NHL Power Rankings: Rangers, Wild climbing toward top
By Adam GretzDec 7, 2021, 10:50 AM EST
Jared Silber/NHLI via Getty Images
In this week's edition of the NHL Power Rankings we see some big climbs from the Rangers and Wild, two of the hottest teams in the league.
Both teams are riding winning streaks of at least five games or more and keep finding ways to win.
For Minnesota, it is the kind of offense that we have never really seen from the Wild.
For the Rangers, it is all about the goaltending of Igor Shesterkin and their superstars at the top of the lineup. They check in with second and third place rankings this week, making big climbs up to the top-10.
Where does your team sit?
To this week's NHL Power Rankings!
1. Florida Panthers (LW: 5). A three-game winning streak, including wins against Washington and St. Louis, helps the Panthers regain the top spot. They have the league's best record (by points percentage) and have built a heck of a team.
2. New York Rangers (LW: 9). Are they best team in hockey? Not sure of that. But they have superstars in the right places to carry them pretty far. Their only loss over the past month was a 2-1 loss to Toronto, another of the league's hottest teams at the moment.
3. Minnesota Wild (LW: 10). He is not the only one responsible for it, but it is amazing how much the arrival of Kirill Kaprizov a year ago completely changed the identity and playing style of this team.
[Related: Wild's offense scoring goals like never before]
4. Toronto Maple Leafs (LW: 1). Little bit of a slip-up the past two games but they are still playing great hockey this season. The past will haunt them until they do something different, but try to enjoy the moment if you are a Maple Leafs fan.
5. Washington Capitals (LW: 2). The way they have continued to score goals and win with so many key players sidelined has been impressive, and overshadowed a nice bounce back season so far for Ilya Samsonov in net. Also, Alex Ovechkin keeps chasing Wayne Gretzky.
[Related: Ovechkin reaches 750 goals, keeps chasing Gretzky]
6. Tampa Bay Lightning (LW: 7). The way this team is still playing without Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point at the moment is absurd. An insanely deep team and organization. You do not win back-to-back Stanley Cups by accident.
7. Colorado Avalanche (LW: 6). Cale Makar is going to be one of those guys that is head and shoulders above everybody else at his position.
8. Calgary Flames (LW: 9). The defense and goaltending has been great, but they are still scoring goals, too. Johnny Gaudreau specifically is having a huge year. Good news for him in a contract year.
9. Edmonton Oilers (LW: 3). The true barometer for this team will be what they look like when their power play and penalty kill numbers come back to earth a little bit.
10. Carolina Hurricanes (LW: 4). Their only wins over the past seven games have come against Philadelphia and Buffalo. They have hit their first slump of the season. Not going to worry too much yet.
11. Dallas Stars (LW: 15). Things are starting to come together here for the Stars as they are looking like the team they were supposed to be. They have won nine of their past 10 games, allowing more than two goals in just one of those games. As of Tuesday they have a six-game winning streak.
12. Vegas Golden Knights (LW: 11). Still trying to find some consistency, but given the injury situation they have done their job to stay in it until everybody can get back in the lineup (and that is starting to happen).
13. Boston Bruins (LW: 12). They are keeping the seat warm for Tuukka Rask. The question, though, is can they find somebody to play center?
[Related: Bruins keeping crease warm for potential Rask return]
14. Pittsburgh Penguins (LW: 14). Jake Guentzel is one of the best wingers in hockey and he is playing some of the best hockey of his career right now.
15. Winnipeg Jets (LW: 17). They are starting to play their way out of the slump that took over most of November. Still feels like Connor Hellebuyck has another level he can get to this season.
16. Detroit Red Wings (LW: 22). The two players they need to be great (Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider) look great, and they are still in playoff contention approaching the new calendar year. Not only are better days ahead, they are close.
17. St. Louis Blues (LW: 13). They started the year 7-1-1 but are just 5-7-3 in the 15 games since then. Trending in the wrong direction.
18. Anaheim Ducks (LW: 19). Will they make the playoffs? Not sure, but they are absolutely exceeding expectations and have some real promise ahead.
19. Columbus Blue Jackets (LW: 16). Columbus is better than expected right now, but is that going to be enough to sneak in the playoffs?
20. Nashville Predators (LW: 18). This might be the best Nashville can hope for right now with this group: Fringe playoff contention.
21. San Jose Sharks (LW: 23). The biggest shocker of the season might be the play of James Reimer in goal. They might have had another Stanley Cup Final appearance over the past six years with goaltending like he is giving them.
22. Seattle Kraken (LW: 24). Big step backward against Pittsburgh on Monday night but they are still 5-2-1 over the past eight games so they are definitely going in the right direction.
23. New Jersey Devils (LW: 20). Such a promising start that is getting erased.
24. Chicago Blackhawks (LW: 25). They have been a lot better since the coaching change but they buried themselves with such a terrible start.
25. Philadelphia Flyers (LW: 20). The thought here was that if Carter Hart was good, the Flyers would be good. He has been good, and the Flyers have still been lousy. Not exactly a good sign for the rest of the team.
[Related: Flyers coach Vigneault fired after slow start]
26. Los Angeles Kings (LW: 26). They are either winning a lot of games in a row or losing a lot of games in a row. Right now it is more of the latter.
27. Buffalo Sabres (LW: 27). Tough to see how things get better anytime soon here with this roster. It is a long road back to the playoffs.
28. New York Islanders (LW: 28). The losing streak is now at 11 games. Some of it is out of their control with their COVID issues and mounting injuries, but nothing is going well here even outside of that.
29. Ottawa Senators (LW: 32). They strung together a couple of wins this week but this is still a bleak situation with little progress.
30. Vancouver Canucks (LW: 31). The significant organizational changes were long overdue.
31. Montreal Canadiens (LW: 30). They did not need injuries to Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli. That makes an already thin lineup even thinner.
32. Arizona Coyotes (LW: 32). You have to look for positives here. Shayne Gostisbehere has been a positive, if only to be used as another trade chip.

