Q: How can I fix broken shift-JIS filenames? I've got some files with shift-jis filenames in ANSI.
e.g.
home_03@'¢ƒgƒ‰ƒ"ƒNŠJ'¢'½Aƒtƒ@ƒCƒ‹—L'è

when they should be in shift-jis like
home_03@青いトランク開いた、ファイル有り

This is because the archive extractor I'm using doesn't support shift-jis. That can't really be helped. But is there a way to fix the filenames of the files I've extracted?
edit:
another example
Ší‹ï'ä@ƒXƒpƒi

should be
器具台@スパナ

A: Since you're using Windows, PowerShell is probably the easiest method.
Now, PowerShell internally uses UTF-16 for its strings, so a conversion would involve four steps:

*

*Read the incorrect filename from the filesystem into PS (represented internally as a UTF-16 string)

*Tell PS to convert the string into a raw byte array as if the string were <incorrect encoding>. We can't use the PS string directly (as it's UTF-16).

*Tell PS to convert the byte array back to a string interpreting it as <correct encoding>. This will give use a UTF-16 string of the raw bytes interpreted as Shift-JIS.

*Rename the file

Let's start by defining the encodings. In your case, I'm guessing your source is Windows-1252 (default non-Unicode codepage for Western/English Windows).
$srcEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Windows-1252")
$destEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Shift-JIS")

You could also use [System.Text.Encoding]::Default to get the current system codepage but I prefer to be explicit.
Then we apply the conversion steps:
$newName = $destEnc.GetString($srcEnc.GetBytes($oldName))

In your example, home_03@'¢ƒgƒ‰ƒ"ƒNŠJ'¢'½Aƒtƒ@ƒCƒ‹—L'è becomes home_03@ツいトランク開いたAファイル有り. While this is different from your example result (see notes at bottom), it matches what I get from http://string-functions.com/encodedecode.aspx's Windows-1252 => Shift-JIS. If this is incorrect, you may have to play around until you find the correct source and destination encodings.
Putting it together with a standard loop:
$srcEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Windows-1252")
$destEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Shift-JIS")
Get-ChildItem | %{Rename-Item -LiteralPath "$_" "$($destEnc.GetString($srcEnc.GetBytes($_.Name)))"}

Or if you prefer to recurse into subdirectories:
$srcEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Windows-1252")
$destEnc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("Shift-JIS")
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | %{Rename-Item -LiteralPath "$_" "$($destEnc.GetString($srcEnc.GetBytes($_.Name)))"}

Add -File to Get-ChildItem if you want to avoid renaming directories.

Looks like your example included two characters that were invalid in Windows-1252 and were likely dropped when you posted the question (based on reversing the process using your example output). There's a 144 (0x90) between the first @ and Â, and a 129 (0x81) between the ½ and A. For the convenience of anyone else looking to test, here's a base64-encoded version of the raw bytes: aG9tZV8wM0CQwoKig2eDiYOTg06KSoKigr2BQYN0g0CDQ4OLl0yC6A==.

Also note that this will not work when there are characters Windows considers invalid in either your source or destination filenames. Especially in the source filename, as your extraction tool probably would have irrecoverably mangled the name on extraction (by dropping the bytes corresponding to the invalid characters like ? or \ in the wrong encoding). The only thing you can do in those cases is use an alternative extraction tool that avoids this problem entirely.


The DevLab@Duke is an applied learning environment that focuses on connecting social scientists at Duke who work in international development with the community of development practitioners to create rigorous programming, collect monitoring and evaluation data, and conduct impact evaluations of development projects. The lab connects faculty and graduate students from several departments and schools at Duke who have extensive experience in both international development and program evaluation, including a broad range of donor activities in the areas of education, health, governance, cross-sectoral programming, environment, labor markets and economic growth.
To give timely input to development practitioners—both donors and implementers—at all stages of project conceptualization, design, implementation and evaluation.
To bring together and build the Duke community of faculty who are working on applied development, as well as community members outside of international development with expertise pertinent to the tools of rigorous impact evaluation (e.g. engineers, doctors, computer scientists, psychologists).
To provide hands-on training opportunities for graduate students and post-docs embarking on careers in international development.
In addressing these goals, we bring together scholars and students attuned to the research frontier and with advanced capabilities in experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluation designs, survey design and other data collection tools, and data analytics, including impact evaluation econometrics, web scraping and geospatial analysis. As established social scientists, we are able to identify opportunities for knowledge generation that will benefit the Duke community of scholars and the scientific community more broadly. As academics trained in applied statistics, we are able to offer advice on best practices for cutting-edge program evaluation to practitioners. Our setting also gives us access to a range of experts on the frontier of technology relevant to program evaluation.

