A stiff new layer in Earth's mantle
A simplified image of a slab from one of Earth's tectonic plates sinking through the upper mantle above, through the boundary between the upper and lower mantle 410 miles deep, then stalling and pooling at a depth of 930 miles, where University of Utah experiments suggest the existence of an extremely stiff or viscous layer in Earth. Such a layer may explain why tectonic plate slabs seem to pool at 930 miles under Indonesia and South America's Pacific coast. Below the highly viscous zone, slabs can continue to sink to the core-mantle boundary. Credit: Lowell Miyagi, University of Utah
By crushing minerals between diamonds, a University of Utah study suggests the existence of an unknown layer inside Earth: part of the lower mantle where the rock gets three times stiffer. The discovery may explain a mystery: why slabs of Earth's sinking tectonic plates sometimes stall and thicken 930 miles underground.
The findings – published today in the journal Nature Geoscience – also may explain some deep earthquakes, hint that Earth's interior is hotter than believed, and suggest why partly molten rock or magmas feeding midocean-ridge volcanoes such as Iceland's differ chemically from magmas supplying island volcanoes like Hawaii's.
"The Earth has many layers, like an onion," says Lowell Miyagi, an assistant professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Utah. "Most layers are defined by the minerals that are present. Essentially, we have discovered a new layer in the Earth. This layer isn't defined by the minerals present, but by the strength of these minerals."
Earth's main layers are the thin crust 4 to 50 miles deep (thinner under oceans, thicker under continents), a mantle extending 1,800 miles deep and the iron core. But there are subdivisions. The crust and some of the upper mantle form 60- to 90-mile-thick tectonic or lithospheric plates that are like the top side of conveyor belts carrying continents and seafloors.
Oceanic plates collide head-on with continental plates offshore from Chile, Peru, Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Kamchatka, Japan and Indonesia. In those places, the leading edge of the oceanic plate bends into a slab that dives or "subducts" under the continent, triggering earthquakes and volcanism as the slabs descend into the mantle, which is like the bottom part of the conveyor belt. The subduction process is slow, with a slab averaging roughly 300 million years to descend, Miyagi estimates.
Miyagi and fellow mineral physicist Hauke Marquardt, of Germany's University of Bayreuth, identified the likely presence of a superviscous layer in the lower mantle by squeezing the mineral ferropericlase between gem-quality diamond anvils in presses. They squeezed it to pressures like those in Earth's lower mantle. Bridgmanite and ferropericlase are the dominant minerals in the lower mantle.

The researchers found that ferropericlase's strength starts to increase at pressures equivalent to those 410 miles deep – the upper-lower mantle boundary – and the strength increases threefold by the time it peaks at pressure equal to a 930-mile depth.
And when they simulated how ferropericlase behaves mixed with bridgmanite deep underground in the upper part of the lower mantle, they calculated that the viscosity or stiffness of the mantle rock at a depth of 930 miles is some 300 times greater than at the 410-mile-deep upper-lower mantle boundary.
"The result was exciting," Miyagi says. "This viscosity increase is likely to cause subducting slabs to get stuck – at least temporarily – at about 930 miles underground. In fact, previous seismic images show that many slabs appear to 'pool' around 930 miles, including under Indonesia and South America's Pacific coast. This observation has puzzled seismologists for quite some time, but in the last year, there is new consensus from seismologists that most slabs pool."
How stiff or viscous is the viscous layer of the lower mantle? On the pascal-second scale, the viscosity of water is 0.001, peanut butter is 200 and the stiff mantle layer is 1,000 billion billion (or 10 to the 21st power), Miyagi says.
Slab subduction triggers earthquakes and volcanoes
For the new study, Miyagi's funding came from the U.S. National Science Foundation and Marquardt's from the German Science Foundation.
"Plate motions at the surface cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions," Miyagi says. "The reason plates move on the surface is that slabs are heavy, and they pull the plates along as they subduct into Earth's interior. So anything that affects the way a slab subducts is, up the line, going to affect earthquakes and volcanism."
He says the stalling and buckling of sinking slabs at due to a stiff layer in the mantle may explain some deep earthquakes higher up in the mantle; most quakes are much shallower and in the crust. "Anything that would cause resistance to a slab could potentially cause it to buckle or break higher in the slab, causing a deep earthquake."

Miyagi says the stiff upper part of the lower mantle also may explain different magmas seen at two different kinds of seafloor volcanoes
Recycled crust and mantle from old slabs eventually emerges as new seafloor during eruptions of volcanic vents along midocean ridges – the rising end of the conveyor belt. The magma in this new plate material has the chemical signature of more recent, shallower, well-mixed magma that had been subducted and erupted through the conveyor belt several times. But in island volcanoes like Hawaii, created by a deep hotspot of partly molten rock, the magma is older, from deeper sources and less well-mixed.
Miyagi says the viscous layer in the lower mantle may be what separates the sources of the two different magmas that supply the two different kinds of volcanoes.
Another implication of the stiff layer is that "if you decrease the ability of the rock in the mantle to mix, it's also harder for heat to get out of the Earth, which could mean Earth's interior is hotter than we think," Miyagi says.
He says scientists believe the average temperature and pressure 410 miles deep at the upper-lower mantle boundary is 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit and 235,000 times the atmospheric pressure on Earth's surface. He calculates that at the viscous layer's stiffest area, 930 miles deep, the temperature averages 3,900 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure is 640,000 times the air pressure at Earth's surface.
Studying Earth's interior by squeezing crystals
Such conditions prevent geophysicists from visiting Earth's mantle, so "we know a lot more about the surface of Mars than we do Earth's interior," Miyagi says. "We can't get down there, so we have to do experiments to see how these minerals behave under a wide range of conditions, and use that to simulate the behavior of the Earth."
Recommended For You Types of volcanic eruptions
To do that, "you take two gem quality diamonds and trap a sample between the tips," he says. "The sample is about the diameter of a human hair. Because the diamond tips are so small, you generate very high pressure just by turning the screws on the press by hand with Allen wrenches."
Using diamond anvils, the researchers squeezed thousands of crystals of ferropericlase at pressures up to 960,000 atmospheres. They used ferropericlase with 10 percent and 20 percent iron to duplicate the range found in the mantle.
To observe and measure the spacing of atoms in ferropericlase crystals as they were squeezed in diamond anvils, the geophysicists bombarded the crystals with X-rays from an accelerator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, revealing the strength of the mineral at various pressures and allowing the simulations showing how the rock becomes 300 times more viscous at the 930-mile depth than at 410 miles.
The finding was a surprise because researchers previously believed that viscosity varied only a little bit at temperatures and pressures in the planet's interior.
The study's simulations also determined that just below the 930-mile-deep zone of highest viscosity, slabs sink more easily again as the lower mantle becomes less stiff, which happens because atoms can move more easily within ferropericlase crystals.
Descending slabs have been seen as deep as the core-mantle boundary 1,800 miles underground. As the bottom of the conveyor-belt-like mantle slowly moves, the slabs mix with the surrounding rock before the mixture erupts anew millions of years later and thousands of miles away at midocean ridges.