Paxman: 'I am a Tory… Newsnight is Made by 13-Year-Olds'
Freed from the shackles of the BBC behemoth, Jeremy Paxman seems to be enjoying getting off the fence and telling us what he really thinks. It turns out he claims to be a closet Eurosceptic who believes Europe has been "nothing but trouble for us", and has been secretly sound all along:"I am in favour of governments getting out of people's lives. Particularly foreign government. The closer you can take decision-making to the people affected by those decisions, the better." Speaking at Chalke Valley History Festival, Paxo revealed political leanings for the first time: "I have to be frank, I suppose I am a one-nation Tory, yes." He also gave the audience his explanation for Newsnight's shift to the left:
"Look, Newsnight is made by 13-year-olds. It's perfectly normal when you're young that you want to change the world. The older you get, the more you realise what a fools' errand much of that is and that the thing to do is to manage the best you can to the advantage of as many people as possible."
That explains Ian Katz's tousled hair and youthful looks…

Heart of the Universe
Chanting with Snatam Kaur
Snatam Kaur and Sopurkh Singh
We are delighted to welcome Snatam Kaur back to the ashram as part of the annual Christmas and New Year Symposium.
Join one of the most inspirational singers of devotional music of the Sikh tradition as she shares her angelic voice through song in two evening satsang performances. She and her husband, Sopurkh, will also offer two afternoon workshops in which you will be able to dive deep into the practices of kirtan, releasing pent-up emotions and fostering healing on the mental, physical, and spiritual levels.
Offered as 2 satsangs and 2 afternoon workshops. (subject to change)
How to release emotions through chanting
How to foster concentration and create one-pointedness in the mind
How to create a feeling of interconnectedness with others and all things and beings in the Universe
Stress management through devotional singing
Increasing positive mood, feelings of relaxation and focused attention
Promote internal self-healing on spiritual, mental, physical, and intellectual levels with communal and individual chanting practices
What is kirtan?
What is kirtan? Kirtan is derived from the Sanskrit root meaning to call, recite, praise, or glorify. Put simply, it is the act of praising and glorifying some form of divinity. Kirtan involves joyous chanting often performed in a community environment with the accompaniment of instruments such as the harmonium, tabla, and cymbals.
The resurgence of kirtan in the 20th century in the East coincided with a renewed zeal or focus being placed on Bhakti yoga, the yoga of self-surrender and devotion. Swami Sivananda, one of India's modern sages, did much to reignite the fire of kirtan in India by going from town to town and vigorously leading the entire town's population into chants that lasted days. Since the mid-20th century, kirtan and the chanting of mantras has found its way to the West. Many find the chanting of mantras appealing because it doesn't require intense focus and is often done in a collective environment that is supportive and uplifting.
What are the benefits of kirtan?
Chanting mantra has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, dependencies and many mental ailments. The Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation recommends the chant Saa Taa Naa Maa for improving memory, developing greater attention, concentration, and focus, and bettering the mood. Other research studies also showcase the benefit of chanting for chronic pain conditions.
The practice of kirtan or chanting mantra regularly has been shown to bring our bodies back into balance, promoting holistic wellbeing: mental, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Chanting helps us regulate our sleep, energy input and output, and, thanks to the stimulation of the vagus nerve, the "rest and digest" response of our bodies which is also responsible for regulating breathing, heart rate, muscles, digestion, circulation, and even the vocal cords. Simply put, chanting helps slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure, relax different muscles and produce slow, regular, and deep respiration.

Beirut, 9 Feb. (AKI)
The United Nations special envoy to Syria has put forward a plan to create a federal state in the war-wracked country, drawing mixed reactions from the opposition, sources told Adnkronos International on Tuesday
"Staffan Di Mistura consulted with some of the opposition over the hypothesis of setting up a federal state in Syria," the sources told AKI.
One of Syria's leading opposition forces, the Democratic Union Party, has elected a parliament, appointed ministers and created Kurdish-majority militias to protect towns in the areas of northern Syria it is said to control.
"Some opposition members rejected the plan, stressing that Syria needed to remain a centralised state, while it was welcomed by others belonging to non-Arab national groups such as the Kurds," said the sources.
Forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad as well as his ally Russia support the idea of a federal state, according to Di Mistura, the sources said.
Syrian peace talks resumed in Geneva on Monday last week but after just three days Di Mistura announced "a pause", saying the talks would resume in Geneva on 25 February.
Analysts said there were no tangible results achieved at the talks amid still wide disagreement between the al-Assad government and the opposition.
Over 250,000 Syrians have died and more than 11 million others have been forced from their homes in the almost five-year-long civil war that is pitting rebels against forces loyal to Assad and jihadist militants from the so-called Islamic State.

