Winter Festival Hall in Erl by Delugan Meissl

The winter festival hall's geometry develops from the surrounding topography and places the building and the already existing summer festival hall in juxtaposition. Its positioning relates to the existing landscape, the dynamic gesture of the historical counterpart, as well as the background rock formations. The buildings face each other, complement and increase the respective constructional articulation of the reference to the landscape and enter an atmospheric interaction. Geometry and colour stress the duality of old and new.
While the existing building comes to the fore during the summer festival period, the change of the seasons causes a reversal in the colours of the ensemble. The building is similar in design to tectonic stratification with interrupting faults whose strategic positioning points the way into the building's interior. At night, the distinct façade allows insight into the gleaming interior and generates a tantalising entrance into the festival hall's foyer.
The topographic imprinting in the landscape continues inside the building where two central parameters direct the architectural approach: the interplay between the building's interior and the surrounding nature as well as the concentrated, spatial composition of a functionally optimised concert hall of international repute. Existing characteristics of the surrounding area are reinforced by the conceptual design. Flowing visual and functional spatial references define the design method: Spaces of different zoning and configurations implement the focus on communication and peace, dynamics and concentration. Architectural conditions in the building's interior are devolved into a subtle control of the motion sequences through their sensual perception.
The access staircase is integrated into the terrain's topography and leads visitors into the building's interior. The cloakroom and reception desk are located close to the entry. The foyer – an asymmetrical space – allows a wide range of impressions of the surrounding natural environment as well as to the existing summer festival hall. In the opposite direction, a staircase leads to the gallery on the level above where the relationship between interior and exterior relations is once again impressively experienced by the extensively glass-fronted western façade. Secondary functions of the building are also located at the upper level. Paths and spatial layout are designed both functionally as well as atmospherically: vast communication zones, narrowing and widening circulation areas and varying ceiling heights translate the tectonic building geometry in a sensually comprehensible way.
Coherently, the approach to the concert hall is effectively emphasised by the gentle rise of the entry level. The concert hall, which is situated at the centre of the building like a shell and is anchored to the rock at the back, is connected to the foyer via two accesses on each level. The passage from the foyer into the concert hall is accompanied by a spatial and atmospheric transformation: Dynamics, variability and asymmetry of the foyer give way to highest concentration, static peace and orthogonality.
Corresponding to the flowing sequence of rooms, the physiological perception of each area is at the centre of the materiality concept. Haptic as well as optical differentiations in the interior follow the building's functional geometry and contribute to orientation by intuitive allocations of spatial elements and functional areas. The foyer's bright rays in hibernal twilight emphasises the focus on communication in this space of encounter. Following the metaphor of an excavated jewel, the concert hall offers a change of materials: wooden surfaces and sober colours come together in a warm, atmospheric spatial composition of suspenseful peace and focus the visitors' concentration and perception on to the performance. Multiple technical fixtures as well as the transformability of the hall allow for manifold uses which go beyond those of a traditional concert and festival establishment.

Unmasked: The shadowy TV executive who sparked X Factor fixing row
Boss Richard Holloway was the executive seen on camera crawling along the studio floor to have a word in Louis Walsh's ear
X Factor fans last night threatened to boycott the show after Sunday's fix claims fiasco sparked a furious backlash from viewers and celebs.
ITV and Ofcom were hit by more than 2,500 complaints and tens of thousands took to Twitter to slam the decision to send Carolynne Poole home amid allegations that dithering Louis Walsh was told to change his vote to deadlock – which saved novelty act Rylan Clark.
Boss Richard Holloway was yesterday unmasked as the executive seen on camera crawling along the studio floor to have a word in the Irish judge's ear during the sing-off between the rivals.
The 62-year-old is one of Simon Cowell's closest pals and also works as his axeman.