Journal of Chemical Crystallography
Aqueous reactions of copper(I) cyanide with 1-phenylpiperazine (PhPip) in the presence of KCN produce network compounds having CuCN:PhPip stoichiometries of 1:1, 3:2, and 4:1 depending on the mixing ratio used. In addition to these phases, hydrothermal synthesis yields a 5:3 network. Crystal structures of these four compounds are reported herein. The (CuCN)(PhPip) network (1) forms sheets consisting of Cu centers that coordinate all PhPip via NH only, and are linked together by μ3-cyano bridges. The (CuCN)3(PhPip)2 network (2) exists as a series of dual-chain ladders. All Cu centers are 3-coordinate and half of the PhPip ligands bridge pairs of chains using both NH and NPh, while the other PhPip are only NH bound. The (CuCN)5(PhPip)3 network (3) forms three independent sets of 1D chains: 2[(CuCN)(PhPip)]·(CuCN)3(PhPip). Both 2- and 3-coordinate copper atoms are present and all PhPip ligands bond only through NH. The (CuCN)4(PhPip) network (4) forms identical, but orthogonal, interpenetrating sheets consisting of 2- and 3-coordinate CuCN chains linked by bridging PhPip ligands. Pairwise cuprophilic interactions are seen in the 5:3 and 4:1 networks. The 3:2 compound shows visible photoluminescence associated with Cu-CN MLCT. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with cell parameters: a = 17.6123(3) Å, b = 6.89480(10) Å, c = 8.6154(2) Å, β = 96.1460(10), V = 1040.18(3) Å3, and Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic P − 1 space group with cell parameters: a = 9.93710(10) Å, b = 10.6359(2) Å, c = 12.1230(2) Å, α = 105.7110(10), β = 100.6110(10), γ = 97.7230(10), V = 1189.11(3) Å3, and Z = 2. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group with cell parameters: a = 15.9018(2) Å, b = 9.38850(10) Å, c = 26.1864(3) Å, β = 104.5110(10), V = 3784.76(8) Å3, and Z = 4. Compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21 space group with cell parameters: a = 13.4773(3) Å, b = 7.8460(2) Å, c = 8.5527(2) Å, β = 105.1820(10), V = 872.82(4) Å3, and Z = 2.

When you are in the process of choosing your hosting service, you will most likely find that your hosting provider has many different options and plans available for you to choose from. One of these may be dedicated hosting, and before making the decision to choose this particular type of service, you will want to know more about it.
You will probably first start with looking at shared webhosting, but now having the opportunity to choose the dedicated hosting service; you will want to know whether this is the right decision for you. For those that are using shared hosting, you are using a server that is shared with others. When you go for the dedicated server services, your site will be hosted on one server that is dedicated to you.
Although you are the only one that is on this server, it still remains the property of the hosting provider and you are basically leasing this space from them. There are many different packages that come with dedicated hosting and you will want to study them carefully to see which one suits your needs best. In most cases, there is software that may be included in the plans that will be offered to you.
There are several benefits that come with dedicated hosting. One is that you will find that there is a good range of variety in the packages that are being offered for this type of hosting. As mentioned, it can include a software and you may have the option of choosing a package that has it included. Also, you will find that you will probably have an option to install different applications that may be important to you and also to be able to omit those from your package that are of no value to you.
One of the biggest advantages to most web owners, and particularly those that have some knowledge about hosting environment is the additional security that comes with using dedicated hosting. As you are not in a shared environment, there is much less risk of your site becoming infected with viruses that can be of a concern to your business.
You will find that you can enjoy the advantages of having much more freedom with your dedicated hosting as well as easy access and control over its usage. Another great feature about using a dedicated hosting service is that if you are expecting to have a great deal of traffic to your site, then you won't have any concerns with respect to the hosting server being able to handle this.
Having root access is another advantage which you won't get with shared services. You may also find that some of the additional features that come with a dedicated hosting is solutions for your e-commerce site or the ability to monitor spam as a well as use additional scripts. With the server being dedicated to just your website, you have no concerns about what else may be taking place on the server as you do when you are sharing one. You also don't have to worry about outgrowing your server as it should have the capabilities to handle your traffic and the amount of data that your site possesses.
For those businesses that are based in Ireland, their best choice is to use local host providers and there are many that offer dedicated servers for hosting. You will want to take your time to look at what is considered as the best, that are most established and offer a great deal of flexibility in the type of dedicated server packages that they have to offer.


More companies are taking steps to reduce their impact on the environment. Earlier this year, Ceres released an excellent comprehensive view of which companies are taking what actions (and what more needs to be done). The upside is that 64 percent of the 600 largest U.S. companies have commitments in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As I've noted here before, many companies actually have concrete, science-based targets for reductions in waste and energy and water use — so much so that companies all sound the same when they talk about their goals. I've urged corporations to set the appropriate targets but to hone in on one environmental or social issue they can own — that they can be known for and solve. It's what consumers want companies to do, and being known for leading on an issue is fully leverage-able from a brand-building standpoint.
But I think it's time to go further.
It's time to level with people.
Whether it's wildfires in California, heat waves in Europe or hurricanes all over, the impacts of climate change are here. They're happening right now. So it's awesome that companies are aiming for things such as zero environmental impact by 2030 or 60 percent carbon reductions by 2020 — I would NOT want those companies to throw their hands up and stop working towards those goals.
It's awesome that companies are aiming for things like zero environmental impact by 2030. But the brutal truth is that those efforts won't stop climate change or turn it around.
But the brutal truth is that those efforts won't stop climate change or turn it around. It's already happening. I think it's time for companies to start acknowledging that in their communications about the environment — and to communicate what they're doing to help people deal with the climate effects that are already ever-present.
Savvy companies are already working on climate change resilience — determining how they'll continue to operate in the midst of devastating climate events. I'm suggesting that savvier companies will make plans for that and plans for how their products and services, people and processes can be mobilized to help people in need as the climate hits come faster and faster.
How will your company be a first responder?
How will you talk about climate change resilience? How will you shift your company's story so you're not just telling people you're working to reduce your company's impact on the planet — you're also working to reduce the planet's impact on people? What will you create when you broaden your thinking to include both reduction and response? And how will you make an impact on countless lives in immediate need when those climate moments happen?
Be that company — the company that eliminates its impact on the planet and the company that responds to people in crisis when the climate disasters happen. Do that in a way that's unique to your brand or your product and, for all of my podium-pounding about how important it is to tell your story, you won't actually need the help of a company such as mine to tell the story. The story will tell itself.


