois entomologist Andrew Suarez. The force of the action, the team reports in Royal Society Open Science, is so great that it can stun or kill prey, which the ants then feed to larvae in their nest.
How birds see the world
Researchers from Sweden's Lund University have successfully imitated how birds see colors in the wild. Like people, birds' color vision is based on three primary hues: red, green and blue. However, avian animals also make use of ultraviolet light, which enables them to view the world very differently than do humans.
To recreate how birds see their environment, the scientists built an innovative camera equipped with special filters. They discovered that in situations where humans only see green (above left), for example, birds can see contrasts in dense foliage (above right). "No one knew about this until this study," coauthor Dan-Eric Nilsson reports in the journal Nature Communications. To birds, the upper sides of leaves appear much lighter in ultraviolet. From below, the leaves look dark. This visual three-dimensional structure in dense foliage, the scientists found, enables the animals to navigate and find food more easily. "We may have the notion that what we see is the reality, but it's a highly human reality," says Nilsson. Animals such as birds, he notes, live in different realities.

A Story, a Stage, a Starring Role
September 30, 2016 Richard PaigePosted in Uncategorized
Richard Paige — Sometimes, it's just meant to be, and so it was with the upcoming production of Peter and the Starcatcher.
Wabash College is the first collegiate theater company in Indiana to produce the show on campus. The rights for the play that won five Tony Awards came open this year, and Assistant Professor of Theater Jessie Mills acted fast.
"I've had my eye on it for a while so we scooped it up when we had the chance," she said. "Needless to say, I thought it would be a lot of fun for our students and a big change of pace."
Rory Willats '17 during a recent dress rehearsal.
As it turns out, Mills also had someone in mind to play the boy who never grew up, one best suited to handle the ragged and chaotic style that has become this musical play's calling card.
Rory Willats '17 is just that guy. He is no stranger to the Wabash stage, having occupied supporting roles in more than a handful of Wabash productions, but Peter and the Starcatcher will be his first leading role.
"I really think this is a role perfectly suited to me," Willats said, "which is not to say that this process is a walk in the park by any means. Because it's a high-energy, physical show and because there are parts of the boy I can see in myself, it isn't at all easy for me. It's also the first time in my career that I'm able to wrestle with a role in a show like this."
The curtain rises on Peter and the Starcatcher on Oct. 5, and Mills is confident that Rory will inject something new into the prequel of Peter Pan, a story which nearly everyone is familiar.
"He is perfect in the role of Peter – a character who is as boyish and optimistic as he is frightened and vulnerable," said Mills. "Rory has done a wonderful job pulling out the depth of complexities in Peter. I'm excited for audiences to see his performance."
A Great Little Gem
Richard Paige — Even historical footnotes are memorable.
Late in the fourth quarter of Wabash's 59-7 win over Allegheny on Sept. 17, a 5-foot-9 sophomore running back trotted onto the field for his first collegiate game action. His first carry netted a one-yard gain.
This particular back, Austin Hoover, was a good high school player, rushing for better than 2,600 yards as a senior at Sheridan (IN) High School. He's been a hard worker at Wabash who shows up every day hoping to make himself and his teammates a little better.
Austin Hoover '19.
"I just set my mind to help out whoever is playing," Hoover said. "If I'm on scout team that week, I'm going to do my best to make sure they get the best looks. If I get some reps on offense, I'm going to make those count. I'm making sure everything in practice counts in one way or another to help during the game."
Three carries later, Hoover took the ball at the Wabash 32 yard-line and burst into the clear for a 47-yard gain, helping the Little Giants to a big piece of history. His scamper was the one that broke the single-game rushing record, originally set in 1975. Wabash ended the day with a whopping 513 yards on the ground.
"There was no better guy to set the school record than Austin Hoover," said Wabash head coach Don Morel.
So what's it feel like break off a big run where there is nothing in front of you but turf and the end zone?
Six of the guys pictured here helped Wabash rush for 513 yards on Sept. 17. Pictured above are (l to r): Bobby Blum '19; Tyler Downing '18; Isaac Avant '20; Shamir Johnson '17; Assistant Coach/RBs Darold Hughes; Matt Penola '19; Cam Morgan '20; Austin Hoover '19; and Lamore Boudoin '20.
