Snapshot ... Tracey Kitchen's grandparents' wedding, c1941.
I love this photograph of my grandparents' wedding, c1941. I loved them both – my nana, with her wicked sense of humour, always pleased to see me, and my grandad, solid, dependable and totally under my toddler-sized thumb. In this photo, Charlie is wearing his Royal Artillery uniform, having taken two days leave of duty to marry his sweetheart, Hilda.
I can't remember how old I was when I learned that Grandad was a soldier during the second world war. It is like two different people: the young man called up and sent to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force and the man I knew, swinging his leg over his bike and calling "cheerio" on his way back to work, or sinking his top lip into his pint of beer at the working men's club on a Saturday night.
Nana worked at Woolworths, and for the duration of the war, spent her evenings on a rota as a fire watcher on the roof of the Bedford store. She may have been old enough to watch for incendiary bombs and to marry her Charlie, but she still wasn't allowed to see Glenn Miller's band play at Bedford Corn Exchange. She remained with her parents until Grandad returned, after six years at war, his discharge papers noting "exemplary service".
By the time this photograph was taken, Grandad had made it back from Dunkirk, unlike many of his comrades. Outgunned and forced to retreat, he had spent several days on the beach, waiting to be returned to Britain. He was in the water for hours with his fellow soldiers, enemy planes overhead, waiting for the boat that would take his unit to a waiting frigate. He would have boarded, had another unit not taken priority. A German Stuka dropped its bomb straight down that boat's funnel, obliterating all on board. Grandad had many near misses during his active service – but always believed that he would return home. I'm glad he did, or I wouldn't be here – and I wouldn't have known such a lovely man. I remember paddling in the sea with him when I was small, having been bribed with a £1 note by Nana. I was afraid, although I had no idea of the sorts of things that might have happened on beaches. We were both non-swimmers, but Grandad's was the only hand I felt safe holding.
When I look at this photograph, I am so proud of them – of their resilience and determination. I am particularly amazed at the experiences apparently filed away in the mind of this quiet man, and grateful for the happy memories he gave me. I wish they were still here, so I could tell them how much I appreciated them, and discover more about their lives together.
Listen to Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.
In 1967, before health and safety and risk assessments, I worked my summer vacation as a ferryman on the Manchester ship canal. My job was to stand at the stern of a 20ft open rowing boat and scull passengers, gondolier-style, on the five-minute crossing between Flixton and Irlam, which sat on opposite sides of the canal. There were no lifejackets, no communications or backup engine and I loved it. For an 18-year-old student, it was a dream job – fresh air, independence, exercise and good banter with the passengers. Not to mention an adrenalin rush when you were halfway across and a tanker ship appeared from round the bend.
That summer, I was delegated to do the night shift. After about 11pm, when the pubs had closed, there were few people needing to cross the canal and I spent most of the night in the ferryman's shanty on the Irlam side, reading, or listening to the Beatles on a cassette player. I was a founder member of the Beatles' fan club, a devout fan. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band had recently been released and proved a seminal moment in my relationship with their music. I was pretty much obsessed.
One balmy evening when all was quiet, a good friend and fellow Beatles maniac turned up at the shanty with six bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale and some "recreational" cigarettes. There was no traffic on the canal at night, so we slipped the ferry boat off its moorings and drifted out into the starlight. We lay back to the sound of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, got merry on the beer and pot, and voiced profound thoughts, which in the cold light of day were probably rubbish.
Hours later, we were flaked out in the cabin when I was disturbed by a frantic clanging sound. A passenger on the opposite side of the canal was anxious to get to work and was venting his frustration on the call bell. I then realised that my buddy had woken early, taken my boat over to the other side of the canal and disappeared home. I quickly got on my bike to cycle the quarter of a mile downstream to Irlam locks where I crept under the lockmaster's window (he was my boss), across the lock gates and back up the other side to rescue my boat.
The LSD song always transports me back to that night on the canal – to blossoming adulthood without the responsibilities, the starry night and the verbal abuse I received from a passenger late for work. Some years later, I heard that the lockmaster knew exactly what had happened, and had taken great delight in my panic and subterfuge.
Take a Weetabix, add a layer of clotted cream (as thick as you dare), then sprinkle liberally with caster sugar. Add a little bit of milk around the Weetabix to soften, and enjoy.
It sounds disgusting but it is rather good. The Weetabix acts a bit like a scone, setting off the cream and it is all about the cream. I hasten to add that this was a rare treat, reserved for high days and holidays.
Dad didn't have a sweet tooth and wasn't keen on puddings. He did, however, have a lifelong passion for clotted cream (perhaps linked to happy childhood memories of the West Country). Puddings were only tolerated if liberally smothered in Cornwall's finest export. We used to joke that Dad had Weetabix/strawberries/meringues/treacle tart as the accompaniment to the cream, rather than vice versa.
In the late 80s, clotted cream wasn't as readily available as it is now and ensuring sufficient quantities for Christmas (it is far preferable to brandy butter on mince pies and Christmas pudding) required careful planning. One year, Dad ordered an ice-cream carton's worth of clotted cream from the high-end deli near the bank branch in London where he worked. When he went to collect the order, the deli had to confess that they had forgotten it. My dad was an extremely polite and restrained man, but the thought of Christmas without clotted cream was too much and, to the embarrassment of my middle sister (who had gone to work with him that day) – he demanded that the deli find a solution. Later that afternoon, a delivery of clotted cream from Fortnum & Mason arrived at his office in a taxi. That story is repeated whenever we eat clotted cream.
Dad died in 2014 and is a much missed husband, father and grandfather. At family celebrations, clotted cream (although not normally on Weetabix) helps us to remember him.

