What Frank Lampard Can and Can't be Blamed For….
October 20, 2020 Posted in OpinionTagged Chelsea, Lampard, Manager, Pochettino, Rumours
We're five Premier League games into the season. Two wins against Brighton and Crystal Palace, two draws against West Brom and Southampton, and a loss against Liverpool. For a team which should be comfortably making top 4 this season and challenging for the title in the next few years, this start is simply not good enough.
As always, there is pressure on the Chelsea manager, but Frank would certainly be feeling it from the media right now. After spending huge amounts of money on Havertz, Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell and Mendy, he was going to have to impress. This disappointing start has lead to many concerns over Lampard's ability to make it to the top level…. but what actually is his fault? I analyse and try to give my opinion on as many of the concerns around the gaffer….
Individual Mistakes
There's one thing which Frank Lampard can't be blamed for – and that's individual mistakes. Individual mistakes are certainly the main factor which are costing us at the moment – a silly red card from Andreas Christensen against Liverpool, Thiago Silva slipping on the ball against West Brom, Kurt Zouma failing to clear the ball as well as Kepa against Southampton, and many other mistakes which opponnents have fortunately not been able to take chance of.
These types of mistakes are made under every manager and there's not much Frank can do, although we do have to question the concentration and mentality of the players at times as the numbers of individual errors seem to be increasing heavily. Or it could be a lack of pre-season, just returning from international break, too many signings in one window – who knows, but the players need to sort it out, because Lampard is taking the blame for them right now.
And what Lampard can't even be blamed for is that he's been playing the youngsters too much (in general), because it hasn't been them which has been costing us the games. Reece James, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham – I'm struggling to remember the last time they made a clear cut mistake in the Premier League which has cost us points. In fact, it's been the more experienced ones – Silva is one of the best centre-halfs of all time and has already made a clear mistake, as well as Zouma and Christensen who have incredible experience in big games and Kepa who is the most expensive goalkeeper of all time.
A bad error from Silva against West Brom… (Image Source: Getty Images)
However, although he can't be blamed for playing the younger lads, his lineup selections and in game management certainly can be questioned at times:
Lineup Selections
This is something which Lampard definitely needs to be questioned on a lot more in my opinion, especially as with someone like Mason Mount, it's the midfielder getting the blame and abuse on social media rather than Lampard: I've seen multiple tweets of people admitting to hating on Mount because Frank overplays him and instead of Hudson-Odoi on the wing….that makes zero sense.
Last season Mount was one of those players which split the fanbase, but was starting to get on their good side after impressing in the latter stages of the season with some great performances against Aston Villa, Norwich, Wolves on the final day and many more. Yet unfortunately, Mason became a victim of his own success, as Lampard relied on him so much meaning he got tired in some games and simply could not play to his highest level on a consistent basis. The thing is as well, Mount is by far my favourite player at the club, and even though it's brilliant to see him play week in week out, I'm not sure if that's really best for Chelsea at the moment.
Lampard and Mason Mount….like Father and Son (Image Source: Getty Images)
But, I do get it from Lampard. Frank absolutely adores Mount's work ethic in training sessions and after all he is the second most fit player in the squad after N'Golo Kante, so he definitely can be played a lot more compared to others. He's so important in the press and when he's on the ball glimpses of brilliant quality are shown throughout the game. Although the problem comes where it seems as if he's being forced into the team at a risk of himself, or at the loss of another. For example, I remember last season he suffered quite a bad injury against Valencia and had to be substituted off, but after a few injections and only a few days later he was playing against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge and it just was never going to be one of his good games. Even a few days ago, Pulisic is outstanding on the left and Mount is solid on both wings, yet it was Mason playing on the left and the American out wide on the right hand side. Sometimes tactically a switch up can work, yes, and througout the game there is a lot of switching in positions, but there is just that feeling that he's being played in one or two extra games every month.
Some other slightly questionable lineup choices include Kepa and Christensen. Personally, I do try and look from Lampard's point of view, and it does make sense. Andreas has in some games been incredible under Lampard and Frank certainly wants to credit him for these performances, but he unfortunately just lacks the consistency to play 3 good games in a row without making a mistake, and at the age of 24 these mistakes should be leaving his game very soon. Like Frank and the club, I still have a lot of faith in Christensen so I understand his involvement. But what I don't get at all is the complete exclusion of Fikayo Tomori from January onwards till now when he had a great partnership with Zouma, and has barely done anything wrong. Obviously we don't know the ins and outs of the training sessions, but I really can't see the England defender not trying his best. The club also have a lot of explaining to do after somehow managing to keep Christensen, Silva, Zouma, Tomori and Rudiger all at the club, but that's for another article.
Have a look back at the goal… what on earth is Kepa doing? (Image Source: Getty Images)
With Kepa, like I said, I get it. He wants to give him confidence and for his career not to be destroyed and known as the biggest flop in football, and he has shown signs of confidence after making two decent saves against Southampton and impressing for Spain in the international break. But sometimes Frank just needs to be ruthless and stop playing him, because against the Saints he was a huge part of the second goal conceded with Zouma, and for the final one although many keepers wouldn't have been able to save the last header, conceding a goal with 0.02xG isn't always a good look on the eye. Caballero also does have a mistake in him – but is he really worse than Kepa? No.
In-Game Management