'We DON'T tell judges how to vote': X Factor producer Richard Holloway denies accusations of 'fixing' live results show
The X Factor producer accused of steering Louis Walsh to save Rylan Clark over Carolynne Poole has denied accusations that he 'fixed' the show.
Richard Holloway insisted he did not direct judge Louis to change his mind, but was merely 'telling him the order the judges would vote in and that he would be last.'
In it's first weekend of live shows, The X Factor infuriated millions who believe the Irish judge was told to send the decision to deadlock and take the final vote to the public.

Dermot O'Leary defends 'X Factor' results show actions
Dermot O'Leary has defended his actions at the end of last night's (October 7) The X Factor, when he refused to accept Louis Walsh's first answer on the ITV1 results show.
Walsh was the final judge to select who he wanted to send home out of the bottom two – Carolynne Poole and Rylan Clark. After much deliberation, Walsh stated clearly that he wanted to save Poole.
However, O'Leary insisted that Walsh had to state who he wanted to "send home" and not just who he wanted to stay in the competition.
O'Leary's probing seemingly caused Walsh to change his mind and the Irish judge stated that he wanted to send the show "to deadlock" and the public vote. Walsh never actually stated who he wanted to "send home", but O'Leary was willing to accept his answer of taking it to deadlock.
Commenting on his changed stance on the show's rules during the finale, O'Leary said on Twitter: "Weird show. For those asking I have ask who the judges are sending home, not save. Straight question. Been like that's for 9 years (sic)!"

Wearing a thigh-skimming, neon pink mini-dress with black and white trim, the London-born judge looked dated next to Nicole Scherzinger who donned an on-trend, figure-hugging gold dress.

Keep stir frying, until the okra changes color, in about 10-15 minutes, adding a bit of oil if needed. The okra will not get sticky when cooked on medium heat, stirred frequently like this.
Turn off the heat; enjoy with a rice of your choice.
If the knife doesn't cut through the okra easily, and you hear a crunch like you're cutting into a carrot or an onion, the okra is not tender. Discard the offending okra. Back home, people try to break the stem off when buying okra to test for tenderness - this habit is highly frowned upon by the vegetable sellers, and I never learned to test it this way. But after you've been buying okra for a while, you get a sense for tender okra.
This recipe is for my kids - they both love it!

Princess Claire's Romantic Royal Wedding Tiara
Mark Renders/Getty Images
Our final sparkling royal wedding flashback of the week takes us back to 2003, when Princess Claire of Belgium made a gorgeous splash in a beautiful lace and satin wedding gown.
Scott Barbour/Getty Images
On April 12, 2003, Claire Coombs married Prince Laurent, the second son of King Albert II and Queen Paola of Belgium, in a pair of ceremonies in Brussels. Just like Laurent's brother and sister-in-law a few years earlier, Laurent and Claire were married in a civil ceremony at the Brussels Town Hall and then in a religious ceremony at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula.
For both ceremonies, Claire wore a gorgeous gown made by Édouard Vermeulen, the Belgian couturier who runs the label Natan. The satin gown featured a lace overlay on its bodice, including a striking, romantic off-the-shoulder neckline. The beautiful dress caught the eyes of royal watchers around the world—and also the eyes of Hollywood costume designers, as it was the inspiration for a wedding dress featured in The Princess Diaries 2 the following year.
The lace on Claire's wedding gown echoed the pattern of her heirloom lace veil. The veil was a loan from her new mother-in-law, Queen Paola, who inherited it from her mother, Luisa. Paola wore the veil for her wedding, and she also loaned it to Queen Mathilde for her wedding day.
The design of the lace was also reflected in the design of Claire's delicate diamond wedding tiara. The petite diamond sparkler was Claire's wedding gift from her new parents-in-law, King Albert and Queen Paola.
Claire also wore a distinctly modern pair of diamond and pearl drop earrings. The earrings feature pavé-set diamond hoops from which pear-shaped pearl drops are suspended.
She also wore a slender diamond bracelet on her right wrist.
Here's one more look at Claire's earrings and bracelet. You'll note that the pearls gleam beautifully in this lighting, and the bracelet's detail—larger brilliants interspersed along the tennis-style bracelet—shows up nicely here as well.
Please note: We are monitoring the ongoing situation regarding the health of HM The Queen, and we will share more here at The Court Jeweller if and when it becomes appropriate. In the meantime, you can follow The Court Jeweller on Twitter for updates as they become available.

