From mid-summer of 2016 to early 2017 I was struggling with ongoing back pain. I didn't feel entirely like myself because I am such an active person and so I think that I was in a bit of a depression. I have a friend who was encouraging me to try swimming as a low-impact way to be active, and finally I made the leap and booked lessons for May and June with Toronto Recreation. I was pretty happy when my roommate Susan later decided to sign up with me for the same class! We signed up for Adult Swim 2, but by the end of our first lesson we had graduated to Adult Swim 3! Susan and I were in luck because the third person who was supposed to be in our class dropped out and so it was like we had our own personal instructor! We refined our swim strokes, learned egg-beater, learned how to stride jump, and practiced diving. Susan was already a fairly strong swimmer, but learning to dive was a huge step for her because as a kid she had an ear infection and so never put her head underwater. I on the other hand was very comfortable with diving, but had to work at refining my swim strokes. Breast stroke was the hardest for me to learn, probably because I had to unlearn the wrong way of doing it! We also made first attempts at trying Butterfly! We were likely doing it all wrong (the instructor didn't know it well and it wasn't in the requirements for Adult Swim 3), but it was very fun to try and get a feeling for it! We also tried the somersault that swimmers do to turn around at the end of the pool.
I have not yet shared the funniest part of the story. When Susan and I had signed up for the lessons, we both needed new bathing suits and I needed goggles and a swim cap. We both ended up liking the same Speedo swimsuit we found at SportChek, and decided that we didn't care if we were matching. We joked around that we could come into the swimming lessons pretending that we were freakishly close besties who intentionally dressed like twins, or else that we were two strangers who didn't know each other and who upon seeing each other were appalled that the other had worn the same thing. We couldn't help but document our roomie adventure by taking a photo in our matching swim suits in the dated change room (note the very bizarre ducts behind that we wondered if whether they were blow dryers)! Susan was also so proud of her diving that we decided take a video during our last lesson… and since we were already matching, we couldn't help but make up a short synchronized dive sequence. It even included the "dab" move that Susan taught me is all the rage with her students. What a great memory of doing this together! What's more is that it has become such a normal part of my week that I have managed to continue it by going to a drop-in lane swim on Wednesday nights. I am very proud of myself for finally doing something that I had talked about doing for so long! Next goal: do a sprint triathlon!

Boston 2.0
Shadow play on the Stata Center
At nine in the morning I headed back to where the Highline begins because it turned out that is where Megabus picks up their passengers. It took a while to get on the bus and then out of Manhattan because of traffic. I did not arrive in Boston until 3 o-clock! Part of me felt silly for going to Boston because I wasted a perfectly good day, but I was determined to make the most of it! The last time I was in Boston was when I had an amazing couch-surfing experience during my solo trip to visit graduate schools. It helped that I already had a good idea of where to go once I arrived at the bus station. From the South Station I hopped on the subway to Kendall station in Cambridge and met Andrea, Kristie, and Christian who are colleagues I know from my work at PBAI. They generously took time to show me the MIT MediaLab and the Stata Center. The MediaLab was particularly impressive because of the breadth of ideas they are exploring. The Stata lab was interesting because it is in a Frank Ghery building (apparently it has had its share of lawsuits from issues like leaks and falling ice) and the computer science research involves testing their software on robots. Kristie and Christian left early and Andrea and I went to go visit the MIT Chapel by Eero Saarinen before parting ways.
For dinner I had planned to go meet my old classmate Dan at a restaurant he had selected which was conveniently a short journey from MIT campus. I went and waited for twenty minutes at the restaurant only to learn from texting Dan that it was not a one-off restaurant and that he was at another location! I felt stupid because I should have known that the restaurant would be in Boston and not up in Cambridge! Google told me it would take a half hour to get to the other location, but I missed the bus by a hair and so it actually took over an hour. By the time I got to the restaurant it was closing and Dan was nowhere to be found! It turns out he was worried because there was apparently a THIRD location (although the one I went to turned out to be the correct one)! I told him I would just come to his house instead. So during all of this running around I got to see Boston by night. The area in South Boston where this restaurant was (the Orinoco), was very quaint with older brick homes, brick sidewalks, and lampposts that gave it a European feel. I didn't arrive at Dan's place until 9pm but we made the most with the time we had. By the time I got to his place he had already picked up some groceries so that we could make Hawaiian sloppy joes. Yum! We also had a nice time catching up on our lives.
The next morning I could sleep in a bit because I was able to let myself out after Dan was already gone to work. I walked to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum that was nearby that has an addition designed by Renzo Piano (this is the most I've seen of his work). Another reason I was interested is because I've heard it is an impressive collection and it is currently exhibiting an installation by Philip Beesley Architect Inc. that the team installed several months ago. I was sad to discover it was still closed and would not be opening for another hour yet. It was raining and I was in no mood to hang around, so I got a good look at the building from the outside (a common occurrence on this trip) and then headed off. It looked as if the whole day would be rainy and so I took the train back to the South Station, put my suitcase into short-term luggage storage, and went off to see more of Boston. This time I decided to take a suggestion from Dan which was to follow the Freedom Trail, a path through the city that brings you past historical monuments and shares some of the rich history of the city. I enjoyed the walk and also liked that it didn't require too much thinking because there was a clearly marked brick or painted brick trail on the ground and medallions that marked the special sites. I visited some of the oldest graveyards in Boston, churches that had box pews that were owned by congregants (I had never seen churches designed that way before), and meeting houses where big historical events happened like meetings of the Boston Tea Party that were the beginnings of the American Revolution. I saw the house of Paul Revere who was a silversmith, engraver, and industrialist, but is most known for his midnight ride to alert the colonial militia of the approach of the British before the battles of Lexington and Concord. Lastly I crossed the Charles River to Charlestown to see the Bunker Hill Monument, erected between 1825 and 1843 to commemorate the battle of Bunker Hill that was fought there in 1775, and the USS Constitution, a navel vessel from 1797.
I had an hour left before I had to leave for the airport and so I decided to go quickly back up to Cambridge to see the Sean Collier Memorial on the MIT campus. It was built in 2015 in the honour of Sean Collier who was a police officer killed in the line of duty while pursuing the suspects of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. I heard about this project by a lecture at ACADIA by the designer J. Meejin Yoon who is also a professor and department head of architecture at MIT. It follows a star shape that represents an open hand, and the walls act as buffers from the street and draw you into the monument and also locate the site of the shooting. The stone walls of the star act as buttresses that lift up a thin stone vault in the centre. The details of how it was made are quite fascinating as they involved age-old techniques partnered with digital fabrication technology. I think that the arrangement of the space and use of material have informed a meaningful experience for people passing through. I was glad I went to check it out. Even though it made me more nervous about cutting things too close at the airport, it turned out that my flight ended up being delayed anyways!

