Home/San Antonio Spurs Draft
2022 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: New Names Enter the Top 30
By Roberto Araiza

. 5. . Purdue. . Jaden Ivey. player. 100
With the fifth pick in the draft, the Indiana Pacers select Purdue sophomore Jaden Ivey.
Ivey is a bit difficult for me to gauge overall, but nevertheless, he's without a doubt the most electric player in college basketball this season and popped off the screen whenever I've had the chance to watch him. He has an eye-popping first step and elite acceleration in general. His absurd twitch athleticism has garnered him comparisons to Ja Morant and Russell Westbrook, perhaps unfairly.
Normally, I would be far more skeptical of a prospect that is having a great shooting year after a relatively poor shooting season in his first year, but his shooting numbers from high school make his efficiency much more convincing.
I think Ivey heading to Indianapolis would be a match made in heaven—he would have an opportunity to return to his home state, where his mother played for the Indiana Fever, and he'd have the opportunity to play next to Tyrese Haliburton. All of a sudden, the Pacers would find themselves having a dynamic, two-way backcourt with plenty of shooting and athleticism to make them feel better about experimenting with the rest of the roster.
Ivey is still very much in the conversation for a top-three pick, so if he were to fall in the Pacers' laps at 5th overall, I'd find it incredibly difficult to believe that they would opt for another player given what he offers, even after a disappointing performance against St. Peter's.

REVIEW: "MARRIAGE STORY" (2019) Netflix
As with some of Bambach other films, "MARRIAGE STORY" is long on talk and short on cinema. While most are at least a good watch, this one tricks you into thinking you're getting a marriage story for the first five minutes, but it's got a little trick up it's sleeve and you soon find out that what you almost fell for, is nothing of the sort. With its sorta jokey NY/LA rivalry theme, and in certain LA frames giving us the "Annie Hall" feels, (along with other films in the same vein appear to be evoked here) but the mere mention of these kinds films only highlights the weakness of this one.
There is however, some passing enjoyment to be had. Laura Dern turns in a stellar performance as Nora Fanshaw, a vicious divorce lawyer camouflaged in California nuances, and there are some fine cameos from Ray Liotta as Jay, opposing lawyer to Dern's character. Alan Alda also steps in as Bert Spitz, and is probably the best bit of comedy the film is given, though we are also given a true moment of sadness when you can't help but notice the wonderful Mr. Alda's tremors/shaking during this performance. The wonderful Wallace Shawn, Merritt Weaver as Nicole's sister Cassie, her mother Sandra (Julie Haggerty) are fun as well. On the other hand, our two leads: Nicole & Charlie (Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver respectively), are as bland and uninteresting to watch as is paint drying. With such a lack of chemistry the film soon grinds to a plod and therein leaves us with absolutely no feeling towards them – no matter how much they talk about it, it's hard to fathom that they have any kind of shared history (even their son, used as a bargaining chip throughout the messy divorce, has about as much appeal as a potato).
During one particularly lengthy argument, which was right on the level with that of a Real Housewives scenario and about as well acted as such, Johannson tries, but can't strike a spark from herself nor her co-star, the dead-eyed and apparently sedated Driver. I'll admit, his appeal escapes me, but he can sing — as at one point he inexplicably gets to sing an entire number from "Company" at a piano bar, and pulls it off admirably well. But Baumbach remains firmly within his context setting of affluent, if not wealthy, Brooklyn and L.A. showbiz people and their neuroses. It's all very narcissistic and more than a little contrived — as it could be said, this is more theatre, with its elaborate, paced plotting intended as build-up to the leads' Big Scene, which then leaves us no great effect.
In fact, Bambauch makes an unforced error in a courtroom scene where, for the first time, ordinary and everyday people are seen waiting their turn before a judge, who makes a welcome comment to the effect that he is adjourning the case around which the film revolves as there are plenty of people with far fewer resources awaiting their turn. Indeed. And so the inevitable question arises: why should we care about these particular privileged and bougie politically and socially dull people, as they go through the predictable phases in the break-up of a marriage the reality of which was never very convincing to begin with? Well that's for someone else to figure out. The sheer fact that they list this as a 'comedy' is truly baffling as our leads provide none of it and if it weren't for some great supporting roles here, this film would be a complete sham. It also should really be titled 'Divorce Story' as the 'Marriage Story' title invokes a much happier tune than what is given.
This movie is no joy ride and I tend to say that it should have been 30min shorter. Especially the musical scenes in the end felt like "to much". Sure, I get it, it's a reference to the Broadway theme, but it just felt out of place. Maybe this movie is a bit to long by design, to make you feel the dread and despair as a divorce, especially when it gets so dirty, is a process that goes on for much longer than you think it should. They gave us a cute little package of tissues upon entry of the film and I thought I would be using them in an emotional tense, instead the only tears to be shed were the ones of wanting the movie to just end.
In the end, this film is overlong, over shouty and brings absolutely nothing new to the table. I think I'll watch "Annie Hall" again, thanks.

REVIEW: "HAIL, CAESAR!" (2016) – Universal Pictures
All Hail Caesar!!!
This Coen Brothers satire of old school Hollywood is a perfectly done mix of what our imagination might conjure up of what the Aqua-musicals or dance sequence films from the 'Golden Age of Hollywood' could be if they were done today.
The film centers around physical production/studio head Eddie Mannix, played by Josh Brolin. Mannix is a fixer at the fictitious Capital Pictures in the 1950's. This involves him dealing with numerous egos, including their box-office superstar Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) and Aqua~movie starlet, DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johannson). Not long after the film begins, Whitlock is kidnapped and Mannix begins his quest to get him back with some surprising help along the way from young western actor, Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich).
With a top notch billed cast, you do tend to notice that some of the names receiving top billing, are only in it for short pieces of time or literally there for only a 'blink-and you missed it' moment – as such is the case with Jonah Hill's character Joseph Silverman. Besides that odd glitching, all the supporting cast as a whole are just plain good and you don't get a bad performance from anyone as even the normally so wooden Scarlett Johannson plays her small part well and unannoying. Aside from the names mentioned, you'll also see Ralph Fiennes being spot on as director Laurence Laurentz, Tilda Swinton doing hysterical double time as bickering twin gossip columnist sisters, Thora & Thessaly Thacker. Channing Tatum for whom I must say, I love where he is taking his career with roles like this, truly dazzles with his singing and dancing number that is so beautifully done it makes you not only yearn for those times of past, but want them back if he keeps doing this.
Brolin is fantastic in the lead role and turns what could be a very unlikable character into a very endearing and sympathetic one. The real find among the cast is Ehrenreich. The character of Hobie Doyle is simple enough but Ehrenreich manages to turn him into one of the more amusing and interesting characters you'll find in this film.
All in all I truly enjoyed the film as a whole and I'm guessing all Coen Bros. fans will thoroughly enjoy it. However as a second note, my guest didn't like it as much and he made a good point. That he didn't 'get' all the innuendos of some of it and said the general public as a whole might not either as it might have that 'going over their heads' problem.
For me, I highly recommend this Golden-Age romp through the glory days of Hollywood..