I won't be too harsh on the coaching staff about in game management as I have clearly seen improvements over the last year, but at times for me it's still not there. Against West Brom, we were 3-0 down and he brought on Hudson-Odoi at Half-Time – great. That substitution arguably got us the point, as he was by far our best player on the pitch, scoring his second Premier League goal in a lovely move involving Kai Havertz. But when it went to 3-2, and we were steaming ahead and looking very likely to pick up the winning goal, Frank decided to go even more crazy and we basically played a 2 at the back formation, with Werner and Hudson-Odoi as fullbacks. Yup, you read that right. And although the incentive is there of trying to push as many players forwards as possible, it just meant that the complete change threw us off guard and we were unable to move the ball at the same speed as before.
Even a few days ago, as much as the excitement levels to see Hakim Ziyech play for Chelsea and come on the pitch was at its highest, I'm not sure if it was the best of substitutions to make. We were only leading by one goal and these were his first official minutes this season, and therefore was always going to be caught on the ball a few times and be lacking match fitness. For me, subbing on Hudson-Odoi who was sitting cold on the bench would have made a lot more sense, as he would've kept the ball ticking and is a lot more match fit, as well as his pace being a real option if we ever needed to lump the ball forward and play it in behind Southampton's high line.
It was great to see Hakim play…. but was it the right decision? (Image Source: Getty Images)
But, like I said in game management is something I can't critcise too much as Frank is the one with the coaching badges not me, so he knows what he's doing. I'm just trying to show what I would have done.
Using Tactics That Can't Work With This Squad…
The way we are playing, I think it's very clear that Lampard wants Declan Rice in this team, and my days he would be perfect. But, my concern is that we're playing with a style that requires someone like Rice in our team, and we simply don't have anyone similar to his specialities, so why on earth are we still doing so?
Defensively, in the midfield, I would say we are close to a shambles. Frank doesn't know his best pivot, whether that's Jorginho-Kovacic, Kovacic-Kante or Jorginho-Kante. In some games, each one works, and in some they don't, and that's where it's close to impossible for Lampard as the players don't make it any easier for him. In reality, whichever pivot we use, there is too much space between the defenders and the midfielders, and that's costing us heavily. At times it's both Jorginho and Kante pushing high up the pitch to press, things which Lampard encourages them both to do, and we are simply cut through which a few simple passes from the opposition. In transition or on the counter we get hit hard and there's a complete overload on the defenders, with no midfielders seen on the television screen.
We don't have a traditional Centre Defensive Midfielder in the squad (yet) but we keep on playing as if we do have one…. so what should Frank do? Frank has two options in my opinion – play the 4-3-3 with Kante as the deepest midfielder, or a double pivot, with a clear emphasis on the two defensive minded midfielders to sit back, especially as someone like Havertz as a 10 can drop back and link the play between the midfield and attack. Personally, against the teams who won't have much of the ball, we play the 4-3-3 with Kante as the deepest, two 8's such as Havertz and Mount either side, with Pulisic, Werner and Ziyech up top. That means we can play our best players all in one and still have some sort of shape. Against the bigger teams, where Kovacic is much more likely to play due to his ball carrying abilities, a 4-2-3-1 makes a lot more sense, BUT WITH AN EMPHASIS ON CUTTING DOWN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DEFENCE AND MIDFIELD!
This team needs Declan Rice… (Image Source: Daily Mail)
Man Management
I don't think anyone can blame his man management in the slightest. It's probably been close to perfect.
From day one, you could see it was there. Luiz was frustrated at Lampard's tactics and supposedly showed him some disrespect in training. What does Frank go and do? Sends him away from group training, and showed to the players that that attitude would not be accepted at all. A similar incident happened with Marcos Alonso a few weeks ago. Against West Brom, Alonso reportedly watched the second half after his substitution in the team bus rather than the stands, and Lampard went absolutely ballistic at him for not supporting the team, with reports saying some players had never ever seen him that angry before.
And that's the main thing. He bleeds blue, he knows what Chelsea means to the fans and he knows how much of a pleasure it is to play for this club. He's just like one of us, and that's something you're not going to find in many clubs.
Not to forget, his incredible balance between the youth and signings. Chelsea have had the best academy in England for years now, but never ever used them in the first team, with them being sent on loan multiple times and never getting that opportunity. Frank saw it differently and although due a transfer ban made his choice less difficult, he recognised the abilities of James, Abraham, Mount and Tomori and the young boys became the stars of last season and the main talking point around the club. Come one year later, we are only signing incredible players such as Havertz and Werner, compared to previous panic flops like Drinkwater, and the younger lads are still getting many opportunities. He's getting it spot on. Even Hudson-Odoi who had the chance to join Bayern Munich and isn't getting much game time under Lampard wants to stay at the club and get into Frank's plans – and that's what it's all about.
What a transfer window! (Image Source: Getty Images)
Lampard Out? Not a Single Chance!
Don't get it twisted, I'm no where near wanting Lampard to get the sack as much as I have questioned him in this article. I don't think I can and ever will be.
He needs time. We signed him because the club wanted to change their ways about doing things, and try and support their managers as much as possible. This is a long term project and something completely new to Chelsea fans, as we've seen the more ruthless side from the owner and board in recent years. But that means if the club are willing to give him time, so should you. Our new players need to adapt to the League and gel together, especially as so many arrived together at the same time. Just like the young lads, he's inexperienced too and will make mistakes along the way, but in the end the final product we should get will be exceptional, I'm sure.
And to the people who say I'm being bias due to his playing career: you're correct – I am bias to our greatest ever player in club history, and although it shouldn't get in the way of me judging him as a manager, I think it always will because he was that good for us.

