Wasteful Barcelona could not convert any of their 25 shots in a goalless Champions League last-16 first-leg draw against Lyon.
Usually so proficient in front of goal, Barca's Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Phillipe Coutinho were all denied by Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
Lyon had chances, too, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen brilliantly tipped Martin Terrier's long-range shot onto the bar.
The return leg takes place at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, 13 March.
La Liga champions Barca are top of the Spanish league once more, seven points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid, but they have not won this competition since 2015 when they defeated Juventus in the final.
Going into this tie, Ernesto Valverde's side were heavy favourites to progress to the quarter-finals for the 11th consecutive season, but their poor finishing leaves the tie in the balance.
The Catalans have now drawn four of their last five games in all competitions and should have netted twice in the opening four minutes but Ousmane Dembele scuffed off target and Messi dinked a free-kick over.
When Barca did call on Lopes, they found the Lyon number one in superb form, springing high in the second half to tip over Sergio Busquets' drive, the best of his five saves in the game.
French club Lyon, the only side to beat runaway Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain this season, could have snatched a goal themselves but Houssem Aouar's strike was pushed away by Germany international Ter Stegen and Memphis Depay screwed a shot wide from the angle.

On April 21 Your Site Must Be Mobile-Friendly | Informatics Inc.
Google announced earlier this month that it would be releasing a new Google algorithm update aimed at making all sites on the web mobile-friendly. This update is set to go into effect on April 21. According to Marketing Land, consumers today spend 60% of their time on the internet on their mobile devices. And 3 out of 4 people will search on their smartphone for a business they are looking to work with (Google Partners). These statistics show the importance of having a mobile-friendly website and the reasoning behind Google's big measures.
Google uses a complex algorithm to rank websites in its search engine results. Some of the more common, well-known factors include use of keywords, length of content, and inbound links. In the past, people have speculated as to whether mobile-friendliness was a ranking factor. While it may have played a minor role, Google has officially announced its expansion as an important ranking factor. Google will be updating their algorithm on April 21 to put more emphasis on mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal (Social Media Today).
Making mobile-friendliness a stronger ranking signal means that mobile-friendly websites will be preferred over non-mobile-friendly sites in search results.
If you are wondering if your site will be affected by this algorithm, you will need to determine if your site is mobile-friendly or not. You can also monitor your analytics for a couple weeks following the update to see if there are any noticeable changes.
The first step to determining if your site is mobile-friendly, is to understand what that term means. Mobile-friendly websites are sites that display optimally on mobile devices. That means that when a user pulls your site up on their smartphone, he or she does not have to pinch and zoom in order to read the content and click on links. Instead, a mobile-friendly site is easy to read and easy to use on a smartphone.
Responsive Design: Responsive design describes a website that dynamically resizes to fit the width of the device or browser that it is being displayed on. Responsive design uses a single code base that works across hundreds of devices.
Adaptive Design: With adaptive web design, a website changes its layout based on specific thresholds.
There are a few ways to determine if your website is mobile-friendly. First of all, you can pull it up on a smartphone and see how it displays. If it is just a really tiny version of your website that requires you to pinch and zoom, then it is not mobile-friendly. You can actually tell if your website is responsive by pulling it up on a desktop and dragging the corner of your browser window to make it smaller. If your site is responsive, you will see your website re-size and re-format in front of your eyes.
Also, if you have a mobile site, it will have a mobile URL that you are probably aware of. Google recommends checking to see if your site is mobile-friendly by checking to see if you have the mobile-friendly label in the live mobile search results or using their handy Mobile-Friendly test.
How Can I Get a Mobile-Friendly Site?
Update Your Current Site to Responsive: If you aren't going to be ready for a site redesign in the next year, you should still alter your site to be responsive for the time being.
If you have any questions about the mobile-friendly Google algorithm update, don't hesitate to reach out. Also, if you are interested in going responsive, contact Informatics today.
In 2015, the education sector had an average email open rate of 19.26%, according to SmartInsights. How do you compare?