Pro tips for parking overnight at Walmart.
When we first started our journey, we thought we would be parking every night in amazingly scenic places, with our back doors open and our golden retriever frolicking through the wide-open spaces. Unfortunately, that didn't happen as much as we thought it would, and we do spend many, many nights in Walmart parking lots, especially on the East coast where free public land is almost non-existent.
Soon after we became full-time RVers we realized how much we didn't want to spend all of our money and time at campgrounds. We bought a Class B van specifically because we had a set timeline to see the country as quickly as possible. And we wanted the freedom to dictate our own schedule. We found that being the night owls that we are, campgrounds were restrictive to us.
We rarely accomplish anything before 10 a.m., and we usually do a lot of our driving late into the night. So, having to get to a campground before closing time (often 5 p.m.) really cut into our productivity. However, if we were able to arrange a late check-in we felt that we weren't "getting our money's worth." We didn't want to pay for a campground, only to arrive so late that we couldn't use the amenities, ie: pool, showers, laundry, WiFi, etc. We would just be throwing money away to park for the night and leave the next morning.
Also, many campgrounds are often secluded from downtown areas and we wanted an option to be close to the action without having to spend an arm and a leg on urban campgrounds. So, after just three nights in paid campgrounds, we decided to try our hand at 'Wallydocking' – boondocking or dry camping (staying overnight in your RV) in a Walmart parking lot without hookups and without setting up camp.
Van life isn't all nature and wide-open spaces all the time like it was in Shiprock, NM.
Our first step was to see which Walmarts were acceptable to stay at. We downloaded the Allstays Camp & RV App to our phones, which pays for itself from the money you will save not staying in campgrounds. The app shows all of the acceptable Walmarts to stay at with a yellow "W", and the non-acceptable ones with a red "W." Just make sure to read the reviews for the ones that you are contemplating staying at, since not all Wallydocking-acceptable-Walmarts are created equal.
Some are still marked as "acceptable" but have bad reviews regarding noise, crime, size of the lot, etc. If there is an option for a Walmart that has decent reviews vs. one that has no reviews or questionable reviews but is closer, we'll usually go out of our way for the sure thing.
We always want to minimize the chance of getting the 2 a.m. knock on our door, which we have gotten a total of once at an All-stays-approved Walmart, even after almost 100 Wallydocking experiences. Even getting kicked out that one time wasn't so bad, so try not to live in constant fear of it.
Left: Lots of Wallydocking options in Maine; Middle: No Wallydocking options in Saint Petersburg, FL; Right: One lowly Wallydocking option in Fort Stockton, TX.
Before you arrive at your Wallydocking-Walmart-of-Choice, make sure to check out the satellite view of the parking lot, just so you're not circling the parking lot aimlessly trying to gauge which is the best spot.
We always park the farthest away from the store while still staying on Walmart property, and we try to park so that our sliding door opens up to a curb facing away from the main entrance of the store. It's an added bonus if we're near grass or a mulched area, so it's easy to take our dog out.
Also make sure to look at the Allstays reviews for any directions about parking. Some Walmarts want you to park in a specific area, like "at the perimeter" or "by the garden center." It is also best practice to ask a manager or security before you stay, so this is a good time to confirm which area is best.
The reviews on Allstays are all posted by other travelers trying to find good Wallydocking spots, so if you experience anything that might help another RVer out, be sure to share the wealth, especially if you get kicked out.
A visual representation of our personal Wallydocking parking strategy.
While Wallydocking, we also don't use our generator; although in very RV-friendly Walmarts (Fort Stockton, TX and Cortez, CO) we have seen over 20 RVs parked for the night, some with their generators on. In Page, AZ some rigs were fully popped out and camp chairs and grills set up in the parking lot. This is usually not the norm, and is not considered best practice. But seeing other RVs in the parking lot when you arrive, is always reassuring. There's always a little bit of fear when we roll into a Walmart with no reviews and no other RVs are there.
It's also a common courtesy to shop at the Walmart you are staying at. We don't do this every time and no one is policing this, but we often spend more than we would to stay at a campground just filling up on RV essentials, and sometimes unnecessary road trip candy and Redbox DVDs. Whoops!
An ideal Wallydocking spot: opening up to a curb and near a patch of grass for Lucy to roll in.
Wallydocking has been one of our favorite unexpected experiences that we have accomplished during our journey to become Van life pros. Some people hate it, but we love it. It has enabled us to dictate our own schedule, knowing that we can roll in and out whenever we want.
While driving, we know we can always push a little farther on the map if there's a safe yellow-marked Walmart waiting for us. Most are open 24 hours, well-lit, and have security, so it's a place of safety for us when we're in a new place that we're unsure of as well.
We are grateful for the money and time that we have saved by Wallydocking, as we were able to use that on experiences and/or food instead. We know that no matter where we go we will always have a spot at Chateau Walmart.
John Nguyen: it it's going to go down to maybe 75 degrees by 10pm, we'll stay at the Walmart but start by parking not by all the other RVs, run our generator and AC to get the unit down to maybe 65 degrees, then go and park for the night near the other RVs, running fans. If you don't have a FanTastic brand roof fan (like a whole-house fan for your rig), get one installed, they are essential!
I would note that on the West Coast, I'd estimate 50% or more Wally's have signs posted saying no overnight stays. It is relate do the homeless problem noted by Dennis G.
We are very thankful that most Walmarts allow campers to park. We always shop at Walmart while parked there. I know in many places in British Columbia' s lower mainland it is not allowed which is sad. I think that is just the protectionism of the RV / campground associations. Sometimes there are not enough camp spots in rv parks and the only place to stay is a Walmart.
We actually don't come across this situation too often. If we see that the weather will be extremely hot or cold we will book a campsite so we can run our AC/Heater off shore power. If the temperature is consistently to one extreme we tend not to stay too long in that place and either head for water or head for mountains. As a last resort we will open all of our windows (we have screens) and turn on all fans to try and get good cross ventilation. We have a tiny fan that runs off USB power that we attach over our bed too.
We've stayed in countless Walmart's while criss-crossing the USA. We never stay at one if it's hot, that's the time to spend the money. We have our own way of using Walmart's as everyone works out what works for them. We definitely don't stay exclusively at Walmart's as there are lots of choices without using private RV parks.
Parking my RV in a Walmart lot has never occurred to me. I enjoy parks and nicer RV places like KOA. Parking in a parking lot would take a lot of enjoyment out of the whole experience. Parking in some one's driveway is another matter entirely. And driving at night doesn't sound all that enjoyable either.
With few exceptions, we simply don't use Walmarts in hot weather unless we expect it to cool down at night. We do have to run the generator a couple of hours in the morning to make coffee and because we have a residential refrigerator. The new RV generators are fairly quiet with much less noise than the big trucks idling all night.
I always ask when we arrive at a Walmart, unless there are several RVs in an area, if we can spend the night. I prefer ones that are open all night; I feel security is better. Down side is if you pick the night when they are cleaning (vacuuming) the lot; they start early.
Seems to me if you want to run your air conditioner near people you need to buy one of the new coaches with enough lithium battery power to silently run the air conditioner…….
It is common courtesy to always ask the manager if you can park, maybe while you shop in the store? A van-RV is less conspicuous, but a class A, B, or C is pretty obvious. If there are truckers present, I'm always comfortable parking overnight. Also, I've hear of one instance (a good friend of mine) who had their RV towed while on a day excursion in their tug … $600 to get it out of impound. Seems a county ordinance prohibited overnight parking even on private property (outside an RV park), due to homeless buying RV's and doing just that.
If one is Wallydocking in Texas/Arizona/NM/etc and it is 98 degrees outside and you can't run the AC, how does one cope with the heat inside the RV? Any strategies to cope with the summer heat while Wallydocking?