UConn women's 'tiniest Husky' inspiring players on and off court in battle with blood disorder
By Emily DeCiccio | Fox News
Girl battling rare genetic disorder turns to UConn Huskies for inspiration
Daniela Ciriello is currently six-years-old and was diagnosed at fourteen months with Beta Thalassemia Major which is also known as Cooley's Anemia. Find out how she became a member of one of the most dominant teams in basketball, the University of Connecticut Huskies, and learn what head coach Geno Auriemma and the team's star players have to say about their newest teammate.
With 11 national championships, it's clear that the UConn women's basketball team knows how to fight and win battles, which is why this season they've signed a 6-year-old teammate facing tough hurdles of her own.
Daniela Ciriello, the Huskies' youngest teammate, was diagnosed at just 14 months old with Beta Thalassemia Major which is also known as Cooley's Anemia.
"What that means is that she has a genetic disorder where her blood does not produce healthy red blood cells and requires her to get blood transfusions every three weeks just to live," Dan Ciriello, Daniela's father, told Fox News.

Daniela said her disorder causes her to "get poked in the chest and the arm for new blood so I have energy."
In addition to the transfusions, Ciriello said his daughter has to undergo iron chelation therapy to remove excess iron from her body. He said one of the toughest parts about coping with Daniela's disorder is "the constant need for blood and monitoring her, and the fact that the very thing curing her (blood) is also poisoning her with iron overload long-term, it is very frustrating."
Daniela's hospital, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, connected her with Team Impact, which is a national nonprofit that places children facing serious and chronic illnesses with local college athletic teams. When Daniela was paired with the UConn Lady Huskies, the family was "over the moon."
"If you're from Connecticut, you know UConn, you know the women's basketball team, it's the sport here in the state since we don't have any professional teams, so it couldn't be a better match for Daniela," Ciriello, also a UConn alumnus, said.

Daniela signed a National Letter of Intent to become an honorary member of the Huskies in November 2018 during a press conference following UConn's season opener against Ohio State. Head Coach Geno Auriemma said his newest recruit "has an incredibly infectious way about her that makes everyone who meets her fall in love with her."
"She's a reminder of how fortunate we are to do what we do with our God-given talents and opportunity," Auriemma told Fox News.
Daniela's presence at team functions, games and practices is also an inspiration for players to work hard. Star point guard Crystal Dangerfield said her young teammate makes the players "want to play a bit harder."
"Knowing what she's going through and her wanting to be here and be up for us is really special," Dangerfield told Fox News.
And for Daniela, who will cheer on her teammates as they vie for their 12th title, the partnership offers her a chance to "feel strong."
"Being a Husky makes me feel happy and it makes me feel strong and better," she said.

Isle of Palms is a city with in Charleston County and is a barrier island on the South Carolina coast. The town lies along a narrow strip of land, hugging the beach, separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. It is an affluent community of both vacation home owners and year-round residents, with large beachfront homes, resorts, and local restaurants.
Originally named Hunting Island and then Long Island, it's thought to be at least 25,000 years old, and first inhabited by the indigenous Seewee Indians. The Seewees were said to have greeted the first English settlers to the area by swimming to the ships and carrying the travelers to shore. Whatever contributions the English made to the Seewees reportedly inspired some of them to try and reach England in their canoes-all lost at sea in storms.
Isle of Palms County Park was developed by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission in 1996 in response to public demand for improved beach access in the East Cooper area. The park is operated for the enjoyment of the citizens and visitors of Charleston County. Isle of Palms County Park offers beautiful ocean frontage with lifeguards on duty seasonally along a beachfront designated swimming area.
Wild Dunes is an oceanfront resort on Isle of Palms. It has two famous golf courses on it: the Wild Dunes Links Course, and the Harbor Course, both designed by Tom Fazio. It also has a nationally ranked tennis complex with 17 clay courts, and an award-winning family recreation program.

22. Speaking of the dead
22. Speaking of the dead. Returning to funerary customs and grave goods from late Roman military burials
Session Chairs: Vince Van Thienen & Sofie Vanhoutte
Affiliation: Ghent University, Belgium
Affiliation of co-organiser: Flanders Heritage Agency / Ghent University, Belgium
Session Abstract: Fifty years after the publication of the late Roman graveyard at the Oudenburg fort by Mertens & Van Impe (1971), and nearly as long since the influential publication by Böhme (1974) on Germanic grave goods in the Late Roman period, it is time to reassess our ideas of late Roman burial customs, grave goods and their chronology (period c. AD 250-450).
During the past half century, our understanding of the Late Roman period has developed significantly, mainly because of the increasing archaeological evidence of its military population. Nevertheless, many of the chronologies for grave goods published in the 1970s are still used as standard references to date late Roman artefacts and their contexts. However, many of these typo-chronologies and interpretations have become outdated, often tied up in biases based on circular reasoning related to traditional notions of the Germanic immigration.
Since the 1970s and '80s burial archaeology has gradually become less prominent, allowing outdated knowledge to persist into the present-day identification and dating of late Roman military burials (cf. cremation versus inhumation; the uncritical use of numismatic evidence; the correlation between weapons as grave goods and Germanic people). Fortunately, recent studies and techniques can bring new data to the table and allow us to take a fresh look on the identity of late Roman soldiers at the frontiers (e.g. isotopes and DNA) that can be paired with a reinvestigation of the material culture and burial customs.
Given that the most prominent late Roman burials are military graveyards and that they serve as a basis for much of the material chronologies (e.g. Krefeld-Gellep), a re-evaluation of them would not only adjust our understanding of the late Roman military communities at the frontiers, but would also have implications for the dating and interpreting of many late Roman (military) sites across the Empire.