New York City 2.0
The next day I got up early to pull my things together and head over to my friend Jean's place who studied and now works in New York. I took the subway to the upper west side of Manhattan and found her at her apartment. It was nice to see a familiar face! We chatted for about an hour catching up and she made me some recommendations of things to see. My goal for the day was to nerdishly visit a list of buildings that have been constructed since I was last in New York back in 2012. And so off I went! I started in the North Manhattan at the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center (they really need a nickname for it), by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DSR). I tried and failed to get inside but even from the outside I was impressed by the custom shaped concrete panels. I think that the building stands in interesting contrast to the uniform brick buildings that surround it. Next I took the subway down to the Columbia campus and saw the Jerome L. Greene Science Center by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. I liked the details of the building (What RPBW is known for), but didn't think the building itself had much presence. Then I took the train again to 63rd station and walked a while to see West 57 by Bjarke Ingels Group. I tried to sneak in to see the courtyard but was stopped by security *sigh*. The building looks impressive from the outside, but for me it is the ground level and the spaces on the interior that truly make a building and so I couldn't make much critique of it. The slanted roof was definitely in need of a wash!

From there I walked to the start of the Highline. I had been there back in 2012 when the project was still quite new, and was pleased to see that it had aged well. I was very impressed by how mature and full the plantings were. Along the Highline there is extensive new development and I stopped at the Shed by DSR that is still under construction. It is a project that I was introduced to at a lecture by Elizabeth Diller herself at ACADIA last year. I had to peak through the construction netting to get glimpses of the structure and what I saw looked very cool! The raw structure of the shed roof is complete and looks great, and I could also get a glimpse of the large wheels that will allow the it to roll off the building and over the adjacent plaza. I still can't believe how far DSR got with that concept and that it is becoming a built reality! I wanted to take the subway again to get down to the World Trade Center but had to walk three stops because stations were closed. By the time I got there I was pretty tired out! I accidentally came across the World Trade Center Transportation Hub by Calatrava on my way to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. The space was beautifully lit up with light and the people in all colours stood in stark contrast to the crisp white of every surface! I only saw the museum from the outside (that will have to wait for another time), but was very interested to see the memorial that had still been under construction back in 2012. The voids speak very powerfully; however, it was strange to see those big, deep holes, see those thousands of names, and have crowds of tourists chatting around you and taking pictures.
The gigantic wheels of the Shed!

The last place I went to was a suggestion from Jean. She recommended I go to Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island designed by Louis Kahn. She also recommended I take the Roosevelt Island Tramway. The tramway was such an amazing way to look back on the city and see the Queensboro Bridge! I was so tired that I tried to take a bus that drove up with the hope that it would eventually go to the park (the island is not that big). Unfortunately it headed North but I took it as a time to rest as I knew it would eventually turn around and head back. When it reached the northern tip I had to switch buses. At one of the stops on the way back an older man got on the bus that looked so familiar to me and I didn't know why at first. But as I looked at him more I realized that he was the pastor of Redeemer Church in New York whose name was escaping me! I thought of going to say hello, but thought it would be silly since I could not for the life of me recall his name! It only confirmed who he was when it looked like another stranger came up and started talking to him. When we arrived back at the tramway station and we had gotten off, I then realized that it was Tim Keller and likely his wife. But by that point he was getting on the Tramway and I still wanted to go see this park. So I had my first ever celebrity citing… if you could call it that!
The park turned out to be a nice reprieve from the urban bustle. There were only a handful of people and I enjoyed the monolithic forms of marble. The sun was getting lower in the sky and lit up the skyline. I enjoyed the whole experience (the sloping walls, the lines of trees), but did not like how the park terminated at the southern tip. It ended at a thick stone guardrail when the form really wanted to extend as a pier or slope into the water. As much as I would've liked to stay their longer, I had agreed to meet Jean at the Metropolitan Museum at 7:30pm. I took the tramway again, and from there decided to walk to the museum and look for something to eat on the way. I found an amazing bagel place called Pick a Bagel and ordered a delicious reuben sandwich on a bagel. I took it and ate it on a bench by the museum and it was sooo good… probably one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had! When it was time to meet Jean I moved to the steps of the museum. While I waited I got to enjoy some music by a street musician who was playing the saxophone. He played wonderfully and there were two little girls who were dancing to it. It was such a beautiful scene to take in. When Jean arrived we went directly to the roof because we wanted to see the sun set from there. We couldn't have picked a better place or time. There was an amazing sculptural exhibit of life size sculptures. The sculptures, paired with the setting sun, the vines and hedge, and the people chatting, created a dreamlike atmosphere. We discovered that the sculptures are replicas copied from pieces in the art in the museum and then reconfigured to create a new scene. It felt like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Jean and I walked around and took in the scene and the park and skyline beyond! We then headed back into the museum to see an exhibit presenting the work of avant-guarde fashion designer Rei Kawakubo. We had just enough time to see most of the exhibit before the museum was closing.

You would think that I had done enough already, but the day was not yet over. Jean and I walked through a quiet and dark Central Park (which I had been accidentally calling High Park over and over again…. you're welcome Toronto!) to get to a bar she had in mind in the Upper West Side where we could chill and talk some more. This was the first time I had been to Central Park at night and it was so peaceful. By sheer luck we passed by the portico at the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. I had seen it before in the daytime, but at night it is lit up in such a way that the amazing pattern of ceiling tiles are put on display and makes you experience the space in a whole new way. It was beautiful! We didn't end up getting to that first bar because we got sidetracked when Jean discovered that I had not yet seen Lincoln Square. So off we went to a plaza that I had walked by earlier that morning but had not gone to explore. It is a complex of three monumental, concrete clad buildings that are the musical hub of New York. There were things I liked and didn't like about some of the buildings (the Opera House tried too hard to refer to an older architectural style). My preferred building on the square was the New York City Ballet that had a balcony where people on intermission from the show were looking over the courtyard with the fountain at its center. DSR did a redesign of the public spaces back in 2009 including an area with trees and lit benches, and the Hypar Pavilion that had a sloping grass roof. Jean and I went to the Italian restaurant that occupies the pavilion and treated ourselves to expensive drinks and dessert. From there we took the subway home and I was exhausted but very content. Part of me wished I had planned to stay longer in New York, but at the same time was very excited to visit friends and see Boston again!