Security officers injured in Benoni cash-in-transit heist
Three security officers were injured following a cash-in-transit heist on Putfontein Road in Benoni on Friday afternoon.
ER24 paramedics arrived at 14:20 to find several security forces already in attendance.
THREE INJURED IN BENONI CASH-IN-TRANSIT HEIST
According to ER24, a light motor vehicle was found well alight in the middle of the road while a wrecked cash-in-transit vehicle was on the side of the road.
"The vehicle had been completely blown open in an explosion; debris spread across the veld.
"Medics assessed three men found walking around the scene and found that they had escaped with minor injuries. Fortunately, no serious injuries or fatalities were found."
The men were reportedly treated and later transported to nearby hospitals for further care. Local authorities were also on the scene for further investigations.
POLICE SHOT AT IN ROSETTENVILLE CHAOTIC SCENE
Eight suspects were shot dead during a shootout with police in an alleged cash-in-transit robbery in Rosettenville, south of Johannesburg.
Five policemen were wounded and two had to be airlifted on Monday, 21 February. The shootout happened near the South Rand Hospital.
Police Minister, Bheki Cele said about 25 suspects of which 8 were certified dead and 8 were arrested.

"Surprisingly without fail, except for one who comes from Botswana, they all come from Zimbabwe and KwaZulu-Natal. They were well armed, they all had mostly AKs about 6 or 7 AK-47s here, with double magazines, which means they are here for business. The surprising one is the one that shot the helicopter and injured the pilot.
"We are working with heartless people that are prepared to kill. I interacted with one of the suspects from KZN and asked him why they are doing this, he said it is because of poverty. I told him there is no such thing if they can afford AKs."

Melbourne producer NULL has unveiled his extended remix of Darcy Baylis' 'At Sloterdijk Station / The Force Won't Kill Me'.
This track was taken from Baylis' debut LP Intimacy & Isolation, with Null significantly re-imagining and reworking its core structure, transforming the song into an apocalyptic techno odyssey.
Null's 16-minute rework for 'At Sloterdijk Station / The Force Won't Kill Me' boasts a massive elaboration of the track's content, with the running time of Baylis' original comparatively clocking it at 6 minutes. This extended remix conceives an ambient, trance saga reminiscent to that of Eastern European deep trance music, evidently paying homage to Baylis' musical inspirations whilst maintaining some of his own signature sonic characteristics.
'At Sloterdijk Station / The Force Won't Kill Me' displays a kaleidoscope of aural architecture, fluctuating between sinister and soothing tones in transcendental torrents of complex synth riffs and percussive textures. Intermittent flickers of heavily effected vocal samples overlay the intricate strata of cosmic sounds, permitting the track to retain some level of human-esque feel in its otherwise otherworldly dimension.
Baylis' original composition remains jovial throughout its duration, while Null's musical vision steers the track through unnerving territories, building tension and unease toward an exhilarating sonic climax. The jubilant resolve of 'At Sloterdijk Station / The Force Won't Kill Me' is more than worth holding out for, and stunningly ties off this rollercoaster of a tune.
Null is constantly pushing the boundaries of his production beyond that of his previous works, so we envision that whatever comes next from his self-proclaimed 'electronic universe' will be both intense and incredible mesmerising.

Q: Implode array with array of glue strings I have a awkward need but I need to interleave an array with another array before imploding the result. I guess my better option would be less talk more example
Array number one
[0] => "John has a ", [1] => "and a", [2] => "!"

Array number two
[0] => 'Slingshot", [1] => "Potato"

I need to produce
John has a Slingshot and a Potato!

My question is can I do that with an implode or I must build my own function?

A: Simple Solution
$a = [0 => "John has a", 1 => "and a", 2 => "!" ];
$b = [0 => "Slingshot", 1 => "Potato"];
vsprintf(implode(" %s ", $a),$b);

Use array_map before implode
$a = [0 => "John has a", 1 => "and a", 2 => "!" ];
$b = [0 => "Slingshot", 1 => "Potato"];

$data = [];
foreach(array_map(null, $a, $b) as $part) {
    $data = array_merge($data, $part);
}
echo implode(" ", $data);

Another Example :
$data = array_reduce(array_map(null, $a, $b), function($a,$b){
    return  array_merge($a, $b);
},array());

echo implode(" ", $data);

Both Would output
 John has a Slingshot and a Potato !

Demos
Live DEMO 1
Live DEMO 2

A: Might be worth looking at the top answer on Interleaving multiple arrays into a single array which seems to be a slightly more general (for n arrays, not 2) version of what otherwise exactly what you're after :-)

A: Adapted from comment above.
Are you sure you don't just want string formatting?
echo vsprintf("John has a %s and a %s!", array('slingshot', 'potato'));

Output:
John has a slingshot and a potato!

A: $a = [0 => "John has a ", 1 => "and a", 2 => "!" ];
$b = [0 => "Slingshot", 1 => "Potato"];

foreach($a AS $k=>$v){
    echo trim($v).' '.trim($b[$k]).' ';
}

If you fix your spaces so they're consistent :)
You'd also want to add an isset() check too probably.

