Freudian Excuse/Live Action TV
< Freudian Excuse
In Merlin, Uther is given one of these for all the atrocities he's committed in trying to wipe out magic. His excuse: He hates and fears magic because Nimueh cast a spell, at Uther's request, to give him a child. He asked her to do this even though he knew that in order to give life by magic, a life must be taken. Uther's wife died and Arthur was born.
Alan A'Dale gives one of these to BBC's Robin Hood when Robin finds out about Alan being The Mole.
Alan: That's easy for you to say though, isn't it? Yeah? You get the glory, you get the girl, everyone loves you. Then when the King comes back, you'll have lands, property, a wife - everything. What will I have? You're always in the sun, Robin and I'm always in the shade.
Robin: Is that meant to be an excuse?
Dexter: Dexter himself as well as several supporting characters.
Then again, it is pretty traumatic that it may cause insanity. His mother was dismembered with a chainsaw in front of his eyes and then he and his older brother (Who went just as insane) were left to soak in their mother's blood (which filled the entire floor of the container and went up an inch) for days in a hot shipping container.
In the books, Cody and Astor Bennett, Dexter's step-children, were horrifically abused by their father early in their lives. They're growing into a serial killer tag-team, and Dexter has taken it upon himself to teach them the Harry Code in order to channel their murderous impulses into "something productive", just like Dexter's adoptive father did for him.
Every single Alpha Bitch will usually have one of these, sometimes it's revelation causing them to change their ways, sometimes not.
Libby on Sabrina the Teenage Witch: In the Chained Heat episode, Sabrina learns Libby's mother is a distracted snob who doesn't pay any attention to her.
There are exceptions. Madison Sinclair from Veronica Mars had great parents, and was still a horrible person.
Not just an exception, an outright inversion, being a (double) example of In the Blood. Avoiding spoiler tags, Madison is exactly who her parents raised her to be... for the correct values of those nouns and pronouns.
In NCIS, Ari Haswari tells Gibbs his reason for being a Complete Monster is that his father impregnated his mother, raised him badly, and killed his mother just so he could have a mole in Hamas. He gets shot straight after, by his own sister, in what ends up being her Freudian Excuse for having severe trust issues - which really isn't so much an excuse as a valid reason.
ICarly: Sam Puckett, despite not being the Alpha Bitch (she's more like The Dragon for Carly, who could with some Alternate Character Interpretation be seen as the Alpha Bitch at her school), has several of these: Her mother is horribly ignorant and a terrible parent who pays little attention to her. Her father ran away and never came back. Her family as a whole are hardened criminals.
In Girl Talk, the only sympathetic character in Stacey The Great's clique was shown to be The Unfavorite of her mother, who doted on the girl's other sister to the point of forgetting the very important ice skating even despite being reminded about it six times.
In the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock, Tess' almost-instantaneous Heel Face Turn comes as a result of her mother taking a cell phone call during her performance at Final Jam. To Tess' credit, she owns up to being a bitch despite the fact that the girls she's bullied don't actually show her any sympathy or even bring this up, making the application of this surprisingly somewhat less of a Broken Aesop than the previous examples.
Lost: The extent of the pain Ben's father heaped on him isn't quite clear yet, but we do know that he was horrifically verbally abusive. To whit (this is on tenth or so birthday):
"It's hard to celebrate the day you killed your mother."
Sawyer is a perhaps more artful execution of Freudian Excuse. That his father killed his mother, then himself, in front of young James stirs our sympathy. However, it was used more to explain his self-loathing after becoming a con man like the one who destroyed his family.
Lost is full of characters with Freudian Excuse backstories...who, amazingly, become if anything more badass afterwards.
As of Recon, even the damned SMOKE MONSTER is claiming a Freudian Excuse. And in "Across the Sea", it's pretty well confirmed.
Given a variation with Locke who was middle aged when he met his truly monstrous parents who used him and discarded him like trash. A rare case of a hero having a freudian excuse for his behaviour (In Locke's case, his desperate need to stay on the island and serve a purpose).
Veronica Mars does this with several characters:
Logan isn't exactly a villain, but he does have a home life worthy of one: his famous father sleeps around and is physically abusive, his mother commits suicide, and his sister is an emotionally void, aspiring (and failing) actress whose primary motivation in life is to improve her career without working at all.
For that matter, Logan's father--a murderer himself--claims that it was his father's abuse which made him who he is.
Even more blatantly, Cassidy Casablancas is a psychotic mass-murdering teenager due largely to the physical and emotional abuse of his father and older brother.
I thought it was because he was raped by his Little League coach.
More along the lines of he was scared about what Big Dick and Little Dick would do to him if they found out. Or found out he liked it. In this case, it's arguable he killed a bunch of people to stop his Freudian Excuse from getting worse.
The show also has a Lampshade Hanging. In the first-season episode "Drinking the Kool-Aid," a boy joins a cult, and his rich parents ask Mr. Mars why he'd go when he was provided for. Mr. Mars says that it's often rich kids who leave, and the boy's father sighs (paraphrasing): "Yes, I know what you're thinking. Spoiled rich kid, no material need denied, no spiritual need fulfilled. That's not us."
Subverted by Meg, whose parents are crazy fundies, but is still a very nice person.
In the same episodes where we find out about Meg's parents, Sheriff Lamb also indicates his dad abused him, and combines it with a Pet the Dog moment.
Degrassi Junior High is fond of this. To take just some examples:
Kathleen becomes a bigger Jerkass every episode. Eventually we see that she has an alcoholic mother and chronically absent father. She remains a Jerkass for the rest of the show, although she does change in the sequel series Degrassi High.
Stephanie (Alpha Bitch) has an overprotective, very conservative mother, which makes Stephanie want to be the glamorous, all-powerful vixen at school.
Joey, the Ted Baxter, has clueless, weak parents.
Liz, a Snark Knight who is eternally negative and repeatedly harassed (but indirectly, via vandalism) a girl who had an abortion, was almost aborted at the insistence of her father against her mother's will. We later learn she was sexually abused for approximately 4 or 5 years before she came to the series by her mother's then-boyfriend.
There are decent parents on the show, but they are all subject to strict Parent Ex Machina. (This was a conscious decision by the show's creators, who wanted parents to appear as little as possible.)
Degrassi: The Next Generation uses the Freudian Excuse almost as much:
Liberty, the resident Control Freak, has pushy parents who had impossibly high expectations for her, and no expectations at all for her pesky little brother.
Alex started as an utterly evil gang member, until she was revealed to have no father and a drunken mother who was beaten by her revolving door of boyfriends. Alex eventually went through Badass Decay, but unusually, that wasn't until many episodes later. In the episode where we learn about her parents, it's just an excuse she uses to beat Rick up.
Every other perp on Law and Order Special Victims Unit, which never holds back on the Lampshade Hanging:
Dr. Huang: What did your mother do to you?
Serial Killer: Please... with you people, it's always the mother.
Detective Tutuola: I don't want to hear how you didn't do it, it wasn't you, you were abused as a child.
Female Serial Killer: I was raped, more times than I can remember...
Detective Benson: Right, and your mother died, and your dad beat ya.
Naturally this shows up in Law and Order: Criminal Intent, most famously with Goren's ex-FBI profiler mentor 's daughter who, having washed out of the FBI several times decided the next best thing was to become one of his subjects. The constant "shop talk" at home and using dad's torture tapes to test potential boyfriends right before making out also had something to do with it... Another example is Stephen Colbert's master forger who was doing his best to discredit a soon-to-be canonized priest because his mom used the guy's charity to literally steal his childhood.
The Slitheen from Doctor Who, in particular Margaret Blaine. Also, the Master, as "The Sound of Drums" has revealed that at the age of eight, as part of a Time Lord initiation ceremony, he looked into the Time Vortex, which drove him insane. Of course, that episode also revealed that every other Time Lord saw the same vortex, and he was still the only one we know who went supervillainy as a result. "The End of Time" reveals that the root of his villainy is more complicated than just the Time Vortex.
The Doctor Who Expanded Universe audio drama Master, which predated the new series, gives another origin for the Master's evils that may or may not have affected his Vortex Madness[1]: In his youth, the Doctor was visited by Death, who wanted to make him her disciple. The Doctor avoided her by directing her to the Master, turning him into Death's Champion. He regretted this decision since.
Subverted by Arnold Rimmer in Red Dwarf; he has numerous elements in his back-story that could be used to excuse his actions as an adult - his mother and father despised him, his brothers and schoolmates relentlessly bullied him to the point of homicidal sadism, no one liked and encouraged him and he eventually died a horrible death as a useless, unfulfilled failure - but whilst these elements are sometimes used to promote sympathy for him, they are never used to justify his snide, cowardly and hypocritical actions or utter stupidity and incompetence, much as he would like them to. Despite his constant whining about the subject, no one excuses him because of it, and in fact it's clear to everyone around him that he himself merely uses his past as an excuse not to deal with his failings, even those that can't be brushed away so easily.
Further subverted in Back To Earth: when confronted with The Creator, his reaction is not to blame him for his own character flaws, but to be pissed at the crappy childhood and life he's had.
Not to mention his alternate-universe double, Ace Rimmer (what a guy!), a brave hero that causes women (and a good few men) to crush on him simply by being himself, had an equally poor childhood and is only different in that he was held back a year, letting him realise that life wasn't fair and he had to work with what he had.