Q: Creating a stack from a circular linked list in order to print the list reversely im solving some stuff for practice for my test. The question in my text book asks me to print the stuff in the circular linked list reversely. so my idea was to create a stack, move the stuff to the stack and then pop it.
Here is what i've done:
    public void reversePrint() {
   Stack stack = new Stack();

   Node<E> temp = list;
   do {
   stack.push(temp);
   temp = temp.getNext();
   } while (temp != list);

   while (!stack.empty()) {
   System.out.print(stack.pop());
   }
   }

circularlist.java
    public class CircularList<E> implements List<E> {

  Node<E> list;
  int size;

  public CircularList() {
    list = new Node(null);
    list.setNext(list);
    size = 0;
  }

  @Override
  public void add(E element) {
    Node<E> newNode = new Node(element);
    newNode.setNext(list.getNext());
    list.setNext(newNode);
    size++;
  }

  @Override
  public boolean remove(E element) {
    Node<E> location = find(element);
    if (location != null) {
      location.setNext(location.getNext().getNext());
      size--;
    }
    return location != null;
  }

  @Override
  public E get(E element) {
    Node<E> location = find(element);
    if (location != null) {
      return (E) location.getNext().getInfo();
    }
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public boolean contains(E element) {
    return find(element) != null;
  }

  @Override
  public int size() {
    return size;
  }

  @Override
  public Iterator<E> iterator() {
    return new Iterator<E>() {
      Node<E> tmp = list.getNext();

      @Override
      public boolean hasNext() {
        return tmp != list;
      }

      @Override
      public E next() {
        E info = tmp.getInfo();
        tmp = tmp.getNext();
        return info;
      }

      @Override
      public void remove() {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
      }
    };
  }

  protected Node<E> find(E element) {
    Node<E> tmp = list;
    while (tmp.getNext() != list && !tmp.getNext().getInfo().equals(element)) {
      tmp = tmp.getNext();
    }

    if (tmp.getNext() == list) {
      return null;
    } else {
      return tmp;
    }

}
Node.java
public class Node<E> {

  E info;
  Node<E> next;

  public Node(E element) {
    info = element;
    next = null;
  }

  public void setInfo(E element) {
    info = element;
  }

  public E getInfo() {
    return info;
  }

  public void setNext(Node<E> next) {
    this.next = next;
  }

  public Node<E> getNext() {
    return next;
  }
}

My problem is i cannot use do. I need a different solution instead. Any help?

A: I assume that you have LinkedList written yourself (using the Node<T> class).
If the list is doubly linked:
Start from the last element in the list (if you don't store a reference to the tail iterate the nodes until the last is reached) and traverse the list using getPrevious() (whatever the opposite of getNext() is named).
If the list is single linked:
Instead of using a Stack, you could recursively traverse the list and print the elements when unwinding.
public static void <T> reverse(Node<T> current, Node<T> stopAt) {
   Node<T> next = current.getNext();
   if (next != stopAt) {
      reverse(next);
   }
   System.out.println(next.getValue(), stopAt);
}

That is simple but not really efficient. If the list holds too many elements you could even run into problems with too deep recursion depth.
*edit : fixed termination condition

A: If you're "allowed" to use a while loop, you can just convert your do loop into that, using break to get out:
while (true) {
    stack.push(temp);
    temp = temp.getNext();
    // If we're back to the beginning, we're done
    if (temp == list) {
        break;
    }
}

Or if you can use the size, it's even easier:
Node<E> temp = list;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    stack.push(temp);
    temp = temp.getNext();
}

Privatization of education in the US is not yet encountering organized resistance like in Mexico, but as Wall Street and the White House continue to impose this anti-democratic initiative and others on American society, the day is approaching when anti-privatization strikes in Chicago may mirror those in Colombia. As poverty and social exclusion intensifies as a result of neoliberal fascism and its privatizing agenda, the streets in America could soon look like Oaxaca Libre.
For twenty years, the Building Industry Association of Washington has engaged in money-laundering to corrupt elections and undermine environmental protection laws in Washington State. In the 1990s, we fought the BIAW and its paid agent provocateurs who incited violence against environmental activists and Indian tribes, but we received no help from state oversight and enforcement agencies. Last month, the Washington Supreme Court finally handed a blow to the BIAW in the form of upholding an Appeals Court decision ordering the BIAW to return millions in illegally diverted funds.
While this money-laundering initially corrupted or threatened county governments in 14 counties, it was only in the last decade that it came close to buying two governor's races. I suspect this was ultimately the impetus for the recent court decision.
Sometimes justice takes a while.