The Next Step: Detroit Lions offseason needs on offense
Written by : Alex Jag
Published on : February 15, 2017
In the previous installment of The Next Step we talked about the Detroit Lions and how desperately they need to improve their defense if they want to get to the next level. Defense wins championships and the lack of one can get you bounced from the first round of the playoffs in embarrassing fashion, as was the case when the Lions faced the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round. While improving the defense is paramount to establishing a consistently good team, all parts of the team should be examined every offseason and that brings us to the offense.
The Lions offense has carried the team for years now and Matthew Stafford, before his late season finger injury, seemed to prove that he has finally put all the pieces together. He carried the team in 2016 and was the only consistent bright spot. And even that went to hell after the finger injury. It's time for the team to take some pressure off of Stafford and build a complete offense. Here's what they should do if they want to accomplish that goal.
The starting offensive line that the Detroit Lion rolled out last season is full of young talent. Rookie first round pick Taylor Decker proved that he is the left tackle of the future and Travis Swanson surprised everyone by becoming one of the better centers in the league, after an extremely rocky first two years in the NFL. Former first round left guard Laken Tomlinson on the other hand proved that he is quickly headed for bust status, but never fear! Rookie Graham Glasgow took over and did a good job. He also showed some versatility by moving to center when Swanson went down with a concussion that would cause him to miss the final five games of the year. All these players will most likely be on the Lions roster in 2017 (unless Tomlinson gets him self cut from the team, which is possible) so the left side of the line is set. But the right side could be a little tricky.
The Lions must re-sign Riley Reiff.
At right guard is former third round pick Larry Warford, who has been very good at times but hasn't lived up to a stellar rookie season four years ago. At right tackle is former first rounder Riley Reiff who moved to the right side after the team drafted Taylor Decker. Both are above average-to-good players but both will be unrestricted free agents this offseason. It will be very hard to keep both so that means a choice must be made. While Larry Warford is probably higher rated at his position compared to other guards around the league than Reiff would be against his peers, good tackles are just too hard to come by. If the price is right, the team should re-sign Reiff, let Warford walk, and move Laken Tomlinson back to his more natural position at right guard. They should also draft some developmental players in the mid/late rounds of the draft, but by no means should they be giving big money to any free agents. If Reiff decides he wants left tackle money then you let him walk and hope Corey Robinson can step up and fill in.
The team is also in desperate need of a blocking tight end. Eric Ebron is great for catching passes (when he doesn't drop the ball) and he gives the offense an explosiveness that it has been missing but having him block has not worked out. The Lions haven't had a tight end who can block since Brandon Pettigrew so expect them to draft someone to fill this role. If they don't address this need they will surely regret it.
Deep Threat
Let's face it, with Calvin Johnson gone from the offense the Detroit Lions had no true deep threat. Sure, there were some plays when Golden Tate, Marvin Jones, or even TJ Jones would get behind the defense. But they were few and far between throughout the 2016 season. For the most part, the offense was predicated on getting their shifty receivers the ball near the line of scrimmage and letting them breaks plays after the catch. There were long stretches when receivers could not get separation from opposing defensive backs. This has to change and the way to do that is by finding a speedy guy who can take the top off of the defense and open up the field underneath.
In your dreams, Lions fans.
I think the answer here, like with the offensive line, should come from the draft. With as much work as the defense needs, spending big in free agency seems like the wrong move. I'm in favor of re-signing Anquan Boldin (should he choose not to retire) but he isn't a giant threat to beat anyone deep. DeSean Jackson would be an amazing addition but with all the holes on defense, it seems unlikely that Bob Quinn will pay what it takes to get him on the team. The Lions should spend a mid round pick to find the fastest receiver available who can catch the ball well.
Power Runner
The Lions say that Ameer Abdullah is still slated to be the top dog in the backfield in 2017. And there's no reason he shouldn't be. He may be considered in an injury concern by some after missing most of last season and part of his rookie season with various injuries but that doesn't seem fair. In the 18 games he has appeared in he has been absolutely electric and the offense is a totally different machine with him on the field. He should be the top back on the depth chart, but that doesn't mean the team shouldn't have other options. Fans love Zach Zenner but the Lions' offense needs a real powerback.
The smartest thing to do would be to draft someone in a late round and hope that they can show enough to become the third option behind Abdullah and pass-catching extraordinaire Theo Riddick. Dwayne Washington, a sixth round pick last year, could blossom into the role but he had a very hard time seeing his holes last year and the team should have other options going into training camp. Should the team look to free agency Eddie Lacy could be an option. If he comes cheap it would be hilarious to see him run over some Green Bay Packers next season. Either way the team needs someone who can punish the defense between the tackles. Something they do not have right now.
Eddie Lacy as a Lion?
That does it for the roster needs on offense but I have one more thing to add and it many Lions fans might think that I'm crazy. It's the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Lions need someone new calling plays for the offense. After a great start to his career as offensive coordinator of the Lions, Jim Bob Cooter seems to have regressed. The play calling was awful at times last year and he has shown an inability to adjust as games wear on. I have no doubt that he will start the season calling plays in Detroit and hopefully he can continue to learn in second full offseason as offensive coordinator but keep an eye on how he performs in the early part of next season. If the offense leaves something to be desired he could be relieved of his duties mid season.
What do you think the Detroit Lions need to do on offense? Leave your thoughts and ideas in the comments section below.

When Sunil Gavaskar retired at the age of 38, people asked the reason for his retirement. He said that it was better to call it quits at an age when people are asking why he was retiring, rather than why not.
AB de Villiers' decision to retire from all international cricket comes as a shock, as he was still scoring runs prolifically and his fielding was at its best. These days, a lot of cricketers quit international cricket to spend more time with their family and ply their trade in T20 franchise cricket.
AB was more than just a prolific run scorer. He had a dazzling array of shots in his repertoire and his strokes singed all most all blades of grass on the ground. He was known as a 360 - degree player who had shots all around the dial. AB was also an entertainer par excellence and extremely popular, even among rival fans.
Here are some statistical tidbits from his career across all 3 international formats.
57.41 - AB was an extremely good wicketkeeper before he gave it up due to back problems and his huge workload. He scored 2,067 runs in 24 Tests at an average of 57.41 which is the highest among the 30 wicketkeepers who have scored a minimum of 2,000 runs in Tests.
78 - AB played 78 innings before scoring his first duck in Tests. This period was from 17th December 2004 till 26th Nov 2008. This is still a world record.
98 - AB played 98 consecutive Tests since debut for South Africa before missing one due to the birth of his child. This was a world record until it was broken by Brendon McCullum, who played 101 consecutive Tests.
100 and 10 dismissals as keeper - AB is the only player in Test history to score a century and effect 10 plus dismissals in the same Test. He did it against Pakistan at Johannesburg in February 2013.
62.41 - There have been 19 batsmen who have scored a minimum of 2,500 runs batting at the number 5 position in Tests. AB's average of 62.41 is the highest in this position.
78 - AB has played the most T20Is for South Africa.
1,672 - He has scored the 2nd highest number of runs for South Africa in T20Is.
44 - He has taken the most catches as a fielder for South Africa in T20Is.
6,649 - He has scored the most runs by a South African in Twenty20 cricket.
251 - He has played the 3rd most matches by a South African in Twenty20 cricket after Albie Morkel and David Miller.
9,577/ 9,427 – AB has scored 9,577 runs in ODIs out of which 9,427 runs are for South Africa. This is the 2nd highest by a South African in ODIs after Jacques Kallis, who has scored 11,550 runs for South Africa.
25 – AB's 25 centuries in ODIs is the 2nd most by a South African after Hashim Amla, who has scored 26.
101.09 - There have been 19 batsmen who have scored a minimum of 9,000 ODI runs. AB has the highest strike rate among them with 101.09.
16/31 - During the course of his innings of 149 in 44 balls against West Indies at Johannesburg in 2015, AB scored the fastest fifty in ODIs: off just 16 balls. In the same innings, he scored the fastest century: in just 31 balls.
150/64 - AB also holds the record for the fastest 150, off 64 balls, when he scored an unbeaten 162 off 66 balls against West Indies at Sydney in the World Cup in February 2015.
204 - AB has struck 204 sixes in ODIs out of which 200 were hit while representing South Africa, which is a national record. The other 4 sixes have been while representing Africa XI.
1,000 - AB has scored more than 1,000 runs in a calendar year for South Africa 3 times in ODIs. This is also a national record. He achieved this feat in 2007, 2013 and 2015.
338.63 - During his innings of 149 off 44 balls, AB scored his runs at a strike rate of 338.63, the highest strike rate for any innings above 50 runs in ODIs.
16 - AB also holds the record for the most sixes in an innings in ODIs. He struck 16 sixes during his 149 off 44 balls against the West Indies at Johannesburg in January 2015. He jointly holds the record with Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle.
103 - AB has led South Africa 103 times in ODIs, the 3rd most by a South African. In all, only 17 players have led their country in 100 ODIs or more.
415 - AB has played 415 matches across formats in international cricket, which is the 3rd most for a South African after Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher.
243 - AB has taken 243 catches in international cricket, the 3rd most by a South African after Kallis and Graeme Smith.
5 - AB is one of just 5 players who have led South Africa in all 3 formats. The other 4 players are Graeme Smith, Shaun Pollock, Hashim Amla and Faf Du Plessis.

