Hugo Lloris has claimed Spurs are "ready to suffer" as they bid to progress past Man City to reach the final four of the Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino's team go into the game at the Etihad Stadium leading 1-0 thanks to Son Heung-min's late goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Tuesday.
The fact Man City didn't manage to score an away goal in north London could also prove crucial come Wednesday evening, especially as a goal for Spurs means the hosts would need to net three times to qualify.
Put under intense pressure in the previous round in Dortmund having taken a three-goal lead to Germany, the same may well happen once again as City look for a way back into the tie.
Asked by football.london if the experience of keeping Borussia Dortmund goalless at Signal Iduna Park can help the team ahead of tomorrow, Lloris has claimed that three things can help Spurs clinch a spot in the last four.
"From a game to another one, the football can change very quickly," he said. "It's all about the mentality, it's all about spirit and to have the same idea of football together.
"Then of course we are ready to suffer because tomorrow we are going to suffer, but we know we can make the game difficult too.
"It's just about enjoying being at this stage of the competition and be ready to compete.
"The momentum is very important in big games like this one and we will see."
Lloris' penalty save in the first leg proved to be a turning point in the game as Spurs managed to clinch an important win courtesy of Son's low strike.
While some teams would go to the Etihad and have everyone behind the ball with a semi-final spot at stake, the World Cup winner has explained that his team won't do that.
"It is important to come here with ambition, to stick with our basics and if we come here with the mentality to score goals it will make it harder for Man City," he added.
"We know we will have to suffer.
"We know in Champions League, it is always important not to concede a goal at home. It can help you for the return game.
"But we are going to face one of the best teams in Europe, they can make the difference at any moment and score a lot of goals.
"One-nil was a good result, but we need to forget it.
"We are going to have to use our brains as well but it doesn't mean we are not going to have run.
"We have to finish the game with the feeling we have given everything."

You get what you pay for, a room with a working bathroom.
Nothing snazzy but you're not paying for that. Hotel could do with an uplift but you don't stay at hotels 100% of the time of your stay so it doesn't matter so much, keeps the prices low for the great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Great bar/restaurant with good food and wonderful service. Would stay again.
This was an expensive night in what was a very ordinary - no frills - hotel.
The hotel itself was very shabby and worn down, although it was clean. There was absolutely no attempt made to make us feel welcome - it was a bed, a tiny shower, 2 teabags and nothing else!
Room was ok, but no bedside tables, had to use chair and location very noisy.
The staff could have been a bit friendlier and the security guard when we came in at night was a little hostile other than than I had a good stay.
Good value for money, comfortable and bed walking distance to St Pancras.
Very glad to find somewhere so affordable in this area of London.
Clean, quiet and friendly staff made the stay relaxing.
Great location, room was fine - carpet a little worn and grubby but the bed was great.
Hotel could not be faulted, Ideally placed near Kings Cross Train and underground stations.
Room was clean and comfortable. My one problem was our key card timed out locking us out of our room, despite us paying extra for a late check out.
Nice and clean, everything you need for a one night stay really close to st pancreas station so very convient.
Staying at the travelodge was ok, it served its purpose however I did not like that fact that there was no telephone in the rooms so the only way to get hold of reception was to go downstairs.
this was a little frustrating.
Easy walk to kings cross and some good restaurants around it so don't have to eat hotel food.

Whole groups of Afghan children are systematically excluded from education. One of the keys to changing this lies in how we educate teachers. This NAC innovation project equips teacher educators from around the country with expert knowledge on inclusive education.
Almost half of all school-aged children in Afghanistan are either not enrolled in school or they don't attend school every day. Whole groups of Afghan children are systematically excluded from education. Increasing the reach of education and the number of schools and teachers, is not enough; minds, attitudes and methods must be changed.
The Afghan Ministry for Education has been working to make the education system more inclusive since 2008. In 2014, NAC initiated an innovative project, based on a trilateral cooperation between Afghanistan, Indonesia and Norway. In short: Afghan teacher educators and activists will do a joint masters degree at the Indonesian University of Education and Kabul Education University. Norwegian and international experts will assist the universities develop new curricula and teaching materials.
The programme is sponsored by the Norwegian Government, through the Royal Embassy in Jakarta, and planned and implemented by NAC.
In 2014, NAC selected 12 candidates for the master's degree programme and 7 additional candidates for graduate courses in inclusive education. One key criteria for the selection was that they must be in a position to introduce new and innovative ideas in the institution they represent.
Seven of the candidates are heads or lecturers at teacher training centres in Badakhshan, Balkh, Faryab, Jaghori (Ghazni province) and Kabul. Two are lecturers at the Kabul Education University. Half of the group are women. One of the candidates has a disability herself and is using Braille as a medium for reading and writing, one is a young mother who brought her toddler with her to Indonesia, and one was pregnant, so the programme is not only promoting but also practicing inclusion.
Before leaving for Indonesia, the candidates completed a pre-semester course in Kabul, covering an introduction to inclusive education, rights-based approaches to education, participatory research approaches and English lessons. The first semester started in Bandung, Indonesia in January 2015, followed by a second and third semester in Kabul. For their theses, the candidates will do research in their home provinces. The candidates are scheduled to graduate in 2016.
Almost half of all Afghan children of school age are either not enrolled in school or they don't attend school every day. Whole groups of children are excluded from education.
- Children with disabilities are often not welcome in schools or the teaching cannot accommodate their needs.
- Children in remote areas live to far from the nearest school.
- Children from low-income backgrounds often have to work or do chores to help support the family.
- Children who are internally displaced have little access to education.
- Children whose parents didn't get an education struggle to convince their parents to let them attend school.
- In some areas, Afghan girls are not allowed to attend school. In other places, their schooling is cut short when they become teenagers.
- Add to this exclusion based on ethnicity and language, gender, religion, and other social factors.

