Find the right Contract Drafting attorney in Topeka, KS
In Kansas, when two parties come to a mutually understood agreement that they intend to have legal force, a contract is formed. There are both written and oral contracts, since all that is required is that the parties agree and understand each other. The reliability of written contracts usually make them the preferred means for businesses to transact. Since the intent of a contract is to be legally effective, they are best formed by those who understand the law.
Negotiating a Contract in Topeka
Negotiating the specific terms of a contract is crucial. There are several terms that should be included in every Topeka contract to ensure that the agreement protects the interests of the parties. Stating intentions clearly in the early stages of negotiations can lead to a contract that includes clearer terms. To conclude, the contracts that are easiest to enforce have clauses that determine how to handle disputes.
Using a Form Contract
If an agreement needs a good starting point, you may want to consider a form contract. An attorney in Topeka,Kansas can add or remove clauses according to the intent of the parties, and even the specific language can be made more comprehensible so that expectations are clear. However, form contracts can pose problems if they need to be interpreted by courts, especially if they are used without the help of an attorney. First, a party using a form contract may not have thoroughly read all the terms, and can thereby remain unaware of his performance obligations and liabilities if events do not go as planned. Second, form contracts often contain language that is specific to the field of law, and using forms without an understanding of this language can cause future disagreements over a contract's meaning. Attorneys can help ensure that a written contract matches the intent of the parties, whether negotiating a contract or using a form. Kansas contract law is a field in which many Topeka attorneys have specialized.

Q: Changing name of keymap in Indicator Applet On my Ubuntu machine, I have two keymaps (US Dvorak and US QWERTY). Is there a way to change what they show up as in the Indicator Applet's layout switcher? e.g. DVK/QWR instead of USA/USA2
amit ron-

A: Check this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3507927

I finally found the solution. Edit the file /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml . Around line 3164 (in my standard installation) replace all ocurances of USA with Eng. Voila, the keyboard indicator switches from Eng to Deu to Chi, the languages I use. No more USA!

A: Admittedly, this is a hack.
I use the flags option in gconf-editor.  The flags merely represent each keyboard layout as the two letter designation rather than national flag images.  Currently, doing this causes all USA layouts to be represented with an image that has the letters "US".
I worked around this by using the Canadian keyboard layout as my Qwerty layout and USA-Dvorak as my Dvorak layout.  I then renamed the "US" icon ca.svg and created a new "DV" icon and named it us.svg.  The indicator now shows the proper layout.
The only problem I see is that when hovering, the tool-tip says "Canada English" when set to "US"

The Miami FC USL
The Miami FC, down to 10 men for 80 minutes, battles to victory over Loudoun United
By Lee Ifans on Monday, May 3, 2021

The Miami FC got their 2021 campaign off to a winning start Sunday evening at Riccardo Silva Stadium, grinding out a 2-1 win after playing much of the game with ten men.
Keen to put the disappointment of 2020 to bed, Paul Dalglish and new assistant Jed Davies have clearly been putting in work in preseason to ensure their new-look roster was ready to perform from the whistle. The game started very well for the orange and blue. It was immediately obvious that the importance of being organized and disciplined has been drilled into the players. Ariel Martinez, wearing the captain's armband, led the line with Christiano François and Pierre da Silva playing either side of him. There was a solid bank of three in the midfield: Speedy Williams, Bolu Akinyode and Lance Rozeboom. Then the trademark flat back four with the fullbacks given license to attack. Connor Sparrow starting in goal.
It is fair to say last season that Miami FC were sometimes slow to start games. There was no danger of that this time round. Central defender Paco Gigi Craig headed home the first goal with authority after a brilliant free kick from Martinez. A second came almost immediately. Da Silva battling for possession in the opponent's penalty area and forcing a mistake led to an own goal. Just seven minutes into the game and a two-goal lead.
Then the entire match was turned on its head when defender János Löbe received a red card and his marching orders. In the moment it felt like the referee made the right decision. There was contact, however minimal, and with no one covering Löbe was the last man. The ref was left with little choice: If it was a foul it was also a red for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
Dalglish didn't rush a decision to shore up the defense, moving Bolu Akinyode from midfield to left back to cover and give himself some time to think tactically. He sent for experienced Italian defender Luca Antonelli. In what must have been a tough decision, but almost certainly the right one, Martinez was replaced. Ariel was obviously disappointed to be withdrawn, but with a two-goal lead and one assist on the board already, protecting the lead was the priority.
The Miami FC positives
Despite the rest of the game being a defensive masterclass from the home team, which in itself was very encouraging, there were still some positives to take away. Gigi Craig will take a lot of credit for his goal and confident defensive performance. Connor Sparrow had a busy night and survived a tough examination. He might not have gotten the shutout, but without his eight saves this game would have ended in a draw or worse. Akinyode looks like a great addition. Assured on the ball and versatile. Williams looked right at home, even though he had to do a lot of tracking and pressing.
Ramon Martin Del Campo partnered Gigi in the center of defense. The Mexican made an impression by not only keeping Loudoun at bay, but also constantly talking and organizing. Teams need these kinds of vocal leaders at the back. Ramon likes to talk and that's a good thing for the players around him.
When fans return to Riccardo Silva Stadium, Antonelli should easily become a favorite. He is here because he still enjoys playing soccer. His quality was evident in every touch. When he was subbed off with ten minutes to go he was insistent that he could see out the game. He wanted to finish the job and that's great to see. He was loudly cheering his teammates from the sidelines right to the final whistle.
Loudoun did grab a consolation goal from Amoustapha Kairou, but it was too little too late. A fantastic team performance by Miami FC took all three points. Not the game many may have been expecting, but ultimately a great start to the season. The club is back at it in West Miami-Dade on Saturday, May 8th at 7:30 p.m. vs. Hartford Athletic. The game will be available on ESPN+.