Losing his Freudian Excuse actually appears to be one of Rimmer's greatest fears, as demonstrated in Back to Reality, in which he believes his lack of success can be blamed on his negligent parents, only to discover that Lister (believed to be his half-brother at this point) shared his upbringing -- implied to be much better here -- and became a rich, successful and famous member of the government. The realization that, in this reality, he no longer had this crutch to fall back upon was enough to drive him to attempted suicide. Which is strange because his brothers already also shared his horrible upbringing and they went on to be successful (at least until a deleted scene in season 6 implied they all had mental breakdowns in the middle of missions resulting in large body counts).
Rimmer's brothers shared his parents, yes, but Rimmer's brothers are also consistently shown to be among his most abusive tormentors in the rest of the series, doing things like burying him alive in their sandpit with only his face showing and smearing his face with jam for the ants, and tying him upside down from a tree and abandoning him. Because he doesn't have any memory of Lister having engaged in similar cruelty in that reality, it's possible that that was a contributing factor, along with the realization that in that reality, he was even more of a failure than he was in the game, and he'd also missed several opportunities to be awesomely badass in the game. He doesn't remember who he is, he shares an upbringing he doesn't remember with a man who's greater and more successful than him, and he's wasted four years of his life playing a video game in which he was playing the wrong version of Rimmer the entire time. Being told that not only is everything you thought you were a lie, but a lie many times over is quite a good reason for suicide. It is also worth noting that his reason for suicide was the most complex of the four, as befits his status as easily the most complex character on the show -- Cat was no longer cool, Kryten took a single human life, and Lister believed himself to be a fundamentally evil man responsible for genocide, but Rimmer has a multilayered reason for suicide.
In the episode "Inquisitor", Rimmer successfully uses this Freudian Excuse to justify his pathetic and worthless life and avoid being completely erased from history. "Yes, I admit I'm nothing. But from what I started with, nothing is up."
The pilot of Medium does go unusually far back in the cycle of abuse, thanks to Allison's ability to talk to ghosts. When questioning an imprisoned pedophile, she's accompanied by the spirit of the man who molested him as a child, and the spirit of the man who molested him as a child, and the spirit of the man who in turn molested him as a child, and so on.
In Smallville Lionel Luthor's refusal to show his son any affection, or leave his sense of self-worth intact is a major part of Lex's slide into villainy. However, as the show frequently points out, people are defined, not by what happened to them, but by the choices they make. Emotional abuse left Lex damaged, but he still could have pulled back. Lionel is himself the product of abuse, having received severe physical abuse as the hands of his own father, Lachlan. Both cases end with the son ultimately murdering the father.
Father Issues were also a reason some of the Freaks of the Week turned bad when most other teenagers just would've been like "Wicked cool, I got super powers!" In particular, the kid from "Leech."
A Villain of the Week devoted his life into killing meteor freaks because one of them killed his father.
Of course, it's been implied (if not outright stated) since then that the Kryptonite may actually be conducive to violent behavior.
Parodied and subverted in an episode of Scrubs where Jordan declared several times that "My parents were mean to me" when she was bugged for the hateful things she did, and eventually admitted that they were actually very nice and supportive.
But played straighter with Dr. Cox's family, as his father was a violent, abusive alcoholic while he mother just didn't do anything to stop his father.
Later subverted again with the manipulative intern Katie who justifies her actions to Carla with "My dad died when I was a baby, and my mother was a heavy drinker. I've had to do everything myself my entire life." Carla's response? "Awww...HEARD IT! Me? Dead mom. JD? Dead dad. Elliot? Emotionally abusive parents. Dr Cox? Emotionally and physically abusive dead parents who he may have killed. No ones really sure."
Though it should be noted that Carla and J.D. lost Their supportive parents when They were well into adulthood, giving Them little claim to this trope.
Lindsey Weir on Freaks and Geeks can't stand obnoxious Kim Kelly, until she is invited over to her house for dinner and sees how awful Kim's family life is.
Supernatural's Bela was sexually abused by her father and this gave her the motivation to make her Deal with the Devil. But as she tried to make the boys' life a misery instead of going to them for help like she should have done (which she realises now), she gets torn apart by the hellhounds instead of being redeemed. Which has the oddly powerful effect of making viewers who hated her before feel sorry for her instead.
Subverted in that when Dean finds out about the deal and calls her on it, she just smirks and says that her parents were nice, loving people, and she killed them anyway. Evidently, Bela wasn't one for sympathy.
This made for a particularly intense piece of characterization in an episode of Criminal Minds. The profilers bust the murderer of the week through their understanding of his crappy childhood, and Agent Hotchner, while interviewing him, says that with an intensely violent, abusive childhood like that, it's not surprising that some people grow up to be killers. As they're dragging him away, the murderer asks what Hotch, meant, that some people grow up to be killers. In his crazy-intense voice, (CSI's Horatio Caine without the sunglasses) Hotchner replies that some people grow up to catch them.
A slightly humourous example comes from an episode where Hotch and Reid go to interview a serial killer, Chester, on death row. After a series of events that leave them locked in the room with the killer, Reid saves them both by profiling the shit out of him for thirteen straight minutes, linking all of his violence back to his childhood and saying that Chester "never really had a chance" to be anything but. Cue chuckles when Chester asks if it's true that he never had a chance to escape his sociopathic tendencies, and Reid replies with an offhand, "I dunno, maybe," as he flees the room. It kind of speaks to his genius, that he's able to cook up an elaborate Freudian Excuse in seconds, spiel it for thirteen minutes, and then carelessly discard it.
A massive number of killers in the show have terrible childhoods. Often, it's used to explain not just why they kill but why they kill in that particular fashion. One of the major themes of the show is the question of how evil arises, so it's only natural that this trope would come into play a lot. Some of the most extreme:
Tobias Hankel was raised by an abusive religious fanatic who went as far as to burn a cross into his forehead with a red-hot poker.
Samantha Malcolm was sexually abused by her father, who then gave her repeated electric shocks to shut her up about it.
Darrin Call was raised by his abusive father, who was a serial killer himself and who would make him help bury the bodies of his victims.
Sticking with the serial killers and criminal profilers - it's regularly used and (occasionally) subverted in Cracker (and I guess probably its US remake as Fitz - I gather 'cracker' has another meaning on that side of the Atlantic...). It's a show about what makes people do terrible things, so it regularly delved into Freudian Excuse territory.
Parodied in Blackadder, in which Blackadder discovers and exploits a super-villain's Freudian excuse with deadly accuracy:
Blackadder:Just one thing, Ludwig - were you bullied at school?
Ludwig: [Tense] What do you mean?
Blackadder: Well, all this ranting and raving about power. There must be some reason for it.
Ludwig: Nonsense, no - at my school, having dirty hair and spots was a sign of maturity.
Blackadder: I thought so. And I bet your mother made you wear shorts right up till your final year.
Ludwig: [Losing it] Shut up! Shut up! When I am King of England, no one will ever call me 'shorty greasy spot-spot' again! [Storms out]
Blackadder: Think we touched a nerve there.
Spoofed in the episode of Frasier, "Fool Me Once, Shame on You, Fool Me Twice...":
Frasier: Let me guess. Daddy didn't love me, Mommy didn't pay attention to me, the bully next door took my toys.
Nathan Lane: No, no, you got it all backwards. Dad loved me. Mom spoiled me. I was the bully next door.
Discussed in Everybody Loves Raymond where we learn that Deadpan Snarker Frank was indeed beaten by his father. What's interesting however is that they actually do go into depth about how his father being beaten as a child too, and i believe even his father as well... Ray and Robert both were surprised by this fact; because although Frank isn't exactly an 'ideal' father himself, he never actually hit them.
Stephen Colbert's Freudian Excuses are frequently hinted at, and were made explicit during the "Superegomaniac" segment celebrating Freud's 150th birthday.
Stephen: Yeah, maybe a library shelf fell on me when I was three, but that's not why I hate books.
Bullet Point: It's Why He Burns Books
His book, I Am America and So Can You, is pretty explicit about most of his Freudian excuses.
Although they're not villains, it's clear that at least three of Murphy Brown's characters' traits come as a direct result of lousy parental relationships:
Murphy's competitive nature stems from her relationship with her father. In a flashback, we see him tell her point-blank that her B+ paper "should've been an A". On top of that, he worked constantly, and as such it was often very difficult for her to get his full attention. On top of THAT, Murphy reveals in one episode that her father wanted a boy. And as if all of that wasn't enough, her parents had a messy divorce plagued by frequent verbal battles which still continued whenever they encountered each other in the present.
Frank's constant need to validate himself stems from his parents, who never really hear the words that come out of his mouth. He's also one of seven children, so he constantly felt lost in the shuffle when he was young.
Jim's stuffy exterior can be attributed to his father, who told him that real men don't show their emotions. He was 10 years old at the time.