The year is fast disappearing on me – on all of us I suppose, although being somewhat of a solipsist I'll confess I'm not entirely convinced there is an 'us' – so I'd best get my skates on if I want to cobble together any kind of coda to my 2017 science fiction book-collecting odyssey. And it will have to be a coda rather than a full-blown conclusion; unfortunately – or maybe fortunately, if anyone besides myself is unfortunate enough to be reading this, which, as I say, I have my doubts about – pressures of work (in a good way; I might return to that in the new year) prevent me from embarking on the kind of exhaustive account that has characterised previous instalments in my chronicles of my SF-collecting odyssey. Instead, on this last leg, rather than detailing every bookshop I've visited, I'll simply summarise some of the better scores of recent months, in particular two huge hauls – plus a more modest one – of paperbacks from London.
The two huge hauls came from two locales practically next door to each other: Skoob Books in the Brunswick Centre and the most recent Paperback & Pulp Book Fair, which took place at the Royal National Hotel on 29 October. The former I happened to stop in at during an excursion to London to discover they'd just got in a big SF collection; among other things I secured paperback firsts of Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix (a book that was very high up on my list of wants), John Varley's Wizard, Ian Watson's debut novel The Embedding, Gregory Benford's Against Infinity, plus various Haldemans (notably two parts of the Worlds trilogy, the third part of which I already had in hardback), a first printing of James Herbert's The Rats (not strictly SF, but I couldn't resist it; once upon a time I had a lot of time for Herbert) and a fair number of Larry Nivens and Jerry Pournelles.
I secured more Nivens and Pournelles at the Paperback & Pulp Book Fair – including a signed Ballantine first of The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton, a steal at two quid – and at the location of the more modest haul, Any Amount of Books on Charing Cross Road, where I also nabbed paperback firsts of Gordon R. Dickson's Dorsai trilogy and a bunch of Stephen Baxters, which make a nice set with a signed paperback first of Baxter's debut novel, Raft, I'd previously bought online. As for the Paperback & Pulp Fair itself, that offered up among other things first paperback editions of Bob Shaw's Orbitsville, Algis Budrys' Rogue Moon and Gordon R. Dickson's Necromancer, all of which I was keen to try, plus Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, Kim Stanley Robinson's Icehenge, Anne McCaffrey's Restoree, a couple of Ursula Le Guins, and more besides.
And all of that's without getting into the SF I've picked up in Lewes and Brighton and one or two other places over the past few months – too many books to detail here, although I will just mention three by James Tiptree, Jr., alias Alice Sheldon, an author I was guided towards by Book Glutton and subsequently came across paperback first editions of her two novels in Lewes and Leigh-on-Sea and was given a collection of her short stories. I've only read a couple of the stories so far, but on the basis of those I'll certainly be reading more.
Of course we are here, just busy adding books we might like to our Wish Lists, and silently cheering you on as you seek and find real treasures within the book covers.
Of course I'm here. Not exciting, but here. Busy reading. I have followed your blog for some time from Canada. Merry Christmas!
Rest assured you are not alone. Merry Christmas! I enjoy reading your blog. Where on earth do you keep all the books though?
Tiptree/Sheldon is well worth collecting. Her novels are less impressive than her short stories, but both are fascinating, all the same. She got some criticism for writing them in the present tense (not her usual thing), and now every other new novel (the kind critics take seriously) is written that way. Which is not to say that's necessarily a good thing.
You get her novels better when you've read a lot of her short stories. Brightness Falls From the Air, to some extent, restates ideas from her earlier work, and is set in the same fictional universe as many of them.
You never quite get over your first taste of Star's Tears.

seestyle
#1 07.12.2022 10:36
The fact that pitcher Hans Crouse made his major league debut in 2021, for the Philadelphia Phillies no le s, was quite a surprise. I have covered Crouse extensively during my time with , and he was someone I have always rated highly.When the trade was first announced between the Texas Rangers and the Phillies that saw Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy leave Texas and Spencer Howard was sent in return, I thought it was a fair deal. As soon as it was reported Kendall Graveman Jersey that Crouse was also on the move to Philadelphia, I knew the Phillies had won out on the trade.Crouse was drafted by the Rangers in the second round of the 2017 MLB draft. He featured a power fast ball and an effective changeup to begin his profe sional career. However, Crouse dealt with elbow injuries that did not require Tommy John surgery and it required him to make some changes.Upon his return, his Nico Hoerner Jersey fastball velocity had diminished slightly, but he had become more of a "pitcher" rather than a "thrower" because of it. His funky delivery and competitive and fiery spirit have allowed him to find succe s in the minors.Scroll to ContinueHe was called upon to start a game in late September for the Phillies when they were in dire need of innings. Crouse's debut saw him throw Ben Zobrist Jersey 3.0 IP with one earned run. It came off of a home run on the first pitch of Crouse's major league career. An ominous start indeed.He got another start in October in which he went 4.0 IP and gave up three earned runs. The California native was clearly not ready for the stage, but he is close. While he maintains that he believes he is a starting pitcher, David Bote Jersey many believe he could be better suited for a role in the bullpen based on his stuff.For Philadelphia to extract the most from the trade, they too hope he can provide help for the rotation. If Crouse can refine his command and reduce the number of long balls and walks he i sues, he could be a mid-rotation pitcher. His stuff can be baffling at times and he needs to take advantage of it without defeating himself.His attitude and mindset also lineup well with that of a starting pitcher's mentality. We should see more of Crouse in 2022, Chicago Cubs Jersey perhaps in the bullpen, but he will have to make his case at the highest level.More From SI's :

Q: queue.get(block=True) while start_background_task (flask-socketio) is running and doing queue.put() I have an issue related to queue using a background task that never ends (continuously run to grab real-time data.
What I want to achieve:

*

*Starting server via flask-socketio (eventlet),

*monkey_patch(),

*Using start_background_task, run a function from another file that grabs data in real time,

*While this background task is running (indefinitely), storing incoming data in a queue via queue.put(),

*Always while this task is running, from the main program watching for new data in the queue and processing them, meaning here socketio.emit().