Benjamin Bruneau
Benjamin BruneauClinical Director
Ben began his career in teaching and producing positive behavior change at the New England Center for Children (NECC). In 1998, he left NECC to assist a local public school district in building an ABA-based inclusion program for children with autism spectrum disorders, one of the earliest of its kind, which would go on to serve as a model for school districts across the Commonwealth. He has held numerous roles in his time there, including supervision for the kindergarten/first grade ABA inclusion program and district-wide behavior consultant, which allowed him to work with parents and educators facing a wide variety of behavioral challenges and diagnoses associated with autism, conduct disorder, communication disorder, emotional disturbance, oppositional defiant disorder, and selective mutism. In 2008, a colleague convinced him to visit Crossroads to see a school play. He found the school's vision and mission of improving the quality of life for individuals with autism perfectly matched his own, which prompted his application to Crossroads. In recent years, Ben conducted symposia on assessing preference and teaching social skills to students with autism at regional and national conferences. He has provided a wide range of trainings on how to produce meaningful behavior change for school personnel and parents in various districts across the state. In 2014, Ben was awarded the Jerry Shook Practitioner of the Year award from the Berkshire Association for Behavior Analysis and Therapy for meaningfully changing the lives of individuals using applied behavior analytic technology. Ben loves working at Crossroads because it affords him the ability to work directly with a close-knit community of students, parents, and educators. In his private life, Ben loves spending time with his family and being outdoors three seasons of the year, when he hikes, mountain bikes, and looks for places to fish in beautiful New England. While his days of going on tour are over, he also still enjoys playing occasional shows with his rock band.

Chiswick Timeline of Writers and Books Hits 250 Entries
Apr 10, 2019 | Arts, Books
75 more writers who have lived in the London suburb of Chiswick W4, or written about the area have been entered on the Chiswick Timeline of Writers and Books, an online archive launched last autumn by the Chiswick Book Festival. It brings the total to 250 writers, from the 17th Century to the present day, with more pending as local residents suggest new names for inclusion. They are listed by year and by genre – non-fiction and novels, poems and plays.
The new names range from one of the UK's most significant cultural figures – the designer, poet and socialist William Morris – to the entertainers Morecambe & Wise, choreographers Dame Gillian Lynne and Lynn Seymour, rock musicians Bruce Dickinson and Ian Dury and sports stars Sir Matthew Pinsent and Daley Thompson.
They join distinguished writers and famous names already featured on the Chiswick Timeline and its Writers Trail map. These include Harold Pinter, who wrote The Caretaker in Chiswick; John Osborne, who submitted the manuscript of Look Back In Anger from his Chiswick houseboat; and William Makepeace Thackeray, who set the opening chapter of Vanity Fair in Chiswick Mall, where he went to school.
Lorna Ko gets chapter and verse from Festival Director, Torin Douglas.
Others featured on Chiswick's Writers Trail include Alexander Pope, WB Yeats, EM Forster, GK Chesterton, Patrick Hamilton, Dame Iris Murdoch, JG Ballard, Anthony Burgess, Nancy Mitford, Sir John Betjeman, Alain-Fournier and Sir Arthur Pinero. They include two winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature, one Booker Prize winner, two Oscar winners and a Poet Laureate. The map can be picked up in Chiswick Library and bookshops and at St Michael & All Angels Church Bedford Park, or downloaded from the Chiswick Book Festival website.
The Timeline has been compiled by the director of the Chiswick Book Festival, Torin Douglas. He said: "When we started the Festival, I wanted to celebrate the writers who have lived here, because I thought Chiswick's record had been under-recognised. I knew there were distinguished writers with W4 connections, and famous residents who'd written their memoirs, as well as less well-known authors, poets and dramatists. But I never suspected we'd find 250 – or that so many of them would be quite so distinguished!"
The Festival is now challenging other book festivals, libraries and local history societies to come up with their own lists of writers. It follows a tweet from museums consultant Val Bott, former chairman of the William Hogarth Trust, which supports Hogarth's House in Chiswick.
She tweeted: "Can other suburbs besides #Chiswick demonstrate this degree of #literarycreativity? Still finding more writers & you can help too: check the current list & send in missing names!"