Late Roman graves of the Vieuxville cemetery (province of Liege, Belgium)

The Late Roman and Merovingian site of Vieuxville is famous for having yielded a funerary assemblage attributed to the first half of the 5th century, discovered fortuitously in 1938 and published in 1956 (BREUER & ROOSENS, 1956). The presence of coins of Constantine III and Jovin have made this ensemble a regularly cited reference since. The site also gave its name to a particular type of belt (BÖHME, 1974, p. 61). Other objects from the 1938 find were published in 1982 (VAN OSSEL, 1982). Systematic excavations carried out from 1980 to 1985 shed light on the context of this discovery. They showed that the material published in 1956 did not come from an isolated grave, but from several burials. These tombs belong to a vast cemetery of about 190 tombs used from the beginning of the 5th century to the middle of the 7th century (e.g. ALÉNUS-LECERF, 1986). These excavations have only recently been studied in detail. Despite the various degradations it has suffered over time, the Vieuxville cemetery has proved to be exceptional for the chronology of 5th century burials in northern Gaul, for several reasons. Firstly, most of the graves yielded material. Secondly, the necropolis developed regularly and continuously from north-west to south-east. Finally, several graves from the first half of the 5th century have been dated by coins, which makes it possible to set some reliable chronological markers. In particular, the phase of the 'simple' belts, dated approximately to the middle third of the 5th century, is particularly well represented, with some thirty tombs, eight of which yielded this type of belt. The transitions from this phase to the Kerbschnittverzierte Gurtelgarnituren phase that preceded it, and to the so-called 'Childeric horizon' that succeeded it, are clearly discernible.

Late Roman funerary customs and grave goods on the burial ground at Kozolec (Emona/Ljubljana, Slovenia)

Archaeological investigations in the northern part of Ljubljana have uncovered part of the northern cemetery of the Roman colony of Emona at the Kozolec site. This well-researched Roman city, which lies below the centre of Ljubljana, was constructed at the beginning of the 1st century AD. However, the date of its abandonment is difficult to confirm, as different views on the end of Emona are placing it roughly between the mid-5th and mid-6th century. Throughout its existence, Emona had three extensive cemeteries that lined its main arteries, as was customary in the Roman world. Of these, most is known on the northern cemetery, where the total number of graves excavated thus far exceeds 3000. Investigations at the Kozolec site revealed a part of the cemetery with 61 graves, 16 of which were early cremations, and another 45 inhumations from the 2nd century onwards, most of them dating from the 4th to the middle of the 5th century. In this paper we focus on the later burials and the individuals buried in them. They include 19 male, 14 female and 10 children's graves, while two burials remain undetermined. Although the burial rite does not differ significantly between individuals, the differences in attire and other accessories suggest that a certain number of buried males may have been soldiers and foreigners. According to the objects of attire they could have been members of late Roman military units as well as foreigners of Germanic and/or Sarmatic origin. This is consistent with the observation that in the Late Roman period the wider area of Emona was a military zone established around the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum, and with the observation that the density of military material from the wider area is very similar to that from the border areas of the Rhine and Danube.
Challenging late antique chronology – graves as indicators of continuity
Rebecca Nashan, Newcastle University
The research perspective on Late Antiquity is gradually changing due to the growing archaeological knowledge and the prevailing zeitgeist. There is a clear shift away from the concept of omnipresent decline towards the idea of transformation and continuity. However, there is a lack of a robust chronology of material culture that can substantiate this change in the dating of finds and find complexes. In the course of my doctoral thesis, I am evaluating hitherto unpublished and published material evidence from 4th and 5th century Belgian, French and German burial sites in a transnational study. A large-scale database will not only facilitate the reappraisal of dating sources but also clarify possible patterns in burial customs and the composition of grave goods. This paper exemplifies the problematic nature of established typo-chronologies on the basis of so-called key finds from selected, newly researched graves. Due to the absence of more reliable sources, dating approaches emerged at this research stage that are influenced by a historical narrative generated from ancient written sources. These chronological fixed points are still replicated by less critical citation and lead to circular arguments and a pronounced early dating of material culture. The result is a hiatus in the settlement landscape at the beginning of the 5th century AD. Consequently, this creates a distorted perspective on Late Antiquity and limits the interpretation potential of further research questions on topics such as border communities and cultures, ethnicity, identity and religion.
The late Roman grave of the children of the triarch Domitianus at Boulogne-sur-Mer: A re- interpretation
Julie Flahaut, Olivier Blamangin, INRAP, Angélique Demon, Service archéologique de Boulogne-sur-Mer, Christine Hoët Van Cauwenberghe, université de Lille
Excavations at Boulogne-sur-Mer began during the 16th century, but it was really during the 19th century that the Late Antique cemeteries of this city were systematically explored. After a gap of a century, several new excavations have added to our understanding of this topic, in particular those of 1973 and two intervention in advance of development in 2007 and 2008. They are mainly located between Vieil-Âtre/Val-Saint-Martin and Bréquerecque, at the known limits of the occupation on the Gesoriacum-Bononia site. The tombs excavated at Vieil-Âtre in 1888-1889 by Jean-Baptiste Lelaurain yielded a remarkable assemblage: lead sarcophagi, complete funerary monuments, and extremely well-preserved furnishings including an exceptional collection of glassware, ceramics, pewter objects and "black rocks" (shale, jet). Twenty-nine burials have been reconstructed thanks to the surviving documentation (museum catalogues and newspaper articles for instance). Among them, one funerary group attracts our attention in particular, that of the children of the triarch Domitianus, discovered on 27 October 1888. This is the only intact funerary monument in Boulogne-sur-Mer with an explicitly military inscription (CIL, XIII, 3545) associated with grave furniture. Few tombs from Late Antiquity have been identified as 'military' in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Claude Seillier made an inventory in 1995 based on the 19th century publications and certain objects held in museum collections in Boulogne-sur-Mer and Oxford. He was particularly interested in the metal objects such as belt fittings and cruciform fibulae found at Vieil-Âtre and Bréquerecque. The study of the funerary ensemble of the children of the triarch Domitianus, belonging to the classis britannica, gives us the opportunity to propose a global and contextualised re-reading of an ancient discovery, relatively well documented. Through this burial, it is possible to propose a new interpretation of this group, supported by the furniture and the historiography of its discovery, and thus to shed new light on the historical, military and archaeological context of the site of Boulogne-sur-Mer in the second half of the 3rd century.
Foederati and the villa landscape? small-scale burials in Germania Secunda in Late Antiquity
James Dodd, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
The end of the villa landscape in the north-western Roman provinces is characterized by significant transformation. One facet is the use of the villa complex and its surrounding area for funerary purposes. Traditionally, these burials have been divided into large-scale reuse of sites in the Migration period and small-scale transitional burials. The study of these burials, and their relation to foederati burials and the military community have been neglected. This paper will explore this relationship and assessing where more work is needed to develop a picture of the funerary landscape at the interface between military and civilian in Late Antique Germania Secunda.
Solitary and deviant burials in late Antique Tongeren
Steven Vandewal, City of Tongeren
Archaeological traces prove that in the early fifth century events occurred that influenced the evolution of Tongeren (Atuatuca Tungrorum) as a town greatly. Not only did the number of archaeological traces decrease, there was also, for example, a sharp decline in the number of burials in the late Roman cemeteries around the town (although these presumably remained in partial use until the seventh century). Contrary to what has been assumed up to now, namely that the city was virtually deserted in the fifth century, there are indications to the contrary. In this, Tongeren follows a historiographical discussion – about continuity of habitation or not – which has already taken place in several other locations in northern Gaul and Britannia. To persist that Tongeren was a deserted place in the fifth and sixth centuries, however, can no longer be maintained. One of the elements that could lead to a new insight into the development of the town or its habitation during this period are the so-presumed 'solitary' burials, found in the town or in the immediate vicinity of the late Roman town wall. What are considered solitary burials seem rather to form part of a pattern. Haphazardly found inhumations appear to be intentional burials, oriented towards certain Roman buildings or in the vicinity of locations that had a certain symbolism. Apart from being some of the few traces from that chaotic fifth century, these burials give a clue as how the capital of the civitas Tungrorum evolved during the early Middle Ages.