What works: my program works well if, in the background task file, the while loop ends (while count < 100: for instance). In this case, I can access the queue from the main file and emit data.
What doesn't work: if this while loop is now while True:, the program blocks somewhere, I can't access the queue from the main program as it seems that it waits until the background task returns or stops.
So I guess I'm missing something here... so if you guys can help me with that, or give me some clues, that would be awesome.
Here some relevant parts of the code:
main.py
from threading import Thread
from threading import Lock
from queue import Queue

from get_raw_program import get_raw_data

from flask import Flask, send_from_directory, Response, jsonify, request, abort
from flask_socketio import SocketIO
import eventlet
eventlet.patcher.monkey_patch(select=True, socket=True)

app = Flask(__name__, static_folder=static_folder, static_url_path='')
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'secret_key'

socketio = SocketIO(app, binary=True, async_mode="eventlet", logger=True, engineio_logger=True)
thread = None
thread_lock = Lock()
data_queue = Queue()

[...]

@socketio.on('WebSocket_On')
def grab_raw_data(test):
    global thread

    with thread_lock:
        if thread is None:
            socketio.emit('raw_data', {'msg': 'Thread is None:'})
            socketio.emit('raw_data', {'msg': 'Starting Thread... '})
            thread = socketio.start_background_task(target=get_raw_data(data_queue, test['mode']))

        while True:
            if not data_queue.empty():
                data = data_queue.get(block=True, timeout=0.05)
                socketio.emit('raw_data', {'msg': data})
                socketio.sleep(0.0001)

get_raw_program.py (which works, can access queue from main.py)
def get_raw_data(data_queue, test):
    count = 0
    while count < 100:
        data.put(b'\xe5\xce\x04\x00\xfe\xd2\x04\x00')
        time.sleep(0.001)
        count += 1

get_raw_program.py (which DOESN'T work, can't access queue from main.py)
def get_raw_data(data_queue, test):
    count = 0
    while True:
        data.put(b'\xe5\xce\x04\x00\xfe\xd2\x04\x00')
        time.sleep(0.001)
        count += 1

A: I tried with regular Thread instead of start_background_task, and it works well. Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated :-)

Elementary nomenclature of the essential principles of marijuana seeds and cannabis genetics
Cannabis Genetics. When buying cannabis seeds, the novel grower may feel insecure because of the nomenclature that often accompanies the names of different varieties. It is important to know some concepts for a correct choice of the plant we want to grow. As we will see, there is a big difference between acquiring a second generation subsidiary (F2) or an IBL, although in both cases they are seeds of the same variety.
Pure cannabis genetics
Pure cannabis genetics are called landraces or purebreeds. These pure genetics are the cornerstone of modern genetics. In reality it is increasingly difficult to find pure original genetics since the race of seed banks to obtain new hybrids during the last decades has made these landraces have disappeared in many of their places of origin; such as in Morocco.
Fortunately there are landraces spread all over the world, especially in countries far from mass tourism where breeders have not yet arrived. All landraces belong to one of the 3 cannabis families: Cannabis Sativa, Indica or Ruderalis.
Each variety shows its genes (genotype) adopting certain growth and flowering patterns (phenotypes). The pure varieties that still retain their most original genotype have a great homogeneity and in similar cultivation conditions, all the seeds will give very similar plants to each other (phenotypes) .When we acquire pure varieties and grow the seeds in the same environment, we will obtain homogeneous plants with very similar growth and flowering patterns and very similar organoleptic and psychoactive qualities among them.
IBL or Stabilized cannabis hybrids
The acronym IBL comes from the English inbred line, which means that plants with a virtually identical genotype (inbreeding) have been crossed. The opposite of inbreeding is outbreeding, which refers to the introduction of new genes in the variety. It is a method used by geneticists to fix the best features of a particular variety without using any other variety, thus stabilizing the line with which one works, be it a hybrid or a landrace.
In cannabis genetics, a variety is considered to be IBL when it is only crossed with itself, highly stabilized and the vast majority of individuals show similar traits.
There is a lot of work behind an IBL of this type, because for its development it was necessary to use a large number of pure copies for the selection of parents and achieve the best results. The breeder faces the inbreeding depression that most species suffer when they cross parental with very similar genetic information. What we have here are varieties with a relatively closed genetic spectrum, which do not show large differences in their traits.
When two pure landraces or IBL plants are crossed, with other genotypes with different characteristics, what is called the F1 hybrid is obtained, that is, the first filial generation of the cross between a specific phenotype (Parental # 1) of genotype A with another phenotype Genotype B (Parental # 2). The normal thing in this type of crosses is to obtain a relatively uniform offspring, provided that the varieties used as parental are stable. If the crossing is made from pure races or IBL, the offspring (F1 hybrid) will have the so-called hybrid vigor or heterosis (quite the opposite of inbreeding and by which better specimens are normally obtained). In short, the first subsidiary generation of any crossing is called F1, and this first generation will be called F1 hybrid when the parents are pure races or IBL.
When we cross individuals of the F1 generation with each other (whether they are pure, hybrid or polyhybrid varieties) we obtain the second filial generation or F2, and so on. It is normal for the second generation F2 subsidiary to produce a more heterogeneous offspring than the first. It is normal to obtain 25% of plants similar to the mother, 25% similar to the father and 50% that provide a more or less balanced mixture of both parents, so stabilization work must continue generation after generation (F3, F4, F5 …) until you find the one that gives a stable, homogeneous offspring with the qualities you are looking for.
At present, most of the seeds available are polyhybrid, that is, crosses between different hybrids. The offspring of this type of crossings is often quite heterogeneous, producing specimens with notable differences between them. The genetic spectrum of these plants is very varied, so you cannot expect them to be as homogenous as that of a classic F1 hybrid. It is easy to understand the difficulty and complexity involved in stabilizing such a cross, since the mixture of the different genetic traits from the different varieties used to form the cross genotype makes the selection and stabilization of those traits e want to keep a very complicated task. The vast majority of hybrids in the market are in fact polyhybrids, plants created from two hybrids, and too many times homogeneity and stability is a pending subject.
Backcross (BX)
The backcross or backcross is a technique used by breeders to set certain characteristics of one of the parents used to make the crossing. For this, a copy of the offspring of the crossing is chosen (it can come from any generation, F1, F2, etc.) and it is crossed with the original parental of which it is desired to obtain the characteristics, also called recurrent parental. In this way, specific characteristics of the original parental are established by crossing with their own offspring. If we want to achieve an offspring even more similar to the parental we have chosen, we can cross again the BX1 generation with that parental (which will result in the BX2 or squaring), and even repeat the operation for the third time (BX3 or cubing) or times needed (BX4, BX5, etc).
This technique is frequently used to replicate clones (of which there are no males) in the form of seeds. To do this, we choose a donor parent (male) that allows the desired characteristics of the female clone to be expressed in their offspring, and repeating the backcrosses as many times as necessary to achieve the desired objective, which is that a offspring provide us with the largest possible number of the desirable characteristics of the original mother to whom one wishes to replicate.
S1 feminized
S1 is the acronym with which we call the first generation of a branch of a female plant by itself. This is achieved by various techniques and the result – if done correctly, they are seeds very similar to the female that you want to replicate, besides being always female. Thus, the sex of a clone of this female (or a branch thereof) is reversed and the pollen produced is used to pollinate it.
As always in genetics, the more stable the replicated female is, the more stable the results will also be. This technique can be used for the same purpose as conventional backcrossing with female and male plants, selecting and setting characteristics but starting from a single parent in the first step, that is, to produce the first generation. Thus, we can find seeds S2, S3, etc, or backcrosses made from generation S1, S2, etc., again with the original female plant.