Are You Ready for CCPA: Preparing for Privacy in an Age of Big Data
The Paris Hotel
On The Road Again: Practical First Steps On Your Way to Compliance with the CCPA
March 4, 2019 – Alerts By Odia Kagan
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a broad-based law protecting information that identifies California residents, will take effect in 2020. The law includes detailed disclosure requirements, provides individuals with extensive rights to control how their personal information is used, imposes statutory fines and creates a private right of action. It is expected to dramatically alter the way U.S.-based companies process data.
Yes – it is true that CCPA will only go into effect in 2020, and some changes in the law are expected.
However, CCPA also has a "12 month look back" which requires companies to be able to provide information to consumers about information collected or disclosed in the immediately preceding 12 months. Couple that with some "behind the scenes" preparation which will likely be necessary whatever form the law takes — to allow you to do expanded disclosure or to address the consumer rights of access or deletion — and you have good reasons not to take a "wait and see" approach.
Here are the top five steps you can start taking already to prepare for CCPA:
1. Map your Personal Information:
Map out the key aspects of how you handle "Personal Information."
Specific questions to ask (with key points to focus on):
What Personal Information do you collect?
Includes: California employee information
Includes: Internet activity including cookie stream, interactions with the website, browsing history, IP address, mobile device ID
Also includes: Inferences drawn from any Personal Information to create a profile about a consumer reflecting their preferences, characteristics, behavior, attitude
From where do you collect Personal Information?
Compile a list of all the parties from whom you source data. This includes third party sources of information (like public databases or consumer reporting agencies) but also, importantly, lead generation, and social media.
Where and how is Personal Information stored?
Note: This information will come in handy both for responding to access/deletion requests and for assessing compliance with the duty to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information. Ask:
In what locations is personal information stored within the organization?
What business units are involved?
Is any personal information held by third-party providers? (Don't forget to include third parties providing services related to California employees).
What protections are applied to this information? (Here, it would be helpful to refer to the relevant information security documentation that describes them).
What do you do with the Personal Information?
Compile a list of each piece of information and the relevant purpose/use.
This will come in handy for the data access requests in connection with which you will need to provide a description of the purpose for particular information requested.
How long do you keep it? Why?
For the information mapped out above, compile a chart denoting item, time retained, and reason.
Assess the chart you compiled to determine whether these durations (or your existing records retention policy) should be revised.
Consider whether any of the information could serve the same purpose if de-identified or aggregated.
With whom do you share it? And for what purpose?
Differentiate between information that is "sold" and information that is "shared for a business purpose."
Ideally you should have the following separate lists (which are lists that you will need to pull from to be respond to access requests):
Categories of information sold
Note: You should have a way to determine the categories of information sold in the 12 months preceding the date of a request from a consumer.
Categories of third parties to whom personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information sold for each third party to whom personal information was sold
Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose
Note: You should have a way to determine the categories of information disclosed for a business purpose in the 12 months preceding the date of a request from a consumer.
Compile all agreements with third party vendors (those will likely need to be amended).
What financial incentives do you provide consumers?
Review and map all loyalty and membership programs and other incentives
Similar to above – what information is collected, how is it used/shared/retained?
What is the incentive given?
What are the options to opt-out?
This will need to be assessed against the CCPA requirement of "directly related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer's data and disclosed in the revised privacy notice". [Note: this may be amended to "value provided to the business by the consumer's data"].
2. Consider consumer rights
Devise a process for handling the access/deletion requests of California employees
See above re: gathering the information from various locations/providers
Assess which exceptions could be applicable to the request
Devise a process for handling access/deletion requests of consumers (customers)
Consider the various contact points from which requests could be received
Consider opt-outs from sale of information
3. Review your incident response policies/procedures
Do you have mechanisms and procedures in place to detect a security incident?
Do you have an incident response team?
Do you have "go-to" external resources like outside counsel, external forensics and security professionals, external public relations, identity theft protection, call centers, and other service providers?
Do you know the potential states/jurisdictions involved?
Do you know your contractual reporting obligations?
4. Conduct CCPA employee training
5. Update privacy notice/website
Prepare California employee privacy notice
Revise online privacy notice to account for new requirements
Secure two methods of contact for the consumer rights
Add "do not sell my information button"

Mohsin also expressed confidence that the Shahid Afridi-led side can pull off a win in tomorrow's much-anticipated match, which will attended by the Prime Ministers of both India and Pakistan.
"I think this has worked very well for us. These youngsters have not only lifted the fielding standards but also brought in energy into the team," the former Test player said.
Mohsin said giving new players a chance in the national team by replacing some of the seniors was part of a well-thought out process for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.
"This is not to suggest anyone has not contributed to the team but the introduction of new players has also brought in an element of competitiveness into the team for places and that is always good for a team," he stressed.
He said playing the World Cup semi-final was by itself a big achievement for the Pakistan team considering the problems they had faced in the recent months.
"I don't think this team will bow down without a fight in the semi-final although it is a high pressure match. No one expected them to come this far and now they are just two matches away from a remarkable achievement. I am confident they will give their best in the match," Mohsin said.
"I think the players are ready for the match and the pressure that comes with an Indo-Pak match specially in a World Cup," he added.
Mohsin also defended under-fire wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal but hinted a limited role for him in the future.
"I think it has been a lot of pressure on him and that has affected his performances. We brought him in for the World Cup because we see him as a top one-day player," Mohsin said.
Kamran's younger brother, Adnan Akmal has kept wickets for Pakistan in the last two Test series against South Africa and New Zealand.
He also made it clear that the only reason for picking veteran fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar in the World Cup squad was his raw pace and experience but refused to speculate whether he will be played in tomorrow's match.

Q: How to see urls of incoming SQL Server traffic? We are migrating the dns entry for our SQL Server database from an machine name to a C-Name, in preparation for moving it from a bare metal box to a virtual machine.  We have switched all the connection strings we know about and also issued instructions across our department, asking everyone to switch their connections in case there are one-off apps or db connected spreadsheets, etc.
We would like to monitor the traffic coming into the box to verify that there is no incoming traffic that got to the server via the old machine name.  Is there any way to do this?  What I need specifically is the url that all of the clients used to reach the server.  We tried monitoring the port with Wireshark but that didn't seem to provide the info we needed.
Thanks!

Kerberos connections will fail if the client uses a hostname that doesn't correspond to an SPN registered for the SQL Server service account.  And NTLM can fail if the server is not configured to accept auth at the hostname the client uses.  But there's no general way to see this.  The configuration changes required to connect with these Auth schemes through a DNS alias are outlined here.
One thing you can do is to add an additional IP address to the server and configure the two DNS entries to resolve to different IP addresses.  That you would be able to monitor either at the network level or in sys.dm_exec_connections.

