Turner hits Super-2: so who gets fired?
Turner now stands to make millions more than he would have otherwise. photo via wp.com
We found out last week that Trea Turner qualified for Super-2 status by a scant two service days. Two frigging days. Great for him; instead of getting $600k next year he'll probably get $5M or more (mlbtraderumors.com estimates $5.3M for his first year). He's certainly deserving of this money after delivering bWAR seasons of 3.4, 2.6 and then 4.1 in 2018. The first two numbers are even more impressive given that they were done in partial seasons.
But this is a huge issue for the franchise. And yet another critical payroll management error that is now making even more evident that there needs to be some accountability.
To give you an idea of how much this little situation will cost the Nats, lets look at what our last significant Super-2 guy did: Anthony Rendon. Even though he signed to avoid arbitration each time, and even though he was one of the last pre-CBA deals that outlawed 40-man/MLB deals, he's still a super-2 guy and we can project his salary with and without the extra year.
2016: 2.8M
2018: 12.3M
2019: MLBtraderumors estimates $17.6M.
Total outlay: $38.5M
Instead, had he been a normal arb player, he'd have basically gotten the first three years of this scenario plus the 4th year of MLB min. So his salary would have looked like this:
2016: $550k
Pretty significant difference. You may quibble with the player and with the estimates … but the fact remains, a 4th arbitration year for a very good player will likely mean a $18M-$20M payroll difference. If you really want to see a team that screwed this up, look at Tim Lincecum's salary progression with the Giants. He qualified for Super2 by just a few days and went from a MLB min salary to $9M, with escalators up to $22M by the time he was done.
Anyway; why do I care? It isn't my money right? Well I care because this little screw up cost the team $5M more than it was expecting just a few weeks ago, in a critical off-season where they need to fill multiple holes and are clearly dead-set against even coming close to the luxury tax cap again. And now they have $5M less to play with. $5M less to try to shoe-horn Bryce Harper into a deal maybe, or $5M less to spread around to catchers, starters, relievers and infielders that they need.
And this situation was ENTIRELY AVOIDABLE. Entirely. The Nats made two significant errors in the handling of Turner's service time:
August 2015: The team calls up the 22-yr old to essentially be a bench-bat for a team going nowhere. In case you don't remember, on the day of his call-up the Nats were 60-61, below .500, 5 games out of first place and with no place to play him. Turner basically gets pinch hit appearances for weeks, finally getting to start a game on Sept 18th, and then starting every day the last week of the season as the Nats were eliminated and busy doing other things (you know, like having our idiot closer choke out our most important player on national TV). To this day, I don't understand how the manager (Matt Williams) and the GM (Mike Rizzo) were so far apart on this situation. Why call him up if he's just going to sit? Who was asking for the call-up and who was forcing the call-up? Why not send him back down if it became apparent he wasn't going to play? They didn't have a position for him, with two veterans entrenched at 2B and SS at the time (Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa). The entire move made no sense … and put the team in a significant pickle with Turner to start 2016.
June 2016: the team calls him up on June 3rd, he starts a game, rides the bench for a game, then gets sent back down. Why?? There was no corresponding D/L trip that I can find for backup infielders; the only move at that time was Ryan Zimmerman going on paternity leave … but he's a 1B, not a middle infielder. Two days later the team signed veteran MIF Steve Lombardozzi to a contract the same day they sent Turner down. Wtf? You couldn't have covered for whoever was unavailable out of on-hand options instead of screwing around with the service time of one of your best prospects, one who you knew was in flux thanks to the previous year's decisions? Who made the decision to call up Turner instead of just batting some replacement level utility infielder 8th for a couple of nights? Was it Dusty Baker who demanded the player to come up … so he could sit him the next night??
Those two moves, more than two years ago, come home to roost now.
Maybe it won't matter. Maybe the team doesn't need that extra $5m because they're going to move someone else. Maybe the team has already decided to move away from Harper and knows they won't need every penny of payroll. Maybe the team already figures 2018 was their big shot and they frigging blew it and are ready to stop really trying and just rake in the MLB Advanced Media revenue for a while.
Maybe there's a severe disconnect in this front office, evidenced by the manager selection this year, evidenced by the petulant ridding of certain players, evidenced by the in ability to see early enough they didn't have the horses and shedding payroll … only STILL not able to get underneath the penalty or 2018 (still amazed by this).
So anyway, can't wait to hear ownership tell us they just couldn't afford to keep Harper or to buy a needed replacement when it comes up because they have to stay under the luxury tax. I'm not one to say I told you so … but remember this post if and when it happens.