Sharing with Writers and Readers: Dull Old Subject Lines? Would Farting Help?
Dull Old Subject Lines? Would Farting Help?
How Are Your Subject Lines Doing?
"Shameless self-promotion" implies there is something to be ashamed of and that doesn't exactly encourage his audience to open it. I doubt even his mother opens it.
It gives no indication of what the receiver might find within the e-mail, much less how one might benefit from the information therein.
There is no variety, no reason to be tempted to see what's happening in that author's life this week than there was the last time we opened the mail, which was maybe a year ago.
Though sometimes repetition in marketing is a good thing, this feels just plain lazy.
You can learn a little more about subject lines by reading up on pitches and titles in your copy of The Frugal Book Promoter. Many of the basics are the same. Be sure to also look up "e-mail" in the index for more ways to make your e-mail dispatches count.
PS: "New Blog Post" doesn't cut it either.
"'New blog post' doesn't cut it either." Love that! Yes, so many people don't give you a reason to look at the post or email, while others cram too much information into their posts.
LOL. Sometimes we can't control what alert services, etc. use, but we sure can control the subjet lines we use in our e-mails, Joy! And maybe Taylor Swift could get by with "Blog Post," but even she would do well to add her name. Ha!


I was asked recently by a follower for a basic lesson on how I forage for edible weeds. And to that I'll say.. not very proficiently. I am no professional and I don't do it enough to be called a 'forager'. One day of course. But I've definitely foraged and eaten off the land, not nearly as much as I could however. At our previous property purslane and lambs quarter abounded and isn't bad sautéed in butter.
By true definition a weed is only 'a plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth.' Thank you Merriam-Webster for driving home my point.
Edible Wild Food. They're website lists tons of info on edible plants, flowers, and fungi.
Grow Forage Cook Ferment. This is where most my inspiration comes from whether it be foraging for eating or homemade body care products.
Forage and Harvest. They provide email dosages to keep you to date on info and provide all the info you need to reconnect with nature safely.
Start in your own yard/property or near by areas first. Check out your surrounds and see what's available. You'd be suprised what growing right under your nose.
Check with your local Forest Service or community groups. Your local station may have printouts or advice to offer. Lots of outdoor hiking, foraging, gardening, homesteading groups have oodles of hands on experience to help you out. Im sure you can find one whether that be through Facebook or your city/county.
Ask tons of questions. If you know anyone who has or does forage. Pick they're brain! Ask they to take you out foraging sometime.
I'm sure there are many more around but that's what I seem to see the most of around our property. And up in the foothills this time of year there are thousands for morel mushrooms.
Ask for a second opinion if you're not sure. If you kinda think that might be the right and plant but you're not sure.. don't eat it! Get someone to confirm for you before ingesting.
Don't spray the edible weeds! Save your money the noxious weeds and let the edibles grow.. even if it's in your yard 😉 Yes they may not grow exaclty where you chose, but edible weeds have a reason and purpose just as much as a lawn of grass or a garden of vegetables.
Got any chickens or rabbits? They love to eat weeds to even if you won't.
There you have it! I'm sure there's much more to be learned. And as I learn I'll blog it all.
On the left olive oil, on the right grapeseed; both currently infusing.
Right now I'm working on infusing olive and grape seed oils with dried dandelion buds so I can then make dandelion lotion bars. Post on that soon to come! Check out The Nerdy Farm Wife for all sorts of dandelion DIYs!

During the year that has just reached its conclusion (2017) I had come to think that I would not need Marshall McLuhan in my priority reading. He seems to have become, in the world of media studies, old-fashioned. It feels that the sound of "technological determinism" is rather sickening for many critical thinkers in humanities because the image of technology is full of neoliberal spectacle and its ghosts of exploitation.