Can Chicago Provide Another Big Payout as Home Underdogs?
It's going to be an interesting night of hockey Wednesday from the United Center.
The Blackhawks are still down overall (13th in Western Conference) but at the very least they've shown signs of life lately. Chicago is 6-3-1 in their last 10 which includes a 5-3 win in Pittsburgh and two hard fought one goal losses to top tier teams Calgary and the Islanders. Another elite squad comes to the United Center for the January 9th NHL free pick as Nashville visits as -190 favorites. The Preds have had some trouble in the Windy City – time for the Hawks to strike?
Can Pekka Rinne get back on track vs. an old familiar foe?
Nashville is in by no means a panic situation despite the fact that they've fell to 5th place in the West. The Predators seem to have bounced back from a six game losing streak as they've put together wins in 4 of the last 5. The Predators have found their offense along the way putting up 21 goals in the five games. PK Subban, Mattias Ekholm, and Calle Jarnkrok are all riding three game point streaks. All that being said, there are some reasons to be skeptical about Nashville in the January 9th NHL free pick.
One of the biggest disadvantages Nashville faces ahead Wednesday is that they're playing their 5th road game since New Year's Eve. The Predators have already slipped up on the road in their latest run, dropping a 3-4 OT decision to Detroit as -174 favorites. Nashville is also 4-11 their last 15 in Chicago. G Pekka Rinne will try to improve on that trend although he is 2-5-1 over his last 8.
Chicago Has the Offense to Get To Nashville?
Kane has a great chance at lighting the lamp tonight vs. Rinne.
Pekka Rinne has gone 1-1 vs. the Blackhawks this season, losing 1-2 in Chicago on 12/18 and winning 5-2 back home on 12/1. Chicago has seemingly found their offense lately with 3+ goals in 5 of 7. The Blackhawks are just 3-8 in their last 11 home games but they have a chance in the January 9th NHL free pick if Patrick Kane can stay hot with 12 points the last six games (7 goals). Jonathan Toews also has 8 points in 8 games and Alex Debrincat has goals in 6 of 10. That's a potent offense for an iffy goaltender.
Chicago should have a fresh defense ahead of G Collin Delia as they've had a night off and played their last game at home. Nashville on the other hand has been to Detroit, Montreal, Toronto, and now Chicago as they play their 4th road game in 6 nights. The Predators are just 3-11 in their last 14 road games which gives Delia a solid chance to break his two game winless streak (0-1-1). It's not like the young goaltender is playing bad however, stopping 84 shots total the last two games.
There's just not much value on Nashville with the -190 line and the way they've played at the United Center coupled with the recent travel schedule. Chicago plays well in front of Delia and their offense should be able to net a couple vs. Rinne.

About Ethiopia
Welcome To Ethiopia (Abyssinia)
Ethiopia is a nation which, having had a civilization of its own dating from ancient and Biblical times has been able to preserve its culture, develop its traditional institutions, and safeguard its independence and individuality down to the present day.
Ethiopia is a nation which was born on the highlands of East Africa several thousands of years ago by the fusion of the indigenous population with immigrant Semites. The reconstruction of the ancient history of Ethiopia is an especially difficult and tiring task since written documents are few and archeological
research here is only in its youth.
Ethiopia's contribution to the study of human evolution is very significant. The oldest hominid species is known as Australopithecus Afarensis, so called because some of the most important remains of the species have been found in Afar, Ethiopia. The most famous of these findings is that of the Lucy) or Denqenesh, as we Ethiopian prefer to call it) dated back to be 3.18 million years old found in Hadar in the Afar region in 1974.
Ethiopia contributes to five major drainage systems and these systems are; the Nile River System, the Awash Valley, the Gibe/Omo–Gojeb River System, the Genale/Juba–Shebele River System and, finally the Ethiopian Rift Valley Lakes System each of them has had a profound impact on the life and history of the Ethiopian people and the horn.
Today, Ethiopia though still faithful to its rich traditions, is adopting itself to fulfill its duties as a modern nation.
Domestication of Plants & Animals In Ethiopia
The beginning of domestication of plants and animals is generally placed at about 10,000 years before present. The process of domestication took place independently in various parts of the world. It appears that it was around 4000 – 6000 years ago that the domestication of plants and animals began took place on a large scale in north Ethiopia. The plants of the grass type which were domesticated here were tef (Erogrostis tef) and dagusa (Eleusine coracana). Other plants which originated in north Ethiopia and the horn were the oil seed nug (Guizotia abyssinica) and the ensat (Ensete venticosum). There is evidence for the domestication of cattle about the same time around Lake Basaqa, near Matahara.
History of Ethiopia
The history that connects Ethiopia to its past is based on two major sources. They are primary sources and secondary sources. The primary sources may include documents written at the time as well as material remains such as ruins of buildings, monuments, tools, ornaments, pottery, coins and other relics. When it comes to the secondary sources, they mainly include oral information and other historical reconstructions. As far as the Ethiopian history is concerned, historians use a combination of both sources mentioned above as input.
The Historiography Of Ethiopia
In the early twentieth century, a number of Ethiopian scholars started writing on various aspects of Ethiopia's past. The 1960s may be considered as the most important decade in the evolution of Ethiopian historiography.