Well since my dear brother moved out to New York to live it up, I've been constantly barraged with mention after mention of celebs he's seen in plays and whatnot. If it isn't Vanessa Redgrave calling him "a dear" for gushing to her about her performance in Julia, it's last night's entry – he recently attended a production of Time Stands Still starring the glorious Laura Linney (jealous.) and formerly brilliant child star Christina Ricci. Oh, and Nora Ephron happened to be in the audience.
Now, my best celebrity sighting stories would have to include my Mall of America instances (yep, it's the Broadway of the Midwest, if you will) – the Olsen twins shooting a movie about a decade ago, and the cast of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants promoting their film. Other than that, I caught Kathie Lee Gifford stomping a crosswalk outside the Hard Rock in NYC, and I once got to interview Sandra Day O'Connor for a newspaper article.
Vanessa Redgrave *spoke* to your brother. Aaaah, I would die if I was in the same room with her. Royalty she is.


I feel like every time I upload something to my stories, I'm making kale, so I figured I'd share my recipe with you guys! It's super easy, healthy and delicious!
Half of a bag of pre-washed, pre-cut kale.
STEP ONE: Slice onions and garlic. Make sure you slice the garlic and not mince – you're going to be sautéing the onions and garlic together, and minced garlic will burn.
Heat 2T of vegetable oil on low. Add in garlic and onion and sautée until onions are translucent.
Add in kale, balsamic, lemon, olive oil, and salt to taste.
Sautee on low until kale is dark green. Serve!


a simple mindset shift and new perspective?!

This podcast, by veteran marketing mavens Phoebe Mroczek and James Wedmore is a necessary and vital podcast for any aspiring or established business owner. Having two of the smartest people on one podcast is a bonus and their topics cover a wide range of business struggles that any business owner faces on a daily basis. Their straightforward, honest and non-sensical approach is grounded in interesting and relevant anecdotes that illustrate their points. They cover both how to have the right mindset as well as actionable steps necessary to insure business success. This podcast should not be missed!
James and Phoebe, I can't thank you enough for creating a podcast that puts intention and mindfulness over hard work and hustle. In a world that shouts work harder, faster, more and more...your calming voices teach that success can be achieved without burning yourself out.
Finally! A podcast that teaches what most people don't talk about when it comes to having a successful business. Each episode is like a personal coaching session packed with proven strategies that you can turn around and implement right away. Thanks for doing this show James and Phoebe!
I've been listening to James and Phoebe for a few months now and can honestly say that, as far as "mindset" advice goes, this podcast is the absolute best. There isn't another show out there that dives deep like they do, into topics that move beyond marketing and management. If your mind isn't right, your business won't be either. MYB has helped me get my mind right in SO many ways. Thank you James & Phoebe!
I only wish this podcast came out everyday...transformational mindset shifts are already happening!
You two are creating such a highly-charged thing with this podcast. Not only are you sharing invaluable information, you have a gift for connecting with your people. At least with me! I feel like you genuinely care about what you're doing and about the people you are reaching and influencing. I'm constantly running for a pen to take notes. Your content is rich and authentically you. I'm listening to all your episodes, in a row, and they just keep right on inspiring me. THANK YOU!
I cannot say enough great things about this podcast. The real reason is because it resonates so much with my style, my persona, and just, overall, me as a person. I am an introvert at my core. I know this and everyone around me knows this, but I can never find a podcast suited for someone with my mentality. Everywhere I hear: go get it, grind, don't sleep, hustle till your eyes bleed, the only way to success is to work through the pain, etc. And, don't get me wrong there are times when I needed that, but for the most part I felt like it wasn't working for me. I was working on nonsense. Like the quote by Thoreau that says: "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?" I cannot thank James and Phoebe enough for taking the time to make this podcast, speak to people like me, and give me a lot more traction on my road to success. I cannot wait for more!
Perfect Blend of Inspirational and Practical!
My new favorite podcast! James and Phoebe are talking about many of the most important aspects of running a business - that no one else is talking about! They blend of the mindset/inspirational side with actionable/practical steps beautifully and use real-life examples to bring the whole discussion out of the clouds and down to everyday, practical application. Thank you so much for creating and delivering this podcast!