Scorpius of Farscape was revealed to have been engineered and brutally raised by the Scarrans, spawning an intense hatred of that species for his treatment as well as for the rape and death of his Sebacean mother. For this reason, he's prepared to do just about anything he can to take revenge - including the acts committed against John Crichton. However when Scorpius actually brings up these details close to the end of the third season, he does so not to make Crichton pity him, but to try and convince him that the Scarrans must be stopped before any more innocent people suffer - and given their actions in the fourth season, he's not exactly incorrect.
Parodied in 3rd Rock from the Sun -- when Sally decides to have a childhood and takes up a child's ballet class, Dick doesn't come to her performance. Harry and Tommy congratulate her on experiencing the neglect and rejection of a normal childhood, and Harry informs her that "if you ever flip out and kill a guy, you can blame it on Dick".
This was lampshaded in Buffy the Vampire Slayer when a psychotic vampire captured and tortured Buffy's mother and complained to her about his mother "stealing his self respect", before adding "I have mother issues. I'm aware of that."
He also indicates his mother may have castrated him.
Don't forget Faith, who's said to be who Buffy would be if she was never loved.
Spike's mother tried to rape him after he murdered her.
There's also the idea of how utterly disgusted he is with Angelus, a large part of the reason for their hatred seems to stem from attempts to make Spike just as much of a Complete Monster as he is.
Also played with in Angel.
Angel's father wasn't a bad man, not abusive, just stern. The two had a difficult relationship, and he was the last of the family that Angelus killed on being turned. Darla told Angelus that now he'd never be able to beat his father.
Wesley also has a difficult relationship with his father. He just can't seem to live up to the man's expectations.
In the first season, the team deals with a telekinetic girl who was molested by her father. Neither crazy nor evil, she does have issues.
Lindsey, one of the lawyer's from Wolfram & Hart starts a Hannibal Lecture about how he grew up poor, but in interrupted by Angel.
Subverted by House. While House's Daddy Issues make up a large part who he is, only one person knows about the real abuse (the ice baths and being made to sleep outside) and even that had to be dragged out of him.
This was one of his Pet the Dog moments too. He was trying to offer comfort to a rape victim. He was the first to figure out she'd been raped, and maybe this was because he'd been abused (Though not sexually as far as we know) in the past.
He also called that the teenage supermodel in "Skin Deep" had been raped by her father.
Is it really being raped if she gets him drunk first and is all part of her plan to get him to let her do whatever she wants?
Certainly, if we're talking about law...
Lampshaded by Amber in a Season 4 episode. "Why are you afraid to lose?" "Mommy didn't love me! Daddy expected too much of me! ...Something! What is it you want me to say?"
Ironically, Hugh Laurie actually does have parent issues because he felt they disliked him and expected too much from him; his father Ran in particular was a distinguished medical doctor (how's that for irony) and an Olympic rower who won gold in the 1948 Coxless Pairs. They also apparently disapproved of his wife. Read and see enough interviews with him and his low self-esteem issues become fairly obvious. This has not, on the other hand, stopped Laurie from being described as a "panda" by everyone who knows him.
Sylar from Heroes. His father's even played by John Glover, who played Lionel Luthor in Smallville.
While it isn't depicted in the show itself, Malcolm McDowell has speculated that his character, Mr. Linderman, must have had "quite an unhappy childhood" to take his plans so far.
This is confirmed in Volume 4, where flashbacks show that he was placed in an internment camp simply because he has powers, and given his deduction on what the camp actually was, its likely that he may have spent time in the German Concentration Camps when he was younger.
Monk's mother was very uptight and neurotic, which is probably part of why he is. To overcome OCD, it's necessary to resist the compulsions, so Monk being raised by the kind of person who encourages excessive order may have allowed the condition to develop a stranglehold on him in a way it otherwise wouldn't.
The fact that his wife was killed in a Car Bomb also made his OCD condition grow even worse, suffering a total relapse that caused him to resign from the Police Force, and apparently nearly drown himself.
Law and Order: Mike Logan's temper is attributed to the beatings he received as a kid from his alcoholic mother. Lennie Briscoe's meth-addicted daughter blames all her problems on her former alcoholic dad's absence during her childhood.
On Mash, it's made pretty clear that a big part of the reason why Frank Burns is such a Jerkass is that his entire childhood was miserable, complete with heaping helpings of ParentalAbuse (both physically and mentally).
Inverted completely in Superhjaltejul; no villain were traumatized in their childhood by jerks, they were traumatized by jerky children in adulthood.
In Beverly Hills, 90210, Valerie is given a succession of increasingly horrifying Freudian Excuses. First, her father committed suicide. Then, it is revealed that she was the one who found him in a pool of blood. Later, we learn that her father had been raping her since she was 11 years old. And for the grand finale, she was the one who murdered him.
The spin-off, 90210, has Liam starting off as bad... so bad he's almost 'evil'. Then it's explained he had a jackass step-father. Dylan from the original series (mum's a hippie, dad's in jail) also works, and for some extent most flaws on most characters (Kelly's mum's a drunk, Steve's adopted, Gina grew up poor, David's the son of a serial cheater and a schizo...).
In Battlestar Galactica Reimagined the constant physical abuse Kara suffered at the hands of her mother, coupled with her father's abandonment of her, goes a long way towards explaining why she's so dysfunctional as an adult.
More noteworthy is Cavil. The entire genocide of the colonies was brought about because he thought his parents loved humans more than him.
Wings: Joe blames his mother abandoning him as a child for him growing up to be a tightass. In another episode Brian discovers the letters he wrote to Captain Kangaroo that he wrote when they were kids and that Joe was supposed to send and then expounds an elaborate theory about how believing he had been ignored by his hero eventually led to all his failures in life as an adult. Joe is skeptical.
Played with in Star Trek: The Next Generation, in an episode where it's invoked, dismissed, and averted all in the span of a moment when Data is held captive by a collector.
Data: You are a fine debator sir. It is a pity you have used your verbal skills for mere hucksterism and the advancement of your own greed.
Fajo: (sullen) Perhaps... Perhaps you would not judge me so harshly if you knew of my desperate youth. Wasted, wasted, on the streets of Zimbala.
Data: Your past does not excuse unethical or immoral behavior, sir.
Fajo: (suddenly chipper) Eh, doesn't matter, isn't true anyway. My father was quite wealthy, actually. He was a thief.
Averted in The X-Files episode, "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose". The FBI is tracking a serial killer with a penchant for purported psychics. It turns out the killer was actually trying to discover the Freudian Excuse behind his violent tendencies and killed the psychics when they failed to divine a satisfactory answer. Ultimately, he crosses paths with the titular Mr. Bruckman who is genuinely clairvoyant and we get the following exchange:
Killer: So there's something I've been wanting to ask you for some time now. You've seen the things I do in the past as well as in the future.
Clyde Bruckman: They're terrible things.
Killer: I know they are. So, tell me, please, why have I done them?
Clyde Bruckman: Don't you understand yet, son? Don't you get it?
(The killer shakes his head and shrugs.)
Clyde Bruckman:: You do the things you do because you're a homicidal maniac.
(The killer thinks about it for a moment and smiles.)
Killer: That... that does explain a lot, doesn't it? It's all starting to make sense now.
It's suggested T-Bag is only a pedophile because he had been sexually abused by his father.
Lampshaded in The Electric Company Spider-Man clips segments, where the villain always has some pathetic excuse, like the little rich girl who didn't get a pony for her birthday...
Played for Laughs on Get Smart. After Max captures Sigfried, he asks him why he chose to be evil. Sigfried says it's because his mother never got him a sled for Christmas.
Sigfried: Why, Smart? Why?
Max: I don't know Sigfried.
Sigfried: Do you think it was because we lived in Florida.
Max gives an Eye Take as the episode fades to the credits.
In Terra Nova Lucas Taylor is working with a group of Corrupt Corporate Executives to make the portal go both ways so that they can destroy Terra Nova and rape the alternate past earth where the colony is located. Why? Because he wants to get back at his father for failing to save his mother in Somalia when he was a kid.
Jill Taylor in Home Improvement grew up with an opinionated father and a passive-aggressive mother who yelled at or scolded her and her sisters for any mistakes. As an adult, Jill became afraid to admit when she was wrong, leading her to blame her mistakes on Tim or their chaotic home life. She gets better about it later on, though.
Her sister Linda suffered for it as well, it's implied her past overeating and crazy behavior were a result of their upbringing.
The Pattersons were also a military family who moved around a lot. This may account for her sister Carrie becoming a globetrotting photographer who rarely stays in her own apartment (she lived in it for years without ever unpacking).
On Roseanne, the titular character and her sister Jackie grew up with an abusive father and a passive mother who just let it happen. Such abuse led to Roseanne developing serious anger, control, and trust issues (she didn't even trust Dan during the beginning of their marriage). Jackie, who idolized their father and tried to blind herself to his abuse, ended up a neurotic woman who couldn't hold down a stable relationship and slept around with a lot of different men. She even wound up dating a domestic abuser and tried to defend him, much to Roseanne's shock and disgust.
In the Elementary episode "The Deductionist", a serial killer bloodily escapes from prison with a motive that turns out to be built around a profiler having mis-profiled his personal history and motivations -- something that ruined a family he'd already devastated by being a serial killer. That said, there's no line where he insists he's just the way he is, and his original spree was built around "blonde women of a certain height" for reasons which are not elaborated on.