ELNORA, Alberta -- Ty Pozzobon earned his third PBR Canada event win of 2016 on Saturday night under the lights at the 18th Elnora Brahma Rama.
Pozzobon put together scores of 84 on a I Work Out from Vold/Prescott and a big 88 on Shakin' Hands from Eno Bucking Bulls in the final round to edge out Saskatchewan bull rider Cody Coverchuk by 2.5 points. For his work on three bulls on the night, the Merritt, BC man earned added $3,591 to his season earnings which now top $24,000.
In his past five events, Pozzobon has been first on Day two of the Ranchman's Bullbustin' in Calgary; third on the third day in Calgary; first in Innisfail, AB; third in North Battleford, SK and first last night in Elnora. Not bad for a six week span.
To this point, Ty leads second place Dakota Buttar by over 500 points, in third place in Canada is Coverchuk. Buttar was bucked off Rocket from the Young Money Cattle Company on Saturday night.
Coverchuk's success was on the back of Yellow Moon from the X6 Ranch for an 83.5 and Whiskey Throttle from Eno Bucking Bulls in the final round for an 86. He earned over $2,400 for his work and now ranks 48th on the planet, 165 points back of 35th. Pozzobon is 40th, a mere 80 points back of 35th spot which is held onto by Stormy Wing. Buttar is 44th, only 40 world point behind Pozzobon.
To put things into a closer perspective, 60 points are available on Wednesday night in Coronation while 80 are up for grabs in Ottawa's Saturday night kick off to the PBR Monster Energy Canada Tour.
Aussie Justin Paton took third on the evening in Elnora after getting a re-ride when the lights went out on his out against Heaven's Basement from the Vold/Prescott crew. Jared Parsonage was fourth thanks for his long round ride on Shake a Paw, also from Vold/Prescott. Lachlan Richardson and Dakota Louis split fifth.
The following are the results from the 18th Annual Elnora Brahma Rama on August 13th, 2016.
Round one: 1. Jared Parsonage on Vold/Prescott's -205 Shake a Paw, 85 points, $663.00; 2. (tie) Lachlan Richardson and Dakota Louis, 84.5, $414.37 each; 4. Ty Pozzobon, 84, $165.75; 5. Cody Coverchuk, 83.5; 6. (tie) Justin Paton and Tyler Harr, 82.
Finals: 1. Ty Pozzobon on Eno Bucking Bulls' 107 Shakin' Hands, 88 points, $663.00; 2. (tie) Cody Coverchuk and Justin Paton, 86, $414.37 each; no other qualified rides.
Aggregate, total money and points earned: 1. Ty Pozzobon - Merritt, BC - 172 points on two bulls, $3,591.25, 60; 2. Cody Coverchuk - Meadow Lake, SK - 169.5, $2,403.37, 30; 3. Justin Paton - Nebo, QLD - 168, $1,629.87, 20; 4. Jared Parsonage - Maple Creek, SK - 85 points on one bull, $1,436.50, 15; 5. (tie) Dakota Louis - Browning, MT and Lachlan Richardson - Gresford, NSW - 84.5, $801.12, 7.5 points each; 7. Justin Paton and Tyler Harr - Hazen, AR - 82, $193.37.
Next up on the 2016 PBR Canada Schedule is the Coronation, AB Royal Rumbull PBR on August 17th and the kick off to the PBR Monster Energy Canada Tour in Ottawa, ON on August 20th.
PBR (Professional Bull Riders) which has events in six countries and is available in 500 million homes globally, has competed in Canada since 1996. The PBR Monster Energy Canada Series will debut in August 2016 as the country's first fully televised national professional bull riding series. Points earned at the Tour's 16 Canadian events count towards qualification to the elite PBR Canadian Finals in Edmonton, AB at Rogers Place. Upon the conclusion of the Finals, the bull rider with the most regular season and Finals points is crowned the PBR Canada Champion. Points won at all Canadian events count toward qualifying on the prestigious PBR Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) and PBR World Finals in Las Vegas, NV.

So we have been shopping at the Shops At Wailea since the place was built. Over the years we have spent thousands of dollars at this place. We frequently bring our out of town guests here to eat, as well as to shop. I never had to pay for parking here before. After a 3 hour visit here with my family, the machine said it would cost $18.00. Wow! Really??? I did a poll with several of the stores we stopped in today and some would validate with a $35 minimum purchase (and would only give you an hour validation), and others wouldn't validate with any amount (even at a designer clothing store). The Coffee Bean and Tea has been a frequent stop of ours during the week, but now no longer because they aren't able to validate (at no fault of their own). This simply isn't right and is a prime example of the greed many of the Maui businesses have. I just don't agree with the principle of this whole concept of having to pay to park at a local shopping mall. Guess they won't be getting much of my business in the future, even though I'm sure I would spend enough to sometimes get a validation, and could even afford to pay the price to park. But I simply do not agree with their greedy concept of trying to gouge more money out of our tourist that visit our beautiful island, as well as for Maui residents. Wow.

G. Love to play 'Concert in the Kitchen' at Saturday's International Beer Fest
By Jeff Niesel on Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 10:29 am
While laid-back blues/hip-hop singer-songwriter G. Love says 2013 hasn't been as busy as most years, he's had a full schedule ever since his winter tour came through Cleveland in January. Love, who plays a special "Concert in the Kitchen" show at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday as part of the International Beer Fest Grand Tasting Session at the I-X Center, recently phoned in from Los Angeles; he had just returned from playing a few shows in Fiji where he had some time to hit the waves and surf alongside champion surfer Kelly Slater. "There was a big swell and I was out surfing with these great surfers from all around the world who had come out for it," he says. "I tested my limits on that trip. I had to recognize that I'm not a pro surfer. I'm a pro musician."
You played here earlier this year, what have you been up to since then?
It's been a great year. We're perpetually on the road. This past year we were two years out from the last record. We're just mixing the new record right now. We've been working on that. We worked on it in May for a couple of weeks and we did another session this October and we did this session in May with Ryan Hadlock who produced the Lumineers album this past year, and we did one more session with Robert Carranza at the Brushfire studios. We lit it on fire at that session. That's been a big focus this year. We toured throughout the year as well and these are always fun years because you're not out promoting a certain batch of songs, and you can mix it up and try a lot of new stuff and play a lot of old stuff. I like those kind of years even though they're not as busy as a record release year. You're under the radar a little bit.
Do you write songs on the road?
I do. I write wherever I go. I'm always writing down ideas. When you're on the road, you can write with the band. You stumble on a riff during soundcheck or during the show and you can explore that and flesh it out a bit. That's always pretty cool. You have to get home and get your feet on the ground and take it from there and put it all together and see if you have something good.
Bob Dylan once said he couldn't stand the sound of his own voice. You have a similar vocal delivery. Do you feel the same way about your voice?
Yeah, I think it's something a lot of people struggle with. Your guitar is like a third party. You can pull off good guitar licks and get a good tone going. It's easy to feel good about. Your voice is something to feel self critical about. It's the hardest instrument to maintain on the road and a hard instrument to learn. That can be a struggle at times. This record was cool because what I like to do and I think I've have the most success at is do everything live. I'm not a great singer. I kind of do the rapping blues. I can sing, but I'm not great. Actually, I have been taking vocal lessons the last five years, mostly to learn how to protect my instrument night in and night out. I had a vocal surgery in 2008 that shut me down for a good half of the year. Especially, the last recording that was five days of cutting sessions and Dave Hidalgo from Los Lobos and Money Mark from the Beastie Boys played on a track. We got loose and lit it up. All the vocals were live so it's real.
Who's your favorite rapper?
I mean, the one that popped into my head was Q-Tip or Guru. Rakim and KRS-One are probably my biggest influences.
Talk about how growing up in Philadelphia influenced your music.
I think mostly growing up in Philly influenced me because it's such a melting pot. It's a melting pot like New York is but it's a smaller city and everything is right there. You'll have the Italian neighborhood and then black and Latino and Irish and polish. Those lines have become more blurred as the years go by. When I was growing up, it was more clear-cut. That being said, I grew up in the city and you'd see all walks of life and all different types of people expressing themselves. There's a lot of street musicians. That influenced me. Everything from Big Al who used to play the spoons on the milk crate to full on drum circles and puppeteers. There was lots of energy in the '70s and '80s. I became a street musician and that's where I cut my teeth. The other side of it is that Philly had a big blues and folk scene. You had the Philadelphia Folk Fest. I got exposed to bluegrass and folk music and delta blues. At the same time, Philly was one of the epicenters of hip-hop. There was a late night radio show called Lady B's "Street Beat." That's where we got exposed to hip-hop.
You're playing a food and beer festival here. Do you have a favorite cold beverage?
Well, lemonade is my favorite, but I'll drink anything if you put it in front of me. I love a good craft beer. This past year, I did a collaboration with New Belgium and we put out the Peach Porch Lounger. That was fun going out to the brewery and sampling lots of stuff and we sampled like 20 different beers. We wanted to make a beer that represents the music so we put malted biscuit powder and molasses and peach extract in it and it was really something. I'm psyched to play a food show because we're releasing our hot sauces and we teamed up with a company from Kansas City and we're releasing three hot sauces. I'm a real foodie, and I'm happy to be there. It goes along with the music. All the hot sauce recipes are based around my musical travels.
G. Love,
I-X Center,