I occasionally stumble across model ship sequences in the most unlikely and unexpected films. This was one of them, notable only for being the first ever feature film that Peter Sellers appeared in.
There is a brief comical sequence of a rocket accidentally launched from a ship which then falls straight back down through the funnel and sinks it. While the model itself looks quite well made, the studio lighting and the lack of fine waves on the water surface let the shots down in the realism department.

Metanorn writes:"Straight into the episode, we're introduced to our main character oh ma shoe! Houtarou, a very low-key dude who doesn't believe in doing anything unnecessary. The only person he seems to be willing to spend his precious energy to talk to is his childhood friend, Satoshi, the ever outgoing one who makes up for all his dullness. Houtarou ends up joining the Classics club due to a threat request from his sister, thinking that he would be able to use the isolated club room as his own private space."

Newcastle United: Liam Kennedy discusses the purchase of land on Leazes Terrace
Date: 2nd December 2020 at 12:15pm
Journalist Liam Kennedy has been speaking on the latest edition of NUFC Matters with Steve Wraith about all things relating to Newcastle United.
Starting with an easy one, what number does Wilson wear for Newcastle?
One of the topics that he spent a bit of time on was the news that a Middle Eastern fund had bought student accommodation on Leazes Terrace, right next to St. James' Park.
This had got some Newcastle fans speculating that it was linked to the proposed takeover of the Toon by PCP Capital Partners, PIF (Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund) and the Reuben brothers which was withdrawn in July.
Kennedy provided his view on it when asked if this purchase had anything to do with the takeover.
He said: "There's been lots of Twitter talk, it's definitely got people interested, but these people are private, and we don't know who they are.
"Could it be PIF? I would suggest if it [were] PIF, [and] I am not necessarily sure [that] it is, but imagine it [were], then you would think the deal was virtually done.
"I don't believe that to be the case.
"So I think we will just have to wait and see how this one pans out."
Do you think that this purchase of land means anything?
Yes, it is all connected
No, it probably means nothing
TIF Thoughts on this land purchase and Kennedy's comments on it…
It is certainly intriguing that this land has been bought while there is an ongoing legal battle over the proposed takeover and also that the group have chosen to remain unnamed.
However, the Middle East is a big location that contains 17 different countries, so it could have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia or the takeover, and it could merely be a business deal.
We could find out more about this purchase as the legal case progresses, or it could be totally unrelated, so we think it will be intriguing to see how this all unfolds.

There are many points in life where we have to do tough things. We try to make new friends, we try to recover from an illness, we try to recover our children, we try to get over something hurtful that someone said to us. I have found that if I keep trying to do those things, it never happens, or only partially so. But when I change my attitude to, "I am doing this well, it is for me, and it is happening now", truly amazing things happen, and that is the sweet spot.


You can now connect all your iOrbix accounts, so you can easily switch between all of them.
This makes it easier for our Fictional profiles, since users usually have several accounts, one for each character they play. All these days, every time the user wanted to switch an account, they had to logout and type the email and password of the other account.
We understood that is very annoying, especially on Mobiles, so we introduced the Linked Accounts feature.
To use this feature, all you have to do is type the email and password of the account you want to link, and after that you can switch to that account by just pressing "Log In".
Please just be sure you have a strong password on all of your accounts, otherwise if some bad person enters in one of your accounts, all your linked accounts would be compromised.
In my opinion I don't agree with someone who have more than 2 accounts, 1 Fictional and 1 Real is more than fair.
Someone with more 2 accounts I consider clone, you should do a limit to connect accounts.
Users with more than two accounts aren't harming anything on iOrbix and they are just having fun.
We learned that fictional users like to have an account for each different character they play, so we just have to allow that. It wouldn't be good for iOrbix if we forced every user to have only one fictional account. We wouldn't be fair to them.
And I can see your/their point now, nothing to appoint then.