"It's a good feeling to know that you are getting open, but there is anxiety there as well that there could be someone coming up on you," said Hoover, who finished the game with 57 yards rushing on four carries. "My thought process was 'I am going to score in this play. I'm going for it.'"
While he was tripped up shy of the goal line, Hoover realized his carry was the record breaker just like everyone else: when it was announced to the stadium.
"When they announced it over the P.A., I kind of put two and two together that my run put it over," he laughed. "It's a good feeling to know that I was a part of the record breaking. Obviously, I wouldn't be a part of it if it wasn't for the other five backs who contributed."
Coach Morel was all smiles while reviewing film two days later.
"Those guys down the depth chart, they practice hard and they really play hard when they get a chance," said Morel. "A story like Hoover's, it's a great little gem."

Gap has been fighting to make its brand the cool status symbol it used to be.
In order to do this, the brand has started taking several steps to improve, including making major hires at the executive level and getting designs in stores faster.
Executives promised customers would see changes in stores by Spring 2016.
We recently took a trip to Gap on New York City's Fifth Avenue to see what the brand has changed.
We can already see some progress.
One major change is that the denim selection was strong. Denim is crucial for Gap. "I said before and I'll just reiterate, we are pretty confident that the denim cycle has hit bottom and it has been coming back over the last several months," CEO Art Peck said on a recent earnings call.
The store was also selling denim jackets.
The company was definitely getting back to fall basics. We saw things like this earth-toned sweater that could be mixed and matched with other things.
But there was a huge sale section — a sign of too much inventory.
Gap is working on its supply chain. "So the story on supply chain is, as we've been telling it, that we're continuing to push on it on a number of the elements, on platform fabric which enables us to get back into season very quickly on some of the test and respond that we've been doing," Peck said.
But not all markdowns were so drastic.
Tops were also largely marked down. But Gap is aiming to re-charge its knits business. "Knit is a big category in women's where we gave up market share. It is a niche cycle right now. It is an opportunity for us to get our share in more than our fair share," Peck said.
It looked like Gap was focusing on comfort with these dressed up sweatpants.
There were some misses that were certainly not everyday basics — like these cheetah print leather slip-ons.
"The team has been focused obviously on spring of 2016 and I'm confident that they have been doing the right work to get the business back on track as we get into next year," Peck said on the earnings call. We can assume these current changes are laying the foundation for Gap's massive turnaround.

Poll: Only Blacks Have Majority Opposition to Gay Marriage
CP Current Page: Politics | Wednesday, November 14, 2012 | Coronavirus →
Blacks Most Supportive, Latinos Least Supportive, of Legalizing Pot
By Napp Nazworth, Christian Post Reporter Follow | Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Among blacks, Latinos and whites, blacks were the only racial or ethnic group in which a majority of respondents said they opposed gay marriage, in a Washington Post-ABC poll. On marijuana legalization, blacks are most supportive while Latinos are the least supportive.
Fifty-one percent of blacks, 45 percent of Latinos and 47 percent of whites said they oppose gay marriage in the Nov. 7 poll of 1,023 adults. The margin of error for the full sample is 3.5 percentage points.
In the full sample, a majority, 51 percent, said they support gay marriage, including 33 percent who say they strongly support gay marriage. Forty-seven percent said they oppose gay marriage, including 35 percent who say they strongly oppose gay marriage.
The results are different than a recent Pew Research Center poll showing for the first time a plurality of blacks, 44 percent, favoring gay marriage, and only 39 percent opposed to gay marriage. The same poll showed 49 percent of whites favoring and 41 percent of whites opposed to gay marriage.
The Washington Post-ABC poll showed larger differences among age groups. A majority of those 65 and older, 66 percent, opposed gay marriage, while a majority of 18- to 39-year-olds, 59 percent, said they support gay marriage. The middle age group, 40- to 64-year-olds, were about evenly split -- 51 percent supported and 47 percent opposed gay marriage.
On the question of legalization of marijuana, the poll found that Latinos were mostly opposed, blacks were mostly supportive and whites were about evenly split.