Strikes hit Islamic State near Syrian border town, Iraqi dam: US
Reuters , Wednesday 22 Oct 2014
N. Korea says Kim Jong-Un freed US detainee on Obama request
Saudi jails 13 for plan to attack US forces
US arms airdrop falls into jihadist hands in Syria: Monitor
US makes first arms drop to Syria Kurds battling for Kobane
The United States conducted further air strikes against Islamic State forces on Tuesday and Wednesday, targeting the militant group near Iraq's Mosul Dam and the Syrian border town of Kobane, according to U.S. Central Command.
A U.S.-led coalition conducted 12 air strikes near the Mosul Dam complex in northern Iraq, Central Command said in a statement on Wednesday. U.S. forces also conducted six air strikes close to Kobane near Syria's border with Turkey, it said.
The strikes in Syria destroyed a logistical center for Islamic State, a militant group that has declared a caliphate, or Muslim theocracy, and seized territory across Iraq and Syria. The strikes also destroyed one of the group's buildings, vehicles and fighting positions, Central Command said, citing assessments based on initial reports.
In Iraq, the strikes destroyed a large group of Islamic State fighters along with vehicles, fighting positions and a mortar-lauching site, according to the U.S. statement.
The latest strikes around Mosul follow Pentagon warnings that Islamic State wanted to take control of the dam, which is a vital water and power source for what is Iraq's largest northern city of 1.7 million residents.
"The ISF and the Kurdish forces specifically are still in control of the Mosul Dam complex. ISIL wants it back. And they still threaten it. They don't have it but they still threaten it," Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday, using an acronym for the militant group.

The spirit of Ice Cream Day lies in savouring the taste of ice cream in any way, shape or form, doesn't it?
Who needs a specific day to enjoy ice creams? Aren't ice creams supposed to be an all-weather phenomenon and an eternal mood lifter? There is, however, a National Ice Cream Day indeed, thanks to the US of A.
The United States observes National Ice Cream Day every year on the third Sunday of July, which is also the National Ice Cream Month in the country. Now, not all countries may get to officially enjoy a day designated just to indulge their sweet tooth, but that is no excuse for not giving in to the mouthwatering benefits facilitated by the Ice Cream Day.
The spirit of Ice Cream Day lies in savouring the taste of ice cream in any way, shape or form — be it cones, sandwiches, cakes or milkshakes and sundaes. And with the trend catching up with the rest of the world, several ice cream joints elsewhere too offer deals and discounts celebrating the magic of ice cream.
It all started in 1984 when American President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month, and established 15 July as the National Ice Cream Day. Even though the resolution mentioned a specific month and day in 1984, the celebrations continued, publicised by both ice cream enthusiasts and manufactures.
In the US, ice cream is known to have been enjoyed by Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, three of the seven founding fathers of America. In fact, it was Thomas Jefferson who is credited with conceiving and writing the oldest surviving recipe for vanilla ice cream.
Ice cream may be considered a Modern Age gift to humanity, given the amount of technology used in its manufacture and preservation, but the history of ice cream narrates a different story.
What is easily availed now was once considered a luxury. Thousands of years ago, people in the Persian Empire would put snow in a bowl and pour concentrated grape juice over it, and enjoy the treat. Back then in Persia, when the technology of refrigeration had not quite found its way into the world, snow was a luxury, and hence accessible only to the rich. It was stored in cool underground chambers called "yakhchals", or collected from the mountain tops.
Ice cream first entered the United States with the Quaker colonists, who brought along their own recipes. During the colonial era, their ice cream was sold at various shops in a city which is now familiar to the world as New York.
India, on the other hand, boasts of an impressive history of ice cream as well. In the sixteenth century, Mughal rulers were known to send relays of horsemen to collect and transport ice from Hindu Kush to Delhi, in order to make fruit sorbets. Kulfi, referred to as the "traditional ice cream of India", also originated in the sixteenth century, during the Mughal reign.
At present, India stands as the world's fastest growing ice cream market. As per reports, the ice cream sales in India have increased by 13 per cent per year over the last five years.
Considering the impressively elaborate trajectory of ice cream worldwide, it is no surprise that it is assigned a day of its own. So, this 15th of July, celebrate National Ice Cream Day by sharing an ice cream or two with your family and friends, and don't forget to post it on social media making #NationalIceCreamDay an international affair.

Rodney Arthur Rust, dit Rod Rust (né le  à  Webster City (Iowa) et mort le ), est un entraîneur de football américain et de football canadien.

Il a été entraîneur-principal des Patriots de la Nouvelle-Angleterre pendant la saison NFL 1990, terminant avec un bilan d'une victoire pour quinze défaites. Coordinateur défensif et assistant de plusieurs franchises de National Football League.

Biographie

Au début de sa carrière, Rod Rust est assistant de  aux Lobos du Nouveau-Mexique et de Dick Vermeil à l'université Stanford. En 1967, il devient l'entraîneur principal de l'université de North Texas où il reste en poste cinq saisons.

Rod Rust travaille à nouveau pour Levy en 1973 comme coordinateur défensif pour les Alouettes de Montréal. Il atteint deux fois le finale de la coupe Grey, la remportant une fois en 1974.

En 1976, Rod Rust quitte le Canada pour devenir un assistant de Vermeil aux Eagles de Philadelphie. Il est entraîneur des linebackers deux saisons avant d'accepter le poste de coordinateur défensif pour les Chiefs de Kansas City entraîné par Levy. Après le départ de Levy en 1982, Rust devient un coordinateur défensif des Patriots de la Nouvelle-Angleterre.

L'entraîneur-principal Ron Meyer vire Rod Rust en cours de saison, mais cette décision va entraîner le licenciement de Meyer et le réengagement de Rust. Les Patriots vont au Super Bowl XX en 1986 avec Rod Rust. Ses qualités de coordinateur défensif dans la défense 3-4 des Patriots sont remarquées. Il quitte l'équipe après la saison 1987 pour les Chiefs, puis déménager à nouveau pour les Steelers de Pittsburgh en 1989.

Les Patriots recrutent Rod Rust comme entraîneur-chef en 1990 mais est remercié après un bilan d'une victoire pour quinze défaites, le pire bilan de l'histoire de la franchise.

Les New York Giants recrutent Rod Rust comme coordinateur défensif en 1992, mais ne reste qu'une saison avant de devenir assistant défensif des 49ers de San Francisco et des Falcons d'Atlanta.

Rod Rust est nommé entraîneur-chef des Alouettes de Montréal en 2000 et est licencié en 2001 après une série de six défaites de suite. Il passe la saison 2002 comme contrôleur qualité de la défense des Giants de New York.

En 2005, il prend le poste de coordinateur défensif des Blue Bombers de Winnipeg et quitte soudainement le club en cours de saison. En , il est recruté pour devenir coordinateur défensif des Renegades d'Ottawa mais l'équipe disparait avant que la saison ne commence.