Hello, thank you for the question.
Your son is Alberta, where are you?
Does he have a lawyer?
I'm in bc. And no he doesn't have a lawyer yet.
It's obvious that he needs one, has he gone to see legal aid yet? Does he know when he'll have some legal help?
No he didn't . He is in a panic and runny around with his heart ripped out. How did this happen when it's mom that is the user?
Ok, I'd rather be talking to him, but I'm talking to you so I want you to take a deep breath, and prepare to get really objective about what's going on. I'll explain it. You're not going to like it.
Firstly, you're obviously very incensed by what's going on and trying to take an active role, in order to help your son or save your granddaughter. That's not helping. You have to stop. You're setting your son up in an antagonistic relationship with the child welfare authorities, when what he needs to do is to get them onside.
You need to understand that you're not a party to the decision making (because you're not a a parent) and your input and support mean little because you live in another province.
I tell all my client's in these situations two things:
1) Don't fight with the workers, that's your lawyers job.
2) This has nothing to do with what's fair to you, the parent.
This isn't custody/access litigation where it's a comparison test between the parenting of mom and dad. It's child protection court, which is a totally different animal.
When you've read that over, and you're getting your head around it, let me know and we'll continue.
Can you ask your son if he' been served with court papers? When his court date is? And whether he's been in touch with legal aid? Don't fan his panic or his ripped out heart, because that's not helping. What is helping is encouraging him to take charge of the situation and get into the driver's seat.
Nathan has talked to legal aid this morning. Paper work started. It may take 2-4 weeks.has not recieved any papers other than opinion from worker and .mothers parents. Reguarding his pain killers and jenna's unhappiness.Nathan has a crumbling spine and has applied for disability pension. One thing on the paper was the fact that he is behind in child support so mom wants jenna away from him until he pays up.
Is there a court order between the parents regarding custody and access?
What happened with your son's drug test?
And what does the opinion letter from the worker say, exactly? If you know.
drug test results not in yet but he knows he's cleanThe letter says because of fighting between her parents that it is stressfull for jenna. That her matinal grand parents say that jenna used to be a happy girl.now is is unhappy possibly making things up out of loyalty to her dad. That there is consern from her grandparents about mom' meth use and dad's pain killers jenna mother did tell jenna that she couldn't see her dad till he cought up on child support. Since he will have a copy of an order see her supervised visits. I'm not sure what that means.nathan thought that it ment that the case worker will be stopping by at anytime. Which he is fine with. Papers are to be delivered to him. Nathan has been seperated for 1 1/5 years now nathan has set up a conference call for him myself another support person and the case worker on thrursday the12 at 1
There has been no court orders or papers filed. Nathan said he would do that with his lawyer.
OK, I understand.
When someone is wrong, you don't convince them that they are wrong by yelling at them that they are being wrong. I think you'll agree.
I'm going to assume that everything you've told me is true. I'm not saying that you're lying, but it strikes me as likely that you don't have the whole truth, and that you may have been lied to by your son about his drug use. Naturally, you support your son unconditionally. But he wouldn't be the first to be self medicating with a serious back problem. Just keep an open mind.
What do you have to contribute to the conference call? I really think you should stay out of it because your son needs to take the reins here, rather than you for him. You've taken the step of contacting a lawyer here and trying to find answers. You say that he's panicked and has his "heart ripped out". He's the one who has to stand up for himself.
I've been doing this work for a long time. Yes, all of this seems unfair. But it has nothing to do with what's fair to either parent. If the social workers believe that the child is at risk of harm, physical or emotional, they will step in. If the mother's parents are there and keeping things safe and better for the child, then the workers will say that the child can stay with mom. They don't move the child from mom to dad as a reward to dad for not being on drugs.
Let's get this support issue out of the way. Access and support are not tied together. If your son is behind on support, that's no reason to deny access. The workers should know this. If mother is telling the child that dad is a deadbeat, she's emotionally abusing the child. The workers know this too. Which is why I suspect you're not getting the whole truth from your son, or that your son doesn't understand himself what is going on.
Legal Aid might not give dad a lawyer if there's no protection application started in court. Usually it spends it's taxpayer dollars on matters which are already in litigation. It shouldn't take 2-4 weeks for a decision on legal aid, that would be the case only if your son has been rejected on grounds that he doesn't qualify financially and he's appealed that decision, or that legal says it doesn't hand out free lawyers until there's court, and he's appealed that decision. Legal Aid's decisions are usually made very quickly once the full financial disclosure is made to it.
You just wrote that your son said he'd do this with his lawyer. That's not how it works. If the child welfare authorities believe that a child is at risk of harm and that a court order is needed to keep the child safe, ie an order placing the child with a parent under terms of supervision, then child services brings the application. A court order in a child protection case trumps a court order made in custody/access court.
So, if your son has access under a court order and the social workers are interfering with that when they haven't got a court order, then he may need to act. But he's putting the cart before the horse, leading me to believe that doesn't understand what's going on. And if he doesn't then he can't explain it to you properly.
If you really want to help him, you have few options:
1) go out there and stay with him to be a support for him, help him get around, stay organized, and stay focused.
2) get him a lawyer of his own.
3) stop assuming that your son is the victim here and acknowledge that he doesn't know what's going on either, so your charging in to defend him is pointless.
The mother is unlikely to let you speak to the child. She'll say correctly that you have no right to and that it'll only disturb and confuse the child because you're upset and trying to advocate for your son. Plus you can't make her.
At age 12, a court will want to know what a child thinks about all of this and what they want, but that's only a piece of evidence for the court to consider. Children don't have the right to decide custody and access matters at age 12. That's a myth. If the court wants the child's input, it will appoint a social worker or lawyer to the child to bring the child's views and preferences, and the strength and independence of those views and preferences, to the court.
In summary, I'm saying that child protection law is a very specialized field of family law with its own legislation and goals. It's not a comparison test between the parents. Complaining about fairness to the workers gets you absolutely nowhere, in fact it gets you worse off because it makes the workers think that the complainer is more concerned about their own "rights" than about the potential risks to the child.
I'm sure that this wasn't what you wanted to hear. But if I tell you "yes, your son has been wronged, go in their you lioness and protect your cubs!" you'd feel better but then I'm doing the opposite of helping you.
If your son has supervised access, that likely means at the agency. Your son should do whatever access is offered. He should make the most of his time with the child, not discuss the litigation or the mother, and view it as an opportunity to generate favourable evidence for himself rather than view it as punishment based solely on the mother's squawking that he's behind on support. There's more going on here than he knows, and more too that he's not telling you I guarantee it.
If court papers are being delivered to him, that's likely what he needs to complete his application to legal aid. He should make sure he's got together everything he needs to apply so that when he's served he can apply right away, perhaps in person at the court house if they take applications there. If he has everything he needs, he might be approved on the spot.
We've gone over a lot. I hope that you'll take what I wrote in the right spirit. I'm trying to help you by getting you to veer off the course you've charted for your involvement because it's not going to help. I'm trying to help you by getting you to support your son rather than fight his battle for him; you can't do it because you're not the parent and you're not in the province. I'm trying to help your son by having you get him to stop worrying about his broken heart and start taking care of business, because what he's told you doesn't make a lot of sense.
I'm sure you'll have follow up questions or want clarification, this can be complicated stuff. I'll wait for your reply. But if you're satisfied that I've answered you fully, I'll ask you for a positive service rating please.
Hello Dorothy, have you spoken to Stephen since I wrote last? Did you have that conference call with the social worker?
Ulysses101 and 87 other Canada Law Specialists are ready to help you
The conference call for Nathan is on thursday morning. I thank you for help. I felt like a fish out of water . I have calmed down. I think Nathan is thinking better with your help. I'll be in the conference call only for support no anger. Nathan wanted me to call his daughter but I don't want to upset jenna father or make case worker upset.I will go out to support him . You said to get him a lawyer but what steps does the lawyer need to help him do next?
I'm glad that you and your son are seeing it in a more objective light.
You made the right choice to not call the child; nothing productive could have come from it.
If I were your son's lawyer, the first thing I'd do is see if the workers are going to commence an application for a child protection order. If not, then they have no specific right to override the custody/access order, whatever it says as between these parents.
I'd certainly tell the workers that I'm not thrilled with their protection concerns apparently extending to supporting mother in denying access for reasons of child support arrears, which are utterly irrelevant, and that by doing so they are enabling mother's attempts at parental alienation.
Then I'd tell my client to do some supervised access on a "without prejudice" basis, without agreeing that such is necessary, but only to show that his relationship with his daughter is solid and appropriate.
I'm not suggesting at all that you or your son do this yourselves, like I wrote: the lawyer's job is to fight the workers and the parents' job is to be child focussed, do the programming as recommended, and exercise as much access as possible and make sure it goes well.
But that's just my initial thoughts; I'd need a lot more information, to see the opinion letter and court order and have a long talk with my client about the alleged protection concerns and that I'm not his mother so I need the absolute truth with no whining.
I take my clients firmly in hand though, because they usually need it. Often they need to be told to get off the horse of "their rights" and "what's fair" as I wrote earlier.
Thank you for the accept and the bonus too, I appreciate it. Good luck, and if you want to follow up with me here please feel free. But your son's lawyer will be in the best position to help him there of course. I hope he gets one and soon.