Q: Turn array into objects in javascript I'm trying to sort a big collection of data in google sheets app script which doesn't support ES6! (I think)
The array looks something like this
var data = [["Frank", "franck@gmail.com", 21],["Mark", "Mark@gmail.com", 23]]
I would love the idea to turn the array into objects where I can access every object by the name ex:
Frank.name
Frank.email
Frank.age

I tried the following
function Driver(name, email, age) {
    this.name= name;
    this.email= email;
    this.age = age;
  }

and then
for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
  data[i][0]= new Driver (data[i][0],data[i][1],data[i][2])
}

But it is not working
Can You help me with this?

A: If I understand your requirement

I would love the idea to turn the array into objects where I can access every object by the name

correctly, then the solution is as simple as this:
ES6 Version

function Driver(name, email, age) {
    this.name= name;
    this.email= email;
    this.age = age;
}

const data = [["Frank","franksmail",2], ["name2", "mail2", 3], ["name3", "mail3", 4]]

const mappedData = data
//map the array of arrays to an array of Drivers
.map(props => new Driver(...props))
//reduce the array of drivers to a single object
.reduce((accumulator, currentDriver) => {
    accumulator[currentDriver.name] = currentDriver
    return accumulator
}, {})

console.log(mappedData)
console.log(mappedData.Frank.email)

ES5 Version:

function Driver(name, email, age) {
    this.name= name;
    this.email= email;
    this.age = age;
}
var data = [["Frank","franksmail",2], ["name2", "mail2", 3], ["name3", "mail3", 4]]

var mappedData = data
//map the array of arrays to an array of Drivers
.map(function (props) {
  return new Driver(props[0], props[1], props[2])
})
//reduce the array of drivers to a single object
.reduce(function (accumulator, currentDriver) {
    accumulator[currentDriver.name] = currentDriver
    return accumulator
}, {})

console.log(mappedData)
console.log(mappedData.Frank.email)

Warning:
If you have to Divers with the same name in your data array then you'll loose one of them.

Media Release: Clayton Utz expands health and wellbeing support with dedicated National Mental Health Manager
Sydney, 18 October 2019: Clayton Utz has appointed Emma Howard to the newly created role of National Mental Health Manager as part of the firm's continued investment in supporting its people to maintain good mental health.
A practising consultant psychologist for many years, Emma will help refine and improve the way Clayton Utz approaches and delivers mental health initiatives, training and education. Emma was previously the Corporate Services Manager and a Senior Consultant Psychologist for Centre for Corporate Health and its sister company, Resilia.
Emma said she saw an opportunity to bring her experience in both clinical practice and in mental health training and education to help Clayton Utz continue to build on its health and wellbeing initiatives.
"I have worked with clients in a range of industries including banking, law and media, and fundamentally the challenges are the same. We need to keep people talking about mental health and give people the reassurance that they're not alone and that there is support available," said Emma.
Clayton Utz has made mental health a priority as part of its broader health and wellbeing initiatives. Over 200 partners and employees have been trained as Mental Health First Aiders and Mental Health Champions, and all Clayton Utz people have access to training and resources on mental health related topics such as anxiety, sleep, and resilience. They can also access free, confidential 24/7 counselling by senior psychologists through the firm's Employee Assistance Program, CU Assist.
Clayton Utz Deputy Chief Executive Partner – People and Development, Kate Jordan, said the legal profession was generally getting better at encouraging people to be more open in having conversations about mental health. However, it was important to keep mental health front of mind, every day.
"The legal industry is known for having higher rates of people who are experiencing challenges with mental health, such as depression and anxiety. That's why we've really invested in building an integrated health approach around promoting positive mental wellbeing and methods of early prevention and intervention," she said, noting that this approach had seen a 72% reduction in the cost of psychological injury claims.
"Recruiting Emma as our National Mental Health Manager shows that we take our people's mental health seriously and understand that we need to maintain the momentum around the work we've done to date in peer training and support and in de-stigmatising mental health in the workplace."
Clayton Utz was recently recognised as a Gold Employer under the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Skilled Workplace Program and is a founding member the Corporate Mental Health Alliance.
The leadership of its Head of Insurance and Risk, Alexia Houston, in helping drive the firm's mental health strategy has also seen her shortlisted as a finalist for Wellness Advocate of the Year at the 2019 Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards.