I do not know which is funnier- George Bush trying to explain the financial crisis, John McCain believing that he is needed to help solve the financial crisis, or the prospect that Sarah Palin might know anything about the financial crisis. I mean really, Bush talks to the public like we all are a bunch of third-graders, McCain, just 10 days ago, said that the economy was fundamentally sound, and Palin is being sheltered from the media- just in case they might ask her about the economy.
I was at a fundraiser last week when one individual suggested that it was difficult to tell the candidates apart- that they were all moving to the center. That assessment is wrong on two accounts. First, there is a difference between Obama and McCain, a big difference, but worse, much worse, is Palin. She is proving, the more we learn about her, to be an unqualified candidate and cultural extremist.
If the presidential election was between Bush and Palin, I would vote for, gulp...Bush. In fact, not only would I vote for Bush, I would campaign for Bush. It seems, at this point anyways, that Palin is in way over her head. Not only does she lack serious leadership experience; she has only a moderate education and is culturally recluse. Furthermore, her religion leapfrogs Bush's beliefs, as she appears not only conservative, she is evangelical. It is one thing to have your beliefs; it is another to act as though you have never heard a decent counterargument to them.
The cute and tough "hockey mom" persona is quickly eroding into small town politician, one that, like Bush, has the superciliousness to think that people will believe whatever she says. She appears to be an actress portraying a presidential candidate, repeating well rehearsed lines, being, as best-selling author Sam Harris noted, led around by the McCain team like a "pet pony."
Harris further notes that her religious convictions include worshipping in churches that enjoy "baptism in the Holy Spirit," "miraculous healings," and the "gift of tongues." Disturbing video was recently released showing her being "protected" from witchcraft. And, finally, Harris notes due to her affiliation with the Assemblies of God Church, she might believe "that Biblical prophecy is an infallible guide to future events and that we are living in the 'end times.'" The implications of these are obvious.
The first ever presidential endorsement by the Human Society Legislative Fund, made up of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, unanimously selected Obama. Their selection only moderately had to do with Obama's excellent record with animal protection, or McCain's lukewarm record, rather it was Palin's abuse of animals.
"Gov. Sarah Palin's (R-Alaska) retrograde policies on animal welfare and conservation have led to an all-out war on Alaska's wolves and other creatures. Her record is so extreme that she has perhaps done more harm to animals than any other current governor in the United States.
Palin engineered a campaign of shooting predators from airplanes and helicopters, in order to artificially boost the populations of moose and caribou for trophy hunters. She offered a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf as an economic incentive for pilots and aerial gunners to kill more of the animals, even though Alaska voters had twice approved a ban on the practice."
It might be her culture; however, there is a brutality about her. The video from these hunts are disturbing, absolutely dreadful. Hunting moose might make her interesting in some circles; aerially eradicating Alaskan wolves so that trophy hunters will have more animals to kill for fun simply lacks morality.
The few interviews that Palin has agreed to, again, have been very concerning- to the point that, if it was not for her arrogance, I would feel bad for her. She consistently struggles with any question that includes an unscripted matter of substance. Anti-intellectualism might have been cute and entertaining over the last eight years; but it is not so funny anymore.
I wrote previously about a Democratic politician that I thought lacked the necessary qualifications, again, such as experience, education and social diversity, to be an executive for the people. This is not a partisan evaluation, our country's welfare is too important. This is not the time for putting "ordinary people" in charge of the most influential country in the world. Harris notes in his Newsweek article that in regards to issues like "nuclear proliferation, the ongoing wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, global climate change, a convulsing economy, the rise of China, etc." that "Palin does not seem competent even to rank these in order of importance, much less address any one of them."
This election is critical; our economic systems are at risk. As the most important issue of the election, I consider simply two ideas. Who created this situation and who offers the best chance to get out of it? The Republicans have clearly created most of this mess- so much so that if the situation were reversed; if the Democrats had been in the charge the last eight years, I would vote Republican without hesitation. Secondly, I have no confidence that either McCain or Palin has any real understanding of the economy, much less the ability to lead its recovery.

Q: IE7 z-index issue with a covering div I have this (simplified) DOM on my page:

Open Link

I should be clickable

#Cover Has this CSS:
#Cover
{
    background-color: white;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50);
    opacity: 0.5;
    -moz-opacity: 0.50;
    z-index: 600;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

#FirstLinkChoice has this CSS:
#FirstLinkChoice
{
    width: 616px;
    height: 77px;
    position: absolute;
    right: 144px;
    border: 1px solid #424242;
    z-index: 800;
    background-color: white;
    padding: 4px;
    text-align: left;
    display: none;
}

This script adds a click event to #FirstLink:
$(document).ready(function () {
    if ($("#FirstLink").length) {
        $("#FirstLink").click(function () { $("#FirstLinkChoice").show(); dimOn(); return false; });
    }
});

(dimOn, just activates the cover using the CSS display property.)
The desired outcome is when someone clicks #FirstLink the cover goes over the page and the contents of #FirstLinkChoice are available for selection.
This seems to work fine for all browsers except for IE7, which puts #Cover over the entire page including #FirstLinkChoice despite the z-index being lower.
What do I need to change to get this working in IE7? Unfortunately I am stuck with this nesting structure in production.
I'm perfectly OK with a solution that is Javascript based (without javascript, the link will fall back to a page with similar info to the pop up) or special CSS just for IE7 as I will use a conditional stylesheet.