A bizarre ritual performed today (November 8) in Ujjain, in central India saw scores of men volunteering to get trampled by cows and bulls to bring prosperity.
The century-old ritual followed by Hindu men took place during the day of Govardhana Puja in the city of Ujjain in Maharashtra state.
Cows have their hides and horns painted in a variety of colours and are herded together to make the march.
The herds then are funnelled through the narrow streets, walking over the men lying down in the road, with many men being trampled by the cattle.
Despite knowing the dangers involved, hundreds of men travel all the way to the city to lay down on the ground as the cows and bulls are let loose.
While many know the ritual can be deadly, men willingly follow the age-old Hindu belief that cattle - considered extremely sacred in Hinduism - can wipe off their troubles and bless them with happiness and prosperity.

JP Morgan says more 'unicorns' are coming to China — and investors are going to like them
Loknath Das December 5, 2018 Business Trends, News No Comments
Dave Zhong | Getty Images for CNBC International
Jing Ulrich, MD & Vice Chairman of Asia Pacific of JPMorgan Chase, speaks during Fireside Chat on Day 1 of CNBC East Tech West at LN Garden Hotel Nansha Guangzhou on November 27, 2018 in Nansha, Guangzhou, China.
More start-ups valued at $1 billion or more — so-called "unicorns" — are coming to China within the next five years, a J.P. Morgan Chase executive said on Wednesday.
"We are very excited about the prospects for technology in China," said Jing Ulrich, managing director and vice chairman for Asia Pacific at the investment banking giant.
In particular, China is "really leading the way globally" in the realms of artificial intelligence, "new-energy" vehicles and electronic payments, Ulrich said at CNBC's East Tech West conference in the Nansha district of Guangzhou, China.
"I would say in the next three to five years, in some of these verticals, you will have a number of unicorns and super-unicorns emerging, and they should be very, very popular among investors globally," Ulrich said.
Unicorns are commonly defined as start-ups valued at $1 billion or more.
Ulrich's upbeat assessment comes amid an intense trade fight between Beijing and Washington. Investors will closely watch a weekend meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
'Hopeful'
Ulrich said she was "hopeful" for a de-escalation in trade tensions between the world's two largest economies, with China offering a package of "concessions" such as improving intellectual property protection and allowing access to its domestic market.
"The two sides are both coming to the table to work out some kind of resolution. Even though the resolution may be short-term, but a temporary truce should be positive for markets," Ulrich said.
"Of course, we cannot hold out hope that this one dinner will actually end all trade escalation or trade tensions forever. But at least, I think, there is something to look forward to. We do see some kind of light at the end of the tunnel," Ulrich said.

Spildopsamling eller lageradministration (sjældnere hukommelsesindsamling, engelsk garbage collection) er indenfor datalogi en form for automatisk hukommelsesstyring.

Spildopsamleren forsøger at genindsamle hukommelse der optages af objekter, som ikke længere anvendes af programmet. Hukommelsesindsamling blev opfundet af John McCarthy omkring 1959 som løsning på problemer i Lisp.

Spildopsamling betegnes ofte som det modsatte af manuel spildopsamling, som kræver at programmøren specificerer objekter der skal deallokaliseres og returneres til hukommelsesstyringen.

Q: Why do we need to study mathematical aspects of quantum field theory, especially axiomatic picture What is the usefulness in mathematics, I know it can provide topological invariants, any other things?

A: One can prove many things (enumerative results in algebraic geometry, results in the geometric Langlands program, mirror symmetry) by making physics-style computations in various quantum field theories.  Currently, one is not able to make such arguments rigorous in general, and hence they become a method for producing conjectures in mathematics, not theorems.  One would like to upgrade their status to being proved theorems (!), and one approach would be to find
a framework in which the field-theoretic computations become valid mathematical deductions.
One current framework in which one can do something like this is that supplied by the bordism hypothesis of Baez and Dolan, recently proved by Jacob Lurie.    This provides a rigorous means of constructing certain topological field theories, which is already beginning to find applications.  But (for example) this framework is not encompassing enough to explain mathematically the results of Kapustin and Witten in the direction of deducing geometric Langlands from mirror symmetry.