Christianity (70%) and Islam (17%) are widely practiced in most communities of Ethiopia where as Judaism and traditional religions in some. Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia in the 4th century AD during the reign of King Ezana of the Axumite period, and Islam in the year 615, after Prophet Mohammad sent some of his followers and members of his family to Ethiopia to escape from their persecutors.
Size of Ethiopia
The total size of Ethiopia is about 1,127,750km² and this ranks 25th in the world and 8th in Africa.
Ancient, Medieval other States of Ethiopia
States in Ethiopia were established mainly through the growth and expansion of agriculture and the class differentiation that it gave rise to. The most important states that appeared in Ethiopia in the past were the Pre-Axumite State, the Axumite State, the Zagwe Dynasty, the Medieval States and the Gonderine Kingdom and Zamana Masafint; each played its own role for the history of the wide-ranging interactions of the various peoples of the whole region of Ethiopia.
The founding of Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa, the present capital of Ethiopia was born in November 1886. Its main attraction was the hot springs, Fel Weha which Emperor Menilek and his followers appreciated. But, Addis Ababa began to serve as a capital only around 1892.
Bio-diversity of Ethiopia
There are about 10,000 species of natural vegetation in Ethiopia of which 1,000 plant species are endemic which makes Ethiopia one of the top four countries with greatest bio-diversity on our home planet.

Essay Service Examples Literature The Story of An Hour
The Story Of An Hour By Kate Chopin: Overcoming Dependency On Men
Topics: Gender EqualityThe Story of An HourWomen's Rights
The progressive era was a time when Americans were in the process of rebuilding the country and improving the lives of individuals. During this time, women truly found their voice. They became leaders in social and political movements and advocated for equality. As a female activist, Kate Chopin shared her stories targeting repressed, married women with a message of liberation in a male-dominated society. Kate Chopin was a charismatic leader who used portrayal, tone, and symbolism to convince her female audience.
Kate Chopin does an outstanding job portraying women as feeble as perceived by men during this period. At the beginning of the story, Mrs. Mallard learns about the death of her husband and "wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment" ( Chopin, 3). This was not a cry from the loss of her husband but the realization of the freedom she will have. She goes into detail about how women have to live for others and have restricted freedom within their marriages. The text states, "…she was striving to beat it back with her will–as powerless as her two white hands would have been." ( Chopin, 5). Chopin explains how women felt powerless in their marriages and tied down.
Using tone, the author illustrated how emotions played a role in defining how women responded. Later on in the story, Mrs. Mallard realizes that with confidence and motivation she could have the life she always dreamt of having. Chopin writes, "When the storm of grief had spent itself, she went away to her room alone." (Chopin, 3). This tone shift is where Chopin redirects the character to be more independent and confident. These show how she used human emotions to convey her message.
Kate Chopin uses symbolism in her short story to convey her message to women. While sitting on her "comfortable, roomy armchair" (Chopin, 11) Mrs. Mallard stares up at the sky. The story states, "she could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life." (Chopin, 12). The author writes this way to symbolize new beginnings and hope. Another example of symbolism that Chopin includes is, "there were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds…" (Chopin 14). The blue sky evokes a feeling of joy and desire.
In the end, Mrs. Mallard sadly dies. But the true reason for her death was what Chopin was trying to project. In the text she wrote, "when the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease–of the joy that kills." (Chopin, 21). Mrs. Mallard's death was not caused by heart disease but the shock of her "dead" husband's ghost walking through the door and the realization of her soon to be lost freedom.
To conclude, Kate Chopin's messages to repressed women were conveyed in her stories while using portrayal, tone, and symbolism in a society where men dominated. In "The Story of an Hour", the character Mrs. Mallard was used to explaining a woman's perceived role and how they could overcome their dependency on men. According to the author, women are strong and have the same capabilities as men.

The Glacial Features, Flora, And Fauna Of The Glacier National Park
Th Glacier National Park is endowed with spectacular natural features like glaciers, moraines, valleys, cirques, tarns, as well as unique flora and fauna.
The landscape of the Glacier National Park.
The Glacier National Park is located on the Canada-United States border in the US state of Montana. The park covers over 1,583 square miles including parts of two mountain ranges. The park is characterized by over 130 lakes, over 1,000 species of plants, and hundreds of animal species. The park has most of its original plants and animal species such as the grizzly bear and moose as well as some of the endangered species including Wolverine. The Glacier National Park is also endowed with spectacular natural features which have been formed through the actions of glacial movement, fluvial deposit, and glacial erosion among other processes. Some of the glacial features and wildlife of Glacial National Park include;
7. Moraines -
Moraine is formed as a result of the accumulation of the unconsolidated glacial debris. The debris is carried along the glacier and consists of particles ranging in size. Moraines are classified either by their origin or by shape. Lateral moraine is created along the sides of a glacier while the terminal moraine is created at the foot of the glacier. Other moraines include the ground and medial moraines. The Moraines can be seen from the Blackfeet Reservation on the eastern boundary of the park.
6. Paternoster Lakes -
Paternoster Lake is a series of small, successively lower lakes connected by a single stream. The name Paternoster is derived from the Latin word for opening word in the Lord's Prayer "Our Father." The lakes are formed by the recessional rock dams created by upstream retreat or melting of the ice. The lakes are known as Paternoster because of their resemblance to the rosary beads. Glacier National Park has five Paternoster lakes including Shelbourne, Swiftcurrent, Josephine, Grinnell, and upper Grinnell lakes.
5. Cirques and Tarns -
Cirques are amphitheater-like valleys formed by glacier erosion on the protected side of the mountain or slope where the snow and ice can pile and curve out to form a deep bowl. Most of the bowl-shaped cirques are sometimes filled with water or glaciers to form a lake-like feature know as tarns. The cirques can be formed through the process of glacial erosion or fluvial erosion with both processes involving glacial movement.
4. Aretes and Horns -
Two adjacent cirques may erode towards one another to create an arête. Arête is a saw-tooth feature formed where two glaciers are curved on each side of the ridge. The edges of arête are sharpened by freeze-thaw weathering while steepening of the sides is as a result of mass wasting. The craggy horns are mountain tops scrapped by glacier on more than three sides.
3. Hanging Valleys -
Hanging Valley is a valley that is higher than the main valley and is formed when a small side-channel glacier or tributary joins a larger and deeper intersecting trunk glacier. The glacier erodes the U-Shaped Valley while the tributary glacier makes a shallower U-shaped valley. Examples of the hanging valleys in Glacier National Park include the one above Bird Woman Fall.
2. U-shaped Valleys -
U-shaped valley is created through the process of glaciations and has a characteristically U shape. When glacier the right course downwards they often fill areas that were previously occupied by rivers or streams. The freezing and re-freezing of the glacier conveyor belt lead to the scouring of the valley into a U-shape resulting in the formation of the U-shaped valleys. Examples include Lake McDonald and Bowman.
1. Flora And Fauna -
All thehistorically known plants and animals still exist in the Glacial National Park.The park contains 1,132 known species of plants. The coniferous forest is homeo some of the common tree species in the park including Douglas fir and limberfir. Grasses and small plants grow on the slopes of the mountain areas of thepark. Two threatened species of mammal are found in this park. These speciesinclude grizzly bear and Canadian lynx. Also, 260 species of birds have beenrecorded in the park.
What Kind of Animals Live in Glacier National Park?
Animals that live in Glacier National Park include 260 species of birds and the threatened species of grizzly bears and Canadian lynx.

