Anthony Davis Believes Lakers Need To Cut Down On 'My Bad' Plays
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers News: Darvin Ham Addresses Russell Westbrook's Questionable Late-Game Decisions
Something is not working for the Los Angeles Lakers as they suffered their fifth straight loss on Friday night at the hands of the Sacramento Kings to fall to 2-10.
The Lakers' margin for error with this roster is very thin, and it gets even thinner when a player of LeBron James' caliber is not playing due to injury. Anthony Davis understands that, previously stating that he needs to be more vocal and aggressive in James' absence.
That didn't lead to a win on Friday night though as the Lakers fell short in what was a back-and-forth contest. After the game, Davis was asked if players are showing accountability and while he believes they are, he also expressed that they need to do a better job of actually correcting their mistakes.
"There's a lot of, like, 'My bads,' which is good," Davis said. "But we can't have a lot of 'my bads,' especially during the course of the game. So guys are seeing what we're doing wrong on film and we talk about it. 'That's on me. I got to do it. I got to get this rebound. I got to box out. I got to send him over the screen.' Whatever. 'Set a better screen,' whatever the instance might be.
"But a lot of times, those are the plays that are killing us. So the 'my bads' are good so guys are knowing of their mistakes, but close-game situations, down the stretch, there's some 'my bad' situations that we can't have. It kind of costs us the game."
The most glaring case of this came in the second quarter when the Lakers opened up a 13-point lead, playing some of their best basketball of the season. Some costly turnovers and silly fouls led to a Kings run to close the quarter though, cutting the Lakers' lead to just four going into the locker room and giving their opponents momentum to build off in the second half.
While Davis believes the Lakers have shown they can have a high IQ, it's the runs like that he wasn't happy with.
"We have our moments. Have our moments where our IQ is high and our moments when our IQ was very low — from everyone. I think we've got to do a better job of having an awareness of time-score situation. For example, like the end of the first half, they're going on a run, 6-0 run — 'slow it down. We've got to get a quality look.' Even if you miss, they're not getting out in transition. Going into the fourth quarter, we start the fourth quarter with two turnovers.
"Things like that where it's like … we've got to play winning basketball. Especially the way we're playing, our record, we damn near have to play perfect basketball. A lot of times, it's self-inflicted, which is the most frustrating."
While Davis makes good points, eventually the Lakers are going to have to apply what he's saying to the court or else the losses will continue to pile up and the season will be lost.
Ham echoes Davis' thoughts
Lakers head coach Darvin Ham shared a similar sentiment as Davis after the game when it comes to the Lakers beating themselves.
"It's just, you know, again, self-inflicted mistakes, whether we're fouling or losing an assignment, or we turn the ball over," Ham said. "Again, we got to be better, you know, we got to coach them harder, coach them better. Just make sure we're communicating clearly. And so they can, we can put them in the chance and position to be successful.
"It's the NBA, man. You throw records out the window. You give to any type of life. Normally, they're gonna capitalize on it. And Sacramento did tonight. Even though they got down early, they kept fighting. They're a hungry young team with a lot of offensively skilled players. Mike [Brown] is a hell of a coach, and they're not gonna stop coming. They're not gonna stop coming. So, we have some lows and, again, self-inflicted wounds that we definitely need to correct. We got 70 games left, but at some point, we got to stop saying that, right? We got to stop putting the proof in the pudding. And so tomorrow, you know, we'll sleep on it tonight. Go over, watch the film, come tomorrow, have a good film session, a good practice and be ready for Brooklyn on Sunday."

National Oilwell Varco: Buy This Winner
National Oilwell Varco (NOV) is losing orders and is unable to add new contracts for its rig system that accounts nearly 50% of its total revenue. Moreover, on account of these order cancellations, its backlog value for the quarter decreased 51% to $6.09 billion year-over-year and about 24% sequentially. The worst part is that NOV is not able to materialize the backlog into revenue. For instance, the company's realized revenue out this backlog came in at $843 million during the fourth-quarter, down 35% sequentially and about 63% year-over-year.
Facing a lot of weakness
Thus, it is not surprising that its rig system revenue for the fourth-quarter fell 60% to $1.01 billion as compared to $2.5 billion in the fourth-quarter of 2014.
In fact, the revenue for the rig system slumped approximately 32% on the sequential basis, primarily driven by sharply lower shipments out of the backlog as stated above.
Unsurprisingly, the company expects its rig system revenue in the first-quarter 2016 to further decline in the high single-digit percentage range and revenue out of the backlog to decrease to around $775 million. Overall, it anticipates its revenue to be down by more than 20% from $2.7 billion in the fourth-quarter of 2015.
However, all was not bad for the company, as National Oilwell Varco in an effort to restructure the company to the extended low oil and gas prices is taking various other steps to strengthen its financial position. These steps include a reduction in debt, cut in dividend and reduction in costs that should improve its cash flow going forward.
For instance, the company throughout last year reduced the global workforce, including contract labor by 21%, and closed 75 facilities since mid-2014 to retrench to a smaller, more efficient footprint. In total the company reduced its SG&A cost by 28% year-over-year that now translates into an annualized cost savings of about $600 million.
More importantly, it expects the restructuring to continue in the first-half of 2016. Therefore, it is actively scaling facilities to single shifts, consolidating locations, and implementing other cost-control initiatives that should have some positive impact on the margin going forward. In fact, the company has recently announced to reduce its quarterly dividend to $0.05 per share going forward in response to challenging market conditions from the dividend of $0.45 per share, it paid to the shareholders in the fourth-quarter of 2015. National OilWell expects this reduction in dividend to improve its cash flow by approximately $615 million per year going forward.
In addition, NOV during the final quarter of 2015 reduced its net debt position by $287 million. The most important thing is that the company during the ongoing quarter has additionally reduced its total debt by approximately $500 million. This is a good move as it will reduce its net interest, supporting its cash flow at the end. The company has an operating cash flow of $1.33 billion for the last twelve months and its fee cash flow of $1.08 billion for trailing twelve months with a total cash position of $2.08 billion that now bodes well with its debt position.
Although, National Oilwell Varco has experienced a noteworthy drop in its financial performance in the last couple of quarters, but its restructuring and cost reduction efforts will help the company to improve its margins going forward. In fact, the company with these initiatives will be in a better position to deliver returns upon the recovery in the rig markets.