Another Freak-Show Big-Money Art Auction: Warhol's "Double Elvis" Brings $37 Million
Another Freak-Show Big-Money Art Auction: Warhol's "Double Elvis" Brings
An iconic portrait of Elvis Presley by pop artist Andy Warhol went for $37 Million when it hit the auction block tonight at Sotheby's. The life-size 1963 silkscreen ink and spray paint piece, Double Elvis (Ferus Type), epitomizes Warhol's obsessions with fame, stardom and the public image, according to Sotheby's. Previously estimated to sell for $30 million to $50 million, it was included in the auction house's May 9th sale of post-war and contemporary art. Art auctions have turned into freak-show casinos, spectacles where the uber-rich can act out as much in public as possible, trying to buy immortality, become a part of art history, make headlines and create big profits. They are despicable for what they do to art, for the bad magic of making mysteriously powerful things turn into numbers.
The silver background of Double Elvis (Ferus Type), along with the subtle variations in tone is said to give the serial imagery a sense of rhythmic variation that recalls the artist's masterpiece, 200 One Dollar Bills, completed the previous year. That work soared to nearly $44 million or four times its estimate in 2009 and achieved the highest price of any work at the fall auctions. But it was a work from Warhol's Death and Disaster series that set the artist's record, which still stands. Green Car Crash (Green Car Burning), also from 1963, more than doubled its estimate and sold for $71.7 million in 2007, at the height of the art market boom.
In the Double Elvis work, Presley is dressed as a cowboy, shooting a gun. Sotheby's describes him in the work as "a Hollywood icon of the sixties rather than the rebellious singer who shook the world of music in the sixties." The double in the title refers to a shadowy image of Presley in the same pose that appears next to him in the work.
Bob Dylan Holding "Double Elvis" at The Factory, NYC, 1965
On an eagerly-awaited visit to The Factory in 1965 for one of Warhol's "Screen Test" sessions, Bob Dylan and his crew, along with their host Andy Warhol, were photographed on the set. At the session, Andy gave Dylan a great double image of Elvis. Dylan departed, having tied the Elvis image to the top of his station wagon, like a deer poached out of season. Much later, Dylan said that he'd traded the "Double Elvis" (now worth millions) to his manager for a couch!

Andy Warhol's Pop Art: A Documentary (2000)
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a leading figure in the visual pop art movement. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement. He worked in a range of media, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, film and music. He founded Interview Magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. Andy Warhol is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio in New York City, The Factory, was a famous gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons.

Warhol With All-American Faces
Before They Were Famous: Behind The Lens of William John Kennedy is an extraordinary collection of images by the photographer William John Kennedy, which is currently on exhibition at the new gallery Site/109 in New York City. The collection presents a number of never-before-seen photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana, among them Warhol's Marilyn Monroe and Indiana's LOVE, taken by Mr. Kennedy in the mid-60's when they were both just emerging American artists.
The fact that these early images of the two iconic American artists happened isn't necessarily the exciting part. It's that the amazingly early, naïve portraits of the artists with their own works were created before they were famous. These early images sat untouched for over 50 years, until Kennedy uncovered them within his archives and decided it was time to finally print this project.