The Grande Dame of New Hampshire's Lakes Region is beautiful, blue Lake Winnipesaukee, a year-round vacation destination. The lake, which covers 72 square miles and includes 253 islands, is a monster in size, but it should not overshadow the equally lovely Squam Lakes. This group, consisting of Big Squam Lake, Little Squam Lake, and White Oak Pond, is where the Hollywood movie "On Golden Pond" was filmed. The Squam Lakes, at the base of the White Mountains, includes some of the most pristine bodies of water in New Hampshire. Major towns in the region include Wolfeboro, on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. The town, which claims in its motto to be "the Oldest Summer Resort in America," is rustic and homey, and is a popular summer destination for families with kids. Another notable town in the region is Moultonborough, which touches Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake. Moultonborough also is home to Castle in the Clouds. Built in 1913-1914, this stone mansion is a prime example of the Arts and Crafts architectural style of the early 20th century. Visitors to the 5,500-acre estate may tour the castle, walk to cascading waterfalls, ride the trolley, and feed the trout on Shannon Pond. Throughout the region, the fall foliage is spectacular, framed by blue sky and water.

Description of the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
The film Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood is a historical tragicomedy from the cult director Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds) according to his own script. The story will unfold around the film industry in the era of the seventies, where the main characters are looking for work, and the public is shocked by the monstrous crimes of the Charles Manson sect. At the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, the film was nominated for the Golden Palm Branch and received a special prize "Palm Dog Award". Among the producers of the film are also David Hayman (Gravity, Light in the Ocean, Adventures of Paddington) and Shannon McIntosh (Tusk).
The plot of the picture will immerse viewers in the sunset of the so-called "Golden Age" of Hollywood cinema, which came in the seventies. The world of the film industry began to change, new rules of the game and the creation of truly high-profile and hit projects appeared. In the changing world of cinema, Rick Talton, the star of the main roles on television and his stunt stunt double for stunt scenes, is trying to turn around and find a job. Heroes are waiting for a complete immersion in the world of creating new films of that time and going through the entire business connected with Hollywood, where friendship and betrayal are capable of succeeding each other, and against the backdrop of a major tragedy of the murder.
The cast of the film includes such famous stars as Leonardo DiCaprio (Survivor, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Great Gatsby, Titanic), Brad Pitt (To the Stars, Allies, Rage, War of the Worlds Z), Al Pacino (Worse Than A False , Real Guys, The Right to Kill), Kurt Russell (Fast and Furious 8, Deep Sea Horizon), as well as Margot Robbie (Two Queens, Slammed, Tonya against all, Suicide Squad), Timothy Olyphant (Snowden, Live Yourself Next, Perfect Escape), Dakota Fanning (Underworld, Now is the time, Fifth Dimension), Sidney Sweeney (Chamber), Dreama Walker (Expe iment "Obedience", Gran Torino), Margaret Cuello (Goodfellas).

AMA: Public system would 'likely collapse' without private
The AMA says it expects significant long-term funding commitments on primary care in the upcoming Budget and election policies.
The federal government has brought forward the Budget to early April and the election is expected to be held in May.
In its 2019-20 pre-Budget submission, the AMA is focused on what it calls the major pillars of the health system – public hospitals, the private health sector, PBS and primary care.
It says it does plan to release a broader policy agenda - encompassing Indigenous health, public health, prevention, and other issues - ahead of the election.
It says the public health system "would likely collapse" without the private system but adds it believes in a "simpler and fairer private health insurance system."
According to the AMA in its submission, "Already we have struggling public hospitals - we can't allow this to get any worse. It was impossible for consumers to understand the multiplicity of carveouts, restrictions and exclusions of the 70,000 variations of policies, that made up our Private Health Insurance system. Something had to change.
"This is the reason the AMA supported the Government's reforms of Private Health Insurance, including the concept of developing the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Basic health insurance products – but we believe we must go further.
"The AMA has been at the table for private health insurance reforms working alongside insurers, hospital groups, consumer groups, and Government on an approach we can all agree on, and we have been at the table on out-of-pocket costs. But there is no doubt that further reform is needed, and it needs to consider the full range of underlying concerns our patients have."
It backs transparency in out-of-pocket consumer costs but calls on the government to establish a website that includes comprehensive details beyond just doctor fees, including rebates provided by private health insurers.
It also calls on the government to fund an "extensive" consumer education campaign on private health insurance reforms and additional resources for the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman (PHIO).
On the ongoing review of Medicare (MBS), the AMA calls for an "increase the lead time" the government provides before new MBS items take effect. It also wants more information on the "methodology and logic" behind any changes to "give the funds [private health insurers] the chance to consider and make appropriate changes, and to guard against funding reductions."