Q: Find parameter a for which..
Find parameter $a$ for which $$\frac{ax^2+3x-4}{a+3x-4x^2}$$ takes all real values for $x \in  \mathbb{R}$

I have equated the function to a real value, say, k
which gets me a quadratic in x. I have then put $D\geq 0$ (since $x \in \mathbb{R}$) which gets me $a \geq -9/16$
How do I proceed further to get other parameter for $a $?

A: Find $a$ so that the equation
$$y= \frac{a x^2+3x -4}{-4x^2+3x+a}$$
has a root which is in the domain of the function
The discriminant must be $\geq 0$ for all $y$
$$(9+16a)y^2+\left(4a^2+46\right)y +(9+16a)\geq 0$$
This is the case if its discriminant is negative and $9+16a>0$
$$16 (-7+a) (-1+a) (4+a)^2<0$$
which says $a$ must be in the interval $(1,7)$

A: $ a \geq -9/16$ is not correct.  For $ a \leq -9/16$ the domain of the function $f(x)=\frac{ax^2+3x-4}{a+3x-4x^2}$ is $ \mathbb R.$

Once the overall artistic edit of your book is complete, as we have seen in Part 1, then the technical aspects (or the science of writing) must be addressed. The first step is to determine which stylebook will be used. We all had English in school and were taught there was only one way to write something, but that is no longer true in contemporary writing. For example, whether or not to use the serial comma in a combination of three adjectives is hotly debated. Is it "red, white and blue" or "red, white, and blue"? Whether you add the comma or not, the way to avoid having to constantly make decisions throughout the piece is to determine in advance your style and stick with it. That can be easily accomplished by utilizing a stylebook such as The Chicago Manual of Style, the AP Stylebook, or what we use, The Christian Manual of Style that state guidelines on how to address almost every grammar or punctuation question you may have.
Consistency describes the science of good writing. When a publisher receives a manuscript, beyond the initial creative idea behind it, he or she looks for solid, consistent writing. Remember, how you treat a word or punctuation in one chapter must be the way you do it in the next. The publisher may use a different stylebook than you did, but he or she will see that you maintained the same style throughout the article or book, which is a definite plus for you.
Using the dictionary, which can easily be accomplished on a computer with a dictionary app, is another necessary tool in our arsenal, especially helping with many of today's compound words. Since English is a living language, compound words seem to evolve over the years. Perhaps some time ago a compound word was hyphenated but not now. Hand in hand with the dictionary, using a spellchecker after you have completed your manuscript can reveal typos that might easily be overlooked.
Both the art and the science of editing are important, but most of us are usually not as strong in the sciences (grammar) as in the arts (creativity) and vice versa. As writers we are hard-wired that way, although we can improve our skills in our weakest areas. However, having another editor who is thoroughly trained in both aspects of editing can greatly improve the readability of your text.


We got back from an awesome vacation in Kauai about a week ago! This was my third trip to Hawaii, but my first time on the island of Kauai. The past two visits were to Maui. Maui is great for families – there are plenty of sandy beaches and activities to enjoy. Kauai, on the other hand, is smaller and less commercialized. The landscape is unbelievably lush and hiking is amazing on Kauai. I've come up with 10 tips to make the most of your visit.
1. Rent a convertible to enjoy the scenery! Be sure you know how to put the top up quickly in case of sudden showers… And back down for subsequent rainbows!
2. Stay in Poipu on the South shore, where the weather is sunnier than the North shore and sunrises are spectacular.
We loved our stay at the Grand Hyatt, but a condo would be a more budget friendly option next time.
3. Bring a blender. There's a Costco and Walmart on the island and lots of roadside fruit stands for stocking up on smoothie ingredients. This will save money on dining out, since food on Kauai is expensive.
I made that pineapple smoothie in our hotel room!
4. Hike the Kalalau trail to Hanakapiai falls. This was my favorite hike on the island! It starts out with 2 miles along cliffs overlooking the ocean and continues for 2 more miles inland through lush jungle. It's like the garden of Eden. Take a dip under the 300 foot waterfall before hiking back out.
We found a kitten in the jungle!
5. Have a drink at the St. Regis Princeville overlooking Hanalei Bay. This resort is very ritzy! You'll feel fancy sipping on a cocktail here.
6. Take a sunrise beachside yoga class or a killer interval training class with Ani at the Anara Spa. Getting a workout early in the morning will help you fully relax and enjoy being on island time the rest of the day.
This trainer is 67 and legendary! She's even on a t-shirt.
7. Hike near Waimea Canyon. Check out the lookout at the very end of the diet road!
8. Hike the sleeping giant trail for amazing views of the coconut coast.
9. Take a cliffside nature walk at Mahaulepu and look for the sinkhole.
10. After all the hiking, relax on the beach or beside one of the Grand Hyatt's swimming pools. The Hyatt's pools are amazing! Pools are connected by a lazy river and 150 foot water slide. At the bottom of the series of pools, you can relax by the salt water lagoon. Even if you don't stay at the Hyatt, be sure to check out their pool!
Colby and I loved the island of Kauai! We can't wait to go back.