@advodna_ann and I have always considered 9/6 to be our "dativersary," but I didn't realize that was today until we'd finally pulled into camp at dusk after a looooong drive that ended with a tense exchange concerning directions followed by several minutes of stewing silence. I couldn't help but feel ashamed at how things had broken down on this important day for us. . But taking a slightly broader look... Today, we woke up in a foreign country after pulling into camp at dark following a two hour ferry ride last night with our two awesome children with whom we've been traveling and experiencing North America for the past two years while sharing a living space of under 200 sq ft 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the past 12 hours, we've gotten them fed and clothed, stopped for more art supplies, donated a big bag of extra clothes, driven 2 hrs across an international border, stocked up on groceries for the week, driven 2 hrs along Highway 1 on the northern Maine coast, stopped at a home improvement store to check out kitchen countertop samples for the remodel we're managing from the road and gotten our tiny house setup at one of America's most beautiful National Parks. . For certain, we're due for a debrief this evening once the kids are asleep to figure out what that little "fightlet" in the car was *really* about, but all told, I think it was a pretty exceptional 10 year "dativersary," and I can't wait to see what the next year brings. Thanks @13roads for the pic.

ONDCP Releases Data on Coca Cultivation and Production in Peru
Written by Office of National Drug Control Policy
Washington, DC - Today the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) released the results of the annual U.S. Government estimates measuring coca cultivation and potential cocaine production for the Republic of Peru.
Pure potential cocaine production in Peru remained elevated at 52,100 hectares. We remain supportive of the Peruvian government's increased focus on eradication in Puno and the valley of the three rivers Apurimac, Ene, and Mantaro (VRAEM), which remains elevated.
Peru Coca Cultivation 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Cultivation (Hectares) 50,500 59,500 46,500 53,000 44,000 49,800 52,100
Production Potential (Metric Tons) 307 359 353 409 409 486 509
"The ongoing coca cultivation in Peru and across the Andean Region of South America remains a significant threat to the United States. As part of the Trump Administration's whole-of-government approach to the addiction crisis, we will continue to support our partners in Peru to curb cultivation and production in critical growing regions. We are committed to bringing those who profit off the international drug trade to justice to help accomplish our goal of saving lives," ONDCP Director Jim Carroll said.
According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) – the most recent year for which data is available – the number of current cocaine users in America increased to 1.9 million, a 27 percent increase from 1.53 million in 2014. The same 2018 survey did reveal a positive statistic indicating a decrease in the number of Americans who initiated cocaine use in the past year to 874,000, down from 1.085 million in 2016. Cocaine-involved overdose deaths rose 173 percent from 2014 (5,415 deaths) to 2018 (14,762) a 6 percent rise from 2017 (CDC 2018 Provisional data).

If I use the "top" command, there doesn't appear to be any obvious process that's using up memory. Java is the highest but that's for UniFi, but only installed that yesterday. The increasing memory usage was happening before that. I use Raspbian for the OS, don't think that would have a memory leak but could be possible. If memory was released when needed, which it may do, it wouldn't be so bad. The Pi just seems to become very sluggish eventually. Nothing that a reboot doesn't sort though.
I've been using pihole for a bit now.
I'd say it's main value is educational. Just tail the log of DNS traffic.
yes, it blocks lots of stuff you don't want to see.
What translations are being cached where? Locally, router, pi, somewhere else?
I seem to hit "sweet spots", where everything is behaving like I want.
Then something happens, and some important website is giving me interminable GDPR screens.
Could be anything. Maybe something to do with quantserve, who knows... .
Or something else .. life is short. There might be better fish to fry.
If something is leaking memory, what about a script that kills certain offending processes selectively at certain times?


In a letter, dated January 6, 1797, now before the writer, addressed by Mr Tatham to a friend who desired to be informed of the great things which the Lord had done at Nottingham, a very interesting narrative of the gracious visitation, referred to by Mrs Tatham, is supplied. That visitation began with the labours of Mr Taylor, from Sheffield, on the occasion of his coming to open a chapel at Basford, near Nottingham. Mr Tatham heard him with great attention, and was struck with his conversation in company, as well as with his preaching, and saw the excellency of becoming a little child for Christ's sake, though (as he says) he knew not how to be made one. At that time a general excitement was shared by the leaders or office-bearers of the Nottingham society, and a special public prayer-meeting was established in the Halifax-place chapel on Wednesday evenings, with a view to the now desired and expected prosperity of the work of God. At a love-feast held at that time in Nottingham, a powerful influence was experienced, and the general impression was much heightened, by the remarkable energy and pathos with which a soldier, who was trumpet-major to the 3rd Dragoon Guards, related his Christian experience. At a similar meeting, held about the same time in a neighbouring village, Mr. Tatham, who had not spoken on such an occasion for ten years, was constrained to open his lips with the words, "The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live," when a flame of Divine love was kindled amongst the people.
At the domestic altar in Mr Tatham's house the fire from heaven descended, and seasons of great solemnity and refreshing were experienced. On one morning, in particular, when reading the 2nd chapter of Acts, he was peculiarly blessed, and whilst engaged in prayer, such a baptism of the Spirit was poured out, that it seemed as if the day of Pentecost were come a second time, insomuch, that his tongue broke forth in unknown strains, and sang surprising grace. Though naturally timid, and restrained by the fear of man, this grace could not be concealed from his brother officers in the church. After a sermon by Mr. S. Bardsley, under which Mr T. was filled with joy and peace in believing, and after the usual business of the leaders' meeting that followed had been transacted, he was at length enabled to overcome all restraints, and to communicate an account of his own happy state, and called upon others to testify if they too felt the love of God in their hearts.
Upon this, many who were present became sensibly affected, and Mr Bardsley, the minister that presided, engaged in prayer, when the heavens opened, and the Spirit of God descended upon them: and Mr Tatham, whose aversion to loud praying had previously amounted almost to disgust, was so carried out in agonizing prayer for twenty minutes, that he knew not in what tone of voice his supplications were uttered. Several were melted into tears, and broke forth into such a general confession of sin as was truly affecting, and were filled with the love of Jesus, and with love to one another: so much so, that one of them, feeling himself the next day so unspeakably happy as to be utterly disposed to attend to business, took his horse and rode upon the forest, singing praises to God. On the Wednesday evening following, at the prayer-meeting, which had increased from about thirty (the number that attended at its commencement) to about two hundred, the wonders of grace which God had wrought amongst the leaders were declared to the people, and several backsliders were restored to the joy of God's salvation.