Q: Intermediate Value Theorem. Why $x=s+/2$ I've read the Intermediate Value Theorem's proof and I understand everything except one line which i've been speculating how it is derived. I know this may be a silly question but it does confuse me. So I will write down the proof from the book and say which line I don't understand:
IVT:
Let $f : [a, b] → \mathbb R$ be continuous and suppose that $u$ lies between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$. Then there is
a point $c$ between $a$ and $b$ where $f(c) = u$.
PROOF: Assume that $f(a) < u < f(b)$ and let $A$ be the set
$\{x \in [a, b] : f(x) \leq u\}$.
This set is non-empty since it contains $a$ and is bounded above by $b$.
Let $s$ be its least upper bound.
The aim is to show that $f(s) = u$.
Suppose that we have $f(s) < u$.
Note that that $s \neq b$ because we know $f(b) > u$.
If we put $E = u − f(s)$
then for some $δ > 0$
$|f(x) − f(s)| < E$
as long as $|x − s| < δ$.
So in particular if $x = s + δ/2$ then $f(x) < f(s) + E = u$.
(HERE: I do not understand completely why $x=s+/2$. Is it because it satisfies the condition of $>0$ for when we substitute it in the equation
$|x-s|< $??)
This means that $s + δ/2 \in A$ contradicting the fact that $s$ is an upper
bound for $A$.
I know the proof continues but I understand the rest.

A: Yes. We want to show that $s+\delta/2\in A$, or equivalently $f(x)\le u$ when $x=s+\delta/2$. So we check that $x=s+\delta/2$ satisfies $|x-s|<\delta$, and thus $|f(x)-f(s)|<E$, which implies $f(x)\le E+f(s)=u$.

This month, Duke University and Duke University Health System employees are invited to make a gift to Duke's Doing Good in the Neighborhood employee giving campaign, which benefits local schools, nonprofits and neighborhoods.
Duke has set the goal to raise $800,000 and have 3,000 staff and faculty participate during the 2017-18 campaign year, which ends June 30, 2018.
Throughout the month of October, any employee who makes a gift will automatically be entered into prize drawings, and employees can also read impact stories about how Doing Good in the Neighborhood funding has been used in the past year.
Triangle organizations need funding to start as well as sustain their important programs. Duke employee gifts have provided hot meals to homebound seniors, farmland for Burma refugees and books for Durham Public Schools students, just to name a few ways Doing Good in the Neighborhood has made an impact.
Employees can choose to contribute to six giving categories: Community Care Fund (a competitive grant-making program), Health, Neighborhoods, Schools, United Way of the Greater Triangle, and Youth Empowerment.
There are multiple ways to give, to include setting up a payroll deduction or making a one-time credit card gift. Employees can start or increase their contribution to the campaign year-round.
Over the past eight months, April Dudash, campaign manager for Duke's annual Doing Good in the Neighborhood employee giving campaign, has visited classrooms, nonprofit offices, community gardens and recreation centers to hear nonprofits' dreams of expanding projects and trying out new ideas, as well as listening to their stories of financial need.
There are nearly 42,000 Duke employees across Duke University and Duke University Health System, but only 5 percent of the total employee population make a contribution to Doing Good in the Neighborhood. The 2016-17 campaign raised a total of $549,873, which was distributed to 56 organizations, 12 neighborhoods and nine schools in four North Carolina counties.

The epic stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata hold countless examples of exceptional Project Management.
On the festive occasion of Diwali, we thought of bringing to you some inspiring stories from these epics.
1. Choose Quality of Resources over Quantity of Resources: Pandava's chose lord Krishna to fight with them in battle, while Kourava's chose to take the huge army of Krishna to support them in battle. In spite of the support of the large army, Kourava's lost the battle, proving that Project success is not dependent on the number of resources but on the quality of the resources.
2. Make your Partners Successful: Before Sugriva could help Rama in his fight against Ravana, Rama had to make Sugriva successful against Vali. This teaches us that our partners can only make us successful, when they are first successful themselves.
3. Importance of Right Intent: Even though Rama had no army of his own, he was able to garner a large army to fight Ravana because his vision and persona were considered righteous by the team behind him. This tells us the importance of "Right Intent" in the mind of the Project Manager.
4. Power of Delegation: Rama delegated all the tasks to his team members based on their capabilities and strengths.Each of his team members were successful in executing their delegated activity and helped each other whenever it wasrequired. This enabled Rama to remain focus on strategy in place of operational activities.
5. Constant Motivation: In spite of having intelligent and powerful leaders in the team, Rama had to take time on a continuous basis to give direction and motivation to the entire team. Without motivation, the best of the leaders can underperform.
6. Learn from the enemy: After defeating Ravana, Rama still showed respect towards Ravana and requested Ravana to share his knowledge with him. Ravana obliged and shared all his knowledge with Rama. In today's world, we should respect and seek knowledge from our competitors. There are many ways we can even collaborate with our competitors.

Extra-cellular bacterial pathogens are the main cause of infections in developed countries and are often responsible for nosocomial infections. Paradoxically these bacteria are mostly commensal, and become invasive only in certain circumstances linked to the host. Among the great variety of commensal bacteria that colonize a human only a small fraction of these are responsible for systemic infections. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that some of these, once septicemic, have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Our goal is (i) the identification of the mechanisms by which a bacteria can stop being a commensal and disseminate from its normal niche ; and (ii) once it is septicemic how it can cross the blood brain barrier. To achieve these goals we intend to use two different bacterial pathogens, Neisseria meningtidis and Escherichia coli.