I decided at the end of last year to participate in The Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge for 2012. I have my list over on my Goodread profile, but I suppose I should put it here as well. You know, in case one of my three followers are interested, because they're awesome. (Don't be jealous.) I have twelve chosen for now, but I have a feeling that I will be adding more as I go along (and removing others). When I finish and review the book, I'll make the title a link to it. As always, my reviews will be on Goodreads, but I'm sure I'll give an informal spew of nonsense over here.
WOW, lots of great choices. As one of your 5th readers I say good luck on your challenge. I have so many going on, I am not sure I could add another one.
I can't believe I haven't seen this before now! Thank you so much for following me! This is my first time to do a challenge, but it's easy because I already want to read all of these books!

Photo: Women Campaiging Against Alcohol Consumption, location unknown
The following is scanned from Mother [Eliza Daniel] Stewart, Memories of the Crusade, a Thrilling Account of the Great Uprising of the Women of Ohio in 1873, Against the Liquor Crime (Columbus: Wm. G. Hubbard & Co.:273- )
South Charleston, a pretty and prosperous town in our county, Clark, opened the war on the saloons the same way we did. Of the work in this town, I find myself possessed of a description written, at my request, about the time I sailed for England, by Mrs. Virginia Holmes, one of the most active laders. Reading it this morning, more than a dozen years after the events so vividly portrayed, my heart thrilled and the tears sprang to my eyes as it brought back the scenes of those wonderful days.
The women of to-day have, through a baptism of suffering, developed a new phase in the history of their sex. Men for ages have been worshiping, not God, but a hideous serpent, whose mammoth proportions have enabled it to swallow relentlessly myriads of votaries, who have offered themselves living sacrifices to its insatiable demands.
The mother or wife readily recognizes in this creature Strong Drink, and in its victims, father, husband, sons. In the fear of the Lord, and praying for his guidance and protection, taking the sword of the Spirit, and the shield of faith, with the helmet of salvation, and the banner of our Savior's love over us, we marched straight into the presence of our enemy. He raised his head, shot out his forked tongue and thought to frighten us.
But we said in the name of the Lord Jesus and suffering humanity we come. And as the mouths of the lions of old were stopped, so was the power of this beast to harm restrained, and the semblance of death fell upon him for about the space of four months. But, alas, even in this seeming death he deceived the too confident, who were thereby thrown off their watch-tower. Nevertheless the nation has been aroused as never before,and though we did not succeed in entirely conquering our enemy, we did awaken the public sentiment, and the work goes on and will till we do gain the victory.
Fancy the strangeness of the work; we, who had never in all our lives entered one of the dens, where the beast made his lair, were brought face to face with him day and night, till his hated visage became familiar. We did also make the discovery that some rum-sellers at least were susceptible of better impulses than their business engendered or fostered. Though we watched their bars incessantly to prevent the traffic, they treated us with uniform courtesy with but few exceptions. One instance I think of on a bitter cold morning, when our patrols were almost perishing with cold, two ladies entered one of the most dreaded saloons. The keeper professed great solicitude for their comfort, and proceeded to close all ventilation, and with bar-room stove at whiteheat, and about a dozen stalwart tobacco-chewers spitting all over it, the situation was fearful. They came near fainting, but they did not yield their post till, fortunately, a couple of their sisters hearing of their situation, came and called them away to another point. The wife of this man assisted him in the sale of liquor, and vindicated the female character even in wickedness, for while the men were usually polite she was abusive.
But the charity that endureth all things, hopeth all things, sustained this consecrated band of women through all trials, whether of patience, faith or physical endurance.
Our Crusade lasted eight weeks, in the months of February and March, in the midst of the most inclement weather. Day after day we marched the streets, watching inside and out of saloons, never allowing a moment in which an unobserved sale could be made. We met alternately at the two churches for prayer and business meetings in the morning, and again in the afternoon, in order to form our line of march to the saloons, at each of which we formed our positions into two lines, one on each side of the pavement. Then we sang those precious hymns that will always be remembered as the rallying cry of the army that expect yet to take the citadel of this archenemy of mankind. And then such petitions would ascend as have seldom touched the great heart of the Father, because they were carried straight to the throne on the strong pinions of faith in His beloved Son, and direct answers came as a benediction to all hearts.
We were armed with the various pledges for saloonkeepers, property-holders, druggists and drinkers, and constantly presented them through committees appointed for the purpose. We sought in all our intercourse with those engaged in the business to have our hearts controlled by the charity that suffereth long and is kind, that is not easily provoked. And we relied firmly upon our Savior's promise, "My grace is sufficient for you," and we were not confounded. Our male citizens did all they could under the circumstances for our comfort and the advancement of our cause. In one instance they achieved almost a miracle. We held two mass-meetings each week in the renown Hall, which were the largest and most enthusiastic meetings ever held in our place. It was at one of these, after the work had been progressing some time, and the weather bitterly inclement, that a large-hearted gentleman proposed to raise funds for the building of a church right in the enemy's stronghold, there being a vacant lot just suited for the purpose. This occurred on Friday night. The money was raised, and all the carpenters and men gave an herculean lift to the wheel,and the next day-Saturday-at 2 o'clock, our church was regularly dedicated to the service of God, and stood there before us a monument of faith and works, with floor, roof, windows,seats and glowing stove,all complete.