Omarosa In Tears Admits The Country Is 'Not Going To Be OK' Under Trump, 'It's Really Bad!' -VIDEO
February 8, 2018 by Mindy Fischer	No Comments
Omarosa breaks down in tears on "Celebrity Big Brother" Thursday night saying the Trump administration "is really bad."
Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman has gone back to reality TV as a contestant on CBS's "Celebrity Big Brother." And she's already throwing the Trump administration under the bus.
In a clip released Thursday by CBS, Omarosa has a conversation with television personality Ross Mathews. And she warns that the Trump administration really is as bad as people fear.
"It's not my circus, not my monkeys, I'd like to say not my problem but I can't say that because — like, it's bad," she says.
When Mathews asks her if the public should be worried, Omarosa, with tears in her eyes, nods yes.
Mathews tells her that he's looking for some kind of reassurance that everything is going to be OK. But Omarosa says, "No. It's going to not be OK. It's not."
"So bad!" she adds seconds later.
Omarosa also complained about Trump's Twitter habit.
"I was haunted by tweets every single day, like what is he going to tweet next?" she said.
On Thursday, the White House pushed back against Omarosa's comments at the daily press briefing.
"Omarosa was fired three times on 'The Apprentice' and this was the fourth time we let her go," Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said. "She had limited contact with the president while here. She has no contact now."


For the couple whose hearts are always intertwined, the Heart Stone Swarovski Titanium Wedding Ring is the ultimate choice for you. This pair of silver rings will surely make your wedding day an unforgettable celebration. These rings are meek in their simple, classic design. However, its simplicity is what makes it an interesting piece. Individually, the Heart Stone rings are silver in its traditional, classic appeal. On the head of the ring, however, each stone is adorned with Swarovski Crystals in a flush and milgrain setting. The rings are both 7-stone masterpieces, the crystals enclosed in an open frame. However, when stacked together, these open borders connect to form a rather shapely heart, completing its Heart Stone design. The silver shanks bring these rings to a wonderful shimmer. ts snag-free design makes it a rather convenient wear for everyday use—not to mention the fact that its Swarovski crystals are safely crafted in the ring to make sure they aren't prone to easy scratching or chipping. The entirety of the ring is made of genuine titanium, which means it is incredibly lightweight on the hand as it is durable. They're also hypoallergenic, anti fade, and anti rust. If one thing is true, it's that these rings aim to exceed your silver wedding anniversary celebration. The frosty hues of these rings make it a complementary wear for people with cool skin tones. The bride's wedding band is also an efficient ring to pair with her flashy engagement silver- or rose gold-hued ring. There isn't any doubt that these rings also make it a suitable fashion accessory for any attire or occasion. It's a definite breath of fresh air compared to the usual gold bands that most couples wear. Whether you are renewing your vows or the two of you are just about to begin your wonderful life together, the Heart Stone Swarovski Titanium Wedding Rings are the best pick for you.

Note: To report a pickup, click here!
VDOT encourages Adopt-a-Highway participants to schedule one of their two yearly pickups during April to coincide with "Earth Day" or in the fall to coincide with the autumn "Day to Serve."
If your group cannot participate on those dates, or weather makes it unsafe to pick up litter, schedule your cleanups for other spring and fall dates.
The Adopt-a-Highway program provides an opportunity for you or your family, business or civic group to clean up litter.
We will recognize your efforts by erecting a sign with your group's name after two pickups have occurred and been documented.
Each year, nearly 18,000 Adopt-a-Highway volunteers collect more than 25,600 bags of waste along Virginia's highways.
We estimate that saves the commonwealth over $1.35 million that would have otherwise gone to clean up Virginia's roads.
AAH volunteers agree to pick up litter at least two times a year for three years over a two-mile stretch of highway.
In return, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) provides trash bags, vests, important safety information, and highway signs that recognize your group. Learn more here.
If you notice an increase in litter on a particular stretch of road, notify us at 800-PRIDEVA (800-774-3382), e-mail adoptahighway@VirginiaDOT.org or contact the Adopt-a-Highway coordinator in your area.
If the road qualifies for the Adopt-a-Highway program, we can list it as a road "most in need" of adoption.
If it does not qualify for the program, we'll forward the information to local the VDOT maintenance office.
VDOT works with other state agencies and organizations to prevent and control litter. Learn more here.