Children after hemispherectomy, TPO disconnection, and occipital lobectomy benefit from a complete evaluation from a neuro-ophthalmologist every year. If a neuro-ophthalmologist is unavailable in your area, an ophthalmologist (MD) or optometrist (OD) with experience working with neurologically complicated children may be helpful. Early diagnosis, coping strategies, and patient rehabilitation are critical after these surgeries.
Standard ophthalmic eye and functional vision examination, including assessment of acuity, binocular vision, oculomotor assessment (including evaluation of locomotion and exploration capacities), plus a visual efficiency examination to monitor acuity, strabismus, as well as tracking and visual stamina for near activities, fusion skills (converging/diverging), and reading efficiency. The assessment should also include evaluation of contrast sensitivity, processing speed, and contour integration. These evaluations generally may be done in conjunction with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) whose training focuses on the functional and educational activities which involve vision. The eye care specialist should be reminded to confirm the hemianopia and provide recommendations for reading, scanning, and safety at school. This assessment should also include nystagmus, strabismus, trouble with visual fixation, visual acuity, visual field and possible functional/compensatory strategies. The TVI would then take this information into the classroom.
Objective and visual field perimetry: The eye care provider should also perform a Goldmann perimetry test or a Humphrey threshold test. These are very challenging tests for a child to endure. More often in a child, visual fields are measured by confrontation; however, confrontation examination is not a 100% reliable assessment. It's not absolutely necessary because a complete contralateral field loss is a known result of these surgeries, which the doctor can document in the report.
A neuropsychological evaluation can help determine the presence of any visual processing disorder and help determine developmental concerns or other areas of need.
The child after hemispherectomy, TPO disconnection, or occipital lobectomy should receive a comprehensive educational evaluation in all areas of suspected disability, including vision. A Functional Vision Evaluation or Assessment (FVE or FVA) should be performed by a teacher of the visually impaired who is a special educator with additional training in how a visual impairment affects education. They are the bridge between the medical diagnosis and the way the child is affected in the classroom. In some cases, they will provided direct services, but more often consult with the classroom teachers to maximize the learning environment and suggest modifications and adaptations. (Please see our template letter "The Comprehensive Educational Evaluation After Hemispherectomy as an example).
An assistive technology assessment identifies what kinds of assistive technology may be most helpful for your child.
The functional vision assessment will help to determine how your child uses his/her residual and useful vision in everyday life, and to identify areas of concern in safety, navigation, and reading. Generally done by a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) within the school district, the assessment should include a combination of formal tests and informal measures which may differ depending on your child's age. The TVI will review your child's records, spend time observing your child as she/he goes through the day, and should interview you, your child, and the classroom teacher.
However, the school will usually want confirmation of the problems with eye control and CVI, including visual field loss, from an ophthalmologist or optometrist as well. You should have those completed assessments from your child's ophthalmologist completed before each school year begins.
The learning media assessment is another key assessment conducted by the TVI. It is used to find out which senses your child uses most to get information from the environment. Some teachers of students with visual impairments combine both the functional vision assessment and learning media assessment into one process.
If your child is already reading and writing, the TVI will also examine your child's literacy activities (the way in which she reads and writes) as part of the learning media assessment, as well as the materials (known as literacy media) that she uses. The teacher may also assess your child's reading speed, the degree of fatigue she may experience when reading, and how well she understands what she is reading. Based on this information, the teacher can make recommendations, such as whether your child would benefit from learning how to use a particular low vision or assistive technology device.
An O&M instructor is a professional who has specialized training in how to teach travel skills and concepts such as spatial awareness will conduct this assessment. The assessment itself usually involves a combination of interviews and observation to see if your child would benefit from formal O&M instruction. O&M assessments are conducted for children of all ages and ability levels, including children who are not yet walking, those in wheelchairs, and those who may never travel unassisted.
Some teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) are also O&M instructors as and are dually certified in both areas; however, although others have some basic knowledge in the area of O&M, they are not qualified to assess your child's skills and needs for O&M instruction unless they have received specialized training and hold certificates in both special education in visual impairment and in O&M.
Evaluate any O&M skills has previously learned such as protective techniques, sighted (human) guide technique, trailing, and use of the long cane.
Activities of daily living: Can your child store belongings independently? Can she use money to pay the bus fare or make a purchase at a store?
Social skills: How does your child interact with others? Does she know how to ask for assistance? When assistance is offered and she does not need it, does she know how to decline it appropriately?
Planning: What skills does your child have when it comes to planning a route, whether it is from her classroom to music class, from your home to the neighbor's house, or across town to the public library?
Literacy skills: How does your child make a note of information she needs during travel? Does she print or audio record a list of items she wants to purchase, information about the bus schedule, or emergency telephone numbers she can call if she were to become lost?
Use of optical aids and assistive technology: When traveling, does your child use low vision devices to gather information, such as a monocular to see a building number or a street sign, or a magnifier to read a print bus schedule?
Assistive technology (AT) refers to the variety of tools and devices that children with visual impairments (and other disabilities) can use to more effectively access their educational environment. An assistive technology assessment is done to identify which devices your child would most benefit from using. This can include any piece of adaptive equipment from something as low tech as a slant board to a high tech communication device such as a Dynavox or iPad with a special app. Correction of refractive errors (need for glasses) should be carefully assessed to be sure the visual acuity is maximized for any AT.
A comprehensive assistive technology assessment should review the need for any assistive technology devices or services (low tech to high tech) needed for the student to benefit from education, including the use of such devices in the student's home or in other settings. This helps reduce the academic demands on the child via these resources if possible so as to free up cognitive resources for richer learning.
A child after hemispherectomy, TPO disconnection, or occipital lobectomy should receive an AT assessment in conjunction with any other visual evaluation so that during these evaluations there is consideration and understanding of the significant visual field loss and other impairments which result from these surgeries. This ensures that the other evaluators use assistive technologies such as a stand/mount to position equipment in the optimal visual field, preferred colors, or reducing competing sensory information through their evaluations.
In addition, consider consulting with the child's occupational therapist when exploring assistive technology tools to take into account any motor challenges (such as hemiparesis after hemispherectomy.) Consideration should be made for the fact that the child only uses one hand to manage devices. How is the student going to access their AT tools in multiple classrooms when seated at a different desk? Is there a plan to have student carry equipment from place to place and set it up independently in each classroom, if possible, or will support staff be provided to do so?
Lastly, the child should be assessed in a quiet room without interruption. Because some of these procedure may be combined with others that remove or disconnect one auditory cortex (located in the temporal lobe and responsible for processing hearing and listening), children post-surgically almost always struggle with proper processing of sounds and words in noisy environments. A quiet room ensures they will not be distracted by environmental noise and give the best opportunity for accurate assessment.
The most successful AT assessments come with hands-on training for both staff and student, learning strategies, a viable implementation plan (with technology 'cheat sheets' if needed until tools become familiar), and AT goals that align with IEP goals.

Bassist/composer Mark Helias is seen regularly at venues in New York City ranging from The 55 Bar to Carnegie Hall. After his studies with Homer Mensch at Rutgers University and Yale School of Music, he embarked on an international performance career with the Anthony Braxton quartet in 1977. Since then he has enjoyed long musical associations with Edward Blackwell, Anthony Davis, Dewey Redman, Ray Anderson, Don Cherry and Gerry Hemingway.
Ten albums of his music have been released since 1984, including "Split Image" , "The Current Set" (1987), "Desert Blue" (1989) "Attack The Future", (1992) "Loopin' the Cool" (1995), "Fictionary" (1998), "Come Ahead Back" (1998) "New School" (2001). "Verbs of Will" (2004), and the newly released, "Atomic Clock",(2006).
A prolific composer, Helias has composed music for two feature films as well as chamber pieces and works for large ensemble and big band. He has been producing recordings for other artists on the Gramavision, Enja, New World, Sound Aspects, and Avant/DIW labels.
His trio, Open Loose with Tony Malaby and Tom Rainey, has become an archetypal improvising ensemble on the New York scene. Mr. Helias performs solo bass concerts and can also be heard in the innovative bass duo, "The Marks Brothers", with fellow bassist Mark Dresser. He teaches at Sarah Lawrence College, The New School and SIM (School for Improvised Music) and is committed to broadening the scope of musical education.
"This is a really strong free-jazz date from some of my favorite players on the New York scene. The music maintains an incredible energy and vitality throughout, whether they're playing with or without time and harmony. You just get the feeling that you're in the hands of pros when listening to this album; these guys know exactly what they're doing and they're damn good at doing it. The matching of the players is also right on. It's especially nice to hear how well Malaby and Eskelin compliment each other on the latter's guest track. A highly recommended date for all fans of innovative modern jazz."
Justin Glick WNUR
Squidco review
Helias's discography is a who's who of modern jazz and improvisation: Michael Moore, Evo Perlman, Oliver Lake, Yusef Lateef, Gerry Hemingway, Dennis Gonzalez, Marty Ehrlich, Anthony Braxton, Marilyn Crispellm Bobby Previte, &c, &c. Open Loose is his trio, and this is their fourth release under that name. Joined by Ellery Eskelin on one track ("Modern Scag") this is incredibly creative music that shifts from tight rapid playing to beautiful ballad work using modern playing and compositional techniques. Released on Helias' own Radio Legs Music label this is an excellent set of original compositions.