Nairobi, 18 May (ENI)–Allegations by Kenyan churches that the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is funding the government-backed "yes" campaign for a constitutional referendum in the East African country are being raised by American lawmakers.
In a letter to inspectors general of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the U.S. Government Accountability Office, legislators Chris Smith of New Jersey, Darrell Issa of California and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida have outlined their concerns.
The three U.S. legislators are calling for a probe into the issue, Kenya's Star daily newspaper reported on 16 May. The report follows two week of allegations by Kenya's churches, which are advocating a "no" vote in the referendum scheduled for 4 August.

Zamboanga City Integrated Bus Terminal
January 2, 2020 8:40 am / Leave a comment
I open the year by sharing photos of the Zamboanga City Bus Terminal. It is a 'central' terminal as most most buses terminate here and cannot proceed to the city center. At the terminal, passengers may transfer between buses, jeepneys and vans.
View of the terminal from the national highway. There are driveways leading to and from the terminal from the highway and one can appreciate the expanse between the facility and the main access road.
There are covered walks connecting the terminal to the national road.
Provincial buses and long-distance vans at the terminal

Jeepneys at the terminal
Motorcycles parked along a shaded area. The lamp's vintage design seems to be a good accent to the terminal.
Close-up showing the spacious parking area shared by cars, jeepneys, motorcycles and even tricycles
Another look at the covered walkways leading to the national highway. Not all public transport go to the terminal because of the fees and the distance for the diversion from the highway.
Jeepneys waiting to be filled with passengers prior to departure
A look at the front of the terminal shows a wide driveway and the connection of the covered walkway to the main entrance
Another look at the integrated terminal from the highway
We will be evaluating the terminal soon as part of a study we are doing for the city. More photos and some assessments about its features soon!
New public utility vehicles in Cebu
July 16, 2019 2:02 pm / Leave a comment
There have been a lot of new models of vehicles serving as public transport in Metro Manila. It came as no surprise that we found similar vehicles (e.g., Beep or modern jeepneys as some people refer to them) as well as buses in a city that was supposed to have had the first operational Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line in the country. Sadly, the Cebu BRT has not been constructed and now national government agencies and the local government is mulling a light rail transit system instead. Here are some photos of the Beep vehicles operating in Cebu as well as a couple of bus services.
Beep mini-bus beside an old jitney – the vehicle sizes are comparable but the Beep capacity is larger. The Beep is also air-conditioned and features a layout similar to buses.
Free shuttle bus service provided by Robinsons Malls
Beep serving the City Hall – IT Park route
MyBus depot at the SM City Cebu North Reclamation Area – these are currently plying the route connecting SM City Cebu with SM Seaside. The route is actually one that was considered for a pilot Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line – supposedly the first one in the Philippines – that did not come into reality.
Public transport coverage in Metro Manila
I saw several posts circulating on social media about public transport routes in major cities that included stylised maps presented like the transit maps you usually see for cities like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore. These show what the makers identify as the equivalent of stops or stations along the public transport "lines". These, of course, are a simplification because what appears as a single line may actually be comprised of several. Also, the overlaps seem to be also quite simplified compared to what may be found in reality. This post will not attempt to show how complicated road public transport is for Metro Manila. Instead, I am sharing the maps prepared from a previous study we conducted for the then DOTC (ca. 2012) that show the coverage of three road public transport modes: buses, jeepneys and UV Express.
PUB coverage for Mega Manila with distinction of EDSA and non-EDSA routes (2012)
Jeepney route coverage for Mega Manila (2012)
UV Express route coverage for Mega Manila (2012)
I hope these maps have already been updated or are going to be updated in order for us to have good visual references for public transport planning including the identification of locations for integrated terminals as well as connections with rail transit.
More irrational public transport?
I spotted a new vehicle serving a new route between Cogeo in Antipolo and SM Aura in Taguig. I see these vehicles along Marcos Highway from Masinag to Santolan. Friends have spotted the same along C-5 at Eastwood and at Tiendesitas; confirming the route this mash-up between the jeepney and bus is running along. The route overlaps with existing public transport lines along Marcos Highway (mostly jeepneys connecting the eastern cities and towns with Cubao) including the elevated Line 2.
Jitney running along Marcos Highway in Antipolo (section between Masinag and Cogeo)
The jeepney has a sign stating it is a DOTr project. So is this an experimental run to determine the viability of the route in place of the traditional approach using what was termed as RMC (Route Measured Capacity)? I am not aware of any other ways by which the DOTr or the LTFRB are able to estimate the number and type of public utility vehicles to serve certain routes. There are, however, initiatives to open what they call "missionary routes" but this term used to refer to really new and unserved (referring to formal public transport) corridors or areas rather than those that are already being served by several modes of public transport. The results of this interpretation of "missionary routes" are more overlapping routes that further complicate and undermine efforts for rationalising or simplifying public transport services in the Metro Manila and other cities as well.
I will soon post here three maps showing the public transport route coverage for Metro Manila more than half a decade ago. These show the coverage of buses, jeepneys, and UV express services at the time. I now wonder how these would look like with the new routes overlayed unto the maps.
Airport access by bus at NAIA Terminal 3
The recent trip also afforded me some quick photos of the arrival level driveway of NAIA Terminal 3. Here are some photos including those of airport taxis and buses serving the terminal and its passengers.
The arrival level (ground level) driveway is not very crowded at 5:30 AM.
From Bay 11 there are taxis and express (e.g., P2P) buses waiting for their passengers. There are booths on the terminal side for those making inquiries or booking their rides. That's the Runway Manila pedestrian bridge connecting Terminal 3 to the Resorts World Manila complex at the top part of the photo.
Airport P2P buses include those headed for Clark.
On good transit stop designs
October 19, 2018 10:01 am / 1 Comment on On good transit stop designs
We interrupt our regular programming to share this good reference for designing bus stops:
Transit Center (2018) From Sorry to Superb Everything You Need to Know about Great Bus Stops, transitcenter.org, http://transitcenter.org/publications/sorry-to-superb/#introduction [October 2018]
This is a new publication and though the focus is on bus stops, the principles and guides presented are very much adaptable and applicable to other public transport modes as well, particularly the road-based modes we have in the Philippines. The article contains a link for those who want to download the entire report.
More high capacity transit for Antipolo!
Two years ago, I wrote about Antipolo being ripe for high capacity public transportation. So far, work is progressing along the Line 2 Extension to Masinag but there's no word about it being extended further (Cogeo? Marikina?). I have always maintained that the demand in Cogeo, Antipolo is already established and a mass transit line terminating there will certainly be a game changer in terms of commuting. In fact, it may contribute to rapidly developing that area and hasten the development of Antipolo's government centre, which is a few kilometres further along Marcos Highway.
Schedule and fares for the P2P bus service between Robinsons Place Antipolo and Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas Center.
There is now a P2P bus service between Robinsons Place Antipolo and Robinsons Galleria via Ortigas Avenue. And then there is the newest P2P service between SM Masinag and the Makati CBD. The first has very limited capacity at present and have few patrons (regular passengers) based on what I've observed and the rough survey my students did for a class project. I still have to see the second one from SM Masinag but I assume it has a higher demand considering a lot of people already commute from that area to Makati. I say so because there's a nearby UV Express terminal that's always crowded with people every time I pass by in the morning. This should also translate into demand for the afternoon/evening period. However, I am not so optimistic about the off-peak periods (I hope I'm wrong!) as most P2P services my students have surveyed so far indicate really low occupancies during the off-peak periods.
Is P2P the way to go for Antipolo (and its neighbouring towns like Cainta, Taytay and Marikina)? I think this is still basically a stop-gap measure and a mass transit line as well as complementing conventional buses would still be the most suitable for these rapidly and steadily growing areas. Ortigas Avenue is ripe for a high capacity system that should perhaps be grade separated. The demand was there more than two decades ago. I seriously believe that the Province of Rizal, the City of Antipolo and the high-earning Municipalities of Cainta and Taytay should exert more effort and lobby for a mass transit line serving the Ortigas corridor.