drupa Postponed to April 2021
March 13, 2020 April 19, 2020 News covid19, covid19-resource, drupa
The drupa trade fair scheduled for 16-26 June 2020 will be postponed to 20-30 April 2021. In doing so, Messe Düsseldorf is following the recommendation of the crisis management team of the German Federal Government to take into account the principles of the Robert Koch Institute when assessing the risk of major events. Based on this recommendation and the recent significant increase in the number of people infected with the new corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), including in Europe, Messe Düsseldorf has reassessed the situation. In addition, there is the general ruling issued by the city of Düsseldorf on 11 March 2020, in which major events with more than 1,000 participants present at the same time are generally prohibited.
"The decision was taken in close consultation with our advisory boards and sponsoring associations," emphasises Werner M. Dornscheidt, Chairman of the Board of Management of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. It also reflects the wishes of individual industries: "As their partner, we are currently doing everything in our power to reduce the economic losses suffered by our exhibitors".
"The city of Düsseldorf is following the instructions of the state government. Our aim is to slow down the spread of the corona virus so that the health system can continue to function properly," emphasises Thomas Geisel, Lord Mayor of the state capital of Düsseldorf and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Düsseldorf trade fair company.
Delaying the spread of the virus as far as possible is also a declared goal according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). In order to fulfil Messe Düsseldorf's responsibility for risk prevention, the company primarily had to minimise the increased risk of infection at major events. Measures to reduce the risk of transmission at major events, which the Robert Koch Institute has clearly defined – such as ventilation of the venue appropriate to the risk of infection, the exclusion of persons from risk groups and the comprehensive installation of entrance screening, were practically impossible to implement. Also, comparable measures were and are unreasonable in view of the unforeseeable rapid development and the size of the various events with up to 60,000 participants.
drupa president Claus Bolza-Schünemann also agrees with this: "A postponement of drupa was unavoidable after the latest developments. The decision is therefore right and responsible. Many exhibitors start their logistical preparations middle of March – today's announcement of the postponement enables all those affected to react now, reschedule and prepare for the event date in April 2021. The excitement for 'embrace the future' remains undiminished – also in 2021".
In view of the increased risk entailed by a fair with significant international participation, the industry associations also welcome the announcement: "drupa is the most important meeting place for the international printing industry," says Dr. Markus Heering, Managing Director of the Printing and Paper Technology Trade Association of the VDMA. "True to the motto 'embrace the future', it is characterised by personal, international contact and live product presentations. The risk of infection would simply be too high at present. We therefore support the decision to postpone the event and look forward to the date next year."
The Düsseldorf hotel industry is also sending out an important signal through its umbrella organisation DEHOGA (Trade Association for the Hospitality Industry): "We appeal to our members and the entire industry to be flexible when it comes to rebooking by exhibitors and visitors. The Düsseldorf trade fairs such as drupa play an enormously important role for the city, the hotel industry and the catering trade. It would be counterproductive not to show goodwill in this situation," as both DEHOGA-Representatives Giuseppe Saitta (Chairman Düsseldorf/District Group Rhein-Kreis Neuss) and Rolf D. Steinert (Düsseldorf/Rhein-Kreis Neuss Hotels and Tourism Group) emphasise.
Werner M. Dornscheidt is pleased about the general consensus and encouragement in this special situation: "We would like to thank all partners for their excellent cooperation in making these difficult and time sensitive decisions. We are pleased that together dates were found so quickly in order to provide all those affected with reliability in planning."

Erem, eremitorium, ermitaż (z łac. eremitorium), pustelnia (z ros. пустынь) – klasztor pustelniczy, miejsce zamieszkania eremitów, klasztor zakonników żyjących w odosobnieniu, klasztor mnichów prowadzących pustelnicze życie.

Erem a pustelnia
Pustelnia jest miejscem odosobnienia, zwykle jest to jednoosobowa, skromnie urządzona cela lub wolno stojący domek, zwykle w oddaleniu od cywilizacji, gdzie pustelnik oddaje się modlitwie i postowi. Pustelnia etymologicznie pochodzi z języka rosyjskiego, gdzie jest zakorzeniona religijnie i oznacza pustynię, miejsce pustynne. Erem, będąc synonimem pustelni, jest także swoistego rodzaju pustelnią dla większej liczby osób, zwykle żyjących stale lub tylko czasowo w odosobnieniu mnichów lub mniszek różnych wyznań chrześcijańskich. Pustelnie w formie małych domków z własnym ogródkiem były charakterystyczne dla budownictwa zakonów eremickich (kamedułów, kartuzów) – dobrym przykładem są eremy kamedulskie.

Eremy zakonne
Przykładowe eremy w Polsce:
 Erem Kamedułów na Bielanach w Krakowie (tzw. Erem Srebrnej Góry)
 Erem Kamedułów w Bieniszewie koło Konina (tzw. Erem Pięciu Braci Męczenników)
 Pokamedulski Erem w Rytwianach (tzw. Pustelnia Złotego Lasu, z łac. Eremus Silvae Aureae)- obecnie Relaksacyjno-Kontemplacyjne Centrum Terapeutyczne
 Erem Kapucynów w Zagórzu
 13 eremów kamedulskich w zespole klasztornym Kamedułów na Bielanach w Warszawie

Przykładowe eremy na świecie:
 Erem Kamedułów w Big Sur w stanie Kalifornia (New Camaldoli Hermitage)
 Erem Kamedułów w Berkeley w stanie Kalifornia (Camaldolese Incarnation Monastery)
 Erem Kamedułów w Windsorze w stanie Nowy Jork (Camaldolese Transfiguration Monastery)