Description of the Research Works
Trained in Control Theory, my main field of expertise consists in connecting methods from Analysis and Stochastic Processes in view of solving concrete problems of applied mathematics, not necessarily arising from Control.
In the course of my scientific career I have supervised around 20 PhD students.
2 DESCRIPTION OF RESULTS
2.1 STOCHASTIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
I was among the early initiators of the theory of stochastic PDE in the sense of Ito. I worked in particular, alone or in cooperation, on stochastic monotone equations, stochastic Navier-Stokes equations, stochastic variational inequalities, and more recently on stochastic inertial manifolds.
This theory has found some of its most interesting applications in the study of nonlinear filtering theory, where the work of my former student PARDOUX is a reference.
Note that numerical resolution is now within reach, which makes this field of research quite active and quite useful for applications.
2.2 FILTERING AND CONTROL OF STOCHASTIC DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
These problems have been at the origin of my research. In particular my thesis (under the supervision of J.L. LIONS) was devoted to Kalman filtering for linear systems with white noise inputs on both time and space. My main contribution was to make use of the theory of cylindrical measures of
Gelfand Vilenkin and L. Schwartz. This permits a rigorous approach to a large variety of problems, provided the model is linear.
I was in particular able to apply these techniques to a bidimensional model playing a role in image processing, or to the problem of optimal location of sensors.
In the problem of control, I contributed strongly to the theory of necessary conditions, and to a rigorous approach of Dynamic Programming via nonlinear semi-groups.
The main field of application concerns the stochastic control of systems with partial information, which naturally has a huge domain of applications.
2.3 OPTIMAL STOPPING, IMPULSE CONTROL, VARIATIONAL AND QUASI VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES
I discovered, which is now standardly used, that variational inequalities corresponded to the dynamic programming treatment of optimal stopping, and then solved, with J. L. LIONS, the impulse control problem, via a new theory, called the theory of quasi variational inequalities. This has initiated a long and fruitful cooperation on this topic with J.L. LIONS and many colleagues and students. Many applications of this theory concern old and new problems of Operations Research and Management, as well as Physics and Mechanics.
2.4 REGULARITY of NONLINERAR SYSTEMS of ELLIPTIC and PARABOLIC PDE and APPLICATIONS
Stochastic Nash differential games lead to sytems of elliptic and parabolic PDE. The regularity of solutions is extremely important for obtaining a Nash point. This has motivated a longstanding cooperation with J. FREHSE, one of the worldwide specialists of the regularity of elliptic systems. I have also solved with him the ergodic case, which even in the case of one equation was open in its full generality.
2.5 ROBUST CONTROL and RISK-SENSITIVE CONTROL
My interest for this domain stems from its connection with the field of Risk sensitive stochastic control. In fact, I first solved with J. VAN SCHUPPEN the problem of finding a sufficient statistics(of the same size as the the state, which was an open problem) for the LEG (Linear ExponentialGaussian) control. More recently, in cooperation with J. BARAS and R. ELLIOTT, for the partial information case, and H. NAGAI and J. FREHSE for the full information case, I have contributed several results to justify some earlier formal treatment. The connection between robust control and risk sensitive control can be best seen through small noise introduction and singular perturbations. This is a field of very active research worldwide, by the broadness of the applications and the use of many mathematical techniques. It is one of my current research areas.
2.6 EXACT CONTROLLABILITY
After the introduction of the HUM method by J. L. LIONS, and its use by many authors, I got interested in developing a general theory of exact controllability for infinite dimensional systems,where the dynamics is driven by a skew-symmetric operator. In this way, one can unify most of the existing results concerning wave equations, Maxwell equations, ...
2.7 HOMOGENIZATION
Initiated by the probabilistic interpretation of homogenization, my interest in this domain has widened into an important cooperation with J.L. LIONS and G. PAPANICOLAOU, where we have developed many general approaches to this very fruitful theory.
More recently with L. BOCCARDO and F. MURAT I have considered the homogenization of Bellman equations, and with G. BLANKENSHIP the case of random homogenization.
2.8 REGULAR and SINGULAR PERTURBATIONS
Homogenization can be viewed as a particular situation of singular perturbations. But of course many other situations can be considered. It was natural for me to be interested in their application to Control theory, both deterministic and stochastic, and in the latter case with full or partial information. Many particularly useful results can be obtained in the case of partial information, where one can derive approximate but accurate finite dimensional feedback laws, where the optimal one is infinite dimensional.
2.9 SPECIFIC PROBLEMS in OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT and in FINANCE
Since Control Theory has a lot of applications in many areas of Quantitative Management, I have cooperated with several specialists of the field to obtain the solution of concrete problems. My current interest lies in Operations Management and in Finance. I have been working in the design of complex options with M. CROUHY and D. GALAI. More recently, with my student H. Julien, I have investigated models of options for incomplete markets, where the incompleteness arises from "frictions" in the management of portfolios. Another approach to this problem has been developed with N. TOUZI and J. L. MENALDI, using penalty approximations and Viscosity methods. Since I joined UTD, the University of Texas at Dallas, I have been working on Inventory Control problems, with S. Sethi, M. Cakanyldirim, and PhD students. Our research focuses on stochastic models with partial information ( a field where little is available ), on service constraint models, on s, S policies. I have been also involved , jointly with S. SETHI, in models of Economic Growth developed by K.J. ARROW and al., taking into account population growth aspects.