Ask Collier: first mailbag of the 2018-19 off-season!
The off season all revolves around Harper. Photo via GQ Magazine
Hey there! If its the Nat's off-season, it must mean mail bag time. We havn't seen one from MLB.com beat reporter Jamal Collier in a while (what, was he busy or something? but now we get one with some good discussion-generating questions.
Here's how i'd answer the questions he took.
Q: As a fan of the great outfield we had at the end of the year. Are the Nationals considering trading Adam Eaton if they resign Bryce Harper?
A: Indeed, an outfield of Soto, Eaton, and Harper is pretty awesome, if (biiiiig if) all are healthy and producing at optimal levels. And the on top of that we have a top-5 prospect in all of baseball Victor Robles who no longer can be kept in the minors. So that's four solid players who all would start for any team in this league on one team. So what do we do?
Well … only one of these four guys is a Free Agent: Harper
And, only one of these guys is projected to make a ridiculous, franchise altering amount of money in free agency: Harper.
Harper has played for 7 nearly full-seasons: he has a total bWAR figure for his career is 27.4. That's an average of 3.9 bWAR per season. Yes he had a monster 10 win season in his MVP season of 2015, but he's also lost huge portions of several seasons to injury. And that has to be part of the conversation when you consider whether you commit $200M to him for the next 7 years.
For me the answer is easy. Juan Soto will make the MLB minimum (or near to it) next year; call it $600k. He generated 3.0 bWAR in 116 games, which projects to a 4.1 Win season with 162 games. I'd rather pay Soto $600k to give the team the same expected level of production as Harper would for 30-TIMES more money. You let Harper walk, you go to war in 2019 with Soto in left, Robles in center, Eaton in right, finally have three outfields all in the "right" positions defensively, and then deal with a 4th outfielder from internal candidates.
NOW. Letting a tranformative player like Harper go is … well its an "above the GM" decision. Not only because of the impact on payroll, but because of his role with the team. He's a massively marketable star, transformative not just for the team but for the sport of professional baseball. His $30M/year salary (or whatever he wants) is not just about payroll; you can't put a price tag on the marketability of a player of his stature and what it means for the team. He puts "butts in the seats." He is in national commercial ad campaigns. He's a foil (for better or for worse) across the sport. Do you just let a guy like this walk? They're getting basically *nothing* back for him (a compensation pick between the 4th and 5th rounds, thanks to the criminally poor job the team did in managing the luxury cap over the last two years), so that barely factors into the discussion.
Now, lets say, for the sake of argument, that the team does re-sign Harper. Yeah for me, if you re-sign Harper, you're going to have to move either Eaton or Robles. So … which do you move? Eaton, like Harper, has been just crushed by injury the last two years, producing a fraction of his value the 3 years prior. So even though he's still quite affordable, trading him this off-season would be trading pretty low. Robles is still the unknown; yeah he's an amazing prospect, but is he going to have a Juan Soto-like 2019? Robles can be the centerpiece of a trade that could return a significant player in an area of need for this team (mid-level Starter or quality starting Catcher). Would you prefer to go that route?
For me; i'm on record. I want to part ways with Harper, field a starting OF that costs less than half of a one-year Harper salary figure and allocate his projected payroll towards other areas of need.
Collier echos my concerns about trading Eaton low, but also notes that … well this is THE decision that the team faces, probably the biggest one in a decade. We can't know until the Harper decision is made.
Q: What's Michael A. Taylor's future with this team?
A: For me, despite Michael Taylor' awesome 2017 season, he's reverted back to form. He's a 4th outfielder. Great defensively, poor offensively. Can play all three OF positions, plays CF excellently. But he still strikes out 33% of the time and cannot be trusted. After his 2018, its not like he has real trade value, and he's now also arbitration eligible so he's not exactly cheap. Is he a non-tender candidate? Probably not, but assuming the team goes with my plan of letting Harper walk and going with a starting OF of Soto-Robles-Eaton, then for me Taylor is an ideal 4th and competes in the spring with Andrew Stevenson for that role. He should win it, then be coupled with a corner-OF bench bat type who can play LF in a pinch.
Honestly, you learned everything you needed to know by looking at the amount of playing time Taylor got this past September once Robles came up. Almost none.
Now, if the team reasigns Harper? I don't think much changes; the team moves either Eaton or Robles, still leaving Taylor as the 4th.
Collier thinks they'll explore moving him "before his trade value falls anymore." Uh … too late dude!
Q: Who are the free agent starting pitchers that Nationals will attempt to sign?
A: Taking a quick gander at the list of available starters … there's all kinds of interesting names. Who knows who they may end up with.
Lets start with, what do they need? They're keeping Scherzer, Strasburg, Roark, and Ross. They can either go to war with a 5th starter like Fedde or McGowin or Voth or Jefry Rodriguez, or look at free agency to improve the back end. I'd love to get a 3rd starter-quality guy to slot in behind the big two, then hope for a better season from Roark (something closer to 2016 than 2018), and hope for Ross to come back to what we know he's capable of. That's a potentially solid rotation for me.
We also might be focusing on a lefty, since Gio Gonzalez was our only lefty starter. But I don't think that should be a huge factor honestly. The team needs to find the best value and availability.
I don't see them pursuing a $20M/year guy. Not with the amount of money already going to their two #1 starters and certainly not given the possibilty of their re-signing Harper.
So, lets think about middle-of-the road lefty veteran starters. How about someone like a Jaime Garcia, or Hyung-Jin Ryu?
If they can't land a lefty, there's a slew of interesting names out there that are righties. I like Nathan Eovaldi, Wade Miley, Garrett Richards.
Collier hedges and says the obvious; we won't know until they decide what they're doing with Harper. Yeah i get it. He mentions that Patrick Corbin is probably out of the conversation (duh; he'll be like the 4th most expensive player this off-season) and mentions re-upping with Jeremy Hellickson, which I don't think happens b/c he pitched himself into a decent sized contract.. Its also worth mentioning; maybe the team goes the trade route, which opens up the realm of possibles to half the league's starters if they're willing to give up Robles or Carter Kieboom in trade.
Q: At what point will the Nats start looking for a more durable first baseman? Zim has averaged only 100 games a season over the last five years.
A: Uh, the second Ryan Zimmerman isn't guaranteed 8 figures a year? And, by the way, what is this guy missing with the current roster construction? We were nearly to the point of an 1980s Orioles John Lowenstein/Gary Roenecke type platoon this year between Zimmerman and the lefty hitting Matt Adams. The team is already mitigating Zimmerna's annual health issues with a backup.
And guess what? They'll do it again this off-season. Look for the team to sign another Adams clone, someone like Lucas Duda or Steve Pearce or Pedro Alvarez. Heck, maybe they'll re-sign Adams.
Collier basically says the same thing I did.
Q: Will Riz let Difo and Kieboom fight it out for 2b in spring training or will he look for a veteran 2b, using Kendrick in a super utility role?
A: The question probably should have read: "Wil Rizzo let Difo and Howie Kendrick fight it out…" Because Kieboom aint' making this team in 2019. For one, he's never played 2B professionally. Not that its a heavy lift going from SS to 2B (it isn't) .. but he's also just 60-some games removed from A-Ball. Kieboom needs to go from the AFL back to AA and return his OPS figures back to the .880 level before even being considered for AAA.
Honestly, I think the team goes with Kendrick (assuming he's recovered from his bad achilles injury) as the starter, with Difo as the utility guy. Thanks to Kendrick's injury and Daniel Murphy's prolonged recovery, Difo was essentially a starter this year. And he did not impress, his average dropping 40 points from where it was last year. I think that cements his status as a backup utility infielder who can cover middle infield positions in a pinch. I'm glad we have someone on the bench who can at least hit at a 75 OPS+ figure; lets not push it.
That being said, for me Kieboom is the future here. I think he might be ready after a half a season, and at that point you bring him up and slot him in at 2B. He could eventually move to 3B if the team cannot retain Anthony Rendon, or can stay at 2B and be a Jeff Kent-style slugger. I'd love to see that come together and have him join Soto and Robles as the core of the next generation of this team.
Collier thinks the team might look elsewhere for a starting 2B. I think they can make-do from within and not waste money chasing another Murphy replacement.