How thankful we felt for this special providence in our favor. Our Church overlooked the whole rum traffic in our place. :From it the saloon-keepers could hear the voices of prayer and supplication ascending in their behalf, and in its erection they saw a determination of purpose that thoroughly awed them. It was not long till they began signing our pledge, one at a time, tin every saloon was emptied, swept and garnished-scrubbed out, I should say, and groceries put in.
Never shall I forget the night on which we received the intelligence of our first very important surrender. Our meeting was unusually crowded that night, and near the close a messenger brought us the glad tidings, when instantly all were on their feet; and accompanied by our brass band, we poured forth like the sound of many waters,
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow."
We then formed a triumphal procession, and men and women and children marched to the saloon. The band serenaded them while those most interested shook hands with and congratulated them as they stood in their door. Who will blame us for feeling unspeakably happy, for we saw the light gleaming over the hill tops.
At each surrender we had all the church and school-bells ring out their loudest peals. All our ladies who could, went into the work, for this was no partisan movement ¡ all distinction of church, politics and cast was ignored, and the sound of thanksgiving went up as that of one voice. Religiously speaking, we had a short millennium. Oh, how glorious it was!
But this sin-cursed world of ours is not well adapted to a millennial condition. The arch enemy has not yet been chained, or entirely shorn of his power to hurt, or work evil. What a consolation it is to the weary toiler that the Savior has said, "Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom," with the blessed assurance, "Ye shall reap if ye faint not ' After our village was entirely purged, we found our work very much damaged by a small country saloon about three miles out. So we called a council of war and decided to march against it. And here again our brethren came to our aid. They hauled great quantities of wood and piled it near this house, and furnished us with conveyances. Thus aided, we boldly moved out into the woods and weather, and commenced our camping gypsy fashion. We made a log fire well heaped up, drew our conveyance near the fire, and having provided ourselves with heavy wraps,we commenced our picket guard, never omitting our religious services.
The melting snow made the ground uncomfortable. so we procured some boards, and what with our buffaloes and comforts we managed nicely. The many had by this time dwindled to the few, the true and the tried, those who had put on the whole armor. A strange sight we must have presented in our gypsy camp, minus the tents. Singing, praying and eating, for we did not forget each day to partake of our picnic dinner, jointly contributed. Our hearts were warm and glad. For were we not instruments in the Father's hands for the pulling down of the strongholds of crime and sin?
I must tell of one bitter morning when the snow had fallen so deep, and it was altogether so unpropitious that only two of us went out. We found no blazing fire,but dead, black logs, all covered over with snow. I went through the snow and asked for a broom, which was kindly lent me. We then swept off the snow as well as we could, and with some kindlings we had brought with us, we proceeded to kindle a fire. Slow work, but accomplished at last. We drew our carriage near the fire, then unfastened our horse and found him as sheltered a place as possible. But the poor creature was a pet and a hot-house plant, and protested vigorously against crusading in such dreadful weather. We encouraged him with kind words, and did our own duty and came home at night with health unimpaired, which seemed to us a most special providence. Several similar demonstrations of determination convinced the besieged that we were inexorable as fate, and in two week's time we had the pleasure of bringing his liquors to our church, where with singing, prayer and much thanksgiving we poured it into the street, fondly but foolishly hoping that the last stream of poison that had so long desolated our fair heritage was forever dried up. For a short time our village seemed an Eden. But soon the same old serpent lifted his head again, and our forces were no longer in the field to dispute his right. Well may we cry, "How long, oh Lord, how long?"

Oliver resigns as football coach at LWC
Chris Oliver has resigned as Lindsey Wilson College football coach, LWC athletics director Willis Pooler announced today.
Oliver departs after 12 seasons and a 105-34 record. He helped lead the Blue Raiders to five divisional titles, seven playoff appearances, and the 2020 national championship after becoming Lindsey Wilson's first head coach in 2010.
"Coach Oliver did a fantastic job during his tenure here," Pooler said. "To build a football program from scratch and win a national championship in 11 short years is a remarkable accomplishment.
"Although the winning is great, I mostly appreciate the countless successes he had helping our student-athletes blossom into well-prepared and equipped adults," Pooler added. "We will forever be grateful for his contribution to our athletics department and institution. He leaves us with the premier NAIA football program in the country and we are excited about the future."
The Blue Raiders reached the NAIA Football Championship Series National Semifinals for a third straight year this season, finishing the season with a 12-1 record.

YouTube's plan to replace cable TV just took a big leap forward — but it also exposed a critical turf war for the future of television

YouTube TV now enables users to obtain DVR copies of shows from every content provider save one.
CBS is the only network on YouTube TV not to make a DVR copy of its shows available on the multi-channel service.
This is likely one of the legacies of Les Moonves, the former CBS CEO.
Moonves was unparalleled at putting together popular TV shows, but his record indicates he never had a good grasp of the Internet or what it means to viewers.
YouTube TV gave a long-awaited gift to it customers this week: It let them skip ads.
YouTube's subscription TV service rolled out new DVR capabilities that let users pause, rewind and fast-forward their favorite shows, including fast-forwarding past commercials.
That sounds like a no-brainer, but the fact that Google-owned YouTube has only now introduced the ad-skipping feature on its TV service highlights the ongoing turf war between the traditional TV networks and the new breed of digital streaming services.
And what's really interesting about the new DVR capabilities on YouTube TV is the one name that's missing. Look closely at the list of networks supporting the new DVR functions and you'll see NBC Universal, Disney, Turner, AMC and Fox.
Three letters that you won't see are CBS.
YouTube declined to comment on why the new DVR features don't support CBS, and CBS did not return a request for comment.
Fighting the last war
In fact, CBS's absence is likely one of the legacies of Les Moonves, CBS' former CEO who resigned last month after numerous women claimed he sexually harassed or assaulted them (Moonves has denied the allegations).
Moonves had a nearly unparalleled run of success at CBS. The network typically finished at the top of the ratings. And Moonves' response to the rise of Internet distribution and the disruption that it brought was to fight it.
He argued TV couldn't survive if commercials were removed and he stubbornly defended them. When CBS and the other top broadcasters brought a copyright suit against Aereo, Moonves was one of the most vocal critics of the service.
"If the government wants to give them permission to steal our signal," Moonves told Reuters in 2014, "then we will come up with some other way to get them our content and still get paid for it."
Aereo relied on tiny TV antennas to capture shows from over the free airwaves and then distributed the content via the web. Since over-the-air broadcasts are available to the public free of charge, Aereo argued it didn't need to obtain distribution licenses. Aereo prevailed in the courts until the case went to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it ruled 6-3 in favor of the TV networks. Aereo shut down soon after.
An absurd distinction
But prevailing in the courtroom is not the same as prevailing in the marketplace, and CBS is now the lone holdout clinging to the old ways.
Most TV broadcasters and cable-show providers now understand that TV viewers would generally much prefer not to sit through 30-second commercials. And most content owners are looking for ways to adapt.
At the heart of the YouTube TV update is a distinction that consumers don't care about and shouldn't have to think about.
It comes down to a difference between two versions of the same program: An "on-demand" version, which includes specially-inserted ads that cannot be skipped, and a DVR recording of the original show as it was aired live, which means users can fast-forward everything, including the ads.
For a long time, subscribers were prevented from accessing DVR versions on YouTube TV if a video-on-demand version of the show was available. This meant the content guys were bucking the wishes of their fans.
The other TV networks have had a change of heart and have cut deals with YouTube to give consumers DVR. In an era where viewers have so many choices —not just between TV shows but with videogames, Facebook, the web — that makes sense.
We don't know what kind of financial terms YouTube offered in order to get the networks to agree to the new licensing terms. There are billions of dollars of ad revenue at stake and as CBS shows, the chess match between the old guard and the new is still very much unresolved.

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos chapter, has reached final decision on the governorship candidate to support for next Saturday's elections.
Ohanaeze yesterday adopted the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as its governorship candidate.
According to Ohanaeze, the decision became imperative following the outcome of February 23 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Ohanaeze pointed out that both the APC and PDP candidates are Lagosians, adding that the Igbo have no reason to fight, but look out for the candidate who will protect their interest.
Ohanaeze reached the decision at a town hall meeting of stakeholders at the MUSON Centre, Lagos on Sunday.
President of Ohanaeze Lagos, Solomon Ogbonna, said Igbo in Lagos decided to vote the APC candidate because, "he is a leader who will be there for us, and he is a man we can trust.
"Sanwo-Olu is the best thing that can happen to the Igbo in Lagos; he is a God sent to the Igbo.
The Ohanaeze President regretted the harassment of Igbo traders in parts of Lagos after the presidential election.
He, therefore, called on Igbos to be more united and show love and concern as it is only through love and unity they can be protected.


Those are some lofty goals, especially as the Alliance is in its early stages regarding the development of autonomous, or self-driving, cars.
Renault-Nissan has goals of bringing more than 10 autonomous cars to market by 2020. However, even more intriguing, is the fact that every single autonomous model that it will introduce will be mass-produced and affordable. Imagine a self-driving Ford Model T. The Alliance plans to launch several vehicles that will feature advanced self-driving technologies and will have a high level of autonomy.
The Alliance said it will not roll out a fully-autonomous car right away, but rather introduce various self-driving technologies in several stages over the next years. The first autonomous feature that will be launched is called single-lane control, and it will be available later this year. Cars that will be equipped with this feature will be able to operate completely independently on the highway, as long as it stays in one lane, as well as on city streets.
In 2018, the plan is to give cars the ability to change lanes while driving themselves on highways, which means they will be able to overtake other vehicles and avoid various obstacles on the road on their own. And then, by the end of the decade, a feature that allows cars to drive through intersections and move on crowded city streets without any input from a human driver, which would be one of the latest stages before achieving full autonomy.


(CNSNews.com) - In a speech at Morgan State University in Maryland on Friday evening, First Lady Michelle Obama said that she fell in love with Barack Obama because of his character.
"My job in Charlotte I thought was pretty easy, because I had the pleasure and the honor of talking about the man I have loved and admired for 23 years and why I decided to marry him," said Mrs. Obama. "See, everybody liked my speech, but I had good material to work with.
"I've been sharing our story a little bit, but I want the young people to pay attention because, see, back when I first met Barack, we started dating, he had everything going for him," she said. "All right, ladies, listen to this. This is what I want you to be looking for. Yes, he was handsome--still is. I think so. He was charming, talented, and oh-so smart, truly. But that is not why I married him.
"Now, see, I want the fellas to pay attention to this. You all listening?" said Mrs. Obama. "What truly made me fall in love with Barack Obama was his character. You hear me? It was his character. It was his decency, his honesty, his compassion and conviction."


Someone far more creative and clever than I will ever be read my book, Storyworthy: Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life Through the Power of Storytelling and created this amazing illustrated set of notes.
If you read the book, you'll see how remarkably accurate these notes are. They truly capture the most important aspects of my instruction.
Its also always an incredible honor to see someone engaging in something I have made in such a meaningful, personal, and creative way.
Makes me feel terrible for never building a diorama based upon a Kurt Vonnegut novel or never writing an epic poem about Ben Gunn's life on Treasure Island.

I'm sure many of you have heard the word Dementia in the news quite a bit in the last day or so. Following a brain biopsy, it was discovered that the world famous actor and comedian, Robin Williams, had a form of Dementia called Lewy Body Dementia. Due to a misdiagnosis he was not given the right cocktail of medications for his disease. Regardless of conclusion to this great man's story, he was a man suffering with a disease that effects roughly 5 million people in the United States. Dementia is a major factor that contributes to senior mortality rate. As we age it is of upmost importance to stay as healthy as possible and keep healthcare professionals and family caregivers involved.
For those who are aging or suffering from dementia, growing health needs need to become a priority. There are many things you can do to make the general aging process a little easier. If you do happen to develop a disease, there are measures that can help in the early discovery of the disease, thus giving you a better chance for management of the disease with therapy and medication. A post on the Senior Living Blog yesterday had some great suggestion. Though the article does not refer to dementia or other diseases directly, we have found these tips to be very helpful in that area. The article is titled "10 Healthy Habits for Seniors to Keep." Some of our favorite tips were, "2. Focus on Prevention" and "4. Visit the Dentist Every 6 Months." Check out the rest of the post here.
Dementia is a very hard disease to deal with, and at times can be challenging to diagnose. Ultimately the best thing you can do is create a health routine for yourself and involve family and loved ones. If something with your body or mind seems out of the ordinary, get it checked out. We all age and deteriorate, but enjoy life, and stay on top of your health!
Here is a link to the recent article about Robin Williams.


David Ferrer will face Frances Tiafoe in the third round of the Miami Open presented by Itau.
David Ferrer loves competing. It doesn't matter if he's retiring in just more than a month after the Mutua Madrid Open. His current ATP Ranking of No. 155 doesn't mean much to him. The former World No. 3 simply enjoys leaving every ounce of physical and emotional energy he has out on the court.
The Spaniard's victory against second seed Alexander Zverev to reach the third round of the Miami Open presented by Itau on Saturday night wasn't just a win, though. It was a moment.
"It means a lot because for me it's a really special day. It's my last year playing professional tennis and winning this type of match against a Top 10 player like Sascha is a gift," Ferrer told ATPTour.com. "I'm really happy. Now I want to enjoy this moment. I'm trying to enjoy every point and every moment that I still have."
Zverev cruised through the first set against the wild card, just weeks after dismissing Ferrer in straight sets in Acapulco. Closing out the Spaniard would not have been a surprise.
But Ferrer did not give up, a trait that has in a way defined his career. Instead, he found a way to win, battling past the reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion to earn his first Top 5 victory in more than four years. The tennis world has seen Ferrer's fighting spirit for nearly two decades, and now it gets to pay him back. So as Ferrer scratched and clawed against Zverev, pumping his fist after every tough point he won, the fans showered him with roars of applause.
Ferrer's attitude has earned him the respect of the entire locker room. The 36-year-old has won 27 ATP Tour titles and more than 700 tour-level matches. But his countryman, Feliciano Lopez, says that while everyone knows how good he is on the court, it's the example he set that resonates most with the players.
Perhaps most rewarding for Ferrer will be the future stars of the sport that walk down the path that he set down. Spaniard Jaume Munar, who qualified for the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals, grew up looking up to Ferrer.
A 'retirement tour' of sorts does not change Ferrer's approach. While the 2013 Miami finalist and two-time semi-finalist could ride off into the sunset and nobody would bat an eye, he is still battling. He has no plans of finishing his career quietly.
More than anything else, Ferrer is still keeping his ears open. For a player who has inspired others, he is still picking things up himself. To him, every battle on the court is not just a tennis match, but an opportunity to learn.
"I am learning a lot. I'm trying to learn every day that I'm playing tennis and to listen," Ferrer said. "For me, it's very important to listen to other opinions and the evolution in this sport and also in my life."


This will be the place to discover how a working storyteller collaborates with schools and other educational establishments. It will be quite varied as I work with everyone from early years foundation through to colleges, universities and sessions for adults.
I'll share my experiences of performing in schools and the progress of bigger projects. The outcomes of the bigger projects are rich and varied sometimes it's a live storytelling performance by the groups but often involves making an audio or audio visual version of the story.
These bigger projects are often funded and delivered alongside other artists or with the company that I am co-artistic director of Secret City Arts.

Walters to Christie: "You're a little overweight"
The governor said his weight is not an issue

Gov. Chris Christie thinks his weight is a non-issue when it comes to how well he can do his job.
"There are people who say you couldn't be president because you're so heavy," Barbara Walters said to Gov. Christie in a recent interview. "I mean, that's ridiculous," Christie told Walters. "I don't know what the basis for that is."

So, your company wants to get started on Amazon or you've been contacted by Amazon to be a vendor. What can you do on your end to make sure you're ready for the transition?
For the first time in history, Amazon is taking counterfeit sellers to court. Find out what this means for you and your Amazon account.
A storm is coming! We're not talking a blizzard, tornado, or hurricane, but a sales tax storm that will hit all eCommerce sellers this January.
No one likes to get caught unprepared when a storm hits, so we've created a list of our best tips to help you batten down your records and get ready for the storm.
Instead of bringing just one day of deals to their customers, Amazon is having "35 Days of Deals". The sale which began this week will offer a new deal every 5 minutes until December 22nd. The best sales will be during the "Turkey Five", the five days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday.
Thanksgiving is an American holiday and typically the shopping frenzy that follows the holiday Black Friday has only been observed in the United States. But thanks to Amazon.com the consumers of U.K. and Europe are starting enjoy the American tradition of Black Friday.
While Amazon seller forums are great resources for smaller issues, it's not easy to get clear answers about how to deal with account suspensions, appeals or suspensions from intellectual property right accusations.
This marks a major milestone for Amazon and eCommerce overall as brick and mortar based stores like Macy's, Nordstrom and JCPenny have dominated the industry up to this point. This change in the hierarchy of clothing retail has been long in the making.
Amazon's Video Streaming services have quietly been gaining market share in 2016. While Netflix still holds a majority of the market with 120 million users, Amazon holds the second largest share of the Video Streaming Market with 76.2 million users, 3 million more than originally forecasted.

Q: How to dynamically generate a stack frame with debug log information For better debugging, I would often like to have:
Exception
  at com.example.blah.Something.method()
  at com.example.blah.Xyz.otherMethod()
  at com.example.hello.World.foo()
  at com.example.debug.version_3_8_0.debug_info_something.Hah.method() // synthetic method
  at com.example.x.A.wrappingMethod()

The debug stack frame as shown above would be dynamically generated, just like a java.lang.reflect.Proxy, except that I'd like to be in full control of the entire fully qualified method name that ends up on the proxy.
At the call site, I would do something silly and simple as this:
public void wrappingMethod() {
    run("com.example.debug.version_3_8_0.debug_info_something.Hah.method()", () -> {
        World.foo();
    });
}

As you can see, the wrappingMethod() is a real method that ends up on the stack trace, Hah.method() is a dynamically generated method, whereas World.foo() is again a real method.
Yes, I know this pollutes the already deep deep stack traces. Don't worry about it. I have my reasons.
Is there a (simple) way to do this or something similar as the above?

A: No need for code generation to solve this problem:
static void run(String name, Runnable runnable) {
  try {
    runnable.run();
  } catch (Throwable throwable) {
    StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = throwable.getStackTrace();
    StackTraceElement[] currentStackTrace = new Throwable().getStackTrace();
    if (stackTraceElements != null && currentStackTrace != null) { // if disabled
      int currentStackSize = currentStackStrace.length;
      int currentFrame = stackTraceElements.length - currentStackSize - 1;
      int methodIndex = name.lastIndexOf('.');
      int argumentIndex = name.indexOf('(');
      stackTraceElements[currentFrame] = new StackTraceElement(
          name.substring(0, methodIndex),
          name.substring(methodIndex + 1, argumentIndex),
          null, // file name is optional
          -1); // line number is optional
      throwable.setStackTrace(stackTraceElements);
    }
    throw throwable;
  }
}

With code generation, you could add a method with the name, redefine the call site within the method, unwind the frame and call the generated method but this would be much more work and would never be equally stable.
This strategy is a rather common approach in testing frameworks, we do it a lot in Mockito and also other utilities like JRebel do it to hide their magic by rewriting exception stack frames.
When Java 9 is used, it would be more efficient to do such manipulations using the Stack Walker API.

China-built Buick Envision coming to U.S., GM confirms
Greg Gardner
(Note: This corrects an earlier version to delete a sentence that erroneously said production of the Buick Verano is moving from Orion Township to Mexico.)
Buick confirmed Friday that it will begin selling the Chinese-made Envision crossover in the U.S. next summer and show it at next month's North American International Auto Show despite resistance from the UAW, which would prefer that it be produced in the U.S.
Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick-GMC, told Buick's dealer council Thursday, according to a spokesman.
Bringing Envision to the U.S. fills a gap in the rapidly growing midsize crossover segment, but it was a sore subject during the recently concluded contract talks between General Motors and the UAW. GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler are shifting more small vehicle production outside the U.S.
But the Envision is large enough to be assembled profitably in the U.S. It's comparable in size to the Ford Escape, assembled in Louisville, Ky., and the Jeep Cherokee, now assembled in Toledo but slated to be shifted to Belvidere, Ill.
Cindy Estrada, vice president of the union's General Motors department, again called on the automaker to live up to its pledge to build vehicles where it sells them.
"The company should reconsider this decision and place this product into one of their facilities in the United States of America," the union said in a statement attributed to President Dennis Williams and Estrada. "The men and women of GM who are so proud of their role in saving their own company deserve better and so do the American taxpayers who invested so much in GM's future."
GM told the union it would import the Envision from Yantai, China, where it has produced the vehicle for about a year. Through the first 11 months of 2015 it sold 127,000 of them in China, said Buick spokesman Stuart Fowle . Fowle declined to say how many vehicles can be produced in Yantai, which is part of GM's joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp.
Crossovers are hot. Fowle said the subcompact Encore, which GM builds in Mexico, South Korea and Spain, along with the Enclave, produced in Delta Township west of Lansing, account for 60% of Buick's U.S. sales so far this year.
The Envision is larger than the Encore but smaller than the Enclave. Buick sees it competing with the Lincoln MKC, Acura RDX and the Audi Q5, which gives a general idea of where it will be priced. Buick will release base pricing closer to the time the Envision goes on sale.
When it reaches dealerships next summer, it will have a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, mated with a 6-speed all-wheel drive transmission.

Match Analysis – Leicester City 2-1 Swansea City – Part 2
Date: 2nd September 2016 at 9:50pm
Part 2 of our tactical match analysis as Swansea City lose 2-1 at the champions Leicester City.
Click here for Part 1
Part 1 focused mainly on Swansea's poor midfield shape, how Sigurdsson and Fer pushed forward and leaving Cork to try and manage two Leicester players in the middle third.
This trend continued in the second half, but thankfully we were more balanced when Sigurdsson was replaced by Ki Sung Yueng.
Guidolin was criticised by some for taking Sigurdsson off, but it had to be either him or Fer, and the former is still building up his fitness after his Euro 2016 campaign, and a lack of pre-season training with the squad.
Another problem for the Swans was how the two centre back were splitting wide. This is common in modern football, but a deep-lying midfielder drops in between them to add extra defensive cover in the centre.
Fernandez was often playing in the right back position, which allowed Kyle Naughton to push forward at right back. Jack Cork had to drop in the huge gap between Fernandez and Amat. But as we saw earlier, with Sigurdsson and Fer both playing a high line, this left huge gaps, allowing Leicester to get space in between the lines.
Swansea's shape holding them back in possession
The Swans were never able to enjoy a decent passing spell because of their poor shape, and mainly due to the distance between Fer and Cork, as well as Sigurdsson and Llorente.
Sigurdsson didn't play a single pass to Llorente, with only two passes going from the striker to the midfielder. This is a major problem that will need to be addressed sooner rather than later.
There were far too many moments in the game where Swansea players were stuck for passing options. This led to possession being conceded time and time again.
The above screenshot shows Sigurdsson in a deep role, under pressure from a Leicester player and his only passing option is Kyle Naughton, but he's forced to play a long, aimless pass upfield.
A better, more functional midfield would be capable of switching the play and working it towards Fer and the space they have in that area of the field.
Above is a similar example. The distance is too big between the three central midfielders, Leroy Fer is moving away from Cork – his supposedly holding midfield partner, while Sigurdsson – the attacking midfielder is operating way back in his own half.
Below shows again, Fer moving away from the ball and distance betweem him and Jack Cork.
To help Swansea's passing game below, Leroy Fer really needs to offer himself as a passing option in the space but he doesn't. Jack Cork can't because he's in between the two splitting centre backs and he can't leave Vardy alone in that sort of space.
We didn't actually manage to capture one example where Fer and Cork played alongside each other, with Sigurdsson where he should be in his attacking role.
…but it wasn't long before it was back to this?
Swansea's disjointed and non-functioning midfield saw the defence's shape also compromised, as the likes of Kyle Naughton had to move out of position to cover an unmarked Leicester player (below).
Llorente isolated and lack of link-up play
Fernando Llorente has also received criticism from some fans but there was absolutely no link-up play with him whatsoever. Sigurdsson, as said, didn't play one single pass to the striker, mainly because the distance between him and the Spaniard was far too big.
Above you can see how it's Sigurdsson and Cork playing deep, with Fer further forward, but this didn't work as Llorente very rarely had anyone playing off him.
Improvements following Ki's arrival
Swansea's shape and balance did begin to improve when Ki replaced Sigurdsson. Ki and Cork played as holding midfielders, with one often dropping in between the two splitting centre backs and the other slightly further forward.
This finally gave Fer the freedom to play as an attacking midfielder, it later paid off as he got us the goal to give us a very slim chance of taking a very undeserved point from the game.
You can also see below how Llorente now had a player (Fer) he could link up with, as the Swans began to play mainly in Leicester's half as they pushed for an equaliser.
The Swans still look very much like a work in progress. The midfield in particular isn't functioning well enough, and Guidolin may want to re-think using Fer as a holding midfielder. I do wonder whether Fer was simply moving forward on his own wishes and was lacking discipline, or whether it was Guidolin's instructions to do so.
Llorente also needs much better support, Sigurdsson has to be the player playing further forward off the lone striker. He's not playing anything close to his standards and he should improve as his fitness will too. You also wonder if Ki can finally find some form, Britton is also due to return and so too is new striker Borja Baston. Plenty of work to be done and the international break actually came at the perfect time for us.