But I will try to tell you about the role of English in my life.
English is everywhere in our everyday life. On the doors of the shops we can see the signs "Open" and "Closed". Buying a new phone or a TV set we see instructions and manuals and menus in English. But most of all I need English when I work in the Internet, as the work with the Internet is an essential part of my business. We create web sites.
I also need English when studying new literature on business. New knowledge in my sphere comes as a rule from the English speaking countries. It's very important to be the first to receive this knowledge and to apply it in your work.
That's why learning of English in the course of the presidential program is so important for me.

The memory system is a fundamental performance and energy bottleneck in almost all computing systems. Recent system design, application, and technology trends that require more capacity, bandwidth, efficiency, and predictability out of the memory system make it an even more important system bottleneck. At the same time, DRAM and flash technologies are experiencing difficult technology scaling challenges that make the maintenance and enhancement of their capacity, energy efficiency, and reliability significantly more costly with conventional techniques. In fact, recent reliability issues with DRAM, such as the RowHammer problem, are already threatening system security and predictability.
In this talk, we first discuss major challenges facing modern memory systems in the presence of greatly increasing demand for data and its fast analysis. We then examine some promising research and design directions to overcome these challenges. We discuss three key solution directions: 1) enabling new memory architectures, functions, interfaces, via more memory-centric system design, 2) enabling emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies via hybrid and persistent memory systems, 3) enabling predictable memory systems via QoS-aware memory system design. If time permits, we will also discuss research challenges and opportunities in NAND flash memories.

Seeking Arrangements Korea
November 12, 2021 by local
SeekingArrangement is an online dating site that caters to luxury dating. In 2006, Brandon Wade, a graduate of MIT, founded Seeking Arrangement. It has over 40 million registered users. It uses a profile-style platform where both successful men and attractive women can submit information about themselves. Other members can view the information once it is uploaded and send messages to find out if they are compatible.
A website for seeking arrangement allows members to search profiles and find matches using the same criteria. This website also has the advantage of video chat so that members can interact face to face. The site allows members to customize their security settings. These include 2-step verification and photo validation. Background screening is another security feature. In addition, users can customize their preferences and filter out undesirable members.
Seeking Arrangement is one of the most popular dating sites on the internet. The site has over 40 million registered members spread across over 130 countries. Its population is mostly concentrated in the US and the UK. Its gender ratio is one woman to four men. It allows users to upload over 40,000 photos per day and send more than one million messages.
The website offers different membership plans, ranging from free to premium. These are usually more affordable over the long-term. A free trial is also available to try out the site before making a decision. You can also search for matches on the site without sharing any personal information.
App Seeking Arrangement is a dating application that allows you to meet single men and women. Available for iPhone and iPad. The official app store and the download page are both available. The current stable version is 1.2. The app has more than 40 million members.
The popularity of Seeking Arrangement has skyrocketed in the Chinese market. It is the country's most downloaded social network application, with more downloads that the top social networking sites such as Weibo or WeChat. However, its popularity has caused controversy because of its apparent violation of China's censorship system. While the app's creators claim that it is safe to use, the Chinese government has said that it violates its regulations.
SeekingArrangement offers a free version that lets users browse multiple profiles. They can also send unlimited messages if they wish. Premium members have access to advanced search filters.
When you use Seeking Arrangement, you can be assured that your privacy is safe. The company has a safety policy that makes it difficult to scam its users.

Seeking Arrangement is one of the world's most popular dating sites. It allows young women to meet older men looking for companionship and sexual pleasure. Although the site claims that it prohibits payment for sex, the site has been criticized for being a de facto prostitution hub. Among Uchitel's complaints, she claims Seeking Arrangement has been neglectful of her account and ignored her messages.
Seeking Arrangement was also accused of not updating their privacy policies or adding many new features. Users who deactivate their accounts are still receiving emails and messages from others, and they cannot unfreeze their profiles or delete them.
SeekingArrangement is a dating site that's completely free. It allows you to search through multiple profiles for free, and males can send up to 10 messages without becoming a member. You can hide your date of membership and your online status and show off your offline photos. In addition, the site notifies you when your messages have been read, and lets you highlight profiles you're interested in. You can also block people who aren't interested in you.

Aurélie Conforti, née le  à Aubervilliers, est une footballeuse française évoluant au poste d'attaquante.

Début de carrière, PSG B
Après avoir évolué dans le club de La Courneuve en Seine-Saint-Denis sans réelle ambition en débutant, elle rejoint l'équipe la plus huppée de la Région en 2008 afin de s'y faire une place, et, au fil des années, évolue dans l'équipe réserve. Durant deux saisons, elle sera nommée capitaine de l'équipe B.
Après cinq saisons passées dans les équipes du club, Camillo Vaz, l'entraineur de l'équipe première, la fera évoluer en Division 1, l'échelon national le plus haut lors de la saison 2010-2011,lors de deux entrées en jeu, contre Lyon et Yzeure. Aucun but marqué avec l'équipe première, mais plus de 21 réalisations avec l'équipe réserve.

Débuts en Division 1
Intégrée au groupe de l'équipe première, Aurélie Conforti effectuera la préparation de la saison avec le groupe, et s'avèrera très en forme. Plusieurs buts inscrits lors de la série de matchs amicaux sont à son actif (un doublé contre le Cercle Bruges, un contre Le Mans FC, un triplé contre Anderlecht).

Ask The Old Guy: Of Buffalo, buffaloes, and the future
CHARLOTTE — If there's anything clear from reading the mail this week, it's that the world needs more Christmas cheer. Or egg nog, maybe.
This has been a rough stretch for the Panthers, for sure. When you lose three straight in any fashion, fans are going to get a little cranky. And they are.
The Panthers knew this was going to be a project when they embarked on it last year. They did not anticipate being 5-8 right now, though, especially after starting 3-0.
There are things about the team at the moment that we suspected might have been an issue coming into the year, such as an offensive line that head coach Matt Rhule said in August at training camp was "like I-85, it's under construction."
There are things about the team we did not necessarily see coming, such as the Week 3 injuries in Houston which robbed the Panthers of Christian McCaffrey and first-rounder Jaycee Horn. Or, that they'd make a change at offensive coordinator before the season ended.
It's hard to tell at this very moment exactly how the next four weeks will unfold. But there are absolutely four more weeks, a stretch of games which on paper is one of the toughest in the league (with a day-after-Christmas home game against the Bucs, along with trips to Buffalo, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans). That's not ideal. But here we are, so let's dig into the mail and see what people are thinking.
What's the pitch to the fans to get them excited for next season? I don't see much light at the end of this tunnel. — Jeff, Henderson, NV
It's hard when a team is on a streak to see anything other than the losses as they stack up. But when I was a much younger man in the business, a wise old man told me that you have to be careful evaluating individual players apart from their circumstances.
There are good teams right now with bad players on the roster. And there are teams currently struggling which have good players on the roster.
It's not necessarily my job to sell the hope, but the thing I know that the coaching staff believes is that the progress they've made on defense this year has been significant, and the kind of thing you build on. Regardless of what else happens this offseason, going into next year with a core that includes Brian Burns, Derrick Brown (who played well last week after a get-your-attention benching), Shaq Thompson, Jeremy Chinn, and Horn and CJ Henderson is a strong base. And a healthy McCaffrey, along with DJ Mooreand Robby Anderson, is a collection of skill-position talent that other teams would enjoy.
Is there a lot of work to do? There is. Is it without hope? I don't think so. My perspective has been either skewed or forged by the fact that I covered 1-15 in 2001 and 2-14 in 2010. It can always get worse. It has been.
How confident are we in general manager Scott Fitterer to help the Panthers improve the offensive line over the next two years? O-line has been an Achilles heel plaguing the Seahawks for a long time with Fitterer being a key part of that roster build-out. Do we really feel he can turn it around here? — Mouli, Charlotte
It's a fair question, because the Seahawks have not been what you'd call dominant up front over the years.
What they have had is a defense with a lot of good (i.e. expensive) parts, and a quarterback among the best in the league (i.e. expensive). And by being good for the better part of the decade, they were usually picking in the range at which franchise left tackles aren't available in the draft.
At that point, it becomes a question of allocation of scarce resources, and the Seahawks have chosen where to spend.
What I have surmised about the Panthers' path forward is that this season has taught them that investing on the offensive line is beyond needed; it's essential.
Right tackle Taylor Moton's extension was the first step in that process. It will not be the last. They know they need to find starters, plural, next offseason. They will have the salary cap room necessary to spend in free agency. And they're looking at a top-10 pick in the first round at the moment, which will be another asset they can use in that quest.
Until they fix the offensive line, it's going to be hard to gauge the progress of any other part of the offensive operation.
Whether it's coordinator or quarterback or the running game, it's impossible to know if any of the rest of the plan is working until they can firm up the foundation.
Fitterer knows that. And so does everyone else in the building.
Hey! I've been a Panthers fan for about three years now (I'm 13), and I know it's way too early in the rebuild to be considering a playoff run. Not many teams go 5-11, and the next year goes to the playoffs. What we really need to focus on is getting a quarterback this offseason. — Jaelyn, Anne Arundel County, MD
Well, that too. Quarterback is definitely on the list too.
But it's refreshing to hear some long-range perspective from such a young fan. It's good to remember that building something sustainable can take time. Before the Steelers were really good for decades at a time, they were really bad. From 1933-1956, the franchise was 97-167-2 (.365 winning percentage). They started turning it around by hiring Buddy Parker (look him up, Jaelyn). They then stumbled briefly again before hiring Chuck Noll and setting the stage for five decades of consistent competitiveness.
The Panthers would love to find a long-term quarterback. Those are really hard to find, which is why they're expensive. The strategy has been to keep taking swings at it until they get it right. That will continue.
I mean, when Rhule mentioned Monday that Sam Darnold could be healthy soon and could be a possibility at some point this season, it just illustrates the commitment to exhausting every opportunity to evaluate players at the position.
Do you think there is any chance Cam Newton is the Panthers' starting QB for 2022 or 2023? — Hunter, Mooresville, NC
After commending Jaelyn for perspective, it's time to bring the focus back to something more immediate.
Newton's under contract for the next four weeks. He's been up and down since coming back. The Arizona cameo was thrilling, the Washington game a glimpse of what he could be. Since then, it's been less good.
With everything he's been through, from the injuries to unemployment for the first half of this season, it's hard to imagine any team committing to him right now as a 17-game starter for any point in the future.
The Panthers owe it to themselves to explore every option at quarterback, from the young to the old. I think Newton can play his way into consideration over the next few games, or not. But he was brought in as an immediate fix, and it's probably best to consider all the immediate evidence we can before getting too far ahead of ourselves.
There's part of me that wonders if he'd ever go for a Taysom Hill-type role. He's shown he's still very dangerous as a runner. But that's a former league MVP, and a future Hall of Famer (in my opinion), so it's not a simple request. But he was also at home for the first nine weeks of this season, so that could change the way people think about things.
Regardless of the future, I know Newton still has the ability to make every eyeball in a stadium focus on him a few times a game. He's got the gift of playmaking ability, and dramatic timing. The next few weeks could give us a clearer picture of how often he can summon it.
I watched the segment where Thomas Davis took pictures at the Washington game in Charlotte. Man, They looked awesome! Any chance he takes any more going forward? Or was it just a one-time thing? — Skip, Greensboro, NC
It was absolutely cool. And if you missed it, you can check it out below.
Sources close to me tell me there's a chance he returns to the sideline at some point, and with one home game left this season (Dec. 26), you'll have to keep your eyes peeled. It's possible.
The thing you love to see is Davis' passion, and as we've talked about here before, it's still neat to see the former players around. Regardless of their role, having a Thomas Davis or a Jonathan Stewart or a Brad Hoover or a Jake Delhomme or a Jordan Gross in the building is good for the community, because they're a part of our shared history as a city.
Why is there no "Jordan & Jake" this week? — Omer, Wilkesboro, NC
We can only apologize for the technical difficulties that kept the podcast home of the two franchise legends off the air last week.
It will return this week, I am assured by our crack broadcasting staff.
And as a way to make it up for taking the time to check, I'm making Omer this week's Ask The Old Guy Friend of the Mailbag. That means Omer will get the 20th piece of merch, now that we've started with me, Hal from Canada, Westray from Kershaw, Joseph formerly of Concord who's moving away for some big fancy job with a desk, Sunny from Houston, Adam from Germany, Long-Winded Donovan, Juan from Argentina, Wise Bob from Colorado, Newlywed Alex, Every Day Susan from Training Camp, Lynn from Lake Wylie, Scott With Good Taste in Music, Cory Who Got Right To The Point And Begged, Peter the Australian Punter Expert, Brad The King of Date Night, Shane Who Knows What's Up, Rich the Pickle Guy, and Eric with #SelfAwareness.
(Keep reading for merch updates closer to the bottom of this bag.)
I'm sure you'll get a lot of questions about the offense this week, so I'll ask one about the defense. Which defensive group has the most room for improvement down the stretch? Also, on a lighter note, which group do you think has improved most from last year? Last year's defense was a lot worse than this one, and I think the team overall is trending in the right direction! — Grant, Gahanna, OH
This year has opened the door to questions about the run defense, and though that's an all-11-guys problem, we tend to look at the defensive line.
When your bookend pass-rushers tip the scales at under 500 pounds (Burns and Haason Reddick), people are going to try you against the run. We mentioned here a week ago that the development of Yetur Gross-Matos would be important to watch, since a bigger end who can set the edge of your run defense is helpful.
But I'm also curious to watch Phil Hoskins over the next four weeks as well. The "Big Snack" only played six snaps last week, but he's a guy who has some presence about him, and the kind of long frame that can make him effective up front. If he continues to improve, he could absolutely be a useful part for the future.
Which group has improved the most is not a hard question at all.
Last year, they were dragging unemployed cornerbacks off the street and starting them. This year, even after losing Donte Jackson and Horn to injuries, they can still put a cornerback group on the field that includes Stephon Gilmore, Henderson, A.J. Bouye, Keith Taylor Jr., and Rashaan Melvin. That is, in a word, better.
I see Deonte Brown is active. Give him a shot. What are your thoughts? — Charles, Huntersville, NC
Considering the overall issues with the offensive line this year, there have been plenty of people wondering why Brown hasn't gotten more run.
The first part of the answer is that he's a sixth-round rookie. The second part is he was injured mid-season. The third part is, he's still learning the game, while learning to be a 330-ish-pound person instead of a 350-ish-pound person.
None of those are insignificant hurdles to clear.
The other factor that always comes into play with young players is that the natural instinct of all coaches (not particularly this staff, but the industry) to trust known commodities. As much as fans (and as an industry, personnel people) want to see new faces, coaches are always going to try to win the game in front of them.
To call it a tension overstates the case, but it's a fine line to walk between competing interests sometimes. My suspicion is that if we see Brown, it might be later this year, since Trent Scott was just activated and Michael Jordan could be back this week, giving them more experienced options. They know they'd like to see him, but the when is a more complicated question than you'd think.
Washington's bench-gate related question here. Which stadiums have the best/worst facilities for road players, staff, or reporters? — Hiro, Tokyo, Japan
The Cowboys taking their own heated benches to Washington last week was the kind of inside-football story which cracks me up, because teams are crazily detailed about their working conditions.
Most of the newer stadiums have a baseline of acceptability in terms of the working space, but there are some exceptions. The locker rooms are generally going to be smaller for visitors (your guest bedroom is probably smaller than your master, too), but some are particularly cramped. The visiting locker rooms in New Orleans are on the low-ceilinged and shall-we-say cozy side.
And while no one cares about reporters' working conditions, I can also tell you that since they renovated the Superdome and moved the press box to the top of the building — nearer the air conditioners — it's really, really cold up there. I'll probably take the same overcoat to Louisiana I take to Buffalo this week.
And it's also worth mentioning a couple of classic old dumps — Oakland and the old Candlestick Park. The biggest rat I've ever seen in my life was in the media dining area at the 'Stick. I swear I thought it was an opossum at first. And then it pulled a knife on me, before helping itself to something some reporter dropped on the floor. I was about ready to fight. I mean, that was a perfectly good hot dog. At the end of the day, I chose to be a considerate guest in his building. Discretion, valor, etc.
This is more of a statement than a question, As a Panther fan living in Los Angeles, the latest Panther news is limited. But I do read in regards to game strategy and what the Panthers need to do, what they have to work on but, at no time is there any mention of having fun. FUN is the cornerstone of anything in life. If not, then what's the point! — Alfred, Tujunga, CA
There's an element of "read-the-room" here. When a football team is 5-8, no one wants to hear whether the players are enjoying themselves or not. Players and coaches are still human beings, however, with the need for interpersonal connection and to blow off some steam every now and then.
But nobody wants to hear about it. Partially because there are some fans who complain when they see athletes during their offseason enjoying themselves, since they think they should be studying their playbooks in March.
On the other hand, here in the Mailbag, it is not only allowed but encouraged to keep it light sometimes.
And I think within the constraints of this space, it's also worth pointing out the power of community.
The people who come here every week to read and ask questions are tied together in a very particular way, as consumers of the same product. And while we hear an awful lot about what divides us as people, the citizens of the 'Bag are connected here.
Among the original Friends of the Mailbag are Every Day Susan from Training Camp, and Peter the Australian Punter Expert.
Susan's a retired schoolteacher from South Carolina, who shows up to camp, as the name suggests, every single day. That's why she got one of the first prized T-shirts WHICH SHE WORE TO THE GAME THIS WEEK! HOW COOL IS THAT?
Peter lives on another continent, so he can't get here all the time. But he's as much a part of this place as she is. Peter was also just blessed with a beautiful baby boy named Kye, who is already training to become the Panthers' punter in 2042. And to be honest with you, I hope I'm around to cover his rookie training camp.
The thing these two people have in common? They're going to be lifelong fans of this football team, for better or worse.
This is like our little circle of life. I dig it. It makes it feel a little better around here, knowing there are people all over the world who care about the same stuff, and maybe to a certain degree, about each other.
Did you hear the one about the guy in a bar admiring the buffalo head on the wall? Barman says: "That one killed my brother" "Oh, was he hunting it?" "No, he was sitting on the bench, and it fell on his head." — Paul, Charlotte
See, this is what I'm talking about. This is great. Paul read last week and knows that while I enjoy a good barroom buffalo head on the wall, I've always wanted to walk into a bar and see the back half of the buffalo instead.
Try the veal, Paul. You're one of us.
There's no better place to leave this 'Bag than some good buffalo humor. See you next week, provided I don't succumb to frostbite.