Nintendo Switch Online has Arrived
Gaming	 Sep 19,2018	 0
Nintendo Switch Online, the paid online service for Nintendo's go-anywhere home video game system, comes with an array of features that provide a great value to Nintendo Switch owners.
Individual memberships are available for $3.99 for one month, $7.99 for three months or $19.99 for 12 months. Up to eight Nintendo Account holders can use a family membership, which costs $34.99 for a year.
"In addition to online play, Nintendo Switch Online includes Save Data Cloud backup for compatible games, a growing library of classic NES games with newly added online play, a smartphone app for voice chat and other features for supported games, and exclusive special offers, like a pair of wireless NES Controllers that can be used to play NES games on Nintendo Switch," said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Nintendo Switch Online allows players to engage in competitive or cooperative gameplay with people around the world in many current and upcoming games like Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. As a reminder, players won't automatically become Nintendo Switch Online members when the service starts, so they will need to purchase an Individual or Family Membership to avoid disruption of their online play in compatible games. A seven-day free trial is also available from Nintendo eShop.
For the first time players will be able to enjoy NES games online. Depending on the game, players can engage in online competitive or co-op multiplayer, or take turns controlling the action. Friends can even watch each other play single-player games online, and virtually "pass the controller" at any time.
The 20 NES games launching with the service today are Balloon Fight, Baseball, Donkey Kong, Double Dragon, Dr. Mario, Excitebike, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Gradius, Ice Climber, Ice Hockey, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros., Pro Wrestling, River City Ransom, Soccer, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Tecmo Bowl, Tennis and Yoshi. Today marks the first time that Pro Wrestling has been available anywhere since it launched for the original NES.
Nintendo will add additional classic NES games at no extra charge. Games planned for October include NES Open Tournament Golf, Solomon's Key and Super Dodge Ball. In November, members will receive Metroid, Mighty Bomb Jack and TwinBee. And in December, members get Adventures of Lolo, Ninja Gaiden and Wario's Woods. The NES Nintendo Switch Online library will continue to grow in 2019.
The Save Data Cloud backup that comes with Nintendo Switch Online memberships automatically creates a backup copy of save data for compatible Nintendo Switch games. This makes it easy for players to retrieve save data if they lose their system or start using a new one.
Nintendo Switch Online expands support for voice chat via the smartphone app with a variety of fan-favorite multiplayer online games, including Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS and Mario Tennis Aces. Additionally, the entire NES Nintendo Switch Online game library also will support voice chat using the smartphone app.
A Nintendo Switch Online membership also gives people access to special offers, such as the exclusive chance to purchase a pair of wireless Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers, which look like the original NES controller. The accessory docks with and charges on the Nintendo Switch system. NES controllers can be pre-purchased as a set of two for $59.99 (plus shipping and tax) by users with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. NES controllers are limited to one set per Nintendo Account holder, and initial orders of the controllers will ship in December.
Also, everyone who buys an Individual 12-Month Membership or a Family Membership to Nintendo Switch Online will receive a download code for exclusive in-game Splatoon 2 gear, based on the jerseys worn by the team that won the Splatoon 2 World Championship during E3 2018.
Nintendo Switch also features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access.

Hope Cemetery, Barre Vermont,
First Published June 2018
Tonight we're going to Hope Cemetery. Now I know what you are probably thinking going where? Why? Stick with me.
Hope Cemetery in Barre, Vermont is like no cemetery we have every visited. Located on a small hillside just outside of Barre, Vermont, the Granite Capital of the World, the Hope Cemetery stands as a magnificent tribute to the stone cutters and artisans peacefully interred among their very own creations.
Hope Cemetery was established in 1895. Originally, it contained 53 acres. Since then, it has expanded to a total of 65 acres. Edward P. Adams, a nationally known landscape architect, created the original plan for the cemetery. There are over 10,000 monuments made of Barre Gray granite.
As we entered the front gate we passed by two granite
sentries, forever watchful over their abode. From the moment we arrived it was obvious to us that this is no typical resting place for loved ones gone by. It is truly a gallery of splendid artwork, in the most unusual of settings. Within the cemetery are really awesome works of art. Each a credit and monument to the artistry of the people who created them, as much a memorial to the people who buried within or under them.
So, let's begin our tour. We begin with the Biplane. Both Leo and his wife, Caroline, were civil air patrol pilots; the headstone, which took three months to create, was carved by Leo's brother-in-law, noted Barre granite artist Giuliano Cecchinelli. The bi-plane has broken through the clouds. The American flag rests in a stand available only for veterans of the US military.
Next is Joey Laquerre Jr.'s No. 61 racecar. (the 1:4 scale-model monument even has a carved axle underneath.) The young man was an enthusiast of fast cars.. He died at 28 years of age.
Here is the elegant and creative monument for the Bernasconi family: Two rectangular pillars are connected by eight chain links in an arch, each link carved with a name of a child. We learned that it was no easy task to carve those links from a single piece of granite — a perilous process, since a mistake or crack would ruin the whole chain. We also learned of the chain's lovely symbolism: two close families and their children are linked together forever by marriage.
Continuing, here is one of the cemetery's most engaging figures done by the gifted Italian sculptor Louis Brusa. It is that of a youthful, sitting angel whose head, adorned with curly, flowing hair, rests on an open palm; her elbow perches on casually crossed legs. Is she pondering life and death? Is there a hint of a smile? Was she a wife, a mistress, a friend? Her face is beguiling, and her eyes seem to return the gaze of a captivated visitor.
Then there's the tragic story of gifted Italian sculptor Louis Brusa and the controversy his monument incited. Brusa fought to force the granite sheds to install dust exhaust systems, even as he was dying of silicosis. The Vermont Legislature passed a law mandating the safety measure in 1937 — too late to help Brusa, who expired the same year. The monument, which he partially carved himself to honor victims of silicosis, caused its own tension in Barre. It depicts a dying Brusa in the arms of an unnamed
standing woman, whose shapely backside was apparently too much for some prim and proper Vermonters! A prominent doctor had his own (future) gravesite moved so he wouldn't have to stare at the blatantly pornographic statue for eternity. Observing the figure's slender granite form with 21st-century eyes, however, you can only marvel at how times have changed.
We move on now to the grave of Elia Corti. This gentleman died after a political meeting got out of hand and he was fatally shot in the stomach. The marker for Elia Corti was crafted from a single block of granite by the brother of the deceased. The outstanding hand carved life-size figure sits quietly contemplative for an eternity to come. The detail of the clothing almost bring this figure to life.
Next is the Soccer monument . The Davis grave contains the body of a young man believed to be a soccer enthusiast. The monument includes the names of his parents.
One of several remarkably eerie but emotionally touching tombs we found was shaped like a bed. William and Gwendolyn Halvosa are shown sitting up in pajamas, holding hands, their tombs stretched out before them. No doubt, preparing for what will be a very long night of sleep.
We also have the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Christ after his crucifixion, death, and removal from the cross, but before he was placed in the tomb. This is a replica of Michangelo's Pieta.
This next was rather unusual to say the least. It is the graves of T. Paul Martel and Janet M. Martel. Not only unusual in its style, but by the fact that there are inscriptions on each side of the cube.
We have Giuseppe Donati's stone, a raised relief depiction of a soldier smoking a cigarette, while the face of his wife or person close to him floats in a wisp of smoke.
There we have the graves of Daniel Morrell Vrooman and Jane Elinor Vrooman in which they caution one and all about the risks of ignoring the spiritual nature of humanity. These markers are engraved on all sides with messages from the Vroomans and passages from the Bible.
Then there are several others for which I could find no information but which I found absolutely fascinating. Take this one depicting a large bass fiddle.
Man on a motorcycle while his wife/mother watches him go
This one of Jesus praying
Finally the grave of a child.
I believe you will agree with me by now that this is no ordinary cemetery. What an unusual place to find such beautiful and fascinating works of art. We are so glad that Dr. Pam, the chiropractor, had told us about this cemetery. Tomorrow, we'll bring you the place where most of these works of art were sculptured which is the Rock of Ages. Using stone from their own quarries, their in-house artisans are the ones behind these awe-inspiring handcrafted monuments.
Till then, day is gone and night is once more upon us. We had an absolutely fascinating day of discovery. As always, made better by the fact that we did it together, traveling along, singing our song, side by side. We thank you for taking the time to come along with us. We also hope that your day was a truly great one as well. Now, in closing, a thought for each of us to ponder:
This post is an oldie, but goody! Those headstones are truly works of art. I never knew such a place existed! Thank you for sharing! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Glad you enjoyed. It was really a fantastic place. And headstones like that are still being made and placed. Have a great week.
We have a cemetery in St. Louis which offers all kinds of historical tours. Bellefontaine Cemetery and it is where some famous people are laid to rest – including William Clark.