UPDATE 1-Juventus plunges after Champions League blow, Ajax leaps
(Adds Ajax shares, updates Juventus shares)
April 17 (Reuters) - Shares in Juventus plunged as much as a quarter in value on Wednesday after the Italian soccer club was knocked out of Europe's Champions League by Ajax Amsterdam.
Shares in the Dutch club, in contrast, surged to a record high as it advanced to the semi-final of the lucrative competition for the first time since 1996/97.
Turin-based Juventus lost 1-2 at home to Ajax on Tuesday in the second leg of the quarter finals, resulting in a 2-3 aggregate defeat.
At 0830 GMT, Juventus shares were down 16.15 percent at 1.4150 euros, after trading as low as 1.275 euros. Ajax shares were up 8.45 percent at 1.4500 euros.
Juventus signed Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo for a transfer fee of 100 million euros ($113 million) in the hope he would help the club win Europe's elite soccer competition, as he did with Real Madrid for the last three seasons.
Juventus has won the Italian league title seven times in a row, but has never managed to win the "treble" of the domestic league, Italy's cup competition and the Champions League.
Inter Milan is the only Italian club to have achieved such a feat, under coach José Mourinho in the 2009-2010 season.
Juventus, which has already been knocked out of the domestic cup competition this season, missed the chance to clinch an eighth consecutive Serie A title on Saturday after a surprise 2-1 defeat at SPAL.

Where Not To Retire
Estate Planning, Retirement Planning / Estate Planning, Fixed Income, Relocate, Retire, St. Petersburg Estate Planning Attorney, Wellness
Where you live during retirement has financial considerations that may override personal preferences, says Financial Advisor's article "Bankrates' Top 10 Worst States to Retire." Deciding where to live in retirement, proximity to family and friends, affordable living costs, access to excellent health care and hospitals, good weather and a low crime rate are the key factors. That's according to a 2018 study from Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Therefore, here's a list of where not to retire.
You might want to steer clear of these states in retirement.
10—South Carolina ranked 50th for wellness and 45 for crime. It's overall ranking in 41st place is a surprise, given how many Northerners are finding their way to the Palmetto State.
9—New Jersey also came in at 41st place, but that's because it ranked 48th in affordability. It's expensive to live between New York City and Philadelphia.
8—California dreaming is great when you're a Silicon Valley billionaire, but despite great weather and a wellness culture, the state ranks at 49th for affordability. It ranks 43rd overall.
7—Oregon has some of the same issues as California – very expensive to live here. The Beaver State ranks sixth in culture, but the price is very high.
6—Nevada is finding its way onto a lot of retirement lists, but at 17th in culture and 27th in weather, crime comes in at 40th and 48th at wellness. Tourism is the anchor of the state, and economic downturns take a big hit on the Silver State.
5—Washington is 41st in affordability and 46th overall. It does rain a lot.
4—Illinois is a nice blend of midwestern wide open spaces and big cities, but if you are planning on retiring near Chicago, bring lots of cash. Illinois ranks at 40th in affordability and 49th in wellness. Overall, the state came in at 47th.
3—Alaska is a chilly place to retire, and far from families living in the lower 48. It has become one of the most expensive, dangerous and inhospitable places to live, according to this article. Ranking 38th in affordability, 49th in crime and 50 in weather, Alaska comes in at 48th overall.
2—New York is wonderful for culture, coming in at 7th place, but so expensive that most people prefer to visit. It comes in at 50th for affordability.
1—Maryland's closeness to our nation's capital is expensive, ranking 47th in affordability. The weather is mild, which makes it attractive to many, and there's always something to do in or near Washington, D.C. However, the cost makes it tough for people on fixed incomes. It ranks 50th overall.
The survey found that almost four in ten retirees say they've moved at least once after retirement When it comes to relocating for retirement, do more than visit. Rent for a few months, or even a year. If you do move to another state, make sure to update your estate plan. State laws regarding estate planning vary, and what is legal in one state may not work in another.

Opinion, Politics
Rush Limbaugh has a weird way of apologizing
Kara Menini March 2, 2012, 17:07 November 12, 2019
Limbaugh takes comments about contraception debate a step further
Rush Limbaugh has received a whole load of backlash for his comments about Georgetown University law student, Sandra Fluke, who was denied the right to speak as the Democratic female witness at the hearing on the congressional contraception rule. He called Fluke a 'slut' and said that Fluke and her fellow female law students "are having so much sex, they are going broke buying birth control pills." Not only was Rush Limbaugh wrong in his statement (birth control pills are taken once a day no matter how much sex is being had); he has decided to not apologize and go, instead, a step further.
Rush Limbaugh, on his show on Thursday, expanded on Foster Friess' controversial comment about girls in "his day" putting aspirin between their knees as a form of contraception, "'A Georgetown coed told Nancy Pelosi's hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex they're going broke, so you and I should have to pay for their birth control. So what would you call that? I called it what it is,'" he said. 'So, I'm offering a compromise today: I will buy all of the women at Georgetown University as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want,'" said the Huffington Post. This statement, however, isn't even the worst part.
Rush Limbaugh continued his tirade with another compromise; if the taxpayers are made to pay for contraception then the women using said contraception have to put videos of themselves having sex up on the internet. Rush Limbaugh said, "So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal; if we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it … we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch." Because of the sexist and incredibly disgusting comments made by Rush Limbaugh, according to the Huffington Post, "the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which has raised a significant amount of money and gained support in the wake of the recent battles over birth control, circulated a petition on Thursday to ask Republican leaders to denounce [Rush] Limbaugh's tirade." Jesse Ferguson who is a spokesman for the DCCC said, "The real question is whether Republicans are willing to stand up to him and his repulsive attacks on women."
The target who Rush Limbaugh has been attacking has finally spoken on the matter, said the Huffington Post. Sandra Fluke responded to comments made by Rush Limbaugh on Thursday, "We are fortunate to live in a democracy where everyone is entitled to their own opinions regarding legitimate policy differences. Unfortunately, numerous commentators have gone far beyond the acceptable bounds of civil discourse. No woman deserves to be disrespected in this manner. This language is an attack on all women, and has been used throughout history to silence our voices. The millions of American women who have and will continue to speak out in support of women's health care and access to contraception prove that we will not be silenced."