Subliminal Projects is pleased to present New Bohemia Signs: East on Sunset. New Bohemia Signs (NBS) is a shop in San Francisco that has employed a collective of designers, artists, and sign makers to produce exclusively hand painted and gilded signs since 1992.
For this exhibition, members of NBS spent time on the Eastern edge of Sunset Boulevard that runs through Silverlake, Echo Park and into Downtown Los Angeles. They absorbed the visual layers of the neighborhood, local businesses and street signs to gain an understanding of the personalities that work, play and define this particular area of Los Angeles.
These neighborhoods have undergone a series of facelifts over the past couple of years, resulting in an evolving demographic that continues to transform the local lifestyle and visual landscape. Remnants of the past peak out from under new establishments, often in the form of old signage or decaying buildings sprinkled amongst revived venues.
Immediate impressions of this stretch on Sunset were translated by NBS into a smart and playful exhibition of unique hand painted signs and installations. Exhibited artists include Aaron Cruse, Ken Davis, Caitlyn Galloway, Heather Hardison, Corinne Matesich, Candice Obayashi, Damon Styer, and Scott Thiessen.
The gallery store at Subliminal Projects will also feature sign-inspired objects by Rhode Island based designer Boris Bally. Bally transforms recycled street signs, weapon parts, and found material into tableware, furniture and flatware designed for everyday use. He has recently collaborated with OBEY to offer limited edition Andre icon items that will be for sale exclusively in the gallery store.
The opening reception for New Bohemia Signs: East on Sunset will take place on Friday, December 7th and the show will be on view through January 12th, 2013. Please visit www.newbohemiasigns.com and www.borisbally.com to learn more about the featured artists.
We will be closing for Holiday Break on Sunday the 23rd through Thursday the 27th. We will re-open with regular hours (noon to 6 pm) on Friday the 28th.


The Addams Family will be making their way back to theaters this fall.
The first trailer for MGM's upcoming Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan re-imagining of The Addams Family is here. Surprisingly, despite getting their start in a single-panel New Yorker cartoon, and having had two separate animated shows (one in the 70s, the other in the '90s), this is the first time that America's creepiest family has received a full-length animated feature on the big screen.
The film follows the family as they plan a family reunion while dealing with a reality-TV host, played by Allison Janney. It also stars Oscar Isaac as the voice of Gomez Addams, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley, and Chloë Grace Moretz as Wednesday.
Check out the trailer and let us know your thoughts.

Women's Lacrosse Bests Lehigh to Advance to Semifinals
The Army West Point Women's Lacrosse Team collected another major milestone for the program after claiming its first-ever Patriot League Tournament win on Sunday afternoon at Michie Stadium. The Black Knights (14-4) took care of business on their home field by defeating Lehigh (8-9), 12-9, to advance to the semifinals of the league tournament. It was a strong defensive outing for an Army squad that has now held the opposition to single-digit goals in four consecutive contests.
Seven different cadets combined to cause 10 turnovers as Lauren Bredenburg led the way with three and Jackie Brattan chipped in with a pair. What made the difference was Maddie Burns' play in between the pipes. The cow netminder had a stellar second half, allowing just three goals and totaling eight saves to prevent the Mountain Hawks from making a comeback. Offensively, Brattan paced the attack with a team-best five points on four goals and an assist. Caroline Raymond also came away with a hat trick after scoring three times. Rilee Scott, Manuela Cortes and Taylor Andrews each found the back of the net once, while Samantha Stewart tallied two scores to go along with two assists. Read more.

Q: Pairing html tags using c#? Trying to create an HTML checker using c#, but I just can't figure out how to check if two HTML tags are correctly paired . I managed to get all the relevant tags into a dictionary (the closing tags with / in front), in order as they appeared in the input. I also can check for opening tags that don't close (or vice versa).
But I can't figure out how to check if any pairs of tags are overlapping. E.g.
<title></title>
   |____________|
         |______________|

(there will be many many pairs)
TO CLARIFY, this question is about pair matching, not about everything else html, thanks!

A: If you want to match pairs of tags (non-paired tags aside), consider the following:

*

*go from left to right, enumerating all tags;

*if you see an opening tag, put in on the stack;

*if you see a closing tag, check if the corresponding opening tag is on top of the stack; if yes - pop  it, otherwise report error;

*at the end, check if the stack is empty.

Let me illustrate the idea using brackets instead of tags for simplicity. The function checks if brackets ()[]{} are properly balanced.
static bool CheckString(string s)
{
    var stack = new Stack<char>();
    foreach(char c in s)
        if("([{".Contains(c))
            stack.Push(c);
        else if(")]}".Contains(c))
        {
            if(stack.Count == 0)
                return false;
            char d = stack.Pop();
            if(d == '(' && c != ')' || d == '[' && c != ']' || d == '{' && c != '}')
                return false;
        }
    return stack.Count == 0;
}

A: You'll probably have to use something similar to a stack to achieve what you're looking for. Have the stack contain opening tags and only the top tag can be removed (so if any other opening tags have been added but not closed, you cant remove the one that is buried beneath).
Makes it easy to check if something has been closed or if its eligible to be closed. If its matching tag isnt on top of the stack, it can't be closed until you've closed the tags above it.