A: Nesting #FirstLinkChoice inside the element .body that is supposed to be overlaid by #Cover is likely the cause. Try placing #FirstLinkChoice outside .body.
For example:

I should be clickable

I'm extremely open to a lot of methodologies. Even though some won't appeal to me, I'll never rule anything out as a possibility if it's helped someone achieve their goals in something. I say this as a precursor to being completely open for the exact same to happen to me. If anyone is dismissive to something I may say, then this is perfectly acceptable in my eyes. Each to their own.
To some, my views on the world may seem a little bit out there. There's no scientific backing of what I'm going to talk about in this article and it may even seem a little bit far-fetched.
So what is it I am about to discuss? Nutrition? Training? Supplements? Nope, in my opinion, these factors are left superfluous in the trail of the most important aspect in achieving goals; mindset.
More specifically, it is not just positive thinking that I am referring to. I am talking about the law of creation.
The law of creation is an extremely simple concept of whereby you conceive a notion in your head and then focus on it. Pretty straight forward right? You think of something you'd like to achieve and then concentrate on it with immense precision until you achieve it.
Although this is kind of the premise of what I'm on about, this target depends on various elements that are dependant on chance. I am talking about using this law to manifest the goals that are completely within your control. You have complete control over how you eat, how you train and how hard you work.
In the talk that inspired me to write this article, the main focus is on the concept of reaping and sowing. First you must sow the seeds of thought. You must conceive a goal and then create a physical representation in the real world. This is done by writing future goals in present tense on a piece of paper.
I did this every single night before I went to bed. Initially, when I started my training and 150kg felt very heavy, this goal seemed very unobtainable and scary. However, despite my reservations, I wrote my goal down every day and then did the work I had to do to achieve the goal; eat, train, recover and go again.
When you think of a future target enough, it slowly starts to become a real thought in your head. It becomes a normality, something that you've mentally created so many times, the physical re-enactment of it becomes natural.
So why have I included the video of me failing? Well it's to completely prove the power of creative thought and limiting beliefs. At no point during my prep did the notion of even going near 210kg come in to mind. I was extremely content in hitting 200kg and that was all I focused on. Adding 10kg to this target was a completely foreign idea.
I went for the weight as I hit 200 with relative ease. Rather than sticking to the plan of 205, I had a rush of adrenaline and went for 210 (which would have been a 15kg personal best).
What you'll notice about the video, is that I didn't even attempt to fight the weight at all. Although I'm very conscious of technique, I barely tried to squat the weight once I hit a sticking point. Was this strength? Possibly, but in my eyes it was utterly down to the fact that I didn't believe I could lift the weight. I was limited by my beliefs because I had not put in the mental work and mind mapped how the lift would look, feel and move.
Failure does not scare me one bit; lack of preparation does. If I don't ever lift a weight, I know it's down to poor planning and not the body's physical capabilities. Our body's physical capabilities are built upon the belief our minds have to complete a task, so in essence, it all boils down to "I can Vs I can't".
In this case, I didn't achieve what I set out to do because it surpassed my beliefs of what was possible. However now I know to never limit myself of what I can do. Visualisation plus patience plus persistence is the most powerful tool you will ever possess for achieving a goal, no matter how far fetched it may seem.


Passionfruits belong to the Passiflora genus with hundreds of species. While Passiflora can be found around the world, the most common for eating is the Passiflora edulis species that is native to South America. This species is not frost tolerant which means that the main areas of cultivation are tropical or sub-tropical climates. I have heard of this species doing very well in Hawaii, Florida, and parts of California. Where can you get passionfruit vines? You can either grow them yourself by seed, propagate from a parent plant, or buy a live plant.
This passionflower (Passiflora edulis) is a great example of the beauty behind these wonderful plants. The passionflower is an exquisite and complex flower consisting of 10 petals, many radial filaments, a centric ovary, 3 stigmas and 5 anthers. This alien flower seems to have a mathematical aspect to its design, a very bizarre specimen and one of my favorite flowers.
The most important thing about eating passionfruits is knowing the exact species from which the fruit comes. Not all passionfruits are edible so be careful about eating fruits found in the wild. If you find the fruits in the grocery store, they are safe to eat, but be weary of buying Passiflora plants on the internet or at nurseries. If the information given to you doesn't specify the edibility of that species you should refer to the internet. In addition unripe fruits of certain edible species should not be consumed by humans. The fruits of P. edulis are typically purple fleshed with yellow pulp, eat the pulp and discard the skin. Don't be afraid of the seeds, they are edible too; I think of them as larger versions of kiwi seeds. There is a wide variety of culinary uses for passionfruit but its mostly used in desserts such as sorbet. I find the taste to be sweet and tangy but the flavor will vary from each species and variety.
This option is less favorable for anyone new to passionfruit; This is because Passiflora seeds have long and irregular germination periods. I would estimate germination to occur anywhere from 1 month to 1 year after sowing. There are countless factors effecting the germination period but most prevalent seems to be the freshness of the seeds. For this reason sow your passionflower seeds as soon as possible after collecting. The advantage to growing passionfruit by seed is their extraordinary potential for hybridization. Hybridizing two different varieties of passionfruit can lead to some truly spectacular flowers.
Make sure you have a soil that is well draining and rich in potassium. If the conditions are favorable passionfruit vines will take over! If in a greenhouse be sure to tame the growth of this exploratory plant by pruning the long stems. A trellis or support stake are needed to control the growth of this plant and to provide orderly growth.
I would consider caterpillars and snails as the biggest pests of passionfruit but I have yet to have problems with either. However I have had problems with yellowing leaves and this is most likely due to an iron or sulfur deficiency, and is an easy fix with appropriate application of these nutrients. Overwintering is one of the biggest obstacles for many passionfruit growers but there are many ways to combat this issue. One of the easiest is to put it in a greenhouse. For those who wish to grow this plant outside be sure to choose a cold hardy species that suits your climate zone. There are some species of Passionflower that can survive below freezing temperatures although such temperatures are fatal for most commercially grown edible plants.
This is a Crimson Passionflower (Passiflora vitifolia). It's supposedly an edible species native to Central and South America. It provides a good contrast to P. edulis, as its petals are a vibrant red and elongated with a wider leaf structure. As well, this species' radial filaments are much shorter than those of the P. edulis. There are huge differences between each species of passionfruit and there are some truly crazy ones out there. In addition hybridization creates an endless variety of flowers.

Sergio Ramos nodded in a late winner, as Real beat Barca for the second time in a week.
Jose Mourinho rested his entire midfield and attack ahead of the game against Manchester United, and reshuffled in defence, too.
Jordi Roura was without Xavi Hernandez so played Thiago Alcantara. He played Javier Mascherano instead of Carles Puyol, and David Villa rather than Cesc Fabregas.
This was the sixth Clasico of the season and the third in the last five weeks. On the basis that (1) This wasn't a particularly important game for Real and (2) A usual tactical review would go over a lot of old ground, here are ten bitesize points.
Mourinho may have rested the vast majority of his best players, but the shape and feel of the side was very similar to the XI that triumphed confidently at the Camp Nou in midweek. Jose Callejon did a passable Angel Di Maria impression, motoring up and down the line to nullify Jordi Alba's influence, while on the opposite side Alvaro Morate is in the Cristiano Ronaldo mould – big, strong and aggressive with his positioning.
In midfield, too, Luka Modric was fielded to the left in the Xabi Alonso role, while Pepe was given license to move forward in the manner of Sami Khedira. Kaka connected midfield and attack like Mesut Ozil, although he probably played deeper without the ball and stayed more central. Everything was designed so Real could repeat their midweek performance, and although there was an inevitable drop in quality because this was largely a reserve XI, it worked pretty well.
Alves' defending for Real's first goal looked extremely sloppy – Morata received possession and went down the outside, where Alves gave him plenty of time to send a cross towards Karim Benzema at the far post.
Maybe it was just terrible defending, but it looked very much like Alves didn't know about Morata's characteristics. Alves got himself in a position to block the Ronaldo-style cut-inside-and-shoot, but Morata was happy to cross the ball with his left foot. Bad defending, or a lack of research?
However, later in the first half Morata had a completely free header, which he sent into the near post side-netting, after a good deep cross from Modric on the right. This is something Barcelona have struggled with in recent weeks – Alves being brought too narrow, and a ball over his head towards the far post – they've conceded at least four goals in 2012 because of this, and it might be something future opponents can continue to exploit.
Barcelona's passing at the start of the match was quicker and more varied than in recent weeks (when they've spent too long on the ball in midfield, and looked short of forward passing options). Here, there was still a problem with a lack of penetration, but with Iniesta in the middle and the play stretched on the left, Barcelona seemed more natural in the way they moved the ball across the centre of the pitch.
Pre-match teamsheets suggested Michael Essien would play in midfield, Sergio Ramos would be at right-back, and Pepe would be at centre-back. In a way, all three would be more natural in those positions.
Why did Mourinho play with Essien right-back, Ramos centre-back and Pepe in midfield? Maybe for Pepe's strength in midfield – he did a great job there two years ago after a couple of games where Real had struggled with Barcelona's midfield passing – but it was probably mainly because of Ramos. He'll be used alongside Varane against Manchester United in midweek, and Mourinho probably wanted to pair them together, to further their understanding as a partnership.
6. Don't let Real counter!
There was a strange moment midway through the first half when Pepe went down injured on the halfway line, and Real put the ball out of play so he could receive medical attention. In returning the ball to Real, Barca essentially 'kicked for touch' (to use a rugby expression) and thumped the ball downfield, giving Real a throw-in level with their own six-yard box. Barcelona then pressed them, boxing them into the corner.
But is that not the kind of situation Real relish, with their counter-attacking power? Barca committed eight men into the opposition half, and Real had space to break into. They successfully retained possession from the throw, then briefly broke two-against-two before Kaka miscontrolled. Against most sides it's a logical tactic, but versus Real it's not particularly helpful.
David Villa did little with the ball, but his permanent positioning on the left helped Barcelona press – the side was able to move forward more naturally as a unit, without the confusion about Iniesta and Fabregas' positioning. His work rate was also good – Lionel Messi's first-half chance, when he shot straight at Diego Lopez with his right foot, came after Villa's pressure forced Michael Essien into a misplaced pass.
It's easy to say in hindsight, after Barca conceded a very late goal – especially as they would have been entirely happy with a point. But having started the game moving the ball across the pitch quickly, Barcelona's tempo dropped dramatically midway through the first half, to the point where they weren't even attempting to score a second.
Yes, their long passing sequences are part of their gameplan, and 'one-twos' feature heavily, but when Messi and Iniesta played a 'seven-eight' in a position deeper than Real's central midfield after 31 minutes, you couldn't help think they were settling for a point rather early. If anyone can pass to a draw, it's Barcelona – but it didn't work here.
Varane nodded in on Wednesday night, Ramos did it again here. Barcelona's aerial weakness is nothing new – but without Puyol it's even more obvious. Even if they weren't always regulars, players like Seydou Keita, Eric Abidal, Yaya Toure, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry were often in the side to help defend set-pieces if necessary – now Barcelona don't have anyone like that, with the exception of Alex Song, who has yet to prove useful.
We know Ronaldo shoots a lot, but this was something else – in only half an hour on the pitch, Ronaldo managed six shots – no-one else managed more than three in the entire game.
FC Barcelona is on a tilt because of 'no coach for months' situation. They should really consider bringing in an emergency coach, too bad Guardiola already signed with someone.
Barca need a new coach who they can rely on to be fit and healthy. It's a shame for Tito but he needs to step down in recognition that he cannot give those assurances. As for Roura, he needs to disappear. He may very well be the worst coach Barca have ever had. Ruining one of the best teams of all time in just a couple of months is a special talent.
One of the more pointless clasicos (although now that atletico only drew against malaga the win is very useful for real). Don't you think Mourinho should have used this opportunity to test a new system, instead of just replacing certain players with others and making them play the same way (like you described in point 1)?
That's a risk. This is still a clasico against a largely first-string Barcelona side with second place up for grabs.
this match had the strange look and feel of a USA preseason friendly. It is so awkward to see a Clasico with daylight.
Michael, you make great point about Abidal, Keita and so on. With the exception of Puyol, Piqué and Busquets Barcelona are now tiny. And while their Zonal Marking-system is still pretty good, they might have become too small as a team.
I wonder when teams will actually try to play for a corner against them (like sides do, when they want to waste time, while leading near the end of a match).
This was a major part of Chelsea's plan last year. During both legs they were attacking for the corners, which allowed them to waste time and to attack one of Barca's vulnerabilities.
Even defensively this held because they looked for chances to break on the counter then.
Mascherano has not played a good game this season. The decline of Puyol, Pique and Alves are devastating and Bartra and Montoya should at least have a chance.
Again, Roura is the worst coach of century, he should resign if he has any integrity. He has completely destroyed Barca in a month.
Moreover Barca has won 0 games against Madrid in the last five games.
The biggest issue plaguing Barcelona right now is a lack of verticality. They just aren't providing enough forward options for the midfielders. As a result, sterile possession. Tottenham's 2 goals today against Arsenal illustrate what's been missing for Barca. Lack of movement. We saw Adebayor run diagonally, dragging a CB with him and creating space for Bale. Not too dissimilar to Sanchez or Pedro running diagonally and creating space for Messi. We also saw Lennon making a run from the right flank to the center. Not too dissimilar to a goal that Sanchez scored against Getafe.
It's time for Barca to play with a CF. Villa needs to go into the middle to occupy the CBs. Moving Villa centrally also helps give the wide players someone to aim for with low crosses, someone for Messi to play 1-2's with, and someone to play through balls to.
As for Messi, if it's too congested in the middle and he's looking for space, he needs to find it on the right flank rather than to drop deep into midfield.
Messi lazy? Maybe, but can you blame him? He's our SOLE goal threat and has to suffer playing with Alexis Sanchez. Just HAVING Messi on the pitch changes everything. His through ball passing, the usual diagonals to the left, have been awful lately.
Teams are figuring out Messi. He needs to play on the right wing again with Alves. Villa through middle, Pedro or Tello on left.
Arsenal was playing with a very high line, which gave loads of space for Tottenham's forwards to run into. Barça very rarely are given that luxury.
Agreed on lack of verticality though.
Even if teams defend very deep, there's no excuse for Barca's forwards to not make those same diagonal and decoy runs we saw from Tottenham. That's what I was actually getting at. But what worries me as a Barca fan is that Madrid did play a high line for a majority of the match, and Barca didn't do enough to exploit that.
Barca are certainly having a few rough weeks here, and this very well could be the end of the Barca reign (all must come to an end), although they are still going to win La Liga. Some coaches, like Pep, stick by the method of staying with a club for no more than 3-4 years because that is the natural cycle for a club under one manager. It's hard to motivate the same players with the same methods with the same manager for any longer…. or so goes the theory. On top of which, after being in the spotlight for those years, teams eventually will figure out a way to knock you off your perch… or the squad simply ages out of their prime, or a combination of both.
1) he always prepared his team against each opponent: the passing barca played was never exactly the same!
2) he was never reluctant to experiment with new formations (e.g. the back three).
Very interesting point on #2 about if Alves being used to Ronaldo contributed to his positioning.
Ramos more natural at right-back? I know he's good there, as well, but I definitely think he's better as a centre-back.
Ok. I completely agree – just interested in knowing your thoughts on it.
How highly do you rate Ramos as a centre-back, out of interest? As good as Kompany, Hummels, Thiago Silva and (an in-form) Pique? Better? I think he's an excellent defender, but he can make some rash decisions and his disciplinary record is terrible (at least at club-level.) On paper, it seems logical that he should be paired alongside a calmer defender – a Varane, rather than a Pepe.
I remember Mourinho being asked about Ramos' place in the team when he first got appointed at Real. His response was that he is a great right back but has the potential to be "one of the best" at center back.
Also, Ramos was, for me, Spain best and most consistent performer at the Euro. I still despise the guy, of course.
Point #3: this. I can't even count how many times opponents have gotten a chance or scored a goal because of this. Alves being tucked in next to the CB and there's a free man standing right behind his back. You can see this kind of situation unfolding over and over again. I'm no expert but shouldn't the RB's first priority be taking care of the guy on his side of the box and let the CBs deal with whatever is going on at the penalty spot? Why does Alves keep making this mistake when it has proven so fatal?
Alexis's first touch and finishing are very poor. No doubt about that. But his work rate and movement is important to the system. It won't show up in the state sheet but he's created some chances just by making runs to drag defenders with him. As for Pedro, it's a complete mystery to everybody. He use to always be in the right place at the right time. I don't even notice him on the pitch anymore.
As for #3, there's been an interesting article recently (http://allasfcb.blogspot.in/2013/02/full-back-covering.html), giving Dani some alibi.
Regarding #9, FCB have lost very few headed/set pieces goals, Madrid's been the only team to constantly threaten them that way; their zonal marking system really does work pretty well.
The biggest problem is Vilanova's absence; it's Roura's first year as an assistant manager, and he's been forced into a rather difficult and unexpected situation, into a job he just isn't cut for.
The passing is much more direct. Barca are not as patient and the team lacks vertical width to create space for Messi. Lack of intense pressure from the front to retrieve possession. Hence, Barca are conceding possession more often. They are conceding it via longer passes generally, hence are not as close to the intercepting player to retrieve it quickly and are not retrieving the ball very quickly and exploiting defensive mistakes.
How good Pep was may ultimately be proven with his moving on.
i think these games highlight how much Barca are dependent on Xavi is for their tika football to work. He really set the platform and without him Barce seem out of sorts and loose around 85% of their effectiveness. Xavi is already 33 and is becoming a bit more injury prone like in the old days and without him, barca don't seem to have a substitute who can do what he does effectively. I thought Fabregas could be the answer but he hasn't been picked for that role and Thiago just isn't up there yet or maybe he wont ever be(only time will tell). Put it simply they don't have a plan B when things don't go their way.
On the issue of Alves positioning, there are a few points worth consideration.
Quite often Pedro is being asked to cut inside from the right flank to perform a No9 role during games. When he does this, it leaves Alves to work the entire right handside himself.
During transitions, Alves gets caught out but there is no direct cover in front of him.
The left flank also has problems due to Jordi Alba attacking simultaneously with Alves. Alba cannot recover as quickly as Alves and many teams are attacking the Barcelona left. Crosses are aimed at the far post where Alves is poorly positioned but he has no help from the right midfield area.
Also, with Pique being out of sorts at times, is Alves positioning himself closer to Pique for covering purposes? Alves never used to move that tight to Pique?
IMO, this is the definition of a tactical coach, can change 6 players and execute the same gameplan (tactics) and still win against Barcelona starting XI (minus Xavi), that is pretty much all the evidence I need to say that Mou has finally figured out a way to beat the tactics that Barca use.
Considering just how rigid Barca is with experimenting with other tactics (they won't use target man, longball, physical play), I think this strategy could be used for quite some time now.
Apparently, Barca are going to play something like a 3-3-4 against Milan. Who knows how will this formation work, but it's good to see that they are considering changes. Anything is better from the football they've been playing in the last 2 weeks.
there is nothing special about barca playing a 3 men defence.
last year against chelsea they started with the same approach and just had to overcome 1 goal!
only an early goal + a miracle can keep the catalans dream alive. milan will fight their hearts out n will be waiting for deadly counters.
1. Unfortunately for barca, the top teams have figured a way to play against them firstly inter of maurinho, then milan and now real madrid – after getting thrashed many times, they finally have a game plan that can contain barca, whether this is because barca has lost quality or the opponent simply figured them out.
3. selling ibrahimovic was the biggest mistake they did, if he had stayed ibra would be the plan B they so badly need to change games. guardiola was a genius but unfortunately couldn't make the player stay.
4. this game shows the immaturity of roura, with real madrid essentially playing a reserve squad – and barca leading the table and playing a non important game – this was a game barca didn't need to play the whole 1st team nor provide the chance for madrid to humiliate their 1st team.
5. alves alves alves – overated, defensive liability, i can say the reason chelsea won last season was because alves was terrible.
6. xavi, iniesta, fabregas all too easy..
Out of curiosity did anyone observe any point in the match were Pepe/Ramos/Essien were in their alternative positions?
Teams have not "figured Barcelona out" in my opinion. Barcelona are simply no where near the level they have been- mainly in the area of ball retention. Barca has been extremely sloppy with the ball sans Xavi. Iniesta may be the most talented player in the world, but he is not the one to provide order. Xavi gave order to everything. Busquets has given more balls away this season than I saw from him in the previous three combined. Thiago does not read a game well at all with his passing.
Real are a team designed to live on the mistakes of others, and that's exactly what they done against Barcelona recently. Without mistakes to exploit, they become a very underwhelming side to watch despite their talent (see overall Liga form).
Barcelona needs a center forward purchase in the summer. They need an off the ball terror to help open spaces in both the middle of the pitch and final third. Ibra didn't work because his work rate was almost non-existent off the ball. Cavani would be ideal, but Napoli will only let him go for a ridiculous fee.

Q: iOS strings file collision - Same string in source langage, different in target So, I'm localizing an app from japanese to english.
In japanese, there is no distinction between (say) "Mr." and "Ms."(/"Mrs."), so I need to do something like this:
/* Salutation format for user (male) */
"%@様" = "Mr. %@";

/* Salutation format for user (female) */
"%@様" = "Ms. %@";

As you can see, the Japanese localization uses the same string in both cases. I was under the impression that, when the strings file contains more than one entry with the same 'source' (i.e., left side) string, the 'comment' was used to determine which one was employed. It turns out I was wrong, and the comment parameter is just an aid for human translators, totally ignored by NSLocalizedString().
So if I run the app, both of the code paths below produce the same string, regardless of the user's gender:
NSString* userName;
BOOL userIsMale;

/* userName and userIsMale are set... */

NSString* format;

if(userIsMale){
    // MALE
    format = NSLocalizedString(@"%@様",
                               @"Salutation format for user (male)");
}
else{
    // FEMALE
    format = NSLocalizedString(@"%@様",
                               @"Salutation format for user (female)");
}

NSString* salutation = [NSString stringWithFormat:format, userName];

So, how should I deal with a case like this?

A: Well, actually "left side" of the NSLocalizedString is a key. So you could do something like:
NSLocalizedString(@"SalutForUserMale", @"Salutation format for user (male)");
NSLocalizedString(@"SalutForUserFemale", @"Salutation format for user (female)");

Then in your base *.strings file (Japanese I presume) you would have:
"SalutForUserMale" = "%@様";
"SalutForUserFemale" = "%@様";

And in your English *.strings file you would have:
"SalutForUserMale" = "Mr. %@";
"SalutForUserFemale" = "Ms. %@";

A: The Localizable.strings files are nothing more than key value lists. You are using the Japanese phrases as keys which is unusual but I guess it works. I assume this is because the original app was developed in Japanese(?). I usually use English phrases keys, but whatever.
The point is that if you want two different phrases in even just one translation you have to have two different keys in all your translations. If there is something in your base language that is not distinguished but in the translations it is, then you can just "split" an existing key in two new ones. Just change it slightly or add a number, see below:
/* english .strings file */
"hello_world_key" = "Hello World";
"Yes1" = "Yes"; // same in english but different values in german
"Yes2" = "Yes";

/* german .strings file */
"hello_world_key" = "Hallo Welt";
"Yes1" = "Ja";
"Yes2" = "Jawohl";

The Fulham end of year awards: Who has been the Cottagers' best player in 2017?
We've taken a look at the best player, goals and moments of 2017 for Fulham as we approach the end of the year
Ryan O'DonovanFulham FC Reporter
We're fast approaching the end of the year, something that coincides with the halfway point for the Championship, and it's been a mixed year as far as Fulham are concerned.
The side ended the 2016/17 season as one of the best teams in the Championship, but lost the Play-off semi final to Reading, and despite being tipped to be right up at the top in this campaign, things haven't really gone as planned.
But now that we're at the end of the calendar year, we've taken a look back at the year that was and have decided who the best player was and where the highlights of the year can be found.
Here's our verdicts:
There's only one player that can win this, and that is the Fulham captain, Tom Cairney.
In the first part of the year, Cairney was instrumental in Slavisa Jokanovic's team and their charge to the Play-offs in April, and it was clear that when the 26-year-old played well, Fulham played well.
An injury in pre-season means he hasn't been at the top of his game just yet in the latter part of 2017 - but that performance against Ipswich Town in August was the Cairney we all know, and as time goes on the creative midfielder will find only get back to that level of performance.
Honourable Mentions: An honourable mention must go to Kevin McDonald, who has been consistent as the year has gone and is also one of the most instrumental players in the Fulham side.

Fulham fans have their say on what they think should be Slavisa Jokanovic's best XI
Best goal
This is a tough category, fans and press alike were treated to so many goals at the end of last season that we're spoilt for choice in this category.
For me, the Cairney goal against Leeds stands out as a highlight, not just because of the quality of strike but because of what it meant to players, management and fans.
It was a lovely hit from the captain, curling it into the top corner and the celebrations afterwards in the Hammersmith End are one that will live long in the memory, add to it that it was a last minute equaliser against a Play-off rival and it makes it just that bit sweeter.
Honourable mentions: There really are so many that could win this category, Ryan Sessegnon's goals at Newcastle, Cairney's goal at Newcastle, the goals at Huddersfield and Sessegnon's wonderful strike at Sheffield United this year - the ball from Oliver Norwood and the youngster's ability to slot it across goal into the far side was brilliant.

Fulham would be wrong to sack Slavisa Jokanovic - but things aren't good enough at the moment
Best moment
I think the best moment of the year was at the final whistle of the Newcastle game at St James' Park, after Fulham had absolutely tore Rafa Bentiez' side to shreds.
Sessegnon's two goals, Cairney's strike and the manner of which Fulham controlled that game was something that summed up the second part of the season and the charge to the play-offs.
Jokanovic's side were playing the beautiful game and it was a pleasure to witness a side in full flight that day.
Honourable mentions: The win at Huddersfield gets an honourable mention here, while the draw with Leeds at home does too. Watching that 5-4 victory over Sheffield United was also one of the best moments of the year - I've never seen a game like that and I doubt I ever will again.