Rockers Slam Donald Trump's California Forest Fires Response

Rockers including Axl Rose and Rod Stewart slammed U.S. President Donald Trump for his response to the latest round of California forest fires.
This year's round of wildfires is reported to have been the worst on record, with nearly 7600 blazes having burnt nearly 7000 square kilometers of land. The three current fires, which triggered a state of emergency declaration, have caused at least 25 deaths, left hundreds missing, destroyed more than 6700 buildings and forced more than 250,000 people into evacuation.
Instead of sending messages of support to the victims and the firefighters engaged in trying to contain the disaster, Trump threatened to withdraw Federal aid, tweeting, "There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!"
His comment drew sharp criticism from across the spectrum, with many pointing out that Congress controls the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's budget in any case. Rose tweeted, "Um...actually...it's a lack of federal funding that's at the "root" of the purported forest mismanagement. Only a demented n' truly pathetic individual would twist that around n' use a tragedy to once again misrepresent facts for attempted public/political gain at other's expense."
Stewart said, "Mr. President, while people's homes are burning, while lives are being lost & while firefighters are risking their lives, California needs words of support & encouragement, not threats or finger pointing & accusations. Where is Winston Churchill when you need him?"
Meanwhile, Nikki Sixx described the current fires as the worst he'd ever seen, saying, "I am finding the lack of continuous coverage on local #LosAngeles TV disturbing. Without our community texting and calling each other so many of us would be outta the loop." Tommy Lee, his former Motley Crue bandmate, shared actor Michael Rapaport's angry (and NSFW) video response to Mr. Trump's statement.