Q: Storing the contents of NSTextView with NSUserDefaults I have been playing around with Apple's sample code - UserDefaults - http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/UserDefaults/Introduction/Intro.html - and I haven't been able to get it working with an instance of NSTextView and by removing the record button and I was therefore wondering how to get NSUserDefaults to automatically store the contents of an NSTextView.
Thanks in advance!

A: There's no way to store it automatically. Here's a simple way to save contents by subclassing NSTextView:
@interface myTextView : NSTextView
@end

@implementation myTextView

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSString    *string = nil;
    if (userDefaults)
        string = [userDefaults objectForKey:@"Prefs"];
    if ([string length])
        [self setString:string];
}

- (void)didChangeText
{
    NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    if (userDefaults) {
        [userDefaults setObject:[self string] forKey:@"Prefs"];
    }
}

@end

Q: Why doesn't Uvicorn pick up Changes to CSS files? I'm using FastAPI and the Uvicorn server to build a website, but when I make changes to the CSS files and reload the webpage it doesn't pick up these changes.
In fact, even when I switch off the server and reload it, Uvicorn still doesn't pick up the changes to the CSS file.
Previously, the server picked up the changes fine, what's caused this to change?

A: The issue is not with Uvicorn, but with your web browser stashing 'static' files in its cache.
FastAPI uses a method that designates a directory the 'static folder'. This tells the server that the files in this directory should remain constant and don't need to be downloaded every time a webpage is loaded.
Check inside your app's main module and look for the following piece of code:
app.mount(
    "/your_static_file_web_path",
    StaticFiles(directory="your_static_directory"),
    name="your_name_for_static_app"
)

This function creates a second FastAPI app within your pre-existing one that handles all of your static files. The second argument defines your static file directory. Anything within that directory will eventually be cached by your web browser and further changes will not be loaded. This prevents your page from loading the updated CSS.
As noted in a comment above, if you want to work around this issue, you can hold shift and reload the web page - this is known as a hard refresh. A hard refresh will force your browser to re-download everything, including static files.


Huh? I stared at Wen Jiubo blankly. What was he saying? Was it possible that… he was complaining?
Was he complaining to me?
"That's why I'm absolutely starving now." Wen Jiubo lay on the table, blinking at me.
"Then go buy a lunchbox. There are lunch boxes for sale on this train, you know. I heard someone hawking them before." I told him, confused.
"Huh?" I couldn't help but raise my voice.
Did Wen Jiubo actually use the royal 'we' to refer to himself? I looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The difference between the immature child before me, and the knowledgeable exorcist always with a plan from before, was like black and white. But being able to see such a completely different side to this person, it was actually a fairly 'pleasant surprise'.
Was it because… there was no one else around right now?
"Things on trains are quite expensive." Wen Jiubo said, but also matter-of-factly accepted the box, breaking up his disposable chopsticks.
"And yet you still wanted me to buy it for you," I mumbled.
"Alright, don't be mad. Open up." Wen Jiubo's chopsticks came towards me, holding something.
I automatically opened my mouth and Wen Jiubo shoved whatever it was into my mouth. I chewed for a moment and my mouth started burning with the taste of chili.
As time went by, the boy grew up, becoming a young man. When he started school, he started coming into contact with more people and began to realize that he was different from the other boys. He never had a single friend. He was always alone and his classmates were always mocking him.
Before the boy even walked over, the other children had already run away, laughing.
After school one time, the boy finally gathered up enough courage to ask his mother.
The boy heard this and was so scared that he shivered. "No, that's not it…" he explained hurriedly.
"That is clearly your aim!" His mother raised her voice, throwing the spatula back into the wok. The loud noise scared the boy enough that his entire body shook.
"Come here! You ungrateful whelp! You're cut from exactly the same cloth your father was!" His mother reached out and grabbed the boy's ear. The boy didn't dare to resist, letting her drag him to the bedroom by the ear.
The boy lowered his head, trying to bury his head somewhere his mother couldn't see.
He didn't know if his mother wanted the best for him or not. He only knew that his mother was always highly anxious, always complaining about her life wasn't fair with anger and sadness. But that one time when he wore the long dress that his mother once wore, his mother had smiled.
It wasn't a fake or perfunctory smile. It was a smile of happiness from the heart.
In the dark, I slowly opened my eyes, blinking with slight confusion. The train was still running smoothly but at some point, the sky outside had darkened to black.
It seemed that I had fallen asleep, leaning against Wen Jiubo's shoulder. My eyes were a little wet. I raised my hand, wanting to roughly rub away the tears, but a handkerchief was passed to me instead.
Startled, I raised my head. Wen Jiubo sat in the darkness looking at me. His grey eyes seemed overly gentle in the dim light.
I took the handkerchief, rubbing away the tears. "Nothing," I mumbled.
"Ok," I answered casually and then closed my eyes again. Half-asleep, I thought I heard Wen Jiubo's sigh and his gentle strokes against my hair.
After a silent night, the train arrived at Bei Ning at 5 am in the morning. I had spent the entire night curled into a hard seat and suffered some aches upon waking up. I couldn't even stand as my legs had gone numb. Wen Jiubo seemed entirely unaffected though, still helping me carry my luggage. It made me wonder what his body was really made out of.

