The Plymouth Raiders were made to look ordinary Sunday, as the BBL leading London Lions picked apart the city side in a dominant show for force, loosing 67-93 at Pavilions.
After surrendering a slim lead close to the end of the first quarter, the Raiders were firmly on the backfoot as the visitors ran away with a landslide victory.
"We were playing a very good team in the London Lions, they've only lost two games in the BBL this season for a reason, they play really tough.
"There's still a couple of things we wanted to do well tonight, that includes rebounding the ball and we didn't do that and they killed us on the ball, then also take care of the basketball and we didn't do that either.
"So, put those two together and we have a bit of a disaster of a game really.
"It's just one of those things where the guys have to want to go and rebound the ball, they've got to want to box-out, one through five, they've all got a responsibility to do that.
"We wanted to try slowing them down, but you have to be scoring, you have to be getting to the free-throw line and rebounding the ball, if you're not doing those things it's then hard to turn around and slow the Lions down.
Play speed was ferocious after the opening tip was gobbled up by Donte Nicholas for the Raiders to drive early. Both squads traded blows and missed in equal proportion, but it was clear early that the game winner would be determined by the side who controlled the blistering transition game best.
One sector the Raiders were slow to warm to was defensive rebounding, with the Lions proving themselves dominant under the hoop, which proved to be a mercy for them after some less than stellar shooting. Those rebounds continued to hamper the Raiders and the half ended heavily against them in this category at 11-4 rebounds won.
The Raiders were first to etch a lead, though, pulling ahead by four, but the Lions were quick to pounce and keep up, leaving much of the opening 10 a close affair with both sides separated by a single possession.
The Lions secured their own first quarter lead with three minutes remaining, and begun to punish their hosts as shooting began to tighten up with shots consistently falling their way, pulling ahead to a comfortable 17-24 lead, a lead that wouldn't be challenged for the remainder of the game.
The pace filled play rumbled on into the second quarter, and the Lions, now playing with their largest margin, started to stifle the Raiders in zone defence, closing any avenue of attack to the rim. Multiple times the hosts would find themselves struggling to turn the corner on the stout defence leading to a couple of shot clock violations.
Josh Wilcher added some heat to the Raiders floundering attack, pounding home a three from range which proved to be useful in snapping the stagnating Raider score line.
The Lions, however, seemed to be playing too far ahead of themselves at times, especially when trying to run scripted plays on the break. Lions Guard, Jordan Spencer, was skilful in drawing the Raiders defence on to him as his small frame darted inside, destined for a layup, only to flick the ball outside to an open look which often missed. Shots also failed to fall home from smart passes inside, and the Raiders finally managed to win some face under their own hoop in securing loose ball, but couldn't take advantage of the ensuing vital possessions, allowing the visitors to keep ahead.
Apart from another well executed three from Wilcher, nothing from the Raiders attack stood out in the final minutes of the quarter as the side struggled to find an answer for the dominant defence.
28 points in the paint, and 10 from turnovers boosted the Lions to a 13-point lead at the half, led by Brandon Peel. The Raiders themselves were led by Nicholas and Wilcher with 11 and eight respectively.
The second half opened to a couple of major injuries that left both squads scrambling. Raiders captain Zak Wells was the first to fall after finding himself on the receiving end of an accidental blow to the head with his Lions counterpart. Then, just a couple of minutes later, the Lions were robbed of their scoring leader Peel after a muddled defensive play placed strain on the forwards knee.
In terms of play, the bruising interactions would continue from both sides with physicality being shown in all corners of the court, especially when securing up any loose ball.
Both sides were also equal in shooting, and the score line did little budging until the Raiders briefly put on a spurt to draw within 10 for a couple of minutes before the Lions resumed their methodical game plan.
Shaun Shelton found success in the third, drawing two shooting fouls whilst nailing the extras, but in a game of matchups, the Lions were in control over the rest of the Raiders' offence.
Even without the presence of Peel on the court, the Lions continued to score where necessary to keep the scoreboard ticking, both bolstering their position and further demoralising their hosts the same time.
Already lacking depth at centre with the loss of Wells, the Raiders lost any potency in the paint as they tried in vain to feed the ball over the arc of Lions defenders to Rashad Hassan. The trick was never lost on the Lions who simply plucked the ball before any threat could develop.
The Lions would continue to execute a well formulated game plan through the remainder of the game, cutting out the Raiders inside attack, and forcing them to shoot from beyond the arc. Being forced into one-dimensional play, the Raiders were easy to predict, and with no real consistent three-point shooters on the court, were easy to shut down, paralysing any competition until the final buzzer rang.