Andy Warhol and Friends: On Set and Back Home
June 5, 2010 — Patrick Zimmerman
Andy Warhol and Friends
Andy Warhol and Friends is a new collection of photographs of Andy Warhol and his circle of friends. In this extensive set of photographs, Warhol and his film crew shoot the 1968 Lonesome Cowboys movie in the hot Arizona desert, and other images capture Andy and his sidekicks posing and generally acting very "artsy-campy" well into the 1980s.
"Warhol's Cinema" from The Factory: 1963-1968
Warhol's Cinema is a 1989 BBC-TV Channel 4 documentary about a number of films made Andy Warhol in the 1960s. During the five year span of his obsession with films, Warhol made more than 50 films between 1963-1968. Most of his movies were 16-millimeter films and included Chelsea Girls, Empire, Sleep, Kiss, My Hustler and Lonesome Cowboys. He made many of the films in his mid-town studio, known as The Factory, where the young people in his offbeat cortège, alternately beautiful and bizarre, spent much or most of their time. That group of followers included, among many others, Baby Jane Holzer, Gerard Malanga, Paul America, Holly Woodlawn, Joe Dellasandro, Chuck Weir and Edie Sedgwick.

Warhol's Shiny Silver Tin-Foil Factory
Andy Warhol's original Factory was often thought of as the Silver Factory by the people who came to derive a sense of attachment from being involved in or even just hanging around the sense of creative excitement that was evolving there. This was amplified by the national social (and political) landscape at that time, where fragmentation was gaining increasing momentum. The sense of excitement around the Factory derived, to a large degree, from an energized feeling that it was possible to openly embrace a range of experiences that had previously been socially forbidden.
In this way, the shiny, shimmering silver represented the decadence of the scene, as well as the "proto-glam" of the early sixties. Silver, fractured mirrors and tin foil were the basic decorating materials loved by the early amphetamine users of the sixties. By combining the industrial structure of his unfurnished Factory art studio with the glitter of silver and what it represented, Warhol was commenting on American values, as he did so often in his art. The years spent at the Factory were known as the Silver Era, not solely because of its design, but also because of the decadent and carefree lifestyle full of money, parties, drugs and fame.
The Factory became a meeting place for a large number of artists and musicians such as Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Brian Jones, Truman Capote, Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith, William Burroughs, Baby Jane Holzer, Anita Pallenberg, Philip Johnson and Mick Jagger. Other, less frequent visitors included Salvador Dalí, Tennessee Williams and Allen Ginsberg. At the same time, Warhol collaborated with Lou Reed's influential New York rock band, The Velvet Underground, and in 1965 he designed the famous cover for The Velvet Underground & Nico, the band's debut album. Paradoxically, however, no matter how rose-colored the glasses, the silvery glitter was after all only tawdry tin foil. In this sense, Warhol had built a sham to reflect the broader social sham that he claimed to be rejecting. Unfortunately, many members of his Factory entourage took the sham for real and paid dearly for it in or with their lives.

Speechless: Dylan Alone in Warhol's Photobooth
Attempts at realistic self-portraits have always been a means of expression for inward-looking romanticism, melancholy, and trying to stop time for a moment to preserve a fleeting physical and emotional presence. Think of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Chuck Close, to name just a few.
Andy Warhol introduced the idea of the movie self-portrait. Warhol's Screen Tests were filmed from early 1964 until November 1966. Visitors to The Factory who had potential "star" quality would be seated in front of a tripod mounted camera and asked to be as still as possible. They were told not to blink while the camera was running, a camera that was loaded with a minute's worth of film. People made their own movie self portraits, while sitting all alone in the room with the camera turned on.
The range of emotions that flickered in the eyes and nervous facial twitches and grimaces revealed a tremendous amount about the underlying person behind the mask, and infused these portraits with waves of feelings that could rarely be communicated with a still image. Even though no one else is present in the room, the subject does not really have control. Something vulnerable is revealed. Waves of feelings and emotions and insecurities pass before our eyes. Here's the screen test/movie self portrait by an obviously uncomfortable Bob Dylan.