President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma has described the third India-Africa Forum Summit as an excellent opportunity for the African continent and the sub-continent of India to build upon the historic and fraternal South-South cooperation that exists between developing countries.
He made this statement during the second plenary session of the Summit currently underway in the historic city of New Delhi today Thursday 29 October, 2015.
"Africa is inspired by India as a great model of technological advancement, research and development," he said.
President Koroma further noted that Africa seeks to nurture this inspiration in harnessing the continent's resources for growth, stability and development, saying that Africa is ready for business, and prepared to build synergies for trade and investment. "We seek a win-win partnership based on public sector facilitation and private sector centrality," he stressed.
The president commended India's leadership in advancing the cause of the global South within the frameworks of the Group of 77 and China, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Commonwealth, the G-20 and the United Nations.
"Today the International community is discussing and acting on climate change, environmental degradation, desertification, light weapons and the fights against terrorism, human trafficking, drugs and piracy. These are critical concerns for Africa and India," he pointed out, and emphasized the fact that Africa's population is not only the more at risk, but also the least able to weather the devastating effects of these trans-border events.
With nearly half the word's population, India/Africa synergies on these matters, President Koroma said, is central to the future of humanity.
He went on to explain that because Africa has the biggest youth populations and the people are becoming the mainstay of humanity's progress as well as the future of the world, he called for cooperation to secure that future. "India and Africa must build a great partnership to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals," he urged.
Sierra Leone's President Koroma also urged that the future must be based on democratic and inclusive global institutions. "It is in this light that we seek India's support, as the world's biggest democracy, for Africa's quest for a more inclusive United Nations," he underscored amidst rapturous applause.
"This is why, Excellencies, as coordinator of the African Union Committee of Ten (C-10) on the Reform of United Nations Security Council, I would like to use this platform to solicit the support of India for Africa's bid for two permanent seats in the UN Security Council with all the privileges involved, as enshrined in Ezulwini Consensus and Sirte Declaration," he reiterated.
President Koroma also lauded India's support for peace, stability and growth in Sierra Leone, and noted that India's contribution to United Nations Peacekeeping operations helped bring lasting peace to Sierra Leone and many other parts around the globe.
"Today, my Government contributes troops and supports peacekeeping operations in Africa and other lands. We seek partnerships with India in furthering this important arm of global stability and peace," said the Head of State.
On the issue of the devastating effects of the Ebola outbreak, President Koroma informed that Sierra Leone was being commended for its remarkable progress in ensuring peace, stability and steady economic growth when Ebola struck a little over a year ago. The outbreak, he said, has taken a heavy toll on the entire socio-economic fabric of Sierra Leone and its neighbors. He however informed that with support from international friends, the country fought back. "Today, we have almost defeated the evil virus. We have had no cases of the disease for nearly two months now, and we are just days to Sierra Leone being declared Ebola Free by the World Health Organization," he confidently explained. He therefore called on India as a leading innovator of health products and programs, education, ICT and agriculture in the developing world to support Sierra Leone in ensuring success in these areas.
In conclusion, the president noted that Sierra Leone is ripe for recovery and growth and urged India's participation in the immense possibilities of the recovery. "Africa is taking off; we applaud India's partnership in Africa's re-emergence. Africa is now a champion of reforms, inclusion and growth at continental, sub-continental and global levels; we seek India's continued cooperation in these worthy causes," he emphasized.

Sean Thomas Devine (born 6 September 1972) is a retired professional footballer who played as a striker.

Biography
He began his career with Millwall. Having spent time on loan with Woking in 1992, he spent two years with Bromley and one with Fisher Athletic before moving to Cyprus to play for Anorthosis Famagusta in the summer of 1995. Four months later, he returned to England and signed for Barnet.

Devine was Barnet's top scorer for three seasons and in 1996 he was offered a trial at Premiership club West Ham United. However, the high-profile transfer was cancelled after he was struck down by groin and hernia problems which kept him out of action for eight months. Devine had scored 16 goals before Christmas that season and he returned to fitness only after a rehabilitation spell at Lilleshall during the summer of 1997. Devine continued to score goals for Barnet and managed to break the club's league goalscoring record but an alleged fall-out with Bees Manager John Still brought an end to his future at Underhill.

In April 1999, after a successful loan spell at the club, Devine signed for Wycombe Wanderers for a fee of £200,000. He scored eight goals in 12 league appearances that season that made a major contributing factor to Wycombe's last day escape from relegation in the 1998–99 season. Devine also set a Wycombe club record for most goals in a single season by scoring 23 goals during the 1999–2000 campaign. However, a knee injury caused him to miss the whole of the 2000–01 season and after that he was unable to regain his old goalscoring form at the club. Devine stayed for two more years and went on to become Wycombe's all-time record Football League goalscorer, a record he had now achieved for two clubs. During the 2002–03 season, Devine began to fall out of favour with Wycombe manager Lawrie Sanchez and this led to the player requesting a transfer away from the club. Sanchez felt that Devine was no longer the same player since his injury and accepted a £70,000 offer from Exeter City, with the deal being concluded in January 2003.

In January 2005, Devine captained his Exeter side in an FA Cup third round match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, in which the non-league side secured a famous 0-0 result. After that season, Devine left England and signed for the New Zealand Knights making just seven appearances before club was dissolved in January 2007.

Devine also played as an Irish B international in a team that included Robbie Keane and Damien Duff in February 1998.

Far Cry 7 Could Go In "A Radically Different Direction" – Rumor
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier believes that Far Cry 7 could be radically different from Far Cry 6, opening the door to further speculation.
Posted By Usaid | On 29th, Jun. 2021
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier has recently revealed during his Triple Click Podcast that Far Cry 7 could be heading in a direction you might not expect. According to Schreier's sources on the matter, the Far Cry franchise would be going in "a radically different direction" after the release of Far Cry 6.
Schreier hasn't revealed any more details at this point, which is understandable, as Far Cry 6 is still months away from release. It's still interesting to speculate on Jason Schreier's comments, however, as Far Cry 6 is already doing a bunch of things differently from its predecessors, including third-person cutscenes and a newfound narrative structure.
In a recent Ubisoft investors meet, higher executives within the company revealed that the company will be creating free-to-play versions of its biggest IPs in the near future. Whether Far Cry 7 would be heading this very route is anyone's guess at this point, though something like that would definitely qualify as "radically different."
Meanwhile, Far Cry 6 is due out on October 7 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia.