Is Kanye West an asshole...or just a rock star? Or, is it a requirement that a rock be an asshole? How many lead singers are introverted, shy guys? It takes a certain personality to want to be on stage in front of the thousands of people wanting them to cheer for them. If you really thing about it, all singers are narcissist to some degree. Yet, we find it so surprising when a lead singer acts like a narcissist. Big personalities make big music. Small personalities don't make it at all.
Here are the 11 Best Songs By Kanye West:
1. Diamonds From Sierra Leone Remix w/ Jay-Z (Late Registration)
2. Stronger (Graduation)
3. Jesus Walks (College Drop-Out)
4. Touch The Sky (Late Registration)
5. Golddigger (Late Registration)
6. Never Let Me Down (College Drop-Out)
7. Roses (Late Registration)
8. Heartless (808s & Heartbreak)
9. Homecoming (Graduation)
10. Amazing (808s & Heartbreak)
11. Through The Wire (College Drop-Out)

The 11 Best Bruce Springsteen Songs of the 00s:
There are certain albums that come along in a band's career that are above comparison. For me, these would include The Cure's Disintegration, GNR's Appetite For Destruction, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Pearl Jam's Ten. These artistss have all had good careers and churned tons of great music, but these albums remain their zenith of perfection. Each an untouchable album of pristine quality. Bruce Springsteen's The Rising would also fall into this category. That may be a surprising thing to say considering the momumental albums that the Boss has given to the world...Born To Run, Nebraska, Born in the USA, Darkness. Each great. Each an amazing album. But to me, the Rising was something else.
The Rising was a moment in time. America was reeling in post-tramatic stress from the 9/11 hijackings. We didn't know how we felt and we didn't know how to feel. One man said it all for us perfectly. Bruce Springsteen put out an album of emotions that embodied what everyone was feeling. Everything that we had bottled up, he let out. He didn't shy away from hurt, from pain, or from anger. He said everything we felt, and he felt everything we said. Musically, it soared. Lyrically, it was grounded. There has really never been any other rock album in history that managed to capture a moment in American history as much as this album by Bruce.
How do you compare his other music to this? You can't. That doesn't mean he didn't make other good contributions. This past decade was one of his busiest decades of his entire career. He put out 9 albums! While, everything was very overshadowed by The Rising...he still had some great music that should not be overlooked.
Just as epic as Darkness on the Edge of Town is...the songs that didn't make the album, have just as much going for them. Be sure to check out the Promise...even if you're just a casual Bruce fan. You won't be disappointed.

The 11 Best Songs By Cee-Lo Green
I was discussing...more like debating...with a friend the merits of Cee-Lo's hit song, "Fuck You!" I personally think it's an awesome song. I think the profanity perfectly exhibits that frustrated high school sentiment of sitting in your room learning that the girl you have a crush on is going out with the biggest douche bag in your class. We've all been there. My friend disagrees. Though he likes the music and the tone of the song...even the sentiment, he thinks the profanity ultimately ruins the timelessness of the song. It goes from potentially be a smash hit to a novelity. He used the example...imagine if Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was really called "Fuck It." Would the song be huge? For sake of conversation, let's say he meant "Fuck off" not fuck it...since Fuck it and Beat It have two totally different meanings. That said...how would that affect the song? It's a valid question. I don't think the song would be as good. But that's because that song didn't need the profanity to be a good song. Just as the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" didn't need it. Or U2's "Pride" didn't need it. But there are times that profanity actually makes a song better. Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" is just that much better because of the speed-mumbled line "harmless little fuck." And that's a classic. Rage Against The Machine uses the line "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" for the song "Killing in the Name Of..." and turns that phrase into a timeless anthem. And NWA's "Fuck Tha Police" is a cultural battle cry. Would the song have been better if it went... "Screw the police, coming straight from the underground, young brother got it bad cuz I'm brown?" Just not the same.
Here are the 11 Best Songs By Cee-Lo Green:
1. Getting Grown (Perfect Imperfections)
2. When We Were Friends (Soul Machine)
3. Let's Stay Together (Soul Machine)
4. What Part of Forever (Twilight Eclipse)
5. I'll Be Around (Soul Machine)

8. Ophidiophobia (Snakes on a Plane)
9. Die Trying (Soul Machine)

The 11 Best Songs By N*E*R*D
When I was younger, hearing a band exhibiting a throwback sound always instigated a feeling of disgust. I was instantly appalled by the incredible lack of creativity that the band was ripping off someone else's sound instead of creating their own. I preferred completely unique and original bands like Guns N Roses and Depeche Mode.
It wasn't until I was older that I realized that Axl Rose was just trying to be Rob Halford and Slash was merely mimicking Brian May. While David Gahan and Martin Gore were trying their best to do their Roxy Music meets Kraftwerk impression.
Now, I get it. There is nothing truly original. So, when a band employs a quality throwback sound. I think I enjoy it a lot more than someone trying to sound different...just to sound original.
Here are the 11 Best Songs By N*E*R*D:
1. Run To The Sun (In Serach Of...)
2. You Know What (Seeing Sounds)
3. Lapdance (In Search Of...)
4. Tape You (In Search Of...)
5. Laugh About It (Seeing Sounds)
6. Maybe (Fly or Die)
7. Things Are Getting Better (In Search Of...)
8. Drill Sargaent (Fly or Die)
9. Rock Star (In Search Of...)
10. Sooner or Later (Seeing Sounds)
11. Stay Together (In Seatch Of...)