Fifty Foot Hose

Fifty Foot Hose is an American underground rock band that formed in San Francisco in the late 1960s,[2] and reformed in the 1990s. They were one of the first bands to fuse rock and experimental music. Like a few other acts of the time (most notably The United States of America), they consciously tried to combine the contemporary sounds of rock with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional ideas.[citation needed]
Underground rock[1]
1967–1970, 1995–present
Limelight, Mercury, Big Beat, Weasel Disc
1 1960s – original group
2 1990s – reformation
1960s – original groupEdit
The original group comprised three core members: founder and bassist Louis "Cork" Marcheschi, guitarist David Blossom, and vocalist Nancy Blossom, augmented by Kim Kimsey (drums) and Larry Evans (guitar).[2]
Cork Marcheschi (born 1945) grew up in Burlingame, California. In his teens, he performed with the Ethix,[2] who played R&B music in clubs around San Francisco and in Las Vegas, and released one experimental and wildly atonal single, "Bad Trip", in 1967, with the intention that the record could be played at any speed. Interested in the ideas of experimental composers like Edgard Varèse, John Cage, Terry Riley, and George Antheil, he constructed his own custom-made electronic instrument from a combination of elements like theremins, fuzzboxes, a cardboard tube, and a speaker from a World War II bomber.
David and Nancy Blossom brought both psychedelic and jazz influences to the band. Together, the trio recorded a demo which led to a deal with Limelight Records, a subsidiary of Mercury Records. They released one album, Cauldron, in December 1967.[2] It contained eleven songs, including "Fantasy", "Red the Sign Post" and "God Bless the Child", a cover of a Billie Holiday number.[2] It was an intriguing mix of jazzy psychedelic rock tunes with fierce and advanced electronic sound effects.[2] "I don't know if they are immature or premature", said critic Ralph J. Gleason.[citation needed]
The record sold few copies at the time, although the group had a small but intense following in San Francisco and also toured with other acts including Blue Cheer, Chuck Berry and Fairport Convention, when the band was augmented by Robert Goldbeck (bass). They broke up in late 1969, when most of its members joined the musical Hair, Nancy Blossom becoming the lead in the San Francisco production and later singing in Godspell. Larry Evans returned to his hometown of Muncie, Indiana, where he fronted several club groups until his death in 2008.
1990s – reformationEdit
Interest in Fifty Foot Hose resurfaced in the 1990s, as they became recognized as precursors to the electronic rock sounds of groups like Pere Ubu, Chrome and Throbbing Gristle, and Cauldron was reissued on CD. By this time, Marcheschi had become a respected sculptor, specializing in public work using neon, plastic, and kinetic characteristics.
In 1995, Marcheschi reformed the group for live performances in San Francisco, with a new set of musicians. These performances led to the release of the album Live & Unreleased, which was followed in 1997 by a new studio album, Sing Like Scaffold. On the latter album, Fifty Foot Hose essentially comprised Marcheschi (on echolette, twin audio generators, squeaky stick, white noise generator, theremin, spark gap, and saw blades), Walter Funk III (jokers Ulysses and Cupid constructed by Fred 'Spaceman' Long, Bug (Tom Nunn), vocoder, Hologlyphic Funkaliser, and other electronix), Reid Johnston (guitube, guitar, tools, horns, harmonium, hardware, bikewheel), Lenny Bove (bass, electronics, vocals), Elizabeth Perry (vocals), and Dean Cook (drums).[citation needed]
Funk and Johnston subsequently formed the avant-garde electronic band Kwisp, the first of whose two albums also featured Marcheschi.
In 2006, Marcheschi, Funk, Johnston, and Konstantine Baranov (producer of Sing Like Scaffold), known as CWRK Musical Environments, installed a public sound installation in an atrium in Hong Kong.

The man in the hat won't be back on the big screen until at least 2021. Though the as-yet-untitled fifth Indiana Jones movie had been slated for a July 2020 release date, it has been pushed back a full year to 2021, according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter.
The reason for the delay has been attributed to issues with the script. This aligns with the recent reports that Solo co-writer Jonathan Kasdan had been hired to take over the script from David Koepp, though it's unclear if this was a total re-write or just a simple punch-up of the material.