My 2018 End-of-Season Awards Predictions
Another season, another MVP runner-up for Trout at the behest of another player? PHoto via redsox life
Hi there. Its time to write about the "silly season" of baseball. Its my annual awards predictor piece.
Here's my predictions for how the awards will go. Important note: This is not necessarily how I believe the awards should go, it is how I think the current electorate will vote … though I do tend to believe that the MVP award in particular is not just about naming the WAR leader in the league. And I also tend to favor giving a pitcher the Cy Young and a non-pitcher the MVP. But feel free to discuss in the comments if you think i'm wrong. I can be argumentative either way
How do I think the voting will go?
AL MVP: Betts
NL MVP: Yelich
AL Cy Young: Snell
NL Cy Young: Scherzer, changed mind to deGrom after reading the tea leaves
AL Rookie: Ohtani
NL Rookie: Acuna
AL Manager: Melvin (Oakland)
NL Manager: Snitker (Atlanta)
Discussion/Reasoning
AL MVP: Mookie Betts is the best player on the best team, always a good place to start with MVP thoughts. Yes, once again Mike Trout is having a phenomenal year, and once again he toils on the West Coast and for a team out of the playoff race. I'm eternally sympathetic to those who think MVP should not include team performance … and i'm perennially finding myself agreeing with "old school" sentiments that ask a simple question; how can you be the most valuable player when your team isn't a factor for most of the year. Also in the mix would be Betts' teammate J.D. Ramirez, the Oakland phenomenon Matt Chapman, Houston WAR leader Alex Bregman, and Cleveland stars Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor. My personal hedge statement here: I'd be rather surprised if Betts did not win.
NL MVP: Christian Yelich has really exploded late in the season to put his name into this discussion. But the question may end up being this: is this one of those weird years where no dominant, obvious position player candidate steps up and thus the award goes to a pitcher? I'd suggest this might be possible … except that the top 3-4 pitching candidates all play for non-playoff teams. And that doesn't match the narrative. I'm going to go with Yelich, then the top NL pitchers right behind him, with perhaps Javier Baez, Nolan Arenado and Freddie Freeman getting some votes as their respective "best player on a playoff team" status. Coincidentally … did you know that Anthony Rendon is 2nd in the NL in fWAR behind Yelich? I certainly didn't. Personal Hedge statement: I'd still be shocked if a pitcher for a non-playoff team won here, and would find it hard to vote for one of these other position players mentioned.
AL Cy Young: Blake Snell. This might be an interesting case of whether you're wow'd by conventional stats or not. Snell has a sub 2.00 ERA, but he's doing it thanks to a ridiculously low BABIP, which drags down is fWAR and puts him well down the league leader list. Meanwhile in bWAR … he's the top AL pitcher, ahead of his competition for this award. I think the fact that he's put up the numbers that he has playing in the AL East and having fully 25% of his starts this year come against Boston and the Yankees is pretty amazing. I'd vote Snell. Also in the mix here: Verlander, Cole, Sale, Kluber, Bauer. Personal Hedge: wouldn't be surprised if this went to Verlander or Sale instead.
NL Cy Young. Max Scherzer Yes i'm convinced that his broaching the 300k mark put him over the top, despite the unbelievable season that Jacob deGrom had. I could be wrong; maybe the electorate has now advanced to the point where they recognize that a guy who finished 10-9 was indeed the best pitcher of the year. We'll see. Either way, I sense these guys go 1-2. After them, look for Aaron Nola Kyle Freeland, and Patrick Corbin. Personal Hedge: deGrom is getting enough "holy cow look at this season" buzz that it wouldn't really surprise me if he won. And he'd be completely deserving. Btw, as the off-season narratives grew, I became less and less convinced I had this one right. Writing this ahead of the awards, I think deGrom wins.
AL Rookie: Shohei Ohtani: it shouldn't be close honestly. He had a 4.0 WAR season, clubbing more than 20 homers and looking pretty darn solid on the mound before the inevitable elbow injury derailed his season and cost him 60 games or so. Only Gleybar Torres is close; this should be a unanimous vote and I hope Ohtani comes back from injury sooner than later. Personal Hedge: a vote against Ohtani is really a bad one honestly.
NL Rookie: Ronald Acuna; its Acuna or Juan Soto, both of whom had historic seasons at a young age. Acuna's monster September pushes him over the top, and his stat line for the season is just slightly better than Soto's, despite the missed time. By narrative, Soto would have this hands-down though; he advanced from Low-A to putting up a 4-win season as a 19yr old, has had perhaps the 2nd or 3rd best teen-aged season in the long history of our game, and might have been in the MVP race had the Nats won the division. Hedge: I begrudgingly have to admit that Acuna is slightly better, and rookie status isn't given context (ie, its not part of the equation that Soto started the year in Low-A and Acuna was in AAA and a known #1 overall prospect).
AL Manager: hard not to say that Bob Melvin's performance taking an expected also-ran to nearly 100 wins isn't the Mgr of the year. He's on his like 18th starter of the year, he's winning with a bunch of non-prospects, he's turned trash into treasure (Blake Treinen).
NL Manager: Brian Snitker, who took the NL east by 8 games in a complete surprise based on nearly every pundit's pre-season predictions. No other NL playoff team was really this big of a "surprise" so he gets it.
Actual Award Results added as they were awarded (updated post-publishing). Finalists announced 11/4/18.
AL MVP: Betts easily 28 of 30 1st place votes.
NL MVP: Yelich nearly unanimously; deGrom got one 1st place vote.
AL Cy Young: Snell squeaked by Verlander with 17 of 30 first place votes to win.
NL Cy Young: deGrom nearly unanimously, getting 29/30 first place votes.
AL Rookie: Ohtani in a landslide, getting 25 of 30 1st place votes (Andujar got the other 5).
NL Rookie: Acuna, in a landslide, getting 27 of 30 first place votes.
AL Manager: Melvin getting 18 of 30 1st place votes.
NL Manager: Snitker, getting 17 of 30 1st place votes.
My prediction results: 7 for 8 (missed on my initial deGrom prediction).
Links to other awards that I didn't predict this year (again, updated post-publishing as they're announced)

Q: The proper way to include/require PHP files in WordPress I'm a new WordPress developer and recently I've been having problems (on multiple sites) with include_once and require_once for PHP files. If I include (get_theme_directory_uri() . 'subdir/file') the specified file gets included (or required, which leads to fatal errors) but if any WordPress functions are called within 'file' I get something similar to:

'Call to undefined function add_action() in /full/path/to/file'.

The apparent solution I've found is to do:
include(dirname(__FILE__) . "/subdir/filename");

Is this right or did I miss 'the WordPress way' to include files somewhere?

A: If you check https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_directory_uri
You will see get_template_directory_uri() returns a uri, not a server path.
You should use instead the get_template_directory() function, which returns the path to the theme, without trailing slash:
include get_template_directory() . '/subdir/filename.php';

For a plugin you can use the plugin_dir_path() function:
include plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/subdir/filename.php';

A: WordPress 4.7+ introduce get_theme_file_path() functions to include file on WordPress theme.
Include like this:
include get_theme_file_path( '/subdir/filename.php' );

The advantage of using this function is on child theme you can override the parent theme file.
Reference : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_theme_file_path/

A: In the following examples, I assume you are using composer and a child theme might be enabled or not.

*

*Use this method if you want to include a file within a theme and want to ensure the parent theme's directory is used even if a child theme is enabled:

require get_template_directory() . '/vendor/autoload.php';

*Or use this method if you want to include a file within a theme and don't mind whether the parent theme's directory is used or the child theme's directory is used if a child theme is enabled:

require get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vendor/autoload.php';

*And lastly, use this method if you want to include a file within a plugin:

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Be careful with the last method because the magic constant __DIR__ will have a different value depending on the directory in which your php file is located.
Note that there's no benefit to using the plugin_dir_path() function as it is just a wrapper to the trailingslashit() function.
The documentation says:

The "plugin" part of the name is misleading – it can be used for any file, and will not return the directory of a plugin unless you call it within a file in the plugin's base directory.

See https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/plugin_dir_path/ for more details.
Also note that using include is poor practice because a missing file will only raise a warning. Always use require instead, because a missing file will raise a fatal error and won't stay unnoticed.

To me poetry is about calling on and connecting with the muse; a sometimes elusive, yet ever present 'river of the imagination', linking the Divine with the Everyday.
Poetry touches deep within, journeying from joy to grief and back again.
An essential reservoir; continuously refreshing and re-invigorating as it flows, journeying from joy to grief and back again.
Expressing emotions which can add to that ever flowing river, and through that, irrigate, refresh and renew, not only the inner landscape of the soul, but the outer landscape of community and culture, stirring and connecting humanity at its selfless source. This is what poetry is capable of. By honouring Awen*, we allow Spirit to flow. 'Awen' – in the ancient language of these islands – alludes to "Flowing Spirit".

