Clint Dempsey's nipple is playoff ready. Are you?
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports
If you've been under a rock the last week -- or perhaps you live in the 62% of the country that doesn't have Univision Deportes -- then you would've missed a terrific start to the 2015 Some Car Company MLS Playoffs. Fear not, though, because we here at The Mane Land have decided to keep you up to date and privy to all the latest and greatest information in something we're going to call "The Mane Land MLS Playoff Roundup."
Reminder: The MLS Playoff system is a bit of its own monster. The knockout round was played this past week, pitting the bottom four seeds in each conference in one-off games that saw the winners advance to face the two highest seeds in the conference semifinal stage. The first legs of those semifinals were played on Sunday, and the highest scoring team on aggregate in each matchup after next Sunday's second leg will advance to the conference final round. Note that ties go to the team with the highest number of road goals. If you're a visual person, here's a link to the playoff bracket.
Eastern Conference Semifinals
New York Red Bulls 1 - 0 D.C. United
After taking care of business at home against a New England Revolution squad that limped its way into the post season, D.C. got the privilege of hosting the Supporters' Shield winning New York Red Bulls in a postseason edition of MLS's second oldest rivalry (behind the California Clasico Classic between LA and San Jose, no I don't count the "Brimstone Cup").
The first leg saw the regular season champs take a 1-0 lead in the series with a key road goal from a Dax McCarty header on the end a well-worked set piece. If you like tactical details from a guy with a Dutch accent, Russ Thaler would like to introduce you to Thomas Rongen who has the breakdown of the goal.
Stat to know: D.C. leads the all-time postseason series, 7-2-2
Prediction: New York takes care of business and advances to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Columbus Crew 1 - 2 Montreal Impact
Montreal stomped their Canadian rivals Toronto FC, 3-0, in the knockout stage. In what was a typical Toronto defensive performance, the Impact scored all three goals in a matter of 21 minutes in the first half and advanced to face the second-seeded Columbus Crew, which ended the regular season by dominating D.C. United, 5-0.
The first leg saw Montreal continue its winning trend of late behind goals from captain Patrice Bernier and Costa Rican international Johan Venegas. C-Bus got the all important road goal from Federico Higuain, and set themselves up nicely for what should be a terrific second leg back in Ohio.
Stat to know: Didier Drogba has 12 goals and one assist in his 13 games for Montreal.
Prediction: Montreal gets a goal on the road and advances to the conference final.
Western Conference Semifinals
FC Dallas 1 - 2 Seattle Sounders
Seattle dispatched of its playoff nemesis and the defending champion LA Galaxy in the knockout round in no small part due to LA's atrocious defending. Omar Gonzalez, Steven Gerrard, Donovan Ricketts, A.J. DeLaGarza and Leonardo all deserved game balls for their contributions to Seattle's 3-2 victory.
Seattle's opponent in the semifinal round is FC Dallas, and the Sounders nearly bit the bullet in the first leg after Dallas' budding star Fabian Castillo scored on a lightning quick counter in the first half. Seattle answered in the second with spectacular goals from Austrian international Andreas Ivanschitz and Clint Dempsey, the latter of which was a spectacular free kick.
Quote to know: "Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't," Clint Dempsey said of his free kick goal. Thanks for that, Deuce.
Prediction: Oscar Pareja seemed confident in his postgame comments saying, "The series is open, and we wait for them in Frisco." Dallas seals the deal at home, winning 2-0 and advancing 3-2 on aggregate.
Vancouver Whitecaps 0 - 0 Portland Timbers
Portland won what has to be one of the wildest playoff games ever in its knockout round bout against Sporting Kansas City. The match ended 2-2, and saw the penalty shootout go all the way down to the goalkeepers. Adam Kwarasey was the better of the two, scoring his penalty while saving Tim Melia's. If you missed it, stop what you're doing and check out the highlights. With that the Timbers advanced to face their Cascadia rivals in the Whitecaps.
The first leg ended scoreless at Providence Park, with Portland nearly taking the late winner when Max Urruti's curler ricocheted off the post in the closing minutes. Heading into the second leg in British Columbia, both teams have the bit between their teeth.
Stat to know: Vancouver has won the most Cascadia Cups since its inception in 2004 with five. Seattle and Portland have won four and three, respectively.
Prediction: Portland bags an away goal in the second leg and advances on a 1-1 aggregate scoreline.
Do you disagree with any of these predictions? Let us know in the comments section!
Happy Playoffs!

New light and audio installation at St Michael's Cave
Photo by Eyleen Gomez
By Chronicle Staff Share
An immersive light and spatial audio installation at St Michael's Cave will aim to enhance the Gibraltar Nature Reserve visitor's experience, the Gibraltar Government has said.
Three years ago, the Government requested expressions of interest regarding the development of the sites on the Upper Rock.
Local content creation company Wright Tech Media, in collaboration with Pixel Artworks, specialists in light and pixel technology were successful in overseeing the developments.
"The resulting experience 'The Awakening', at St Michael's Cave features an unforgettable journey through Gibraltar's natural history using projection mapping technology, lighting design and immersive audio," the Government said.
"The cave is a unique space for this technology-led experience."
"The entire project sympathetically showcases the beauty of the cave while uncovering the layers of Gibraltar's natural history."
Christian Wright, Director of Wright Tech said: "This is the jewel in the crown of Gibraltar's tourist product, so it was important to include major stakeholders in its development as a privately funded project. This site belongs to the people of Gibraltar and will remain free for residents to enjoy."
Creating a new experience for visitors was not the only facet in the development of 'The Awakening'.
"We wanted to not only reinvigorate Gibraltar's tourism product but reengage the local population and create a community project, education is always the best way to do this," Mr Wright added.
St Bernard's First School worked alongside the developers and the Government added that the project has helped entice children of all ages to discover their own heritage and history through onsite deep dive signage and a repository of free assets to download via the official St Michael's cave website.
These resources focus on science, geology and history of the Rock in order to promote Gibraltar Studies through meaningful and tangible skills and knowledge acquisition.
"We feel extremely fortunate to have been given this wonderful opportunity to work on educational resources for 'The Awakening' experience', said Head Teacher Sonia Lopez.
The Government said this initiative ensures schools have a range of personalised educational resources including animations, slideshows, fact sheets and experiments centred around our very own St Michael's Cave.
"These resources focus on science, geology and history of the Rock in order to promote Gibraltar Studies through meaningful and tangible skills and knowledge acquisition," the Government said.
"This spectacular new experience will not only revolutionise the quality of tourist attractions in Gibraltar, but through our schools we are already beginning to see a kindling of excitement and awe in the rich and fascinating story of our iconic Rock."
"Two and a half years in the making of extensive research and expeditionary measures took place to make sure all aspects of the technology in use are fit for purpose and customised to the unique environment of the cave."
The launch of 'The Awakening' at St Michael's Cave is set for later this month.

Donald Trump Says He's "Always Liked" The "Worst President In History"
And no, he's not high-fiving his bathroom mirror
Donald Trump hasn't always given the impression that the previous incumbents of his office have much to teach him - witness that painting where it looks like all the Republican presidents are laughing at his jokes over a poker game - but it seems that he's turned a corner.
Trump apparently received a "beautiful letter" about trading relations with China from former president Jimmy Carter and the two chatted, prez-to-prez, on the phone on Sunday. A White House statement released yesterday was very warm: "The President has always liked President Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter, and extended his best wishes to them on behalf of the American people."
Which is nice, isn't it? Humble, respectful, affectionate. The exact opposite, basically, to how Trump has treated Jimmy Carter for the last decade or so.
Former President Jimmy Carter is so happy that he is no longer considered the worst President in the history of the United States!
Trump tweeted in 2013 that Barack Obama's time as president would leave Carter "so happy that he is no longer considered the worst president in the history of the United States," which might have been news to the ghosts of Millard Fillmore (responsible in part for the Civil War because he was too meek), James Buchanan (described by a biographer as the man who "came closer to committing treason than any other president in American history") and Warren G Harding (once said, "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here").
Then there was that other tweet in 2014: "Of course I don't think Jimmy Carter is dead - saw him today on TV. Just being sarcastic, but never thought he was alive as President, stiff!"
There were other attacks too. "Obama has been truly, you could say one of, but I think you could almost say I think he has now superseded Jimmy Carter as the worst president in the history of this country," Trump told Sean Hannity in 2016. He worked in a similar dig during a chat in 2014 with Howard Stern about how Barack Obama's method of walking down stairs was unpresidential. Normal chat.
"I don't think he should be running down the stairs, I mean he's bouncing, and running down the stairs," Trump said. "And I don't think it looks very 'Presidential'. But of course, he knows it's not, you know, but he's not much of a President. Look, he is making the happiest person about President Obama, and his Presidency is Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president ever."
Carter's been far more measured on Trump, though when Stephen Colbert asked him in March 2018 whether he'd been too nice to be president, and whether America actually wanted "kind of a jerk" in the White House, he replied: "Apparently, from this recent election year. I never knew it before."
Trump's Batman Audition Tape Immediately Rejected
He's probably best known in the UK for his peanut farming and starting a speech in Newcastle on his first overseas trip as president with "Howay the lads", and is very much not dead. He's 94 and, since George HW Bush died, he's the oldest living president and has had a bit of a reappraisal over the last few years.
A 2017 poll of presidential experts by C-SPAN ranked Carter highly for his work on equality, his vision and his moral authority, which obviously are far less important than his ability to lob completely unwanted advice into conversations about how to save 12th century French cathedrals from destruction by fire.
So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!

Vyveshivayuschee device
B66F7 - Lifting frames, e.g. for lifting vehicles; Platform lifts (for lift-truck platforms B66F0009060000)
B60S9/02 - for only lifting or supporting
B60S5 - Servicing, maintaining, repairing, or refitting of vehicles (vehicles adapted to carry a workshop for servicing or maintenance B60P0003140000; servicing rail locomotives B61K)
The invention relates to a device for maintenance of wheeled vehicles. The device includes a base with a treadmill for a vehicle, the two supporting-vyvalivaya element rigidly mounted on the base and having the opportunity to interact with the beam axle of the vehicle. Each element comprises a rack rectangular or square cross-section and a removable top, made with the working face, which is applied to the lubricant. The edge of each element is directed in the direction opposite to the movement of the vehicle when it is set on the service, and is located opposite the tip. Each element is equipped with a stop for contact with the beam of the vehicle, the upper portion of each supporting-vyveshivayuschee element installed on the corresponding rack with adjustable height position. Rack support-vyvalivaya elements mounted on the fixed cross beam can travel along it. The upper portion of each supporting-vyveshivayuschee item is made in longitudinal section in the form of an oblique line with a sharp front and a straight rear corners and the public under the left and right wheel post of the axle of the vehicle, each recess width overlaps the width of the wheels of the vehicle. On each upper part of the emphasis is on the possibility of its installation in an upper position above the working face of this part, and the bottom is at or below this edge. Deepening can be equipped with protective covers. The invention provides a simplified design. 1 C.p. f-crystals, 2 Il.
The invention relates and maintenance of vehicles, in particular to the structures hoisting and diagnostic devices for maintenance and repair of wheeled vehicles. Designed to alternately display the front and rear axles of vehicles and wheeled tractors with wheel formula 4 4, and also for marking the front, middle and rear axles of these vehicles with wheel formula 6 4 and 6 6. Can be used for maintenance and repair of machinery both in the hospital and in the field.
Lifting devices are widely used for maintenance of trucks, tractors and other vehicles. Using these devices, machine post, in whole or in chechenitsky, hydraulic and mechanical lifting devices [1-5].
A common shortcoming of these devices is that they are complex. In addition, the lifts [1-4] are driven from the power plant.
The closest technical solution, selected as a prototype, is vyveshivayuschee device with a support wedge, consisting of a base; two reference-vyvalivaya elements rigidly mounted on a supporting surface with a treadmill and having the opportunity to interact with the beam axle of the vehicle. Each of these items placed on the rack; made with the tip pointing in the direction opposite to the movement of the vehicle when installed on the service, and with emphasis in the form of a ledge [6].
A disadvantage of the known construction is that the hanging bridge is accompanied by an increased friction of the beam on the working faces of the supporting-vyvalivaya elements. In this regard, there are higher energy costs of the process hanging.
The objective of the invention is the creation of energy-efficient lifting device of simple design.
To solve this problem in vymeshivaem device containing osyh on the base and having the opportunity to interact with the beam axle of the vehicle, and including each rack of rectangular or square section and a removable top, made with the working face, which is applied to the lubricant, with the edge directed in the direction opposite to the movement of the vehicle when it is set on the service, and located opposite the tip, a focus for contact with the beam axle of the vehicle, the upper portion of each supporting-vyveshivayuschee element installed on the corresponding rack with adjustable height position, the rack support-vyvalivaya elements mounted on the fixed cross beam can travel along it, referred to the upper part of each support-vyveshivayuschee item is made in longitudinal section in the form of an oblique line with a sharp front and a straight rear corners and the formation of the horizontal working faces on each line treadmill made to deepen respectively for left and right wheel post of the axle of the vehicle, having in longitudinal section the shape of an isosceles trapezoid facing the base, forming with the sides of the trapezoid obtuse angles, down, and each recess width of the foam coasters reference-vyvalivaya elements with the possibility of installing girder bridge on the working faces of the supports, and with the possibility of removing the bridge from these stands when the overrunning wheel of grooves on the bearing surface running track, and on each upper part of the emphasis is on the possibility of its installation in an upper position above the working face of this part, and the bottom is at or below the face.
Deepening can be fitted with protective caps.
The invention is illustrated in the drawings, where Fig.1 shows vyveshivayuschee device, General view, Fig.2 - the same, top view.
The device consists of two supporting-vyvalivaya elements rigidly mounted on a supporting surface of the base 1 between the lines treadmill 8, and two recesses 2 respectively for left and right wheel post bridge machine made one for each line of the above tracks. Each element consists of 7 hours of rectangular or square cross section, the upper part of which is made removable in the form of the stand 3 in the form of a parallelepiped with one of the upper horizontal working edge and edge directed against the movement of the machine when it is installed on the service (the direction of movement of the machine shown by the arrow). In longitudinal section, the stand 3 is of the form l is, opposite the edge attached to the stop 4, made with possibility of installation in two positions: at the top - above the working face of the stand 3 and the bottom is at or below the face (lower position of the stop 4 is not shown). For regulating the stand 3 in height it is installed on the rack 7 with the possibility of vertical movement along the guide rails 6, which are rigidly attached to the cradle 3. In rails 6 between the stand 3 and the rack 7 is provided shims 5, and between these guides and the side faces of the rack - gaps. For adjusting the position of the reference-vyvalivaya elements across the width corresponding to the track service machines, front 7 can be installed on the transverse beam (not shown) to move it in the longitudinal direction. When this beam is still installed on the base 1 between the lines treadmill 8. In addition, the hospital wishes reference-vyveshivayuschee elements through rack 7 can be mounted in the base 1. Field 7 hours or beam under these racks can be similarly installed in the ground. Each recess 2 is a longitudinal cross-section the shape of an isosceles trap is analisemos service. The deepening 2 located relative to the stand 3 with the possibility of installing girder bridge machine on the working faces of the supports 3 at the time of rolling of the wheels with the support surface of the track 8 in the recess 2, as well as the possibility of removing the bridge from these stands when the overrunning wheel of the recesses 2 on this track. In addition, recesses 2 are provided with a removable protective covers (not shown) that are mounted over the recess 2 at the level of the surface of the base 1.
The hanging of the front axle of the vehicle, such as a car, is as follows. Pre (if necessary) adjust the position of the supports 3 height spacers 5 so that the upper horizontal face of each stand 3 was slightly below the bottom of the girder bridge. The working faces of the supports 3 is applied grease. Remove the cover from the recesses 2. The machine runs its course on the treadmill 8 in the direction of the arrow. A beam bridge is over the working faces of the stand 3. At this moment its wheels under the action of gravity roll down from the supporting surface of the treadmill 8 in the recesses 2, without touching their bases. At the same time due to the driving force and the inertia of the vehicle b is egenie. The vehicle moves forward. Under the action of the driving force of the wheel slides out from the recesses 2 on the supporting surface of the treadmill 8: the beam bridge, rising, is removed from the stand 3. Hanging out of the middle, and then the rear axle carried out in the same way. To do this, move the stop 4 in the upper position and, if necessary, adjust the position of the supports 3 height. Then the car continues to move forward, hung out the middle bridge. After his service lowered the stop 4. Take the wheels of the middle axle on the base surface of the treadmill 8 and set the stop 4 in the upper position. Then the car again move forward - hung rear axle. At the completion of the stop 4 lead in the top position. Produce the service of another machine or recesses 2 closed lids.
The proposed device is energy efficient and has a simple structure. The process of posting is transient and lasts for a few seconds, which is due to the fact that the device is equipped with two anchor-vyveshivayuschee elements in the form of supports with a horizontal working faces, a two recesses made on the lines of the treadmill in the form of an isosceles trapezoid, with obtuse angle to the working face of the stand, and after service - removing beams with supports. The hanging bridges is in turn under the action of the driving forces of inertia and gravity service machines. The device can be applied both in the hospital and in the field.

Philip Morris, the third largest tobacco company in New Zealand, has suddenly become interested in hearing the opinions of adults who smoke. They have set up a website "My Opinion Counts" and invited customers to contribute their views on tobacco control measures. However, Philip Morris's interest is too little, too late. Researchers and policy makers have been using scientific surveys and interviews to understand smokers' views for many years, and the results show that smokers' perceptions do not align with the fears of this 'dying industry'.
Because of this large body of work, we know that the majority of smokers are not concerned by the recent move to place tobacco displays out-of-sight (and retailers are similarly unfazed). Smokers know where they can purchase cigarettes, and have welcomed this policy because it will see a potent trigger for relapse among those who have quit and a source of tobacco advertising to children removed.
Smokers from Māori and Pacific Island communities gave even higher levels of support to each of these measures, as do surveys that include non-smokers. The 2010 Health and Lifestyles Survey (adults aged 18+) and the 2009 ASH Snapshot (Year 10 students) both found that two-thirds of respondents agreed the number of places selling tobacco should be reduced to make the product less easily available. The ITC also revealed that nearly half of smokers are willing to see tobacco sales phased out in ten years if effective nicotine replacement products are available (46%).
From other research we know that smokers are very concerned about preventing youth initiation, because four out of five people who smoke regret the fact they smoke and say they would not start smoking if they could live their lives over again. We also know that most smokers support recent tobacco control measures, and believe the government should be doing more. Put simply, they welcome changes that help to create environments that support their quit attempts and prevent young people from becoming addicted to tobacco. While the tobacco industry wants us to believe that the majority of their customers have made an 'informed choice' to continue smoking, the choice most smokers desperately wish to make is to become smokefree.
Tobacco companies always object to new tobacco control measures and claim these will adversely affect smokers. History shows none of their "concerns" has any substance; smokers support the measures, which help increasing numbers to quit. Far from acting on real adverse effects – the profound health consequences for smokers – tobacco companies have manipulated cigarette composition. Tobacco products have been engineered to be increasingly addictive and more palatable, strategies that deliberately undermine smokers' freedom of choice by making quitting harder. Research published in 2011 by British American Tobacco's own scientists vividly demonstrates this point: they reported that cigarette butts collected from New Zealand contained significantly more nicotine and tar than those collected from the other countries studied (only the South African cigarette butts had equal or higher levels).
Tobacco companies know that many smokers are troubled by the potential for devastating health effects, spawning the creation of 'low harm' products to keep these customers hooked. The alternatives have included so-called 'light' and 'mild' cigarettes, which, perversely, contained more nicotine than full-flavour cigarettes, precisely because people who switched to these variants were at risk of quitting – an outcome that would be bad for business.
The tobacco industry is fighting for its survival, using every means at its disposal, including websites like Philip Morris's "My Opinion Counts", ostensibly to allow smokers to express their opinions on tobacco control. But smokers would be seriously deluded if they thought this was a benign gesture on the part of Philip Morris. No-one should mistake the tobacco giants' heightened 'concern' for customers 'rights' as anything other than concern for their own continued profitability – profitability that depends on continually replacing the 50% of customers who die from using their products.

Cheap Air Travel is Over, Eye Watering CEO Bonus Stays
By Mike Hamilton
Much has been said about Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary and his brazen attitude towards customers and staff, regularly sacrificing the interests of both in the relentless pursuit of profit. The no frills concept of cheap airline travel is taken to the extreme under his regime where the smallest of comforts is an extra €2and don't forget to buy your scratch cards.
One of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been grounding the entire fleet of aircraft across the majority of providers with no certainty as to when they can recommence operations. O'Leary hasn't let the fact that Ryanair is no different put him off though. In his usual brash manor, he publicly announced he would be running almost 1,000 flights a day, 40%, from 1stJuly and restoring 70-80% of routes by September.
Throwing caution to the wind he is quite happy to put the safety of staff and passengers at risk in order to resume profit making. This is on top of his rant against the governments social distancing guidance which he described as "nonsense".
This is all quite effective as in PR terms column inches, good or bad, is free advertising. It also puts pressure on the government to either start lifting restrictions or cough up large sums of cash to keep the industry afloat. While also creating a narrative that people have been locked up and are dying (most literally) to jet off on holidays as soon as possible. When this is repeated often enough, people start to believe that's what they actually want and making O'Leary into some sort of hero supposedly speaking up for ordinary people. If it works, great, profit making can resume and if it doesn't he can blame the government for their "draconian" measures and rinse and repeat the above strategy.
Of course, a €99,000,000 bonus scheme is quite an incentive on top of a salary of €3.38 million or €9,260 a day. The 99m euro bonus was just about approved by 50.5% of shareholders in 2019 among an unprecedented backlash. Despite this it scraped through as it was pointed out that it could potentially double their own share value if the associated targets were met. With O'Leary being a shareholder worth €865m its time to put the pencil and paper down and bring in those famous tax efficiency consultants that are so loved throughout the land, O'Leary himself previously being one.
The company which brings in an annual revenue of €7.6 billion has a problem though. Not just its renegade CEO, its lack of customer service or its horrendous industrial relations but its business model itself. Low fares are not just achieved by staff productivity, standardisation of aircraft, bulk buying spares or using secondary airports. It relies on state aid from governments and local authorities through direct payments or tax exemptions. Airports funded by municipal and regional taxpayers provide so many subsidies and free services that the net cash flow is usually all in Ryanair's direction.
Some airports can barely afford these subventions. At Bergerac Ryanair gained €2.3 million worth of subsidy from an airport which itself needed annual local government subsidies of €500,000 to stave off bankruptcy. Angoulême Airport paid Ryanair €1 million but it was hit by a final hour demand for a further €175,000. The alternative to paying up was an overnight pull-out. Other European airports have reported similar tactics as Ryanair seeks not just to continue subsidies but to increase them.
When Manchester Airport's subsidised arrangements ended, its chief executive said he would not "prostitute" himself any further. O'Leary immediately decamped to nearby Leeds-Bradford, where subsidies were available. Shannon airport discovered to its cost that even when they offered a pay-per-passenger deal Ryanair failed to deliver. They promised they would bring in 2 million passengers who would spend money in the airport shops, restaurants and bars. No further contracts were offered as only Ryanair benefit to the cost of the airport and the taxpayer who fund them.
Efforts to limit subsidy shopping by Ryanair were dealt a blow in 2008 when Ryanair won an appeal against an EU Commission decision that the generous subsidies it enjoyed at Charleroi were illegal. The airline insists that this means all its other subsidised services are, by default, also legal, but Commission insiders advise caution. They suggest that the Charleroi decision was thrown out for serious procedural errors not the righteousness of Ryanair's subsidy demands.
With Ryanair now cutting 3,000 of its 20,000 jobs the time has come to look at alternatives. The era of cheap air travel is over. Its model of low cost, high demand has proved to be unsustainable and costly to everyone except its CEO and shareholders. What passengers save in air fares they pay out in baggage charges or onboard food and drinks. The threat to the planet is urgently needing addressed and the less jet engine produced carbon the better. It's time to stop propping up capitalism and nationalise, nationalise, nationalise.

Q: zoo - Round coredata to integer I've got a list of 69 zoo objects, I used na.approx to fill few gaps, but since my time series deal with counts I need the imputed values to be integers.
This code
list_int <- lapply(list_dec, round(coredata(list_dec), digits=0))

gives me the following error message
Error in round(coredata(list_dec), digits=0) :
  non-numeric argument to mathematical function

I thought it was a problem with applying the function to a list instead of a vector, but the function
coredata(list_dec)

correctly shows all 69 time series (without need for lapply).
So why can't round apply to coredata?
EDITED
As suggested here's a minimal data set
 A1 <- runif(20, min=-5, max=13)
 A2 <- runif(20, min=-1, max=5)
 A3 <- runif(20, min=-3, max=10)
 A4 <- runif(20, min=0, max=2)
 ls <- list(A1, A2, A3, A4)
 list_dec <- lapply(ls, as.zoo)

A: As discussed in the comments, you can accomplish what you want by the following:
> library(zoo)
> A1 <- runif(20, min=-5, max=13)
> A2 <- runif(20, min=-1, max=5)
> A3 <- runif(20, min=-3, max=10)
> A4 <- runif(20, min=0, max=2)
> ls <- list(A1, A2, A3, A4)
> list_dec <- lapply(ls, as.zoo)

Now list_dec looks as follows:
> list_dec

I am speechless and Naomi is about to cry. We tell him that we are happy to see him and that we have been looking for him. He speaks of God's grace and his worries for his family. He thanks us for visiting and wishes us to return. We reaffirm that this was only the beginning. We had some gifts that we had purchases but since we couldn't find him, we couldn't deliver. He blesses our route and we are on our way, speeding back to tell Tammy about our find.
His leprosy has stopped its progress and his condition is relatively stable, though irreversible. He talks about how his biggest fear is that his kids will make bad decisions. Already he thinks his son-in-laws are stupid. He worries for his wife and for his grandchildren. But at the same time he begs for God to take him from this world. He has seen so much hurt and experienced so much pain. Yet, he is positive that God is there actively working in his life. God is taking care of him and God will continue to provide.
I know I haven't written much lately (hence the photos earlier) but life has begun to get mundane. I send off some emails, feed a dozen malnourished kids, practice some French, and forever am sweeping my house. Among many things, shaking hands with a man with leprosy helped me realize that I cannot get too comfortable. I don't want life to pass me by while I sit there thinking everything is normal. I must live life and look for the moments that can't be done over as time will always keep passing us by. Like I said, life here reminds me of biblical times. Its simplicity and love of time together as friends and family are some of the biggest reminders.

Q: Rails 4 CSV upload into multiple models I am trying to upload a csv file that has data that belongs in two different models: Project and PurchaseOrder.  I am using a has_many, :through relationship between the models.
I'm having problems with the upload.  I have whitelisted the shared attributes in both controllers and have included the accepts_nested_attributes in both models.
Here's my code to read in the csv.
  def self.import(file)
    CSV.foreach(file.path, headers: true) do |row|
      project_hash = row.to_hash
      project = Project.where(project_name: project_hash["project_number"]).first
      if project.present?
        project.first.update_attributes(project_hash)
      else
        Project.create! (project_hash)
      end
      purchase_order = PurchaseOrder.where(po_number: project_hash["po_number"]).first
      if purchase_order.present?
        PurchaseOrder.create!
      end

I have two questions/problems.

*

*I cannot read in the po_number attribute.  I get this error unknown attribute 'po_number' for Project.

*I do not know how to push the created purchase order into the project hash so that it updates the nested attribute value.
Thank you in advance to anyone who is able to help!
**** Update
With this method, the data is saved to the correct tables. However, the association between PurchaseOrder and Project is not saved.  Any thoughts?
  def self.import(file)
    CSV.foreach(file.path, headers: true) do |row|
      project_hash = row.to_hash
      po_hash = {}
      po = PurchaseOrder.new
      project_hash.each { |k, v| po_hash[k] = project_hash.delete(k) if po.respond_to?(k) }

      project = Project.where(project_name: project_hash["project_number"]).first
      if project.present?
        project.first.update_attributes(project_hash)
      else
        Project.create! (project_hash)
      end

      po = PurchaseOrder.where(po_number: po_hash["po_number"]).first
      if po.present?
        po.first.update_attributes(po_hash)
      else
        PurchaseOrder.create! (po_hash)
      end
    end
  end

A: These lines are attempting to update / create the project using all the values in the hash...
project.first.update_attributes(project_hash)
...
Project.create! (project_hash)

But clearly some hash elements (such as "po_number") don't have columns in the projects table.
You need to split out the csv hash elements based on which elements belong to which model...
e.g.
po_hash = {}
po = PurchaseOrder.new
project_hash.each { |k, v| po_hash[k] = project_hash.delete(k) if po.respond_to?(k) }

This will remove the purchase order fields from project_hash and add them to po_hash so you can use the correct hash to update the correct table.
To establish the association...
change
Project.create!(project_hash)

into
project = Project.create!(project_hash)

so that regardless of whether the project exists or is newly created, it's stored in the variable "project".  Similarly, do
po = PurchaseOrder.create!(po_hash)

Then after you have created or updated the purchase order, you can simply assign the po to the project...
project.purchase_orders << po


At first, we reduced the water supply.
The poisoned city wells dried up.
The light burnt the crops.
At sunset, everything crumbled into a black peace.
Then somehow we got used to an economy of words.
We collected ideas and thoughts in one book.
We spent the days memorising chapters.
for the privilege of staying alive.

The rhetoric surrounding North Korea is jarring, to say the least. British and American coverage of the country tends to focus on the perceived oddities of Kim Jong-Un, or the atrocities of the nation's regimes and nuclear programmes. Seldom do we hear from North Korean civilians themselves, and when we do, we tend to concentrate on tales of plight. Roxy Rezvany's new short film Little Pyongyang voices frustration with that mode of expression. Not just a North Korean story, the film is an exploration of the nature of documentary storytelling itself, and the way design can empower and elevate it.
Roxy has been working on the film since 2014 when she first became aware of the North Korean community living in New Malden in London. Located in the south-west corner of the capital, the area is home to one of the world's largest communities of North Korean defectors and is an area Roxy knows well as her long-term partner used to live there. "When my partner's youngest brother said to the family one day, 'my best friend Joon is North Korean', it was the first time that I had considered that there a North Korean diaspora present in the UK, and felt almost embarrassed for being surprised," she says, recounting the genesis of the project.
Following that conversation, Roxy set about getting to know the local community of defectors. "When I spoke with refugees there was a strong feeling that there was not enough humanising coverage of their experiences," she tells It's Nice That. "This was my starter motivation for creating the film." While working on an article that would "break" the story of the community in New Malden, she was introduced to Joong-wha Choi by a prominent North Korean activist called Joo-il Kim. "During this interview, Joong-wha just conveyed such emotion and complexity whenever he spoke," she explains. This experience formed the basis of Little Pyongyang, of which Joong-wha is the focus.
The result is a tender and stylised documentary offering a revealing panorama of the experience of a refugee. "The first time I interviewed him he says at one point 'I sometimes say to myself that it would be great if there was somebody else who risked their life to escape and could be the one to get things done'," Roxy explains, "That admission always came back to me and it offered me a perspective of that experience that I'd not considered before." As well as featuring Joong-wha's individual story, Little Pyonyang tells another story, a collective one, through its design and production. "I knew for this film to have an impact it would need to do more than seem like 'just another film about a refugee's suffering' – and I really wanted this to be the sort of film that even people who aren't into current affairs could be encouraged to watch," Roxy tells us.
Joong-wha formerly served as a soldier in the DPRK. He now lives with his wife and children in New Malden and works in a warehouse on the A3 motorway. While he enjoys the new-found freedoms and comforts that have come with moving to the United Kingdom, he still harbours a desire to "return to the land that betrayed him yet is undoubtedly his true home". This complex quandary is one that Little Pyongyang works hard to translate and visualise. It allows Joong-wha to dictate his own narrative, not an enforced one, while simultaneously opposing the visual tropes of documentary film.
While tracking the literal and emotional journeys relayed by Joong-wha, Little Pyongyang's designs offer an "outlet to fully explore the depths of what he narrates and all the ambiguity and complexity of what he is communicating, beyond words," Roxy says.

Hiking Group
The Hiking Group's aim is to get out on excursions at least once a week. Our hikes range from about 3 hours to all day. Hikes can be on any day of the week with start times optimized for the conditions. There is plenty of variety in our offerings, from gently rolling trails to climbing Mt Becher or Mt Elma. We hike year round when conditions are safe to do so.
Emails announcing hikes are sent out a few days before the event. When the weather systems are unsettled, it isn't always possible to give a lot of forewarning about an upcoming hike and so we ask for your patience. Members who signup for a hike are invited to gather at a carpooling location which is announced along with the hike details. Look for fellow hikers standing in a group, waiting for the departure time. A suggested "thank you" for carpool drivers is included in each hike confirmation email.
A description and pictures of recent hikes can be seen by scrolling through the Activity Group News pages.
If you would like to join the Hiking Group please proceed to the Activity Groups Signup Page.

NORTHEAST WOODS/LAZO MARSH TRAIL SYSTEM
Trail map included in the photo section, or click on Comox Northeast Woods.
This trail system has several trailheads: the main one (with plenty of parking) is at the northern end of Torrence Rd., off Guthrie (Comox). Here, you find inter-winding multi-use trails for easy hiking, trail running and biking. Of note: This park is frequented by dog walkers and the dogs are generally off-leash. It might be better to plan hikes here for the early afternoon, when perhaps the incidence of dogs is a bit lower.
There is a large trail map at the car park detailing the various routes, which are mostly flat with a few small hills and which are suitable year round despite muddy patches after rains. The trails are well maintained.
The park is next to the Lazo Marsh conservation area which is also worth checking out. The maps found at the park indicate where one can divert from the main NE Woods loop trail to reach Lazo Rd. By crossing Lazo Rd and heading in the direction of Point Holmes, one quickly comes to a path following the edge of Lazo Marsh and eventually reaching Curtis Rd. From here, it is an easy walk down Curtis to a public beach access. This half-way point to the hike is the perfect spot for a snack break before retracing the trail back to the Northeast Woods to hook back into the main loop trail for the completion of the hike back to the trailhead. The Lazo Marsh trail is a bit hillier than NE Woods, but the uphill sections are short and easy to negotiate.
This hike is approximately 9km in length, taking around 2.5 hours to complete.

COMOX LAKE BLUFF TRAIL
For a map of the Bluffs location, visit Map Link
There are various routes for approaching the Comox Lake Bluffs. In order to provide a hike of 2.5 - 3 hour duration, we are presently starting off at the Comox Lake Dam parking area, off Comox Logging Road. On the lake side of the road, the woods are riddled with trails that are primarily used by mountain bikers and by following those paralleling the lake, one eventually arrives at a trail leading upwards to the Bluffs. The route is basically stepped - uphill sections alternating with fairly level ones, giving relief from the upward grind.
Views along the way are lovely, making the hike well worth the effort of climbing. Sturdy boots/shoes are recommended and hiking poles are of use when climbing.
Grade: 3.5
Ripple Rock
The 8.5km (return) trail starts off in an overgrown field and then heads into woods for the remainder of the hike, winding most of its way through terrain parallel to the Menzies Bay shoreline and coming out at the top of a bluff overlooking Seymour Narrows.
This hike involves a fair amount of climbing up and down along the route, culminating in the final ascent to the summit (which includes a large set of sturdy stairs). The Narrows are less than a km wide below the lookout: it is here that the largest non-nuclear explosion in the world occurred, to get rid of Ripple Rock, a major marine hazard.
This hike takes approximately 4 hours to complete, depending on length of the lunch break. The drive to the trailhead from Home Depot is one hour, so anticipate spending at least 6 hours on this excursion.

Snowden Demonstration Forest
1. LOST FROG HIKE: The trailhead is at the Lost Frog Parking lot, at the eastern end of the Forest and involves a drive of approximately 3km on a potholey road (nothing that can't be negotiated carefully). If you don't want to take your car over this sort of road, be prepared to carpool.
The day's hike is around the Lost Frog and Lost Lake loops and includes Mudhoney Pass Trail. There are a few short uphill sections, but nothing extreme. Including rest and lunch breaks, the hike should take approximately 3.5 - 4 hours to negotiate.
A logical spot for a lunch break is at the Lost Lake picnic tables, about half way through the hike.
This Forest is just north of Campbell River (off the road to Gold River); it lines the logging road leading to Loveland Bay Provincial Park. It takes about 1 hour to reach the trailhead from Home Depot.
This Demonstration Forest is absolutely lovely and well worth return visits. The multitude of trails are very well marked and are well-groomed. Many are dedicated to mountain bike riders, but there are a good number of multi-use ones just waiting to be explored.
Sturdy shoes/boots are recommended as the trails can be rooty and somewhat muddy in patches. A hiking pole might also be found useful, though not necessary.

snowden_forest_trail_map.pdf
2. TAZ HIKE: We begin this hike at the Lost Lake parking lot on the south side of the Forest (off Loveland Bay Road, a gravel logging road usually in good condition during the summer/fall). The sequence of trails is: Lost Lake/TriMac/Riley Lake/Access to Elmer Lake/Lookout Loop/Enchanted Forest/Access to Taz/Taz/Upper Lost Frog Loop/Lost Lake Loop/Riley Lake/TriMac/Lost Lake to trailhead.
This is a longer (perhaps 4.5-5 hours), more arduous hike involving some uphill sections, but also about 3 STEEP downhill clambers. It could be rated in the same category as the Canyon View Trail - Elk Falls trail hike for the uphill sections; for the downhill sections, hiking poles or walking sticks are a distinct help.
The Taz section of the trail is the area that gives us the most workout, but it rewards the hiker with a wonderful bluff view to the area overlooking Seymour Narrows in the Ripple Rock area - a great location for a lunch break.
Mount Washington Trail System
The listed trails start from the Paradise Meadows trailhead, on Mt. Washington, about a 40 minute drive from Home Depot.
There are a number of hikes which can be undertaken from the trailhead, ranging from a simple circuit around the Paradise Meadows boardwalk trail (basically flat; about 2.5km) to...well, the sky is the limit!
Those with only 3 hours available for a workout can settle for the Lake Helen McKenzie loop at around 8km in length (Grade 2.5, with a climb up to the lake, an undulating trail along the north side of the lake and then the descent back down to the Paradise Meadows boardwalk. The elevation gain is 70m...this is a fairly easy hike on well-developed trails through a mix of sub-alpine meadows alternating with elevation gains).
And then, there are more energetic hikes...
mt_washington_trails_map.pdf
1. CROTEAU LAKE
This hike starts out as an easy hike on boardwalk, becoming a bit rougher heading up to Lake Helen McKenzie and then rougher yet as one heads further on. While on the Lake Helen McKenzie loop, the trail diverts southwards from the eastern edge of the Lake, leading past a few intervening lakes (eg Lady Lake) until it reaches Croteau Lake. Total trail length is about 14km (including the Lake H.M. loop); it takes around 5 hours to complete.
Click on photos to open or cursor over for captions:
2. KWAI LAKE
The trail length is about 15 kms, taking about 6 hours, with an total elevation gain of about 185 meters and offers hikers access to beautiful sub-alpine lakes and mountain vistas. One climbs up from Paradise Meadows to the eastern side of Lake Helen McKenzie and then continues on southwards past Croteau Lake until arriving at Kwai Lake.
Rounding the lake on its southern side, one then loops northwards to make the return to Lake Helen McKenzie, arriving on its western edge. Halfway along this stretch, there is a switchback descent which is relatively steep and from this descent to Lake H.M., the trail often tends to be muddy - best to do this one during drier periods!
At the west edge of Lake H.M., one has the choice of hiking straight back to the trailhead (a distance of around 3km, which is included in the 15km total length), or of completing the Lake H.M. loop, adding an additional 1.3km to the 15km route.
3. CRUICKSHANK CANYON LOOKOUT
At Kwai Lake, the hiker can take a side trail to the Cruickshank Canyon Lookout - a further distance of 3km (return) and involving an additonal elevation grade of 60m. The trail passes Mariwood Lake and Lake Beautiful. Expect to tack on an additional hour to the Kwai Lake Loop trail to include this lookout, bringing the total hike to around 7 hours. It is well worth the day to do this one!
Mount Becher
The trailhead is at the old Forbidden Plateau ski lodge ruins, at the end of Forbidden Plateau Rd - a drive of approximately 30 - 40 minutes from Home Depot
Mt. Becher provides excellent views of the Comox glacier and the coast mountains across the Georgia Strait - unless the clouds are low. Hiking time is approximately 6 hours return and the distance is approximately 11 kilometers return. The elevation gain is listed at 650m.
The beginning of the hike is up the old ski hill and gets you panting in no time. From there, it is a case of following signs and continuing upwards (some steep sections, some more gentle), with some level breaks.
As with the Mount Washington hikes, this is best done in late summer and into the Autumn, to avoid snowy conditions. Dress in layers and be prepared for changes in weather.

Puntledge River East, Return
A scenic trail along the east side of the Puntledge River. The trail starts on the east side of the Comox Lake Dam and continues to connect up to the pipeline leading east towards Courtenay. One can access the northern end via logging roads near the Comox Lake Hostel. This is a generally flat route which can get quite soggy in spots during wet weather or when the Puntledge River is high and so is best tackled during the drier seasons..
nymph_falls_to_comox_lake_map.pdf
Nymph Falls to Comox Lake, Return
This route generally follows the Puntledge River from Nymph Falls to the BC Hydro Day-Use park by Comox Lake; three loop sections are available, to provide a bit of variety to the basic trail.
Once more, this is a forested trail system, providing many pretty views over the river. Almost all the route is flat, though there are a few short uphill sections.
This 13.74km return hike takes approximately 3 hours to complete (not including lunch/snack breaks) and the picnic tables at the Comox Lake end provide a good opportunity for a lunch or snack break.

Johnny Rodz
superstar stats
Signature Move
Falling Headbutt
1996 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee
Johnny Rodz: Bio
Whether he was in the opening match or the main event, Johnny Rodz always gave the fans their money's worth. Using his unorthodox style to his advantage, "The Unpredictable One" treated every match as if it were his biggest, earning a reputation as one of the hardest-working men in the business.
Rodz spent nearly two decades in WWE, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. He also worked in California during that time, where he was billed as "Arabian Wildman" Java Ruuk. In WWE, however, Rodz gained the reputation for taking on just about any opponent who stepped in his path. While he may have lost more than he won, Rodz' unorthodox abilities and willingness to face any challenger earned him the respect of fans and Superstars alike.
After his in-ring career wound down in the mid-1980s, Rodz put his knowledge of sports-entertainment to use as a trainer. Working out of the famed Gleason's Gym in his hometown of New York City, Rodz had a hand in training several future WWE Superstars. Fellow New Yorkers Tazz, Tommy Dreamer, Vito and Matt Striker, as well as former Tough Enough trainer Bill DeMott and several of ECW's Dudley Boyz, are among the dozens of Gleason's graduates Rodz trained in the facility located under the Brooklyn Bridge.
In 1996, Rodz was given the ultimate honor when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Fittingly, "The Unpredictable One" was put into the Hall by fellow New Yorker and Hall of Famer, "The Golden Boy" Arnold Skaaland.
Well-respected inside the ring and perhaps even more lauded outside of it, Johnny Rodz is well worthy of being the most unpredictable member of the WWE Hall of Fame.

Thread: TBI acting like a carb with maladjusted float.
What would cause this? Driving downhill it acts like the fuel pressure is going up and down. Goes RICH (100BLM) back to 128, then back down, surging. going uphill it just stays at 124-128ish BLM... With roughly 10 gallons in the tank, it idles fine, but then as soon as I fill it up, it's back overly rich again. Could this be because of a bad regulator? Obviously it's impossible to get tuned correctly like this.
One of the challenging things to deal with in tuning are problems like you describe. It's possible the fuel pressure regulator could cause this, but I thinking maybe fuel pump? If I'm understanding what was posted, both uphill / down hill with a full tank of gas have erratic BLM's?
What I would do, might not affordable or practical for others? I would replace the fuel pressure regulator with a known good fuel pressure regulator. I would "Tee" into the fuel feed supply with a mechanical gauge that I could watch while driving in the conditions that create the problem.
If you really have this figured out to 10 gallons or half tank versus full tank? I'd say it's not a regulator and probably more a vent, return or CCP issue.
Yes. Warmed up, half a tank left, drove it around, unplugged computer, plugged computer back in. BLM and INT on the way to the gas station. Put 22 gallons in it to fill it up, BLM at 110 on the way home. Ugh. We'll see how it goes on the way back home tonight and I'll post up.
Leave the gas cap loose and see if the issue is still there?
I picked up new injectors and an AFPR pod last week, should have them today. This afternoon I'm going to pick up a fuel cap (It has a locking one on it, junk.) Try that, then if I'm still having issues I may need to drop the tank and inspect the pump/sock/bucket setup. I think it still might be the stock pump, and the fuel filter is unknown also. To top it off I think I have an exhaust leak that has started at the manifold to Y pipe interface which will screw up O2 readings also. ugh.
It is what it is, just part of getting these things on the road and reliable. At least I have tunerpro so I can see a good bit of what's going on. Otherwise I'd be blind.
I had the small rubber hose connecter that connects the fuel-pump to the steel line in the tank deteriorate on me once and cause me some gas starvation issues.
Not really the same symptoms as you are describing but still something to look at.
Truck is back down to half a tank and it's still doing it, on and off. I need to run the rest of the fuel out of it and drop the tank, I guess. That's a crappy job in this 95 degree heat.
An easy way to empty the tank is let the fuel pump do the work for you.
Connect a long piece of fuel hose to the main fuel line then run a jumper on the fuel pump relay and you can pump the fuel out into fuel cans.
But use caution and keep the fuel far away from the relay just in case you create a spark jumping the relay. Best to have one person man the fuel hose while another mans the relay.


I'm starting the crazy holiday show schedule tomorrow–to see where we'll be, check here–and tomorrow we'll be in DC at a green show at the VA, so Friday Photo comes a day early.
Today's photo comes courtesy of Green Roost, a delightful eco-friendly boutique in Culpeper, Virginia. Ok, honestly, I've not been there, or even been to Culpeper–although it's top of my list for a day trip mostly because of Green Roost– but I can tell that it's a wonderful place. In my mind, it has all the charm of the south while being modern.
I just returned from the Detroit Metro area, and forgot all about my Friday Photo. I'll make this quick, and maybe one day I'll blog more about this project. But, if you want to know more about the Heidelberg Project, please check out their website.

Q: How to get a HTML element in a HTML element array with JQuery I have this code that gives me all the LABEL inside the HTML element with id "nuovaImmagine":
$.labelImmagine = $("#nuovaImmagine1").find("label");

I know that inside $.labelImmagine there are 3 labels. If I do alert($.labelImmagine.size()); the alert shows "3";
Now I have to get the first element of the array and edit the text of the label.
I tried both $.labelImmagine.get(0).text("Hello") and $.labelImmagine[0].text("Hello") but none works.
Any idea?
Thank you

A: You can use .eq() and change its text with .text()
$.labelImmagine = $("#nuovaImmagine1").find("label");
$.labelImmagine.eq(0).text('some text');

Check the below snippet

$.labelImmagine = $("#nuovaImmagine1").find("label");
$.labelImmagine.eq(0).text('some text')

  label 1

  label 2

  label 3

A: You don't want the HTML element, you want the jQuery object of that HTML element. I can tell because you're trying to use jQuery methods on it.
Both $().get(0) and $()[0] give you DOM nodes. You need $().eq(0) or $().first(), which return a jQuery object.

A: It's  a bad idea to pollute the $ namespace.  I'd rather use
var $labelImmagine = $("#nuovaImmagine1").find("label");
//   ^--- no dot.

But yea.... otherwise, simply do like

$.labelImmagine = $("#nuovaImmagine1").find("label");
$.labelImmagine.eq(0).text("WOOOOO");

TEST

and all wrapped inside an IIFE or document ready scope:
jQuery(function($) { // DOM ready and $ alias secured
    /**/
});

A: If you want to continue using Jquery you would need to re-'jqueryify' the element.
For example
$($.labelImmagine[0]).text("Hello")

This is because by selecting the element by index it is no longer a jquery object, and thus .text() doesn't exist.
Otherwise you could use
$.labelImmagine[0].innerHTML = "Hello"

Bundesliga to allow five substitutions, relegation if season is completed
Saturday will see the Bundesliga's return and teams will be able to use five substitutions during a match.

Bundesliga clubs will be able to use five substitutes when it returns from a suspension enforced due to the coronavirus pandemic on Saturday, the German Football League (DFL) announced on Thursday.
The new rule was approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to help protect player welfare with fixtures set to come thick and fast as the sport continues its schedule in a restricted time frame.
The Bundesliga will become the first major European league to return to action when it resumes behind closed doors on Saturday after a two-month stoppage. Germany's second tier will also be back this weekend.
READ| Revierderby without fans 'painful reality', says Dortmund sporting director Zorc
A DFL statement read: "From now on, each club will have a total of three opportunities to substitute players during a game, including the half-time break.
"If there is extra time in the second leg of the relegation play-offs, both teams are given a fourth opportunity to change players, which they can use in the interruption between regular time and extra time or in the half-time period of extra time.
"The DFL 'Football Commission' recommends that a maximum of two players be substituted at the same time."
All but one of the 36 clubs from the top two leagues voted in favour of completing the 2019-20 season, including relegation, as longs as it is legally possible.
Although the season is set to finish on the weekend of June 27-28, the DFL said games could take place in July if required.

No decision was made on what will occur if the season cannot be completed due to health reasons.
"In the event that ... the season has to be abandoned prematurely, a regulation regarding the sporting classification is to be developed within the next two weeks," the statement said.
Venues for matches could also be changed at short notice in the event of a local outbreak of COVID-19.
"There will also be the possibility of a match being played in another stadium at short notice for overriding compelling legal, organisational and/or security reasons," said the DFL.
There are nine full rounds of fixtures remaining in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich sitting four points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the summit.
The two teams will meet at Signal Iduna Park on May 26.

Pandemic teaching practices bring Fine Arts faculty together through pedagogy
Assistant Dean for Instructional Continuity and Innovation Julie Schell leads an online workshop for College of Fine Art faculty members.
By Alicia Dietrich
The global pandemic threw a major wrench in teaching plans for Fine Arts faculty members, but it also brought a silver lining as it connected faculty members with their peers across disciplines who are passionate about teaching and exploring new and innovative ways to teach in arts and design.
When faculty members pivoted to online teaching overnight in March 2020, the need for support for instructional continuity was clear to College of Fine Arts leadership, and learning design expert and Assistant Professor of Practice Julie Schell was appointed into a new role of assistant dean for instructional continuity and innovation. In her new role, Schell has created more than 30 learning modules to support Fine Arts faculty in transitioning to teaching online and hybrid instruction.
"Julie helps us to also grow in our creativity and teaching because creativity and art is different than the creativity of teaching creativity," said Honoria Starbuck, assistant professor of practice in the Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies. "Teaching is more like improv, where you have an audience and you can be alone with yourself and be very creative, but you're in front of an audience and being creative in your teaching. That's where Julie has been supporting us."
Schell's new office became a hub that connected arts and design disciplines and brought together faculty members from every department in the college. As faculty members gathered for the virtual teaching workshops, they explored common challenges and shared real-time feedback with one another on how things were going as they tried new technologies and new ways of teaching.
The mission of the office is to mobilize extraordinary arts-based teaching and learning experiences by creating a vibrant, collaborative culture of effective and innovative pedagogy. Schell said that the first strategic priority for the office is to foster and lead a collaborative culture across the college to ensure educational transformation for our students. The office also focuses on transforming teaching and learning and inspiring the next generation of academic artists through graduate teaching initiatives.
"Julie's office created a new community of people who are really interested in teaching and who want to want to improve and want to get better," said John Turci-Escobar, assistant dean of undergraduate studies for the college and an assistant professor on instruction in the Butler School of Music.
While all faculty members are experts within their discipline, they were excited to tap into Schell's specific expertise in the science of learning. Schell said that while interdisciplinary research is quite common in higher education, interdisciplinary teaching—where faculty members are learning from other people in different fields in ways that push their teaching forward—is still quite nascent.
Schell invited graduate students to participate in the workshops as well so that they could have access to pedagogical support and training. These students will have a leg up on the competition in the job market, and their students are also going to benefit dramatically from having people who are teaching based on established approaches in their fields rather than just teaching the way that they were taught, Schell said.
In a college where departments are spread out across five different buildings, the geography can make spontaneous interpersonal communications challenging. Associate Professor of Practice in Design Jon Freach had met his colleagues in the School of Design and Creative Technologies, but as he started attending the training sessions Schell offered, he had an epiphany.
"I started to realize that, 'Oh yeah, we're all in the same college!'" Freach said. "I started to meet more people from theater and dance, and it's just like a light bulb went on. I realized, 'This is fine arts, man!' I have a degree in this. You're my people, and we're actually not far from each other."
This summer, Schell launched the inaugural Transformative Teaching in the Arts Summer Institute, with a blend of synchronous and asynchronous modules on topics ranging from creating belonging in your classroom to student motivation. Faculty who joined the sessions earned certificates to document their participation for their promotion and tenure files. Schell saw highly engaged participation, and in the live sessions, she found faculty wanted to linger long past the end of the session to talk shop about teaching.
"When you get someone who teaches bassoon and someone who's teaching 3-D prototyping in design together, sharing ideas about how they support autonomy in their students, or how they create communities of belonging for their students, that's when the sparks really come off," Schell said. "Serendipity followed by innovation happens through these kinds of interdisciplinary mashups. We start to not just have a community, but we have a community of practice around teaching fine arts that's innovating together and pushing teaching forward. That's really exciting to be part of and to facilitate."