Though Disney first announced a fifth Indiana Jones movie way back in 2015, the project hasn't moved out of the planning stages since then. Things didn't really start to take shape until the beginning of the year, when Steven Spielberg announced he wanted to helm Indie's fifth outing as a director, with Harrison Ford reprising his other signature role. Filming was set to begin in 2019, and would be followed by a 2020 release date.
While details about the movie are scarce, Koepp had previously stated the initial script didn't feature Shia LaBeouf's Mutt Williams. That's unlikely to change with any re-writes, given that LaBeouf seemingly burned his bridges with Spielberg in the wake of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
It's also (almost) certain that this will be the first Indiana Jones installment that won't have any input from George Lucas, who co-created the franchise with Spielberg in 1981's Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
At the very least, we can probably count on the fact that this fifth Indiana Jones outing won't involve any aliens from outer space. So, there's that.

Q: Definite integration involving square root function How to integrate this definite integral:
$$\int_{0}^{\pi/2}  \big(\sqrt{\cos x}+ \sqrt{\cot x}\,\big)\,\mathrm dx$$

A: Using the properties of Euler's Beta function and the residue theorem we have:
$$\begin{eqnarray*} \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{\cos x}\,dx &=& \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{\sin{x}}\,dx = \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\sqrt{t}}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\,dt =\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}u^{-1/4}(1-u)^{-1/2}\\&=&\frac{1}{2}B(3/4,1/2)=\color{red}{\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\,\Gamma^2\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)}\tag{1}\end{eqnarray*}$$
and:
$$\begin{eqnarray*}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{\cot x}\,dx=\int_{0}^{+\infty}\frac{\sqrt{t}}{1+t^2}\,dt = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\frac{u^2}{1+u^4}\,du = \color{blue}{\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{2}}},\tag{2}\end{eqnarray*}$$
so:

$$ I = \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\left(\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\cot x}\right)\,dx = \color{blue}{\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{2}}}+\color{red}{\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\,\Gamma^2\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)}.\tag{3}$$

A: We have
$$\operatorname{B}(x,y) =2\int_0^{\pi/2}(\sin\theta)^{2x-1}(\cos\theta)^{2y-1}\,\mathrm{d}\theta,\qquad \mathrm{Re}(x)>0,\ \mathrm{Re}(y)>0$$
where $\operatorname{B}(x,y)$ is the beta function. Hence
\begin{align}
\int_{0}^{\pi/2}  \big(\sqrt{\cos x}+ \sqrt{\cot x}\,\big)\,\mathrm dx&=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}  \left(\sqrt{\cos x}+ \sqrt{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}\,\right)\,\mathrm dx\\[7pt]
&=\frac{1}{2}\left[\operatorname{B}\left(\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{4}\right)+\operatorname{B}\left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4}\right)\right]\\[7pt]

Why can Diego Costa play for Spain? FIFA's eligibility rules explained
Written By Ryan Kelly
Getty/Goal composite https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/41/65/diego-costa-spain-and-brazil_1algkueonicda1w5xrpgd5i22f.jpg?t=-1620926559&w=500&quality=80
The World Cup is just four months away and 32 national teams will soon converge upon Russia to take part in the biggest sports event on the planet.
In recent times, the allure of playing on the grandest stage in football has led to some footballers suddenly declaring their allegiance to another country and it seems to have become more common. One of the highest profile examples in the past few years was Diego Costa, who swapped Brazil for Spain, but he is by no means alone.
Some other examples include Nabil Bentaleb, who declared for Algeria after playing for France at youth level and Nacer Chadli, who now plays for Belgium despite featuring for Morocco.
Many of those incidents occurred ahead of major tournaments and inevitably sparked discussions over the eligibility rules for national teams, which have been tweaked on a number of occasions over the years.
The rules themselves can sometimes seem impossibly complicated and difficult to understand, but fear not, Goal will have a go at breaking it down.
1. Why footballers can represent more than one national team
2. What are the limits?
3. Why can Diego Costa play for Spain?
4. British 'Home Nations
5. The Irish situation
Why can footballers represent more than one national team?
Before we begin, a more detailed explainer of the eligibility rules can be found here. Are you ready? Here we go...
Basically, in order to be eligible to play for a national team, a footballer must possess the nationality of the country he or she wishes to play for.
Generally speaking this restricts them to a single team. So, a German national can only play for Germany, a French national can only play for France and so on.
However, football does not exist in a vacuum and its participants are a reflection of the world in all its variety. That means that footballers themselves are not necessarily monolithic. They may possess more than one nationality and thus qualify to play for more than one team.
For example, an individual could have the right to a number of nationalities based on where they are born, their ancestry, or they could earn the right to a new nationality via residency.
In some cases, a single nationality can allow a player to play for a number of different teams. The United Kingdom, for example, does not compete in football as a single entity. Uniquely, it has four teams (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) known colloquially as the 'Home Nations'. In order to play for any of those teams, one requires British nationality.
As mentioned though, there are limits put in place to ensure that the landscape of international football is not cynically exploited.
Still here? Stick with us...
What are the limits to switching national team?
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/87/d7/segio-ramos-diego-costaspain-macedonia-110617_18oda4q1nn8z31tjfohkzptpg6.jpg?t=-1731508500&w=500&quality=80
So, we've established that nationality primarily governs what national team a footballer can play for, but what if they have multiple nationalities or their singular nationality allows them to play for more than one team?
The current rules allow players who fit that description to play for one team and then switch national team if they so desire, but they can do so only once.
Players who have: more than one nationality; acquired a new nationality; or are eligible to represent more than one association due to a single nationality can make the change.
If a player has played at any level from U-17 up to U-21 for one team, they are free to make a switch to another team for which they are eligible as long as they meet the criteria laid out in FIFA's statutes.
Crucially, however, they cannot change teams if they have already played a senior competitive game. Appearances in senior friendly games are not enough to bar a player from making a switch.
After a switch has been made official a player cannot switch back to their original association if they have a change of heart.
Administrators from a number of associations and confederations have queried some of the current limitations, such as the competitive cap precluding a change of team.
Indeed, late last year, Reuters reported that FIFA would 'look into' changing the rules to make them less restrictive. However, it remains to be seen if there will be any changes.
So why can Diego Costa play for Spain?
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/goal_es/45/da/diego-costa-phil-jones-spain-england-friendly-13112015_1tz032p06ixen1ovi4a9skdxpv.png?t=42351553&w=500&quality=80
We get that all of the above can be quite confusing, but, basically, Costa is allowed to play for Spain on account of his Spanish nationality, which he gained through residence.
While he was born in Brazil, he was also eligible to play for Spain having gained citizenship in July 2013 and the fact that he had been a resident there for five years satisfied FIFA's rules.
Costa had played two friendly games for Brazil in 2013 - against Italy and Russia - but, as mentioned, senior friendly games do not bar a player from making a change of national team.
Had he played a senior competitive game, such as a World Cup qualifier or a Copa America match, he would have been irrevocably tied to Brazil.
It is an incredibly emotive topic, with many people holding their national identity dear, and Costa's decision to play for Spain instead of his native Brazil prompted uproar - it was seen as an act of treachery.
The change of national team occurred in the lead up to the 2014 World Cup, which was being staged in Brazil, a detail that only served to exacerbate the ire of Brazil fans.
Costa is not alone, of course. There are plenty of examples of players who have worked within FIFA's rules in order to change national team.
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta took a similar path to the striker, playing for Brazil in friendlies before switching to Italy in 2011.
Unlike Costa though, Motta's Italian nationality was based on his ancestry rather than residence, but both are valid when it comes to national team eligibility.
Can British footballers play for any of the 'Home Nations'?
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/71/1/kyle-walker-england-kieran-tierney-scotland_1j9627qyxf62l1cmyk0m83e2ii.jpg?t=847005574&w=500&quality=80
Not exactly. British footballers don't have a carte blanche when it comes to which national team they can play for - they, like every other player, must satisfy FIFA's rules.
British nationality is a prerequisite for footballers who wish to play for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat and Turks & Caicos Islands.
Because British nationality covers so many nations, FIFA has designed the rules so that a player must satisfy certain conditions before becoming eligible to play for a national team.
In short, a player must be born on the territory of the association he or she wishes to play for. They can also qualify through what is commonly known as 'the Granny Rule' - if their biological mother or father, or either grandparent was born on that territory.
The 'Home Nations' have come to an agreement to remove the other criterion, which takes into account a two-year period of residence in the territory of a national team.
There are other nationalities that cover multiple national teams, including American, Chinese, Danish, French, Dutch and New Zealander.
What about the Irish situation?
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/ee/aa/james-mcclean-republic-of-ireland_1nitxbzb4frsh127hzzk9nar35.jpg?t=-1831315369&w=500&quality=80
There are a number of unique situations around the world where political realities have led to confusion and anger regarding FIFA's eligibility rules.
One such example relates to footballers who are born in Northern Ireland, which is one of the four 'Home Nations' teams.
With some exceptions, individuals born in Northern Ireland tend to have a birthright to both British and Irish citizenship.
This means that many footballers from the region can play for the representative teams of Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. In practice this has seen some individuals play for Northern Ireland before switching to the Republic of Ireland and vice versa.
Former Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson is an example of a Northern Ireland-born player opting to play for the Republic of Ireland.
The issue came to a head in 2010 when the IFA (Northern Ireland) took the FAI (Republic of Ireland) and FIFA to the Court of Arbitration of Sport.
The IFA sought to end the practice of Northern Ireland-born players with no territorial connection to the Republic of Ireland from playing for their teams.
However, the IFA's objection and case was founded on an erroneous reading of the rules and was unsuccessful.


Ben Pol is a daddy before he is a celebrity.
Back in 2014, he sired a child with the very affable Miss Tanzania 2013, Latifa Mohamed.
In a past Interview with Bongo 5, the beauty queen said dating Ben Pol was the "longest relationship he had ever had".
Ben Pol has said, however, his relationship with Latifa has not been quite formal because he has not gone to introduce himself to her parents.
However, months after meeting Anerlisa Muigai in 2018, Ben Pol's parents met in Nairobi in a very hush-hush ceremony in January.
There is word that the two could be tying the knot soon.
Anyhow, Latifa who has a child with Ben Pol told Tanzanian blogger, Mo Faze, how it was like dating Ben Pol. (Psssssst, Anerlisa, please take notes).

Q: WatchKit App won't compile: "error: WatchKit Extension doesn't contain any WatchKit apps" on only 1 of 2 machines I have an issue that has come up before however in this situation I have two development machines and the code build and runs on one machine but not on the other.
I have a MBP and a Mac Pro, the code is in git and once I have built on one machine and committed and pushed to git when the code is fetched on the other machine I receive the error message WatchKit App won't compile: "error: WatchKit Extension doesn't contain any WatchKit apps".
I have checked bundle identifiers and they all look correct which makes sense as it builds on one machine.
I also downloaded a sample app from Xamarin.com, the WatchTables demo.  The bundle identifiers are correct but I am receiving the same build error with that solution.
Any thoughts, I have checked the version of Mono and other frameworks on both machines, Xcode and VSfM are the same version and up to date.  Any ideas would be helpful.

A: After downloading additional updates on the machine that was failing when I went to install and restart an error occurred and VSfM would no longer start.  So I reinstalled VSfM again, this allowed it to start and I was able to apply the updates.
Once I started the IDE again I was then able to build the solutions.
I would seem that something had become corrupt with VSfM and until the failure of the updates broke the IDE this wasn't getting sorted.
All is good now.

Ви́свалдис Ламс (; 22 июля 1923, Рига — 28 августа 1992, там же) — латышский советский писатель.

Биография
Сын портового рабочего. С 1942 сам стал рабочим. В 1943 был мобилизован в Латышский добровольческий легион СС. Попал в плен. После освобождения из фильтрационного лагеря в 1946 году работал каменщиком, маляром, слесарем. Самоучка. Благодаря самосовершенствованию, приобрёл немалые знания в истории, философии и языках.

Похоронен на кладбище Райниса в Риге.

Творчество
Дебютировал, как прозаик в 1953 году с рассказов «Ceļā» («Звезда») в журнале «Zvaigzne». Печатался до 1967 — под псевдонимом Висвалдис Эглонс.

Автор ряда социально-психологических романов, рассказов и повестей о жизни рабочих 1930-х годов в буржуазной Латвии (Nemierā dunošā pilsēta, 1957), в период немецкой оккупации (Kāvu blāzmā, 1958) и в послевоенный период (Visaugstākais amats, 1968).

В своих последующих работах, в том числе «Jokdaris un lelle» (1972) и «Trase» (1972), отобразил философские рефлексии о месте человека в истории.

Его роман «Kāvu blāzmā», который в котором автор описывает судьбу юноши — латвийского легионера в конце Второй мировой войны, был жёстко раскритикован и в течение длительного времени имел проблемы с публикацией.

Романы «Гремящий город» («Nemierā dunošā pilsēta», 1957) и «Северное сияние» («Kāvu blāzmā», 1958) — о молодом рабочем в буржуазной Латвии и во время фашистской оккупации — сюжетно связаны. Жизнь рабочих остается в центре внимания писателя и позднее: романы «Вьется дым» («Kāpj dūmu stabi», 1960), «Самая высокая должность» («Visaugstākais amats», 1968, рус. пер. 1976), «Плоды жизни» («Mūža guvums», 1974). Анализируя судьбы героев, автор ставит вопрос о смысле жизни, об ответственности человека перед обществом (роман «Часы раздумья» — «Sērsnu stundas», 1973). Опубликовал книги повестей и рассказов «Дорога в жизнь» («Ceļš pa dzīvi», 1956), «Капля источника» («Vienu avota lāsi», 1971) и др.

Milwaukee Brewers 2019-2020 offseason preview
Time to reload.
By Kyle Lesniewski@Kyle_Lesniewski Oct 31, 2019, 1:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Milwaukee Brewers 2019-2020 offseason preview
Congratulations are due to the Washington Nationals, who last night completed an improbable postseason run that included wins in five potential elimination games on their way to the first World Series victory in franchise history (including back to the Montreal years). Maybe for some, the fact that our Milwaukee Brewers were ousted by the team that eventually hoisted the trophy softens the blow of a late Wild Card game loss. Either way, the time has officially come to turn our attention over to the offseason.
This looks like it will be a pivotal winter for our beloved local nine. Mark Attanasio and his ownership group invested heavily in the team last year with a club-record payroll highlighted by offseason signings of Yasmani Grandal and Mike Moustakas. That spending paid off in the form of a second consecutive postseason berth, though another scorching September run was needed in order to secure the National League's second Wild Card slot. The team largely underperformed for the first five months of the season before that, besieged by injury and attrition from several key players all over the roster.
Now, many of the leading men from that late-season streak are set to depart for the open market. David Stearns' two most significant trade deadline acquisitions — starter Jordan Lyles and reliever Drew Pomeranz — will hit free agency after arguably the most dominant stretches of their respective careers. There have already been rumors about interest in retaining Lyles. Left-hander Gio Gonzalez and righty Jay Jackson are also scheduled to become free agents after playing large roles during the pennant race. So too is Matt Albers, but loss that is less consequential as he nears the sunset of his career.
Last winter's splashes were both agreed to one-year pacts with mutual options, and the duo of Moose and Grandal are expected to head back into the open waters of free agency. Slingin' Stearns also has some thinking to regarding about the futures of Chase Anderson and Eric Thames, who both have club options for 2020. Manny Pina's team option looks like a near-lock to be exercised. Now that the Fall Classic has ended, the front office has the next five days to exclusively negotiate with their eligible free agents as well as decide what they want to do about the players with contract options. Unrestricted free agency will begin next week.
As the offseason continues, more decisions will have to be made. November 20th brings the deadline for Rule 5 Draft protection, which usually spurs a flurry of waiver-wire action. Milwaukee has a handful of notable prospects that they'll have to consider adding to the 40-man roster, including Zack Brown, Lucas Erceg, Corey Ray, Braden Webb, and recent trade acquisition JP Feyereisen. After that comes the deadline to decide whether or not to offer contract to arbitration-eligible players or non-tender them on December 2nd, and that typically floods the market with a second round of free agents. The Brewers had sixteen arbitration-eligible players under club control when the regular season concluded, but have already granted veteran utilityman Hernan Perez free agency after he was outrighted to the minors. Non-tender candidates among the remaining 15 arb-eligibles include: Travis Shaw, Jimmy Nelson, Orlando Arcia, Alex Claudio, Cory Spangenberg, Tyler Austin, and Tyler Saladino.
As things stand now, payroll for 2020 initally projects to land somewhere in the vicinity of $105-$110 mil assuming that Stearns and his brain trust decide to bring back all the arbitration-eligible players, exercise the available club options, and retain the players already under guaranteed contracts. Using last year's record-setting Opening Day payroll of ~$123 mil (per Cot's Contract) as the ceiling, that doesn't leave a ton of room for supplementary moves. And while the foundation of the roster includes Christian Yelich, Josh Hader, and Brandon Woodruff, there are more questions than answers about the supporting cast around them.
Should Chase Anderson indeed return, the starting rotation reads like this:
Adrian Houser
Zach Davies
Brent Suter, Jake Faria, and Junior Guerra have all seen success as starters during their careers and could be considered rotational depth, but all of them have more recently pitched out of the bullpen. Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes are total mysteries after disastrous seasons in 2019, and their respective futures might be as relievers, as well. Top pitching prospects Brown and Trey Supak both floundered in Triple-A. This is almost certainly a spot on the roster where multiple additions (of varying degrees of impact) will be required.
Things aren't quite as desperate in the bullpen, which is anchored by two-time reigning Senior Circuit Reliever of the Year Josh Hader. Former closer Corey Knebel figures to return from Tommy John surgery at some point next year. Unsung Hero Junior Guerra can be retained via arbitration, as can lefty-hander Alex Claudio. Deolis Guerra was re-signed to a big league contract and will factor into the relief corps for 2020, and Suter could settle into a middle relief role after dominating as a fireman in September. Fastball Freddy, too, saw a dramatic increase in velocity and showed quite of promise at times as a reliever.
Having a Most Valuable Player award winner — and potentially the back-to-back one, to boot — in the lineup is always a good place to start, and Christian Yelich figures to play the main protagonist on offense again in 2020. Rookie sensation Keston Hiura also looks like he could be a long-term hitting star at the keystone, though he needs to shore things up on defense. Eric Thames might need to be brought back out of necessity to man the cold corner, and he could form a right/left tandem over there with Ryan Braun. The soon-to-be 36 year old is now a part-time player who requires regular rest, and though he is no longer a perennial MVP candidate, he remains a potent bat even as he ages. Speaking of veterans getting long in the tooth, Lorenzo Cain endured his worst season at the plate since 2013 and will be 34 next year. Some stats suggest that he suffered from terrible luck, though, so there is optimism that he can bounce back to some degree. And he still provides elite defense in center field, hoping to capture that elusive first Gold Glove award this winter.
The possible losses of Moustakas in the infield and Grandal behind the dish would leave the offense with some gaping holes, however. Who knows if Travis Shaw will be able to recover from his hideous performance that led to multiple sentences to the minor leagues. In fact, the whole left side of the infield might be up in the air after Stearns and Craig Counsell both admitted that better production is needed from the shortstop position going forward. Since debuting in 2015, Orlando Arcia has been valued as below replacement-level by Fangraphs in three of his four big league seasons and he is the worst hitter in franchise history according to wRC+ (minimum 1,500 plate appearances). Though talented on defense, he's been prone to lapses in concentration and hasn't graded out as the premium gloveman that he was advertised to be. Even if he is retained, moving Arcia to a utility role or at least bringing in someone to legitimately compete with him for playing time at the six should be something that the front office strongly considers. At catcher, Manny Pina can provide stellar defense along with a roughly average bat for the position, but that would still be a major drop-off from Grandal, who set a new club record for home runs by a backstop.
If Stearns hopes to truly maximize the Christian Yelich window before the superstar can leave via free agency in three years, he will have to develop a way to strategically reload his club with talent this winter. There is shoring up that needs to be done all over the roster in ways both big and small, and unfortunately, Milwaukee's top baseball executive is apparently lacking in both financial flexibility and prospect capital with which to make an impactful trade (Milwaukee has only one top-100 prospect, A-ball shortstop Brice Turang). He'll need to keep in mind, too, that rule changes like the three-batter minimum, 26-man active rosters, and the 28-player limit when rosters expand. The 2019-2020 offseason may prove to be the greatest challenge that President Stearns has faced to this point in his tenure in the Cream City, testing just how creative he can get when it comes to building a winning roster.

Marg Foster's Coaching Philosophies | #NWC19
Netball, Coaching, Coach, Philosophy, Philosophies, World, Cup
Over the Netball World Cup, we revealed winning Silver Ferns specialist coach, Marg Foster's coaching philosophies.
With a wealth of experience and as part of New Zealand's World Cup winning coaching team, Marg's philosophies reveals the best ways to overcome the pressures involved with being a netball. Discover everything from creating your own culture to promoting player ownership and how you can get them focussed to be the best netballer they can be.
Week 1 - Show Players No Limits
The first philosophy that Marg bases her coaching on is the belief that there are no limits and she challenges her players to prove this. To get them into the mindset of achieving what they want, Marg says that you need to have a real good connection with them and you need to relate well to get them believing that there are no limits.
"Show players there are no limits and challenge them to improve"
Keep your eyes peeled for next week's coaching philosophy and continue to build up your coaching toolkit by learning from the best!
Week 2 - Up Skill Your Players
After talking about how we should not be setting limits for out players, Marg Fosters next coaching philosophy is all about up-skilling our athletes. Marg believes that the best way to continuously improve is firstly to know your stuff and stay one step ahead of your athletes, but most importantly it is to get a strong connection and really relate to them to be able to move them.
"There's no wrong or right way to coach, it's about relating to athletes and being able to move them"
Keep your eyes peeled for next week's coaching philosophy which looks at creating a team culture.
Week 3 - Creating a Culture
Last week, Marg told us how to up-skill players to encourage continual improvement. The next part of her philosophy is to create an environment within which athletes can progress. She tells us how building relationships from the outset is key to creating a healthy culture in which athletes are not afraid to express themselves.
"The key is to make sure you've got really good relationship building from the start"
Keep your eyes peeled for week 4 of #FostersPhilosophies which promotes player ownership with team environments.
Week 4 - Promote Player Ownership
Last week, Marg showed us the importance of creating a culture where everyone is comfortable to express themselves. Her next coaching philosophy is to promote player ownership and distribute responsibility around the team. It's crucial that players take ownership as you can only do so much, once on the court, it's down to them to take the game plan and execute effectively.
"You help them with the structure but they're the ones that are driving the game plan"
Keep your eyes peeled for week 5 of #FostersPhilosophies which encourages coaches to be innovative in their sessions.
Week 5 - Be Innovative
Marg's last coaching philosophy explained how we need to give players ownership of the game plan to execute effectively. The next coaching philosophy encourages coaches to be innovative with their session planning. When you're coming up against issues, think outside of the box and be imaginative with new ways to overcome them - Marg explains how she's used a blueberry pie as well as an old t-shirt for new incentives for her players.
"Ensure they're loving it and coming to you for the time you've got them"
Week 6 - Promote a Love for the Game
Marg's most important coaching philosophy is to promote a love for the game. As a coach, the biggest mark of success isn't how many trophies you win, it's about the impact netball has on your players and what they contribute to the game after they move on from your coaching. Give them a strong work ethic and create better human beings in the process.
"The measure of your success is if they are still contributing to netball after leaving you"
Watch out for the final installment of #FostersPhilosophies in a bumper edition where Marg tells us about coaching coaches... you WILL get some top tips to transform your coaching!
Week 7 - Be The Best Coach You can Be
The world cup final is all about celebrating the best the a netball team can be - for the final installment of #FosterPhilosophies, Marg encourages you to the best you can be. Discover how to create your own culture, how to get players focussed and manage what she pens 'mental baggage' before crossing the line onto the court.
"Process the mental baggage so when ready to be that superstar netballer, step across the line"


This 'piece' grew out of my interest in the internal workings of concertinas and the thoughts that knowing a bit more about who used what action may help to identify a concertina with no label. The pdf below is available for downloading it contains an appendix (i) which has photos of all the actions that I have located. There is also a sort of table detailing both the earliest and latest serial numbers of which I am currently aware. My hope is that anyone who can add to this information will contact me with information/photos which I will then incorporate into revisions.
Many thanks to the people who helped with comments, suggestions and information.
Special thanks to Neil Wayne who gave me access to his current collection of concertinas and photos.