11 Good Albums from the Past Couple Months
Sorry I've been on hiatus as of late. Had some family stuff come up. Followed by the Giants unbelievably making it to the World Series...and winning. A work crisis. And finally topped it off with some good old fashioned stomach flu. There's one thing I realized while having my untimely bought with the stomach flu...there's a band, an album, or a song for every situation. As I slowly recovered from my annoying illness after wallowing on the floor in crippling pain. I was able to get onto my computer for a few minutes to check some emails...and play some Facebook games (need to have priorites, right?). My itunes popped on with an album I had been listening to recently...Fistful of Mercy. For some reason, at that moment, while every noise...light...movement...shake of my body made me want to run to the bathroom and pray to an unHoly devil...that album hit the spot. It was the perfect momentarily distraction.
The reason the album was up on my computer was because I was lucky enough to attend Fistful of Mercy's private "first live show ever" last week. For those unfamiliar with the band, it's Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur, and Dhani Harrison. I can't say enough good things about the band...and would have done a more formal list if this hadn't been their first album. That said, there have been a few new albums over the past couple of months that did not get a list since there were not enough songs by the band to do a proper list yet. Therefore, here's a nod to them.
PS. Pardon my crappy cellphone camera picture...but that is a shot from the show.
11 Good Albums Worth Checking Out From the Past Couple Months:
1. Fistful of Mercy - As I Call You Down
2. Warpaint - The Fool
3. John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up!
4. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
5. Klaxons - Surfing The Void
6. Efterklang - Magic Chairs
7. Tired Pony - The Place We Ran From
8. Crocodiles - Sleep Forever
9. Bonobo - Black Sands
10. The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger - Acoustic Sessions
11. Twin Shadow - Forget

Get to know a Brewers reliever: Eric Yardley
By Matthew Dewoskin

The Milwaukee Brewers claimed right-hander Eric Yardley off waivers back in November. It's okay if you didn't notice then, but he could end up in the 2020 bullpen.
The Milwaukee Brewers could set a Major League record for the number of pitchers that come and go through their bullpen in 2020. GM David Stearns chose not to address relief pitching through spending on expensive free agents or dealing for a top set up guy. The team will have to figure out a way to get from the starting pitcher to closer Josh Hader. It's possible that right-handed reliever Eric Yardley is a part of the bullpen at some point in 2020, but will he make an impact?
What brought Yardley to the Brewers?
Yardley spent the 2019 season like he had for most of the previous six years. Yardley started the 2019 season pitching for a San Diego Padres affiliate. However, for the first time in his career, Yardley didn't end the season in the minors. He earned a late season call up, and made his Major League debut.
Yardley appeared in 10 games for the Padres last year. He managed a 2.31 ERA in 11 2/3 innings of work. Yardley struck out seven, walked three, and was tagged for one homer.
He also posted a 2.83 ERA in 63 2/3 innings at Triple-A last year. He also struck out 52, walked 14, and gave up three homers.
What does Yardley throw?
Yardley pairs a sinker that sits in the 88 MPH-to-85 MPH range with a slider that sits in the low 70s. He won't light up a radar gun, but he has posted a GB:FB ratio of over 3.00 at almost every stop in the minors.
If the Brewers need a ground ball in the late innings, Yardley would almost certainly keep the ball on the ground.
Can Yardley make the team out of Spring Training?
Given that the Brewers have about a dozen guys competing for three or four roster spots, Yardley would have his work cut out for him.
Next. Who should the Brewers offer contract extensions to?. dark
Yardley, like most relievers on the Brewers roster, will be given a chance to impress during Spring Training. He's on the outside looking in right now because he's coming in from another organization and doesn't have much of a Major League track record. However, that can change rapidly during Spring Training. If Yardley can to string together a few scoreless outings, he could really improve his standing in the depth chart.


The arrest took place on Sunday after Demetrius Nathaniel Pitts met with an undercover agent, the FBI announced during a press conference Monday.
Pitts, who also used the name Abdur Raheem Rafeeq, told the undercover agent of his allegiance to al-Qaeda and to kill U.S. Military personnel, their families, federal agents and possibly attack Philadelphia where he used to live, according to authorities.
Pitts told the undercover agent his intention was most likely to bomb Cleveland's Independence Day parade. He surveilled Voinovich Park and the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Cleveland.
Among Pitts' plans were loading a van in downtown Cleveland with explosives, which would be used to destroy city landmarks, and giving toys filled with explosives to the children of Military members.
He first came to authorities' attention after he posted several disturbing messages on Facebook.
"We as Muslim need to start training like this every day. We need to know how to shoot guns, throw hand grenades, hand-to-hand combat," one post read.
Cleveland Police officials assured the public that they would have a robust presence in downtown Cleveland on July 4 despite Pitts' arrest.

Mandatory Use of ADAMS for DCFs and TUEs
BoardCommitteeWADAWAKOWorld
In order to reinforce the existing requirements of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (Code) (Article 14.5); as well as the International Standards for Testing and Investigations (ISTI) (Article 4.9.1b) and Therapeutic Use Exemptions (ISTUE) (Article 5.4); and, to ensure the transparency of all signatories' anti-doping programs, the Foundation Board of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) decided at its 12 May meeting that:
1. Given that it is a mandatory requirement under the Code and the ISTI to enter all Doping Control Forms (DCFs) and under the ISTUE to enter all Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) decisions into ADAMS, all DCFs and TUE decisions shall be entered into ADAMS no later than 15 business days after sample collection or receipt of a TUE decision; and
2. Failure to do so, will result in a declaration of non-compliance, in accordance with the ISO certified WADA process for non-compliance.
This decision will take effect 1 June 2016.
To avoid corrective action for the entry of DCFs and TUEs into ADAMS, ADOs are required to enter all DCFs and TUEs from 1 June 2016 onwards within 15 business days. DCFs and TUEs generated between 1 January 2016 and 1 June 2016 must be entered as soon as possible and no later than 31 December 2016.
WADA's access to DCFs and TUE information is a key element to ensure effective monitoring of ADOs' anti-doping programs. A key recommendation of WADA's recent Independent Commission , which exposed widespread doping in Russian athletics, was for WADA to reiterate to all signatories that they are obliged to "provide complete and timely data for ADAMS". WADA's Athlete Committee also strongly supports this requirement. As is WAKO IF.
DCFs must be entered into ADAMS to enable a meaningful steroidal and hematological Athlete Biological Passport 's program to operate globally; to facilitate coordinated test distribution planning; and, to avoid unnecessary duplication in testing by ADOs. Despite this already being a requirement of the Code and ISTI, only 60% of DCFs globally were entered into ADAMS in 2015.
It is equally important that information about TUEs be made available via ADAMS. This is necessary in order to allow WADA and WAKO to fulfil its responsibilities under Article 14.5 of the Code with respect to the sharing of data and coordination of anti-doping activities.
Thank you for your collaboration and your commitment to clean sport.
Roy Baker,
Vice President WAKO
Acting President WAKO Europe