When asked "do you support or oppose legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use?" 65 percent of Latinos were opposed and 54 percent of blacks were supportive. Among whites, 50 percent supported and 48 percent opposed marijuana legalization.
In last week's election, there were two ballot measures in Colorado and Washington favoring the legalization of marijuana that passed. Plus, four ballot measures dealing with marriage, in Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington, were all won by proponents of gay marriage.

Pine View's Claire Critchett Wins Florida Governor's Black History Month Essay Contest
The following award-winning essay was written by Claire Critchett. Claire was the only middle school student in the state of Florida to win this essay contest. She received a four-year Florida College Plan scholarship provided by Florida Prepaid College Foundation.
Please click here for the official press release from the Governor's Office.
Public service is the backbone of our country, states, cities, and neighborhoods. It keeps us moving forward. William Henry Hastie was a revolutionary public servant who persevered through many difficulties. He attended many prestigious schools including Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1930. Hastie was the first black federal judge, governor of a U.S. territory and held the highest judicial position for a black man at the time.
First, Hastie was the first black federal judge in the United States. His federal career began in 1933 in the department of the interior. In 1936, he, along with many legislators from the Virgin Islands, wrote the Organic Act, establishing American government for the Virgin Islands, helping the citizens transition from Danish Law. He worked in the department of the interior for many years until Harold Ickes recommended him for a position as judge. Jessie Carney Smith, author of Black Heroes, writes, "In 1936, Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior, submitted Hastie's name to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ickes nominated Hastie for a seat on the United States District Court in the Virgin Islands." (Smith 308). Hastie encountered racial opposition in America but was confirmed on March 19, 1937. He served for two years, then left to teach at Howard University. He taught law for a year and became a civilian aide to the secretary of war under Roosevelt. Hastie held many federal positions, including being the first black to be a federal judge. Hastie broke many racial barriers and helped make America a better place.
Next, Hastie became the first black governor of a U.S. territory. Smith elaborates, saying, "In 1946 after a recommendation from an old friend, Harold Ickes… Hastie once again became a candidate for a government post. This time he was under consideration… as the first black governor of the Virgin Islands." (Smith 310). Once again, he surpassed many obstacles and was confirmed by the Senate on May 1, 1926. Hastie served as governor for the Islands for many years until he was given a seat on the Third United States Circuit Court of Appeals, making him the highest-ranking black judicial official at the time. Hastie served as a governor and chief judge for several years until he retired at the age of sixty-six.
In closing, William Henry Hastie was an inspirational public servant. He was an amazing role model for many others as a judge, governor, and teacher. Hastie was, as Harold Ickes said, "... not only an excellent lawyer but a man of fine character and sensibilities..." (Smith 308). He cared about the well-being of other people and worked hard his whole life to make sure everyone received the good or bad things they had rightfully earned. Hastie broke many prejudices to become the first black federal judge, governor of the Virgin Islands, and to hold the highest judicial position of any black man of his time. Hastie was an extraordinary public servant and a fascinating man.

108/7, lovely. Odd that Leach has 18 overs and three wickets and Bess has had only one four over spell though.
I think we as a country owe it to Darren Stevens to give him an Ashes tour as well. 600 runs at 41 and 52 wickets at 18. He'd probably be brilliant.
@nickcricket Given how badly most of the Australian batsmen play spin Ali, Root, Westley, Malan and Ballance might just be enough to see England to victory tbh.
Woakes/Porter/SCurran|Wood/Stokes seems okay, at least in Britain.
I'd take simply 'something different' in that third slot. Could be SCurran for the lefty option in a few years.
@KieranLayer last 18 months his average is much lower and he won a game for the Lions v S.A. A earlier this summer, but can't stay fit.
Joverton's average is a bit like Stonemans in being made to look a lot worse by his early career. Last couple of seasons he's been low 20s but struggling to string games together.
Finn is in the 'never mind eh' category.
What other 'strike' bowling options are there? Last I checked, the fast Overton (I forget which is which) had a pretty ordinary bowling average.
I can rage about the ludicrous set up of having county DoCs on the selection panel and the obvious anti West Country bias there for days. I would of course complain the moment England picked any of our players about them depriving us. I didn't say I was a reasonable man.
@NemoUKS - hopefully before Jimmy retires. If only England had so much depth in batting!
I know that the selectors have tried a lot of third bowlers over the years, mostly strike options apart from Woakes, but Coverton and Porter must be up there in terms of the more regulation line/length option if Anderson were to ever retire right?
If ever a quote summed up a team...."At tea Yorkshire were 78 for no wicket with Marsh on 35 and Kohler-Cadmore 39. It was the highest opening partnership of the season."

All of your questions on filing taxes in 2020, answered
January 24, 2020, 12:38 PM UTC
The ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has resulted in some changes to the 2020 tax season. The biggest of those is you no longer have to sweat an April 15 tax deadline.
Tax day has been postponed until July 15 due to the virus's spread. News of that decision, made March 20, came a few days after the federal government announced it was deferring payments by 90 days.
It's a lot to keep up with—and it's still changing regularly. And, even though we've had a year to adjust to the numerous changes in the tax code), there's still a lot of confusion out there.
Here's the good news: You can get free help putting together your taxes. You can get an extension if things get overwhelming. And, with a little planning, you can lay the groundwork for a refund next year (or a bigger one if you're in line for money back in 2020).
As you get started on your 2019 tax filings, we've gathered answers to some of the most common questions.
When are federal taxes due in 2020?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) building stands on April 15, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Zach Gibson—Getty Images
You've got an extra three months this year, amid the coronavirus pandemic. The IRS and Treasury Department have changed the deadline from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020 to file taxes for your 2019 income. If you're still not quite ready then, you can file for an extension before that date.
At @realDonaldTrump's direction, we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.
— Steven Mnuchin (@stevenmnuchin1) March 20, 2020
Special rules typically apply to people serving in the Armed Forces who are in a combat zone/ contingency operation or have been hospitalized due to an injury sustained in such an area. Those individuals have traditionally had 180 days after they leave the area to file and pay taxes. It's unclear, though, how the extension of this year's deadline and the pandemic will factor in to that.
[Subscribe to Fortune's Bull Sheet newsletter for no-nonsense finance news and analysis daily.]
What are the U.S. tax brackets for federal income in 2019-2020?
After sweeping changes to the tax code in 2018, the IRS made even more changes to its individual income tax brackets last year to adjust for inflation. Curious where you stand? As always, it depends, in part, on how you file.
Download the 2020 tax bracket table here.
How much do you have to make to file taxes?
That really all depends on your filing status and age.
If you're single and under the age of 65, you'll need to file if you make more than $12,200. If you're older than that, the minimum amount jumps to $13,850.
Married and filing jointly? If both spouses are under 65, the threshold is $24,400. If one spouse is younger than 65 and one is older, it's $25,700. And if you're both 65 or older, it's $27,000. (If you're married and filing separately, it's $5 for all ages.)
Heads of household under age 65 who make more than $18,350 will need to file. That jumps to $20,000 if they're above that line.
And qualifying widows and widowers with a dependent child who make over $24,400 need to file if they're under 65 or $25,700 if they're over.
Can I file taxes for free? How do I qualify?
You can! It's called IRS Free File and it's a program that works with brand-name online tax providers, including TurboTax and H&R Block. You'll need to have made $69,000 or less to use the system, which is currently available for the 2020 tax filing season. Once the filing season officially opens, the Free File provider will submit your return to the IRS. Nearly 57 million people have used Free File since it became available in 2003.
When can I expect to get my tax refund from the IRS?
Roughly 90% of refunds are issued within three weeks of the day the return is filed under normal circumstances. That might be delayed given the ongoing crisis. If you're wondering where yours stands (and don't want to bother your tax preparer), the IRS has a website to help you track its progress.
The Where's My Refund? tool lets users check the status of their tax refund, updating the information daily (usually overnight). You'll need to provide your Social Security number as well as the exact amount of your expected refund. The tool's also available on the IRS2Go app.
What's the fastest way to receive my tax refund?
While it's nice to get a big check from the government in your mailbox, signing up for direct deposit can significantly speed up your refund. Money can be split into one, two, or three accounts, including Individual Retirement Accounts, and it's used by 80% of all U.S. taxpayers.
You'll get your refund even sooner if you e-file your taxes in addition to utilizing direct deposit.
When did the IRS start processing returns?
The Internal Revenue Service began processing tax returns for the 2019 tax year on January 27, 2020. Late January and early February are one of two peak times for the IRS, as people with relatively simple tax filings and those expecting big refunds often file as soon as possible. All totaled, over 150 million individual tax returns are expected to be filed this year.
What are the most common errors people make when filing taxes?
Simple mistakes can screw up your tax filing, delaying your refund or sending up a red flag to the IRS.
Here are the nine most common errors, according to tax officials:
Missing or inaccurate Social Security numbers
Misspelled names
Filing status errors
Math mistakes
Errors in figuring tax credits or deductions
Incorrect bank account numbers
Unsigned forms
Electronic filing PIN errors
Filing with an expired Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
What happens if I file my taxes late?
Should you fail to file by the April 15 deadline, you could incur fees and penalties on top of any taxes you might owe. There are a number of different categories, depending on whether you didn't file at all or didn't pay owed taxes. The penalty for filing late is normally 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month a return is late. The failure-to-pay penalty is typically 0.005% of your unpaid taxes per month.
Of course, if you file for an extension, these penalties do not apply.
How can I get an extension for filing my taxes in 2020?
Filing an extension isn't especially hard and can be done either via a Free File provider or by filling out a form on the IRS Website. That will give you until Oct. 15 to file your return.
For an automatic six-month extension, use IRS Form 4868, which will require you to estimate your tax liability, based on the data available to you. (You won't have to make a payment immediately, but you will owe interest on your tax bill.)
Special rules may apply if you're serving in a combat zone or a qualified hazardous duty area or living outside the United States.
Just don't wait until the last minute. In 2018, the online service went offline due, in part, to a flood of traffic.
What are my odds of being audited by the IRS?
Assuming you didn't cheat on your taxes, you're probably in pretty good shape.
The IRS audited roughly 1 out of every 220 individual taxpayers in 2019. Compare that to 1 in 90 the prior decade. That works out to just 0.45% of individual tax returns, versus 0.59% in 2018, when audits hit their lowest figure in 15 years.
The IRS has lost close to one-third of its enforcement staff since 2010.
How can I get a bigger tax refund next year?
Earlier this year, the IRS launched an improved version of its Tax Withholding Estimator calculator. That will help you target a specific refund amount and help you best prepare for it through adjustment withholdings.
It's important to note that income tax withholding is no longer based on your marital status and withholding allowances. Instead, it's now based on your expected filing status and standard deduction. You can also have itemized deductions, the Child Tax Credit and other tax benefits reflected in your withholding.

The company was founded in 2008 and already has 80M users and is also India's fist gaming unicorn.
Google launches a job searching app in India: Google has expanded their jobs app, called Kormo, to the Indian market with the pandemic affecting India's unemployment rate The company first launched the product in Bangladesh 2 years ago and later expanded to Indonesia.
Lightspeed raises a $275M fund for India
Lightspeed India Partners announced that it had closed $275M from LPs for it's third India-specific fund, as the country continues to be an important focus area for the global venture firm.
This fund is notably bigger than their last two funds ($135M in 2015; $175M in 2018). The company has been investing in India for over a decade and has deployed $750M into Indian companies.
The firm is also one of the few Indian firms that has seen a major exit in recent years. Secondary exits from OYO and BYJU's have delivered cash returns of $900M. The only other firms that I can recall that have seen similar/larger exits are Sequoia & Accel.
The company usually invests at the earlier stages of a company's lifecycle (Seed and Series A) but has also made pre-seed bets more recently. I think Lightspeed's biggest advantage is their close relation with the US / global entity, as there have been several companies where Lightspeed's global firm has come into lead growth rounds for existing Lightspeed portfolio companies.
I also talked about this in my piece on venture firms in the Indian ecosystem last week about how firms who can offer multiple "products" to companies will have an edge, and it definitely seems like Lightspeed has an edge on some homegrown firms. And who knows, maybe by Fund 5 Lightspeed might even have an India-specific growth fund along with their venture fund (like Sequoia).

This is the story of the Lake Nyos disaster that took place on 21 August 1986, a limnic eruption in northwestern Cameroon.