The government of India introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2016 across the country. It was a move to make the entire taxation process of India more flexible. The impact of GST has been quite varied on different sectors of the economy. One the crucial sectors that GST has impacted in the import and exports. Exports and imports are important contributors towards revenue generation in the country, which is why it is also essential to study the impact GST has on it.
However, there is a lot of ambiguity among eCommerce entrepreneurs on the possible impact of GST on the export of various goods. So, if you're worried about the same issue, don't worry, we've got you covered!
As an eCommerce seller, to begin your export trade, you are first required to apply for GST. The process of application for GST is quite simple and can be easily done in a few steps. You must keep the required documents handy and the detailed notifications regarding the same can also be found on the government's website.
As per the GST council, the exports of goods and services has been considered as a zero-rated supply and so there will be no GST levied on such exports. As per the new GST scheme, the duty drawback will be provided for the customs duty paid on the goods that have been imported. The purpose for these imports must be manufacturing.
Similarly, duty drawback will also be provided on the central excise duty. These can be paid for certain imported tobacco and petroleum products that have been imported as fuel for captive power generation.
In case of the supply of goods or services that are prescribed under bond or Letter of Undertaking for the safeguard of the payment of integrated tax, refund of the unutilized input tax credit will be made. In this case, the exporter can file a refund application on the GST portal or through the GST facilitation center.
If the exporter is an agency of the United Nation or any embassy as specified in section 55 safeguards of GST may be prescribed. In that case, a refund can be claimed as specified under section 54 of the CGST Act. In this case, the shipping bill needs to be provided in order to claim the refund of the IGST paid.
Of late the influence of GST's impact has been mixed in the export sector. The export industry was facing a few problems to due to non-availability of refund on time. To address this issue, the GST council took the decision to make six-month tax exemption for exporters. Moreover, the exporters have been exempted from the heavy taxes. With all these measures, it is expected that the whole process will be streamlined soon.
Of late the influence of GST has not been very positive in the export sector. The export industry is facing problems to due to non-availability of refund on time.

Saving America one dime at a time with the "March for Babies"
by Kevin Fobbs May 13, 2015
written by Kevin Fobbs May 13, 2015
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2015 –One hundred and twenty thousand babies are born with serious birth defects in America. Each donation has tremendous impact.
The March of Dimes "March for Babies" is one of the most effective ways to change that. Babies that are at risk from premature birth, birth defects and the threat of death are helped each year.
Click here to listen to Freedom's Gate, 6:30 pm Eastern
Since 1970 over $2 billion has been raised to assist moms with healthy pregnancies as well as to fund crucial research to end premature birth.
Reaching out to help a neighbor, a friend or perhaps a family member with a donation as small as a dime is one simple way to demonstrate how a basic act of kindness directly benefits the lives of a half million babies born prematurely each year.
One person at a time has been making a difference to help since 1949, when John Harrison Finger of High Point, N.C., walked 32 miles pulling a wagon for the March of Dimes. He collected $1,700 along the way.
Today, 1,100 communities across the nation and approximately 7 million people are part of the "March for Babies" army of compassion and caring walkers.
Find out how one person can make the difference in helping to save the life of a baby or a mom, from Standing at Freedom's Gate guest Jackie Fobbs, a nationally known senior health system analyst.
Joining her on the program is Michael Joseph, a UAW international representative, editor and chief writer for UAW Region 1A's published communications for the UAW's Solidarity Magazine and Retiree's News, and CEO/president of Omari Productions join host Kevin Fobbs to discuss this import effort on behalf of the most innocent and at risk.

UNLEASED SPEED. UNLEASHED SPEECH. A Group Show Curated by Stefan Brüggemann
By Mark Westall • 24 August 2020
UNLEASHED SPEED UNLEASHED SPEECH (MISFITS) a group exhibition curated by London and Mexico City-based contemporary artist Stefan Brüggemann will open on September 5, 2020, and will continue on view through October 10 at KOTARO NUKAGA Tokyo
Brüggemann has been exhibiting his work globally, recognized as one of the most thriving and anticipated contemporary artists of today. His first solo show in Japan in the autumn of 2018 at KOTARO NUKAGA marked the gallery's inaugural exhibition; the series of work reflecting the modern-day digital culture attracted much attention from the Japanese contemporary art world.
In this exhibition curated by Brüggemann, he will be presenting his work along with three other internationally-respected artists: Oriol Vilanova, Jay Rechsteiner, and Gardar Eide Einarsson. While the artists have a diverse background and artistic style, they observe the ever-accelerating, information-overloading state of the modern world in an incisive manner and reflect their unique perspective in their work. The unrestrained acceleration of social change keeps escalating without any sign of slowing down, and the ability to see through the surface of the constant flood of information with keen insight is in question. The exhibition will highlight insightful perspectives on human behaviors from the "misfits'" standpoint as we face accelerated, extreme changes throughout the world.
UNLEASHED SPEED UNLEASHED SPEECH (MISFITS) Featuring Oriol Vilanova, Jay Rechsteiner, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Stefan Brüggemann Curated by Stefan Brüggemann September 5th – October 10th, 2020 KOTARO NUKAGA TERRADA Art Complex 3F, 1-33-10 Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, 140-0002, Japan kotaronukaga.com
Stefan Brüggemann (1975, Mexico City, Mexico) develops a conceptual approach to the artistic process, which he explores with a critical and often provocative and ironic attitude, questioning its inner activity and contemporary societies. He works with a wide range of media, creating large installations, neon works, paintings, and photographs. Brüggemann's work is a unique combination between theoretical concepts (mainly grounded on poststructuralism and deconstructionism) and pop imagery, inspired nihilism (anti-conformism, provocation, and cynicism), which are often expressed through tautological premises, not only within themselves but also in relation to the context in which they are conceived and inserted. His primary strategy is to insert a certain pop sensibility into conceptual practices. Brüggemann has exhibited extensively throughout Europe and America. In 2017, his work was exhibited in THE ART SHOW: Millennium Art in Taguchi Art Collection by the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, Japan. In September 2019, his large-scale installation Headlines & Last Lines in the Movies (Guernica) was exhibited at Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Oriol Vilanova (1980, Manresa, Spain) is based in Brussels. His works have been exhibited individually at several institutions as MAC's, Grand-Hornu (Belgium); Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo (U.S.); Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (Monaco); Musée d'Ixelles, Brussels (Belgium); M – Museum Leuven (Belgium); L'appartement 22, Rabat (Morocco); Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (Spain). Group shows in Palais de Tokyo, Paris (France); Kunsthal Extracity, Antwerpen (Belgium); Les Abattoirs, Toulousse (2019); Petach Tikva Museum of Art, Tel Aviv (Israel); Les Rencontres de la photographie, Arles (France); FUTURA Centre for Contemporary Art, Prague (Czechoslovakia); MACBA, Barcelona (Spain), among others. By rummaging through flea markets, his favourite places for research, he built up a collection of postcards to create a "thinking machine" that provides the conceptual foundations for his plays, installations and performances.
Jay Rechsteiner (1971, Basel, Switzerland) is based in Margate on the South East coast of England. He was trained in Switzerland and in the UK. In the 1990s he moved to Japan where he spent 6 years painting. In 2001 he returned to Europe. Rechsteiner exhibited internationally, including the Venice Biennale, Fukuoka Art Museum, the Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Liverpool. From In 2007 Rechsteiner formed half of the artist duo Sardine & Tobleroni, who gained an increasing reputation between 2007 and 2012 in London and Portugal. In 2012 Rechsteiner decided to work solo again.
Gardar Eide Einarsson (1976, Oslo, Norway) is currently based in Tokyo. He received his education from the National Academy of Fine Art, Bergen; Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Kunste – Städelschule – Frankfurt and the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in New York City. His solo shows include ARoS Aarhus Art Museum; Museum of Modern Art, Fort Worth (USA); Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art (Norway); Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva (Switzerland); and Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel (Germany). He has also exhibited in venues including Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark); MoMA PS; MARCO Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Vigo (Spain); Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto (Portugal); Istanbul Museum of Modern Art; Palais de Tokyo, Paris and has participated in the Whitney Biennial, and the Sydney Biennial among others. Einarsson's work is represented in a number of public collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York; SFMoMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Fransisco; Museum for Moderne Kunst Frankfurt (MMK), Moderna Museet, Stockholm and the Norwegian National Museum of Art, Oslo.