The Latin reading blog: A miracle by saint Nicolas.
Saint Nicolas has arrived in the Netherlands, bringing presents to children and adults, especially at the evening of the 5th of December. At that night he will miraculously disappear, not to be seen again till around the same time next year. Of course there is nothing surprising about this, as this holy man is a Θαυματουργός, a performer of miracles. This 11th century mystery-play leaves us in no doubt about the capacities of Saint Nicolas. Three clerics are abroad for study (causa discendi litteras), night is falling and they seek a place to sleep. They come at the house of an old man who lives there with a younger wife (she is both called mulier and vetula). The old man initially refuses shelter for the clerics, but at the request of his wife he does. When all three are asleep the couple notices the well-filled purses and they see their chance for overcoming their poverty: killing the clergymen and keeping the money – and so they do. But then Saint Nicolas knocks at their door. He is let in and asks for something to eat: fresh meat (carnem recentem). The old man denies having fresh meat, but the saint knows better and tells what has happened. Saint Nicolas restores the corpses back to life and forgives the couple.

Hardworking plumber John Doherty might have thought about hanging up his spanners and taking life a bit more easily when he won the lottery back in July, no one would have blamed him. But quitting work is not for him as he was seen out this week renewing his training to continue as a gasman.
It's several months since John Doherty won a massive £14,000,000 on the UK Lotto, a pretty big win by all accounts and certainly enough for the 52-year-old winner to retire on. However, two days after the win, the plumber was back mending boilers, and now with the renewal of his training, it's clear that he has no intention of quitting work any time soon.
The father of two scooped the jackpot back on 2nd July after matching all six numbers in the Lotto draw but he hasn't really splashed the cash. While a new Mercedes van carrying his company logo might show that the winner is somewhat affluent, the down to earth winner insists that he loves what he does and thinks it keeps him grounded. He has no intention of jetting off or quitting the job he's done for 32 years, but the win has made a huge difference to his life.
The Lotto winner and his wife hit the news when they scooped this massive jackpot the day before they were due to fly to Florida on a family break. One lucky dip from the local store and they were over £14,000,000 richer. Due to fly the couple hid the ticket at home, went on holiday and alerted Lotto bosses upon their return. There may be many more holidays to come, but John says he's definitely not quitting his job.


Football has been one of the most enjoyed and played sports known in the world today.
Like any other sports, football, too, requires special equipment and tools to help enhance game play and help the players as well.
In this article, you will learn about the 7 best football gloves to date and how to choose them properly.
Why Do You Need Football Gloves?
To start off, football gloves have been introduced in the sports world in 1939. Since then, it has come a long way and has improved drastically.
However, despite the changes from the first prototype up until today's models, it still serves its purpose: to catch the ball more efficiently and protect the player's hand.
Without these football gloves, athletes would suffer from various unfortunate consequences that can be unimaginable.
Thanks to technological advancement and its popularity, all football athletes can protect their hands with football gloves.
Like a lot of sports equipment, no matter how pricey or cheap it is, a football glove does provide benefits to athletes.
It provides adhesive-like surfaces for a better catch.
The surfaces on the gloves or the palm area of your gloves are equipped with sticky surfaces that help the ball sort of adhere to its surface.
This feature does not make your ball stick like glue, but it helps you catch the ball better since the ball will naturally adhere to them due to added chemicals or special built-in features.
Also, this makes one hand catches possible that makes everyone go in awe.
It makes your hands weatherproof.
No matter what kind of weather is out on your game day, you know your football match won't be stopped for this.
Having wet hands during rainy or snowy weather causes you to catch your ball poorly.
With football gloves, the sticky surface helps provide traction between your hands and the ball. This makes ball catching better no matter what type of weather is upon you.
It keeps your hands healthy.
There is no denying that professional athletes or even student athletes rely on their sports ability to earn a living or support their schooling.
With football gloves, you help protect your hands from possible injuries that may cause you to be off the team or retire early.
Since no football players want that, it is best to invest in football gloves to make sure your "golden" hands make it further more in your career.
It is not all about ball catching.
Football gloves are not just for catching ball in the field. They are beneficial to all players who are involved in sports that require a lot hand actions.
They, too, need protection for their hands and finger, especially when a game gets more intense.
In choosing the right and best football gloves for you, you must remember that it should fit you like magic and does good rather than harm.
Now, before you could go off into a shopping spree, choosing the best football gloves for you requires you to know what position you are playing in.
It all starts from understanding your position, what your position needs the most, and how your gloves can help you with that.
If you are still starting out and waiting until your coach tells you what position you will be in, you can still practice and play with football gloves.
The best overall gloves would be gloves that are flexible, prevent from any slippage due to sweat or wet weather, have tackiness in the surface, and most importantly, protect your hands and fingers from any damage you might get in the field.
If you happen to be the wide receiver of your team, long term athletes in the business recommend good quality snug football gloves that almost feel like a second skin when you wear it.
The stickiness of the surface must be good too in order to avoid slippage during the game. The fabric or material used is the best if it allows flexibility to keep your fingers moving.
For running backs, it is best to choose gloves that adhere to the ball nicely and fit your hands snuggly without suffocating it.
It is essential to make sure that your gloves are thick enough to protect your hands from impact but not too thick that can cause sweating.
For wide receivers, most NFL players suggest to wear gloves without padding, gloves that are tight, and gloves that are sticky.
Although admittedly, quarterbacks or QBs don't wear gloves too often compared to the aforementioned positions above, wearing a pair can sure have its benefits too.
According to NFL athletes, a sticky pair can help you better grip the ball.
Also, it is best to make sure that your gloves are padded but not too thick which helps take off pressure as you catch the ball.
However, for quarterback gloves, choose the ones that offer protection more than the surface's stickiness because it avoids the ball from sticking to the glove as you throw or release the ball.
All football gloves share the same features but may vary according to their use. In this section, you will learn about what those key features are and how you can use them in your advantage to win your first or next game.