Q: Match optional string when random strings present between groups I am very new to python and I was having trouble with matching optional strings when can be any number of strings between the groups. Here is an example of what I am looking for:
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'

I want the word following 'brown' and if the word 'lazy' is present I want the word following it as well, i.e:
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'      --> ('fox', 'dog')
'The quick brown fox'                              --> ('fox', '')
'The quick brown fox dfjdnjcnjdn vvvv lazy mouse'  --> ('fox', 'mouse')
'The quick brown fox lazy dog'                     --> ('fox', 'dog')

Here is what I tried, but it is not working
re.findall(r'brown (\S+)(.*?)(lazy )?(\S+)?', str)

What am I doing wrong and how to fix this?

A: You could use the following to get the words you're looking for:
brown (\S+)(?:.*lazy (\S+))?

Which would give a list of tuples, with the empty string if lazy is not present.
>>> import re
>>> s = """The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
... The quick brown fox
... The quick brown fox dfjdnjcnjdn vvvv lazy mouse
... The quick brown fox lazy dog"""
>>> re.findall(r'brown (\S+)(?:.*lazy (\S+))?', s)
[('fox', 'dog'), ('fox', ''), ('fox', 'mouse'), ('fox', 'dog')]
>>>

(?: ... ) is used to make groups that won't get captured, so what's inside won't necessarily get into the tuple/list with re.findall unless it is itself within capture group(s).

A: You can use a pattern such as:
(?:brown|lazy)\s(\S+)

Below is a breakdown of what it matches:
(?:brown|lazy)  # The words 'brown' or 'lazy'
\s              # A whitespace character
(\S+)           # One or more non-whitespace characters

And here is a demonstration:
>>> import re
>>> re.findall(r'(?:brown|lazy)\s(\S+)', 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')
['fox', 'dog']
>>> re.findall(r'(?:brown|lazy)\s(\S+)', 'The quick brown fox')
['fox']
>>> re.findall(r'(?:brown|lazy)\s(\S+)', 'The quick brown fox dfjdnjcnjdn vvvv lazy mouse')
['fox', 'mouse']
>>> re.findall(r'(?:brown|lazy)\s(\S+)', 'The quick brown fox lazy dog')
['fox', 'dog']
>>>

Q: Forbidden when accessing the wordpress admin panel Here is the message which i get when Accessing the Wordpress Admin panel
after enter the user name and Passowrd:
Forbidden
i've tried every thing to get out of it like,
changing the .htaccess file and adding this piece of code
<Files wp-login.php>
    Order Deny,Allow
       Deny from all
Allow from all
</Files>

this one can'nt solve my problem too
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /wp-login.php on this server
also tried this one
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^redirect_to=http
RewriteRule ^wp-login.php http://example.com/wp-login.php? [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

what else should i missing not able to login for the previous two days.

A: This is a very common problem you are facing.  You must have change the network from which you are accessing the admin panel. This is because nowadays, the hosting providers blocks the IP address from which the WordPress sites admin panels are accessed frequently. The same thing happens here too. As such, change the network access and try again.  This should hopefully solve your problem.

Re: Experienced fish-keeper worst nightmare.
Looking @ Hank the Mbu's oldd 340 gal tank, 250 gal wld not do justice for an intelligent fish that's going to be over 2 ft long. When do you plan to upgrade his tank? As PP said, he'll very quickly outgrow that tank so hopefully your upgrade is on its way.

Re: Setting up a tank for DPs?
Def like the rescaping of ur DP's tank.
He looks like a happy little explore fish. Hehe! Cute.
Totally jelly! Looks like a DP paradise!
I managed to kill a really healthy thick bunch of water wisteria, so I'm done w/ live plants. At least my marimo balls are alive.
Sorry for your loss. They are so easy and quick to love, it's hard when we lose them. Glad to hear ur other puff is doing well.

Hm. Looks like something I see @ the Asian grocer.
Well, thanks for the update. I was thinking of getting some even tho I have a healthy breeding tank of Ramshorn. I figure it wld be a good thing to have on hand for easy feeding for a pet sitter if we go out of town for extended period.

What Are the Treatments for Bone Spurs on the Leg Bone?
By Nicki Wolf ; Updated August 14, 2017
Bone spurs, also called osteophytes, occur as bony growths along the bones, including the bones of the leg. Bone spurs may cause pain when they come in contact with nerves and bones. These growths often form in joints, like the leg joints of the hip, knee and ankle, but also commonly occur in the locations where ligaments and tendons attach to the bone. Various medications or even surgery may be recommended for treatment of bone spurs on the leg bone.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
A prescription for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also called NSAIDs, may help ease pain caused by bone spur irritation. According to Nathan Wei, M.D., decreasing inflammation in the tissue surrounding the bone spurs, including the leg joints of the knee, hip and ankle, can reduce pain. The American College of Gastroenterology warns that using NSAIDs may cause stomach ulcers or other gastrointestinal side effects
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections may reduce pain and inflammation resulting from irritation by bone spurs in the leg joints. The hips and the knees are among the most common sites of cortisone shots, reports MayoClinic.com. These injections normally consist of a corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic. Side effects may include joint infection, thinning or death of nearby bones, nerve damage and weakness or rupture of tendons.
Physicians may recommend surgery to remove bone spurs in the joints located in the leg, like the knees and hips, particularly if these spurs have caused damage associated with osteoarthritis, a degeneration condition that wears away cartilage in the joint. According to the Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine department at the University of Washington, removing bone spurs is a vital part of joint replacement surgery when treating severe osteoarthritis caused by these growths.