The Graphical: Portland Timbers 1-0 Nashville SC
By Tim Sullivan March 10, 2020
2 Comments on The Graphical: Portland Timbers 1-0 Nashville SC
Welcome to The Graphical, wherein I mine some of Opta's publicly-available data to glean some insights about Nashville SC's most recent result. Today, a frustrating road loss to Portland Timbers.
The passes are key
We already know Nashville SC didn't score. Everyone has expressed some question or another about the finishing (about which more in a moment). But where did Nashville actually generate its offense from against the Timbers? Here's the map of the team's key passes (passes that lead to shots – would-be assists) in the game:
"Zone 14" is considered the most important offensive area on the field, and is the area just outside the penalty area – about halfway to the midfield stripe – the width of said box.
They break down like so:
Two from corner kicks (one Daniel Lovitz, one Hany Mukhtar)
Two from within the penalty area to shooters also inside the box (one from Walker Zimmerman, one from Mukhtar)
One from Zone 14 into the penalty area (Dax McCarty)
Two from within Zone 14 to shooters in Zone 14 (Mukhtar and McCarty)
Crosses from the left side (one from Jimmy Medranda into the box, one from Randall Leal to Zone 14)
One from Mukhtar near midfield, in which Randall Leal dribbled into Zone 14 before taking the shot.
There's not a whole lot to dislike there. Nashville is generating offense from dangerous areas, and getting shooters in reasonably dangerous positions. Well, somewhat reasonably: 1.11 xG – per Opta's model – on 14 shots is not great! Average xG per shot in MLS for the entire dataset 2011-19 is 0.097 (per American Soccer Analysis's slightly-different model), so with MLS-average shots, you'd see around 1.351 expected goals.
So, the shots that Nashville SC is getting are a little below-average (four assisted by crosses, some from headers, both of which are lower-value categories), but at this point, the meager scoring is more attributable to two causes – a new team getting used to each other, and some simple bad luck – than underlying stats indicating that this will be a poor offense. Some teams consistently underperform xG over the course of a season, but more often than not, this would regress to the mean.
It's still possible that an elite finisher is needed in the transfer market (I'd like to get Daniel Ríos a longer run-out before demanding it). There's not enough evidence through two games to assert that.
Here are Portland's defensive actions (defending the bottom goal) both before and after Diego Valeri gave his team a lead:
Before Valeri's goal
After Valeri's goal
They didn't really change much schematically, so much as they continued doing the same thing: drawing a low line of defensive confrontation just on the far side of midfield, and concentrating on preventing good chances, rather than creating turnovers or playing a positive game.
There's no shame in that with a lead. It's certainly still a context that applies to Nashville's scoring difficulties as outlined above. Portland was a mediocre xG defense but a good strict goals-against defense last year, and it's easy to see how their scheme is designed to make that happen: pack the box and above all else, protect the keeper.
Final third woes
So we've seen two sides of a coin with one noting that Nashville probably could/should have had more effective offense, and another that shows how Portland worked to prevent that, despite giving up a high volume of shots.
Here's the piece that ties it together: if Nashville wasn't creating an assist in the final third, the Boys in Gold were hardly connecting their passes at all:
Some of those are speculative lumps in from the wings, and certainly as the full-time whistle approached with NSC sporting a 1-0 deficit in the game, you can see why that became the gameplan (over-reliance on crossing and set-piece play while down a goal is one of the very legit criticisms of Gary Smith's tactical approach through two USL seasons and one USL game, though).
Hopefully, some of the imprecision we're seeing here will also be worked out with more time on the field together at game speed. Nashville is having to deal with a roster turnover that only Inter Miami shares. The more quickly NSC can overcome that season-starting disadvantage, the more quickly things will turn to the positive.
Nashville is creating a fair number of scoring chances, but the individuals have to be better to create even more of them, and to earn a shot out of moving the ball into dangerous positions on a more consistent basis.
Legit defense?
From an expected goals perspective, holding Atlanta United to 0.24 in Week One is probably more impressive than limiting the Timbers to 0.18 in Week Two. I'd still say we're getting some indications that the Nashville defense is elite.
Once again, it took something of a moment of individual brilliance (and maaaaaybe some sketchiness on that single play – but it's a 15-second stretch in a 90-minute game still) to beat Nashville. "It took X to beat Nashville" necessitates "you beat Nashville," though, and neither team will come away embarrassed about taking all three points.
Portland in particular wasn't even really trying to advance into the attacking third once the Timbers too the lead.
They got on Nashville's end of midfield and passed it around the horn, or lumped a forward pass into the attacking zone. Some of that is attributable to Nashville's defense. Some of it is attributable to the Timbers not even trying to score (which ultimately proved to be the right approach in that situation). Contrast that with Nashville's final-third passing noted above: while they weren't successful in completing the last pass frequently enough, they concentrated on getting into deep positions before attempting that final ball.
Toronto FC has averaged nearly 2.00 xG per game through two matchdays. This weekend should tell a much better picture of just how strong Nashville's defense is on its own merits (for what it's worth, Atlanta and Portland both racked up more than 1.50 xG in their non-Nashville game).
For now, signs are good. There doesn't appear (with extremely limited data) to be anything structural in Nashville's defense causing opponents to outperform their expected goals on a consistent basis.
What did you see in the data? Poke around and feel free to share your observations in the comments or on social media.