12 sailors, who were detained in Greece more than a year ago on suspicion of smuggling weapons, returned to Ukraine according to Hromadske.
It is reported that relatives met sailors at the Odesa airport.
"We are tired, we want to go home, rest, I hardly saw my son for a year and a half, he does not even remember me," said one Ukrainian sailor and added that the condition for their return is the monthly check-in at the consulate of Greece in Odesa.
The other crew members - the captain, his assistant and sailors will be in Greece until all the circumstances are clarified, according to the decision of the court.
We recall, the container ship Mekong Spirit was detained by the Greek police on May 25, 2017 on suspicion of transporting military goods. Its members are 17 citizens of Ukraine, including the captain.

Interesting tidbits. The are from a few days ago.
I guess, instead of making billions upon billions upon billions, they are just making billions upon billions. I am real broken up over this. But for the sake of the national economy, get out there and buy some video games darn it.
Seriously, dude did not have to work so hard. He could have taken it easy. How can anyone blame him for wanting to take a rest on all those millions that he has racked up and will continue to rack up for his, as Busta would say, childrens' childrens' children.
Phew. I was holding my breath for this one. Not that I play the Madden games, but my mind just started swirling. Who was going to take over the business? Was his retirement a doom for the Madden gaming empire? For some reason that gave me pause, as if any of that gold mine is lacing my pockets.
Coach Inc. on Tuesday said profit fell 29 percent in the fiscal third quarter, as sales were nearly flat as the economy sputtered and the company implemented a cost-saving plan.

It is a shame that I only have 5 "genuine" designer handbags. I am planning a nice gift to myself when I am done with nursing school. I have starting searching the websites already lol.

III. Audit Scope and Procedures

This is also why you can't sort albums by Primary Artists — there may be many of them. Albums can be sorted by "Album Artist" which is a single piece of text, it may contain several artists but it is sorted as one item, by the first artist listed. The problem is that the metadata does not contain an entry for "Album Composer". So there is no obvious answer for the album listed I included above.
I have asked for an album list sorted by Primary Artist, accepting that albums would be listed multiple times. If we had that, it would work for composers as well. But many consider such a listing disconcerting.
Of course, if the request is only for an album listing instead of a work listing under a composer, that is simpler.
I am new to Roon and enjoying it and want to stick with it. I found this discussion because composer view was not showing me albums but, as another poster commented lots of allegros and adagio etc! So yes please group by albums in composers view. This is what I expected and what I get from eg Minimserver on my NAS. I want to see every album in my collection with a composer as main composer or composer of some of the tracks then you can drill down.