The Ontario government has announced proposals to strengthen consumer protection for real estate transactions and two industry bodies have been quick to commend the move.
Reacting to the announcement, the Ontario Real Estate Association welcomed the proposed Mandatory Designated Representation (MDR) model and said it would set a North American leading standard for transparency and enhance clarity of the duty of Realtors.
The Real Estate Council of Ontario also welcomed the announcement as regulator of the industry and said it was a step towards implementing stronger protection for consumers.
The full proposals are available on the Ontario government website.

Buy one, give one: Massachusetts florist gives back
When Jenn Goonan was a little girl, she remembers her grandfather growing sunflowers that, to her small size, seemed to stretch to the sky.
One of her first words was "flowie," she said, and an innate love of gardening, nature and blooms has stayed with her through marriage, kids and a career in public relations.
"There is just something about growing your own flowers, seeing it go from a tiny seed into this beautiful bloom," she said.
In her Massachusetts backyard, Goonan has spent the last several springs and summers planting a variety of flowers, perfecting her gardening and sharpening her arranging skills to make colorful bouquets. And she's gotten good at it.
"This summer I had an abundance of flowers, way too many for just myself, friends and family, and I thought, 'Maybe this is a new way to give back,' " she said.
So, she packed up her car with extra bouquets in milk bottles and small coper vases and headed to Seasons Hospice down the street. There, she left small bunches of flowers in patient rooms. The next time she had leftovers, she took flowers to Winter Valley residences, a senior community in town, where they decorated dining tables and other common spaces.
From there, a brand was born.
Through Cheers to Flowers, Goonan sells bouquets online for holidays and other special occasions. For every vase of flowers sold, one is donated to a senior.
"This is my passion business and my own little way of giving back to my community," she said. "It's been really lovely. People have sent send me really nice notes about how it has brightened their days."
In the summer months, bouquets are made with flowers Goonan grows herself in Milton. She planted 1,000 tulip bulbs this winter. For other holiday sales, like around Thanksgiving and Christmas, she uses blooms from the New England Flower Exchange in Chelsea.
No matter the source of her flowers and greenery, she said she puts time and thought into each arrangement.
"I don't want to be like a grocery store. I want to put together these really special flowers with various textures and movements," Goonan said. "Some are small blooms, some are large, some leaves are flat and smooth and others are wild. That's what I gravitate toward, things you could find in nature mature."
Goonan doesn't have flowers for sale all of the time – she still works full time in marketing and public relations – but instead releases around special occasions like Valentine's Day, Easter and Mothers Day. In the six months her business was open last year, she sold 200 arrangements and gave away as many. This year, she hopes to double that.
"Just working with the flowers relaxes me and it's an amazing creative outlet," she said. "If you really love something, you'll find the time for it. If you really manage your time and really love something, it can happen."
To see more of Goonan's flowers and find out about sales, follow her on Instagram @cheers_to_flowers.

Now a report in Times of India debunks these claims. One of the stars on the guest list spoke to the outlet and said, "I have no idea about this wedding. I certainly haven't received any invitations to the wedding. I'm pretty sure no one has received an invite. There is no marriage. It is all part of someone's imagination."
The report added, "They are not getting married soon, unless it is a secret only for the couple. If it is a secret then how do these entertainment portals know about it?

I love myself and i am impressed with the way i carry out things. I am an open book and i would keep myself engaged in doing things that makes me happy. I am people's favorite and i cheer up my friends always. I am totally a freak out kind and love to explore new things. Pretty helping in nature.
Nice character Umamahe i love it. i like open people I'm kind of. vague people make me feel uncomfortable and confused, and i dont really trust them that much.
Me? I am all right; I am okay. I am not really rich, nor extremely poor. I still survive here. I just don't like my fate. I tried to have my own business, but I always fail at every attempt. Maybe it was me or the people I tried to do business with. I am not sure the girl I like, she likes me or not. I still can't approve her heart. I just confused in my life right now.
mmmmm!!!! Confusion happens always in our lives because life is not completely White nor completely Black its a combination of both. looking for our mistakes and that what i believe is experience cuz you may be more specific about the reasons of your failure so you can cross them out and change them for better outcome.
I think I'm good the way I am. I think I'm responsible, friendly, helpful, trustworthy and mature. I know I have my downsides as well, but I'm okay with that. It took me some time to get that feeling, honestly, but I'm quite happy now. I hope the rest of you feel the same way about yourselves, because you're the closest person you'll have in your life and if you can love yourself, you can love others better as well.
yeah you are totally right. but accepting the downsides ohh i have to say that i dont really accept them actually i always try to substitute them.!