Moviegoer Accuses Regal Cinema of Racial Profiling at 'The Butler' Showing
Lee Daniels' latest film, The Butler starring Forrest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey cleaned up at the box office this weekend, making $25 million and thus earning the number one spot.
However, the movie's success isn't the only reason why the movie is making headlines today.
Moviegoers in Silver Spring, MD reported a heavy police presence in the theater where The Butler was screened:
A woman who attended a Saturday showing of Lee Daniels' The Butler at a Regal Cinema in Silver Spring, Md. says she and other patrons faced a police presence as they watched the film. While Regal said in a statement this is something "routinely" employed for sold out showings, Tiffany Flowers says she felt racially profiled.
Flowers took to Twitter to show her "utter disgust" for the theater, explaining that her ticket was doubled verified and that patrons were met by armed police officers.
"As soon as we enter the theater we were greeted by an actual police officer who herded traffic in one direction," Flowers tweeted. "The almost entirely black audience of #TheButler was subjected to watching the film while armed guards faced the audience. Why?"
Read more at DCist.
In response, Regal Entertainment Group claims that it routinely hires security for sold out screenings.
Do you think this is a case of racial profiling?
Did you see The Butler this weekend and experience anything like this?

Q: Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web: Creating Service Reference to WCF Data Service 5.0.0.0 Causes Custom Tool Error At least in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web, when creating a Service Reference to a WCF Data Services 5.0.0.0 service with truly RESTful URL (routed properly without the .svc URI or file):

*

*You need to add /$metadata to the service URL to get the metadata

*There is an error after downloading/creating the .edmx and .datasvcmap that "Cannot find custom tool 'DataServicesCoreClientGenerator' on this system."

*When trying to delete the incomplete Service Reference, an error occurs: "The .svcmap file cannot be found. It may have been moved or deleted. To generate a new .svcmap file, delete the service reference and add it again.". First, I DID just try to delete it, and B, it looks like there is a .datasvcmap file there, not a .svcmap.
Am I missing some tool, or a link to the datasvcutil.exe in VS 2012 Express?

A: I resolved issues two and three by installing WCF Data Services 5.3.0 RTM Tools.
Hope this helps.

First Look: Burning Kabaddi
theshillito / April 5, 2021
Alternative title: Shakunetsu Kabaddi
Manga Adaptation by TMS Entertainment
Streaming on Crunchyroll
Yoigoshi Tatsuya used to be a big football (soccer) player, but he's had enough and, when entering high school, became a livestreamer and shunned all sports. Members of various sports teams from the school beg for him to join, but he refused them all until, one day, he met the members of the kabaddi team.
Peter's verdict: Is this Aikatsu?
So, hands up, how many of you know what kabaddi is? Not just "it's a sport invented in India where you chant the name of the sport", actually how it works? Yeah, I really didn't know before seeing this show, and they did a good job of making me feel a lot more knowledgeable about it by the end of episode 1, but I'm getting ahead of myself here.
I don't have a great history with sports anime, or sports in real life for that matter, so having the opening of this show have our main protagonist Yoigoshi Tatsuya want to "get away from all sports" is a fun thing, but I feel like it's a pretty common start to a sports anime, if a bit more extreme to extend to "all sports" rather than a single sport in question. Since he's singled out as a star player, the other teammates talk about him behind his back, and he has to deal with getting yelled at by coaches who get mad at the slightest mistake, etc. So he becomes a livestreamer, as you do, sporting your standard mask to keep anonymous while on the Internet.
F O R E S H A D O W I N G
He's then essentially kidnapped by the kabaddi team and blackmailed into trying it out or his livestreaming identity will be exposed, which seems like another typical sports anime move. Finally, in the most sports anime bit of them all, has a bet where if he loses a match, he has to join the team.
Now, it might sound like I'm being a bit harsh on it for doing very typical sports anime stuff. Well, it's actually kinda the opposite, it's actually playing it safe and that's probably a good thing. If you've got a football anime or a volleyball anime, you've got a sport that's big and everyone knows. When you've got a kabaddi show, you've got to get past it being known as a bit of a joke, which does come up briefly but is shot down immediately by one of the team members. Starting off fairly safe with a tried and tested premise to get someone into the sport who wasn't interested before, is actually a pretty smart move. They can start trying new things in later episodes. Whether they actually do or not is another question.
Since it's introducing a sport that many don't know or understand, they do a good job of explaining how kabaddi works, and that might also explain how the first episode felt quite slow at times since each new thing came with an explanation. It's really best if you watch it or read up about it yourself, but in short, it's like a game of tag/tick/tig/it (delete as appropriate depending on what you know it as) but on a rectangular court and you have to escape back to your side after touching someone on the other side of the court, but all while chanting "kabaddi" to prove that you did it in a single breath. People can tackle the attacker like in rugby or American football after they've been touched, and you get a point for your team if you stop the attacker, or if the attacker escapes back to their side, they get the point.
Kakihara Yuuko is writing the scripts for this show, who I know mostly from writing episodes for the various Aikatsu! franchise shows, so I have my hopes high for some decent episodes to come. Rather than being about a brand new idol starting off on a journey to become the best, it's about a pre-existing sportsman starting something new (and probably on a journey to become the best). I quite relate to that myself as I've recently quit my job to try and find a new path in life, though that path is very unlikely to be in kabaddi. Maybe one day.
To sum everything up, I think episode one was decent enough to make me want to continue watching, and there's a few subtle things that I'm curious how they'll handle, such as how kabaddi is not a mixed gender sport, but one of the characters in the opening appears to be a woman, so how will they contribute to this otherwise all-male show? I also want to say that I really appreciate that the opening theme has a rhythm that matches the chant of "kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi" throughout, culminating in it actually being spoken at the end.
A couple of final notes worth knowing:
– This anime is the only anime to have ever been made about a sport from the Indian subcontinent, but unfortunately it isn't available to stream legally there at the time of writing.
– Kabaddi is known to be in two disciplines: standard (rectangular court, indoors) and punjabi (circular pitch, outdoors). This anime deals with standard, though I could see them trying out Punjabi style at some point to add a bit of variety.
Zigg's verdict: Meat & Potatoes
The choice of kabbadi as the sport to portray here is a little quirky and out of left field and I like that. It's a good job too, since otherwise this looks to be a 100% boilerplate shonen sports story, complete with all the clichés of the genre. So we've got the main character who hates sports but is inexplicably good at them regardless, the team of quirky weirdos who already passionately love the game, and the arm-twisting tactics required to make our protagonist try out and discover that actually he's a born natural. That sounds a little harsh, and truth is Burning Kabaddi is one of the better takes on the formula I've seen recently. Still, unless you're already a big fan of that formula, or are invested in the sport of kabaddi, this one might be a bit of a tough sell.
Euri's verdict: Breathtaking. Also, the anime seems fine.
I've watched a few kabaddi videos in the past thanks to falling down some YouTube holes, and it's absolutely a sport that lends itself well to the shonen formula. As has been said before me, Burning Kabaddi uses a tried and true sports-shonen formula to set up its initial cast and explaining the sport, but it's tried and true for a reason. While episode one was absolutely fine, it'll be down to the next few episodes to give us some reasons to root for our abrasive protagonist and his undoubtedly eccentric teammates. I'm also very curious whether this is a show that'll throw in special powers or not – the opening has a shot that shows it could head that way, but it may also reside in the Haikyuu!! realm of 'unlikely but technically possible' athletic ability.

One thought on "First Look: Burning Kabaddi"
IndiaNetzone says:
Kabaddi in India is counted among the most common and widely played traditional sports. There is a popular belief that Kabaddi originated in the Indian state ofTamil Nadu, almost 4,000 years ago. According to a legend, this game came into existence, when a boy hit another boy for his candy. The boy who was hit chased the boy who hit him, and hit him back and ran away. The feature of holding the breath while chasing, was added later when the game evolved. Kabaddi is the game, where one person play against seven people. Kabaddi is also known as the "Game of the Masses" and it has simple, easy to comprehend rules.

"The book is not about Donald Trump. It's about the environment that led to Trump. Satisfied countries aren't going to vote Donald Trump into the White House."
Tucker Carlson says he traveled the country covering the 2016 presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and found enough material to write a book.
The Fox News political commentator's new book, "Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution," published Tuesday and is likely headed to the New York Times best-seller list based on early sales at amazon.com.
Carlson — a frequent visitor to Southwest Florida — will sign copies of the book Friday at the Costco in North Naples.
"The premise of the book is really simple: Why did Trump get elected?" Carlson said Monday in a telephone interview.
"Satisfied countries aren't going to vote Donald Trump into the White House. There has to be something profound going on for that to happen."
Those who think the book will bash only Bill and Hillary Clinton and other Democrats will be disappointed, as it takes aim at both sides of the aisle, Carlson noted. The cover features a caricature of Carlson's "fools" in a ship about to head over a waterfall.
Those on the ship are the Clintons, Democrats Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, neoconservative Bill Kristol and Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos.
In the book Carlson delves into the middle class and how he says it died in the U.S. in 2015 and few cared or acknowledged it.
"Democracies don't work except in middle-class countries," he writes.
Carlson pointed out how there's something wrong when people with household incomes of $80,000 annually cannot afford to send their children to summer camp. Parents nowadays continue to provide money for their children after they move out and graduate from college. And student loan debt continues to skyrocket.
"If I could sum it up, I would say that almost all of our political volatility stems from economic causes," Carlson said in the phone interview.
"The economy doesn't work for most people. What's going on is a small group of people is getting richer than anyone else has in human history and everyone else is languishing."
He said the end of the middle class began in earnest after the Great Recession a decade ago. Most Americans never fully recovered except for the extremely rich, who now are wealthier than ever.
Carlson said he believes part of the problem is the national news media because many attended the same Ivy League schools as the people they cover. So they're too close to their sources to understand what's happening in the rest of America, he said.
That may explain in part why so many national political commentators and polls predicted Hillary Clinton would defeat Trump, Carlson said.
Over seven chapters with titles including "The Diversity Diversion" and "Elites Invade the Bedroom," Carlson reaches deep into history, with plenty of perspective and background to drive home his point.
He offers a few solutions in the epilogue, titled "Righting the Ship."
Carlson, 49, said the timing for his book was something he could not predict, amid the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. Discussions on both sides about the federal judge's qualifications will continue, but it's nothing new in recent years, as Americans more than ever await the next breaking news push alert on their phones.
"All the news cycles that we grew up with, all of that is changed," he said.
"My argument at the core of the book is all of this volatility is coming from the same place. All of these divides are not political divides, they're economic divides.

USF evacuates chemistry building due to funky odor
By BY Examiner Staff • March 26, 2008 12:00 am
Wispy plumes of smoke, liquids frothing out of beakers and loud explosions are all well-documented outputs of chemistry experiments, but University of San Francisco officials realized yet another effect of student lab work: potent odor.
An entire building on the USF campus was evacuated for 1½ hours on Monday after faculty at the Harney Science Center began noticing a suspicious-smelling banana scent wafting through the halls.
San Francisco Police and Fire Department officials rushed to the scene, only to discover later that the odor was the result of a simple experiment conducted by students in an organic chemistry class.
The students were in the midst of creating isopentyl acetate, a particularly smelly compound that is used to test the effectiveness of gas masks and respirators, according to USF spokesman Gary McDonald.
"The compound is basically a very smelly banana oil," McDonald said. "It is pretty much harmless stuff, but it stinks."
McDonald said a lack of communication within the faculty department led to the evacuation.
"The class conducting the experiment apparently hadn't warned everyone in the building about it," McDonald said. "It was probably an overabundance of caution, but in our chemistry building, it always best to be on high alert."
After making a sweep of the building, fire and police officials confirmed there were no safety hazards or injuries and allowed the students to return to class, according to a report released by the SFPD.

Miami's government might raise parking rates across the city for the first time since 2009, in some cases by as much as $1.50 per hour. The reason city administrators give for the hike is simple: The city needs more money.
The amount of increase would depend on the neighborhood. Some high-demand areas such as Brickell, downtown, and Wynwood would see greater hikes than Little River, Calle Ocho and Coral Way, widening the gap between rates in different parts of the city.
For those who skip the meter because they won't be parked very long, beware. The city also hopes to double the number of officers checking parking meters.

Hey, what's up everybody? I'm Joel Cheesman and I, as usual, are joined by my esteemed cohost-
Chad:
Sowash. What's up, Chad? Good to see you. We are also joined today by Gerry Crispin.
Gerry:
Recruiting soothsayer. I guess that's your official title now [crosstalk 00:00:46] Deb from Shaker, Steven from College Recruiter. Welcome guys. We're talking college recruitment, internships, all that good stuff today. I'm going to start with the first question here with ... This one's for Deb. Deb, how should large employers adapt their hiring of students and grads if those employees cannot work remotely?
Deb:
So I believe that if your students cannot work remotely, or new grads. A, unless you're in healthcare, or hospitality, restaurant work, whatever, your business continuity person should probably be fired, or you need to hire one. Because when you think about it, I mean, even our company, we were thinking about risks long before COVID hit. So, kudos to our team and our IT folks who recognize that something could happen and they put a plan in place long ago. And voila, and we were actually able to roll it out this year.
But I mean, that's the first thing is I think, the readiness piece. If you're not ready, you better pivot as fast as you can. You better get a team together and get going. If it is indeed some type of role where it's hands on and you have to bring people in, then I think, man, that's just ... That's going to be tough. Because we still are going to need to social distance, you're going to have to supply PPE, you're going to have to be deep cleaning stations every night.
You're probably going to have to scale back the number of students or new grads that you can bring in at a time, or you're going to have to get really crafty about scheduling. So maybe it's staggered starts, maybe some people are during the day, some are at night, some are on the weekends, and ... Which is going to mean for folks that are supplying the training, they're going to sacrifice some. Not going to be fun.
Yeah. And I guess it's interesting, to think ... So you mentioned healthcare, restaurant. I mean, there's certain jobs that you can't do-
Essential.
Virtually right? Essential jobs. But even past that, I mean, the Peace Corps, I don't ... Jobs, association charities around the world, construction jobs, these aren't virtual jobs. So I think maybe the first element is who does that include? And if you think about it, it includes a lot of people.
It includes a lot of people, a lot more than most people think. We think, "Oh, okay. IT folks can figure out how to do development work independently." Yes they can. But there's an awful lot of other kinds of engineers besides software engineers, and they're working on materials that you can't have at home for the most part. And so all of the things that Deb just talked about are going to have to be rethought in terms of the physicality of where they're going to be. That's one issue.
And I think it's probably the biggest issue with one exception. I think spouses, significant others, parents, particularly as we ... As it relates to college kids, are going to start weighing in very quickly on where their kids are going to be going to work if they physically have to go do that. And that, I think, the influence of others, if you will, I think is going to have a bigger weight.
If my son or daughter were thinking about going to some crazy company that wasn't doing all of the things that Deb itemized, and sharing that well in a way that I could understand, I would be a much more pain in the ass father than I would otherwise.
Well, Gerry, Gerry we've had helicopter parents for a while now, right? So I think what you're saying is we're going to have those same types of parents, but they're going to be layered in with even more criteria-
Parachuting in, is what I'd be doing. Forget that helicopter stuff, I'd be jumping up and down on whoever it was that was out there. It just, it would be a natural issue. Because I, obviously, this is a life and death for some people.
Steven, you've heard the helicopter parent piece before.
Yeah. Since 1990. Yeah.
Yeah, so I mean, so kind of rebounding off of that. How does this actually morph into something different from that aspect of making the decision?
Yeah, I do think that there's going to be significantly increased pressure on employers to adapt, in the short term, the employment that these early careers people are doing. So for example, I'm 54, my brother-in-law's a little bit older than I am, one of my brothers in law. And he is the Safety Engineer who runs the store, in charge of safety for a gas production facility. You can't do that from home.
But if he had, and I don't know if he does or not, but if he had an intern that was going to be working side by side with him this summer, I bet you anything that that intern would be given different work. So even though the facility is ... And my brother in law's job would be essential. He would have to be on site every day. It doesn't mean that that intern who was going to be onsite needs to be. And it might be that that intern four days a week can be doing work remotely, and one day a week be at the facility. And if you do that with everybody, now you've reduced onsite head count by 80%. And then you can get that social distancing much more easily. So you might be able to break up the work. And for the next couple of months, maybe the next six months, you look for work that these people can do that is more remote and not bring them on site. To build off of- [crosstalk 00:07:04] Go for it, yeah.
Do any of you see geography as a variable here? So think of the military, right? We don't just send people to Afghanistan or war zones. We send them to bootcamp, which is a safe environment that they're not going to get shot, hopefully. I mean, could a company New York say, "No way in hell are we going to bring people to New York City with the current state of COVID-19, but we're going to open somewhere in Boise, Idaho, or somewhere in Montana where it's almost a non-threat. [crosstalk 00:07:37]
Some of the sporting leagues are talking about doing that, right? Major league baseball is talking about basically having all of the season played as if it's Grapefruit in Cactus League. So all of the games are going to be in the Phoenix Metro and all over Florida. I'm sure the baseball players are super excited about playing in Phoenix, 120 degrees, a double header, day, after day, after day. That's ... I'm sure they're super excited about that. [crosstalk 00:08:11].
But to answer your question, Joel, one of the things that some of these larger employers do is provide housing for interns. That housing is typically college dorms. Colleges are closed, there are no dorms. How do you bring in ... Some of these companies have 200 interns. And they'll basically, they'll take over a dorm building at UCLA or whatever. How do you house 200 people? You can't. If you're not going to do it in a dorm, and if you defer the start of the internship program until it's reasonably safe to do that, and it's October and that student's going to school now in Philadelphia, how does that work? So, yeah, I really think that adaptation is important, and that remote-
A lot of hotels have vacancies, a lot of hotels will take them.
Yeah, but what's the liability for the employer too, right? I mean, if I'm Deb's intern and Deb says, "Hey, you got to come and live here in Chicago and you're going to go stay at XYZ hotel," and I get sick, who's liable for that? Right now, it's really unclear.
And what does a company after to make sure if they're sued that they did require masks, that they did require hand washing, that they did require all these things? That's something companies will have to take in consideration as well.