A beautiful Scottish mansion with a rainforest-inspired atrium in its centre
Country Life June 18, 2018
Credit: Savills
Tillycorthie is the Aberdeenshire mansion of a former tin magnate with a magnificent central atrium that must be seen. Phoebe Bath takes a look.
Oh, Aberdeenshire! Home to the Cairngorms and Balmoral Castle, who can resist its cultural richness? With a haven of wildlife on its doorstep, Aberdeenshire provides the perfect abode for bird-spotting, hiking, or simply being the ultimate flâneur.
And nestled in this picturesque Scottish countryside, flanked by luscious green foliage, sits the inimitable Tillycorthie Mansion House, on the market via Savills at £1,500,000.
If you are on the lookout for a property in which you can indulge in a host of local activities, then Tillycorthie, located near the village of Udny some 11 miles north of Aberdeen, will tick a lot of boxes. It's a recently-restored country gem that could work as a home or possibly as a commercial venture, sitting as it does within nine acres of grounds.
This country house, somewhat reminiscent of a Spanish villa, is interesting for its atypical structure – notably in its design, form and material. There is extensive use of concrete, unusual in a house of this size, coupled with classic Scots Baronial details. That combination saw it described by architectural writer Ian Shepherd as a "bewildering amalgam of the high-tech and the sub-baronial" in his book on the architecture of this area.
No element of the home demonstrates that more than the feature at the centre: a glazed courtyard atrium, filled with all sorts of tropical greenery that makes you feel just a little like you've wandered into a botanic garden glasshouse.
The house was constructed in 1911 for James Rollo Duncan, a Bolivian tin magnate and partner of Penny & Duncan Bolivia, Tillycorthie was one of the first concrete mansions to be built anywhere in Britain.
During the Second World War the Duncan family moved to Orkney before returning to Tillycorthie a few years later, in May 1942, and then finally moving to Aberdeen.
Upon entering the property, a sense of splendour is at once induced; natural light floods the first reception room through the pitched cantilever style glass room, which acts as the canopy to this rainforest-inspired vestibule.
Beautifully-polished parquet floors, panelled doors and cornicing are in profusion: at its eastern extremity, the corridor leads into a meticulously carved library, complete with ornate glass fronted display cases.
The large dining room befits the image of charming country estate, along with a generously sized kitchen and extensive range of bespoke cabinets, bordered by granite work surfaces. Luxury appliances include those by Wolf, Sub-zero, Siemens and Fischer and Paykel.
A sweeping staircase joins the ground floor to the second, opening up onto a selection of large suites. The master bedroom, located in the east wing, embraces light and size; bay and side windows accentuate streams of light, and the double-ended bath, en suite dressing room and walk in shower cater for every need. Further rooms include the Purple Room and the Chinese Room, the latter ornamented by a corner bath and separate shower.
In the opposite west wing can be found the principal bedroom, with a rear bay window and en suite shower room. The west wing offers the ideal space for independent and multi-generational living, aided by a further bedroom, butler's bedroom, butler's kitchen and an informal sitting room – "cosy" – and bathroom.
The entire lower level provides a diverse space and remains partially above the ground to enjoy the most of the natural light.
In keeping with the abundance of facilities throughout the property, the ground floor is well equipped with a catering kitchen, large storage room, a refrigeration and freezer room, as well as a magnificent 3,000 bottle capacity wine cellar.
Two Seismic rooms, historically used for academic purpose by university students are untouched with their five original Seismic tables. A gym and bedroom/office complete this floor, with a stuning spiral staircase, winding from the east wing, snakes its way skyward.
Extending onto the external tower space, a roof top terrace provides a magnificent vista which itself glorifies the restored Tillycorthie Mansion House, proffering views that span for miles across unspoiled Aberdeenshire countryside.
Tillycorthie is for sale through Savills at £1,500,000 – see more details and pictures.

Artist transforms old farm equipment into incredible animal sculptures like none you've seen
Recreating the wild wild west out of discarded farm equipment, South Dakota-based artist John Lopez's amazing metal sculptures will blow your mind! Check them out below:
Eco-friendly and full of personality, these welded figures perfectly capture the iconography of the American West — a bison, a horse with a plow, a Texas Longhorn — a past reconfigured out of recycled materials.
Lopez began his career as a bronze sculptor, but realized the versatility of scrap metal when he forged a family grave for his deceased aunt. It creates a unique aesthetic, a kind of mishmash punk sensibility in his beautiful and imposing artwork.
It pays respect to the past while also playing with the idea of renewing and reconfiguring familiar imagery into something completely different. Where have you seen a cowboy riding a dinosaur before?
"My favorite part about these pieces is the texture," explains Lopez. "I just start grabbin' stuff from the pile and welding it, in and if you weld enough of the same thing on over and over it creates this really cool texture that I've never seen in these kinds of pieces before. And I think that's what draws people in."
Blurring the line between organic, artificial, and symbol, Lopez's art is sure to leave an impact! It's striking how well they blend into the Midwestern scenery.
What did you think of these fantastic sculptures? Let us know in the comments below!