The eruption triggered the sudden release of about 100,000–300,000 tons (1.6m tons, according to some sources) of carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas cloud initially rose at nearly 100 kilometers per hour (62 mph) and then, being heavier than air, descended onto nearby villages, displacing all the air and suffocating people and livestock within 25 kilometers (16 mi) of the lake.
A degassing system has since been installed at the lake, with the aim of reducing the concentration of CO2 in deep waters and therefore the risk of further eruptions.
It is not known what triggered the catastrophic outgassing. Most geologists suspect a landslide, but some believe that a small volcanic eruption may have occurred on the bed of the lake. A third possibility is that cool rainwater falling on one side of the lake triggered the overturn. Others still believe there was a small earthquake, but as witnesses did not report feeling any tremors on the morning of the disaster, this hypothesis is unlikely. Whatever the cause, the event resulted in the supersaturated deep water rapidly mixing with the upper layers of the lake, where the reduced pressure allowed the stored CO2 to effervesce out of solution.
It is believed that about 1.2 cubic kilometers (0.29 cu mi) of gas was released. The normally blue waters of the lake turned a deep red after the outgassing, due to iron-rich water from the deep rising to the surface and being oxidized by the air. The level of the lake dropped by about a meter and trees near the lake were knocked down.
Scientists concluded from evidence that a 100 m (330 ft.) column of water and foam formed at the surface of the lake, spawning a wave of at least 25 meters (82 ft.) that swept the shore on one side.
Carbon dioxide, being about 1.5 times as dense as air, caused the cloud to "hug" the ground and move down the valleys, where there were various villages. The mass was about 50 meters (160 ft.) thick, and travelled downward at 20–50 kilometers per hour (12–31 mph). For roughly 23 kilometers (14 mi), the gas cloud was concentrated enough to suffocate many people in their sleep in the villages of Nyos, Kam, Cha, and Subum. About 4,000 inhabitants fled the area, and many of these developed respiratory problems, lesions, and paralysis as a result of the gas cloud.
Following the Lake Nyos disaster, scientists investigated other African lakes to see if a similar phenomenon could happen elsewhere. Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 2,000 times larger than Lake Nyos, was also found to be supersaturated, and geologists found evidence that outgassing events around the lake happened about every thousand years.


A mobile app loyalty program can attract customers and encourage them to keep coming back for more. The most successful loyalty apps engage customers and reward them for continued business.
In the restaurant business, it costs significantly less to keep customers coming back than it costs to acquire new customers. Therefore, it should be a top priority for restaurants to build and sustain customer loyalty by using a mobile app.
Half of smartphone owners regularly use restaurant loyalty rewards apps. And, according to a survey conducted by the National Restaurant Association, building customer loyalty and increasing customer retention through app-based rewards programs is a successful strategy.
Restaurant loyalty apps provide the ideal platform to run multiple marketing strategies and target customers with different priorities. Some consumers use a restaurant app to save money while others prefer the convenience of ordering online.
Furthermore, the millennial generation likes (and expects) to interact personally with restaurants and share those experiences digitally.
Restaurants should build a loyalty app for two reasons: to gather information on customers, and to use that information to provide the best personalized experience for customers.
We discuss these four qualities, and then offer three examples of successful restaurant loyalty rewards apps.
Loyalty apps work because they provide a far more personal experience than old-fashioned programs, like punch cards. Loyalty apps provide data and interaction through the customer's mobile device, which hardly ever leaves their side.
A restaurant's loyalty app needs to provide a great user experience to retain customers. Common features include mobile ordering and payment, and location tracking that finds the nearest restaurant location.
Digitally savvy customers love games. Loyalty apps that offer real financial or personal rewards strengthen relationships with repeat customers and potentially attract new customers.
Prizes for the games can range from discounts to free items to bonus reward points.
Restaurant loyalty apps should offer unique experiences that draw upon customer emotions. Choosing a unique reward that creates a memorable experience can be just as important as saving money for many guests. Tailoring the rewards will provide the best incentive for building customer loyalty.
Finding a balance between attainable and desirable rewards is a challenge for most restaurants when designing loyalty apps. One way to achieve a good balance is to use a tiered system that rewards initial purchases but encourages customers to keep using the app.