As you can see by my last post it has been over a month ago from my last post on the blog. Base on my blog's traffic activities there are some still visiting my Blog. Thank you for those checking it out!
As mentioned on my last post I felt some discouragement on the direction I was taking my blog. Therefore some editing, re-organizing and scheduling myself better had to happen! While some of the organizing has been done, there are other sections still needed to be updated. The good news is that the updates are minimal.
So what's new?? Running is now a feature subject I am focusing on. This has always been something I've shared but now there's a permanent home on the blog so is easier for you to find on top of this page. I hope that it motivates, encourages and provides tips to help you achieve your goals. Feel free to post your comments, questions or request.
So what have been I up to?! Aside to working my full time job, in late May I signed up to run the beautiful SF Marathon happening on July 27...(13 days and counting). Have you ever participated in it or thought about it? This course is beautiful not just because I am from the SF Bay are but really if you ever visited San Francisco it can take your breath away. The biggest personal highlight is that a section on the bridge is closed off for Runners!
In other news, this September my brother and girlfriend will make me an aunt for the 1st time!! The entire family is over joy and counting the months till baby Sophia is born. I am sure the Mommy-to-be is more excited for baby to come than any of us. When they first announced the great news I couldn't believe it but as time is getting closer only excitement fills my heart.
So there you go...that's what's up with me lately! I am super excited to continue sharing with you. You can follow me thru Bloglovin (click here to learn about it).
what YOU been up to??!
I'm so glad that you found your recharged voice for your blog. It's a favorite of mine!
Thanks for the love !!

This is a great place. My favorite is the owner (Ron maybe?) Such a great color and cut. Really nice folks. Convenient Town Center location!
Tue worst experience of my life! I will never got there! Customer service is horrible and they treat new customers horrible!
Renee is amazing, her massages are one of the best I have ever had. I love her and this spa. Staff is all very friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing.
orrible! On 8/7/2015 I came in to get a haircut and highlights I asked for soft natural highlights. The owner Mr. Alberto Ferreira who has being in the business for over 30 years. The tells me of course we can do natural highlights. I showed Mr. Ferreira a picture of a dark brunette with soft highlights. That is not what I got. I looked like a young Justin Timberlake in the 90's. Imagined platinum blonde against dark brown hair. Horrible he kept saying it's beautiful you are going to love it. I hate it. He had another appointment and after 3 hours. I was exhausted! Got home and realized the horrible job this master stylist, 30 year professional and owner of a Hair Salon had done to my hair. If you look at my pictures I put on yelp you will see the botch work. I called and he scheduled me for 8/11/2015. He put a toner which softened the tone. However that doesn't fix: the highlights start an inch from my scalp, the huge gaps of brown hair not highlighted in the back. I am an experienced client of having highlights done. Never has a job being so sloppy and botched. In order not to burn my hair I must deal with this hair for 2 months before I can go to a real color professional and get it fixed. Learn from my expensive mistake. DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!

Is the Las Vegas artwork scene's streak of unhealthy luck lastly over?
The arid metropolis affectionately generally known as Sin Metropolis has made vacillating strides to rectify its status as a cultural desert through the years. The newest enterprise to land there may be the nationally roving Artist / Metropolis exhibition collection, conceived by the New York-based seller Stefania Bortolami, presenting artwork in off-beat environments across the US. For its Las Vegas iteration, a decommissioned bus terminal close to Fremont Road has been transformed into a brief gallery with work by Jonas Wooden, Susumu Kamijo and Koichi Sato hung from the ceiling.
"I didn't decide Las Vegas essentially due to Las Vegas, however what I've found from doing this undertaking throughout is that each metropolis has a pool of collectors; principally they go to New York, typically Los Angeles, or Miami artwork gala's," Bortolami says. "Would I open a gallery in Vegas? No. However we do have some collectors right here, and plenty of artists are fascinated by spending time in Las Vegas, so perhaps there may very well be a market price tapping into."
The seller Emmanuel Perrotin has additionally gambled on the town's art-market potential, partnering with MGM Resorts Worldwide to open a retailer earlier this 12 months on the Bellagio on line casino and resort on the Strip that sells palatably-priced prints, editions, publications and artist-designed objects by stars of its roster like Maurizio Cattelan and Takashi Murakami. Perrotin entrepreneurially implied that the shop has the facility to democratise artwork, stating that "artwork is for everybody", even these not properly versed in up to date artwork or who can not afford to buy blue-chip works.
These new areas and tasks are small indicators of progress for a metropolis that has lengthy struggled to assimilate superb artwork into its panoply of cultural choices. Tempo Gallery opened a retailer within the Bellagio in 2002 that closed simply 5 years later. No blue-chip galleries have everlasting outposts within the space. And a lot of the artwork on public view belongs to company on line casino collections and is dispersed all through properties alongside the Strip.
The primary main cultural milestone for the town was orchestrated by on line casino magnate Steve Wynn—who resigned as chairman and chief government of Wynn Resorts in 2018 following a collection of sexual harassment accusations—when he opened the Bellagio Gallery of Wonderful Artwork in 1998. The gallery initially showcased works from Wynn's private assortment, valued at $400m—items by artists like Henri Matisse, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso—and charged $10 admission. Though the works had been obtainable on the market, most guests had been spectators, with a survey revealing that round 30% had by no means beforehand entered an artwork gallery.