The art critic and historian Marina Vaizey was one of the first to respond. She has lived in Chiswick for many years and revealed that her late husband John, the economist Lord Vaizey, had been responsible for the EM Forster blue plaque in Chiswick. Her story is included in a series of ten 'Writers Tales' in the archive. These include pages about Queen Victoria in Chiswick, as described in her Journals, and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who called Chiswick House her "earthly paradise".
JG Ballard's daughter, the artist Fay Ballard, recalled that her father loved walking in Chiswick House Gardens, illustrating it with her drawing of them there when she was a baby. Another resident gave new information about Alain-Fournier, the author of Le Grand Meaulnes, who wrote letters home from Chiswick when, at the age of 19, he worked as a translator at the Sanderson wallpaper company.
"We've been delighted with the response from local residents, who have given us names and Chiswick links we might never have thought of" said Torin Douglas. "We look forward to receiving more stories and we hope other places will take up the 'Chiswick Challenge' to identify their own writers and celebrate their literary heritage."

Electronic Observations 2013 #8
By JB / October 13, 2013 / Electronic, Featured Articles / Leave a comment
Back in some kind of groove this month, with the one column, and 9 releases for your delectation. Numerous genres are covered, although hopefully the Ultramarine album will be one that unites everybody; maybe it's the nostalgia talking but it's a hit with me. Having grown up listening to Soft Machine's Third from my dad's collection, the sound of Robert Wyatt guesting on United Kingdoms was a genuine join-the-dots moment for me, as his distinctive tones linked up the jazz/prog rock with pastoral electronica and techno and suddenly I was finding more and more connections between the records of the previous generation and my own fresh purchases. It's wonderful when things suddenly make sense, and I hope something on the list below has a similar effect. (Jeremy Bye)
Deco ~ Timescales
Although LA producer Deco has been involved with music for the best part of a decade, first Djing and later running a label, Timescales is his debut album. It has all the tropes of a debut too, with Deco showing off his different influences in the space of an hour with bits of dub, soul, ambient, house and more cropping up here and there across the duration. Thankfully for the sake of coherence, the dominating sound on Timescales is the bass, flexible, muscular and dubby, providing both the anchor and the engine room for all the tracks. The result is an album that's loosely speaking a dubstep record, thanks to the reggae touches that are spread liberally across the majority of tracks. Deco's use of vocal samples (the futuristic space port announcement, shout outs to the 'West Coast' and 'Kingston') are a tad formulaic and make the music seem less vital and fresh than it actually is; it's a shame the same level of creativity used on writing the basslines couldn't have been extended to the voice extracts. Still, it's a mighty impressive debut and shows much promise for the future.
Lower Spectrum ~ Little Appeal
Lower Spectrum are seriously under-selling this accessible album by calling it Little Appeal. If there was a watchdog who monitored such things, I can imagine that a firmly worded letter would be sent with the instructions that the name be changed. 'Much wider appeal through melody and atmosphere than they give themselves credit for' might be be more appropriate, for although it is considerably more verbose, it does give a better idea for the unwary. The album opens and closes with piano-centric pieces; "Invocation" is suitably spooky and atmospheric whilst the closing "Vapours" is all broad brushstrokes and epic intensity with some post-rock dynamic thrown in for good measure. These tracks suggest producer Ned Beckley is leaning quite heavily on his main job as a soundtrack composer to bookend the album. In between, whilst the piano remains, it is less dominant and arrangements are agreeably rhythmic and glitchy, with the trombone-textured "Sanctity" being a particular stand-out. There are a lot of pleasing ideas on this album which add up to an album that impresses on first listen and gets better over time. Little appeal? Not a bit of it.
Misty Conditions ~ D'ZZZZ
A collaboration between Henry Collins and Richard Wilson, Misty Conditions play a sort of lo-fi Trap, coupled with the odd blast of glacial ambience to keep things interesting. Collins and Wilson sound like a fairly unpromising duo on the surface, like they should have 'Estate Agents' after their name, but they previously operated as Burnkane (Wilson) and Shitmat (Collins), the latter famed for piling on the bpms and cranking up the distortion on any kind of music he could lay his hands on; it was kind of exhilarating hearing the gabba-in-overdrive that was the result. Some of that approach has carried over to the glitchier moments of D'ZZZZ, with morethan a hint that Misty Conditions aren't taking themselves that seriously, that there's only so much that they'd get away with if they were playing it to a crowd of Trap devotees. The more off-beam tracks are balanced by some more straight-forward tunes, such as "D'mmmm" which weaves cut up R&B vocals – that old stand-by – into a beguiling mixture. At a guess, I'd say it's Wilson who's responsible for the more danceable stuff, with Collins lobbing in the head-scratching moments into the mix. But it's a combination that works well, both personalities meshing to produce a record to make you dance and smile – although not necessarily at the same time.
Morgan Zarate ~ Taker EP
Hitting like a slow motion tumble down the stairs, with the synth power-chording its way through an increasingly epic melody, opener "Pusher Taker" is the standout here. The bassline is supple like a gymnast, the beats crack into position like troops on parade, but Morgan Zarate has programmed the rhythm section to go at half-speed to what you might expect, like the start of Rustie's "Surph", so it's the antidote to all those hopped-up Guetta tracks that have the annoying habit of cropping up every five minutes everywhere you go. Credit too to vocalist Roses Gabor who opts for breathy and enigmatic rather than bellowing out inanities. Taker is a proper EP, with four complementary tracks – "Far Too Late" is the other one with a guest vocalist, with more lurching beats and soaring synths. It's good but not as strong as the opener. The instrumentals, "Katsu" and "Tayo" are equally strong, the latter full of metallic percussion and pounding drums. Zarate and Gabor have clocked up plenty of hours on the dance scene so that they are virtually veterans by now. But Taker is as fresh as anything else around at the moment – a bang and a clatter and the world is theirs.
Params ~ Grids Grains & Waves
This new release from Params both looks and sounds like it is an lost gem from the Clicks & Cuts-era Mille Plateaux label, a undiscovered album that somehow slipped through the cracks and has only just been rediscovered. Albums which today seek to channel the glitch and graininess that seemed ever-present at the turn of the millennium often find they are dragging some influences from the intervening decade along for the ride, but that doesn't happen on Grid Grains & Waves. It is an album that sounds entirely untouched by changes in technology or different approaches to music-making, and is all the fresher for it. As if to underline its old school credentials, Params looks to maths and science for the track titles, so the album opens with "X Rift" and "Y Inductance", with no suggestion of the tongue-in-cheek approach of Misty Conditions above. Listening to Params, the realisation dawns that I haven't immersed myself in this sound for years, and there's probably an entire generation who have missed out on the original wave of glitchy, dubby electronica – in which case investigate Grids Grains & Waves. There's no school like the old school.
Sensum And Clunch ~ Sensum And Clunch
After my recent feature on Holodeck Recordings, I thought I'd better take a break from reviewing their releases, lest it seem like overkill. For a couple of months, it was easy enough to manage but then Sensum and Clunch's eponymous tape thudded through my letterbox – or at least whatever the digital equivalent of that is – and all plans were put on hold. From the opening bars, it was clearly a record too good to ignore for any self-imposed reasons. Sensum and Clunch is a beguiling half-hour of modular synth work, thoughtfully arranged into four stunning pieces of varying melody and density. It's too simplistic to say that S&C are a beatless Boards of Canada, but they capture similar moods and themes in their work, and fans of the Scottish duo are directed to this without reservation. If there's anybody left, then just imagine soaking in a bath of analogue synth music, making little waves in the surface, blowing foam bubbles and pushing a duck around – OK, it's quite an indulgent bath and it does stretch the analogy somewhat, but if you want to lie back and let music wash over you then stick Sensum and Clunch in your tape deck.
Stitched Vision ~ Headland
Back when long playing vinyl records strode the earth and only a few brave souls armed with huge banks of synthesizers made electronic music, it was very much the norm to indulge in a side-long piece. Stick four, maybe five, shorter – in theory, 'poppier' – tunes on one side, but have the other to really indulge the artistic vision. It's a trend that is becoming fashionable once more, partly I think because of the cassette market; the clear delineation of sides that was lost with CDs now makes a side-long track more feasible rather than sticking a 20+ minute track in the middle of the running order. It's almost happening with Stitched Vision; whilst "Coastal Plains" clearly captures the spirit of the side-long epic, it's sharing a side on the tape with the short "Repose". Thus another theory fails when faced with reality – but it still works as a notion because "Coastal Plains" is immense. Stitched Vision plays nice with the synth burble-and-chatter on side one, which is pleasant and creates a fairly relaxing mood for the listener – continued into "Repose" – before his darker, edgier side takes over and we're greeted by a strangely uplifting metallic-edged drone that half-masks a constant, slowly undulating bassline. It's a harsh sound in the context of the rest of the album – almost industrial in a way – but it grabs the attention whilst the track slowly unwinds around it, evolving over its 17 minute duration. There are clearly two sides to Stitched Vision stylistically – this excellent cassette underlines the idea in a very literal way.
Ultramarine ~ This Time Last Year
Wow, this is a blast from the past, and a welcome one at that. Ultramarine first appeared in 1990 with debut album Folk before creating the popular favourite Every Man And Woman Is A Star and then, arguably, their masterpiece United Kingdoms. The history lesson is worthwhile because a) I was a fan at the time, and b) their influence has grown over the years, with their brand of bucolic, folky techno becoming increasingly prevalent. Ultramarine were well aware of their own lineage that stretched back to the Canterbury jazz/prog scene of the early 70s, hence their collaborations with Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers; even though the sound was different the spirit was the same and there was a lot more England than Detroit in those early records – although they were not completely insular, drafting in Carl Craig on remix duties to sparkle some techno dust on "Hooter". The duo themselves shifted styles a bit after United Kingdoms but for their first album for 15 years, they are audibly touching on the Every Man And Woman sound. The basslines are punchy and fluid, the keyboards jazzy in places, and the carefully edited vocals provide a little extra colour in places. At times, in fact, on the likes of "Dugout" and "Eye Contact", it feels like the only electronic element here is the drums, with real instrumentation carefully layered over the top. The stand-out track "Within Reach" is just a delight; in fact the whole album is wonderful, pastoral electronica as it should be done, by a couple of past-masters. It touches on the old Ultramarine but isn't dragged down by it, so there's plenty for the newcomer to enjoy, and for the long term fan, it definitely has its 'something in my eye' moments.
Vampire Slayer ~ Makeout Weird
An album with a shadowy, monochrome(-ish) cover and tracks titled "Feet Fetish" and "Nosebleed" may suggest something really dark and industrial, but Vampire Slayer avoids going too far in that direction and ends up with a record that balances the edgy and the accessible with aplomb. There's the hiss of a drone at the start of "Yoma" but that ends up built around a choral vocal sample; the beats that open "Road Kill" are a brutal level of techno – but the Slayer pulls out of that a minute or so in and mixes in a much more textured percussive rhythm instead. It's almost like an industrial album with ADHD, trying something really harsh before abandoning for something else, often lighter and more melodic. As such it's a curious listening experience and not one that sits easily in any electronic pigeonhole. Despite its shifts in mood, often mid-track, Makeout Weird is a pretty likeable album, the ideas tumbling out over themselves with producer Valentin Torres almost struggling to keep up. It's not an album if you want to settle in for a consistent 30-40 minutes of music, but if you want to be surprised by a change in direction a couple of times every track, then the Vampire Slayer's your guy.

For people in advertising, this has meant a shift towards constant vigilance and trying to instantaneously shift gears.
Unfortunately, not all trends are wise for every business to follow.
Here are some of the top marketing trends of 2013 that you need to be careful with, and may want to avoid altogether.
Optimizing everything all the time. SEO has become such a ubiquitous and arguably important aspect of making yourself known on the web that proponents are suggesting that businesses use keywords everywhere.
That means not only on the static pages of their website and in blogs (which makes sense), but also in things like white papers, emails, newsletters, in guest posts, and even in the blurb that you create when you put your company into directory services.
In theory, all of these mentions of "Idaho cheap tires" will raise your profile and bring more people to your business, but companies would be wise to remember the reason why search engines keep changing the way they decide rankings—too much of something adds up to a whole lot of nothing and turns off consumers.
Ignoring campaigns. With the instant feedback businesses have access to in today's marketplace, some gurus are suggesting that companies eschew the marketing campaign altogether and simply act (or, rather, react) based on how people are responding in real time. The problem with this "fly by the seat of your pants" methodology is manifold.
First, people tend to be incredibly fickle, and if you're trying to do an about face every time something seems to change, you're going to end up chasing your tail. Second, advertising is a creative endeavor; you can't just pull good ideas that stick with people out of the air—at least, not on a consistent basis. Should your campaign have flexibility? Sure. But don't simply decide not to come up with one.
Just creating content. We've moved into a phase of marketing where both everything and nothing is an advertisement at the same time. What does that mean? Well, experts know that people don't want to be sold all the time (which you really shouldn't take an expert to tell you), so they are convincing more and more companies to focus on creating quality content and making themselves experts in their respective field.
This is done through methods such as writing blogs, submitting guest posts on other big sites, creating and giving away white papers and eBooks, and generally just providing people with information and entertainment for free so that they'll like and respect you and (hopefully) keep coming back. Eventually, the point of this is to slowly lead people toward your products and services so that they'll be more likely to buy from you when they get there.
But the problem is that a lot of businesses spend so much time and energy on the first half of this process that they ignore the second half—the part where they're actually getting money by converting browsers into customers. Get people to like you, sure, but don't forget that you need them to pay you, too.
Nothing but mobile. If you're in advertising or own a business, you've seen the trends: people are using mobile more than ever before, and the numbers just keep going up by leaps and bounds. Companies that ignore the mobile market are doing so at their own risk, because that's a lot of people to just write off. In fact, you might be smart just to put all of your marketing resources into mobile and really work to build that audience.
While mobile is certainly important, no one short of a few companies whose entire demographic is mobile should forget about the rest of their audience—which, by the way, is still the vast majority of almost every single company's customers. Yes, mobile is growing by leaps and bounds but it's still just a fraction of the rest of the market.

ODIs between India and Pakistan-1
June 19, 2019 abn397 India-Pakistan cricket, Indian cricket, Inzamam-ul-Haq, MS Dhoni, ODI cricket, Pakistani cricket, RG Sharma, Saeed Anwar, Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, SR Tendulkar, V Kohli, V Sehwag	India-Pakistan cricket, Indian cricket, Inzamam-ul-Haq, MS Dhoni, ODI cricket, Pakistani cricket, RG Sharma, Saeed Anwar, Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, SR Tendulkar, V Kohli, V Sehwag
It seems unlikely that there will be any bilateral series between India and Pakistan for quite some time. It has already been decided that India will not play Pakistan in the group stages of the World Test Championship.
So this seems to be a good time to look back at the records of ODIs between India and Pakistan (not just in the World Cup).
Of a total of 132 ODIs between the sides, India has won 55, Pakistan 73, no ties and No Result 4.
In India: 30 matches; Ind 11, Pak 19.
In Pakistan: 27 matches; Ind 11, Pak 14, NR 2.
In Neutral venues: 75 matches; Ind 33, Pak 40, NR 2.
Looking at individual figures:
Batting:
500 or more runs:
Headed by the older players who had more opportunities to play these matches. Among current players there is Shoaib Malik (1782) and MS Dhoni (1231).
The most centuries are 5 by Tendulkar, followed by 4 by several others.
The most 50+ scores are also led by Tendulkar with 21. Next is 16 by Inzamam and Dravid.
Highest innings: 110 and more:
Saeed Anwar's 194 was a record in all ODIs for several years. The highest score in recent years is RG Sharma's 140 in the current World Cup.
Highest Averages (Minimum 20 innings, 30.00 and above):
A number of current players such as Kohli are not here as they have not played 20 innings. Dhoni and Shoaib Malik have the highest averages among current players.
Highest Strike Rates (Minimum 500 balls faced, 80.00 and above):
Shahid Afridi and Sehwag lead as one would expect. Kohli, Dhoni and RG Sharma have the highest strike rates among current players.
To be continued:
