7Project Overview. The Center for Economic Development Research (CEDR) prepared this report for the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Committee of One Hundred as part of Enterprise Florida, Inc.Â's (EFI) Targeted Market Pilot Project Grant Program. The pilot program is designed to match local businesses in the state with specific international trade opportunities. This report summarizes the information collected by the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Committee of One Hundred. The following is a list of data supplied to CEDR. Manufacturers in Hillsborough County and the commodities produced Exporters in Hillsborough County and the commodities exported Importers in Hillsborough County by the industry of the importer The purpose of the study is to: Ascertain what products are manufactured in Hillsborough County Enumerate the local companies that are involved in international trade Identify the international markets that receive goods manufactured in Hillsborough County The study supports the development of programs to enhance and increase exports in Hillsborough County by identifying foreign markets that have actual and potential demand for goods produced in Tampa and Hillsborough County.
8Executive Summary. The purpose of the study was to ascertain what products are manufactured in Hillsborough County, enumerate the local companies that are involved in international trade and identify the international markets that receive goods manufactured in Hillsborough County. The Center for Economic Development Research (CEDR) at the University of South Florida prepared this report for the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Committee of One Hundred (GTCC-C100). This report summarizes the information supplied by the GTCC-C100 on 1,106 manufacturing and international trade firms. Relevant findings from analysis of the data follows. Thirty percent of firms in the database, or 336 companies engage in international trade. Of the 336 firms, 54 percent are manufacturers and 39 percent are wholesale/retail traders. There are 921 manufacturers in the County that produce more than 250 products as categorized by Standard Industrial Classification code. Hillsborough County manufacturers employ more than 36,000 workers and have been in business an average of 28.5 years. One third of the 36,000 manufacturing workers in Hillsborough County are employed in companies that trade internationally. Firms classified in tobacco products, apparel, leather, primary metals and electronics report that 70 percent or more of the total employment for their industry sector lies within companies that are involved in international trade Manufacturers that export or both export and import pay higher wages than those firms that only import or are not involved in international trade. According to 1997 Florida Department of Labor statistics, the Hillsborough County manufacturing sector provided one in 14 jobs in the County and paid an average annual wage of $29,989. Annual manufacturing wages were nearly 10 percent higher than the County average of $27,503 for all employees. The industrial and commercial machinery industry in Hillsborough County has a stronger international orientation than other manufacturing industries in the County. Nearly one in three industrial and commercial machinery manufacturers export goods and one in 16 import. There are 180 companies in the database that do not manufacture products. These companies employ nearly 13,000 workers and are mostly firms in the wholesale and retail trade industries. Wholesalers, primarily involved in selling merchandise to retailers, contractors and businesses, make up the bulk of non-manufacturing companies that export. Firms classified as wholesalers of non-durable goods import more than firms in other industry sectors. Hillsborough County companies conduct business with 85 countries in every region of the world.
9 More than 100 firms ship to the Caribbean, 71 to South America, and 64 to Central America making Latin America the top destination for area products Thirty-seven firms export to the Bahamas and 30 to the Cayman Islands, making these two islands the top export destinations for area products. More firms trade with Venezuela and Ecuador than with other countries in South America. Venezuela is the top South American export market for area products. Many South American countries have demand for similar products. More local companies import goods from Asia than any other region in the world. In addition, more firms report importing from Taiwan and Japan than from any other country in the world. More firms site the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France as trading partners more often than other European countries. There are 25 firms shipping products to the United Kingdom, making it the top European market for exports. With the exception of chemicals, electronics and cigars exported to Canada and plastics to Mexico, similar products are shipped to both countries from area manufacturers.

Industrial and International Trade Database Information Base Company Name Company Address Contact Information Primary Standard Industrial Classification Code Secondary 1 and 2 Standard Industrial Classification Codes Year Established Number of Employees Export/Import Activity (Export/Import/Manufacture Only) Export/Import Country (if applicable) Introduction and Background. To evaluate the status and potential of international trade for Tampa/Hillsborough County it is necessary to have an inventory of what products are manufactured by local companies. The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Committee of One Hundred (GTCC-C100) developed a database of industry and international trade in 1997. The database was updated during 1998. It consists of information on 1,106 Hillsborough County-based industrial and international trade companies. Table 1 lists the information available in the database. Using the GTCC-C100 database, CEDR analyzed the Hillsborough County industrial and international trade data. This document reports results of CEDRÂ's analysis. We discuss the industries in Hillsborough County and identify the patterns of international trade activity by firm classification and products. CEDR also assesses the international trade activities of wholesale/retail trader companies and service providers that are included in the database.

CEDR uses the primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, listed by the company, to classify manufacturers, distributors and service providers into a specific industry. Of the 1,106 companies 921 (83 percent) are classified as manufacturers. Five firms did not report a SIC code. The remaining 180 companies are classified as trade, service, finance/insurance/real estate, or mining/construction firms. Table 2 provides a breakout of companies in the database by industrial classification.

There are 921 manufacturers in the County that produce more than 250 products as categorized by Standard Industrial Classification code. Numerous companies manufacture the same commodity or several product lines. In total, 1,400 consumer goods are produced locally. Products range from aircraft parts and supplies to x-ray apparatus and tubes. Hillsborough County manufacturers employ more than 36,000 workers and have been in business an average of 28.5 years. The average time in business for those manufacturers engaged in international trade is 34.5 years, while the average time for those not engaged in international trade is 26.7 years. Thus, the statistics reflected in this report are descriptive of the mature, well established manufacturing businesses in the County. Such businesses include cigar manufacturers and those firms in the printing and publishing industry. Additionally, the average years of manufacturers in business by type of international trade activity are: importers only 30.5 years, exporters only 32.4 years, and exporters/importers 42.1 years. According to 1997 Florida Department of Labor statistics, the Hillsborough County manufacturing sector provided one in 14 jobs in the County and paid an average annual wage of $29,989. Annual manufacturing wages were nearly 10 percent higher than the County average of $27,503 for all employees. Table 3 lists 1997 average annual wages by manufacturing sector in Hillsborough County.

Table 4 shows total employment by manufacturing sector and average employment per firm in the sector. Firms producing food and kindred products employ 14 percent of manufacturing industry workers, making this sector the largest manufacturing group in the County. There is significant employment in high-tech industries such as electronics, industrial equipment and chemicals. Firms in the tobacco industry have the largest employment size, with an average of more than 200 employees per firm. Many manufacturing industries are concentrated in the area. Table 5 lists the number of firms by manufacturing sector for those industries with 50 or more firms in Hillsborough County. The printing and publishing sector has the highest concentration of firms, with nearly 200 located in the County. There are 125 firms producing fabricated metal products and 93 making industrial machinery and computer equipment.

The database contains information on company foreign trade activity. Companies are coded as export only, import only, export/import or no international trade. An export only code indicates that a firm produces a commodity for sale outside the United States. An import only code indicates that a firm purchases foreign-made goods. Companies that both export and import products/services are coded as export/import. A code of no international trade means that a company is not engaged in international commerce. A breakout of firms by type of trade activity is shown in Figure 1. Thirty percent of firms in the database, or 336 companies engage in international trade. Of the 336 firms, 54 percent are manufacturers and 39 percent are wholesale/retail traders. The remaining seven percent are engaged in the service and mining/construction industries. Figure 2 provides the percentage of firms engaged in international trade by industrial classification. 770 companies do not participate in international trade. Of the non-export/import companies, 97 percent are classified as manufacturers. Companies are listed by type of foreign trade activity and industrial classification in Table 6. Figure 2.

In general, apparel manufacturers pay lower wages, averaging $21,518 annually, than firms located in other manufacturing sectors in the County. If we remove the approximate 600 low-wage apparel jobs in Hillsborough County, the average wage for firms that only import rises from $26,989 to $29,690. Although the $29,690 average wage without the apparel industry is still slightly below the overall average for manufacturers of $29,989, the indication is that the apparel industry has particularly low wages relative to other firms engaging in international trade. We also note the continuing trend of the loss of these low paying jobs to Mexico and other offshore locations. (For example, see "When a Plant Closes, Small Town, Global Problem," by Alecia Swasy, St. Petersburg Times, June 20, 1999, page 1A.) One third of the 36,000 manufacturing workers in Hillsborough County are employed in companies that trade internationally. Firms classified in tobacco products, apparel, leather, primary metals and electronics report that 70 percent or more of the total employment for their industry sector lies within companies that are involved in international trade Table 7 details those industries. Manufacturers in eight sectors report an aggregate of more than 2,000 workers. Employment, production and trade activities of these industries are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs. Food and Kindred Products (SIC 20). Firms that manufacture or process food and beverages for human consumption are included in the food and products industry. Hillsborough County food and kindred products firms produce coffee, soft drinks, cookies and crackers, malt beverages, frozen fruits, juice and vegetables, and dairy products.

Electronic firms employ 4,200 individuals, 11 percent of the CountyÂ's manufacturing employment. Firms in this sector have an average employment of more than 100 workers. More than half of the workers in the electronics sector work in high tech firms that produce electronic components and accessories (SIC 367), such as printed circuit boards and electronic resistors. In addition, thirty-one percent of the workers employed in the electronics sector are working in firms that manufacture miscellaneous electrical machinery and equipment (SIC 369). The remaining workers are employed in other sectors of the electronics components industry. Of the 39 electronics manufacturers, one-third export and 10 percent import. Table 13 lists the export destination of electronics component manufacturers by region. Appendix C details the trade activities of firms within the electronics sector. Foreign-made components are purchased from South America, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Apparel (SIC 23). More than 30 companies produce clothing and apparel in Hillsborough County. These firms employ an average of 70 workers. In total, more than 2,200 people are employed in this sector. Half of the workers in the apparel industry work for firms producing womenÂ's/junior clothing. Figure 6 provides the percentage of employment in the apparel industry.

Producers of cigars purchase materials from Honduras, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Ecuador, Jamaica, Colombia and the Philippines. International Activity of Hillsborough County Non-Manufacturers. There are 180 non-manufacturing companies in the database. Table 17 reports the industry classification of non-manufacturing firms. These companies employ nearly 13,000 and are primarily in the wholesale and retail trade industries. Area traders play an important role in international trade. No information is available about whether traders distribute products made in Hillsborough County. All but 25 of the 180 companies are involved in international trade. More than 40 percent of the firms are exporting, one-third import and 10 percent export and import. We discuss the employment, trade patterns and production activities of the non-manufacturing firms by industry in the following paragraphs. Wholesale Trade (SIC 50 & 51). Wholesalers, primarily involved in selling merchandise to retailers, contractors and businesses, make up the bulk of non-manufacturing companies that export. Wholesalers of durable goods, on average, have smaller-sized operations in comparison to those firms wholesaling non-durable goods. Durable good wholesalers have an average of 40 employees per firm, whereas, those involved in the trade of non-durable goods have an average of 100 employees per firm.
26involved in trading wine and distilled beverages. Local florists import products from Hong Kong, China, and Haiti. Retail Trade (SIC 52-59). Foreign sales of area retailers involve dealers of new, used and antique cars, recreational vehicles, boats, bicycles and motorcycles. Appendix I lists the export destination of area retailers by product and country. Firms in the retail sector also import goods. Companies classified as grocery stores import mainly from Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Sporting goods and bicycles shops receive products from Asia and Europe. Catalog and mail order houses purchase foreignmade products from Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan in Asia and Europe and Central America. Miscellaneous Industries. Services. Twenty-eight companies in the database are categorized in the service sector. The majority of these companies perform activities, such recycling, welding and packaging services. Firms that provide such services are classified as business services and are not typically exporters. Firms in the business services sector that do export include those firms that rent equipment to Central and South America. Businesses from the service sector import items from Asia and Europe. These companies provide packaging and filling services or are in the amusement park industry. Mining and Construction. Mining and construction firms represent 7 percent of the 180 non-manufacturing firms. Mining and construction firms that are involved in exporting engage in structural steel erection and highway and street construction mainly in the Caribbean. Firms in terrazzo, tile and marble industry import products from countries such as Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Philippines, India, Italy, Spain and Belgium.

Thirty-seven firms export to the Bahamas and 30 to the Cayman Islands, making these two islands the top export destinations for area products. Table 21 details the number of companies exporting to countries in the Caribbean. Firms in the trade industries dominate those in other sectors of the economy exporting to the Caribbean. Appendix M identifies products exported to the Caribbean by firms in Hillsborough County. Twenty-six firms import from the Caribbean. Most of these firms are classified in the wholesale and retail trade industries. Manufacturers that import are engaged in producing cigars, fabricated metals and chemicals. Central America. Seventy-two firms report trading with countries in Central America. Costa Rica and the Honduras were sited as trade partners more often by firms in the County than other countries located in Central America. Table 22 details the number of firms involved in international trade with Central America. Eightythree percent of the 72 companies export. Manufacturers, traders, service providers and firms involved in mining and construction ship goods to Central America. Appendix N provides a detailed list of products shipped to Central America. Nearly 20 firms report that they import products from Central America. These firms are engaged in manufacturing screws, bolts and fencing or trading chemicals, cigars, clothing, fish and vegetables. The majority of firms are in the wholesale trade industry.

With the exception of chemicals, electronics and cigars exported to Canada and plastics to Mexico, similar products are shipped to both countries from area manufacturers. Appendix Q lists products exported to Canada and Mexico. Imports from Canada and Mexico differ. Firms importing products from Canada are mainly engaged in producing industrial and commercial machinery and fabricated metal products. Those companies importing from Mexico include those that are wholesale traders of durable goods and manufacturers of medical equipment, cigars, and plastics. The Pacific. Twelve firms in the database report trading with countries in The Pacific. Most companies export products to Australia and import goods from firms in New Zealand. More area manufacturers export to Australia than firms involved in wholesale/retail trade. Products exported from area manufacturers include cigars, polishes and transformers. Appendix R identifies products shipped to the Pacific. Only three firms import products from companies in the Pacific.
33Summary and Conclusions. The information in the GTCC – C100 database provides insight into the activities of firms in a number of industries that operate in Hillsborough County. Of particular interest is the light the numbers shed on Hillsborough County's role in international commerce. Some salient facts: Manufacturing employment is a small portion of total employment in the County. Firms are small in terms of employment. Hillsborough County's industrial base is diverse. No one industry or type of product dominates the manufacturing or trade sector in the County. Rather, Hillsborough County's industrial structure is typical of a mature urban area with regional service capabilities. Based on the data gathered, about 30 percent of the businesses in Hillsborough County participated in some form of international trade activity. There does not appear to be a concentration of trade activity within any one or a few industries. Rather the activity appears to be diversified across many industries. Those businesses that do participate in international trade are mature firms, averaging 33.5 years in business. These firms tend to pay above average wages in Hillsborough County. The international marketing of Hillsborough County manufacturers appears to follow domestic marketing activities. Firms develop product markets developed at the firm level rather than at the industry or regional level. Firms produce one or more products that exhibit favorable price or quality advantages due to firm-specific technology, workforce or management skills, or marketing expertise. Longer-lived firms are more likely to export as, in the course of selling regionally or nationally, knowledge of the product spreads abroad. The lesson appears to be "Hillsborough County manufacturers that can market products domestically can develop foreign markets too". Firms in trade appear to take advantage of international arbitrage opportunities. Wholesale and retail traders offer producers an alternative to selling abroad directly. They locate domestic products that are competitive abroad and sell to foreign buyers on a cost or a quality basis. As a result, a high percentage of goods go to customers located within a region. For example, more Hillsborough County companies trade with customers in the Caribbean region than in other regions of the world. This is mainly due to the proximity of Florida and Caribbean markets and therefore shippers enjoy shipping cost advantages. Hillsborough County trade firms also import products from a number of countries. Imports of a wide variety of products are resold to customers for final consumption or utilized as inputs into local products.
34In conclusion, foreign commerce in Hillsborough County capitalizes on comparative advantage arising at the firm level. Export activity is the adjunct to successful domestic marketing. Economic developers in the County should investigate means to facilitate the internationalization of profitable, product-driven firms that have developed successful regional or national markets. It must be remembered that wholesale and retail trading companies are also part of the international infrastructure in Hillsborough County.

View Full Version : Single button airbrake/sideshift support?
Sorry in advance to contribute to the overall chaos of this board.
There are many options for configuring the controller in WOHD-- much appreciated, BTW-- but I can't figure out how to make WOHD play with single button airbrake/sideshift.
I don't want to de-volve this thread into a control discussion, as there is already a thread for that topic.
But in Pure/Pulse, there is a single button airbrake/sideshift option, in which one button (usually a shoulder button) plus direction is used for a airbrake, while another button (usually the other shoulder button) plus direction is used for side shift.
Most folks use the traditional control scheme (shoulder button pressed once is airbrake, twice is side-shift) but for a few of us, the single button method is the norm.
I can't find a way to enable single button airbrake/sideshift, so it's very frustrating to play WOHD-- my normal button use pattern crashes me into walls left and right.
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that option doesn't exist... it was called into life for the PSP version, for lack of ergonomics, but I don't think it's available in HD. You'll just have to learn it the 'normal' way!
What the hell is "single button airbrake"?
Learning to use the more traditional control scheme in WOHD has been pretty hard for me, because I had to over-ride my natural instincts for controlling the game. I'm still not there fully yet though am getting better. I'm trying to play Pure and Pulse at the same time so I don't loose my single button sideshifting abilities while adding a more traditional control approach to my toolbox.
"I had to over-ride my natural instincts for controlling the game."
Natural instincts or pre-learned responses?

Man City set to trigger Ben Chilwell's release clause
Simon Lloyd
Pep Guardiola is an admirer of the England international
Manchester City are reportedly preparing to trigger the release clause in Ben Chilwell's Leicester City contract.
Chilwell, who has established himself as a regular for Gareth Southgate's England team in the last year, has been identified as a potential solution to the Premier League champions' problems at left-back, where Pep Guardiola has been forced to improvise following injuries to Benjamin Mendy.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabian Delph - both midfielders - have both deputised for Mendy at times over the last two seasons.
Chilwell signed a new deal at Leicester last October which is set to expire in July 2024. According to the Telegraph, a release clause of £42m was inserted into the contract.
The 22-year-old's impressive form for club and country over recent months have convinced Guardiola and City's director of football Txiki Begiristain that he is worth the money.
The report claims City could make their move following their final game of the season - the FA Cup final against Watford.
It also claims that Delph may depart the Etihad this summer. Now 29, the midfielder is entering into the final year of his contract after signing for them from Aston Villa in 2015.
City are aiming to conclude all their transfer business early in the summer and are also thought to be eyeing moves for midfield reinforcements.
Atletico Madrid's Rodri is one of several names to have been linked, with Guardiola thought to be keen on finding a replacement for 34-year-old Fernandinho . City could again exploit a release clause in his contract with the LaLiga side - said to be set at around £60m.
Manchester City,

"I probably just try to better myself as a person, off the field more than on it," Blore tells NSWRL.com.au. "That's always what this camp is about – trying to make better people off the field. That's something I want to focus on.
Leadership, Blore says, is the key to taking his game to the next level.
"In team meetings, at training, in groups, I always try to keep the talk up, just trying to improve my leadership qualities," Blore adds. "That's always something that the coach is looking for.
An often-used line by players is that with good club performances, representative opportunities will take care of themselves; that holds true for the 17-year-old, who will once again line up for the Panthers in the 2018 SG Ball Cup.
"The boys have been knuckling down at training pretty hard and that's always good to see," Blore says. "[We're] good mates in and out of training, always talking, always telling jokes and that's a strong relationship among the team.
A friendly sibling rivalry with older brother Dean – himself a former NSWRL Pathways representative – has also kept Shawn Blore's hunger for improvement alive.
"He always gives me a few sessions, gives me a few tips and pulls me up all the time," Blore laughs. "Even at training he's always trying to stay one step ahead of me and that's always good, having that little brotherly thing going on.
The Panthers will start their 2018 SG Ball campaign at Panthers Stadium on Saturday, 10 February, with the Balmain Tigers their likely Round 1 opponents.


Literary critics often call Mary Roberts Rinehart the American Agatha Christie. This is a somewhat interesting comment since Rinehart published her first mystery novel fourteen years before Christie.
Rinehart wrote over 60 mysteries, seven plays, news stories, travel articles, poems and numerous short stories. Let's take a closer look at Mary Roberts Rinehart.
Mary Roberts Rinehart was born Mary Ella Roberts in a section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania formerly known as Alleghany City to Thomas and Cornelia Roberts. She grew up with an extended family including her grandmother, a dressmaker who worked long hours in a shop at the back of the house.
Her father was in the sewing machine business and a frustrated inventor. He designed a rotary shuttle for the sewing machine which received a patent, but many of his other inventions were unsuccessful. Throughout her childhood, the family often suffered financial problems. In 1895 Thomas Rinehart committed suicide.
She attended public high school and then enrolled in nursing school at Pittsburgh's Homeopathic Hospital where she would meet Dr. Stanley Rinehart. The hospital strictly forbid friendships between doctors and staff members. They kept their engagement secret until after her graduation from nursing school when they married. They had three sons; Stanley Jr., Alan and Frederick.
Rinehart did not follow a nursing career. She filled her days with raising her sons and helping her husband with his practice. Life was simple and enjoyable until the couple lost all their savings in the 1903 stock market crash.
Dr. Rinehart continued his practice, while Mary wrote verse, short stories and articles. She wrote 45 stories in 1903 to help pull the family through their financial crisis. Her first novel, The Circular Staircase brought her national attention. It also launched her career as a mystery writer and novelist when the book sold over a million copies.
Around 1909 the Saturday Evening Post published some of her humorous pieces and her Letitia "Tish" Carberry stories. The Saturday Evening Post sent Rinehart to England as a reporter during World War I, and she was in Paris when the war ended.
The Circular Staircase story follows wealthy spinster Rachel Innes who has raised her niece Gertrude, age 24, and her nephew Halsey, age 20, since they were young children. Gertrude and Halsey talk their aunt into renting a country home called "Sunnyside" for the summer. The home belongs to the Armstrongs, a prominent family.
On the second night after arriving, they find Arnold Armstrong, son of the owner dead at the bottom of the circular staircase. Halsey and the friend he brought for a visit both disappear. Halsey returns without his friend and with no explanations of where he was or what happened to his friend.
In the meantime, many other events occur to the worry the residents and the staff. Rachel decides she must solve what is disturbing her household and looks for clues. When she discovers evidence and bits of helpful information, she doesn't initially share with the policeman in charge of the case, Detective Jameson. Nor does Detective Jameson detect. Instead, he waits for those involved to tell the truth.
While searching Rachel is often in dangerous situations. The plot is complex and there are several subplots, but eventually all is revealed and our amateur sleuth restores order to her household.
Rinehart receives credit as one of the first creators of the "Had-I-But-Known" (HIBK) school of mystery. The Circular Staircase is the first story to introduce this technique. This style of writing foreshadows events yet to come. The person narrating the story misses the hint of a disaster waiting for one or more of the characters.
Neither the narrator nor the reader knows of the mistake until revealed near the solution of the crime. This revelation eventually occurs through the presentation of clues. Characters in these mysteries are also the ones who hear a sound in an empty room and rush in to see what happened.
There are typical HIBK statements from the narrator within the story. For our spinster aunt in The Circular Staircase a typical statement is, "had I but known what lay in wait for me, I would never have rented the country house for the summer." Handled properly this mystery device can add a real element of suspense. When not handled with skill, the story could turn into a messy melodrama.
As an avid mystery lover, I'm sure you've heard the phrase "The Butler Did It." Mary Roberts Rinehart receives credit for this phrase from her novel, The Door, published in 1930. I should also note this exact phrase never appears in the work.
Sorry there is no way to give Rinehart credit for this mystery first without giving away the ending. The book is still worth reading because of the interesting plot.
Elizabeth Bell's runs an efficient and quiet household. When the family nurse, Sarah Gittings, is brutally murdered, Elizabeth discovers there are several suspects within her home. Especially when it appears Sarah knew and probably trusted her murderer. The crimes don't stop with Sarah's murder. There's a burglar in the house, along with a shadowy figure who appears and disappears and there is more than one victim before Bell solves the case.
Rinehart quickly wrote The Door in 1930. She was in the hospital recovering from an illness when her sons launched a new publishing house. As a devoted mother she broke her longtime contract with Doubleday and wrote this bestseller to get their new business started.
In June 1929 Rinehart's sons, Stanley M. Rinehart, Jr (president) and Frederick R. Rinehart (partner) joined with John C. Farrar (vice president) and formed Farrar & Rinehart. Rinehart supported her sons by leaving Doubleday. Her best-selling mysteries were the foundation for the new firm.
The firm continued to grow and with the acquisition of Hearst's Cosmopolitan Book Corporation in 1931; it became one of the most successful publishing houses for this period. Best-selling authors for the firm included Rinehart and Hervey Allen's Anthony Adverse (1933) which sold over two million hardcover copies. For mystery lovers, they also published Elizabeth Daly (1940-43) and the first ten (1931-1944) Nero Wolfe books.
They renamed the publishing house, Rinehart and Company when John C. Farrar left the firm in 1946. He formed a new company with Roger Straus that became Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood penned a three-act play called The Bat in 1920. The play used elements from The Circular Staircase and is a combination of mystery and comedy.
It was a dark and stormy night and Cornelia Van Gorder and her guests are at the summer home she's rented. They are spending their time looking for stolen money, supposedly hidden in the house. Interrupting their search efforts is the appearance of a masked criminal called the "Bat." The play also focuses on learning the identity of the masked criminal revealed at the end of the play.
After 867 performances in New York, 327 performances in London and numerous shows by road companies the play was a critical and commercial success. There were several film adaptations, and the play was the basis for the Batman comic book hero. In 1933, RCA's talking book division released a recording of The Bat.
Unlike so many writers, Rinehart's writing career made her a wealthy woman. She had a 24-room seaside home in Bar Harbor, Maine and an elegant apartment on Park Avenue in New York.
Rinehart once made the comment she wished she had a pen that could keep up with the speed of her thoughts. The Parker Pen company created a special snub-nosed fountain pen for her.
She was also a guest on the popular CBS television show Person to Person with Edward R. Murrow in November 9,1956. The show featured stars from stage, screen, television the world of sports and other famous people who reached a pinnacle of success.
In 1947, while staying at her Bar-Harbor home Rinehart's chef attacked her. He worked for her for 25 years, but unexpectedly fired a gun at her and then attempted to slash her with several knives. Other servants rescued her. The police arrested the chef and while being held; he committed suicide in his cell.
Dr. Rinehart accepted a post at the Veterans Administration and the family moved to Washington, DC in 1922. Rinehart joined the Literary Society of Washington and remained a member until 1936.
Dr. Rinehart died in 1932, and Mary remained in Washington until 1935 when she moved to New York City.
Rinehart was left handed. During this time and for years to come, we trained left-handers to use their right hand. I can relate to this having been a left-hander trained to use my right.
She smoked a pack of cigarettes a day; she had breakfast in bed and loved to climb mountains, ride horses and fish.
Rinehart had personal health issues. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a radical mastectomy. She discussed her surgery and urged women to have breast examinations in an article for the Ladies' Home Journal in 1947.
In 1954 she received a special award for her work from the Mystery Writers of America but was too ill to attend the dinner in her honor. She died in 1958 at age 82 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Why do people say Rinehart is the American Agatha Christie? Even though Christie published many years after Rinehart I think her entire body of work offers many comparisons.
Rinehart's pieces are dated, but they accurately capture a time from the past. And remember a good mystery transcends time.
Do you think Mary Roberts Rinehart is the American Agatha Christie? There's only one way to decide. Pick up one of her books and give it a read and decide for yourself.

Libraries as Community Builders
Where do we go these days to connect with each other? The call to "unplug" is growing, and people are turning to their community in hopes of finding friendships and a sense of belonging. Farmers markets, 5K runs, outdoor venues, and festivals of all sorts are drawing crowds of people thirsty for something offline to entertain them, someone to join up with, somewhere to play. The library is a community hub, which, if carefully designed, serves to cultivate kinship. As Robert Putnam put it, "People may go to the library looking mainly for information, but they find each other there."
Proper placement of a library is paramount to its effectiveness as a gathering space. Libraries located in town squares or cultural campuses are naturally utilized as a social setting because these municipal spaces are set up to serve all people. They tend to be connected to bike trails and parks, host community events or provide some type of civic service. People linger in places like these, which is where connections start to happen.
The design of a library also affects how the community interacts with it. Plenty of parking, ample outdoor spaces, attractive architecture and a welcoming entrance will spark curiosity and bring people in the door. Once inside, spaces that serve every age group will instill a sense that all are welcome and everyone belongs. Careful arrangement of a library readily gives rise to community building by gathering people in a comfortable, sensible way.
You will be glad to know that the Clearview Library District has carefully considered its role in the rapidly growing Windsor-Severance-West Greeley area. The library district is committed to standing as a civic pillar that provides the sufficient space and ideal place for people to gather and connect and thrive. As a library Friend, communicating this special role for the library to your neighbors will ensure that Clearview Library District will have the support needed to carry out this worthy endeavor for everyone in our community.


It does not matter if your home is new or 10-15 year old. Garage floors have been known to sink and crack due to the fact that the earth under your garage floor has compacted and you are now effectively driving over a bridge. Your garage floor may become uneven due to winter snow and ice which melts when you park your car in your garage. Some garages do not have a drainage system or the drain that you have may be clogged and not functioning correctly. When snow melts from your car, the water may run to the side of the garage by the wall, get into cracks, seep into the soil and the garage floor begins to settle. When that happens, a void is created from the erosion and your garage floor is becoming more and more unstable. If you don't believe your garage floor could collapse, you may want to think again.
Using a small hammer, tap on the floor of your garage every 3 to 4 feet. Pay special attention to areas on your floor around your car where water may have accumulated. Listen for a same similar sound. If you hit a space on your garage floor that sounds 'hollow' chances are, the earth is settling and your garage floor may be compromised.
Does your floor have small cracks in the cement ?
Does your floor shake slightly when the car is driven over it?
Can you hear the "spaces" when your tires drive over the void. If you think you may have such a situation, ask a friend or a relative to stand in your garage when you drive in. Do they feel a slight movement in the concrete? Do they hear the difference when your tires move over the concrete?
If the answer to any of these tests is positive, your garage floor may be on the verge of sinking. Call us.
When you need a quote for garage floor leveling repair, call the foam lifting experts, Concrete Raising Systems. If your garage floor can't be raised, we'll let you know if it needs to be replaced and why.
If water is pooling in your garage or if you start to see some cracking or if the floor sounds hollow when you drive over it, call us (816) 419-8306. We can evaluate the extent of your garage floor repair.

LE BAIN: You've been based in Ibiza for the last 9 years with your family. Would you say that sunset is the highlight of your daily routine, or do you have another favorite moment of the day?
NIGHTMARES ON WAX: Sunsets were part of our routine when we first moved here but I must admit that my most favorite part of the day, especially in the summer, is between sort of 5pm and midnight, just because it's a lot cooler and because you've gone through such a hot day, it's time to settle down, have some wicked food and go to chill mode.
With its 'second summer of love', Ibiza was a starting point for the Acid House movement in UK in the late 80's. Is it a way for you, as an artist, to go back to your roots, to come full circle?
Talking about your approach to recording, you said "Simplicity is the key to everything." Would you say it's the same with life in general?
Definitely. Less is definitely more. If you take your time when you've got to answer questions, of if you take your time when you have to make a decision and just listen to that voice within, the simple answer will come. So simplicity is definitely the key to everything.
I just think Balearic is the sense of freedom you get wherever you listen to music at sunset or when you feel the cool breeze of the island floating through you.
As a teenager you were one of the original British B-Boys with your crew Solar City Rocker. At that time, did you look up to the NYC scene?
Obviously the Rock Steady Crew was a massive influence on us. The NYC Break was a big influence. We had nothing but great stuff about the Roxy and obviously Union Square. These were all infamous places that we dreamed of as kids, as children, to go to and dance, just to be able to see these places...New York was some sort of holy land for Hip Hop and the B-Boy scene... so yes, New York's got a special place in my heart.
About 'bleep', one of the music genres that you helped create in the very early 90's - would you agree that it was "the purest essence of club music"? Your track 'Dextrous' sounds like the future is now.
We were part of a movement. All the people who were making these tunes at that time were all coming from a breakdancing background, from an electro background, so the bleep had definitely an electro Hip Hop influence in it, even though it seems a little more electronic and more like 4/4 base. Most of the people making bleep records were all B-boys or from the breakdancing scene which then became the House scene, a UK representation of the House scene. It represents the North as well, which is where I'm from, Leeds, it represents Sheffield, Manchester and Nottingham.
Friday, August 21st, Le Bain presents 'Select Summer Fridays' featuring Nightmares on Wax playing at sunset. Door 3pm. The Standard, High Line.

We're talking about a radio station that is all over the music map, with shows ranging from country music on Route 66 to psychedelic on '60s and '70s on Technicolor Dream, to the swank cocktail music of Swizzle Stick. KXCI has shows that feature punk, salsa honky-tonk and world music, and a beloved Locals Only! Do you know any other station that spins local music? We didn't think so.

Joseph Pronechen: Fulton Sheen's Clear Warning About the Anti-Christ
Lauren Enriquez: After Ralph Northam, The 'Bodily Autonomy' Argument For Abortion Is Shot
LET'S RECAP! New York is Celebrating Abortion up to Birth (Video)
In 1947, Archbishop Fulton Sheen forewarned what no one thought possible for these times.
By Joseph Pronechen, National Catholic Register, 2/10/19
During his Jan. 26, 1947, radio broadcast, Venerable Fulton Sheen spoke as if he were peering into the 21st century. During that same talk, he also described what he believed the anti-Christ would be like.
It might not at all be what many will be expecting the anti-Christ would be like, especially at first.
But as we've seen in this same talk not long after the end of World War II "From now on the struggle will be… for the souls of men," he warned. People would begin dividing into two religions as absolutes — "the God Who became man and the man who makes himself God; brothers in Christ and comrades in anti-Christ."
During the talk he described what he saw the anti-Christ being.
Far-seeing Archbishop Sheen said that the anti-Christ will not be called by that name, "otherwise he would have no followers." Same for the way he, the devil, is depicted such as in cartoons because he "will wear no red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrow tail as the Mephistopheles in Faust." Nowhere does Scripture give us this idea of his appearance, Sheen emphasized. But it twists into an unlikely instrument.
"This masquerade has helped the devil convince men that he does not exist," Sheen revealed, setting the stage. The devil "knows that he is never so strong as when men believe that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himself as I am Who am and the devil as 'I am who am not.'"
Has the masquerade worked since 1947? Let's look at what the Center for Research on the Apostolate (CARA) noted in 2017 by looking over past and then current studies. CARA reported that in 1968 Gallup asked adults if they believe there is or is not a devil. 60% believed, 35% didn't, and 5% weren't sure. By 1982, Gallup carried on the survey at CARA's request. Then 70% believed. Same for 2007.
But CARA asked what they believed, and a survey four years later shockingly found that overall, 69% of all who believed in God believed the devil was only a symbol, while breakdowns showed even more shockingly that it appeared 83% of Catholics thought Satan was a symbol. (Of Catholics considered conservatives, 53% believed the devil was real, while of Catholics considered moderates only 49% thought so.)
In a 2017 newspaper interview in Spain, the new superior general of the Society of Jesus said, "We have formed symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil. Social conditioning can also represent this figure, since there are people who act [in an evil way] because they are in an environment where it is difficult to act to the contrary."
But Sheen knew the devil is not a symbol. "Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, and as '"the Prince of this world' whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world," he said, referring to Scripture. "His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgement then evil is good and good is evil."
Stepping aside for a moment, we should also remember Our Lord's words. Jesus made it perfectly clear when he described him: He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Sheen then reminded that Our Lord told us that this devil, the anti-Christ, "will be so much like Himself, that he would deceive even the elect — and certainly no devil we have ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect."
St. Paul wasn't fooled either. He warned the Corinthians about those false ones infiltrating their numbers that (2, 11:14) "even Satan masquerades as an angel of light."
So how might the anti-Christ look and get followers to his "anti-religion"?
False Front
"He will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves," Bishop Sheen warned.
"He will write books on the new idea of God to suit the way people live; induce faith in astrology so as to make not the will but the stars responsible for sins; he will explain guilt away psychologically as inhibited eroticism, make men shrink in shame if their fellowmen say they are not broadminded and liberal; he will be so broadminded as to identify tolerance with indifference to right and wrong, truth and error; he will spread the lie that men will never be better until they make society better and thus have selfishness to provide fuel for the next revolution; he will foster science but only to have armament makers use one marvel of science to destroy another; he will foster more divorces under the disguise that another partner is 'vital'; he will increase love for love and decrease love for person; he will invoke religion to destroy religion; he will even speak of Christ and say that he was the greatest man who ever lived; his mission he will say will be to liberate men from the servitudes of superstition and Fascism, which he will never define."
Much sounds familiar today, doesn't it? That word "tolerance" blankets society. Pew Research reported last October that, by denomination, that 33% of Catholics believed in astrology, 36% in reincarnation, 46% in psychics.
Also last October Pew reported that 76% of Catholics wanted the Church to allow birth control, 61% wanted to allow cohabiting couples to receive Communion, 62% to allow those divorced and remarried without an annulment to receive Communion, 46% to recognize gay/lesbian marriages. Love has deteriorated to Hollywood-record-television definitions. Match them up with what Sheen just described.
Same Old Temptations
Far-sighted Bishop Sheen showed how we servants are like the Master as he described the anti-Christ's using the three temptations with which he tried to tempt Christ in the desert. By the way, Jesus was not tempted in the desert by a symbolic figure as some have come to believe.
First, "the temptation to turn stones into bread as an earthly Messiah will become the temptation to sell freedom for security, as bread became a political weapon, and only those who think his way may eat." Some dictatorships have laid the groundwork with this. Or, we will help your country if you accept these immoral means, systems, ways. Or turning to the government to supply everything.
Second, "the temptation to work a miracle by recklessly throwing Himself from a steeple will become a plea to desert the lofty pinnacles of truth where faith and reason reign, for those lower depths where the masses live on slogans and propaganda."
The anti-Christ "wants no proclamation of immutable principles from the lofty heights of a Church, but mass organization through propaganda…Opinions not truths, commentators not teachers, Gallup polls not principles, nature not grace — and to these golden calves will men toss themselves from their Christ."
Third, asking Jesus to adore the tempter so that all the Kingdoms of the world would be his, "will become the temptation," Sheen explained, "to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a city of man without a city of God, a religion to invoke a religion, or a politics which is a religion — one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God's." How many look for salvation today in and through politics? Did Herod help the Magi to find the Jesus the Messiah? Or even want to?
Counter-Church
Bishop Sheen saw the anti-Christ setting up a counter-Church "which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ."
Because people, lonely and frustrated, desperately need God but refuse to adore him, they will hunger for a larger purpose in life and, ironically, accept the counter-Church. "The Church was critically spurned in the last few centuries because it claimed that it was Catholic and universal, uniting all men on the basis of one Lord, one faith and one Baptism," the saintly bishop explained.
"But in the new era, what the modern lost soul will take particularly about the counter-Church, is that it is catholic or international. It breaks down all national boundaries, laughs down patriotism, dispenses men from piety to country which the Christ enjoined, makes men proud that they are not Americans, French, or British, but members of a revolutionary class under the rule of its Vicar who rules not from the Vatican, but the Kremlin."
Just as St. John tells us, "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared" (1 John 2:18), "and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist (1 John 4:3), Sheen linked to the Kremlin seeing the diabolical Communism as one of the antichrists already present. (Our Lady of Fatima had something to say about this too. And how to avoid it.)
Sheen continued: "in the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality," the anti-Christ "will have one great secret which he will tell to no one; he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God…"
Already in 1947 Sheen saw the signs of the times and how the disorder would tie into "the wages of sin."
Trials and Unwavering Hope
Sheen repeated Christ's words on the way to Calvary: Weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children (Luke 23:28). But the saintly bishop was firm in hope, never leaving and letting us wallow in hand-wringing anguish and inaction. He told us not to think that in speaking of the "emergence of the anti-Christ against Christ" that he feared for the Church. "We do not," he stressed.
"It is for the world we fear. It is not infallibility we are worried about, but the world's lapse into fallibility. We tremble not that God may be dethroned, but that barbarism may reign. It is not Transubstantiation that may perish, but the home. Not the sacraments that may fade away, but the moral law."
He said this in the days of sounder morals, respectability, politeness in most families and circles, as he envisioned what was to come.
"The Church has survived other great crises" along the centuries "and she will live to sing a requiem over the evils of the present," he said. The Church has its Good Fridays "but these are only preludes to its Easter Sundays, for the Divine Promise shall never be made void: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world."(Matthew 28:20)
The anti-Christ coming with his anti-Church will never win although the Church will face hard times and seem in eclipse as the Catechism teaches. So Sheen cautioned, "St. Peter told the Romans in the days of delirium: 'Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?" (2 Peter 3:11)
As we've seen, the good bishop advised keeping in the state of grace, getting faith if you had none, and praying because the "most important problem in the world today is your soul, for that is what the struggle is about." And beseeching St. Michael and Our Lady for help.
Because "the time is nearer than you think."

Q: How initialize weights of a `torch.nn.Transformer` module? I am using a vanilla transformer architecture from the "Attention Is All You Need" paper for a sequence-to-sequence task. As shown in the following code.
Assuming that I would like to use the torch.nn.init.kaiming_uniform_ initialization method, how would one go about initializing the weights of the nn.Transformer ?
Is it necessary to use a custom encoder and decoder class in order for that to happen?
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import math

# helper Module that adds positional encoding to the token embedding to introduce a notion of word order.

        super(PositionalEncoding, self).__init__()

        den = torch.exp(- torch.arange(0, emb_size, 2)* math.log(10000) / emb_size)
        pos = torch.arange(0, maxlen).reshape(maxlen, 1)
        pos_embedding = torch.zeros((maxlen, emb_size))
        pos_embedding[:, 0::2] = torch.sin(pos * den)
        pos_embedding[:, 1::2] = torch.cos(pos * den)
        pos_embedding = pos_embedding.unsqueeze(-2)

The Sedition Act was passed by Congress in 1918. The law made it a crime to criticize by speech or writing the government or Constitution. During the Red Scare (1919-20) A. Mitchell Palmer, the attorney general and his special assistant, John Edgar Hoover, used the Sedition Act and the Espionage Act (1917) to launch a campaign against radicals and left-wing organizations. Under these two laws 1500 people were arrested for disloyalty. Most were eventually released but Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, Mollie Steimer and 245 other people, were deported to Russia.

Super Rugby Pacific will kick off a new era for the world's most exciting professional rugby competition next February with a 15-week regular season and a refreshed finals format, New Zealand Rugby [NZR] and Rugby Australia [RA] have announced.
The 2022 season will be historic for rugby in the Pacific region with the introduction of the Fijian Drua and Moana Pasifika who will join New Zealand's five clubs and Australia's five clubs in a 12-team tournament.
Delivered by the joint venture partnership between NZR and RA, Super Rugby Pacific will kick off on 18 February next year with an eight-team playoff series culminating in a final on 18 June with NZR's long-standing broadcast partner Sky providing live and exclusive access to all 91 matches.
Ardie Savea overwhelmed by honour of captaining All Blacks
Features of the Super Rugby Pacific competition structure are:
12 teams (in alphabetical order), being the Blues, Brumbies, Chiefs, Crusaders, Fijian Drua, Highlanders, Hurricanes, Melbourne Rebels, Moana Pasifika, NSW Waratahs, Queensland Reds and Western Force
Teams will play 14 regular season matches with each team to host seven matches
Teams will play eight teams once and three teams twice with an emphasis on derby matches
There will be one points table with teams ranked one to 12 based on competition points
The top eight teams on the points table will qualify for a three-week playoff format
Quarterfinals will be – 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 with the top ranked team playing at home
Top ranked quarter-final winners will host the semi-finals, and top-ranked winner of the semi-finals will host the final
18-week season all completed prior to the July international window
"We are entering an incredibly exciting new phase for rugby in the Pacific region," New Zealand Rugby general manager professional rugby and high performance Chris Lendrum said
"The Trans-Tasman rivalries are crucial to our sport in the Southern Hemisphere, and the existing Super Rugby clubs have built a wonderful history and legacy over 26 years.
"Moana Pasifika and the Fijian Drua will add an enormous amount of energy, skill and talent to the competition, not to mention a passionate support base.
"The Pasifika nations have added so much to world rugby over the years and this is an opportunity to enhance the standing of Pasifika rugby.
"Fans are going to see incredible skill and athleticism, and the regular season and finals series will undoubtedly unearth the best side in the tournament."
Fiji Rugby Union will announce where the Fijian Drua's home matches will be played in the coming days, while Moana Pasifika will play their home fixtures primarily in New Zealand.
Super Rugby Pacific's two new entrants will play each other twice in the first two seasons with other examples where teams play twice to be determined by a seeding process based on 2021 results, with an emphasis on local derbies.
"We're thrilled to confirm the competition model for next year and beyond and want to thank NZR for their hard work and effort along with the Fijian Drua and Moana Pasifika for their patience, and the effort that has been put into their proposals," RA chief executive Andy Marinos said.
"This is a game-changer for Rugby in the Pacific, and indeed, the rest of the rugby world. We have seen the brilliant rugby that Fijians play in all formats of the game and their inclusion will make this new competition one of the toughest in the world."
Moana Pasifika Chair Savae Sir Michael Jones said: "Moana Pasifika acknowledges and thanks New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia for their commitment to building an exciting Super Rugby Pacific competition and the round-robin format definitely makes it even more attractive. It is a historic time for rugby in the Pacific and we're thrilled to be a part of it."
Fiji Rugby CEO John O'Connor, on behalf of the Fijian Drua, said they are thrilled to see a format that offers all participating teams a fair shot at the playoffs. He also expressed gratitude to NZR and RA for making Fiji's Super Rugby dreams come true.
"The South Pacific has traditionally been the game's talent goldmine globally, but NZR and RA's commitment will help us provide professional pathways for our players right here at home.
"We will repay the steadfast faith shown by our partners by bringing high octane flair and skills that are uniquely Fijian to Super Rugby Pacific.
"The Fijian Drua eagerly look forward to announcing the next milestones in our journey, which will include assembling a squad of players who will light up the competition and delight fans week in, week out."
The Super Rugby Pacific draw will be announced in coming weeks.

Steve Davis admits that the continued improvement in Ben Garratt has seen his move for another loanee goalkeeper put on hold for the time being. Garratt, 19, has been improving with each game and produced arguably one of his best performances of his young career to keep out two point-blank headers from Bradford's target man James Hanson.
Garratt, a former England Youth International kept the Alex in the game at a crucial time during Saturday's six-goal thriller and Davis says that the Market-Drayton based stopper deserves the number one spot.
Steve told the club's official web-site: "Ben is improving with each game and he played well for us on Saturday. He made two excellent saves from point blank headers and we know he is a good shot-stopper.
"He is still young but he learns quickly and he has been working hard with Steve (Phillips). His kicking has improved. He is getting more distance and accuracy with his kicking. He has a great attitude to the work and has shown that he has the right temperament to cope with the occasion.
"He has played in front of a hostile home crowd at Wolves and then again at Bradford and has shown that he can cope. He wasn't affected by it and his concentration levels have been good.
"He will make mistakes as he is still a teenager but he has to go through that process, like all young players do. He is a brave and is growing up quickly.


Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala was named Women's Footballer of the Year Asisat in Ghana's capital city Accra on Thursday night.
Oshoala previously won the award in 2014 and 2016. She beat Cameroonian Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene and Chrestina Kgatlana of South Africa to the top prize.
The 2015 BBC Women's Footballer of the Year moved to Dalian Quanjian of China at the beginning of last season after enduring a not-so-successful period in England with Liverpool and Arsenal LAdies.
In her first season in China, she notched 12 goals including a brace in the final game of the season. Her exploits earned Quanjian a league and Cup double and she was crowned the League's Best Striker.

va ser un matemàtic suec que va ser rector de la universitat d'Estocolm.

Vida i Obra
En acabar els seus estudis secundaris a Estocolm el 1878, va ingressar al Reial Institut de Tecnologia d'Estocolm on només va estudiar durant un curs, ja que l'any següent va continuar els estudis a la universitat d'Uppsala en la qual es va graduar el 1881. El 1890 va obtenir el doctorat a la mateixa universitat i va començar a donar classes d'anàlisi matemàtica a la recentment fundada (1878) universitat d'Estocolm. A partir de 1892, també va donar classes simultàniament al Reial Institut de Tecnologia. A partir de 1905, en dimitir Lars Edvard Phragmén, va ocupar el seu lloc de professor titular de la universitat d'Estocolm i el 1911 en va ser escollit rector, càrrec que va mantenir fins al 1927, quan es va retirar.

Bendixson va demostrar el seu talent matemàtic des de ben jove: el 1882, només un any després de graduar-se, ja va publicar el seu primer article en el que enunciava i demostrava el teorema de Cantor-Bendixson. No obstant, en els darrers anys, més dedicat a les tasques administratives que li exigia el seu lloc de rector, ja no va fer gaire recerca matemàtica. La seva principal contribució va ser el teorema de Poincaré-Bendixson, una aproximació topològica al comportament de les òrbites properes a un punt singular.

Juntament amb el seu col·lega, Phragmén, i a les ordres de Gösta Mittag-Leffler van involucrar-se intensament en les tasques d'edició de Acta Mathematica, la revista fundada per aquest darrer.

D'altra banda, Bendixson va mantenir sempre una ideologia radical lliberal que el va portar a participar en diverses commissions per a la millora de la vida dels més desfavorits o per la millora del règim electoral, i el va convertir en un dels més coneguts portaveus del Partit Liberal de Suècia.