Q: racket: macro expand inside match pattern Is there any way to detect if a macro is expanding inside a pattern match?
Here's an example macro that I'd like to write, but it fails inside a match-define:
#lang racket/base
(require racket/match (for-syntax racket/base syntax/parse))

(struct point (x y))

(define-syntax (friendly-point stx)
  (syntax-parse stx
   [(_ arg* ...)
    #'(begin (printf "Now making a point\n") (point arg* ...))]
   [_ #'(begin (printf "Hello point\n") point)]))

(define p (friendly-point 1 2))
 ;; Prints "Now making a point"

(match-define (friendly-point x y) p)
;; ERROR

A: Yes. Instead of using an ordinary syntax transformer created with define-syntax, use define-match-expander to create a macro that can cooperate with match.
(require (for-syntax syntax/parse))

(define-match-expander positive
  (syntax-parser
    [(_ n)
     #'(? positive? n)]))

(match 3
  [(positive n) (~a n " is positive")])
; => "3 is positive"

The define-match-expander form is flexible: it can be used to create macros that may only be used inside of match, but it can also be used to create macros that expand differently depending on how they are used by providing two transformer functions, one for each context. This allows you to have "context-sensitive" identifiers which work as both functions and as match expanders.
(require (for-syntax syntax/parse)
         (prefix-in base: racket/base))

(define-match-expander syntax
  (syntax-parser
    [(_ x)
     #'(? syntax? (app syntax->datum x))])
  (make-rename-transformer #'base:syntax))

(match (syntax (1 2 3))
  [(syntax n) (~a n " is a syntax list")])

If you need even more flexibility, you can forego define-match-expander entirely and define a custom struct with the prop:match-expander structure type property. This can be combined with prop:procedure to achieve the two-argument functionality described above, but it can also hold state, and it can be paired with other structure type properties such as prop:rename-transformer to allow the same identifier to function in many, many different contexts.

A: What you are looking for is define-match-expander. It allows you to make a macro that is expanded inside of a pattern matching context. (Also, because it takes in two thunks, you can have a variant that is also used when not in a matching context. Next, I should point out that
Next, you can have a printing side effect inside of the template of a define-match-expander, but you can have in the macro itself. (Note though that the side effect will not occur if your module has already been expanded. This is explain in more detail in this paper.
So, using match expanders, including a second function for use outside of match, you get the following code:
#lang racket/base

(require racket/match (for-syntax racket/base syntax/parse))

(struct point (x y))

(define-match-expander friendly-point
  (lambda (stx)
    (syntax-parse stx
      [(_ arg* ...)
       (printf "Now matching a point\n")
       #'(point arg* ...)]
      [_ #'point]))
  (lambda (stx)
    (syntax-parse stx
      [(_ args* ...)
       #'(begin (printf "Now making a point\n") (point args* ...))])))

(define p (friendly-point 1 2))
 ;; Prints "Now making a point"

(match-define (friendly-point x y) p)
;; Works fine now


1757-1825,Russian painter of Ukrainian birth. Along with Fyodor Rokotov and Dmitry Levitsky, Borovikovsky is one of the three great Russian portrait painters of the second half of the 18th century. He was trained by his father and brothers, who were icon painters. His early works were also icons, such as the Mother of God (1784; Kiev, Mus. Ukrain. A.) and King David (1785; St Petersburg, Rus. Mus.); they are archaic in style and resemble portraits produced by Ukrainian folk artists. At the end of the 1780s Borovikovsky moved to St Petersburg and took up portrait painting. He was aided by advice from Levitsky and took lessons from Johann Baptist Lampi (i). He soon became established, gaining a reputation as a brilliant colourist, and he received many commissions. Throughout his career, however, he continued to paint icons from time to time. In 1795 he became a member of the St Petersburg Academy of Arts; he was also closely connected with many of the chief exponents of Russian culture in the city. The number of his surviving works is large (at least 400 portraits). He had his own workshop, and he would often rely on assistants to paint the less important parts of a portrait. His sitters included members of the imperial family, courtiers, generals, many aristocrats and figures from the Russian artistic and literary worlds. Most of his portraits are intimate in style. A particularly touching example is the portrait of Ol ga Filippova, the wife of a close friend (c. 1790; St Petersburg, Rus. Mus.), who is seen in a white peignoir with a park in the background. The portrait is painted in a flowing style; the combination of light, subdued tones, typical of Borovikovsky, gives an impression of tender femininity and quiet contemplation.


Fatherhood. What does it look like in today's culture? Recently, Viacom conducted major research to examine the lives of fathers around the world. Here's what they found.
80% of dads want to be better fathers for their kids than their own dads were to them.
Fathers are also monitoring their own physical and mental well-being. Compared to single men without children, today's modern dads are 42% more likely to have regular check-ups, 18% more likely to take supplements and 9% more likely to eat healthy.
Modern fathers are looking for guidance on being a good father. Studies show that 50% of fathers in America want to be a better father. But the truth is, the same support and resources for fathers is less than what is available for mothers. Modern fathers are looking for help. 44% of modern fathers believe that being a good father is the single most important thing in their life.
Modern fathers are looking for ways to have more time with their kids. 45% of fathers feel frustrated about not being able to spend more time with their kids. The good news is this. Modern fathers spend an average of 3 more hours a day with their kids on weekdays and 2 hours more on the weekends than fathers did 10 years ago.
Invest in fathers by teaching them how to be great fathers. What is your role as a father based on God's Word? What parenting style should you use with your kids? How do you to raise your kids to follow Jesus? How do you connect with your child on a daily basis? How do you parent through the different stages of your child growing up.
More than ever, we need godly men who will lead their families spiritually. Let's be faithful to encourage and equip fathers to do just that.