#CSocD53: Interview with Dr. Asunción Lera St. Clair
Climate change will be at the centre of attention this year as part of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as the international community is aiming to reach a new climate agreement in Paris in December 2015. The fact that changes in climate often affect socially and economically vulnerable people the most, is something that the Commission for Social Development has also addressed this year.
Watch this interview with Dr. Asunción Lera St. Clair, a sociologist and expert on poverty, development and climate, who took part in the#CSocD53 high-level panel event on 4 February. In this interview, Dr. St. Clair addressed the following questions:
- What key (social) challenges does climate change pose?
- What opportunities for social development follow from the need for a rapid shift towards equitable, climate resilient and sustainable development?

Q: How to use preg_replace to replace everything within slashes? (Only every other match is replaced) I am new to regular expressions, and I've been trying to use it with an url, but I can't get it to work.
I have a string that is:

/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/

and I would like to replace all letters to the string "{char}" so that the string end up being:

/{char}/{char}/{char}/{char}/{char}/{char}/

I've tried this:
<?php
    $pattern        = '#(/)([a-z\_]+)(/)#';
    $replacement    = '$1{char}$3';
    $string         = '/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/';

    echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?>

But this code is resulting in this:

/{char}/plugins/{char}/plugins/{char}/plugins/

What am I doing wrong?

A: The problem is your regex is matching /plugins/ - matching slashes at both the front and the end. Each letter is only matched by the regex once, so if a slash is matched at the end of one word it can't also be counted as the start of another. Hence, it's only matching every other one.
Try this instead:
<?php
    $pattern        = '#(/)([a-z\_]+)(?=/)#';
    $replacement    = '$1{char}';
    $string         = '/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/plugins/';

    echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?>

It works by using lookahead, instead of actually matching the final slash (and "consuming" it) it just checks to make sure it's there.

From Goal Drought To Injury – Should Chelsea Be Worried About Romelu Lukaku?

Since scoring against Zenit St Petersburg last month, Chelsea's club record signing Romelu Lukaku hasn't been very fruitful in front of goals firing blank in his last 6 games for the Blues. However, it was expected that the Belgian would rediscover his scoring boots against Malmo in the Champions league yesterday, but his participation in the game was cut short in the 19 minute following a horror challenge from Lasse Nielsen. The result was an injury for Lukaku and a penalty for Chelsea which was converted by Jorginho.
The 28 year old was replaced by Kai Havertz thus killing any hope he had of ending his goal drought. It has now being confirmed by Thomas Tuchel that Lukaku suffered an ankle twist and will be out for a few weeks. For a player who went from a goalless run to picking up an Injury, it begs the question, should the European Champions be worried about Romelu Lukaku?.
However, looking at Chelsea's upcoming fixtures over the next 17 days, Tuchel will be glad their opponents do not include a side in the top half of the Premier league and in Europe as Malmo are the closest to a strong team that they will face again on November 2nd. But given the fact that Romelu Lukaku's setback was accompanied by a hamstring Injury to Timo Werner, Chelsea's attacking options has now grown thin all of a sudden.
The Chelsea's number 9 may not have scored in the 6 games he played prior to yesterday's match, but there's no questioning the threat he carries up front and how his presence makes it easy for his teammates to find the back of the net even when he wasn't scoring. Needful to say that the Belgian will be a big miss for the Blues and for the weeks that he will be unavailable, Tuchel must improvise a plan to keep the team going.