Successful loyalty apps give small rewards as a base offering and then encourage repeat usage by increasing the value of the rewards as the customer moves up the tiers of the program. The tiered system allows customers to extract long-term value from the loyalty app program.
A restaurant can ensure continued use of the loyalty app (and more purchases) through regular customer engagement. Send push notifications or emails reminding customers how close they are to earning the next free item or reaching the next tier of the rewards program. These interactions again personalize the experience and encourage repeat app usage.
Your customers may find more value in non-monetary or discounted rewards. Restaurants that can provide value to loyalty app users in ways other than dollars and cents have a unique opportunity to connect with those customers. Loyalty app users may like the opportunity to share with others, especially those who have a special need.
You can reach these customers, and increase their loyalty, by devising a program that supports vulnerable groups. After a certain number of purchases through the loyalty app, a restaurant could donate money or meals to charity. This type of reward gives to those in need which, in turn, earns deserved respect from the community and your loyalty app customers.
One of the best parts of integrating a loyalty mobile app into your restaurant's digital portfolio is the ability to collect mobile app reviews.
After a transaction is completed, you can use the loyalty app to ask a customer to review the experience using a review site like Yelp or Google, or to share information about the experience on social media. You can even offer bonus loyalty reward points as an incentive.
Getting customers to share positive experiences on social media is a great way to boost exposure and improve your public reputation, leading to increased business over time.
You can also use the loyalty app to send push notifications asking customers to provide a review. The notification can even direct them to the ranking and reviews site that matters most to you at the moment.
With loyalty apps being more prevalent these days, there are plenty of models for a restaurant to use as a guide. Here are just a few of the loyalty apps that stand above the rest when it comes to best practices.
With nearly 14 million members in the U.S. alone, the "My Starbucks Rewards" app is an incredible loyalty program example. The app's success is built off of frequent purchases, which makes it easier for Starbucks to implement a tiered reward system.
The Starbucks app offers great incentives for continued use, including free drink and food items, early access to new products, and custom offers based off personal preferences. The tiered program entices customers to keep coming back, offering better incentives the more you use the app. Starbucks also creates a sense of urgency by giving users only 12 months to earn/use "stars" to reach the next tier or stay at the top tier.
Over the past few years, the Papa John's digital and mobile channels have accounted for more than 50% of total U.S. sales. The Papa John's loyalty app certainly helped achieve that milestone.
The Papa Rewards program gives points toward free pizza when a customer orders through the app. Unlike most rewards programs, the pizza chain includes tax and delivery charges as part of the redeemable value as well.
The app helps to track rewards progress using a pizza graph visual, and the app will prompt customers to redeem the points for free pizza.
The DD Perks Rewards Program was launched in 2014 as a way to reward guests with points toward free beverages for every visit they make. The program now touts more than six million members nationwide. The use of the rewards program, and the chain's continued emphasis on digital, appears to be leading to larger ticket sizes.
Dunkin' Donuts instituted a nationwide push to offer mobile ordering capabilities at the chain's donut and coffee shops, a bigger bet on embracing technology as it aims to keep pace with its rival Starbucks.
"On-the-Go Ordering" is now available for all members of the DD Perks Rewards Program, allowing customers to order, pay in advance via a smartphone or other mobile device, and then pick up an order. Orders can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
The Dunkin' Donuts loyalty app has been shown to increase a customer's lifetime value by 30% or more through increased visit frequency and amount spent per visit.
For a restaurant, the goals of a loyalty app program are two-fold: the loyalty app offers customer incentives, and the restaurant is able to gather information about customers in the process. The result is value not only for the guest, but for the restaurant itself.
Loyalty rewards drive many customers to return to a restaurant. Parting with their hard-earned money isn't always easy, but getting rewarded for it lessens the sting.
As restaurants look to gain a competitive advantage, loyalty apps will continue to expand. But restaurants can't expect to launch a loyalty app program and immediately see a revenue increase. Those restaurants that undertake the analysis required to launch such an important project will reap the largest rewards.