Nigeria may have won the FIFA U-17 World Cup a record fourth time but their last outing in the United Arab Emirates two years ago still evokes memories as the West Africans head to Chile to defend their title.
The 'Class of 2013' guided by Manu Garba played football with an uncommon élan which bowled over everyone from the start to the end of the tournament where they were crowned world champions, following the trail of their illustrious predecessors of 1985, 1993 and 2007.
The enterprising Nigerians who were losing finalists at the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in in Morocco early in 2013, left nobody in doubt about their ambition to conquer the world again with a blistering start of their campaign with a 6-1 spanking of Mexico, then defending champions in the Group F opener at the Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain.
But the Nigerians were jolted to the reality that the World Cup at whatever level is not a tea party three days later in their next game against Sweden. The Scandinavian debutants shocked the West Africans with a 3-3 draw at the same venue.
The Golden Eaglets bounced back in style in the ultimate Group F match against Iraq at Al Rashid Stadium in Dubai ending the match with a flattering 5-0 win courtesy a brace from Musa Yahaya and a goal each from Musa Muhammed, Chidiebere Nwakali and Chigozie Obasi. The result saw Nigeria top the group with seven points and a date with another Asian side, Iran at the Round of 16 in Al Ain, where the West African triumphed 4-1.
Nigeria saw off Uruguay 2-0 at the quarters thanks to a Taiwo Awoniyi double.
Like the proverbial saying 'what goes around comes around' goes around; so was the case with the Golden Eaglets as fate yet again brought them face-to-face with group phase rivals, Sweden and Mexico at the semis and final respectively.
Sweden coach Roland Larsson was graceful in defeat after his side were thumped 3-0 by the West African for a place at the grand finale.
"I think we played against the world champions today; if you are going to beat Nigeria, you have to play without mistakes and take your chances," Larsson admitted.
Yet the talk before the Final Match at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi was a possible revenge for the defending champions, Mexico who felt humiliated after an earlier 6-1 massacre in the hands of the Golden Eaglets at the group stage.
An own goal by Javier Aguirre coupled with second half strikes from Kelechi Iheanacho and Musa Mohamed landed the Golden Eaglets the ultimate for a record fourth time.
"Of course, I have won this trophy before. I was an assistant coach when Nigeria won the trophy in 2007. But winning it on Friday (November 8, 2013) by beating Mexico would be the best moment of my coaching career," a very excited Garba told a packed audience at the post match conference.
Apart from winning the trophy on offer, Nigeria remarkably swept almost all the individual honours with the Golden Ball (Best Player) and Silver Boot (second top scorer) going to Iheanacho and Golden Glove for goalkeeper Dele Alampasu. The team also claimed the Fair Play trophy.
Can the 'Class of 2015' replicate the successes of their predecessors at the forthcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup taking place in Chile between October 17 and November 8?
The team is now under the watch of former African Footballer of the Year, Emmanuel Amuneke who incidentally was assistant coach to Manu Garba when the Golden Eaglets won the title two years ago in the United Arab Emirates.
"I think it would be wrong to compare this team with the last team that won the World Cup in the UAE though I was part of that process. We will do our best in the defence of our title in Chile," noted Amuneke.
The Golden Eaglets are housed in Group A with hosts Chile, Croatia and USA.
For the records: Where are Golden Eaglets of 2013 now?
How time flies for the Nigeria's 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup squad after their remarkable success in the United Arab Emirates?
So much has happened to the careers of the lads being regarded as the country's 'Next Golden Generation' with the likes of Isaac Success (Granada) and Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City) already enjoying the spotlight respectively in the Spanish La Liga and English Premier League.

Suspicion Surrounds the Case of British Journalist Found Dead in a Turkish Airport Bathroom
Travelers check an electronic flight board for their time of departure and gate August 29, 2015 at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey.
Robert Nickelsberg—Getty Images
By Nash Jenkins
A British journalist and activist was found dead in a bathroom at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport early Sunday morning in what the Turkish media has labeled a suicide, the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle reports.
Russian passengers found 50-year-old Jacqueline Anne Sutton, a former BBC correspondent, hanging by a pair of shoelaces in a cubicle. At the time of her death, Sutton was serving as the acting Iraq director for the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR), a British nonprofit group that seeks to train and empower local journalists in conflict zones.
The Turkish press was quick to claim that Sutton took her own life — Andalou, a state-controlled news agency, asserted that she missed a connecting flight to Irbil in Iraq and was distraught that she could not afford a new ticket — but in the wake of her death, the journalist's friends have galvanized to call for further investigation into what they say is a suspicious death.
"Knowing Jacky, the story doesn't stick. She wasn't going through a depression. She wasn't broke. She has dealt with missed flights before. I strongly doubt that this narrative was what really took place," Amani Hammad, Sutton's former colleague at the U.N. Development Programme, said to Deutsche Welle.
Hammad also criticized the Turkish media's "lack of professionalism," citing its revelation of Sutton's death before her family learned about it.
The IWPR's executive director, Anthony Borden, has demanded a "full investigation" into Sutton's death. The agency is no stranger to the untimely deaths of its employees: last week in London, Sutton attended the memorial service for Ammar al-Shahbander, the former head of IWPR's Iraq operation, who was killed in a car-bomb explosion in May while leaving a Baghdad café. Sutton was appointed to the office left vacant by his death.

I am 69 and a regular runner. I have run 3 Half Marathon this year (PB 2:13:07) plus a number of 10K, 5miles etc. I am really thinking of stepping up to a marathon. My last was over 30 years ago!. I can run a HM fairly comfortably.
My question is what sort of minimum mileage should I be able to do in one run to consider a Full marathon worth training for. I don't need a marathon running plan yet as I will look at that after I have decided to go for it. Any thoughts?
The fact that you are a regular runner and that you can do a half marathon comfortably means that you can definitely do a marathon with the right training. If you are already running at least 2-3 times a week and you can run an hour and you don't struggle with injuries, then you are already in a strong position.
During marathon training you will most likely never do a run longer than 2.5-3.0 hours as past that time, it becomes counterproductive. The main thing to be aware of, is that as we get older we need more rest and recovery time and it is very important to listen to your body.
Whatever training plan you choose, make sure it fits in with what your goals are and also don't be afraid to adjust the plan. I learnt my lesson with my first marathon in that I picked a plan that was perhaps better suited to a 'younger me', I didn't listen to my body when it was fatigued and I ended up being injured and not able to do the marathon.
I hope that helps and do let me know how it goes!

When all of your media and assets work in harmony, the impact is significant. The PESO model approaches your media and marketing strategy in a way that combines your paid, earned, shared and owned media, resulting in a highly effective, brand-strengthening amount of exposure and coverage.
Earned media encompasses non-paid media coverage and "word-of-mouth" buzz about your brand, product or services on various social media platforms. Simply stated, earned media is when an outside party communicates about your brand, product or services to their audiences.
The writer, blogger, editor (and publisher) has decided your organization is worth a story. Without hiring a writer or designer, or paying for a spot, your efforts are recognized and published by a third party source, and free from any compensation requirements. As a consumer, it is easy to imagine the credibility this type of coverage creates.
Paid media is the term used to describe when a client pays to reach specific audiences via tactics such as ads, sponsorships and paid SEO.
Owned media consists of any content self-published on the brand or company's social media pages and websites, examples can include customer testimonials, case studies, white papers, blog posts and videos.
When executed in conjunction with paid and owned advertising and marketing efforts, earned media will have an enormous impact. The end result is a successful combination of converged media, where paid, owned and earned media all work in harmony with a much greater chance of success.
Splendor operates cooperatively with an in-house, strategic partner on marketing initiatives like this. For small to medium-sized businesses who are serious about effective marketing, we can put together a comprehensive program, tailored to a specific budget, that accomplishes a well-rounded combination of all three types of media and maximizes their benefits to you.

'Love Is Blind' Lawsuit Updates: Jeremy Hartwell Suing Show
The producers of Netflix's hit romance series Love Is Blind are facing a class-action lawsuit filed by season 2 contestant Jeremy Hartwell. In the complaint, the reality TV alum issued multiple allegations against the show, "forcing contestants to work drunk, starved, sleep-deprived and underpaid," according to a July 13, 2022, press release issued by Payton Employment Law, PC, viewed by In Touch. Netflix and Kinetic Content did not immediately respond to In Touch's requests for comment.
Keep reading to find out everything we know about the Love Is Blind lawsuit.
What Are the Accusations Against Love Is Blind?
On June 29, 2022, Cartwell filed a proposed class-action lawsuit on behalf of all contestants on Love Is Blind with the Los Angeles Superior Court.
"They intentionally underpaid the cast members, deprived them of food, water and sleep, plied them with booze and cut off their access to personal contacts and most of the outside world," Hartwell's attorney, Chantal Payton, said in a statement within the press release. "This made cast members hungry for social connections and altered their emotions and decision-making."
Payton also claimed that participants' contracts "required contestants to agree that if they left the show before filming was done, they would be penalized by being required to pay $50,000 in 'liquidated damages.'"
Ser Baffo/Netflix
"With that being 50 times what some of the cast members would earn during the entire time that they worked, this certainly had the potential to instill fear in the cast and enable production to exert even further control," Hartwell's attorney added.
The contestant also alleged that the "only drinks that defendants regularly provided to the cast were alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, energy drinks and mixers. Hydrating drinks such as water were strictly limited to the cast during the day."
"It was like an out-of-body experience for him, and he realized that he was open to emotional manipulation," managing partner of Payton Employment Law, Laurel N. Holmes, claimed. "He left the show feeling like a zombie, and he was told he looked that way too once he got back to Chicago."

According to the lawsuit, contestants who worked for the production in Los Angeles County were paid a flat rate of $1,000 per week, while participants worked 20 hours per day and seven days per week. As a result, they were paid $7.14 per hour, whereas the L.A. minimum wage is $15 per hour, the lawsuit alleges.
The filing also claims that the cast members were not allowed to take all of their meal and rest breaks, but producers also allegedly confiscated their personal items, such as ID cards, credit cards, wallets and cell phones.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that producers withheld the key to the hotel rooms that contestants were required to stay in and accused the producers of informing the hotel staff not to provide any food to the reality TV stars if they requested it.
"The exploitative working conditions served to control the participants' conduct and elicited irrational behavior for entertainment value in the final project," Holmes added.
The Love Is Blind Lawsuit Includes Allegations Against Other Reality TV Shows
"Love Is Blind is not the only reality show that exploits its cast members by misclassifying them as independent contractors," Payton alleged. "Reality show production and casting companies exert a lot more control over the contestants than the law allows for a worker to truly be considered an independent contractor, especially in shows where cast members are supposedly searching for love."
In her statement, Payton also called out other romance series, including Married at First Sight and The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On — (which was introduced by the Love Is Blind creators) — and claimed, "The use of substantial amounts of alcohol is apparent and excessive."
"You see cast members constantly have an alcoholic beverage in their hands or within arm's reach, and they are shown drinking a lot more than eating, and there are instances of individuals being visibly drunk," she added.

Q: Yii reload page after CGridview Delete OK, this is frustrating.
All I simply want to do is reload the page after a CGridView Delete action.
As the Delete is performed VIA Ajax, I cannot seem to reload the page.
I need to do this as I have other data on the page that is dependant on the data that I am deleting.
I have tried in the view
'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
'header'=>'Delete',
'template'=>'{delete}',
'buttons'=>array(
    'delete'=>array(
        'success'=>'function(){
            window.location = location.href;
        }',
    ),
),

Also in the delete controller as well
echo CHtml::script("
    window.location.reload();
");
Yii::app()->end();

Any help appreciated.
Regards

A: You can use afterDelete parameter (attribute) which exists in CButtonColumn class:
'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
'header'=>'Delete',
'template'=>'{delete}',
'afterDelete'=>'function(link,success,data){
    if(success) { // if ajax call was successful !!!
        if(data == SUCCESS_TEXT) {  // SUCCESS_TEXT the text which you output in your delete action on success
            window.location.reload();
        } else {
            alert("Error! not deleted.");
        }
    } else {
        alert("Error! delete request failed, see console for mor info");
        console.log(data);
    }
}',

News & Runway
By the Numbers: Racial Diversity at New York Modeling Agencies (2013-2014)
Nika Mavrody June 24th, 2014
Models of colors ranked on The Hot List on Models.com / Images: IMAXtree
"The last two seasons, I've seen more young women of color, a greater variety of ladies than I've seen in years," said New York designer Tracy Reese as part of a Glamour live panel on the state of runway diversity which took place this March, following the NYFW Fall 2014 shows. "There are a lot of new faces that are very promising."
The discussion expanded on a series of ongoing conversations about race in the fashion industry, largely sparked by former modeling agent Bethann Hardison's Balance Diversity campaign, which launched in September 2013. Hardison herself participated in the panel, which was hosted by Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive, and also included fashion critic Robin Givhan.
Asked to expand on her remarks, the designer said that she had noticed "a fair improvement" with regards to modeling agencies' commitment to diversity: "If I broke it down by agency," Reese hedged, "I'm sure there would be some agencies that are doing a lot better than others. But I've definitely seen improvement."
We decided to see for ourselves: what is the state of diversity at NYC modeling agencies?
We counted the number of models of color included in show packages over two seasons of shows: Spring 2014 (which took place in September, when the Balance Diversity campaign first launched) and Fall 2014 (which took place in February). We worked exclusively with the show packages which were available on Models.com, for the sake of consistency and accessibility. (One agency said that the package that went out to casting directors was not the same one which was available online, but we could not verify that.)
For each agency and each show package, we calculated the number of models of color relative to the total number of models included in the book.
We chose to use "models of color" as an inclusive term referring to any non-white model — black, Asian, non-white Hispanic, Native American, mixed-race, etc.*

We hoped to get a sense of overall industry trends, not compare agencies or point fingers. However, some clear standouts emerged.
Average number of models of color for Spring 2014 and Fall 2014
Fusion Model Management, a small boutique agency, had the strongest numbers overall, with an average of 46% non-white models per show package.
"Please note, we take on models that we believe we can develop and market," said Jody Gordon, the founder of Fusion, when I reached her for comment. "Models are not discriminated on their ethnicity. The truth is, it's tough finding great models, period. It's a competitive business and since we are so boutique, we don't always get the models we want, due to industry politics, etc."
Fusion represents about a dozen models each season; other small agencies do not have similar percentages. For example: Silent NYC, which included seven or eight models per show package, had zero models of color for both Spring 2014 and Fall 2014. (Silent NYC did not respond to my request for comment.)
Wilhelmina, a larger agency that included 20-30 models per show package, is another standout. The Women's board director, Roman Young, told me that his agency doesn't fall prey to the "propaganda that ethnic diversity isn't what designers or magazines want," noting that "this past season was the first season that more than just one designer or casting director actually REQUESTED ethnic models to account for greater diversity."
% Change of models of color from Spring 2014 to Fall 2014
We also examined whether agencies represented more models of color this season over last September, when the Balance Diversity campaign launched. In most cases, the percentage of change came down to a small handful of models, and is not necessarily statistically significant.
For example: both Wilhelmina and Fusion, which both had the highest average percentage of models of color, also had the highest percentage decrease from one season to the next.
"Some girls aren't always available to do Fashion Week, so that definitely changed the percentage this past season," said Fusion's Jody Gordon.
On the surface, Next Model Management and One Management appear to have made the greatest improvements; I recorded an 8% uptick in non-white models for both agencies. I counted 4 models of color in Next's show package for Spring 2014 out of 48 models total; the following season, the agency included 7 models of color out of 42 models total. One Management's numbers show a similar trajectory: for Spring 2014, the agency included 5 models of color, 43 models total; in February, the show package featured 8 models of color out of 41 models total.
In aggregate, combining numbers from all 19 agencies with available show packages for both seasons (Spring 2014 books weren't available for The Society and Frame Model Management), representation of non-white models improved by only 1 percentage point over the previous season. I counted 93 models of color out of 512 models total for Spring 2014; that's 18.16% non-white models. For the following season, I logged 97 models of color out of 506 total models, which works out to 19.17%.
Arzuaga Fall 2014 / Image: IMAXtree
Those numbers aren't surprising. Jezebel, which started compiling data on runway diversity in Fall 2008, found that the number of non-white models cast in NYFW shows increased by only about a single percentage point on the Fall 2014 runways over the previous season, despite the heightened scrutiny.
Frame Model Management was one of the few agencies to openly acknowledge its low numbers and suggest that it was making efforts to sign on new models of color: "Sadly this breakdown is true regarding Frame's show package diversity this past season," said booker Eric Granwehr. "However, as we are a very new agency (this past season was our first official full-fledged season), we are still in the midst of assembling a very strong board of new faces that are ready to take on the New York market. It's really just a luck of the draw sometimes when it comes to domestic and international agencies proposing who they deem as their strongest girls that are suitable for NYFW. Sometimes this includes a selection of several models of color, but sometimes it doesn't."
Fusion, another boutique agency, but one that's leading the industry with its diversity numbers, echoed the sentiment when I asked founder Jody Gordon why so many of her peers were lagging behind: "There is definitely more work and a greater demand for Caucasian models. It's also tougher to find great ethnic models."
*Because this is a loose definition and we evaluated on a case-by-case basis, there's room for error in our findings.

Q: error in double value char *format_double_trans_amount(double amount)

{

   char amount_array_n[25];

   printf("\nReturn ---- %s",amount_array_n);

   return amount_array_n;
}

int main()

printf ("\nformat_format_double_trans_amount: %s ************", format_double_trans_amount(1000.123400));

}

the result in the main method gives dump value could anybody please help me on this?
output:
Initial  value *
Double amount * 1000.123400
Final ........ 1000.123400
Return ---- 1000.123400
format_format_double_trans_amount: /ò# ($$Ð/Òð

A: You are returning the reference of a local variable which is what causing the problem.
char amount_array_n[25];

amount_arra_n is a character array residing on stack which gets invalidated up on return of the function call.

A: amount_array_n being local to the function gets destroyed after the function returns. Using the returned value would invoke Undefined Behaviour.

A: You are returning a pointer to amount_array_n at end of the function format_double_trans_amount(), however the scope of that stack allocated array is limited to the body of the function. Trying to access that memory area after exiting the function will result in undefined behaviour (at best rubbish displayed and at worst a crash).
The quick and dirty fix to your program is adding static to amount_array_n:
static char amount_array_n[25];

That would make the array an effective global variable. Still, not a very elegant solution, just a quick fix for your test program.

A: When your function returns, the character array it allocated is deallocated, so when you return a pointer to that array, the pointer becomes invalid. Returning it is undefined behavior, which means the compiler can do anything. If you're really unlucky, it'll work, and you won't realize you have a problem until years later when your whole program breaks and you have no idea why. In most cases, you get garbage values or crashes.
If you want the function to return a pointer to an array, you need to dynamically allocate it, or pass in a buffer (and the buffer's size) for the function to write into.

A: amount_array_n is local variable, when you return its pointer to main function, it won't have a valid address that's why you get that output.

Version 02 was created from Version 01 on 30/04/07 by James Lawson. The variable N was defined using an equation from the Sarkar and Lauffenburger 2003 paper. Version 03 was created from Version 02 by James Lawson on 01/05/07 and now includes the pharmacological simulations described in the paper. This file is known to read in PCEnv.
Currently, drug design and development takes, on average, 12 years and costs more than 800 million US dollars. Much of this time and money is spent on experiments and drugs that fail. There is very little mechanistic understanding as to how the various levels of biological complexity - from molecular interactions, to cellular function, to tissue organisation, to whole organs and beyond - are integrated. Hierarchical mathematical models provide a method for integrating this data. Specifically, in the model described here, Sarkar and Lauffenburger focus on the case of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF).
GCSF is of great clinical importance, especially for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The drug is injected into the blood stream where it then diffuses to the bone marrow and binds to its receptor GCSFR on precursor cells, inducing them to replicate and differentiate into mature neutrophils. In this way, the neutrophil count of immunocompromised patients is significantly increased. However, the bone marrow precursor cells engulf and degrade the GCSF, a negative feedback mechanism that reduces its potency. In addition, mature bone cells express the receptor GCSFR, and they bind, engulf and degrade the drug from the bloodstream. Thus, there is a significant negative feedback loop that reduces the lifetime of the drug.
The mathematical model developed by Sarkar and Lauffenburger relates extracellular GCSF depletion to the molecular properties of the ligand and the cells expressing the GCSF receptor (see the figure below). The authors then further integrated this cell-level model into a physiologically relevant pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model.
Cell-level trafficking model for the GCSF/GCSFR system.

A fantastic early dessert apple Discovery is beautiful with smooth, red skin. Juicy, crisp, pink, sweet flesh makes this a popular choice. The flavour of Apple Discovery is often likened to strawberries so it makes the ideal sweet apple for children. The Apple Discovery is tough and suited to Northern or more difficult areas. Crops of juicy red apples ripen in August and should be eaten straight from the tree. Apple Discovery is from Essex in 1949. As a group B apple, any apple in group A, B or C will act as a good pollination partner when located within a half mile radius.
In addition to the traditional tree form, we offer Discovery apple trees as a pillar cordon on a dwarf rootstock that is perfect for keeping in patio pots.
Discovery is a group B apple tree and requires a suitable pollinator within a half mile radius. Apple trees should be spaced according to their rootstock, for example an MM106 (semi-vigorous) rootstock will require approx. 4.5 metres between trees, whereas an M27 (very dwarf) rootstock will require approx. 1.5 metres between trees.
Our pot grown Discovery apple trees can be planted at any time of the year but bare root ones need to be planted between November and March. Remove weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole then dig a hole slightly deeper than your root mass and approximately 3x as wide. To help your tree establish more effectively, apply root grow. Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole. Using 50% of the original soil and 50% compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree. We recommend planting fruit trees using a stake and tie and a rabbit guard.

Child raped because "sanctuary" Philadelphia released criminal ICE wanted [With Comment by John]
Last night, Department of Homeland Security head Kirstjen Nielsen appeared on Sean Hannity's program to discuss the outrageous story of a girl who was raped by an illegal immigrant released from prison instead of being held, as ICE had requested. Mike Brest of the Daily Caller reports on the interview, which I didn't see.
Here's what Hannity said:
Let me tell the audience about a case that we just found out about and this is out of the city of brotherly love, this is out of Philadelphia. Previously deported immigrant from Honduras raped a child after Philadelphia authorities ignored ICE detainers and released him, pled guilty to illegal entry. Anyway, it goes back to this particular man, Juan Ramon Vasquez, 45.
Then after local criminal charges against him were dropped, Philadelphia officials did not comply with a detainer by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was released, after his release he was rearrested and convicted for the rape of a child, and unlawful sexual contact with a minor.
Nielsen responded:
It could have been prevented and it should have been prevented. We owe the American people better. I mean this is a perfect example of when jurisdictions decide not to cooperate with federal law enforcement. We put our communities at risk.
Philadelphia mayor James Kenney was captured on video dancing with an aide after a federal judge ruled in favor of the city's sanctuary city policy, finding it reasonable and appropriate. I wonder whether this poor excuse for a mayor is still dancing after Vasquez committed rape. I wonder whether the victim and her parents think Kenney's obscene policy is reasonable and appropriate.
Unfortunately, Democrats are driven by their long-term electoral strategy — maximize the number of illegal immigrants, enable most of them to become citizens (or otherwise vote), and ride their votes to electoral victories in order to make America a "democratic socialist" country. This strategy overrides whatever slight concern these politicians might have for public safety.
The Democrats' long-term strategy has a fair chance of succeeding. However, it risks a major backlash, as we saw in the 2016 election.
Democrats shouldn't assume that the disaffected folks who made the difference in electing Trump are the only category of voters who, in the future, might vote for Republican presidential candidates in reaction to lawlessness by once-and-future illegal immigrants, criminals released from jail too soon pursuant to "sentencing reform," and a host of other pet Democratic projects that run counter to the interests of law abiding Americans. Demographics matter, but law and order matters too.
JOHN adds: Amen. I would add that those most likely to be hurt by the Democrats' fecklessness when it comes to law enforcement are not the upper-class whites who run the Democratic Party. The Democrats could be in for a nasty shock when they learn how Hispanic and African-American citizens feel about crimes like rape and murder that are needlessly inflicted on them because of the Democrats' political strategies.

WENDY: Oh I was just. . .
When I was a kid, I thought when people left, when I didn't see them, they just went someplace and stood in corners.
They didn't live. They just shut off. I was the one was alive.
I guess we proceed through life on that assumption.
DON: I wish we talk some business, Dad.
ACKERMAN: How's your business then?
DON: Doing fine. Gettin off the ground.
ACKERMAN: Sellin boats to farmers.
DON: I don't sell boats to farmers.
ACKERMAN: Who else in Cedar Spring?
ACKERMAN: Least your wife's got a job. Always a need for schoolteachers. People always gonna be dumb.
WENDY: It's so strange, the stuff people believe.
There was a station in Omaha did this thing, I think it was April Fools.
They ran this announcement that the phone company was cleaning out its lines, the telephone lines were full of soot, so they had to cleanem out, they asked everyone to put plastic bags on their phones, to catch the soot.
And people did. Even a college, a shopping mall, they thought the phones would blow soot.
DON: Wendy, just . . . shut up.
WENDY: I always act so stupid.
We don't visit much, because for a while we weren't close by, we'd come on holidays, and then I sit there and say something dumb.
It's hard to marry into a farm family. He cooks for her, brings her an aspirin, but Don says all his life he's just beat her down. Some people are almost not human.
I don't understand people like that. We always had books in the house, and Dad was always cheerful, even despite tragic things, like my brother died. . .
The terrible dreams are. . .
There's like a shadow there, outside your field of vision, you can't make it focus. Or the water you're swimming. . .
My seventh graders, they watch these movies, it's all about something's there, it's coming, but nobody sees, but there's fire inside the walls, and they flick a switch. . .
My father was always cheerful. He was a dentist. He never talked about teeth.
ACKERMAN: Whatta you talkin that stuff?
ACKERMAN: They thought you was nuts.
ACKERMAN: They think you're nuts.
ACKERMAN: Good cake. Try it.
ACKERMAN: More wet. They dunno. You can't trust'em.
They got this radar and satellites, maybe it's this, maybe it's that, all mixed up.
ESTHER: Bout the chicken house.
ACKERMAN: Dad? You talking bout Dad?
ACKERMAN: It wasn't a chicken house.
ACKERMAN: It was a one-room house. Whole house for himself. We scrubbed it out, we painted it, we took his meals out to him. It wasn't a chicken house.
ESTHER: He thought it was.
ACKERMAN: He wouldn't live in the farm house.
ESTHER: We wouldn't let him.
ACKERMAN: We said you want to live here, you can't mess all over, you gotta follow the rules. It was his choice. He coulda followed the rules. It wasn't a chicken house.
ESTHER: It is if you think it is, and you're livin there.
Is a concept in the church, which if you're on the stewardship committee, means takin care of the property, or the loot.
But which is a helluva lot more than that, because by stewardship, what they say, we create the material things that serve the spirit, whatever you call it.
Whatever you call it, God, or Love thy neighbor, that stuff.
Which I believe in, and we go to church, and I don't always agree with some of the stuff they say, like how you should run your life.
That's not the province of religion, I don't think.
Religion is Jesus and God.
And stewardship. And the point is it's the same with the farm.
These movies where the farmers are losin the farm, and they're real noble, how they love the land. That's not him. He took the farm away from his old man, let him die in the chicken house. Money-grabbin Pennsylvania Dutch.
But stewardship. . . There's a point bein made here. . .
I have trouble thinkin. I get so damn. . .
We're impelled into ways which we're not responsible for, because one generation and the next, it's like a digestive process. You don't think about digestin your food, it just happens. Mouth chewin. Big red mouth.
But we're talkin stewardship. Major responsibility for the world.
DON: Dad, there's a time for everything.
ACKERMAN: I told you specifically. I said no.
DON: You didn't say specifically no.
ACKERMAN: I forbid you to talk to the agent.
DON: But I went ahead and you didn't say nothin.
ACKERMAN: I didn't know you went ahead.
DON: How did I know you didn't know?
ACKERMAN: You didn't tell me.
DON: Somebody mighta told you. I figured, maybe somebody told you, but you didn't say nothin, so I figured you didn't care.
ACKERMAN: When I say no it means no.
DON: Well then stick to it.
ESTHER: I wanta know what's happenin to me.
ESTHER: Kill me. Kill me, Frank.
ACKERMAN: We done all right.
Moved in here, I built the whole back.
You member, the stairs was over there, didn't go to nothin. I put somethin up to go to.
South field, I cleared that, they said you'll never grow nothin, I made that grow. I stopped the wash-away.
I try to be good to you.
Time we went to that restaurant, they didn't even have a counter, you couldn't understand the waiter, some kinda Dago, five dollars for a shrimp? Member that? Walked outa there. Don was a little baby.
All little stuff. There in your head.
They say now you're sposed to love each other. Don't get married less you do. Then you don't, you get divorced. Hit her cross the face, you get divorced.
I must never loved her. If I had, I'd left her when she got like that.
I took care. I bought her a wig. I fed her. I cleaned her off.

Q: FiPy system of coupled non-linear PDEs - Error in convection coefficients Edit: Problem is being discussed on Github(https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/issues/883)
I am currently learning how to model in FiPy. I am trying to reproduce a model from a paper on oxygen evolution in porous electrodes. I keep getting the error that the convection terms require a vector as a coefficient. Also, I am not sure if such a complex coupled model can be sovled with FiPy.
The system of differential equations describes the formation and transport of oxygen in a porous electrode in 1-D.
The code is below, here are links to the equations (reputation not high enough to post as pictures directly). I want to solve for the electrolyte concentration c, the oxygen concentration cO2, the current i2 and the electrolyte potential phi2.

I am not sure when I need to express the simple gradient of my solution variabel as a convection term. For example in equation 3. Should I write is as coeff * cOH.grad or ConvectionTerm(var=cOH, coeff = coeff)? Even though I write the coefficients as vectors using double square brackets, I get the error message that it needs to be a vector.
If I write the gradients in x simply as cOH.grad, then I get the following error:
TypeError: The coefficient must be rank 0 for a rank 0 solution variable.

I learned that the coefficient in the term ConvectioTerm needs to be in the derivative, so d(coeff*coH)/dx. In equation 3 the factor in front of dcOH/dx, let's call it f, also depends on my solution variable. I saw in this post that this can be written in the form of a convection term and a source term:
ConvectionTerm(var=cOH, coeff = f) - ImplicitSourceTerm(var=cOH, coeff = f.grad)

But when i want to couple the equations I get the following error:
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Thanks a lot for your help and for taking the time to read this and going through it.

'Why did Chelsea sell him?' - Nathan Ake's Bournemouth header against Southampton baffles fans
A header from the defender certainly got fans in west London wondering what might have been.

He's regarded as one of the hottest prospects to come through Chelsea's academy in recent years, and Nathan Ake is certainly giving fans a headache.
The Dutchman was one of the top graduates from the west London club's youth set-up but was sold on to Bournemouth in 2017.
This was due to the lack of potential first team opportunities with the Blues, meaning he was better off moving elsewhere.
Gary Neville's back-handed compliment to Chelsea and his verdict on Frank Lampard's starlets
But there's no doubt that Chelsea will regret letting him go.
Ake has really come of age since moving to the south coast and has established himself as one of the first names on Eddie Howe's teamsheet.
Such has been his impact, many expected the defender to move on over the summer with a switch to one of 'the big six' tipped to make a move for the starlet.

However a move didn't materialse.
But that hasn't deterred the defender who once again showed his class in the south coast derby against Southampton on Friday night.

Q: JavaEE 1:1 Unidirectional Relationship I am confused about how the JPA handles a 1:1 unidirectional relationship when I auto generate my tables from my entity classes vs. how I would make those tables if I was creating the SQL tables myself.
My question concerns how the foreign keys are set up.
Assuming I have a Customer entity and an Address entity like this:
@Entity
public class Customer{

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    @OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private Address address;

    //setters and getters
}

@Entity
public class Address{

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    private String streetName;

    //setters and getters

}

If I generate the sql tables from these two entity classes then the Customer table will have a foreign key column referencing the Address table.
Is there a way to have a OneToOne unidirectional relationship where the JPA sticks the foreign key on the target table(the address table) instead of on the Customer table as it does in my code example, or do I have to make it a bidirectional relationship and show more explicit ownership with the @Mapping annotation to achieve this kind of table structure?

A: To have the foreign key appear on the other table for a 1-1 unidirectional relationship you would need to switch the 'owning' side: place customer in Address and remove address from Customer. Then the foreign key for customer would be in the address table.

A: First of all, you have to map your address_id(or something like that) from the Customer entity. For example using below code, you are referencing the Address from the Customer.
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;

While deleting any entry from the address table, you must first delete the entry from the Customer table in order to avoid the foreign key violation error. Then you can delete from Address table. JPA doesn't handle this relationship while deleting any row from table.