Packed programme for Aberdeen's True North Festival
My First Gig, aimed at 9-12 year-olds, returns to the festival at The Lemon Tree.
Kevin McRoberts
Music fans will be in their element next month as the award-winning True North festival attracts the cream of contemporary music to some of the best venues across Aberdeen from September 20-23.
Festival organisers Aberdeen Performing Arts have announced a packed programme of Fringe performances, workshops and events.
Headline acts Mogwai, Glasvegas, Traceyanne and Danny, The Magic Numbers and Mull Historical Society have all been announced, as well as a very special tribute evening as Irish vocalist Camille O'Sullivan brings together a line-up of stars to perform the work of David Bowie.
The Lemon Tree will host an opening party on Thursday, September 20, which promises to kick off the festival in style, with a celebration of grassroots Scottish music featuring the talented and eclectic line-up of Zoe Graham, Solareye and Man of Moon.
The hugely popular 'My First Gig', designed for 9-12 year-olds, will be a highlight of the weekend, which also includes a three-day workshop for young musicians, as well as panel discussions on subjects covering issues such as mental health and wellbeing in the music industry and funding for artists.
Free performances from festival artists and local talent will also be taking place across the city centre, including a pop-up stage in the atrium at Marischal Square, under Kelpies artist Andy Scott's spectacularly imposing Leopard sculpture, as well as performances in venues including Rye and Soda and SPIN Bar and Diner.
It is also expected that there will be some further 'secret gigs' announced via social media featuring festival artists in unusual or unexpected locations.
Organisers are delighted that the Belmont Filmhouse will be joining in on the fun for True North weekend, showing films that complement the festival line-up perfectly, including Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (Wednesday, September 19, 7.30pm), a film scored by festival headliners Mogwai, and David Bowie's film The Man Who Fell to Earth (Saturday, September 22, 1.35pm), as a nod to Camille O'Sullivan's 'Lady Stardust' curated tribute evening to the iconic artist.
Ben Torrie, Aberdeen Performing Arts' director of programming and creative projects, said: "We are so excited to be able to release the full programme for this year's True North festival.
"The fringe programme is a hugely important part of what makes True North what it is with free performances across the city from both festival artists and the wealth of amazing local talent this city boasts.
"The festival will also inspire the next generation of music fans and musicians with workshop, panel discussions and the incomparable My First Gig.
"We can't wait for the weekend now and look forward to welcoming music lovers from far and wide to the city."
Fresh from playing at Belladrum Festival recently, Glasgow-based Zoe Graham is steadily building a reputation for herself on the Scottish contemporary music scene.
There is an impressive maturity and attention to detail in Zoe's music that sets this accomplished young songwriter apart from her peers.
Dealing in grim fairytales and unlikely truths, at once home-grown and universal, Solareye is best known as the lyricist and principal songwriter with alternative hip-hop group Stanley Odd.
Having released his debut solo album, 'All These People are Me' in May, Solareye's music tells stories, paints pictures, raps about rapping and pushes some boundaries along the way.
Critically acclaimed Edinburgh duo Man of Moon will also be joining in the opening night party. This duo's textured, monochromatic sound belies their young age, and they have already been lauded as the "new kings of art rock".
The Young Bands Workshop, which takes place over three days, will be tailored towards young musicians with an interest in forming bands and working in the music industry.
Led by accomplished performer and tutor, Graeme Smillie, young participants will learn about writing songs, setting up gigs and performances, and get a general overview of working in the music industry.
The workshop will end with a free sharing of work in The Lemon Tree on Saturday, September 23, at 3pm.
My First Gig takes place on Sunday, September 23, in The Lemon Tree Studio. This hugely popular event returns to True North by popular demand, and offers an opportunity for 9-12 year olds to experience their first ever live gig in a safe and supported, yet independent environment within The Lemon Tree.
The Aberdeen Performing Arts Creative Learning team will be on hand to supervise whilst children enjoy the music from The Harmonica Movement, with face-painting, glitter tattoos, refreshments and much more also on offer.
Parents can take the weight off and relax in the 'adult crèche' at the same venue with newspapers, games, teas, coffees and snacks all available.
On Saturday, there will be a one-hour panel discussion at His Majesty's Theatre's Education Studio at 6pm before Mogwai take to the stage, where industry experts and health professionals will discuss the topic of mental health and wellbeing for artists, musicians and people working in the music industry. This panel will be supported by Help Musicians UK and Choose Life.
Finally, on Sunday, there will be a second panel discussion featuring musicians, industry experts and funders, which will be a vital insight for anyone looking to start out in the music industry, and will reveal where to find out about funding opportunities, writing funding applications and supporting career development.
Tickets for the Launch Party, workshop and My First Gig are now on sale. Panel discussions are free but ticketed, with tickets also now available. These can be bought online at aberdeenperformingarts.com, in person at the box office at HMT or The Lemon Tree, or by phone on (01224) 641122.
Tickets for the film programme are available directly from the Belmont Filmhouse. All other Fringe events are free and unticketed.

Historique

Le bâtiment administratif de la médiathèque Voyelles à Charleville-Mézières est le pavillon de la comtesse de Chaligny. Il est édifié en 1623 pour compléter un monastère édifié en 1622 dans Charleville, ville nouvelle, sur l'actuelle place Jacques-Félix, alors place du saint-Sépulcre.

While the ACA acknowledges and supports the proactive approach taken by the ACCC in an attempt to remedy this serious safety issue caused by the importation into Australia of sub-standard and dangerous cable manufactured in China, the ACA contends that the Recall does not fully achieve its objectives.
The ACA is of the view that the wording of the Recall is complicated, confusing and too restrictive.
The Recall places the onus of action to rectify the dangerous condition of this cable upon the consumer or more simply the home owner. Typically, home owners would not be aware of which type or brand of cable they have installed in their house. Cable is hidden away in wall cavities and roof spaces making it 'out of sight, out of mind'; this in no way diminishes the risk of having this dangerous product installed in a house, dwelling or any other type of building.
The meaning of the Recall wording is such that, in reality, there is practically no situation where the dangerous and defective Infinity or Olsent cable could remain in service.
The Recall notice should be clear and direct that ALL Infinity and Olsent Cable must be removed forthwith.
The initiator for the removal of all cable subject to this Recall must be the installer, as opposed to the consumer, since he is, in reality, the only person who will have sufficient knowledge regarding the location of the dangerous and defective cables.
The ACA established the Approved Cables Initiative (ACI) to address the existence of dangerous, non-compliant and counterfeit cable in the Australian marketplace.
It was the ACI who first alerted the Authorities to the dangerous Infinity and Olsent cable.
The ACI runs an extensive testing program of both Australian and foreign manufactured cables being sold in Australia.
The ACI's mandate is clear: Any and all cable failing to comply with the Australian Standards will be reported to the relevant State and Federal Authorities who have the power to instigate a recall of such products in the interest of community safety.

Architecture school deans pass on participating in annual DesignIntelligence Schools Survey Program
Thanks But No Thanks
By Matt Hickman • September 6, 2022 • Architecture, Education, National, News
Gund Hall, home to the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Sarah M. Whiting, dean of Harvard GSD, is one of 16 deans that have declined to participate in a survey associated with a popular ranking program of design schools. (Peter Alfred Hess/Flickr/CC BY 2.0)
The deans of more than a dozen architecture schools including the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Rice Architecture, and Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning at the University of Michigan have come together to announce that they will not participate in the 2022 edition of the DesignIntelligence Schools Survey Program.
The deans survey, joined by separate surveys of professionals and students, together play a key role in Atlanta metro-based consulting firm DesignIntelligence (DI)'s annual rankings of design schools, including those with architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design programs. "We believe that deep participation is imperative in delivering our annual ratings," the survey website reads, noting that the program has "evolved in pursuit of highlighting excellence in design education and optimization for industry relevance. We continue to evaluate so that this program provides the greatest benefit for all." (In 2017, DI stopped using the word "best" when ranking schools, opting instead for "Most Admired;" there is also a "Most Hired From" category.)
Per an August 15 letter published by schools including Cornell AAP and the MIT School of Architecture + Planning (the deans of these respective schools, Meejin Yoon and Hashim Sarkis, are among the 16 signees) states a shared desire not to participate in the program coming out of the pandemic, explaining that during a series of informal discussions "we learned that schools like ours have more in common than differences, and that our differences—in curriculum, faculty, facilities, and culture—are of benefit to our students and the professions."
The deans further express their reasoning behind their decision not to participate in the survey following its pandemic-prompted pause:
"One area of common concern we identified is the extent to which some ranking systems are out of touch with the goals and ambitions of our faculty and students for the future of design. Reflecting views expressed throughout our communities, we have decided not to participate in the DesignIntelligence survey. However well-intentioned they may be, we believe that the DI rankings have the potential to create a disservice to the public.
After bringing our concerns to the DesignIntelligence leadership in the early days of the pandemic (at which point they paused the survey temporarily, thankfully), we were disappointed to be met with limited change when their publication was restarted as "ratings" instead of "rankings" and deans and department chairs were invited to provide a handful of unverified data points about their programs. Given the state of the world, it's our belief that DesignIntelligence, with an audience of thousands of prospective students—as well as their parents and potential employers—should be helping to improve design's position in the U.S., celebrating the many varied strengths that exist across institutions."
Stating that "design education is not a popularity contest," the co-signing deans go on to summarize their concerns with the survey program, noting that, among other things, they believe that it hurts smaller schools, takes up valuable faculty and staff time, and is "out of step with student and faculty concerns about the future of design." The deans also acknowledge that their respective schools have placed highly in the rankings in the past and have benefitted from the resulting, largely positive attention.
In the 2019 DI rankings, Cornell University, the Rhode Island School of Design, Rice University, and Cooper Union held the top four "Most Admired" spots for architecture schools with undergraduate programs while Harvard University, Columbia University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Yale University were ranked highest for graduate programs in architecture.
You can read the deans' letter in full here view along with the names of all 16 co-signing deans here.
AN has reached out to DI for comment in response to the letter. We will update this article when we hear back.

Phil Steele: No Tressel, No Pryor, No Problem.
You are here: Home / Ohio State Football / Phil Steele: No Tressel, No Pryor, No Problem.
A perennial favorite of die-hard, stat-loving college football fans, Phil Steele's preview magazine is arguably the most respected and certainly the most in-depth on the market. His rankings and predictions are eagerly anticipated each year, and when the latest edition hit the stands this spring, Ohio State once again found itself atop the conference by Steele's estimation. Granted, this time it was in a three-way tie for the Leaders division with Wisconsin and Penn State, but still.
While losing Tressel will hurt, the Buckeyes do have a veteran coaching staff that has spent several seasons together. The loss of Pryor is less of an issue because he already was going to be suspended for the first five games and I thought they would probably have QB controversy on their hands when he came back for the 6th game but now that major distraction can be avoided. They still host Wisconsin and Penn St late in the year after the suspended players return and provided there are no more players suspended or bowl bids being taken away, I still have the Buckeyes going to the first Big Ten title game.
Interesting take on the Pryor situation that I hadn't really considered and could also be applied to the coaching side of things in a smaller way as well. Continuity is important and while losing these two is not going to make us better, not having to slide them back in halfway through a campaign will avoid some awkwardness.
It's been a long time since Wisconsin had a running/passing threat at QB and that will make them even more dangerous. But remember they have to travel to an underrated Michigan St team who beat them last year and also travel to Ohio St later in the year with the Buckeyes looking for revenge from their only loss last year. Even with Wilson I still have Wisconsin tied at the top of the Big Ten Leaders division.
So basically, no change, but it's nice that a respected and generally unbiased analyst like Steele isn't buying completely into the Wilson hype. Personally, I have doubts about Bielema's ability to effectively exploit Wilson's athleticism in his old-school smashmouth offensive scheme. It should be noted that Steele doesn't even seem to believe that his presence will create enough separation between Wisconsin and Penn State to knock the Lions out of the three-way tie.
It doesn't mean much, but it's nice to get a little post-scandal vote of confidence from a solid analyst.

The Convention on Road Signs and Signals, commonly known as the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, is a multilateral treaty designed to increase road safety and aid international road traffic by standardising the signing system for road traffic (road signs, traffic lights and road markings) in use internationally.

This convention was agreed upon by the United Nations Economic and Social Council at its Conference on Road Traffic in Vienna 7 October to 8 November 1968, was concluded in Vienna on 8 November 1968, and entered into force on 6 June 1978. This conference also produced the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which complements this legislation by standardising international traffic laws.

The convention revised and substantially extended the earlier 1949 Geneva Protocol on Road Signs and Signals, itself based in turn on the 1931 Geneva Convention concerning the Unification of Road Signals. Amendments, including new provisions regarding the legibility of signs, priority at roundabouts, and new signs to improve safety in tunnels were adopted in 2003.

Both the Vienna Convention and the Geneva Protocol were formed according to consensus on road traffic signs that evolved primarily in 20th century continental Western Europe. In order to make it as universal as possible, the convention allows some variations, for example danger warning signs can be triangular or square diamond in shape and road markings can be white or yellow. Though most UN members have not ratified the full treaty, the signs and legal principles enshrined in it form the basis of traffic law in a majority of places.

An alternative convention called the SADC-RTSM, provided by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), is used by ten countries in southern Africa. Many of the rules and principles of the SADC-RTSM are similar to those of the Vienna Convention.

In the United States, signs are based on the US Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Signs in the MUTCD are often more text-oriented, though some signs do use pictograms as well. Canada and Australia have road signs based substantially on the MUTCD. In South America, Ireland, several Asian countries (Cambodia, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia) and New Zealand, road signage is influenced by both the Vienna Convention and MUTCD. In Central America, road signs are heavily influenced by MUTCD and based on the , a Central American Integration System (SICA) equivalent to the US MUTCD.

Rules

Road signs
In article 2 the convention classes all road signs into a number of categories (A – H):
 A: Danger warning signs
 B: Priority signs
 C: Prohibitory or restrictive signs
 D: Mandatory signs
 E: Special regulation signs
 F: Information, facilities, or service signs
 G: Direction, position, or indication sign
 H: Additional panels

The convention then lays out precise colours, sizes, and shapes for each of these classes of sign:

† May be written in English or the national language

It also specifies the symbols and pictograms which may be used, and the orientations in which they may be used. When more than one is available, the same one must be used nationally. All signs, except for those that do not apply at night, must be reflective enough to be seen in darkness with headlights from a distance.

Road markings
The convention also specifies road markings. All such markings must be less than  high, with cat's eye reflectors no more than  above the road surface. The road markings shall be white or yellow.

The length and width of markings varies according to purpose, although no exact figures for size are stated; roads in built up areas should use a broken line for lane division, while continuous lines must only be used in special cases, such as reduced visibility or narrowed carriageways.

All words painted on the road surface should be either of place names, or of words recognisable in most languages, such as "Stop" or "Taxi".

Traffic lights
The Convention specifies the colours for traffic lights and their meanings, and places and purposes lights may be used for, like so:

Red flashing lights may only be used at the locations specified above; any other use of the lights is in breach of the convention. Red lights must be placed on top when lights are stacked vertically, or on the side closest to oncoming traffic if stacked horizontally.

Contracting parties
The convention has 71 state parties and 35 signatories (including acceding members) as of October 2022: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Central African Republic, Chile, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guyana, Holy See, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Myanmar, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Paraguay, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Vietnam.

The only countries in Europe that are not parties to the convention are Ireland, Iceland and Malta. Andorra is a signatory but have yet to ratify the convention.

The only countries in Asia that are not parties to the convention are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Republic of China (Taiwan), Israel, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, North Korea, Oman, Palestine, Syria and Yemen. Cambodia, Laos, and South Korea are all signatories, but have yet to ratify the convention.

Other countries have not signed the convention; however, some have voluntarily adopted some Vienna convention signs.

Fantasy Daily: Gerrit Cole, Tony Cingrani, Xander Bogaerts
by J.D. Salyer
Gerrit Cole bounced back nicely last night for fantasy owners. (Greg Fiume/Getty Images)
Taking a look around the league, here's a recap of last night's action and suggestions for your fantasy baseball team.
Mr. Clutch (pitcher) – The Pirates seem to be on a mission to not collapse in the second half, and it all starts with their pitching rotation, which is why they brought up top prospect Gerrit Cole this season. All Cole did was go out last night and have his best pitching performance of the season against the Nationals. He gave up a homer in the third, but went on to retire 15 of the last 16 batters he faced, finishing with seven strong innings and picking up the win. Gerrit Cole is going to have his ups and downs throughout the season, but he has shown flashes of a very talented pitcher. Keeper leagues should be all over this guy. He could be one of the pieces that gets Pittsburgh over the hump and into the playoffs.
Mr. Clutch (hitter) – Adrian Gonzalez's home run the eighth inning pushed the Dodgers past the Blue Jays in what turned out to be a slugfest. Gonzalez finished the game going 2-for-4 with three runs and three RBIs. Gonzalez continues to underwhelm fantasy owners and has become a fringe top-10 first baseman. Considering he was being drafted in the first round just a couple of years ago, his production has definitely slowed as he as aged. Expect more of the same going forward. A .300 hitter with 25 home run power and a good source of RBIs.
Surprise, surprise! – Zack Cozart had a monster night against the Giants, going 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. Unless you are in a deep NL-only league, Cozart is not going to be helping your team any time soon. The .243/.271/.380 slash line is very underwhelming. Look for other options if you play in 12-team or smaller mixed leagues.
Here comes the heat – Tony Cingrani continues to be productive despite the Reds best efforts to yo-yo him back and forth from the minors and the majors. Last night, he was effective against the Giants, going 6.2 innings and allowing two runs off five hits while walking three and striking out two. Cingrani should be sent back down until his next scheduled start against the Dodgers. While you don't love the matchup, Cingrani, for me, is a must-start until proven other wise.
Left out in the breeze – It was the battle of the blown saves last night between Ernesto Frieri and Glen Perkins. Perkins started things off by giving up an earned run, effectively blowing the save, but making it through the inning. Frieri was the true winner here, as he just got flat-out rocked. Frieri gave up five runs off of four hits and a walk. This was easily Frieri's worst start of the season. He had not allowed a home run since May and may have been due for a bad outing. Both relief pitchers are in fairly safe closer roles.
Who's trending? – It's time to look at Xander Bogaerts. The hype train is picking up major steam, and the Manny Machado comps are undeniable. With the Red Sox in contention and in desperate need at 3B, Bogaerts making his big-league debut seems eminent. If you have room to stash Bogaerts, I suggest you make the move sooner rather than later. This kid has major upside and could be the difference maker coming down the stretch for a contending team. Here is what ESPN's Keith Law had to say about Bogaerts at the beginning of this season:
A year ago, Bogaerts looked like a high-ceiling bat who'd have to find a new position, most likely third base, but a year of full-season ball at shortstop with continued work on maintaining his conditioning has his odds of remaining in the middle of the field up over even money. And a shortstop who can hit like this is a pretty special commodity.
Bogaerts has a very easy, picturesque right-handed swing, with great hand acceleration that leads to surprisingly hard contact — the ball comes off his bat much better than you'd expect, given his size. He gets his front leg down a little late, which could lead to timing issues but hasn't so far.
Bench me, please? – There was a lot of chirping about Eric Hosmer figuring things out and when he started to pull the ball and hit home runs, you could see the potential. But he has cooled off a bit. The batting average is there, but the power has disappeared once again. I would not drop him, but he would definitely be riding the pine for me. We forget that not every prospect is Mike Trout and that some guys have a learning curve. This is Hosmer learning the game, and his ebbs and flows are something we as fantasy owners are going to have to deal with. Stay patient.
The Streamer – How can you pass on A.J. Griffin going against the Houston Astros? Griffin seems like a lock to have a big-time start, which is always a streamers delight.
Links of the day – Somebody asked for links?
Some guys got called up that might be helpful on your fantasy team. Check them out here.