A special report on the diminishing prospects for achieving and end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and an end to the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
Conceding with the U.S. President Barak Obama's visit to the region and to the occupied Palestine, the report focusses on the silenced Palestinian narrative of the occupation and the Palestinian's role as a more than willing partner to in the efforts towards a just peace and achievement of rights.
The ARIJ report tackles the erroneousness scarecrows that have been by the collapsing Israeli governments concerning the geopolitical violations committed by Israel in occupied Palestine in contradiction to international law's and international key stakeholders well. The Status-Quo of basic human rights violations and the endangers looming around the Palestinian people well to achieve a state that cops with international human development and civilization.


What is a financial ratio?
It's the quantitative relation between two selected numerical values taken from a company's financial statements. Many standard ratios are utilised to assess the financial condition of a firm; these ratios can be used by managers, current and potential shareholders and a firm's creditors to gain insight into the company's performance.
Where have you heard about financial ratios?
Analysis of financial ratios is widely undertaken by analysts, commentators and credit rating agencies whenever a company posts results or plans a merger or acquisition. Here, for example, S&P Global Ratings considers the impact of a proposed acquisition on ONGC's financial ratios.
What you need to know about financial ratios.
Financial ratios are especially illuminating because they enable comparisons between companies, industries and different time periods.


It's time for the biennial showcase in Princeton of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture's latest research and extension work - work that is not only conducted on its western Kentucky research station, but throughout the entire college. This year's event is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. CDT Thursday, July 23 at the UK Research and Education Center in Princeton .
Tours and exhibits will highlight research in ornamental and vegetable crops , beef, forage, equine matters , grain crops, tobacco , orchards, vineyards and small fruits. The event isn't just about livestock and crops, however. The whole family is invited, and event organizers promise there will be much to interest all age groups. Organizers expect approximately 2,000 people to attend. After a brief welcome ceremony at 8 a.m., guests may participate in tours and demonstrations and view exhibits.
"To me personally, it's an opportunity for us and this sector to have people from Lexington and other states and surrounds all in one place, share all the many things that are being done and to hopefully make certain that people are aware that the College of Agriculture is about more than traditional agriculture," said Winston Dunwell, UK extension horticulture specialist and field day chairman. "It's about animal science. It's about viticulture and energy from biomass. It's about family and consumers. It's about the fight against obesity. There's an exhibit on ovarian cancer, so it's a very broad sector that should have something for every single person in every single household in Kentucky. They should be able to garner a lot from this and learn something new that's important to their lives."
This year's field day will feature 11 production-related tours focusing on beef cattle, tobacco, forages, weed management in grain crops, fertility management in grain crops, vegetable crops, ornamental crops, grain crops management, and an orchard, vineyard and small fruits tour. This year, for the first time, there will also be an equine tour. An overview tour will give participants insight into the research extension programs at the Research and Education Center. All tours last approximately one hour and 15 minutes and run continuously throughout the day.
More than 60 exhibitors from the UK College of Agriculture, agricultural associations and organizations will be on hand.
With youth and family and consumer sciences activities also at the field day, the program has something for everyone.
Four family and consumer sciences events will take place throughout the day: Fruits and Vegetable Taste Testing, Coupons 101; Power Bars - Is It a Snack or a Meal; and Greening Your Environment with Vinegar and Other Natural Products.
"What I like about the family and consumer sciences part of Field Day is that it really is family appropriate and focuses on great information from some of extension's statewide programs," said Melanie Bealmear, Union County extension agent for family and consumer sciences and field day committee member. "We've got an exhibit for Second Sunday, which is an annual statewide event that encourages people to get out and enjoy physical activity. We've got something on the ovarian cancer screenings. We've got canning and preserving food, which is something that people are getting back into, with the economy the way it is. It's a good sampling of the breadth of the work family and consumer sciences agents are doing around the state."
There will be plenty of things for young people of all ages to do, as well. 4H Youth development agents and leaders will conduct hands-on activities, demonstrations and information displays, including sessions on GPS; horticulture identification; "Oooie Things;" Raptors, conducted by Raptor Rescue; herding dog demonstrations; identifying reptiles; horse lab kits; Clowning Around and physical fitness. Youth are also welcome to join the adults on the farm tours.
"This is a big year for Kentucky 4-H, as it's our centennial," said Wade Raymer, Webster County extension 4H Youth development agent and youth activities coordinator. "This will be a great way for people to become familiar with and celebrate the history of 4-H in the state."
Participants may earn certified crop adviser continuing education credits. Lunches will be available for purchase from Kentucky agriculture commodity associations.
The UK Research and Education Center is on Kentucky 91 South, 1.5 miles southeast of the Caldwell County Courthouse in Princeton. For more information, contact a county office of the UK Cooperative Extension Service or visit the UKREC Web site, http://ces.ca.uky.edu/wkrec/.


Gosheim, 14 November 2017 – The favourable business progress of the Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG has continued during the third quarter of 2017. Thus the Group turnover of the Swabian machine tool manufacturer increased in the first nine months of 2017 by 2.5 % to €280.6 million compared with the same period last year (previous year: €273.8 million), despite increasing export restrictions. The company's domestic volume rose by 4.8% to €118.8 million (previous year: €113.4 million) and international sales rose by 0.9% to €161.8 million (previous year: €160.4 million). The results, too, were slightly above the level of the previous year at the end of September.
The Hermle Group' incoming orders increased by 13.0% to €314.6 million (previous year: €278.3 million) during the first three quarters of 2017. The increased growth was equally distributed between the domestic and foreign business areas: It amounted to €130.5 million (previous year: €114.4 million) in Germany and €184.1 million (previous year: €163.9 million) from abroad. At €127.8 million, the Group volume of orders on the target date of 30 September 2017 was roughly the same as in the previous year (€127.7 million).
The currently stable economic climate and automation solutions such as the HS flex handling system all contributed to the propitious order situation. In addition, there is currently very good demand for Hermle's latest innovation, the C 650 machining centre,which was presented at the EMO metalworking trade fair in September. This machining centre extends Hermle's Performance Line up-wards and enables the company to reach additional customer sectors. This means that the company now has three machine models in this series for economical 3-axis and 5-axis machining.
Hermle increased investment in immaterial assets and fixed assets across the Group during the first nine months of 2017 to around €13 million (previous year: €9 million). The bulk of this can be accounted for by two major projects aimed at securing future progress in the region. At the newly developed Zimmern location close to company headquarters, series production of machine beds commenced as planned in the third quarter. The extension of the chipping production facilities at the Gosheim headquarters will be completed in the fourth quarter with the installation of a large machining centre.
At the end of September 2017, the Hermle Group employed 1067 people, 46 more than at the end of 2016 (previous year: 1021). Almost half of this number involved recruitment for the new location in Zimmern. Also, apprentices who had completed their training were adopted into the regular workforce while the training places that they vacated were refilled, and additional service technicians were recruited, especially abroad.