In 1797 there was a big split and the New Connexion kicked out the Wesleyan supporters out of the church.


In summary, getting personal loans isn't usually too hard if you've kept your credit in good health. Even if you don't have a high credit score, you can still usually find options that work for you. The main thing you want to have when getting a loan is a plan to pay it off, so you aren't racking up too much interest and you can keep your credit score up. If you don't have one, consider starting a personal budget.

Media Release 19 August 2014 – Adelaide forum to look at continuing crisis of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children being removed from their families
Adelaide forum to look at continuing crisis of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children being removed from their families
A forum in Adelaide on 27 August will bring together Aboriginal community representatives and key players in South Australia's child welfare sector to look at local solutions to address the soaring number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care in the state.
SNAICC Chairperson Sharron Williams — who is also CEO of Aboriginal Family Support Services in South Australia — said the Adelaide forum would look at the factors that contribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in South Australia representing 30 per cent of all children in out-of-home care, while comprising only 3.5 per cent of the state's child population.
"The number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care has grown at an alarming rate in the past decade across Australia, and South Australia is no exception. In South Australia in June 2013, there were 788 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care — a figure that has tripled since 2003," Ms Williams said.
"Across Australia in the past decade a distinct pattern has emerged: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families have experienced a disproportionate and growing contact with the child protection system, including notifications and substantiations of child abuse and neglect, and children being removed from their families.
"This is an alarming and totally unacceptable situation. We need to take urgent action and consider different approaches — based on greater Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation — to arrest this worrying escalation in numbers and ensure the best outcomes for our children and families.
"Like other jurisdictions, South Australia has had major inquiries into the child protection system in the past decade — but little follow-up action on the recommendations.
"We are still burdened with a system that is not meeting the needs of our vulnerable children and families, is not doing enough to keep families together, nor enough to keep children in care connected with their family and culture," Ms Williams said.
"The child protection system is expensive, under great stress and geared too heavily towards supporting children and families once the damage is done. We need to rethink the whole approach, so that we provide more support to strengthen the capacity of families to care safely for children.
"At present, governments across Australia are spending huge sums on child protection and out-of-home care — these totalled $3.2 billion in 2013 — and about a fifth of that amount on prevention and early intervention programs and intensive family support services. If governments redress this funding imbalance, it will lead to better outcomes in child protection and savings in other areas.
"And if children need to be removed from their families, more needs to be done to ensure they retain their connection to family and culture and are re-united with their family as soon as possible. This must be a priority if we are to provide a better platform for vulnerable children to grow strong and realise their full potential."
The Adelaide forum will explore local community-driven solutions and ways in which Aboriginal families and organisations can be empowered to improve the safety and wellbeing of children and have a greater say in decision-making at all stages of the child protection process.
A major topic for discussion will be the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle (ATSICPP), which is embedded in South Australia's Children's Protection Act (1993). The principle features in policy or legislation in all jurisdictions across the country, but in South Australia does not include any provision for the participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in child protection processes — a core aim of the ATSICPP since its inception in the 1980s.
In South Australia, the principle is applied narrowly and specifies the involvement of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander agency in placement decisions and judicial decision-making.
Speakers at the Adelaide forum include Sonia Waters, Director of Aboriginal Services, Anglicare SA; Ian Hunter, SA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation; Professor Fiona Arney, Chairperson of the Council for the Care of Children; Pam Simmons, Guardian for Children and Young People; Simon Schrapel, Chief Executive, Uniting Communities, and Professor Robyn Layton, School of Law, University of South Australia.
The forum, to be held at The Hotel Grand Chancellor, is part of a national initiative, titled Family Matters — Kids Safe in Culture, Not in Care, being undertaken by SNAICC in partnership with several other major child welfare agencies. Forum partners are Aboriginal Family Support Services, the South Australian Council of Social Service, Uniting Communities, and Child and Family Welfare Association.
SNAICC and partner agencies will also hold a community meeting at Port Augusta to consult on out-of-home care issues in the Port Augusta region and other regional and remote areas of South Australia. The meeting will be held at the Indigenous Coordination Centre (34 Stirling Road, Port Augusta) on Friday, 29 August.
Media inquiries: Frank Hytten, SNAICC CEO, (0432) 345 652; Gemma Unwin, Family Matters Manager (0423) 696 880 Giuseppe Stramandinoli, SNAICC Media Officer, (0419) 508 125

Apopka turns out at vigil for Orlando mass shooting victim Eddie Justice
by Monivette Cordeiro
Photo by Monivette Cordeiro
About 100 people came to pray, light candles and mourn in Apopka for the life of Eddie Jamoldroy Justice, one of the 49 people killed last weekend in the mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse.
Justice, 30, worked as an accountant, who was Pulse early Sunday morning during "Latin Night" with his best friend and survivor of the shooting Demetrice Naulings, according to CBS News. After the first shots were fired by the gunman, Naulings says Justice looked at him and said, "Take care of me, please don't leave me."
They were eventually separated in the panicked crowd, and Justice ended up trapped in one of the club's bathrooms. From there, he texted his mother, Wilhelmina Justice, saying, "Mommy I love you." Justice asked his mother to call the police and told her many people were hurt. His last texts say the gunman was in the bathroom with them, and finally, "He's a terror."
Wilhelmina Justice, right.
Justice's aunt Varnada Logan says her nephew would always embrace everyone with a hug and kiss. The family is close, supportive and saw Justice on a weekly basis. Logan says they're trying to arrange the details of Justice's funeral just as he would want it because he was particular about those things.
"If not, we'll probably hear from him," she says, with a warm laugh.
Logan adds Justice was an active person who enjoyed life and got the opportunity to travel to Japan, California and New York.
"I want this to be a celebration of his life, they way he lived it—with fun, with dignity and with integrity," she says."

India took control of the second test match against Sri Lanka, closing day three at 70 for the loss of 1 for a 157-run lead with nine second innings wickets in hand.
Sri Lanka resumed day three with an overnight score of 140 runs for the loss of three wickets. However. Sri Lanka lost momentum at regular intervals losing several key wickets. Leg-spinner Amit Mishra took four wickets to help India gain an 87-run first innings lead by dismissing Sri Lanka for 306.
Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews scored his sixth test century and was out for 102 and he was supported by half-centuries from Lahiru Thirimanne on 62 and Kaushal Silva with 51.
India lost first innings centurion Lokesh Rahul bowled by seamer Dhammika Prasad with the total on just three. At stumps India on their second innings were 70 for the loss of one wicket.


To the delight of gold merchants, India's central bank softened its policy stance on gold imports last week. The move made the premium fizz on the metal disappear. International gold ended flat last week at $1,292. In the domestic market, spot prices dropped by over four per cent. MCX gold futures fell to break the support at ₹27,247 and hit a low of ₹27,100. It then rose marginally and closed at ₹27,349, down 2.6 per cent for the week.
Gold's trouncing was also due to the stronger rupee which touched an 11-month high of 58.33 against the greenback.
In the global market, the yellow metal was dragged after the release of the FOMC minutes. The minutes showed that policy makers were convinced about the economic recovery. But they wanted to increase interest rates without much public resentment.
The dollar gained and hit a six-week high after the minutes. The US Dollar index ended the week at 80.39, up 0.4 per cent.
Investors shrugged aside the news of increase in jobless claims in the US. SPDR Gold Trust — the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund in the world — saw its holding drop to 776.89 tonnes, from 781.98 tonnes. In the January-March period, the World Gold Council reported a 39 per cent fall in the demand for gold bars and coins.
Spot silver prices ended marginally higher at $19.45 an ounce. Platinum prices were up 0.5 per cent to $1,472.8/ounce on renewed problems in South African mines.
As indicated last week, the RBI has relaxed gold import norms. It has permitted star and premier trading houses to import gold. It also lifted the earlier ban on importing gold on consignment basis, giving relief to jewellers. As gold supplies are now expected to surge, the spot market premium on gold dropped immediately in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The gold-backed exchange-traded funds also saw premiums drop and align with the NAVs. Gold BeES, the largest gold ETF, for instance, saw prices drop by 5.6 per cent to ₹2,550. Friday's NAV was ₹2,522, just 1 per cent lower to the market price. Just a week back, the ETF was at a 6 per cent premium to the market price. Once the central bank does away with the 80:20 rule and allows free imports, the small premium that's there now will also disappear.
We have been advising gold ETF investors to take advantage of the premium and book profits. Now, the outlook on gold prices has turned totally negative. The rupee is gaining strength with every week. Globally too gold prices are moving south. In the short term, gold prices may drop or be stable with little possibility of a rise (only a serious escalation of the Ukraine crisis can cause that). Investors wanting to book profits may move out of gold now and invest in equity funds. Keep gold only as a diversifier at around 10 per cent of the total investment portfolio.
In the international market, gold has been trading in a very narrow range for the last few weeks. Upsides are checked by the strengthening dollar and downsides by news flows from Ukraine. Prices may continue to move sideways for some more time.
The outcome of the Ukrainian elections will have to be watched. Experts feel that if Russia disrupts the presidential elections in Ukraine, it will result in the US and EU imposing more sanctions. With many companies in both these nations having trade ties with Russia, it is feared that such moves may wreck businesses and hinder economic recovery. Then, dollar may weaken and gold may see its price go up on haven demand. But, if the Ukraine issue cools off, then gold will have problems from the Fed winding up the stimulus and a strengthening dollar.
In the outlook published in the beginning of this year, we had said that 2014 could be a better year for gold than 2013 when prices dropped 30 per cent. Between January and March gold rallied 16 per cent to $1,392. Hereon, the gains may be limited. Unless the Ukraine crisis deepens further and US equity markets lose the fizz, strong gains may not be seen in gold.
Internationally, gold prices are not giving a clue about where they are headed. The long-term trend will remain positive till prices are above $1,155, but until prices break above $1,320 decisively, gains will be limited.
MCX gold (₹27,349) first cut the resistance target at ₹28,200 and hit ₹28,299.
Then it drifted lower to break the support at ₹27,247 and hit ₹27,100. This week, however, the contract may weaken further to ₹26,900 and ₹26,440. On the upside, the targets are ₹27,800 and ₹28,000.
MCX silver at ₹40,797 continues to be weak with long-term support levels broken two weeks back. This week, levels to look for on the downside are ₹40,500 and ₹40,300. If the fall is swift the contract may well break ₹40,000 and go on to test ₹38,000 levels. Upside, if any, may see the contract move to ₹41,000 and ₹41,318.

Scotland's construction industry generated total output of £14.5 billion last year, slightly down on the record of £14.7 billion in 2015.
The reduction was due mainly to a slump in infrastructure work which fell from £4.2 billion to £3.1 billion. Output from the housing, private commercial and repair and maintenance sectors were all up year-on-year.
Commenting on the figures from the Office for National Statistics, Scottish Building Federation managing director Vaughan Hart said: "Overall, these are encouraging results which suggest that the industry is moving in the right direction in terms of achieving a balanced recovery across different sectors, hopefully with a reduced reliance on major infrastructure projects to drive future growth as other key sectors such as housing, commercial and repair and maintenance continue to show strengthening performance.

Evergreen tree, native to Central America (Mexico to Costa Rica), cultivated also in Java, Sri Lanka and naturalized there (potential ecological threat). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myroxylon
"Peru balsam, produced by injured trees, exudes from trunk and limbs or is extreacted from bark. Peru balsam, not produced in Peru, recieved its name because it was originally assembled and shipped to Spain from the port of Callo, Peru. Oil (cinnamein) is used in perfume, cosmetic, and soap industries."
[CRC Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, Duke, James A., 1990, 322]
"Balsam of Peru smells of vanilla and cinnamon because it contains 60-70% cinnamein (a combination of cinnamic acid, cinnamyl cinnamate, benzyl benzoate, benzoic acid and vanillin). The other 30-40% contains resins of unknown composition. It also contains essential oils similar to those in citrus fruit peel. These are all potential allergens… Typical allergic contact dermatitis reactions may occur in individuals allergic to Balsam of Peru or any other chemically related substances. Flare-up of hand eczema is common in sensitive individuals if they use or consume products containing Balsam of Peru or related allergens. Oral exposure may cause sore mouth (tongue) and rash of the lips or angles of the mouth. " http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/balsam-of-peru-allergy.html
"Peru balsam contains about 50-60% of an ester mixture, formerly known as Cinnamein, which comprises more than 2/3 of benzyl benzoate and 1/3 of benzyl cinnamate."
[Perubalsam, Balsamum peruvianum, Kommentar zum DAB 10, 1.NT, 1992]
"26 different compounds have been investigated experimentally for their sensitizing capacity in guinea pigs. 19 of these occur in propolis as well as in poplar bud exudates, and 14 of them are also found in balsam of Peru. 4 caffeates and benzyl isoferulate were found to be strong Sensitizers. 7 compounds were moderate, and 13 compounds showed only weak sensitizing potency. Methyl cinnamate was negative. Patch tests in 11 propolis-sensitive patients once more revealed 3-methyl-2-butenyl caffeate and phenylethyl caffeate as the major sensitizers. In addition to the 8 compounds already known to occur in propolis as well as in balsam of Peru, we detected 5 further substances that both materials have in common. Among these, benzyl isoferulate is considered a noteworthy sensitizer. Coniferyl benzoate, which was shown to be a moderate sensitizer, is present in fresh samples of balsam of Peru, while in propolis it has been detected only once so far."

"Balsam of Peru is used worldwide for different purposes. Three quarters of its constituents are still unknown, and its main allergens have not been identified to date… Using different analytic methods such as thin-layer chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and sensitization experiments in guinea pigs resulted in the identification of a greater number of constituents and the determination of their sensitizing potency.
Benzyl isoferulate, coniferyl cinnamate, hydroconiferyl cinnamate, and hydroconiferyl benzoate were identified among others as new constituents. Also, the presence of coniferyl benzoate could be shown for the first time. It showed the strongest sensitizing capacity of all compounds tested followed by benzyl isoferulate. The latter is a significant cross-linking allergen because it occurs in propolis as well."

Volatile constituents were identified by SPME/GC-MS analysis of Peru Balsam. A high percentage of nerolidol (38%) was found, together with benzyl benzoate (31%). Major components were also benzyl alcohol (8%), benzoic acid (6%), benzaldehyde, β-farnesene, α-farnesene, and styrene.
SFE CO2 extracts were rich in benzyl benzoate (48-60%), followed by benzyl cinnamate (15-37%) and nerolidol (7-17%).
Major products of hydro distillation were nerolidol (46%) and benzyl benzoate (44%); minor components were benzyl cinnamate (1%) and ethyl benzoate (1%).

"Because of their widespread use, fragrances are among the most common causes of contact allergic dermatitis, second only to nickel. During a five-year period 3,065 patients with contact dermatitis were patch tested using a specific mix of fragrances. 509 (16.6%) patients were allergic to the fragrance mix, while 258 (8.4%) patients exhibited an allergic reaction to Myroxylon pereirae (balsam of Peru). Between those 509 patients, 157 were patch tested with eight individual substances contained in the fragrance mix: cinnamal, cinnamyl alcohol, eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, alpha-amyl cinnamal and Evernia prunastri (oak moss). The most frequent allergens were isoeugenol 57.9% (91/157), eugenol 55.4% (87/157), cinnamyl alcohol 34.4% (54/157) and Evernia prunastri (oak moss) 24.2% (38/157).

Home » Car News » Toyota » Toyota Connect Telematic Services Announced At 2016 Auto Expo
Toyota Connect is a cloud based platform that provides telematic services such as 24×7 navigation, 24×7 road assistance using GPS and booking service appointment.
Toyota Connect will be launched in India by mid-2016
Toyota showcased the second generation Innova Crysta at the 2016 Auto Expo along with some other interesting vehicles such as the hydrogen powered Mirai, Prius and Camry Hybrid. However, the company has not only showcased vehicles but has also announced the Toyota Connect telematic services for India.
The Toyota Connect is a cloud based platform that along with its call center is integrated with the dealership network which provides a number of services like booking a service appointment, checking progress of the service, e-payment, 24×7 assisted navigation with traffic updates and 24×7 road assistance based on GPS location which can be availed using a smartphone application.
The services will begin in mid-2016 and India will become the 11th country to get Toyota Connect which was first launched in Japan in 2002. The automaker claims that the vehicle's location and other data is perfectly secure in the platform while it aims at making the customer's ownership experience hassle-free and enjoyable.
The Toyota Innova is the favourite choice of cabbies and the new platform for telematic services will be of great help to them as they take long trips and can find some help in case of emergencies. Honda also launched a similar application recently called the Honda Connect app which can be used to track the car and get details about the vehicle's health and more.
These applications and telematic services are offered with a view to improve the ownership experience as everything related to the vehicle is on your fingertips. Other manufacturers are expected to launch their services soon as most of them are already offering these services in foreign markets since a long time.

ESP, Mind Telepathy, Telekinesis, etc. Viewed Psychically
Atoms & Astronauts5
Transcription of ESP, Mind Telepathy, Telekinesis, etc. Viewed Psychically
ATOMS & ASTRONAUTS - Chapter 5
Now that we have entered into some of the more complex abstractions which deal directly with various interpolations of interdimensional movements, the formations of atoms, the relationship of an infinite number of electromagnetic fields, etc., this should prove a most opportune time to enter into associated fields of psychic interplay or extraterrestrial phenomena as they are sometimes called, to explain certain and as yet mysterious proclivities of human endeavor which are currently being very highly expressed and exploited- speaking principally on such factors as ESP, mind telepathy, telekinesis and such factors which are pertinent and relevant to mind expressions beyond norms of the reactionary materialistic earthman.
To begin with, a most fascinating field of exploration is sometimes referred to as fortune-telling, foretelling the future, as well as giving certain incidental information about the past which will prove to the recipient that the future is actually being foretold. This necromancy or occultism has been practiced since the beginning of man's life on the Earth and in the more primitive reaches and expressions of man's life, has assumed such channels as witchcraft, wizardry and associated expressionary elements.
As of today, the scientists to a large degree deny the existence of the ability to either communicate telepathically or to foretell the past or the future. Such assumptions are absolutely false; the future can be accurately foretold, and in my own personal experiences, I have foretold the future of many people, even to the last minute detail. Even at this time I describe past instances with minute details that may have escaped the memory or the observation of those persons involved. How is this accomplished? Well, in our previous discussions on the interdimensional cosmos, this explanation becomes relatively easy. We start first with what is called space, and as I have previously presented space, it is a false presumption. Space is actually infinitely filled at any given point with an infinite number of cyclic wave forms; that is, little or large circles of energy traveling around in a circle, each one relevant to itself to the degree that it impounds within its waveform structures a certain quotient of intelligence or information and which can be harmonically, or by means of electromagnetic fields which regenerate these harmonics, transmitted to a degree to any and all other cycles of energy which exist in the infinite cosmos.
Now as a person progresses along his pathway of evolution, at any given moment he is directly in contact with any number of these infinite, regenerative cycles. Although he may not be conscious of this, yet this is true. Through the differences in harmonic structures, electromagnetic fields which regenerate and propagate these harmonics, this person is polarizing or implanting into the cyclic, fourth-dimensional wave forms, certain wave forms of his own. These wave forms are the actual information of the life experience which this person is undergoing at that particular moment.
Therefore, in the future, any person who has a mind which can tune into these fourth-dimensional wave forms, can attune himself through the frequency vibrations which are radiating in the aura of this person, into past lifetime incidents or happenings by merely contacting as a way of attunement, just as it is with the radio, the different little wave forms which were implanted by that person (unconsciously) at that particular moment. Then in the manner in which I have described the functions of the psychic anatomy, the interplay of these wave forms recreating facsimiles in my own particular psychic anatomy which are again projected into the cortical layers of my brain is in effect, an energy structure which relates to me the exact picture of that happening in that past incident and it makes absolutely no difference if it was but a day or a thousand years. Time is of no particular importance in this dimension and if a person had experienced a certain happening in a lifetime, at any given moment in the last several thousand years of his life (as he has incarnated any number of times upon the earth), then I could very accurately tune in to any of these past instances and relate them to him in a comprehensive fashion.
Almost equally as important: is the fact that with certain mind projections of energy which I would accomplish by means of my psychic anatomy and other related factors of which I am cognizant and can work with, I can project this picture accurately into this person's mind, even though he does not consciously remember the incident. He will then obtain a very strong rapport with the reproduction of this life incident, and as I have described it in the reverse-phase feedback principle, the difference in time frequency or the time consonant between this dimension at this time and that particular happening at that time, is a phase reversal and cancels out much of the pernicious effect of that life experience.
The same principles are quite true in predicting the future. Going back to our original consensus, all cycles in the infinite cosmogony are related to each other on the basis of harmonics; therefore, any past incidents which have happened to any person are harmonically oscillating in certain similarly attuned cycles in his future. That is to say, that at any given moment in your life at this time, there can be a contact with certain cycles which are similar to those cycles which you will contact in your future, and in that relationship then, the harmonic content which has been radiated to them from your past will then be regenerating in your future. You will therefore subconsciously try to reproduce these certain life incidents in your future life.
In my attunement to these future happenings, they are just as plain and realistic as those which you have had happen to you or that you have experienced in your past life. Now this has been very scientifically explained to you and is provable to you on the basis and the consensus of all existing electrical technocracy which is in existence today. They are provable to you in the laboratories of this world through oscilloscopes, generators and other such apparatus as is available to the scientist of this time. You must bear in mind that the oscilloscope, television, radio or any other of the electronic inventions or developments which we have at our disposal would not be possible unless the principles which I have explained to you were valid and in effect, and were working in these instruments.
The very nature of any electrical phenomena in any field in this earth-world dispensation is entirely synonymous, is engendered by, and made possible by the principles which explain creation itself and the proposition of infinity. One would not be possible without the other; as a matter of fact, there would not be a single blade of grass, a human, there would not be an earth world, there would not be a solar system, a galaxy or a universe. Nothing would be possible unless we had all of these very important factors in constant operation at all times.
As I have said, the third dimension is only one of the expressionary planes which are manifest in infinity; it is an oscillating and a pulsating plane of expression. It is constantly repeating the experience or the idiom, or the intelligence of the past into the future and in that way its own cyclic patterns are superimposed in the races of peoples and to individuals who are so involved in them. This will lead us more directly into what I have described in the first lesson course as the spiritual evolution-one of which Darwin did not know about. What it means actually is that any animate or living object, as it is going through its evolution- whether it is an amoeba, a tree, a flower, an animal, man, whatever this particular specimen, whatever it is, is also contacting infinity. It is, by the oscillating process, re-expressing its own life form and its life experience as a facsimile reproduction of Infinite Intelligence which is oscillating in these wave form patterns; or you might say that it is a preconceived concept which has been created or exists in infinity since the beginning of whatever infinity is.
Actually, as said, there is no beginning, so this specimen of life, whatever it is, manifests its own intelligence as it is oscillated from infinity and in the reverse process as polarized elements of experiences, reverses this oscillation back into infinity and propagates, on the basis of its own psychic anatomy, contact with the infinity which leaves its own oscillating quotient with those cyclic forms of infinity with which it was involved. Harmonically attuned, all infinity then can be said to be oscillating with, or resonating with the life experience of this specimen. Then, as the specimen progresses and gets to the point of death and reincarnates, or that another similar specimen is brought into the surface of life, this specimen can be said to be harmonically in tune with the past of this similar specimen and therefore inductive to it on the basis of frequency relationship. It will not only pick up the polarized idiom of these previous life experiences and will (just as you do) revamp them or reform them into its present life form and experience, but, through the proposition of harmonic attunements, it can very easily pick up and reproduce or reform into the present, certain other different life experiences which have happened to other specimens of life upon the planet Earth. So again, this particular specimen has added a certain adjunctive to its own particular evolution.
It may be capable of performing a certain particular feat or function which it could not have done as a specimen in a previous lifetime. Now we must bear in mind that these two specimens were entirely different; they were not necessarily one and the same, nor did they contain the very same elements of life through the psychic anatomy from one life to another. This is strictly a proposition of harmonic attunement with other similar life forms or with those life forms which were even more remotely connected with any particular specimen but which could remanifest these life-form experiences into the present by means of a very remote system of harmonic interplay.
So this will again add a considerable dimension to the prospective of your own concept of evolution and could be called the more adaptive propensities of any specimen, particularly with mankind as he possesses a prehensile mind; that is to say, he is capable of fashioning within his own mind certain harmonics or interplays of wave forms from his past lifetime experiences which, when combined with the harmonic principle with other people's life experiences, he can then create certain imagery on the facade of his own mind. In that way he becomes more prehensile in the intellectual capacity of his daily life.


Integration by substitution is just the reverse chain rule. If you learned your derivatives well, this technique of integration won't be a stretch for you.
Now, what is the derivative of sinx? It is cosx. So, what we have inside the integral sign is a composite function and its derivative.
And this is the function we wanted to integrate!
What we did with that clever substitution was to use the chain rule in reverse.
We saw that the integral was probably a composite function. This is because, according to the chain rule, the derivative of a composite function is the product of the derivatives of the outer and inner functions.
And that's exactly what is inside our integral sign.
As a rule of thumb, whenever you see a function times its derivative, you may try to use integration by substitution.
Let's do some more examples so you get used to this technique.
Now, if you remember your derivatives, you know that the derivative of lnx is 1 over x.
So, again, what we have is a function and its derivative. How should we choose our u?
Will our u-substitution work here? Where is the derivative of the function there?
If we look closely, we'll note that we do have a composite function there.
We have the function ax. And then sin(ax), which is a composite function.
Can you see it? What is the derivative of x? It is one!
Integration by substitution can be considered the reverse chain rule.
You'll need to know your derivatives well.
Whenever you see a function times its derivative, you might try to use integration by substitution.
With practice it'll become easy to know how to choose your u.
Why Can We "Cancel Out" Differentials?

Tag: Arsene Wenger
Posted on May 8, 2018 June 1, 2018
Who will replace Arsene Wenger?
The day seems to be drawing ever nearer when the whole Wenger In/Wenger Out camps will subside and the great man steps down from his throne. Some will dispute labelling Arsene as a great man, but only a fool would downplay what he has done. No other club has qualified in the number of consecutive Champions Leagues that he has guided Arsenal too….yes, they have more often been out of the title picture than in it, but in this day and age when all the top sides improve regularly, to keep that Top 4 placing was a task no other could have achieved.
Arsenal fans should think about what they wish for….there are not many examples in History of clubs who part from long term managers going straight onto to success, and I can't help but get the feeling that in 12 months times, whoever is in charge at Arsenal will be subject to the same In/Out debates. But let us take a look at some of the contenders….
Carlo Ancelotti – This seems to be the name of most Arsenal fans lips and given the players at the club, the style of play and the pressure of the role, he ticks all the boxes. Available and with something to prove in the Premier League, backed up with the wealth of experience he could well be the logical choice
Eddie Howe – Will Eddie Howe suffer for being an Englishman and lacking the top level, continental experience of others? Arsenal would be a fool not to consider this man considering the monumental, almost unbelievable job he has done with Bournemouth. One day, Eddie Howe will be in charge at a top 4 club and managing in the champions league, and perhaps Arsenal will be that team.
Antonio Conte – The more the weeks go by the more it appears that Mr Conte will be the latest in a long time of managers to depart Stamford Bridge. Unable to build on last years success, Conte has had many a controversy and seems unsettled, as do the club seem unsure of him. Maybe a trip across the capital would be happy, but I cant imagine the Arsenal fans being overawed with this appointment?
Mikel Arteta – One of the bookies favourites at Novibet Sports, but to get rid of a man who has guided Arsenal to all those Top 4 places and trophies and replacing him with a guy who has never managed a club before, let alone one the size of Arsenal, would seem rather foolish and short sighted.
Jochiam Loew – Now we are talking, fresh eyes to the Premier League, a novel approach, a proven winner…what more could you want as an Arsenal fan?
Whatever happens, Wenger's departure is going to take time to recover from and time to put right. Arsenal fans may have to accept they will suffer similar to the immediate post-Fergie Manchester United (who some may argue are yet to recover fully) but whoever takes the job at the Emirates will have to also accept the pressure and expectations that are going to follow.
How can Wenger turn things round and make Arsenal Champions?
Last season seemed to be dominated by discussion over the future of the longest serving manager in the Premier League Arsene Wenger. Despite 20 years of success, consistent top 4 finishes and memorable moments, the pressure began to mount as it became clear Arsenal were going to miss out on the Top 4. With no Champions League football and unease around the club, just how can Wenger turn things around and make Arsenal Champions?
One key thing he needs to do, which is easier said than done, is turn the fans negativity away. Nothing breeds failure and defeat at a club more than negativity, and speaking as a Sunderland fan I have seen this first hand. Whether it be bold tactical decision or major signings Wenger needs the fans back on board. A winning start would ease these….
…but then again Arsenal always start well. One thing Wenger needs to do is work out how to stop the mid season slump that has hit them in recent years. The typical post-xmas fade needs to be eliminated….a bigger squad, bringing in a different kind of player??? Whatever it may be he needs to address it.
Indeed, bringing in that player who can "do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke" is something to consider. Although Arsenal have some of the world's finest players in their ranks, they have often missed that Tony Adams/Patrick Vieira type figure who is not only a leader on the pitch but can take a testing game by the scruff of the neck and grind out winds. The invincible did this time and time again so Wenger has it in his DNA, he just needs the players who can carry out his wishes.
Speaking of those world class players…..Wenger needs to not only keep the likes of Ozil and Sanchez, but make sure they are singing off the same hymn sheet. Is Alexis Sanchez motivated by making Arsenal the best he can or does he want to shine to force a move away? If the latter is true then cutting losses may be an option but a motivated and driven Sanchez may just be key.
One thing Arsene Wenger will certainly have to do is balance the tricky Europa League commitments where they will no doubt be favourites to lift the trophy. Although he is used to European Football, the Europa League is vastly different from the Champions League with a fuller schedule, more tricky places to go and indeed the Thursday night games messing up weekend fixtures. Wenger needs to decide quickly his approach…does he go all out to win the contest and ensure Champions League football, or does he treat it as a second priority until the latter stages? Manchester United have shown the blueprint of how to win this tournament, Arsenal would be wise to follow and should they you would get enhanced odds on them being victorious in Amsterdam next summer.
This could be the hardest season of all for Wenger. If he thought that last season was tough, the reaction to him should Arsenal start badly could be even worse. What he needs is to turn the negativity into positivity and there is no reason, that with a couple of key singings, they could be challenging for the title again in 2017-2018.