The key driver is to not focus on increasing sales in the short-term. Rather, the loyalty app should allow a better understanding of what the ideal customer looks like: when they come in, what they buy, and how much they spend. That data will allow the restaurant to build an app that builds customer loyalty and increases customer retention.

A new €11.96m project will see world-leading universities from Wales and Ireland working together with small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) to develop innovative medical products that could revolutionise how we treat disease.
The unique network, which includes Cardiff University's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and its School of Biosciences, will focus on emerging fields such as precision medicine – a method of diagnosing and treating patients in a way which is specific to them.
Named the Celtic Advanced Life Science Innovation Network (CALIN), and funded through the European Regional Development Fund, the project will allow Wales and Ireland to make key advancements in several medical fields whilst generating new jobs and attracting investment in both nations.
Professor Arwyn Jones from Cardiff University's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, who is leading the Cardiff University group, (with Pharmacy colleagues Jenna Bowen, Mark Gumbleton, James Birchall, and Peter Watson from the School of Biosciences), said: "The CALIN project is a unique opportunity for Wales to accelerate medical innovation in the region and stay at the forefront of emerging fields in the medical sector..."
"By working closely with our counterparts in Ireland, and SME's across the two regions, Welsh universities can help develop innovative products that will improve the health and commercial sectors of both nations."
Professor Arwyn Tomos Jones Professor of Membrane Traffic and Drug Delivery, and Director of Research & Engagement
CALIN is led by Swansea University and includes Bangor University, Cardiff University, University College Dublin, The National University of Ireland Galway, University College Cork, Unilever and GE Healthcare.
The Welsh Government's Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said: "Life science is a key sector in Wales and Ireland and this funding will support research and development, which is vital to the creation of new products, technology and jobs.
"It is excellent news for more than 240 small and medium-sized businesses and I'm delighted that expertise in the participating universities will be shared and used across both our countries."
Irish Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe said: "The Ireland-Wales programme shows how EU funding can contribute to successful cross-border cooperation – in this case across our maritime border with the UK. The CALIN project is an excellent example of how it supports research and development in universities for the benefit of enterprises of all sizes, leading to new jobs and further investment in new technologies.
"This announcement shows funding under the Ireland-Wales programme is going ahead and that programme beneficiaries can plan for the future with confidence. The Irish Government strongly supports the programme and is committed to its successful implementation."
The network will offer research and technology development and innovation support to SMEs in the areas of Precision Medicine (diagnostics, devices & therapeutics), Regenerative Medicine, and Bio-Compatibility & Safety Evaluation.
All R&D activities will include a collaborative partnership between an SME and both an Irish and a Welsh University over a 1-3 year period, depending on the nature of the development programme.
CALIN hopes to engage and assist over 240 enterprises throughout Wales and Ireland and interested SMEs should contact Professor Arwyn Jones.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are the new way to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services in Europe. Thanks to ICTs, we can access personal health information online, benefit from better prevention, early diagnosis and use personalised therapies that enable us to be more independent, rather than going to hospitals or care centres.
In Europe, the introduction of ICT and telemedicine is estimated to increase the efficiency of healthcare systems by 20%. It would also improve the quality of life of patients, who will have the opportunity to become more active and be able to define the best way to delivery of health services.
What is the eHealth and mHealth?
eHealth refers to the transfer of health resources and health care by electronic means while mHealth is a sub-segment of eHealth and covers medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices. It especially includes the use of mobile communication devices for health and well-being services and information purposes as well as mobile health applications.
There are around 97,000 mHealth applications and the number are unstoppably increasing. However, this explosion of eHealth solutions needs to be regulated so that technology can benefit patients, ensuring they are protected and safe while using it.

Q: Protractor: How I can extend protractor library? I want extend the standard protractors methods and create my own library (or something like that), where I can define my own methods and after that using them in testing.
For example: create method by.MyAttribute('attributeName') and use it as global method.
Maybe somebody know how can I do this?

A: To make something globally available in protractor, use global inside onPrepare():
onPrepare: function () {
    global.myvariable = "Hello, world!";
},

You should though use global variables wisely - they can pollute namespaces and make your code harder to debug. Alternatively, use require() to import your library into the scope of a test.

Note that, if you are writing your own locators, you should use by.addLocator(), see:
