Here's A Funny Anecdote About A Young, Absurdly Athletic Boris Diaw
Filed to: boris diawFiled to: boris diaw

appic
Boris Diaw had a period in his career when he was the butt of fat jokes, but when the Spurs big man was younger, he was in ridiculously good shape.
Marc Stein wrote an excellent feature on the journey of Diaw, but here's the highlight, a story about Diaw from then-Suns front-office employee and current Cavs general manager David Griffin.
"Boris walks into the gym one day wearing flip-flops and holding his customary cappuccino, which was a staple for him every morning," Griffin recalled. "It was during pre-draft workouts, so he sees the Vertec [machine] and asks what it is.
"We tell him it measures your vertical leap by determining how many of the bars you can touch. He asks what's the highest anyone has ever gone, and we tell him Amare' [Stoudemire] cleared the entire rack.
"Boris puts down the cappuccino, takes off his flip-flops and clears the entire rack on the first try. Then he calmly puts his flip-flops back on, picks up his cappuccino and walks away, saying, 'That was not difficult.'"
Diaw might not still be able to do that, but he's one win away from a championship, so he's probably fine with his current status in life.

As we approach the cold and flu season, I see signs in the subway. The flu shot is promoted, but there are many other things promoted to avoid being ill. Push vitamin C. Drink plenty of liquids. Make sure you cover up your mouth and throat when there is a cold wind outside. Don't go out if your hair is still wet. Use those chemical hand cleansers. Start taking zinc. Let us review some aspects. This particular article An Innovative Approach to Stopping Colds and Flu points out how certain probiotics can protect the upper respiratory tract. The gut is the nucleus of the immune system with 80% of the body's lymphatic tissue found in the abdomen. This article presents the concept that certain probiotics can help stimulate the secretion of IgA in the gut. The same opening (mouth and oral cavity) leads to both the respiratory tract as well as the gastrointestinal tract. So this makes sense since IgA will offer protection from microbes that cause illnesses in the mouth, throat, and upper respiratory tract. Look at the article on root canals. What Is A Root Canal Procedure? We may be doing something wrong here. On page 80 An Innovative Approach to Stopping Colds and Flu other remedies available for upper respiratory infections and flu are shown. Also look at a prior article. The first item in the group is cimetidine. This is an older medication that helps control acid levels in the stomach. The mechanism is a little bit different than that purple pill you buy. This has been used for as many as 30 years in patients with colon cancer, boosting the function of the immune system. Garlic serves as an antiviral agent. Aged or fermented garlic is the most effective. When was the last time you saw fermented garlic in the vitamin shop? Black is good. DHEA is a vital hormone that provides adrenal support when we are under stress. Proper DHEA levels are necessary for prolonging health. As we age, much less of this is secreted so a daily supplement is recommended for many patients. If not taken regularly, a boost during onset of a cold or viral illness may be helpful. Lactoferrin is a component of mother's milk and contains substances that can stimulate the immune system to fight. Like being breast-fed for three years—and most of us never had this exposure. People talk about the effectiveness of zinc to overcome colds. The type of zinc supplement appears to be significant to achieve positive results. The zinc acetate form is absorbed in the mouth to saturate the sinuses and upper respiratory tract for its effect. This is not seen as much with the other zinc products. It is a healthful to take zinc (not acetate) on a regular basis either by diet or supplements for establishing good tissue levels that provide improved systemic response. The zinc acetate would be instituted when you feel you're coming down with a cold. Melatonin is also another hormone that stimulates the immune system. Up the dose you usually take at night if you are feeling ill. Tamiflu is a medical antiviral agent that is available and most effective to minimize symptoms if taken early in the onset of the disease. What should be done with vitamin C? Oral vitamin C can irritate the stomach when taken in high doses. Maximum single dose should be somewhere in the range of 500 to 1000 milligrams each time, but this needs to be repeated three times during the day to keep up adequate blood levels between doses. Vitamin C by intravenous infusion can achieve very high blood levels. The downside, of course, is that most of us do not have access to intravenous solutions when we are in our home. Consider liposomal encapsulation. Liposomes as Advanced Delivery Systems for Nutraceuticals This serves as a delivery agent for introduction of chemicals in our body. Liposomes are phospholipids (one end that is water-soluble and the other end soluble only in fatty tissue) that are easily absorbed into the cell. Under ultrasound they can form spheres around a central core that contains another substance. With liposomal vitamin C a smaller dose will achieve tissue levels higher than can be achieved by oral dosing. Air flights while traveling trap us in an enclosed environment. Add a tablet of Airborne in a glass of water when refreshments are passed. This contains vitamin C as well as zinc and it serves as a good product when on an airplane. Simple things can be effective. Think about hydrogen peroxide. This is a common, inexpensive chemical with tremendous capabilities fighting microbes. Personal medical use requires a food grade product of 35%—not the brown bottle of 3% from the pharmacy that contains preservatives. Placing 1 ounce in 10 ounces of distilled water in a bedside humidifier provides moisture for the upper respiratory tract and the peroxide is a natural microbe killer. In fact, white cells secrete peroxide for an antimicrobial effect during an infection. Vitamin C helps promote peroxide production, another example of how nutrients and antioxidants work together in combination. Remember that a whole food source is much better than supplements. A glass of processed or preserved orange juice is nowhere near as effective as eating a fresh orange. There are many additional substances in the orange that are chemically very similar to vitamin C. These work in synergy with the true vitamin C to give a better effect. Although the vitamin C is at a good level, supplements may be needed to replace minerals that might be depleted depending on location where the product is produced. Diet has a lot to do with our health by supporting an effective immune system. First of all, get rid of the sugar. That will definitely help colds and flu. The preservatives in processed food make the nutritional environment more complicated for our system. Trying to ingest nutrients and potential toxins from the same plate is a little bit difficult. My recommendations? Besides liposomal vitamin C, my preference is to lay information out for patients so that they understand. Then they will choose which measures they prefer. That is my relationship with patients. Chemical and hormone balance is a key to prolonging health. There are no magic bullets.


The Nuke NDK and BlinkScript make it possible to do heavy image processing tasks within Nuke.
A good example of such a task is pixel sorting – there is a cool subreddit for this effect, and Kim Asendorf (who popularized this effect with his many amazing examples) wrote a script you can download and use in Processing.
the compiled PixelSortCore node currently works on Windows and Linux, and for the next update I will also release the code so you can compile it yourself!
PixelSort will sort the pixels per channel for each horizontal row (per channel) based on their values.
To rotate the sorting, simply rotate and counter-rotate the image before and after the sorting. All kinds of distortion effects can be applied this way.
All pixel sorted images and video on this page are made entirely in Nuke using this plugin.
1. Find the right Nuke version in the 'Versions' folder, and copy the found 'PixelSort' shared library file into the 'PixelSort' folder (which is next to this readme file).
If you don't like installing plugins manually, try my automatic plugin loader for Nuke (called NukeShared)!
To install PixelSort using NukeShared, simply follow step 1 from the list above and place the 'PixelSort' folder in 'Repository/_AutoInstaller'.
More often than not, adding small-scale noise to the sort matte input alpha will greatly improve the pixel sorting result.
When doing this, don't forget to disable 'auto sort matte' and place a Keyer node instead.
The 'add' slider extends the alpha, which can be used to stylize the sorting a little by bringing back detail in the image.
The first image is the original, the second is sorted, and the third is sorted with the 'add' at '1000'.
The included gizmo has some tricks built-in, so you can easily create a properly working template and have instant results.
I will not go further in-depth on the workings of the embedded 'PixelSortCore' plugin, as using the 'PixelSort' gizmo makes everything a lot easier.
'PixelSortCore' should be invisible in the UI (so you cannot find it using the Tab menu) – this is the case when installed correctly.

Patriots waive rookie K Quinn Nordin, may re-sign him soon
FOXBORO MA – August 12: Quinn Nordin #3 of the New England Patriots kicks a 50 yard field goal during the first half of the NFL pre-season game against the Washington Football Team at Gillette Stadium on August 12, 2021 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Staff Photo By Matt Stone/MediaNews Group/Boston Herald)
By Andrew Callahan | acallahan@bostonherald.com |
The Patriots waived rookie kicker Quinn Nordin from injured reserve Wednesday.
Nordin had been designated to return off IR earlier this week. The undrafted rookie was sidelined by an abdomen injury in Week 2. He impressed during training camp, but ultimately lost the starting job to veteran Nick Folk, who is tracking for a career year.
Through a dozen games, Folk is 31-of-34, with all three misses from 50-plus yards away. His 91.2% field goal percentage would rank as the third-best of his career.
Folk has, however, been dealing with a knee injury all season. If Nordin clears waivers Thursday, the Pats can re-sign him to their practice squad. Nordin went a combined 10-of-15 on field goals and extra points in the preseason and made almost every kick over two in-stadium practices during training camp.

Beyond BookSmart offers Executive Function skills workshops for teachers and school staff. We provide both seminar and workshop in-service training based on best practices and current research in the field of Executive Function skills. Led by one of our senior level coaches, training consists of direct instruction, observation and modeling, whole group discussion, assigned readings, viewing videotapes, and collaborative investigations. Teachers learn new tools and approaches that allow them to effectively integrate new understandings of the relationship between Executive Function skills and academic success into their teaching practice. The length of our educator workshops varies from 90 minutes to 3 hours.
We also offer 60-90 minute presentations for parent groups. Parents learn about Executive Function development and the specific Executive Function skills that students need to be successful. Led by one of our senior level coaches, these interactive presentations include many tips and tools that parents can use to help their children manage their academic demands more effectively.
Rachel Kalinsky provided a wonderful training opportunity for our parents. Rachel's presentation was professional and engaging. She explained Executive Functioning in terms the audience understood. In addition, Rachel provided parents with information "nuggets" that they could implement to support their children in organizing homework, etc.. I look forward to the next time Rachel presents for our parents.
See our Events page for upcoming presentations in your area.
Everyone present benefited from your explanations of the 11 challenges of Executive Function both in the classroom and out in the community. Changing the mindset will really help with the older, more rigid kids and kids who have had a lifetime of therapies. I have attended many Executive Function seminars, and yours was the most helpful.

The Chairman of the PAC, Hon. Segepoh Solomon Thomas had issued stern warnings "that in future if officials working for Councils could not tender prudent transaction documents during audits, they will risk losing their jobs, including benefits such as NASSIT, subject to the conclusion of a stakeholders meeting, where the terms and conditions will be developed and agreed on".
Speaking on over bloated contracts, the Committee spoke largely against profiteering by contractors "colluding with officials of Councils", when deliberating on the construction of Kundi Bridge in Kono, with a value of of Le 790 Million.
The Committee has also restated that "sitting fees should not be paid to Councillors without minutes, attendance lists and valid written excuses ".
All the officials of Kono District Council have been summoned to Parliament not later than 24/08/18 in respect of the purchase of XL 125 motor bikes for Le 72 Million, four receipt books, and the provision of supporting documents for over Le 500 Million.
Hearings for Kailahun District Council were deferred because of the absence of the suspended and former Chief Administrator and Finance Officer of the said Council.
Officials of Koidu New Sembehun City Council have been summoned to appear in Parliament on the 5th September 2018 because the "former Finance Officer is dead and the former Chief Administrator is seriously ill."


Investigation of the Influence of Proximity Alert on near-work Behavior in Chinese Myopic Children.
Support This study was supported by the International S&T Cooperation Program of China (Grant No.2014DFA30940) and partially funded by Essilor International S.A.
Yuwen Wang, Zuopao Zhuo, Xianling Yang, Jinhua Bao, Yin Zhen Toh, Alice Gabriel, Aurélie Le Cain, Damien Paille, Yan Wu, Yihao Huang, Xiang Li, Hao Chen; Investigation of the Influence of Proximity Alert on near-work Behavior in Chinese Myopic Children.. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):3399.
Purpose : In a review, Huang et al (2015) found that more time spent on near work activities was associated with higher odds of myopia. ClouclipTM is a device that monitors and changes juveniles' visual behavior which relate to myopia development. The device is able to measure factors like working distance and duration of near work and outdoor activities. It reminds users through a buzz to correct their habits when they read too near (< 30 cm) or work too long at near. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of proximity alert of ClouclipTM on near-work behavior in Chinese myopic children.
Methods : A total of 24 myopic children aged 8 to 13 years (mean ± SD, 10.83 ± 1.01 years) were involved in this study. Their spherical equivalent ranged from - 0.75D to - 4.00D (-2.39 ± 0.87 D). All subjects were equipped with ClouclipTM during the study. During the two weeks of the first trial period (Step 1), the proximity alert for all subjects was disabled. During the second two weeks trial period (Step 2), the proximity alert for all subjects was enabled. Parameters such as working distance, percentage of active time spent too near, and near working alarms of two steps were then calculated for analysis. Activities between weekdays and weekends were also compared.
Results : Near-work distance measured during Step1 (32.35 ± 5.86 cm) increased significantly after activating the proximity alert during Step 2 (34.20 ± 3.54 cm, P < 0.05). Percentage of average active time spent too near for all wearers decreased from Step 1 to Step 2 for both weekdays and weekends, (Weekday: 22.85% to 19.87% and Weekend: 23.34% to 18.17% respectively). Number of near working alarms decreased from Step 1 to Step 2 for both weekdays and weekends, (Weekday: 195.55/hour to 126.34/hour and Weekend: 146.32/hour to 97.46/hour respectively).
Conclusions : The study demonstrated that enabling the proximity alert of ClouclipTM for 2 weeks has a positive influence on near working behavior in Chinese myopic children which could have a possible effect in reducing myopia progression.

She is always in the nurse's room if you need help.
"From the time I was little I always wanted to help people in need". Nurse Benjamin always wanted to be a person who helps people when she was little. When she grew up and went to college, she then got her degree in nursing. Nurse Benjamin went to a couple of schools but did not like them, so she went to another school.
That's when she went to McCall Elementary School. Nurse Benjamin really likes this school so she decided to stay at the school. The hardest thing Nurse Benjamin had to go through is school and focusing on her topic of Nursing. She started this career when she was teenager in her early days.
"I'll retire when I end this career so I can have left over money after retirement." After Nurse Benjamin retires she will travel all over the world, exploring new things and doing more activities with her life. She says her boss treats her very well by giving her respect and trust.
Nurse Benjamin decides to travel when she retires and also do new activities in her life. She will have leftover money to do the activities she wants to do. She will still come visit the school so she can remember the time she was a nurse.


It has become important for healthcare support tools to assist EHR users (clinicians, doctors) in making sound decisions while treating their patients. At present, EHR solutions exhibit few signs of growing pains (how the team of doctors and clinicians receive healthcare support services).
Alerts – Developers need to work on alerts and provide different types of alerts to physicians. There are certain jobs when be in line is fine with them; there are other works when they need a hard stop. Different alerts for distinct range of jobs can help entire healthcare department to perform their line job with efficiency.
EHR developers need to work with their smartness to varying requirements of clinicians to determine the impact of their developed electronic health record system on the workflow.
Applications– EHR developers need to understand different apps that influence clinical decision support and make it shine. One size fits for all approach is old-fashioned and development companies need to work on distinct applications for variety of functions.
Filters – normally, EHR systems comprise of several data fields, notes, and other information. To let the user (clinician) understand about clinical data, it is very necessary for developers to provide apt filters in the system with which the user can access relevant information.
It is very crucial to have insight knowledge about specific field of information that user is looking for. If the EHR user is able to navigate swiftly and efficiently to the searched information and get a giant pool data access, then the EHR solution is good for use.
When all of these things get covered in EHR development, clinicians will get apt EHR solutions for their infrastructure. Developers need to understand and implement these changes to meet all challenges and to provide unique, streamlined work environment to healthcare departments.

Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams was 7-3, with a 1.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in the second half of last season.
When Chris Archer pitched against the Pittsburgh Pirates in June 2017, he saw in Jameson Taillon a young starter who had good stuff but didn't yet possess the separator pitch that would make him a major league star.
When Archer joined the Pirates after being acquired from Tampa Bay in a trade-deadline deal late last July, Taillon was on the mound against the Chicago Cubs. By this time, Taillon had unveiled a new pitch Archer hadn't seen, adding a dimension to his repertoire.
That was a peek through the window of progress Pirates pitching coach Ray Searage witnessed with Taillon and fellow starters Trevor Williams and Joe Musgrove last season. Searage believes it takes a year to 18 months for a starting pitcher to learn his craft in the majors, and the trio turned that corner to rise to the top of the Pirates' rotation.
The biggest thing for the Pirates is they have a young pitching staff that knows how to use its stuff. Even better, they added a weapon in Archer that should make the starting rotation — still in search of a fifth starter — the strength of a team coming off an 82-win season.
A two-time All-Star who pitched on the same staff as 2018 AL Cy Young award winner Blake Snell with the Rays, Archer projects stardom for Taillon.
Taillon went about his business to a 14-10 record with a 3.20 ERA and 1.18 WHIP last season in 32 starts last season. He was dominant in the second half, when he allowed three earned runs or fewer in 22 consecutive starts.
Taillon already earned the nod to start Opening Day. Next on his checklist should be a selection to the Midsummer Classic.
"It'd be great to get the recognition," Taillon said.
Williams considers goal-setting a "tricky" proposition, one that doesn't work for him.
Where other Pirates pitchers can overpower hitters with heat, Williams relies more on the command of his changeup and slider.
So, he's not even trying to duplicate his 14-10 record with a 3.11 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. While those numbers are eerily similar to Taillon's, Williams compiled them without a high strikeout rate.
Williams was 7-3, with a 1.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in the second half, when batters slashed .216/.274/.304 against him. Asking Williams if he wants to duplicate his second half is a waste of time.
Musgrove was ecstatic when the Pirates traded for Archer, a pitcher whose mound presence he finds relatable.
The passion on the mound made Archer and Musgrove fan favorites at PNC Park, as much for their competitive fire as for their willingness to stand up for his teammates.
Where Archer struggled in August, going 1-2 with a 6.45 ERA and 1.75 WHIP as the Pirates faded from contention, he recovered with a strong September: 2-1, 2.70 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Searage noticed a difference once Archer got comfortable with catcher Francisco Cervelli and started to show more command in his fastball to set up his slider in his final three starts.
Musgrove made the transition from starter to reliever with the Astros and back to the rotation for the Pirates, so he studied Taillon and Williams while going 6-9, with a 4.06 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 19 starts last season.
But they have options, with Nick Kingham, Steven Brault or Rookie Davis likely serving a long-relief role. With the Pirates committed to lefty Francisco Liriano making the Opening Day roster, they have experience capable of making spot starts.
One reason the fifth starter is not an overwhelming concern is the strength of the bullpen. A year ago, only closer Felipe Vazquez entered the season with a defined role.
Despite a late May stretch where he blew two leads and two saves, the lefty was electric. Vazquez earned his first All-Star bid, with 89 strikeouts in 70 innings and 37 saves.
Now, the Pirates have a strong back-end of the bullpen. Vazquez has a strong setup man in Keone Kela, who had 24 saves for the Texas Rangers last season, with Kyle Crick and Richard Rodriguez serving as a bridge.
By not adding a power bat to a lineup that will start the season without Gregory Polanco, their home run leader last season, the Pirates are putting a lot of faith in pitching.
They are betting big on Taillon and Williams to build upon a strong second half, on Archer to return to All-Star form, on Musgrove to prove he can be healthy and effective and on the bullpen to be as reliable as it is nasty.
That's a lot to ask, but not too much to ask of Pirates pitchers.
Clearly, what the Pirates pitchers lack in experience they make up for with confidence. There is widespread belief on the staff that the starting rotation could be the strongest in the NL Central and the bullpen one of the best in baseball.
Archer offers a reminder that the Pirates only have to pitch to their capabilities, that he has been on both strong pitching staffs and others where it was a coin flip whether they could win.
"Every night, we have a chance to win based off who's on the mound," Archer said. "Five nights a week, we're going to have somebody who is capable of winning the game or at least gives a chance to win.
The Pirates pitching staff added weapons. Now they have to prove they are legit.

Il colpo di reni è una tecnica utilizzata dai ciclisti durante gli arrivi in volata.

Consiste nel sollevare i glutei dalla sella (se il corridore non è già in piedi sui pedali), piegare la schiena in avanti e spingere con le braccia e con le gambe la bicicletta il più avanti possibile rispetto al corpo sfruttando anche il principio di azione e reazione, il tutto in un movimento secco da eseguire il più rapidamente possibile. Poiché l'ordine di arrivo viene stabilito in base al momento in cui la ruota anteriore tocca la linea del traguardo, eseguendo questo movimento mentre si valica la linea si possono guadagnare alcune decine di centimetri, che a volte risultano decisivi per superare gli avversari.

Il nome "colpo di reni" è dovuto al fatto che lo sforzo maggiore nell'esecuzione di questo movimento è sostenuto dai muscoli della parte bassa della schiena (le reni nel linguaggio popolare).

Per sfruttare a proprio vantaggio il colpo di reni è fondamentale il giusto tempismo: esso infatti costringe il corridore ad interrompere l'azione di spinta sui pedali (con le biciclette da strada, dotate di ruota libera, si interrompe del tutto la pedalata, mentre con le bici da pista a scatto fisso occorre continuare comunque a pedalare) e quindi provoca un rallentamento, per cui va eseguito esattamente all'ultimo momento utile, altrimenti i centimetri guadagnati con l'avanzamento della bicicletta vengono annullati da quelli persi con la diminuzione della velocità.

Analizzando questa tecnica dal punto di vista della fisica, si può osservare che il centro di massa del sistema ciclista-bicicletta rimane inalterato dal colpo di reni, ma il busto e la testa del ciclista si spostano all'indietro mentre la bicicletta si sposta in avanti. Poiché però la massa del ciclista è molto più grande di quella della bicicletta, lo spostamento di quest'ultima è molto maggiore.

L'espressione "colpo di reni" viene utilizzata anche in senso figurato per indicare uno sforzo breve e intenso o un guizzo improvviso con cui si supera un ostacolo o si raggiunge all'ultimo momento un obiettivo che sembrava ormai sfuggito.

Luton Town vs Norwich City Prediction | EFL Cup | 09/05
The match review to the football Luton Town vs Norwich City prediction in EFL Cup about the competing teams' current performances and their current matches, the detailed stats of the qualities, upcoming match H2H matches, goal stats, table standings ranking, and possible match results. The Luton Town vs Norwich City prediction should all be considered to put down an effective wager on this match.
MATCH INFORMATION:
LUTON TOWN VS NORWICH CITY PREDICTION: TEAM COMPARISON
LUTON TOWN VS NORWICH CITY PREDICTION TIPS:
Match date: 2:00 pm on Saturday 5th September 2020
Event: EFL Cup
Stage: 1st Round
Location: Kenilworth Road
Luton Town has just had a disappointing season in the Championship when they only got 51 points after 46 matches, in which their total wins and draws are equal to the total number of defeats, namely wins 14, draw 9 and lose 23. If at the end of the season they do not have great efforts to be unbeaten in the last 5 matches with 3 wins and 2 draws, they will definitely have to receive a drop to play in League One this season when only 3 points higher than the relegated group.
Not long ago, the home team of Kenilworth Road had a run for the new season with two friendly matches with two lower-tier teams, as a result, they did not face too many difficulties when they both won with the same score 3-0.
Norwich City has been sent off to play in the Championship this season when in the Premier League last season they only got 21 points after 5 wins, 6 draws and 27 losses, even worse than they were empty-handed. In all the last 10 rounds of the season, which scored only 1 goal in the defeat against Watford with a score of 1-2 on away field.
However, surely the team will be very determined to have a good record in the next season when they are very hard to play in the friendly matches before the tournament and as a result, they were unbeaten teams in the German 2nd Division, including a very strong rival, SV Darmstadt 98 with 1 win and 1 draw.
Anyway, Norwich City is also a team that has just competed in the highest tournament in the land of fog, so their level is also appreciated compared to a team that has struggled in the relegation race at the last Championship season. In addition, Norwich City played many times very well in non-Premier League tournaments, which made Manchester United difficult in the last FA Cup quarter-finals. Therefore, Norwich City's ability to win is very possible.
Luton Town vs Norwich City prediction: Norwich City -1/4
This is the start of the new season, so it is likely that the two teams will enter comfortably, in addition, their attack has been effective in recent friendly matches so a match with an attacking stance. Labor is very easy to happen. In addition, the two most recent encounters of the two teams were matches with a fall, in which Norwich City scored 3 or more goals. So, choosing Over is a smart decision.
Select: Over 2.3/4
Luton Town vs Norwich City prediction:
Luton Town vs Norwich City: 1 – 3 (0 – 2)
EUROPEAN BET
In the last 2 encounters, Luton Town lost heavily to this opponent, the closest one was a 1-5 defeat at home. In addition, their defeat of a current League Two team, Northampton Town, is certainly not appreciated by Norwich City having 1 win and 1 draw against a top team at Germany's second division is SV Darmstadt 98 in recent friendly matches. So, the above bet will be a wise choice.
Select: Norwich City FT
Luton Town: Simon Sluga, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Sonny Bradley, James Bree, Martin Cranie, Glen Rea, Luke Berry, Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Harry Cornick, Elliot Lee, James Collins
Norwich City: Tim Krul, Christoph Zimmermann, Ben Godfrey, Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis, Lukas Rupp, Todd Cantwell, Kenny McLean, Onel Hernández, Marco Stiepermann, Teemu Pukki

Every leader needs a Devil's Advocate
Accepting difficult truths or a contrarian point of view transforms the quality of decision-making
As the corona virus continues to disrupt communities, companies and countries across the world, a daily challenge leaders face is making decisions rapidly, often with limited information and with a limited view around the corner of all possible consequences. Most of these crisis-time decisions cast long shadows, often on people that the leader may never even have considered.
Our Prime Minister may have modified the way the lockdown was rolled out, had he foreseen the horrendous impact it has had on the country's poor and daily-wagers, especially migrant labour. Donald Trump may inwardly be ruing the fact that he didn't act earlier, in spite of warnings. Bosses at companies may be regretting letting go of some high-cost employees only to watch a client project fall apart. One of the mechanisms that the Catholic Church used when it had to make a critical decision on recommending someone for sainthood — a process called canonisation — was in the person of the Devil's advocate.
During this long and detailed process, evidence is collected, witnesses examined, documents perused — all to support the cause of the person's sainthood. But the Church also appointed a canon lawyer to argue against the canonisation. This role of Promoter of the Faith came to be referred to as the Devil's advocate — in Latin advocatus diabolic. He opposed the God's advocate, also called Promoter of the Cause — he poked holes in the evidence, took a sceptical view of every anecdote, argued that miracles attributed to the prospective saint were fraudulent.
As a decision-making mechanism it was brilliant. It didn't always end with a perfect outcome but it ensured that another point of view was heard, often an opposite point of view, before a decision was made. In a time of crisis, leaders need some form of rapid-fire Devil's advocate inputs.
We need wise decisions, not an echo chamber
In a crisis situation, the team tends to more quickly follow what the leader thinks and says. The need for speed seems to overwhelm the need for the right and wise decision. Some leaders play up this need "Damn it, just do what you're told. This is no time for debate." There are times, when the leader has a powerful personality and a cult-like following, and teams blindly follow his direction even when they have doubts; at such times, the need for a Devil's Advocate formally playing the role, is even higher.
The Devil's advocate prevents the room from becoming an echo chamber. The Devil's advocate challenges the team to look at the situation from another point of view, forces the team to do a quick déjà vu travel – look at past similar situations and how they unfolded, consider changed circumstances, account for forgotten stakeholders, do some time travel ahead to look at the possible consequences of the decision, especially negative ones.
The purpose is not to force the team into an analysis-paralysis or to delay decision-making. The need for speed remains, but the Devil's advocate does not allow that to become an excuse for poor and incompetent decision making. He forces everyone to see the 'nightmare' scenario. He says what others may think but be afraid of saying. His role confers on him the right, the authority and yes, the responsibility to do so. In fact, this is why it is best that a Devil's advocate process is part of regular 'critical-decision' making so that it flows naturally and smoothly even in a crisis.
Who's the right person for this role?
In leadership teams it will help to look to persons of courage and conviction, those unafraid to speak their mind, unafraid to speak truth to power. The person needs to be someone with a record of impartiality, someone who holds the organisations and the team's interest above his private agendas. Someone with the credibility of performance, whose words will carry weight. Someone without an unfair stake in the outcome.
Consider former US Vice-President Dick Cheney and the role he played as Advisor to George Bush. As a former CEO of Halliburton, an oil-services company that stood to benefit immensely from the military and construction support it provided in Iraq, every bit of advice he provided could have possibly been coloured by the profits his former employer stood to make. It was in his best interest not only for the war to continue but to actually get worse. Obviously, he would be a terrible choice of Devil's advocate — at best he would be biased, at worst he would be blatantly corrupt.
Sometimes a leader may not have the benefit of someone on the team with the credibility and competence to play this role. She then has to mentally play that role herself — arguing for a course of action, but then stepping back and arguing for the opposite or a different course of action, looking for blind spots, another angle, a different way of looking at available information, anything that will help her improve the quality and effectiveness of the decision she must finally and often quickly take.
How can the 'disagree and commit' concept works
The leader needs to support this role and back the process to the hilt. The leader needs to be mentally prepared to abandon a previous planned course of action and embrace a new one. The leader must be prepared to be disagreed with.
Jeff Bezos, in his 2017 letter to shareholders, used this phrase and example – 'disagree and commit.'
"I disagree and commit all the time. We recently greenlit a particular Amazon Studios original. I told the team my view: debatable whether it would be interesting enough, complicated to produce, the business terms aren't that good, and we have lots of other opportunities. They had a completely different opinion and wanted to go ahead. I wrote back right away with "I disagree and commit, and hope it becomes the most watched thing we've ever made." That's the courage of real leadership. He continues: "Note what this example is not: it's not me thinking to myself "well, these guys are wrong and missing the point, but this isn't worth me chasing." It's a genuine disagreement of opinion, a candid expression of my view, a chance for the team to weigh my view, and a quick, sincere commitment to go their way." (underlining added)
This is what a leader needs through every decision-making process but especially in a crisis. If she is secure in her leadership then she does not feel the need to be always right, or the pressure to come off as the smartest person in the room. She asks for pushback and openly listens to it when it comes. She is ready to hear the Devil's advocate, so that when she does make her decision, she is more assured that it will play out right rather than wrong.

Cardi B to surrender to NYPD to face charges for strip club fight
Posted: 9:46 AM, Oct 01, 2018
By: Susan Gonzalez
Theo Wargo

Cardi B attends the Billboard 2018 R&B Hip-Hop Power Players event at Legacy Records on September 27, 2018 in New York City.

Cardi B is expected to surrender to the New York Police Department on Monday morning to face charges in relation to a fight that happened in a strip club in Queens in New York City, reports say.
According to WPVI-TV , the 25-year-old rapper is facing misdemeanor charges in connection to a fight she had with two bartenders at Angels Strip Club in Queens on August 29.
She will not be arrested but will be given a summons to appear in court at a later date, TMZ reports .
This is not the first time the singer has been in the news for altercations. Less than a month ago, Cardi B was in the news for getting in a fight with Nicki Minaj at a New York Fashion Week party.


9 things young job seekers say that wanna make me scream!
Recently, I've been talking to more and more college students and recent graduates looking for jobs in advertising, marketing, media and communications. When I give job search advice, they look at me like I've got three eyes. Ugh.
Somebody is giving creative students awful job seeking advice. It's likely somebody who's never actually hired a young creative.
The stuff I hear from creative students drives me insane.
It makes me so mad that I want to join a university and develop programs that spit out highly employable, skill-rich graduates ready to dominate — instead of deer-in-headlight creatives unprepared and $120,000 poorer.
If you're a creative employer, please join me in trying to rid these 9 things that young creative job seekers say.
Keep in mind that these thoughts are only for 20-something job seekers looking for creative careers. It's different for people beginning careers in industries like finance and engineering, which have much more established career tracks.
If a creative job has been posted online, you're too late.
Job postings on creative roles from companies you've heard of receive anywhere from 300-500 applicants on average. If you're just randomly sending your resume into an online job posting, you're screwed. Stop it.
If you think sales is just for Michael Scott types, you're wrong.
If you can't sell, you're limiting your creative career. Go sell something.
Some of the best experience you can get as a young person is software sales. Look at growing software startups like Passport, MapAnything and AvidXchange.
Creative companies are ALWAYS hiring smart people that can solve problems.
Hiring you just isn't that expensive. You likely cost between $30k-$50k. That's just not material to most employers IF they've got a shot at landing their next superstar employee.
If a company has under 200 employees, go directly to the owner/CEO and tell them how you're going to solve their problems and grow their business. "But that's hard to do," you say. Exactly.
Don't put them through this torture. Don't take, give. Add value by pitching solutions to the CEO's problems.
And I'm looking to only fly private.
Whether you like it or not, without a track record, many top tier employers will test you with project work. Always get paid (don't do unpaid stuff), but take it seriously — creative leaders are always watching everything.
Oh cool, you have your 3.5 GPA, college involvement and industry-specific internship showcased on your resume. Guess what? So does EVERYBODY.
The best way to get hired is to have a reputation, not a resume. And the best way to develop a reputation as a young person is to go launch stuff.
There's just no excuse for creatives who haven't brought an idea to market. Go launch an Instagram handle dedicated to local fashion and grow it to 10,000 followers. Go run an ad campaign for your favorite pizza joint that drove 50 customers on a Monday night. Go shoot 15-second Facebook food videos that never get under 5,000 views on Facebook. Go sell social media services to 5 small businesses.
But let me guess, you put "Proficient in Microsoft Office" on the bottom of your resume?
Keep in mind, you're a subject matter experience on how communication works in the 18-25 demo. Act like one. It's valuable.
Deleting emails is easy. It's really not annoying. Management at creative companies and high-growth startups probably delete 200 emails each day from somebody pitching something.
"I'm not interested in this candidate because they send too many good ideas and they're too ambitious," said no employer, ever.
Your pitch is that you want an employer to pay you so that you can learn from them? I give up.

Much of the attention to Hillary Clinton's dishonesty the past couple years has focused on her mishandling of classified information in her emails. But it's worth remembering that she can be breathtakingly dishonest about policy matters, too. The other day, I looked at the absurdity of her claim that as president she won't "add one penny to the federal debt," but there are plenty of other examples, too.
Take an interview she did a while ago in which she appears to invent a study about business executives' decision-making — and then claims to have had a highly unlikely conversation with one of said executives about it.
There was a recent survey with the heads of major American corporations, and they were asked this question: If you could make an investment today, that you know would make the company more profitable . . . and you knew that within five to ten years you'd have so much good returns to show, but it would cost you a penny off your stock price to do it, would you do it? And every one of them said no.
In trying to explain the problem of "quarterly capitalism" — executives making short-term decisions against their companies' long-term interests — Hillary seems to have invented this whole story or, at least, grossly exaggerated the facts.
Does this sound like a remotely plausible story at all — a survey in which executives unanimously say they won't do something because it'll cost "a penny" off their stock price? Or does it sound more like an extreme caricature presented as actual social science?
She says later in the video she cited the same study during a 2015 economic speech, which includes a survey that's similar but has different details and, in fact, has a finding that contradicts Hillary's claims in the interview.
That finding bears only a passing resemblance to what she said in the interview, and while we're at it, even the speech's characterization is not a correct description of the actual survey question, which was whether companies might "delay starting a new project" in order to hit an earnings target. I'm not saying Hillary had to get the exact details right on the fly, but she massively exaggerates the drama of the study and offers no indication her facts might be hazy.
The study, in fact, happened to ask a question that is closer to the one she cited in the interview: Would you put off a definitely profitable investment if the investment would cause you to miss your earnings target? (Which would deal a heck of a lot more damage than "a penny off your stock price.") To that question, most executives said yes, they'd do it, even if it means a substantial earnings miss. It's interesting that a bunch of them did say no, they'd put off a surefire profitable investment, but Hillary said all of them would, when only a minority said so.
It gets even weirder when she says she knew someone who took this survey. It's sort of plausible if you think the survey is of CEOs of major U.S. corporations and Hillary guesses, say, Warren Buffett took it, but it's actually of CFOs, and a survey of thousands of them from 2003. How would Hillary have called one of them knowing he had been surveyed? I've asked her campaign about this and the other details and never heard back.
Hillary might have a point about quarterly capitalism — the study she cites argues that the earnings obsession seems to destroy real economic value by causing corporations to put off various investments in order to maximize earnings.
But the study actually suggests this is a surprising finding (i.e., not one we have a broad base of evidence for), and then Hillary pulls results out of thin air to make her case even more shocking. The real study may have discovered a real problem, but it bears little resemblance to the cartoonish, irrational decisions Hillary claims executives make.

Australian Gateway to the final frontier
With the mining boom having peaked and car manufacturing heading offshore, Australia should look to the stars – and one Gold Coast company is leading the way.
"We're in the middle of a worldwide space renaissance, and Australia – Queensland in particular – is primed to take flight," says Adam Gilmour, CEO of Gilmour Space Technologies.
Despite a background in finance, Gilmour had always heard the stars call to him. "A 20-year banking career allowed me to look at what was happening in the space industry in a different way," he says. "Supply and demand is no different there, so I started looking into what was possible."
There are 40-60 companies attempting to launch up to 8,000 small satellites into orbit in the next five years. "By 2022, these satellites will provide super-fast internet speeds beyond anything possible through fibre-optic cables or copper, anywhere on the planet. You won't need cell towers," he says. "They're a true game-changer, and we wanted to be a part of that change." These small satellites need rockets to get them into space, and that's where Gilmour saw an opportunity. "There were just not enough rockets available for all the satellites that needed to be launched."
After years of research, Gilmour founded Gilmour Space Technologies with his brother James in 2012 with a focus on satellites and rockets. Twenty-five full-time employees design and fabricate a range of space propulsion systems at their Gold Coast headquarters. "Our big difference was that we started with lots of money," Adam says. "It meant we were able to operate for three years without the need for investors."
The fruit of their labour was the hybrid rocket, so named because it uses a mix of solid and liquid fuels. "It was the only real way to get a true, low-cost launch vehicle onto the market," Adam says. Gilmour Space Technologies launched their first rocket in 2016. After a design change that resulted in a 20-fold thruster increase, they're ready to launch again later this year. The launch of a satellite into orbit is expected to follow in 2020.
"For a long time, space activities were dominated by governments and multinationals," James says. "But now, entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have invested in space, and that's bearing fruit. There's no reason why that can't happen in Australia."
Queensland is naturally well-positioned as a launch site. Its close proximity to the equator means it takes better advantage of the planet's rotational velocity, meaning a rocket will require less fuel to escape Earth's orbit.
The Australian start-up's success has led to global attention. In February, the Gilmours signed a deal with NASA to work on a rover that will harvest water from the surface of Mars. They've also managed to attract the 18th Australian Space Research Conference to the Gold Coast, where it will be held on September 24-26. "Delegates who come for the conference will be able to see what's on offer here on the Gold Coast, and local universities can get involved as well," James says. "Space will always be inspiring to the next generation." Adam hopes Gilmour Space Technologies serves as an example of an Australian company making a splash in space. "We've had no government funding.
We'd like to see the government getting more involved in the space industry," he says. "There's a boom in space to serve customers on Earth, and we can be a part of it." This feature has been produced in collaboration with the City of Gold Coast.

I'm so glad I finally got around to switching out my seasonal clothes last week because it was only 32 degrees this morning when I walked the dog and will be a balmy 37-40 all day today. Brrrr!
Although I have more overall storage in the new house, I have less bedroom/clothes closet space than I used to. So I've been storing out-of-season items so I can better utilize the space I do have.
Do all your current laundry. Laugh if you want, but this simple first step will save you the later annoyance for having to drag out the ladder/schlep more items to the basement/etc. to add more items to your already tucked away storage boxes.
Have medium, airtight, plastic storage containers on hand. I like clear ones so you can actually see what's inside. Don't go too big – clothes and shoes can get heavy. Or, if your only storage option is under the bed, or you are worried about moisture, invest in vacuum-seal storage bags that air-seal. If you are swapping out stuff already in storage, dump it all out next to your dryer and use those same containers. You'll want to spin all your storage stuff in a quick "refresh" cycle before you put it back in your closet anyway – but you do that last.
Clear off a large space (the entire bed, or all your floor space) as your "decision drop depot" and set out a couple of empty containers that you can quickly toss stuff into.
Bag up all of your give away and throw away items and get them out of the way. Less stuff to think about. Yay!
Now take everything from the store pile and set it all out by category first, before you pack them. I pile up all of my shirts, jackets, pants, pjs, work-out clothes, and shoes separately, and then pack like items together.
Now you have lots of room to put away all those "refreshed" clothes in your closet for this season! (Or shop to fill in the gaps – LOL!).

You can remotely configure, monitor and troubleshoot all devices from one management console – these devices can be from any number of manufacturers, and there's no messing about with different systems for device setup, IT policies, anti-virus, data backup, OS updates/patches etc.
Chrome is designed to run on affordable hardware, such as the new ASUS Chromebit, making it economically viable for a scalable range of opportunities from corner shops to multiple locations in large chains. Chrome devices allow businesses to invest more in assets and less on managing them.
Chrome devices are designed for long uptimes with simple architecture and no moving parts, the AOPEN products in particular have been robustly engineered for long endurance and are designed to remain fully functional 24x7x365. How many customer displays have you seen ruined by Windows crashes and BSoD requiring a manual reboot ?
Chrome devices encrypt your data and receive automatic security updates. Chrome does not need separate anti-virus software and another layer of management to run it. Cloud-based data and tools minimize security issues, e.g. when a device goes AWOL, sensitive business data is protected with multi-layered security - continuous updates, virus protection, sandboxing, encryption, verified boot.
There are plenty of hardware products, apps and peripherals from a number of manufacturers to choose from to suit individual signage needs. Some good background information is here https://www.google.co.uk/work/chrome/devices/for-signage/ but please contact your Tech Data account manager or the google@techdata.co.uk team for further details and help in choosing the most suitable machines for you and your customers.

More than 70 percent of family-owned businesses do not survive the transition from founder to second generation. Rather, they fall prey to either the estate tax or family discord. Developing and implementing a well-designed plan is essential to the long-term success of the business you've grown and developed from the very beginning.
Succession planning also applies irrespective of whether you have family members looking to take over the business. One day you are going to need to exit the business, through retirement or sale. Succession planning covers the key steps to prepare the business for that moment.
In the event of selling the business to an outside purchase, Hogenson & Company LLP can manage that process for and with you, as that can be an arduous undertaking.
It's important to keep this concept in mind: Ultimately, for your business to truly be a realizable asset for you, you need to constantly be working on it with a view to selling it sometime in the future. Whether you do sell it or not is irrelevant. Keeping that frame of mind means that at least you will always be in a position TO sell it and realize its true value, if you should ever want or need to.