Darkly Comic
Exhibition at FACT, Wood Street
10th December - 30th January 2005
Reviewed by Kenn Taylor
The FACT's latest exhibition begs the eternal question: what is art? More specifically: can cartoons and computer games be seen as art?
Showing in both of the galleries and the media lounge, Darkly Comic features the work of two multimedia artists who use the popular culture appeal of animation and video games to get their points across.
Marina Zurkow's vivid and garishly colourful animations are shown on hanging transparent screens, and are certainly eye-catching. The ever-changing surreal scenes of a young girl moving through a psychedelic world compells the viewer to stay for a long time, and walking round the gallery is quite an experience. Pussy Weevil - her interactive motion sensor exhibit is amusing, for a while at least. However, I found Zurkow's explanations of her work a little pretentious and I failed to see the "structure of the Tibetan wheel of existence" or the "parody of Bush's inarticulate displays of bravura" in the squawking of chickens and a little animated man running about. Maybe I'm not smart enough. Good animation though.
By contrast, Eddo Stern's work convincingly displays his concern for the current political climate and armed conflict in particular. In particular, his multimedia sculptures Crusade and USS Dragoon examine the American war machine and how acceptance of war seeps into popular culture through video games and film. However, perhaps it is his 'Machinima' works - made by recording video game play - that are his best. The first - Vietnam Romance - uses a host of notoriously violent video games to recreate scenes from famous Vietnam movies. Set to a tinny 1960s soundtrack, it's a quite visceral experience and it was one of the few times I have been really absorbed by a piece of video art; it really made me think about how the media revels in and glorifies violent conflict. Stern's other Machinima piece - Sheik Attack - examines the conflict between Lebanon and his native Israel. Setting the history of the conflict to a soundtrack of traditional Israeli songs allows it to be quite gripping as well as informative. This is art that actually says something.
Darkly Comic is a truly innovative and interesting exhibition of new art that really makes the visitor interact with the works, experiencing them rather than just looking at them on walls.

Cael possibly "better" but Dake more accomplished
By OCGrappler, March 24, 2013 in College Wrestling
The_Education 24
When comparing wrestlers in the four-years-of-eligiblity era, I think the top three have to be:
Cael Sanderson - 4x champ - 159-0
Kyle Dake - 4x champ - 132-4
Pat Smith - 4x champ - 121-6-2
After that, it gets more dicey, but I think you have to consider names like S. Abas, Tom Brands, J. Smith, Kemp, McIlravy, Williams, M. Schultz, Askren, Angle, and E. Banach.
denny 216
Denny, I am with you. I don't remember when you coined the "Professor" term, but it stuck and was most appropriate. Watching him wrestle truly was an act of art. He was quick, slick, strong, and could score from any position. There will never be another Cael Sanderson. Four titles, Four OW's, and Three Hodges coupled with an undefeated official record is nothing to sneeze at. Praising the accomplishments of both Kyle Dake and Professor Cael doesn't mean we have to denigrate the other. We may see another 4-timer, but I doubt we will see another 4 times in 4 weights, and I am certain we will never see another Cael.
I remember watching that 1st finals bout. Cael was literally 'out slickin' Eggum (in the first of four titles). The camara panned to the seats. There we all could see Cael's brother and mother. His brother could be heard to say " "woe he is doing it the same....treating that stud the same way."
As for the "The Professor" nickname....I believe that I began posting that-the summer after he beat Eggum.
HurricaneWrestling 1,123
OCG said it well.
And I might add that had Cael wrestled a varsity schedule as a true freshman (instead of open tournaments) he might have had some losses the same way Pat Smith did (who DID wrestle varsity as a true freshman).
Excellent point, and that is why the RS yr or lack of it has to be a consideration when talking about all time greats.
A RS year is extremely valuable... look what it did for Taylor.
To come out of HS and win an ncaa title as a tr fr is extremely rare. We'll never know, but I have doubts Cael would've won as a true fr. We do know that he lost a match that season to Jenn, and we do know, despite entering open competitions, he didn't face the truly elite guys during his true fr year.
No, a redshirt year, or lack thereof, doesn't have to be a consideration when talking about the all time greats. Folks can choose to use that as part of their personal criteria if they like, but I've never seen it held against an athlete - except for Sanderson. I suspect some do so only because they're already biased against him. (Remember the many posts about "Bael" and the obvious animosity toward him for reviving the dormant Penn State program.)
Similar to GoNotQuietly's comment about a person valuing one wrestling style over another, the criteria each person uses in determining who's the greatest is based on their personal value system. Historically, the greatest athletes have been measured, in large part, by their records. Inasmuch as the primary object of wrestling is to win every time one steps on the mat, and because this feat is so rarely accomplished in the modern era, a perfect record is perhaps the most difficult athletic achievement in the sport. (Four titles at four different weights may be a rarer accomplishment, but it's not purely an athletic achievement. Athletes, particularly college-age ones, have different maturation rates that play a role in whether one would even be in such a situation.)
Sanderson clearly ranks ahead of Dake by all of the traditional measures. He not only had a better record, he had a perfect one. He also won in a more dominating fashion than Dake. During their respective four years of wrestling at the NCAAs, Sanderson was named the the most outstanding wrestler four times to Dake's once. And, finally, Sanderson has won the Hodge Trophy an unprecedented three times to Dake's (likely) once. (That's seven major awards based on being the top collegiate wrestler for Sanderson, compared to two for Dake.)
Kyle Dake is a great champion and representative of college wrestling - and he has earned his way into an elite club in college wrestling history. However, placing a higher value on things other than his record and wrestling accomplishments doesn't cause him to surpass Sanderson on the list of all-time greats. That's not to say those other factors aren't impressive, because they indeed are. Taken together with his record and accomplishments, however, they ultimately don't place him as high as Sanderson on the list of all-time greats. (JMHO)
superold 34
If you want to have a "pound for pound" debate between Dake and Cael, and you want to take Cael, I can't argue with you. Cael was just so dominant, it's hard to go against that. (Though in fairness, Taylor was equally dominant when he wasn't wrestling Dake.)
But at the end of the day, it is clear that Dake wrestled tougher competiton. 3 of the 4 guys that Dake beat in the finals were NCAA champs, that is nuts. The LEAST accomplished guy that Dake beat was a 2x finalist, so basically a push with the MOST accomplished guy that Cael beat. There is the 4 weight classes. There is the lack of redshirt, which is a huge difference. I have a hard time calling Cael "undefeated" when he did lose a folkstyle match his freshman year. That match happened, we can't pretend that it didn't because he was a redshirt ...something Dake never did.
To be considered a better overall wrestler than Cael for his entire career, Dake needs a world level gold in the mantle piece. But it is fair to call Dake the more accomplished college wrestler. 4 titles without a redshirt over 3 NCAA champs trumps undefeated but a loss during the redshirt year and no finals wins against NCAA champs.
Let's also not forget that Cael made a World Team while in college.
The truth is, while Taylor won't have the accomplishments quite to officially say it, IMO he is one of the 10 best college wrestlers of all time. And Dake beat him 4 times in less than a year. Cael may be "better" than Dake, I'm not sure. But Dake's accomplishment is more impressive when you factor in the opponents and redshirt situation.
Don't forget that Cael made a World Team while still in college.
And to be thorough, let's note that to make that World team while in college, Cael had to beat Eggum in the finals.
To make the World team after his jr year, Dake would've had to beat the reigning World gold medalist Jordan
Burroughs.
True, but Dake didn't lose to Burroughs while trying to make the team, he lost to Paulson. Eggum went on to win the World silver medal after Cael beat him to make the team. If Dake had lost to Burroughs, then that would be a very important point.

These are the Facts.
-Cael never lost
-Dake lost 4 times
And it pretty much ends there...
**For the sake of debate. Dakes biggest hype of his accomplishment is, "winning the title in four different weight classes."
In Dakes case he talks about how going up each year was the BIGGEST motivational factor for him.
As a former 3 style wrestler through college, it is not easy to defend a weight class. You put an enormous amount of strain on your body, but even more so mentally through weight cutting, through on and off season. Even though I compliment Dakes ability to think outside the box, and not allow himself fall victim to poor coaching to "stay in the same weight", this was actually a key component to him being able to win 4. Young adults continue growing until the age of 23-25 even. He kept the edge through 4 titles by allowing room for physical growth and eliminated deprivation, in addition to maintaining mental and psychological health.
With that said, it is harder to win 4 titles in the same weight, than it is to go up a little every year.
Also he was in the lighter/middle weights which allowed this without such big jumps and demand for increased strength gains. Example: Cael going 184-197 = 13 pound jump, wheres as Dake incrementally increased 8/lbs per season 3 times. With that said we are going to begin to see alot of Freshman/Sophmores adopting this same strategy.
On another note: Dake is a very well rounded, determined, young, and motivated kid. From listening to him speak, I don't see the depth that we've seen from alot of the past greats, but his accomplishments are great for the sport. If I were his parent/mentor I would get him involved up at Cornell in some public speaking/leadership classes.
If you're looking for someone to "compare" to sanderson, they would have to.
A. Go undefeated in college &
B. Win an Olympic Gold Medal
On an overall level as to compare Sanderson/Gable etc, they would then have to go on for example where Sanderson has won 3 of 4 National Titles (he's just getting started).
It's unlikely any of us will ever see this while were alive. But it could....? :)
romesone 7
more "accomplished" ?? LOL.. no one is more decorated as a college wrestler than Cael. Seriously, who are some of you trying to convince??
Guys....Cael lost. Not freestyle, not offseason. He lost in-season to a college wrestler while he was at Iowa State. It happened. If you want to say Cael is better than Dake, you have every right. But don't act like that match didn't happen just because he was red shirting, something Dake never did.
I posted this in the other Dake - Cael thread and thought I would repost it here:
In wrestling, the redshirt is merely an accounting trick.
Does any college wrestler have an official college win over Cael or Over Dake? The answer is yes to both. Does Cael have an official loss? No. Redshirts can impact the seasons and careers of other college wrestlers (their matches are factored into NCAA qualification), however, the redshirt has no risk and can actually manipulate the seasons and qualifications of others without penalty (they are not considered attached collegiates). This is my biggest issue with the rules.
Looking at their first season, Dake had two losses wrestling as a starter against other team's starters in duals and wrestling a top flight schedule that included events like Vegas and the National Duals. Cael wrestled mainly a regional open schedule. The typical starter wrestles in no more than two opens a year leaving the bulk of the entrants being backups and redshirts (or non-D1 wrestlers).
Was Cael's story of being undefeated great for the promotion of the sport? Yes. Did it make his brand that has allowed him to easily recruit? Yes. Was he a better collegiate than Dake? Maybe, or maybe not. It is tough when you have Taylor who seems to be as dominant as Cael was but yet Dake just finds ways to beat everyone.
Does offense win championships or does defense win championships? That seems to be the question. (Mobile)
Pathetic how suddenly people look to count what happens in a redshirt season so much. How many wins did he have that year?
Good post. Cael may very well have been the better college wrestler. But it isnt as simple as him being undefeated, because he wasnt. Either way,records dont tell the whole story. Does anyone think that Taylor is worse than every wrestler with less than 3 losses this season? I certainly do not.

Both Paulsons were pretty accomplished FS wrestlers but you are correct, Dake didn't make it to Burroughs (yet). Also, I didn't realize that Eggum would be a World silver medalist, making Cael's accomplishment impressive. Point taken.
NO. He was undefeated in NCAA competition. The funny part is that this was always common knowledge. As long as I've been on message boards and just talked wrestling with people, Cael Sanderson's name has always been synonymous with perfection because he had a perfect record. Suddenly now that Dake won 4, but had blemishes on his record, people need to dig into a RS year for Cael to bring his accomplishment down somehow? Pathetic.
HurricaneWrestling reacted to this
If you are discussing a guy that redshirted vs someone that did not, the redshirt year has to be in the discussion. We aren't talking about freestyle or exhibition or offseason. We are talking about a real college match and a real loss. More to the point, could Cael have won 4 without a redshirt like Dake did? I don't think so.
We're not talking about exhibition, but I'm sure Taylor's exhibition loss counts, right?
That's crazy. Odds are completely stacked against you. 179-0
But yet you don't think so?
Romesone - I think it has been pretty clear over the years in my posts that I am not a fan of the planned redshirt. You make the point that most wrestling fans know Cael as not being defeated in college and that is technically accurate, in the same way that Taylor was technically undefeated when entering the Southern Scuffle this season. If Dake and Taylor wouldn't have wrestled in the Scuffle you can bet ESPN and 'most' wrestling fans would be talking about the two undefeated wrestlers meeting. Though most fans would be thought wrong by those that closely follow the sport. (Mobile)
than what?? Watch them wrestle and make it a matter of opinion?? riiight
Never in the history have I seen RS wins/losses count as much as I have yesterday/today. All the sudden, they might as well get thrown into the real season record column. Heck, throw in the freestyle W/L as well!
Well even if you count the Red-Shirt year as a Loss, (which it's not). Dake still lost 3 times more than Cael... I don't even understand the point of this argument?
HuskyHero133 52
It is strange how people starting bringing this up now like nobody knew about it before. Cael knew it was a red shirt year and his opponents knew it was a red shirt year.
IF all these matches were going to count on his record I believe he would approached them differently. Even knowing his wins/losses wouldn't be counting on his NCAA record he still only lost ONCE.
Using that RS match to say he wasn't "really" undefeated is like counting practice room matches on someones record.
Side note: who was at Cael's weight at ISU when he redshirted? If Cael was so great (which he was) why did he redshirt? Did they just redshirt everyone? With only 9.9 it is a lot to have one scholarship on the bench. In Taylor's case we know, although he was a All-American and dominated a lot of guys in his redshirt season, he was third in the depth chart at 157 when the season started (Cyler and Bubba). (Mobile)

I thought bobby Douglas pretty much just redshirted everyone their first year, as a matter of policy.
Do you realize that most of the decision making is not the student athletes? There are coaches for good reason. They are the shot callers. I'm sure Cael would have loved to compete without a RS if he had the choice.
Losing to a guy in the finals of a legitimate college tourney is like losing in the practice room? Cael was in one of his first tourney finals as a freshman but he didn't try because he was thinking of his official record? Please. A tourney final when you are a freshman is a bigger match than some meaningless lopsided dual against Binghamton when you are already an NCAA champ.
How does the finals of the UNI tourney matter less than a dual your team won by 30?


Many parents struggle with getting their toddlers to sleep. It not only impacts the toddler, but mom, dad, and other siblings. I do not consider my children's sleep to be a problem. That doesn't mean that they never wake up and it doesn't mean that there are not tough nights here and there, but on the whole I get enough rest and my kids get enough rest.
Over the next five days I'd like to share tips for getting babies and toddler to sleep better without using the cry it out approach. There are additional tips and resources in the original article from which this was excerpted, but let's get started here and please chime in with your questions, comments, and suggestions for gentle ways to get babies and toddlers to sleep.
Children need time to calm down and prepare for sleep. Having a consistent bedtime routine can be useful in giving the child cues that sleep time is coming. There are likely things that you do each night before bed, such as putting on pajamas, brushing teeth, reading bedtime story, nursing or rocking, and so on. Try to do those things in the same order to help your child understand what is coming next and learn to calm down through that process. You may also want to have a few routines that you alternate. For example, one routine for bath night and another one for other nights. One for weekdays and one for weekends. One that involves Daddy and one that involves Mommy. Having these alternate routines can help keep things smooth on nights when things need to change up a bit (e.g. one parent isn't there, you are visiting friends, a favourite book is missing, etc.) Also, create a calming environment during the bedtime routine. For example, turn off any bright lights (dimmers are great), television, and loud noises at least an hour before bedtime (ideally no television in several hours leading up to bedtime if you allow television at all). Consider building a massage into your bedtime routine.


In neonates presenting with a non-immune haemolytic anaemia, a high index of suspicion is raised for hereditary red cell membrane disorders. The distinction between red cell membrane disorders, however, is often difficult in neonates in the absence of a complete family history. We describe a case of a 26-day-old female twin who presented with jaundice and severe haemolysis, which required multiple red cell transfusions. Laboratory investigations revealed a non-immune haemolysis. Red cell membrane extraction and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, including spectrin analysis, revealed the presence of mutant spectrin αI/74. A diagnosis of hereditary elliptocytosis with transient infantile poikilocytosis was favoured. On follow-up at 4 months, a decline in haemolysis was observed.


QUIK-MARK™ INVERTED MARKING CHALK is newly designed to last 30 days or more dependent on conditions and applications on common outdoor surfaces. Ideal for the temporary marking of roads, pavement, gravel, soil and grass. Marking Chalk can be easily removed from hard surfaces with a wire brush and water. Available in solvent and water based technologies.


A group of allies has created a petition to Premier Wynne and the Ontario Legislature, that can be shared electronically concerning the Huronia, Rideau and SouthWestern Regional Centre class action settlements. They are asking that the government pay legal costs so that there will be more money available for the people who were harmed in these institutions.
The total amount payable at present in the 3 settlements - all combined - comes to $67.7 million.
The Fairness Hearing regarding Rideau and Southwestern will be held February 24th. and 25th. This is a process similar to that which took place for Huronia, on December 3rd at which the judge will determine if the settlement should be approved by the court.
As well, the judge will decide what fees should be paid to the lawyers for all three settlements, during the Fee Hearing part of the process on February 25th.
There was a great show of support among and for Huronia survivors in court in December.Please consider coming to show the judge and media your support for all 3 class actions.
The claims process is not likely to begin until Spring. The Rideau and Southwestern actions need time to "catch up" to Huronia so that all 3 can proceed together.
We suggest that people will feel more confident about making a claim if they obtain their institution files first. It can also help them put together more of the details of their time there.
The terms of the settlement instruct the claims reviewers to believe the claimants' own version of what happened to them, although there is a provision that the government might later search for evidence to contradict them, in the institution file.
Seldom will those records say that abuse happened and it is highly unlikely that anything is written to say abuse did NOT happen.

NordVPN enables users to unblock geo-restricted Kodi add-ons through its large network of 5000+ high-speed servers. It is a Panama based VPN provider that has earned great reputation in the cybersecurity industry. It has been in the game for more than 10 years now and it is considered one of the tyrants in the VPN industry.
Using Kodi without a VPN is a risky thing, which is why I recommend users to opt for NordVPN for Kodi. The reason behind this recommendation is that it is one of the few best VPN for Kodi.
Is NordVPN Compatible with Kodi?
NordVPN is no doubt one of the biggest names on the industry because of its service provision and great variety of servers across the globe. Not every VPN provider can be chosen as the best VPN for Kodi or online streaming. This is mainly because many VPN providers fail to provide the bandwidth required for seamless streaming.
However, NordVPN has great servers all around the world as they provide great downloading and uploading speed, enabling users to enjoy streaming. The security protocols followed by NordVPN are of high quality and it has strict no logs policy. NordVPN has received great praise from its users throughout the years.
There are more than 100 VPN providers all over the world but only a few are able to compete with NordVPN in terms of service and features. NordVPN supports online streaming that is why it has some of the most amazing features, which an online streamer desires.
Though this downloading and uploading speed recorded seems to be low but that's because I was testing on a 2 Mbps connection. I did not face any buffering issues or interruptions while streaming.
The most important thing to check in a best VPN for Kodi is that it should not have a DNS or IP leak. If it is leaking your IP or DNS, then there is no point of using it because that means it has a weak encryption protocol. We tested NordVPN for Kodi while streaming and no IP or DNS leak were found.
This proves that NordVPN for Kodi is a perfect choice and we can rely on it.
As I mentioned before that a VPN is needed for unblocking geo-restricted Kodi add-ons. So I tried to unblock cCloud TV with NordVPN on Kodi and I was successful without any issue.
The streaming speed was good despite the fact that I have a low speed internet connection. I encountered no buffering or lagging issues and the I was able to access the complete add-on library.
NordVPN is compatible with Kodi but it does not have a dedicated Kodi add-on. You might stumble upon some blogs and setup guides, mentioning dedicated NordVPN Kodi add-on but they are all misleading you. There is no such dedicated Kodi add-on as they state, NordVPN is installed on the device and runs in the background when you're using Kodi.
It does not interrupt streaming at all and provides instant access to the geo-restricted Kodi add-ons without any issue.
Go to Google Play Store and search for NordVPN.
Click on the first search result that will be NordVPN: Best VPN Fast, Secure & Unlimited.
Click Install to start downloading the app. Once the app is downloaded, installation will start.
Now, click Sign-In > Enter your login Username and Password and then click Sign-in.
Now you will see a map having pins marked, these are all the available server locations. Click on the location pin that you want to connect. Like, if you wat to connect to UK, then click on its pin. When you click on the pin, you will see a green "YES" button, click on it to connect.
A dialog box will appear, asking if you trust this application, check mark I trust this application and click OK.
Once you have installed NordVPN on your Android device and connected to a server, open Kodi and start secure streaming. If you do not have Kodi installed on your device then visit our guide: "How to Install/Setup Kodi on Android Devices".
Go to NordVPN Subscription page, choose your plan and register yourself for the service.
Download NordVPN windows desktop client > after downloading, install the windows client on your desktop.
Open the NordVPN client after installation and login to the service by using the credentials provided to you by NordVPN.
Once you have logged in, you will see all the server locations list on the left hand.
Click on your desired server location and you will be connected to a server from that region.
Minimize the desktop client after connecting to the server, launch Kodi on Windows and start streaming your favorite content. " How to Install Kodi on Windows".
Alas, VPN manager no longer supports NordVPN due to their constant server changes. Many Kodi users have been affected by this and many geeks have tried to find out workarounds to resolve this issue. However, no one has been successful in finding a solution for this problem.
Nevertheless, you can still use NordVPN for Kodi by installing it on your device and running it in the background while using Kodi. There is no big difference; the service quality remains same, whether you use the app in the background or through VPN manager on Kodi.
FireStick is a revolutionary device in the online streaming industry and the fact that we can use Kodi on it makes it more interesting. However, you will still need a VPN to unblock geo-restricted Kodi add-ons.
Follow our "NordVPN for FireStick" guide and learn step by step installation and other things related to NordVPN on FireStick. We have covered some users' reviews over there as well, to help you get a clear picture.
User reviews provide a clear glimpse of the ground realities in the industry. Look at these reviews and decide whether you want to use NordVPN or not.
This user seems to be quite frustrated; maybe his streams are restricted, as he has mentioned IPTV services. That is the reason I recommend using a VPN, to stay away from throttling and restriction issues.
Kodi (thru a VPN…i prefer Nord VPN) lets you stream pirated content for free, anonymously. Seriously…you can watch anything. People upload stuff right away. I'm amazed the media companies haven't done ddos attacks to disable the service.
Here's a satisfied user praising NordVPN that it unblocks all the streams but at the same time he has questioned the authorities about the action against pirated streams.
Choosing a VPN for streaming is a little tricky because every other provider out there claims to be the best but once you use them, you get to see in how deep waters they are. Not every VPN provider can be trusted, as many cases of data logging have been reported against a few providers.
NordVPN is a reliable name in the industry as it has served millions of users and no such complaints have surfaced against it. Secondly, NordVPN provides great encryption protocol and a large number of servers across the world. It has top of the line features that suit the needs of streaming geeks pretty well. I recommend you people to try NordVPN for Kodi and trust me you would not regret it. It is an optimal choice for streaming lovers.

This weekend marks the official return of football season! We're huge Houston Texans fans, so we're eagerly waiting for the game to kickoff at noon Sunday! Of course, football season also means serving lots of tasty homegating appetizers and finger foods for us to munch on while we're cheering for the Texans. This week, #SundaySupper bloggers are sharing Football Party Finger Food that's guaranteed to have your friends and family satisfied from kickoff until the end of the fourth quarter. I'm sharing a simple, tasty finger food that can be made in about 30 minutes.
My Tortilla-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Salsa-Ranch Dipping Sauce feature a spicy crunchy tortilla chip coating, juicy chicken breast, and a simple homemade salsa-ranch dip. Everyone who tries these chicken strips goes crazy for them. I like to use nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips, but feel free to use any flavor of tortilla chips that your group loves. Taco flavored tortilla chips are also really yummy!
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside while you prep the chicken tenders. Sprinkle the chicken tenders with adobo seasoning on both sides. Crush the tortilla chips in a zip-top bag -- you should end up with 2 cups of crushed chips. Place the crushed tortilla chips in a shallow dish.
Add the eggs, milk, hot sauce, and a bit of salt & pepper to a small bowl. Whisk well to combine. Dip the chicken tenders in the egg wash, then coat them with with the crushed tortilla chips. Arrange the tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping the tenders over halfway through baking.
Step 2: While the chicken tenders bake, make the dipping sauce. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, ranch seasoning, and cilantro in a small mixing bowl. Stir to completely combine and spoon into a decorative serving bowl. Note: the dip can be made up to 24 hours ahead if desired.
Step 3: When the chicken tenders are finished cooking, arrange them on a serving platter. Serve the chicken tenders with the dipping sauce on the side...along with some beverages served in team logo cups!
These baked chicken tenders are simple to make, but they feature robust, big flavors that we love! The tortilla chip coating ensures that the tenders bake up super crunchy -- and the mildly spicy dipping sauce pairs perfectly with the the tortilla chip coating. Even better, the salsa-ranch sauce pulls double duty as a delicious dip for any chips you have on your snack table!
Wait until you see all of the fabulous football finger foods that this week's #SundaySupper participants are sharing...there's literally something for all the football fans in your circle of family and friends!

NBA All-Star Game
2013 NBA All-Star voting: Washington Wizards going unrepresented so far in voting
As of right now, not a single member of the 3-16 Washington Wizards have received enough votes to be considered for the NBA All-Star Game.
By Jason Garrison Dec 13, 2012, 4:43pm EST
Share All sharing options for: 2013 NBA All-Star voting: Washington Wizards going unrepresented so far in voting
Scott Halleran
While players like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett and Chris Bosh are soaking up vast amounts of votes to play in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game, Jordan Crawford, Bradley Beal and others from the Washington Wizards are getting next to none. James leads the Eastern Conference, and the entire league, in votes with 641,348 and Jrue Holiday brings up the rear in the Eastern Conference with 35,193 votes.
Voting won't end until Jan. 14, but as of now, there are zero Wizards players on the list, which is mostly comprised of players from the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets with a couple players peppered in from the Atlanta Hawks and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Wizards aren't alone, though. The Orlando Magic, Charlotte Bobcats, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors are all teams who have been left behind when it comes to All-Star voting.
Of the teams with no players receiving any votes, there is only one team without a losing record (Indiana is at .500 with an 11-11 record), and Cleveland is the only team with a losing record to have players (Anderson Varejao and Kyrie Irving) that have received a decent amount of votes.
To vote, you can go to NBA.com, you can text a players' last name to MYNBA (6-9-6-2-2), or you can vote via Twitter or Facebook. Starters will be announced on Jan. 17.


We supported Church Action on Poverty for a number of reasons: It has a strong track record for achieving positive social change and the issue being addressed forms a close fit with our interest in social injustice. The work presented a practical approach to a major problem, the 'poverty premium', by identifying approaches that work for those from low socio-economic backgrounds. Our funding allowed CAP to research, develop and test affordable and appropriate models that could be replicated widely.
For Stockport Homes, working with Church Action on Poverty (CAP) has meant we can now roll out our successful 'Your Local Pantry' model to other low-income communities across Greater Manchester and nationally through the Pantry Social Franchise that CAP have developed with us.
CAP are providing us, and suppliers of fair credit for 'Everyday Essentials' (such as Fair for You) with an effective and targeted marketing strategy which gets our offer straight to the people who need and appreciate it most, and have opened up the opportunity of putting the two initiatives together to offer a joined-up community-led solution to the poverty premium in food, furniture, white goods and other everyday essentials.
Member of Brinnington Local Pantry, Stockport.
The pantry is a lifeline for me; I don't have much money. If I didn't have this I would not have food on some days, there's many a time I would have gone without.