World viewers
The gallery quickly closed when MGM acquired Wynn's properties in 2000 together with round $200m of his artwork assortment in a $4.4bn merger. It later reopened with rotating exhibitions managed by MGM's artwork and tradition division, which has labored to spice up its up to date artwork holdings, typically by deaccessioning the European masterworks it inherited from Wynn.
Wynn's assortment got here into the highlight once more final 12 months, when MGM sought to offset its money owed with a Sotheby's sale in Las Vegas of Picasso work that the gaming mogul had hung within the Picasso restaurant on the Bellagio. The sale carried out properly towards its estimate ($70m-$100m), fetching $110m (with charges) and solidifying Las Vegas as an "plain website to congregate a worldwide viewers", says Julian Dawes, a senior vp and head of the Impressionist and Fashionable artwork division at Sotheby's.
"There's an unlimited quantity of wealth, not simply from casinos and world purchasers but additionally from latest sports activities and leisure industries, that permits the market to be built-in into the bigger inhabitants, even when nonetheless a small and rarefied inhabitants," Dawes says. "There are alternatives for Perrotin or whoever else to say that artwork is on the menu, and that it's best to have good issues."
Artwork adviser Michele Quinn of Las Vegas-based MCQ Wonderful Artwork argues that there's nonetheless headway to be made earlier than the town can develop into a full-fledged artwork vacation spot, and that for now there's a explicit energy within the pop-up mannequin. Earlier this 12 months, Quinn partnered with Marianne Boesky Gallery to carry an exhibition of works by the Haas Brothers in downtown Las Vegas.
"The long-term gallery mannequin is simply unsustainable; we're not a walkable metropolis exterior of the Strip and vacationers should not right here to concentrate on artwork even when the gallery is on the Strip," Quinn says. "Folks don't equate Las Vegas with superb artwork accumulating. The items need to be extra ornamental or architecturally built-in, and it's arduous for them to compete on a visible degree with every part else happening round them as a result of this place isn't constructed for quiet reflection."
An anticipated Las Vegas department of the Reno-based Nevada Museum of Artwork, introduced in 2018, was scrapped in 2020 on account of inadequate funding exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, in keeping with the chief government David Walker. The museum would have value round $250m and was envisioned as a worldwide vacation spot that will "not emphasise tourism, which is why perhaps some previous makes an attempt to construct a museum there, just like the Guggenheim, haven't labored".
Walker refers to a failed partnership between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Basis and the Venetian on line casino and resort in 2001, when the inspiration opened two Rem Koolhaas-designed museums and a present store contained in the on line casino. The Guggenheim Las Vegas closed after 15 months and a single exhibition, and the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, a smaller adjoining museum, closed practically seven years later, equally on account of ailing funds and poor attendance.
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Artwork on the College of Nevada, Las Vegas, is the one extant superb artwork museum within the metropolis. It was based within the Nineteen Sixties as a pure historical past museum and has rebranded as a recent artwork museum over the previous decade, earlier than it was practically compelled to shut on account of lack of state funding. It holds a major assortment, however the museum is tucked away on the college campus and never simply accessible or marketed to vacationers.
Though tasks with little industrial viability nonetheless face bleak prospects of success in Las Vegas for now, arguably a few of the finest artwork choices in and close to the town are largely free from its capitalist trappings, from Ugo Rondinone's mega-popular neon cairns Seven Magic Mountains (2016) to Michael Heizer's Double Unfavorable (1969) and Metropolis (1970-2022), the latter of which opened to guests in September. However these works require a pilgrimage past the Strip, and their true worth to any customer or native is inherently subjective.

Mike Judge's new animated series, "King of the Hill" (Sunday night at 8:30, WNYW/Ch. 5), takes a page from the playbook of live-action sitcoms this weekend, and brings in another member of its TV family for a guest shot. In the case of the animated Hill family, it's Hank's dad, Cotton, a World War II veteran making his first appearance on this midseason success. Son Hank and grandson Bobby love the old man, but Hank's wife, Peggy, doesn't exactly cotton to Cotton, for perfectly understandable reasons.


This weekend was pretty fantastic food-wise. First of all, we had 회 (hoe), which is Korean raw fish. It also came with sushi. 맛있어요 (delicious).
The next evening a good friend made a delicious meal. It must have taken him hours to cut up all the vegetables in the thin strips. I love the pickled radish slices that you roll the vegetables and eggs in. He served it with Korean beef stew. Awesome.
Sunday afternoon I had a pretty good lunch at my favorite dingy restaurant in Itaewon. Kimchi jjigae and spicy fried squid. Unfortunately, the aunts that normally cook dinner weren't working, but the uncle did a good job.
Sunday evening finished with a healthier dish- vegetarian well-being buffet. I've been to this restaurant before (straight out of exit 4 of 답십리) and I recommend it. Really cheap and plenty of toppings to make your own bowl of brown rice bibimbap. They also have soups, teas, and mock duck. Delicious.
